NARRATOR:
Previously on The Beast.

My brother's doing 12
for man two.

Yeah, that we both know.

But my guess
is this is
an actual invitation

to stand up for your brother
and speak on his behalf.

You're really
not interested?

It's complicated.

That's what we have on Barker.
It'll make you wonder.

RAY: Now, you have
two choices.

One of them
is to give that disc
to Barker.

ELLIS: There's a third choice.

You want to
investigate him,
go ahead,

but he's my partner,
and you'll do it without me.

(THUNDER CRASHES)

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)

Hello, little brother.

Will.

Come here.

(GROANS)
Ah, come here!

(CHUCKLES)

Geez, you look good.

How'd you find me?

Oh, I haven't seen you
in seven years.

That's your first question?

Why are you here? Hmm?

You want money?
I ain't got none.

I don't want
your money.

(CAR HORN HONKS)

(ELLIS SIGHS)

WILL: Uh-oh.

Shit.

I'm busy, Will.

We got things
we need to talk about.

Not me.

I got to go.

Wait.

I just spent seven years
in prison, Ellis.

Five minutes,
when you can.

You owe me that much.

Where you staying?

Oh, you know.
Yeah.

(KEYS JINGLE)

My place
is over on Wood.

I know.

(PATS BACK)

Beer in the fridge.
Don't drink it all.

Yes.

(SIGHS)

What?

Never turn off
your damn phone.

You said I had
the weekend off.

I said, "Take a few days."
We're never off.

So, this isn't even
a real case.

What did I just say?

ELLIS: You're
trashing my weekend

because some
30-and-out old-timer

with a big corporate gig
calls you in a panic.

Ed Marcus
does not panic.

He's the best damn
control agent I ever had.

There was a time
I was made by hijackers.

He shut down 60 miles
of interstate to find me

and dug me out
of a gravel truck
by hand.

That's why you owe him,
not me.

Spoken like a true
head-up-his-ass rookie.
Let's go.

When the silent alarm
goes off, the whole
office locks down.

I get here and find
one of our people
trying to leave with this.

Susan Redman.

Been vice president
about 10 years.

I know her pretty good.
Couldn't believe it.

Damn.

That's $8-10 million, easy.

Tiffany's got nothing on us.

So now you're gonna
tell me why you
didn't call 5-0, right?

She's got
a story, Barker.
Now, listen.

She says someone
infected her little boy.

(LAUGHS)
Marcus.

Listen, now. Infected him
with a deadly disease.

She says what?

Claims it's something rare
that will kill him.

She says they won't
tell her what it is

until she robs
the place.

Steal the jewels
or let the kid die.

I tried to reach my boss,
the chairman.

They're all away
on holiday.

You got to
talk to her, Barker.

She's in there
with her little boy.

She's in there?

They said
he's not contagious.

That's good to hear.

Yeah.

SUSAN: There's no time.

They're going to call
with instructions,

and if I don't
have the jewels...

Just slow down.

If they suspect
anything's wrong,

or that I talked
to anyone...

No one knows
we're here, ma'am.

You don't know that.
It's possible they're
watching everything.

It's possible
you're lying, too.

(SCOFFS) I don't know
how to convince you.

But if you send
for the police,

they won't tell me
what Matt has
or what to do.

He should be
in the hospital.

The doctors said
it's just a cold.

Exactly what the caller
said they'd say.

He said, "If you wait
for the doctors
to find it, he'll be dead."

(COUGHS)

(VOICE BREAKING)
We're wasting time.

It's kidnapping.

That's what I thought.
That's why I called.

It's what?

Your kid is right
in front of you,
but they've got him.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

And they're killing him
as you watch.

It's them.

I've got to do
what they say.

I'll leave Matt
here with you.

I'm trying to save him,
not run away.

Give her the jewels.

Just follow
my instructions.

Now answer it.

Look, I don't care
whether it's a holiday
or what.

Get somebody
over here now.

So, the CDC's gonna
send an investigator.

