sofisticated security system,

as he pulled off one of the most

daring escapes in the city history.

Wanted in connection with the murder of exotic

dancer Sharon Miller on the night of october 15th,

Hudson is considered armed and dangerous.

In other news Bobo the beloved clown

who had entertained children of all ages ...

I'm not David Hudson, you know?

Plastic surgery to make me look like him.

Good.

Now I feel better about starting to like you.

- Aren't you even gonna ask me who I am?

- You're Sam Ruben aren't you?

I had a feeling the last time you were here,

But when you started asking

questions about yourself ...

I got a little messed up,

being shot in the head and all.

Could you turn that up please?

The stars gather last night at the Pavillion

to honour Randall Stern,

known as "Friend in Need",

as he received his second

"Hollywood Humanitarian of The Year" award.

Humble as always

he commented only by saying:

I was only doing what anyone

in my position would have done.

- F***ing a**hole.

- You know Randall Stern?

Thru David ... he used to brag about

making a snuff film for some rich guy

I always thought it was Stern.

Stern is the one who hired me to find David.

- The one who wanted him dead.

- Figures.

David also bragged about

arranging for a secret camera

to tape the scene from a different angle,

showing the mens faces

that participated on the killing.

Angela, you know where that tape might be?

No. But it could be at the dungeon.

Angela, did you know the girl?

I knew that one of David's girl was missing.

I always thought it was her.

- Was her name Lopez?

- Virginia Lopez.

And I think she would have agree to do it

even if she knew what was coming to her.

Did you ever talked to David about it?

I asked him about her once.

He said he could always arrange for me

to star in his next production.

- You've done it?

- No. I don't think I would.

Not now anyway.

- What did you tell him?

- That I lost the keys.

I'm still David Hudson remember?

Thank god the old man doesn't watch TV.

I think that's where the other camera is hidden.

A couple of VCR's in the back room.

- Nothing?

- Nothing.

Guess that's that.

Let's get the hell out of here.

To tell you the truth

this place gives me the creeps.

- What is that?

- What?

- Do you mind if I take some of this stuff?

- Be my guest.

- Where are we going to next?

- You're going home.

Me, I have something I gotta do.

Do you mind if I use your

cell phone for a minute?

Hi buddy it's Sam Ruben.

To quote the reports of my demise

I ask you is that the way to talk about the dead?

I assume my credit is still good right?

Good. I'll stop by to pick up

some stuff in an hour, OK?

Great, see you then.

What was that all about?

Survival.

Yes sir?

I need to get into my safe deposit box please.

- Name on the account please?

- Rupert King.

I will need to see some ID, sir.

This way sir.

No more Mr. niceguy.

What the f***! Sh*t!

Get the hell out of here!

Come on come on.

Man, step on it!

I need to speak to detective Riley please.

Who should I say is calling?

Tell him it's David Hudson.

- You've seen the video?

- I've seen it.

- We've got the deal?

- You've got the deal.

The DA has agreed to dismiss all

pending and potential charges

against Rupert King, alias David Hudson,

in exchange for your testimony

against Randall Stern.

The DA is also offering

to provide you with a brand new identity

thru the witness protection program.

- I'd rather stay who I am.

- Are you sure?

With the evidence you gave us we'll put

Randall Stern away for a long time.

But his money reaches far behind prison walls.

Being David Hudson aka Rupert King

is not going to be easy.

I'll take my chances.

- OK, so that's that.

- You don't seem to happy about it.

I'm never happy letting

a piece of sh*t like you walk.

Both of us know you helped Stern kill that girl.

How do you live with yourself?

What if I told you I'm a changed man?

That David Hudson you want dead is dead?

I don't buy that.

We can only change our outer appearance.

We can never change who we are.

Riley?

Coming from you that's almost profound.

Hudson!

May you rot in hell.

I'm sure sooner or later we all will.

Hi folks, this is Anthony Lopez

and here's whats happening:

Randall Stern, an humanitarian killer

was convicted yesterday of first degree murder.

According to most legal experts

maximum penalty is expected.

Detective Riley, who solved the case

had this to say:

There comes a time

in every policeman's life when ...

- Sam?

- Yes?

I'll always be who I am.

You know that.

I wouldn't blame you

if you didn't want me arround.

Do you really think we can make it?

Right now,

I'm just trying to make it out of the city.
