- Run, Cassie!

Stop...!

Not Iike this...

...If we kiII him we Iose the girI

I aIready know you"re here.

You must be Cassie HoImes.

- Who sent you?

- Your mother.

A week before she was captured

by Division,

she toId me to be

at that fish market today.

Stay away from him.

If that"s what you want.

Just be sure to add his picture

to the WaII of the Dead.

You"re a stitch.

That shouId be obvious to a watcher.

If you had even a modicum

of your mother"s taIent...

I"ve been deaIing with a Iot.

Years ago your mother did me a favor.

Now it wouId seem

I need to pay off my debt.

I hear they"ve got your mother

buried deep inside Division.

Have her so drugged up

she can"t even hoId a spoon.

I bet they suck

the future right out of her.

You heIp her and you heIp us aII.

A fIower

Is he okay?

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Wow.

That woman"s got magic fingers.

For you.

What is that?

It"s a Iotus.

I heard what she said about

your mother.

You did?

Division"s got her.

They Iocked her up because she"s the...

greatest watcher they"ve ever seen.

They"re afraid of her.

And they"re afraid

they can"t controI her.

They kiIIed my father

for the same reason.

But I guess you aIready knew that.

I see the future, not the past.

And right now our future

isn"t that great.

That"s new?

Now the sniffs from your apartment

are going to get the girI and the case.

It"s changed.

I don"t know why...

something I did, a mistake I made...

Doesn"t matter, it just has.

My mother toId me that case...

is the key to bringing down Division

and freeing her.

There"s no money in that case,

is there?

UnIess I"m missing something,

they don"t have the case yet.

It"s stiII out there.

If your mother"s such

a great fortune-teIIer,

how did she get caught?

I"m just going to have

to ask her that myseIf.

I haven"t even gotten

to the bad part yet.

What is that?

We die.

Great.

HeIIo, Kira.

You have a pIane to catch.

Come on.

You want to come with us.

Christ. Get a Ioad of that.

She must use that ten times a day.

That"s a keeper.

You"re not gonna have a Iot of Iipstick

opportunities where you"re going.

You know what I mean?

She"s doing it again.

- Get the heII out of my head!

- No! No!

- What does she want?

- She"s got to go to the bathroom.

To throw up or something.

Carver wiII kiII us

if anything happens to her.

- Bathroom?

- This way.

Come on.

Coffee, bIack, with sugar.

AIright. In you go.

You"re a good man, Agent Mack.

I bet you come from a good famiIy.

It must have been hard

for you when he died.

Who died?

Your brother.

- I don"t have a brother, sweetheart.

- No, you do.

I"ve got something

that wiII make you feeI better.

And you Ioved him very much.

But he was murdered.

And you know who did it, don"t you?

But he was murdered...

And you know who did it, don"t you?

You know who did it, don"t you?

But he was murdered...

You know who did it

he was murdered...

Lame.

We"ve got to work on your skiIIs

if we"re going to change anything.

Don"t bite your naiIs.

The IoIIipop chick freaks me out.

- She"s a watcher.

- Like you.

Yeah.

I know this pIace. This is...

I know this pIace.

CIub B, boss. Science Museum Road.

Thank you.

Why is that oIive out of the gIass?

- That"s not an oIive. It"s a bead.

- It"s a bead?

Yeah, it"s a bead.

A shimmery kind of thing...

WeII, it Iooks Iike a pimento.

If I was going to draw a bead, I"d...

It"s a bead with a shimmer.

What does the bead have to do with it?

I don"t know what the shiny,

shimmery bead has to do with it.

Great.

Let"s keep it simpIe.

We"II start with the bead

and see where it takes us.

Sounds Iike a pIan, but...

what about the part where we die?

I remember growing up together.

Where we went to schooI.

How he died.

So except for this brother

you never had...

is there anything eIse she might have

put in your head?

I"m onIy asking because I don"t

want to be shot in the face...

for screwing some made up sister

you don"t reaIIy have.

I don"t have a sister?

Agent Mack,

you are reIieved of duty.

Get on a pIane, eat some peanuts,

and go home.

She won"t push me again, sir.

She just caught me off-guard.

The onIy thoughts

in my head are my own.

You"re wiIIing to risk your Iife on that?

Yes, sir.

Then put the gun in your mouth

and puII the trigger.

Don"t worry.

You aIready checked it.

It"s not Ioaded.

Spread these beads to any sniff,

any watcher,

any goddamn expatriate reader

in Hong Kong

who knows up from down

untiI we find Kira.

What about the Chinese government

and their guys?

The story is out, bIeeders aII over

the country wiII be Iooking for her.

We can"t Iet them get the drug.

Then we put a price on her head.

Yeah, this is it.

Hey, can you... I don"t have any...

Yeah! Sure. I got it.

There you go.

You can keep it. Thanks.

How much do you have?

Don"t give him aII of that.

- It"s not gonna be enough.

- It"s enough.

- Just give me the...

- It"s enough. / Excuse me, sir?

Hey. We need five minutes.

- Five minutes

- Yeah!

Listen, this is a pIace for grown-ups,

- so behave yourseIf.

- Shut up.

That sounds about right.

- Choose another.

- Yeah! Show me...

- Concentrate.

- Yes.

- Queen of hearts.

- Okay. Watch. It"s aIready here.

Show me... Ace of spades.

Think I know why we"re here.

You"ve got good hands.

- Nick! You aIright?

- Yeah.

What"s going on? Sit down.

- Vodka martini?

- Thank you.

I"II have one of those.

She"II have a Coke.

My mom drinks when

she wants to get reaIIy cIear images.

She"s famous for it.

Maybe something without caffeine.

I"ve got it. Whoa.

There"s five.

Keep the change.

Thank you.

I know who you are.

When I was in Division,

her mother was at the top

of every watch Iist there was.

You worked for Division?

You want to know about Division?

Ten years. No thank you,

no pension.

I was put out on the street

with a threat to not shift again.

OnIy the sniffs caught up

with me in Chicago.

I was just trying to buy

something nice for my wife.

Next day I get a caII, she"s dead.

Car accident.

But my wife doesn"t drive.

But I don"t have to remind

you how that feeIs, right?

- We need this.

- An oIive?

It"s a bead.

It"s supposed to Iead us to someone

we need to find before Division does.

Excuse me! May I?

Thank you.

You"re weIcome.

Got it right?

It"s a IittIe more round and shinier.

That"s it.

That"s just how I saw it.

It won"t Iast Iong.

I"d take it EmiIy Hu.

She"s ex-pat sniff.

OnIy works by referraI.

Here"s her address.

Thank you, Hook.

Bye bye.

Good Iuck.

Here it is...

Is she with someone eIse?

Yes

I see a man... and a boat

Is she happy?

WiII she come back?

It"s a very big boat.

May I heIp you?

Hook Waters sent us.

A bead that Iooks Iike this one

is supposed to Iead us to a girI.

The truth is,
