Honey?

Joanne? Look, I...

Honey? It's okay!

Don't be scared. This is just...

I was just goofin' around!

After three days
in the tomb, Christ lived again.

The resurrection of the body,
the eternal life of the soul.

That is the message of the cross.

Triumph of life over death.

O God, who gave your only begotten son
to the cross,

and by his resurrection
delivered us from the power of death,

to you be the glory and majesty,
dominion and power,

now and forever more.

Amen.

You wanna go play with them, Brian?

Here. Give me your jacket.
Go ahead. You'll be great.

There ya go.

You let him play football?

It's more like smear the queer.

The older boys are good with him.
It's nice to see.

I just worry. They're so... big.

He'll be fine.

Rod and Harriet are coming today.

You remember him, right?
He's with First Credit.

- He did the car loan.
- Right.

They're looking to list their ranch.

Honey, it's a barbecue.

Yes, where people are sociable.
Real estate is all word of mouth.

Make a little effort.

Mingle.

These are nice people.

I worked 65 hours this week.

I got two coolers of beer.

Consider me a social butterfly.

- Thanks, Harriet!
- Oh, no problem.

- I'll see you there.
- Okay.

There he is!

Mom, I played football.

Oh, Brian!

Look at your shirt.

He looks like a winner.
Like he played the game.

In the car, Broadway Joe.

Honey?

- You gonna... socialize?
- Just finishing these.

Okay.

Bill?

- It's Bill, right?
- Bill Tench.

Rod!

- So glad you could make it.
- Hey.

I got roped into a game of Frisbee tag
for the last half hour.

Well,
Bill was looking for a grilling partner,

so you could hide out here.

Thank you.

You got a really nice place.
When did you buy?

About five years ago.

Could use a little work back here,
if I had the time.

Well, you know Dale?
He's got the Tudor around the corner.

He's got someone. Uh...

Dale! Come here.

- Bill Tench.
- I was just saying

you have somebody help you
with your landscaping.

Dale's in contracting,
and Nancy said somethin' about Quantico?

I'm with the bureau.
In the Psychology Department.

We work on special projects.

Top secret?

No. It's nothin' like that.

I'm in a unit
that studies repeat offenders.

Things like what?

We deal specifically
with people who commit...

compulsive crimes.

What is that exactly?

Like Son of Sam,
Boston Strangler, like that.

How do you study them?

- We interview them.
- In prison? They talk to you?

Some of them can't stop talking.

- Who do you talk to? Give us one example.
- Yeah. What do they say?

You know,
it's not really barbecue conversation.

Do they tell you why they do it?

Oddly, some of them love to talk about it.

One guy, the Coed Killer,

sat right across a table from us,
two feet away,

and described, in detail,

how he murdered...
...six coeds.

That's nuts.

He killed 'em, then carved 'em up
like a Christmas turkey.

Are they all so cold-blooded?

Depends.

When we interviewed Richard Speck...

You sat in the same room
with Richard Speck?

You never told me that.

You know, I didn't sleep for a month
after that happened.

Did you, Harriet?

I don't like to hear
about things like that. I...

I make Rod turn off the news,
or I'd never sleep.

Oh, honey,

Harriet said Rod takes his boat out
on three-day weekends.

I told her you love to fish.

Come anytime.

So, what'd he kill, seven, eight nurses?

- Nine.
- Why'd he do it? What'd he say?

- Lunch, everybody!
- Trust me, you don't wanna know.

Sure we do.

Stop it.
I don't want you talking about this

with these people here.
Do you understand? Thank you.

Doctor!

- Doctor, he's doing it again!
- Mr. Ford, please.

- I got it.
- Please.

Agent Ford,

I need you to calm down.

Look at me.

Breathe slowly.

That's it.

I need to know you'll remain calm,
and I'll release you.

- All right?
- Uh-huh.

One, two, three, four! Move! Move!
Let's go!

Hurry up, guys!

Shepard called.

He ordered copies of all our tapes
and transcripts.

