[ bells jingling ]

[ christmas music plays ]

[ exhales sharply ]

Brenda,
Is something wrong?

This is ridiculous.

Our real-estate agent said
It would help sell the house --

Give it a
"Home for the holidays" vibe.

We both know
Gary doesn't lie.

[ scoffs ] gary.

He hadn't brought us an offer
In three months.

Suddenly,
He calls out of the blue

And we're supposed
To hop to

Because he has
The buyer again.

Brenda, if you don't want to
Show the house, just say so.

I just don't want
To waste the whole day

Decorating it
For one couple.

Is it really so terrible

To have the house feeling
A little festive?

I do not like it
When I'm ordered to be festive.

Just hand me
The damn angel.

[ bulbs clang ]

[ sighs ]

Thanks.

[ doorbell rings ]

Oh!

Brenda, be merry.

I am merry.

Merry, merry, merry,
Merry, merry.

Merry christmas!

Brenda.

Welcome.
Come on in.

Oh. Baby.

Oh, no, please.
It's all right.

You a baseball fan?

Huge.
We collect vintage jerseys.

Huh.

Is the neighborhood safe?

Well --
Oh, uh, no, no.

Very safe.

In fact, fritz and brenda
Were just getting ready

To take a little stroll.
Right, fritz?

Right. Sorry.

Have fun.
See you later.

They're nice.

Go ahead.
Have a look around.

Yeah. It's charming,
Though, right?

Gary doesn't lie.

Or you could just blow
All this out.

Yes, chief,
I know exactly where that is.

Thank you.

Sorry.

There's been a robbery
And a homicide --

Well, two homicides.

Not near here --
Far, far, far, far away.

Not too far.

Thank y'all.
Nice meeting you.

Hey, wait till you see
The kitchen, huh?

You guys hungry?
Come on.

[ door closes ]

[ woman speaking indistinctly
Over police radio ]

[ siren wailing ]

So, where is the third guy?
And why do they come he--

[ siren wailing ]
Damn.

Boss, here they come.

Taylor:
Who called 'em?

I got no clue.

[ car doors closing ]

I was five brats away

From getting my grandson
A photo with santa,

So this better be good.

Oh.

What happened
To your hand?

Well, my 6-year-old --
It's a long story.

Deputy chief johnson,
Good to see you.

Chief pope.

I want everyone watching
To see

That we have this investigation
Under control,

So if you'll both just please
Nod, like we all agree.

Excellent.
Now, commander taylor,

Was this robbery the work
Of the same crew

That you've been tracking
Since last january?

Looks like the same m.O.

Walk up, ski masks,
Drive away.

But this firepower --
That's not their style.

Seems to have escalated.

Well, so have I.

Priority homicide is gonna take
The lead on this case now.

Ross: we've been busting
Our asses

On this investigation
For 11 months.

Are you suggesting
That 11 months of failure

Is an argument for your
Remaining on the case?

Chief, it would take
A lot of time

To bring priority homicide
Up to speed.

Chief pope,
Perhaps commander taylor and I

Could split
The investigation.

I could cover
The homicide.

Chief johnson, I appreciate
The good intentions,

But this investigation
Covers a lot of ground.

Now, I really want to be
A team player here.

Then be one.

Chief...
Commander...

Sometimes, being a team player
Means sitting on the bench.

Progress.
Yes, sir.

Sorry, commander.
Don't.

Please.

Gentlemen, with me, please.
This scene is ours.

Hey, I don't think
This is settled.

Uh, I'm afraid it is.

Talked to the bank manager.

Cash cargo is extra high
At the holidays.

They're still doing
Inventory,

But the bank estimates
That the suspects drove off

With close to 150 grand.

Can we trace it?
No. No dyes.

Now, don't ask me why,
But for some reason,

The policy is to use markers
And dyes

After a bank
Has been robbed.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

[ sighs ] okay.

Let's get pickup schedules --

Dates, times, routes --
From tas armored cars.

Why this bank?
Why this route?

Anything on the weapons?

Lots of casings,
Probably semiautomatic pistols,

Something uzi-esque --
Easier to conceal,

Powerful enough
To penetrate a vest.

Might be gang-related.
They don't mind shooting people.

