So we find her, we find Lester, we find the money. - What about this stepbrother in Oakland? - You and Gallagher take it. - Get some warrants. Set up a surveillance. - Great. Malcolm and I can stay here and hit the phones. No, no, I've got something special planned for you two. Sherry's got a long-lost grandmother in Cartersville, Georgia. And who knows, Malcolm?

- Got it. - You know what, man? Erskine and Stoner probably caught that girl Sherry two days ago. They just wanted us to sit here pickin' ticks off our asses. Nobody's tried to kill you for days. The stress must be overwhelming. I'm just here to catch a bad guy. If it goes down hard, so be it. If we could get in to plant the surveillance equipment, we wouldn't be stuck here. Hey, what do we have here?

Wait. You can't leave. Where's this great Southern hospitality I've heard about, Hattie Mae? lf I can call you that. I was hoping we could sit in the front porch and shuck corn, shoot squirrels... Boy, you ain't right. Did somebody hook you up to a jumper cable? When I say I got to go, move - I got to go. Wait!
