How'd you do, champ?

Good. Go show your mom.

Good work, hon.

Hello, you have reached the voicemail for Detective Joel Stevens. If you need

help, you can call Joel's partner, Fearless Bobby Smith, who said that he

not going to bother Joel tonight.

Beep.

I'm trick -or -treating with Willie and Kelly.

Willie, can I give some of your candy to Fearless?

No. No?

Sorry, no candy.

Yeah, what's up?

When?

Yep.

Yeah, okay.

You think you got enough there, sport?

No way.

Well, I think it's gonna have to be enough.

Why?

Because something bad has happened to a friend, and I got to go.

Fearless? No, not fearless. Somebody else. And your dad has to go see if he

help. I hate your job.

I know you do.

I'll take him the next block.

No, no.

He's had enough.

Am I having? I'll take him the next block.

Are you sure?

Yeah, one more block.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.

All right, you have fun?

All right?

Bye. Be careful.

Hey, Joel.

Huh?

Who's the friend? What?

The friend in trouble.

It's a paramedic. Don't worry, okay?

Bye.

But you're not in the costume.

Oh, sure, yeah. You see, I am dressed up as a lawyer.

Impossible. You are très, très handsome for a lawyer, no?

She's got a point.

Voilà.

Your thoughtful host has provided the math for his guests who were unable to

come to the costume.

Do we have to? Please.

He gets really pissed when people don't play along.

No problem.

Bye.

Merci. Thank you very much.

Merci. Man.

David, what are we doing here?

Well, we're always doing here. Hi.

Do you even know what movies he's done?

Honey, the only movie of his that I care about is the 30 -second one he does

three years from now. Thank you very much. It's going to make everyone

they would be absolutely insane to vote for anyone else except for me for DA.

He did that bus movie. Oh, God.

And his latest one is called Killer Outfit. It's one where all the clothes

minds of their own and they start killing people.

Clothes that kill. I'm sorry, I'm drinking.

Check Revelations. I think it's a sign of the apocalypse.

It made over 100 mil. 100 mil? Listen to you. You've been away from home way too

long. Oh, you want to go back?

You think you can settle for being the mayor of Dorchester now?

Uh... Sometimes I wonder.

Honey? I have to see a man about a horse.

At least I didn't say I have to go drink snake.

Which I just did. You did.

Sorry, honey.

I'm sorry. I'm just kidding.

I'd know that walk anywhere.

Do I know you, son?

Sorry, I thought you were saying... David Persinick, you're so gullible.

Why? I need to talk to you. About what? Please.

Look... Well...

Look...

You haven't returned any of my phone calls.

I told you I needed some time.

Some time?

Okay.

How have you been?

Good. You look good.

Thanks.

It's animatronic.

Really? Not the painting actor to open up his chest.

Miss Little are we done?

Because I need some time is usually code for so long, sucker.

I don't think anyone would ever take you for a sucker, David.

But we are done.

I'm wasting my time.

You're never going to leave your wife, even if I wanted you to.

Do I have any say in this matter, or is it that when you say it's over, it's

over?

It's generally how it works.

It's not a contract we have to negotiate our way out of. Really? I thought we

did have a contract. You write about me, I give you information before anyone

else.

Look.

Oh, I see.

You want to maintain that part of the relationship, our little quid pro quo.

We have both benefited from it. We've both benefited from the sex, too.

Yeah, from more than others. No, no, don't.

We both know I knocked your really little socks off.

Look, we can go back to the way the relationship was. The politician and the

reporter scratching each other's back, but at some point that scratching of

other's back turns into biting of each other's neck and grabbing the old

headboard. Which leads to grabbing each other by the neck and squeezing.

You think I planned this? You think I wanted to be the kind of man who cheats

his wife?

Look, my father, my father... My father.

I have a wife downstairs.

She is the most beautiful, most passionate, smartest, and funniest woman

ever met.

What am I?

You.

You're you.

And I can't help myself.

And neither can you.

So I need you to tell me that you don't want me.

Oh, I want you, David.

Sometimes I want to shoot other drivers on the freeway.

Doesn't mean I have to do it.

That's not what I'm saying.

Look in my eyes and tell me you don't want me.

Why? Because I'm addicted to you.

It's like a junkie's addicted to a bag of dope.

I'm powerless.

And I don't like that.

So, if you want this to be over, I really need it to be over.

Ambulance has been hijacked. I have to go.

Excuse me.

Are we done here?

We're done.

Mark, did you get Jameson back there? Yeah, we sure do.

Double. Me.

Actually, we're only allowed to pour single.

Then pour one for me. Or for my friend.

Then pour one for her friend.

There you go. Thank you.

You're welcome.

On the contrary.

I'm celebrating.

Oh, and what are we celebrating?

I just picked a habit.

Grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted, to understand than

to be understood, to love than to be loved.