Poor bastard.
$10 an hour for this.

Provenza: no time to get
His gloves off.

Even if he could get to his gun,
He's got a six-shooter

Against guys
With assault weapons.

We're not the only ones
That are outgunned.

Okay, who wants to notify
The families?

Ho, ho, ho.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Lieutenant provenza,

Have tas provide us with
Their employee backgrounds.

Same goes for the bank.

See if anyone has a bumpy past
Or knew these guards personally.

These are usually
Inside jobs.

Taylor's men have
Anything to say?

Uh, mostly stuff
I'd rather not repeat,

Except this crew
They've been searching for

Used to be a three-person
Operation,

But today
There was only two.

Don't know what they did
With the third guy.

Witnesses?

The wounded guard in
The ambulance is wesley reed.

Three customers
In the parking lot

All pretty much say
The same thing --

Two men in boots, jeans,
Jackets, and ski masks

Approached the vehicle
While the guards were unloading.

Everyone pretty much
Hit the deck

When the shots were fired,

And a couple people said
Our bad guys fled the scene

In an old
Chevy astro van.

Okay.

Lieutenant tao, please compile
A list of stolen cars,

"A" to "Z,"
In the last 12 months.

They must have had
A drop-off car --
[ engine turns over ]

Wait, wait! Wait!

[ siren wails ]

Can I go home?
I really just want to go home.

They need to take you
To the e.R.,

Make sure you're okay.

You got grazed
By a bullet.

I don't have
Any health insurance.

Don't -- don't worry, wesley.
We'll take care of that.

But first,
I need to know what you saw.

Anything might help.

Uh, arnie and hayes
Were unloading the truck,

And out of nowhere,
My windshield gets sprayed.

I heard yelling.

It was arnie telling me
To stay inside,

But I -- I got out
And went for my gun.

Bullets were flying
Everywhere,

So I dove under the truck
For cover.

And then, uh,
I saw, uh...

Well, I saw arnie...

Oh, man.
Oh, man.

Okay, okay.

You just rest, okay?
We'll talk later.

What -- what about hayes?

The drop-off was early,

According to the tas
Armored car supervisor.

The truck arrived
At the la brea branch

12 minutes ahead
Of schedule.

Late, maybe, but early,
In holiday traffic?

So the truck was early,

But they were still waiting
For it anyway?

And the bank's a good choice
Because two right turns,

And, boom,
You're on the freeway.

I spoke with the gang
Task force, but there's nothing.

Any luck on our getaway van?

Uh, year to date,

12,248 vehicles
Have been stolen in l.A.,

Of which 2,472 are vans,

Of which 961
Are chevy vans.

Did you find the one
We're looking for?

No, ma'am.

Well, we can't rule out
The possibility

That our victims
May have been involved.

So we should check out all phone
Activity between the tas guards,

All the phone lines at la brea,

The personal phones and
Cellphones of the manager and --

Chief, we get it --
Dump the phones.

Chief, our dead guards seemed
Like good guys -- no priors.

Arnie leaves behind a family
Of five, grandkids.

Hayes was an only child,
Lived with his mother.

He wanted to be a real cop,
Even applied to the academy.

[ shutters ]

[ sighs ]

And what about the driver,
Wesley reed?

Talked to his boss.

Wesley joined tas
About eight months ago.

He was well-liked.
No family.

Company insists they don't hire
Anyone with a police record,

And they require all applicants
To take a polygraph.

And, uh, taylor's report
Says that this crew

Has been hitting all security
Companies, not just tas.

[ telephone rings ]

If they're hitting
Other security companies...

The last two jobs
Have been tas trucks,

And they pulled in considerably
More money on those jobs

Than the ones
They did before.

Their information must be
Getting better.

Add today's robbery,

And it just isn't a coincidence
Anymore. It's a pattern.

They once were a three-man crew.
Now they're two.

Okay. Thanks.
You know what?

I'd like to chat
With this wesley reed again.

Um, that might not be
So simple.

Wesley was sent down
To radiology

To see if the bullet
That grazed him hit a bone.

Never showed up.

Why not?
Where'd he go?

It's unclear.

Well, where does he live?

Um...

[ exhales deeply ]

Any sign of anything?

