My Sonata, No Time To Rest
Lab, 6 am
Calleigh: *walks in* Tim? Tim wake up.
Speed: *opens eyes* Calleigh?
Calleigh: *sits in chair* You've been in the AV lab all night.
Speed: Is Horatio back?
Calleigh: Yeah.
Speed: *sigh* Is he looking for her?
Calleigh: Delko's with him. They just went out.
Speed: He's not going to let them find him.
Calleigh: They still have to try.
Cell phone rings
Speed: *looks at table*
Calleigh: Is that yours?
Speed: No. It's the bad guy's. *picks up phone* Yeah?
Louis: Did you sleep well?
Speed: What do you want?
Louis: I want you to find her.
Speed: How?
Louis: By following my instructions.
Speed: That's what I've been doing for the past day.
Louis: And you've done very well so far. Are you ready for the next game?
Calleigh: *whispers* I have to go phone Horatio. *leaves*
Speed: Yes.
Louis: Very good. I want you to go down to Dade Mutual Bank.
Speed: Why?
Louis: You're going to make a withdrawl of ten thousand dollars.
Speed: You want me to rob the bank?
Louis: *laughs* It's interesting isn't it? A police officer robbing a bank.
Speed: I'm not a cop.
Louis: Of course you're not. You will go down there quietly, and you will make the withdrawl quietly.
Speed: I can't just walk into the bank and demand money without people noticing.
Louis: You had better because if you fail, your wife will leave here in a body bag.
Speed: And what if they refuse to give me money?
Louis: You will do whatever is necessary.
Speed: What if I get caught by the police?
Louis: You won't get caught. I have people looking out for you.
Speed: Well gee thanks, how big of you.
Louis: My men will help you. Just make the withdrawl and then I will call you.

Speed: *bangs head on desk*
Dade Mutual Bank
Speed: *walks up to teller*
Woman: *smiles* How may I help you sir?
Speed: I need to uh...Make a withdrawl.
Woman: From which account?
Speed: It's not that kind of withdrawl.
Woman: ...I don't understand.
Speed: I need ten thousand dollars right now.
Woman: *reaches under desk*
Speed: Please don't push that button.
Woman: *frowns*
Speed: Please...I need this money.
Woman: Why?
Speed: Someone will die if I don't get the money.
Woman: I'm not going to just
hand you ...*whispers* Thousands of dollars.
Speed: We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way.
Woman: What's the hard way?
Speed: You die.
Woman: Do you have a weapon?
Speed: Me? No. There are about six men in this bank however who do have a weapon.
Woman: *looks around*
Speed: There should be a briefcase behind you. Fill it up and send it this way.
Woman: I'll call the police after you leave.
Speed: I should hope so.
Woman: *fills briefcase*
Speed: *looks around*
Woman: *closes briefcase* It's filled.
Speed: Did you put a tracking device in it?
Woman: Of course not.
Speed: If you did you can tell me. I need to know.
Woman: No.
Speed: Put one in.
Woman: Why?
Speed: I want to keep track of the money.
Woman: Okay. *puts tracking device in briefcase*
Speed: Good. Send it over.
Woman: *slides briefcase*
Speed: Thank you. *picks up briefcase* You can call the cops now. *leaves*
Woman: *presses button*
Outside
Speed: *sigh*
Cell phone rings
Speed: *opens phone* Yeah, it's Speed.
Louis: Very good. I want you to drop the briefcase down a manhole.
Speed: Why?
Louis: To get rid of the evidence. Your fingerprints must be all over it.
Speed: You didn't even need the money?
Louis: It's not fun being on that end of the phone is it?
Speed: *frowns* I could be arrested because of you.
Louis: My men will take care of it.
Speed: *throws briefcase down open manhole* There. Happy?
Louis: Very.
Speed: What now?
Louis: I keep up my end of the bargain. I said you could speak to your wife, and I am a man of my word. You have fifteen seconds.
Katie: Tim?
Speed: ...*sigh* Are you okay?
Katie: I've been better.
Speed: *sits on curb* Did he hurt you?
Katie: No.
Speed: Where are you?
Katie: I-
Louis: Now that's not a question I want to hear.
Speed: I don't care about you. I just want my wife back.
Louis: Do you take me for someone stupid? Once you have her back, you'll go after me. You won't find me, but you won't stop either.
Speed: No. I don't care.
Louis: You're a terrible liar.
Speed: *frowns*
Louis: Your wife has three hours to live.
