Move along, boys.

Shame on you, preacher man.

All right, I'm here, Cliff.

What do you want?

I don't want to talk about it on the
streets. Go inside.

I'm ready to do business again.

Just like before, you bring me the cash
and I'll take care of it.

What made you change your mind?

Nothing. Business as usual.

First, you want out. You act like one
very frightened man.

And then it's business as usual.

I changed my mind. That's all. You
changed your mind.

Or did someone change it for you?

Tell the truth, Cliff.

You know, the truth shall set you free.

Gospel according to John.

Chapter 8, verse 32.

Hold back.

No.

Hang on, man.

Hey.

Hey, who are you?

You undercover?

Huh?

Look, Tracy, Tracy, really. Laura.

Laura. Laura.

Laura's not here, man.

Listen.

How do you know Joe Lomax, huh?

What do you have to do with him?

Safe. No.

Look. Hey.

Hey!

He was a cop and good at his job, but he
committed the ultimate sin and

testified against other cops gone bad.

Cops that tried to kill him, but got the
woman he loved instead.

Framed for murder, now he prowls the
badlands.

An outlaw hunting outlaws. A bounty
hunter.

A renegade.

Reno, you did everything that you could
possibly do.

You don't owe this guy Cliff Tracy
nothing.

Zero dip nada.

I was faked out on a wanted killer, and
I let him murder an innocent man right

in front of my eyes. Innocent?

I think Tracy was stinging Lomax for
some reason, and I blew it.

Reno, the man died in your arms.

It's natural to feel responsible, but
you didn't kill him. I didn't save his

life either.

Okay.

So you want me to give the cops a tape?

How should I tell them I got it?

Oh, don't bother.

Whatever he wanted to record didn't
happen. There's nothing on the tape but

bunch of unanswered questions.

Like, what's the link between a dope
dealer murder and a pillar of the

like Cliff Tracy?

And what the hell is Sparrowhawk?

He that dwelleth in the secret place of
the Most High...

shall abide under the shadow of the
Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge
and my fortress, my God.

In Him will I trust.

Surely He shall deliver thee from the
snare of the fowler. He shall cover thee

with His feathers, and under His wings
shalt thou trust.

His truth shall be thy shield and thy
buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror
by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth

by day, nor for the pestilence that
walketh in darkness, nor for the

that waiteth at noonday, because thou
hast made the Lord thy wall and thy

habitation.

Amen.

Okay, fella?

Never better.

Maybe he didn't see you.

Hi. Good afternoon.

Is your mom home?

You were at the funeral this morning.

That's right. Did you know my dad?

Only for a short time.

My name's Vince.

Vince Black.

Josh.

My mom's down at the beach.

Do you think it'd be okay if I go talk
to her?

Tracy.

Do I know you? Well, not officially.

I'm Vince Black.

Laura Tracy.

Did I see you at the funeral?

Yeah, I was there.

I was also there when your husband was
killed.

You what?

I'm a bounty hunter.

I was tracking this man.

I've never seen him. I was going to
arrest him.

I had him staked out, and your husband
drove up in a car, parked behind him,

out of the car, and they started to
talk.

Gradually, it became sort of an
argument.

They moved inside this abandoned
building, and that's where your husband

killed. I tried to stop it, but I was
too late.

Mr. Black. Mrs. Tracy, I think you're in
very grave danger, and I want to catch

Lomax before he pays you a visit.

I think Cliff was involved in some kind
of business with Lomax, but I think he

wanted something from Cliff, and now
he's going to want it from you.

Something like what? I don't know what.
Probably money.

But until I find out, I want to protect
you and Josh.

We don't need your protection.

He was at the funeral, Laura.

He tried to kill me.

You stay away from me and my son, Mr.
Black.

I'm going to go to the police with what
you told me.

Please don't do that.

They've already proven they can't catch
Lomax. Maybe I can.

Stay away.

Who's he talking to?

Whoa, who wound you two tight?

He's on his Washington, D .C.

You met Tracy's widow?

Yeah, yeah. She shut me out completely.

I mean, either she's in denial or she's
never even seen Lomax.

Well, I ran bio -tracks on both Tracy
and Lomax to find out where their paths

first crossed.

