A narrator introduces several characters as we watch events unfold from various vantages: Vanya is a Yugoslavian, adrift after his country's breakup. He's a hitman, now in New York. Anna is a physician, European, in New York after volunteer work in Bosnia. Dirk is a policeman, Anna's boyfriend, seemingly on temporary leave. Vanya's on what's to be a simple job, no violence, an exchange in a hotel. He arrives to find a dead body. He takes the case he's to pick up. Has he been set up? A murderer seems to be right behind him. Anna, in the hotel to see a patient, becomes his hostage while Dirk waits for her outside, ignorant of the deaths nearby. Can Dirk find Anna? What else is going on?

Dude, what the heck is up ...

Question: Dude, what the heck is up with Brothers & Sisters? Everything I hear about it seems to go from bad to worse.

Answer: Although I haven't seen the B&S pilot yet — I think ABC is (finally) sending it out later this week — I suspect the show will deliver in spite of all its troubles.

As Tiffany, Cox gives indifferent, gum-snapping receptionists a bad name — ironic, seeing as how her phone-interview manner is as friendly, if not frisky, as our own. TVGuide.com: So, are you ready for me?Jennifer Elise Cox: Yes, I'm completely ready! So excited! TVGuide.com: Oh, please.

Let's Give Prison Break's T-Bag a Hand

It was a funny thing when word spread that Robert Knepper would be visiting the TV Guide offices here. Because as much as people wanted to meet the Prison Break star, there's still that apprehension. He does play T-Bag, after all, the most morally corrupt of the Fox hit's escaped cons. But when all was said and done, Knepper was greeted by many, and had this to share about Prison Break's debut season gone by and T-Bag's vengeance-filled — and single-handed? — days ahead. TV Guide: What are they going to do about T-Bag's hand next season?Robert Knepper: I actually called my doctor in L.A.&nbsp
