In short, the guy they're after has seen the future, and the future is them. So to answer, yes he can be caught. Here we go again hmm-mm-mm...

But, wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. That was just the opening scene, and we walk back to the future from there.

This episode is about looking for answers: Why is David Hasselhoff so big in Germany, Painkiller Jane Vasco voiceovers. Good question, but then Europe sans-UK only seems to look for meaning in its classical music. "Answers don't always deliver satisfaction."

Wednesday 8:12 p.m.

PJ and a guy named Brian are happily, almost giddily for Jane, walking down a moody fog-filled street. At first I thought the guy, clean-shaven, was the shooter, but it wasn't due to the fact he was prettier. Brian is a reporter — and also the guy PJ kisses in the opening credits of every show. Vasco explains in a voiceover and in so many words that they've been going out just long enough where she can kiss him and leave him wide-eyed and blue-balled without any explanation. They do the Tom Cruise camera angle to make her look shorter than him. (Have I mentioned she's 5'11"? Because she is and I ... that's just ... and I want ...)

She promises to make it up to him - and then... well, I'm getting ahead of myself again.

As they walk it starts to rain and mindful of the high-quality leather they're wearing and with apparently limited options, they run into a bingo hall that looks like it's being run in a laundromat. The bingo was a funny (ha ha) absurd touch I liked - "Man Alive. Number 5. Two Fat Ladies. 88" Wait, two fat ladies are there.

Vasco says she has to go make sure she doesn't look like a drowned sewer rat and heads for the toilets. I don't know what kind of place this is, but there's a flock of stalls in there, more than in any airport bathroom I've ever seen. In stupefied amazement, Vasco notices an envelope taped to the mirror with her name on it. She pushes or kicks or peeks under all the stalls to see if anyone's around. Because of the aforementioned number of them, this takes a full 20 minutes of the show.

When she opens it up there's a small-sized DVD and a single sheet of note paper that reads, "3 of your team will die." Alriiighty then.

When Brian appeared in the picture, literally, was the point when I remembered what I had read in my newborn research on the show and its actors. Happy to be in my own world, there were quite a few things I felt I wasn't understanding about the world of Painkiller Jane and Kristanna Loken so I started reading around. Turns out the powers that be are running these episodes out of sequence. So it wasn't just my imagination talking when I thought, where the fuck did this guy come from?
