Back in the present, Darnell finishes up by telling them that the whole agency wanted him dead, which is why he went into witness protection. Earl's all, "So, your dad turned you into a trained assassin. My dad would make me hold the flashlight when he worked under the sink. Sometimes dads suck, but you have to get past it." Earl gives Darnell a card that Danny Glover sent, a belated birthday card for Darnell. Darnell immediately says "Oh no," and repeats it after opening the card. We see a beeping device inside of it, but when Earl asks Darnell what's wrong, Randy tells Earl to wake up, because he obviously didn't like the card. Danny Glover comes in just then and shoots tranquilizers into Earl, Joy and Randy. He tries to shoot Darnell, but Darnell catches the darts and says, "Hello, dad." Danny Glover replies, "Hello, son." Darnell: "Let's do this." He leaps into the air toward his dad as we cut to commercial.
When we're back, Darnell and Danny Glover continue to fight -- both physically and about the past. Darnell says he's not his father, or he would have done something for him, like teach him falconry. Danny Glover says he just didn't want him to be soft like his brother. Darnell asks what brother, but Danny Glover says nothing. Darnell pulls out a knife and says Danny Glover robbed him of a childhood and now apparently a brother. Danny Glover gets the knife and says they should stop, since they're so evenly matched. Then he tells him that if he could find him, so could anyone else at the agency. He says Darnell's friends are brave, but they're idiots, and the tall one couldn't even tell the difference between a tear and saline solution. Darnell asks what he wants. Danny Glover wants to give him a chance to make up what he did to the agency and go back to living his life. One last mission, and he's out for good. Darnell knows it's a risk that could get him killed, but the way he's living now (eating TV dinners alone while Joy does all sort of chores) isn't the life he wants. He'll do anything to get back to the trailer, even risk his life. He tells his dad he'll do it.
Next thing we see is one of those gigantic, military helicopters. Earl is inside, sleeping in the back. He comes to, and says "Hey, Crabman." Both Darnell and Danny Glover look back from the cockpit and say, "Hey, Earl." Earl asks what's up and Darnell comes back to explain that his dad wanted to take Earl so that Darnell would cooperate. Darnell tells him that no danger should come to him. Unless something happens to Darnell, in which case he doubts Earl will survive. Earl looks completely freaked. Darnell tells him he's going to give him a shot to knock him out so he won't see anything he shouldn't, but if he needs to cry first, now would be good. Earl cries as Darnell gives him a shot.
