Vasick crowbars open Jean's trunk. It's empty. The attendant yells, "What are you doing?" He demands to see Vasick's ID. Just as Vasick pulls it out, he spots Kimble, halfway across the lot. He tries to take off, but the attendant won't let him, so he kneecaps him with the crowbar. The attendant tries to stop him, and Vasick hits him in the back. The attendant collapses onto Vasick. Now, that has to be THE most dedicated impound lot attendant I've ever seen. The couple of times I've been to an impound lot, I could've been bleeding out every orifice of my body and the attendant wouldn't have batted an eye.
Kimble goes tearing out of the lot. He yells at the guard at the front gate, "Your partner's in trouble back there!" The second guard goes running back to find the gasping attendant, only to have Vasick step out and give him a crowbar to the head. Okay, that makes a lot of sense -- was Vasick just needing a bit of the ultra-violence so he hung around to whack the second attendant in the head? Why the hell didn't he go running after Kimble ASAP? Whatever. Why do I even bother asking?
A house. Gerard. A smoothy opens the door. Gerard asks where his daughter is. The smoothy tells him. Gerard steps in the house, and smartly shuts the door so quickly that the smoothy ends up outside. Haw! Pretty slick. Gerard walks over and yells at Alex for going home with a stranger. Alex says the stranger is a nice guy and has been trying to get her to come home. Frankly, I'd rather read a medical textbook about aberrant dermatological conditions than bear one more minute of this inane subplot. So here's the quick summary: Gerard impresses the Seriousness of the Situation (i.e., a girl's death) on Alex. Alex repents and laments not helping the girl out from under the scaffolding. There is a big parallel drawn between Alex's current situation and Gerard's not saving his first wife. Many blipverts of the accident occur. Alex demands to know about her mother, since Gerard never talks about her. Gerard starts to talk about her. Christ, go to family counseling and stop inflicting this stupid story on us!
Jean pulls up outside and hops out to open the trunk. She's somewhere near the impound lot, I'm guessing, since Kimble's right there. Jean rats out Bryan. She tells him they have to go get the lab results right away, and they peel out. Once they get the results, the syringes reveal that One Arm has malaria. We suffer through several blipverts as Kimble recalls One Arm having yellow eyes during their big motel fight. Kimble does the exposition dance and tells Jean that, since every case of malaria has to be reported to the CDC, he can find One Arm that way. Jean points out that that makes as much sense as looking in the New York phone book. She says, "I am not used to this." Kimble says, "You don't get used to this," but then clams up and puts on his Stoic Pants. Jean rebukes him for always closing up and never talking about stuff. Okay, who let Oprah be the consultant for this episode?
