Hostage for MacGuffin | |
| 8 Million Ways to Die / int_42bc6d2b | comment |
Hostage for MacGuffin: Involving a woman with a Sawn-Off Shotgun duct-taped to her head, and Scudder threatening to burn up the drugs unless she's cut loose at once. This actually works (once he sets fire to a few kilos) but a Blast Out ensues anyway. | |

Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Downplayed by Sarah...she's a good person, but not sweetness and light she holds him responsible for getting her friend and fellow call girl Sunny killed. | |
