02x10 - Bacterium and the Brothers Panitch

[bunniefuu]

Rosewood: Previously on "Rosewood"...

Mind if I join you?

Mind if you don't.

Rosie, this is...

Dr. Adrian Webb, the new M.E.

After you solve this thing, you can make it up to me.

Oh, I plan to.

Ever since you two started playing this Reckless Breakfast thing...

Ooh! Yes!

Oh!

...I have seen a spark in Kayla.

So now that I've shared all of my red flags...

I know I owe you a real date.

You do. And I was thinking...

"La Boheme."

You want to go to the opera with me?

I will be there... Saturday, 7:30 sharp.

Villa: Sometimes, a morning starts like any other.

♪ What the world needs now ♪
♪ Is love, sweet love ♪

Some people have a photographic memory and remember every moment, every detail of their lives.

♪ What the world needs now ♪
♪ Is love, sweet love ♪
♪ No, not just... ♪

Sometimes there are moments that are so perfect you know they'll be embedded forever.

(camera shutter clicking)

♪ Lord, we don't need another mountain ♪
♪ There are mountains and hillsides... ♪

For others, life is a constant as*ault and battery.

♪ There are oceans and rivers ♪
♪ Enough to cross ♪
♪ Enough to last ♪
♪ Until the... ♪

Wherever you look in Miami, everyone is the same.

Nobody knows exactly what lays ahead of them or what the day may bring.

♪ What the world needs now ♪

There was no question that today, something was in the air.

(coins jingle)

(beeping)

(vending machine whirs)

Whoa, whoa, guys, look at this!

Look at this!

Do you guys know what you're looking at right here?

Woman: What?

This right here is a sign!

This is a sign that I am whole.

It's gonna be a good day, people.

It's gonna be a good day.

Hey, you. Remember me?

What's up?

You know, just the, uh, hands in the old gastrointestinal tract thing, you know.

That's what I'm looking at.

I know I didn't show up to the theater.

You know what? Don't. Don't do that.

I heard you loud and clear. It's okay. You're off the hook.

But maybe I don't want to be.

So you know what you don't want.

Do you know what you do want?

It's not a trick question.

(elevator bell dings)

Rosewood: Hey!

♪ Villa, Villa ♪
♪ Villa, Villa ♪

Oof! Either you're wearing too much cocoa butter or you were just at the beach.

No, I say the perfect amount.

And, yes, I was experiencing what some would call the perfect moment.

Mm.

A crystal-clear sign that I need to take the her-and-me thing to the next level.

Do I want to know what you think that is?

Well, tonight it means take-out from Phu Tangs.

Oh.

Yeah, a little bit of garlic shrimp out on the deck, under the stars.

And the three of us as a family.

Hey, speaking of relationships, uh, have you and Adrian DTRed yet?

(elevator bell dings)

Excuse me?

DTR. You guys had all that all, like, "Excuse me?"

I'm talking about defining the relationship, Villa.

Ay! Who talks like that?

And, no, it's complicated, okay?

Oh, see, the best way to uncomplicate a situation is to, say it with me...

Define.

...define a situation, like Denise has defined...

Oh, Rosie! Missed you earlier.

It happened, man.

What's that?

I had a moment.

What?! I had a moment, too.

Well, see, something's in the air.

It's in the air.

Should I leave so you guys can hold hands and sing "Kumbaya"?

Oh, poor Villa.

She's a little mad right now because she's momentless.

Oh. Wow, you know what? Don't hate, Villa.

Okay? 'Cause your moment's gonna come.

It's gonna come.

Right now, I got to go in there and talk to those students.

Inspiring young minds feels like the perfect next step to this glorious day.

They're our future, you know?

Well, what's up, kids? How you guys doing?

Yeah? My name is Ryan Slade.

I am the captain of the EMPD.

Thank you guys for coming in for a tour.

Oh, come on. Can I get some more smiles here?

