I can't live like this any longer.
Oh, do you think I like it? You've been like a zombie ever since Jack-- No! Don't you dare blame this on Jack.
I-I I can't talk to you when you're like this, Carolyn.
I just can't do it.
It's ridiculous.
[Sighs.]
[Sighs.]

I-it took me too long to convince you to give us a shot.
I'm not gonna let suit boy just pop in and steal you away.
It's not gonna happen.
- I'm not backing off.
- No one is asking you to.
So what? What are you--date us both? I haven't decided.
Whoa! What are you doing? Helping you decide.
You're ridiculous.

No, no, no.
No one ever calls me this late.
- Mm-mm.
- [Gasps.]
It's work.
- You can't do it-- - I got to-- Kowalski.
Yes, sir.
What address? What? That's Sergeant Randall's house.
No, no.
There's no problem.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Um, um, I've got to go.
I'm sorry.
[Sirens wailing.]
We've got a big problem.
The shooting victim is-- Secretary to Chief Watson, married to Sergeant Paul Randall for 40 years.
Three kids-- did have three kids.
The youngest son died a few years ago-- dog named Crumb.
My father was Paul's partner, like, 20 years ago.
I think we spent more time with the Randall family than we did with our own.
Do you want to hand this off to someone else? No way.
So did you hear how Carolyn's doing? Paramedics had already left with her by the time I got here, but from what your brother told me, she's not doing well.
My brother's here? Which one? - The blond.
- Steve.
Kowalski and Flores How'd I get so lucky? What's homicide doing here? The department is Robbery/Homicide.
We cover each other.
You think this is a robbery? No.
There's nothing to suggest it was-- no forced entry, nothing missing.
- What are you saying? - What we're all thinking.
Excuse me.
I am not thinking that Sergeant Randall shot his wife.
Are you? Abby, Sergeant Randall's clothes were covered in blood.
- Hey.
Hey.
- Abby.
You're the only good thing I've seen all night.
How you doing? You okay? Tell us what happened.
I don't know.
I went for a walk.
When I came back, I found her.
Sergeant Randall, we're gonna need your gun.
- I don't have it.
- Where is it, sir? I don't know.
I always keep it on top of the refrigerator.
When I found Carolyn, I [Sighs.]
went for my gun, and I couldn't find it.
Look, you had a party here tonight, didn't you? Yeah.
I'm finally hanging up the badge.
Who was at the party? [Sighs.]
Your parents, uh All of our friends.
We're gonna need the guest list, sir.
Yeah.
Everybody should be in here.
I really need to be at the hospital.
I know.
We'll get you there as soon as possible.
I need you to go down to the station first.
I'll get him processed.
I'll meet you at the office.
Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I can't believe you got the 911 call.
- You okay? - No.
It was Carolyn You know? It was like finding mom.
- Who would do this? - I don't know.
She's gonna be okay.
Abby You didn't see her.
She's in rough shape.
Who's gonna tell mom and dad? We were just there.
How long ago? We left around 11:00.
Where's Paul? He's down at the station being processed.
Dad, his shirt was covered in blood.
There was no forced entry, and we can't find his gun.
- Paul would not do this.
- I know.
But I still have to follow the law.
I'm going to the hospital.
I'll drop you off and pick up Paul.
Thanks.
- So you went for a walk? - Yeah, I, uh Got a couple blocks away, and I heard gunshots.
So I ran back to the house.
I found Carolyn on the ground.
So I went to get my gun.
It wasn't there.
I--that's when I saw the Back door was open.
So I went back to Carolyn, and I called 911.
How did her blood get on you? I was trying to stop the bleeding, but there was so much blood, it-- Look, I [Sighs.]
I know how this looks.
The spouse is always a suspect.
But I'm telling you I didn't do this.
Sergeant Randall I'm gonna need your badge.
Until further investigation, you are suspended.
How is she? She's out of surgery.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
It's bad.
The bullet hit her in the chest.
There's a lot of damage to the lungs.
Listen to me.
Carolyn is tough.
If anybody can make it, it's Carolyn.
- [Grunts.]
- All right? Okay.
Come on.
Come on, I'll take you to the hospital.
- Still think he didn't do it? - Yes.
Any way you'll just let me investigate this on my own? Not a chance.
That's what I figured.
