"A passive infrared detector would not be the best choice" "Under which of the following conditions" "A, overhead doors," "B, significant changes in temperature, c..." "B. Why don't you bug Piz for a while?" "So, Piz, what are you studying?" "Apollo..." "Bukenya." "Yeah, he actually goes to Hearst, and he wrote this, uh, memoir, I guess you'd call it." "What could a college kid possibly have" "To put in a memoir?" "surviving spring break on 10 bucks a day?" "He was a child soldier in Uganda." "He never knew his father." "The rebel army put a gun in his hand when he was 6 years old." "Oh." "Somehow he managed to escape as a teenager" "And get to the states." "I'm interviewing him on my radio show tomorrow, and I'm just prepping." "The book's already been optioned as a movie" "Middle six figures." "Plus, he's been booked on Oprah," "But Piz got him first." "What?" "It's just so refreshing to hear" "One of your gentleman callers have more to talk about" "Than how high the waves are breaking." "Hello, hello?" "Uh oh." "What?" "Dad likes you?" "Kiss of death?" "What was the address?" "Two of them?" "We've just had our seventh home burglary" "In the past 13 days." "Seventh." "That's what the papers begin referring to as a crime wave." "In six of the seven," "The burglars have also stolen cars from the residences." "All the burglaries occurred in our favorite zip code." "As you know, the residents..." "are an impatient lot." "Now, the one car we recovered" "Had switched plates with a car in a supermarket parking lot."

"What I have to live with today is the knowledge that," "When my abductors coaxed" "Or rather, brainwashed me into an instrument of violence," "I was left with not just the ability," "But the appetite to kill." "My guest is Apollo Bukenya," "A Hearst student" "Who miraculously escaped the LRA in Uganda." "Apollo, you dedicate "Soldier of misfortune"" "To your adviser here at Hearst," "Professor Lisa Tonin, who is here with us." "I owe her a great deal of gratitude." "There would be no book without her." "I understand she knew you before you came to Hearst." "She did." "She actually read a short story I wrote when I was 15" "And called me." "She's been my friend and mentor ever since." "Professor Tonin?" "Well, of course, I'm flattered," "But the truth is that Apollo has taught me" "Much more than I have taught him." "Ahh." "You realize you're the radio host version" "Of a rock star, right?" "I don't know what the groupie procedure is for this scenario," "But I might have to throw my panties at you."

"Steal a dna sample from Apollo?" "Kizza doesn't want me to steal anything." "He doesn't even want Apollo told about the possibility" "Until he's more certain they're father and son." "So how are you supposed to prove it?" "He e mailed me a pdf of a letter he has" "From a woman he claims is Apollo's mother." "So if I can get a look at anything Apollo might have" "With his mom's handwriting" "Maybe you can make miracles happen." "So, how does it feel to be a professional detective?" "Great." "Know how much I'm making on my first professional case?" "Nada." "He's scraped just enough together" "For a cheap plane ticket if the news is good." "He had to e mail me the letter from a kinko's." "I have to wait on his calls from the pay phone" "In his New York boardinghouse." "Yeah, that's not a guy looking for a payday." "Tell your roommate I came by" "Hoping to kill time between classes," "Getting to second base, then left unsatisfied." "He's a good guy, Veronica." "Try not to rip out his heart." "Tommy, I'm curious." "How is it that you found yourself" "In possession of jewelry reported stolen" "From two separate homes?" "The owner of Brody's pawn" "Said you were quite anxious to unload said merchandise." "Don't answer that." "Can you tell me where you were two nights ago" "Between 9:00 and 11:00?" "Don't answer that." "I was so fond of you when I was a private detective." "Then I hope you'll understand why you shouldn't expect my vote in the upcoming election?" "The break-ins were professional jobs" "Topflight security systems disabled." "Try not to be offended, Tommy, when I suggest" "That perhaps you are not the leader of the crew." "You mind telling me who is?" "Why don't you just put me back in my cell," "Let me know when the bail Bondsman gets here?" "Anxious to get back to the River Styx, Tommy?" "Mr. Shaw here works with the Fitzpatricks." "I got what I needed." "Deputy, take our friend back to the cell he enjoys so much." "Hi, Apollo?" "Um, I'm Veronica Mars." "I'm a reporter for the Hearst Free Press." "We met at your radio interview," "And I'm hoping to do a story on you, too." "You wrote the book" "So people would know what's happening there." "I know." "Sure." "I've got some time later today." "Does that work for you?" "Mm hmm." "My point is that white flour is essentially poison." "You'll see." "Couple weeks, you'll be home eating with us." "You'll feel like a new person." "I rely pretty heavily on my morning bagel." "Which is exactly why you need to be without