It is by forgiving one is forgiven.

It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.

Amen.

See, I got your latte.

Oh, sorry.

It's okay. I'm done.

What was your favorite costume when you were a kid?

Well, when I was eight, I was the wolf man or wolf girl.

My mom made it. Halloween was her favorite.

It was great.

How about you?

Darth Vader.

Did a walk at the Cape Flowing. When did you stop?

That year, when I was the Walkman.

You stopped trick -or -treating when you were eight years old? That was the year

that my mom got sick.

On the other side.

Get out of the truck.

Get out of the truck or I'll kill you both.

It's you, not the lady.

What do you want? I want you to shut the hell out and do as you're told.

What do I say?

You live.

No!

Put it in the back.

Now! You good?

At what you do. Are you good at what you better be?

Now get out of here.

Let me make this perfectly clear.

That's my brother.

If he dies, you die.

My brother has a tension pneumothorax.

What's that?

His lung has collapsed.

Shift it into the other side of his chest and stop blood from getting to his

heart. What do you do?

We go to a hospital. I told you we are not... Keep it steady!

No sudden stops, no turns, okay?

I'm decompressing his chest.

I need to get it right between the ribs.

Oh, come on.

What? Red light.

Stop. But I'll have to stop fast. Hit the switch on the ceiling.

No, he's not alright.

He's been shot. He has a collapsed lung and his brother won't take him to the

hospital.

He's doing a lot better than he was a minute ago.

Nothing. Nothing. I'm just going to change his dressing.

Mama, I want to pledge to you that for the rest of my life, Mama, I want to

pledge to you that for the rest of my life, I'm going to do whatever it takes

save people's lives, okay?

My angel.

Who are you talking to?

Your brother.

I thought I heard him say something.

Are you awake?

No. What? Don't come back here.

His wound's open. He can get infected.

I...

Hello? Fine, who's this?

Okay, just a second.

Hello? Can you hear me?

So far.

Okay, he's coming back.

How's he doing?

He's fine.

Where are we?

Why? I just need to know what kind of supplies we've got here.

And what do you need?

Antibiotics, some whole blood.

This is an ambulance. Don't you have that stuff in here? Look, your brother

a bullet in his chest.

Now, you said that I had to fix him, otherwise you're going to kill me.

So, please, there are things that I need, all right? All right, all right.

give me a minute to think where I can find him.

Okay, well, while you're thinking, could you get me some water?

Or do they not have water here?

They have water.

Okay, he's out of the evidence.

No.

It's all dark. It looks like some kind of empty warehouse or something.

No, he took the keys.

Look, should I just run for it?

Okay.

No, you're right.

With what?

No, we don't carry any scalpels.

I got an idea.

We carry epinephrine.

Enough of it will stop his heart.

My patient?

Well, that's the problem.

Because I thought he had attention pneumothorax, but it's really a

tamponade.

It means that the bullet isn't in his lung.

It's in his heart.

His chances.

Not now. He died a couple minutes ago.

And then they just swarmed right in. Yeah, knocked my granddaughter down,

her lip. Is she okay? Is she going to live? Yeah.

But she's still crying.

How many of them were there?

Three. White, black.

Go! Darn it!

Careful there, sir. They were wearing masks, okay?

Like the president, the disrespectful sons of bitches.

And all they took was a plastic pumpkin. What do you mean, all?

That pumpkin cost 30 bucks, okay? It lights up. My granddaughter picked it

What he means, sir, is, uh...

Did they take anything else?

Money, radio, TV?

These punks will grab anything to get their hands on. But this was happening

before? Yes, sir, pretty much every year, but they usually wait until dark.

of bitches.

No, all they took was the pumpkin.

I got a pistol by the bed.

.22 caliber.

Margie makes me use a trigger lock because of the grandkids.

Good idea, sir.

Did you see what they drove off in?

Four -door, dark color. I didn't get the plate or the make.

All right, sir. Well, you've been very helpful. And maybe you can just wait

inside. We're going to call this in.

You're going to go after him, right?

He isn't going to end up with some file somewhere, right? No, sir. We're going

to contact our department and formulate a plan.

What do you think?

I think it's a pumpkin hunt.

You ever been on one?

An upstanding man of the law like me? No, never.

I'm not a plasterer.

But you push 20 or 30 pumpkins off a high -rise, that's a sound you don't

forget.

Look, why don't I pretend to call us in, you say so long to Dirty Harry, and we

can get out of here.

Well, by get out of here, you mean leave here and go and track down these

dangerous youths.

Ray, we must take back the night.

Delight out, Ray. We will take back some day and then take back the night.

Ray, it's just a prank.

Well, they already knocked the little kid down.

What happens at the next house they go to?