We'll canvass the neighborhood.
Call me if you find anything.
Hey.
I just pulled Paul's file.
He has multiple complaints during 1991 through 2002.
I.
A.
cleared him of all charges.
There's nothing in there about domestic abuse.
I can't believe this.
I mean, we grew up with the Randalls.
My first kiss was with Eileen.
- Yeah, so was mine.
- What? Well, we were-- we were playing hide-and-seek.
Somehow we ended up in the-- the same hiding place.
And we kissed.
Sorry.
She was hot.
She was five.
Whoa.
She was, like, 14.
Wait, your first kiss was at five? Okay.
Can we please get back to Paul? None of this makes sense.
Paul would not do this.
And if he did, which I'm not saying he did, but if he did, why would he use his own gun? - Exactly.
He wouldn't.
- It would be pretty dumb.
What was Paul like when you got to the house? Did he seem weird at all? Did he say anything to you? - [Scoffs.]
- What? This isn't about the case.
It's about family.
The Randalls were family.
I know, but I still have a job to do.
What? I'm just supposed to ignore the clues? [Scoffs.]
Unbelievable.
I'm out of here.
- Oh, come on.
- Me too.
Wait for me.
Guys.
Oh, great.
Thanks.
Danny.
We need to talk.
You keep telling me you're not ready for a relationship, and then I see you out with John Brody? What the hell, Abby? Brody and I are not in a relationship.
What would you call it? W--it's-- none of your business! And by the way, you didn't seem so concerned about me.
You say you'll wait, and then I see you out on a date with-- - I said I'd wait.
I didn't say I'd wait at home.
Look, if you're just being nice because you don't want to hurt my feelings, I'm a big boy.
I can take it.
What I can't take is being strung along.
So tell me, Abby Am I wasting my time? No.
Care to elaborate? [Sighs.]
I like you.
What about Brody? I like him, too.
Anyone else I should know about? I'm just trying to get the facts.
The facts are, counselor, that I was serious when I said I didn't want a relationship.
And yet you're dating Brody.
Yes.
Dating is not a relationship.
Then that leaves us with no other option.
We got to go on a date.
How is that the only option? You got to get me in the game.
I can't compete if I'm not playing.
Well, you do have a point.
So it's a yes? Great.
Tomorrow night? [Monitor beeping.]
[Woman speaking indistinctly over pa.]
How is she? She's stable.
- Has she woken up yet? - Not yet.
Mom, have you been here all night? Mm-hmm.
Your father just left for work.
Eileen arrived last night.
Tommy's coming in this morning.
Those poor kids-- first Jack, and now this.
I thought I heard your voice.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I am so sorry.
You know, I couldn't believe it when I heard you'd gone over to the dark side.
But now I'm really glad you're there.
Look, I'm gonna do whatever I can to help Paul, okay? Thanks.
- Hey! - Hey.
How are you? Hi.
[Sighs.]
She's gonna be okay.
Carolyn's the toughest woman I know.
Do you know the Randalls well? Yeah, I've been their neighbor for ten years.
You ever have any problems with Paul? Absolutely not.
No, I love having a cop on the street.
- It makes me feel safe.
- What about Carolyn? Oh, she's a dream neighbor.
She's the nicest lady.
Everybody loves her.
Were you at the party last night? Yes.
Great party.
Left around 10:00.
- Did you hear or see anything? - No.
Not till the police sirens.
You know, there-- there was a man sitting out in his truck for the longest time - When was this? - About 11:00.
Can you describe the man or the truck? Well, it was dark.
I couldn't really tell you what h he looked like.
But t the truck was, um, old, like one of those from the '60s.
You know, um Vintage? Yes.
Yeah.
And, uh-- and a really pretty blue.
I know who it is.
- I was waiting on Sheila.
- What was she doing? - No idea.
She didn't tell me.
- Oh, come on.
You and mom tell each other everything.
What did I tell you? Don't ask any questions because he's my dad.
Answer the question, sir.
You want to know what they were talking about, I suggest you ask Sheila.
Can you describe Carolyn and Paul's marriage? Survived 40 years together.
That should tell you something.
Neighbors said they fight a lot.
Show me a married couple that doesn't.
Sergeant Kowalski, I know you don't believe this, but we are trying to help your friend.
I think one of you is.
I'm gonna go talk to your mom.
