- the forecast, plenty of sunshine for the state

A 9-year-old metro girl
has a new lease on life-

The Dr. Marjorie Show.

The lines are open.
504-555-0199. Call in now.

All right, next call.

Doctor, I just want you to know
how much your support has meant.

Oh, it just takes time.

I know, and I
really appreciate it.

You have been a great, great
inspiration to our listeners, Ray...

...and although you have
come a very long way...

- ... the journey to healing isn't over yet.
- Tell her you love her.

Yeah, well, I'm a
changed man, doc.

And now that I'm getting out,
there's somebody very special...

- ... I'm gonna get back in my life.
- Oh, and I'm sure you will.

I'm sure you will, but
it does take time and...

Go get them, Ray-Ray.

Hey, Ray, take
care now, all right?

You too, bro.

These are for you.

- What am I gonna do with these?
- Give them to your kids.

Don't be afraid to read one,
maybe you'll learn something.

- Dinosaurs?
- Helped pass the time.

One in here special for you.

"39 Paths to Self
Discovery by Dr. Marjorie. "

I've walked down every one of those
paths in the last seven years, Jimmy.

Let me tell you something, Oprah,
all roads lead right back here.

- Failure is a self-fulfilling
prophecy. - Just platitudes, brother.

Easier said than done.

We'll see.

- Good luck, Ray-Ray.
- Thanks, man.

You know what? It's a
whole new world for me.

From now on, it's just Ray.

Just plain Ray.

Let me ask you something, what's a guy
fresh out of prison usually do first?

Usually something stupid.

Not this time, my friend.

We'll keep a light on for you.

Ray-Ray.

Come look at me, Ray.

Look at me, Ray-Ray.

You can't ignore me
forever. I'm here to help.

I don't see anybody else around to help
you on the day you get out of prison.

Friends forever.

Through thick and thin. Come on, Ray,
I'll give you a ride to wherever you want.

Come on, Ray-Ray. I owe
you that much at least.

It's Ray. Plain Ray.

What happened to the other Ray?

- I wanna drive.
- What?

I wanna drive.

I've been inside for seven years.
It's what I do. I wanna drive.

You wanna drive?

If that'll make you happy.

- What are you doing?
- You're right, Larue.

You do owe me one.

Give me back my car!

This is no way to
continue a friendship!

Damn. I can't believe
I fell for that.

See you tomorrow.

I'm the inventor of my future.

I'm the inventor of my future.
I'm the inventor of my future.

Hey, Slim.

Ray-Ray.

It's just Ray. Plain Ray.

Nice car.

Thanks. A friend
loaned it to me.

- You shouldn't have come here, Ray.
- I told you I would. I had to.

Okay, then you do
me a favor, Ray.

You turn around and
you leave right now.

Damn it. I didn't
want this to happen.

Oh, my God.

Sally?

Are you who I think you are?

Oh, you take my breath away.

Seems funny now, you're being
so grown up and all, but here.

I'm sorry, but I don't
know what you expected.

Every journey
begins with a step.

Hey, over here.

Sally, sorry to surprise you.
I told your mom I was coming.

I guess she didn't believe me or something but
- Stop.

Come on.

How about it? Fresh start?
Remember the handshake?

You really think a
stupid teddy bear...

...and some lame handshake
are going to make things okay?

I'm a different man
now, a better man.

Yeah. Then maybe you should
try your fresh start in Alaska.

Then I'll do what I've always
done, pretend you don't exist.

Which one of you is
blowing off fireworks?

He snuck up behind me and
he almost busted my eardrums.

"All warfare is based
on deception," buttwipe.

Yeah, and "he will win who knows
when to fight and when not to. "

- You read The Art of War by Sun Tzu?
- Yeah, who hasn't?

Listen. You guys need to find a
better way to channel your aggression.

I found macramé to be
strangely comforting.

Show's over.
Everyone, get to class.

You two, come with me.

- Thank you, sir.
- Sure.

Miss Miller?

Yes. Thank you, Mr...?

Ray Bradstone, Sally's dad.

Oh, how do you do?

I'm Miss Miller.

Sally, it's so nice to
finally meet your father.

Yeah, me too.

I've only met your lovely wife.

I guess you've
been busy working?

Funny, I just spent the
last seven years in federal-

Government.

Yeah, he does a lot of work
for the federal government.

Oh, I see. Mr. Bradstone...

- ... do you know about our school trip?
- School trip?

Sally, I can't believe you
haven't told your dad. How come?

You know, he's been working
a lot lately. And it just-

Well, we have a bit of a problem that
I think you might be able to help with.

The school trip is
scheduled for next weekend...

- ... and we're short a chaperone.
- No, no, no.

The New Orleans Museum of Art.
The dinosaur exhibit is there.

Dinosaurs? I love dinosaurs.

Well, fantastic.
It's settled then.

Yeah, I guess it is.

- Excuse me.
- Of course.

Hey. If this is gonna
work between us...

...we gotta confront it,
tell the truth and let it go.

No, this isn't going
to work between us.

What did you expect me to say to
her, "Meet my dad, the criminal"?

- I appreciate you not selling me out, but-
- I didn't do that for you. I did it for me.

- I don't even know you.
- That's why I'm here. To change that.

Oh, really?

Yeah, what was the last thing
you said, the "let it go" part?

You might wanna
try that, like, now.

Because if you go on
that field trip, I'm not.

Your husband hurt you very
much, and no one's denying that.

But you have to let
it go and move on.

Remember the three essentials?

- Confront it. Be truthful. Let it go.
- Confront it. Be truthful. Let it go.

Now, sounds like it's
time, don't you think?

I've already forgotten the car
incident and I'm willing to try again.

- What do you want?
- I want a minute.

- I don't have a minute.
- This can't be where you're staying.

This can't be the digs of the best
driver and getaway man in the business.

I know how it is when you get out.
You need help? I'm here to help.

Take this. It's my pleasure.

You need to walk away.

I respect that you're upset.
You got a right to be, my friend.

I was just trying to help.

You knew the silent alarm was
tripped, you walked out the back door.

Ray, the cops was
on you already.

You left me sitting in that
car. I still didn't rat you out.

That's exactly why I'm here, bro. To
try to make things right between us.

Honest to God, I
am haunted by it.

I mean it when I
say I owe you one.

I know that. I know I owe you.

I'm putting the crew back
together. It's a bank.

So ripe, it's a
crime how easy it is.

Make you whole again, get
you out of this toilet.

And all you gotta do
is what you do best.

Drive.

Seven years. Seven years.

I lost my wife, I lost my kid!

You'll change your mind,
Ray-Ray. You're one of us.

Since we were little kids.

Let it go.

I'm gonna make things right.

Got it?

- Dr. Etman, we have your new TV.
- Outstanding.

Family room, in the back
to the right. Thank you.

- All right.
- Thank you.

