Lethal Weapon (2016) s03e09 Episode Script

1 (SHOUTING, WHOOPING) (SPEAKING SLOVAK) What are we doing? It's Christmastime.
(GRUNTS) (SHOUTING, CHEERING) WOMAN: Tell me if this stings.
(HISSES, GROANS) Yeah, it stings.
Good.
Not expired.
So, what happened? Same as every day.
Tomas and his dumb-ass crew gave me crap 'cause I don't know the language yet.
I just hate it here.
Remember you said the same thing in Cairo? And before that, in Athens.
Ten bucks says, by next Christmas, - you and Tomas will be best friends.
- (HISSES) - (GROANING) Ow.
- Oh, sorry.
That one's deep.
- Ow.
- Okay, just hold still, baby.
Close your eyes.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you want to be? Armenia.
I liked Armenia.
Okay, so picture the mountains above Jermuk.
There's two feet of fresh snow.
You're skiing from hot spring to hot spring.
There.
Done.
Better? Yeah.
Put on the hat.
What? Every year.
Why? It's a Cole family tradition.
'Cause some memories are worth holding on to.
Aw, you blinked.
- Gonna try another one.
- We already did another one.
Why do we have to keep doing this? Cole family tradition.
Some memories are worth holding on to.
I thought the Cole family tradition was a phone call each Christmas from a different war zone.
Well this is a year of new traditions.
I'm here.
Your mom's engaged.
You're not sorry you're not celebrating Christmas with Andrew's parents, are you? Are you kidding? They live on a golf course in San Diego.
That's basically, like, a retirement community.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, here's the plan.
We're gonna have a Christmas that makes up for all the ones that I missed.
It's gonna be the best Christmas ever.
You don't have to say that.
Mom told me to keep my expectations low.
So Okay.
Well, I'm doubling down.
Best Christmas ever.
(KNOCKING) Hey, buddy.
Cool flippers.
I think Jacques Cousteau's here to see you.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, Sam.
Are you coming? My dad chucked a bunch of quarters into the deep end.
Dad, can I go swimming already? Yeah, of course.
After one more picture.
(SIGHS) (GRUNTS): Here we go.
All right.
I'm loving it, man.
I'm there six weeks, and they already put me in charge of tires and brake pads.
It's just a matter of time before they name you - the third Pep Boy.
- (CHUCKLES) OSCAR: Yeah, my parole officer's happy about it.
Sam and I will be able to move out of this place pretty soon.
Well, you got to make sure you come say goodbye first.
We're gonna miss you guys.
Well, it won't be for a while.
I mean, I got to save some more money.
Can't even afford to buy this guy Christmas gifts right now.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING, HIP-HOP PLAYING) Hey, this is a guy from work.
You mind keeping an eye on Sam for me? Yeah, 'course.
(KIDS CHATTING INDISTINCTLY) MURTAUGH: Did you pack? How are you getting to the airport? RJ: Uh, I think - there's a bus from downtown.
- Don't think.
And don't take the bus.
Take a cab.
We'll pay for it.
- It's RJ.
Look.
It's your mother.
- Hi.
- Yup, Dad, we can see him.
Yup.
- Say hi.
Well, give it to me when you're done.
- Yeah.
- Oh, RJ, bring back Costa Rica T-shirts, please.
MURTAUGH: Hey, did you, um, print out your boarding pass? Yeah, yeah.
I-I printed my boarding pass.
I'm good.
Don't just open up the e-mail.
- You have to print it.
- He just said he printed it.
Okay, and when is your return flight? Uh, I don't know.
I haven't booked it.
Um, I was gonna do that when I got home.
Okay.
That's-that's a good idea, son.
All right.
Love you, and I will see you tomorrow.
Did you hear that? The part where you didn't hand me the phone? No.
The return flight.
He didn't make one.
Maybe he's given up on Costa Rica, and maybe we can convince him to stay.
Baby, we can't convince RJ to do anything.
- It is not our job.
He is an adu - Yes, it is.
- No, it's not.
- It is.
Roger, he's an adult.
But that gives me an idea.
- Hmm? - We can do a family dinner.
Family dinner? No, we got to go bigger.
I'm thinking a partay.
- A partay? - Yes.
