Witness Protection Page #2

Let's be nice just one last time.

Grandpa.

They won't let us take anything with our names on it.

I'll keep them for you.

Thanks.

I won this one for debate.

This one was excellence in journalism.

At least let Sean stay with us.

He's almost grown.

Both children should live with us and have a normal life.

They're here.

( DOORBELL BUZZES )

Folks, you have one bag too many.

- They said seven.

- A suit carrier counts as a bag.

And the puppy will have to stay.

But daddy, it's my puppy, right?

Yeah, yeah.

It's okay, honey.

I'd like to ask you one final time

to surrender any weapons you may have in your possession.

( CRYING )

Oh my god.

Frank, did you see that?

- It's okay.

- In front of the children.

He's like a killer.

But daddy, you said we could keep the puppy.

You said.

You said.

- Oh.

- God damn it. See?

Now there's seven bags.

Now there's seven bags.

Cindy, how could you live with this?

You son of a b*tch!

- Mom, no. Mom, stop.

- Come on, get it all out.

- You throw away your family.

- Get it all out! Get it all out!

Fill my kids full of poison so they hate their father!

- God!

- Help me with Suzie.

Please, please don't go with him.

- Please.

- Bye, Nana.

Bye.

Folks, we gotta go.

- Sean.

- Put Suzie's coat on.

All right, my darling, my darling.

- My puppy!

- I'll take the puppy.

- Sweetie, get up.

- I promise I'll take good care of it.

- Put your coat on, darling.

- I promise.

I promise, sweetheart, I'll take good care of it.

It's gonna be okay, sweetheart.

You'll see.

It's gonna be okay.

- My puppy.

- I promise you.

Oh, my darling, it's gonna be all right.

Aren't you gonna kiss me goodbye, dad?

Bye, daddy.

Officer:
Stay close together.

That's it, sweetheart.

- Mother:
Oh my god, don't go!

- ( SUZIE CRYING )

- Don't go with him!

- Bye, mom.

We'll be okay.

We'll be all right.

Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Okay, when we're on the flight, keep to yourselves.

Don't say who you are or where you're going.

Mom's gonna put you down, darling.

Hello.

Sean.

Hi, sweetie.

What's your name?

Suzie.

Hello.

I'm inspector Steve Beck.

Please come this way.

Watch your step, please.

Watch your step.

Follow me.

Inspector Beck.

Yeah, I'm at four...

Mm-hmm, thanks.

This way.

Here you go.

Go ahead, ma'am.

Can Suzie have some candy?

Make a grocery list and we'll pick up what you need.

Let us know of any dietary restrictions.

There's a few children's videos by the V.C.R.

A video movie list is available upon request.

I'll give you folks a minute to settle in,

but we have limited time.

We'll need to get right to work.

What is... is going on?

I'm missing skateboard magazines.

I'm missing some books.

If your name was in them...

But they're mine.

Sometimes we can remove the name,

and then they'll be returned to you.

While you're in these living quarters,

you'll be locked in for your own safety.

The apartment telephone has no outside line,

but if you need us, just pick it up.

All security measures are here for your protection.

There is a surveillance camera

in the living room

and one in the kitchen.

That's it.

Be back in a minute.

( LOCK BUZZES, BEEPS )

( BEEPS )

( SIGHS )

Oh god.

Honey.

Hey.

Hey.

Don't let him upset you.

Oh, it's not him.

It's not him.

We're safe.

- Yeah.

- Oh Christ, we're safe.

Everything is okay now.

( SOBBING )

- We're all right now.

- Okay.

( PHONE RINGING )

Hello.

( LOCK BUZZES, CLICKS )

( BEEPS )

( SONG PLAYING )

And I'll just dump the whole package in because...

WOMAN:
Introdu...

Suzie, we're not watching this stupid thing.

We've seen it a million times.

It's stupid.

WOMAN ON TV:
Well, she doesn't look like that now.

- Becky, come back out here.

- ( AUDIENCE CHEERING )

And stop biting that disgusting thing.

It's gross.

I don't know why you brought it.

Cartoon channel.

No.

Water? Would you like some water?

I'm not gonna lie to you.

This is one of the toughest things

that you're ever gonna do.

I'm used to tough things.

Not like this.

Welcome, people.

You're in the witness protection

security safe site and orientation center

where you'll begin the process of re-documentation

for your new legal identity.

This is day one.

You leave for your relocation site

on the morning of day five,

No extensions, no exceptions.

- Any questions before we begin?

- Where are we going?

I'll get to that.

We have loads to cover

and an extremely tight schedule.

Every day we're gonna have very specific activities

that we have to complete:

Employment counseling...

Where are we gonna live?

That's the million-dollar question, isn't it?

You know, it's just we're very anxious

'cause we've been through so much.

No, I understand.

It's... you're curious.

The contract in front of you

is the memorandum of understanding

between us... the U.S. Marshals Service...

and you.

In their fervor to get your testimony

the F.B.I. might have made promises

like a big mansion with dancing girls.

The only real agreement between us

is in that contract.

I've read it,

and there are not any dancing girls in it.

They didn't promise us any dancing girls.

He's just making a little joke, sweetheart.

Read, sign and deliver it by tomorrow.

Then we can start the process

of re-documentation

for your new classified name changes.

The new name you choose

should be ethnically compatible with your own.

Changing your first name is optional.

Changing your children's first names

- is usually more trouble than it's worth.

- Look.

When I ask an honest question,

I want an honest answer.

Honey, I think he just has a lot of information to get through.

Seattle.

You're being relocated to Seattle, Bobby.

Here's information on Seattle:

The schools, employment,

climate.

I know the climate.

It rains.

- Look, Stan.

- Steve, honey.

His name is Steve.

Yeah, you know,

that's a funny little speech

you got there, Steve.

But how do I put this?

F*** you.

Not going to Seattle.

You have a choice...

one choice.

You either roll with this program

or you pack your bags and you leave, Bobby.

If you spoke to me

this way out there...

But we're not out there, Bobby, no.

We're in here.

And I did speak to you that way.

I don't really care how many people

used to jump when you spoke, Bobby Bats.

It's not gonna be that way anymore.

It's not gonna be the way you planned.

It's raining whether you like it or not, Bobby.

We understand each other?

( INSECTS CHIRPING )

( MAN ON TAPE )

Surrounded by mountains and water,

Seattle is a city growing and changing in all directions.

Everywhere you look, Seattle is growing.

Two new sports stadiums, the new Benaroya Concert Hall

the new Seattle art museum and lots of trendy new stores

are all part of an invigorated downtown.

Our ports reach out to the burgeoning trade in the pacific rim

and our airplanes rule the sky.

Boeing, the area's largest single employer...