Honey, I'll see you later-

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

- I'm...
- Putting in the HD? Come on in.

No. I'm Lynne's ex.

Wow, okay.

Marvin Etman. Doctor.

Marvin.

Lynne and I are...

- Marvin, could we have a minute, please?
- Okay, then.

Did you think you could just
pretend everything was the same?

Come on, Lynne, I've
changed. I really have, okay?

- I need your help with her, that's all.
- I forgot I was leaving.

I'm holding a
staff meeting at 9.

- Did I mention I was a doctor?
- Yup.

All right.

Okay.

- You want me to stay?
- No, no, no, I'm fine, Marvin.

- Thank you.
- Okay. All right.

Marvin?

Marvin is a wonderful
man and Sally adores him.

And I'm Sally's father, okay?

I'm sorry, Ray, but we have built
a really good life without you here.

I'm a nurse now.

I struggled through school
as a single mom without you.

We did it and that's
the way it's gonna stay.

That is not fair.

I at least deserve a second
chance to know my own daughter.

Your daughter is not the
same little girl you remember.

What happened hurt her more
deeply than you could understand.

I understand how you
feel. I really do.

Just tell me what I
gotta do, you know?

I'll earn a second chance,
but tell me what I have to do.

What do you want me to say, Ray?
There's no magic bullet here.

Try acting like a parent.

Prove that you're
responsible, reliable.

Do you even have a job?

I gotta go.

I can fix anything
on four wheels.

- Ever done a Hummer?
- You're talking about the car, right?

I mean, pretty much,
a car's a car, right?

They're all the same.

How about a Smart car?

Is that a real car?

What about a hybrid?

Like a Smart Hummer?

Live fungus is
kept in the cooler.

And these are bran, low-fat,
no-fat chocolate chip cookies...

...our garden vegetable burgers, and
our tossed organic green salads...

...with a sprout
and carrot medley.

And that, of course,
is our wheatgrass.

Any questions?

- No meat?
- No meat.

But you got fungus.

Yes, indeed. We
move tons of fungus.

- Nice juicy steak, no?
- No.

Cholesterol? Through
the roof. Not good.

I gotta tell you, meat's
been pretty good to me.

Maybe you ought
to give it a shot.

Okay, that's good.

High school, good.

And for the past seven
years, you have been...?

Incarcerated.

Is that gonna be a problem?

It's hard being on
the outside, you know?

Things are different, stuff
just moves so much faster.

How are things with
your daughter, Ray?

Not good.

She really doesn't want to
have anything to do with me.

Maybe she just
needs some more time.

No.

You know, they seem happy.

Big house. Lots of stuff. My ex-wife's
boyfriend is this rich doctor.

I can't compete with that.

But you are her father, Ray.

Don't ever forget that.

Yeah. I haven't.

She has.

Fire funny to you?

Not ha-ha kind,
but, like, ironic.

Everything I had
left in the world...

...is in that apartment.

Man, that's... That's rough.

It wasn't much.

Tell me about the bank.

Good to have you back, Ray-Ray.

So glad to have you
aboard, Mr. Abromowitz.

Please. Stanley.

Well, it's just
you and me, Stanley.

- We have our hands full.
- As long as you're here, could be worse.

- I'm sorry? - I mean-
You know what you mean.

Thanks, Dad.

Eight-fifty-six
and six seconds.

Very efficient, Simon.

You know you're only
allowed two bags.

I'm aware of the regulations
but these are all essential.

Meds and specialty diet food.

Laptop. iPad and clothes.

Hypoallergenic pillow.

Okay. That's enough. My head
hurts, and we're late as it is.

So take your things over
there. I'll make an exception.

Nick?

Can you tell me why you
haven't loaded a single bag?

Picture hasn't formed yet.

Great.

It is good to have
you back, Ray-Ray.

You know the one thing I really
enjoyed about prison, Goldy?

What's that?

The absence of you.

Keep tapping your hands like
that I'm gonna cut them off.

I'm gonna cut off your hands.

Why-? What-? What
do you-? What?

Okay. Even if somebody trips the alarm,
cops' response is five to seven minutes.

We're out of there in
under three, no matter what.

In case something happens
in those three minutes...

...just press the call
button, let us know.

Goldy, the masks.

Condi Rice? Interesting choice.

They discontinued Rumsfeld.

Let's do this.

- You sure you're gonna be okay?
- Yes, Mom. It's only one night.

It's the first time we've been
away from each other like this.

I'll be fine.

You'll be fine.

Marvin will be fine. You're gonna
have a great time without me.

- You have my number if anything happens.
- I do as long as you haven't changed it.

I love you.

- I love you too.
- Okay.

- Have fun.
- I will.

- Be safe.
- Thanks, Mom.

- Trick or treat. Everybody down.
- Everybody down.

You heard the man.
Get on the ground.

Not you. Come on. Give it.
Come on, genius. All the money.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Heck, yeah, you're doing great.

Don't touch, Daddy. I can do it.

I know, I'm not doing anything.
You're doing it all by yourself.

I know, Daddy. I can
drive just like you now.

Okay. Pull over to the curb.

That was awesome.

Handshake?

Thanks, Daddy.

Not again.

This is Meredith Sherbourne confirming
my 4:00 with Dr. Frankenheimer.

I have the address, yes. Thanks.

Isn't there, like,
a recovery period?

Not with Dr. Frankenheimer.

He did Jessica Simpson, and her lips
were paparazzi-ready in 24 hours.

Mr. Choi? This is Ted.

The guy who ordered the six
boxes of cherry bombs and M-80s.

Okay. Yeah. I'll be at
your store before you close.

Josh, there's a seat back here.

Hey, Brenda. Okay if I sit here?

- Sure. Might as well.
- Thanks.

Children, I don't want any inappropriate
use of cell phones or iPods.

And no gum.

Oh, Mr. Bradstone.

You still short a chaperone?

Yes, we are. Welcome aboard.

Come on. Big bucks,
no whammies, baby.

Get that bag. Come on.

Coming up on two
and a half minutes.

- What the hell are you looking at?
- I'm sorry.

Your mask.

Condoleezza Rice, right?

What?

You think this is funny?

You do realize I'm robbing you,
right, lady? You do see the gun, right?

You think it's funny,
a gun in your face?

Like I won't shoot you dead?

Like I'm joking around?

So you didn't intend
it to be funny?

Everybody, listen up.

I would like you to meet
Sally's father, Mr. Bradstone.

He will be joining us.

Please, God, take me now.

- Oh, won't you sit down?
- Thanks.

Cops! You said five minutes!

They're still a ways off and we've
got Ray-Ray behind the wheel. Let's go.

Thank you very much.

Hey, okay, let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.

- Okay. Go, go, go. Come on.
- Go, go, go.

Where the hell is Ray-Ray?

I'm gonna kill Ray-Ray twice.

- He took the keys. Why take the keys?
- You serious?

