Burn Notice2007

[last lines]

[Madeline is sitting in an FBI interrogation room. Callahan enters]

Madeline Westen:
I've been sitting here for hours.

FBI Agent Callahan:
Yes, you have.

Madeline Westen:
Are you going to charge me with something?

FBI Agent Callahan:
Me? No. I'm off the case.

Madeline Westen:
What are you talking about?

FBI Agent Callahan:
I'm off the case.

Madeline Westen:
Where's my son?

FBI Agent Callahan:
Honestly, I've no idea. Know, we had him in custody for about 20 minutes, and then he was taken away.

Madeline Westen:
[gets up] He was here? You had him here?

FBI Agent Callahan:
That's right. And God only knows what hole he's in now.

[Fade to black, to a man in shackles and a black hood taken in the rain into a quadruple security-gated facility under armed guard, then fade back to the FBI]

Madeline Westen:
What's that supposed to mean? He just disappeared?

FBI Agent Callahan:
Pretty much. I mean, before, I could have gone through official channels, but once someone is removed from our custody, there is nothing I can do. And that is *your* choice.

Madeline Westen:
You had him and you let somebody *take him*!

Madeline Westen:
[slaps him, twice, and grabs him by the tie] You did! You let somebody take him!

FBI Agent Callahan:
[gets her against a wall] You hit me all you want, it won't change a thing! He is gone!

[Fade out and back to the unknown facility. The hooded man, shackled and chained, is marched down a hall and around a corner by two guards. Fade out and back to FBI as Callahan opens door]

FBI Agent Callahan:
[holding door open, gestures] You can go.

Madeline Westen:
[softly] How do I find my son?

FBI Agent Callahan:
I've no idea.

[Callahan exits. Fade back to prisoner who is stopped, uncuffed, and unshackled. Finally, his hood is removed. It's Michael Westen. The guards exit. After a moment, he opens his eyes and, moving only his eyes, takes in his surroundings. He's seated in a comfortably furnished drawing room]
