Previously on All Rise... Gloria Hernandez, residential burglary, grand theft, gun possession. She's a real peach. My sister is all that matters. When our parents died, the only thing I had left was my sister and skating. Could I ask a favor? - Yeah. - Could you keep an eye - on Maddie for me? - Absolutely. - Lola. - Dre. Andre is your Dre, love of your life from college, Dre. Andre Armstrong is in town. Do you even remember him? I remember he was a damn fool. I can't remember the last time deliberations for a murder trial came back this fast. Yeah, that's usually not a great sign, for my clients, anyway. - elevator clattering - bell dings That's not great either. Emily sighs I'm glad it got glowing reviews from your coworkers, but I needed to see the place first and I would appreciate being kept in the loop. I don't think that's an unreasonable request. Yeah. Robin, we will talk about this later. I've got to go. Bye. My husband has an annoying habit of making important life decisions without me. You're still struggling to find childcare? Not anymore, apparently. Sounds like Robin found Bailey a daycare and dropped her off this morning with complete strangers. Well, at least she's not going out on stakeouts with him anymore. He was joking about getting her a bulletproof vest and making her his full-time partner. At this point, I wouldn't put anything past that man. Well. Here is your updated calendar for the rest of the day. And I've just been notified the jury for the Placentia murder trial has reached a verdict. That was a quick. intriguing music Your Honor, how long do we plan to wait for counsel? whispering Sara and Miss Lopez are stuck in the elevator. The fire department is already working on it. Yo, can we just get this shit over with? Mr. Banks, language. Am I guilty or not? Just read the verdict. - We're here. - Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry. About time, Miss Lopez. Miss Lopez. Hello. Glad it all worked out. Our apologies, Your Honor. Back on the record, People v William Banks. Now that all parties are present and accounted for, let's resume. - Bailiff. - door creaks open - Has the jury reached a verdict? - We have, Your Honor. Thank you. Will the defendant please stand? The Superior Court of the People of California in the matter of the People v William Banks as to count one a violation... - I can't do this. - Yes, you can. Just take a deep eath. We, the jury in the above entitled action, find the defendant guilty. Mr. Banks, you're looking at life in prison. Is something about that amusing to you? Nah, I was just remembering the look on Stephanie's face when the life left her eyes. - That was pretty amusing. - Mr. Banks, that is enough. Bailiff. - Hey! Stop. Don't do that. - Get off me. - Order. Bailiff. - gavel banging - Hey! - I'm going to kill you. I promise you that. I promise you. Bailiff. Order. - Sara gasping - You okay, babe? - I'm gonna get somebody, okay? - Let me see. panting Okay, it's okay. It's okay. Sara gasping Oh! dramatic music ALL RISE Season 03 Episode 07 Episode Through the Fire Aired on: July 19, 2022. We've got to find someplace new. This feels sleazy. This is exciting it's like a spy movie. You'd make a terrible spy. You talk too much. That's why I'm a good prosecutor. True. God, today I felt like a referee. It was terrible. What the hell was that? I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing. Well, let's hope you never have to. Listen, do you want to come to the game with me and Amy tonight? I got an extra ticket. - Clippers or Lakers? - Neither, billionaires. - The who now? - L.A. Billionaires. New minor league team. - Oh, yeah. - The owner is a client at Amy's firm. - So, we get a sky box. - Nice. - Have you seen the new arena? - Nope. It is unbelievable. They got this buffet... I would love to come and have a drink or three with you and Amy, but I got to relieve Robin of daddy day care duty. Whatever. More wings for me, sucker. - Bye. - Bye! upbeat music I was there trying to put out the fire. Arson of a structure. They even threw in an enhancement for damaging multiple structures. I guess they were feeling generous. Man, listen, our encampment got raided by the police again, so I grabbed everything I could, and I made my way to the one under the 405. Before I got there, I could see the bonfires from blocks away, but it turns out they weren't bonfires. The entire damn encampment was on fire, so I ran over and tried to help. The swap test confirm that you were covered in the same accelerant that caused the blaze. That's not a good look. Do you have an explanation for that? No, I don't know, I... I... Everything happened so fast. I... Cyrus, you've got a good list of priors, but it's all low level, nonviolent. The one that sticks out is the strike for burglary. No, I didn't steal anything. I caught a case for taking back my property from a landlord who stole it from me. And they slapped me with two years. But I volunteered to help fight the wildfires. And they... well, I got out in one. So, this isn't your first time around a fire. tense music paper rustling Hi. How you feeling? Oh, like a million bucks. Are you hungry? Let me take you out for a bite. Thanks for the offer, but... between the taste of blood in my mouth and the crime scene photos on my desk, I don't really have much of an appetite. I'll just go on home. Sara sighs I hate that this happened to you. Yeah, well, if everyone were always nice to each other we wouldn't have jobs, would we? Sara sighs I'll call you tomorrow. Okay. phone buzzing Hello. - Miss Lopez. - Gloria. - Hi. What's going on? - Hey, um... by any chance, have you spoken with my sister Maddy? No, is something wrong? I haven't heard from her in a week. She hasn't called or visited even. - And that's not really like her. - Okay. Yeah. Tell me... Tell me what you need. I want you to help me find my sister. You said if I ever needed anything to reach out to you, so now I'm reaching out. Or is that just something you guys say - to make yourselves feel good? - Gloria. Just... Just take a eath, okay? Do you have any idea where she might be? She's probably at the mini mansion. - The mini mansion? - Yeah. Brandon Page's pad. The Internet guy? Why is she hanging out there? Okay, that is not important right now. I just need to make sure she's safe. Okay? Sighs - line beeping - Gloria? scoffs tense music Young guns, you know what day it is. Today is final day of the scavenger hunt challenge. So, have and your loot at the drop off point by 5:00 p.m., not a second later. Winners will be announced at noon tomorrow. Let's go. heavy rock music crowd chattering I can't believe that woman said no in front of 15,000 people on the fan cam. Proposals at sporting events are awful. I mean, who was the first idiot to think that was a good idea? I mean, women don't want to be subjected - to that kind of humiliation. - To be fair, I don't think she was the one who got humiliated. Exactly. Let that be a lesson. Maybe you guys will stop doing it. Whoa, you guys? My proposal was frickin' epic. Amy groans Speaking of men who've proposed to you, how's your husband doing? It sounds like his new meds have him feeling - a lot better. - That's great news. Hey, you know, it's too bad you didn't take him to a basketball game and serve him with his divorce papers - on the fan cam. - groans Don't do this. - Not tonight. - Trust me, no one is more tired of this conversation than I am. And I have tried to be empathetic, but, like, he's taking advantage of the situation. - Can we just call an Uber? - tires screeching - tires screeching - Look out! - body thuds - car crashes Hey, are you okay? Just... just lay still. - Hi, I just witnessed... - Mark. An accident, and somebody's been hit. Mark? Yeah, yeah, I'll hold. Holy shit. upbeat instrumental music Good morning, Your Honor. - This is for you. - Thank you. Dropping Bailey off at daycare, grabbing eakfast and getting to the office only took 45 minutes. - Can you believe that? - Wow. So, you're having a change of heart about Bailey's daycare situation. I have to admit, Robin was onto something. The daycare is gorgeous. I even had to sign an NDA because of all the cele ities that drop - the kids off there. - Like who? What about a non-disclosure agreement don't you understand? That's boring. They have vegan catering options. The kids are drinking artisanal fruit water. I grew up on juice boxes and baloney sandwiches. I don't need Bailey getting used to this lap of luxury. We can't afford it long term. It's $300 a day. Well, then you will be glad to know that I have put together a short but diverse list of childcare candidates for you and Robin to interview. Hmm. After the stenographers that you picked out, I'm not holding my eath. Um, ouch. - I can cancel. - I'm kidding. I appreciate you. I need you. I don't know what I would do without you. - That's more like it. - Thank you. My apologies. Rory Fires. - Luke Watkins. - And what do you have for me, - Mr. Watkins? - Straight to the point. I can appreciate that. Outside of loitering and trespassing in abandoned buildings to keep warm at night, the only thing that my client is guilty of is being homeless. He needs a warm meal and a roof over his head, not prison time. There is video footage of Mr. Calleja at the scene. His fingerprints were the only discernible ones found on the torch that was used to start the fire. - Does seem a bit dodgy. - You can't prove malice. We're talking about a few months in county - and some fines at worst. - He used a torch. I could very easily make a reasonable argument for aggravated arson. With his prior strike, you'd be looking at 20 years to life. Instead, the three-year minimum I would've offered is doubled with prior strike enhancements, so we find ourselves at six. I'll drop the rest of the charges, and if he's a good boy, he'll be out in three or four. - Come on, Rory. - He's a career criminal. Judge Marshal could very well impose a much stiffer sentence if this goes to trial and you lose, and you will lose, Mr. Watkins. Another strike would ruin his life. Split the difference, non-strike, PC 452. Maybe he'll learn to behave himself. Six years. All right, so, I got to ask, did the attorneys at Wayne County really call you the Grim Reaper because you never lost a case? The Grim Reaper moniker may be the by-product of an overly vivid imagination, I'm afraid. But it is true that I have never lost. Well, there's plenty of time to change that. And when my client beats these charges, I'll take you out for a beer. Pleasure meeting you, Mr. Watkins. I look forward to that pint, cheerio. exhales How was the game last night? Ugh, it was... chuckles How do you already know about last night? Because I got a call from the co-owner himself. - For what? - The guy behind the wheel was the mascot for his team. Only a matter of time before a civil suit comes their way. But before we worry about that lawsuit, he wants us to act as counsel for the same employee for the criminal case. If he wants us to double bill him, I'm fine with that. Why doesn't he just fire the kid to save face? Because that kid is his son. Of course it is. Scoffs Well, give it to one of the juniors. Are you too good to work a lowly DUI case now? You know I can't be anywhere near that case. I was a witness, but I will gladly represent myself on the assault charges coming if you don't get out of my office. - All right. - Buh-bye. both chuckling - Oh, Mr. Callan. - What's up, Teddy? I received this file from the CEU. There must be a mistake here. This felony DUI case has you listed as a witness. Yeah, that's not a mistake. Believe it or not, being a D.A. does not preclude me from witnessing some of the wonderful things that happen outside of this office. Right, but it should exclude the DA's office from trying this case. We should recuse ourselves and have the attorney general handle it. There's an obvious conflict of interest here, no? Small potatoes for the AG, Teddy. The size of the potatoes and ethics - aren't mutually exclusive. - Teddy, just shoot this guy a decent deal, throw another one up the win column, then move on to the next. Luckily, the pedestrian was not seriously hurt. Part of being a successful prosecutor... - Time management, okay? - Mr. Callan, while I would never second guess your judgment... Hold that thought. Hey. How are you holding up? I'm not sure what's worse. Being trapped in an elevator 88 stories off the ground, or climbing up 10 flights in heels. That sounds like a lose-lose. Sara, listen, I got to ask you something. I think I know the answer, but... do you want to press charges against Pascale Placentia? No. That family's been through enough. You sure? We can have the case transferred to another advocate. Mark, I'm fine. Okay? - Anything else? - Actually, yes. Um, Miss Placentia, she's in a bit of a bind after paying for Stephanie's burial and funeral costs. Is there any way we can expedite filing that paperwork - to get her reimbursed? - Yeah. I'll reach out to Ms. Placentia today. Okay. Also, they need assistance with crime scene cleanup services before they can move back into their house. So, ServePro is asking for files of the damage, if you can just send them those photos... - Yeah, yeah. Okay, I got it. - ...It can move forward. tense music engine humming akes squealing Before we begin today's hearing, I have to ask, Mr. Calleja, would you happen to be the son of Juan Antonio Calleja? Yes, I am. Your Honor. - Why? - Small world. I played basketball with AC. We were thick as thieves in high school. How's he doing? Antonio... passed away last year. I'm very sorry to hear that. Now, while I haven't seen you since you were a child, it's unfortunate that this reunion isn't under - better circumstances. - Rory clears his throat Your Honor, I'd like to inform you that the people have withdrawn the original offer and are looking to add supplementary charges. Objection. On what grounds? Overruled. - What... what does that mean? - That things just got a whole lot more complicated. We have received substantial evidence connecting Mr. Calleja to half a dozen more fires over the last two years. And since I'm new to this office, I wasn't made privy to these cold cases. Or hot cases, if you pardon the pun? Your Honor, we'd like a chance to review the new discovery. Outside of a few fingerprints and people claiming they saw a homeless man at homeless encampments, - do you have any real evidence? - We have eyewitness testimony of Mr. Calleja frequenting all of the targeted encampments. His fingerprints and his fingerprints alone were found on the torch, which was used to start the blaze under the 405. The evidence is irrefutable. There is no way that he could've done all of this, he was incarcerated. Not a single one of these fires occurred while Mr. Calleja was behind bars. Prosecution's motion is granted. - What? Your Honor. - Thank you, Your Honor. The amended charges are two counts of malicious arson causing great bodily injury and two counts for the arson of an inhabited structure. The People will be seeking the maximum for each. Why are you railroading my client? I wasn't finished, Mr. Watkins. Prior strike enhancement sees these penalties doubled for a total of 37 years and eight months. No, no, no. This is bullshit. I didn't do this. I swear on everything that I didn't do this. Watch your language, Mr. Calleja. Or I will hold you in contempt of court. Is that understood? Yes, Your Honor. dramatic music It's my understanding that both parties - have reached a plea agreement. - Yes, Your Honor. Since this is Mr. Dunham's first offense with relatively minor injuries, the People are charging this as a non strike felony DUI with minimum penalties. It does look like Mr. Dunham might've been on the receiving end of the worst of it. I won't ask you to stand. Mr. Dunham, do you understand that by pleading no contest, you are giving up your rights to a trial and all rights associated with a trial? Yes, Your Honor. The defendant has agreed to accept three years of summary probation, penalties totaling $5,000, a three-month court-approved alcohol education program and restitution to the injured party. Is that correct? Excuse the interruption, Your Honor. But I think we can come up with more favorable terms for Mr. Dunham. It's good to see you again, Judge Carmichael. Mr. Armstrong, I didn't see your name on my calendar. I was under the impression you were on a plane back to DC. If you returned my texts, you would've know that indistinct and his sources decided to make a last minute substitution. As one of the new faces of the firm, we thought it best if I personally oversee this case for our new high profile client... The Los Angeles Billionaires. If Mr. Biswas agrees to knock this down to a misdemeanor, with the required minimums, we can end this thing right now, And I'll still have time to make my flight. Absolutely not. I offered Mr. Dunham a reasonable deal, one significantly less than he would have received for putting someone in the hospital. Well, there you have it. I'll cancel my travel plans, and I look forward to working with both of you. Judge Carmichael, do you know Mr. Armstrong, like, personally? Is there something you're trying to imply? No, ma'am. I just... I just... - Because I... - Have a good day, Mr. Biswas. tense, jazzy music Captain Monroe, were you able to determine - the cause of the fire? - Yes. The blaze was intentionally set with a drip torch. Photos of said device, Your Honor, found at the crime scene and pre-marked as Prosecution Exhibit A. Captain, why is the use of a drip torch significant? You ever heard the expression, fight fire with fire? - I have. - Drip torches are used for control burns. Used improperly, they can be incredibly destructive. So, these fires are the work of an arsonist. - Objection. Leading. - Sustained. How would you categorize these fires? As the work of an arsonist. And who is it that typically employs the use of a drip torch? They're commonly used by Cal Fire crews during the wildfire season. Was Mr. Calleja employed as a member of the Cal Fire Inmate program? That is correct. No further questions. New Tooth by Rich Brian Yeah It's a simple question, you got it or not I been talking to God about the garage... music continues in background Hi. - Who are you? - Is this Brandon Page's place? If you want an autograph or a selfie, he posts all of his dates for his events online. But you can't be here. You got to kick rocks. Is there a Maddy Hernandez staying here? Look lady, I said beat feet. - Get out of here. - Leo, Leo. Come on. There's no need to talk to our guests like that. Look, I'm not going to say if she is or isn't. - What do you want with her? - You are aware that Maddy Hernandez is a sophomore in high school, right? Well, that's definitely news to me. But I can assure you, the only funny business going on in the mini mansion is legendary Tikbait videos. Ms. Lopez? - What are you doing here? - Honey, your sister wanted me to make sure that you're safe. - Are you okay? - My sister? Tell her I'm living my best life. You can leave now. Bye. Do your foster parents know you're here? Okay. I think you should probably come with me. - I think I'll stay. - No. - Sis, you got to bounce. - What? Why? Look, Leo'll mail you some merch. Good luck. You heard him. Let's go. tense electronic music Thanks a lot. scoffs keyboard clicking Jesus, Teddy. God. What are you doing here so late? - Are you quitting? - Sara sighs Look, I don't know. I do this when I'm stressed. Just typing it out makes it real. And when I can't ing myself to send it, it forces me to realize I'm doing something impulsive. - That makes sense? - No, not really. Hopefully the conviction ought them some closure. You ever look across the courtroom and think about the terrible things some of these people have done? That's the DA's job. chuckles softly Back when I was a court reporter, I recorded the violence, but... I don't know, I was always able to leave it on the page. Now I'm side by side with these victims and their families day and night, shouldering their pain and... I'm wearing it. You show up just chipper and ready to go every single day. - How do you do it? - I just started. So, I haven't been punched in the courtroom. Hard for me to say. - Mrs. Castillo... - Teddy, I have told you before you can call me Sara. Sara, I'm not the most social guy, and I'm not really great with personal connections or making friends. Outside of my overbearing parents, this job, people I work with and for... that's all I really have. That's why I show up every day. emotional music Here you go. Do you need milk? - Thank you. Hey... - Mm-hmm. Whether the building's not on fire, - you can call me Sam. - Okay. You know, for a lot of these young men, the volunteer program is just another way to shorten their sentence. But for Cyrus, it was different. He loved being a firefighter. He was damn good at it, too. So, I'm having a hard time believing he was behind all this. What makes you say that? The young man was on my crew during one of the worst fire seasons in decades. I saw the look in his eyes. I... I saw tears in his eyes every time we couldn't save a house. He told me something I will never forget. He said, I don't have a place to go home, and I don't want anybody else to know - what that feels like. - Damn. - Talk about perspective. - Mm. I'm trying to figure out how Cyrus would have had access - to these drip torches. - Inmates weren't allowed to handle torches, for obvious reasons. They were under heavy supervision, so there's no way - he could've stolen one. - Okay. The investigator who testified today placed Cyrus near all these fires. Mm-hmm. That's what I'm struggling with. Now, you mentioned that you were on the arson team, right? That's right. Worked my ass off to be one of the 22 - investigators in L.A. County. - Okay. 22. - That doesn't seem like many. - It's not. There are 3,500 firefighters in L.A., so to be of the 22 meant you were the best. Okay, but what are the chances of the same investigator being in each and every one of these calls? Wow, that's something. Huh. Wow. See, sometimes calling in sick to go grab unch is the best form of self-care. Yeah, about that. I didn't... actually call in sick. I no called, no showed. - Sara. - What? Look, I blew through my sick days a long time ago. I just need a eak from all the ultra violence I ingest every day. It's not healthy. I don't want to quit, but sometimes I don't know how to leave work at work. Okay. So, have you... thought about talking to a therapist? - moans - Listen, this is something you tell people to do every day. You told me to do it, I listened to you, and it probably saved my life. I can't afford it. Look, I filed for workman's comp, but who knows how long that'll take and CalVCB only reimburses victims. So, I don't qualify unless I press charges against Pascal. You can see my predicament. Why aren't you at the office? I am still an office orphan. I spent my entire day yesterday chasing a teenager around L.A. County like Carmen San die go. Her sister was really worried about her, so I tracked her down at Brandon Page's house. That guy who's always on TMZ for pulling pranks on people? - That's the one. - Should I even ask why he's got a teenage girl at his house? Sounds sketchy. Yeah. Cyrus, why were your prints all over that torch? I need you to be honest with me. On God, I've never used one of those things in my entire life. Look, when I got there, the smoke was so thick, I couldn't see two feet in front of my face. I had my shirt covering my mouth. I was crawling around on my hands and knees making sure everybody was out safe. I grabbed a fire extinguisher, but the thing was out of juice. I did everything I could. There wasn't much I could do. - So, I took off. - Cyrus, there was no extinguisher. They only found a torch. Hold on, wait, is it possible that you grabbed the torch thinking that it was the extinguisher? - photos rustling - Hold on. Look at this. They're nearly identical in those conditions. There's no way you would have known. You were trying to do the right thing. And that explains the prints. Mark sighs - Teddy, have you seen Sara? - Not today. She's not responding to my emails, not answering my calls, it's just weird. - It's not like her. - Mr. Callan, - can I ask you a question? - Shoot. Judge Carmichael and Mr. Armstrong. Is there something going on there that I should know about? playful music Chambers now. Mr. Armstrong, what do you think you're doing? Providing the best possible defense for my client. No, you are trying to turn my courtroom into a theater. Keep it up, and I will hold you in contempt. - That's not necessary. - Your Honor. I've been made aware of a previous relationship between you and Mr. Armstrong, which is obviously a conflict of int... I don't know where you are getting your information from, Mr. Biswas, but I can assure you there is no conflict. Now, is there anything else before I kick you both out of my chambers? No, Your Honor. Courtesy copies of the records you subpoenaed. The first is work schedules and MDTs, the second, cell phone records and 911 transcripts. Thanks, Carrol. I don't mean to pry, but is there a reason that you're investigating the investigator? Something just seems off. I mean, the same investigator just happened to be at the right place at the right time every time? It's a very dangerous accusation. Believe me, I'm not trying to take on the entire fire department, but my client is facing decades in prison for a crime... that I don't think he committed. Well, you've never backed away before. Why start now? tense music Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer a few more questions for us. It's no problem at all. That subpoena didn't give me much of a choice, though. Captain Monroe, what is your experience with a drip torch? I have a decade of experience as a firefighter, and I'm going into my sixth year as an investigator. And you were at each of the crime scenes, correct? - Yes, that is correct. - And you personally reviewed and collected all the evidence, right? - That is also correct. - Had you visited any of these locations prior to your investigations? - No. Why would I have? - Interesting. I'd like to submit your phone records, work schedule and 911 calls into evidence. These phone records show that you were present at each of the fires that Mr. Calleja is accused of. Of course, I was the lead investigator. The cell towers indicate that your personal cell phone was at each of these locations hours before any 911 calls were made. suspenseful music Are you familiar with the FBI profile on firebugs, Captain Monroe? Arsonists that moonlight as firefighters. Objection. Argumentative. - Overruled. - That's fine. Defense rests. Counsel, please approach the bench. I move to have the charges dismissed at the conclusion of this hearing. Not only is the prosecution's lead witness lying under oath, he's probably the perp. Mr. Watkins is a fantastic storyteller, I will give him that, but there is more than enough evidence to go to trial here, Your Honor. The evidence ought to light here certainly raises some questions, and I will take all of this into consideration. Let's take a ief recess. gavel bangs Did you see the moment of impact? Yes. Did you remove the driver's mask? I didn't want to risk exacerbating any injuries. So, you didn't see the driver's face? No, I did not. Had you been - drinking that night? - Objection. Relevance. Overruled. I'd had a few drinks. So, you were impaired as well? Legally, yes, but that's why I ordered an Uber. I was being responsible, unlike the defendant. Mr. Callan, that's enough. Counsel, approach the bench. Lola sighs This trial has been tiptoeing the precipice of unprofessionalism. And quite frankly, I am done here. Now, Mr. Armstrong, your client was offered a fair deal that he was ready to accept before you crashed the party. Now, I suggest that you reconsider that deal, or we can send this to the attorney general. If the defendant accepts, the People are willing to honor that offer. Mr. Dunham is an upstanding member of the community who has never been in trouble with the law in any capacity. He was caught up in the moment and made a poor decision. He was driving under the influence. My client was taking - prescribed meds. - He injured a pedestrian. Mr. Dunham realizes he made a mistake, but that is no reason to throw the book at him. Sometimes true justice includes the punishments that aren't given. In the interest of time and taxpayer dollars, the People are willing to charge this a misdemeanor with the minimum penalties assessed. tense music We appreciate your understanding. Counselors, you may step back. Mr. Dunham. Consider yourself extremely lucky, not only because the punishment could have been much more severe, but also because you are alive and standing in this courtroom today. This new evidence has cast significant doubt on the prosecution's case. As such, I have decided to dismiss all charges due to insufficient evidence. Mr. Calleja, you're free to go. Luke chuckling uplifting music - Just going to let him walk? - No, not quite. I'd love to have a look through the notes you compiled on Captain Munroe so we can start putting a case together. I'm going to see to it that man spends a long time in prison. Of course, there is one other thing. - What's that? - About that pint. Well played, sir. Hey. Come on in. Shut the door behind you. Look, um... I'm sorry about going AWOL the last couple days. I think I was having an existential meltdown, but that's still no excuse for my behavior. Have a seat. Sara, whatever you're going through, I hope you know you can always talk to me. What happened to you the other day was awful. This job can be... terrifying. And it can be heart eaking. It can be a lot of things. But whatever it is, you cannot disappear. You got too many people counting on you. Too many people who need you. Sara sighs You know, I've been... questioning if I have the strength to be here. But I know I want to be here. Good, because you are the strongest person I know. Hey. You've got this. sighs deeply You can't be upset with me. I'm alone in here. You're alone in here? I'm alone out there. Brandon doesn't care about you either. He only cares about the money and attention that comes along with it. It's not even like that. These people are not your friends, Maddie. - They're dangerous. - You're being dramatic. You promised me that you would stay away from them. - You're just jealous. - Maddie. - Maddie! - door shuts There he is. Sam laughing - What are you doing here? - I'm here because of this guy. I knew you couldn't have been involved. I can't thank you enough, man. I'm thinking you should consider getting yourself an attorney to file a lawsuit against the city for false arrest.