She's still
heading south
on LaSalle.

Okay.

MALE DISTORTED VOICE:
Turn left on Jackson.

Left on Jackson?

Left on Jackson.
Left, left, left, left.

I got it!
Take a chill pill, guy.

Oh, they are running
her in circles.

$10 million in jewels.

You're pretty loose
with other people's money.

Well, what can I say?
They can put it
on my tab.

MALE DISTORTED VOICE:
Head for the park.

Okay, pulling over
to the park.

Stop at
the Randolph entrance.

I'm at the park.
Now what?

All right,
go to the footbridge.

You've got
three minutes.

She's out of the car,
entering the park
off Randolph.

Let me out.
Let me out.

Go, go, go, go.
The footbridge.
Stay out of sight.

All right.

Thanks, honey.
What the...

Get back here!

Okay, I'm here.
Where am I going?

MALE DISTORTED VOICE:
Go to your right.

Go to the footbridge.
You've got one minute.

Come on. Hurry it up.

Hurry!

(PANTING) Yeah.
Okay. I'm here.

All right, walk over
to the left side.

Yeah.

Okay, when I say now,
you throw the jewels
over the railing.

Okay.

Now. Throw it now.

(MOTORBIKE ENGINE REVVING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Yeah.

You're gonna tell me
a guy on a rice burner
made the pickup, right?

Yeah. You on him?

He's out of here.

Mom,
look what I found.

BARKER: I'd like to
talk to Matt if I can.

Hey, chief.

Special Agent Redman.
What is your
stated purpose here?

Well, Special Agent,
I got a question.

Before you got sick,
did anything special happen?

You know,
did you do anything
you don't normally do?

No.

What about strangers?
Any strangers
hanging around?

Do you think I'm dumb?
I know about strangers.

I know you're not dumb,
Special Agent.

Is my mom in trouble?
Are you going to arrest her?

Now, why would I do that?

Mr. Marcus got mad at her.

(SCOFFS)

Let me tell you a secret.

Mr. Marcus
is always grumpy.

Did somebody
make me sick?

Well, the thing is,
you're gonna
get better, right?

You're gonna grow up,
play for the Eagles.

If you want to play with
a punk outfit like that.

MATT: Promise?

Yeah, I do.

Okay.

You hang on to that
for a bit.

See you,
Special Agent.

All right, the Center
for Disease Control
called back.

They are sending
an investigator.

We can't risk
involving more people.
They said no police.

The CDC are experts.

And they just might be able
to ID what Matt has.

Something we have
to ask, ma'am.

Where's Matt's father?

That's not
a concern.

I'm afraid it is.
He needs
to be notified.

Well, that
will be difficult.

I used a donor bank.

Oh, God.
Why don't they call?

Oh, they will call,
and they will be mad.

Why? I gave them
the jewels.

You gave them
half the jewels.

I kept the rest.

How could you do that?
How could you do that
to Matt?

Listen to me.
I said
listen to me.

You can't play poker
without cards.

This isn't a game!

You give them the jewels,
they are gone,
you have no leverage.

Now you do.

You're a businesswoman.
You know how to do this.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

It's the chairman
of the company.
He wants to see me.

Okay. Keep him cool
and buy us some time.

How's he
gonna do that?

Ed Marcus
has his ways.

We're set.
We're set?

What the hell am I gonna say
to them when they call?

Start writing.

I thought it was just a cold.
All kids get colds, right?

Didn't seem so bad,
so I made him
go to day camp.

And then later, I got
this weird text message,

like someone
was reading my mind.

Exact words?

"It's not a cold."

But Matt seemed fine
when I got home from work.

My housekeeper said
he had a good dinner.

And then later that night,
he started vomiting.

Fever, headache.

I call the doctor,
and he said, you know,
"Flu, it's going around."

So I did what he said,

and Matt felt better
the next morning,
and I went to work.

And that was yesterday.

Yes.

And then I got
this text message
while I was with clients.

Described exactly
what was gonna happen.

