Revenge is a dish best served cold
Deakins, Dollo and Janis all take Bobby into "The Agency." He hasn't said a word, opting to keep silent … as in "you have the right to remain silent." When they bring him up to Deputy Gallagher's floor … all the other Agents stop what they are doing and stare him down. He stands a little straighter and stares right back. Gallagher comes out of his office and yells …
"Get back to work! I want to see Goren alone … get those handcuffs off … now!"
"But Sir!?"
"I said, get those handcuffs off Dollo."
"With all due respect …"
"You finish that sentence Dollo and you'll be pulling night duty in Siberia by this time next week … in uniform …got it?"
Dollo glances over at Deakins.
"Don't look at him … he'll be your lookout."
Dollo removes the cuffs.
Bobby has his head down during this exchange hiding the infamous Goren grin.
"The three of you, sit right there … Deputy Gallagher points at Deakins, Dollo and Janis and then at three chairs outside of his office. Don't even breath until I'm through with Goren!"
He escorts Goren into his office and slams the door.
"Bobby, you really fucked up."
"Yes Sir."
"I've never known you to kill someone in cold blood before."
"Before I get the evidence to you, I want immunity for my crime."
"For murder you mean."
"Yes Sir."
"Ah Bobby my boy … how many lives do you suppose you saved that day back in July … one maybe two thousand American citizens?"
"Yeah … maybe."
"You think I'm going to let them prosecute you?"
"I killed him … his back was turned. I let my emotions cloud my judgment."
"So the great Robert Goren is in love?"
"Sir?"
"Alexandra Eames."
"You knew?"
"I don't get the big bucks for nuthin Goren."
Bobby starts to laugh.
Bobby shakes his head … "I still want immunity."
"Where's the proof against Jimmy Deakins?"
"Immunity."
Gallagher calls legal and they draw up the papers "under the radar."
"Alex has the proof, she just doesn't know it."
"Why did Deak do this to you Bobby?"
"Revenge is a dish best served cold … he shrugs … The Adair case. He blames me … he loved Major Case. He felt that he left in disgrace … now look at me … if he succeeds, I go to jail for life … for treason."
"Bobby … I want you to take his position. No more globe trotting spy stuff for you. Settle down with Ms. Eames. It's time … over time for that white picket fence, mini van and the golden retriever."
"Thank you Sir."
"What? You accept? Really?"
"Yes Sir."
"Well, my boy really is in love."
"Yes Sir."
"Okay, it's time … go arrest Jimmy Deakins."
As he rises out of his chair, he sighs heavily … Jimmy meant so much to him over the years but every man has his price and their breaking point. He knew he had to go out there and "throw away the keys" on this one. It wasn't easy but then again, treason … yeah it was!
Goren came out of Gallagher's office with the Deputy by his side. Deakins, Dollo and Janis stood up abruptly … Bobby nodded to Dollo. Dollo grabbed Deakins' arm.
"James Thomas Deakins … You are under arrest for Treason against the United States Of America …"
"I should have known better than to try an out smart you Bobby."
"If you were that pissed at me Jimmy … why didn't you just … I don't know, hit me … steel my car … fuckin treason?"
"No see Bobby … that was suppose to be on you but the money … so much money."
"Money doesn't keep you warm at night."
Bobby went home to Alex … he found her in his bed wearing his blue dress shirt … tear stained face. She jumped off the bed and wrapped her arms around him.
"Are you home … home for good?"
"Yeah … It's over."
"Why? Why did Jimmy do this to you."
He shakes his head. "Adair … I'm not sure … I don't care … It's over." he kisses her but she pushes him away.
"Bobby … I love you but I can't be … I can't go through this again, ever. It's me or your job. You need to choose."
"Both."
"No! Choose!"
"Alex, I'm done … they took me out of the field. Regular hours. I have my own unit … no more globe trotting … I call the shots but from home if I want. I don't even have to go into the office."
"Bobby, what's that sound?"
He grins that grin … "Oh that sound?"
"Yeah, that sound."
"That's Bond."
"Bond?"
"Yeah … ah ha … Bond … James Bond … our new Golden Retriever pup."
fin.
