His search has depleted his life savings, and made him a laughing stock in academic society. But he has finally found hard evidence giving him the location of an island where he will find a centuries-old, dead-and-buried coven of witches. Before he can even leave for the island, devious individuals who want the Coven for themselves try to stop him. Marcus cons a group of hard-core mercenaries into joining him for protection, with promises of an easy gig and easy money. Not long after arriving, Marcus and his team are assaulted by a group of soldiers intent on getting to the Coven first. The action builds through firefights all over the island, followed by an even more disturbing revelation... have the witches been revived...?

When he starts getting obsessed with this revenge scheme, Amanda disapproves, but Dave tells her that he has just one more idea on how to teach him a lesson.

Quotes:

Charlie Croker: You've got no imagination. You couldn't even decide what to do with all that money, so you had to buy what everybody else wanted.::Steve: Try this on your imagination, okay. That gold is already gone.

Lyle: I am The Napster.

[Lyle isn't answering Charlie's calls]::Handsome Rob: He only answers to "The Napster" now, Charlie::Charlie Croker: Oh, no. I am not calling you The Napster.::Lyle: Why not? You call him Left Ear.::Left Ear: Well, I am.::Lyle: And him Handsome Rob.::Charlie Croker: Well, that's because he is Handsome Rob!::Lyle: Well you can call me The Napster.

[timing the getaway to Union Station]::Handsome Rob: It's either bad traffic, peak traffic, slit-your-wrist traffic... you know, five people died from smoking in between traffic lights today.::Left Ear: You know, they do have the Metrorail, Rob, you could always use that.::Handsome Rob: Yeah, that'd be ideal for carrying a ton of gold now, wouldn't it, genius?::Charlie Croker: What's your guesstimate?::Handsome Rob: The last twenty times I done this journey, you've got an average of thirty two minutes and a top time of fifty, but if we had green lights all the way, we could do it in fourteen minutes.::Stella: [poking fun] What? Couldn't get through traffic?

[Lyle arrives on his motorcycle. He has trouble on the bike, though]::Charlie Croker: That's Lyle. He's my computer genius. You know he's who really invented Napster? At least that's how Lyle tells it. Said Shawn Fanning was his roommate in college and stole his idea.

[Flashback to present]::Charlie Croker: Lost the hearing in his right ear. He's been blowing stuff up ever since.::[a car zooms in from behind Charlie and Stella]::Charlie Croker: Handsome Rob. Premier wheel man. Once drove all the way from Los Angeles just so he could set the record for longest freeway chase. [Cuts to Rob being chased down the freeway by a massive armada of police cars] You know he got 110 love letters sent to his jail cell from women who saw him on the news? [We see two women hanging a banner on a bridge saying "We heart you, Rob."]

Lyle: And then he's just the media darling... He's on the cover of all the magazines, I should of been on the cover of Wired Magazine. You know what he said? He said he named it "Napster" because it was his nickname because of the nappy hair under the hat. But he, it's because I was NAPPING when he STOLE it from me! He didn't even graduate!::Handsome Rob: I think it's time to move on, don't you? They shut him down, I wish they would do the same to you.

Lyle: [typing into his computer] They are about to hit a major detour and be sent your way. [presses a button. A traffic light at one intersection turns green. Lyle then presses another button, turning the opposite light green. With both directions having greens, one car ends up sideswiping the back of another one. Lyle watches the crash, and says] Oops. [He presses a different button. Another light turns green. Two cars collide and pancake together, sliding into a parked car. Lyle types into his computer] You'll... never... shut down... the *real*... Napster. [At the traffic control center, the message "YOU'LL NEVER SHUT DOWN THE REAL NAPSTER" appears across all of the video monitor screens. The scene changes to various clips of gridlock across the city]

Left Ear: [observing the front gate to Steve's house. He sees guard dogs] Shit. [Speaks into his wire] This dude got dogs. I don't do dogs... I had a real bad experience, man.::Charlie Croker: [from their Netcom Cable van] What happened?::Left Ear: I had. A bad. Experience. Damn it. "I'm" deaf!

Quotes:

Miss Billow: I never thought a meringue pie could make so lovely a speech.

Gregory Vance: My dear lady, I seem to detect in you perspicacity only too rare these days.::Miss Billow: Mr. Vance, you astonish me.::Gregory Vance: At times madam, I astonish myself.

Gregory Vance: Gregory Vance, magnified briefly, by a kindly destiny, in a kindly land where... where greatness is within a people, not within a man; and where any man who calls himself great, is only looking at his shadow, from the shoulders of those who have lifted him up. Today, his own feet must carry him. Side by side we walk today, the big and the little, and, those we sometimes call: the down and out. A voter, by the name of Mr. Whittier, once spoke of that. Today, of all the weary year, a king of men am I. Today alike are great and small, the nameless and the known. My palace is the people's hall, the ballot box, my throne. Tomorrow, I will be quite forgotten - a bit of shadow glory, who, like the rest of you, left his mark only in a ballot box. But I will be no less a part of that total greatness because being even the least in a land where strength is so generous, is greatness in itself.
