[keyboard keys clacking]

Detective Morrison, have you heard anything about Gary yet?

How could it have happened?

He was in a police station under tight security.

I don't know.

Is there any sign that he's still alive?

Nothing either way.

I don't understand it.

Why aren't you doing anything?

Don't you care?

We're doing everything we can.

Well, it's not enough.

[instrumental music]

[Valene] Will it be hard to get a taxi?

No, it shouldn't take long at all, ma'am.

Good.

Midtown traffic this time of day can be m*rder.

Yeah, and I have to get all the way to the airport.

If you're going back to warm weather.

Mrs. Ewing, when you get home,

you'll be getting a phone call.

-From Mark St. Claire. -What?

[man 1] With very good news.

-Who are you? -Gary's still alive.

Pardon me for being so abrupt.

I didn't mean to startle you.

You were at the funeral.

The casket was never opened, was it?

There was a very good reason.

What are you saying?

Gary would very much like to see you.

Mark St. Claire will call you at your home tomorrow

and let you know when and where you can see him.

-What? -And...

Don't mention this conversation.

Gary could be k*lled.

[Karen] The three of us have gotten through

a lot worse than this.

Right?

We'll just pull through this the way we always have.

Together, huh?

He told us he didn't do anything wrong.

Was he lying about everything?

Good morning.

Hey, come on, then. Let's go to school, huh?

Before we're late.

Hey, we're still going to the game Saturday night.

Right, guys? Huh?

Karen, there's nothing we can't work out.

No, Mack, not anymore.

I mean... I've been thinking about it all night long, and...

I was absolutely wrong for not telling you about Wolfbridge,

but I did it because I love you.

After all you've been through,

I didn't want to see you hurt again,

and it wasn't fair to you.

-Because I found out? -No.

What did you expect to find this morning?

Karen, when all this is over, and it's almost over--

That I would have forgotten all about it?

-Things will get back to normal. -It wouldn't hurt anymore?

You just can't cut it off like that.

You shouldn't have come here, Mack.

After all we've been through together.

After all you've done to everybody.

What we've meant to each other.

But it's not just me.

-Karen, we belong to each oth-- -It's not just the two of us.

The damage you've caused to everyone's lives

without, without even... seeming to care about it.

That's not true.

[Karen] The lies you told me are the least of it.

-I had a reason. -I can't live with you anymore.

I'm not walking out.

Go.

You just leave.

I don't want you here.

I don't want to see you anymore.

[melancholic music]

Is that what you want?

You got it.

What the hell gives you the right to do

whatever you want with people's lives

without any regard, without any feeling

for what happens to them?

Mack, how could you do that to him?

What do you want, Abby?

Why didn't you tell me he was alive?

Who told you that?

What difference does it make?

He's as good as dead now.

This won't take long.

Look, I don't know why Abby

sent you or what she told you.

My visit here has nothing to do with Lotus Point.

I'm, I'm really very late for work and...

I'm giving you a chance to save Gary Ewing's life.

Abby?

You started to tell me something at the funeral.

-What was it? -It doesn't matter anymore.

You set him up.

You probably got him k*lled now.

I know who tried to k*ll him the first time.

It's the same people you're still doing business with.

Convince your husband to stop his investigation

of the Wolfbridge Group.

I can't do that.

Make a date to have lunch

with your husband this afternoon.

I already have plans.

Diana will not be able to join you.

How do you know that?

How do I know Gary's alive?

I suggest you remain watchful

over the next two days.

You'll notice a particular series of events.

Then why come to me now?

How many times did I ask you for help?

If you hadn't lied to me,

if you'd told me that Gary was alive,

even if it was a secret, if you hadn't kept that from--

-Who told you Gary was alive? -I doesn't matter!

Nothing is gonna change the facts.

First, your daughter will call, canceling lunch.

Mack-Mack won't listen to me.

The second will involve your mechanic, Casey Hale.

He'll have to leave work early today.

How would you know that?

The third will be a phone call

from your brother Joe in New York.

Oh, it'll be good news.

The fourth and last, however, will not be good news.

Mack will be k*lled unless you can stop him.

One way or another, I'm gonna get Mark St. Claire.

If you wanna see Mack live,

you'll find a way to convince him.

If I'd have known all along, I would have helped you.

-Why? -Because I love Gary!

I would have done anything to help him.

I'd do anything now if I could.

Anything!

Gary's still alive?

Alright, Abby.

