JACK: Bring him here!
[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SPEAKS GERMAN]
Anyone hiding a member of the resistance
will pay the price.
PAUL: That's enough.
Enough. Get the men to the truck.
What happened, General?
[BOMBS EXPLODING IN THE DISTANCE]
- Do you hear that, Colonel? - SOACH: Yes.
The fighting is getting closer. We need to regroup.
Unless you could expedite things.
I find that a good threat motivates people.
The family, monsieur.
Mother, father and the child.
[BOMB EXPLODING]
Take them. Bring them down.
Move! On your knees![FAMILY WHIMPERING]
Please, General!
I promise you that there are no resistance
among any of us here!
[WHIMPERS, SOBS]
They think you're a fool.
We grow tired of your obstinance!
Reveal the location of the resistance
or we will butcher this family in the street!
SHELLY: There is no one hiding in this town.
These are just simple, good people.
I know.
[BOMB EXPLODING][CITIZENS CLAMORING]
[PANTS]
Over there!
Quickly now, quickly![CITIZENS SCREAMING]
[SOLDIER GRUNTING]
[GUNSHOTS FIRING]

[TRAFFIC WHIZZING]
[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
Yeah?
Can I help you?
When did I check in?
I don't know. I just got on at 12:00.
What's your room number?
[MUMBLING INCOHERENTLY]
Yeah. I don't know, Mr. Ryder.
It doesn't say.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
SOACH: Goodbye, Ryder!
Ryder?
Are you okay?
Hmm.
[LIGHT BUZZING]
[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]
PAUL: You know, I look out over this city...
[BIRDS CHIRPING][MUSIC CONCLUDES]
...and I realize I still feel the same way I did
when I was a child.
How's that, boss?
I always wanted to tear things down.
But, of course,
there's no point tearing anything down
unless you can build something better in its place.
And so,
I worked hard...
made quite a nice living, doing just that, didn't I, Jack?
Yes, you made a shitload of money.
I have. But something's wrong, Jack.
[CUTLERY CLINKING]
I'm questioning myself. Do I really need to spend
the last years of my life turning this into this?
A lot of people are going to get hurt, Jack,
especially in the poor section.[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
How often do I have to do the same thing
over and over again?
It's like reincarnation.
- Huh? - You know, coming back
and doing the same thing over and over again.
SOACH: May I say,
you're doing them all a magnificent favor.
It's progress.
It can hurt.
Sometimes a few have to suffer to benefit the many.
When all is said and done...
your soul will be judged
by the things that you have accomplished.
My soul?
What are you talking about? There is no soul.
SOACH: Well, then, if there's no soul,
you're doing exactly
what you're supposed to be doing, Paul.
That's Mr. Sanborn to you.
Relax, Jack.
Mr. Soach is an artist.
We make exceptions for artists.
[CHUCKLES] PAUL: Nevertheless,
something is bothering me about this now.
I could've chosen a dozen other projects.
I chose yours
because it matters for the people.
You've been building towards this your whole life.
- Oh, well, I have. - SOACH: Yes.
You've done other things before, but this is...
Wow.
This is something else.
- Well, this was the big one. - SOACH: This is huge.
This is your Mount Everest.
It is, isn't it?
Yes!
You said you had a vision.
I came here to do one thing, make that vision a reality.
But let me ask you...
do you still have the energy to get this done?
I do.
Of course, I do.
There will always be doubt.
I know that.
Of course, and of course you're right.
This is my work.
Be assured that what we're doing is a great thing.
It is, isn't it?
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a few little things I need to accomplish.
That is one weird dude.
Well, he's a character. I'll grant you that.
But, Jack, that man is a genius.
Yeah, he's still weird.
Look, if you want to get this thing built,
you're still gonna have to get it approved
by city council.
Roger Hammond's the only one that matters.
The rest are in my pocket.
Maybe it's time I gave Mr. Hammond a visit,
showed him the error of his ways.
Jack, that's a little heavy-handed.
Just call his office.
Set a meeting.
I'm scared!
[TIRES SWERVING, SCREECHING]
[PANTS][MUSIC CONCLUDES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
[FOOD SIZZLING][INDISTINCT CHATTER]
What can I get you?
Coffee.
Kitchen open?
You can have whatever you want
as long as it's a well-done cheeseburger.
It's all we got right now, sorry.
Sounds good.
Leo, get me a cheeseburger.
LEO: Mm-hmm.
- RYDER: Thanks. - Cream and sugar?