- I'm about to send them up.
- Guess he doesn't want any more surprises.

I can't say I blame him.

He wants to see you this afternoon.

4:30.

End of the day. He ask for Holden?

Just you.

There ya go.

- Hey.
- Don!

What are you doin' down here?

Uh, I heard you'd been redecoratin'
the cellar.

Yeah, I haven't been down here
since we used to hit the shootin' range.

- What is that, 15 years ago?
- Well, it's not much,

but we like to call it... the basement.

Speaking of,
brought you a housewarming gift.

- It's been under my desk for three years.
- I thought we were friends, Don.

It's gonna find its way to you eventually.

"BTK."

Bind, torture, kill.

Wichita PD used to call
for consults now and again.

- Well, this has been cold for a while.
- His last victim was in '77,

but a little while ago,
he had a near miss.

Once Wichita confirmed it was him,
they called.

I told 'em I'm no longer in the business,
but I know a guy who is.

- How many does he got?
- Seven, we think.

Plus this woulda, coulda, shoulda.
Anna Williams, 63,

comes home from square dancin',

finds things missin'
and her phone line cut.

They treat it as a robbery,

then she receives this poem
and her driver's license in the mail.

He also mailed a copy
to a local TV station.

"'Twas perfect plan of deviant pleasure,

so bold on that Spring nite.

Oh, A..., Why Didn't You Appear?"

- Jesus.
- As sorry a poet

as he is a criminal mastermind.

- Seven kills is pretty successful.
- You gotta look at the first one.

So sloppy,
it's a miracle he got away with it.

The Otero family, '74.

Four people. Broad daylight.

The father, two kids,
and the dog were home.

There are so many things that were f...
Nah, just couldn't have been planned.

Complicated knots.

What's that on his head?

Plastic bag and two T-shirts.

Couple of months later,
the police got the first letter.

Gave details only the real guy could know.
That's when they called.

What'd you tell 'em?

That it was real.
Most likely, he'd kill again.

You know how it was in those days.
We were talking about bed-wettin'.

- Did they go public with the letter?
- Uh, we advised them not to.

Everyone was afraid
that publicity might encourage him.

He's killed three times since then.

Probably Kathryn Bright, April '74.

Definitely Shirley Vian, March '77.

Nancy Fox, December '77.

After the last one,
they asked if they should tell the city

- they had a predator.
- You said "probably" about one of them.

Kathryn Bright.

He never claimed her
but left a witness, her brother.

This most recent letter corroborates one
he mailed to KAKE TV in '78.

He names six of the seven victims.
Look at number five.

"Number five...

You guess motive and victim."

Bright was tied with similar knots,
but she was stabbed,

so we've never been sure.

They promoted a Lieutenant Drowatzky
to take over the case.

He's a go-getter. Lots of energy,

- so maybe start with him.
- Good to see ya, Don.

You know, um,
I'd love to hear what you come up with.

Absolutely.

All right.

Oh, Bill!

Why don't we go in my office?

We've known each other a long time,
so I wanted to speak to you personally,

and before you heard it somewhere else.

Should I be packing?

Oh, no. God, no.

Bill, I'm finally doing it.

I'm sorry, sir. Doing what?

Congratulate me, I'm retiring.

- Really?
- Yes.

That's, um...

Congratulations, sir. Uh...
It's just, the timing seemed...

I've been mulling this for ages now.

I just kept puttin' it off.

Peg is gonna finally make me visit
all those grandkids.

The timing is perfect.
I've found someone to take over

who I think will be very good for the BSU.

Ted Gunn,

assistant drector of Public Affairs
in DC.

Public Affairs?

He's not just an expensive suit.

He was a brick agent in Los Angeles,
worked SLA and Black Panthers.

He heard about our convictions
in the Devier and Soult cases,

and based on that,

he passed on the top floor
of the Hoover Building.

- To come to Quantico?
- He wants to expand the unit,

and he intends to make
our approach practice.