it." "Oh, and I was able to pull a few strings and get you" "That job in the mailroom I was telling you about." "Parker." "Elbows." "It's only for a few weeks but it's enough for you to make some spending money" "Before we leave for your aunt louise's." "Thanks, dad, but I was thinking of looking for a job," "Like, at a daycare or something." "So you can spend the summer with a cold" "And ruin everyone's vacation?" "I don't think so." "So, Logan, what sort of career are you pursuing?" " Oh, sorry." "Were you about to..." " Yeah." "Apollo, you've got a visitor." "Hi." "Come in." "Take a seat." "Oh!" "Please don't lead your story" "On how I like to play Grand Theft Auto." "Make me sound less frivolous." "Sometimes we'd be sent on waves where the tactic was to overpower our enemies" "Through sheer weight of numbers." "We were divided into two units" "And given drugs to ready us to fight." "I would make myself vomit up the drugs," "Then convince the two leaders" "I was going to be in the other's unit." "Instead, I'd hide in the bush" "And blend in with the returning fighters." "To stay alive, one had to think quickly." "What's that survivor slogan?" "Outwit, outplay, outlast?" "I was a survivor." "Now, Veronica, did you have more questions?" "Um..." "Uh..." "Let's talk about the days before your conscription." "I really think they liked me." "Yeah, I don't really think" "You survived the googling." "Is it wrong that I'd rather be trampled by horses" "Than spend the summer with my parents?" "No, the horses are a much better option." "what else am I gonna do?" "I didn't sign up for classes or request any summer housing." "You could stay here." "I'm sorry." "I'm a little stunned." "That is so sweet." "It's just moving in, that's kind of a big step." "Oh, I meant you could stay here." "I'll be gone most of the summer," "So you'd have the whole place to yourself." "Where are you going?" "Going to South America to surf with Dick." "For the whole summer?" "You were going home to Denver." "Yeah, which is a two hour flight from here." "I thought we'd see each other." "I'm sorry." "I've been planning this thing with Dick for a while." "I don't understand where we're at if you're not gonna see me for three months and that's cool with you." "It's not cool with me." "I just didn't think about it." "It's a surf trip, Parker." "It has nothing to do with us." "The day I was kidnapped," "My mother couldn't really put up a fight for me" "Without risking others' lives." "But later that night, she came to the camp" "To beg my captors to give me back to her." "I wasn't there." "This is just what my best friend, James, told me." "And when they saw that James knew my mother," "They made him shoot her." "I'm so sorry." "Do you have anything from her" "Pictures, personal items, mementos?" "The day I was captured," "My mother sent me to the market." "I carried the shopping list in my pocket for years." "Do you still have it?" "Do you mind if I move into better light?" "A perfect match." "You're sure this doesn't bother you to talk about?" "Positive." "Logan's going surfing in South America, for the whole summer." "Never mentioned it." "The whole summer." "What is that?" "Is that how he is," "Or is that just how he is with me?" "It's kind of just... how he is." "Why is that not more comforting?" "So, Mac's not around to talk about this stuff?" "Mac's fallen into the black hole of new love." "She only comes up for air." "How you guys doing?" "I'm wearing a different shirt, just so you know." " Uh huh." " Keep it." "I have to, have to, have to" "Go to my morning classes tomorrow." "Getting lost in the sex nap eat repeat loop." "I'm in the porn version of Groundhog Day." "Poundhog day?" "When's the last time you went to class?" "Uh, february." "Are you kidding?" "Business has been booming." "My classes have kind of fallen by the wayside." "So now begins the 11th hour cram session." "No, no, no, no, no, I'm done." "The countdown to my expulsion has begun." "Frankly, it's liberating." "You were just waiting for me to start pulling out books?" "No, I'm just browsing." "Boning up on your south american culture?" "Conversational portuguese, perhaps?" "If you're gonna be that close to Rio..." "How do you know about my trip?" "Parker mentioned it." "Did my fan club meet today?" "Thought you guys only met on wednesdays." "Look, she was bummed you didn't tell her about the trip." "And you took turns sticking pins in your Logan dolls?" "No, I told her that's just how you are." "Crack her open." "We're celebrating." "I was offered another internship." "People are just falling all over themselves to not pay you." "It's a good feeling." "So, this one is at a radio station" "Krac, right here in Neptune." "All right." "It's not glamorous as the Pitchfork gig," "And it's top 40, which makes my parts hurt," "But it's radio." "I don't know." "Pitchfork is music I'm into." "It's New York, which is good and bad." "What do you want to end up doing," "Like, in the long run?" "I want to be in radio." "Then you should take