Are you okay, hon?
[SIGHS]
You're the second person today who's asked me that.
Well, what's the answer?
I'm not sure.
Empty this time of day, huh?
MORGAN: Oh, it's just about happy hour.
It'll get busy pretty soon.
A little early.
Not in this town.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
MORGAN: You need to be more careful
with your receipts, Shelly.
I do my grandmother's books.
Morgan is afraid I'll screw up my taxes
and the IRS will take all this away.
[CHUCKLES]
JACK: Hello, Shelly.
Jack.
Whiskey.
It look good.
Bud...
don't be rude, pay the lady.
Get yourself something nice.
Who's this?
My name is Ryder.
[GASPS][ALL SCREAMING]
[SNEEZES]
Mother...
Ah!
TINK: Let's go, Boss.
Let's go.
I'll see you next time, Shelly.
JACK: Come on, Tink.
Who's your friends?
The big one is called Tink, short for Tinkerbell.
The skinny one's Bud, short for...
Nobody cares what his real name is.
They both work for the other guy, Jack.
You pay them protection?
Not exactly.
LEO: Ready.
Hope you're hungry.
Starving.
You better be if you're going to eat that.
- RYDER: Good burger. - No, it's not.
I must be hungry. It tastes okay to me.
When was the last time you ate?
I don't know.
Can I ask you a question?
Do you know anything about a little girl...
hurt or killed around here?
Well, that's a strange question.
What's the answer?
The answer would be no.
Why do you ask?
[CUSTOMERS LAUGHING, CHATTING]
Happy hour, huh?
Happy hour.
[GLASSES CLINKING]
[CITIZENS CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
PAUL: Citizens...
lend me your attention here.
Lend me your attention.
This woman and this child stand accused.
Senator, these are lies.
We're wrongfully accused.
We have evidence enough, Senator.
Is there anyone willing to fight for these two?
If not, they will be dealt with according to the law.
Don't be frightened.
It's gonna be all right.
Someone will fight for us.
SHELLY: Must you do this?
I thought better of you.
I will not watch.
We must maintain the law, Senator.
The people will love you.
Will anyone fight for this woman and this child?
Anyone?
RYDER: I will!
[CITIZENS GASPING]
PAUL: Well, well, step forward.
Show yourself to the people.
[CITIZENS WHISPERING]
Citizens, we have a game.
We have a game.
JACK: Hey. Hey!
How do I know you?
Now, that's funny.
What is?
I was going to ask you the same thing.
[POLICE SIREN WAILING]
Detective Timmons.
Good to see you.
What seems to be the problem?
Problem?
Oh, there's no problem.
There's no problem.
We were just leaving.
Let me see some I.D.
You didn't ask those guys for their I.D.
I know who they are.
And they know you too.
What are you?
On the take?
Ben Timmons is the one honest cop in this town, Ryder.
Ryder's okay, Ben.
Okay, then.
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
[CAR ENGINE STARTING]
You got a place to stay?
Seems as though last night I stayed at the Paradise Hotel.
We can do better than that.
Show him the room.
[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING]
Follow me.
[KEYS JINGLING][INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I was a bartender here till I finished law school,
so I used this room when I worked nights.
Sheets are clean.
RYDER: How much?
MORGAN: Fifty bucks a night.
And maybe if it gets busy at the bar,
you could help out a bit?
Okay.
So, those guys,
Jack, Bud, and Tink...
what's their deal? Was she paying them off?
Those clowns work for a guy named Paul Sanborn.
You know that name?
Should I?
[SCOFFS]
Citizens, we have a game.
"Paul Sanborn has a vision."
Does he really have a vision?
Yeah, making shit tons of money.
So, what were those guys doing collecting that envelope?
Every year, there's this charity thing
Sanborn runs, and his minions collect "donations."
Donations?
MORGAN: If you don't contribute,
the health inspector starts to show up on a daily basis,
and your garbage doesn't get picked up.
It's easier this way.
Plus, I write it off on Shelly's taxes.
[LAUGHS]
Okay, sounds kind of shady.
Truly, it's small potatoes to Sanborn.
But it's his charity,
and I think he likes to control people.
He asks and everyone gives.
I have to get back to work.
Who are you?
[GRUNTS]
You don't have to do this!
Who is this boy to question you?
Maintain the law. An example has to be made.
Do you hold with your decision, stranger?
I've made my choice!
Then may the gods be with you.