Everybody's jockeying for position
in the modern FBI.

I want you in to meet him first.

I appreciate that, sir. When is all this...

He's in the conference room.

The question for us is... why?

We think we know why,

and we understand.
All you have to do is tell us

if we're right.

I'm sorry. I had to get to the end.

It's fascinating.

Special Agent Tench.

Uh, please. Bill.

AD Shepard told me
you'd taken an interest,

but it looks like you've dug in.

The greatest hits.

You'll be in excellent hands,
Bill.

And if you need anything,
my office is at your disposal.

I just finished the Devier tapes.

There are 5 minutes
and 58 seconds missing.

You go from discussing school bus times
to a full confession.

Whatever happened in that gap
must have been awfully compelling.

It's unfortunate the Walkman failed
at precisely that moment.

Yes, sir. It is.

Who's responsible for this lapse?

Agent Ford.

Well...

we know he can learn.

You expressed concerns
about Agent Ford to OPR. Why?

My experience is that instinct can
sometimes get you into trouble.

- Hmm.
- Interrogations,

they're partnerships.

It's challenging
when your partner goes his own way.

Bill, my intention in coming
to the BSU was specifically

to establish the work you are doing here
as protocol.

So...

should I cut Agent Ford loose?

Uh...

Sir,
Holden's practices may be questionable,

but it was his idea
to interview violent felons.

And when we started using
what we'd learned anecdotally,

it was his, uh...

Instinct which guided you?

He gets things out of sociopaths
that polite methods just don't.

It would be more than detrimental
to release Agent Ford, sir.

It would diminish the promise of our work.

That is precisely the way I see it.

I want this unit to go from being
a cold-case call to the first call.

Can this young man's instincts be...
harnessed?

Harnessed, sir?

Do you know anything about racehorses,
Bill?

Not enough to win at the track,
unfortunately.

Well, sometimes you have a yearling
with natural speed,

but he's wild, ill-tempered.

The trainer has a choice:

geld him, he becomes more tractable.

But it can take away his spark,
the thing that makes him exceptional.

So, the trainer might put blinders on him.

Now, when the horse races,
he feels like he's... alone.

He does what he does best,
but on the track.

- Do you understand what I'm saying?
- You don't wanna castrate Holden.

I need you to be Agent Ford's blinders.

Keep him from swinging...
too wide of the mark.

Can I count on you for that?

Absolutely, sir.

Tell me about Dr. Carr.

Dr. Carr gives essential context
to everything we do here.

- Are you on the same page?
- Well, you'd have to ask her, sir.

I'd like to think we are.

Just wanna be certain,
if we're gonna have an academic

in our midst,
it helps, not hinders, our progress.

Oh, I believe it does.

It was great to talk, Bill.
Please, if you need anything, let me know.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, and the OPR investigation is,
in my opinion, imprudent.

I'm working to have it dismissed.
I'll let you know when I'm successful.

That'd be a relief.

Would you send Agent Ford up?

I gave Agent Ford a couple of days off.

- He'll be in the office Monday.
- Monday morning will be fine.

- Would you like this open?
- Please.

Shepard's retiring.

Really?

That's what he says.

I have to take him at his word.

And I met his replacement...

from DC.
He might be just what we need.

- How so?
- He sees our potential.

But he says he's going to bat for us
with OPR.

Well, we'll see.

Anybody heard from him?

No.

- You try callin' his friends?
- Does he have friends?

Anything from OPR?

You know what?

We might be okay.

BSU. Tench.

I have a call
from California Medical Facility.

I accept.

- Bill? It's me.
- Where the fuck have you been?

Yeah.

A panic attack is
a miscued fight-or-flight mechanism.

You think it's a heart attack,

but the body is just sending oxygen
to organs that need it for defense.

- A lizard-brain evolution.
- That's about right.

- I didn't have a heart attack?
- The panic was protracted.

We finally had to sedate you.
You'll wanna watch for panic disorder

- and repeat episodes.
- It could happen again?

