Tonight, on Spencer behind. Keep this punk alive.

If you had any involvement in a left-wing group called the Liberty Brigade...

I ain't nothin but a sham front for bounty hunters.

I'm gonna find George for lunch. I won't be stopped. Early bird catches the worm.

Give the men a cigar. If your public image will get better

when you start caring about people's lives. Ugh! It's not much.

You won't find the money. You walk right into it. Devilman!

Hey!

Yeah!

Keep this punk alive.

Where's Partlin? Partlin!

How dare you stop that? It looked like trouble. I was just trying to help.

Help. Help. Get us killed.

Thank you for taking your ride, Dr. Where's that ambulance?

You know, some days it paced over sleep. Today was one of them.

Today I've been paid to handle $1 million in ransom money.

I didn't think my client would be pleased with the results.

Neither would her husband. He was the one supposedly worth a million dollars.

My name is George Villard. I am Executive

Vice President of Overdine.

I'm being held by a group that calls itself.

Deliberate Brigade.

They insist that overnight dismantle all our

offshore oil rigs in Samaritas and refrain

from any further business in that country.

This is not done, I will be killed.

It will return me unharmed upon receipt of $1 million in

cash at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Estlanaat.

Otherwise, I will be killed.

I repeat, if both demands aren't met. Watching this sober and over again

is not going to make matters any better, Mrs. Vellan. It's not over yet.

We just lost the first round.

What happened out there, Spencer?

I thought overdine in the police had it worked out. Lodge of logistics.

Sometimes I just don't pair up. What about the man you wounded?

Has he said anything yet? The doctor's still working on it. Mother?

So what do we do now?

I know it's difficult.

But all it can do is wait.

Monica!

Overdined is a European-based financial octopus,

tentacles around the world, oil and sandmaritas,

gold futures in South Africa, and chemical factories

in every third world country pour enough

to accept the risk.

Overdine may be popular with their stockholders

in the international banking set, but to

human rights groups around the globe, their corporate plague.

I don't like it either, Frank.

But the insurance team has played with helmets and shin guards.

We're not authorized to take the same chances you are.

Take back your damn blood money, Bennett.

One call, the Wild London Office, not another million wired an hour.

And while I'm talking to London, I'll have them checking to the advisability

of working with other insurance companies in the future.

Wait a minute, Frank, we've had business. Will you be in touch?

You're not thinking of paying off these lunatics with our own money. Are you French?

What do you expect him to do, Paul?

Wait till they deliver George's body to our doorsteps. Liberty Brigade.

Corporate terrorists and knee-pants.

Their board college students looking for the attention

they never got at home, then I'm going to murder anybody.

We'll tarnish their grade point average.

Yeah, will you tell that to the cop who got his average

tarnished this morning on the Esplanade?

Do you know how to play this one, Hillary?

Temporarily shutting down oil rigs in San Maritas

is not going to help our public image when word gets out about this.

Adverse media recognition is going to flare up again.

Overdine's going to get another black eye

unless this kidnapping is dealt with and dealt with now.

Get the money from London, Frank. It's the only way.

Paul.

Call the lead bank. I'm advance the money.

Yes, Frank.

Do you have anything to wear, Spencer?

Talk about finances.

politics.

cosmetic profile of overdone.

You've overlooked one thing.

George Velard, I thought he was the reason we were here.

If your public image will get better when you start caring about people's lives.

Good idea, and a kid? Oh, yeah, yeah. His name was Dave Jones, 25 years old.

14 priors, three convictions. Assault assault with a deadly weapon on robbery.

Spent five and a last eight years behind bars. He's been out of it a month.

You must have been practicing this speech, right? I don't have to practice it.

I give it every day. I just change the names to make it fresh.

It doesn't sound like much of a kid, never. Well, then it doesn't sounded like much

of anything. Do you hear from the hospital? The kid out of emergency yet?

Listen, partly, and this was a routine operation, just like you brushing your teeth.

Spencer was supposed to transfer the money to the two men in a Jeep. Yeah.