[CITIZENS APPLAUDING, CHEERING]
[PANTS]
Who the fuck are you?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SIGHS]
Paul.
Roger.
You're gonna make me start, aren't you?
You know why I'm here.
I do. I do.
And?
And you're not going to like what I have to say.
Oh.
Try me.
I can't let you do this to the people of this city.
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
"The people of this city." Can you believe it?
Cocksucker's born with a silver spoon up his ass
and he thinks he understands the people of this city!
This is from a man who won't eat in any restaurant
that doesn't have a Michelin star!
Roger Hammond wouldn't know the people of this city
if they kicked him in the balls.
[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE STALLING][TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
JACK: So, how do you want to play it?
PAUL: I don't know, Jack,
but we'll have to think of something
really good, won't we?
[SIGHS, SNIFFS]
You know, I took good time out of my day to see this SOB.
What a waste.
[BOTH SCREAM, GRUNT]
[GRUNTS][RYDER GRUNTING]
[SCREAMS]
[ALL GRUNTING, GROANING]
[CITIZENS CHEERING, APPLAUDING]
PAUL: Bring forth the accused.
CITIZENS: [CHANTING] Live! Live! Live! Live...
[CITIZENS APPLAUDING][GASPS]
[CHAINS RATTLING]
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
How do I know you?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Mr. Hammond wasn't very receptive,
- I take it. - No.
SOACH: There's always confusion around a good idea.
You surely won't let this deter you.
No, I will not.
Perhaps there's something that this Hammond man wants,
something that only you could give him.
That son a bitch can pretty much have anything he wants.
Jack, bring what we have on Hammond.
[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING]
Roger Hammond is rich. He's filthy rich.
Born into money.
He's faithful to his wife. He pays his taxes.
He volunteers at a soup kitchen.
Nobody is that clean.
There must be some dirt on him.
His daughter does ballet.
Last month, he took a 24hour flight from Seoul
and went directly from the airport to her recital.
He owns his own plane.
I'm sure he was quite comfortable.
But that leads us to the question, gentlemen.
With what do you bribe a man who already has everything?
If there's nothing you can give him,
how about something you can threaten to take away?
Every man needs to worry about the safety of his family.
[SCOFFS]
[CHORAL MUSIC PLAYING]
SOACH: The people want more.
Give them what they want!
JACK: I will fight him.
CITIZENS: [CHANTING] Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight...
[BOTH GRUNT]
[BIRDS CHIRPING][MUSIC CONCLUDES]
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[CAR ENGINE STARTING]
[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]
You certainly get around, Mr. Ryder.
[MUSIC CONCLUDES][INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey.
Hey, yourself.
You know, I was just wondering...
are you cool with me being here?
[CHUCKLES] Dude,
do you think my grandmother asks my permission for anything?
[CHUCKLES]
So, you said you're a lawyer?
I'm a legal aid attorney.
This place is sort of my unofficial office.
I kind of grew up here.
You guys are tight, aren't you?
My folks were killed by a drunk driver when I was 18.
Shelly made sure I got through college
on what they left me, then she paid for law school.
Kept me from losing my mind during all of it.
And she left me alone to make all my own decisions.
Never tried to tell me what to do.
RYDER: "Morgan V. Stram."
What's the V stand for?
Um, Virgil.
Virgil? [LAUGHS][LAUGHS]
It's Shelly's last name,
and it's like this family tradition or something.
Don't blame me! That was your mom's idea.
- Let me get that. - SHELLY: I got it. I got it.
RYDER: Hey, now that's cool.
Like Virgil the Roman poet.
The Roman poet? Never heard of him.
He, uh, he wrote The Aeneid.
And in Dante's Inferno,
he serves as the guide into hell.
I know who he is.
The guide into hell, though, that sounds cool.
[PHONE CHIMING]
Oh. That's Roger Hammond.
He needs to talk.
- See you later, sweetie. - MORGAN: See you.
See you around.
[DOOR OPENING]
[DOOR CLOSING]
- Who's Roger Hammond? - He's a councilman.
He's opposing Paul Sanborn's big development,
and Morgan is one of the attorneys
leading a coalition of townspeople.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- SHELLY: Here we go. - Lunchtime rush?
Leo's gonna be thrilled.
Hey!
How you doing today? What can I get you?
Yeah, all right. That everything?
Terrible story, huh?
What's up?
Nothing.
Didn't you ask me about a little girl?
Yeah. Yeah.
Terrible.