- Roger, I don't kn - With the get down, - like the kids are doing.
- Oh, my gosh.
- No.
- Uh Wait, seriously? A partay for coming home? - I'm here all the time.
- Yeah, and we'll have a party for you when you're 35 years old and married to the guy that we both approve.
- Thank you.
- In the meantime, let's make this a night that RJ remembers.
Okay.
Fine.
Fine.
A small party.
- Yes.
- Okay? Okay.
Wh You act like I'm gonna go overboard.
(CLATTER IN DISTANCE) (QUIETLY): Alan, I heard something downstairs.
Probably just the house settling.
That's not a real thing.
Go look.
(CLATTERING, SHATTERING IN DISTANCE) I'm calling 911.
Screw that.
Sorry, hon, you're getting your Christmas present early.
You got me a shotgun for Christmas? You always return the sweaters.
Nobody move! Those firearm lessons really paid off.
I mean, who knew? I'm assuming you have a permit for that thing.
Yeah, she does.
A permit to splatter a guy all over our Christmas tree and soak all the ornaments.
BRENDA: Okay, Doc, let's go.
You've got teeth to straighten.
Are you okay, Roger? You're very quiet this morning.
Very banter-free.
Yeah, me, I'm good.
Just a little pensive.
You know, thinking about things, things like how hard is it for you to RSVP to a party to which you were invited? Roger, did you invite me to a party? Yeah, don't.
It's digital, which means I know you read it.
I know when you read it.
Early this morning.
Oh.
That party.
- Yeah, that party.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I can't make that.
It's my first holiday season with Maya.
So bring her.
There's a space on the RSVP for guests.
Just that one click, and I get that satisfying ding.
- (DING) - Like that.
(CHUCKLES) Scorsese.
Plus four?! W I don't know exactly who they're gonna be yet.
Is that too many? You didn't cap off the invite list.
Do you mind if I It is my favorite part, but yeah.
What is it? I'm giving you your RSVP.
I'm not gonna be able to make it to that party, Roger.
AVERY: Three home invasions in the last month, and you got him.
How is this not open-and-shut? You have your dead perp, Lewis Fowler, and you know who his partner is.
Actually, we don't.
There's a lot of nuances here.
Wait, you saw your dead home invader conspiring yesterday at your hotel with an ex-con.
"Conspiring" is a loaded term.
Oscar's a good man.
He is an ex-con who literally did time for breaking and entering.
I know the guy.
Our kids are friends.
He's turned his life around.
Huh.
And what does your partner think? He thinks he did it.
But, between us, Roger's a little preoccupied with this party he's throwing.
What party? He didn't invite me.
Well, that's because you and Todd go to Wyoming every Christmas - to see his parents.
- I'm sorry, is this Wyoming? Are we in Wyoming right now? No.
It's not Wyoming.
Are you okay, Captain? Everything good with you and Todd? And now I'm being interrogated about the status of my relationship on Christmas Eve? That's perfect.
Okay.
So we'll, uh, just go to the motel and talk to Oscar.
Great.
I'll let Roger know you're in town for the holidays.
Awesome.
Okay.
(EXHALES) (WHISTLING "DECK THE HALLS") Ah, Detectives.
It's a pre-Christmas miracle.
Let me guess you guys heard about my holiday cookies.
We need to borrow your slab.
What do we got? Chopped-up body parts.
A jogger found them in Griffith Park.
It's the holidays, so, of course, Murtaugh and Cole catch a simple case, and we get to spend the day putting together some random guy's bits.
The patriarchy strikes again.
I think we got the better gig.
Come on, guys, we get to make a puzzle out of body parts.
You're kind of a weirdo, aren't you? Hey, you're both going to Murtaugh's, right? Any interest in a little pre-game action? I know this spicy, spicy kombucha joint.
- Zero interest.
- I'm in.
Cool.
All right.
I'll text you the details.
Ran out of gloves.
Be right back.
(DOORS OPEN, CLOSE) Just so you know, you don't have to be polite to Scorsese.
You'll want to, you know, shut him down earlier in the day, before he gets his hopes up.
Oh, I wasn't gonna shut him down.
I love kombucha.
(CHUCKLES) Everybody does.
But it's Scorsese.
So (CHUCKLES) Dude seems interesting.