What caused it in the first place?

I treat the body, not the mind.

I can send you down the hall
to look at inkblots,

but my advice is... manage your stress

and try not to do whatever you were doing
the first time it happened.

If it recurs, benzodiazepine works.
Here's a script with one refill.

- Valium?
- Good luck.

You're my first patient
to walk out of here in 25 years.

You can still dress yourself, can't you?

What brought you to the BSU,
Dr. Carr?

Agents Tench
and Ford approached me about...

Not the mechanics.
What enticed you to give up life in Boston

to work in a basement,
cataloguing the deranged?

I believe
that what we're doing is important.

We're studying psychopaths.

What they do and why has always been
of keen interest.

But my work was
with white-collar criminals.

They're hyper-normal
and incredibly subtle.

So having a captive pool of subjects
whose issues are profound

was a singular opportunity.

And I f-felt...

Like you might make a difference.

Mm-hmm.

I see your contribution here
as critical...

and the integrity
of your research foundational

to everything we hope to do at the BSU.

Well, I'm glad to hear that, sir.

I've spoken with Bill,

who is extremely complimentary
of your work.

What can you tell me about Agent Ford

and his role?

Agent Ford is... inspired.

But he tends to acknowledge data
only if it supports his hypotheses.

- He has been successful.
- In some cases, very.

His choices are always... interesting,
but he tends toward myopic and impulsive.

And yet, successful.

I believe all great things are created
in a place

between method and madness, Dr. Carr.

You feel that's reckless?

No, it's just the first Hamlet reference
I've heard

since coming to Quantico.

Agent Ford needs
to be able to make choices

during interviews which may be...

atypical.

Are you asking me to condone
unprofessional behavior?

Not at all.
I'm asking you to help me prevent it.

But without stifling his... intuition.

Can you help me do that?

I'll certainly try.

That's all I can ask.

You know...

I was offered chief of staff
to the director before I came here,

but I gave it up to work with you
in the basement.

I already believe I made the right choice.

Well, thank you, sir.

Fuck.

What?

What?

Get it together.

Discharge planner
to east nurse's station.

Discharge planner to east...

Panic attacks, visiting Kemper?

- What the fuck?
- I know.

- Why'd you go?
- I don't know, Bill.

Sorry.
There wasn't anyone else I could call.

It wasn't a great time
for me to leave work.

And you don't walk out on OPR.

You get that, right?

I'm assuming you wanna keep doing this,
Holden,

that it's not too stressful for you.

- Yes.
- Then here's what's gonna happen.

You're gonna take the weekend,

get your shit together,

and on Monday morning,
you're gonna present yourself as able,

responsible, and fuc...

...professional.

And no one need ever know
about this... episode.

But from now on, it's my rules.

If I tell you to shut your mouth,
you shut your mouth.

Nod your head if you understand.

- I'll talk to Shepard on Monday...
- Shepard's retiring.

His replacement is
Assistant Director Ted Gunn.

He asked for you.

Don't worry, I covered.

I appreciate that.

You'll meet him
first thing Monday morning.

What's he like?

Very DC.

Gonna be on us like stink on shit.

But if we walk the straight and narrow,
we might be okay.

- If you need anything...
- I'll be fine.

You're welcome.

Is he...?

Agent Ford. Good to finally meet you.

- Pleasure to meet you, sir.
- Just Ted.

Have you been
to the executive dining room?

Just the cafeteria.

Well, they make a great omelet.

You're in early.

Wendy, last week,

- I shouldn't have accused you.
- No, you shouldn't have.

I'm not interested
in the internal politics of the FBI.

But I spoke with Gunn, and it sounds
like we're getting a fresh start,

so... apology accepted.

And I apologize...

by the way.

I have some interesting new subjects
we should look at.

Sounds good.

- How long has he been up there?
- About ten minutes.

He came in, dropped his things,
went upstairs without a word.

Fingers crossed.

What you're gleaning
from these interviews is groundbreaking.

