What's the matter, tyler?
Ransom-Drop stakeoutsmake you sleepy?
Kidnappings are boring?
Actually, I was hopingto wake up to discoverthe institution of a properA.M.B.E.R.Alert system.
You're off your snots, tyler.
Well, too bad the park ain't open.
We could pinch this kidnapper, hand mr.Kreshpane his baby,
And go for funnel cakesand lap danceswith the bearded lady.
That broad still working?
Something tells mewall street wasn't beckoning.
Well, I just hope baby andrewis safe, wherever he is.
Baby andrew's gonna bedead baby andrew if we get made.
There's daddy kreshpane now.
We got a bogey at 1:00.
Where's my son?!
Where's my boy?!Where's andrew?!
No, no, no.
You're under arrestfor kidnapping.
Kidnapping?
Sam, why do you lookso stricken?
It's about my father.
What about him?
He walked out on meand my mother this year--1973.
He just disappearedfrom our lives.
We neverheard from him again.
Where did he go?
I don't know.
Well, why did he go?
I have no idea.
Well, do you knowanything, sam?
He left town in the middleof my 4th birthday party,
Before I evenblew out the candles.
Well, he should be arrestedfor that alone.
It's my birthdaythis saturday--The exact date he vanishedin 1973.
Wait, so tomorrow'syour birthday?
Yeah.
How old are you gonna be?
I'm serious.
So am I.
Sam, you're not gonna be 4.
Am too.
Now you're actinglike a 4-Year-Old.
Annie, after the car hit meand I arrived here in 1973, I saw an image-
-A woman, my mother, wearing a red dress, being chasedthrough the woods.
Now...
I-I-I cat explain it, but I keep seeing it.
You know, over and over again.
Sam, maybe we shouldhave a littlebirthday party for you.
You know, I can make a cake.
No, I can't on saturdaybecause I have to goto lee's cousin's wedding.
But, well, maybe on monday.
You're missing the point.
Maybe this isthe reason why I'm here, to figure outwhat happened to my family...
and to prevent my fatherfrom leaving.
Are you saying that that filthykidnapper is your father?
That's exactly whatI'm saying.

Happy birthday to me.
My name is sam tyler.
I was in an accident, and I woke up in 1973.
I don't know how or why I'm here, but whatever's happened,
It's like I've landed on a different planet.
Now maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.
Life on Mars Season 1 - Episode 7
I swear to you, I had no ideathis was about a kidnapping.
I was just in the wrong placeat the wrong time.
So says every criminalI've ever arrested.
I know nothing about a baby.
Yeah, right, and I got zero interestin jacking up brigitte bardot.
So...
you dared to dream, seek greener pastures.
And when you read aboutthe kreshpanes' windfall, you planned your score.
I'm sorry, but I can'thelp you out there.
Get off your rusty-Dustyand tell uswhere that baby is.
You okay?
Yeah.
You know, I...
I got a boy at home.His name is sam.

