Previously on Diagnosis Murder... I'm going to die because you put me here.

murdered 52 people.

The ammo of a known aerial bomb.

You can see him down at the morgue, Ron. He was executed last night.

There's a bomber out there planting bombs and people are being killed, but

not the Sunnyview bomber.

That was Louis Sweeney, and he was executed for his crimes.

We have a bloody nail.

If we can match that to another blood sample, it's better than a fingerprint.

It is my blood.

I was in that building, and I have five million witnesses to prove it.

This is how Mark Sloan works.

This is how he killed my father.

Your brother thinks he's getting revenge for his father's death, but all he's

doing is killing innocent people. Like you did my father? When Louis Sweeney

a child, the city condemned the property where his dad's woodshop stood. His dad

stood the city off with a shotgun for four days, and he was killed.

Bastard is branding the city with his father's name. Hold it, Carter.

Thank you for finding that molding bit for us, Carly. We'd have never found it

without you.

Caitlin!

Everybody out of the hospital, right now!

We're in the hospital! Everybody out!

I was headed towards the ambulance when the building just... And there was fire

everywhere.

This is FBI Special Agent Ron Wagner.

There's been a bombing at Community General Hospital.

You need rescue units right away.

Help is already on the route. Please stay where you are.

It's not yours, Jess.

You're not bleeding.

What are you doing?

Trying to get these hinges out the door frames, Beth.

Jeez, what happened?

Where's your dad?

Not in here.

Oh.

Something concrete came down on Mr. Campbell.

I don't think he'll be complaining about the hospital food anymore.

Jeff, you want to give me a hand with these hinges or what?

Steve, how long has it been bleeding?

I tore it open trying to get the concrete off a camel. I thought I told

take it easy with those stitches.

You told me not to lay into volleyball.

All right, next time I'll be more specific.

Next time I'll get a real doctor to stitch me up.

A real doctor? The tall button is right over the bed. Why don't you buzz it and

see who comes?

Jeff.

Look, I tell you, this would be a lot easier if you'd let me help.

There's a thought that never occurred to me.

Look, I just got off of disciplinary probation, and I don't think that the

hospital administrators are going to be too pleased with me when they find out

that my only patient bled to death.

Well, you know all the administrators are dead.

You're obviously in shock.

Because the rational thing to do is to let me bandage that arm, and then we'll

worry about this door.

Jesse, my dad's out there.

Yeah, and if he were in here, he'd say the same thing that I'm saying.

Well, with him, you'd probably listen.

Like, I make you a deal. You sit down on that bed quietly.

I'll open this door, and then we'll bandage that wound.

Then we'll go find your dad.

Where am I?

Go to the light.

What light?

Who are you?

Go to the light.

I don't see any light.

What is this place?

Come on, Dr. Sloan. You mean you really don't know?

You're live on KCDM with Carter Sweeney.

Today, our topic is mass murderers, and we have with us one of the best, Dr.

Mark Sloan.

I'm not a murderer.

How many people died when Community General blew up?

Your sister planted those bombs.

It's always someone else, isn't it, Doctor?

I see it's going to be a wild hour, but before we listen to Dr. Sloan's

rationalizations, let's go to our first caller.

Mark, can you hear me?

Mark? Amanda?

Don't move.

Don't move.

What happened?

Caitlin Sweeney.

I saw her in the hall.

She did this.

Are you all right?

I have a little trouble focusing.

It's a mild concussion. How are you?

I feel like a building fell on my chest.

A building did fall on you.

Just stay still. Let me have a look at you.

Of course, you'll have to show he's in proof of insurance to fill out a few

forms for me.

I almost got it.

Come on.

Come on.

Well, I loosened it up for you.

The explosions occurred on the fifth floor. We've managed to contain the fire

and keep it from spreading. The lower floors have been evacuated. Survivors on

the upper floors are being airlifted off the roof.

Well, what about the people on the fifth floor? We're getting to them as soon as

we can. It doesn't look like it to me. Half the sixth floor is trapped on the

fifth, and I'm concerned that what's left of that can crush the fourth. So

just going to stand here and watch while the building falls? I want to reach any

survivors who may still be in there, but I also have to consider the safety of

my men.

We're going to go slowly and carefully for everyone's safety.

The longer we wait, the less chance anybody's still alive up there has.

It's a miracle you survived, Agent Wagner.

I like to think that means luck is on our side today.

You know, most people have started at the top and worked their way down.

Not if they had my mother.

They always put the rotten fruit on the top.

That's why you buy it first.

That's what you always say.

This isn't a market.

Well, it's the same principle.

By the time I was ten, I could remove the entire bottom row of oranges without

dropping one.

Isn't this a principle change if the oranges are the only thing keeping an

entire floor of the hospital from crashing down on you?

Just the stress level.

We're almost there.

Mrs. Travis would be proud.

Mrs. Travis was never proud.

That's why I became a doctor.

To impress your mother?

After four years of college.

Four years of medical school.

My graduation, she says to me, why couldn't you just open up a nice little

flower shop like your cousin Morty?

And you met Morty.

Now, what did you want to do with your life?

Jack.

Barbecue.

What's open?

Barbecue.

Little place, you know.

Saw it else on the floor.

All the dry roasted peanuts you could eat.

Yeah, peanuts.

And a dozen big screen TVs.

Giving game on every one.

Something to do when I retire, maybe.

Run a place that would be a second home for my friends.

Why shouldn't we go after our dreams now, huh?

It's nice if we get out of this thing we promised not to put off what we really

want.

Deal.

What's wrong?

You're going to be fine, honey.

Just try not to talk.

Relax. I'm pretty sure I have a broken collarbone.

And maybe some broken ribs.

You have to tell me the rest.

Mark.

Mark, we've known each other a long time.

We've never lied to each other.

And now would be a lousy time to start.

You do have a broken rib.

And?

Punctured the lung.

That's the pressure on my chest.

Every time you breathe, you're filling your chest cavity with air.

If that trapped air is not released soon, you are the lung for the collapse.

I could die in a second.

Help would be here long before that happens.

How can you be so sure?

I'm never going to let you die, Amanda.

I promise you that.

Let's go. Come on. Move it. Let's go. Let's go. Come on.

Come on, guys. We're out of here. Let's go.

What's happened?

We found an unexploded bomb in the rubble. No one goes in until it's

The bomb squad will handle it. I'll show it to them.

You can't go in there.

The bomb won't defuse itself.

You're an FBI agent. You're not a member of the bomb squad.