You were supposed to stay on top of the parked personnel.

Who said we needed the cavalry to come to the rescue?

That was supposed be a secured area. I was listening to you, the FBI, and overdying.

Now somebody got their signals crossed up. It was a big operation. That's no excuse.

You're a chief of security at overdying, you're responsible.

Hey, what about the kid?

David Jones, age 25, died on the operating table 15 minutes ago.

where he went down this morning. Maybe he should have taken your cut of the chains,

bugged to a trade school, and invested in a new occupation.

They got an occupation of a natural born bullet. You know a guy named David Jones?

I know he's dead. I know you clipped him. I don't know what he did before I started.

from turning the S for not until the fall of Sygon.

If you had any involvement in a left wing group called the Liberty Brigade.

The only movement that ever interested David was money changing hands. Quick return.

Hit him when they ain't looking at stealing wallets.

Maybe hit him again for the fun of him.

You think he might be free to take a ride, Leonard? Free. Figure of speech.

You know my figure, babe. Working for a major corporation wouldn't

be against your principles. I got my principles invested in Swiss bank accounts.

How about you, Prince Valleon? Self-interest in lighten some blinds others.

Well then consider me enlightened.

Dorothy Marx is one serious lady.

She wouldn't know a joke if it came attached to the left track.

So don't be too cute or too funny. Can I be a glib? Second thought, stick with cute.

It does seem to be her to pursue. Oh yeah? Yeah? Yes.

I'm a giant like over there.

The excuse for being inside the readers is money.

They say that they're sinking millions into the economy.

They say they are giving a poor country needed capital,

but what they are really doing is supporting a corrupt regime.

Dorothy Marx, Spencer. Hello. Susan's already told you I'm here.

I need to know everything you can tell me about Sam Morita's in the Liberty Brigade.

Liberty Brigadier. Do you want to talk world events or make believe?

Look, I'm not here to discuss politics with you.

And I'm NOT saying you're a group at anything to do. You damn right, you know.

I've been the last two years in San Marida's on an exchange program.

That's a year longer than overdine's been there. I saw what that country was.

But it's become no one despises overdine more than I do. But kidnap is not my style.

I've never heard of the liberty of a gay, and if it

exists, you can believe I'd be the first to know.

We deal in peaceful resistance, not violent extortion.

The Liberty Brigade? I ain't nothing but a sham front for bounty hunters.

Are you always this unsure of yourself?

Susan and her homework I had mine.

After listening to 20 minutes of Dorothy Mark's polyeconomic

didactic, I no longer believed in the liberty of the game.

It wasn't an underground group of college students. It was people like Davey Jones.

If you consider Davey Johns, people. If I have a sponsor, the Matt Partle

will leave a novel up here for me.

You know, it's just like him. If you don't tell him, six times he forgets.

I'll just check and see if he left it on his desk. Hey, do you have clearance?

That's not good, it's from yesterday. OK, I'm gonna pick up yesterday's package.

George Vilard was still missing. Maybe he wouldn't be a mad parlour

and hadn't undermined the drop of. I couldn't get over the feeling that the movie

made had been deliberate. A breach, it's a security.

I was about to breach some security myself.

We're going overtime, Parlon. He's setting a good example for your man.

What are you doing here, Spencer?

My job is to try some time to make you feel real good.

I don't like you poking through my office.

Well, I like it either, but I couldn't sleep.

All day long, people have been pointing the finger at me,

accusing me of having something to do with this kidnapping. I'm sick of it.

Well, if you can't stand the heat.

I see you back here again. You'll want.

Oh, ow!

Oh!

Ha!

Huh?

Uh.

Find George for Lard. Now you can get my way or you can stay out of it.

You think about that tonight when you're painting on the

iodine? I won't be stopped.

Uh.

No matter how much I juggle them, the parts did not add up to a hole.

I had a terrorist group that didn't exist.

A security chief who needed suspenders and a belt to hold up his pants.

And I had kidnap victims whereabouts unknown. But I still had a client, Ellen Valar.