Shut up, all right?

They didn't see us come out the bank.
They don't know we robbed the bank.

Just be calm. Stay calm.

Run!

Del, where the
hell are you going?

Listen to me. Please,
get off this bus now.

I'm begging you.

I get off this bus,
I lose you forever.

Same goes if you stay.

Let it go.

Oh, dude, you messed
up my bags, man.

- Hey.
- He's got the money.

Come on. We gotta go. That money
ain't no good to us in jail.

- What the hell is he doing?
- Larue, we gotta go now.

Hey, you probably
ought to get moving.

Cops are gonna jam
us up. No field trip.

I like to let the
engine warm up first.

I find that a warm
engine is a happy engine.

It's warm. Go.

Now.

Officer involved in a
10-20. Possibly 10-20-I.

Excuse me. You don't
wanna go to work today.

- Why not?
- Because we have guns.

And we need your car.

- It's a police emergency.
- Commandeering.

Except we're not the police.

I always wanted to do that.

We gotta get that money back.

There.

Well, look who's
going on a field trip.

Hey, hey, hey.

- Come on. The truck.
- I see it.

The truck!

So let me get this straight.

He took your Visa, your
MasterCard, your American Express...

Get out.

You're not supposed
to move after a blow.

- I just went to a safety seminar.
- Come on. Get out of here.

Hey. You bruised my coccyx.

I don't see the bus.

Well, Redwood Junior High
School loves New Orleans.

We're just gonna
ask a few questions.

- Who would you say was in charge?
- I'm not following.

It's a simple question.
Who was in charge?

Bush or Cheney?

Not sure.

I couldn't keep my eyes
off of Condoleezza Rice.

It made no sense to me.

A man chooses a Condoleezza
Rice mask to rob a bank...

...then gets offended when somebody
has a perfectly normal reaction to it?

At first I thought, "Hey, I
almost don't mind being robbed...

...by a guy in a Condoleezza Rice mask.
It shows he has a sense of humor. "

I like a guy with
a sense of humor.

Detectives? We found
these keys in the bushes.

They fit the SUV out
front. And we got a print.

Let me up. I gotta
go talk to my kid.

Sally, I know I don't have a
place in your heart right now...

...or your mom's.

At least not yet.

But I was kind of hoping...

...that you could give me a chance
to at least show you the real me.

This might be my last shot
at it. What do you say?

I don't see you.

I don't hear you.

You're not even on the bus.

Stop the bus.

- What?
- You heard me. I said, stop the bus.

Hand it over.

- Don't play dumb. Hand it over.
- Look, the shot wasn't meant for you.

Collateral damage is an inherent
byproduct of any armed conflict.

All due respect to Sun Tzu...

...where I come from...

...you find the
guy that did it...

...you tear his heart out.

I'm Mr. Bradstone.

I'm the chaperone.

It is too frigging loud in here.

And I've got a headache
the size of the moon.

Mr. Bradstone-

Now, I've got no intentions of traveling
with a bunch of screaming misfits.

So tone it way down.

And don't test me,
or it'll get ugly.

If you understand
English raise your hands.

Now shut up.

Mr. Bradstone. Could...?

Hi.

We don't ever tell our
children to shut up.

Even when they misbehave
and act like brats.

Why not?

Do you know the
definition of "lawsuit"?

No matter what
these children do...

...they cannot be met with
such verbal aggression.

Do you hear that? Librarians
kill for that kind of quiet.

I know.

Me too.

The problem is that when misbehavior
is met with your kind of strictness...

...bad behavior
stops immediately...

...but then it begins
again and again and again.

Okay. Yeah.

Your turf.

Thank you.

Seen his tattoo? It's not
the type you get in the mall.

It's the type you get in a back alley with
a pen, guitar strings and a 9-volt battery.

Plus he read The Art of War.

Yeah, I know. I thought I was
bad. I've only read the CliffNotes.

- He's either a narc or a CIA agent.
- Or both.

He's hot. Old hot, but still.

Scary hot.

This guy's probably Special
Forces or Navy SEALs.

My marriage was a disaster.

I've been divorced seven years.

A day doesn't go by when I don't
think of it and get a pain right here.

Confront it. Tell
the truth. Let it go.

You knocked off the first
one, work on the other two.

I feel something very
deeply for Miss Miller.

Happy for you.

But I need your advice.

You're a man of the world.

What do I say?

I'm so out of practice.

All right, listen.

You're obviously a
big talker, right?

The key for you is, let her
do some talking, all right?

And then when she's done
talking, inhale deeply...

...hold it.

Then respond.

Lets her think
you're a big listener.

Breath mint
wouldn't hurt either.

Came on a little strong, huh?

I mean, we're here now, right?

So you gotta make the
most of the moment.

Are you high?

When are you gonna understand...

...that every second you're
here drives us farther apart?

Excuse me, sir.

My name is Josh. Listen, I really
appreciate what you did back there.

I swear I read
this page 11 times.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know,
it was pretty loud.

Yeah. Nice meeting you.

Well, I'm glad
somebody appreciated it.

Just because that print is Ray Bradstone's
does not put him back behind bars.

It sure as hell puts
him at the crime scene.

Ray drives.

He saw things going bad on
the inside and took a walk.

Seven years ago, I busted this guy.
You know what the joker says to me?

"Thank you. I'm gonna
turn my life around. "

And you know what?
I believed him.

Del.

Hey, Del.

Del, can you hear me?

There's no school today, Mommy.

All right, Del, we know
you hit that bank on Main...

...and your associates, Phillip
Larue and Goldy Stentz, stole a car...

...right around the
corner from the bank.

Why don't you make it easy on
yourself and tell us where they are.

You saw a shooting star?

Focus, Del. Where's the money?

Pretty bus.

What bus?

Pretty signs.

Going on a trip for school.

School trip? Field
trip of some kind? What?

Oh, jeez.

Yeah?

Papers?

Redwood Junior High
School. Please connect me.

Redwood Junior High.

Yeah. You have that
field trip today, right?

Yeah, that's right. Who is this?

My niece forgot her-

She left her backpack in my car.

She needs it right away.

I'm sorry. They're on their way.

We sent home agendas
for all the students.

Perhaps I could contact the
teacher in charge of the-

Well, I'm in a bit of a panic here
because my niece needs her insulin...

...and she forgot her schedule,
and you know how kids are.

It's not our policy to give out
schedules over the phone, sir.

Really? Well, I'm a lawyer
with Stein, Simon and Moxie.

And if my little niece
doesn't get her insulin...

...she could go into a coma...

...and, you know what, boom, she'd
go in a coma and she could die.

I'll still need the child's
name, sir. It's school policy.

- Bradstone.
- Bradstone.

Oh, Sally, yes.

Well, they're scheduled to arrive at
the New Orleans Museum of Art at 11:00...

...then on to a tour
of the French Quarter...

...and then on to the Satchmo
Music Festival this evening.