Bobby suspects the military.

Why? Because their backgrounds and
social classes are so different.

Well, finding out is going to be a major
long shot.

Okay, Marty. Yeah. Thanks a lot. Talk to
you tomorrow. Bye.

That's exactly what my buddy just said,
but he's going to check it out for me

anyway and get back to me tomorrow.

Reno, when was the last time you slept?

I don't know. Since the killing?

Oh, man. Come on here.

You've got to tuck in.

You've got to get your rest. You know
why? Because you don't get enough rest

get your Z's and you've got to kind of
chill out and everything.

You know, Reno, you've got to really
get...

Come on, sweetheart, time for bed.

You... Oh,

Dad, it's up, man.

Oh, I know, sweetheart, me too.

Parents aren't supposed to die.

Your father wasn't supposed to die.

Somebody took him.

I know.

Now will you tell me? Tell you what?
That guy with the cool Harley. You said

you'd tell me about him after dinner.

He was just a man who said he saw your
father's murder.

He was a witness?

I don't believe him.

For one thing, he wouldn't tell the
police.

For another, he was after some reward
money.

But he looked... I don't know. He looked
pretty cool.

Things aren't always the way they look.

Come on.

I'll kill you.

Revelation 17.

Lo, I beheld a woman riding a scarlet
beast which had seven heads

and ten horns.

And she was holding a golden wine cup
filled with a disgusting

filth.

fornication. And on her forehead was
writ Babylon the Great,

mother of all prostitutes.

You recognize me, don't you?

Liar.

Harlot, tell me my name.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
Cliff told me such wonderful things

you. Of course, we never met.

I'm not the kind of man one brings home
to meet the wife and kids.

Still, we would want to wake up little
Joshua.

Your Cliff and I were partners.

Only closer than partners. We were
brothers.

You don't believe me?

The book of Job tells us I am a brother
to dragons.

Chapter 30, verse 29. And the prophet
Ezekiel 38, 21.

And a man's sword shall be against his
brother.

You see?

Cliff and I fulfilled the prophecies.

You're a sick man.

Indeed.

I need

Cliff's records.

Books. He had them all down somewhere.
That's how he was. Very organized.

Very methodical.

I don't know what you're looking for,
Mr. Lomax, but I promise you there's

nothing here.

Scripture tells us when a man is dead,
wife becomes his brother's

wife.

Your husband was corrupt.

God.

Joshua!

Isaiah chapter 9.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a
son is given, and a man shall be born.

Put the boy down.

Put him down, now!

My friends are about ten minutes away.

I hope you don't mind the extra
protection.

Mind? Are you kidding?

Gross.

Does it hurt real bad?

Not as bad as getting thrown off a
cliff.

You've been thrown off of a cliff?

No, I'm just kidding you.

Josh, you go back to bed.

You think I could sleep after this?

Get real, Mom.

I mean, who was that guy? Was he crazy?

I think that's a pretty fair statement.

Where'd you learn how to fight like
that?

Different martial arts studios.

Taekwondo, Aikido.

You know, stuff like that. Cool.

Would you teach me someday?

Sure. If you mind your mom and head off
to bed now.

Well, Josh, I just wanted to say that
what you did tonight, you know,

your mom and everything, I thought that
was pretty cool.

It would make your dad real proud.

Yes, sir, Marvin.

Yeah.

We have to call the police now.

I'll go along with whatever you want to
do.

Okay? But if you trust me, I'd hold off
for a couple of days.

Even if they parked a cruiser in front
of your house, you'd just have to leave.

And then Lomax would take up right where
you left off.

What is wrong with him?

Laura, does the word Sparrowhawk mean
anything to you?

Sparrowhawk, um, like the bird?

Yeah. No.

Should it?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Really?

Bobby, Chai, this is Laura Tracy.

Nice to meet you.

I'm so sorry about what you're going
through.

Hey, look, I think one of us should be
with her at all times. That is, if it's

okay with you.

What are you thinking here?

Well,

it's not the wrist, but it's... Clean.

Oh, it's fine.

Your hands are still shaking.

Look at that.

Up until now, I've been a rock.

You see, Cliff was a real in -charge
guy. He always took care of everything.