You shouldn't come.
- Can I get a ride? - Sure.
Not a good idea.
Remember what I said-- no questions about the investigation.
Right.
- How bad is it? - Bad.
I checked the neighborhood.
No reports of any burglaries in the last year.
Doesn't mean anything.
Dad, there was no forced entry.
The bullet they pulled out of Carolyn is consistent with Paul's gun.
There's no one else with motive and reason.
You really think Paul could've done this? My heart says no.
But my gut tells me to listen to the evidence.
You know Paul.
You've known him your whole life.
He did not do this.
- Thanks.
- [Sighs.]
What can I do? [Sighs.]
Just find the man who did this.
Well, Abby's good at her job, all right? It's gonna be okay.
So how are you? I hear you're expecting? Yeah.
Yeah, Laura's, uh, three months pregnant.
Wow.
I know.
And you have? Ah, two boys.
- Wow.
- Yeah, I know.
- Can you believe it? - No.
You know, I always thought it would be us.
So did everybody else.
So what happened? We grew up.
I can't tell you.
- Why not? - I promised Carolyn.
Mrs.
Kowalski, if you know something that can help this investigation, you need to tell me.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
[Sighs.]
Abby and I are trying to help your friend, but we cannot do that without the truth.
I am asking for you to help us.
[Sighs.]
Okay.
But before I tell you, you have to know that Paul did not shoot Carolyn.
Got it.
What did Carolyn tell you? That she was leaving Paul.
Why? She couldn't take the emptiness of that house anymore.
The grief of losing Jack It was too much, and being in that house only made it harder for her.
Paul refused to sell, so Carolyn was leaving him.
Thank you for telling me.
[Cell phone ringing.]
Excuse me.
Flores.
Yes, sir.
When? I'll be right there.
They found the gun that was used to shoot Carolyn.
Ballistics came back on the gun.
Matches the bullets that they pulled out of Mrs.
Randall.
It's the same gun that's registered to you, Sergeant Randall.
My client told you his gun was missing.
- Yes, he did.
- Sergeant Randall, please.
Can you think of anyone at the party who might've taken your gun? No, the house was full of cops.
Where would Carolyn have moved it? - I don't know.
- We know the argument you had that wasn't about cleaning up.
- Your wife was leaving you.
- Who told you that? - Is it true? - Yes-- You got into an argument.
It got out of hand.
You grabbed your gun, and you shot your wife.
My client was on a walk.
We have no witness that saw your client on his walk.
Paul, help us.
What are we missing? I don't know.
I-I-I don't know who would do this.
Everybody loves Carolyn.
You know that.
Stand up.
You're under arrest.
[Sighs.]
You okay? No.
Paul was right.
Everybody loves Carolyn.
Someone didn't.
[Sighs.]
Maybe this wasn't about Carolyn.
Do you think this is about Paul? You saw his report.
He's had multiple complaints.
Maybe he pissed off the wrong ex-con.
It's worth a shot.
- Kowalski.
- Hmm? You give any thought to who you might want for a partner while Flores is on maternity leave? No, sir.
Start thinking.
McClarey or Born? [Voice breaking.]
They're both great.
I think you couldn't go wrong with either.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Yeah, I just got something in my eye.
Lina, will you please tell me what's wrong? [Lina blows nose.]
Oh, thank goodness.
She's been in there for 20 minutes, and she won't tell me what's wrong.
What started it? I asked her what Detective I should partner up with and---- what? Her last two partners dumped her when she was on maternity leave.
It's kind of a sore subject.
Lina thinks I'm gonna dump her? That's crazy! I know that, and you know that.
And so does Lina, when she's not a few weeks from having a baby.
- What can I do? - Go home.
Enjoy your night.
I got my girl covered.
Okay.
Thank you.
Call me if you need anything.
[Sighs.]
Baby? You okay in there? [Crying.]
No.
You need a hug? [Sniffles.]
Tell me what's wrong.
[Sniffles.]
I can't see my feet.
That's too bad, 'cause they really are beautiful feet.
And I'm so hot.
And the baby keeps moving.
And my stomach is upset, and I ran out of all my-- thank you.
[Sniffles.]
Now, you want to tell me what you couldn't tell Abby? [Sighs.]
I don't know if I'm coming back.