Flynn: negative.

Commander taylor was supposed
To post an officer

At the hospital.

He says he did,
And he says he was sorry.

Then he went on to explain
How it wasn't his fault.

Master of the non-apology.

That's wesley's apartment.

Lieutenant flynn,

Did you see anyone enter
From the rear of the building?

Nothing, no.

Let's make progress.

Police!

Freeze!

He's going out back!
He's going out back!

He's going out back!

[ metal clangs ]

[ groaning ]

Wesley, stop!
Son of a bitch.

Don't move!

Get on the ground!

Get on the ground!

Get on the ground!

Hands behind your back!

Tell the chief we got him.

Man: suspect in custody.

You broke
My freaking hand!

Who the hell are you?

Gabriel:
No I.D. Found on the boy,

And so far,
He's only opened his mouth

To say that
He's not talking.

And as for wesley, his picture's
On every patrolman's dashboard,

But there's no sign of him.

Okay, I do not want a word
Of this investigation

In the papers, on tv,
Or in a blog.

We cannot let wesley reed know
That we are looking for him.

Wherever he is,
He must have turned off
His cellphone

And taken the battery out,

'cause we've been pinging it,
And nothing.

Same with
Credit-card activity.

And it turns out wesley boy
Does have an arrest record.

Now, tas either missed it,
Or they just didn't care.

Doesn't amount to a lot,

But, still, probation
For marijuana possession

And one drunk-and-disorderly
A couple years back.

Any family?

No.

Does it list
Known associates?
Uh, no.

What about the getaway car,
The astro van?
No.

What about the airports?

And that is not
A yes-or-no question.

Lax, burbank, ontario,
Long beach --

None of them has sold a ticket
To a wesley, wes, or w. Reed.

So unless he's got
A good fake I.D. --

Or he took a bus
Or a train.

I was just getting ready
To go down to union station.

Really? When?

See you.

Thank you.

Lieutenant provenza,
If you could continue

Checking through
Those phone records.

Lieutenant flynn, if you
Could check with the
Car-rental companies,

And then you can get some help
Canvassing the bus stations.

The harder it is to find
This wesley reed,

The more convinced I am
That he's worth looking for.

Thank you.

You needed a full s.I.S.
Operation for opie?

We were expecting someone
A little more...Dangerous.

I'm hoping this boy
Will lead us to him.

If we had staked the place out
A while longer,

Maybe wesley might have
Come back.

By "A while longer,"
You mean another 11 months?

Why do you think
This kid's involved?

Because...He ran.

Okay.
Oh!

I told you that I'd sell
Your house, right?

Well, gary doesn't --

Gary, please.
Okay.

Despite your best attempts
To undermine my salesmanship,

I have managed to persuade
Brett and geoffrey

To make you an offer.

Huh?

Can we talk
About this later?

Very short conversation.

I tell you the offer,
You say "Yes."

$20,000 over the asking price.
Short escrow.

The only catch is,

They want you to include
The baseball pyramid.

Fritz's baseball thingy?

I can't ask you
To part with that.

For $20,000 over asking,
I would part with you.

Ha ha.

Look, I cannot make
A decision right now.

I have an interview.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

You've been trying to get
An offer like this

For three months.

Just think what you can do
With 20,000 extra dollars.

Just wait in my office,
Please.

Gary, gary, gary.

She's trying to kill me.

Hey, good job
Just standing there.

[ door opens ]

You all right in here?
You want something to eat?

[ georgia accent ]
No, ma'am. I'm all right.

Well, well, well.

If I hadn't seen you running
Down the streets of los angeles

With my own eyes, I'd swear
You were a georgia boy.

Hi. I'm brenda.

Hi.

Aw, I miss hearing
That accent.

Say something southern.

Well, uh, what do you
Want me to say?

Oh, I don't know.

Something about kudzu
Or peachtree.

Oh, uh, when in rome,

Do as you done
In milledgeville.

I don't know that one,
But I like it.

That's, uh,
It's flannery o'connor.

The writer?

Well,
Not the nascar driver.

[ laughs ]
Oh, that's funny, richard.

Uh, it's -- it's "Grady."

Right.

Sorry. You remind me
Of my brother richard.

