Beck Comes Back

Episode begins with Beck being broken out of prison by a Megadeus. Then, Roger is hired by Mr. Wise, a rich industrialist, to negotiate for the return of his kidnapped son, Francis. After hanging up on the kidnappers, Roger is fired by Wise, only to be rehired when the ransom is paid and his son is not returned. The kidnappers call back, recognize Roger's voice and agree to return the son if Roger brings the ransom. Roger finds Francis at the cabin he was directed to, but the police arrive believing that Roger was the kidnapper. This was a setup by the real kidnapper, Beck, to get revenge on Roger (see Roger The Negotiator and Dorothy Dorothy). Roger escapes and goes back to Wise. Wise reveals that Francis is a bastard, fathered by Wise with a woman he met soon after the Event. The kidnappers know this and blackmailed the industrialist with the information for money and equipment. Tracking the shipments to a warehouse, Roger discovers Beck there.