She was at my place with another videotape she'd just received.

for pains at $1 million. Being prepared

to deliver it within 24 hours. Alan.

That's what they done to me. Get the money.

Thanks.

What are you looking for? Ah, yeah, she's in my guilla.

Excuse me.

Sorry, I couldn't exist. What are these things? Can you give me a copy of these?

Sure. Those are international shipping orders for computer components.

But what on earth does that have to do with George's kidnapping?

I don't know. Maybe nothing.

But until we get a blowback, everyone on everything is suspect.

Somebody took him, not somebody had something to gain.

Such as?

Well, we knew what the kidnappers wanted to gain money. Who are the kidnapper's?

You tell me. Local losers, small-time crooks, I think somebody put them up to it.

And whom might that be?

Somebody who knew George Vallard, somebody knew what it was worth,

and who knew the people could afford to get him back.

Somebody here?

What did Vilar think of Matt Parlin?

Partling got his training as a sergeant in Vietnam.

He runs security here like it was the last outpost on the Maycon.

That and the fact that security is worse now than it ever was.

Never sat well with George. How so? Internal theft mostly.

Partling's people seem ineffectual. That speculation, Paul.

Nobody's ever proven anything.

But the fact still remains that somebody is picking us clean from the inside out.

About $25,000 worth of money. It may not even be this office.

It could be Paris or Chicago. Or Boston. What did Vellar do about it?

Oh, he argued for months with the board of directors.

They had too many other things on their minds. It's simply water cooler talk.

Nothing more.

What about you?

But did you have it again?

How could you even insinuate such a thing? I respect George, I've worked with him.

Both of you for that matter.

This is a cutthroat business.

Somebody be in line for a large job if you didn't come back.

I'm looking at two of the most likely candidates.

I lost out the George three years ago in this company.

You don't get a second chance.

If you think I had anything to do with it, sure I'm mistaken.

Mr. Spencer?

There's a call for you, Lieutenant Quirk. Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Thank you.

Marty?

You recognize him.

The other guy from the drop-off.

I thought you'd be interested.

What happened? His name is Art Nathen.

A couple of kids found a bobbin under the pier.

He had a small caliber hole right behind his left ear,

real intimate, like a whisper.

How'd it get here?

You drove himself.

He was probably smiling when he took the bullet. Might as I take a look. Please do.

Just make sure you keep your hands on your pocket. Go on about it.

What you got there, Spencer? Jeff from heaven, Frank. Jeff from Heaven. What is it?

It's holding order. Look in freight terminal. Do it'll be picked up tomorrow.

Give it here. Hey, haven't you ever heard finest keepers? Look at his weepers. Yeah.

I keep. You weep.

I spent the next two hours staring at the only tangible evidence I had

and found something out about audiovisual education.

You can see more if you don't listen.

And what I finally saw, I knew I'd seen before. Before I even heard a George Polar.

The museum of science. But at first, the tape, the only place

that could have gotten that shot was Boston sending gravel.

You know what we're getting into? Could be one man with Mr. Bernard, could be ten.

Well, it's just me and you today. I feel what happened after the Esplanade?

I don't want to get lost in the crowd. You and me are crowd all by ourselves, babe.

We've got a green trash can tied to your bumper ever since we left the firehouse.

I wonder when you were gonna mention that?

Let's take a walk. So going to cause you new pair of shoes.

What do you have? Forget

it, Farland. I have right to know what's going on.

Your right's ended yesterday in the Esplanade.

This has anything to do with the Polar. You're out of it. I'm here.

As they put this where you better stay.

Your choice.

[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪

It right on top of me. I couldn't get a clear shot.

Bravo.

I've never found him yet. No, but I found when they were holding him.

He just wasn't there anymore. Oh, no.

Have you heard anything of the contact of you again? Nothing.

I forget over the feeling that I was partially responsible for the

package that I've been delivered to the Vellar doorstep last night.

George wouldn't blame me. He was dead.

It was a living we have to continue with. The survivors. The ones who remember.

We'll never let you forget.

Remember this wasn't your fault? I know.