Not long ago, I deactivated a nuclear weapon. I think that qualifies. And

you were blasted to a fifth -floor window under the hood of a BMW.

You're in no shape to be playing with explosives.

In fact, you're in no shape to be standing. Well, just like you said, it's

lucky day.

I'm the only reason you're not strapped to a gurney on your way out of here.

That can change.

The person I care about most in the world is up there. I will get her out.

there's one unexploded bomb, there could be others. You setting one off won't

help her.

Now go back behind the lines or you're on the next ambulance to county

Trapped in the over here.

Stay

calm.

We're going to get you out of there. Susan.

Jesse. You okay?

Yes, but one man is trapped.

His leg is crushed between the elevator and the shaft.

His pulse is rapid and thready. All right, everybody out. Come on, one at a

time. Watch your head.

Next, come on.

Watch your back.

Keep going.

Watch your back.

It's okay.

Come on.

You got it.

Jesse, that cable could snap any second. Then I guess I better hurry. You don't

want me to make one of those I'm -a -doctor speeches, do you? I'm in enough

already.

Come on, you gotta get out of there.

All right, look, I'm gonna stop the bleeding. I'm gonna amputate his leg,

then I'm gonna get us out of here.

Tell me what I can do.

You can get those people out of here and bring back some help. I can't just

leave you here.

Look, Steve, somebody's gotta get those people out of here safely, and you need

to get to a hospital, preferably one that's not on fire. Don't worry, I'll

with them.

Do you really want me to make one of those I'm a nurse speeches?

You two deserve each other, you know that?

I know.

All right.

I'll be back.

Be careful.

What do you need, doctor?

Give me a tourniquet, 150 milligrams of ketamine on an IM needle, a number 20

blade, and a giggly saw.

Take shallow breaths.

Try to stay calm.

That's hard to do, looking at you hold that piece of scrap metal.

What's that?

A scalpel?

What are you going to use for a chest tube?

A drinking straw?

I wish we had one.

So you're going to cut me open with that piece of metal?

And you're going to shove that pipe into my chest?

Only as a last resort.

time is it i don't know eight oh my fight was at seven and i

i promised i promised cj that the nanny would take him to meet me at the airport

you get there just a moment

We're back with Dr. Mark Sloan, who's about to explain why he let my sister

up Community General Hospital.

I didn't know she was going to do it.

The brilliant Dr.

Sloan, who figured out every one of my moves, never considered that my sister

was a part of my bombing campaign.

I considered.

But you didn't act on it. There was no evidence.

You put her father on death row where he was executed.

Now you've put her beloved brother in prison.

Never occurred to you she might want vengeance?

I didn't realize how deep your family sickness ran.

I thought she was the one Sweeney who was not a psychopath.

Well, that's one explanation.

Here's another.

You wanted her to blow up that building.

Now, why would I want that? You gave Community General 30 years of dedicated

service, and how did they repay you?

They fired you.

Humiliated you. Took away your license to practice medicine.

Because of you. Yes, because of me. Because they believed me instead of

loyal friend and employee.

You were enraged.

I understood.

They turned on you, Dr. Sloan, and you hated them for it. I gave them.

Then you admit you did hate them.

I was angry.

But when I'm angry, unlike you, I don't go around killing people.

Now, I'm not responsible for this. The bombing of this place is a direct result

of your obsession with catching me.

Do you really think my sister would have blown this place up if you weren't in

it?

Somebody had to stop you.

My conscience is clear.

Well, if that's true... Why are we here?

Come on, hurry!

Jesse, get out.

Next time, I'm taking the stairs.

Speak.

Why didn't I see any of these guys in the building? There's a bomb inside.

They called out the rescue mission until it's defused.

I'm putting it back on.

I'm with you.

We're in our final segment with Dr. Mark Sloan.

In fact, I think it's safe to say that Dr. Sloan is in his final segment, too.

The air is running out.

The doctor is hallucinating.

And Amanda is dying right next to him.

But we still have time for one last call.

Caller, do you have a few last words for Dr. Sloan?

Help me, Mark.

Amanda? Who put this caller through?

What are you saying? You know it's all lies.

Damn crank calls. Can't we kill this line?

You couldn't have known that going after Carter would end up this way.

You should have. He's Mark Sloan, deductive genius.

He's smarter than everyone else. Didn't you know that?

No, I'm not. I'm a doctor.

I look at a problem, I make a diagnosis, I try to treat it. That's all.

Well, you heard it here first on KCDM.

Mark Sloan isn't as smart as you, or dare I say it, me.

I guess that's why so many people die today.

You know, you're no different from the disease.

I didn't make you. I'm not responsible for how your sickness spreads, but I can

do my best to stop it.

Now, I'm finished talking to you. I have work to do.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I'm going back in. I can't let you do that.

Try and stop me. Meet that tourist.

The bomb squad has removed one device, but there may be more.

If you run in there now, you could set off the explosives before they have a

chance to find and defuse them.

You're putting any possible survivors in there at risk.

There are survivors.

I made them a promise and I'm going to keep it. And I'm his armed backup. You

with him.

You're aiding and abetting the felony.

Defying the orders of a commander at an emergency scene is a criminal offense.

Then I guess you'll have to arrest me, Lieutenant Sloan.

You looking for a commendation, detective, a headline, or just a quick

promotion? I'm looking for my father, sir.

Jesse and Susan are alive. I don't know what happened to my dad and the man.

Let's go find out.

Order tonight on CBS.

What's happening?

What are you doing?

Put this over your head, and you run for that gap.

No! What do you mean, no? No way three of us are going to make it, but one of

can. Now, don't argue.

You go before that break closes. Stop being so Damaroic. We're all going or

we'll all die trying.

Somehow Captain Kirk sounded a lot more confident when he said it. You're a lot

prettier.

Jesse, choose it.

Over here.

I had to amputate his leg. Keep the tourniquet on.

He's going to need some morphine before that ketamine wears off.

I'm clear, boy.

What do you think you're doing? What's wrong with you?

Jeff, you've done everything you can. Go on, get out of here.

Not without Mark and Amanda.

All right.

Be careful. Watch your step.

Dad.

Dad,

hold on.

We're coming.

Come on, dear.

Dad.

You all right, Dad? They're alive.

Get some help down here.

You moved?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I think Mark put that there.

She's alive. She's breathing.

Mark, you saved her life.

We're going to need a soak down here.

All right.

What happened, Dad?

How'd you know the building was going to fall?

You mean you don't have her?

Who? Caitlin Sweeney. I saw her. She did this.

Well, then we better pray that we find her corpse in here.

And that she's still alive.