Now it falls on me. I don't know if I
can handle this.

Well, from what I hear, you handle Josh
awfully well.

Thanks.

It just hasn't hit Josh yet.

I think he's latching on to Vince.

Oh, Vince has that effect on people.

I just got done checking the exterior.

Lomax could have come in from anywhere,
man.

I mean, there's a million glass doors
here. It's a security nightmare.

Well, we just got to be more careful.

Yeah.

She seems like a sweet gal, Reno.

Yeah. I like her kid, too.

It's hell what they've been through.

You know, if we put together Lomax and
the late Mr. Tracy, it could get

It's got to be done, though.

Well, why don't you do us a favor and
don't become the Rocket Gibraltar, okay?

No problem.

Okay, Josh, it's really good intensity.

I just want to change one thing, okay?

Make a fist. Put your thumbs on the
outside of your fist, not on the inside,

okay? If you punch somebody like this,
you're going to dislocate your thumb.

Bummer. Yeah, major bummer.

Let's do a little exercise, okay?

On one, give me two punches to this
hand. On two, punch once there, okay?

One, two.

Ow.

Forgot about that.

You see that, Mom?

All right.

You know, this reminds me of Papeete
Tahiti.

Room service.

Thank you, Captain.

Always make the best job on the
reservation.

I do appreciate it.

White men always take it for my people.

Mom, would it be okay if I showed a
piece of the code?

I think that would be fine.

Still waiting for the phone call from
Washington.

We won't be long.

Great coffee.

So what's the code?

The place where Josh used to go with his
dad.

No one else.

Who's calling from Washington?

Well, we're trying to find out how your
husband first met Preacher Lomax.

Was he ever in the service?

Army. Vietnam.

Oh, me too.

Marines. Purple heart.

Silver star.

Threw him all away when he came home.

This is a cool place, Jock.

Uh -huh. My dad and I used to come down
here and just hang.

Be guys, you know.

Quite a man, your dad, huh?

One time, we found this harvest deal
washed up here. We made this big roar

whenever we came near him. He was all
cut up.

Yeah, well, he probably got kicked out
of the pack by the older males.

That's what my dad said.

When the Humane Society came and took
him away.

That's probably the best thing for him.

No, it wasn't.

I think form was not to get hurt in the
first place.

Can't argue with that.

Watch out.

Thinking about your dad, aren't you?

Like... Like, if life was a video game,
I

could just push reset for a new game.

When, Dad, would you be back?

I'll live again.

And?

I wish I could be that, too.

Mom! Hey, Mom!

The tide was in the cove, and the tide
pools were way cool.

Vince knows a lot about the ocean.
Really?

I used to cut classes to go surfing.

Let's get you changed.

What do you got?

Laura helped me narrow it down. Armed
services search on her husband.

Reno, he was Army.

Vietnam, Quang Ngai, province 1968. Does
that mean anything to you?

Not really.

Remember William Calley?

My Lai massacre, right?

You see, Quang Nai was a rebel province
for decades.

And My Lai wasn't the only bad scene
that went down there in 68.

No, it's just the one that got all the
bad publicity.

There was Bravo Company at my key and
others.

Now, this is where the story starts to
get interesting.

Lieutenant Cliff Tracy.

He was a commanding officer of a unit
that was under scrutiny.

Really? War crimes?

Except he was absolved, thanks to a
sterling testimony by his first

Joseph Lomax.

The preacher man.

Mm -hmm.

Only he wasn't the preacher man back
then.

According to the records, he didn't get
that way until he was captured later on

in the war, and then became a POW.

Wait, I know the rest.

Tortured beyond sanity.

You know, the Army shrinks could never
decide whether religion was real or if

was a stress response or a protective
coloration.

Good work, man.

The only problem is we've got more
questions than we have answers.

Like, when did Lomax get back into
Tracy's life?

Yeah, and how far gone is he?

Or, like, what does he want?

What? Somebody's watching us. Over
there, that car.

He's alive, Bobby.

There's no gas, man. We better get him
out of there.

Can't we just take him to breathe?

Wait a second.

I know this guy.

I mean, I don't know him, but we've met
before.

Oh, great.

William Barnes.

The special agent.

FBI.

Are you okay?