[BELL DINGING]
Hold your horses, Leo, I'm coming!
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[CHILDREN GIGGLING]
At the risk of repeating myself,
it's pointless to leave any of the old city intact.
If you're going to do something,
why aren't you going to do it properly?
Do you know how many people live in this part of the city?
Of course, you do. I used to...
I used to walk these streets to get to my school.
So, how can I kick these people out of their homes?
Maybe we can keep the housing,
and the culture, and the community,
and, uh, put some money into infrastructure.
They'll have all of that, and they'll have new housing.
It's simply a matter of efficiency, that's all.
They'll be outpriced, and you know it.
- This is their home. - Whatever it is you decide,
you'll still have your nasty little friend,
Councilman Hammond, standing in your way.
Sometimes you have to push a person
- to make the right decision. - SOACH: Yeah.
Your young associate has a plan that he wants to share with you.
- Oh. - Isn't that so, Jack?
If you don't mind.
Of course.
Of course, Jack. We'd love to hear it.
JACK: I've given it some thought.
What can we hold against Hammond that he really cares about?
His daughter.
I have a plan to retain her and hold her
until he signs what we need.
It's difficult but doable.
We're kidnapping a child?
But you'll see to it that no one gets hurt,
won't you, Jack? Especially the child.
You know what you're doing, Jack?
He's right. No one will get hurt.
And Hammond will do whatever we ask of him.
Sometimes you have to have the stomach to persuade people
not to make the wrong choice.
Of course.
Wonderful. That's wonderful, Paul.
[CAR DOOR OPENING, CLOSING]
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
We're closed!
Even for me?
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Never for you, Ben. What are you having?
BEN: Beer. Whatever you got that's cold, Shelly.
Evening, Mr. Ryder.
Evening, Detective.
I'm gonna go take the garbage out.
[GLASS CLATTERING]
SHELLY: Where are you going?
You didn't even touch your beer.
I guess I'm not so thirsty after all.
See you later, Shelly.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
SOACH: So...
tell me, Ryder...
Who is this?
SOACH: No, not yet. Soon, but not yet.
How did you get this number?
SOACH: You've been having bad dreams.
You could try pharmaceuticals, religion, therapy, but...
I can tell you now, they won't work.
Who are you?
[LAUGHS]
We have a game to play, Ryder.
What game?
SOACH: I'll be in touch.
[RECEIVER CLICKS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
They haven't paid the taxes on the property.
And you don't wish to sell?
My lord, the property has been
in my family for two generations.
Please give me the time to pay the taxes.
My offer was fair.
Please, my lord.
My lord, this is no place for a lady.
My dear, what are you doing here?
SHELLY: This is wrong, what you're doing.
Really?
With respect, my lord, a precedent must be set.
Otherwise, they'll all be trying to take advantage of you.
SHELLY: You mustn't do this! I fear for your soul.
It's never too late to do the right thing.
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
- RYDER: Good morning. - Hey.
Why don't you pour us both coffee?
You know, when I was a little girl,
I looked out our kitchen window
and I saw a man standing outside.
My mom was next to me, only she couldn't see him,
but I could.
He had a kind of outline, an aura.
And I just knew he was a ghost.
[SCOFFS]
[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING] All my life, I've seen things,
things that other people don't see.
So, I'm a ghost?
Not quite.
Your aura is different.
What am I?I have no idea.
But I can tell you one thing, you ain't from around here.
[SIREN WAILING]
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Yeah?
You run those fingerprints on the bottle for me?
That was quick.
Two sets?
Yeah, she's the bar owner. What about the other set?
And you ran them through all the databases,
state and federal?
Do me a favor.
Yeah. Get back to me once you do. Thanks.
[RECEIVER CLATTERING]
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
What?
Mr. Ryder.
What can I do for you?
What of it?
You've come to confess to kidnapping now?
Relax, Mr. Ryder. She was found.
Turns out she was sleeping over at a friend's house
and forgot to call her mom.
What's it to you?
RYDER: Tell me about Paul Sanborn.
A cop can get into a lot of trouble
talking about Paul Sanborn in this city.
Why you got his picture on your wall?
I've been a cop for almost 20 years.
Paul Sanborn has owned this city that entire time.
- And? - And...
And that's all.
[SCOFFS]
BEN: He's rich, and he's powerful,
and he doesn't always have the city's
best interests in mind.
But a cop can get in trouble for talking about him.
Exactly.