Kept an innocent man out of jail. Your partner, on the other hand... What about him? He turned Lola's courtroom - into a sideshow. - What? One of our juniors was supposed to oversee that case. - He didn't tell you? - Uh, no. He knows I would have shut that down. Oh, your boy was pulling out all the stops. Ugh, he and I will have a little chat. Speaking of chat... there was something I wanted to talk to you about. I was thinking about our conversation - from the other night. - And?

This is what you say you're going to do, and you did it. I'm proud of you. Thank you, Dre. I'm proud of you, too. chuckles Some things don't change. Mm-mm. Some things definitely don't change. But a lot of things did change. pressing button You know, law school was the time of my life. Hmm. I'm sorry you were in such a rush to go out and take over the world. But I'd do anything right now to get those years back. I find myself sometimes wondering about all the fun things we used to have. chuckling You remember that trip to Mexico? chuckles I do. Dining on the boats of the Riviera Maya, surrounded by the mangroves, hiking the ruins at sunset. Getting food poisoning so bad that we both almost died. Andre laughing I mean, going through it when we were both trapped in the tiny hotel room with one bathroom. both chuckling Yeah. That'll test the strongest of loves. Drowning in the river and I don't know When I'm going under but I'm so cold Baby watch me give your fire Theme music playing...
Blast off for another exciting adventure in outer space with Scott Mcleod... Space Angel. In the story of The Gladiators. Eveningstar calling Starduster. Starduster, come in, please. Scott, if you can hear me, please, come in. This is Starduster. What's the excitement, professor? Over. You know that asteroid Crystal discovered in Vectra five? - Yeah! What about it? - Scott get this. That little gem contains over 80 percent beryllium. What's the mass, professor? It's one half of earth's moon. Holy cats! Wath a find. It's important that we get to the asteroid before an outsider discovers this information. It's up to you, Scott. We're on our way, professor, out here. - I feel like a lucky prospector. - Oh-oh we've got company. What is it, Taurus? Another ship headed toward our asteroid. Looks like we have a race. Hang on. - Taurus, turn on the forward disco. - Aye, Skipper. - I don't recognize this ship. - It's not from our solar system. - Anthenians, no question about it. - Think we can beat them? We'll sure try. - Standby for landing. - Aye, Skipper. - Readings, Crystal. - Point four gravity. Standby. Firing retro rockets. We beat him. Follow me, gang. Steady now. The hatch is opening. Look Scott, there's the Anthenians. Creatures from earth, you are helpless. We have a protective beam surrounding you and your ship. But, why? We were here first. The inner galaxy law determines that this is our asteroid by right first touchdown. Laws? Antthenians have their own laws. And by the right of possession, this asteroid is ours. This matter must be arbitrated before the interplanetary space council. We will settle this before the Anthenian space advisors. They will know what to do. - A force ray. - I... I can't move. Should think you can out with it, Anthenians. The girl must come with me. Leave the lassie alone, your monkey. If I could move I'd... Could reach my disintegrator I... Why are you taking the girl, she can't help you. To main sure you follow us to Anthennia. Skipper, we can't leave Crystal. I know. they've got the upper hand at the moment. Good, he's turned off the force ray. We'll have to follow them, Taurus. Aye, skipper. And if they harm that lassie they'll be sorry they ever saw this day. Should we notify the Space Council? Not while they have crystal. No, we'll have to play by their rules for now. Well it won't be long now. There's our destination. Standby, Taurus, this isn't going to be easy. Careful, skipper, you're only allowed one mistake. Phew! We made it skipper. - I'm sure glad that's over. - Me too. That belt of asteroids is what makes the Antheanian so arrogant. It's the finest defense barrier in this galaxy. Aye, skipper, and there's their main planet stay ahead. Standby for landing. We're entering in atmosphere. According to inter galaxy law, the first ship to touchdown on an asteroid may claim it. Here we make the law, and there's but one way to settle the dispute. - War! - War! - War! - What kind of war? You will meet our gladiators, in our fighting machines. Well now, we always enjoy a good fight. You will have a good fight, earthling. Against our champions. You will have the privilege of fighting three wars. If you win two of the three, the beryllium's asteroid is yours. - And if we lose? - To lose is to die. This meeting is adjourned to the arena. The first war will be fought with cannon mobiles. I presume I'll have time to practice the operation of this toy. You will get plenty of practice when the war begins. Real sports these anthenians. You will find, Zarko, your opponent, to be a wonderful teacher. He has 100 such wars. And now you will mount your machine. The first war is to be fought until one of you is unable to continue. - Scott, be careful. - Keep your guard up, skipper. The gladiators will take their place on the battle lines. - At either end of the arena. - Let the war begin. Good afternoon, fellow citizens. In the blue chariot is Zokar, champion of Anthenya. Victorious in over a hundred wars. Zokar, represent of the greatest culture in the universe. The supreme planet Anthenia. Now entering the arena, the red chariot carrying the earthly Scott Mcleod. This will indeed be a glorious day for Anthenia. Once again we shall prove the superior might of our planet. Through the efforts of Zokar. Zokar maneuvers into position. He prepares his battle attack. There goes Zokar. Obviously warming up, can he, citizens? No cause for alarm. I've seen him do this a hundred times. Again Zocar maneuvers for position. The earthling up and he dies. Watch earthilings, Zokar. He appear lucky, ain't, citizes of Antenhia? The Earthilings punes after battle. Crystal do you think you can make it to the Starduster without being seen? - I can try. - Then get going. Call the space council and see if we can get some help out here. Rght, Taurus, see you later. Zokar is playing Katonic and Dingo with him. Stop playing with the poor earth creature, Zokar. You're beginning to fight him. Put him out of his misery, Zocar fires. The earthling is hit. Give with him, skipper. Why earthling? What can we do for you. Zokar has scored the first blow. That's it run earthling? After him, Zokar. Catch the miserable insect and crush him. Oh-oh, no guns. Your friend is stubborn. Already he has lost his weapons. We haven't lost yet. you watch. Merely a question of time. - Oh-oh. - Sorry Taurus. I didn't make it. Where did you find her? She was attempting to communicate with her galaxy. Good work, Kalzar. Keep them both under guard. Citizens now pay close attention our glorious champion now closes for the kill. Now Zokar! Now for Anthenia! Now for victory. Mercifull heavens! This up not! Death up. Scott, oh Scott. Our gladiator is still standing. It would appear that we have been victorious in the first war. - Is he... - Just unconscious, Crys. I'll take him. Since you are unable to continue the war, I hereby claim victory, and the beryllium asteroid for anthenia and her planets. Hold on now. Who says we're unable to continue? But look at your man, he is unconscious. I challenge for the right to fight the next war. You? Very well. So shall it be. Prepare the next two gladiators for combat. - I may make a suggestion. - Continue. Let's dispense with the toys. I wish to fight without weapons. We'll use our bare hands. You may not have the advantage of your strength. However you may have your choice of weapons. The earthling will have his choice of weapons. The double-headed polax. The mobile sphere tank cannon mobile. The shield and disintegrator robot. The atomic crossbow carrier. The mobile mace and... the paralyzer. I choose the mace, that's more like it, agreed. Take your friend to the ready room and prepare yourself for combat. How are you feeling, lad? My head... What happened? - You rammed the black robot. - You did well, lad. But I'm afraid we lost the about. Taurus, what about the next war? We haven't lost yet. Taurus is going to fight the next war with mace shield. Aye, this is one party I wouldn't miss for anything. I should be fighting. No, lad, you're in no condition. Warriors! Man in your machines. Okay, old bull. Go get them. The gladiators will take their positions on the starting lines. This contest will be a fight to the finish. The war will be over only when one of the gladiators is unable to continue. Be ready. The battle will begin at the signal from the leader. Let the war begin. Once again Zolkar must vanquish an earthling. Now that he has warmed up. This should prove to be a simple task. The maze is most effective for close fighting. Make it quick, Zokar. Scott I'm frightened. Don't worry Crys. Taurus didn't come by his name accidentally. - Watch it! - Watch how quickly Zokar finds the range. This is it, citizens. Hold on to your helmets. Zokar will now make you smooth. Observe citizens, how Zokar carves the earthling out of position. Scott, this is uttal. Nothing than Taurus can handle it. They're turning around. The last three battles fought with the mobile mace, found Zokar an angry vicious gladiator. This afternoon he is the same. Watch citizens as our wonderful hero approaches for the slaughter. Goodbye, foolish earthling. Take him Zokar, now! - He's been hit. - No, he's okay Crys. Just lost his windshield. The earthling has lost his protective headguard. Just one more blow, Zokar! Lookout, you fool. Get him, Zokar! Get him! He did it, Scott. Taurus won. The war is over. The white gladiator is victorious. We won this round, all right. I wonder what they have in store for us next. This round is yours, but for the last and final round, we will have the choice of weapons. Disintegrating rays. The next and final war will be fought with disintegrating rays and reflective shields. For the protection of spectators the ray guns have a range of only 30 yards. The participants are restricted to the center section of the arena. Disintegrators? They don't kid around do they? What strange looking machines. What's the mirror for? The mirrors for deflecting the disintegrator ray. The control mechanism looks simple enough. I shouldn't have any trouble operating it. No, Taurus. I'll take this bought. I've got an idea. If those mirrors can deflect the rays, I can see where they can be as lethal as the blasters. If I can just get my opponent in close enough. But if I should lose you'll have to look after Crystal, Taurus. The contestants will take their places in the fighting machines. This is the deciding war. It is to be fought to the death. There is to be no compromise. - Do you understand? - I understand. - Agreed. - That's unfair. He's wearing a reflective suit. I'm afraid we're still playing by their rules. Take your positions in the battle line. The contestants are in position. Begin the war. Zokar lowers his ray gun and fires what appears to be a simple test shot. Merely sampling the earth creatures courage. The earthling is obviously afraid, as he refuses to return Zokar's powerful rays. Taurus why doesn't Scott use his blaster? He has to get the hang of the controls first, lassie. Now watch this. That was a low shot easily deflected by Zokar. Attaboy, lad. Now go get him. Taurus did you see that? He did that on purpose. He deliberately held out his ray gun and let it be blasted away. That's right. And whatever plan he has in mind I hope it works. - Taurus look! - Watch it, lad! Watch it! - He did it! He won! - Good work, skipper. Silence! The cheers of my people testify you have conducted yourself with valor. The wars are over. You have won the prize. - The beryllium asteroid is yours. - Thank you. And so long as you've lived up to your agreement and... If you join the interplanetary space council, I'll see to it that your planet gets its share of the process beryllium. Where have you been Scott. I've been worried about you. We stopped off at Anthenia for a little sport. - Sport? - Sport, he calls it. We're returning to base now, professor. We'll inform you in when we get there. Starduster out. And so ends the story of the gladiators. Don't miss the next exciting adventure of Space Angel! Kilo

Hey, how'd that date go, though? Yeah, how was your guys'... Who went out with who? Yeah, it was definitely a good time to get to know each other. Do you have anyone that you like from look-wise, think you would have picked to go on the date if you had your own choice? Honestly, I feel like everybody's, like, attractive. I mean, if okay, if I were to go by type-type, I usually would go with guys who had tattoos. I mean, I only see his arm tattooed. Felipe ain't got no tattoos. laughter I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, honestly, I'm not gonna lie to you. It's really hard to tell for me. Like, I'm happy where, you know, where Felipe and I stand, but then again, I was actually thinking my couple was in jeopardy. That's the risk of dating someone that's a hot commodity. I am a big personality person, but first impression, I'm gonna say Felipe. Cute. laughter I mean, there's a little bit of, like, female dominance going on. Nothing too crazy, but I feel the tension a little bit. So how did you guys pick who was going on the date with us? So us guys, man, we all came to an executive decision, and you know, I-I like blondes, so I'm like, okay, I'll take the blonde, and that's how my decision happened, you know? laughs Me and Timmy... we are talking, like, who is gonna go, because the guys decided to don't go. I chat with Timmy, and I didn't have much time to know about you. - Yeah, time is interesting. And then why I decided, like, I'm gonna go to check the girls with Jess. You know what? I-I appreciate you explaining that. I like Sereniti because for me, she's really open, and she say what she has in her mind. So I don't feel she got mad at all. You know, I can be wrong, but I don't feel on that way. So how was it with the girls when we left? Me, oh, my. chuckles I feel like I look like her. Yeah, Jesse, I guess, definitely has a type. Yeah. Yeah, how are you feeling about it, like, honestly? I mean, I'm fine. Like, I don't... I would, like, I don't care. - Yeah. - Like, I think it's great. - But definitely, like, little... But the fact he's like, I like blondes, and, like, I love to explore, and I was like, Can't just get all the blondes you want. It was cool, though. Like, I think Mady has a... A lot to offer, you know? But, like, going in there and meeting her, I honestly think me and Valerie would have a better connection than me and Mady would. I didn't even expect that, you know what I'm saying? - I did not expect that at all. - We just rambling right now. Nobody's locked into anything right now. - No. - Yeah, it's gon' be a good day tomorrow for sure. Those beds are looking hella nice, you know? - laughter - I'm tired. You need a pick-me-up? I'll be there in 25 Jesse's a big boy. He's gonna take up the whole bed, and I wanna sleep. - Are y'all cuddling tonight? - Are you a cuddler? - No. - laughter Do y'all... do y'all share a bed? I think I'm gonna cry in bed tonight. I've been living in the future Hope that I might see you sooner I haven't been in bed with a guy in so long. Cleaning my mouth out, getting rid of all of my demons. Making my hairs in my pits smell good. - That'd be a good idea. - Yeah. 'Cause we're sleeping with the girls tonight. This is my sleep mask, but do you guys think I should? laughter I think it might be too much. I don't wanna scare anyone off. laughter You won't stay with me, I know But you can have your way with me till you go The Islanders will share a bed with a stranger surrounded by 10 other people, like that dodgy Airbnb I once stayed at, all while being filmed by hidden cameras... like that dodgy Airbnb I once stayed in. Do you wanna get under the sheets, you and I? Just feel like... You feel like it's disrespectful? - Yeah. laughs - Oh! I shouldn't be that comfortable. Is that when you start eating, before other people get their food? - laughs Yo, same concept. - You warming up yet? - Yeah. - Get in there. - Hey. cheers and applause Okay, come. Let's sleep. Good night. Let's fall in love for the night And forget in the morning Play me a song that you like You can bet I'll know every line WYN Whoa, oh Wake up, get down Come on now, the world is our playground Welcome back to Love Island USA. This show is packed to the rafters with the latest technology, except in the bedroom, where for some reason, we're using black and white cameras from the 1940s. Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout Thinkin' 'bout, thinkin' 'bout you and me My mom told me if you make your bed, you have a good day. Oh, so take my hand We're dancing, the life of the party - Hey, Felipe, how'd you sleep? - Good morning. - I didn't sleep much. - What's your middle name? - Vieira. - Gator? - Vieira. - V... Like Darth Vader? We go together like light and morning - Cheers. - Cheers. Let's do another one. Like birds and soaring Like words and stories Ooh, we go perfect Yeah, we go perfectly Oh, my God, yeah, this morning, when I woke up, and there was just, like, so many shirtless boys... Oh, my God. When I saw Jesse's body, I was like... - Oh, my. Jesse and Felipe. - Felipe's really cute. Felipe's really cute. Today's my actual first full day in the villa. Definitely wanna talk to everyone. I wanna talk to all the guys. Gonna get to know all of them. I definitely have a couple in mind that I'm kinda, like, liking. How did everyone sleep? Honestly, like, it was a really comfortable cuddle. Like, I... didn't, like, hate it. - You guys looked comfy. - He was really warm, and, like, I was freezing. Was the cuddle happening, like, most of the night? - The whole night. - gasps You're joking. The whole night, bitches. I slept... Were you happy with that or no? Yeah, I mean, I was enjoying it. Like... I'm so happy about that for you. Since me and Sydney had that one-on-one, like, you kinda have to compare, o, the differences in between stuff with Sydney and, you know, Deb, or Sydney and somebody like that. So that's what I'm-a do for a little bit, you know? Lot of fish in the tank, o. - Isaiah? He's so cute. - He is. He's really cute. I mean, he's really... He just, like... - He looks like trouble. - Trouble. Yes, I feel like he wants to be trouble, you know what I mean? - Like... - Yeah. He's, like, definitely someone you have fun with. Sereniti, did you get any cuddles last night with Felipe? - Uh, yeah. - Did you really? Aw! - Stop it. - Yeah, it was really sweet. Oh, my gosh. Am I the only one who didn't get any cuddles last night? We had our legs, like, intertwined all night. It was very nice and cozy. - Really?! - Aw! - Cute. - Yeah. Deb, how are you feeling about Jess and... We didn't really, like, talk in bed or, like, anything. Like, I, like, asked him about the date, and I was, like, gonna ask him how he, like, felt about her, but I, like, got shy, so I didn't. - You, big man? - You know, uh... sighs I got my eyes set on a couple women, you know? Uh... laughter They all look very enticing, so... uh, I definitely wanna talk to Val. Nah, that's what today's about, man. We made the... You know, we gon' meet people today. - Uh-huh. - We gon' mingle. - It's Christmas, baby. - Yeah, that's for sure. laughter Sereniti still wants to know where Felipe's head's at. Uh, Sereniti, Iain Stirling here to help. It's on his shoulders. Tell me the tea about your date. I know it was long, but let me get cozy. - You know, it was fun, you know? Yeah. Did you get mad about my date or no? No, I wasn't mad about the date. I think I was just, like, confused. Like, is he okay? Like, where'd he go? You know, of course, I'm, you know, wanna know the details. Not details, but just know, like... You wanna know where is my head at. You know, like, yeah. Yeah, and you know, I didn't... I didn't even know where you were at period. Between me and Sereniti now, I feel like we're still friends for now, nothing something more romantick-ing or anything. But I still don't know her much to be sure, um, which stage we are, you know? - I'm gonna talk with... - I know. What you got... - all the ladies. - Gotta have a talk. To know them. I like your personality, is the one I talk more, to be honest. I didn't talk much with the other girls, you know? For me, it's like, if I share to the girls, and a few are interesting, one of them, I'm gonna come to you and gonna say hey, you know? - Same. Same. Yeah. - Like... Yeah.

