After the daughter of the director Rollie and Angie are working for is kidnapped and held for ransom, the two must try and work on the fears of the only man who can lead them to her before she's dead.
Join me...
Or die!
How about "None of the above"!
Cut! Very! Great!
Six A.M., right on the schedule.
I wanna thank you once again
for a magnificent all-nighter.
Oh, I love you.
That was fu-u-un, wasn't it?
- Yeah, you were really terrific.
- A-ha, thanks a lot.
Come on guys, come on.
Ah, Rollie, you are one sick dude, man.
- One sick dude.
- Hey, Eldon,
this is art, you know!
- Rollie.
- Hey!
Everything is looking very nice, huh?
Ah yes, very nicely, indeed on budget.
Ah, now, don't typecast me. That
is not all that producers think about.
Although it looms large, huh?
- Papa.
- Ah, look the rat wrangler.
- The best of the rat wranglers.
- Tanya, huh.
You have to come by
the set tonight, papa.
Rollie's having vampire bitten to death
by hundreds of my rats.
Then he's gonna burst into flames
as sphere of fire sent from the heavens.
- Not before the ceiling caves in.
- Ahh.
- Rollie can do anything.
- Oh, I concur.
Rollie, I wanna thank you for
taking Tanya under you wings.
- She learned much from you.
- The feeling's mutual.
Ah, good, good. I'm glad you feel that.
Pavel, come in, come in.
Rollie Tyler, my brother Pavel.
He was a very important
man in our country.
But I think maybe he stayed too long.
But now he starts over
here in America.
Like me, like all of us, huh?
- A lot of opportunities, huh Pavel?
- Cheques arrived.
Ah, good, good.
Is a good day for everybody.
You get paid,
the picture gets release.
I wanna thank you, I thank you all
for a consummate effort!
Ah-ha, come on Pavel.
- Pleased to meet.
- It's nice to meet you.
And Tanya, get rid of the rats.
They're bad luck.
What's his story?
He's full of superstition.
Know, like shaking hands
across a threshold.
It means you'll never meet again - death!
Death, huh?
There's a three-hour wrap adead.
Yeah, my fault is gonna fixed just
pick up from the lab, I just called.
Let me go.
- Cute boy in optics lab.
- Really?
Alright, be right back.
- I will, don't worry, half hour, bye.
- See you.
Hi.
Come on.
There you go, my little friends.
Chow down.
So the flares and wish weapon
are set for tonight's church gag.
What about ambler control on
the Mortar's azimuth system?
- Should synch perfectly with the camera.
- Good.
- Heard from Tanya?
- I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Yeah the lab just called.
And she hasn't showed up.
What?
- It's been hours!
- I know.
Ilya,
you may be the executive producer,
but your daughter's on my payroll.
When I got to my office
this was put through
the mail slot. Tanya.
This chamber's RTIG
and impossible to find.
The volume of oxygen being provided
is calculated precisely.
Unless you pay $ 1.5 million...
I'll suffocate in exactly 18 hours.
Instructions will be
posted on a web site
N-A-U-M-O-V
IN RUSSIAN: Please dad, don't be deaf.
Do as they say.
Tanya always said that...
there was nothing you can't do, Rollie.
You must help me.
Okay, I got the web site.
Looks like a live feed
from a real-time video cam.
Traceable?
No, it's a bogus host.
They're pinballing the signal out of
servers in Asia and Eastern Europe.
Not a chance.
Eastern Europe, Naumov.
Ilya, I've got a good
friend with the NYPD.
American police and...
and Russian mafia...
it's toxic tea!
You don't know my police friends.
Rollie,
in my lifetime
I've already lost my language
and my country
and my wife.
I only have one thing left...
one thing to live for.
Ilya, the best I can offer
you is a package deal.
Let me call my friends.
I'll help them help you.
We will get her back.
Papa!
Papa!
No we're in that database.
But find out who Knox sold
units to and get me the list of
oxygen tank suppliers.
Look at this.
Is that sunlight falling
across the meter?
Could be a skylight?
Bring it up. Use that D.P. software.
Yeah, "Crescit Sunwhere",
right. Good idea.
Okay...
Let's compare the shadows
at Tanya's location with
the ones outside the loft.
Okay, that's us now.
And
let's calculate the same angle
to this location...
If the tape had been made here,
it would have been around
at 7 this morning.