Hello?

Hello?

You know, Larue,
I've been thinking.

So Del ran around one side
of the bus with our money...

...and come out the other side without
it, then it turns out Ray-Ray's on the bus?

I mean, you don't think...

You do think.

Ray-Ray.

Okay, everybody, listen up.

There are a few rules
that we need adhere to.

People.

Excuse me. I need
your attention, please.

People, I am talking.

Oh, for the love of
- Children.

Hey!

Listen up!

As of this moment, consider
yourself under my watch.

I expect all rules
to be followed.

If not, meal rations will be taken
away, visitor privileges denied...

...and hard labor instituted.

I mean, you'll get a detention.

Right.

So file in, quietly.

You're learning.

Is this a field trip
or basic training?

It's like a bad
episode of Nanny 911.

And I thought my
parents were losers.

Del Muniz sees a bus here by the school,
maybe it's a field trip or something.

Ten minutes later, the truck guy sees
Goldy and Larue driving alongside a bus.

- You think it's the same bus?
- Maybe.

What if our man
Ray-Ray is on that bus?

I bet you that if
we find that bus...

...we're gonna find Ray
and a whole lot of money.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I'm so sorry, but there's
been a bit of a mix-up.

Unfortunately, the docent assigned
to your class has called in sick...

...and we don't have anyone
else to cover the tour.

No tour.

- Yeah.
- Wait just a minute.

You don't have
anyone to fill in?

I'm sorry, but
not at the moment.

No problem.

I know the perfect person.

This is Oviraptor philoceratops.

- Anybody know what that means?
- No.

Sally?

No clue.

It means "egg snatcher. "

- What was your name?
- Simon.

Not only is Simon
immaculately overdressed...

...he also happens
to be correct.

Oh, so they stole eggs.

Kind of like dinosaur robbers.

Maybe they should've returned the
eggs and gone to dinosaur jail.

Maybe. Except that they weren't egg
robbers, they were egg protectors.

Oviraptors lived their
whole lives devoted...

...to defending their nests
and feeding their young.

Well, they sucked at that, didn't
they? Since they are now extinct?

First of all, you
shouldn't say "suck. "

Second of all, they
did the best they could.

Well, their best
wasn't good enough.

Was it?

Okay then.

Moving on.

Does anybody know what modern animal
is a direct descendant of the Oviraptor?

Anyone other than Simon?

How about you? I see you
trying to hide back there.

Come on, give it a shot.

I don't know. Lizards?

That's a really good guess.

I'm gonna give you a hint.

They're around us everywhere,
crapping on everything.

Dogs?

So you think that a
Tyrannosaurus rex...

...is now being carried around
in a little bag by Paris Hilton?

- What about cats?
- Way off.

Alligators.

Snakes?

Bears?

- Elephants?
- Incorrect-o.

Chickens.

Wait. We have a winner.

As funny as that
sounds, she's right.

It's birds.

It's been proven now that birds'
ancestors all had fused clavicles...

...and well developed furcula.

You're saying birds
descended from dinosaurs.

Right.

That's pretty cool.

All right, who wants
to see an Allosaurus?

This way.

You are doing
wonderfully, Mr. B.

Sorry.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Your dad's pretty awesome.

He's one surprise after another.

You should see my beat on the woolly
mammoth. Really butter your muffin.

Kids, all right.

We've seen enough dead animals.

How many dinosaurs
you're gonna look at?

Let's just go back to the
bus and just move on. Okay.

No, no. It's not
part of the plan.

Everything's gonna be fine. Stanley here
is gonna take you all back to the bus.

- Just go with Stanley. I gotta take a leak.
- We have another hour and a half.

I know, but Stanley's gonna move
you along. Just follow Stanley.

Go with Stanley, get to the bus.

I'll meet you out there.
It's gonna work out.

- Really?
- It'll be fine. It'll be great.

Okay, we'll go back.

Don't panic. Everything's fine.

This way. It's okay. Come on.

Okay, quietly, please.

Orderly. Go on.

- You hear that?
- He likes to sing...

...while he goes number two.

He'll have to pick up the
tempo a bit. We got a fire.

Trust me. Unless the fire is under
his rear end, he's not moving.

- Hey, buddy, you done in there?
- Nope.

What do you think you're doing?

Little man, Daddy's coming in, okay?
Just stay here until I put out the fire.

Daddy, are the firemen in here?

- What are you doing here?
- You fed us to the dogs, Ray.

I changed my mind, end of story.

I'm gonna make things right with my
kid and you're not gonna screw it up.

I owe you nothing.

I think you broke my nose.

That's a nice touch, using the
kid as a cover, but I don't buy it.

You left us to take the hit, to get
even, and now you got the money too?

How would I have your money?

We saw Del doing his little magic
trick, getting the money on that bus.

I walked away to save my family.

Yeah?

I tell you to get up?

We'll find you, Ray. You
can run, but you can't hide.

I see either one of you near my
daughter, I'm gonna finish this.

- Let's go. Everybody on the bus.
- No. What's going on?

- What happened?
- Nothing. Just gotta keep schedule.

Let's go. Get on the bus.

Listen, we can't go yet
because Nick isn't here.

This is a fire lane. The fire
department's gonna be here any second.

You got his cell
phone? Call him.

We aren't supposed to
leave for another hour.

I know, but who'd have known?
Fire. We gotta go. Come on.

Get on the bus. Sometimes
you gotta zig, not zag.

Go. Call Nick, you tell him to meet us
at the hotel. Everything will be fine.

All right, who's ready
for some field tripping?

We gotta get a cab.

Right. I gotta do
something about this.

Why are you driving so fast?

- You're scaring everybody.
- Please, Sally. Trust me, okay?

I might not be the best parent
in the world, I know how to drive.

- Sorry.
- No problem.

Did I not park
the bus right here?

We are gonna take a tour of
the historic French Quarter.

At the end of the tour, we're gonna
go by St. Louis Cemetery Number 1.

That cemetery was
established in 1789.

And in that cemetery, we're gonna
visit the tomb of Marie Laveau...

...the voodoo queen
of New Orleans.

Supposedly that tomb is the
second most visited tomb...

...in the United States.

- Larue? - Ray-Ray,
you stole my car.

You stole my money, okay? You
humiliated us in a public bathroom.

My patience is wearing
thin with you, my friend.

Back the hell off, Larue.

You give me back my money and I'll
back off. I'm looking right at you, Ray.

Surprise.

I swear to God, I'm gonna shoot you in
the face in front of your little girl.

- Then you know what
I'm gonna do-? - No. No.

You don't come
anywhere near my kid.

I've got your money right here.

I'll bring it to you.

Antoine's, across the street
from where you're standing.

All right? I'll come to you.

Now you're talking
sense, Ray-Ray.

I'll be right here,
I'll be here waiting.

- That's them.
- You got them.