I've got something you wanna see.

We'll keep in touch.

What is your name?

Mark St. Claire.

Who is Mark St. Claire?

-What? -Mark St. Claire. Who is he?

I don't know.

Didn't Mack talk about him?

Something about Wolfbridge.

They have anything to do with Gary's m*rder?

Why would the Wolfbridge Group

want Gary Ewing dead?

I don't know. That's why I wanna talk about it.

What is it you're trying to prove, Valene?

I'm not trying to prove anything. I--

[Ben] 'Cause the man is dead!

Now what difference does it make who k*lled him?

[glass shatters]

He's dead!

When I called you in Hawaii to tell you

that Gary was still alive, I thought

it was the best thing that could've happened.

I thought that despite everything we had done

or hadn't done or should've done that...

Of course, maybe I'm just talking for myself.

I felt undeservedly blessed.

That somehow something good had happened

and there was a moment,

a long moment.

When I took it all as some horrible lesson

but I learned it, I learned the lesson again.

I don't even know the difference

between right and wrong anymore.

I would just settle for nobody getting hurt

and being able to live with myself.

What happened after I called? What did you do?

I came back here, you know that.

What else? What else did you do?

I called you to give you peace of mind.

I didn't call you so you could come back and finish the job.

I had nothing to do with the job.

[Laura] Don't lie to me.

It's almost over.

[intense music]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[sighs]

Oh, Gary!

Gary. Oh, God!

[dramatic music]

Oh!

[sobbing]

-I thought they'd kidnapped you. -Who?

Oh, God. What are you doing here with Mack?

God, I don't know how you do it.

-Do what? -It's the speed that gets me.

I mean, don't you ever trip up?

Don't you ever have a second where you can't think of a lie?

Oh, Gary, please.

You're alive. That's all that matters.

Don't start with me again.

Do you think I'm so stupid I haven't figured everything out?

There's not an honest bone, not an honest feeling,

You never meant anything you ever meant to me.

That's not true!

Did you enjoy making a fool out of me?

I never meant to lie to you.

I didn't think of it that way.

[crying]

It's not working, Abby.

[instrumental music]

After what you did to us...

Staging your own death!

Yeah, your partner's missed.

I didn't have anything to do with it, and you know it.

I see you've reopened the offices.

-So what? -Doing business quite well.

-None of my assets aren't-- -The business had to go on.

-It had nothing to do with-- -My body's not even cool yet!

-You weren't even dead. -You didn't know that!

Why did you have Mack bring me here?

You're not listening, are you? My life is still in danger.

-Is this a setup? -You tell me.

Are you setting me up?

Why didn't you just let me go on thinking it was over?

Why didn't you just go on letting me think you were dead?

Maybe you'll get what you want.

[sobbing]

[telephone ringing]

-Hello? - [Diana] Oh, hi, mom. It's me.

-Oh, Diana, where are you? - [Diana] I'm really sorry.

I'm all the way out in the valley. Got a flat tire.

-Can you believe it? -Are you okay?

[Diana] I'm fine. This guy, he helped me change the tire.

I don't know what I would've done without him.

Okay.

[Diana] Um, look, don't be mad or anything,

but I don't think I'm going to be able

to get there in time for lunch.

Well, um, maybe sometime next week.

[Diana] I'll call you, okay? Bye.

Alright. Bye.

Who told you that Gary was alive?

Greg Sumner.

-How did he find out? -I don't know.

Did Mark St. Claire know that you know that he's alive?

I don't know. Mack,

Why in heaven's name did you take Gary out of--

It was just a matter of time, you know.

Well, what happens when they find out he's here?

That's why I need your help. It's not just saving Gary's--

Wait a minute. You're not gonna trust her.

[Mack] This is your chance to get back control of Lotus Point,

get your money back, get Wolfb--

Leave her the hell out of it!

...made one mistake.

See, all that white-collar crime

and all that stuff.

See, that'll lay in the courtrooms for years.

But m*rder, we got him.

We'll put him away.

But they didn't k*ll Gary.

-Not on the first try. -What do you mean?

Their big mistake was k*lling Ray Geary.

-Ray Geary? -Cathy's husband.

[sighs] I know.

As soon as Wolfbridge finds out where Gary is--

[Abby] Wait, wait, wait.

What are you planning to do, set Gary up?

You've been setting him up a hell of a lot longer than that.

Mack, you're crazy.