I keep forgetting that you're new.
Some people have to learn the hard way.
I like the hard way.
MANAGER: Listen, the only reason I'm letting you guys in here is 'cause of my respect and affection for your partner.
Also, we have a warrant.
Well, yeah, you have that, too, - but a lot of it's 'cause of the respect - Yeah.
- And affection for your partner.
- For the-for the partner.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Open the door.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
I've got a magnetic personality.
- The Howard Hughes of this place.
- (PHONE RINGING) I am.
Why don't you and the president of your fan club get started.
I got to take this.
Hey, baby.
- How you doing? - Roger, remember when you said we were keeping RJ's party small? Now (CLEARS THROAT) did you order an ice sculpture? (CHUCKLES): Of course I didn't.
Now, did I make a call and get a quote from a guy for a ice sculpture? Uh Ah maybe.
(CHUCKLES) Roger, if you called just to get a quote, why is the guy here? With a block of ice and a chisel.
And two DJs, Roger.
Really? Two DJs?! I don't hear you.
Baby, I'm gonna have to call you back.
Oscar Ripley? - LAPD.
We need to ta - (ENGINE REVS, TIRES SQUEAK) Oh (TIRES SQUEAL) Dad? He's not gonna stop.
Roger, don't shoot! Oscar, hit the brakes! MAYA: Dad, your room.
Don't worry, sweetie.
It's just a little mess, - we'll clean it all up.
- Get your hands behind your back.
Still gonna be the best Christmas ever.
Dad? It's not just the room.
It's what was in the room.
Tree, decorations.
I had these little cute dancing elves.
You just wind 'em up, and they're Not a single one survived.
Look, I-I'm sorry, man.
I truly am.
I panicked.
Not a good look on an innocent man.
I heard about the burglary, all right, and I knew you saw me talking to Lewis.
I was worried that you would think I was involved.
Guess what I think now.
Lewis offered me the job, but I said no.
I got Sam to look after now.
Speaking of which Found this in your room.
Stolen from a home invasion last week.
Oh, see, I bought that off of Lewis.
I'm just trying to give Sam a great Christmas, especially since I've missed so many already.
I'm not the guy you're looking for, Wes.
Would you please tell Cole that this is exactly the guy that we're looking for, and we want to go home? Not me.
I never want to go home again.
Okay, Mr.
Dark and Stormy, what's going on? Cole told me that you and Todd - cancelled your trip.
- Not cancelled.
Todd's in Wyoming.
You know, I don't want to talk about it.
Perfect, because I don't like I mean, if he wants to be apart for the holidays, we'll be apart.
Solo.
Some people find that peaceful.
They do.
And that's the right attitude.
Relax.
All alone in a big, quiet, empty house, room after room of Okay, look, hey, you want to come over early and help me prep for RJ's party? Oh, God, please, yes.
Okay, yeah.
Can you let me go, man? Like, just-just for tonight? I promised Sam that I-I'd take him to the parade tomorrow to meet Santa.
I can't.
Everything's pointing to you right now.
Yeah.
Then can you do this? Don't let Sam go to some foster family, not for Christmas, man.
Hark! the herald Why can't you get him out? Dad, you know him.
- He's innocent.
- My dad promised.
He doesn't do the stuff he did before.
I believe him.
It's just not enough to get him out of jail.
Okay, well, what would be enough? Well, we'd have to find the burglar who was at the scene to prove it wasn't Sam's dad, but that's a long shot.
What about him? He's the guy in the car with my dad's friend yesterday.
While you were swimming? There was somebody else in the car with Lewis? Yeah.
We saw him when we went in to grab snacks.
That looks a lot like Santa, buddy.
It's not Santa, Dad.
We're 12.
You left out the birthmark.
White beard, red cheeks and a peanut-shaped birthmark.
- Like this.
- Yeah.
Just like that.
You said this was gonna be the best Christmas ever.
Well, I don't want a tree or wind-up dancing elves.
Find him.
Get Sam's dad out.
Everybody knows A man is supposed to be so strong All right, just tell me.
I can tell something's wrong.
Ever since I lost the election, Todd's disappointment has been palpable.
- That does not sound like Todd.
- You'd be surprised.
Hey, hey, we're at party in minus 50 minutes, people.
