I was just talking

to the teacher, that's all.

Yeah. Don't laugh.

Okay. I'm proud of you.

Keep going.

I'm sorry Zach's late.

The car wouldn't start.

You be a good boy.

I love you.

Hi, champ.

Oh!

What's the matter?

Oh, no.

I fell down again.

Hey, wait a minute.

Uh...

I forgot to close the door

to the basement...

and Zach had a bad fall.

You all say the same thing,

"He fell down."

Don't you have

anything better to say?

I don't have to

justify myself to you!

You have no right

talking to me like that.

How are you doing?

You must be the Mr. Kimble

we hear so much about.

You hit the kid, I hit you.

You bastard!

You're not worth it.

I'm pressing charges against you.

Excuse me, everybody.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have hit the man...

especially in front of the children.

It was a mistake.

I checked you out.

There is no record of you

ever having taught

at any public school...

in California

or anywhere else.

Mr. Kimble...

you have no teaching experience

whatsoever, do you?

Someone finally noticed.

I thought

the introduction of a ferret

was a horrible idea...

but the children

seemed to like it.

I thought the use of your police whistle

was outrageous...

That's all I could think of.

Please allow me to finish.

- Sorry.

- But it worked.

I have no idea what kind

of police officer you are...

but you're a very good teacher.

Thank you.

Now, will you tell me something?

Don't lie.

What did it feel like

to hit that son of a b*tch?

It felt great.

Yeah.

Well, tomorrow morning.

Bright and early.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's her.

And there goes

our goddamn case.

Tell O'Hara and Kimble

their witness is dead...

so Crisp is going to walk.

We want them back here.

We've got lots

of other cases to clear.

O'Hara says they think

they've located the wife.

And the money?

They're looking into it.

Have them tell the wife

we're letting Crisp go,

and he knows where she is.

If she wants police protection,

she'll produce the money.

Sorry it took so long, Cullen.

Hey, you're looking great.

I love you, Mother.

We're going to be

a family again, son.

Go!

Fourscore and seven years ago

Fourscore and seven years ago

our forefathers brought forth

on this continent

our forefathers brought forth

on this continent

a new nation

a new nation

conceived in liberty

conceived in liberty

and dedicated

to the proposition

and dedicated

to the proposition

that all men

are created equal

that all men

are created equal

and that government

and that government

of the people

by the people

and for the people

shall not perish

from this earth.

Thank you very much.

Oh!

I'd like to introduce you

to our kindergarten teacher.

He came to us

as a substitute teacher...

and he's proven to be

a wonderful asset.

Let's welcome him

into our community

and hope that he considers

staying on a permanent basis.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Mr. John Kimble.

Nice town.

Hmm.

Ahh! Smell that fresh air.

We should think about

buying something up here...

like some log cabin

in the woods near a lake.

Kids love

that outdoor kind of stuff.

I'll be in the pharmacy.

Try not to step in anything.

I'd like to help you.

But we're pretty much

out of the race cars...

unless...

This is the last one.

It's still in great shape.

If you don't mind waiting,

I'll wrap it up.

I'll knock 10% off...

I have a better idea.

I'll pay you twice

what he's charging.

I promised my boy

I'd get him one.

I'd love to help you...

but my kid's been bugging me

since Christmas.

I'll pay you four times

what it's worth.

Get your kid

something even better.

Sorry.

Can you gift-wrap it?

Hanna, could you

wrap that, please?

No harm in trying.

Tourists.

Great, Dominic.

You're doing well.

I'll wait over here for you, okay?

Okay.

Great day, huh?

We've run out of time.

We've got to press Joyce now.

What do you mean?

- Cindy O.D.'d last night.

- Sh*t.

They released Crisp this morning.

He's probably on his way here.

Salazar said if Joyce

is Crisp's wife...

she's got to cooperate

about the money...

or she gets no police protection.

Bastard.

Ursula, how are you?

What?

I've got to tell you the truth.

Her name's not Ursula.

She's not my sister.

I beg your pardon?

We're not who you think we are.

What is this?

We're police officers.

We know who you are...

Rachel.

This is a joke, right?

No. This is no joke.

You took $3 million.

I think...

Crisp knows where you are.

He could be here any minute.

Where's Dominic?

You'll get immunity

for your testimony...

but we need you to help us.

Where's Dominic?

On a pony.

We'll offer protection

if you tell us about the money.

There's no money,

you son of a b*tch.

There never was!

No, it's not fair!

I'm not finished yet!

The bad people

have found us again.

What do you mean, "no money"?

Why are you mad at Mr. Kimble?

Because he's a jerk.

- Please, let me help...

- Leave me alone!

Joyce, wait!

Wait!

If you didn't take the money...

why is he after you?

He doesn't want me.

He wants Dominic.

She's going to run again.

Yeah.

Unless we do something about it.

Yeah.

Hey, snap out of it!

Daryl. Daryl.

I'm sorry. I wanted to give you

a second chance.

200, cash.

What is wrong with you?

I'm still not getting

through to you, am I, Daryl?

Mother, got this great surprise

for Junior.

That'll be 57.90.

57.90.

Children's aspirin,

children's decongestant...

antihistamine.

A thermometer?

A lot of flu

going around, right?

It is the season.

The boy's not sick.

Doesn't hurt to take precautions.

Mother, you are going

to make him sick.

You stuffed all this crap into me,

and nothing was wrong.

That's why there was

nothing wrong with you.

Now, how can you

argue with that?

Joyce!

Joyce! Dominic!

You bastard!

Where's Dominic?

I don't know.

What happened?

You led him here.

If he has Dominic, I'll kill you.

Let go of me!

We'll find him. Stop it.

We'll find him.

We'll find him.

Dominic!

Did he say anything

before he left?

He said something

about getting his lasers.

Lasers? I think

I know where he is.

Aah! Help!

Help! Help!

Somebody!

Help!

Hold on!

I'll get him down.

Help!

Hold on. I'm right here.

Good boy.

All right. Just hold on.

Okay. Just hold on.

Oh, good. Okay.

I was going to put the lasers

in the antenna.

I know. Don't worry

about anything now.

I got you.

Just hold on tight now.

Hold on tight, okay?

Good.

If I lost Dominic...

I don't think

I could go on living.

You're not going to lose him.

That's right. I'm not.

Cullen said I stole his money

so these creeps would

follow us for a reward.

You don't know what he's like.

Oh, yes, I do.

I know him well.

That's why I don't

want him to get you two.

Can't trust you or anybody.

You can trust me.

That's what you said before.

And you turned out to be a cop.

L...

I didn't mean

to hurt you.

I wish I was

a kindergarten teacher...