No, you can keep giving me compliments. - Yeah. laughs - No, you can keep going. laughter You already know. You already know. Yeah, I mean, there's sparks on my end from me and Deb. I don't know if she has that same spark. The conversations we are so easy and natural, and it just flows so well, but, uh, Valerie, uh, definitely sparks my interest as well. So I just wanna keep taking it step by step. Like, even when you got back from the date last night, like, the fact that you said hi to me... - Yeah. - I was like, oh, that's cool. - Yeah. laughs - Of course, of course. - Yeah. - Do you still... Do you wanna, like, get to know them more? Or like, where... Where's your head? Yeah, yeah, so after that date, I kinda seen, you know, Valerie's point of view on things, and, uh, I'd like, you know, to talk to her a little bit, see where her head's at and stuff like that. But honestly, I'm glad that you went. - Yeah? - Because then I feel like with you exploring other people... - Yeah. - Like, then we can see, like... - Yeah. - If what we have is, like, good or continue. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I don't know. I'm such, like, I don't, like, trust people right away. Yeah. So everyone's like a fuckboy until, like... laughs - Yeah, until proven otherwise. - Proven otherwise. - laughter - Yes. Yes. Yes. Like, I always have my guard up which is also something I need to work on. - Yeah. 'Cause it's like I need to be more, like, open. Yeah. Yeah. It's like and here's... - It's terrifying. - Yeah, yeah, it's scary. - It's scary. - Like, being vulnerable's awful. Yeah, that's the word, yeah. Vulnerability is like, oh, my gosh, that scares me. I feel like I did kind of good today with, like, telling him that it's hard for me to be vulnerable, so that's the first step, right? Admitting you have a problem. laughs But I don't know. I kind of want, like, a little more from him because I feel like he definitely knows where I stand. I don't know. Maybe we're both feeling shy. - What's happening? - Hello. - Do you wanna go for a chat? - Let's go for a chat. Where should we go? Mady has taken real estate agent Andy to the craft treehouse, or as he would describe it, the generously proportioned elevated mansion with panoramic views. Today I'm just, like, using this day as to, like, get to know everyone, and, you know, just feel everyone. I mean, I think you're in the same boat as all of us. Yeah. Just kinda feeling everything out. What do you look for in a guy? Like, what's your typical, like... - Um, I'm Southern. - Yeah. - So, like, I want to be pursued. - Yeah.

I love it. - Adding the inventory online. I love it. No, that's, like, super, super attractive and then just someone that's, like, independent. Like, the impression you're giving me right now, the way you carry yourself, like... Oh. That's something to be proud of, because it's really attractive. - Wow. Thank you. - So... I'm definitely excited to be partnered up with Courtney, um, but Mady, um, I just really like the way she carries herself beyond looks, like, ambition. You can just tell she's such an ambitious person. I just feel like the connection, the vibe was, um, just really easy and... And free-flowing with her right now. I mean, it's just a conversation you didn't really wanna end. - How y'all feeling? - Good. How you doing? You feeling good? - I'm good. - Looking good. Do you wanna go talk over there? Yeah, we can.

You said Costa Rica, right? So for how long? I was, like, born and raised over there. I moved here when I was 16. Most of my family's still in Costa Rica, so I, like, always go there, like, travel back. - That's crazy. So if you wanna go, we can go, you know? I wouldn't mind showing you off there. - Okay! - laughs I wanna pull Isaiah for a chat, but he's been talking to, um, Val for a while, but I have not... They have been talking for a while. Yeah, I know, but I could tell the way they're, like, cuddled up now, I think she just saw me look over there, but, um, awkward. Like, you're definitely, like, my physical type for sure. - Yeah, you are, too. Yeah. - But, mm-hmm. I definitely would have to agree with that. - It's definitely mutual. - Okay. Mm-hmm. She so knows we're looking at her. Um, but no, they're not cuddled up. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. 'Cause, you know, we were talking, we were like... Okay, that makes me feel better. I don't know if you've noticed, but you haven't stopped smiling. - I haven't stopped smiling. - I know, I know. So obviously, that's good energy, right? I know. It is. So that's what you're looking for. I mean, you look good, so it's kinda, like, hard not to, like... - You as well, you as well. - laughs Definitely have a huge physical attraction to Isaiah, but it's like, do I go more for, like, who I feel like will be better for me, or should I go for who I'm physically attracted to? You know what I mean? I'm like, I don't know what to do. Isaiah, do you wanna go for a chat? Yeah, let's go. Sure. How are you feeling? Good, good. How are you? I'm good.

That was, like, kinda hit... kinda hit a sensitive spot, and I, like, didn't want to feel that. I didn't want it to hit a spot. - I mean... - Well, maybe that was... That was actually a moment that kinda led him to understanding, like, okay, like, trust, loyalty's important. Hopefully. They not angels over there. There were some crazy cards pulled down, so... - For real. - laughs Yo, we gotta discuss that at some point, right? - We all have our shit, o. - And that's your past. - You learn from that. - No, no, yeah, you good, o.

I would have liked kissing Jesse 'cause I feel like he was gonna be a good kisser. - Yeah, I know. I felt like he was gonna be... yeah. And I was like, please give me a reason for him to hold me. Give me a reason for him to touch me or something. Like, I wanna feel a big man. laughs Was there any... any that were surprising to you guys? Yeah, I think your... Your graduation gift was surprising to me, you know? - Really? We was all pretty shocked. 'Cause they didn't guess it at all.

INeedToProcess. laughter You guys... you guys think about it. Well, I feel like I definitely have conversations to do... - Yeah. - Before I make that decision. I have a lot to think about. Mady and Valerie are about to steal two boys. Yeah, they're gonna commit daylight robbery, but at night, s-so basically, i-it's a... it's a robbery. Do you know what's funny, though, about recouplings? - It changes everything. - That's right. It's like everybody's stuff gets, like, jacked up. The mess just fucking started.

It's like, all of them, so you've made no progress! - laughs - Trust me, trust me, I know. I have to choose someone to couple up with tonight and potentially step on some people's toes, but really, the hard part is just kind of deciding what I think is the right choice for me, and that's really hard. The pressure's on. I'm a little stressed for tonight because Valerie, I cannot tell you a single thing about. I don't know what she's thinking. Her cards are, like, she is not sharing any details. Love me, love me Yeah, I could definitely use it now. Love me, love me - We got Sydney right here. - Say that you love me Cheers to all of us being so beautiful, intelligent, gorgeous, and I'm so happy to have y'all.

New girl Mady's quickly becoming part of the furniture, and tonight, the part of the furniture she's becoming is the sofa. sighs How are you feeling this evening? A nice, fun day today. I know. That was my first Love Island kiss. Ah. Actually, I'll let you in on the inside. - Okay. - Um... - Okay. - When... When it was my turn and then, uh, I read out that card, uh, so, like, there was like no real, uh... strategy. Like, it was... I'm just, like, Yo, guys. I'm kissing Mady. - I like that. - Yeah. Yeah, so... - I like that. - That's... That's - So you really took initiative. - For sure. - Okay. - They can vouch for it. Ask 'em. For sure. - I like that. Brownie points. - Okay. I like ownie points, and I like ownies, too, so... I actually can bake some really good ownies. - Yeah. Oh, yeah? - It's from the box. I'm just gonna kick off, you know? Whatever. It'll... it'll be a good test, but obviously, I'm gonna be bummed out. I know it's early. I just know again, I know you, but, like, you seem very trustworthy, and, like, in a place where you're ready to just... keep it real with somebody and, you know, build on that. I've just got this really, really strong intuition that Mady is going to choose Timmy. So, yeah, if he does get chosen tonight, it's just gonna be difficult not laying in the same bed with him. I'm just gonna be thinking, like, what are they chatting about? Like, the whole time, just wanting to, like, be beside him. I'm just all over the board with my emotions right now. You are, like, somebody that I am attracted to. - Yeah. - And I definitely wanna, like, get to know you more. - Yeah, yeah, same here. I have to, like, make a decision. - Just relax, you know? - Mm-hmm. Don't feel like it's, you know, pressure, you know? There's no pressure, no nothing. I feel ya. You know what I'm saying? Like... I guess, like, I feel like right now I'm just going based off, like, the physical attraction. - Mm-hmm. - You know, I haven't had that, like, spark that I'm, like, looking for... - Mm-hmm. - With, like, anybody yet. - Mm-hmm. - Which is okay. Yeah. Like, a part of me feels like I can get there with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess wanted to, like, check and, like, make sure that was, like, reciprocated as well, but... It's reciprocated as well. You caught my eye. You know, obviously, looks-wise. - Like, blondes, blue eyes. - giggles Like, yeah, that's... - That's your type? - That's my type, but then... what I've learned is, like, there's a lot more to it than just that, and... - Mm-hmm. And I liked... I liked everything that you kinda said this morning. Like, it is what I guess I've been looking for in somebody. - So... - That's sweet. Yeah. So... and I don't know where your head's at. I don't know what your thoughts were from this morning, but... Mm-hmm. Yeah, I feel like we had a really good conversation. Yeah. Andy just kind of came out of nowhere and told me how... How he was feeling, and that just spoke really loudly to me. I really don't know what I'm gonna do, because I had good conversations with all of them earlier, and right now I'm just, like, really confused. Sydney's coupled up with Isaiah, who's a waiter, which, of course, is a traditional Californian word, meaning out of work actor. You cold? What's your arms crossed for? A little bit. What? Obviously, you're beautiful, you know? You have a great smile. I guess that I love how spontaneous you are with stuff. I definitely, like, I don't know. There's... There's something. There's something that I'm just missing from you that I don't know about yet. sighs Okay. I bought a ticket to your show Are there any other girls you wanna go pull for a chat? Did you see me, did you know? - I don't know. - Uh... I was standing in the back row Did I look like a red flag? No, you don't look like a red flag. Down low We'll see. Isaiah, I'm so sorry that I'm doing this right now. - Oh, no. - Can I speak to you for a second? - Yeah, sure. Now you're somebody's baby Do you wanna go up there? I haven't been there. - Yeah, sure. - I'll be on my way How you doing with Sydney? Oh, you right away, right away you... Yeah, I wanna know. I went straight to the point. I've been living in a bad dream, bad dream I've been living in a bad, bad dream So me and Sydney, like, I've been just, you know, I've been really trying to be with her. 'Cause obviously, the chem's there, okay? - Mm-hmm. - I'm just... I'm very... I'm very picky, and it's like, it may seem like I'm calling her out for a lot of stuff, but I may look like a dick, but I'm not trying to do that. Mm-hmm. I mean, you gotta be honest at the end of the day, too. When Isaiah talks to me, he, like, hammers me sometimes. I'm just, like, shit, and I just really caught the vibe that I guess he doesn't like me for some reason. I don't know. And I'm just like, okay, dude, if you don't like me, like, that's fine, like, just, like, so intense, you know? Like, I can't take the pressure of it, like... Any red flag, I'm-a call you out for. If you don't see any red flags, that's a red flag. You don't see any red flags with me? - I'll get... I'll get to that. - laughs I'll get to that. Honestly, I didn't see any red flags from you. Like, I feel like you're so my type that it can hurt me, and I think that's what, like, I was scared of. Like, would you say your attraction towards me is strong as mine for you? - Oh, yeah, no, I'm definitely... I'm definitely attracted to you for sure. Mm-hmm. sighs Tonight is a big decision for me. I have different connections going on with people, but I definitely gotta pick what's best for me right now, what feels the best and what feels the most natural. And I think I know... I know what I'm gonna go for. Like, you can open up to me. You can talk to me. I'm... I'm super down. I've been living in a bad dream voice eaking Yeah, I'm just, like, over it.

I'm super happy, though, I'm not gonna lie. I'm happy. Valerie is now Jesse's girl. And you know, I wish I had Jesse's girl. It's a song from the '80s, ask your mum. That conversation that we had, just like... It was like a complete turnaround for me. I'm glad. I'm glad it happened. And I feel like that's... That's all we had to, like, have today. - Yeah. That's it. - You know what I mean? Like, we just needed that conversation to like, - just know it's there. - I've been knowing. That's what I'm saying. I knew it from the challenge night. You was catching my eye and I'm just looking at you and I just couldn't stop smiling. giggles Like, before our conversation, I feel like I was going to make a decision that I was later going to regret. And I was kind of having like a little bit of an emotional moment. - giggles You know? - Come, here. Come on, girl. It's okay, it's okay. - And you went with your gut. - Mm-hmm. And you know, at the end of the day... Because in my gut I really feel like me and you have a solid-ass comeback. I know. It's just like... it feels good, - you know what I mean? - Yes. With Jesse, there's a connection that I wanna, like, make here, you know? The way I feel around him, he makes me feel so safe. And the fact that he makes me feel that way so soon, like, I don't even know how to, like, take it. It's, like, surprising. Like, it just feels so... like, so good. I'm here to find - the strongest connection. - Exactly. And I feel like, by making this decision, that's what I'm doing. - Yeah, for sure. - I'm really glad. For sure. I'm so happy. I'm definitely in a pickle with Deb. You know, there's no denying the fact that me and her share a strong connection. But I think now that I'm in a couple, I'm gonna definitely show more attention to Valerie and just kind of reassure her, you know, how I'm feeling. New couple, Andy and Mady, are getting along like a house on fire, which for a real estate agent is a chance to make a big insurance claim. How are you feeling now that we're a couple now? I am super excited. When you first started talking, I'm not going to lie to you, I was shaking a little bit, a little nervous, I was really like, Please, I really want to partner with you, so I was super excited, when you started talking, I'm like, You are so much more than just being beautiful. Your character and who you are - is something... - That's so sweet. That really, like, means a lot to me. So I just wanted you to know that and I'm excited to just kind of dive more into this. I'm super excited to get to know Mady a little bit more. Super happy she chose me. I think me stepping out and letting her know where I'm at, what I'm feeling, was probably the game changer there. I'm excited to see, like, you know, what could happen from this. And a lot of other guys - gotta do it, so... - Oh! Kissing Andy was really good. I loved the confidence. He's so genuine and he's really sweet. I'm going to say he's like frozen custard. giggles Hey, boys. Wow, hello, ladies, what's up? Hello. Hello, hello. - Oh, it's hot tonight. - It feels so good.

How're you feeling? - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm feeling great. - Yeah? - I feel very confident in what we have already established. I just want you to feel comfortable and not feel, like, over pressed or anything like that. I'm... you know, I've been prone to, like, not invite my, you know, emotions being shown, like, - take it deeper there. - Are you feeling vulnerable with me? There's definitely a level of that for sure. I'm not going to tell you which level. - Do you like it? - I like it because... giggles Do you love it? Do you want some more of it? laughing I want to... I want to indulge a bit more, you know what I'm saying? I'll take the chance You're making me blush. - Really? - Yeah, I can't believe it. I've been wanting to do this.

What happened with you? Isaiah and I were talking. He freaked out or whatever and started saying that maybe we're not compatible. That's why I started crying.

Everyone has a weight to carry Everyone has a soul so let it shine Do you like having the bed to yourself? - Actually, yeah. giggles - Yeah? It's good that he likes to cuddle, for sure.