There we go. All right.

I'm gonna make this day very memorable for you guys.

All right? We're gonna have some fun.

You, what's your name?

No, no, come on. We're not about name tags here.

All right? Just step forward with confidence and say your name.

It's Axton.

Really?

Damn. That's a cool name.

(laughter)

Axton! I like it! All right!

Well, let me introduce, uh, you and your classmates here to some of the fine young men and women who serve alongside me.

Well, he's not very young, but he's got a cool name.

Go ahead.

Hi, I'm Officer Broadhead. I work in the evidence room.

How about you? What division are you in?

Uh, I am... Officer McKinney, and...

(all screaming)

Everyone put your weapons down!

(indistinct shouting)

I said put your weapons down!

You heard him! You heard him!

Drop it.

Being a cowboy is gonna get a lot of people hurt, especially your salt-and-pepper captain here.

Put your g*n down.

Villa, you might want to listen to him.

I said drop your w*apon.

All right, cowgirl here doesn't want to listen.

(shotgun pumps)

(all scream)

Okay.

Everyone... here's a little preview of what's gonna happen if you don't listen to what I say, when I say it.

(beeping)

Do I have your attention now?

(sirens wailing in distance)

Good.

(theme music plays)

(helicopter blades whirring)

(sirens wailing)

(police radio chatter)

Go ahead to my unit.

(indistinct talking)

Barbara DiCasoli here looking at what appears to be a hostage situation unfolding at the East Miami Police Department.

I am told there are children on a field trip from Samoset High School inside.

Pip.

And there's no information about what is being requested or the purpose of the takeover. All we know is that this is a very grave situation and that all streets in the vicinity have been closed for suspected b*mb threats. Reporting live from the East Miami P.D., I'm Barbara DiCasoli for News 5.

Focus. We have people on the inside right now counting on us to get them out.

If you are not up for this task, you can go home and play with yourselves, you hear me?

What's going on in there?!

Stay back, sir!

Hey, lady, I asked you a question!

Yeah, I heard the question.

The thing is, I don't ever, ever respond to anybody that calls me lady.

I'm FBI Special Agent Harrows, and if you don't mind...

You're the negotiator. Well, I'm not leaving.

Agent Harrows, we have an I.D. on our captor.

Great.

Owen Panitch, age 38.

Okay. 38, divorced, computer analyst out of M.I.T., works are AuraTech.

This is all we have?

He's not in our computer at all, not even a parking ticket.

Who doesn't have a parking ticket?

I just don't believe some nice guy wakes up one day and decides to play a Bond villain.

This guy's gonna put us on a clock.

I've got my own clock ticking, so if you don't mind, Ira Hornstock... doesn't quite roll off the tongue, does it?

(sirens wailing)

(ringing)

(cellphone buzzes)

How many days you get to come to work and take your shoes off?

Villa: You can't possibly be wearing your Rosie-colored glasses right now?

Hey, Villa, don't doubt the glasses, okay?

I got all types.

Yes, I know how you like to look at the world.

But right now...

Yeah, can you see this?

Hmm, you see this?

It's not about the glasses.

It's about me staying focused so whenever you're ready to do our thing, I am right there with you.

All right, campers, listen up.

You know my associate, but you haven't met him formally.

Duke.

You're all gonna wear one of these.

You're all numbers now.

Here, take one, pass it down.

Take one, pass it down.

But not you, no.

No, you're special.

And you get my favorite number.

You don't have to take off your shoes.

You're kind of my star hostage.

What are you talking about?

Oh, what, you don't remember me?

Come on.

The 12th Precinct, your old home.

Only been two months.

Yeah. Well, you've changed, too.

Got a little extra jazz on the jawline.

Excuse me, sir, may I have a snack, something to eat.

Oh, you want a snack?

Let me think... no.

Why don't you check the floor, and maybe you can find some candy in the debris?

Don't do that, either.

