Back to Fi's place, where Sam and Michael are settling down to do some whiskey shots while they wrap up the A-plot. Gabriel was picked up by the cops at the warehouse, which is where the team apparently left his smoke-inhaled ass. Alan King is not only awake, but has pulled together some files on Apex and their Argentinean activities. "Fi gave him a talking-to," Sam says. "Goodie bags are going out to all the media types right now. So if I had stock in Apex, ooh, I'd sell." Fi's a regular Erin Brockovich, isn't she? Madeline comes in just then. "Brought some chicken soup for Fi," she announces. "Don't worry, I didn't make it." Michael says Fi's "resting," and Sam offers Madeline a drink, which she gladly accepts, having run out of smokes on the way over. They all tip back another one, and Michael and Sam head out, Michael asking Madeline to hang out there for a while. "Cavalry should be headed to the airport now," Sam says indiscreetly. "Long story," Michael tells his mom. "Whatever," she says. "You play nice, boys!" she says as she prepares to down another shot. She's a lot easier to get along with if you put a bottle in front of her.