- She left the studio at 6:30.
- Half an hour drive time...
Run the latitude on the
web site shadow at 7.
Right through Manhattan.
- Can you get the longitude?
- Not enough information.
So many buildings.
We'll start by searching
the empty ones first, Ilya.
It gives us a place to start.
We have contact!
Ilya, you're on!
Bring 15,000 $100 bills
to a phone booth
at the Southwest corner
of 14th and Madison.
Exactly 2:00 this afternoon.
Wait for contact. No police, no tricks.
Synthesized voice from text,
transmitted via satellite phone,
with caller I.D. interrupt.
Even my N.S.A. friend
couldn't trace this.
And that's giving her the key words.
No one could trace.
This is KGB we are dealing with.
Is there anyone out there?
Can you hear me?
And that is how easy it is
to find a police-issue tracker.
And this will help us?
We want them to find
the police tracker -
so they won't scan for ours.
- A rubber band?
- Yes,
each one is embedded with
a special transmit chip.
After the kidnappers ditch the bag,
we activate the signal
and we're on them.
Ilya, if any of them discover this...
We're arranging for a backup.
And we have one hour
to deliver the money, Ilya.
Yes.
All units stand by.
The drop is in progress.
There's no phone!
Ilya, look around. Is there a note?
Is there anything?
There is a tape recorder.
Do what I tell you
or your daughter is dead.
We are going for a walk.
Don't forget the bag.
To your left, around the corner.
They're telling you where to go.
So much for the N.S.A. tracing the call.
Get on the next uptown bus.
Turn the tape off. Turn it back on
the moment you are inside the bus.
Getting on the uptown bus.
Gatti, he's getting on the uptown.
Move up the cover.
Bus is northbound on 6th.
Box it on a five-block parallel.
Go to the back.
We saved you a seat.
Place the bag on the floor
under the messy seat.
Go to the back of the bus.
No one has moved.
Sit tight, they will.
Go, go!
The tracker's moving.
But the bus hasn't.
Ilya, check the bag now!
It is gone.
It's gone!
Oh, my god, it's gone!
Seal off the block, now!
It's empty. The money's
gone, it's empty.
- Plan B, Ang.
- Yeah.
Okay, four blocks further East,
- and they're stopped.
- West side of the street.
Gatti, 28th and Lex, we've got them.
Rollie...
Rollie says there's always a way.
IN RUSSIAN:
Well.
IN RUSSIAN:
Look.
IN RUSSIAN:
Very good.
Well done.
IN RUSSIAN:
Listen.
- Why don't we divide the money now?
- No.
No, as we planned originally: Monday.
Monday is more auspicious.
Now notify Ilya,
the location of Tanya.
It's a wet job now, Pavel.
- What?
- She can identify us...
And you!
How does she know my part in this?
She knows...
because we told her.
If she is dead,
we will never be caught.
None of us.
No one to blame but myself.
I should've never allowed the police.
Pavel was right.
Roll the tape again, Ang.
There, look at her right hand.
Why is she twisting it like that?
- Just roll the audio.
- M-O-V
IN RUSSIAN: Please dad, don't be deaf.
Do as they say.
Ilya, what's she saying?
Very precisely.
She's saying,
"Please, papa, do not be deaf."
"Do as they say."
Tell me, she's worked with deaf people?
Summer camp.
Ang, check her right hand against
the finger spelling database.
I don't have to. It's a "K" and a "P".
K.P. or P.K.
Kozlov.
Pavel?
No!
Ilya, he knew about the sat phone trace
we set up with the N.S.A.
Did he know about the
secondary backups?
Yeah, that too.
And he also had time to make a call.
Pavel, Pavel, Pavel.
You know I cast only good spells.
I cure people. I help them
with their troubles.
And I never use the evil eye, no.
Now tell your bubka,
why are you so frightened?
I have done a terrible thing.
But it was because
I had no prospects, no hope.
Alone, in a strange country,
with no friends.
Except for your bubka.
Talk to me. What have you done?
Your nose, your mouth,
they're no longer
in their right places.
But I have a cure.
Special waters.
They are costly,
but for you...
Mr. Kozlov,
your landlord told us
we might find you here.
What do you want?
A straight answer.
I have told you,
I know nothing.
Look, your brother has
exactly 1.5 million.
You're broke: motive.