He's dehumanizing us.

Yeah, it's easier for him to k*ll us if he has to.

Panitch's girlfriend.

Dispatched a black and white to her residence, but no answer.

Get on it. I might need her down here to pull on his heartstrings.

Agent Harrows, tactical just found this at the southeast entrance to the loading dock.

Do you want me to ask you what it is?

We have a line!

(ringing)

Hey, hey.

That's a putty. It's used as an adhesive agent in expl*sives.

That guy's for real.

Please, thank you.

Showtime.

(telephone rings)

Hello, Owen. This is FBI Agent Harrows.

First of all, are you okay? Is everybody okay in there?

Right now they are.

All right, that's a good thing.

That's what we want to hear.

I was hoping that we could maybe...

Talk for a minute?

Maybe find some common ground?

Wait, let me guess, you want to be my friend?

You think I don't know the steps to this dance?

Hey, hey, just hear me out.

I just want to know what it is you want.

That's my job. I'm a go-getter.

You ask me for something, and then...

Deliver Walter Panitch to where you're standing.

That's step one.

You have exactly 60 minutes from right now.

(grunting)

Down! Down!

Unless you think this is an idle thr*at, I have every inch of this place rigged to blow!

So do not test me!

Okay, gentlemen, you heard him.

Let's find out who Walter Panitch is... a father, dead relative, imaginary childhood friend.

Then see what his relationship is with expl*sives.

Is this a love affair or just him pining?

You got a death wish, kid?

These bombs are set to go off every 12 minutes unless I input the code.

And only I know what that is... my high school locker number plus my birthday.

Just kidding.

Whoo, whoo. Loosen up. Relax.

It's gonna be a long day.

I think it's time to break up these fast-forming cliques.

Yeah, you two. I see you.

All right, time to go. Middle school dance styles.

Girls on one side, sad boys on the other.

These guys know what I'm talking about.

No one talks, and no one moves. Duke, make it happen.

You got to go to the bathroom, hold it.

I'm gonna go down and search for stragglers.

Anyone gets cute, sh**t 'em.

(bones crackle)

All right, ladies first. Let's go.

This is a list of everyone who I know is in that building.

I know this is your purview and whatnot, but from what I know, 65% of hostage situations occur because they know someone who's inside.

So I'm thinking our guy either has a beef or he's holding a grudge of some sort.

65%, huh?

So you must have been the person running point on the Doylestown Seven, or you were in Pensacola for the Allied Savings & Loan fiasco.

Oh, no, that was me. Thank you so much, Detective.

This is gonna be a lot of help.

Moose, can we get the boys suited up?

You kidding me?

Man: Let's go!

This guy has a hair trigger on a detonator.

You're gonna lose people... my people.

Hey, that's my family in there.

Do you like stats?

100% of hostages end up dead when emotions are involved.

That is why I am on the phone.

And no more touching.

Duke, it looks like we're on the back-up generator down here.

I'm not coming back up until I have checked every inch of this place.

(rustling)

That's a shame you... you blew up that vending machine.

It's the first time it's worked for me in months.

I used to have to shake the hell out of it.

So who's this Walter guy? Is this...

I'm gonna tell you to shut up.

You're not a fan of compliments, all right, I get it.

I'm just trying to pass the time, man, that's it.

You okay? Is there anything you need?

Maybe my shoes.

Do they really think a pair of Nikes is gonna help me run out of here?

Those commercials can be pretty damn convincing.

I'm Annalise.

Astrid.

So you're one of the smart ones in your class.

You think I'm a student?

I'll blame the chair.

Why are you here?

I was gonna give a witness statement to Officer McKinney.

I thought I'd make it home in time to see my soaps, but...

Witness statement?

Yeah, the... the Seneca Mall robbery.

Of course.

Destroyed the food court on their way out.

Yeah, and guess who was on the handicap ramp near the Poco's Pretzels to witness those two scum bags run.