Can I get some help here? Okay, Roger, Brooks is in a crisis.
He needs someone to listen to him right now.
Well, can we listen while he dices onions? It'll help mask his tears.
Roger! - (DOORBELL RINGS) - That's probably the photo booth.
He By the way, he left early today to do this.
TRISH: He did.
Ah.
I had you down for a "will not attend.
" Plus zero, by the way.
Change of plans.
Do you mind if these guys hang out here for a bit? Uh, Murtaugh, this is my best friend Sam.
Hey, Sam.
Do you dice vegetables? TRISH: Honey.
What? - (LAUGHS) - I'm serious.
Maya, come on.
Bring your friend in.
Come on.
(LAUGHS) Thanks for helping my dad.
You got it.
Hey, Oscar's kid what did he mean? He gave us a lead.
Let's go.
I can't.
I got a party.
I can't just go.
No problem.
Why don't you tell his kid, then? I'm sure he'll understand.
All right.
What's the lead? That's not a lead.
That's a kid killing time between French fries.
It's exactly what I thought until I scoured about a half-dozen mug books, and I found this.
Calvin Marks.
Armed robbery, assault, home invasion.
Plus, he shared a halfway house with our DOA, Lewis.
Look at the birthmark.
Yeah.
Okay, we got to be back here by 8:00, all right? And I drive.
Let's go.
This is the last known address.
Looks like nobody's been here in forever.
Well, this thing is bolted shut.
No one's getting through that door tonight.
I have a pitch.
We come back tomorrow with some warrants and heavy machinery.
Hey, Tarzan, where you going? Looking for another way in.
Hey, Roger, do you believe in miracles? Come on.
You've never heard of A fictional character.
Get See you downstairs.
Come on down, Rog.
Piece of cake.
(PANTING) (GRUNTS) (GRUNTING) Roger, what's happening? (GRUNTING) (YELLS) (GROANS) Piece of cake? I'm stuck.
Get me out of here.
All right, all right, settle down.
- (GROANING) - Come on! Come on.
Maybe a piece of cake was the problem.
(GROANS) All right, you stay right here.
I'll be right back, buddy.
I'm gonna get some, uh, cooking spray or something slippery to get you out of there.
Where you going?! Don't leave me here! (GRUNTING) Hey, Roger! (GRUNTS) (COLE GRUNTING) Oh, boy.
(GRUNTING) - (GROANS) - (CHAINSAW BUZZING) (GROANS) Oh! Cole! (BUZZING STOPS) (TIRES SCREECH, CAR DEPARTING) Huh.
Cole, where did they go?! In a surprising turn of events, it looks like the front door opens after all.
You know you're not invited to my party, right? Roger.
COLE: We call the arraignment judge at home and tell him to spring Oscar because we have two better suspects.
Except we don't, do we? No, I mean, technically, we don't have them.
Technically, that's what we need.
You have no you have no perps, you have no evidence.
We have a thumb.
A human thumb.
Right.
The, uh, missing digit, which, even if you did have it, would prove what, again? I don't know.
But the wrong guy's in jail, Captain.
I'm sure of it.
You're probably right.
But without suspects or evidence, there is no way he's getting released.
I'm sorry, Cole.
Merry Christmas.
We're gonna get him out.
But not tonight.
I did everything I could.
Well, it wasn't enough.
I promised Sam you would get his Dad out by tomorrow.
Honey, why would you promise him that? Because I know what it's like to not have your dad there for Christmas.
I've done it my entire life, and it sucks.
Maya.
Let her go.
This'll pass.
I don't even have a place for her to sleep tonight.
Cole, come on.
You both will stay here.
You go back to the motel, get some of your stuff.
She knows you're doing your best.
Maybe.
Deep down, I know she's right.
It's not enough.
How's your body? The one in the morgue.
The one you're piecing together.
Has? You got an ID? Uh, well, we're up to the waist, so we know it's a male.
(CHUCKLES) We should have all the DNA by tomorrow.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.
But, Cap, what do you think about this? The Gute and Scorsese she says she's having fun with him tonight.
Fun.
With Scorsese.
It's easy to misunderstand people.
Wait, what am I misunderstanding? We're flawed.
We make mistakes, we push away the people we love.