I-it was just so hard before with the twins, and now this baby-- You know I'll support you, whatever you decide.
That's just it.
I can't decide.
All right.
So, um We got some figuring out to do.
In the meantime, we'll just take you home.
We can draw up a cool bath, and you can relax, while the boys and I make your favorite dinner.
[Sniffles.]
Why are you so good to me? 'Cause I love you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm sorry.
Last-minute emergency.
No worries.
So, for tonight, I have three ideas.
- You decide.
- Wow, pressure.
Number one, bowling.
I love bowling, but I'm horrible.
Okay, number two, Second City.
Well, I love comedy.
Number three, Casablanca.
I don't know if you like old movies, but it's playing at the Music Box.
I love old movies.
Great.
So, Casablanca? Only if we can stop by Garrett's and pick up some caramel popcorn.
Got caramel and cheese.
Wasn't sure which kind you liked.
I was hoping you'd pick Casablanca.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
No way.
Ilsa couldn't stay with Rick.
She had to leave with Laszlo.
Even Rick realized that.
All I'm saying is that Laszlo would've been fine without her.
His cause was the war, where Rick would've given up anything for Ilsa.
Sometimes there are more important things than love.
- Like what? - Like family.
You'd put family over love? Well, if I was seeing someone my family didn't like, I would seriously have to think twice about seeing that man.
I'm not sure about that.
Don't you want your family to like the woman you bring home? Well, yeah.
But I hope that they would respect my feelings and opinions and give her the benefit of the doubt.
You're not a girl with three brothers, are you? Yes.
I'm very happy about that, though I do like your brothers.
And you're not so bad.
Thank you I think.
So we gonna do this again? Have a discussion about Casablanca Or the date? I was hoping the date.
I'd have to check with my family.
[Chuckles.]
Very funny.
I thought it was.
- Mm-hmm? - Mm-hmm.
[Chuckling.]
Walking.
Walking.
Okay.
Good night.
[Knock at door.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How's she doing? - She's better.
The doctors say she's past the worst of it.
Oh, I, uh, brought you a sandwich.
Oh.
Thanks.
What's wrong? - They've arrested Paul.
- What? When? Few hours ago.
They found his gun.
It was the same gun that was used to shoot Carolyn.
Oh, no.
I don't believe it.
Doesn't matter what we think.
They have evidence.
[Sighs.]
Why didn't you tell me that Carolyn was planning to leave Paul? I-I couldn't.
I thought we told each other everything.
Donald, you do not tell me everything.
Yes, I do.
Okay, almost everything.
Honey, I wanted to tell you, but Carolyn made me promise.
This is horrible.
We have to tell Eileen and Tommy.
They're gonna be devastated.
[Sultry motown music.]
I'm gonna get some water.
Do you want anything? Just you.
[Record scratches.]
[Phone ringing.]
[Clatter.]
[Phone rings.]
Hello? No.
Mom, mom.
Slow down.
Did you say Carolyn's awake? All I remember is hearing a noise, and--and then the next thing I know, I'm here.
I wish I could help you, but - I didn't see who shot me.
- We're just happy you're okay.
Mrs.
Randall, before the party, did you move your husband's gun? What? Sergeant Randall said he always keeps his gun on top of the refrigerator.
Yes.
Yes, he does.
Did you move it before the party? No, there would be no reason to.
It was a house full of cops.
I only worried about that when the kids were little.
You get some rest.
Okay, if you remember anything, you let me know.
Thank you.
- We're missing something.
- Then let's go find it.
[Door opens.]
Nothing outside.
Any luck here? Uh, no.
Nothing.
"You framed me, and now it's time to pay.
" What is he talking about? Paul and I arrested Taylor Jones years ago for beating up Rose O'Brian.
She was 88 years old, a widow, lived alone.
Jones broke into her house, robbed her, and then he beat her very badly.
Luckily, a neighbor heard her moans and came to check on her.
By the time we got to the house, she was barely alive, but she gave us a description.
We found him with Rose's wedding ring.
Why does Jones think Paul framed him? Because he got caught.
Did Paul plant evidence? Dad, please answer my question.
There are serious accusations against you and Paul in here.
If I hand this letter in, I.
A.
could start an investigation.
And you and Paul could face corruption charges.
Paul did not shoot Carolyn.
If you think that this letter will clear him, then use it.