And she's still out there.

This is only the beginning.

to give it a try?

Oh, come on. Please don't leave a lady hanging. I'm all loaded with ammo and I

am ready to play.

Cowards.

You.

You.

And, uh... Yeah, you.

Bring me the money now!

I like that a lot. I feel my heart racing.

It's not all that I'd like to feel right now.

But first, smile for the camera.

Okay, let's see.

Simply fit input A to output B. That fits before you put your fingers and

everything like that. Wow.

Hi, Dad.

Aren't you getting tired of hanging around the house watching movies all

Exhausted. Maybe you could give me a hand down at work.

Yeah. You know, after four months of waiting for that hospital to reopen, my

brain needs a little sharpening. Good.

What do you got?

All right.

You can start with A to E.

A to E?

Well, I admit my records are not exactly in alphabetical order, but they will

be. Actually, they have to be. By Tuesday.

This is Tuesday.

Which is why I'm so glad to have your help. And just think how sharp your mind

will be tomorrow.

Caitlin Sweeney's out of hiding in a big way.

Where? Trinity Bank.

Six holdup this month. Eight people dead so far.

Up yourself, Ron.

Yeah. Soda?

No, thanks.

We got nothing on her.

No leads whatsoever.

Frankly, we could use your help.

The LAPD has assigned you to us until this is over.

Why didn't you bring us in before?

Well, bank robbery is a federal offense, and frankly, my superiors felt that

your judgment would be affected by a personal grudge.

You should try to blow up your girlfriend.

Well, I'm not so sure they know about my relationship with Amanda.

I'm sure they don't.

You hid it from them?

It never came up.

Caitlin has aligned herself with ROAR.

Roar? Yeah, Revolutionary Order for Armed Rebellion. Sounds like a comic

They don't have much of a sense of humor.

Roar believes that the government is now controlled by a conspiracy of foreign

powers. A United Nations shadow government.

Ah, you've read the literature.

I've watched the X -Files.

Roar's goal is to unite all the militant groups in the nation, from the Montana

militia to the KKK, under their umbrella, and to lead an armed rebellion

the government.

What's that got to do with robbing banks?

Armed rebellions aren't cheap.

Yeah, they're going to bring all the factions together by having the fattest

wallet. We know Caitlin Sweeney doesn't strike me as a radical revolutionary.

Maybe the appeal isn't philosophical.

This is their leader, Aaron Ving.

He's bounced around the Aryan nation, the Branch Davidians.

Texas Freedom Movement, any group that'll let them play with guns and

And this makes them irresistible to women?

Only women with a grudge against the government who like to blow things up.

You know, Caitlin just hated the city for killing her father, not the federal

government. I don't see a big intellectual leap between the two.

I gotta go. I was supposed to bring Amanda dinner two hours ago.

How's she feeling?

She's out of bed and cleaning up a perfectly clean house.

Sounds like she's almost back to normal again.

Yeah, thanks to her family and friends.

I won't take her away from that again.

She's not mad at me for that scar on her side, is she?

I think it's kind of sexy.

Let's not go there, Ron.

I think you're sexy, too.

Mark Sloan.

You're live on KCDM.

Excuse me?

Sorry.

Old habits are so hard to break.

What do you want, Carter?

Steamed vegetable.

Pay -per -view.

A window with a view. You have no idea how restrictive prison can be.

Oh, I forgot.

You do.

What do you want?

I'd like to go somewhere else now, please.

That's not possible.

Another prison will do.

One of those upscale ones where I can play chess with CEOs.

Maybe chat in the jacuzzi with a senator or two.

All I need is a little help from my friends to get there.

After what you've done to this city, what makes you think I'd want to help

do anything?

Because I'll give you my sister.

Ever since Silence of the Lambs, this is prison chic.

Such a cliche.

Do I really look like someone who could free himself with a paperclip and kill

you with a rubber band?

You look like someone who murdered 60 people.

You're not being objective.

No, I'm not.

It's Caitlin you should be angry with.

She's the one who did all this.

She's the one who put me in here.

I think she may be mentally ill.

Runs in the family.

We both loved our father, but it was Caitlin who carried that devotion too

Save it for the jury, Carter. That doesn't work with me.

Can you really live with all that death on your conscience?

It's not on mine.

And if more people die, and you know you could have done something to stop it,

what about then?

All I'm trying to do is help.

We've been in contact. I can lead you to her.

Do you expect me to believe you'd sell out your sister for better

accommodations? I'm doing it for her.

She needs help.

Vengeance is only an excuse for her. She gets off on the bloodshed.

And you don't.

Guard, what about you?

Most doctors try to distance themselves from death, but for you it's a hobby.

Why do you really spend every free moment wallowing in murder?

Is it the violence that thrills you?

Or is it the terror?

See you at the trial.

Next time...

Don't forget to bring the paper clips.

Good thing the new cardiac wing was nearly finished when the main building

up, or we wouldn't have a hospital to come back to. Yeah, we'd be forced to

continue sleeping in until noon, having more picnics in the park, making love

all night long.

You can't do that forever.

Like they don't have pills for that now?

Admit it. You're glad to be back. You have a hands -on role in shaping the New

York. I have a hands -on role with you? Yes.

We've got an emergency.

We're not even prepared to handle a paper cut yet, Steve.

Barbecue Bob's is going out of business.

Oh, my God.

What's Barbecue Bob's?

It's only the best barbecue place in Los Angeles.

Possibly the world.

Then why haven't you taken me there?

Why? Because I didn't know how serious we were.

I mean, I didn't want to give you the wrong idea.

You're getting all weepy about some dive?

You want barbecue?

Come back to Oklahoma.

I'll show you what it's really like.

You've got to forgive her. She does not know what she's talking about.

What happened?

Barbecue Bob is retiring. He's going to Florida.

He can't retire.

He's like the Pope of barbecue.

And Chief Justice, the spare ribs. That's a lifetime commitment.

We can't let this happen. It won't. We're going to stop it. How are we going

do that?

With money.

We're going to buy Barbecue Bob's and his secret recipe.

What, are you crazy?

What about that vow we made when we were trapped, remember?

We were going to go after our dreams now.

That wasn't a vow.

That was a conversation.

It's too late. We've already made an offer.

You got a call, too?

Terrible, isn't it?

Yeah. Why, the medical examiner came up with something during the autopsy on the

bank, Robert.

What's the mystery? The guy was shot.

Well, let's find out.

I'm Agent Wagner.

This is Lieutenant Sloan. What have you got for us?

Ants.

Oh, isn't it great to see you back on your feet?