If Wolfbridge makes one more attempt on Gary's life,

we can nail him for the m*rder of Ray Geary.

Well, what if they succeed this time?

[Mack] That's where you've got to come up with the evidence

that links Wolfbridge and Mark St. Claire

to the next m*rder attempt.

St. Claire is just a lawyer.

-He's their leader. -[Abby] Oh, that's ridiculous--

I don't know what he's been telling you,

but he's their head guy, and I'll prove it.

If you turn state witness,

I'll put him away forever.

Mark St. Claire is her partner.

Shut up.

[Mack] We don't need you as a decoy, Gary.

If Abby doesn't point the finger to the m*rder*r,

she's the only one who can get us Mark St. Claire.

Let me tell you something.

I agreed to be a moving target for you,

but I did not agree to put the g*n in her hands.

If Abby succeeds, the g*n won't go off.

-I'll do anything you-- -No!

Yes!

[intense music]

- [Mark] Mrs. McKenzie? -Yes.

I wouldn't be concerned about Diana.

Billy's a fine mechanic.

-Billy? - [Mark] Yes.

He'll have her tire fixed in no time.

-I see. -I'm looking at Gary right now.

I'm thinking about the lunch

you'll be having with your husband.

Oh, and, uh,

don't forget about Casey Hale.

Man, I hope you know what you're doing.

[chuckles] You really are something, aren't you?

You're playing everyone off everyone else.

You got us all jumping through your hoops here.

I'm just trying to think out when I started.

That had nothing to do with me.

And now it's too late for any of us to back down.

I wonder how much of this I'm not aware of.

Not much.

You know that our lives depend upon this plan of yours working.

My life, too.

Why is this so important to you?

Why is this important to me?

If I don't get Wolfbridge, who will?

I'm not backing down because...

...it's dangerous.

I owe him one.

I won't back down because it's like saying people can...

cheat and swindle and k*ll.

See, I can't back down because everyone else is.

I think you've gone a little crazy.

Barbara, it's Karen McKenzie. Is Mack there?

Well, when will he be back?

He's not gone for the day, is he?

Oh, uh, well-well did he-he leave a number

or wh-where he could be reached?

I see.

Barbara, look, um, do you know where he's staying?

A-at a hotel or a-an apartment?

Yes. Well, I'll be at the office.

He has my number. I-I'll be in all afternoon.

-Thank you. -Uh, Mrs. McKenzie?

Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to frighten you.

Oh, it's alright, Casey. What can I do for you?

Um, well, you know, I never

ask for any favors or special treatment,

but I just got news that I'm, that I'm needed at home.

It's family business. It's kind of important.

And you want to leave work early.

Yeah, if I can, uh, it's just for today.

-Yes, that's fine. -Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

[Sumner] How's Mary-Frances?

Listen, Jane.

I'd like you to come back to Los Angeles as soon as you can.

Tonight, if you could book a flight.

No, there's nothing wrong.

At least not yet.

I called a press conference for tomorrow afternoon,

and I'd like you to be there with me.

I'm gonna make an announcement.

No, I'm going to make public some old information

and, uh, some new information.

That's all I want to say right now.

You know I don't ask you very often.

Yeah, I know that.

No.

Look, stand by me, will you?

You'll be proud of me this time, I promise you.

I'm just gonna do what I should've done

a long time ago.

Yeah, I understand.

I'll call you as soon as it's over.

[knock on door]

[Valene] Karen?

In here.

-Hi. -Oh, hi.

Is-is Mack home from work yet?

He's not here.

I, um...

I need to ask him some questions.

Since he was the last person to see Gary alive.

Oh, Val, you have to go through the whole thing all over again.

No, Karen, I'd rather know what happened.

Val, I'm sure that Mack had no idea

that Gary could be taken from the police station.

I-I shouldn't... I shouldn't speak for him.

but I can't believe that Mack

couldn't have wanted any of this to happen.

Karen, what are you talking about?

When was Gary in a police station?

Oh, my God.

What's the matter?

Oh, Val.

Karen, what's wrong?

Oh, honey.

Look, um...

Sit down.

[Valene] What's wrong?

Oh, Val.

I don't know how to tell you this.

What?

Gary wasn't k*lled at the ranch.

It wasn't real. It was...

It was all a-a part of Mack's plan

to bring down Wolfbridge.

Where is he now?

We don't know.

He was kidnapped by the Wolfbridge Group.

Val...

Didn't Ben tell you?

He knew?

When did he find out?