You rang? We think we know who shot Carolyn.
Can't wait to hear.
Sergeant Randall arrested Taylor Jones years ago for beating up an old woman and then robbing her.
He was later convicted.
And he spent 18 years in prison.
Several witnesses at the trial say they overheard Jones say he would make Randall pay when he got out.
Three days ago, Jones was released from prison.
And you think that he strolled into the Randall house, grabbed the gun from the fridge, shot Mrs.
Randall, then ran out of the house-- did I mention, unseen-- down a few blocks, then ditched the gun into a neighbor's garbage, knowing full well that the police would find it and pin the whole rap on Paul.
- Pretty much.
- I give it to you for loyalty.
Jones could've easily made it in through the back door.
It was a keyed entry.
There was no dead bolt.
He had motive, opportunity.
And no alibi.
We talked to Jones' parole officer.
Jones claims he was home alone.
Look, I don't want to believe a cop did this any more than you do.
Then help us.
Yeah.
Great.
We're gonna go talk to Jones now.
I'll talk to some of my street informants, see if they know anything.
Let me know what you find out.
This is Taylor Jones.
He's the one who shot Carolyn.
He's considered armed and dangerous.
Why are you telling us, Dad? Because we need to find him.
It's the only way we can prove Paul innocent.
Why not just tell Abby? She's the one working on this.
She knows, but by the time I.
A.
gets done with their bureaucratic mumbo jumbo, Jones will be halfway to Mexico.
You realize what you're asking? Yes.
And I understand if you choose not to be a part of it.
But I am doing this, with or without you.
[Tires squealing.]
Richie, Brody, around back.
Steve and Donnie, with me.
Chicago P.
D.
! Open up! Stop! Police! [Gunshots.]
Go! Go! Stop! [Tires squealing.]
Stop! Give me a reason.
[Indistinct chatter over walkie-talkie.]
Go ahead.
Really? You couldn't just let me do my job? I do not know what I'm gonna do with you.
[Siren wailing.]
Well, your father was right.
Jones was headed out of town.
He would've been long gone if they hadn't stopped him.
But how did you get him to confess? - I mean, we have no evidence.
- He doesn't know that.
I told him we had a footprint from outside the house that I was sure matched the tread on his sneaker.
And he bought it? He was a little skeptical until I brought in a lab tech to take a print.
I told him that if he confessed, maybe the judge would go easy on him.
Then he gave it up.
Did he say why he did it? Yeah, pretty much what you suspected-- revenge.
Well, Lieutenant, ladies, it's been a pleasure Strangely.
What a crazy case.
Uh-oh.
Holy shit.
Kowalski, get her to the hospital.
I'll call Carlos.
- Grab my stuff.
- Okay.
Carlos, it's happening.
No, Carlos, she's fine.
You're fine, right? [Grunts loudly.]
We'll meet you downstairs.
[Elevator bell dings.]
- Is--is it happening? - Oh, yeah.
Hey! Hey.
I was just coming by to say thank you.
I had a great time last night.
Yeah, me too.
Oh, here.
Go! Go! Good luck! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! - What are you doing? - What happened? Wh-- You must've done something, pressing all the buttons! Oh, my God! Help us! Help! Abby! Abby, I'm here! Okay, the elevator stopped! There's something wrong with it! You got to get us out of here! Oh, my God.
I can't breathe.
Oh, my God.
Abby? Abby! Yeah.
- It's okay.
- Oh, my God.
You're gonna be okay.
Just focus on me.
Just don't think about where we are.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay, that's not working.
[Sighs.]
Okay.
What about singing? Sing something.
- We g--we g-- we got to get out of this place Both: if it's the last thing we ever do we got to get out of this place Sounds like they're singing.
Both: girl, there's a better life for me and you [Panting.]
- Abby, can you hear me? - Yes? All right, you need to remain calm.
Okay, a little past it at this point.
Okay, I'm going down to maintenance.
I'll call your brother.
All right.
He's going out.
I'll stay with you guys, okay? Okay, you need to get us out of here.
- [Groans in pain.]
- Now! Let's get you, um, comfortable.
Okay.
- Um, how much time do we have? - Not much.
Call 911.
We need a paramedic! - What? - The baby's coming! Oh! She's in the elevator.