We're not talking about Scorsese anymore, are we? Todd wasn't disappointed in me.
(SIGHS): I was disappointed in myself.
I think I've become difficult to live with.
Okay, you know what? I'm gonna get you some coffee.
That's probably a good idea.
(PHONE RINGING) - Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, Dad, listen You landed! Huh? Well, listen, you're a little late, but you'll make up some time on the freeway, right? No, no, I'm-I'm still in, uh, Costa Rica.
Say what? Come again? Yeah, my-my, uh, airline ticket got, uh, messed up.
Just a technical glitch.
A glitch? What kind of glitch? Um, well, they had me on a flight for yesterday and-and not today, on account of the time zones.
Time zones? It's a one-hour difference.
That's not technical.
It sounds like a human glitch, one very specific human.
It's RJ.
Fool missed his flight.
This is so typical - of him.
- Dad, I'm still on the phone.
Well, listen, it'll honey, it'll be fine.
When's the next flight out? Maybe tomorrow, end of the week.
Um I'm not sure you know, flights are spotty.
Sp You know what's spotty? You're spotty! And flaky! That's the perfect country for you.
Okay, I-it happens, and you are not helping.
Yeah, it happens to this kid, all the time.
We got 40 people downstairs.
What are we supposed to tell them, you can't make it to your own party? A party? Wha What party? This is ridiculous.
Do I have to come down there and fly you back myself? Wha? I didn't call you to get yelled at.
Okay, give me the phone.
RJ, honey, why don't you look into You know what? New rule: you can't go to another foreign country until you can read the clock.
Roger, stop it.
I'm serious.
Look, if this is how you're gonna be, maybe I shouldn't come back at all.
Oh.
Well, it's a moot point now, isn't it? Because even if you wanted to, your flight left yesterday! (BEEP) Hmm! Can you believe that? He hung up on me.
Oh.
I can't believe it took him that long.
You act like, somehow, this is my fault.
Oh, there is no somehow about it.
Why do you always do that? (SQUEAKS): Why do what? Try to control him.
Give him no margin for error.
RJ is an adult.
Well, then he needs to act like one.
- Hmm.
- He forgets to register his passport, then he books the wrong flight coming back home, and now, to top it all off, he's missing his party.
- His party? - His party.
Hmm.
This is your party.
I wanted a nice dinner with our son.
But I got an ice sculpture and 12 gallons of gazpacho.
They had a sale.
And why are you acting like it's my fault that - he missed his - Missed his flight, Roger.
That's all.
You have got to find a new gear for him.
Because if you keep giving RJ reasons not to come home he won't come home.
(DOOR CLOSES) YOUNG COLE: Come on, we're gonna be late.
Tomas said we decorate the tree before dinner.
I'm excited, too.
I-I'll see you tomorrow.
We're leaving again, aren't we? Indonesia.
They've asked me to cover a separatist uprising.
This is good news.
We're gonna be living on the beach.
When are we going? They want me there Christmas morning, so, um we leave tonight.
Hey.
We're gonna be surfing at sunrise.
I don't care.
We're supposed to have Christmas with Tomas's family.
I don't want to wake up somewhere new.
So you'll make new friends.
You know how long it took me to make these friends? I don't want to start over.
I know that this is disappointing, but you have to see the bigger picture.
We have never seen Indonesia, and it is gonna be awesome.
I promise.
What do I always tell you, huh? Another adventure awaits.
Dude.
I went to the mat for you, man, but owner's real mad about the whole car-in-the-hotel thing.
He wants you out.
He called you a chaos magnet.
Yeah.
I get that.
I don't.
You didn't drive your car into the wall.
You're the victim here.
Super badass victim.
I mean no room at the inn? On Christmas Eve? What have we become? Gus don't worry, I'll be fine.
Yeah, but where are you gonna go? Another adventure awaits.
ROGER JR.
: Hey.
It's RJ's phone.
Say what's up and I'll hit you back.
Hey-hey! RJ, listen, um I know I got a little carried away last night.
May have scared you off coming home.
I hope not.
I mean, you know, people book the wrong flights all the time.
I'm sure it's a common mistake.
I just personally don't know anybody that is dumb enough to do something Wait, that's not what I meant.
(GROANS) Murtaugh, you got a second? Yeah.
