[Final scene]
(Drops his badge on the table next to the other two) Ah, sheriffs of Rivertown, I'm gonna miss this job.
NNikki
Hey, if it weren't for you guys, there wouldn't even be a Rivertown.
CCraig
There wouldn't be a Craig Monroe either.
NNikki
So, if you ever come to Oklahoma, you should look us up. I'll fix you one of my special home-cooked meals. Just... do me a favor and promise not to make any fists?
Yeah, well actually, fighting's not really my strong suit, I'm much more adapted to romantic endeavors. (They kiss)
If you don't wanna miss the plane, then you better get a move on.
SSonny
Yeah. (Picks up the suitcases) You ready, sis?
MurdockAdios amigos. (The Monroes leave)
Speaking of planes, Hannibal. (Rises, grabs a stick; Hannibal, Face and Murdock back into a jail cell)
Murdock
B.A., you're not mad just because we flew you down here, are you?
Now wait a minute, remember your oath as a deputy, not to hurt other deputies?
I see three badges on the table, that mean you are civilians. I still got my badge. And as official law officer of Rivertown, I'm giving you guys two days in jail. (Locks the cell) I love it, when a plan comes together!
SShawn
Mr. Murdock, welcome to your new studio.
Murdock
I don't get it. I've already got a studio. My studio and I go back a long way. Long before home personal video cassette recorders.
SShawn
While you're under contract with the gallery, this is your studio
Murdock
You don't seem to understand! I need my studio! I trained inspiration to find me at that studio! Now, how is it going to find me?
Hey, I couldn't help noticing that jacket's beginning to dry out and crack. Ever try tanning butter?
Murdock
Only on pancakes. It tastes pretty yucky.
Murdock
But it did turn my tongue a nice shade of brown.
Well, uh, when we get on the plane you can sit next to him and if you figure it out, let us know.
[Murdock has just told Face that AJ Bancroft was his father]
What kind of a friend are you?
Murdock
Well it still might not be true. It's possible that he isn't your father.
Yeah, and it's possible he is. Why didn't you tell me Murdock, why? Why- why did you hide it from me?
Murdock
Because AJ begged me not to tell you, and I said OK, but if he didn't tell you, then I would.
I see, so you tell me now, huh, after he's dead. Well your timing stinks!
Murdock
WELL HE WAS DYING! What do you want me to do?! It was a last request!
Oh, I see... Well, it's nice to know where your loyalties are. And who else have you told? Hannibal, BA, Frankie, the newspaper boy?
Murdock
No no... Just you, me and... Stockwell knows.
Stockwell? You- you told Stockwell about my father but you can't tell me?! I swear, you know, I don't understand what motivates you. And you know something? You were always the one that I thought I could count on.
Murdock
Well you still can count on me!
Oh really?! Now because of you I may have lost the only chance I had to find out who my father was. Did you think it wasn't important?
Murdock
Face-
Ah, just leave me alone...
Murdock
Listen, there's more to this story-
[Face shoves Murdock to the ground. They stare at each other for a moment and Murdock gets up]
Murdock
Good... good, good. You're perfectly clear about that. But let me tell you one thing. You remember when I was in the van and you caught me on the phone? And I told you I was talking to Erica and I asked you for your advice. I said someone had come to me and they told me something about Erica but they begged me not to tell her about it, I said what should I do, you said to trust your gut instinct! Well it wasn't Erica I was talking about. It was you! And you were wrong! And let me tell you this: If AJ had not died, and if he had the opportunity to tell you, right now, here by this tree, you would be thanking me for holding back and not telling!
Murdock
No, don't say anything!... The one thing about you and me I've always liked... that's our fights. Because we don't have to... stumble over our lips... apologizing.
Check us in, the name is Robins.
Come on Murdock, let's go.
Hey! Where you guys going huh? Whats happening?
Well, if you were in a strange town and you need to find somebody, who do you ask?... Cab driver.
Ah. Yeah, but Stockwell said to stay right here and check in.
Murdock
Well, that's great, that's great, you just do that, that's great
I've always thought of Johnny as some kind of ... Superman ya' know?
They don't always find a body B.A
Murdock
Hey Frankie, do you know something we don't know? Why are you trying to convince us that Hannibal's dead?
I'm not! I'm just trying to face facts. Everything we've heard so far says that Johnny's not alive.
Frankie, there's not a shred of hard evidence that says that he's dead.
Yeah, except that goon back there who says he was killed!
Murdock
WELL YOU SHOULDN'T BE LISTENING TO GOONS!!!
Silent Pause
Murdock
I'm, I'm sorry, i'm sorry. It's just that g- goons are not a very reliable source of information you know.
Yeah, see the bottom line here Frankie is that were not gonna believe Hannibal's dead until we get some proof.
Murdock
If there's no body, then Hannibal is alive.
I think the key to this whole mess is Bobby, that little peddycab peddler.
Yeah how come you haven't let Stockwell in on that one!?
Murdock
Stockwell? Stockwell? Stockwell doesn't give a rats tail whether Hannibal is alive or dead!
You got that right crazy man.
'Stockwell walks into the room
O.K we're upgrading the status of this mission to Code Red. Now according to Colonel Smith's message, we've got 16 hours before the plutonium shipment changes hands. I have arranged for our friend back there to be picked up in a half an hour. So I want you to stay here until then.
B.A and Frankie will uh, cover this end here for you, Murdock and I have something we've gotta check out.
No, you're not checking anything out until the prisoner is picked up. Then I want you to meet Alice and me at Hop Louies. Understood?
Pause
Murdock
Yes. We do not believe that Hannibal is dead, General.
That's an interesting fantasy, but we don't deal in fantasies in this business.
Fantasy? Whoa, whoa, whoa wait just a minute here. This situation is NO FANTASY!
MMurdock (French accent)
Orange juice, please. Shaken, not stirred. And I'd like a bottle of Dom Perignon '75.
BBartender
My apologies monsieur but we are temporarily out of stock. Will '78 suffice?
Murdock
Well I don't see why not.
FFace (to Murdock using a earpiece)
I'll tell you why not, because '78 is an abomination. Try '71.
Murdock
Except, I wouldn't wash my car with it. Try '71.
(Last lines of the show)
Murdock
Just think: if we get a pardon, we may never have to eat a knuckle sandwich again!
I wouldn’t bet on it crazy man. Looks like Hannibal’s on the jazz again!
Murdock
[to Hannibal] No, you tell me right now, you tell me right to my face, you tell me that you don’t have a plan.
Well, I...I was thinking, like Bernie and George. What are we gonna do when this thing’s over? I mean, what are we really qualified to do?
Go after thugs in the park…
And outlaw motorcycle gangs…organized crime figures… why, there’s a world of slime-balls out there!
Murdock
I knew it. I just knew you had a plan.