Mr. Kozlov, there's other
people involved here.
Professionals. Dangerous professionals.
If you just give us their names -
I... if I give their names I'm lying.
Because there's no one else.
Now, I want to see my lawyer.
You cannot keep me from my lawyer!
You obviously need
a little more time here.
I'll be back.
My own brother...
Tanya's dying,
and he's asking for lawyers.
You're getting nowhere with him.
My Tanya
is running out of time!
Stop it! Stop that whistling!
Don't you know what's good for you?
He worries about his childish fears.
How could he do such a thing!
The writ of release
just came through, Frank.
- He's done here.
- Are you kidding me?
It's for real.
What will we do now, hmm?
Okay, let's go.
- What's going on?
- His lawyer got this writ.
Pavel,
you're the only one who
could lead us to Tanya.
Ilya, I would never hurt Tanya!
- Liar!
- Ilya!
Allen, your weapon.
Where is Tanya? Talk!
I know nothing!
IN RUSSIAN:
Die, basterd!
Ilya... put the gun down.
Not until he talks.
Ilya...
Don't, Rollie, no...
...I will shoot you.
Ilya, that's not gonna
help Tanya, is it?
And that's what we're
here for, remember?
Rollie, she only has a few hours.
So let's not waste them.
There's always a way.
Uhh!
Lock him up.
I must thank you.
Huh, you can go to hell.
Move it, come on.
This is bloody priceless, captain.
Pavel's about to walk the streets.
His victim is suffocating,
and her father...
Her father is locked in jail.
We have no choice.
It's the law.
I'm tired told you stop whistling!
I'm tired told you sit down.
What is going on out here?
One of his many superstitions.
No whistling, no...
What?
Where'd you pick him up this morning?
Brighton beach. Landlord
said where he'd be.
He said he was visiting his
"bupkiss" or something.
- His bubka?
- His bubka, whatever.
Can you hold him for an hour or so?
Yeah, we can take our time
with his report, why?
What would happen if made
his worst nightmare
come true in broad daylight?
We just entered Brighton beach.
Any particular address?
My apartment, 14 Gorky.
Alright.
N... no, no!
No, no, no!
- Hey, sit down.
- Stop the car. Stop the car.
Stop the car. Stop the car.
What's the matter?
Hey, hey!
Hey man, I got $10 on the meter.
- Y-your cab's full of rats.
- Hey, your brain's... full of bats!
No, they were there. They were there.
Yeah, I've seen 'em.
There were rats there.
Yeah, the big blue one with the red polka
dots. That was one of my favourite ones.
No, no, no, $10.
You owe me $10, pal.
$10
- There were rats, I saw...
- Yeah, they're driving.
I pay you.
They were rats, they were rats.
Alright, boys, let's go for lunch.
- I see the rats performed.
- Right on queue.
Stand by for seven years
of bad luck, Ang.
Go!
Ahh!
Ahh!
Enter the doppelganger!
Ohh!
Raise the parabolic. He's headed
for the phone booth.
Bubka? I need your help, now.
The governor is coming for advice.
- That's the bubkiss.
- Please, bubka!
Okay, okay, ten o'clock.
Ten o'clock, I will be there.
Hour and a half to get ready.
And after that we've got
three hours to find Tanya.
I was respected in the
old country,
revered.
I will not be subjected to such indignity!
Cut the outrage, Madame Olga...
I happen to know
that you spent more time
behind bars than you
did behind your crystal ball
- in the "old country".
- Misunderstandings.
Yeah, well, it's no misunderstanding
that you're in this country illegally.
Now, you play your part
and do as you're told,
or I will talk you
and your tarot cards to Rikers.
Hearing piece.
Police.
You believe in that... gibberish stuff?
- There's justice after all.
- Ilya, yes.
Yeah, I used your argument
on the captain.
The one about the "real thing"
being better than synthetic?
Yeah, and if he happens to see
his daughter get rescued...
There you go, Ilya,
we're the American cops.
- Show time.
- Got your back, Rollie.
Vidcam's online. Projectors are hot.
- Ilya?
- That's it.
Oh, this is good, this is good.
Thank you, bubka.
What is it, bubka? Tell me!
Ooh, I should have seen it sooner.
The evil eye!
Pavel, you have been cursed.
And by a very powerful sorcerer.
A koldun of the first order.