Huh? Let me help you up.

I'm just coming around the corner, man.
You must have had a heck of an accident

here, because the kind of throw you
cleared right over here.

Cut the bull, Mr.

Sixkiller.

Where's your friend?

Excuse me?

Where's Vince Black?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Or should I ask, where's Reno Raines?

Yeah, I know all about him. But you
better produce him fast if you want me

keep the lid on it.

You owe Reno your life.

That's one way to put it.

No, that's the only way to put it,
because we pulled your butt out of that

before it went ballistic.

Which never would have happened if you
two hadn't have tried to play posse.

Or if you hadn't tried to set up on us
in the first place.

I wonder if you'd have been such a big
hero if you'd known I could blow your

cover to smithereens.

I can guarantee it.

Okay, so you know who I am. Why am I
still walking around?

Because I didn't put it together until
just recently.

Because I haven't figured out just how
to use you.

What makes you think you can?

Now that's a stupid question.

Hey, I'm a cop killer.

What makes you think I wouldn't kill
another one? Because I've watched you.

don't watch for a homicidal head case.
Believe me, I've met enough of them to

know. Because your felon recovery record
as Vince Black is pretty damn

impressive.

Even though you always do let your
partner make your court appearances for

Okay, you're right.

I was framed and falsely convicted.

If you help me prove my innocence, I'll
give you what I know about Cliff Tracy.

You'll give me everything about Cliff
Tracy and any other damn thing I ask

No conditions attached.

And if you do, maybe, just maybe, I'll
turn your dirty little rock back over

walk back out of your life.

For starters, where's my wire?

Oh, you're the cop Cliff Tracy was
working for.

That's right.

Tracy came to see me in L .A. and
offered me a deal. For him and Preacher

Yep, he came clean.

Told me he'd been laundering drug
profits for the preacher man through his

estate company for a long time.

And for what he owed him back in
Vietnam.

That's right.

So what stopped the party?

I'll tell you everything you need to
know as soon as you agree to help me

Lomax.

The preacher was always unstable, but he
finally went completely over the edge.

Lomax saw himself as some sort of
Yahweh, some such insanity, and started

killing his drug contacts, even total
strangers.

My God.

And Cliff knew this?

Cliff was Lomax's confessor.

But finally the body count gave Cliff
nightmares, literally.

How could I not have known?

Hey, Cliff was protecting you.

How could I lay in bed beside him?

Make love to him, giggle with him, and
not know.

Laura, what matters is that he was
trying to do the right thing before he

What matters is my husband had a total
double life.

Listen to me.

Cliff and Lonex went through something
awful in war together.

God knows what it was.

But it bonded them, okay? Cliff was
trying to repay a debt that he felt

of.

And protecting you at the same time.

Don't do this to him.

Or to yourself.

Hi, please leave us a message.

Hello, Laura.

I can see you're not alone.

Okay, he's somewhere close. You stay
put.

That's right, Mr. Bounty Hunter.

I'm here.

My God, he can see us.

Get away from the window.

He hath clothed me in deepest darkness,
shutting out all light.

Lamentations, chapter 3.

Laura, I've been doing some homework on
your Mr.

Black.

Did you know that your protector killed
your husband?

Did he tell you that?

What is he talking about?

I have no idea. Did he explain to you
that the sword would never have fallen

the lamb?

Had he not interfered?

I never would do anything to hurt Cliff.

But your Vince Black had to pull his gun
and start shooting.

Is this true?

Look at me.

Technically, yes. I shot at him.

You said you tried to save my dad.

I did, Josh.

Let me explain.

the one was thrown alive into the fire
and brimstone, and all the birds of

heaven were gorged with his flesh.

Revelations 1921.

Go for help from the L .A. field office.
They'll be here soon.

Oh, great.

I thought he headed for the cove.

He knows that place better than I do,
including all the hiding places.

Hello. Hello, Laura.

Behold, I am with you always, even until
the ends of the earth.

Matthew 2820.

What have you done with my son?

He's alive and well.

Put me on the speaker box. I want to
make this crystal clear to him. everyone

there, especially the bounty hunter.

I bring you tidings of great joy.

Come on, Lomax, just tell us what you
want.