Duke has a shotgun.

That's two rounds at a time. I can take him down.

Seems pretty unhinged.

Oh, I know what I'm doing. I'm a detective.

Yeah, but he's a psychopath.

(elevator bell dings)

Is there a doctor in the house?

Right here, why?

Because 51 just got sh*t.

Sorry, we got to leave this b*llet in your leg, 'cause it's too dangerous to remove.

It's too dangerous to remove right now.

Exactly.

Keep the pressure on that.

Give you a little bit of this.

Oh, God!

It turns out Walter Panitch is Owen's brother.

He's doing a five stretch in East Miami Correctional.

I know the warden. Let me reach out and see what he can do.

I like it. Make the call.

(grunts)

You're a good doctor, 15.

Yeah, thanks.

I mean, 'cause you... I mean, you haven't seen my billboards?

I have billboards all over the city. You haven't seen them?

Look. How about this?

No, uh-uh, uh!

Where do you think you're going, honey?

It looks like 22 has got ants in her pants.

No, I just wanted to see if he...

Shut up.

Hey, you don't want to hurt her. She can help us.

Who, us? Oh, we're an us now? That's swell.

Well, why don't you tell me what she's gonna do for us?

I can... I can get you what you need.

Help get everyone out of here safe.

Nobody needs you, and I don't want you here!

You got it?!

What I need is for everyone to stay where I tell them to!

Hey, wheels, don't even think about it.

Look, don't give up on her just yet.

She's worth it.

(grunts)

I need to get downstairs, get some more supplies.

All right.

I haven't been referred to as a number since my old days as a running back.

You planning on telling anyone your agenda?

You seem like the kind of guy who has an end game.

You have no idea what kind of guy I am.

I'm just...

Keep it moving.

I may not know everything about you, but I do know you're not as bad of a guy as you want us to believe.

Oh, yeah, how do you know that?

'Cause a real criminal lets a guy bleed out.

He surprised me. He came at me with a scalpel.

Look, I'm here to save my brother.

Yeah, that's admirable, but where is he while you're doing all this stuff for him?

Prison.

His lawyer convinced him to take a plea bargain 'cause we couldn't afford any more legal bills.

That was only the beginning of my problems.

He's dying in there.

He's dying?

I'll talk to the captain. We'll see what we can do to help you.

Slade? (scoffs)

No, he was the original captain on the case back at his old precinct.

He mishandled it?

It's more personal than that.

All right, well, let's get down to the bottom of this.

Let's go talk to Slade.

Okay, Doc, let's talk to Slade.

I guess when you're in a chair, people tend not to look at you.

Gives me more time to look at them.

I notice more details, sense stuff.

I'm getting one of those senses right now.

This seating arrangement helping to jog your memory?

I'm not gonna be interrogated in my own precinct.

Captain, we're all hostages here.

So...

Then why don't you take the cuffs off?

Oh, is that uncomfortable?

Well, now you know how everyone else feels when they sit in that chair.

So that's what this is, some kind of experiment?

Oh, you're not getting it. He's not getting it.

Getting what?

Oh, this isn't gonna work.

What's not gonna work?

I'm just gonna tape his mouth shut.

Hold on a second? Why don't you let me talk to him alone?

If you want some real answers, let me get to the truth.

You got a minute and a half.

I'll be right behind that door, understood?

Got it.

Captain...

I need you to try to remember exactly what happened to his brother.

I know exactly what happened to his brother.

He was picked up trying to cash a fake lottery ticket.

The guy was huge. Two unis show up, he resists arrest, he injures one of the cops.

I mean, the guy must have been jacked up on something.

We had him dead to rights.

I don't think that's why he's here.

Owen: Walt was resisting because he didn't know any better. He was set up.

Well, then what did I do?

I mean, what was so bad that you're putting all these innocent lives in danger?

Tell me! You want to talk, let's talk... you and I.

We can talk. Just let everyone go.