Have a nice day, Mr. Ryder.
It's just Ryder.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Here you go.
[BAR MUSIC PLAYING]
Allow me to introduce myself.
Mr. Soach.
Interesting name.
Once upon a time, I believe it was pronounced Soach.
Could you get me your oldest Scotch?
Or at least the most expensive.
I'm sure it will be dreadful.
I'll manage.
Keep the change.
I'm sure Shelly will appreciate it.
Delicious.
- I'm an architect. - I know.
You're designing Paul Sanborn's city of the future.
I read a great magazine piece, and you were mentioned,
in passing, but...
there weren't any pictures of you.
I like to think of myself as underground.
Underground famous.
People like Paul Sanborn have their picture
in the papers and magazines. They talk on TV.
I prefer to stay in the background.
You're the one who called me last night?
Yes, I did.
- RYDER: How'd you find me? - A little bird told me.
Paul Sanborn's name opens doors in this city.
Who are you?
Have you not been listening?
Aside from being an architect...
I suppose I'm a... I'm a sort of...
motivational speaker.
A precedent must be set.
Otherwise, they'll all try to take advantage of you.
I find that a good threat motivates people.
Maintain the law. An example has to be made.
It's not possible.
SOACH: I think there are infinite possibilities
beyond what we know.
If only you could see.
- Good evening. - Thanks.
Where's Shelly?
Storage room.
Who was that guy?
He's the architect working with Paul Sanborn
on his big development.
You don't like Sanborn, do you?
What's not to like?
He owns this city.
RYDER: I keep hearing that.
Tell me about Roger Hammond.
Roger Hammond?
He's opposing Sanborn's bid to make the city over,
and I'm helping out.
[GLASS SHATTERING] SHELLY: Son of a bitch!
I got it.
Wait a minute!
Since you won't have a home,
you're gonna need a place to stay, a warm bed.
Unhand the lady.
Do you take orders from him?
This is none of your concern.
[WHIMPERS, GROANS]
Just leave.
[GRUNTS]
[PANTS]
SHELLY: Hey!
Hey.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
SHELLY: Are you okay, hon?
It's closing time.
We're closed.
Where were you?
I'm not sure.
- Where are you going? - Come on.
Okay, where are we going?
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Here.
You want me to go to church?
There's someone inside you should talk to.
Mrs. Mokosh.
Go on.
Just you.
RYDER: Mrs. Mokosh?
I like to sit. My knees.
So, what are you looking for?
Oh, I think I'm looking for you.
[CHUCKLES] Nobody who comes here is looking for me.
Have you ever heard of Chernobog and Belobog?
You know these names?
Well, they seem...
familiar.
Chernobog and Belobog are Slavic deities.
The Black god and the White one.
The people who built this church wouldn't have admitted it,
but in private, they still say their prayers
to both of them.
Many cultures have these figures,
opposing forces doomed forever to confront one another.
Good and evil?
Some call it that.
Others see it as a dance between order and chaos.
Whatever it is, you are here for a reason.
And that is?
That's for you to figure out. [LAUGHS]
[SIGHS] Fine.
I'll tell you this much.[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING]
Sometimes, you can't fight the current.
Sometimes, you have to go with it.
[CHUCKLES]
So what you're saying is--
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
How do you know her?
Dude, I see dead people. And so do you, apparently.
[GUNSHOTS FIRE]
[FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS]
[BREATHES HEAVILY] What the hell was that?
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
Never mind. I don't wanna know.
- Come on. - Where are you going?
There's a diner around the corner.
I'm not hungry.
I am, and you're buying!
[SIGHS]
I think my granddaughter likes you.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
[DOOR CLOSING]
[TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING]
[SIGHS]
Yeah? [SIGHS]
It's Jack.
We met the other night at Shelly's.
Yeah, I know who you are.
I was wondering if you might be interested
in some work.
Why would you offer me work?
Well... [EXHALES] ...I have my reasons.
I'll make it worth your while.
I'll think about it.
[EXHALES]
[RECEIVER CLICKS]
- You sure about this? - I'm absolutely sure.
Sure about what?
Mr. Soach has recommended someone for the upcoming job.
Oh, really?
You know how it is, Paul. You meet people over the years.
Gentlemen, we should be very careful
about inviting new people in on this one.
I leave these decisions to you.
It's outside my field of expertise.
You met this guy?
I did.[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
I think you'll like him. There's something about him.
All right. You can hire him...
if we go forward on this thing.