Bring on the summertime Bring on the summertime Bring on the summertime Damn! You're killing with the fits though, o. USA, baby, USA. I was definitely hearing some kissing. - Well, yeah! - Really? I'm like, Zeta. Yeah, was that you? I don't know. Was it? I thought I heard a little moan, too. - Moaning? I weren't moaning. - It wasn't moaning, it was just a little, like, Mm! Like... No, do you know what? Timmy does it. Even when you're talking he'll be, like, Mm. all laughing Hey, me and Zeta cuddled for the first time. Yeah. She had her little silk thing on and it was very comfortable, so... A lot of, you know, soft touches. - Yes, sir. Yes, sir. - Feel great. With me and Zeta, I feel secure in what we got and, you know, I want to continue to, you know, keep a good pace with things. What about you, Andy? You know, I think today I'm just trying to focus on Mady as much as I can. I think I put my foot forward yesterday of saying, like... Slight little kiss yesterday. - Slight? - Slight little kiss. Come on, my boy. About time somebody get some action. Yeah, some lip action. - Mady, we just... - Well, yeah. Tell us about your night. You've just been awfully quiet over there. We kissed last night. - You did? - Oh, my God! Damn, my life is dry. - laughing - Girl, same. How did you sleep, Val? Just, like, as soon as we got in the bed we kinda just, like, started cuddling. I mean, I didn't know how it was going to be. It just felt right. Like, I don't even know how to explain it. Y'all tryna find love on the first day while I'm trying to fight for covers. I feel like you're going to fall hard and fast. I know. I'm, like, a little scared. Not going to lie. I kind of feel like I'm very vulnerable right now. I was comfortable and now I lost Jesse. I just don't want to continue to lose him. voice cracking And we were making good strides. I don't know what to do. And it's so stressful and my voice is leaving me. What's happening to my voice? I'm coupled up with Val now, you know? I'm happy about this because I'm happy to share a bed with her. But, you know, you just can't deny the fact that me and Deb have a strong connection so I'm not closing that door for sure. Me and Deb definitely built a stronger relationship and connection than me and Val, but there's a real connection there, and it's just so easy for me and her to converse. So I really want to focus all my effort and attention on just one girl, but, you know, right now it is very hard. Zeta and Jesse don't see eye to eye. They're getting on fine but Jesse just refuses to look at her. Like, from this situation from your perspective, what do you observe? You know, from Deb and, you know, how she's feeling maybe about the whole situation - and how it's playing out? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I definitely think that she does like you. Like, you were her number one and you've stayed in that position. I haven't heard her talk about any other guy. - Really? Really? - No, not once. - That is good, that is good. - Yeah. Do you feel like you, right now, have, like, a stronger, like, attraction to one of them? Definitely I would say attraction-wise, you know, it's definitely Deb. I haven't really learned that much about Valerie yet. - Exactly. - And, like, I know a lot about Deb, and that's why I'm so... Yeah, there's still a bit more there, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm really attracted to that because of that. Did you see me smiling from ear to ear? I'm like... Like, I am so... Val is so happy to be with you, and I love seeing that for her. But, like, I definitely do still want to see you and Deb get to know each other because it's just like... It's just there. Like, the second you came - she was like... - Right, exactly, exactly. She was like... That's a bit indistinct, you know. Yes. Yes, exactly, I know. - Yeah, I'm happy, too. - Yeah. For sure. Hi, sexy. You're happy? - Yes, I am happy. - indistinct? Yeah, you did actually. Yes. I'm very happy. So, like, your goal today is to talk to Jesse? Mm-hmm. So I think that's going to be my priority. I kind of feel like I almost need to, like, start flirting with more people, but I don't know who. I'm really like, How am I gonna have a connection with anyone else? Yeah. I feel the same way. He looks fucking hot today, too. It's just so weird, like, whenever there's another girl involved, I'm always just, like... I take the back seat. - I get it. - So, yeah. Because I just... I don't know. I was, like, telling the girls earlier, we had, like, a morning chat. And the girls were like, Oh, it's so cute. Like, I woke up and you guys were, like, in the morning, like, cuddling. Yeah. And I was like, Yeah, it feels good. Like, I don't know how to explain it, you know what I mean? It's like a comfort. Like... - Feels comfortable. - Yeah, that's good. I'm glad you feel that way, too. I'm glad you're happy. I'm glad I'm happy. I don't really feel any way about anybody else more than I feel about you. You know what I mean? - Feels like a good match. - Yeah. - It's definitely a good match. - Like, it feels, like, right. It's definitely a good match. Like, I obviously, don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings and all that. But I'm just like, ugh, it's like I almost have to. Because it sucks because you see how happy she is. Yeah. She's, like, so excited about him and I don't want to take that away from her. But at the same time, I can't think like that, unfortunately. I mean, yeah, 'cause that's what happened with you. I know! Jesse, like, he literally has, like, all the qualities in a man I look for, so I'm obviously in a sticky situation with Val and it sucks. But now that I've sat with it and thought about it and actually have seen them getting on, I'm like, Oh, I might like him. I might want to see where it could go. And you took me Took me where I never knew You saved me I look at you and you don't give me any thought of like, Mm, I don't know if I can't trust him, you know what I mean? It's completely the opposite. I don't know you that well yet, but from what you show me, I feel like I trust you. You know what I mean? I just... I don't know. You seem very genuine so I'm glad that we're like that. I'm glad you feel that way, Val, for sure. I'm really happy with the decision that I made, obviously. I was, like, nonstop, like, smiling. - Yeah, me, too. - I can't believe - how it happened. - Yeah, I know. It was so unexpected but it's still... Like, it's good, so... Yeah, it's a story still being written, you know? Exactly. I can't wait to keep writing these pages in with you. You know, I'm excited to, you know, keep building our relationship, man, because you are dope and, like, you fine as hell. laughing Yeah, thank you. We are here to be selfish. We're here to have friends, but, like, we're here ultimately to find our connection, you know? So it's like, someone's probably going to get hurt. Bleeding Fingers' Promises to Lies playing To lies Welcome back to Love Island USA. Yeah. laughing And Namaste. I do a bit of spiritual guruing in my spare time. I actually gave Deb a powerful mantra to help her get over her heart eak. both eathing deeply chanting Men ain't shit. Another one. Men ain't shit. Men ain't shit. laughing Exactly. I needed that, thank you. Valerie is cutting that orange with a worryingly large knife, Andy's standing by to grab some juice, while our medical team are standing by to reattach her fingers. Oh, you just... I would've sliced my hand open - right there doing that. - Yeah, same here. You're like a fucking wizard over here. Are you serious? Have you talked to him much today? I say yeah. He was not, like... I think he just doesn't have the emotional maturity that a man has yet, which is understandable, he might just not have as much experience as other people so he doesn't know how to, like, talk, you know? He's got a good head on his shoulder... No, he does, he's independent, he has his own thing going on for sure. But I think, like, having emotional maturity is a thing, you know what I mean? And I think he might be lacking that a little bit, but it just comes from not having enough experience. And when I think... When I mean emotional maturity, I mean, things like being able to express yourself. Being able to express your feeling. His guard is very up, but it's like, o, we came here to put the guards down. We're here to talk about feelings, unfortunately. I can't read this man. Like, I really can't. Like I'm just going with the flow with him at this point. Like, it is what it is. There's definitely undeniable chemistry there for sure. But it would be nice, like, to get some more clarity on, like, where his head's at or something. I don't know. I feel like I've tested the waters and... I mean, I feel like the only one that I feel, like, a connection with is- Jesse. Yeah. Cutting up freaking fruit salad here. I know. I wish... I wish we had a watermelon. Oh, avo. Nice work. Yeah, a little seed in there. Since his date with Mady and Valerie, Felipe spent absolutely no time with Sereniti. Luckily Hank's ironic neon sign store do same day delivery. I don't want to catch you in the wrong way. What you mean? You have to attend to me, please. I tried to kiss you last night in the bed. I say good night and then come... smooching Oh, I didn't even do that. Because I was like... I like it when people do that. I just didn't want you think that like, oh... -I'm a straight shooter- -I know. So that's why I was like, I don't have a problem. - So sorry. - No, no, no, no. I would never reject one of those. No, I'm not saying you did. I'll never reject one of those. But just please, if you don't understand anything, ask me, because I know sometimes my English - is confusing. - Yeah. Felipe and I are definitely a friendship couple. I don't think I have the personality to be his little boo thang. We're going to be real close friends. I enjoy being friends with him. We're able to have conversations, joke around, stuff like that. We're friends. Good old buddy, old pal, partner. laughing Right. So, what's your mission today? I going to share it with Courtney. This is... I don't fall in love easily, you know? Yeah, well, this is Love Island, baby. You got a... It's not going to be a three-month thing. I know that. That's something maybe you're going to have to adjust to a little bit. No, I know. So... so how are you feeling? What's going on? I wanted to talk to you, but I guess I was waiting for the right moment. Honestly, I feel like with my decision... I'm not going to lie to you, I was definitely going to pick you. But I felt uneasy about that decision. I definitely want to make sure I'm, like... coupled up with someone that, like... A little more than just, like, physical attraction. Like, after our conversation, I felt, like, really attracted to you, you know? But I didn't know if we were on the same level, like, mentally. Um... And when I had the conversation with... with Jesse, like, literally the first thing he said was, One thing that caught my eye and I liked about you is that when you walk into a room, your presence is known. I feel like he takes my personality and he understands me, and he, like... is like... He likes who I am, as I am, you know what I mean? And I feel like that's kind of like, I guess, like, what I was looking for. - Right. - And he just, like, automatically, like, gave me that. - Jesse's a fucking sweetheart. - He is so nice. - Oh, my God. - But he just gives me... I don't think there's a flaw in that man. That's what I'm fucking saying. I'm like... I feel like everything just happened - the way it was supposed to. - There's sparks, for sure. Like, you can't lie when there's some chem, you know? I know. I know. But, like, I don't know. I don't know. Like, me and Sydney are vibing right now. You should let your guard down a little for her, though. - I know. I know. - I think she really likes you. I just need a vibe more. That's all I'm saying is, I feel so... so rushed. Last night with... The whole thing with Sydney, probably definitely came out a little too strong. I haven't been in a relationship for almost, you know, three years. And so maybe just kind of, like, forgot how to approach things, you know what I'm saying? How sensitive people can be and how people can take things a certain way. But at the end of the day, if I'm catching feelings for someone, I'm going to get to the nitty gritty. You know, I definitely can't lie. That is probably... I'm a little immature for sure. I didn't want it to be weird between us or anything. No, like, I definitely felt some, like, you know, awkwardness, especially, like... I know. Me, too. Me too. So I was like, okay, like, I need to talk to him and just lay it out. So, it's good, you know. Good vibes. - Don't forget your phone. - Oh, my God. My ass is, like, stuck to this thing. - Give me a hug. - Yeah. You know. I'm glad that it's calm, though, at least today. - I'm glad. For now. - For a bit. The tree house is fitted with a deadly military grade laser at precisely 4'6. Oh, my God. If Zeta stands up straight, it will slice her head clean off. We take security seriously on this show. Hidden talent. Oh, okay. This is nice, you know. Oh, my God, Z. - You're so cozy. - Yeah. Yeah. - Things seem really good. - Yeah. When things are good, it's like, all right, something's going to happen. - Yeah. - laughing - Sabotaging myself sometimes. - Yeah. Just in my own... I feel like you might be the same, but I'm pretty intense. - I think, like, within myself. - Yeah. I feel like I do all these calculations for some - simple ass situation. - Yeah. Oh, so many ways this could go the way and I'm not gon' meet nobody that I could actually talk to and then boom, I'm standing next to you giggling. I know. You laughing at my dumb ass dad jokes, I'm like, Oh, perfect. Your dad jokes are lovely. What do you call a girl with one eye and one leg? Oh, my God, what? Eileen. - Oh, my God! - both laughing - That's funny. - Touchdown. - Come on, it's not bad. - That's a dad joke. - That's really funny. - You like that joke? Oh, you like that joke. I like your jokes, Timmy. I really don't even feel like I have the appropriate words for him. I feel like any words that I would be using for him would actually be, like, doing him a disservice. I feel like we need better words in the English language to describe him. I just love his energy and who he is. Aw. Love is just a scary feeling sometimes. Just knowing that you're putting yourself in a place to, like, not only be dealing with your emotions, but to be juggling someone else's as well. It does move so fast in here. Like, I'd rather have a oken leg than deal with heart eak. So you love hard once it gets to it? Once I'm... once I'm loving, it's just like, oh, my God, I'm full on. With me and Zeta, my guard is on, like, a 30-minute lunch eak, you know, they chilling. So, like, she's kind of seeing how I ride. Obviously, she's amazing. You know, the physical aspect, she checks all the boxes. And, you know, this is a person that I could trust. I feel comfortable showing some things about myself to. Talking to you is so nice. Very nice, isn't it? Where'd you come from? What did they find you? - They dug me up from LA. - They build you in a lab? laughing I feel the energy is taking over I'm gonna lose control Welcome back to Love Island USA. To seduce Felipe, Courtney's drenched herself in a powerful new perfume, Desperation. I don't think Sydney and Andy are fans. Hey, girl, come sit. - Hi. - Hello. I saw you guys are talking, and it looked, like, serious. So, I was leaving you. - It's always serious. - I know, right? - Enjoy the business. - Okay. - Does anybody want water? - Yeah. - I'll come up with you. - Okay. - How are you doing? - Good. Good. How are you feeling? I feel good with everything. But I could just feel this, like, sexual tension. Like, kind of. I don't know. - Did you feel that? - I know, I know. - Do you know what I mean? - Yeah, I know. Like, there's, like, kind of something there, but, like, we haven't really talked, you know? The eyes talk more than the words. Yeah, right? And also in the challenges, you also has a good kiss... Yeah, you, too. You know, something pushing me there, but I don't know what I can expect, you know? - Or how to approach it. - Yeah. - I'm hoping for that. - Yeah. With Felipe, it's obviously, like, sexual. Like, he is, like, really hot. I would like to end up, like, sharing a bed with him. And yeah, just getting to know him more. Well, now I feel better, like, you know, I feel comfortable now. Even though I'm, like, still, like, getting to know, like, all the other guys and stuff, I just feel like my connection I want to pursue right now is, like, mostly with you, like, romantically. But, like, how do you feel? - I'm happy. - Yeah, me, too. Yeah. Andy and Mady are chatting at the pool. Fun fact: the grass area around the pool is actually a putting green. See if you can guess where the hole is. What's an average day in the life in Oklahoma City? - Mm. Wake up. - Yup. Make my coffee. I do iced coffee. So, I do milk, ice and then a little bit of vanilla. Okay. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And today I can just kind of relax and enjoy the moment. Just, like, spending time with Andy. He makes me feel really good. So, I'm definitely glad that we're coupled up. I have a cat. Did I tell you that? No. I'm definitely a dog guy, I will say. I tried having a dog, a puppy once. What happened? It's a lot to, like, raise puppy by yourself. - It's literally like a baby. - Yeah. But it was just within 24 hours, and I found a family for it and made sure it had, like, a really good home. Yeah, I was like, Yeah, I don't think I'm ready. - Yeah. - cellphone chimes My sister just got a dog, and, like, it's the one that you just got to... Wait? No, it wasn't. Sorry, it was a heat advisory. - Oh, my... - Yeah, no. False alarm. She should stick that phone somewhere chilly and dark. Her cold, lonely bed would be perfect. Ooh, it's ight up here. Sydney's with waiter Isaiah. And what a waiter! There's one toilet in the villa. Today he waited for over two hours. That man has the patience of a saint. - How are you feeling this AM? - Good. Little bit better. I feel like I have a clear head. I think I was just very overwhelmed with what was happening. And I think, like, the way that the communication happened, - like, wasn't the best. - Absolutely. That was a... Communication was shit. And I think that, like, triggered me because in a past relationship, like... I don't want to cry. You're okay, let it out. You're good. My first relationship was really bad that way, like... he, like, manipulated me a lot. And just, like, emotionally, like, it triggered me. Like, the way it all went down. So, I think that's why I just felt very overwhelmed because I was just like... I saw, like, parallel shit. - You know what I mean? - I am sorry. I want you to know that why I said that dumb shit was really just because, like, I really am into you. And I wouldn't be, you know... Wouldn't be saying things like that, if I didn't care about you, you know what I'm saying? I know. But that not the way to... I was just... I told you, it was immature. It was me saying shit in the wrong way. It was just... It was dumb as fuck. Me and Sydney are definitely a little rocky right now. You know, I kind of threw a couple twigs in the fire, and it's kind of slowly, slowly burning up. I don't want that to make her drift away or vice versa. I love your vibe. I really do. - Thank you. - I do. I like yours, too. I definitely tend to go for, like, bad boys. Like, I've always done it. But I should never have to apologize for being myself.

Previously, on Love Island USA... The boy I would like to couple up with is Andy. Jesse. When I had you to myself You are now single. At the end of the week anyone left single will be dumped from the island. And one boy may not be ready to let go. Attraction-wise, it is definite there.

Where you at, where you at? Oh, my gosh! That was crazy. Oh, man! That was fucking crazy! That was fun, man! I'm glad we got this shit lit, man, you know? Well, I just wanted to see, where your head was at with that. You know, I would say meeting you, I want to get to know you a little bit more. I feel like we really haven't had time to really get to know each other, so I get that, too. Yeah, so I really want to get to know you a little bit more and just learn about you, honesty, and see what's up because obviously the connection's there, you know? Honestly, like, I'm not lying whenever I tell you I really... I'm not interested in anybody else but you. So I guess maybe that's bad for me. But I know you do have a strong connection with, like, Deb, I know, I get that, yeah. You guys were together from the first day. Would you say, like, right now... Would you actually rather be coupled up with her? I wouldn't necessarily say that. No, you just feel like you have a stronger connection just because you've known her better than me or like... Yeah, I know her a lot better than I know you. But, like, physically, I'm, like, entirely attracted to you. And then, you got an intelligence about you, you know what I'm saying? You're smart as fuck, so... I just want to know, like, should I be worried or not? You know what I mean? I want to make sure that you want to be with me. Okay, well, Valerie, I want you to know - that I fucking like you. - Okay. I'm very happy to fucking be in the position that I'm in. Okay. I like sharing a bed with you. I like being coupled up with you. - You are fine as fuck. - Okay. Yes, I want to be coupled up with you, honestly. - Okay. - I do. Mm-hmm. Deb is off for a chat with Zeta. And just to be clear, Zeta's second word ends in the letter P. I ship you and Jesse so hard. Val's lovely, it has nothing to do with that. Like, I know that you like Jesse. - Yeah. - Yeah. And I know that you don't really, like, speak up. Yeah, I know, I've literally all day felt like I was pacing around, literally talking to every other person besides him. I small chatted with him and I said, If you had to choose right now who you're just more attracted to, who would you say? And he was like, Deb, like, no hesitation. You need to just let things be known because I don't want to see you leave. I know. You're so right. I need to be selfish which I'm usually not. But you have to be. You can't not be selfish in here. Last thing you want to do is go home and be like, Why the fuck did I care about anybody else? Exactly, for sure I'm going to try to make out with him tonight. laughing I'm like, I need to just do something to solidify this. I like that, though. You need this. - Lock it in. - Yeah. Thank you. I don't know the deal with Isaiah and Sydney, but I do know that Jebediah's World of Wicker is completely sold out of basket lanterns. At first, after last night I was a bit like... You know, like, Fuck you, right? laughing Yeah, but that's just how I am because I'm hotheaded. But I feel like I made that kind of clear. But, like, obviously, I got over myself. I was being, like... I was, like, heated for a while. - I understand, you... - But I was telling you, like... You can definitely feel how you feel. Yeah, but that just kind of shows that I do care if I'm pressed, you know what I mean? Usually, if that were to happen I wouldn't have even told you I was upset. I would have just never talked to you again... - Really? - Yeah. I, like, am a big ghoster. But I felt like... You know, you said you kind of wanted your space and I told... You know what I mean, I felt like the ball was definitely in your court. But I definitely did pull you aside because I definitely wanted to clear things up and I definitely wanted to talk to you for sure. He got caught major slipping last night being this intense guy. But I don't know, I've only seen, like, a sweet side of him since. I don't really feel like doing this with no one else. Like, I don't think the vibe is really there with no one else. That shows me a lot, actually. giggles I don't know... I don't know, I like spending time with you, it makes me... It gives me, like, butterflies. - I get a little bit nervous. - Really? Yeah. laughing I lowkey be speaking the truth. You know, all day today I was on edge. My stomach was kind of turning. But, like, I definitely cleared things up and the vibe is definitely getting back and I'm happy for that. Her lips taste good. Yeah, you good... You good at kissing, that's for damn sure. And I'm good with my mouth. You might think Jesse is about to use exactly the same script he used with Val earlier, but it's nothing like it. He's changed the name Val to Deb throughout. laughing You have a good time with the little truth or dare? - laughing Yeah. - laughing Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. I was like, Was that our hurdle that we needed? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we definitely... I think we got over that hump a little bit. laughing Whatever. This is real tough for me right now. I want to get to know Valerie a little bit more, but I have Deb who really relates to me. I am just lost in the sauce, I feel like, right now. laughing Like, I don't want to be the cause of someone else's, like, pain. But I feel like I have to be selfish, - which is, like, not me. - Yeah. But I'm like, I have to... giggles I have to go after, right? Yeah, you got to go after it. Like we said, we've gotta step into the indistinct. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, I think... I think that, you know, I barely even know her. So you kinda just want to get to know her more to see. Yeah, I gotta get to know her a little bit more and, you know, just test the water there. Genuinely, I care about you. I care about how you feel. I don't want you to be sad, I want you to be happy. I still feel, like, shy and, like, giddy around him. So I'm like, okay, that kind of tells me that we, like, do have a connection, but it's just like, Give me something! This is the most I've talked about my feelings, like, my whole life. My whole life. I've never said this much. - And this sucks. - Exactly. Like, good Lord, I can write a book. I know. - Ugh! - laughing Right. sighs I need a therapist.

Maybe manifestation really works. I mean, he's definitely my type, and he's so mature and he's smart. I'm just like, Damn! Andy's going to have to grow his hair out. Man, I wish I had some hair like that! I love his fucking hair, o. Shit! We should all, like, show so much interest that they start, Oh, my God! What should we do?