Please, you must help me!
No, no,
to aid you would make me subject
to the koldun's wrath.
I have money, more,
a great deal of money.
Perhaps coming to terms
first would be better.
Bubka, think Rikers.
Think solitary confinement.
Bread, water, showers
every other Sunday.
However, my friend,
your plight is so perilous,
it touches my heart.
I will help you...
- for nothing.
- Oh,
you ca... you can protect me
- from this koldun?
- I have a talisman.
It will shield you from the strongest...
Do not look so surprised, my Pavel.
A koldun is capable of anything...
Even killing a bubka.
- Ilya?
- Of course.
How do you think
I got where I am, huh?
Hard work, honesty.
Ha, ha!
And if my Tanya is not freed at once,
I will turn my power
against you.
We're on him. Stay in touch.
Hey, Mr. Tyler,
you and I, we could get
very rich together, no?
Please work, please...
Bastards!
The oxygen flow has stopped.
They said "a precise
calculation", Ilya.
She has three hours left.
Yeah?
Rollie, Pavel's at the
East End of Charlemagne.
- He's at a phone booth.
- We're on our way.
You have no idea of the
forces we're dealing with!
We know what we are doing, Pavel.
- Now, you listen...
- No.
I have made my decision. Live with it!
IN RUSSIAN:
Fool.
He's going to free the girl.
I told you he is a fool.
Mira, he's stopped.
We've got it covered, Rollie.
IN RUSSIAN:
Good night.
Pavel...
Pavel!
Pavel's shot down.
All units, move in, move in!
No!
He's gone.
Tanya!
Where is my daughter?
We will never know now, never!
We have units checking
every building in this complex.
- Every floor, every room.
- Yeah...
but look at this place!
Hey, check over there.
We have a latitudinal match,
but that's it.
There's hundreds of rooms
that size on the building plans.
And we have 15 minutes
to search 5 acres of a factory.
Oh, my god, that poor kid.
Angie, look at this tape
from this morning.
That's sunlight.
It had to come through a skylight.
Mm-hmm, and there's
hundreds of skylights.
What are we gonna do, poke around
on the roof with flashlights?
I don't think so.
We don't have the time.
Or do we...
Help me with the gear.
Section 1 is clear.
Nothing. We're moving to section 2.
Let's move!
Section 1 is clean.
They're moving into 2.
That leaves us 3 through 8.
Three through 8, alright.
- What do you reckon, Ang?
- My lucky number is four.
- Fire away!
- Okay.
Let's go to 7.
That is it, you found her. Hurry!
- All units, proceed to section 7.
- On my way.
We're never gonna
find her in six minutes.
- We can narrow down, though.
- Narrow it down?
There's 50 skylights in each section.
Fifty!
First light!
Rollie, I had something.
Sweep back, slower.
Stop there.
Now bring it in.
- Anything, Ang?
- Negative.
- Got it?
- Nothing yet.
Damn!
That's it, that's it!
Rollie, you got it!
You got it!
Time!
Whoo!
Tanya?
Tanya!
Tanya, can you hear me?
- Rollie?
- Yeah, it's me.
I'm sorry.
Don't get used to lazing around.
You're on tomorrow's
call sheet. Get out.
- Yeah, we got rats to wrangle.
- I can't wait.
Thank you.
Thank all of you.
- Rollie?
- Yeah?
There's always a way.
There sure is.
Or die!
How about "None of the above"!
Cut! Very! Great!
Six A.M., right on the schedule.
I wanna thank you once again
for a magnificent all-nighter.
Oh, I love you.
That was fu-u-un, wasn't it?
- Yeah, you were really terrific.

Ah, Rollie, you are one sick dude, man.

Ah yes, very nicely, indeed on budget.
Ah, now, don't typecast me. That

Although it looms large, huh?
- Papa.
- Ah, look the rat wrangler.
- The best of the rat wranglers.
- Tanya, huh.
You have to come by
the set tonight, papa.
Rollie's having vampire bitten to death
by hundreds of my rats.
Then he's gonna burst into flames
as sphere of fire sent from the heavens.
- Not before the ceiling caves in.
- Ahh.
- Rollie can do anything.
- Oh, I concur.

it's toxic tea!
You don't know my police friends.
Rollie,

I've already lost my language

I only have one thing left...

Ang, check her right hand against
the finger spelling database.