- It's the future of the bureau.
- I agree,

but... we haven't really been...

Getting much support?

Hoover built a very big ship.
It's hard to turn by design.

But these ideas aren't just progressive,

they're practical and effective.

- You've proven that.
- I've tried,

but it's been a battle.

And I'm here to change that.

I respect Assistant Director Shepard,
but we differ in many ways.

I welcome innovation,
even when it comes with some...

inconvenience.

We don't want DC...
to give us their permission.

We want them to see us
as the train leaving the station

and fear being left behind.

- How do we do that?
- Results.

- Uh...
- Like you got from Devier

and the Altoona case.

I'll put you in position,

but you must deliver.

Tell me, who's the one you want
more than anything?

- The one Shepard said you couldn't get?
- Oh...

- Manson.
- I'll get you Manson.

- But I need something from you in return.
- You got it.

Nothing derails an initiative faster
than an OPR investigation.

- I... took full responsi...
- I'll make it go away.

But I need total transparency.

You'll have a direct line of communication
with me,

but I want your assurance
I will never be blindsided.

- Ever.
- You needn't worry about me.

Can I tell you something, Holden?

Mm-hmm?

Agent Tench, Dr. Carr...

I love this team you've put together.

Thank you, Ted.

William Henry Hance.

26 when he was arrested in '78
for killing four women.

Our first black serial killer.

There are so few statistics
on black serial killers

that we'll essentially be creating
the database.

And?

I was impressed.

Oh, you were?

He has vision.

Great. So, Hance?

What's really interesting about him is
that his first victim was white.

It's the first time any
of our subjects have crossed racial lines.

Could that have been racially motivated?

Well, we'll want to ask that.
But more importantly, if it wasn't,

was it somehow racially determined?

Hance is at the same penitentiary
as one of our other subjects

who was convicted of eight murders,
William Pierce, Jr.

So you could get them both
at the same time.

He's getting us Manson.

Excuse me?

Ted told me he's getting us Manson.

How'd that happen?

Manson doesn't really fit
into the category of psychosexuals

that we've interviewed.

You're saying we shouldn't talk
to the most infamous murderer

of the 20th century?

Manson never killed anyone.

Unlike all of these subjects who have,
multiple times,

and at least once with a sexual component.

I kind of agree with Dr. Carr.
We can't just go after the infamous.

Okay. Before we move forward
with anything,

I feel we should clear the air.

Which air would you like to clear?

I discussed this with Bill,
but I want you both to know too.

With OPR, I took full responsibility
for suggesting the transcripts be altered.

- That will not hang over any of you.
- I was completely honest as well.

Gregg,

what did you tell them?

I told them the truth.

I explained that you asked me
to alter the transcript.

The OPR investigation escalated
because someone sent them the Speck tape.

I was the only person who didn't care
who heard what was on that tape,

so it could have been me,
but... I know I didn't do it.

Shepard made the decision
to destroy the tape,

so he had the most to lose.

Bill, you were adamant
about getting rid of it,

so it wasn't you.

And, Wendy, I was frankly shocked
to hear Bill accuse you.

We were all in a bit of shock, Holden.

Wendy had no reason to send the tape.

She would never jeopardize our hard work.

You sent the Speck tape to OPR.

I...

I felt like we were getting in
deeper and deeper.

Jesus Christ.

- We needed to be honest.
- You needed to be honest.

- Why didn't you come to us, Gregg?
- I did. But you all chose a cover-up.

If we spin lies, alter records,
that's a slippery slope.

- Fair enough.
- Is it? Is it fair enough?

That you put all of us at risk
just to soothe your delicate conscience?

I sent the tape anonymously.
I was prepared to go down with everyone.

So we could all be
on unemployment together?

Gregg, I think we need to trust,
moving forward,

that decisions affecting the entire unit
will not be made without discussion.

I don't think
Benedict Arnold gets a vote anymore.

Sorry. I hope I'm not interrupting.

