Boys, a man learns a lot in a lifetime.

He learns about destiny, opportunity.

What he learns is that destiny is a lady who waits on no man.

And that opportunity is what you take while destiny is sleeping on

the job.

Now I'm going to give you two a chance to steal history and make it at the same

time.

What we're talking about here, boys, is a heist.

The mark, a pigeon in a private home.

No alarm.

Easy in, easy out.

The score, a little white ball.

Something that flew off the end of a baseball bat in 1932.

One called by the baby.

Worth an estimated $3 million.

My ass is killing me.

I ain't doing the FBI for this crap.

The job is like taking candy from a baby.

It's all within reach.

All you have to do is take it.

Break out of prison.

Well, yeah.

We only got six months left on our sentences.

Destiny doesn't wear a watch for us.

Homer's right, Merle.

It's like one second you're soaring high above the clouds, the next your band's

private jet crashes into an open field of Gillsburg, killing your singer and

your lead guitarist.

Leonard Skinner.

Never enough money to buy my double wife.

Let's go.

Cell checks just broke out. You've got to be kidding.

It's your thing.

Do what you want to do.

Hi,

Daddy. Hi, sweetheart. You're late.

Reason I'm calling.

I'm tuning up the engine. I got our supplies. We're ready for our maiden

All we need is a name for this damn boat. I was thinking Max.

I was supposed to be a she, not a he.

Listen. Hey, are you close? Don't want to get the show on the road.

Yeah, about that.

Oh, game up.

Guess he broke out of Lakewood.

Here you go, Cisco. Had to narrow down the field.

Five years ago, I knocked over a Broward SNL.

There was an incident with a dye pack, and they got busted flushing pink 20s in

a laundromat two blocks away from the bank.

The Alcheck brothers.

A couple of plateheads.

Oh, honey, you know, I thought you were going to take a few days off. I closed

the office. I took my first vacation in seven years.

Both maiden voyages.

Guess nobody told Alvin Moore that.

Well, you better go out and get those guys.

The last time they were on the outside, they blew up half of Miami.

I know. I know. I'll see you, Dad.

All right.

Mrs.

Selchuk? Yeah?

The boy?

Merle.

Baseball uniforms.

We're stealing a baseball.

Put on a real shirt, Bob.

What was I saying? Yeah, I get it.

Baseball uniforms?

Still in baseball.

Yeah.

Sleep sideways, Miami. We drop it. Rich. Ten pounds of Skinner. Three days of

lip print.

Well, coincidence.

Come hock your go, Proctor, hock. What?

What's that?

Something Homer used to say every day in prison. Means there are no

coincidences.

Hey. We should call Ma. She'll be worried. We don't have a phone.

Phone.

Do now.

Those idiots!

They had six months left on a five -year sentence. I know. We should really talk

about this, Mrs. Salchow.

I told them. Grew up again. They don't have a mama.

Martini? I'm good.

Louise, listen. You know, nothing changes. Same pair of nitwit kids on the

same marshal trying to catch.

Oh, God, I've given up on those boys.

Why haven't you?

What's my job?

Oh, yeah.

You know, Miss Sisko, I'm no expert in the area of law enforcement or anything,

but it seems to me there's got to be more than one U .S. marshal in the state

Florida who can go after them.

Why you again?

Since the first time I put him away, Bob sends a card every year on my birthday.

Nine.

Have you heard from him?

No,

they haven't called, and they won't. They know how I feel.

Okay, if that's them, I need you to keep them talking. I want him back in jail

more than you do.

Hello? Ma! It's Bob!

Hi, Molly.

Ma, it's Bob. Bob and Earl. Ah, yes, sir. I'll cover your Wednesday shift if

can cover my Thursday.

It's Bob, Ma.

Yeah, no problem.

Talk to you later.

I think she's drunk.

So, uh, I'll let you know if I hear from them idiots.

Thanks for your help, Louise.

No hello? How are you?