What ants?

I mean, I'm glad to shoot a few bugs for a friend, but why not just use an

exterminator? Are you well enough to be working?

Ron, we're in a hospital.

And what better place could I be in if I'm not feeling well?

Besides, autopsies always pick me up.

Engaging the mind invigorates the body, you know. Well, what's so fascinating

about a routine gunshot wound?

Well, nothing, if that's all you're looking at.

But my esteemed colleague missed something.

Hmm? Well, you're the best, Amanda.

Mark, take a look at this.

Huh.

They look like bug bites.

Ant bites.

So anopsis invicta, to be exact.

And how does that help us?

They're also known as South American red fire ants, and they're not indigenous

to California.

Up until now, they could only be found in the southeast.

Florida, Alabama, Louisiana.

You could find them in fields, pastures, woodlands.

and entomologists have been monitoring them very closely because they pose a

dire threat to agriculture and livestock.

Take a look.

So you're saying Roar is based out of state?

No, they're here in California, somewhere in Kern County.

Yeah, two months ago, the Department of Agriculture discovered a colony of red

fire ants in Lost Hills.

If we can isolate the latest outbreak of red fire ants in Kern County, it could

help us pinpoint where Roar's hiding.

Well, the information will give you an edge when you go back to Carter.

No, I'm finished with him.

D .A. Burnside has agreed to Carter's terms.

He'll transfer him to a country club prison in return for his help capturing

sister. Doesn't Burnside realize that Carter is just manipulating us again?

Well, Burnside has no intention of honoring the deal. Once Caitlin's

Carter's going right back to the prison cell he's in right now. I'm telling you,

you're fools to be making any deals with him, and I don't want any part of it.

Hang on. Mark.

Mark. He'll only talk to you.

Look, if Carter Sweeney's telling the truth, This may be our best shot at

stopping Lord before they strike again. And if he's lying, you're walking

straight into whatever trap he's laying, and he's laying one. Okay, so we'll be

careful.

Besides, what can he possibly do to us from prison? I hate to say it, Dad, but

he's right.

You can't just walk away from an opportunity like this. Carter knows

Don't you see he's controlling everything? That's why you're the right

deal with him. You understand how he thinks.

They're worth both ways.

You're afraid of him, aren't you? You bet your boots I am.

know that everything you're going to tell me will be a lie.

The best lies have some element of truth.

Like your story, that you only investigate murders to help the police.

Well, I like to make sure people like you end up in here.

You mean the death chamber?

Strapped to a stainless steel gurney where you can watch them squirm as the

lethal injection enters their veins.

Where you can look into their eyes as their lives slip away.

That's the part you like, Beth.

That's the part all killers like best.

I won't be here to see you die, Carter. I don't even want to be here now.

You want to catch my sister, don't you? You've been jailed in here for six

months. How could you possibly know where Caitlin is or what she's doing?

She's been writing to me in code under another name through my lawyer.

I'd like to see those letters.

Sorry.

Haven't saved them.

Oh, how convenient.

One might even say premeditated.

Roar is buying weapons for the revolution.

To get everything on their shopping list, they need at least $100 million.

That kind of information won't get you a cell with a view.

Their compound is somewhere north of Los Angeles, where they use commercial

beehives for pollination, and the trout fishing is great.

What have beehives and trout fishing got to do with anything?

Well, I don't know exactly where they are, but she says they've been living

the land, eating trout every night.

And the bees? They're everywhere.

Roar is ready to blow up the world just to get rid of the bees.

You don't think I'll believe you if you just give me the location.

You know I like puzzles, so you're manufacturing one for me.

You think I'll believe you more if I find this place myself.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Don't you just love a mystery?

Okay, this is Kern County.

I talked to the Department of Fish and Game, and they say these are the streams

and the lakes where the trout are biting.

And these are the fields where the entomologists have already found red

colonies. What about bees?

Well, oftentimes commercial beehives are brought in from out of state to help

pollinate groves. Red fire ants were found on some of the hives in the earth

beneath them. That happened right about here, here, and up here.

Looks like half a dozen possible locations where all the elements

One of those is bound to be near vacant property that could be used as a

compound. Well, we can pinpoint a location in two hours.

I'll unload our anti -terrorist unit. You coming? Wouldn't miss it.

See you.

This is too easy.

Yeah, I know, but what other choice do we have? Well, just remember one thing.

When you get there, whatever you find will not be what it seems.

Steve, would you make sure that Ron keeps his head down?

Don't worry.

We're the good guys.

What do you know about this place?

Used as a mining camp 70, 80 years ago. Now it's a ghost town.

Just try not to become part of the population.

We're prepared for a fight. Right now we have the element of surprise on our

side. What makes you think that? We probably knew we were coming before we

Well, let's not keep them waiting.

Move in.

Did you hear that?

I heard a click. Did you hear a click?

Yeah, I heard a click.

It's not me.

Yeah.

How good are you at standing for long periods of time without moving?

I can learn.

Good, because if you so much as twitch, this ghost town's going to become a

crater.

I'll be right back.

Don't go anywhere.

Put it down.

Dread is TVS. Welcome home.

All right, Lieutenant.

On the north side as well.

There's no sign of Roar anywhere.

What do you call this?

A diversion.

Prison van was ambushed. Carter Sweeney has escaped.

I see.

So he fooled us again, just like your dad said he would.

It's not your fault, Ron.

Somehow I don't think the Bureau will see it that way.

What would you have done differently?

I wouldn't have stepped here.

You would have done exactly the same thing, and so would I. We couldn't

the evidence we had.

Yeah, Sweeney knew we couldn't.

How far back do you figure he's been playing us? From the moment he offered

give us his sister and bring down Roar. I think it goes back farther than that.

To the bank robbery.

When the Rohr soldier got killed when his gun jammed. Yeah.

And the man that found that corpse with the bites from the red ants.

Just like the ants that are crawling up my leg right now.

You mean that leg right there? Yeah.

The leg that's attached to the foot that's on top of the trigger that leads

this massive bomb.

That's got to be uncomfortable.

So you think the Rohr soldier got the ant bites when he wired this place with

explosives? and Caitlin deliberately jammed his gun so he'd be killed.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

You know, if I were you, I'd be thinking about those red ants crawling up my leg

and that trigger under my shoe.

Lieutenant Sloan, can we talk a minute?

Excuse me.

We're all set here.

Ruby.

How was that?

Oh, nothing. It's good news, Ron. You can step off the trigger now.

Is that so?

Well, so I'm told.

Yeah, what's going to happen when I step off the trigger?

