If you had a million dollars to spend, would you ever give your money to a total stranger?
Don't tell me you're caught up in this whole Guardian Angel story. Richard Kemp is about as see-through as the hot air coming out of his mouth.

You got a bead on the real Guardian Angel?
Maybe.
Well, you gonna tell me?
Nope.
What do you say we take it up a notch?
All right, what do you got in mind?
Best two out of three.
I'm in. Hold on, hold on, hold on. What does the winner get?
Whatever the winner wants.
Ooh, I can tell this is gonna get ugly.
Didn't I tell you that was a good time?
You did. And I didn't believe you. But it was a really nice time.
Just collecting my winnings.
So... we done playing ping-pong?
Yeah, we're done playing ping-pong.
Should I call you the Guardian Angel?
I should've worn gloves, but I didn't exactly think I was committing a crime.
Well, you weren't. Still, I couldn't help trying to figure out why you would be giving $10 million of your hard earned patent money to complete and total strangers. Until I realized that all these people had lost someone they loved. Somebody whose autopsies were on your table.
What are you, a detective or something?
(About the people he's given the money to) These ten cases, they really stuck with me, Jo, I mean, because their losses only got worse. They... they got pink-slipped or hit with back taxes or had to drop out of school. I just wanted to try and repair some of the damage, you know? 'Cause, I mean, let's face it. That's something people in our business rarely get to do. So I decided to hand-deliver those checks because I wanted to personally hand someone hope. Some kind of joy. Of course, we all deserve that, but trust me, Jo, these folks deserved it so much more.
More than anything else, I wanted to reassure those people that somebody out there still understands there's always more than one victim in a crime.
Sid, I can't imagine how you've changed these people's lives.
Well...
But do you really want to give away all your money?
Well, it's like they always say, you can't take it with you.
I've been diagnosed with cancer. Yeah, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, to be exact.
What's the prognosis?
Oh, you know doctors. They've all got their opinion. But, you know, we've all got an expiration date, right? Whether it's tomorrow or ten years from now. It's what we do before then that matters. That's why I gave the money to those people, Jo. I mean, most of us aren't around to see what happens to the inheritance that we leave behind. I want to know what kind of difference I've made.
Are you in any pain?
Not really. But if there comes a time when I can't do my job, I won't hesitate to step aside. Just please, please let it be on my own terms.
I promise. Promise me you're not telling me goodbye.
No. Are you kidding me? I've got way too much work to do. No, this is only... good night.

There's no law that says I have to help you guys. So, you know what'd be nice? Just a little, maybe: hey, thank you for cooperating, Mr. Lombardo.
You wouldn't even be talking to us if the hospital hadn't called to report you coming in with a gunshot wound!
No one puts Lombardo at the scene.
But the science does.
Unless Lombardo had some sort of magical cloaking device, how did he end up in the crime scene, get shot, without anybody seeing him?
Do you have any idea who did this?
Not yet, but we have a whole team of detectives working on it.
No one's going home till we do.
So, what? You're... (Clears throat) ...here to process his body if...
No. No, we're here to collect evidence in his clothing once he pulls through surgery.
He said: 'I love you and I'm proud of you'. That's pretty good, right? If it's the last thing your father ever says to you?
Don't think like that.
From what I know about your dad, he's a fighter.