While you were in New York.

No, he didn't tell me.

He didn't tell me.

Yes, he did.

[Mark] So, you understand that any out of court settlement

you make with Karen McKenzie will be paid

by Apolune...solely.

Mrs. Ewing, you surprise me.

I expected a fight.

You know, my great aunt, Sarah,

never shed a tear when her husband died.

For six months, she...

...carried on as though nothing had happened

and all of a sudden...

One day...

Everything caught up with her.

She started to cry and...

...never left her house again.

I hope your reaction won't be as severe.

Well, I've come to accept certain realities,

certain changes.

Excuse me.

I'm afraid I'll have to postpone

the rest of our meeting.

Some important business has come up.

[knock on door]

What are you still doing here?

What do you mean, what am I still doing here?

I live here. What are you doing here?

It's time you went back to Hawaii.

You have a short memory, friend.

I don't take orders from you anymore.

Then think of it as advice.

I don't need any advice. I'm staying put.

Whatever differences we've had in the past...

Will continue into the future.

I don't want to see you or your career get hurt.

I appreciate that.

The Gary Ewing case comes to a head tomorrow.

I don't want you anywhere where you could

possibly be associated with it.

Go back to Jane in Hawaii.

What do you have planned for Gary Ewing?

You can't stop it. I'm telling you for your own good.

Get out of town.

[waves crashing]

Hey, I'll be right out, I'm busy

removing hair off my chest with these...

Okay.

That's from the Corrego Islands.

The natives there carved those.

Those are fertility symbols.

I don't think you need one.

Hey, did I tell you that I've decided

the twins are gonna be a boy and a girl?

And we should name him Mahatmo,

and we should name the girl Mahatma.

Mahatma Gibson.

I like it.

Of course, if you're still married to--

Ben, why didn't you tell me about Gary?

-What about Gary? -That he wasn't k*lled!

That he might still be alive.

You were coming back from New York so soon--

Alright, fine, then when I came here for lunch today...

Because he might not be alive.

I didn't wanna get your hopes up.

How could you keep that from me?

Something like that.

-Ben! -You want your answer?

Yes, I do.

Alright, then sit down and shut up and listen.

[intense music]

Alright, here it comes, right between the eyes.

When I got back from El Salvador,

and I heard that Gary was dead,

I felt like somebody had taken an enormous weight

right off my chest.

Even though I was sad he was dead...

God help me.

I was glad he was dead.

I don't believe you.

I really don't believe it.

I can't believe that you couldn't tell me.

Well, I'm not exactly proud of myself.

Why do you continue to doubt how I feel about you?

It's not how you feel about me.

It's how you feel about Gary.

Look at your face.

Your face goes blank. Your knees get weak.

You and I have never been alone, not once.

It's always been you and me and Gary.

So where do we go from here?

That's no way to start a marriage.

You're damn right.

Well, then this isn't right either.

[melancholic music]

Well, I'm glad you could change your plans on such short notice.

I'm flattered you'd ask me.

This is a much more pleasant way to do business.

Well, everything about Lotus Point is back on track.

-With one notable exception. -Karen McKenzie.

I don't want you to worry about that.

I'll take care of it.

What are you planning?

That's not for you to worry about.

You know, I have never known a lawyer

to travel with a bodyguard,

and I never see you without one.

As a child, I had asthma.

I never learned to fight.

I think you're being modest.

No, I never did.

Does anyone know more about Wolfbridge than you do?

Probably not.

Come on, you can tell me.

You're more than a lawyer for Wolfbridge, aren't you?

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

Joe, why-why are you calling?

Oh, no, don't be, don't be silly.

Of course I'm glad to hear from you.

What?

Oh, that's... That's great news.

That's-that's really great.

Joe, look, I've got to go.

I've got... I've got to get off the phone.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

[breathing heavily] Be there. Oh, be there.

[telephone beeping]

[intense music]

[grunts] Oh!

[Laura] Are you kidding?

If you go public with this information, you are dead.

It's the only option I have left.

You heard what they're gonna do to Gary.

What makes you think they're going to spare you?

Mack's Wolfbridge files are pretty convincing.

I'm not worried about you convincing anyone.

Remember what I said about compromise?

They're alright as long as the good outweigh the bad.

Right now, the balance has shifted in favor of the bad.

You're such a louse.

I'm an absolute fool for caring what happens to you.

Then you're going to stay.

No.

-Barbara. -Mrs. McKenzie, it's late.