"Grady." at least we know
His first name is grady.

It's not as if I don't know
Who flannery o'connor is.

I'm just not that familiar
With her work.

Well, that's a shame.
She's awesome.

You study her in high school?
I went to roswell.

Oh, I went to chamblee.

Oh. "Went"?

I graduated last year.

Buzz, find out where
That high school is
And if he attended.

Yes, sir.

What -- at 14?

15 -- I'm almost 16 now.

Uh, do you spell "Chamblee"
With an "S-h" or a "C-h"?

Who knows?
It's georgia.

You still got
That great accent.

Wes' accent
Isn't as strong as yours.

No, he, uh, he moved out here
Just after our mom died,

Took some acting classes.

He's -- he's gonna be
In some commercials, maybe.

I stayed back home in georgia
With my grandma.

You know, it's funny.

I don't even notice
My accent,

But people in los angeles
Think I sound like a hick.

I hear you.

Then I flash 'em my badge,

And they kind of
Change their tune.

I'm a deputy chief, grady,

And I hope to goodness
You haven't done anything wrong.

I need to ask you
Some questions.

We found this
In your apartment.

What?

$8,061.

Where?

In your bedroom.
Is that why you ran, grady?

No, no. That's not my bedroom.
I sleep on the pullout.

So what's wesley doing
With all that cash?

Did your brother
Do something bad?

No. No, no, no.

That's probably the money
He's saving up

For me to go to college.

Do you know two
Of wesley's co-workers

Were shot
And killed yesterday?

He didn't kill anybody.

The sooner we talk, the sooner
We can ensure his safety.

Which is what
I'm trying to do.

Do you know where he is?

I don't know
Where he went.

But he did go somewhere?

I mean, I guess.
I don't know.

So he just abandoned you?

No. Wes wouldn't.
He was -- he was scared, okay?

Somebody -- somebody shot
At him, and he was --

He was scared
And called the house

And said
That he wasn't safe.

That he had to go away
For a while

Until everything
Calmed down.

So even if we had waited
Outside your apartment
For another week,

We would not have encountered
Your brother?

No, ma'am.

Did wesley have any friends
Or people he hung out with

Who might know
Where he went?

Um, I'm not supposed
To talk about them.

Why not?

Well, wes said --

He said that
They were fine for him

'cause he knew how
To handle them, but he --

He said I should
Stay clear.

I'm not supposed to talk
About them.

Wesley wouldn't have warned you
About them

Unless he thought
They were dangerous.

There are two separate families
Who are planning funerals

Right now
Because of what they did.

We need to find them
Before they hurt anyone else,

Before they hurt you.

These men shot at your brother,
And they almost killed him.

Please, grady,
Please, tell me their names.

Thumps -- thumps and r.J.

That sounds
Like nicknames.

That's what
Wes called them.

Do you know
Their last names?

Do you know
Where they live?

Did you ever see them?
Maybe.

Uh, this one time...

My brother was talking
To two people out front.

There was an argument,
And the one, r.J. --

Wesley took his job,
And he was pretty mad about it.

So do you think
That thumps and r.J.

Are the reason
That wesley left town?

Was he afraid of them?

I-I don't know.
I guess.

Why didn't you go
With him?

Why did wesley leave you
Alone in the apartment

If wesley didn't think
It was safe?

I wanted to go with him.
I couldn't afford a ticket back.

Ticket back where, grady?

Did wesley go home
To atlanta?

It's okay.
You didn't tell me.

I guessed.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Ohh.

Gary: ticktock, brenda.

I mean, the offer's
Only good for 24 hours.

Gary, shush!

Look, fritzi, aren't you
Just a little bit worried

About selling our home
Before we find a new one?

Ohh!

Brenda, I haven't really had
A home for over a year,

So, no, I am not worried.

Not to mention the fact that
We can't afford a new house

Till we get the money
From this one.

I know a mortgage broker --
Gary, shh!

[ sighs ]

You really want
To do this?

I really do.

Okay.
I'll make you a deal.

I promise to sign
That offer right now

If you promise that you'll go
With me to atlanta.

Well, sure.

When?

Tonight.

You promised.
[ groans ]

[ "Jingles bells" theme
Playing ]

Hello, vicky!
Did you miss me?