Matt would seem
to recover,

and then
he'd get really sick
around midnight.

Even predicted
his temperature.

And it all happened
just like they said.

We went to
the emergency room,

and the doctor
kept telling me
the same thing, flu.

When I argued with her,
she said I was hysterical.

Woman doctor,
you don't
expect that.

And then,
when we got home...

And that's when
they called about
stealing the jewels.

Yeah.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Hello. I'm
Dr. Lewellyn, CDC.

Thank you
for coming.

I'm gonna need
to draw a blood sample,
okay, honey?

Have you ever had
your blood
drawn before?

Yeah.

Okay, so you know
what to expect.

I'm gonna be
extremely gentle.
I promise.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)
ELLIS: Barker.

Okay, I need you to
put on your bravest face
for me, all right?

I'm always brave.
I'm a secret agent.

He's gonna be okay, mom.
Let's go.

That's good to know.
You keep that on, okay?

Is this gonna sting?

(RINGING CONTINUES)

Hello?

MALE DISTORTED VOICE:
Your son's going to die

because you didn't
follow instructions.

I have the rest
of the jewels you wanted.

You'll get all of it
when I know what Matt has.

You deliver them first.

I'm not gonna do that.

Don't argue with me.
It's bad
for your kid's health.

The czarina sunburst
is worth over
a million by itself.

They're yours
when you tell me
what Matt has.

You're dictating to me?
That's not
the way it works.

You have to
help Matt first.

It's not a trick.
You thought this up...

(BEEPS)

Oh, God.

You did fine.

How can you say that?
He doesn't care. He's gone.

I promise you
he will call back.

How can you know that?
What makes you think
you know that?

Because the arrogant bastard
thinks he's smarter than you.

Miss Redman,
would you mind

if I speak
with the gentlemen
alone, please?

I'm reasonably confident
that the boy...

Matt.
His name is Matt.

Whoever infected Matt
was telling the truth

about it
not being contagious.

If it were, his mother
would show signs by now.

So what is it?

The nosebleed,
the remissions,

it suggests
some form of Flavivirus.

There are a dozen cases
that I've dealt with,
and this is...

So do a blood test,
a culture or something.

Blood cultures take weeks.

Matt's disease could
enter the terminal phase
in a matter of days.

How did he get it?

This sort of thing
is usually spread
by mosquitoes,

so it could be a prick
or a scratch, maybe.

How long ago?

Seven, eight days,
probably.

Have there been
any other cases
around here?

Well, there was an incident
of Gamboa fever
about a month ago.

A man died,
and we never figured out
how he contracted it.

Well, the police suspect
it was his wife.

She tried to kill herself.

Can you get me everything
you've got on that now?

Got it.
Thank you.

Mrs. Redman,
what was Matt doing
a week ago?

That's where
he caught him.

Someone injected it
into his system.

(STUTTERS)
I'm not sure.

You can't remember
last week?

He has a lot of activities.
It's hard to...

(SUSAN SNIFFLING)

Saturday.

Well, there was
the baseball tournament.

He was there all day.

So, were there any strangers
hanging around,
anyone not with the team?

Well, I was only there
for part of it.

There were problems
at the office.

Work comes first.

That was
a little harsh, no?

Get what you can from her.

Something
about this case?

I thought you said
it wasn't a case.

Yeah. So you must have
cameras covering every
inch of that place, Marcus.

MARCUS: We have footage.
What do you need?

Well, Susan said
that the perps
targeted something,

like a necklace.

Yeah. Czarina sunburst.

So run the videos
for the past month

and see who took
an interest in it.

And, Marcus,
you can eliminate
the old ladies.

I know what to look for.

(CHUCKLES)

Okay, bye.

Abby Telford.

Abby?

I'm Charles Barker, FBI.

Mrs. Telford.

I have no time,
so I'm gonna
cut to the chase.

I'm here because
I don't think
you killed your husband.

Now, maybe I'm the only
person in law enforcement
who believes that,

but I've reviewed your case,
and I think I can help.