So I guess, you know, it's just a nice little swift kick in the pants that we all might need. Pressure makes diamonds, baby. Tyler's got the boys running scared. They're terrified he'll steal their thunder, steal their girls, and worst of all, steal their conditioner. Motherfucking fellas, man. What's up? What it do? sighs We got Tarzan with the nice long ass hair or something. I'm like, Oh, boy, what do we got going on today? What would you feel if he starts pressing up on Mady? If he kind of went for Mady? Yeah, I'm going to press up a little bit. When pressure's applied I'm going to apply it right back. Let's say Tyler starts pressing up on Val, are you going to be like, Yeah, I gotta apply - some more pressure, too? - Yeah, 'cause, you know, every day here could be your last so, you know? - Okay! - Yeah. You're happy to be here? Yeah, I'm having a good time. Everybody's been super nice, super cool. I'm really loving your energy, you know? - Thank you. - What do you think about Deb? Deb's cute. Yeah. She's definitely good-looking. I definitely gotta pull her for a chat today. You see, if he press down on Deb, I'm definitely pressing down, you know? - Islanders laughing - Yeah. grunting I like that, o. Yeah, I'm definitely worried about a new guy entering the villa. It leaves a lot of room for Val or Deb to get swooped on. He's a good-looking man, got a great set of hair. So I got to apply some pressure and really try to secure my spot, you know, before I lose my spot. Jesse, he's telling me that he likes me. He's saying that, but, like, I don't know if I should believe it. Like, we do hold hands and we cuddle here and there, but, like, I don't really feel like he's showing any, like, much effort to, like, getting to know me or show me a lot of attention. Well, spice things up and pull Tyler for a chat. I do want to talk to him. Care if we go for a chat, Val? - For sure, we can. - cellphone chimes - Oh, my God! No. - Oh, shit! I got a text! Islanders screaming I got text! Islanders pucker up for today's game Kissing Booth. SpitSwap LipsDontLie. - screaming - I get to kiss! Let's go, baby! Oh, my God! Yes! How nasty and exciting. Whoo! I'm running wild Welcome back to Love Island USA. Quick recap: Mady and Valerie stole Deb and Courtney's boys. And Deb and Courtney stole our truth or dare game, now we are stealing their kissing contest. Is that childish? No, you're childish. Let's do this! I kissed a girl and I liked it The boys will be blindfolded while wearing noise-canceling headphones. She's going in. The girls will make their way down the line, laying their saucy smackers on each boy. After the saliva swap, the boys rate each kiss out of 10. Tasty. Eight. The girl with the most points wins agging rights and a nasty case of stubble rash. It felt so wrong, it felt so right Taste like honey. We like honey. No, I don't even know your name It doesn't matter Yeah. That shit was fire. That's all I got to say. 10 out of 10 for me. Isaiah gave me a 10, and I don't know if he knew it was me. So, I think with this one, I'm just going to let myself feel good about it. 53.5. I kissed a girl and I liked it The taste of her cherry Chapstick You know, whoever that was, I need to keep them humble. So I'm going to say a 9.5. But that was fire. And it was a nice steady pace. Steady pace wins the race, yerr? Yeah, I'm going to give that one a 9, too. The only reason it's not a 10 is because it had to end. girls exclaiming Us girls, we are so magical Soft skin, red lips, so kissable My only complaint, the only one is I'm not used to tilt my head left going in for the kiss. I'm used to right. I really liked that kiss. It's very poetic. Nine out of 10. Ooh, a poetic kiss. Valerie, like, is coupled up with the guy I like. So, I'm hoping that a little tongue, a little biting action is going to stir some shit up. Too good to deny it Ain't no big deal, it's innocent - That was my 10. - Yeah! Wow. I am very honored to be able to receive a kiss like that. That I gotta go 10 out of 10. Rated her higher. I was like, Ugh! Like, I just feel like I just can't win right here. laughter That was damn near perfect. Man, these girls are something else. They got a guy going crazy in here. The taste of her cherry Chapstick That's a 9 right there. She had that, like, the car wiper action, like, side to side. She took me on a ride, yo. laughter The winner... Valerie! cheering I was expecting to win. I would say that. That's one thing that I've always gotten complimented on. And I guess it was true. It's the boys turn to engage in what is called the French kiss. Very different to the way you kiss your mum, which is called the Mother Pucker. - It's kinky. - Yeah. Okay, I'm feeling myself New fit, who's this, top shelf All wins, ain't taking taking no L's I'm a prize, no L, no 10s, just 12s Lips taste like a homegrown meal from... from my grandma. You know what I'm saying? They just... it's just like... exhaling Oh, my... When I walk in, everybody knows, oh Hey, don't kiss my girl. How I do, how it is, how it goes - God damn, Uncle Sam. - I really liked it. It was definitely giving, like, stripper, Like, seductive. Stripper kisses like... I'm a showstopper Basically, you say you kissed a stripper before, right? - I don't kiss and tell. - Aha. So, show me what you got, baby Yeah, yeah Well, hot damn, diggity jam. Come on, come on, show me what you got, baby Courtney, what's up? How was that kiss? Like a 6.5? I just needed more, like, fuck me against the wall right now kind of energy. And I was getting, like, we've been married for 10 years. - Yeah. - No offense. I got a little fanny flutters there. I liked that. That's a nine for me. laughing Valerie, let me get that review. I'mma have to go with an 8. I feel like I was a bit generous. Probably would have been, like, a little lower if I didn't know it was him. I like more aggression maybe. Come on, come on, show me what you got, baby It's like, Open your mouth, please. Now new boy Tyler gets a chance to, uh, introduce himself to each of the girls. This is gonna happen Now, baby, don't be sorry Knocked my socks off. Definitely got to step my game up with Tyler here. I mean, look at the guy, man. He looks like Tarzan. You're a bad one, I can tell I don't want nobody else - Deb, what's up? - I like this game. 9.5. I got a bite in there, that was hot. I could get into some trouble with that kiss. I'm going to give it a solid nine. I can't wait to do it again. Enough said. I don't feel Tyler is a competition for me. I like this game, you know. So, let's see how it's going to be. Best thing that I ever had I just want that feeling back Ooh, it's getting spicy in Love Island. Just relax, just check yourself Tell me where you want to go All night long Baby, why don't we go? I'm, like, still not okay from it. I would rate that one a 9.5. If that went longer, it would have led to other things, though. Yeah. Oh, God. I only have one word and it's Damn. I think that might be the best kiss I've ever had in my life. 10 for me. I'm gonna give it a six because it was just, like, cute. Yeah, it was... Yeah. laughing It felt like a sword fight, a little bit. It was like dagger tongue, you know? Yeah. sighs clicking tongue It was definitely a good kiss, but, um... I think there could have been, like, a little bit more something. Okay. Got you. laughs usquely I think we don't need to talk about the kissing competition a whole lot more. Take it home. I have been told I'm a good kisser. I'm going to continue to feel confident 'til otherwise proven different. You make me feel the way you should But I dream about something we could do sighs We could take our time The way he was touching me, it was, like, very sensual. Like, that man really knew what he was doing. Get it on, get it on, get some My baby Zeta at the end, I kind of gave a little extra pumpkin spice, yerr? We could take our time I feel like that's Timmy's. I know his kisses. He's passionate kisser and he's very, like, hands-on when he wants to be. So yeah. That was like a 12 for me. So, I guess a 10, if that's the highest it can go. I loved everything. I didn't want it to stop. I just hope it's who I think it is. It's a 10 for sure. Easy peasy. 10 it is. I'm feeling pretty sexually aroused right now. Definitely got butterflies down there. I'm going to go 9.5. - Okay. - Good on you, lads. - Yeah. - I want more of that. All right. Happy camper. And our boy who scored the most and is in first place is... - Timmy. - Damn. - cheering - Timmy? I literally thought it was a new guy in the building because I was like, Who the fuck is this? Like... That's what I'm talking about. - Speech! Speech! - Speech! Speech! Your speech, just say, You're welcome. I've been practicing all my life for this moment. And, you know, I just... I'm glad to share it with you guys. And I'm glad y'all were watching. laughing That's it. Welcome back to Love Island USA. It was an afternoon spent blindfolded, wondering who's kissing you. But enough about my nan's 80th, the boys and girls are comparing notes. Hell of a game, man. Hell of a game. I ain't got no complaints, o. I'mma definitely get some lessons from my guy, Timmy. Timmy's kiss was really, really good. - Yeah. - I think... I just think... That's because he was the only one that touched, though. If they had all went for the ass grabbing, I would have been like, Come here. The way y'all got the motion. I mean, you know... I need some lessons. Step one is, like, I have lips. I have lips. So, like, that's just biology. I was born like this. And then from there, like, you just dance to the rhythm of the beat. You feel me? Kissing is like... It's like a flow. - You know what I'm saying? - Literally, o. - Like this... - Yum. Yum, yum. Tongue. laughing Okay. Okay. Jesse's kiss for me was literally like... I want to just show you all, okay? I felt like I was kissing a 12-year-old boy, like... It wasn't the best kiss I've ever had in my life. I think Tyler's was better, but I just felt it more. I liked Tyler's kiss. - I was like, Damn. - Yeah. Jesse's still definitely my number one. But the best kiss of the day for me was Tyler. Yeah, he's hot. I like him. He can stay. But how was your experience, my guy? Solid first day, you kissed everybody, o. - Yeah. - Yeah. Shit. Which one did you... You was like, Oh, yeah, this is the one. Bro, low key, Deb. Mm. Val. Mady, too. Yeah, you know, I've always said that I don't really have a type, but... I really start to gravitate towards the blondes, I think. But then Hurricane Val came and she definitely knows what she's doing. Felipe came in hot, you know. - I felt that in my bones. - Yeah. I love that all the other girls loved kissing Felipe. I think it's hot. I give credit where it's due. I'm all for that. Later we have to play this game again. To see if we improve some scores. Yeah. This show is never predictable. Usually at this point we'd have a getting ready montage. But because new boy Tyler's here, we've mixed things up. And we're having a getting ready montage with Tyler in it. See? I got my head out the sunroof I'm blasting our favorite tunes I only got one thing on my mind - How you feeling, o? - Feeling good, man, how you feeling? I just want to have a connection already. I want a boyfriend. I want a boyfriend so bad. Love really is the strongest thing on the planet. I'm done being a ho. I don't want to be a ho. I think everyone deserves to have, like, their version of a fairy tale. Oh, yeah, it's giving. It's giving. Yeah, we're driving down the freeway at night I only got one thing in the back of my mind Isaiah had attempted to tell me his feelings today. I'mma pack one and I'mma dip the shit. Then I'm gonna... - And he said... - Wait, he did? That he likes me and that... Reverse it and then I'm gonna... He asked me if he could, like, put some more pressure on, like, me being his girl or whatever. - Aw! - Aw! Take a video and I'mma clip this shit. laughing I just want to find someone, like, that, like, fucking wants me. Okurr. - Boys are stupid. - laughing I'm blasting our favorite tunes And she's ready.

Search Love Island USA on TikTok to find loads of exclusive content and all the latest juicy gossip from the villa everyone's talking about. Swerve Island, we out. Welcome back to Love Island USA. I've got a feeling the new boy is going to tear the roof off this villa. But don't worry, he is a Tyler, so he can stick it straight back on. Y'all excited to talk to anybody out here? You know, who you sniping first? Deb, honestly. I would definitely say, like, Deb is at the top of my list. It just like felt like a spark with her, I would say. And then Sereniti, definitely very easy on the eyes. But Val, after that kiss, o, was just, like, eye-opening. I was like, Whoa. - Whoa! - Literally, o. I was like, What the hell? Hell, yeah. We got to step up our game, man. You know, get on our shit. You know, Tyler's into Deb and Val. So, if I don't make a decision here soon, he's definitely going to swoop up on me. And, you know, I don't want him to choose for me. He's going to talk to Deb. - How you feel about that? - I got to get on my shit. You know what I am saying? How are you going to tell Deb how you feel? I'mma always have a soft spot for Deb. She never really left the number one spot in my heart, you know what I'm saying? I don't wanna disrespect Val in any type of way. More and more, though, it's just like... Deb. I say tonight you let her know, o. If you really want Deb... I mean, o, because he about to apply the pressure, o. So, I'm just saying, like, yo, if that's what you want, you might want to do that before she start looking some other type of way, o. Hell yeah. I mean, I can't play with the food on the table, you know, for too long. - It gets cold and stale. - Gonna get cold. Someone's going to heat that shit up. Tough, o, it's tough. Do you want to talk? Well, no, I was going to talk to Jesse. Oh, can I talk to you, though? - Oh, yeah. - Yeah. I just wanted to see, like, where you're head's at. Cause I'm, like, kind of... I feel like I'm getting, like, such mixed signals from Jesse. I don't know, I'm obviously feeling, like, very vulnerable, and, like, I have a strong connection with him, and I just, like, want you to, like, be honest. Honestly, like, with me, like... Like, if I wasn't feeling him, I would, like, say it. I mean, it's not like I'm not, like, feeling him at all, 'cause I am. It's just like, I haven't had the chance to get where I want to get with him. - Yeah. - You know, that is the issue. You know what threw me off a little bit was you said that, like, you and him have a strong connection and, like, he told me that, like, he and I also do. And then like, Zeta was telling me that, like, he ranks me, like, as his number one. And so, I just want to like- He told me he ranked me as his number one. Okay. This could be the downfall Like, if there was to be a recoupling, like, would you actually pick me? And he was like, Yes, I would. - Oh, he said that? - Yeah. He's like, I am very much physically attracted to you and I feel like I can learn so much from you. Like, intellectually, like, you're such a smart girl. Right, that's interesting because Zeta told me that he literally said, like, the exact same thing about me. If he's telling you the same thing he's telling me, it's like, okay, how do we know which one's true? And at the same time he's like, Why would he be telling us the same thing in the first place? I'm feeling very much disrespected right now. Apparently, this whole time Jesse has been telling me and Deb the same things. And everybody knew except for me. Don't tell us the same motherfucking thing. - Hey, Deb. - Hi. - You wanna go for a chat? - Yeah. - You're good. - No, you are good. Okay. You all right? I just really wanted to talk to Valerie because I feel like she's, like, all over him. She chose him. He may feel obligated to continue that without feeling like a dickhead. - Right. - It's no excuse. Jesse does need to be called out. This could be the downfall This could be the end of it all This could be the downfall Welcome back to Love Island USA. Couple Val and Jesse are headed to the Treehouse. Val's smiling because she knows exactly what's about to happen. And Jesse's smiling because he has no idea what's about to happen. First, I want to know how you're feeling. Yeah, I feel great. I'm happy to share a bed with you, to be coupled up with you. I mean, look at you. You know what I mean? - Do you mean that, though? - Yes. You know, I said I needed to get to know you better and we hit it off so fucking fast. You really sparked and caught my eye real fucking fast, like that. Honestly, I just didn't come here to be in a trouple. I feel like that's what I'm in right now. A trouple? A triangle or trouble? Like a trouple. Like a three people couple. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. That's what I feel like I'm doing. 'Cause it's really hard for me whenever I'm, like, with the girls and they all mention how much... Oh, my God, Jesse just likes Deb so much. And then I literally just had a conversation with her, and she told me that you told her that she's your number one. Why didn't you tell me that from the beginning? Hundred percent honest with you... Because if I had known, I wouldn't have like, literally like... You wouldn't have picked me. Don't you come back no more I feel like I was being lied to. That's how I feel like right now. Because the other day you told me I would pick you. You said, Yeah, I have a strong connection with Deb. But I would pick you. You told me that. Hit the road, Jack And don't you come back no more No more, no more, no more I said me and Deb have a strong connection. It's definitely undeniable. I know I told you that's never going to change. That's what I'm saying. And that's what I know... I want to know where I stand. And I want you to be honest with me. Don't you come back no more What you say? If I led you on, I'm truly sorry. I don't mean to do that at all. So now you're saying you're coupled with her? I am. All right, so that's all I need to know. What you say? Hit the road So, one day you feel one of us, and then the other day you feel the other one? How the fuck does that make sense? Like, I feel like he just definitely just wasn't straight up. Like, he literally just didn't have the balls to say shit how it was. Don't you come back no more What you say? I said, Bye, Jesse. Don't you come back no more I'm over it. Peace out. Don't you come back Don't you come back Don't you come back no more On Sunday night... it's decision time for one girl... while one boy is on the prowl. Tell me about yourself, though. I haven't got to talk to you yet. Yeah. It's good news for me because you're at the top of my list. And the first re-coupling sends one Islander packing. Where do we go from here? >>>>oakislandtk www.opensubtitles.org

Good to know, good to know. So you guys have a certain particular type that you guys go for? I'm really just looking for someone who, you know, pursues me and makes me feel special and puts forth effort. - Yeah. - For me, I would say I'm a sucker for tattoos. - Yeah. For sure. I mean, kinda like part of the deal, I'd say, but... - Yeah. - How many tattoos do you have? - I got, like, three or four. - Oh, you got tattoos? I got a couple tattoos, yeah, yeah. - Only three or four? - Yeah, about three or four. You know, got a little chest... Yeah. Three or four, like, giant size, you know, like...