Come here, girl.
[ chuckling ] yeah, that's it.

Oh.

[ whimpers, barks ]

Uh, did you say "Vicky"?

Vicky?

Vicky -- that's her name.

Welcome to our home.

It's even lovelier
Than brenda described.

Well, I'm surprised she
Remembers what it looks like.

Been so long
Since she paid us a visit.

Well, it can be tough for brenda
To pull away from work.

Look, I know he belongs
With children's services,

But the moment we let
Little grady out of our sight,

The first thing
He's going to do

Is tell his brother, wesley,
That we're looking for him.

I hope we didn't cancel
Our plans

To spend our holiday
In florida

Just so we can listen
To our daughter

Talk on her cellphone
The whole week.

We're just happy
To have our daughter

And our future son-in-law
Here for a holiday.

I can't wait
To show you off.

Well, thank you, willie ray.

Uh, hang on for just
One second, sergeant.

Um, fritzi, why don't you take
Our bags upstairs?

And then mama
Can give you the tour.

I'm just, uh...

"Fritzi"?

[ chuckling ]

"Vicky"?

Just do whatever you can
To keep in control

Of that boy.

Right.

Uh, speaking of control,

There seems to be some question
As to who exactly

Is in charge,
With you being out of town.

Tell commander taylor
And that sawed-off

Runt detective ross
To just take a pill

And stop blaming us
For what happened!

We're only doing
What chief pope told us to do.

And as long as I have
A cellphone, I'm in charge.

Chief! Chief!

I should mention
That you're on speakerphone,

And, uh, you know, commander
And detective r-- uh, ross,

Are honoring us
With a visit.

Oh.

Happy holidays, gentlemen.

Give my best
To your family, chief.

Thank you.

And if you really want
To hold onto this kid grady,

We can keep him busy.

We can put him in a room
With some mug shots.

Maybe he can I.D.
This thumps and r.J.

That is an excellent idea,
Commander,

But how long do you really think
That's gonna keep

Children's services
Out of our hair?

Long enough for us to come up
With another plan

To stall them.

Uh, good.
Thank you.

And, uh, sergeant gabriel,

I'm gonna need wesley reed's
Grandmother's address, please.

Actually, chief,
He's not there.

He's not?
How do you know?

Um, because he's in jail.

Apparently he had an outstanding
Bench warrant back home

For a failure to appear on
A drunk-and-disorderly charge,

And his grandmother turned him
In to the police

The moment he got home.

Well, I don't think
I've seen a home quite so...

...Festive, mrs. Johnson.

Thank you, fritz.

I always try to make
A little extra effort

For the holidays.

Fritzi,
We need to go shopping.

Right now?
Yes.

Well, if we're going
To the mall, I have to change.

What's the matter
With what you have on?

Well, this was for going
To the airport.

Oh, no, mama,
You're not coming with us.

We're going shopping
For you.

They don't have stores
In los angeles?

Why are you wasting our time
Together at the mall?

Daddy, it was all
So last-minute,

We thought we'd do
Our shopping here.

[ smooches ]

Come on, fritzi.

[ chuckles ]

Oh, um, daddy,
Can I borrow your car?

[ breathes deeply ]

Hold on.
Hold on.

You don't even have
A warrant?

Not in hand.

Lieutenant tao is working
That out for me right now.

Shouldn't you wait
Until you have it?

Technically, these guys
Don't have to give you access

To wesley reed
Without one.

I know that,
But I'm from here,

And I know the local
Sheriffs departments

Aren't as hung up
On technicalities

As the federal bureaucrats
You're used to dealing with.

They tend to respond to common
Sense and common courtesy.

And if I were you,
I'd keep quiet.

They hear that yankee accent,
They might just throw us out.

Hello.

I'm deputy chief
Brenda leigh johnson

Of the los angeles
Police department.

Well, thank god.

Fellas, everything's
Gonna be okay.

The lapd is here.

Ha.

I'm sheriff barney fife.

[ chuckles ]
That's cute.

Anyway, um, sheriff,
Uh, pritchard, is it?

I'm so sorry to bother you,

Especially
During the holiday season.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Merry christmas.

It's my mama's
Peanut brittle.