You let everyone go...

(all scream)

My brother is sick.

He resisted because he is sick.

I spent two months... screaming from rooftops, desperately trying to get anyone to pay attention to his illness.

And when I came to see you... you barely looked up from your desk.

'Cause people don't listen to people like me.

And people don't care about people like him.

And you weren't any different.

So now everyone's gonna pay...

...because of your mistake.

Duke: What's going on back there?!

Hey!

Answer me!

What's going on back there?!

Hey!

(grunts)

Hands up, Duke. Face the wall!

You too, perra. Walk it to the wall.

Detective, I have no idea...

My guess is your legs work just fine, so hop to!

I said get up!

Hands up!

Turn around.

I'll take this.

You won't be needing your little lady g*n anymore.

Villa, come on, this is not the answer.

Baby, don't do anything crazy.

Yeah, baby. sh**t the bitch!

Baby, you can try, but my g*n is bigger than yours.

If you haven't figured it out yet, Astrid and Owen are undercover lovers.

See, Astrid here rolled into the station this morning to give a statement to Officer McKinney about a robbery near Poco's Pretzels.

This is a spicy Nancy Drew.

Shut up.

See, Seneca Mall doesn't have a Poco's.

I can tell you every place in Miami that does.

I basically have a pretzel fetish.

My guess is Officer McKinney is dead.

That's not true.

Add that to a list of charges that are stacking by the second.

Slade: Villa, come on, okay? Think about this, all right?

Owen wants me.

Just deal with me, okay, man?

Villa, I believe Owen.

We can do this another way.

Well, he may believe you, but I don't.

(telephone rings)

You know who else doesn't?

That FBI negotiator out there.

You think she's trying to help you?

Right now, she's figuring out how she's going to k*ll you.

(ringing continues)

(telephone ringing)

The pretzel story was rich, but so is this.

I'm gonna answer that phone, so if you want to sh**t me, go ahead.

Agent Harrows: Okay, Owen.

I did a little research on my own because I care, and I have a sinking feeling your brother did not get a fair trail, and that doesn't make any of us look good, does it?

Yeah, the D.A... Martin Colfax, I call him Marty...

Dropping names is bad form.

Yeah, only if it's just ear candy.

You know, rather than drag your brother all the way down here, I thought, "You know what? How about I just bang out a call with Marty and"...

You know, the second part of our little show was gonna be you bringing the best doctor in Miami to examine him, but he's already here...

Beaumont Rosewood.

Oh, yeah, he's the guy from the billboard.

He's got a nice smile, right?

Yeah, but he's a pathologist. Your brother's still alive.

20 minutes, and your hour is up.

Tick, tick, boom.

(telephone beeps)

Rosewood: Listen to me, Villa, I believe Owen.

I know that goes against every cop bone in your body, but every doctor bone tells me that I can help.

I need you to release hostages.

Put the g*ns down!

What is it you don't understand?!

Remember what I said about the codes?

Are we gonna do this? Is this what you want?!

Okay, I'm sorry, kids.

10... no, let's make it seven, six, five, four...

No, hey! Okay! I'm not sh**ting anyone.

The g*ns are down!

But I need you to release that man in there.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not.

Villa, he's stabilized, okay?

He has a b*llet sitting between his rectus femoris muscle and some fatty tissue.

Exactly... he has a b*llet in his body.

As long as these kids are being held, so am I.

And number nine has to go first.

Owen: Why's that?

Because he has diabetes.

See the perspiration? See how he's shaking?

I've been watching him. He's... he's not just scared.

His blood sugar's been dropping steadily since this started.

Officer: Keep walking.

Got them over here.

Hands up.

Stop.

Turn around.

Please!

(indistinct shouting)

Thank you, Owen.

Now it's time for me to do something nice for you.

Rosewood: Now, I need to know everything you can remember from your childhood.

