Suddenly

All right, one last card... 9 of clubs.

Uh... I'm all in, 80 bucks.

I fold.

You're a shit liar, Tod.

Am I?

You got something, but it's not much.

Just play the hand!

80?

Call it.

I got uh... kings with a deuce.

Kings, 10 kicker.

Time to say goodnight!

No, no, no... I'm not leaving.

Bullshit!

You don't have any money.

So somebody give me a loan!

Fuck you!

What do you mean fuck you?

Gimme... gimme a loan!

I'm good for it.

Time to go home, Tod.

Just give me a fucking break, just give me...

just give me a loan.

Hey, don't embarrass yourself.

Get the fuck out of my fucking face!

I don't care how big you are.

This from the war hero.

Oh fuck...

You little shit,

I know it's you Pidge!

Bastard!

Thank you, Laura.

Tod, hey... have you seen Pidge?

Isn't he in school?

I know, he ran off.

He refuses to go and the principal said

one more absent and she's gonna suspend him.

Does he know that?

Of course.

I... I'll find him.

I love him but he is driving me crazy and...

you're the only one that he listens to.

Yeah... no, I'll keep an eye out.

Thank you.

Ellen?

Yeah?

You look really good, by the way...

Bye Tod.

Hey Dad.

You find Pidge?

I refuse to spend my day looking for him,

it's exactly what he wants.

Sounds familiar.

He'll come home when he's hungry.

Uh Ellen, I... I found those.

Dad, don't start.

I like Tod.

Uh huh, and what about Mike?

Well...

Exactly, no comment.

Look, I know it's a difficult situation.

Dad, it's just... it's too soon.

Geez, it's been five years!

You know we... I mean, we make better friends.

Well, it's gotta start somewhere.

Mmm hmm... just like it did with you and Mom?

Look, your mother and I is a far different situation.

Well, hey... I learn from example.

Ellen I live here, I see what's going on...

Pidge needs a father figure.

And that's exactly why he has you, Dad.

Oh come on Ellen, be reasonable.

Hey, how about a little privacy?

Clean it up.

Tod, Tod!

We're being invaded!

Pidge, where were you?

Your mom's been looking all over for you!

There was a military helicopter flying over the woods!

How far do you think you're gonna get in life

just screwing around all day?

Huh?

I don't know... there's guys in the woods!

Did you hear what I said?

Stop joking around!

You know, the school doesn't want you back,

you got your mom worried about you,

you don't do as you're told...

what do you think your dad would say

if he was with us still?

Well, I...

The stories are getting old, Pidge!

Stop.

Come on...

But...

Just, go home.

What are they doing here?

Go... go home.

Hey, can I help you?

Is there a place we can talk, Deputy?

Who's asking?

Where's your supervisor?

Sheriff Grant,

this is Agent Carney with the Secret Service.

How you doing?

Good.

Nice to see you.

So, what have we got, the president coming through?

I'm not at liberty to say, but yes.

No shit, the president?

Well as it turns out you have a world class hunting lodge,

up in Wilton Mountain.

The president requested some R and R and lucky,

or unlucky for you, your town seems to be on route.

He'd like to have a bit to eat,

maybe take advantage of a publicity op.

Right here in Suddenly?

I know it's a big hassle.

Hey, no problem at all!

Anything we can do to help.

Fantastic.

So far so good, it's just like the prelim team laid it out...

everything's going to plan like clockwork.

Teller's been good.

Everything's gonna go smooth, right?

Hey... did you hear me?

Everything's gonna be all right, right?

Everything will be fine.

Probably our ground wire hang on!

Dad, just... would you call Judd

before you electrocute yourself?

It's a very easy job, it's just a matter of

white, white...

Geez!

Okay, that's it!

I am calling him.

Ellen, come on... I can fix this.

Dad, you knocked the power out.

Don't touch that!

Mom... Mom, guess what?

Pidge!

Where have you been?

What have I told you?

There's Secret Service everywhere,

the president's coming to town.

You are supposed to be in school.

Did you hear what I just said?

Judd, hi it's... it's Ellen.

Just a second, I'm on the phone.

I swear, the president's coming to Suddenly.

Judd sorry, I couldn't hear you.

Yeah, isn't that crazy?

The president's coming.

Look uh, Judd... Dad is playing handyman,

could you come over?

Great.

Yeah, told you.

You're still in trouble, Mister!

Let's see here... One, two, three, four, five...

I'm sorry for the short notice but for security everything

has to run the 11th hour.

How many men do you have on, Sheriff?

I got Deputy Reid and two others, but they're off today.

Well get them on, state police have five cars on the road

they'll control the highway and the main roads.

Lancer will arrive at approximately 19:30,

we're gonna park him over in that vacant lot.

I got accounted snipers in the surrounding buildings...

strictly no one in this zone from here on, understood?

Gotcha.

Good, we'll start with the stores facing the street.

I want them closed and locked down by 17:00,

all houses around the vacant lot locked down.

Me and my people will take the residences,

you and your team take the businesses.

Did you consult with the mayor about this?

I don't do that.

All right, well I'll leave you with Tod.

He'll take you on the tour.

I appreciate your cooperation.

Enjoy the weather, fellas.

Thank you.

Thanks Tod.

Who lives up there?

Pete Howard and his daughter.

It's quite the view.

Excuse me.

Hey-

You have a way with timing... where are you calling from?

Uh, from home.

The power's out and it's just a long story

and my battery might die, so if I lose you...

I won't think that you hung up on me.

Look, Tod... I, I am calling for a reason.

Have you heard this thing about the president?

Yeah, but don't get too excited.

So it's... it's true, I mean...

you think we could meet him?

I can't talk now... um, there's probably gonna be

some Secret Service guys coming up to check out your house.