So, you have a gentleman
In your lockup

By the name of wesley reed.

Are you asking or telling?

Telling, I guess.
I'd really like to talk to him.

He's a person of interest
In a double homicide...

And armed robbery.

So, can I talk to him,
Please?

Sure.

Just you show me a badge,
An I.D., and a warrant.

Oh, is that
Really necessary?

Tell the little lady
To come back with a warrant.

Okay.

May I please speak
To the person in charge?

Actually, sweetheart...

...You already are.

Pardon me.
[ clears throat ]

Sheriff, I'm special agent
Howard, fbi.

Fbi?

I was just up
At that training seminar

You guys put on
Up at quantico.

Well, why didn't you say
You were fbi?

We usually like to maintain
A low profile

In these investigations.

Would you object
If I spoke with wesley?

Of course not.

Thank you.

Why don't you check
On your warrant?

"Just step aside, little lady,
And let the men handle this"?

Do you want someone to talk
To wesley reed,

Or do you want to strike a blow
For women everywhere?

Go ahead.

Man: take a right.
Thank you.

[ door closes ]

So, you're wesley reed.

You know you are
Single-handedly responsible

For ruining my christmas?

I was all set to spend
The holidays quietly --

Just my fiancée and me
In los angeles,

But now I find myself here,
In a jail cell with you.

I am not on my couch,
Wesley.

Dude, who are you?

I'm with the fbi.
Agent howard.

Fbi?

Well,
What are you doing here?

"Member fdic." [ chuckles ]
That sound familiar?

You ever wonder
What that means?

No.

"Federal deposit
Insurance corporation."

And that means, if somebody
Steals money from a bank,

They're stealing it
From the u.S. Government.

Then it automatically
Becomes my business.

So, let's talk about
The armored-car robbery

You were involved with.

I wasn't involved.

You drove the truck.

Yeah, I drove the truck,
But I wasn't involved, involved.

So why are you here,
Wesley?

I came home to spend christmas
With my -- with my grandma.

You were so anxious
To see her,

You walked out of a hospital
In the middle of medical tests.

I was freaked out, man.
I've never been shot at before.

I just -- I wanted
To get out of town.

How'd you get here
So fast?

Plane.

There's no record of you
On any airlines out of l.A.

Drove to vegas,
Flew from there.

That sounds like
The actions of a man

Running away
From something.

Sorry, agent howard,
But the interview's over.

I'm gonna need
A few more minutes.

Talk as long as you want to,
Sir, just not in here.

Wesley,
Someone bailed you out.

[ sighs ]

Hi, there, wesley.
Remember me?

What are you doing here?

I'm posting your bail.

[ grunting ]

Hope you enjoyed your freedom,
'cause you are under arrest.

Let's go.

$8,000 for bail?

I only had to put down 10%.

I know how bail works,
Brenda,

But if wesley doesn't make it
Back for his hearing,

You'll lose the rest.

And he has a history
Of running away.

Where are you taking me?

Somewhere where I can
Ask you a few questions.

I'm not talking to you.
I didn't do anything.

This is total bullshit.

Watch your language,
Young man.

And if you didn't do anything,
Why did you hightail it

Back across the country
After the robbery?

I already told your fbi boy
I don't know anything.

Now I want my phone call.
I-I want to talk to my brother.

As soon as you answer
My questions.

I'm not answering nothing.
You got me? Nothing, zip.

I want to talk to my brother!

Not till you answer
My questions.
Forget it!

I got nothing to say!
Not a word! Nothing! Nada!

For someone who has nothing
To say, you sure do talk a lot.

Why don't you just
Settle down?

Why don't you just go back
To working at hooters?

Hey, knock it off!

Hey, hey, hey!

[ tires screeching ]
Sit back!

Put your arms up.

What are you doing?

Grab his legs, fritzi.

Hey, wesley.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

[ scoffing ]

Aah!

This is my daddy's car.

Bitch.

You do one more thing
To irritate me

And I'm gonna shoot you!

Brenda doesn't lie.

[ sighs ]

[ grunting ]

We were shopping
At lenox square,

And all of a sudden,
I see this man,

Who I recognize as a fugitive
From los angeles.

We've got pictures
All over the precinct.