He droolslike your grandfather.
Where are we goin'with all the noise?
It's just coincidence, that's all.
I got two sam tylersin my life?
And I think I wantto talk to my lawyer now.
And I thinkthey ruined a perfect asswhen they put teethin your head.
Look, you--You're a fatherand a parent, and you love your son a lot, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I love my sonvery much.
So what?
Well, so how doesa guy like thatend up at coney islandin the early dawn, collecting a ransom?
How does he get there?
Look, it was supposed to bea simple collectionfrom a bookmaker.
At least, that's what I was told.
Wh-What do--What do you mean?
I owe their people money, and they were threateningme and my family.
Whose people?
The, uh, pignato brothers.
Who the hellare the pignato brothers?
The pignato brothersare an up-And-Coming crewof the lower east side'scriminal underworld.
They were penny-Ante hoodlumsuntil la year.
Freddy venetti.
Who?
Freddy venettiwas a small-Time bookiewe found in a dumpsteron avenue C.
Wait, he's missingeyes, earsnd a nose.
And hands and tongue.
You can't see itin that photo.
Word on the street--The pignatos wanted it knownif you cross them,
You have violatedone of their five senses.
They retaliate symbolically.
Tin snips.
They used tin snips.
Turned freddyinto a potato head.
Do we know if the kreshpaneshad any business associationswith the pignatos?
Mr.Kreshpane saidthere were none.
That'sxactly why we needto lean harder on vic tyler.
This cren'severy shade of shady.
He keeps jerking us around, we'll have a dead babyon our hands.
Enter.
Uh, mr.And mrs.Kreshpaneare here.
Boss, maybe we should have vicmeet the kreshpanesface-To-Face.
What for?
Well, vic's gothis own family.
If he's got evenan ounce of humanity, he'll be more forthcomingin the presenceof the devastated parents.
What do you say, boss?
Get vic tyler.
Okay
But if this coffee klatchdoesn't work, know what happens next?
What?
I break out the tin snips.
Mr.And mrs.Kreshpane, I know this isextremely difficult for you.
The kidnappers threatened to--To do horrible things to andrew
If we gotthe police involved.
We are working on thisas fast as we can.
Trust me.
Vic tyler?
These areandrew kreshpane's parents.
Whe's ourbaby, mr.Tyler?Where is he?
Please, we need him to come home.
I'm--I'm sorry.I have no idea.
I can't help you.
All righT.Come here, come here.
Detective tylerwill do everything he can.
What if your sonwere kidnapped?
Where your son is.
Can you imaginebeing separated from him?
Can you imagine the heartbreakit will cause you and your wife?
Look, I feel lousy about this.
I really do.
But the pignatos are accountablefor that baby, not me.
But what ifyou take the fall?
What happens to urur family?
Who provides for them?
All right, look.
I expect a phone callthis afternoon at 2:00to arrangefor the money exchange,
But that's all that I know.
The pignatos don't knowI got pinched.
Not yet.
Doing the right thing here.
Hey, look, a-Anything justto put this behind me, you know?
You know, saturday'smy boy's birthday.
I'm throwing a party for himin the park.
Ice cream. . .
cake. . .
and a cowboyhat comes byand--And makes the funny animalsout of balloons.
I'ld like to be therefor that.
You will be.
So what's the plan, sam?
Um, we'll wait for the cllfrom the pignatos, and--
And once they give youthe location on the money drop,
We'll--We'll take itfrom there.
This is our house.
Yes, it is.
I keep meaningto get this fixed.
You never will.
I sell cleaning suppliesfor a living.
I'm on the road a lot.
Money's not great, but you plug away, make yourself a life.
I tried to lighten the loadby making some bets, you know?
I made some bad bets.
I couldn't pay them back.
You know, so they--They got merunning these errands, these low-Level underlings.
You know, I figured, no big shakes, right?
But look at me now.
I got a cop in my living roomlike I'm some common criminalwaiting for these. . .
frickin' psychos to call me.
I'm rry.
It's okay.
We're gonna figure this out.
My wife--She made me quitthe cigarettes, you know?
So I do these puzzles.
They help meduring stressful times.
But you still, once in a while, sneak one while she'sat the grocery store, right?
I never saidI was perfect, sam.
You know, I got a real superstitionabout the things.
Right?Once you--
Once you get a puzzlethat you can't solve, the key is--
It's always inthe bottom right-Hand corner.
And once you've figuredthat out, it just foldS.
That's your superstition?That's your method?
Well, that, and I prayto the great god of hendrixthree times a day.
I'm not sure which one'sworking for me, but I get by.