Hopefully nothing.

You're not sure?

Oh, no, I'm pretty sure. But they're not sure.

They're not sure?

Now everybody's sure.

See, Ron, why don't you go clean up a little bit? It's a long ride back to L

in a small car.

I can't believe we have a shot buying this place.

I thought it was barbecue.

What? It was until Bob remarried. Mrs. Bob made some changes. Yeah, she ran it

into the ground in six months. That's why we got it so cheap.

Oh, this is it.

Yeah, you can almost feel the peanut shells under my feet.

All right, gentlemen, a little silence. This is a very solemn moment.

This isn't exactly what I expected. It's unbelievable.

Oh, yeah.

You know, from what you guys led me to believe, I thought it would be

something... Horrible.

Yeah, but this is an abomination.

Are you saying you don't like this? Oh, it's so sterile. Do you feel the crunch

under your feet, or do your hands stick to the tables when you touch them?

No, why, should they?

I don't know what to do.

I do.

Weep.

Dad, I'm sorry we dragged you all the way down here.

Gentlemen, look at it this way. There's a 14 -screen movie theater opening up

down the block.

There's going to be a lot of hungry people hanging around here.

I think they're going to like this place as much as I do.

Thanks, Dad, but when we asked you down here, it was for more than just advice.

We were going to hit you up for a loan, down payment, starting costs.

So hit me.

No, this isn't our frame.

How can we ask you for money when we're not convinced we can make this place

work?

Damn, Jesse.

Thanks, Dad, but we just couldn't. No, really. I tell you, I insist.

Just tell me how much you need.

What's it ate?

Hey, welcome to the all -new Barbecue Bob's. I'm sorry, sir, but we are not

quite open for business yet. Nope.

The Carter Sweeney is.

The United Nations shadow government wants you to believe that I am a serial

bomber, a mass murderer.

and the greatest threat to national security since the CIA introduced AIDS

crack to our cities.

Why?

Because I know too much.

I found out why the so -called traffic helicopters never stop circling over Los

Angeles.

How many times are you going to watch this, Sam, until I understand it? Well,

understand it. He's nuts.

Yeah, since when?

Blew up half of Los Angeles to write his father's name across the city in map

dots.

He's smart, and he's patient, and he's methodical. This is gibberish.

They sold Hong Kong to the communists.

Six months later, Pakistan has the bomb, half of Florida burns, and Mercedes

buys Chrysler.

Coincidence?

They'd like you to think so.

Maybe he's just cracked.

He couldn't stand losing to you. You're right about one thing. He cannot stand

losing.

Why invent Viagra?

How else can they get you to swallow their mind -controlled drugs?

That's an act.

Well, if he doesn't believe it, why send this to the media? Why not just leave

the country and disappear?

One thing I learned about Carter Sweeney, whatever he does is always a

larger plan.

If you're right, let's hope this time it doesn't involve you.

Oh, I'll say.

I've already been the victim of one evil conspiracy today.

You and Jesse set me up outside Barbecue Mom's.

Well, I admit we exaggerated our disappointment a little. Oh, and maybe

seen the place twice before this week.

Nothing like a chatty realtor.

He dropped some papers off here. Told me about how you and Jesse loved the space

first time he saw it. All right, if you want your money back.

No, no, no, you're not getting off that easy.

What do you want, a half day's interest?

I want to be a partner.

It's not a loan, it's an investment.

Look, the way you guys can sell, I want a piece of that action.

Well, you got it, partner.

And all the ribs you can eat. Great.

Where are you going? I promised Jesse I'd meet him down at Bob's to discuss a

menu. He's got this ridiculous idea of serving salads.

That's a good idea.

Hey, you're a silent partner.

Ding dong, drawer calling.

What do you want?

It's not what I want. It's just what happens.

We're like matter and anti -matter.

Whenever we get too close, somebody dies.

My father, all those people at your hospital, your son. No.

No?

That's not what Carter sent you here for.

Are you so sure?

Maybe I don't always do what my brother says. Maybe sometimes I get to do what I

want.

All right.

Go ahead and shoot us both. I'm sure Carter won't mind at all.

Money the way things work out, isn't it?

You don't have to have a paper clip and a rubber band.

That's what I love about you, Mark. You're resourceful.

Always thinking. Did I mention how impressed I was with how you saved

life?

MacGyver would be proud.

You killed a lot of innocent people.

Not enough.

You and your friends are still alive. Oh, let's let bygones be bygones. It'll

only get in the way of our working relationship.

Your bombings and your bank robberies killed dozens of people.

You went after my own family, and you expect me to help you?

I know you will.

The neighbor saw a black van pull away.

We got a partial plate, but it's probably stolen.

What good is that? We know who did this. Yeah, but we don't know where they are

right now.

I doubt they dropped a room key.

You should know better than any of us where a grain of sand or a drop of grief

could lead us. By then, my father could be dead.

If Carter wanted to kill him, he could have done it right here. He wants him

alive. Well, then why did he blow up the hospital with Mark in it? Well, he

didn't. Caitlin did.

This has always been personal for Carter.

He needs to prove to himself that he's smarter than Mark. No, he needs to prove

it to Mark, and it's no fun unless he can see Mark lose.

My dad won't lose.

Carter's no match for him. We better hope not, because right now that's the

thing that's keeping Mark alive.

So Carter didn't break out of prison to run. There's something he wants to do,

and if he gets away with it, he beats Mark.

Look, whatever the hell it is, we're going to make sure that Carter Sweeney

fails.

Have you decided to join our merry band of ropes?

No. I really need your wisdom and advice.

Think how much we could accomplish if we worked together.

Never. Uh -oh.

That's not good.

Isn't there anything I can say that'll make you change your mind?

What if I told you we offer health benefits?

Well, my sister is outside this restaurant right now.

Do it.

I wonder how many people were in that place.

It's not lunch yet.

Fried foods aren't as popular as they once were, but then again, they did just

introduce a tasty new rotisserie chicken.

How could you do that?

I didn't.

You did.

This place is next, unless you help us.

Personally, I'm hoping you hold out for a while. I love watching things blow up.

I won't help you hurt anyone.

Well, that's entirely up to you.

Work with us, and you can start saving lives right now.

What do you want me to do?

I need $100 million in four days, and you're going to figure out how to get

How about a ransom demand?

No offense, but you're not worth it.

It also shifts the advantage to the police. It brings us to them.

That's why nine out of ten kidnappers get caught picking up the money.

Now, that would not have occurred to me.

You know, you're a smart man. You don't need me to do your thinking for you.