I wasn't in lenox square.

Shh!

Mr. Johnson,
I will make sure

That brenda gets this man
Out of your house

First thing in the morning.

Yes, and I will pay
For the window.

Daddy, I am so sorry
About all of this.

There's no need
To apologize,

Especially when you don't
Mean it!

I'm going to bed.

You two are gonna sit up,
Watch him.

Young man...

Try not to murder me
In my sleep.

[ sighs ]

Daddy, I really am sorry,
But I had no choice.

I saw him, and I --

Brenda, don't make things
Worse by telling stories.

Now, your mother and I
Canceled plans

To go to st. Augustine,

Where we were gonna meet up
With your brothers,

Your sisters-in-law,

All your nieces and nephews.
You understand?

Because you said that you were
Gonna be home for christmas.

But I was coming home.

But not to see us.

No, you were coming home
To find that boy,

And then you were gonna
Take him back.

You a going back, right?

I was hoping this visit,
You'd want to be here,

And not looking to leave

As soon as you unzipped
Your suitcase.

Oh, daddy,
Please don't be mad.

He's not mad, brenda leigh,
Just disappointed.

Maybe you'll find out
Yourself one day --

The child who comes home
To visit the least

Is the one
You want to see the most.

We just miss you is all.

[ exhales deeply ]

Business-class tickets?

It's the only seats
They had available.

I'll run it through
Lapd expenses.

Getting money back from a
Bureaucracy isn't easy, brenda.

Then I'll pay us back
With our house-sale money.

We don't have
That money yet.

Will you stop spending it
Like we do?

Listen, you and I
Will fly home with wesley.

You call flynn back.

No, if we leave now,
My parents are gonna think

That the only reason I came here
Was to arrest a fugitive.

That is the only reason.
It's not the only reason!

Look, flynn and provenza
Are on their way.

We're gonna stay here
For the holiday --

You and me and mama and daddy --
And it's going to be nice!

Will you two please shut up?
I'm trying to sleep.

Oh, good.
You're awake.

That'll give us some time
To chat.

You really gonna marry
This woman?

It must be for the money.

I guess I could put up
With all her crap

If I could live in
A nice house like this.

It's time for you
To answer my questions.

You gonna let me talk
To my brother?

I'm sorry.
That's not possible right now.

[ rattling ]

Oh, this is gonna be
A long night.

You get the first shift!

Fine.

Move your feet.

[ sighing ]

He's in my chair!

[ doorbell rings ]
Oh.

Better late than never.

Come on. Get up.

Lieutenant provenza,
Lieutenant flynn,

Welcome to atlanta.

Thank you.

I could tell
It was your house

From a block away,
Willie ray.

And look at this --

Looks like something out

Of a bing crosby
Christmas special.

Well, thank you,
Lieutenant.

Let me fix you boys
Something to eat.

No, mama, they're not hungry,
And they're not staying.

They've got a taxi
Waiting outside.

No, no, no.

Where have you two been?

You were supposed to be here
Two hours ago.

We got bumped. Well, I mean,
We sort of volunteered.

How could we not?
They were offering free tickets

To anyone who would take
A later flight.

Free tickets
With no blackout dates!

And he hasn't shut up
About it since.

Is this our package?
Yes, it is.

Gentlemen,
Meet wesley reed.

He's got a foul mouth,
A bad temper,

And he likes
To kick things.

You all have
A nice flight.

Bye!

[ door closes ]

[ sighs ]

Keep your hands
In your pockets.

I'll cuff you
When we're on the plane.

I can't do this.
I can't fly.

I-I'm gonna freak out.

Yeah. Well, you didn't freak out
When you flew here from vegas.

I'm getting dizzy.

I can't get
On that airplane.

Don't worry about it.

If you start to feel sick,
Just throw up all over flynn.

Woman:
Thank you so much.

I'm not getting
On that airplane.

Yeah, you are!

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

I have a bomb.

Yeah, I got a bomb.

I have a bomb!

Provenza: just stay calm!
Don't panic!

This gentleman is in custody,
And he has no bomb!

Gabriel:
[ chuckling ] hi.

Hi. I'm sergeant gabriel.
Are you...

I'm with
Children's services.

Right.

