She comes over, picks up the phone.

MOSELLE:

Hello?

(hands it to Maurice)

For you.

MAURICE:

(takes it)

This is me.

EXT. PHONE BOOTH - GAS STATION - NIGHT

An antsy Glenn with his shades on talks on the phone.

GLENN:

Snoopy. Glenn Michaels.

INTERCUTTING GLENN & MAURICE:

MAURICE:

Studs. Hey, son, you must be one a

them psychic friends. I was just

thinkin' about you.

Glenn watches as some guy in a suit gets out of a black Lincoln

Town Car and jogs to the john.

GLENN:

Listen, Snoopy, I'm on my way up to

Detroit and need a place to crash.

MAURICE:

You crazy, come up here? It's f***in

one degree outside.

GLENN:

I wanna talk to you about a job.

MAURICE:

Uh-huh.

GLENN:

I can't really go into it right now.

I'll just tell you it's someone big.

MAURICE:

Someone? Gimme a hint.

GLENN:

It's a guy you know.

MAURICE:

Gimme another hint.

GLENN:

It's Richard Ripley.

Maurice doesn't say a word.

GLENN (CONT'D)

You there?

MAURICE:

Oh, I'm here, all right. I'm very here.

Question is, why aren't you here?

EXT. BUDDY'S APARTMENT - SOMEWHERE IN FLORIDA - NIGHT

As Foley and Buddy hurry up the front steps.

FOLEY:

I'm just saying she wasn't scared.

BUDDY:

Cause she had her hand on her gun the

whole time, waiting to make her move.

Buddy opens the door, looks at Foley.

FOLEY:

You're just jealous it was me in the

trunk with her and not you.

BUDDY:

You're right.

INT. BUDDY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

A "hideout." Not much in the way of furnishings. Foley follows

Buddy inside, watches as he bolts the door.

FOLEY:

First thing I'm gonna do is get all

this mud off me.

Foley starts for the bathroom.

FOLEY (CONT'D)

I've been dreaming about a hot bath

for the last six months. Soak the prison

off me.

BUDDY:

There's some lilac oil, you want some,

a vanilla candle under the sink.

FOLEY:

Oh, man.

BUDDY:

There's something about a nice hot

bath, transforms a person. It's not

just about opening up your pores, know

what I mean? There's just something

about the heat and the wet that's

calming you know? Settles me in a way

that I really can't articulate.

FOLEY:

I know exactly what you mean. It's

just a feeling.

(beat)

You know, I could go for some wine

tonight.

BUDDY:

There's a store around the corner,

I'll be right back.

FOLEY:

Sounds great.

Foley goes into the bathroom. A moment later WE HEAR THE BATH

RUNNING.

INT. APARTMENT HALLWAY - DAY

As Buddy leaves the apartment, starts down the hall, KAREN STEPS

INTO FRAME, watches as he disappears down the stairs. Gun drawn,

she then moves towards the apartment.

INT. BATHROOM - DAY

As Foley undresses, picks up a candle off the sink and smells

it. He notices his nude image in the mirror and checks himself

out.

INT. APARTMENT - DAY

As Karen slips the door. She looks around, HEARS THE WATER

RUNNING.

She racks the slide on her gun, snicks off the safety and starts

for the bathroom. Suddenly, the water is turned off. She stops

where she is. She then moves a careful step at a time towards

the open doorway.

Gradually the tub comes into view, beginning with Foley's feet

resting crossed on the other end, then the middle of the tub,

then she's in the doorway, looking down at...

Foley, lying there in the tub, his eyes closed. Karen cuts her

eyes down the length of him, taking a moment here to check him

out, long enough for Foley to open his eyes and grab her hand,

the one holding the gun.

FOLEY:

Hey.

They look at each other a moment. He then pulls her down to

him and kisses her. She kisses him back. He then pulls her

into the tub with him as we now hear...

MARSHALL SISCO (VO)

Karen...?

CUT TO:
KAREN

As she opens her eyes.

KAREN:

What?

REVEAL:
A HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

Flowers everywhere. Karen -- bruises on her face -- lies in

bed. Her father, Marshall, sits on the chair beside her.

MARSHALL:

You were talking in your sleep.

KAREN:

(beat)

What'd I say?

MARSHALL:

"Hey, yourself."

KAREN:

Huh.

We hear A KNOCK at the door. They look to where Special Agent

DANIEL BURDON -- black, forties, expensive suit -- stands in

the doorway, file in one hand.

KAREN (CONT'D)

Hello, Daniel.

BURDON:

(to Marshall)

Daniel Burdon, FBI.

MARSHALL:

Marshall Sisco. Karen's dad.

BURDON:

You mind please waiting outside. We

have some business to do here.

Marshall looks at him a moment. Then, to Karen...

MARSHALL:

I need to go to the john anyway.

Burdon waits for Marshall to walk out, then sits down.

KAREN:

I wanna be on the task force, Daniel.

BURDON:

That's nice of you to offer, Karen,

but I got all the help I can use right

now. Instead, let's talk about how

you got the bump on your head.

KAREN:

(indicates file)

Isn't that my report you're holding

onto?

BURDON:

Yes, but I want to hear you tell it.

Starting with when you tried to grab

the wheel -- where was this?

KAREN:

Coming to the Okeechobee exit...

And now we see it...

INSIDE THE CAR:

Going over a hundred miles per hour, blowing past cars...

KAREN:

Take the next exit.

GLENN:

What am I supposed to do now?

KAREN:

Glenn, take the exit.

GLENN:

No way, man, no f***in' way am I gonna

turn myself in.

She reaches over and grabs the wheel.

GLENN (CONT'D)

The f*** are you doing?!

He hits the brakes. The car goes off the road, down the grade,

the abutment coming right at us as we go back to...

THE HOSPITAL ROOM

As Burdon sets the file down, sits back now.

KAREN:

The next thing I knew, the paramedics

were taking me out the car.

Burdon looks at Karen a moment, then...

BURDON:

There's a couple of points I keep

wondering about have to do with the

two guys that grabbed you. Buddy is

it? And this fella Jack Foley. I

swear the man must've robbed two hundred

banks in his time.

KAREN:

Really? Huh. He told me he didn't

remember how many he robbed.

BURDON:

You talked to him?

KAREN:

In the trunk, yeah?

BURDON:

What'd you talk about?

KAREN:

Oh... different things, prison, movies.

BURDON:

This fella holds you hostage, you talk

about movies?

KAREN:

It was an unusual experience.

BURDON:

Foley made me think of that fella Carl

Tillman, the one you were seeing, it

turns out the same time he was doing

banks. You recall that?

KAREN:

When I was seeing Carl Tillman, I didn't

know he robbed banks.

BURDON:

Yeah, but I had enough reason to believe

he did, and I told you. So you had to

at least suspect him.

KAREN:

And what happened to Carl?

BURDON:

The time came, you shot him. But you

didn't shoot Foley or the guy with

him. They're unarmed, you had a shotgun

and you let them throw you in the trunk.

Okay, now you got your Sig in your

hand. You say in the report you

couldn't turn around, he had you pinned

down. But when the trunk opened, how

come you didn't cap the two guys then?

KAREN:

Is that what you would've done?

BURDON:

You say in the report Glenn didn't

have a gun, but you let him get away,

too.

KAREN:

Daniel, what do you work on most of

the time, fraud? Go after crooked

bookkeepers.

BURDON:

Karen, I've been with the Bureau fifteen

years, on all kinds of investigations.