You've run out of clever ideas.

Besides, I love watching you work. I always learn so much.

Why do we only have four days?

Well, it makes it more of a challenge, wouldn't you say?

It also matches your father's bombing pattern, doesn't it? I'm a sentimental

guy.

I'll do it.

The last I heard you were off homicide temporarily assigned to me in the roar

investigation. I still am then what are you doing here?

Same thing you were. He was giving me a ride, Steve. He was in the morgue when I

got paid. The morgue did this. Why?

Well, take a look around, Ron. The place was bombed. Yeah, so what?

So Caitlyn Sweeney blew up Community General, remember?

Because we were in it. Since then, they've been robbing banks.

It appears to be the same kind of explosive device that she used.

A device so common and simple than anybody with a modem, a grudge, and an

address to a hardware store can make. Carter Sweeney terrorized the city with

serial bombs.

A week after he escapes from jail, it happens again?

His bombings were part of a pattern, which he completed. His bombs dispersed

wide shrapnel spray of flathead brass screws. Do you see any evidence of that

here? So maybe he's got a new pattern. How do we know it wasn't a disgruntled

employee? A customer who got salmonella or... It happened less than 12 hours

after my father was kidnapped. Well, so did a car accident at the corner of

Santa Monica and La Cienega. Are you going to go investigate that, too? If

help me find my father, you bet I am. Steve, we all... I don't want to find

just as badly as you do, but you can't go to every crime scene in this city on

the slim hope that it's all related.

That's exactly what I intended.

I don't understand what he's doing here. I enjoy his company.

He killed our father. Have you forgotten that?

No.

I'm making him commit a crime. It goes against everything he believes.

Just imagine his pain.

I'd rather see it.

If I slit his throat right now, we could still accomplish what we want.

Not what I want.

Our father didn't die from that lethal injection.

He withered away in a tiny cell, cancer eating his flesh, boredom decaying his

mind. I'm killing Dr.

Sloan from the inside.

A bullet in the brain kills from the inside, too.

He's a collaborator.

He's working with the occupying forces of the shadow government.

Well, that makes him useful to us. Think of all the secrets he can reveal.

We should put his back to the wall and execute him.

As an example to the other collaborators.

All right, I think I know how to do it.

I knew you would.

How much cash do you have?

Ten million dollars.

He's going to need all of it. Of course he wants all of it. It's a trick. He

wants to back up the revolution.

You need money to make money.

Think of it as your working capital. Besides, it'll never be out of your

I'm intrigued, doctor.

What else will you need?

I'll need 500 pounds of plain paper stock.

A truckload. Solid steel plating. Some acetylene torches.

About 20 gallons of industrial black paint.

And some spray guns. That'll get us started.

Thanks.

What am I doing here?

This place rents picture cars to the studios.

Fake ambulances, fire engines, things like that. Last night, somebody stole a

phony armored car.

Call me when somebody steals a real one. Roar did this.

Look, I know you're desperate to find your father.

So am I. This is not the way to do it. It's the only way to do it. We gotta

chase every lead that comes up. Yeah, every lead. Not every crime that occurs

L .A.

Look, we found that black truck.

It was torched in a vacant lot.

And we're doing a door -to -door in the area for witnesses. Maybe that way we

can come up with a real lead.

Look at this.

Sloan Medical.

The guy that owns this place has been my father's patient for 30 years.

You're reaching, Steve. Anybody could have stolen that truck.

Come on, Ron. There's a Mercedes over there, a couple of limos, a Batmobile.

Why steal a phony armored car?

Wouldn't it make more sense to steal something more easily stripped than

Think about it.

There must be 50 picture car companies in L .A. Why strike this one?

Because somehow, someway, my father sent them here.

See, that's it. You're losing. I've got to take you off the case. Ron, you can't

do that. You're not leaving me any choice.

I think it was bad enough when he started linking every purse snatching to

Now you've got Mark getting him to send a secret message. You know how

resourceful my father can be. Yeah, if he isn't dead already.

Look, at the very least, he's their prisoner.

How much influence can he possibly exert on them? The LAPD uses this company's

vehicles for stakeouts and undercover assignments.

My father knew that.

Somehow he got them here. He sent us this message.

This could be our last chance to save him, Ron. Please, don't let it go by.

How many times have I argued with Mark and been wrong?

I've lost count.

Yeah, me too.

I'm beginning to feel stupid.

Maybe some of his intuition is starting to rub off on you.

Okay, um, you start by coming up with a reason what the hell you want with a

phony armored car.

Or maybe they got tired of stealing money and decided to let people just

to them.

I'm going to start by seeing who moves a lot of money around this city.

All right, you do that.

What are you going to do? I'm going to get a forensics team in here, see if I

can find something to confirm your suspicion.

Thanks for the ringing vote of confidence.

Don't mention it.

I feel like Santa watching over his elves.

I never thought of St. Nicholas as a deranged psychopath before.

You really think he slides down all those chimneys for the milk and cookies?

If people wanted him in their house, they'd unlock the front door.

He's a fat pedophile who hides out in the North Pole where we have no

extradition treaty.

And there's no one there to enforce one if we did.

Is there anyone or anything that you don't hate?

Oh, admit it. You're having fun. That's what's really bothering you.

You forced me into this. Oh, come on.

How often do you get to mastermind the theft of $100 million?

You're getting no pleasure from this.

Of course you are.

You better tell your people to hurry up. We're three hours behind schedule right

now. Oh, you expect.

They're revolutionaries, not craftsmen. Most of them aren't even high school

graduates.

It's a good thing you don't need to read an instruction manual to use a gun.

If you have so little respect for them, what are you doing here?

I believe fervently in their cause.

Right, thanks.

I called the Federal Reserve. Ask them who moves a lot of money around L .A.

Who does? They do.

As a matter of fact, this afternoon they're taking $100 million in old cash

to their Palmdale facility to be burned.

Well, we'll be there when the armored car arrives, and I'll arrange for an

escort to Palmdale.

Just like that, huh?

No questions, no doubts?

I have faith in your professional judgment.

Uh -huh.

You found something good at that picture car place, didn't you?

Caitlin Sweeney's fingerprint.

Oh, that is good.

Let me see some ID.

I'll take care of it.

Armored car checks out.

Yeah, so do the drivers.

That doesn't mean war won't try to hijack them on the way.

Stick close to the armored car and make sure you don't leave until every dollar

is burned. You got it, sir.

What's the next likely target? Stadium. Receipts for today's game.

All right, let's go.

You're going to love this.