I didn't stop it.

I don't know anyone who's better at working with what he's got than you are.

But oughta be enough. It oughta to be, but sometimes it's just not.

How old did you say the girl was? She's around 14.

Glad you're here.

Thank you.

Come in.

This is Susan Silva. Thank

you for coming.

I'm sorry the way things turned out. I know.

Come in.

Excuse me.

I didn't expect to see Matt Partlin there.

I couldn't hear what he and Mrs. Bologna were saying,

but their body English was a language I was familiar with.

It made me uncomfortable, even

more than this condolence call.

See, you made it. Not even a scratch. Not what you've done us. I do blame you.

You had the weight and the influence to see that George got through this.

If you weren't so concerned with politics and corporate,

infighting and handed over the money my husband would be alive today.

George would be alive. Monica?

I know you're not supposed to talk to strangers.

But sometimes there are the only ones who can help.

I'm sorry about your father.

Did you know him?

And why did you say you were sorry?

It's only words, you don't mean it.

You're just like my mother. I do mean it. I'm sorry when anything bad happens.

It doesn't have to happen to me.

I'm sorry for you and your mother.

My mother.

such a hypocrite.

She's upset. Give her time. They were always fighting. That's all I can remember.

The screaming back and forth.

How can she stand under a halo now and pretend she's a saint? Pretend she loved him.

She's been through a lot. You both have.

Daddy moved out.

There's always hope we need come back.

I'll never come back.

This is the line.

Spencer.

We are all right.

and good hands.

Thank you for everything.

I'll have a check drawn up for you tomorrow. There's no hurry.

It's not over yet.

George is dead. The men are killed and are still out there. I don't care about them.

Bringing those men to justice will not bring George back.

I don't want you risking your life anymore.

I know it's a character flaw, but I can't seem to quit.

The rest is on the

house. Spencer.

I think you've got some friends who want to be with you.

That is no slander, sir, which is a truth.

Many words were spoken yesterday at the Valade home,

but only Monica seemed to be speaking the truth.

It was the first time I'd learned of any friction behind the Valar's bedroom doors.

It was also the first I'd thought about those

credit card receipts I'd found in Valar

's office.

Flores found the address quickly enough, but doesn't deliver it to the same house.

I figured whoever was getting the flowers was George Vellard's mistress.

I was prepared for that.

I wasn't prepared for who it was that opened the door.

We were lovers. Well, I don't mean two people just haven't in office the fair.

We were in love. He's going to

divorce his wife, wasn't he?

How'd you know that? When he moved out of his house. Did he come to you?

What does that matter now? What they all do you want?

You know I'm working for Ellen Valarde. Yes, I know that.

You don't have to answer these questions.

I've got to ask them leaving all their painful. Yes, they're painful.

I couldn't face those death masks yesterday. How's Alan doing? She's seen

every day.

It's pretty hard.

He was a good man.

who intelligent attracted women. All the same man.

You must have had.

Next minute!

Thanks, man.

Corners reports says that George Velard was dead for 24 hours

before they dumped his buddy on the front lawn.

I mean, he was already dead when Hawke and I had the building.

He was dead when the second video tape arrived. I never was the hostage situation.

It was murder. You know, to keep you pulled out of the river, I'd Nathan.

He used to work at overdone. What? Night man on security.

Partly in the second in command. At least he was still a drunk driving conviction.

Got him the boot. Partly.

You got a chance to run through those overdice shipment reports I gave you?

No, but Frank did. And nothing matches up.

Partlin's list is about 100 grand shy of the Lod's tally.

100 grand on accountant for it. We got a pretty good idea where it went.

Is it about time to take a spin on the Logan Freight terminal?

You want to come along for the ride, Spencer? I'll let you sit up front.

Well, thanks for driving. Makes me carsick.

Something Hillary Small said kept reminding

me of thoughts I've been trying to ignore.

Thoughts about the one other person who had something to gain.

It was the person who hired Alan Boulard.

a nice chat with a valar's attorney and then check with overdyne's business affairs.