Hello. How are you? What do you need?

How do you know this isn't a social call? Maybe just a friendly hello, and

about them Marlins?

What do you need?

Trigger fish in a cell.

Sylvia's cleaners. Give me two minutes.

If burden asks what I'm doing tonight, ta -da!

What a wank. I could be home watching the Morelands right now. I heard that.

Yeah, you better get birding on the horse.

Yeah.

How are we related?

We're brothers, you know.

Homer said it was just some retired white bread country club dude.

Whoever he is, he's got class.

You're Robin Leach. That's the fellow's name from the show.

Hello?

Is this Bob?

Maybe.

Hang it up, Bob. It's not for you. Who's this?

Karen Sisko.

What are you doing, Bob?

Working.

You? Working.

Your mom's real upset with you and Merle. She wants you to turn yourselves

Who the hell are you talking to?

It's that lady Marshall that brought us in last time.

Bob? Can I kick him?

Hey, Bob?

What'd you do to him? War. They can trace those things, Bob.

You ought to listen to me once in a while.

Go.

We got a clean trace.

1100 Palmita Street on Star Island.

Thanks, Jimmy. I'm ten minutes away.

Yes, sir, they're coming out right now.

They broke into Charlie Lucas' house?

That's right, sir. You want us to pick them up?

Don't do a thing.

Let them go. Listen, make sure you get pictures, good ones.

I don't see their faces.

Sir, we need pictures.

Okay, coming up on one.

There we go.

What are you doing?

Pictures. There we go.

Got a good screen?

Oh, yeah.

A couple of characters for you.

an expensive evening surprise coming my

ball hey

hey open up come

on come on come on you've been watching my house for three years

now the least you could have done was stop i'm a citizen for crying out loud.

What are you looking at?

Gotta be kidding.

Oh, this is priceless.

Here, you've got to see this. This is my favorite part right here.

This is my future.

You just let him walk?

We couldn't compromise the investigation.

I think we can safely say this investigation was compromised the day

started having lunch sent out to the van.

Oh, heck, easy now.

It's not like we actually eat it.

Right, didn't eat it.

I was going to get along.

We hurry this up. You let my guy walk, Daniel?

Listen, I wasn't about to... My fugitive?

I wasn't about to jeopardize my investigation or my agent. You had your

staked out in front of Charlie's for the past three years. Three years and two

months. The paper boy knows you're watching.

Are we done? What are you going to do if Charlie kills the Seljeks?

I'll send their mother a floral arrangement.

I'll put Charlie Luca in an 8x10, and I'll go to Disneyland.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm already 15 minutes late.

Did he just say what I think he just said?

This thing between him and Charlie is personal.

Personal?

Involves a bad tip, about $12 million in property damage.

Burton lost his shot at playing in the big leagues. Been in Miami ever since

with a hard -on for Charlie.

Burton's using the cell check as bait.

He figures Charlie kills him.

He's got him on murder one.

Man can dream.

Not on my watch.

Boss? I want the guy who did this, and I want him dead.

Yes, boss.

Look, this just arrived.

Someone left it at the back door.

Call our friends in Detroit.

You lied to me, Louise.

I was protecting my boys.

They're a sorry pair, but they're still my boys. We screwed up.

They stole something from the kind of man you don't steal from.

Louise, look at me.

They're in really big trouble, and I'm the only one who's going to help them.

I spoke to him after you left.

I told him to give themselves up.

Don't think it did much good.

They gave me a phone number, and this morning it was out of service.

They do call you?

Will you let me know?

They said they wouldn't call.

Not till they had a big surprise for me.

I'll give you a million dollars.

1 .8.

1 .3.

1 .5. Take it or leave it.

Okay, okay.

You got yourself a deal.

Do you take a check?

Just kidding.

I'll go get the money.

But it's going to take me a little time, though, to scrape up this kind of cash.

So why don't we meet back here at 6 .30?

I'll be a negotiator, Merle.