[Mack] Barbara, that's alright. Thank you, Barbara.

I know you're not gonna wanna listen to me.

I don't.

You're gonna think this is just another one

of my speeches, but it's not.

My brother Joe called from New York.

Yeah, it's cold in New York.

Mack, you've got to stop what you're doing.

They're gonna k*ll you. They don't care.

-Karen. -Let me explain, Mack.

I'm tired of you explaining. You understand--

-Mark St. Claire came to see me! -What?

Yesterday, at the house.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

He told me four things were gonna happen.

Diana was gonna cancel lunch, and she did.

Casey Hale was gonna go home early, and he did.

Then Joe called. That was the third.

The fourth is they're gonna k*ll you, Mack.

Don't you understand the other three things have--

Karen, I want you to think real hard.

-What did he say exactly? -[Karen] Are you crazy?

They've got Gary. Th-they're hiding Gary somewhere.

-[Mack] Is that what he said? -They're gonna k*ll you, Mack.

-That's great. -You are crazy.

That's great. Don't you understand?

He's desperate.

He's panicked.

[dramatic music]

[intense music]

Aren't you going to stick around to find out

what happens to Gary?

I don't think so.

I had another talk with Detective Morrison this morning.

-What did he say? -Not much.

There are other things I have to face, too.

Even if Gary was here, he wouldn't come back to me.

I'm just thankful for the time I had with him.

Yeah, but the two of you--

Oh, it was never just the two of us.

So I think it's time for me to carry on.

-I envy you, you know? -Why?

Well, just being able to pick up and leave like that.

You know, cut yourself off.

You know who I think he's really in love with

and doesn't realize it?

Valene.

Anyway, I'm finally free of Ray.

I thought that was gonna be the happiest day of my life.

Are you going to leave an address?

There's been so much for me here.

I'll never forget it.

Well, where are you gonna go?

I don't know.

Maybe Alaska.

I hear it's the land of opportunities.

[Abby on recorder] Tell me.

Come on.

You don't have to be coy with me.

You're more than a lawyer for Wolfbridge, aren't you?

Come on. You can tell me.

[Mark on recorder] I'm more than a lawyer for Wolfbridge.

It's not enough.

It's the most I could get.

You've got to push him harder.

We're running out of time.

Look, I'm taking Gary out of the hotel at 3:30.

Going to cross the lobby and through the main entrance.

Alright, I'll-I'll tell St. Claire.

Or rather, I'll let him know in my own subtle way.

You've got to get him to say something

that connects him unmistakably

with the next m*rder attempt.

I will.

Abby, the most important thing for you,

as soon as you get what you need,

you get away from St. Claire.

You take a bus or train, I don't care how you do it,

but you get away from St. Claire.

I need you alive and well in the courtroom for testimony.

[sighs] I know.

One wrong move, you're in a lot of trouble.

Don't you think I know that?

It's funny, isn't it?

I never thought we'd end up on the same team.

If I'd had my way, we probably wouldn't have.

Good luck.

Be careful.

Yes, I'm positive.

It's Gary Ewing.

Bungalow eight.

He's alone now, but the other one will be back soon.

The blonde lady came by earlier.

Uh-huh.

I'll tell you as soon as I know.

You're welcome, Mr. St. Claire.

[Abby] I came as soon as I found out.

Why did Mack tell you?

I think he wanted me to help him.

I think that he thought as soon as I found out Gary was alive--

Very stupid on his part.

[sighs] You know, I...

I thought Gary loved me.

I thought I loved him, too, at one point,

but he couldn't very well have loved me

if he'd do something like this.

I mean, I was at his funeral.

Exactly what did Mack say?

He wanted me to meet Gary.

It's a trap, though. I'm sure of it.

-Where? -[sighs]

I think that they're gonna try and connect me

with the m*rder attempt.

That way, Lotus Point will never be finished.

That's what they really want, you know.

Where are you supposed to meet him?

[sighs] I don't wanna lose Lotus Point.

It means more to me now than it ever has.

Where?

The Belmar Hotel. In the lobby.

At... 3:30 this afternoon.

We'll take care of it.

What does that mean?

We failed the first time

because of an incorrect identification.

We won't make the same mistake twice.

Mrs. Ewing.

I'd like to take you to the Belmar Hotel.

No, I-I don't, uh, want to see him.

I want to make sure everything goes right.

I'll be damned if I'll let anyone make a fool of me.