Ray-Ray, you son of a bitch,
you double-crossed me again!

You're dead!

Children, you have 20 more
minutes, then back to the bus.

Kellan Smith, right?

- Yeah.
- He's awesome.

Like, nobody here
even knows who he is.

Well, they say that
song is about his father.

Well, yeah, stepfather really...

- ... but same idea.
- Yeah.

It's like he writes for-

- I don't know.
- Outsiders.

Exactly, you know.

People with brains, not
these clones or wannabes.

Can't imagine any of Britney's
songs being inspired by Kierkegaard.

- Although, you never know.
- Yeah.

I think it's pretty cool your
dad came on this field trip.

- Really?
- Yeah. He's not like most parents...

...where they build these
invisible walls around them.

Oh, no, he's been behind walls.

Well, you can tell he cares about you.
He just wants to spend time with you.

I've been looking all over for you. I
thought we could have lunch together?

I'm not hungry.
Here, just take that.

Oh, God, sorry. It's my mother.

Take it. She's probably
just worried about you.

I'll talk to you later.

Hello?

Sally, honey, it's me.

Everything going good?

Brilliant.

Yeah?

Oh, Marvin, can
you turn the fan on?

Yeah. Are you
learning anything new?

No, honey, I'm sorry,
you're cutting out.

- Where is he?
- Hold on.

- What? What the hell?
- It's confusing.

- It's fine, I got it.
- Is the weather okay?

I'm sorry. It's a
universal remote.

It's supposed to do this.

- Mom, what's going on in there?
- Nothing. Just hit the off button, Marvin.

Can probably start the
car with this thing.

- Did you know that my
father-? - Honey, what?

My glasses, I can't see.

- dinosaur freak.

What? Whose father did what?

- Just turn it off!
- I got it. I got it.

- Mom, Ray is one of our chaperones.
- Look, honey, I can't hear you at all.

I'll call you back later. I
love you. I love you so much.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I got the fan!

But he's been in prison
the last seven years.

AII I'm saying is Ray-Ray was on
the bus, the money was on the bus.

- Like you said.
- So you're saying he planned it?

Ray-Ray did more than
change his name in prison.

- He became a mastermind.
- Yeah, well...

- What a dump.
- Yeah.

If my friend can't sell it quickly,
he's gonna torch it for the insurance.

Real estate market
is tough out here.

- Put your guns down.
- You put them down.

- No, no, you put your guns down.
- You put your guns down.

Well, you shot the
lock of my door.

He's right.

Technically, we did shoot
the lock off his door.

It was a nice lock.

All right.

- Happy now, Kevin?
- It's been a while, Larue.

- What do you want?
- We need your help.

Thank you, Mr. B.

That extra time in the
French Quarter made the day.

Isn't it the most
fascinating place?

The food, the culture,
the history, the voodoo?

And to think, we'd never
have had time for all that...

...if we hadn't left
the museum early.

I know sometimes I get so
attached to my schedule...

...I forget to
live in the moment.

Life is like a
raging river, Miss M.

You never know what's
around the next bend.

Make sure your boat doesn't
leak and go with the flow.

That's good advice.

You know, the next time
I think I'm gonna zig...

...I might just zag.

Oh, and here's our hotel.

Okay, everybody, listen up.

You have exactly two
hours inside the hotel-

And I do mean inside the hotel.

- before this evening's
festivities begin.

In the meantime...

...your luggage will
be taken into the lobby.

You will go to the
front desk, register...

...get your keys, and
settle into your rooms.

If you understand,
raise your hands!

Very good.

Sorry. Parmesan.

- Wish me luck.
- Good luck.

You're going to die
when you see the new me.

I can't believe
you're gonna do this.

Angelina's lips won't
have anything on me.

And he'll forget all about
little Miss Avril wannabe.

How far are you from the
Sheraton Hotel downtown?

Okay, I need two hours to pick
up my fireworks and get back.

All right, guys. Come on, kids.

Nick, glad to have you back.

Yeah, cool. You're
the coolest, Miss M.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- So why did you take my bus, man?
- Sorry about that, buddy.

I just got this thing about doing time
- I mean, being on time.

We had plenty of time, bro.

Did we really?

I mean, is there ever
really enough time, Nick?

I mean, honestly, what is time?

You can't save it, you can't spend it,
right? And when it's gone, it's gone.

Know what I mean? Does time even
exist, Nick? If time doesn't exist...

...and there's just the moment,
I had to seize that moment.

- Do you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah.

I just don't understand
how that applies to-

It doesn't apply, Nick.
That's the beauty of it.

- We're just glad you're back, man.
- Cool.

Now, can I get my green duffel
bag? I'm gonna bring it in myself.

Green duffel bag. Right. Yeah.

This it?

That's it. Thank you
very much, my friend.

Cool. We're cool?

Now is not the time.

Not that cool. Right. Okay.

- Larue, it's Ray.
- You lying...

...dirty, low-life,
double-crossing son of a-!

I didn't double-cross
anybody, all right?

I don't know how those cops got there
or how your money got on the bus.

If I had a plan, why would
I wanna give your money back?

Meet me in front of the Sheraton
Hotel, I'll hand over your money.

No way.

You know we're onto
you. You need us gone.

You ain't gonna
manipulate me again.

- Hold on.
- Don't put me on hold!

- He put you on hold?
- He put me on hold.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How you doing?

I've been giving you a
hard time about being here.

Not at all. Listen.

If I was in your position, I'd
be doing the exact same thing.

So do you wanna get
something to eat?

Yeah, that'd be great.

I gotta finish up a
little bit of business.

Can I just meet you down
in the lobby in two minutes?

- Okay.
- Cool. All right.

- Continue.
- What was that all about?

- Nothing.
- Is this another one of your tricks?

Listen, all I wanna do is
give you your money back.

Good. We're gonna meet on
my turf this time, all right?

Warehouse Number 5. Clayton
and Mott. Near the bridge.

Fine. I'll be
there in two hours.

Two hours?

Right now, Ray-Ray.

Listen, I've got plans.
You'll get your money.

What, you think he's legit?

No. Not for a second.

But I got other ideas.

- Josh, right?
- Yes, sir.

Josh, I've been out of
the loop for a while...

...and you seem
like a standup kid.

- So- -
What's up?

Well, I really don't know what kids
like anymore, you know what I mean?

- In particular, my kid.
- Sally.

Yeah.

I'm looking for something cool to do
with her today, you know, just her and I.

Satchmo Music Festival
not working out?

It's just that with the music and
all her friends, know what I mean?

- We're not gonna be able to talk.
- Well, that's true.

All right. Well, New Orleans is a
cool city, so let me check online.

I think there's
something she will like.

Hey, and let's keep this
between you and me, right?

- Nobody else's business, right?
- You got it.

You know what I think is
interesting? That we both ate...

...the same part of the croissant.
Don't you think that's interesting?

