RICHARDS:

Laughlin, save it for the written test. Good luck.

LAUGHLIN:

Yeah, for all of us.

Look, look, there he is!

Mister D! Mister D!

Yes!

You're beautiful! Yeah!

We need you, Damon!

Brenda, do you have this week's ratings, or do I have to guess?

They're the same as last week, and those were the

same all last month.

I guess we've just peaked. But it's not like we've dropped.

Hah ! "Not like we..." You're beautiful, sweetheart.

- Whoa!

- Oh! Sorry, Mr. Killian!

That's all right. What's your name?

Dan.

Dan, you're doing good work. Looks beautiful.

Don't worry. Okay?

Thank you. Thank you.

Brenda, if that a**hole is mopping the floor

tomorrow, you'll be mopping it for the rest of

the week. Let's go!

Security code accepted.

Edward?

Damon, were you down in wardrobe yet? They've

got your new jackets, they're fantastic!

Who chose the colors? Hey, how are my people today?

- Fine, sir. Thank you.

Hey, you're looking good. Love that –

Tony, Tony! What do you got for me?

Damon, thank God! The Justice Department's

calling every 10 minutes.

Just give them an evasive answer. Tell 'em go

f*** themselves.

Got my coffee?

I want to know what we got, all right?

All right. Let's see.

Lights.

Oh, God. Kitchen, toast and coffee.

ICS Channel One.

Are you ready for pain? Are you ready for suffering?

If the answer is yes...

then you're ready for Captain Freedom's workout.

Yes, it's America's own Captain Freedom.

Ten-time national champion. The greatest stalker

to ever play the game.

All right now, all you runners. Ready, get set, go!

We interrupt Captain Freedom's workout to

bring you this urgent news bulletin.

The city police are engaged in a door-to-door

search for Benjamin A. Richards, known as the

Butcher of Bakersfield. Richards, a former police

officer, was the helicopter pilot who went berserk

18 months ago, firing without warning on a

crowd of innocent civilians. If you see this

man, do not approach him. Contact your local

block warden. He is considered armed and

dangerous.

Don't make a sound, do you understand? Who

are you? A friend of my brother's?

What are you talking about?

This is his apartment.

I moved in last month. They told me the last tenant

was taken away for...

Yes?

For reeducation.

Help! Are you the man?

Asesino in my house! El Butcher of Bakersfield's

in my bathroom!

That's the ticket. No pain, no gain.

Let go of me! Let me go! Let go!

Now, listen to me, because I'm only gonna say this once.

This is all a lie. I was framed. I'm completely innocent.

Yeah, sure.

Now be quiet and stay still, and I'm out of here

in five minutes.

Hi, this is Amber. I'm not home right now.