I got a good feeling about this.

I need to speak to Mr. Lucas.

From vacation you're on.

I was supposed to be on a boat with you.

Now, I did ask around, and Charlie's put the word out pretty good. He wants the

ball and the salt check. Of course he does.

And here's an interesting photograph he's been sending around.

That's an FBI surveillance photo.

That's slow even for Birdie.

You might want to find those guys before Charlie does.

You got a plan?

You still on vacation?

Could take a couple of days off.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm gonna go see Carly. Maybe I can get him back off.

Don't forget to say pretty please.

Would you look at her.

What a beauty.

Oh, yeah.

That's real nice.

I'm thinking maybe just double -wide Cameron and stay for Ma.

Though I am kind of partial to the Lexington model.

Ma always preferred the Lex.

20 -year fungus -resistant shingles, faux -painted wood accents, cathedral

ceilings throughout, smooth cooktop electric range.

Earl Valentine. I believe his folks had a Lexington.

Fleetwood Villa.

I used to nail Earl's sister in there when his folks were away.

That was a nice trailer.

That is a nice trailer.

I'll lose ten pounds and give her a job.

But that's Momo's girlfriend.

Then tell Momo to get a new girlfriend.

Hi, Charlie.

I didn't see anything.

I wasn't even there. If I was there, I was asleep. So you're wasting your time.

Nice to see you too, Charlie.

How's your dad?

He got a boat.

Oh, very nice.

What are you doing here, Karen?

I came by to talk baseball.

What do you know about baseball?

Plenty. I know what you're up to, Charlie.

Are you familiar with the expression, I was robbed?

Well, it doesn't change the fact that you're being hoodwinked by Dan Burden.

Dan Burden and I go way back.

As soon as you make your move on the Celtics, he's going to make his move on

you. He set me up, Charlie.

Dan Burton couldn't set up a bowling pin.

Yeah, maybe.

But, I don't know, maybe he gets lucky.

I'm still listening.

Call off the dogs.

When I catch my guys, I bring you back your ball.

This is purely hypothetical.

Fine. Hypothetical.

What if I give you 24 hours?

I got 10 .32.

10 -29.

10 -29.

Got a deal?

Hypothetically.

Do my regards to your old man.

See you tomorrow, Charlie.

Lewis, put the word out on the street. Nobody lays a finger on the Salcheks

until they hear from me personally.

And call our friend from Detroit and tell him to take a breather. Go see some

sights. Yes, boss.

But you see, um... Is there a problem with that, Lewis?

Well, kind of.

See, our friend from Detroit doesn't have a cell phone.

He doesn't have a cell phone?

No, he calls from landlines, pay phones. He's very careful in that area.

Did you tell him about the pawn shop?

Yeah. Oh, damn, Lewis. I just made a deal with Karen.

Do you have the address of the pawn shop? Yeah.

Well, go.

Send out a message.

Cisco. We just received an anonymous tip. The Saul checks are at a pawn shop

Washington and 3rd.

Chapter 13, How You Can Help You.

Hello?

Hello?

Whoa.

Put that down, Bob, before I hurt yourself.

It's just the lighters, see?

Repeat after me. I am an effective human being.

I am an effective human being.

The task set before me, I can accomplish with ease. The task set before me, I

can accomplish with ease.

Where is this guy?

Oh, damn, Bob. We gotta go.

We got to wait for the money. We're not coming with the money, Bob. We got to

go. Put that down.

I guess it's broken.

Where are we going?

We were being set up. By who?

Self -check?

In the wind.

Gun's squeaky clean.

Zero numbers filed off.

Barrel modified to fit a silencer. John Doe's got no idea. We're running a print

right now.

Looks like a pro.

Yeah, I'm getting out of towner.

What makes you say that?

No one who lives in Miami has a suit like that.

Speaking of suits.

Ah, Darren, Eamon, what do we got?