Maybe that guy doesn't have an old .22 locked up in the bed stand. Maybe he

picks up his favorite hand cannon and blows a hole through somebody's spine,

for a plastic pumpkin.

All right, so what do you suggest we do?

We take a walk around.

Right. We'll really blend in our uniforms.

They won't notice us.

We will be undercover.

Told you we should have gone to Target. There's one of these discount places.

So all you get is a generic rip -off. They don't really have the money to sell

you the brand name costume.

So, well, you know, like instead of Harry Potter, you get Boy Wizard

So, instead of Jason from Friday the 13th, how about Maniac Hockey Man

Killer?

We're supposed to put these over our uniforms.

Oh, yeah.

Unless you want to go as a Comanche, and then I got to go back and get body

paint, and you got to put that on yourself.

Ma, what do you think?

Oh, I think, I think it's stupid.

Well, in the immortal words of Nigel Tufnel, it's the fine line between

and stupid, isn't it?

Come on, I'm sweating like a backstreet boy in a holding cell.

You should have been the Comanche like I said.

This is so stupid.

Are you going to show the knife or it doesn't look right?

Yeah, we'll just call it a knife.

Oh, a couple more houses. I heard some kids say there's a lady down there

out old -fashioned caramel apples.

All units, we have a hijacking of an RA unit with an EMT aboard in the mid

-Wilshire district.

We need all available personnel. I gotta go.

Get the car!

Man,

don't say it again.

What? I can't take it. I gotta get out.

Hey, where's the bone, man?

Done, man.

Oh, man.

I didn't even get to inhale.

Hey, let's get one more and make it an even dozen.

Dude, don't we already have like 20?

No, we got like 11.

Seems like 20.

Hey, where are we?

Can we get some donuts?

All right, all right. One more and then some donuts.

And maybe we can trade.

A dozen donuts or a dozen plumpkins?

You said it again.

What? What?

Plumpkins!

This place looks familiar.

Okay, you punk bastards. Now!

down in Santa Monica tonight? Well, shopkeeper says four yahoos dressed like

cowboys came in and started shooting, so if it's not them, there's a plague of

cowboys out there. How you feeling? I'm all right. Is there any way to contact

the truck?

I sliced the radio cord.

You've got to find her. I will. We'll do everything we can.

Get everybody looking, even the fire department.

Listen, we need you to stay close, okay? We may have a lot of questions. We need

your help.

Tom, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Not fine. You got popped in the vest.

Supposed to be getting M .T.

You having that M .T.? It's recent.

I'm not sitting this one up.

Yeah, I just remembered.

I left my jacket in the back. It had my phone in it.

I thought he had a tension pneumothorax, but it's really a pericardial

tamponade. What does that mean, Teresa?

It means that the bullet isn't in his lungs, it's in his heart.

Okay, what are his chances?

His chances?

Not now, he died a couple of minutes ago.

Okay, listen.

Do you think you can keep the other guy from finding out?

I'm just going to hook up the ECG. Even though there's no pulse, it'll show some

kind of electrical activity.

Okay.

How's Randy doing? Randy's fine. He's right here. He's worried about you.

Tell me something. Do you have any idea where you are?

No.

But can't they trace the cell phone?

They can, but it's going to take a while, so I need you to think. Do you

remember passing anything? Any sights? Any sounds?

Yes, we were almost in an accident. When?

About ten minutes ago.

We ran a red light, and I saw a couple of cars hit each other.

Got it.

Control. Detective Bobby Smith on the R .A.

hijack. I need a location on an accident, mid -willshirts, ten minutes

Tell me something.

Have you checked his pockets?

No, just a second.

His front pockets are empty. I'll check the back. Okay.

Teresa, we heard a beep here. Can you check the battery indicator on the cell

phone?

Got it. What was that?

Olympic Wilton, headed east. There's something in his back pocket. Just a

second.

It's an employee ID, Bill Wright, security, Samuel McKay, M -C -K -A -Y.

Got it. Control, Detective Bobby Smith again. I need an address for Samuel

McKay, M -C -K -A -Y, security guard.

Let's go.

Okay, Joel, now the other guy's coming back.

Okay.

Teresa, stay calm, all right? I'm going to stay right here with you.

Okay, if I ask you a question, I want you to cough once for yes and twice for

no. You got it?

Great.

Is that a siren?

Teresa, have you made many parents since the accident?

Control. Have all units less than 10 miles due east of Olympic and Wilton

their sirens one at a time. I repeat, one at a time. He's cold. All units east

of Wilton sound siren and call out location.

Quiet! He's breathing. I don't see his chest moving.

Sound the next one.

What's that? Give me a location on that unit.

Have all units, all available units within one mile of West 9th Street in

Crenshaw immediately.

Roger.

Is he dead?

We are running out of time.

Is he dead?

Come on, fight back, Teresa.

You've been talking on the phone? Fight back, Teresa.