Abby! Hey, you okay? - what do you think? - Just stay calm.
Stop talking and get us out of here, Richie! - Aah! - Oh, crap.
Anybody got a crowbar? Hey, baby? Baby, you--you okay? Hi, baby! I'm fine.
Aah! - What's the situation? - My wife, Lina, is in labor.
My sister Abby is in there.
She's claustrophobic.
Lina, labor.
Abby, panic.
Got it.
Aah! How we doing in there? Uh, we've been better! Okay, I need you to remain calm.
Get us out of here! Listen, I can talk you through this.
What? No, no, no.
No way! No, I-- - [groans.]
Abby? - What? You have to do this.
The baby's coming now.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, tell me what to do.
Place something clean underneath the mother.
- Use my coat.
- Okay, okay.
You're also gonna need something to wrap the baby in.
Uh, my shirt.
You can do this, baby.
Now just breathe.
[Breathing deeply.]
You're doing great, honey.
I see the top of the head.
Okay.
Lina, don't push.
Keep panting.
Abby, let the head emerge gradually.
Don't pull it out.
- You're doing great, Abby.
- Aah! - The head's out! - Okay! Gently stroke the sides of the nose downwards.
You need to clear all the mucus and fluid out of the baby's nose and mouth.
Take the head gently in your hands, but don't pull.
You're just there to support the baby's head.
Okay, Lina.
It's just like the other two times.
Push.
Keep pushing! You're doing great, baby.
Just breathe.
[Panting.]
Aah! Oh, my God.
It's a girl.
You have a baby girl! I have a girl! [Laughter and applause.]
[Laughter.]
You should've seen your face.
Oh, I'm glad you think it's so funny.
I have never been that scared in my life.
[Chuckles.]
You were great.
We were great.
Someone wants to say hello.
[Whispering.]
Aw, hi.
Aw.
Oh, she's so beautiful.
I still can't believe I have a girl.
My little Carlina.
[Door closes.]
You're not coming back, are you? Yeah, of course I'm coming back.
- Here for a couple of days.
- Probably shouldn't be driving.
That's a different story.
And then I have a question-- Carolyn looks great.
She's tough.
You have had some day.
See, this is why I don't take elevators.
Honey, what were the odds? True.
Calamity does seem to follow you everywhere.
Mm.
And Richie told me that both Danny and Brody were there.
That was awkward.
Yeah, just a bit.
[Sighs.]
So pick already.
It's not that easy.
- Why not? - Because I like both of them.
Oh.
That does complicate things.
Okay.
Let's break it down.
Why Danny? Uh, be-- well, Danny is smart and funny and keeps me on my toes.
We have a lot in common.
Uh, I don't have to keep my guard up and watch what I say or do when I'm around him.
Danny likes me for me.
And I'm really comfortable when I'm with him.
And Brody? Brody.
Brody is Sweet and romantic and spur of the moment and hot.
I mean, he makes me feel things that I've never felt-- oh, hey, I should not be having this conversation with you.
[Laughs.]
That's fine.
But I don't think you're being fair to Danny.
How so? You haven't had sex with him yet.
- Mother! - I'm just saying.
It's an unfair comparison.
I mean, he's at a big disadvantage.
So you're saying I should have sex with Danny before I decide? No.
[Laughs.]
Don't be silly.
But, honey, just follow your heart.
And you'll make the right decision.
[Pop music.]
Are you burning evidence? What? No.
I'm just kidding.
What are you doing here? You ran out of the hospital before the traditional pizza-doughnut party began.
- Oh.
- I confiscated you one of each.
Thank you.
You okay? Yeah, just got a lot on my mind.
Eileen said to thank you.
So did Paul.
How's he doing? Mm, he's happy to be out Though I think he and Carolyn have a long road ahead of them.
You did a good job, Abby.
You made one giant leap for all I.
A.
kind.
I'm out of here.
Richie? Thank you.
See ya.
Hey.
I need to see you.
[Knock at door.]
Mom.
I thought of one more thing that you should take into consideration.
Oh, am I interrupting something? I've made a decision.
[Gasps.]
Between Danny and Brody? Yes, and he's gonna be here any moment, so you've got to go! Oh! [Knock at door.]
Oh! Um, no.
Back door.
Back door! Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Bye! Good luck! Oh, bye! Okay! Hey.