Okay.
It's normalto be scared, vic.
I'm not gonna let anythinghappen to you.
Yeah, well, you know, I onlymet the pignatos one time.
Mostly I just dealtwith the middlemen, you know?
What are they like?
Well, when I was a kid growingup in bensonhurst, right?
There was this one timewe caught these rats--
These big suckers, long pink tails like whips, greasy hindquarters. . .
and we kept 'em.
We kept 'em in a junked outicebox in the basement.
After about a weekof starving and all, they startedto chew their way out,
Right through the metal.
Yeah, I just happenedto be there when they did, you know, as their--
Their faces were poking out, the little jawsall bloody from the effort.
Never in my lifehad I seen sucha maniacal rage, you know?
That is, until I met. . .
tommy and angelo pignato, and that wasfor a whole five seconds.
You know whythey were pissed off, sam?
Why?
'Cause the mets lost.
-Listen, if I die tonight-- -I'm not gonnalet that happen.
If it happens, I want you to deliver the newsto rose and sammy, okay?
Look, tomorrow. . .
if everythingyou've told us is true, you'll be blowing outthe candlesat sammy's 4th birthday, okay?
Yeah.
We're off to see the wizard.
These bills real?
The bills are real.
That's not my worry.
My worry--Is this guyfor real?
Not very much.
Thanks a lot. It's all right.
All right. Are you sure?You sure?
'Cause I got somethin' for ya.
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah, yeah.
Easy doeit, old man.
Okay, he's in.
Hey, so no-Nuts saidit's your birthday on saturday.
That's right.
You got any big plans?
I don't like birthdays, chris.
Police?

Not a chance.
No!
Shots fired!Shots fired!
Listen to me.
Who did this to you?
Who shot you?
Here's a quarter, sammy.
Knock yourself out.
Remember, sammy, if you can beat my high score,

Careful. Careful. Please, careful.
Easy.
Are you okay?
Where's the briefcase?
They took it.
I don't know howthey know I squealed.
Which way did they go?
I didn't see.
After they fired, they ran off, and I just shut my eyes
'Cause I thoughtthat they were gonna come backand fish the job--Aah!
What kind of finkare you, tyler?
He's been shot!
Letting the pignatosget away with the moneybefore we can nab 'em?
He needs a doctor, not an interrogation!
We have to find 'em!
Find the baby.
Just go. I'll be okay.
Stay put.
I'm gonna call an ambulance.
See anyone?
Nobody came out the back, but there's a delivery doorin the basementwe didn't know about.
They might've went out that way.
Chris, you all right?
I know, I know, I know.
It's baby andrew.
I heard him cryingfrom all the way down the hall.
Poor little guy probablyhasn't been fed all day.
Yeah, we're going for a ride.
Oh, don't be afraidof your uncle ray.
You see what you did, ray?
-Wanna do more? -Yeah, sure.
You made him cry.
You made him cry over here.
So the loot says the D. A. 'Sgonna drop the charges.
I'm still embarrassedI got wrapped up in any of thisin the first place.
We never would'vefound the babyif you hadn't risked everythingto help us.
You did a good thing today, a really good thing.
Okay.
I'm sure your sonwill be very proudof what his fatherdid today.
Hey, um, I guess now you'll be able to gohelp him blow out his candles.
Won't you?
Won't you, vic?
Absolutely.
I wouldn't miss it.
There he is.
Hey, annie!
You're so sweet.
Where did you getyour rocket?
Oh, that was, uh, with him when we found him.
Maybe one day you'll get to the moon, too, sammy, huh?
It's not andrew'S.
Oh, we shouldvoucher that, yeah.
-Where is he? -Detective.
Wh--Where's vi
He left this morning.
Did he saywhere he was going?
Who knows where he goeswhen he goes?
I don'T.
-Do you? -No, I don'T.
Detective, do you knowwhat vic is wrapped up in?
No.
I'm--I'm not sure.
No.
Yeah, well, you know what?I'm not surprised.
But I will say one thing--Sinceyou showed up here yesterday, vic has been even moreagitated than usual,
And I would like to knowwhy that is.
I want youto promise me something.
Please, be careful.
There aresome very bad men out there--
Who barge into strangers' homeswhenever they damn well please.
Yeah, I think I'm lookingright at one.
Contrary to whatyou might think, detective, I don't always need saving.
I'm a big girl and I cantake care of myself and my boy.
I-I know you can.
It's just. . .
you're wearing a red dress.
My, deteive, what keen powers of observationyou have there.
A-Are you--Are you gonnawear that todayat sammy's birthday partyin the park?
Here's better question for you.
What businessis it of yourswhat I wear tomy son's birthday party?
Hello?
It's me.
Listen, I need your help.
Please, annie.
Vic's been lying to me, to all of us, this entire time.
He's involved somehow.
Can you keep an eyeon rose and little sammywhile I sort this out?
Sam, I promised lee I would goto his cousin's wedding today.
Look, it's justfor a few hours, okay?
All right.
Thanks.
Have central raise meon the radio if you need me.
Hey, sam, be careful.
I'm worried about you.
I'm not the oneyou should be worried about.
Talk to you later.
Excuse me, son.
Thanks, uncle butchie.
Hey, you spoil that kid, butchie. You know that?
Ah, he's a kid worth spoiling.
Go ahead. Play the game.
Uncle butchie?
Only my friendscall me that.
I'm--I'm, uh, a friendof vic tyler'S.
Do you know him?
Sure I do.
He comes in herewith his kid sammy all the time.
But, uh, I doubtI'll be seeing him much now, uh, not afterwhat happened last night.
First rule of the world--Don't make the wrong men mad.
That's it for the week?
Sam, are you there?
Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?
I'm at sammy's birthday partyat rowan park, in the woods.
I'm on my way. Keep an eyeon 'em till I get there.
If you see vic tyler, do n approach him.
Radio me immediately.
I can't let him get away. . .