I think we both should be there.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct chatter on TV]

May I have your attention, please?

Due to the sensitive nature of his announcement,

Assemblyman Sumner is not prepared

to release for you today.

However, he will be here in a few minutes

to make a very important statement.

Mrs. Ewing, I always keep my promises.

If you want to see Gary, just do as I tell you.

Just do as I tell you.

Go to the Belmar Hotel.

Make sure you get there within a half hour

or it'll be too late.

Mack McKenzie's jeep will be parked in front of the hotel.

Get in the driver's seat and wait.

When you see Gary running toward you,

start the engine. He'll get in the jeep with you.

Drive away immediately.

The hair, the hair. Watch the hair, watch the hair.

Let's hope you don't need this.

-There's still time to back out. -Yeah, I know.

-If there's any doubt-- -Mack...

If I wanted to back out, I would've done it

a hell of a lot sooner than this.

I just hope you know what you're doing.

[Mark] Karen, this is Mark St. Claire .

I talked to Mack, we started to discuss it.

[Mark] You've obviously failed.

Well, I'm-I'm meeting him again tonight and uh, I'm sure

I-I can convince him.

-Tonight will be too late. - [Karen] Mr. St. Claire...

Look, just-just give me a little more time.

-[Mark] You have a half hour. -A half hour? No!

Listen to me. Li... You've gotta listen to me.

[Mark] Mack will be leaving the Belmar Hotel.

There's a b*mb planted in Mack's jeep.

You have a half hour to save him.

Gary will be with Mack and you can't...

...k*ll Gary unless you get him by himself.

Karen will run in and beg Mack not to get into his jeep

because of the b*mb, Gary will see Val in the jeep,

run out to save her and then you can get a clear shot at him.

Mm.

Barbara, this is important. It's an emergency.

Put Mack on the phone right now.

When? When did he leave?

[dramatic music]

Assemblyman, your announcement uh, wouldn't have anything to do

with the Wolfbridge Group, would it?

We'll you'll find that out the same time as the rest.

With your own personal involvement

with the Wolfbridge Group?

You'll hear that also.

How about your involvement with the Gary Ewing m*rder?

Listen, Ben, you don't wanna start

a personal smear campaign against me.

You just damaged a lot of innocent people.

You'll come off looking like a fool.

You should relax.

Your friend Mack McKenzie's about to become a hero.

But I'm gonna get you.

And I don't care if it's the last thing I ever do.

You'll be standing in a long line.

[indistinct chatter]

Ladies and gentlemen,

I come before you humbly

with one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make.

It has just come to my attention

through, uh, Crime Commissioner Mack McKenzie,

that one of our state's most successful

and respected business conglomerates,

the Wolfbridge Group,

has been party to widespread

and vicious criminal activity.

Commissioner McKenzie has compiled

one of the most devastating files of criminal activity

based of Wolfbridge Group's own documents. ..

...that I have ever seen.

I'll be going to the District Attorney's office

to seek criminal indictments against the Wolfbridge Group.

I'd like to congratulate Mack McKenzie on his work

and I'm sure I speak for all of us

when I say that we owe Mack McKenzie

a huge debt of gratitude.

For me, however, the hosannas are muted.

It saddens me to say that the Wolfbridge Group

has been one of the major contributors

to my senatorial campaign.

I did not, however, have any knowledge

of their activities as outlined

by Commissioner McKenzie.

I come before you in all humility

and I ask your forgiveness

and beg your forbearance.

[dramatic music]

[intense music]

[music intensifies]

[dramatic music]

-Karen, get out of here! -Mack. Mack!

-You can't go out there. -Get out of here!

Listen... There's a b*mb in your car.

You can't go out there. There's a b*mb in your car.

There's a b*mb in your car.

-[g*nsh*t] -[crowd screaming]

[intense music]

Valene! Val! Get out of the car!

-Gary! -[engine revs]

Val! Get out of the car!

Valene! Get out!

-[Gary] Val! -Drop it!

-Gary! -Val, get out, get out!

-Come on, move. Move! -Gary! No!

Gary! Gary!

Gary! Gar...

-Gary! -Abby!

[Gary] Abby!

[dramatic music]

[Gary] Abby!

[music continues]

Abby!

[panting]

[crying heavily]

[melancholic music]

I got 'em, Karen.

Oh, Karen.

I got them, Karen.

[Mack] I got them.

Oh, Karen.

I got 'em.

Karen.