An ambitious pencil -pushing FBI section chief is using a couple of dim -witted

fugitives to settle a personal vendetta against a local gangster.

Pretty strong accusation, Fisco.

You got any proof?

Stay out of my way.

The

ball.

It wasn't on him.

Well, at least I kept my deal with Karen.

It's too bad she didn't keep her appointment with me.

Call our friend from Detroit.

My boss?

Our other friend in Detroit.

And Louis, make sure he's got a cell phone.

How can you eat that crap?

You want half?

Sure.

Got anything yet?

I don't think so.

Take a look.

No. Word's out, though.

How's the rest of your day going, otherwise?

I got the Wondertons wreaking havoc on Miami, Charlie Luke hiring a hitman over

a baseball, and Daniel Burden cheering him on.

Yeah, give a man what he needs and still wants what he wants.

What do you got for me, Tom?

Mm -hmm.

Thanks for the heads up. Tell him to come back in an hour.

Tommy McCullough.

And? You guys just walked into his shop looking for a buyer for Babe Ruth

autographed baseball.

Nicely done.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Relax, we're a few minutes early.

50's alright?

We like 50's.

Where's the other guy?

Tommy, what's his face?

Are we asking questions or are we doing a deal?

You bring the ball?

You got the money?

Right here.

You show us the money, we'll show you the ball.

You show me the ball, I show you the money.

Not the way I do things.

Well, it's a coincidence.

Come hockey or go proctor. Not now, Bob.

Mister, it seems as though we've reached an impasse.

So it seems.

I believe they call it a Mexican standoff.

Hello, boys.

Hands on the counter where I can see them.

Where's the ball?

You think we'd be stupid enough to have it on us?

Got it.

I thought I told you to leave in the car.

You did, Merle.

Get down now! Everyone!

Look, you're the cat.

You've got that steering wheel with me.

Yeah.

We officially have no more friends in Detroit.

There's always Chicago.

No time.

You're going to have to handle this yourself, Lewis.

I want my ball back, and I want the salt checks dead.

What about the FBI? What about this getting back to you? I'm not worried

the FBI, Lewis, because if you get caught, you're going to take the fall.

And, Lewis, nothing happens to the girl.

Three years I've been working on this thing.

So you mentioned.

Three years and you just walk into his club?

You're interfering with an FBI investigation.

It's also my investigation.

What in the hell were you doing in there in the first place?

Happy hour, two for one.

Fraternizing with a gangster?

How would you like it if I swore our formal complaint was internal affairs?

That street drives both ways.

Stay away from Charlie Luker.

Know what I like about that man?

Nothing.

You got him, Lewis?

I got him, boss.

So, uh, how's it going?

Not so good.

So far, they've blown up a pawn shop and, uh, accidentally killed two hitmen.

That's my boys.

Mother's Day, 1993.

They stole me a car.

It was pink because I just started working at Myrtle's and the uniform was

But you can see that.

They were 14.

Always had the best intentions.

Just had a funny way of showing it.

I'm scared for my boys.

I think I figured out a way to save them.

But I need your help.

Somehow we've got to get in touch with him.

Well, I really love Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Been playing all weekend on the radio.

Maybe we can find a fence in Tampa.

Lie low for a while until the heat cools.

Then do a little disappearing act down in Mexico.

Mexico? No extradition.

I'm pretty sure they got expertise in Mexico.

They don't.

Well, either way, I don't want to go to Mexico.

Well, a couple guys like us could do pretty good down there.

Buy a little villa, maybe a boat.

Run a little Espanola.

What about the double wide?

We'll get them on the double wide. We'll make the arrangements.

What if we're in Mexico?

Never get to see her.

Well, what were you thinking, Bob? That we'd fence the ball, buy Mom a double

wide, and live in it with her?

The whole family together again, living the damn American dream?

Jeez, Bob, you didn't really think that, did you?

We're fugitive!

Cops will be all over Mom's place. Not to mention, we got people trying to kill

her. Now, we're going to Mexico, and that's final.