What do you mean?
I mean, I'm having reservations, that's what I mean.
About what, exactly?
Everything.
[SIGHS]
We've been over it all before.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
You're doing this for the benefit of the people,
and you can't let one man stand in the way of that.
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
A certain action has to be taken to ensure the greater good.
Stop trying to manipulate me, Soach.
Stop it!
I make my own decisions. I make my own choices.
Anything I do, I do, because I see fit.
Yes. I'm not suggesting otherwise.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Here we are.
Roger Hammond talking to the press.
NEWS REPORTER: [OVER TV] What are you gonna do
about Paul Sanborn's development?
[SMACKS LIPS] Paul Sanborn
will be treated like any other resident in this city.
The days of ward politics and backroom deals are over.
Paul Sanborn owns a great deal of things...
but he does not own me, and he does not own this city.
We will not be intimidated by him,
or anyone else intending to bully us.
Thank you.
[SCREAMS]
[SCULPTURES CLATTERING][EXHALES]
[PANTS]
All right!
Do what has to be done!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING][BIKE APPROACHING]
[BIKE ENGINE STOPS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SLURPS]
I see that you're in.
Five K up front. The rest, when the job is over.
I've put a little extra for you, all right?
For what you did last time.
[SLURPS]
JACK: Industrial park. Used to be factories.
Now, it's a warehouse district.
Mr. Sanborn owns everything, five blocks in all directions,
so the streets will be empty.
This is the perfect place for the ambush we are setting.
We will block off one side of the street.
We'll then cut them off,
forcing them onto the side streets.
[TIRES SCREECH]
JACK: Once they are off the main road,
we will continue to cut off the access streets,
driving them...
here...
where we will be waiting.
The target's name is Annie Hammond.
Annie is ten.
Does anyone have a problem kidnapping a ten-year-old child?
Annie has a bodyguard and a driver.
They are professionals. They will be armed.
Hopefully, they'll see they're outgunned
and pinned down.
What if they don't see it?
Then we will neutralize them quickly and efficiently.
We will reconvene here tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.
Annie has ballet in the early evening.
We will pick her up on the way home.

Good afternoon, Ryder.
What's going on?
Do you sometimes feel that life is just...
inevitable?
No matter how many times you show up...
no matter how many times you try to do something,
it just turns out, well...
wrong.
[INHALES SHARPLY] Perhaps bad... needs to win...
so that good has a reason to continue.
I don't believe that.
No?
History proves you wrong.
Mankind manages to skew towards the bad,
and history repeats itself over and over again.
And still manage to get it wrong...
uh, time and time again... no matter what you do. [INHALES]
You feel helpless...
just swimming against the current...
under your nose.
Sometimes, you can't fight the current.
Sometimes, you have to go with it.
Sometimes, you have to go with the current.
SOACH: Yes.
You need to look... into the darkness of yourself,
into the person you don't want to be...
to know who you really are.
Things will change.[INHALES SHAKILY]
Will you join me?
You might even like what happens next.
What's that supposed to mean?
All this trying to save the world.
Come on, man. What about you?
You've never really known pleasure.
The joy of what it is to be alive.

'Cause I'm a legal aid attorney, and I can use the tips.
[COINS CLINK][JAR THUDDING]
Shelly plays poker?
Well, I bet she's good.
She is.
Says she can see the auras of the other players.
[GLASSES THUDDING] She knows when they're bluffing.
[BOTTLE OPENS] But you don't believe her.
She's a bartender who knows...[DRINK POURING]

Good night.

Shelly lets him slide when he can't.

What, you think I don't notice stuff?
Poker night last night, huh?
Yeah!
- Did you win? - I broke even.
I can't win all the time, they'd notice.
[LAUGHS]
Morgan doesn't believe
that you can see the auras of the other players.
SHELLY: She's too practical for all that.
I stopped telling her about it years ago.
She's more like her mom that way.
You're not practical?
It's different.
Morgan sees the world that is...
and she tries to save her little part of it.
I gave that up a long time ago.
Somehow, I get the feeling that's what you're up to.
Saving the world, one, little piece at a time.

Sanborn's attorneys submitted it yesterday
at the close of business.[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
Tried to sneak it past us.
Sanborn promised to leave the old city intact,
but now he intends to tear everything down.
Well, he can try, Morgan, but without my vote,
he can't get away with any of this.
[EXHALES] I hope so.
There is nothing he can do
that will make me change my mind.