I've got the boy.

I want Cliff's records concerning me.

But we don't have them, or anything like
them.

You have until the sun rises tomorrow to
give me what I want. That's three hours

from now.

Or else, like Isaac, like Yeshua
himself.

Joshua will be sacrificed.

Oh, my God. Please!

I don't know where they are.

I don't know where they are.

Look, I know all you can think about
right now is Josh with Lomax, but you've

got to force yourself, force yourself to
think like Cliff.

Laura, he's right.

That's where the answer is.

It's in Cliff's personality.

You know, what it was that made him
tick.

So you got to think about Cliff.

Talk about him. Anything.

He was kind.

He was loving.

We were his life.

Or so I thought.

I guess he was careful. I mean, look at
the double life he's been leading.

Always a contingency. Always a backup.

Backup.

Is there a computer in the house?

I tried that.

Cliff had a portable that was in his
car. Read every file.

Nothing. Josh has one.

Just for games and schoolwork.

Right over here, sis.

Normal DOS stuff. Hard drive.

Not much memory.

Josh talked a lot about video games.

Said he wished he could reset his dad's
life.

Well, he does play them a lot. They're,
um, oh, over there on the shelf.

What would Cliff call a file of these
records, assuming he had one?

Well, he'd probably call it anything. It
could be anything.

Sparrowhawk.

Captain Sparrowhawk. My God, you asked
me about that. Remember, I had no idea.

Flight simulator game.

All of these records have the same date
in 1991.

Except one.

Info dot... Bingo.

Will you make me a copy?

I can make you a hundred.

I'm here.

Do you have what I want?

A wise man holds his tongue.

A fool blurts out all he knoweth.

Proverbs, chapter 10, verse 14.

Very impressive scholarship.

Where did you study scripture?

I spent a lot of time in motel rooms.

All right, look, I've got what you want.

Where did you find it?

Doesn't matter.

If you can't prove it's authentic, I
kill the boy.

All right, ease off.

We found it in Josh's computer.

His dad stored it in the game file.

Well, well.

He's a lucky boy.

And you, my friend, are a lucky man.

Yeah, yeah. We're all lucky.

Just tell me where I can make the swap.

There's an old church on the corner of
Robinson and 3rd, St. Sebastian.

The martyr killed by a firing squad of
archers.

I'm sure you identify.

You come along.

If you try to bring help, disaster roars
down upon you from the desert like a

whirlwind sweeping from the negrette.

All right, all right, I'll come alone.

What are you doing? Arranging support,
cordoning the area.

You heard what I told him. I know you
didn't mean it. No, I meant it.

This case is now under the direct
auspices of the Federal Bureau of

Investigation, and I advise you to...

Oh great, now we're really in trouble.

You don't seriously think you're going
to go there by yourself, do you?

Josh?

Lomax?

You must eat the bitter fruit of selfish
will and

taste the full terrors of the path that
you've chosen.

Proverbs 131.

I have the record. Give me the kid.

Put them where I can see them. As soon
as I can see the boy.

No.

Behold. He's wrapped in swaddling.

Elaine in a manger.

What?

The records.

A disc?

They're on computer, I told you.

They're on a disc.

You made copies, didn't you?

How many?

None. I didn't make any copies, I swear.

Liar!

Where's the boy?

It's okay.

You're safe now.

It has now been determined that Cliff
Tracy died as well as he lived, and

Pacific Beach can be proud of their
fallen son.

His murderer was one Joseph Lomax, a .k
.a. The Preacher, a known psychopath and

dealer of drugs.

Tracy knew him from their service
together in Vietnam.

and it is believed that Tracy died while
trying to persuade Lomax to give

himself up to authorities.

Lomax was trapped by FBI agents to a
local hideout, a church, where he leapt

his death rather than surrender.

The case is closed.

It's a lie, Vince.

There's nothing about you.

You're the one who got him.

It's okay, Josh.

The most important thing is that the
world knows the truth about your dad.

Pasha, get going.

Thanks for believing in me.

Thank you for saving my son and my
husband's memory.

Sure.

Can't go yet.

I need another carotid list.

I'll be back, though.

I promise.

You're welcome anytime. I hope you know
that.

I do.

Thank you.