You need
to listen to me.

You didn't
kill your husband.

All right.

Last month, your husband
got a little sick,
didn't he?

But it didn't seem serious,
just like a little cold.

He'd get better for a while,
then he'd get worse.

Nothing the doctors did
helped.

Then somebody contacted you,
didn't they?

Well, they're doing it again.

And this time,
they've infected a little boy,
and he's dying.

You got to help me, Abby.
Talk to me.

Okay, I need you
to answer one question.

What was the first thing
they said?

"It's not a cold."

(SIGHS)

Thank you.

So, I guarantee you,
it's the same guy,
same routine.

So, what do you got?

Check this.

Susan and the Telford woman
were both mentioned
in this article

about rising stars
in Chicago business.

They are slick bastards.

So they target
highly placed
professional women,

all with something
of big value.

With the Telford woman,
it was stock manipulation.

And now it's jewels.

So, I'm thinking
we follow the jewels.

I mean, can't be
many fences that
can move $8 million worth.

Yeah, that's what
I'm counting on.

Sorry. I'm late.

What's up, Doc?

I was running a test,
and Matt definitely
does not have Gamboa fever.

They'd be stupid to use
the same disease again.

So how's he doing?

He's better, but that's
the pattern, you know?

You start to feel better
for a while, and then...

What do you need
to help him?

I need to get into
Prentice Enright Research Lab.

It's the only lab
in the area working
with the Gamboa strain.

BARKER:
We can handle that.

Whoa. Back,
back it up for me.

You just said
that's not what he's got.

DR. LEWELLYN: I know.
This is how it works.

I have the strain
of Gamboa fever
that killed Telford, okay?

I need to do a DNA analysis
of the strain the lab has
to see if it matches.

Now, if it matches...

Then the scumbag
doing this is probably
connected to the lab.

Exactly.

So you're gonna need
a cover story.

Something that
won't spook them.

DR. LEWELLYN:
Even my level
of CDC clearance

isn't enough
to get us in that lab.

Relax. Getting into places
is what we do.

But you're gonna
have to do it quick.

I'm gonna
have to leave quick.

Oh, before I forget,
I spoke to
Matt's baseball coach.

Now, he noticed
nothing weird,

but his wife
shot this video
of the tournament.

Okay, thanks.
Good job.

Doc, this Telford guy,
you got a blood sample?

Oh. Yes.

Here we go.
Jesus, Doc! Come on.

Be careful with that.
Put it away.

Let's go.
Okay.

Just remember
all the basic equipment
that I showed you, all right?

And follow my lead.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

(CHUCKLES)

Wow. It's perfect.

Almost.
Let me see.

Okay.
How long will this take?

Well, it depends.

All the labs are sealed,
self-contained.

They require
special protective clothing,
decontamination.

(LAUGHS)

Is this a bad time?

Will, this is Doctor...

Lewellyn.

Doctor Lewellyn?
I'm Will.

Yeah. We're just
stepping out.

Yeah.

It was nice
meeting you.

Nice meeting you.

MATT: H-7.

If you're not rolling dice
and you don't spin
a little dial or something,

how do you have a plan?

Just any number
you'd like
that's on the board.

Okay, 12.
Oh, that's on the board?

Yeah. It only goes
up to 10.

"C." Hey!

Hey, hey!

(LAUGHS)
Sorry, little brother.

(SIGHS)

Well, apparently,
I suck at Battleship.

I'm looking
at the video again,
like you told me.

So, what about
that guy?

I think he's
one of the dads.

Her?

I don't know.

What about them?

This is pointless.
I can't tell
who's a stranger.

I mean, people come.
Relatives, friends...

I didn't go to enough
of his games, all right?

You're asking me
if it's all right?

I'm a lousy mother.
That's what
you want me to say.

All I want from you
is information.

No, you think
I'm an ambitious career woman

who cares
only about herself.

I do not remember
saying that.

Be honest!

How can I trust you
if you're not honest?