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you. - You guys can call me Val. - I'm Mady. - Nice to meet you. - Hi! Another blonde! - I'm Mady. - You look amazing. - Thank you. Both absolutely beautiful girls, I will say. Mady is... is definitely my type. I like blonde, blue eyes. - Hey, how you doing? - Hey, how are you? - Valerie. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you. You know, both pretty attractive women, and, you know, the more, the merrier. I think... I think that's a beautiful thing. Zeta... I still, you know, rocking and rolling, but, you know, everything looks good. Get near the fire. Aw, thank you, Mama. Mady, I feel like is my conjoined twin. It's gonna be interesting. Hey, how'd that date go, though? Yeah, how was your guys'... Who went out with who? Yeah, it was definitely a good time to get to know each other. Do you have anyone that you like from look-wise, think you would have picked to go on the date if you had your own choice? Honestly, I feel like everybody's, like, attractive. I mean, if okay, if I were to go by type-type, I usually would go with guys who had tattoos. I mean, I only see his arm tattooed. Felipe ain't got no tattoos. I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, honestly, I'm not gonna lie to you. It's really hard to tell for me. Like, I'm happy where, you know, where Felipe and I stand, but then again, I was actually thinking my couple was in jeopardy. That's the risk of dating someone that's a hot commodity. I am a big personality person, but first impression, I'm gonna say Felipe. Cute. I mean, there's a little bit of, like, female dominance going on. Nothing too crazy, but I feel the tension a little bit. So how did you guys pick who was going on the date with us? So us guys, man, we all came to an executive decision, and you know, I-I like blondes, so I'm like, okay, I'll take the blonde, and that's how my decision happened, you know? Me and Timmy... we are talking, like, who is gonna go, because the guys decided to don't go. I chat with Timmy, and I didn't have much time to know about you. - Yeah, time is interesting. And then why I decided, like, I'm gonna go to check the girls with Jess. You know what? I-I appreciate you explaining that. I like Sereniti because for me, she's really open, and she say what she has in her mind. So I don't feel she got mad at all. You know, I can be wrong, but I don't feel on that way. So how was it with the girls when we left? Me, oh, my. I feel like I look like her. Yeah, Jesse, I guess, definitely has a type. Yeah. Yeah, how are you feeling about it, like, honestly? I mean, I'm fine. Like, I don't... I would, like, I don't care. - Yeah. - Like, I think it's great. - But definitely, like, little... But the fact he's like, I like blondes, and, like, I love to explore, and I was like, Can't just get all the blondes you want. It was cool, though. Like, I think Mady has a... A lot to offer, you know? But, like, going in there and meeting her, I honestly think me and Valerie would have a better connection than me and Mady would. I didn't even expect that, you know what I'm saying? - I did not expect that at all. - We just rambling right now. Nobody's locked into anything right now. - No. - Yeah, it's gon' be a good day tomorrow for sure. Those beds are looking hella nice, you know? I'm tired. Jesse's a big boy. He's gonna take up the whole bed, and I wanna sleep. - Are y'all cuddling tonight? - Are you a cuddler? No. Do y'all... do y'all share a bed? I think I'm gonna cry in bed tonight. I haven't been in bed with a guy in so long. Cleaning my mouth out, getting rid of all of my demons. Making my hairs in my pits smell good. - That'd be a good idea. - Yeah. 'Cause we're sleeping with the girls tonight. This is my sleep mask, but do you guys think I should? I think it might be too much. I don't wanna scare anyone off. The Islanders will share a bed with a stranger surrounded by 10 other people, like that dodgy Airbnb I once stayed at, all while being filmed by hidden cameras... like that dodgy Airbnb I once stayed in. Do you wanna get under the sheets, you and I? Just feel like... You feel like it's disrespectful? - Yeah. - Oh! I shouldn't be that comfortable. Is that when you start eating, before other people - get their food? - Yo, same concept. - You warming up yet? - Yeah. - Get in there. - Hey. Okay, come. Let's sleep. Good night. Welcome back to Love Island USA. This show is packed to the rafters with the latest technology, except in the bedroom, where for some reason, we're using black and white cameras from the 1940s. My mom told me if you make your bed, you have a good day. - Hey, Felipe, how'd you sleep? - Good morning. - I didn't sleep much. - What's your middle name? - Vieira. - Gator? - Vieira. - V... Like Darth Vader? - Cheers. - Cheers. Let's do another one. Oh, my God, yeah, this morning, when I woke up, and there was just, like, so many shirtless boys... Oh, my God. When I saw Jesse's body, I was like... - Oh, my. Jesse and Felipe. - Felipe's really cute. Felipe's really cute. Today's my actual first full day in the villa. Definitely wanna talk to everyone. I wanna talk to all the guys. Gonna get to know all of them. I definitely have a couple in mind that I'm kinda, like, liking. How did everyone sleep? Honestly, like, it was a really comfortable cuddle. Like, I... didn't, like, hate it. - You guys looked comfy. - He was really warm, and, like, I was freezing. Was the cuddle happening, like, most of the night? - The whole night. - You're joking. The whole night, bitches. I slept... Were you happy with that or no? Yeah, I mean, I was enjoying it. Like... I'm so happy about that for you. Since me and Sydney had that one-on-one, like, you kinda have to compare, o, the differences in between stuff with Sydney and, you know, Deb, or Sydney and somebody like that. So that's what I'm-a do for a little bit, you know? Lot of fish in the tank, o. - Isaiah? He's so cute. - He is. He's really cute. I mean, he's really... He just, like... - He looks like trouble. - Trouble. Yes, I feel like he wants to be trouble, you know what I mean? - Like... - Yeah. He's, like, definitely someone you have fun with. Sereniti, did you get any cuddles last night with Felipe? - Uh, yeah. - Did you really? Aw! - Stop it. - Yeah, it was really sweet. Oh, my gosh. Am I the only one who didn't get any cuddles last night? We had our legs, like, intertwined all night. It was very nice and cozy. - Really?! - Aw! - Cute. - Yeah. Deb, how are you feeling about Jess and... We didn't really, like, talk in bed or, like, anything. Like, I, like, asked him about the date, and I was, like, gonna ask him how he, like, felt about her, but I, like, got shy, so I didn't. - You, big man? - You know, uh... I got my eyes set on a couple women, you know? Uh... They all look very enticing, so... uh, I definitely wanna talk to Val. Nah, that's what today's about, man. We made the... You know, we gon' meet people today. - Uh-huh. - We gon' mingle. - It's Christmas, baby. - Yeah, that's for sure. Sereniti still wants to know where Felipe's head's at. Uh, Sereniti, Iain Stirling here to help. It's on his shoulders. Tell me the tea about your date. I know it was long, but let me get cozy. - You know, it was fun, you know? Yeah. Did you get mad about my date or no? No, I wasn't mad about the date. I think I was just, like, confused. Like, is he okay? Like, where'd he go? You know, of course, I'm, you know, wanna know the details. Not details, but just know, like... You wanna know where is my head at. You know, like, yeah. Yeah, and you know, I didn't... I didn't even know where you were at period. Between me and Sereniti now, I feel like we're still friends for now, nothing something more romantick-ing or anything. But I still don't know her much to be sure, um, which stage we are, you know? - I'm gonna talk with... - I know. What you got... - all the ladies. - Gotta have a talk. To know them. I like your personality, is the one I talk more, to be honest. I didn't talk much with the other girls, you know? For me, it's like, if I share to the girls, and a few are interesting, one of them, I'm gonna come to you and gonna say hey, you know? - Same. Same. Yeah. - Like... Yeah. You don't get that stress, you know? - No, no, no. - You know, so I like it that way, but you can ask to marry me, okay? - Aw, I have to propose? - I will accept. - You have to. - Oh, I don't know. It's a pass for me. Jesse's all about his five a day. Right now, as you can see, he's got an apple, and very close to it, a couple of plums. You happy we, uh, got to sleep in the bed together and stuff? - Yeah. I am, yeah. - Me, too. Yeah. That was fun. - That was fun. - It was. Yeah, I definitely, like, feel very, very strongly about you. You're so easy to get along with and you're so genuine. You have a pure heart, so I really like that about you, and I don't wanna overstep my... my boundaries. No, you can keep giving me compliments. - Yeah. - No, you can keep going. You already know. You already know. Yeah, I mean, there's sparks on my end from me and Deb. I don't know if she has that same spark. The conversations we are so easy and natural, and it just flows so well, but, uh, Valerie, uh, definitely sparks my interest as well. So I just wanna keep taking it step by step. Like, even when you got back from the date last night, like, the fact that you said hi to me... - Yeah. - I was like, oh, that's cool. - Yeah. - Of course, of course. - Yeah. - Do you still... Do you wanna, like, get to know them more? Or like, where... Where's your head? Yeah, yeah, so after that date, I kinda seen, you know, Valerie's point of view on things, and, uh, I'd like, you know, to talk to her a little bit, see where her head's at and stuff like that. But honestly, I'm glad that you went. - Yeah? - Because then I feel like with you exploring other people... - Yeah. - Like, then we can see, like... - Yeah. - If what we have is, like, good or continue. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I don't know. I'm such, like, I don't, like, trust people right away. Yeah. So everyone's like a fuckboy until, like... - Yeah, until proven otherwise. - Proven otherwise. Yes. Yes. Yes. Like, I always have my guard up which is also something I need to work on. - Yeah. 'Cause it's like I need to be more, like, open. Yeah. Yeah. It's like and here's... - It's terrifying. - Yeah, yeah, it's scary. - It's scary. - Like, being vulnerable's awful. Yeah, that's the word, yeah. Vulnerability is like, oh, my gosh, that scares me. I feel like I did kind of good today with, like, telling him that it's hard for me to be vulnerable, so that's the first step, right? Admitting you have a problem. But I don't know. I kind of want, like, a little more from him because I feel like he definitely knows where I stand. I don't know. Maybe we're both feeling shy. - What's happening? - Hello. - Do you wanna go for a chat? - Let's go for a chat. Where should we go? Mady has taken real estate agent Andy to the craft treehouse, or as he would describe it, the generously proportioned elevated mansion with panoramic views. Today I'm just, like, using this day as to, like, get to know everyone, and, you know, just feel everyone. I mean, I think you're in the same boat as all of us. Yeah. Just kinda feeling everything out. What do you look for in a guy? Like, what's your typical, like... - Um, I'm Southern. - Yeah. - So, like, I want to be pursued. - Yeah. I like someone who's, like, family-oriented and has good morals, some manners. I like this. You got a whole, like, you've... you know exactly what you want. I love it. What do you do? My family actually owns a online clothing store, - Okay. - So I do all the... the marketing and the social media and buying and picking out clothes. - Okay. - Styling, planning the shoot. - You're a hustler. I love it. - Adding the inventory online. I love it. No, that's, like, super, super attractive and then just someone that's, like, independent. Like, the impression you're giving me right now, the way you carry yourself, like... Oh. That's something to be proud of, because it's really attractive. - Wow. Thank you. - So... I'm definitely excited to be partnered up with Courtney, um, but Mady, um, I just really like the way she carries herself beyond looks, like, ambition. You can just tell she's such an ambitious person. I just feel like the connection, the vibe was, um, just really easy and... And free-flowing with her right now. I mean, it's just a conversation you didn't really wanna end. - How y'all feeling? - Good. How you doing? You feeling good? - I'm good. - Looking good. Do you wanna go talk over there? Yeah, we can. Let's go. Day two, and it's clear Isaiah didn't ing enough hair gel. It's also clear new girl Valerie didn't ing enough bikini. Did you grow up in the U.S. or... No, I grew up in Costa Rica. Yeah. You said Costa Rica, right? So for how long? I was, like, born and raised over there. I moved here when I was 16. Most of my family's still in Costa Rica, so I, like, always go there, like, travel back. - That's crazy. So if you wanna go, we can go, you know? I wouldn't mind showing you off there. Okay! I wanna pull Isaiah for a chat, but he's been talking to, um, Val for a while, but I have not... They have been talking for a while. Yeah, I know, but I could tell the way they're, like, cuddled up now, I think she just saw me look over there, but, um, awkward. Like, you're definitely, like, my physical type for sure. - Yeah, you are, too. Yeah. - But, mm-hmm. I definitely would have to agree with that. - It's definitely mutual. - Okay. Mm-hmm. She so knows we're looking at her. Um, but no, they're not cuddled up. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. 'Cause, you know, we were talking, we were like... Okay, that makes me feel better. I don't know if you've noticed, but you haven't stopped smiling. - I haven't stopped smiling. - I know, I know. So obviously, that's good energy, right? I know. It is. So that's what you're looking for. I mean, you look good, so it's kinda, like, hard not to, like... You as well, you as well. Definitely have a huge physical attraction to Isaiah, but it's like, do I go more for, like, who I feel like will be better for me, or should I go for who I'm physically attracted to? You know what I mean? I'm like, I don't know what to do. Isaiah, do you wanna go for a chat? Yeah, let's go. Sure. How are you feeling? Good, good. How are you? I'm good. I wonder if after Isaiah talks to Mady, what he'll be feeling? Isaiah's getting his rounds in, isn't he? Yeah, as he should, but, like... Oh, I think you... - Is that? - Did you get a text? Oh, my gosh! I got a text! Oh, my God. Somebody got a text? - Shut up! - Okay, okay, okay! - What's going on? Hold on! - I got a fucking text! All right, Islanders, ships about to get real in today's challenge as you lift the lid on each other's sexiest secrets. I'm so excited! ! Cannonball! Oh, my God. Secrets. I am so bad. I'm scared! Welcome back to Love Island USA. - Yes! - The Musical! Finally, I'm gonna meet David Hasselhoff! Oh, hang on. It's the first challenge of the series. The Islanders have been microchipped and released into the wild to play a game we call Ship Happens. Let's go! This challenge is boys versus girls. Islanders will retrieve a trunk from the conveyor belt. Inside the trunk, they'll find a prop and a statement written on a card. That is not my a. The Islanders will read the statement aloud and guess which Islander made that statement. This girl's graduation gift was a new pair of boobs from her parents. Get in there. Seal their answers with a kiss, then go back to the trunk to reveal who actually made the statement. That's sexy, yeah. Get it right, they earn a point for their team. The team with the most points wins, obviously. That was passionate. Passionate little one. Sereniti! Graduating college with three degrees is not easy, and some kids ask for Jeeps, and I asked for, you know, Tia and Tamera. Tia and Tamera. - Yeah! - Let's go, let's go. Barbies. This girl has hooking up with other women on her bucket list. Ohh! You know who is it? Don't cover their faces, girl. Ooh! It just kept going. One Mississippi, two Mississippi. Okay, five Mississippi, six Mississippi? - Yo! Whoo! - Mamma mia. - Let's do it. Again. - Okay. Sydney. - Ohh! - Why not? Girls are hot. - Okay. - Okay! Okay! A little BDSM coming on now. This girl is so wild in the bedroom that she once even oke her bed during sex. Wow. Who's wild? Who's like that? She's... She's a good kisser. It was just, you know, like, it was like hitting tidal wives. Maybe they just thought that she was the answer to the challenge, but I don't know. Maybe there was some other intention there. Courtney! Broke the bed. I would always sneak my boyfriends in my house. One day we just started fucking, like, really passionate. - Right, it caved in? - Yeah. Boom! All right, This girl has sex for a total of eight hours in a 24-hour period. - That sounds exhausting. He's a cutie for sure, and the kiss was... Good Yelp review, you feel me? She's great. Ohh! Mady! Let's just say I was really dehydrated. Yay! This girl hook up with a guy her friend was dating. Ooh! Well, Valerie had a really good kiss, you know? He was getting kinda frisky, huh? And I'm not a good sport. I am not a good sport. Just put that on the record. Valerie. Listen, it was in high school. Y'all can't blame me, okay? - It was in high school. - We scored one more. Yay! Yo, we have to beat them. So the boys' turn's over, and they scored 3 points. Can the girls do any better? This boy cheated on his girlfriend of six months during a family vacation in Mexico. - All right. Let's get it! - Whoo! Okay. Yeah! I was like, oh, my God. He's so hot. I'm sure his tongue matches the rest of his body, so... ! Whoa! - Yeah, look at the tongue. - Yeah! Back off. God, it's like, finders, keepers, bitches. Okay, let's find out. Yeah! It's definitely not something I'm proud of, though. - We got one. - Ooh. I wonder what day is it. This boy got over his ex by getting under four girls within five days. Oh, my God. Ha! Mmm! Yeah! Andy! You know what? Everyone has a hoe phase. Okay, sir. This boy once had a foursome with him and three girls. Sounds like a fun time. - Yeah. - Obviously. - All right. - Baby! Why it's always me? Yeah! I'm very competitive, so I was, like, pretty sure that it was Felipe, so I was like, let's get a point. And he actually kisses good, so I don't mind going and, like, kissing him again. Okay! The second one is always getting better than the first, you know? - Ohh! - Oh! Raise your hand if you've been kissed by Felipe. Let me put my hand down, obviously. Okay, and the boy is... Yes! Yes! That was my fault. I went to the toilet. When I come back, they are in the bed naked and, like, I'm waiting for you, and I'm like, okay, why not? And I'm like, okay! The score is 3-2, to the boys, not that it matters. We spent the entire budget on props, so there's nothing left for a prize. Anyway, back to the villa, you lot. What a waste of time. Welcome back to Love Island USA. The challenge posed some big questions, like when Sereniti got her new boobs as a graduation present, were they gift-wrapped together or separately? You know, uh, the game was cool, though, man. I got to kiss a couple ladies today. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Who hopped on you? - Yeah, you know, Courtney, you know, after she... Yeah, it was Courtney. Yeah, I'm mad she guessed it, though. They got that. Like, they just knew it was me, you know? I'm like... I don't know how Deb feeling after, you know, she found out I cheated on my ex-girlfriend, you feel me? Were any of those shocking to you guys? Like... Oh, yeah, I was gonna ask that, yeah. The cheating one in, um, Mexico. - Yeah, I think... - I'd hate that. That annoyed me. - With Jesse? - Yeah. - That annoyed you? - Oh, my gosh. My heart. Did it? A little bit. I just don't... I don't do, like, cheating. I don't do cheating. I've been cheated on. That was, like, kinda hit... kinda hit a sensitive spot, and I, like, didn't want to feel that. I didn't want it to hit a spot. - I mean... - Well, maybe that was... That was actually a moment that kinda led him to understanding, like, okay, like, trust, loyalty's important. Hopefully. They not angels over there. There were some crazy cards pulled down, so... - For real. - Yo, we gotta discuss that at some point, right? - We all have our shit, o. - And that's your past. - You learn from that. - No, no, yeah, you good, o. You good. - Who'd you kiss? - Timmy and Isaiah. - Timmy and Isaiah. Okay. - Um, they were both really good. Oh, were they? - I think Timmy is the better... - The better kisser than Isaiah? I mean, they both were really good, but I think Timmy was... Yeah, yeah, yeah. The kiss with Timmy just kinda, like, confirmed that there's... that there's definitely a connection there. I would have liked kissing Jesse 'cause I feel like he was gonna be a good kisser. - Yeah, I know. I felt like he was gonna be... yeah. And I was like, please give me a reason for him to hold me. Give me a reason for him to touch me or something. Like, I wanna feel a big man. Was there any... any that were surprising to you guys? Yeah, I think your... Your graduation gift was surprising to me, you know? - Really? We was all pretty shocked. 'Cause they didn't guess it at all. Yeah, we didn't guess that, like, at all. We were shocked. - But even the one... - Oh, my God. Did I get a text? What? ! I got a text! Oh, man. - Oh, my God! - Oh! Hey! Come on! You guys are gonna wanna sit down for this one. Uh... Valerie and Mady, tonight you will each couple up with a boy of your choice, leaving two girls single and vulnerable. - Yikes. - Ooh. INeedToSitDown. Crazy. INeedToProcess. You guys... you guys think about it. Well, I feel like I definitely have conversations to do... - Yeah. - Before I make that decision. I have a lot to think about. Mady and Valerie are about to steal two boys. Yeah, they're gonna commit daylight robbery, but at night, s-so basically, i-it's a... it's a robbery. Do you know what's funny, though, about recouplings? - It changes everything. - That's right. It's like everybody's stuff gets, like, jacked up. The mess just fucking started. How are y'all feeling about tonight? I feel like I'm just gonna go with what's right at the moment. You guys have a tough decision to make for sure. Yeah, that's true. I'm in such a, like, tough situation. I just, I really haven't made up my mind yet. Do you know what you're gonna do? No, I really don't. It's like I have, like, three or four people. Really?! It's like, all of them, so you've made no progress! Trust me, trust me, I know. I have to choose someone to couple up with tonight and potentially step on some people's toes, but really, the hard part is just kind of deciding what I think is the right choice for me, and that's really hard. The pressure's on. I'm a little stressed for tonight because Valerie, I cannot tell you a single thing about. I don't know what she's thinking. Her cards are, like, she is not sharing any details. Yeah, I could definitely use it now. Cheers to all of us being so beautiful, intelligent, gorgeous, and I'm so happy to have y'all. So cheers. The ladies of the night. She chose the kid. She chose me. Ooh. - Mmm. - We gonna talk, I guess. Are they holding hands? Are you fucking joking? Welcome back to Love Island USA. New girl Mady's quickly becoming part of the furniture, and tonight, the part of the furniture she's becoming is the sofa. How are you feeling this evening? A nice, fun day today. I know. That was my first Love Island kiss. Ah. Actually, I'll let you in on the inside. - Okay. - Um... - Okay. - When... When it was my turn and then, uh, I read out that card, uh, so, like, there was like no real, uh... strategy. Like, it was... I'm just, like, Yo, guys. I'm kissing Mady. - I like that. - Yeah. Yeah, so... - I like that. - That's... That's - So you really took initiative. - For sure. - Okay. - They can vouch for it. Ask 'em. For sure. - I like that. Brownie points. - Okay. I like ownie points, and I like ownies, too, so... I actually can bake some really good ownies. - Yeah. Oh, yeah? - It's from the box. I'm just gonna kick off, you know? Whatever. It'll... it'll be a good test, but obviously, I'm gonna be bummed out. I know it's early. I just know again, I know you, but, like, you seem very trustworthy, and, like, in a place where you're ready to just... keep it real with somebody and, you know, build on that. I've just got this really, really strong intuition that Mady is going to choose Timmy. So, yeah, if he does get chosen tonight, it's just gonna be difficult not laying in the same bed with him. I'm just gonna be thinking, like, what are they chatting about? Like, the whole time, just wanting to, like, be beside him. I'm just all over the board with my emotions right now. You are, like, somebody that I am attracted to. - Yeah. - And I definitely wanna, like, get to know you more. - Yeah, yeah, same here. I have to, like, make a decision. - Just relax, you know? - Mm-hmm. Don't feel like it's, you know, pressure, you know? There's no pressure, no nothing. I feel ya. You know what I'm saying? Like... I guess, like, I feel like right now I'm just going based off, like, the physical attraction. - Mm-hmm. - You know, I haven't had that, like, spark that I'm, like, looking for... - Mm-hmm. - With, like, anybody yet. - Mm-hmm. - Which is okay. Yeah. Like, a part of me feels like I can get there with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess wanted to, like, check and, like, make sure that was, like, reciprocated as well, but... It's reciprocated as well. You caught my eye. You know, obviously, looks-wise. Like, blondes, blue eyes. Like, yeah, that's... - That's your type? - That's my type, but then... what I've learned is, like, there's a lot more to it than just that, and... - Mm-hmm. And I liked... I liked everything that you kinda said this morning. Like, it is what I guess I've been looking for in somebody. - So... - That's sweet. Yeah. So... and I don't know where your head's at. I don't know what your thoughts were from this morning, but... Mm-hmm. Yeah, I feel like we had a really good conversation. Yeah. Andy just kind of came out of nowhere and told me how... How he was feeling, and that just spoke really loudly to me. I really don't know what I'm gonna do, because I had good conversations with all of them earlier, and right now I'm just, like, really confused. Sydney's coupled up with Isaiah, who's a waiter, which, of course, is a traditional Californian word, meaning out of work actor. You cold? What's your arms crossed for? A little bit. What? Obviously, you're beautiful, you know? You have a great smile. I guess that I love how spontaneous you are with stuff. I definitely, like, I don't know. There's... There's something. There's something that I'm just missing from you that I don't know about yet. Okay. Are there any other girls you wanna go pull for a chat? - I don't know. - Uh... Did I look like a red flag? No, you don't look like a red flag. We'll see. Isaiah, I'm so sorry that I'm doing this right now. - Oh, no. - Can I speak to you for a second? - Yeah, sure. Do you wanna go up there? I haven't been there. How you doing with Sydney? Oh, you right away, right away you... Yeah, I wanna know. I went straight to the point. So me and Sydney, like, I've been just, you know, I've been really trying to be with her. 