Yes. I usually like
jelly with my croissant...

- Oh, sure.
- ... instead of butter.

- Or butter sometimes too.
- Yeah.

Excuse me. Miss M, I kind
of got a favor to ask.

Sure. Anything, Mr. B.

Well, Sally and I haven't had too much
time together lately because of my work.

I was wondering if it would be possible
for us to maybe zig instead of zag.

Maybe blow off the
music festival...

...and she and I could spend
some one-on-one time together?

Why not? After all,
you are a chaperone.

So she'll be in very good hands.

- Thanks, Miss M. You're the best.
- Thanks.

Hey, hey, hey. I
did what you said.

You know, every time
she stopped talking...

...I counted, you know, in my
head, of course, the two and a half.

Boy, did she take me in.

You changed my life.

I'm not a big hugger, all right?

Okay. You know, you can
play that, you know...

...big, strong, lean, handsome
in that rugged kind of way...

...devil-may-care man's man
all you want, Mr. Bradstone.

But you have a tender side
that can't be denied, my friend.

Come on. Come.

- That had better be your fanny pack.
- Yeah.

First thing I ever bought your mom was
one of those antique hurricane lamps.

And I was never really the
romantic type, you know?

Matter of fact, I don't think I
actually knew what the word meant.

Until one night, I was a
bartender at this restaurant...

...in walks your mom.

She's gonna have dinner
with some loser, right?

Anyway, on the table, we had
one of those hurricane lamps...

...which, by the way, are
a terrible pain to light.

Anyway, the light from that
lamp on your mother's face...

...God, it was just
magical, you know?

Right then, I knew
what romance was.

Why...? Why do you
think she married you?

She said I made her laugh.

This is it.

- Music Factory?
- Yeah. Come on.

Thank you.

- Excuse me.
- Yeah.

You got anything cool on vinyl like
Sinatra, Zeppelin, Kellan Smith?

Dude, eclectic taste.

Sinatra, Zeppelin,
Smith. Trifecta.

I tip my hat. Come this way.

Kellan Smith.

- Yeah, you know him?
- I love him.

Really? I heard he
was really good...

...but I wasn't sure.
Thought I'd check him out.

Who you looking for?

Chairman of the
Board, Frank Sinatra.

- He's a little bit before your time.
- Definitely.

- He's a little bit before my time too.
- Okay.

So I started reading up on
this guy when I was inside.

And it turns out, we got
a lot in common, you know?

We both hit rock bottom. He
was sick and he was broke...

...and borrowing money from this
actress chick, Ava Gardner...

- ... who was huge at the time.
- You're really into this guy.

Well, we both turned our
lives around, you know?

And Frank's music gave me hope.

Hope like I hadn't had
since you were born.

Nothing? Sorry.

- Why'd you do it?
- What?

Leave us.

I made a lot of mistakes in my life. I
grew up with a lot of the wrong people.

I was trying to find an easy way to
give you and your mom the things...

...that I thought you deserved.
I didn't wanna get caught.

How come the first five
years you were away...

...you didn't write
me a single letter?

I thought you were
better off without me.

You know, and...

But then I started listening
to Frank and Dr. Marjorie.

And I started making
up for lost time.

Yeah.

I got those letters a
little late, don't you think?

It's never too late.

You gotta have faith in people.

Faith?

Do you have any idea what our
lives were like after you went away?

Mom cried for months.

For months? Your
mom cried for months?

Yeah.

And school. Try explaining
to your friends...

...why your dad can't come
to your soccer games...

...or show up for parent
night like the other dads.

Because he's in jail.

I know I've hurt you bad...

...and "sorry" doesn't cut it...

...but everything that I learned,
everything, was to find my way back to you.

This is lovely.

- The tea is lovely.
- And so is the company.

Miss Miller?

- Yes?
- Excuse me.

We're with the Lafayette
Police Department.

Do you know this man?

Yes. He's one of our chaperones.

Has he done something?

Just got out of prison. He's
a suspect in a bank robbery.

Your class is in
danger. Know where he is?

No.

No.

Yes. Yes.

He's out in New Orleans
somewhere with his daughter...

...probably maybe
robbing a bank.

- Oh, my God!
- Okay, okay.

Remain calm.

Gather the kids and let's
gather up over here. Let's go.

You know something, Ray...

Sally, you don't have
to call me Ray, okay?

Mr. Bradstone seems kind
of odd, don't you think?

Okay. I guess Ray is a
step in the right direction.

You know something, Ray...

...I had a good time today.

Yeah?

Me too.

You should be with your friends.
I'm sure Josh is looking for you too.

Josh?

He's a good kid. I like him.

And he likes you too.
I see it in his eyes.

What are you going to do?

Take a walk down by the
river, enjoy the fresh air.

You go have fun.

And now some breaking news.

Ray, alias "Ray-Ray,"Bradstone,
recently released...

...after serving seven years in
federal prison for bank robbery...

...is a suspect in the robbery of the
Lafayette Central Bank this morning.

Other suspects include
Phillip "The Cat"Larue...

...Meyer "Goldy" Stentz,
and Theodore "Del"Muniz.

You're late. Come here.
Go. You stand right here.

Okay. When I give you the
signal, you start playing.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Honey? You ready?

- In a second.
- Okay.

- Meyer "Goldy" Stintz,
and Theodore "Del"Muniz.

The fourth suspect, Ray-Ray Bradstone,
is believed to be in New Orleans...

...after hijacking a Redwood
Junior High School bus...

...on its way to a field trip.

Lynne?

Dinner's ready.

Ready, ready.

- Marvin, I'm leaving!
- What?

I get to spend some time with
my little girl today. Good time.

Oh, I'm so happy for you, Ray.

Everything is just
working out like you said.

- You changed my life.
- Oh, we change our own lives, Ray.

You did that yourself.

Just stuck to the
three essentials.

Confronted it, told the
truth, she's letting it go.

She's letting it
go? What about you?

I don't understand.

Hey! Ray-Ray!

Looks like she
misses me already.

Thanks for everything. Bye.

Hi.
- Oh, look.

- It's Ray Bradstone, still at large.
- What?

Just quoting the evening news.

So glad we got to spend some
quality time together, Ray-Ray.

Guess I'll see you in
another seven years.

Sally, I swear, I had nothing
to do with robbing that bank.

Really? So they just flashed
your mug shot on national TV...

- ... for your adorable smile?
- I was on the bus with you.

And your fingerprints happened to be
on the keys to the getaway car? Really?

You are what you always
were, a Iying criminal.

- Don't say that word.
- Which one?

Liar or criminal?

I said it again.

Sally, I swear to you
I didn't rob that bank.

I mean, I was there and I
was in the car, but I swear-

I knew it.

I knew something was wrong
the moment you got on the bus.

I'm an idiot.

I actually believed
you had changed.

Sally, wait.

You're not an idiot
and I have changed.