Okay, fine.

You got a right
to have a career.

You got a right
to have a kid.

You can make
whatever choices you want.

But you don't have a right
to expect it to be easy.

No one does.

(CHILDREN SHOUTING PLAYFULLY)

Keep going.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

That's Matt's best friend,
Brandon Cook.

Just in case you think
I don't even know
who my son's friends are.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Okay.

You know what to do.

And... Go.

Hello?

MALE DISTORTED VOICE:
Who's your friend?

You don't think
I'm watching you?

I said no police.

Hello?

This is Matt's father.

Where'd you come from?

We did our homework.
She's a single mother.

(STUTTERING) I know.

I've been out of the picture
since he was born.

But Susan was scared,
and she called me, and...

Look, this is my son.
I am ready to play ball.
Whatever you want.

Well, you can start
by slapping some sense
into that bitch.

(STUTTERING) Yes, but...
But please listen to me.

I got the jewels now.
They are yours.

Just please
help my son.

(HANGS UP)

Things are spinning
out of control, aren't they?

For them, not us.

I don't think
you understand.

This is
a CDC investigation.

I can't reach
the director right now.

Look, I have an outbreak
of a herpetic virus.

It's a Ukrainian strain,

and this is the only lab
in the area
that has a sample.

Now, by delaying me,

you're increasing
the chances
of an epidemic.

Do you want that
on your hands?

I'm sorry.
Those are my orders.

(IN MIDWESTERN ACCENT)
Oh, no.

This means that
we'll have to quarantine
the Senator and his guests.

Senator?

ELLIS: You don't know?

He's entertaining
the Ukrainian ambassador
at his lake house.

I don't know,
he's gonna be mad as heck

when he finds out
we have to lock him up
for a couple of days.

Look, I don't have
the authority
to let you come in here

unless you're
on that list.

If this turns out to be
a false alarm...

I would not want to be
in the director's shoes
right now.

Or your shoes,
for that matter.

This place could kiss
its federal contracts goodbye.

What do you need exactly?

Look busy
for the camera.

Just get them ready.

(BEEPS)

How does this work?

The system
creates a record

of which virus
has been logged out
and when.

And that's how
we find him?

Oh, no!
What?

There's no samples
of Gamboa fever in here.

Ellis, you have got to
get me into another lab
without being seen.

I'll need 10 minutes.

Like I said,
that's what we do.

Well, you've got
good taste.

You've picked
the best pieces.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Yo.

So, what?
Did you find something
on the security tapes?

I'm working on it.
We got other problems.

The chairman fired my ass
for giving up the jewels.

He's gonna
have Susan arrested.

Don't strain yourself.

Who the hell are you?

I'm the man
with your jewels.

Yo, go ahead
and take that walk now.

I trust
you brought them back.

I will when I'm done, sir.

Those are
stolen property.

Ed Marcus didn't
have authority
to release them.

I ordered him to.

Don't provoke me.

If they're not back
in an hour,

I will have
Susan Redman in jail

and you fired
from the Bureau.

Sir, Susan Redman
is not a criminal,
and you know it.

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I am?

You think you do,
but do you know really?

I am the guy
you want on your side.

I am the guy
you want in the tent.

You are insane.

I get that way.

Because there are
forces out there
that hold life cheap,

and the worst of them
prey on children.

When it comes to protecting
my shareholders,

I can't afford
to be sentimental.

Doesn't matter who.

Does it matter
when they're named
Alice, Liz, or Trent?

Those are
my grandchildren.

They are all
somebody's grandchildren, sir.

Have a good day.

(SCREAMS)

Give me my jewels!

(GASPING)

Do you hear me?
Give me my jewels!

Okay.

Okay.

(SIGHS)

(BUTTON CLICKS)

(IN MIDWESTERN ACCENT)
We have a problem.
The lights just went out.

(GROANS)

Come on.
The breakers
are down here.

Everything just
went dark, you know?

Like someone
flipped a switch.

Sure you guys
paid your light bill?