whatever internship will get you there." "Hello?" "Kizza, good news." "Can you catch the red eye?" "Hi, Apollo, it's Veronica." "I've got something else I need to talk to you about." "Yeah, Veronica, glad you called." "I wanted to talk to you, too." "Could you come meet me at the library?" "Sheriff Mars, as I live and breath." "Liam." "Thanks for stopping by." "Well, the deputy you sent asked so politely." "Please take a seat." "Okay." "Looks good." "I had one of your boys in here earlier Tommy Shaw." "He was trying to unload goods" "Stolen from this string of burglaries." "How is Tommy doing these days?" "I don't think I've seen that boy" "Since his mother's wake back in '05." "You're working on a third strike, Liam." "You might consider quitting while you're ahead." "Keith, we both know my trip down here" "Wouldn't have been voluntary if you had anything." "Nothing yet," "But I'm gonna keep picking off your flunkies." "Eventually, one of them" "Is gonna trade me 10 years for your name." "And a word of caution" "Don Lamb's no longer in charge here." "You speaking ill of the dead, Keith?" "Wow, 'cause, from what I understand," "This crime wave doesn't let up," "You won't be in charge long either." "Course, maybe these robberies will stop" "If I find out what happened to Kendall Casablancas" "And my money." "Kendall's dead, and I suspect your brother buried her" "In a shallow grave in the desert." "As for the money, it was never yours." "Wouldn't bother unpacking." "Veronica, glad you can make it." "There's someone I want you to meet." "This is Wilson Behan, editor of the Free Press." "He requested an interview." "Hey, Veronica." "I don't remember assigning you to do a story on Apollo." "Well..." "I'm gonna let you two sort this out." "All right, I wasn't assigned to you by the school paper." "The truth is, I work as a private investigator," "And I was hired by a man who believes he's your father." "Who is he?" "His name is Kizza Oneko." "He had this." "It's a letter telling Kizza" "To take an opportunity To leave Uganda for America." "The war had separated them." "Kizza says he left" "Not knowing your mother was pregnant." "Recognize the handwriting?" "The grocery list I showed you" "My hometown paper printed it." "This Kizza person simply forged this." "We'll prove his paternity one way or the other" "With a blood test." "No, we won't." "It's not the ethics of what Max is doing that bothers me." "At least I can rationalize that away," "'Cause I had it filed away in my head" "As a college lark," "A unique way for a philosophy major to make some extra cash." "In its own way, it showed all these qualities I admire." "He's dedicated, he's got a keen business sense," "And, let's face it, he's good at what he does." "Helps people cheat." "Yeah, that." "But today, when he said he was flunking out of school and he didn't care he was just gonna get an off-campus apartment next year, and keep doing what he does," "It was like looking into a crystal ball," "And I didn't like what I saw." "What did you see?" "Me falling completely in love with him," "Losing all reason, ending up hosting candle parties" "And selling family heirlooms on ebay." "I have the potential to go down that road." "No, you don't." "I do." "Love makes me lazy." "It's a dangerous drug." "Kills more brain cells than crystal meth." "How'your cell count these days?" "Hmm, I can still do long division," "But I can't quite remember all the continents." "So Pizneyland is the happiest place on earth?" "Happy enough." "There's no roller coaster," "But I think I can do without the adrenaline and nausea." "Hi, it's Veronica Mars." "I'm trying to track down Apollo." "I've left several messages on his cellphone." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Yeah, he hasn't been around." "Any idea where he might be?" "Olympia's, maybe?" "You know who might know is Zeke Molinda." "He's one of the guys from the African Student Alliance." "Oh, wait, you know what?" "I don't think they're even speaking anymore." "They had some sort of falling out." "Uh, have you checked with dr." "Tonin?" "I mean, she's practically his mum." "That'll get me started." "Thanks." "Bye." "You must be Kizza." "Yes, uh, I'm looking for detective Mars." "I'm detective Mars." "You're just a girl." "You're a teenager." "A girl, a teenager, and a private detective." "I'm a triple threat." "Barely fits on my business card." "You are the person who's arranging a meeting with my son?" "I am." "Unfortunately, your son isn't as available" "As I thought he would be." "I'm having a little trouble locating him right now," "But I have several leads." "We've been pretty vocal supporters" "Of your candidacy, Keith." "It's becoming more difficult." "There are others at the homeowners association" "Suggesting we should bng in mr." "Van Lowe," "See what he's all about." "I appreciate the heads up, Carl." "I think we're on the right track," "But it may take some time." "The election's in two weeks." "You don't have time." "Here's the data you asked for, Keith." "What