when you're throwing guys in medevac you

don't ask their names

he remembered yours he wrote me about

think you should just go back to the

army for help

they've done everything but help first

they labeled him missing for ten years

then they labeled him dead i couldn't

find where

how when i made enough noise

they finally sent me his remains they

were the bows of an

ox you sure about that

i grew up on a farm i know the bones of

an ox when i see them

still i i don't know why you think i can

do it

john's letter said you went beyond the

call of duty to save him

have you changed that much

that was war that's what we did

i appreciate your predicament really

there's just nothing else i can do i

mean i'm a metro cop

arrange an escort for you

i'd be dead within a day of arriving

i married a soldier that makes me a

traitor in the eyes of the new regime

bailey was in the same predicament

because of me

the woman you mentioned this morning

i was trying to get her out of country

what happened

i failed kind of like i'm doing

keep you away from the feds

land did you take the files

whole works

i'm glad i asked

you have to rub it in adam

hello detective how are you this morning

i'd be a lot better if you didn't draw

attention to my steak i know what's your

business

short and sweet we think you're

harboring land dunaway

we're gonna bust you for that get your

warrant and go check out my place

we're working on that you come down here

to scare me that's a lot easier than

getting a warrant out of the capitol

don't bet on it

radio call dispatch ask him to contact

grady for me

have him call you here no just

tell him to move the package to his

place he'll know what package

yeah he'll know okay

[Music]

a lot easier if they took numbers

i understand you've had some success

locating john dunaway is it payday is

that it kim

it is not what you think you must

abandon this stakeout of

tranbu you mean call off the case that

is correct

your connection is a major supply i'm

not about to walk

if you want your lady friend to find her

husband

you will walk

these are two separate matters i have

made them one

the answer is hell no

then the lady's husband will never be

found

you set this up from the beginning

didn't you boudreau

you were the one who came to me for help

if you want me to continue to help

you must repay me in kind

call off the stakeout now

where's grady he went to get lion out of

your place before the feds get there

you shouldn't be doing this isn't that

why dispatch call they're looking for

how'd you know what know about lawn

well between you and grady and the feds

how could i not

grady should be here with lon any minute

are you okay

i'm this close to finding a husband and

i have to drop it

have to conflicts with one of my cases

oh

where the hell are they

grady's probably taking one of his

famous shortcuts that takes twice as

long

could you relax i wanted to help land i

really wanted to come through for her

okay but things happen no more that's

just not good enough

right it's just not good enough all

right you're right

malloys yeah

pedro here we just got a tip trying

booze coming in the harbor

i'm on it i'd like to know why you left

it

but kelsey's covering it all right i'll

explain to you later

yeah well you're damn sure that

i have to go tell grady that i keep

lying here

wait for my call okay

be careful right

[Music]

we got backup yeah they're on the way

okay here we go by the numbers

boss says it goes over there

welcome to our fair city train booth

sure

[Music]

give it up

[Music]

you have the right to remain silent if

[Music]

you're

she needs to see you even if you tell

her to get lost she needs to hear it

from you done away

i don't think you've been listening to

me

john dunaway died 10 years ago on a pow

camp in laos

where his country never authorized

troops

i had to stay in a box he came to visit

just because he wanted to

how'd you get out of the box his name

is chin ben

doing favors for your captors was the

usual way out

making opium runs is that how i'll get

started

after john dunaway died john dunaway was

a good soldier a good man

look i've had it up to here with your

mumbo jumbo

she thinks you're some kind of god man

now you're gonna have the decency to

talk to or what

decency pedro decency

is the first thing they take from a

prisoner of war of many

many things i was there man

i know i know no only chin ban knows

nice bus thanks for doing our job

so that's him not only does the m.i.a

exist but he's a huge embarrassment to

his country

but with opium runs and a little help

from his wife

what that important clothes business of

hers we were never fooled by that she's

part of his drug off

not your wildest dreams yeah let's see

what don always says

oh he'll say anything he's crazy well

then his wife's in trouble because we

got a warrant for her arrest

good luck finding her hey

can we get some quick trying boo later

oh great he's gassing up the bike too

glenn

something has happened to my husband

i've heard from an unbeatable source

that the man you married is dead

i'm sorry are you sure

[Music]

are they sure positive

[Music]

i know but you have to put that aside

for now

we have to get you out of here i want to

talk to your source

let it go i can't

i just can't

you taught me how now you have to

[Music]

it must be great he's gonna take you

across the border

[Applause]

do you have enough cash don't worry

about that

visitors

gentlemen can i help you this place is

co-owned by adam boudreau right

yes it is uh would you like to take a

seat i can get you something to drink

while you're waiting some coffee perhaps

or some tea we have a nice selection of

herb teas or some hot chocolate we have

our own fresh whipped cream

nothing thank you is boudreau here

i don't think so he might have slipped

in the back way though

you want me to validate your parking

ticket for you because if you're parked

out front they're gonna tow

back way yeah or um or the other back

way

all right come on b-man she's got to go

all right all right

[Music]

[Music]

we finally found you where is she

where's the dinosaur

[Music]

[Laughter]

just

it goes clear feds took off for now

anyway

good

how are you holding up i've been better

how'd it go with the package well

the package is across the line and

flying off to somewhere safe

what'd you get our ticket to don't ask i

just did well don't

i want to know where she is why so when

the feds ask you to testify someday you

have to tell them what you know

like where lan is

i didn't mean to take your head off man

she uh did ask me

to tell you something

yeah what

life is long that's it

life is long yeah like look we were

moving pretty fast but unless i

misunderstood her

that's all you need to hear life is long

all right

i don't like the odds though i know

but we found each other and you'll

you'll find her again

i hope so man

i sure hope so

yeah and maybe by then you're gonna

learn how to play this stupid game