(SIGHS)

I don't know
about this stuff.

We ought to call
Maintenance.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

On a holiday weekend?
Man, that'll take forever.

We can work it out, eh?

(SIGHS)

(BEEPS)

Here's the box
for Lab 1.

It looks okay to me.

Oh, you see,
sometimes they trip,
and you can't tell.

Better try them all.

(FLICKING SWITCHES)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Yeah.
SUSAN: They broke in!

Susan?

They took the jewels.

Be right there.

(DOOR BEEPS)

(FLICKING SWITCHES)

Now, that should do it.

What do you mean?
We haven't fixed it.

All the breakers
are working.

Well, it's got to be
something else, then.

(SIGHS)

Hey, man,
watch what
you're doing.

Don't be
messing around.

I think I found the problem.
This doesn't look right.

Leave that alone.

It's like the main breaker
or something, yeah?

Damn it!

Relax.

Uh...

Lights are on
in the ladies' room, too.

Nice work, buddy.

Thank you.

How did it go?

(LAUGHS)
I got it. I got it.

Susan?

Barker.

You okay?
Yeah.

Did they hurt you?

No, just scared.

What about Matt?

He slept
right through it.

Listen, I had to give
them the jewels.
What are we gonna do now?

MATT: Mommy!

Oh, my God!

I got him.
I got him.
It's good.

Come on, son. Okay.
I'll get some towels.

Let's go.

(WHIMPERING)

(MONITOR BEEPING)

SUSAN: They're not
gonna call, are they?

They're gonna
let Matt die.

No. They'll avoid risking
another murder charge
if they can.

I made a promise
to this kid.

I will find the fence
who's moving the jewels,

and they will lead me
right to them.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Yep.

ELLIS: How's Matty?

At the hospital.
They're working on him.

We've got a lead.
We're on our way.

Okay.

DR. LEWELLYN: Okay,
we're onto something.

The strain of Gamboa fever
stored at the lab

is identical
to what killed
Telford's husband.

A technician
named Jason Fiedler

worked with the sample
around the same time.

Was Fiedler the only one?
No.

Then why do we
like him for this?

Well, Fiedler
has no connection
to the research study

being done
on Gamboa fever.

It'd be odd
that he'd log out
those samples.

So, was he playing
with any other strains?

Lab closed
before we could
check the records.

Shit.

Want to go back
with a warrant?

No, there's no time.
They're worried
Matt's liver's gonna fail.

Okay, don't worry.
I'll talk to the doctors.

Okay, good.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(STUTTERS) Hang on.

What?
You okay?

Uh, yeah.
Just get me everything
you can on this Fiedler.

I want to know
if he dresses
left or right. Go.

I'll get an address for him.
Okay.

Yeah?

It's Marcus.
I pulled something good
off the security tapes.

I thought
your ass was fired.

Guess I forgot
to return the tapes.

You're gonna want
to see this.

Okay. Meet me
at Dublin Oaks in 10.

Later.

Take a look.
This guy came in twice.

Last time was
about 10 days ago.

Says his name
is Joseph Plumber.

See, that's the advantage
of running
an exclusive business.

We run a check
on everyone.

So, does this Plumber
have an address?

Well, the real
Mr. Plumber does,

but that's not our man
in the photo.

Gave us a phony ID.

I know
I've seen this guy.

(PLAYFUL SHOUTING)

BARKER: Freeze.

Run it back.

Wait. What? Where?

And... Stop.

You see it?

Forward.

Shoot.

Freeze.

That's him.
That is him.

That is where
the son of a bitch
infected Matt.

I got you, asshole.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

Hey.

So, I ran a background
on Fiedler.

Yeah.

Guy's got
a checkered career.

Fired once,
filed for bankruptcy.

And it was him
who stole the virus
from the lab,

and it was his partner
who infected Matt.

His partner?

I'll tell you
in the car. It's time
to talk to Mr. Fiedler.

I know this is
a stupid question,

but shouldn't
we get a warrant?

