00:00The man waiting tonight isn't who he says he is. Rain hammered the empty street. A man stood
00:07beneath a dark doorway. 20 years, he whispered. He promised he'd come. A police officer stopped.
00:15You still waiting for your friend? The man smiled. Jimmy, we die for each other. The officer nodded
00:23and vanished into the fog. Minutes later, footsteps. Bob, a voice called. The man turned.
00:33Jimmy. They walked together. Then the stranger stepped into the light. Bob froze. The eyes
00:40weren't Jimmy's. A note appeared in his hand. I was the officer. I recognized you. I couldn't
00:48arrest my old friend. Bob's hands trembled. The stranger revealed a badge. I'm taking
00:55you in. And suddenly, the man waiting tonight wasn't who he said he was.