'Cause obviously, the chem's there, okay? - Mm-hmm. - I'm just... I'm very... I'm very picky, and it's like, it may seem like I'm calling her out for a lot of stuff, but I may look like a dick, but I'm not trying to do that. Mm-hmm. I mean, you gotta be honest at the end of the day, too. When Isaiah talks to me, he, like, hammers me sometimes. I'm just, like, shit, and I just really caught the vibe that I guess he doesn't like me for some reason. I don't know. And I'm just like, okay, dude, if you don't like me, like, that's fine, like, just, like, so intense, you know? Like, I can't take the pressure of it, like... Any red flag, I'm-a call you out for. If you don't see any red flags, that's a red flag. You don't see any red flags with me? I'll get... I'll get to that. I'll get to that. Honestly, I didn't see any red flags from you. Like, I feel like you're so my type that it can hurt me, and I think that's what, like, I was scared of. Like, would you say your attraction towards me is strong as mine for you? - Oh, yeah, no, I'm definitely... I'm definitely attracted to you for sure. Mm-hmm. Tonight is a big decision for me. I have different connections going on with people, but I definitely gotta pick what's best for me right now, what feels the best and what feels the most natural. And I think I know... I know what I'm gonna go for. Like, you can open up to me. You can talk to me. I'm... I'm super down. Yeah, I'm just, like, over it. I'm done with these, like, I don't know. I have yet to find a king who can deal with a queen. Welcome back to Love Island USA. New girls Valerie and Mady are about to rip apart two loving couples whose roots go all the way back to yesterday at around 11 a.m. - How do you feel? - I try to, like, make my picks and, like, go outside of my comfort zone to, like, maybe chase a little bit. Tonight's decision's gonna be so hard. With Isaiah, there's definitely the physical attraction, and Jesse, like, the times we do speak, it feels good. Like, it feels very natural. So it's definitely making my decision a lot harder. Right now, I'm like, what the hell am I gonna do? There's two people I'm really torn about... Timmy and Andy. You know, Timmy, I've kissed, but he's in a really strong couple right now. And then Andy... We haven't kissed, but I feel like we have a really good, strong connection. I'm anxious. I have no idea. I... - She got a text. - I got a text! Ooh! - Ohh! - Oh, my God. I'm, like, do I have to be part of this? Mady and Valerie, it's decision time. All Islanders must now gather at the firepit. FeeltheSteal. Okay, okay. - This is serious, you know? - I know. Mady and Valerie are doing what I always enjoy after a night out... Staring at five guys, drooling, and wondering which one I want to take to bed. I want to couple up with this boy because I feel like I've expressed that I really want to be pursued, and I want someone to value who I am as a person. I feel like this person really took me by surprise. He's family-oriented. So the boy that I would like to couple up with is... Andy. Well, damn. I would like to couple up with this boy because he is very handsome and very confident. He has pushed me to go with what feels right and trust my gut. He doesn't feel like he's intimidated by my presence. This guy kinda came into me really unexpected. We vibe on a similar level. We kinda have a similar personality. That's one of the things that attracts me to him, but then, of course, he's really freaking hot. So the boy that I would like to couple up with is... Tomorrow night... someone's... in for a shock. >>>>oakislandtk www.opensubtitles.org
Previously... on Love Island USA... - Hi boy. Sorry we're late. - Hold up. Oh, new girls! Two new girls rock the villa. We wanna fuck! I guess he doesn't like me. Absolutely beautiful girls. I will say that Mady is definitely my type. I like blonde. Do I go more for, like, who I feel like will be better for me or should I go for who I'm physically attractive to? And faced a decision. I would like to couple up with Andy. The boy that I would like to couple up with... is... Tonight... the villa heats up. - Hey! - Lick that shit. And one couple gets steamy. New girl Mady has just stolen Andy from Courtney. Now it's Valerie's turn to take her pick. And if Valerie's choice is anything like her taste in bikinis, he'll be cool, ight and enjoy hanging out in the sunshine. I would like to couple up with this boy because he is very handsome and very confident. He has pushed me to go with what feels right and trust my gut. He doesn't feel like he's intimidated by my presence. This guy came to me really unexpected. We vibe on a similar level. We kind of have a similar personality. That's one of the things that attracts me to him. Other than, of course, he's really freaking hot. So the boy that I would like to couple up with is... Jesse. I've got a text. Oh, a nice time, no? Deb and Courtney, you are now single. At the end of the week there will be a recoupling. Anyone left single will be dumped from the island. GrabAGuy AGirlsGotToDo WhatAGirlsGotToDo. Amen, sis. It feels weird to be newly single. Kind of, I'm like... I felt like Jesse and I were slowly starting to make progress. So I'm just kind of like, Well... back to square one. Can I have a hug, mama? You're surprised? A little bit. I'm super happy. I'm super happy, though, I'm not gonna lie. I'm happy. Valerie is now Jesse's girl. And you know, I wish I had Jesse's girl. It's a song from the '80s, ask your mum. That conversation that we had, just like... It was like a complete turnaround for me. I'm glad. I'm glad it happened. And I feel like that's... That's all we had to, like, have today. - Yeah. That's it. - You know what I mean? Like, we just needed that conversation to like, - just know it's there. - I've been knowing. That's what I'm saying. I knew it from the challenge night. You was catching my eye and I'm just looking at you and I just couldn't stop smiling. Like, before our conversation, I feel like I was going to make a decision that I was later going to regret. And I was kind of having like a little bit of an emotional moment. - You know? - Come, here. Come on, girl. It's okay, it's okay. - And you went with your gut. - Mm-hmm. And you know, at the end of the day... Because in my gut I really feel like me and you have a solid-ass comeback. I know. It's just like... it feels good, - you know what I mean? - Yes. With Jesse, there's a connection that I wanna, like, make here, you know? The way I feel around him, he makes me feel so safe. And the fact that he makes me feel that way so soon, like, I don't even know how to, like, take it. It's, like, surprising. Like, it just feels so... like, so good. I'm here to find - the strongest connection. - Exactly. And I feel like, by making this decision, that's what I'm doing. - Yeah, for sure. - I'm really glad. For sure. I'm so happy. I'm definitely in a pickle with Deb. You know, there's no denying the fact that me and her share a strong connection. But I think now that I'm in a couple, I'm gonna definitely show more attention to Valerie and just kind of reassure her, you know, how I'm feeling. New couple, Andy and Mady, are getting along like a house on fire, which for a real estate agent is a chance to make a big insurance claim. How are you feeling now that we're a couple now? I am super excited. When you first started talking, I'm not going to lie to you, I was shaking a little bit, a little nervous, I was really like, Please, I really want to partner with you, so I was super excited, when you started talking, I'm like, You are so much more than just being beautiful. Your character and who you are - is something... - That's so sweet. That really, like, means a lot to me. So I just wanted you to know that and I'm excited to just kind of dive more into this. I'm super excited to get to know Mady a little bit more. Super happy she chose me. I think me stepping out and letting her know where I'm at, what I'm feeling, was probably the game changer there. I'm excited to see, like, you know, what could happen from this. And a lot of other guys - gotta do it, so... - Oh! Kissing Andy was really good. I loved the confidence. He's so genuine and he's really sweet. I'm going to say he's like frozen custard. Hey, boys. Wow, hello, ladies, what's up? Hello. Hello, hello. - Oh, it's hot tonight. - It feels so good. It's actually a fire. I would love to chat with you. I mean, you can have a seat and rest your legs for a second. Just come here a little bit. - A lot. - A lot. A lot. How're you feeling? - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm feeling great. - Yeah? - I feel very confident in what we have already established. I just want you to feel comfortable and not feel, like, over pressed or anything like that. I'm... you know, I've been prone to, like, not invite my, you know, emotions being shown, like, - take it deeper there. - Are you feeling vulnerable with me? There's definitely a level of that for sure. I'm not going to tell you which level. - Do you like it? - I like it because... Do you love it? Do you want some more of it? I want to... I want to indulge a bit more, you know what I'm saying? You're making me blush. - Really? - Yeah, I can't believe it. I've been wanting to do this. So I just need you to come here. I feel like on top of the Love Island villa right now. I'm going to stay humble about it, but, like, obviously, like, I'm happy. It feels really good. Judging by that cushion on Andy's lap after a steamy snog with Mady, he's found that in California it's not just the house prices that keep going up. I feel like a lot's happening for you right now. She's like, your type to the T. Oh, you know my type to the T, huh? Yeah, blonde with blue eyes. So you know my physical type? Okay. Yes, and I think that's good that you're, like... You know, exploring things as you should, that's what we're here for. I wanted to tell you that, like... I wanted to, like, explore Felipe... You're feeling a certain way towards Felipe. I want you to go with what your gut and what your heart's telling you. And I'm so thankful that, like, you were my first experience here. Yeah, I'm glad that I picked you, like, even though you didn't step out, it's all right, we're going to get over that. Are we? We're going to get over it. I'm going under the blanket, I'm ready to sleep. I feel happy for what's happening because I feel like this, like, opens doors for both of us to pursue something more genuine romantically. I'm really thankful for him for being, like, my first, like, experience here. - Just pretend I'm not here. - Yeah, sorry. By the end of the week, there'll be a recoupling and the two that aren't in a couple will be at risk of being dumped from the island. What happened with you? Isaiah and I were talking. He freaked out or whatever and started saying that maybe we're not compatible. That's why I started crying. And it was just like, Okay, I don't want to hear reasons that we're not compatible because I'm not changing myself, o. Like, what the fuck? I don't know. I didn't think I'd be this fucked up, o. It's in her court, but it's also a little bit in yours as well. It's okay. No, it's okay, I don't want to cry. This is happy time. No, it's okay to cry. No, it's okay, like, there's so many emotions. Well, obviously, - next to the new couple. - Hey, man, it's new vibes in here now. Are you a bit sad, like, not going to see who Jesse is with? It took two hours to get to bed and then two hours to go back to bed. You're going to be team Timmyda. Team Timmyda. Jelerie. Jelerie. Vesse. Never a dull day with the Love Island gods. Seriously? So you've got the new couple vibes going on right now, feeling real good. He's excited. Wait, you said he's excited? - Mm-hmm. - Okay, good to know. He's also excited about Deb, but... Be careful. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four. I just want to get in here. Good night, Islanders. Welcome back to another morning on Love Island USA. I say morning, it's 1:00 p.m. And right now our couples are Sereniti and Felipe, Sydney and Isaiah, Zeta and Timmy, Mady and Andy, Valerie and Jesse. And our single ladies, Deb and Courtney. Good, none of them have escaped. Hit the lights. Good morning, Islanders! Buenos dias. Do you like having the bed to yourself? - Actually, yeah. - Yeah? It's good that he likes to cuddle, for sure. It was kind like... I guess I'm not used to it. And then I saw his dick print, I was like, Oh, yes! Really? How was your night? My night was, you know, amen, o. In bed, right? - God bless America. - God bless America. Must not have been good. You know, I think Zeta, you know, he's very... he's real, man, he's just going to say whatever is on his mind. Oh, I'm aware. I was just like, Dude, like... - Yeah. - It's fine. Right, right, right. Damn! You're killing with the fits though, o. USA, baby, USA. I was definitely hearing some kissing. - Well, yeah! - Really? I'm like, Zeta. Yeah, was that you? I don't know. Was it? I thought I heard a little moan, too. - Moaning? I weren't moaning. - It wasn't moaning, it was just a little, like, Mm! Like... No, do you know what? Timmy does it. Even when you're talking he'll be, like, Mm. Hey, me and Zeta cuddled for the first time. Yeah. She had her little silk thing on and it was very comfortable, so... A lot of, you know, soft touches. - Yes, sir. Yes, sir. - Feel great. With me and Zeta, I feel secure in what we got and, you know, I want to continue to, you know, keep a good pace with things. What about you, Andy? You know, I think today I'm just trying to focus on Mady as much as I can. I think I put my foot forward yesterday of saying, like... Slight little kiss yesterday. - Slight? - Slight little kiss. Come on, my boy. About time somebody get some action. Yeah, some lip action. - Mady, we just... - Well, yeah. Tell us about your night. You've just been awfully quiet over there. We kissed last night. - You did? - Oh, my God! Damn, my life is dry. Girl, same. How did you sleep, Val? Just, like, as soon as we got in the bed we kinda just, like, started cuddling. I mean, I didn't know how it was going to be. It just felt right. Like, I don't even know how to explain it. Y'all tryna find love on the first day while I'm trying to fight for covers. I feel like you're going to fall hard and fast. I know. I'm, like, a little scared. Not going to lie. I kind of feel like I'm very vulnerable right now. I was comfortable and now I lost Jesse. I just don't want to continue to lose him. And we were making good strides. I don't know what to do. And it's so stressful and my voice is leaving me. What's happening to my voice? I'm coupled up with Val now, you know? I'm happy about this because I'm happy to share a bed with her. But, you know, you just can't deny the fact that me and Deb have a strong connection so I'm not closing that door for sure. Me and Deb definitely built a stronger relationship and connection than me and Val, but there's a real connection there, and it's just so easy for me and her to converse. So I really want to focus all my effort and attention on just one girl, but, you know, right now it is very hard. Zeta and Jesse don't see eye to eye. They're getting on fine but Jesse just refuses to look at her. Like, from this situation from your perspective, what do you observe? You know, from Deb and, you know, how she's feeling maybe about the whole situation - and how it's playing out? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I definitely think that she does like you. Like, you were her number one and you've stayed in that position. I haven't heard her talk about any other guy. - Really? Really? - No, not once. - That is good, that is good. - Yeah. Do you feel like you, right now, have, like, a stronger, like, attraction to one of them? Definitely I would say attraction-wise, you know, it's definitely Deb. I haven't really learned that much about Valerie yet. - Exactly. - And, like, I know a lot about Deb, and that's why I'm so... Yeah, there's still a bit more there, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm really attracted to that because of that. Did you see me smiling from ear to ear? I'm like... Like, I am so... Val is so happy to be with you, and I love seeing that for her. But, like, I definitely do still want to see you and Deb get to know each other because it's just like... It's just there. Like, the second you came - she was like... - Right, exactly, exactly. She was like... That's a bit , you know. Yes. Yes, exactly, I know. - Yeah, I'm happy, too. - Yeah. For sure. Hi, sexy. You're happy? Yes, I am happy.-? Yeah, you did actually. Yes. I'm very happy. So, like, your goal today is to talk to Jesse? Mm-hmm. So I think that's going to be my priority. I kind of feel like I almost need to, like, start flirting with more people, but I don't know who. I'm really like, How am I gonna have a connection with anyone else? Yeah. I feel the same way. He looks fucking hot today, too. It's just so weird, like, whenever there's another girl involved, I'm always just, like... I take the back seat. - I get it. - So, yeah. Because I just... I don't know. I was, like, telling the girls earlier, we had, like, a morning chat. And the girls were like, Oh, it's so cute. Like, I woke up and you guys were, like, in the morning, like, cuddling. Yeah. And I was like, Yeah, it feels good. Like, I don't know how to explain it, you know what I mean? It's like a comfort. Like... - Feels comfortable. - Yeah, that's good. I'm glad you feel that way, too. I'm glad you're happy. I'm glad I'm happy. I don't really feel any way about anybody else more than I feel about you. You know what I mean? - Feels like a good match. - Yeah. - It's definitely a good match. - Like, it feels, like, right. It's definitely a good match. Like, I obviously, don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings and all that. But I'm just like, ugh, it's like I almost have to. Because it sucks because you see how happy she is. Yeah. She's, like, so excited about him and I don't want to take that away from her. But at the same time, I can't think like that, unfortunately. I mean, yeah, 'cause that's what happened with you. I know! Jesse, like, he literally has, like, all the qualities in a man I look for, so I'm obviously in a sticky situation with Val and it sucks. But now that I've sat with it and thought about it and actually have seen them getting on, I'm like, Oh, I might like him. I might want to see where it could go. I look at you and you don't give me any thought of like, Mm, I don't know if I can't trust him, you know what I mean? It's completely the opposite. I don't know you that well yet, but from what you show me, I feel like I trust you. You know what I mean? I just... I don't know. You seem very genuine so I'm glad that we're like that. I'm glad you feel that way, Val, for sure. I'm really happy with the decision that I made, obviously. I was, like, nonstop, like, smiling. - Yeah, me, too. - I can't believe - how it happened. - Yeah, I know. It was so unexpected but it's still... Like, it's good, so... Yeah, it's a story still being written, you know? Exactly. I can't wait to keep writing these pages in with you. You know, I'm excited to, you know, keep building our relationship, man, because you are dope and, like, you fine as hell. Yeah, thank you. We are here to be selfish. We're here to have friends, but, like, we're here ultimately to find our connection, you know? So it's like, someone's probably going to get hurt. Welcome back to Love Island USA. Yeah. And Namaste. I do a bit of spiritual guruing in my spare time. I actually gave Deb a powerful mantra to help her get over her heart eak. Men ain't shit. Another one. Men ain't shit. Men ain't shit. Exactly. I needed that, thank you. Valerie is cutting that orange with a worryingly large knife, Andy's standing by to grab some juice, while our medical team are standing by to reattach her fingers. Oh, you just... I would've sliced my hand open - right there doing that. - Yeah, same here. You're like a fucking wizard over here. Are you serious? Have you talked to him much today? I say yeah. He was not, like... I think he just doesn't have the emotional maturity that a man has yet, which is understandable, he might just not have as much experience as other people so he doesn't know how to, like, talk, you know? He's got a good head on his shoulder... No, he does, he's independent, he has his own thing going on for sure. But I think, like, having emotional maturity is a thing, you know what I mean? And I think he might be lacking that a little bit, but it just comes from not having enough experience. And when I think... When I mean emotional maturity, I mean, things like being able to express yourself. Being able to express your feeling. His guard is very up, but it's like, o, we came here to put the guards down. We're here to talk about feelings, unfortunately. I can't read this man. Like, I really can't. Like I'm just going with the flow with him at this point. Like, it is what it is. There's definitely undeniable chemistry there for sure. But it would be nice, like, to get some more clarity on, like, where his head's at or something. I don't know. I feel like I've tested the waters and... I mean, I feel like the only one that I feel, like, a connection with is- Jesse. Yeah. Cutting up freaking fruit salad here. I know. I wish... I wish we had a watermelon. Oh, avo. Nice work. Yeah, a little seed in there. Since his date with Mady and Valerie, Felipe spent absolutely no time with Sereniti. Luckily Hank's ironic neon sign store do same day delivery. I don't want to catch you in the wrong way. What you mean? You have to attend to me, please. I tried to kiss you last night in the bed. I say good night and then come... Oh, I didn't even do that. Because I was like... I like it when people do that. I just didn't want you think that like, oh... -I'm a straight shooter- -I know. So that's why I was like, I don't have a problem. - So sorry. - No, no, no, no. I would never reject one of those. No, I'm not saying you did. I'll never reject one of those. But just please, if you don't understand anything, ask me, because I know sometimes my English - is confusing. - Yeah. Felipe and I are definitely a friendship couple. I don't think I have the personality to be his little boo thang. We're going to be real close friends. I enjoy being friends with him. We're able to have conversations, joke around, stuff like that. We're friends. Good old buddy, old pal, partner. Right. So, what's your mission today? I going to share it with Courtney. This is... I don't fall in love easily, you know? Yeah, well, this is Love Island, baby. You got a... It's not going to be a three-month thing. I know that. That's something maybe you're going to have to adjust to a little bit. No, I know. So... so how are you feeling? What's going on? I wanted to talk to you, but I guess I was waiting for the right moment. Honestly, I feel like with my decision... I'm not going to lie to you, I was definitely going to pick you. But I felt uneasy about that decision. I definitely want to make sure I'm, like... coupled up with someone