No. We were just discussing next steps.

- You must be Agent Smith.
- Sir.

Ah.

I'd like you all to know

OPR has officially closed its inquiry.

- That's great news, sir.
- Yes.

And that means
we will indeed be moving forward.

Although,
I'd like to accelerate our timeline.

Currently, it stands to take how long?

Ballpark.

Rough ballpark:

two more years for interviews,
another for synthesis.

Too long.

I intend to get you the resources you need
to complete your work

properly and promptly.

Researchers, transcribers,
technical support.

Whomever, whatever you need, I will get.

- How's that sound?
- Crowded, sir.

It does, doesn't it?

This room is being wired for a CPU
to handle all your data.

There's space for trainee agents,
support personnel.

You can begin your selection process

and start creating a training curriculum
right away.

We're also adding a break room.

And a bathroom?

And a bathroom.

This is perfect, Ted.

- Where are you going?
- Since we have all this new space,

I'll be just down the hall.

Let the healing begin.

Hey. Buy you a drink?

It's not necessary.

There's something
that I'd like to get your advice on.

If you have time.

You're buying.

Let's get a booth.

How did you find this place?

Followed the marines one day after work.
Like a line of ants.

So, what is it that you wanna discuss?
Is this about Gregg?

No. Why do you say that?

Flaying him like that.
It could've been handled better.

I thought with Shepard leaving,
we should start with a clean slate.

I don't think that Bill sees
anything as clean,

especially now
that FBI tribal law's been broken.

At least now he knows
you didn't leak the tape.

That was between Bill and me.

And we could've all done
without the public stoning.

I don't have a problem with Gregg
now that I know his limits.

His limits?

He has a particular moral code.

At least now we can anticipate that.

So, if not Gregg?

I was in the hospital.

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

I am now.

I had a...

panic attack.

Actually, they said I had several.
I don't remember.

I was heavily sedated.

The doctor told me
I might have panic disorder.

Has this ever happened before?

No. Never.

Holden, I need you to tell me
what happened physically,

and I want you to be precise.

It felt like I was having a heart attack.

I... couldn't breathe.

- Did you lose consciousness?
- No.

- Vision?
- Tunneled.

- Have you had any since?
- The opposite.

I feel energized.
I wanna get back to work,

and we're finally getting
the support we need.

At the same time, I don't want anything...

Specifically,
what precipitated the episode?

I went to see Kemper.

By yourself?

Panic attacks are often brought on
by feelings of acute vulnerability.

Psychopaths are extremely manipulative,
and he knows you.

So he would know exactly
your areas of sensitivity.

Did he threaten you?

No, not exactly. He...

hugged me.

When we empathize with a psychopath,
we actually negate the self.

We deny our own beliefs
about decency and humanity,

and that can be very dangerous.

- I can handle it.
- Are you sure?

Because the last place
that you would want for this to happen is

during an interview. Especially now.

Which is why I wanted to see
if you had any insight.

Well, ideally, you would
regulate the stress in your life.

Outside of that,
there's getting enough sleep, exercise,

maybe meditation.

Exercise. I can do that. I can jog.

And that's a good start,

but you also need to pay attention
to the signs.

Shortness of breath,
accelerated heart rate,

impaired vision, vertigo.

I can keep an eye out,

but you are the only one
that's gonna feel something coming on.

Okay.

He hugged you?

I'd like to help you.

So if you need someone to talk to
about... anything,

I'm here.

I can't tell you how much
I appreciate that, Wendy.

Because sometimes, doing what I do,

it's nice to know
that there's someone there for me.

Of course.

Following service in World War II
as a decorated airman,

Assistant Director Shepard
spent six years in the Baltimore PD

and was a distinguished graduate
of Quantico,

class of 1953.

- Do you think he's happy?
- He's had 27 years.

I think he's ecstatic to go stand
in waders and pretend to fish.

...spearheaded the introduction
of computer technology,

and developed
countless pioneering training techniques.

