Se7en
Hello, have you watched the movie Se7en (1995),directed by David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman?
One is what MO stands for in the above sentence.
The other is about the last conversation of the movie, which is between Police Captain (by R. Lee Ermey) and Detective Lt. William Somerset (by Morgan Freeman). After the police car drives away Detective David Mills (by Brad Pitt), Police Captain asks Detective Lt. William Somerset:
"Where are you going?"
And Lt. Somerset replies:
"I will be around. I will always be around."
What does Mr. Somerset imply here? Is he going to retire or not? Does he mean that he won't retire and he will continue to fight with criminals and uphold justice?
Sorry that I can't remember the exact words of Lt. Somerset, but he says something to that effect.

- Somerset's last sentences probably mean that, though he may be retiring, he'll stay in the area if they should need his help.