Okay. I know I've let you and
your mom down in the past...

...but I spent the last seven years of my
life trying to figure out how to change that.

I don't ever wanna be
away from you again.

I just need some time to figure
out how to make this right.

Please.

How are we supposed to get out?

Simple. Return the money,
let them take the heat for it.

What is it?

I take it back,
nothing is ever simple.

Those guys are cops.

Sally...

...I need you to do me a favor,
okay? I've got nobody else.

Please.

What do you want me to do?

I need you to go to my room,
bring me the green duffel bag.

Okay?

Be careful.

Nick, what's going
on? Where is everybody?

Lockdown, maximum
security, extreme duress.

Miss M is in, like,
cardiac à la mode.

Why? Why are we leaving?
We can't leave yet.

You tell me. My dad's a plumber.

Oh, no, no, no. I
want that bag with me.

Hey.

They're putting the class in
lockdown and we're leaving.

I have to go back or they'll miss
me and that's not good for you.

Listen, I'll get rid of the
money, I'll turn myself in.

But they'll arrest you.

Sally, listen.

Something Dr. Marjorie
said to me about letting go.

Coming back here, forcing you
into something you didn't want...

...it was wrong.

What do you mean?

I was thinking about my
best interests, not yours.

The last thing I ever wanted
to do was put you in harm's way.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- What are you doing?
- Shut up, stupid. Get in there.

Get off me! No!

You make a sound or
look at me cross-eyed...

...I'll shoot your old man
and shoot you in front of him.

That makes no sense.

- Sure, it does.
- No, it doesn't, moron.

What good would it do to shoot her
in front of him if he's already dead?

Okay, I might just shoot
her now, you like that?

Is that a better plan?
You like that better?

Then we'll have nothing to
bargain with Ray-Ray for the money.

- I'm guessing you're the leader.
- Right, sweetheart.

Process of elimination.

I learned about
it in statistics.

And it's Ray, okay?

Just once. Ray.

You Ray-Ray Bradstone?

Ray Bradstone, yeah.

Come on in, brother.

My friend Larue says
you're a bad man.

Not to underestimate you.

So I brought my friends.

Listen, guys...

...I just wanna give
you back your money.

Looks like it's just me and you.

Hello?

- Ray-Ray? - It's
just Ray, moron.

- You set me up?
- Better than that.

I figured even if you managed to
get past the welcoming committee...

...I'd still need a backup plan.
I'm not as stupid as you think I am.

- Say hello.
- Daddy?

Sally? Oh, my God, okay.

Sally, listen, I
will come for you.

Okay? You will be fine.

- Do you hear me?
- Daddy, please-

I can't believe how she's
grown into such a woman.

- I will kill you twice if you touch her.
- Okay, good.

So I can assume you're still in possession
of my money since you're not dead yet.

Larue, you are exactly as
stupid as I thought you were.

AII I wanna do is give
you back your damn money...

...and instead you kidnap
my daughter, you mo-

Hold on, Just Plain Ray.

Not in front of the kiddies.

Now, listen, I don't trust
you as far as I can spit you.

Okay? So here's how
we're gonna do this.

Tracy. Meredith?

Hey, how'd it go?

Ted, there you are.
Where have you been?

- Am I in trouble?
- No, no.

It's just, some unexpected
things have happened...

...so now we're all
waiting in there.

You think I'm gonna lose my job because
I let a bank robber be a chaperone?

Of course not. It not your
fault. Everything's fine.

- Everything's fine.
- Miss Miller.

I can't find Sally anywhere.

Well, not to worry.

I'm sure she'll be right along.

Now I've lost a child.

And do you think that would
be a good thing? No. No. No.

You have any questions?

I got it.

Listen, my daughter's life
is in your hands, all right?

This is all the money I have in this world
and you're the only person I can trust.

- We good?
- Sure.

- No cops.
- Sure.

Hey, buddy.

Little Sally here's
been chatting up a storm.

I can't wait to get rid of her.

Good.

Put her in the cab and
you'll get your money.

Where is it?

I'm your insurance.

Just let her get in the cab,
money will appear like magic.

Put her in the cab.

My pleasure.

Get in there.

Smell you later, kid.

Stop the cab.

Stop the cab.

Stop the cab.

Something's wrong, stop the cab.

Your father said no.

Stop the cab! Stop
the cab! Stop the cab!

It's the wrong bag!

You're scary, kid, but you're
not as half as scary as your dad.

I have never had so much
trouble giving somebody money.

I'd shoot you now,
but I need that money.

Listen, this is
an honest mistake.

I'm sure somehow the
bags just got switched.

It's probably on the bus. Not a big
deal. This doesn't have to go bad.

- You just let me shoot him right now.
- Shut up.

You worked it with Del and now you
got something going on with that kid.

Chip off the old block.

Listen, you don't get it, Larue.

That part of me, the guy that would
have stolen your money, the criminal...

...is gone. I got rid of him.

You guys can too.

You know, I'm not
saying it's easy.

But Dr. Marjorie...

...she really helped me
give birth to my new self.

There's some great mental exercises
in the back of this book that-

You know, or maybe not.

Sally Bradstone?

I'm Officer Fuentes. This is
my partner, Augie Donaldson.

Where's your father?

No idea.

Listen, Sally, the best way to help your
father is just to tell us where he is.

He didn't do anything.

He wasn't a part
of that robbery.

He's our chaperone.
He was on our bus.

Yeah, then why's he running?

And if that isn't true, concealing
a criminal's whereabouts is felony.

I don't know.

He walked me back to
the hotel then left.

I don't know where
he is. Honest.

All right, I want you
with the rest the class...

...until this is
resolved, understand?

Well, I'm so glad that
you're safe and sound.

Yeah, thanks.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Listen, this thing with your dad
must be kind of weird for you.

He's innocent. He's just
trying to straighten things out.

Yeah, he's a good
guy. I can tell.

Yeah.

- You've got an iPhone, right?
- Yeah.

- Have that app that tracks any iPhone?
- Yeah.

I need your help.

I gotta find my dad.

If you guys are planning an
escape op, I'll be able to help.

Me too.

I wrote a paper
last year called...

..."The Triangulation in the
Cell Phone Jungle for Dummies"...

...and sent it to the CIA.

- Did they read it?
- Yeah, but dismissed it...

...saying that it was the fantasies
of an overimaginative 13-year-old.

My dad says the
same thing to me.

The point is, if you need something,
or someone, found, I'm your man.

Go for it.

When was the last time
your father used his phone?

About 30 minutes ago.

- I'm assuming a Lafayette area code.
- Yes.

- Where?
- The Riverwalk.

- Got it.
- Wow, you're kind of scary.

Thanks.

Okay, okay. You're in.

Here's what I was thinking. We
have to distract Miss Miller, okay?

I have to go to the bathroom.

All right. It's right down
the hall. Don't be long.

Somebody has a gun
in the bathroom!