But his most lasting legacy could be
our Behavioral Science Unit,

which is set to expand

and will establish the foundation
of a national criminal database.

Sounds like someone's embracing
what we've done.

Embracing the inevitable is how you get
your photo on the wall around here.

...to decipher crime scenes
from a psychological perspective,

allowing agents
to predict criminal behavior

- from the smallest observations.
- That's a lot of icing, not a lot of cake.

He does not look happy.

...I can say that his reputation
has always been one of integrity,

honesty, and absolute decency.

For your service,

I express the gratitude of the bureau
and my congratulations to you, and to Peg,

and to your loving children, Trevor, Sean,
and Lisa, on your retirement.

Hey.

Welcome
to your first formal bureau ass-lick.

Well, you've found a perch
out of the fray.

And you're absolutely welcome
to take shelter on the sideline

- with me if you wish.
- Thank you.

It's a very civilized ass-lick.

Half the Hoover Building came down.

We're on our best behavior.

That guy will know everyone's name
before he leaves.

- How was your meeting with him?
- He seems intelligent, fair,

and very supportive.

Places a lot of stock in Holden.

Actually, he charged me
with keeping him on rails.

Really?

Why is that funny?

He asked me the same thing.

He's shrewder than we thought.

Two babysitters are better than one.

True.

Listen, I gotta do this thing.

A little tip.

If you start to see guys loosening
their ties,

get out while you can.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Excuse me, everyone.
If I could have your attention, please.

Thank you.

As you all know,

we are here tonight to pay tribute
to one of our finest.

A mentor,

a friend,

and a damn fine agent.

Robert. To you, sir.

As FBI agents,

we all wanna bag
one of the Top Ten Most Wanted.

Well, sir,
now that your top ten have names

like trout, pike, and bass...

...we thought we should upgrade
your use of lethal force.

How about this?

Huh?

Enjoy it, sir.

- Speech!
- Speech!

Speech!

I've been honored to serve
with so many of you

as you have distinguished yourselves
and the bureau.

You have made me proud
every day of my tenure,

and I can't begin to thank you enough.

And for this,

I'm putting this to use
as soon as I can get out to Montana.

And if my wife files
a missing person's report,

ignore it.

Thank you.

- Congratulations. Well done.
- Thank you, Bill.

I just wanted to say...

I've only had the honor of working
with you for 3 of your 27 years.

But in that time,

you went out on a limb
and championed bold, new ideas.

With your support,

we've lifted the mask from evil

and are peering
into the very mind of the criminal.

Our little unit thanks you...

sir.

Sir!

Agent Ford.

I just wanted to let you know...

I meant what I said in there.

I'm sure you did, Agent Ford.

Are you okay, sir?

Yeah. Just thinkin' about tomorrow.

First day of retirement.

You're practically sneaking out
of your own party. I just feel like...

Oh, I can't wait to hear how you feel!

You arrogant, self-serving twerp.

I put in 27 years.
Went from brick agent to corner office,

and I'm leaving everything I worked for
with the giant stain of you all over it.

- Sir, I...
- Do you honestly believe

I'm retiring?
You vainglorious little shit.

I'm being forced out
because somebody has to take the fall

for your insubordination,
reckless lack of judgment,

and titanic vanity.

- I took complete responsibility for...
- You really are incredible.

Is all of that fresh-scrubbed earnestness
just an act?

Or are you truly oblivious
to the wreckage you leave in your wake?

I survived a war,

the streets of Baltimore, and Hoover.

And I'm finally being finished off by you?

What?

Jesus. You really are a pussy.

Sir!

I thought you'd forgotten your date.

Not after all these years.

Bill, wonderful party!

- Our pleasure, sir.
- No, the pleasure was mine.

I will always remember it.

Well,
I told Peg that if you get underfoot,

she has permission to send you to me
for the worst round of golf of your life.

I'll keep it in mind.

We're gonna miss you, sir.
It won't be the same.

Oh, I think you'll find
it's always the same.