I'm talking about his chicken pox, uh, tonsils being taken out, him falling off the skateboard and scraping his knee, anything.

We grew up alone. We didn't go to doctors.

Unless you count the school nurse.

Walter said he was in pain.

What kind of pain?

Anything before prison... anything?

Nothing medical in the last 60 days?

No, he... well, he... my brother's not like everybody else.

Walt has trouble communicating his feelings.

He's always being harassed.

I tell him to ignore them, ignore the zeroes.

Just put on your cape and fly away.

Well, he likes Superman.

Superman? Think, Owen.

Look, I don't know.

He went to the dentist three months ago.

Some teenagers knocked his tooth out while he was riding the bus.

You're not buying this sad brother routine, are you?

The guy's a criminal.

No mention of the bounty hunter that brought him in?

Walt skipped bail?

Oh, that's right. Forgot to tell you about that.

I wonder why.

Shut up, 44!

Owen, I need that bounty hunter's name.

Man: Fore!

Oh!

Come on! Really!?

Who lives on a golf course?!

Oh, hi, girls.

Uh, can I get two boxes of Samoas and, uh, whatever those peanut butter things are called.

Uh, Butters, Girl Scout jokes are not your friend, and there's sort of a hostage situation, and everyone's involved. So maybe you can invite us in.

(dog barks)

I got to get down there.

Jorge, come on! Give me some space.

Give me some space!

Oh, I'm sorry, pal. That...

You didn't do anything wrong. You did not do anything wrong.

Uncle Ira's in trouble.

Okay, Butters, Butters... whoo!

Tighten it up, buddy.

We're on a medical witch hunt, Butters, and you have the clues that we need.

You know I do.

Did you notice any vision problems?

Well, Butters said that he could have easily crushed him with his hands, and he didn't.

So either he has a soft spot for older balding guys.

Go easy on the description, honey, I'm right here.

The, uh, giant woodsman was definitely visually impaired.

Well, if you're thinking diffused brain processing, you have to be thinking meningitis.

How could any doctor even half paying attention miss meningitis, Rosie?

Because the aspirin from the jail would suppress the fever.

But this is great stuff. I'll call you when I know more.

Bad day to get shy, 44.

Okay, you know what the funny thing is?

I came to work today thinking I turned over a new leaf.

That the universe was telling me I was doing good.

Yeah, some people might call that karma.

Just saying.

Yeah. I think you're right.

We make our own beds, then we die in them.

My father said that to me once.

He wasn't one for sentimentality.

You have a good relationship with your father?

Hmm.

I mean, I wish I could do it all over again.

I would have taken the time to talk to Owen, and I would have figured out what was going on with his brother.

But I can't change that.

I don't want this to be my legacy.

You could stop this.

♪♪

What's Owen's end game, hmm?

Is this about a prison break?

Tell me.

You don't want to make the same mistake I made.

Maybe both of us can have a chance at redemption here.

Understand?

(g*n cocks)

How dumb do you think I am?

I love Owen.

I would do anything for him.

He'd do the same for me.

He already has.

There's no redemption for you.

So you either do what you came in here to do, or let's go.

(police radio chatter)

Stop! Sir, sir. Hands up.

Turn around.

The wind keeps making my hair stick on my lip gloss.

Rosie!

Just one second.

Are you okay?

Yes. I'm all good, sweetie. Thank you.

Hey.

Okay, I-I know this isn't a fair question to ask, but you're out here now.

Do you have to go?

Yes, I do.

I get it.

Rosie, I love you.

We love you.

I love you guys, too.

Hornstock: Rosie.

Hey, man, I'm sorry I got caught up in this thing this morning.

I was late. I'm never late.

Captain, you're out here for a reason.

I spoke to the warden.

This... this Walter character, he's very dangerous.

You need to be careful.

Got it.

Promise me.

I got you, Captain.

♪♪

You look even better than you do on your billboards.

What's going on here?