kind of home security system you got, Carl?" "Safehouse." "You might want to replace it." "Hey, can we talk for a second?" "I have a class." "I don't want to get into a whole thing." "There'no whole thing." "I want to talk to you about the surf trip." "Fine." "Kissing is cheating," "And what I don't know will hurt me." "You should come with me." "You want me to come to South America" "With you and Dick?" "I meant it when I said that I didn't think about" "Being away from you for three months." "Now I have." "I have to process things." "It's just what I'm like." "Oh, my god!" "Olympia, you wouldn't happen to know" "Where I might find Apollo?" "I know he's avoiding you." "Veronica, I think he should meet the guy, get tested." "If I see him again, I'll keep working on him." "I wish I could help you." "To tell you the truth, I'm starting to worry about him." "Will you let me know if you find him?" "Hi, Zeke?" "Yes." "I'm Veronica." "I'm trying to find Apollo Bukenya." "You're looking in the wrong place." "We don't talk anymore." "I heard." "This is kind of last ditch." "Sorry to bother you." "What do you need him for?" "I'm doing a story on him." "In that case, I've got your lead." "He didn't write "Soldier of misfortune"." "His adviser did." "He knows it, and he knows I know it." "So Apollo told his adviser the story of his life," "And she wrote the book?" "Not exactly." "The stories in Apollo's book are true for many others." "They simply didn't happen to him." "He was never conscripted." "Zeke was Apollo's roommate freshman year." "He says Apollo told him all about his life," "But until "Soldier of misfortune" came out," "Never included anything" "About being a child soldier in the LRA." "So what should I do?" "I don't know." "Nothing?" "I'm serious, Veronica." "It's a fact that there are child soldiers in Africa." "There's this organization, Invisible Children," "That sends volunteers over to Uganda" "To help protect the kids there." "They have a booth up at the job fair." "There was a crowd around it today about five people deep." "I think I'm missing the point." "Everyone is there because of Apollo's book." "If you expose his book as a hoax," "I promise you'll be killing a lot more" "Than his literary career." "Hello?" "Veronica, hi, it's Olympia." "I just saw Apollo." "He's heading back to his room." "I think he's ready to talk." "No." "No!" "Are you kidding me?" "What about the first check?" "But I've already..." "So they're just gonna pull the plug, just like that?" "Fine, fine." "I have lawyers, too." "Sorry." "Is this a bad time?" "No." "No, now is fine." "Just give me a second to take my laundry out of the machine" "Before someone steals it." "I can wait." "Pull the plug, lawyers, checks?" "To whom, pray tell, was the young mr." "Bukenya speaking?" "Hit redial." "Silver Pictures." "Looks like "Soldier of misfortune"" "Won't be coming to a theater near you." "This man who claims to be my father" "Olympia convinced me." "I want to meet him." "I'll take the blood test." "I'll arrange it." "Hello, son." "Dad?" "What, they just let you in my room?" "Well, I am paying for it, after all." "Really?" "I thought hundreds of saps who invested in your company" "Were paying for it." "I feel better about myself already." "I, uh..." "I turned myself in." "My lawyer made all the arrangements." "I have a couple months before my incarceration." "Tired of running, Dick." "I want to pay my debt to society and get it over with." "And what kind of debt did your lawyer negotiate?" "A year." "That's exactly what this biker I went to high school with got" "For stealing the huntington's lawn jockey." "It's good to be the king, huh?" "I'll consider our societal flaws" "During my yard time in the big house." "I turn myself in at the end of august." "At least we have a few months before then." "I've rented a room a couple floors down." "I want to spend as much time as possible with you." "I'm gonna be gone most of the summer." "I'm going on this surf trip." "Surf trip?" "I'm going to jail, Dick." "I know." "I'm sorry." "I just" "This is the only chance you have to be with your father," "And you're talking about a surf trip?" "!" "Silver pictures?" "What is silver pictures?" "It's a company that makes movies." "My point is, there's not going to be a movie" "Of "Soldier of misfortune"." "There's not going to be a big check." "I suspect Oprah may tear Apollo a new one on national tv." "What does Oprah have to do with..." "Mr. Oneko, if you tracked down Apollo" "In hopes of finding financial security," "I'm urging you to simply walk away." "He needs people around him who care about him." "If that's not you, I can't let..." "Miss Mars, had it not been for the war," "I never would have left Uganda." "I came to New York," "A place where I had no friends, no family," "As a means of survival." "I'm still alive," "But I've been alone for 21 years." "I drive a cab." "I go to school," "But I am lonely." "If this is my son, please let me be there" "To comfort him in this difficult time." "I don't