Why? It's only
a social call. Let's go.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

BARKER:
Mr. Fiedler, you home?

Who is it?

Yeah, I'm a friend
of your neighbor.
I dinged your car.

What's he got?

Come here, jerkwad.

Get him! Now.

(GRUNTING)

What's he got?
Who?

I asked you a question.

What's he got?

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

Wrong answer.

(GROANING)

(ELLIS EXCLAIMS)

Looky, looky, looky, huh?

FIEDLER: Look, please.

(GROANING)

Which one of these
you give Matt?

Matt? Matt who?
Better answer me now.

I don't know.

Grab him.

What the hell
are you doing?

Hold his ass.

That stuff's
lethal, man.

Yeah, it is, baby.

Last chance to tell me
what Matt's got.

(GRUNTS)

Okay, okay!

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

So, it's Pao Valley fever.
Got it?

Pao Valley fever.

There's an expert at Yale.

Expert at Yale.

Yes. Dr. Louis Scopes.

He's developed
a vaccine that can
mitigate the symptoms.

Tell him
that I'm on it.

She said she's on it.

Matt's gonna be okay.

He's gonna be okay.

And I'll be there,
but I got something
to do first.

I trust everything
you took is there.

A smart man would
keep Ed Marcus around.

And the kid's
gonna make it.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

The vaccine's working,
thank God.

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHING)

So...

I told myself
that the first thing
I was gonna do

when we got through this
was to apologize to you...

Oh, I was gonna
thank you.

...for the way I sounded
at the house,

the way I made you feel.

It's nothing.

Matt is lucky.

He's lucky to have you
for a mom.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

What up?

BARKER: We lost a kid.

Matty?

No. Matt's recovering.

Then who?

Matt's best friend,
Brandon Cook.

He died
of Pao Valley fever.

(SIGHS)

How?

Oh, Fiedler's partner
must have stuck him
the same time he got Matt.

Must have been
a mistake or...
I don't know.

Barker.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

Barker?

Barker?
You still there?

Yeah, I'm here.

You know, the boys
were just tumbling around
together after the game.

It was on the tape.
I should have seen it.

I saw the tape, too.

There's always
a "should have," man.

Yeah.

(ELLIS SIGHS)

Man.

Yeah.

(COUGHS)

"Figured I would only
take the things
you could live without."

(CHUCKLES)

(GIRL GIGGLING)

Give us a minute.

You're as pigheaded
as your brother.
Must be genetic.

(GRUNTS)

I told you
it wasn't gonna work.

Not when you rip off
his apartment

the second
you're in the door.

I got you out
to help me with Ellis,
not to rob him.

Well, you don't
understand how it is.

He owes me,
and I'm just
getting what's mine.

Maybe I didn't
make myself clear.

I'm on Ellis' side.

Now, he's in
a very dangerous situation.

I thought he could use
your help to guide him
down the right path.

He doesn't listen to me.
He never has.

Well, you'd better
find a way
to get his ear,

because if you don't,

he's gonna end up
in the same 4x8 box
I just fished you out of.

That or with a bullet
in his back.

You're asking
the wrong guy for help.

Really?

You better face it,
I played you.

I saw a chance
to get out,
I took it.

I don't give a crap
about Ellis, okay?

Then why'd you take
the fall for him?

What are you
talking about?

I reviewed
your manslaughter
conviction,

checked the medical records.

Ellis stepped in
on that crazy drunk.

He killed that guy,
not you.

You got it wrong.

With that concussion,
you were out cold.

Ellis finished him off.

You got it way wrong.

I don't think so.

Ellis had no record.
He probably
would have walked.

But you protected him anyway,

even knowing that,
with your priors,

they'd hit you
like a ton of bricks.

You took the rap.

So don't feed me
that "you don't
care about him" crap.

When the time comes,
when I call you,

you're giving it
a second shot, big bro.

Unless you want
to end up
back in that 4x8 box.

How'd you know?

I didn't.

But now I do.