Oh, you actually thought we were gonna bring Walter Panitch here, a dangerous prisoner at the instruction of a hostage-taker?

No.

You're gonna walk back in there, you're gonna tell Owen that you did a full examination of his brother and you're giving him a clean bill, top-notch picture of health.

He needs to believe it.

Don't be afraid to use that smile of yours.

We clear?

How'd it go? We gonna be okay?

How was he? What's wrong with him?

Did he look scared?

Well, he, um...

I was, um...

What? What is it?

Look, I'm gonna be honest with you.

I didn't see your brother.

The truck was empty, it was a decoy.

No. No.

Hold it, hold it, hold it now. I was...

No, no! I trusted you.

Okay, I know. Listen, I was just as shocked as you are.

I am on your side. You got to let me handle this.

I told you they weren't taking you seriously.

But you wouldn't listen.

Nobody gives a damn about your brother!

You want to get this done?!

Villa: Okay, listen. You don't have to do that.

Leave that kid alone.

You said you could get me into that evidence room and I could take what I wanted.

That's why I took this job.

I dare you, Captain Jack.

Calm down.

Duke: Shut up!

Duke, put it down.

Oh, no, no, no, no. No!

Put it down.

I am done with you.

You are weak.

You ever stop to think that maybe your brother doesn't deserve to be saved, huh?

(all screaming)

(g*nsh*t)

g*nshots!

Move, get out of my way!

Mobilize! Let's go, let's go!

(telephone rings)

Move it, move it!

Wait, hold, hold.

You ready?

Owen.

This is Detective Annalise Villa.

There's a man down.

Villa: No, it wasn't a hostage. It was an accomplice.

Owen Panitch was protecting a kid.

I would have done the same thing.

Yes, everything is under control.

We're all good. We're safe here.

Thank you.

Don't thank me, because they're still coming in.

I've got one more idea that may work, but this time, we do it my way.

East side, the north side, the south side. Okay?

Go. Go, go.

Agent Harrows, a second.

What is it?

How you operate leaves many questions.

Like I don't know whether you got many... scruples.

Scruples?

Yeah.

That is very interesting coming from someone like you.

Do you think that I wasn't gonna do my research?

This used to be your house.

Recently demoted captain gets his numbers jumbled up, almost kills an innocent man with his fists, and then hides behind the lie for 18 years.

Does that sound like the guy that should be teaching me about scruples?

I gave you the most menial tasks even a child could perform, but you just couldn't let up, could you?

There's a problem in there.

This is not about me.

This whole circus is about you.

And if you think I'm gonna stand by and watch this happen, you're crazy.

You're not gonna have to.

Guys? Take him out of here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Oh, yes, you are.

Oh, no, I'm not.

It was great working with you.

You're gonna k*ll everybody in there.

Get out of my face.

You hear me?

Take him out of here! Out of here now!

Let's go!

(telephone rings)

(exhales)

Good?

Owen.

Who?

I'm sorry, who did you say?

Owen, how's your day going so far?

That's what you want to talk about, what I had for breakfast?

I had my Wheaties, if that's what you're getting at.

Well, I had see-through coffee and a day-old bagel with schmear.

So you get me b*at there.

You know, I was supposed to be inside with you there today.

You know where I was this morning?

I was sitting in my car, talking.

Well, actually, I was yelling at my younger brother Frankie.

I say younger, but he's 35, he's an author, he just got a book published.

Crime story, if you can believe that.

Detective, your colleague here says you're the one to help me.

So far, I don't see it.

(sighs) Here's the thing, Owen.

My brother got married yesterday... and I wasn't invited.

The biggest day of his life, he didn't care if I was there to see it.

But that's the way it's supposed to be, 'cause you know what?

I wasn't there for him growing up.

You know, we were different, just like you and your brother were different.

I should have tried to find a common ground because he's my blood, he my brother.

But I failed him.

Maybe that's why I was yelling, because I was angry at me.