They were boxed in by two vans on the side of the road. Guy in the lead van

aimed a rocket launcher at them. Made them drive in here.

Then the robbers put hoods over the guards' heads, bound them and gagged

left them on the floor.

How much did they take?

That's the best part.

The morons robbed an empty armored car.

They got away with nothing.

Not exactly.

They stripped the bin tag off the dash.

It's a big score.

Else empty out the ashtrays. Look at the guards.

Where are their I .D. badges?

They were on their way to the Federal Reserve, weren't they?

The morons got them going the wrong direction.

Damn.

Right back.

Yeah, this is Wagner. Where are you?

Palmdale. Delivery went without incident. The armored car left a half

Where's the money?

Going up in flames, sir. Are you sure?

Yeah, we're watching them do it. Just like you ordered.

They burning it? Yeah.

It's Lieutenant Sloan. Stop him.

Don't let him burn another dollar. We're on the way.

But how?

We saw the truck being loaded with the cash.

They were in our sight the whole way here, and they left here empty.

It's a fake armored car.

Somehow they managed to switch the money in transit.

The press is going to love this.

Roar steals $100 million under FBI escort.

My escort.

And if we called 10 minutes later, we never would have been able to prove it.

The only evidence would have burned.

Nice career while it lasted.

This was slick.

Yeah, too slick.

Deficient, bloodless, almost undetectable.

It's not Rohrer's style at all, or Sweeney's. They like to shoot things up,

a big show of it.

But if my dad were going to steal $100 million, I bet this is just how he'd do

it.

Dave got shock jock Howard Stern tonight on CBS.

Now do you see why we needed the good doctor? I could never have come up with

something this clever.

Steal a phony armored car, retrofit it with false walls, fill the hidden spaces

with fake cash, and then switch the counterfeit with the real money.

Showing up with a better reserve and just taking it would have been a lot

easier. And bloodier and riskier. We're not cowards.

Be that as it may, he came through for us, just like I said before. We lost our

10 million.

Just like I said he would.

Let me explain the mathematics to you.

We made a profit of 90 million dollars. That's nearly ten times what we had.

We'll tell that to Otto Bertson.

Who? Our comrade.

The soldier who died in the bank for that money?

When the new order takes over, you can build him a statue.

This was a victory. The day of wrath is almost here.

It's already here.

For him.

We're going to execute the traitor right now.

Go for it. I'm more useful to you alive than dead.

You were.

Over there.

Fine.

Here we'll do.

I want to confess.

I've been collaborating with the UN shadow government.

And I would like to admit it.

Publicly. You're going to be famous, Mark.

The first member of the corrupt intellectual elite to admit the

global conspiracy.

It's almost worth keeping you alive for.

You'll tell the American people how the shadow government is conspiring to steal

their liberty.

I'm sure Mark knows what to say.

Black helicopters, alien autopsies, liberals, that kind of thing. Isn't that

just... Yeah, and then you'll sneak in a few words that won't mean anything to

me or my comrades.

But he'll tell your son all the information he needs to track us down.

Something about that doesn't feel good.

That's why you'll be reading from a script that Ving, our resident

philosopher, has written for you. If I'm reading from a cue card, they're going

to know right away it's not an honest confession.

Then you better work on your delivery.

America is called a free... pastry?

Just a moment.

America is called a free country.

But that freedom is alive.

Your lives are controlled by a secret elite that is working to take away those

last few rights you have left. I know because I am a part of that elite.

This was delivered to every TV and radio station in the area. It's already hit

the networks. I can't believe this. Neither will anyone else.

We took away your jobs and sent them overseas.

We taxed you until you have barely enough money left to survive.

We limited your access to weapons by enforcing long waiting periods and

background checks.

Now we know Mark's alive.

Or he was.

Don't worry. With the amount of attention this tape's going to get,

him around for a sequel. Sex and violence and foul language.

And we ordered our federal stormtroopers to smash any patriot brave enough to

question what we were doing.

I've watched this thing a dozen times and I still can't see it. See what?

The message.

That's pretty clear. Government is bad.

If Dad thought that this tape was going to be released to the media, he would

have slipped in something that only we would understand.

Yeah, but he couldn't this time.

Listen.

Throughout our history, a few brave souls have tried to tell you the truth.

Jim Jones, David Koresh.

You know the other names.

But we in the elite have silenced him.

That's not the way Mark speaks.

He's obviously reading from a prepared speech.

Yeah, and judging by the way he keeps looking to the left, I'd say he's

off cue cards.

Because you let us. Wait a minute.

How fast can you get this tape enhanced?

Tell me what we're looking at. I'll let you know. My father has presbyopia.

He needs glasses to read what's right in front of his face.

So why is he wearing glasses to read cards that someone's holding up across

room? There's something there he wants us to see.

We're so close.

I don't think it's possible to get any closer than we have.

But it might be fun to try.

I mean, to the revolution.

To the new world order.

Today, we have the money.

Soon, we will have the weapons.

And the next century can be ours.

So why am I the only one who still feels like someone?

You know how I feel about you.

The revolution is more important than anything that exists between a man and a

woman. Or a brother and a sister.

What are you talking about?

Your brother's a threat to the New World Order. He's risking everything just to

play with that pathetic old man. Carter used him to get $90 million. We didn't

need Carter for that.

We don't need him for anything.

The only reason he's free and alive is you.

How many banks over how many years have we had to rob to get that amount of

money?

How many of our comrades would have died in the struggle? Carter did it in one

day, and not a single soldier had to sacrifice his life. The struggle and the

sacrifice. is what the revolution is all about. Each battle would have

strengthened our resolve and awakened the populace to our cause.

I killed the revolution before it even started.

Do you trust me?

Yeah.

Can you be sure?

I could have killed you the moment my brother was free.

I could have killed you any time. You know why I didn't?

Because I am yours.

Say the word and I'll give you my life right now.

Say the word, I'll give you my brother's.

Going somewhere?

The others in the movement are gathering in Utah for us.

You're leaving in 20 minutes with half the cash.

I'll follow tomorrow after I've wiped out any trace of his here. You expect me

to drive a truck loaded with 50 million in stolen cash across two state borders?

I can't risk losing all the money. It would get caught in a firefight along

way. What if I'm stopped?

Did you think of that?

I'm a wanted fugitive.

My face has been all over television.

I won't do it.

You will do what I tell you to do. And if it means dying for war, then you will

do it gladly or you will do it right here.

I want you to do something for me.

You may be my brother, but Aaron Ving is my leader.

And your orders are to move that money to Utah.