How do you delete a voice mail that you sent to somebody? You go to Costa Rica and steal RJ's phone.
Come on.
You need to see this.
Geez.
Looks like a Manson family jigsaw puzzle.
Exactly.
You see, this guy gets it.
No, do you notice anything missing? Here's a hint: the day you got stuck in a chimney.
I didn't get stuck.
I was descending slowly.
- It was a gentleman's entry.
- Yeah, well, we all heard what Cole said he found in a freezer.
His left thumb? Okay, so, who is this guy? No.
No, no, no, no.
Get up.
Up.
I don't even like people sitting on my couch for extended periods of time.
Sorry, Captain.
I was up late working on the Oscar case.
What are you doing here? - It's Christmas.
- No, it's not.
Out there, it's Christmas.
But in here, it's just another day.
- Where is that holiday spirit? - It's in Wyoming.
Well, I have something that might cheer you up.
I had a little breakthrough last night.
Look at this.
The home invasion file? I read it.
It's three random victims.
An orthodontist, a night janitor and a commercial real estate agent no connection.
Wrong.
All three of them used the same parking garage on Prospect Street.
Boom.
Breakthrough.
Barely.
That's probably where the crew found their victims.
Let the garage management know and go find another couch.
I feel like there's more to it than that.
There's some kind of design with these robberies.
I just can't put my finger on it.
'Cause it's not any finger.
It's your thumb.
The body me and Gute just put together.
It's missing a left thumb? - Right.
- Well, then it can't be the same.
No, it is the left thumb.
I'm saying he's right.
But he - What are we doing? - Okay, well, who-whose finger is it? W-Was it? It's is Dan Underwood.
He managed the Global Initiative Currency Exchange on Prospect Street.
Prospect and 3rd.
It's the biggest currency exchange in the state.
During the holiday season, we're talking three to four million in vault cash.
Those two lunatics from the cabin they're hitting that vault.
On Prospect and 3rd? Could not have picked a worse day to do it.
(MARCHING BAND PLAYING "JOY TO THE WORLD") (LIVELY CHATTER) Ho, ho, ho! (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Are you sure this is okay? 100%.
You're with me.
You were promised a Christmas Day parade, so you're getting a Christmas Day parade.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) (ALARM BEEPING) (ALARM STOPS) (LOCK CLICKS) ROGER JR.
: Hey.
It's RJ's phone.
Say what's up and I'll hit you back.
Hey, RJ.
Yeah, it's your dad.
Ignore the last three messages.
Uh, just listen to this one.
What-what I've been trying to say is RJ, your dad's sorry, he loves you, he misses you like crazy, and that's why he's acting like a jackass.
Hey.
Thanks.
I think.
Turns out it's a whole lot easier to apologize to somebody else's kid.
Now, can we focus, catch some bad guys? Let's do it.
Huh.
Now, that doesn't seem right, no? No, it doesn't.
Gentlemen.
What's in the bags? MURTAUGH: Were we exchanging some currency, maybe? (SANTAS LAUGHING) Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Pardon me, excuse me.
(LAUGHING, INDISTINCT CHATTER) I'll get that one.
LAPD, stop! I said stop! Dad? Maya, what are you doing here? Sam wanted to see the parade, so we came.
Sam? - Where is he? - Um, he was just with me a second ago.
Sam! Cole? Hey, who are you? Let me go! - Cole! Cole! - Stay here.
Don't move.
Hi! Merry Christmas.
(GRUNTS) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (GRUNTING) CROWD: Ooh! (INDISTINCT CHATTER, CLAMORING) MAN: Santa's got a gun! (HANDCUFFS CLICKING) He started it.
Cole, help! Cole, help! Please, let me go! Cole, help! Come on, man.
- Let the kid go.
- Back off! Sam, it's gonna be all right.
No one has to get hurt today.
You want the money? It's yours.
Okay? Just drop the gun.
We'll walk out of here.
You're gonna let me walk out? - Just like that? - Yeah.
Release the kid.
I give you my word.
You're full of crap, man! Get on the ground.
Okay.
Sam do you trust me? Close your eyes.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be? Hawaii, with my dad.
I said get on the ground! On the ground, now.
You're in Hawaii.
You and your dad.