Oh, no, he's mine.

Nick, open the door.

Nick, Miss Miller is in
trouble. She needs you inside.

- Me?
- Yes.

Really? Cool.

- Let's go.
- All right, come on.

- Close the door.
- Okay, what-?

Hit any button.

- Which button?
- Hit any button. That one.

- Sit down and hang on. I can do this.
- You don't even know how to drive a car.

Who's driving the bus?

Sally.

Remember what I said
about you not being fired?

You're toast.

This is kidnapping. Endangering the
life of a minor. I'm calling my lawyer.

Holy crap. What
happened to your lips?

They're supposed to look
like Jessica Simpson's.

Look like you tried to
suck honey out of a beehive.

- Keep going straight.
- Okay.

- I'm calling the cops.
- Red light.

Red light. Red light.

Yeah! This day just
keeps getting better.

Where is it?

I told you, it's
probably on the bus.

Don't do that.

Don't insult my intelligence.

I've got 26 witnesses that
will swear I was on that bus...

...before the robbery
even went down.

How do I know that's
not the plan with Del?

With Del? I didn't even
know Del before the robbery.

I left to be with my daughter.

Oh, so now you're
Father of the Year.

You don't know that kid
any more than you know Del.

"Anger dwells only in
the bosom of fools. "

Einstein.

"A bullet that
dwells in the brain...

...leaves much pain. "

"Leaves much pain. "

Larue.

This is it.

Pull in here.

- Hold on.
- Cool.

Now listen to me, everybody.

I've spent just enough time with
my father today to realize...

...he's not the man
I thought he was.

He's made some mistakes,
but he's a good man.

At least he's trying to be.

Now he's in there, and
I'm going to get him out.

But, guys, I need help. I mean,
what if it was your dad in there?

I wouldn't get off this bus if my
entire family was in that place.

- So, what's the plan?
- Plan?

A plan? Yes.

"All men can see these
tactics whereby I conquer...

...but what none can see is the strategy
out of which victory is evolved. "

Sun Tzu, my friends.

Let's not just do this,
let's step up to this.

Yeah.

Come on.

Quiet. Not so loud.

Guys.

Open it.

Okay.

You guys go that way, we'll go this
way. Signal us when you're ready. Got it?

Roger that.

- Come on.
- Let's go.

We gotta be careful.

This is scary.

For the last time...

...where's that money?

On the bus.

Maybe he's telling the truth.

I'm telling you,
he's full of crap.

It's his mastermind brain
that's trying to trick us again.

The eagle has landed.

I repeat, the eagle has landed.

Okay, guys, you know what to do.

Go.

Police department,
state your emergency.

Finally. My emergency is that
I'm on the field trip from hell.

I'm having trouble
understanding what you're saying.

- Are you in immediate danger?
- Yes.

First of all, I think my
lips may actually explode.

All right. You go in that
way. I'm going this way.

My God, I'm gonna make a hideous
dead person. Please help me.

Okay, all right.

You're going down.

Now!

- Let it go and move on.
- The Dr. Marjorie Show. Hello?

What are you doing? Get up, man.

- What is this?
- Rotten kids.

Caller? Hello? Hello?
Can you hear me?

- Dad.
- Mr. Bradstone.

- Untie me.
- I got it.

- Got it?
- Yeah.

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

- Where you going?
- Don't shoot. I have the money.

- Yeah? Well, let's see it.
- It's right here.

All right.

Looks like it's all there.

Let's see if I get this
straight. He has taken-

You gotta hear this. I
think it's Ray Bradstone.

Caller, hold for
one minute, please.

- Your kid's smarter than you,
Ray-Ray. - It's Ray. Plain Ray.

Now let us go. You
have your money.

Oh, not so fast.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think
we have a very unusual call.

It appears we have
a crime in progress.

Now, we have alerted 911.

- We have called...
- All units in the vicinity of 1626 Mott...

...possible shots fired,
suspicious activity.

- Proceed with extreme caution.
- Let's go.

- and see what we hear.

Ray wasn't part of
that robbery, was he?

No.

That doesn't mean he didn't set it up
to rip us off for sending him to prison.

You are the reason
my dad went to jail?

No, Sally, that's on me.

- They just let me take the fall alone.
- My dad's innocent.

All he wants is to
be a father again.

Oh, yeah?

That really brings
a tear to my eye.

- You're dead.
- No!

- Bye-bye, Ray-Ray. - Nobody
move! Drop your weapon!

Drop it!

- Cuff him.
- All right, let's go.

Don't move. Hands behind
your back. Let's go.

- Bye-bye, Larue. - You
got lucky this time, Ray.

Move out, move out.

Well, ladies and gentlemen,
I think that's a first for me.

And maybe all of radio.

We just heard the apprehension of
criminals broadcast live on 91.6 FM...

...The Dr. Marjorie Show.

And looks like our caller, well,
he got everything he hoped for.

- Hey, hold on a second. Ray Bradstone?
- Yeah.

You're under arrest for the
robbery of Lafayette National Bank.

- But he's innocent.
- Step back. Police matter.

- I witnessed it.
- Hey, you can take him off.

Wait. Hold on. What?

Apparently, the whole thing
just went down live on WKNO.

May even give Larue a
radio show from the slammer.

He confessed to the whole thing.

- Sorry about this, Ray.
- Thanks.

It turns out you were right to
believe him. He did keep his promise.

He did.

I appreciate it.

Sally.

- My God, are you all right?
- I'm okay. I'm all right.

- Is this your idea of being a parent?
- Mom, no. Please listen to me.

- He didn't do anything wrong.
- It's okay, Sally. I deserve that.

And that's for leaving
us seven years ago.

- I deserve that too.
- No.

You don't.

Trust me, Mom.

I could have you arrested for
endangering the lives of these kids.

You could. I wouldn't
blame you one bit.

Mom.

Don't you think he spent
enough time in jail?

Maybe so.

- Dad.
- Yeah?

You remember the handshake?

Thank you, Sally.

- You nervous?
- Definitely.

My hands are shaking.

About the new job
or the first date?

Both.

It's been a long
time in either case.

Well, you're gonna
be awesome at both.

And just wait till you
actually have a car.

You know, dates and jobs
get easier with cars.

Well, job first. I'll
worry about the car later.

When I get ahead of myself,
that's how I get in trouble.

Good point.

Okay, you ready?

- Ready as I'm gonna be.
- Okay.

Okay. Come on.

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Hey.

Hey.

Okay. Next caller, please.

Ray-Ray- I mean, it's
just plain old Ray.

Larue?

- First-time caller. - You're
a sweet thing, all right.

I'm having a little trouble
- Excuse me. I'm having trouble adjusting...

...to my environment.

Well...

...you know, Larue,
at this point...

...I think the best thing for you
to remember is the three essentials:

Confront it...

...be truthful...

...and sleep with your
back against the wall.