And my orders are to go with you and make sure you do as you're told.

Can't imagine why the government hasn't fallen yet.

Some people you should never take hostage. If you want to hurt Mark Sloan,

better put a bullet in his head. Otherwise, he will find a way to make

miserable. You found something on a video. Exactly where you said it would

in the reflection on your father's glasses. I could see the camcorder.

And the light. What's this?

Exactly what I wanted.

So we enhanced the video a little bit.

Can't jamocha me. Problem is, we can't find any such place.

That's because it went under 30 years ago. It's up by Big Bear. Looks like

they're holding Dad in the old dance hall.

How can you tell?

Because you never forget where you got your first kiss. I got mine right

that window. We could be up there by chopper in 20 minutes.

It's been a thrill working with you.

I can't tell you how impressed I am with your ingenuity.

If it was all that ingenious, I would have figured out a way to escape by now.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You made a complex robbery seem easy.

But what's truly amazing is how well you can improvise.

I especially like the way you used your glasses to capture the reflection of

Camp Chamokami. You knew about that?

And let me say, I was mighty impressed. Very quick thinking.

Then why did you let me get away with it?

The bank robbery, that was the whole point, wasn't it?

Roars just to cover.

They don't know that, do they?

They think George Washington was named after the state.

They're going to take the fall for everything.

That's why you left them half the money.

You want the police to come here. You want a bloody shootout. No, a shootout

really isn't going to cut it.

That's why I've wired the entire place to blow up once the police storm in.

The whole place is booby -trapped with explosives?

No, I had to do something to keep myself occupied while they were robbing banks.

So they'll die in the explosion, and the money will burn, except for you and

your $15 million.

You're going to get away with everything.

It's so hard to relax, even on a tropical beach with millions in the

you're an international fugitive.

This should cut down on the stress.

What's to stop me from telling?

Nothing at all.

Don't spare a single detail.

I'm sure he'll believe whatever the oracle of the shadow government has to

Time to go.

Our chaise lounges are waiting.

Goodbye, Doctor.

Don't spend it all in one place.

They've set you up.

They've wired the whole place with explosives. They want you to die in a

shootout with the police.

Hey, get the video camera.

I want the whole world to see your execution.

Inside.

Inside.

How do you want to

play this?

It's your operation. It's your father.

Go at least around the place.

Make sure they're not expecting it.

And then hit them hard and fast.

Let's go.

Turn around.

You're doing exactly what the Sweeneys want you to do.

Don't you understand? The Sweeneys never shared your beliefs.

They've been using it.

Well, you got that backwards, Pops.

I was using them.

I got the girl and the hundred million.

The Sweeneys got away with half of it. What you have is going to burn with the

rest of us.

You're going to die so they can sip margaritas on some island somewhere.

Is the camera ready?

Yes, sir.

Let's do it.

You have been found guilty of collaborating with the occupying forces

United Nations shadow government. The penalty is death.

Move in.

Keep the camera on. Still rolling.

This is where we make our dead history.

We'll mark this as the battle that began the war.

Nobody's going to know what happened here today. You'll all be dead.

Then we'll be martyrs. You'll be silenced.

Bing, we both know the media is controlled by the global Uber

So you admit it exists.

Are you getting all this? Yes, Rowan.

The people will never know what happened here today.

Once again, the truth will be suppressed.

The conspiracy will continue, Bing.

There's a way to beat them.

How?

Let them arrest you. That way there has to be a trial.

That means daily gavel -to -gabble coverage on Court TV.

No martyr ever got on the Larry King show.

Beat fire!

Drop your weapons!

We're surrendering.

I will execute anyone who disobeys me.

No, Steve, don't.

Steve! Stay back.

Dad! I'm all right.

Keep your men outside.

The whole place is wired to explode.

Steve,

Roar's going to lay down their weapons. They're going to surrender.

Hold it.

And keep the tension on it or we're all going to die.

I'm going to open the door now.

Be very careful. I'm sure there are more booby traps.

I knew you'd find me.

Maybe you'd tell me how.

Where are the Sweeneys?

They left in a rental truck about an hour ago.

We're close to three freeways, two airports, a thousand garages and

They could be anywhere by now. Well, they shouldn't be too hard to find.

Found him two miles up the road, hitchhiking, looking for someone to

The pockets were stuffed with ash.

How did you do it?

Well, as you were leaving, I shoved some of your money up your tailpipe.

You get caught fire or something.

That's it.

Just a spur -of -the -moment thing.

Well, luck's as good as brains as long as it lasts.

I'll remember that.

we can get to find a high -security prison for him.

In less than two minutes, you will be tasting the best ribs this side of

City. You said that an hour ago.

And I meant it, until I noticed that Steve forgot to turn on the oven.

Is it too late to get my money back?

Don't worry about it. Tomorrow, we're going to interview some professional

chefs. Oh, I was wondering how you two were going to run this place and keep

your day jobs.

Yeah, we're going to leave it all to the pros, except the sauce. That will

remain our secret. Have I told you about the sauce?

It'll char the taste buds off my tongue and sear the lining of my stomach.

I think you told her.

He also told me not to eat all day, so I'd have a really big appetite.

Good news, it worked. Everything's under control. Really well.

I'm going to go check on the ribs.

Nice place.

Yeah, it's nice.

It's good when people get what they want.

It's great when people get what they've always wanted.

And they find out that they still want it.

I have something to tell you.

Me too.

Okay, you first.

You go.

No, ladies first. Amanda.

Okay.

You know, these past few months and...

everything that's happened. I... I just want to let you know I love you.

And I really was happy in Virginia. I just want you to know that.

That this is your home.

Yeah, and I never realized that until I nearly lost it all. And besides, you and

I, we do really well with this long -distance thing, don't we? Yeah, we're

So tell me what you were going to tell me.

Well, it's not important.

Yes, it is. I want to know what it is.

I've been reassigned to this really high -profile post. It's the FBI liaison to

Interpol's Worldwide Terrorism Unit.

That's great.

The assignment's for six months.

In London.

London?

You persuade me to go to Virginia knowing full well that you'd spend six

in Europe?

But you're moving back here.

Did you know that when you accepted the offer?

Well... So typical, you know.

You know, I can think of only one thing to say to you right now.

What's that?

I'll be waiting for you to come back.

Ladies and gentlemen, new management of Barbecue Bob's is proud to announce that

dinner is served.

Careful, Dad. Those are the spicy ones.

I'll get you some water.

Ice water?

Maybe just the ice.

You don't look too good. Breathe, Dad. Just breathe. You'll be fine.