If George Valar divorced his wife, she'd get

half the community property which was mortgage

to the hills.

If George Vallard died, she get all their property

plus $1.5 million of life insurance.

Who did this? The people who took George.

since overdine didn't pay that came to me.

George had a life in church policy, and they want what I'm supposed to get.

They said if they don't get it, they'll kill us. Monika, can we? Where is Monika?

I sent her to Chicago this afternoon. She's with my parents. Good. What else?

Well, I told her it would take months before I could get any of this money.

They want a down payment of $100,000 today. Spencer, what do I do?

We're really watching them. Who's that doc's Charlestown? What's that?

Three o'clock. I'm afraid to go. You're not going. I am.

You don't handle with a bag. I'm going to miss my flight.

I already told you I need proper ID, Mr. Nathan. Art? Nathan.

And I already Told you I left my license at home.

So just hand over the bag so I can get my connection to Dallas.

I need ID or the claim ticket, Mr... I lost the ticket.

And I don't have time to fight that traffic again. Just hand over with the bag.

I can't do it. I need properly right now. I'll take it.

I've just gotten the hold of some computer ship.

Went from your office and went from George Valar.

On dates with the same, but different numbers.

So somebody was skimming orders from behind over Dynes back.

These checks are made out to Art Nathan.

$3,000 and $5,000. That's a pretty good haul for an ex-employee, isn't it?

No, I don't think you're going anywhere just yet.

But when you do, it's going to be for a long, long time.

If I didn't kill Valard, but you did kill Nathan. Can't prove that. Yes, I can.

You were stealing company assets. You wanted insight and Nathan on the outside.

Valard knew it. That million dollar ransom scheme at a certain amount of style,

it's just too bad it didn't pay off.

The same gun you used to kill Nathan?

Get it on the wrong track. Run it!

Nice and easy.

You waiting on me?

You won't find the money. We got what we wanted.

You walked right into it with both eyes open.

He don't even have a gun.

What I'm carrying wouldn't fit in my pocket.

General!

Where were we?

He's not gone.

All right.

That's what I wanted!

day for us when.

I heard about Heartland on the radio. What happened? He tried to run from the cops.

It was a bad idea. And the man at the dogs? We had a nice reunion.

They were the same man from the gravel pit. What happened to them?

They wanted to argue. They lost.

both dead.

Bye.

I want to thank you, Spencer, but I can't. Not today. I don't want to see anybody.

I understand.

I'll get it.

Cheers.

New job!

new digs

You move fast, Hillary.

Nice. Very nice.

Thank you.

I'm part one.

together.

Partly dug his own grave.

We just watched.

George had evidence he was stealing from the company.

We gave him an opportunity to rectify a sloppy situation. Where's Blackmail?

persuasion. You

want to blow out that badly? I despised George Boulard.

I despise his politics, his business tactics.

He'd let the government of San Maritas fall if it meant revenue.

And he used people, especially women.

He loved to use women.

Ellen and I talked.

the rest fell into place.

What about you?

I'll go with you.

Who wins? The money?

We were together for 20 years and he wanted to leave me.

We owed more than we had. He could always work and make a good living.

What am I supposed to do? Become a secretary at 50?

So you were going to take a nice long vacation without saying goodbye.

some place nice to recuperate.

It must really hurt to have to pay for a beating like that.

I had to make you believe me.

contagious, isn't it?

The disease that occurs when money starts changing hands. It's a worldwide epidemic.

The government of Samaritas overdying, Partlin the two of you.

Nobody's clean. What difference does it make now?

Partlin took care of a lard and art Nathan to cover his own tracks.

The police took care partlin. You wrapped up the loose ends this morning.

And you got nothing.

BAM!

Thanks not much.

But he's enough.

All right, line.

Two for the price of one. They all have a price.

And man plays the fire, you know the rules.

a lot of work.

That's your love, life. That's

kind of personal, isn't it?

You still playin' one or one. See how the white honor play the game?

You know, I might try it at myself one day.

Ha! Ha ha ha ha!