I'm here to pick up
Grady reed.

Grady. Great, okay.

Uh, well, as soon as
We are done with him,

I will personally drive him
Down to the foster home.

Do you have an address?

Sergeant,
That's not how it works.

He needs to come
With us now.

She's right.
The kid's got to go.

But you did find a foster home
With some protection, right?

Excuse me?

They have automatic weapons
On hand

And someone who's
Comfortable using them?

Grady -- well, he's got
People looking for him.

Yeah, these, uh,
These guys after grady --

They're bad news.

They killed two men
A couple days ago with uzis.

And the family
Needs to make sure

That they keep their weapons
Away from him.

He's responsible
For breaking

One of our lieutenant's arms.
Violent kid.

Oh, my god.

So, I mean, do you have a family
That can handle all that

Without any
Liability issues?

Or I guess we could
Just hold him

In protective custody
Until you do.

[ doorbell rings ]

We expecting company,
Willie ray?

No.

[ gasps ]
Maybe it's carolers!

Come on. Come on.

Brenda.

Brenda.

[ singsong voice ]
Come on!

I love carolers.

[ gasps ]

There are no rental cars
Available

In the entire atlanta
Metropolitan region.

There are no vans
Available.

And even if there were
Flights available,

We wouldn't be allowed
On one

Because we've just
Been added

To the federal terrorist
No-fly list.

I'll be a son of a...

Mmm. Mm-mmm.

Daddy, I swear, this wasn't
Supposed to happen.

Doesn't matter if it was
Or wasn't supposed to happen.

It di happen.

Now what we got to do
Is get that criminal

Out of my house
And out of my city.

[ r.V. Door opens ]

We were gonna drive
To florida for christmas,

And so it's all ready.

Isn't it beautiful?

Oh, mama.

[ r.V. Door closes ]

It's always been our dream
To retire

And travel this great country
In an r.V.

I can't say that a fugitive
Criminal was part of that dream,

But I suppose that now
Is as good a time as any

To get started.

Oh, we can't take
Your r.V.

Well, why not?
She's gassed up and ready to go.

Besides that,
It's comfortable.

I don't think I can drive
Anything this big.

Don't worry.
I'll drive.

The hell you will.

Only person allowed to drive
My r.V. Is...

Willie ray.

Thank you, fritz.

Mmm.

[ sighs ]

Are you gonna do anything
To help me?

I am helping.

I'm making sure we have
The proper paperwork

To take our fugitive
Across the country.

Lieutenant tao...

I need an update as to whether
I have an arrest warrant

For wesley reed so I don't
Face charges of kidnapping
When I get home.

And please don't turn off
Your cellphone

When I'm in a different
Time zone.

Thank you.

Happy holidays.

Okay.
I'm here to help.

Never mind.

[ clears throat ]

Oh, mama, that's nice.

Hmm.

Sit down, please,
At the table.

Don't even think about it.

These are for five days
Of jockey shorts,

Socks, deodorant,
Razors, toothbrushes.

Thank you.

And here's a receipt

For these stylish clothes
He picked out.

And you, listen, I'm not gonna
Handcuff you, okay?

'cause this r.V.'s gonna be
Traveling down the highway

At about 60 miles an hour.

So if you jump out, you'll be
Doing us all a big favor.

You got it?

Happy holidays to you, too,
Asshole.

Nice.

Watch your language.

Water bottles.

In the fridge.

Check. Vicky?

At the neighbor's.

Perry como christmas cd.

Check.

[ chuckles ]

Now, the key to long-distance
Travel is organization.

I've made a schedule
That would allow us

To get to l.A. In four days.

If we adhere strictly to it,

We should be able to skip most
Of the rush-hour traffic

In the metropolitan areas
That we'll be traveling through.

Now, since this vehicle
Only sleeps five,

We'll be stopping at several
High-class r.V. Motels,

Where lieutenant provenza
And lieutenant flynn will, uh,

Disembark for the night
And get some shut-eye.

[ sneezes ]
Lieutenant provenza,

What is the matter
With you?

I-it's all this garland stuff
Up here.

It makes my eyes water.

He's allergic to christmas.
What a surprise.

[ grunting ]

All right, hold it up
And move it out!