What is this, I'm your shrink now?

Call him and say you're sorry.

Too little, too late, big bridge, lots of water.

The closest thing I have to family is inside with you there.

So I was thinking, Owen, if I help you today, I don't know, maybe somehow it could be a symbolic thing or something.

Yeah, and how are you gonna do that?

By making a pledge.

I will figure this out, I will get your brother here.

For real this time.

But you got to promise me no more g*ns, no more bombs.

Can you do that, Owen?

♪♪

He said he didn't want me.

We all say things we don't mean sometimes, Villa.

He's here.

My brother's here.

You sure you got this?

I had it the first time.

I know you did.

♪♪

Unchain him.

Excuse me?

Remove the chains so I can fully examine him.

♪♪

Your brother sent me out here to help you, Walter.

Walter, I need you to look at me, okay?

I need you to look at me.

This is a light. Gonna examine your eyes.

Look down.

Look to the left.

Good job. Good job, Walt.

Walt, I need you to focus on me.

Ignore those zeroes.

Put on your cape and just fly away.

Into the sky.

That's right, Walt.

Fly away into the sky.

(heart b*ating)

Okay. Breathe in deeply for me.

(coughing)

It's okay, I got you. Here you go.

(coughing continues)

(sneezes)

(coughs)

Okay.

♪♪

Good news, Walt.

I just saved your life.

(helicopter blades whirring)

Rosewood: I saw what they call Roth spots in his eyes.

They're tiny retinal hemorrhages with white centers.

What's that mean?

Well, on their own, nothing conclusive.

But it caused me to focus my attention on his heart.

Now, your heart, her heart, everyone else's in here probably sounds the same.

But not Walt's.

You're saying they missed something as simple as a heart murmur?

No, no, that's not what I'm saying.

It's not that simple.

Blow your nose into this.

But...

Come on, kid, I know you got a bat in the cave.

Just do it.

(blows nose)

Okay, no, you keep it, champ.

But hold it up so everyone can see.

Hold it up.

Your brother, Walt, blew his nose into this.

Now, you see, it doesn't hold the form like Axton's here because it's not mucus.

It's cerebral spinal fluid leaking from his brain.

You said two weeks before his arrest, he went to the dentist.

While he was there, bacteria got into his blood stream.

And when you have a bad valve like Walt, it can eat away at the bone, causing the brain to leak.

And that's the fluid that you see here.

This also explains your brother's hostility.

The rage, it's a secondary symptom of a stroke.

So otherwise, Walt was the gentle giant you described.

Wait, I still don't understand.

Just, can we... can we stop with the doctor talk?

All we really want to know is is he gonna die because these bastards missed this?

Yes, and I'm sorry... it's very scary information, but, no.

It's gonna be a long road to recovery, but he will live.

You have my word on that.

Now... man to man?

You have to live up to your end of the deal.

Surrender.

He saved your brother's life.

That's what you came here to do.

Yeah, well, come on, Doc.

We both know it's over for me.

My life is done.

Our life.

Whatever you decide.

Barbara: There's an eerie stillness here.

I've received word contact was made.

Wait a minute.

Yes, they're being released right now.

(indistinct shouting)

Agent Harrows?

You must be Captain Slade.

Very good.

Hi.

So you were the one running the show out here today?

You could say that.

Well, I'm kind of glad that Detective Hornstock was here, huh?

Ooh, ouch. Such harsh words coming from such a pretty face.

Trust me, the pretty's only skin deep.

See you around.

Yeah, you can count on that.

You know what? Hold on.

Open it up.

Yes, sir.

You got it?

Go ahead.

I got to go away for a while, buddy.

I'll go with you.

No, you can't come with me.

I got to go alone. You put your cape on.

All right?

You put your cape on, and you fly away.

I'll put my cape on.

Fly away, okay?

I'll fly away.

I love you, buddy. I love you.

Got to go. We got to go.