Fight him!

Hey, cops, you listening?

Andrew, what are you doing here?

I told you to be honest, I'm good. Is the ambulance here?

You see it?

We're looking for it.

This is Holden McKay's house. Is he your suspect?

You know I can't answer that.

Is there anyone in the house?

We're waiting for more backup to get here before we knock.

How does Teresa sound?

I'd really be interested in meeting your source.

How would she sound?

How would you sound?

Not good.

You got a cigarette?

The last people I know still smokes.

Thanks.

So you're coming on that list.

What list?

The hundred things you want to do before you die list.

Everyone knows about the list, really.

Yeah, well, I guess I'm not as mysterious and unfathomable as I

You really are.

So, uh...

What happens if you finish the list before you die?

Well, I'm sure I'll be able to think of another hundred things to do.

I gotta make up one of those lists.

Yeah? How so?

I feel like I've been wasting time, need to catch up.

It's not a race.

You're sure?

Let me ask you something.

I mean, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but how much do reporters

make nowadays?

You want to know how I can afford a car like that?

Did you ever see those old ads in the magazines where the kid is holding up

enormous orange with the caption, this is a little orange?

My grandfather on my mother's side, Michael Little, he owned the Little

Company. Ah, so he made his bones selling oranges, huh?

No, actually, he made his bones selling his orchards in the valley and then

buying other orchards and selling those.

Did you ever read about how great L .A. was in the 40s?

How you could drive into the valley and smell the oranges?

Well, my granddad helped ruin all that.

So, you used your mother's maiden name, huh?

I took it after seeing my dad divorced.

What about your father? What does he do?

He invested.

Sadly, nobody told him that hookers, cigars, and the craps table wasn't the

place to keep all your money.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, Grandpa Little set up a whopping big trust fund

for his one and only granddaughter.

So why, unfortunately?

You don't really want to hear a rich girl whine, do you?

Not as much fun as you think.

You could get a citation for that.

What's up?

We had two males in the back watching TV.

No ambulance anywhere in the vicinity, but the SUV parked in front.

matches the suspect's car in the hijack.

Here we

go.

We're looking for Holden McKay.

Uh, he's not here.

Why don't we come in and look around?

Sure, okay.

We're looking for Holden McKay.

He's not here.

Why don't you come in and take a look around?

Uh, okay. Sure.

How about you turn

some lights on back there, Chief?

Uh, okay.

Hit the light.

All right. All right. Am I okay?

Clear.

Where is he?

Where's Holden?

Is he dead?

No. Is he dead?

What is that? What

you

got?

A phone? You been talking on a phone?

Hey, cops, you listening?

Huh? I'm listening to this.

Let him die on purpose.

No. Then why is he dead?

Because he got shot in the heart.

But you didn't try real hard, did you?

Did you?

The whole reason I do this is to keep people alive.

You got some kind of tape in here, something I can use on your wrist?

Ugh, in that drawer over there, yeah?

Drop it!

Now get me some tape.

They're out there.

Is this a movie studio?

Yeah. You work here?

Tonight wasn't supposed to go like this.

I figured Halloween and all, no one would pay any attention to some cowboys.

And I thought the watch shop would be an easy hit. You know, we'd just run in,

grab a handful of Rolexes and get the hell out.

The guy had guns everywhere. It was a damn firefight.

Sam and I came out to work in the movies to be stuntmen.

That's what I thought anyway, but you gotta know somebody, I guess.

Because I ain't no stuntman.

Sammy was a security guard here, and I was a janitor.

A janitor.

I could have been a janitor back in Tulsa.

Get up.

So why'd you become a paramedic?

What?

Said you did it to save people's lives.

I made a promise to someone.

Who?

A friend.

I won't even try to get out. This may be a fake cop car, but there ain't no door

locks on the inside.

Get down.

Don't try to speak. Your larynx is hurt.

Teresa, you sure you want to do this?

Yeah.

Hey, thank you.

For what?

For helping me on the phone.

I don't know how much help I was.

You took care of everything by yourself.

Yeah, well, you kept me focused. You gave me something to do.

I might have lost it if you hadn't been there.

You know, there's another unit coming.

You do not have to do this.

Yes, I do.

You have to.

Yeah.

Long story.

that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted, to understand than to

understood, to love than to be loved. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

How so?

Oh, David, please.

He's beautiful.

Don't pretend you haven't noticed.

She's very good at what she does. She's also a shark.

I wouldn't trust her if I were you. I don't trust her.

May I show you something?

What? Follow me.

Nice.

If he had any guts, he'd put it downstairs on the dining room table.

Yes, I have.

But I've also been thinking.

I'm always telling everyone how beautiful and sensitive

and wonderful my wife is.

And then I just saw you standing downstairs and I realized I've been

wrong person.

sleeping with that