Annie, where are you?
Annie, I've lost tyler.

A-Annie, 10-5 that.
You're breaking up.
Vic's making his wayinto the woods.
I'm going in after him.
No!No, listen to me.
Annie, do not follow him.
He's dangerous.
Excuse me, sir.
Have you seen my dad?
I don't knowhere he is.
Go back to your mother.
I'm gonna goand find your father.
Sammy, come on!It's timeto blow out your candles.
Coming.
Annie!
Stop!
You hurt?
I'm fine.
Don't know if I cansay the same for him.
Go back to the party.
-Radio for backup. Sam--
I need you to go backto the party, annie.
Now.
Fine, but if you're not backin five minutes, I'm coming back in.
I know, uh...
I know how this looks, sam.
I left the station'cause I just didn thinkthat you could protect meand my family from the pignatos.
-Yeah, I just had to get them-- -Save it.
I know the truth.
I know you were trying to flee.
I know you kidnapped the baby.
Come on.
I wasn't gonna hurt him.
Just...
trying to geta little extra moneyso that my familycould live comfortably.
I mean, you got no ideawhat it's like not being ableto provide for your family.
You can't use themas an excuse anymore, vic.
This was never aboutat your family needs.
You weren't on the roadbeing a salesman.
You were expandingyour criminal concerns.
You told my motherwe were brokeso she wouldn't hassle you aboutspending so much time away.
Your mother?
What you're about to do--Walking out on your familylike this...
your son's gonnablame himself,
And it's gonna affectevery meaningful relationshiphe forms his entire life.
Let me tell you something, sammy.
Everything that I do, why I started all thisin the first place,
Came out of a needto take care of my family...
To make sure they were safe.
My wife...
My boy.
Being a salesman, it just didn't cut it.
That's a cop-Out.
What do you know about it?
Huh, sam?
What do you really know?
It was my 4th birthday partyhere at rowan park,
And I'ld just watched youdance with my mother,
And I was about to blow outthe candles, and I realizedyou weren't around.
So I followed youinto the woods, and I saw youbeating a policewomanto death.
You strangled her, then you kicked herand you kicked her.
And then you fledand you never came back.
But I blocked it out.
I blocked it outuntil I came here.
The memory...
the memorywas just too painful.
Tell me something, boy.
Did you have a good timeat your 4th birthday party?
No.
And I didn't becomean astronaut, either.
Police?
Not me.
Not a chance.
There areno pignato brothers.
I could say yes, but that...
wouldn't betelling the truth.
What's the truth?
I am the pignato brothers.
Hey, you okay?
You're not gonnashoot me, vic.
What makes you so sure?
'Cause that's notwho you really are.
Well, maybe not, but I'm not gonnalet you arrest me.
Right?
I'm not gonna havemy boy knowinghis father's in prisonfor doing terrible things.
I can't do that.
Right?I mean, I got--I gottathink of sammy.