What the hell did you do that for?

I'm just trying to knock some sense into you.

This next song goes out to Bob and Merle Saltcheck. Bob and Merle, if you're out

there and if you're listening, give Mom a call. She loves you and she really

needs to talk to you.

Is that Tango again?

Come honk, you'll go back to honk.

Mama? Now, you boys have caused enough trouble.

We just wanted to get you the double wide, Mom.

I don't want a double wide.

Here's what I do want.

I want the two of you to get in the car and drive to exactly where I tell you.

You got a pen?

Close.

Voice.

What's the place?

Get in and I'll shoot you.

Now!

Okay.

What the hell is that?

It's me.

Oh, jeez.

What is that?

Shut that off!

This better be good, Lewis.

I got him, boss.

Do him.

Do him. Do him. That's right.

I can't. Why not?

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Yeah.

Sorry I'm late.

What the hell is this? You bring these two to my house? I wanted you to meet

and Meryl Fulchek.

Boys have something they want to say to you.

Is that so?

Boys.

Sorry, Mr. Walker.

Yeah, sorry, Mr. Walker.

So I guess this means

all accounts are settled?

Hypothetically.

Give us a minute, boys.

What is it, Charlie?

Things didn't turn out so bad.

You got your ball back and you didn't have to kill anyone to do it.

Hey, maybe even a little good came out of this whole ordeal.

How do you figure?

Well, there is that plan you have to get even with Dan Burton.

I don't have a plan to get even with Dan Burton.

Sure you don't.

Remind me.

Daniel Burden?

Yes.

Ambrose Pierce, Chief Counsel for Mr. Charles Luker.

And by the way, Mr.

Luker has filed a personal suit against you in the state of Florida for allowing

a felony to take place at his home while it was under the surveillance of an FBI

task force supervised by you.

Thank you for those surveillance photos.

Judge is going to get a kick out of those. Mr. Burden, you've been served.

Have a nice day.

Hey, you boys mind if we make one quick stop before Lakewood?

Ma!

You boys didn't think I was going to let you go back to prison on an empty

stomach, did you?

All right, Ma.

Boy.

What's your favorite?

Peanut butter or bacon?

Extra bacon?

What kind of mama do you take me for?

Of course there's extra bacon.

You know I love you always.

I love you too, ma.

What'd you do that for?

That was for breaking out of prison.

Well, Bob broke out too.

When you're older, you should know better. What were you thinking?

Where were you gonna go?

Mexico.

They got extradition down there.

I know you always wanted to make me proud, right?

Well, now I'm going to tell you how to do it.

Go back to prison and serve out your sentences.

All of it.

And I'll be here waiting when you get out.

Okay?

Okay.

Eat up.

Man, their dad was dumb as a post, but holy crap, was he good -looking.

I used to drive for Charlie about 20 years ago.

That's how I knew about the ball.

Of course, I knew Charlie'd catch up with him sooner or later.

Playing was nearly perfect.

Would have worked, too, if I were a little luckier.

And you had a little less grit.

One last question.

Why? The truth?

I hate Leonard McKinnon.

Things just couldn't be the same.

Cause I'm as free as a bird now.

And this bird you cannot change.

Whoa.

And this bird you cannot change.

day for a boat ride.

Boat still needs a name.

I still like Meg.

Maybe we should just hold off on naming the boat.

Boat's got to have a name, but I'm lucky not to. Says who?

Frank Norris. Frank Norris is in jail, Dad.

He's stealing boats.

All right, let me in.

Now, would you please untie the, what's it called up there?

The, uh, stern line?

Stern line.

I'm never good with names.

Your mom and I took a month before we found one for you.

What'd you call me in the meantime?

What's -her -face.

Your mom wanted to call you Celia.

Celia? After her favorite aunt.

What did you want to call me?

Nah.

Be quick.

Cisco.

I'm on my way.

Bye, Daddy.
