on you with this, huh?

- You mean the Attorney General's office.

- Right.

- Who said I was talkin' to them?

- You just did.

- You think you're pretty smart, don't you?

- Nope. Just average for a country boy.

- Did you notify the fugitive's next of kin?

- They're not a priority on my list.

What exactly is a priority on your list?

Bringing these fugitives to justice.

My hunch is

they're more pawns than fugitives.

It seems to me your hunches are more

like a Hardy Boys mystery than real life.

And I think that

you are spittin' in the wind.

And you know what they say

about spittin' in the wind.

It can blow back in your face.

- Come on. Hurry up, man.

- I'm fixing him so he won't fall over.

Pop the brake.

- Come on, before somebody sees us.

- All right. Ready? One, two, three.

Push.

Sh*t!

What the hell's wrong with you, kid?

You almost got yourself killed.

Forget that. Why do you guys

have those chains on?

Go on, beat it. You bother me.

- Son of a b*tch. They did it!

- What?

They built a recreational centre

and a playground.

- Who?

- Brigantine International.

- That's who I hit for the $25 million.

- You said five, you lyin' SOB.

When I was in their computer system,

I hit 'em for 25.

But I only kept five.

I gave 20 to charity. Like this.

Sh*t! That's nice, Robin Hood,

but we gotta fled. Come on.

Don't do anything stupid!

- It's OK. Just drive.

- Look, guys.

I have groceries in the back

and about $20.

- Take it and get out.

- You don't tell us. We tell you.

Come on. Put that away. All right?

We don't want your money or your car.

We just want a ride.

- Let's go! Drive.

- All right. All right.

- Where to?

- I don't know.

- Where do you live?

- Three blocks that way.

- OK. We'll go there.

- My house?

- Let's go!

- All right, all right!

But I'm warning you, it's messy.

- Excuse me.

- Hi.

- Workin' hard as usual, Jocelyn?

- Well, not as usual.

And what are you doin' here?

Got a problem with your insurance?

No. I'm here tryin' to figure something out.

- What are you tryin' to figure out?

- Well, I busted this kid, name of Dodge,

for hackin' into

a telephone company's computer system.

They've also listed a bunch of

other companies and different offences.

He used the phone company's computer

to get into other companies' systems.

That's what I figured. But these people

here, Brigantine International,

they didn't list any offences,

nor did they press charges.

- Let me check on Central's computer.

- That would be wonderful.

Someone else accessed

this information today.

- Who was that?

- Savannah Detective Agency.

According to this,

they're a holding company

for corporations with offshore accounts

in Europe and South America.

Can you figure out on that thing

who owns Brigantine International?

The primary stockholder

is a Frank Mantajano.

- Manta-hano.

- Whatever.

Beautiful vessel, isn't she?

- Would you like a drink?

- No. I don't drink.

Tobacco?

I want to congratulate you on your...

Chinese cooking.

I enjoy my work.

We want to commission you

to do another job.

We want you to locate Luke Dodge,

a convict that escaped

from a Georgia prison today.

We need to find him before Monday.

He has a computer disk

that belongs to us.

All of our accounting information

is on that disk.

We want you to retrieve the disk,

then terminate him.

We have a contact in Atlanta

that will provide you with a lead

as to where Luke Dodge might go to first.

It's only for information, Santiago.

He won't get in your way.

It's done.

- Where do you want these?

- In the kitchen.

What a chivalrous convict.

You got something

to cut these cuffs with?

Under the sink.

- Hold the chain.

- All right, all right. Easy.

- Where are you goin'?

- To the bathroom. Do you mind?

- Yes, I do. Wait a minute.

- What?

Didn't you see "The Godfather"?

The restaurant scene when Michael blows

everybody's freakin' head off. Forget it.

Go ahead. It's OK.

Thank you.

- What is your problem, man?

- What the hell's goin' on with you two?

First the thing with the gun, now you're

carrying groceries, speaking Spanish...

And then this. Are you a Boy Scout now?

Just cos I been locked up

don't mean I got no manners.

You don't bust into somebody's home

and tell 'em what to do.

She could be in the other room

callin' the cops.

Hold on.

Come on!

I thought you two bandidos

might need a new disguise.

My ex-husband was about your size.

But you...

You might be a little too small for this.

They smell like mothballs because they

were packed away for a very long time.

But they will certainly smell better

than what you have on.

Jesus. What is it?

Thank you.

Where did you get a key for the cuffs?

My ex-husband.

He's a cop.

I wonder what it feels like to want to be

a politician and not hold office.

Like a cop without a job.

I talked to Schiller. You ain't makin'

any friends mouthin' off.

Well, I'm not tryin' to make any friends.

I'm tryin' to do my job.

Oh, yeah? What job might that be?

Say, where are you goin'?

Let me talk to you for a second.

Why do you think the Attorney General

and a US marshal are involved in this?

They're following orders from superiors -

which you can't seem to do.

Would you listen for a sec?

Warden Nichols said the Attorney General

had Dodge placed on that road crew.

Plus, Dodge hacked into Brigantine

International's computer system.

- Why don't we have a record of it?

- Because the key stockholder

is a Frank Mantajano, who is currently

under indictment by the Attorney General.

So?

So whatever Dodge discovered

inside their computer system,

they wanna keep it secret.

Great police work. Maybe I can

get you assigned to the Hoffa case next!

Henry!

Are you outta your f***in' mind?

Blanks. Found 'em on the road

where Dodge escaped. Police issue.

It's all right. It's OK.

Listen. I don't have all the pieces

to the puzzle yet, but just think about it.

Dodge makes off with $25 million

of Mantajano's money

and the corporation

doesn't press charges.

This is evidence. Did you tell Schiller?

My guess is he knows. He had Dodge

put on that road so he'd run.

But things went sour. People died.

So Schiller wants this out of the press.

- What the hell does that prove?

- What it proves, right,

is that Dodge has something big

on Mantajano

and the Attorney General wants it bad.

Now, I have got a hunch,

and I need an old friend to turn his back

for 24 hours so I can play it out.

OK, you got 24 hours. Not a minute more.

And, Matthew,

you f*** this up,

friend or no friend, it's your ass.

I know, Henry. Believe me, I know.

So where'd you meet your husband?

Well...

I was sneaking across the border

and he caught me.

So he deported me back to Mexico.

But he asked me for my phone number.

So first, he started calling.

Then visiting.

Then we fell in love and got married.

And he brought me to the States.

First to California.

And then we moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