think he's coming." "He'll be here." "You ever notice how the stained wood around the window" "Has the effect of shrinking the space?" "I'm thinking something more of an eggshell," "Would really open it up in here." "I should probably write that down." "Anyway, what can I do for you, Keith?" "I don't suppose, Vinnie, you've noticed," "But there's a criminal element in town" "That would really love to see you as Sheriff." "Oh, what can I say?" "I'm a walking big 10 party." "Must be why the girls from the secretarial pool" "Gave me that nickname." "What do you know about Safehouse Security Systems?" "Hey, Sacksy," "Mind running out and getting a latte?" "I can have him get you something, as well." "Safehouse?" "Yeah, I did some consulting work for them." "You did." "Did you know that all seven homes that have been burglarized" "Subscribe to safehouse?" "Quite a co-inkydink." "You and the Fitzpatricks" "Are the prime beneficiaries of those robberies." "I think you're colluding with them." "Well, Keith, you are certainly entitled to your theory." "Question is..." "Can you prove it?" "It's been an hour." "I'm so sorry, Apollo." "Sorry for what?" "I expect nothing, so I'm rarely disappointed." "So, did you tell this Kizza person that I'm a fraud?" "And that I won't be coming into money" "As all the articles say?" "I told him there was that possibility." "Good." "Thank you." "You did your part." "What do you mean, my part?" ""Soldier of misfortune"." "The story is mine." "I wrote every word of it." "I needed to know whether this Kizza gentleman would show" "Regardless of my stature and financial situation." "So, everything I told him was..." "Disinformation," "A plan to separate those I can trust" "From those I can't" "A plan like so many others." "Zeke is actually a very good friend of mine." "Take care." "Mars Investigations." "So Veronica, why is there a detainee in my jail," "Named Kizza Oneko" "Who asks for his one phone call to be made to you?" "Apollo, wait." "Why is he being detained?" "He was picked up driving a rental, With plates from a stolen car." "Apollo." "Mr. Oneko," "I'm happy we have this chance to meet." "As am I." "Overjoyed, in fact." "I'm not surprised your mother named you" "For the god of music." "She had a book of mythology that she treasured." "I..." "I remember it well." "It..." "It is the book she used to teach me how to read." "Father?" "Would you like to hear about your mother" "As the young girl that I fell in love with?" "You sure you want to do this?" "It's quite a commitment, and Africa's a long way away." "I'm positive." "Okay." "I come with tales from the outside world." "Hey!" "Oh, and, um, I brought these for you." "I was passing through the job fair," "And, um, apparently, there are careers" "That a philosophy degree prepares you for," "So just thought I'd grab them, just in case." "I guess we need to talk about this, huh?" "Yeah, maybe." "Here's the thing." "I make about $1,500 a week doing something I like." "I'm gonna be doing this for a while." "Not forever, but for a while." "I hope that doesn't change things for you." "I wish that it didn't, but it kind of does." "Well, that sucks." "Yeah, but I'm not sure how much it changes things." "I want us to keep seeing each other." "Well, great." "Just can't do the blissful love shack thing anymore." "I need to get back to my regularly scheduled life." "Is that cool?" "So, do you have to get back to reality now or..." "No." "No, I got a couple hours." "Good." "Son?" "Just so you know," "The world doesn't stop because you decided to show up." "Had I known it was interfering with your surfing schedule," "I would have come sooner." "Like maybe for Cassidy's funeral?" "This is where he died, you know?" "I walk by the spot he splattered on every day." "You think I'm not sorry about Cassidy?" "What are you sorry for, dad?" "That he's dead?" "Of course." "You ever think he's dead because of us, or that he killed those people because of us?" "!" "Son..." "We used to have contests to see which one of us could make him cry!" "I can barely live with myself sometimes," "And it's so much easier when you're not around!" "Hey, listen, about our summer plans," "I know you're gonna think this is uncool, but I kind of broke down and" "I can't go." "What?" "Yeah, the trip's not gonna happen" "My dad's back," "Wants me to spend time with him before he goes to jail." "I get it, man." "Sorry for screwing up your summer,ou know?" "Hey!" "I was just gonna call you." "I told my parents." "They freaked out." "It was the best feeling." "What's wrong?" "The trip's off." "Dick's dad came back into town," "And now he can't go, so..." "Oh." "So..." "I guess we're not going, then?" "He was footing half the bill for the house," "And it'd just be really expensive." "And it was a thing me and Dick were planning on together." "I understand." "Yeah." "I guess I'm going to Denver then." "Dad, check this out." "I'm Vincent Vanlowe." "Aw, no." "I was born in Neptune." "I live in Neptune." "My friends and family live in Neptune."
