Clip 4

Pam: Hello?
Mahone: Pam, it's me.

P:  Cam's napping. 

M: Yeah?  How's he doing?

P: Good, it was his first day back at school.

M: That's great.

P: Where are you?

M: Um, I'm, uh, out of the country.

P: Is everything all right?

M: Remember how I always said that the day would come and I'd be done?  Leave the Bureau and never look back?

P: Yes.

M: Today's that day.  I have one more thing to do, and once I do it, everything is going
to fall into place.  And I, I'll be done.

P: I hope you mean it.

M: Pam, if-if, if I didn't have this job hanging over me anymore, if I were free, if I were free...

P: Alex...

M: I need to know.

P: I'm not saying no.

M: I will make this right, I swear to God.  And you and me and Cam...

P: I-I have to go.

M: I never stopped loving you, Pam, ever.

P: Just be safe, Alex.