I don't have to. It's a "K" and a "P".
K.P. or P.K.
Kozlov.
Pavel?
No!
Ilya, he knew about the sat phone trace
we set up with the N.S.A.
Did he know about the
secondary backups?
Yeah, that too.
And he also had time to make a call.
Pavel, Pavel, Pavel.
You know I cast only good spells.
I cure people. I help them
with their troubles.
And I never use the evil eye, no.
Now tell your bubka,
why are you so frightened?
I have done a terrible thing.
But it was because
I had no prospects, no hope.
Alone, in a strange country,
with no friends.
Except for your bubka.
Talk to me. What have you done?
Your nose, your mouth,
they're no longer
in their right places.
But I have a cure.
Special waters.
They are costly,
but for you...
Mr. Kozlov,
your landlord told us
we might find you here.
What do you want?
A straight answer.
I have told you,
I know nothing.
Look, your brother has
exactly 1.5 million.
You're broke: motive.
Mr. Kozlov, there's other
people involved here.
Professionals. Dangerous professionals.
If you just give us their names -
I... if I give their names I'm lying.
Because there's no one else.
Now, I want to see my lawyer.
You cannot keep me from my lawyer!
You obviously need
a little more time here.
I'll be back.
My own brother...
Tanya's dying,
and he's asking for lawyers.
You're getting nowhere with him.
My Tanya
is running out of time!
Stop it! Stop that whistling!
Don't you know what's good for you?
He worries about his childish fears.
How could he do such a thing!
The writ of release
just came through, Frank.
- He's done here.
- Are you kidding me?
It's for real.
What will we do now, hmm?
Okay, let's go.
- What's going on?
- His lawyer got this writ.
Pavel,
you're the only one who
could lead us to Tanya.
Ilya, I would never hurt Tanya!
- Liar!
- Ilya!
Allen, your weapon.
Where is Tanya? Talk!
I know nothing!
IN RUSSIAN:
Die, basterd!
Ilya... put the gun down.
Not until he talks.
Ilya...
Don't, Rollie, no...
...I will shoot you.
Ilya, that's not gonna
help Tanya, is it?
And that's what we're
here for, remember?
Rollie, she only has a few hours.
So let's not waste them.
There's always a way.
Uhh!
Lock him up.
I must thank you.
Huh, you can go to hell.
Move it, come on.
This is bloody priceless, captain.
Pavel's about to walk the streets.
His victim is suffocating,
and her father...
Her father is locked in jail.
We have no choice.
It's the law.
I'm tired told you stop whistling!
I'm tired told you sit down.
What is going on out here?
One of his many superstitions.
No whistling, no...
What?
Where'd you pick him up this morning?
Brighton beach. Landlord
said where he'd be.
He said he was visiting his
"bupkiss" or something.
- His bubka?
- His bubka, whatever.
Can you hold him for an hour or so?
Yeah, we can take our time
with his report, why?
What would happen if made
his worst nightmare
come true in broad daylight?
We just entered Brighton beach.
Any particular address?
My apartment, 14 Gorky.
Alright.
N... no, no!
No, no, no!
- Hey, sit down.
- Stop the car. Stop the car.
Stop the car. Stop the car.
What's the matter?
Hey, hey!
Hey man, I got $10 on the meter.
- Y-your cab's full of rats.
- Hey, your brain's... full of bats!
No, they were there. They were there.
Yeah, I've seen 'em.
There were rats there.
Yeah, the big blue one with the red polka
dots. That was one of my favourite ones.
No, no, no, $10.
You owe me $10, pal.
$10
- There were rats, I saw...
- Yeah, they're driving.
I pay you.
They were rats, they were rats.
Alright, boys, let's go for lunch.
- I see the rats performed.
- Right on queue.
Stand by for seven years
of bad luck, Ang.
Go!
Ahh!
Ahh!
Enter the doppelganger!
Ohh!
Raise the parabolic. He's headed
for the phone booth.
Bubka? I need your help, now.
The governor is coming for advice.
- That's the bubkiss.
- Please, bubka!
Okay, okay, ten o'clock.
Ten o'clock, I will be there.
Hour and a half to get ready.
And after that we've got
three hours to find Tanya.
I was respected in the
old country,
revered.
I will not be subjected to such indignity!
Cut the outrage, Madame Olga...
I happen to know
that you spent more time
behind bars than you
did behind your crystal ball
- in the "old country".
- Misunderstandings.
Yeah, well, it's no misunderstanding
that you're in this country illegally.
Now, you play your part
and do as you're told,
or I will talk you
and your tarot cards to Rikers.
Hearing piece.
Police.
You believe in that... gibberish stuff?
- There's justice after all.
- Ilya, yes.
Yeah, I used your argument
on the captain.
The one about the "real thing"
being better than synthetic?
Yeah, and if he happens to see
his daughter get rescued...
There you go, Ilya,
we're the American cops.
- Show time.
- Got your back, Rollie.
Vidcam's online. Projectors are hot.
- Ilya?
- That's it.
Oh, this is good, this is good.
Thank you, bubka.
What is it, bubka? Tell me!
Ooh, I should have seen it sooner.
The evil eye!
Pavel, you have been cursed.
And by a very powerful sorcerer.
A koldun of the first order.
Please, you must help me!
No, no,
to aid you would make me subject
to the koldun's wrath.
I have money, more,
a great deal of money.
Perhaps coming to terms
first would be better.
Bubka, think Rikers.
Think solitary confinement.
Bread, water, showers
every other Sunday.
However, my friend,
your plight is so perilous,
it touches my heart.
I will help you...
- for nothing.
- Oh,
you ca... you can protect me
- from this koldun?
- I have a talisman.
It will shield you from the strongest...
Do not look so surprised, my Pavel.
A koldun is capable of anything...
Even killing a bubka.
- Ilya?
- Of course.
How do you think
I got where I am, huh?
Hard work, honesty.
Ha, ha!
And if my Tanya is not freed at once,
I will turn my power
against you.
We're on him. Stay in touch.
Hey, Mr. Tyler,
you and I, we could get
very rich together, no?
Please work, please...
Bastards!
The oxygen flow has stopped.
They said "a precise
calculation", Ilya.
She has three hours left.
Yeah?
Rollie, Pavel's at the
East End of Charlemagne.
- He's at a phone booth.
- We're on our way.
You have no idea of the
forces we're dealing with!
We know what we are doing, Pavel.
- Now, you listen...
- No.
I have made my decision. Live with it!
IN RUSSIAN:
Fool.
He's going to free the girl.
I told you he is a fool.
Mira, he's stopped.
We've got it covered, Rollie.
IN RUSSIAN:
Good night.
Pavel...
Pavel!
Pavel's shot down.
All units, move in, move in!
No!
He's gone.
Tanya!
Where is my daughter?
We will never know now, never!
We have units checking
every building in this complex.
- Every floor, every room.
- Yeah...
but look at this place!
Hey, check over there.
We have a latitudinal match,
but that's it.
There's hundreds of rooms
that size on the building plans.
And we have 15 minutes
to search 5 acres of a factory.
Oh, my god, that poor kid.
Angie, look at this tape
from this morning.
That's sunlight.
It had to come through a skylight.
Mm-hmm, and there's
hundreds of skylights.
What are we gonna do, poke around
on the roof with flashlights?
I don't think so.
We don't have the time.
Or do we...
Help me with the gear.
Section 1 is clear.
Nothing. We're moving to section 2.
Let's move!
Section 1 is clean.
They're moving into 2.
That leaves us 3 through 8.
Three through 8, alright.
- What do you reckon, Ang?
- My lucky number is four.
- Fire away!
- Okay.
Let's go to 7.
That is it, you found her. Hurry!
- All units, proceed to section 7.
- On my way.
We're never gonna
find her in six minutes.
- We can narrow down, though.
- Narrow it down?
There's 50 skylights in each section.
Fifty!
First light!
Rollie, I had something.
Sweep back, slower.
Stop there.
Now bring it in.
- Anything, Ang?
- Negative.
- Got it?
- Nothing yet.
Damn!
That's it, that's it!
Rollie, you got it!
You got it!
Time!
Whoo!
Tanya?
Tanya!
Tanya, can you hear me?
- Rollie?
- Yeah, it's me.
I'm sorry.
Don't get used to lazing around.
You're on tomorrow's
call sheet. Get out.
- Yeah, we got rats to wrangle.
- I can't wait.
Thank you.
Thank all of you.
- Rollie?
- Yeah?
There's always a way.
There sure is.