that, like... A little more than just, like, physical attraction. Like, after our conversation, I felt, like, really attracted to you, you know? But I didn't know if we were on the same level, like, mentally. Um... And when I had the conversation with... with Jesse, like, literally the first thing he said was, One thing that caught my eye and I liked about you is that when you walk into a room, your presence is known. I feel like he takes my personality and he understands me, and he, like... is like... He likes who I am, as I am, you know what I mean? And I feel like that's kind of like, I guess, like, what I was looking for. - Right. - And he just, like, automatically, like, gave me that. - Jesse's a fucking sweetheart. - He is so nice. - Oh, my God. - But he just gives me... I don't think there's a flaw in that man. That's what I'm fucking saying. I'm like... I feel like everything just happened - the way it was supposed to. - There's sparks, for sure. Like, you can't lie when there's some chem, you know? I know. I know. But, like, I don't know. I don't know. Like, me and Sydney are vibing right now. You should let your guard down a little for her, though. - I know. I know. - I think she really likes you. I just need a vibe more. That's all I'm saying is, I feel so... so rushed. Last night with... The whole thing with Sydney, probably definitely came out a little too strong. I haven't been in a relationship for almost, you know, three years. And so maybe just kind of, like, forgot how to approach things, you know what I'm saying? How sensitive people can be and how people can take things a certain way. But at the end of the day, if I'm catching feelings for someone, I'm going to get to the nitty gritty. You know, I definitely can't lie. That is probably... I'm a little immature for sure. I didn't want it to be weird between us or anything. No, like, I definitely felt some, like, you know, awkwardness, especially, like... I know. Me, too. Me too. So I was like, okay, like, I need to talk to him and just lay it out. So, it's good, you know. Good vibes. - Don't forget your phone. - Oh, my God. My ass is, like, stuck to this thing. - Give me a hug. - Yeah. You know. I'm glad that it's calm, though, at least today. - I'm glad. For now. - For a bit. The tree house is fitted with a deadly military grade laser at precisely 4'6. Oh, my God. If Zeta stands up straight, it will slice her head clean off. We take security seriously on this show. Hidden talent. Oh, okay. This is nice, you know. Oh, my God, Z. - You're so cozy. - Yeah. Yeah. - Things seem really good. - Yeah. When things are good, it's like, all right, something's going to happen. Yeah. - Sabotaging myself sometimes. - Yeah. Just in my own... I feel like you might be the same, but I'm pretty intense. - I think, like, within myself. - Yeah. I feel like I do all these calculations for some - simple ass situation. - Yeah. Oh, so many ways this could go the way and I'm not gon' meet nobody that I could actually talk to and then boom, I'm standing next to you giggling. I know. You laughing at my dumb ass dad jokes, I'm like, Oh, perfect. Your dad jokes are lovely. What do you call a girl with one eye and one leg? Oh, my God, what? Eileen. Oh, my God! - That's funny. - Touchdown. - Come on, it's not bad. - That's a dad joke. - That's really funny. - You like that joke? Oh, you like that joke. I like your jokes, Timmy. I really don't even feel like I have the appropriate words for him. I feel like any words that I would be using for him would actually be, like, doing him a disservice. I feel like we need better words in the English language to describe him. I just love his energy and who he is. Aw. Love is just a scary feeling sometimes. Just knowing that you're putting yourself in a place to, like, not only be dealing with your emotions, but to be juggling someone else's as well. It does move so fast in here. Like, I'd rather have a oken leg than deal with heart eak. So you love hard once it gets to it? Once I'm... once I'm loving, it's just like, oh, my God, I'm full on. With me and Zeta, my guard is on, like, a 30-minute lunch eak, you know, they chilling. So, like, she's kind of seeing how I ride. Obviously, she's amazing. You know, the physical aspect, she checks all the boxes. And, you know, this is a person that I could trust. I feel comfortable showing some things about myself to. Talking to you is so nice. Very nice, isn't it? Where'd you come from? What did they find you? - They dug me up from LA. - They build you in a lab? Welcome back to Love Island USA. To seduce Felipe, Courtney's drenched herself in a powerful new perfume, Desperation. I don't think Sydney and Andy are fans. Hey, girl, come sit. - Hi. - Hello. I saw you guys are talking, and it looked, like, serious. So, I was leaving you. - It's always serious. - I know, right? - Enjoy the business. - Okay. - Does anybody want water? - Yeah. - I'll come up with you. - Okay. - How are you doing? - Good. Good. How are you feeling? I feel good with everything. But I could just feel this, like, sexual tension. Like, kind of. I don't know. - Did you feel that? - I know, I know. - Do you know what I mean? - Yeah, I know. Like, there's, like, kind of something there, but, like, we haven't really talked, you know? The eyes talk more than the words. Yeah, right? And also in the challenges, you also has a good kiss... Yeah, you, too. You know, something pushing me there, but I don't know what I can expect, you know? - Or how to approach it. - Yeah. - I'm hoping for that. - Yeah. With Felipe, it's obviously, like, sexual. Like, he is, like, really hot. I would like to end up, like, sharing a bed with him. And yeah, just getting to know him more. Well, now I feel better, like, you know, I feel comfortable now. Even though I'm, like, still, like, getting to know, like, all the other guys and stuff, I just feel like my connection I want to pursue right now is, like, mostly with you, like, romantically. But, like, how do you feel? - I'm happy. - Yeah, me, too. Yeah. Andy and Mady are chatting at the pool. The grass area around the pool is actually a putting green. See if you can guess where the hole is. What's an average day in the life in Oklahoma City? - Mm. Wake up. - Yup. Make my coffee. I do iced coffee. So, I do milk, ice and then a little bit of vanilla. Okay. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And today I can just kind of relax and enjoy the moment. Just, like, spending time with Andy. He makes me feel really good. So, I'm definitely glad that we're coupled up. I have a cat. Did I tell you that? No. I'm definitely a dog guy, I will say. I tried having a dog, a puppy once. What happened? It's a lot to, like, raise puppy by yourself. - It's literally like a baby. - Yeah. But it was just within 24 hours, and I found a family for it and made sure it had, like, a really good home. Yeah, I was like, Yeah, I don't think I'm ready. Yeah. My sister just got a dog, and, like, it's the one that you just got to... Wait? No, it wasn't. Sorry, it was a heat advisory. - Oh, my... - Yeah, no. False alarm. She should stick that phone somewhere chilly and dark. Her cold, lonely bed would be perfect. Ooh, it's ight up here. Sydney's with waiter Isaiah. And what a waiter! There's one toilet in the villa. Today he waited for over two hours. That man has the patience of a saint. - How are you feeling this AM? - Good. Little bit better. I feel like I have a clear head. I think I was just very overwhelmed with what was happening. And I think, like, the way that the communication happened, - like, wasn't the best. - Absolutely. That was a... Communication was shit. And I think that, like, triggered me because in a past relationship, like... I don't want to cry. You're okay, let it out. You're good. My first relationship was really bad that way, like... he, like, manipulated me a lot. And just, like, emotionally, like, it triggered me. Like, the way it all went down. So, I think that's why I just felt very overwhelmed because I was just like... I saw, like, parallel shit. - You know what I mean? - I am sorry. I want you to know that why I said that dumb shit was really just because, like, I really am into you. And I wouldn't be, you know... Wouldn't be saying things like that, if I didn't care about you, you know what I'm saying? I know. But that not the way to... I was just... I told you, it was immature. It was me saying shit in the wrong way. It was just... It was dumb as fuck. Me and Sydney are definitely a little rocky right now. You know, I kind of threw a couple twigs in the fire, and it's kind of slowly, slowly burning up. I don't want that to make her drift away or vice versa. I love your vibe. I really do. - Thank you. - I do. I like yours, too. I definitely tend to go for, like, bad boys. Like, I've always done it. But I should never have to apologize for being myself. So, like, after he apologized and stuff, I just feel like I'll forgive, but I won't forget. That's, like, something that I live by. I don't know, I feel like I'm just going to take a much more laxed approach. - You know what I mean? - Absolutely. Yeah. I get you. Coming up... So, we're going to play truth or dare. - Hey! - Lick it up, girl. We have whipped cream Holy shit! Welcome back to Love Island USA. Look at that. A dozen showers to get through and poor old Isaiah's drawn the short straw so he's last. What a waiter. Patience of a saint. - Do some side dips. - Side dips. Dips are real. Bring that top leg up, though, o. Ooh, okay. It must be so nice to be a guy and not have to put on makeup, take off makeup, put on makeup, take off makeup. How about this one? It's hard if you twist it. They're going to be like, You guys smell good. Why do I feel like we've just been camping or something? They're gonna be like Wait, the girls washed themselves. How many times a week you lift? - I don't. - What? Do you eat like an asshole or do you eat pretty well? - I just eat fast food. - What? Oh, no! One down. Fallen soldier. One. Two. Three. Hey. Hey. Hey. Did anybody have a convo today that stands out? Yeah. How's you and Mady, o? We're vibing right now. We're in a good place right now, so I'm... we'll see where that goes tonight. Why are we the ones stressing? Make the boys stress. Their time will come. It's a straight, just cologne scent when you walk in here. Is it good, though? It's a great scent. Smells like men. You just made me swallow hairspray. They got to be ready by now. It doesn't take that long. I am really proud of how fast you get ready and look amazing. Yeah. What the fuck? It's because I don't talk to you hoes. Hold your glasses up. Let's have a hell of a night. Cheers to some connections. And finding love. Hey! Sereniti is with Courtney, who tonight is not only missing a man on her arm, she's also missing a sleeve on her other arm. She's having a shocker. So, I've been wanting to do this for a while. - But let's chat about Felipe. - Yeah. You don't mind if I, like, get to know him? Ah! We love that. I really think he's just better off for you than me. - You think so? - Yeah, I think I'm just, Mm. Just know that we're friends and I'm through. Yeah. Cheers. Baby. I'm Felipe's, like, fam. I want him to find something, because the moment he finds something, maybe I'll find something. Bye, love you. Hey, guys, let's go play a game at the firepit. We're going to play truth or dare. - Okay. - Firepit. Deb and Courtney have stolen our idea of playing truth or dare. Our lawyers will be in touch. As you know in truth or dare, one Islander asks another if they want to do a truth or a dare. Copyright Love Island USA 2022. - It's single girls game night. - Okay. - And it's guys against girls. - Okay. Okay. - Yeah. - I'll start. - Felipe, truth or dare. - Dare. I dare you to pick the girl of your choice and make out with her. - Right now? - Yeah. You heard me. - Can you stand up, please? - Okay. Ooh! You're welcome. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. - Okay. - Oh. I've noticed this pattern every game. Felipe gets picked and he chooses me. And I think it's so cute. Like, I don't know. He's just a Brazilian, like, firecracker. Okay. Timmy, truth or dare. Let's do a truth, y'all. Who is the Islander that you would couple up with if it wasn't Zeta? Okay, actually, that's easy. - Ish. - Is it? Easyish. The Islander that I would couple up with... I'm going to go with Mady. Hey! I like a little bit of jealousy in a relationship. Like, not too much, but just a little bit. Because it makes me like, Ooh. I'm liking you a bit more. - Zeta. - Oh, Lord. Truth or dare. - Don't be a bore. - I'll do a dare. Yay. We love that. Other than the person you're coupled up with, I dare you to pour some honey on somebody's body part and seductively lick it off. I like honey. So, I'll get it off. Okay. Take this off. On the nipple? Yo! There you go. Hey! Lick it off, girl. My goodness, I've gone on and I've licked Isaiah's nipple and I'm like, I should have held back a bit. Holy shit. That was a first for me. I mean, getting honey on the nipple was something else. With a little nibble, you know. Like, all over me. - It's your turn. - That was really sweet. - Valerie, truth or dare. - Dare. Choose an Islander of your choice to lick whipped cream off your bare ass. My bare ass? We've got you. We're ready. Well done, Deb. That whipped cream tasted really good. Ahh, you know that ass tasted pretty good as well. You know, I'm not going to lie. - Jesse, truth or dare. - Dare. I dare you to kiss all of the girls and then say who the best kisser is. Oh, shit. I like that. I like that. - Jesse, truth or dare? - Dare. I dare you to kiss all of the girls and then say who the best kisser is. Oh, shit. I like that. I like that. Contestant number one. Contestant number one. Not too much. Not too much. It was like... - Oh. - Oh. Next. Jesse gets dared to kiss every single girl there. Like, this motherfucker gets seven bitches. - Okay, okay. - Fuck. Like, he's already in a love triangle. Like, don't give him, like, six, five... five more. I watched him kiss every girl. And like, I mean, I'm not going to be here like, Oh, my God, I enjoy watching it, you know what I mean? But it's a bad feeling. You know, it's not... It doesn't feel good. You need a recap because it's too much kiss. So maybe you have to do one more lap. Let me... I didn't get the feel of it. Let me try again. Let me try again. I got to say, God bless America. You know. So out of everybody I did get a chance to kiss... But I got to go with... Deb for the best one. Tomorrow night, get ready, because a new boy is about to rock the villa. I'm super ready to get into the villa. The biggest advantage I have is... I mean, look at me. I look good. I smell good. I move different. And I go for the girl that has a boyfriend. More often than not, that boyfriend's an ex-boyfriend by the end of the night. >>>>oakislandtk www.opensubtitles.org
Previously, on Love Island USA... The boy I would like to couple up with is Andy. Jesse. You are now single. At the end of the week anyone left single will be dumped from the island. And one boy may not be ready to let go. Attraction-wise, it is definite there. Tonight... a new boy makes himself at home. Oh, my God! God damn, Uncle Sam. Welcome to Love Island USA. Last night, parcel guy Jesse delivered a sexy snog to all the girls. I was hoping for one too... but when I go home I found that I'd missed him and he'd left it with my neighbor. Oh, my gosh! That was crazy. Oh, man! That was fucking crazy! That was fun, man! I'm glad we got this shit lit, man, you know? Well, I just wanted to see, where your head was at with that. You know, I would say meeting you, I want to get to know you a little bit more. I feel like we really haven't had time to really get to know each other, so I get that, too. Yeah, so I really want to get to know you a little bit more and just learn about you, honesty, and see what's up because obviously the connection's there, you know? Honestly, like, I'm not lying whenever I tell you I really... I'm not interested in anybody else but you. So I guess maybe that's bad for me. But I know you do have a strong connection with, like, Deb, I know, I get that, yeah. You guys were together from the first day. Would you say, like, right now... Would you actually rather be coupled up with her? I wouldn't necessarily say that. No, you just feel like you have a stronger connection just because you've known her better than me or like... Yeah, I know her a lot better than I know you. But, like, physically, I'm, like, entirely attracted to you. And then, you got an intelligence about you, you know what I'm saying? You're smart as fuck, so... I just want to know, like, should I be worried or not? You know what I mean? I want to make sure that you want to be with me. Okay, well, Valerie, I want you to know - that I fucking like you. - Okay. I'm very happy to fucking be in the position that I'm in. Okay. I like sharing a bed with you. I like being coupled up with you. - You are fine as fuck. - Okay. Yes, I want to be coupled up with you, honestly. - Okay. - I do. Mm-hmm. Deb is off for a chat with Zeta. And just to be clear, Zeta's second word ends in the letter P. I ship you and Jesse so hard. Val's lovely, it has nothing to do with that. Like, I know that you like Jesse. - Yeah. - Yeah. And I know that you don't really, like, speak up. Yeah, I know, I've literally all day felt like I was pacing around, literally talking to every other person besides him. I small chatted with him and I said, If you had to choose right now who you're just more attracted to, who would you say? And he was like, Deb, like, no hesitation. You need to just let things be known because I don't want to see you leave. I know. You're so right. I need to be selfish which I'm usually not. But you have to be. You can't not be selfish in here. Last thing you want to do is go home and be like, Why the fuck did I care about anybody else? Exactly, for sure I'm going to try to make out with him tonight. I'm like, I need to just do something to solidify this. I like that, though. You need this. - Lock it in. - Yeah. Thank you. I don't know the deal with Isaiah and Sydney, but I do know that Jebediah's World of Wicker is completely sold out of basket lanterns. At first, after last night I was a bit like... You know, like, Fuck you, right? Yeah, but that's just how I am because I'm hotheaded. But I feel like I made that kind of clear. But, like, obviously, I got over myself. I was being, like... I was, like, heated for a while. - I understand, you... - But I was telling you, like... You can definitely feel how you feel. Yeah, but that just kind of shows that I do care if I'm pressed, you know what I mean? Usually, if that were to happen I wouldn't have even told you I was upset. I would have just never talked to you again... - Really? - Yeah. I, like, am a big ghoster. But I felt like... You know, you said you kind of wanted your space and I told... You know what I mean, I felt like the ball was definitely in your court. But I definitely did pull you aside because I definitely wanted to clear things up and I definitely wanted to talk to you for sure. He got caught major slipping last night being this intense guy. But I don't know, I've only seen, like, a sweet side of him since. I don't really feel like doing this with no one else. Like, I don't think the vibe is really there with no one else. That shows me a lot, actually. I don't know... I don't know, I like spending time with you, it makes me... It gives me, like, butterflies. - I get a little bit nervous. - Really? Yeah. I lowkey be speaking the truth. You know, all day today I was on edge. My stomach was kind of turning. But, like, I definitely cleared things up and the vibe is definitely getting back and I'm happy for that. Her lips taste good. Yeah, you good... You good at kissing, that's for damn sure. And I'm good with my mouth. You might think Jesse is about to use exactly the same script he used with Val earlier, but it's nothing like it. He's changed the name Val to Deb throughout. You have a good time with the little truth or dare? - Yeah. - Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. I was like, Was that our hurdle that we needed? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we definitely... I think we got over that hump a little bit. Whatever. This is real tough for me right now. I want to get to know Valerie a little bit more, but I have Deb who really relates to me. I am just lost in the sauce, I feel like, right now. Like, I don't want to be the cause of someone else's, like, pain. But I feel like I have to be selfish, - which is, like, not me. - Yeah. But I'm like, I have to... I have to go after, right? Yeah, you got to go after it. Like we said, we've gotta step into the. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, I think... I think that, you know, I barely even know her. So you kinda just want to get to know her more to see. Yeah, I gotta get to know her a little bit more and, you know, just test the water there. Genuinely, I care about you. I care about how you feel. I don't want you to be sad, I want you to be happy. I still feel, like, shy and, like, giddy around him. So I'm like, okay, that kind of tells me that we, like, do have a connection, but it's just like, Give me something! This is the most I've talked about my feelings, like, my whole life. My whole life. I've never said this much. - And this sucks. - Exactly. Like, good Lord, I can write a book. I know. - Ugh! - Right. I need a therapist. After her kissing game snog with Felipe, single girl Courtney's still feeling cautious. Poor thing, that girl just needs to take a Felipe of faith. I thought it was cute that you, like, chose me for, like, the kiss tonight. To myself. So she was like, Pick your top one, you know? So the girl want to make, you know, so like, okay, it's you. I'm not gonna hide. And then just feel the way I'm feeling always. Like, you're more like me. We talk, we're easy going, we're not speeding or anything, you know? But also, I kind of like how there's, like, the sexual tension between us. Like, I like that, you know? I do also, you know? Like, I like that, like, when we started it wasn't, like, super easy for us. Like, it's hot that it was like, kind of like, I don't know, you know? Sometimes we are afraid to like, Okay, I'm feeling Courtney, I want to kiss her, but this is the right moment. There is no moment if you go and do what you're feeling to do. My hands are cold, yeah. I don't like it to feel cold, you know? I don't like that at all, you know, so... What's happening now? Our first kiss for tonight was, like, really passionate. It's like, everything I expected to be from Felipe because him and I are similar in that way. Like, we're both, like, super respectful, and, like, I feel like we're both really freaky in the bedroom. What did I say earlier? I was like, Why don't we all just kiss and see who we feel it with? I feel like we really did turn up the heat in truth or dare. - Yeah we did. - Yeah we did. I mean, it was about time we all kissed them. But where else does shit like this happen? Home sweet home. What happened with your kiss? Tonight, we're going to work on our cuddling. See, I got the whole matching fit here. No more... That's my pelvis. It's a risky game you're playing over there. Beautiful. I know, right? - Good night, baby. - Good night. Oh, hello. There's a new boy on the way. By the looks of things, there's going to be some fights for the hairdryer. And if there is, my money's on that guy. Good morning. Let's get started with our morning. I'm Tyler, I'm 23. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. I think the guys in the villa should be worried about me. I have the confidence, I have the hair, I have the looks. And I'm a PhD student. What more could you want? I don't really have any concerns about competing for someone's attention. I'm really just trying to tear it up and have some fun. Good morning. - Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! Welcome back to Love Island USA. It's morning and there's a floater in the pool, again. But for once, I don't have to go and fish it out with a net. Good morning. - Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Hi! How you guys doing? There's a hottie in the pool. - Oh, my... - Yeah! - Oh, my God! - You guys sleep good? That's a bombshell right there. He's extremely attractive. - Tyler, nice to meet you. - I'm Mady, Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Wow! - Wow! - You're looking good. - This is a nice... - Nice to meet you. Thing to wake up to. - Where are you from, Tyler? - I'm from Ohio. - I like your hair. - Thank you, I appreciate it. I like yours too. Thanks, it's quite messy right now. Yeah. We all were looking like we just got off the busted train a little bit. So it'll be nice later when we're all put together because then he's like, Damn! - Morning. - Good morning. Whoa! Am I dreaming? What? Hi! - Hey. - I'm Deb. - Tyler. Nice to meet you. - Tyler. Nice to meet you. Oh, he's so hot. Oh, fuck! 'Sup, baby, take me out to dinner. How you doing? I'm Tyler. I'm Courtney. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too. - Do you have a country accent? - I'm from Ohio. - He's from Ohio. Take the glasses off. We got to see the smile without the glasses. Damn! That guy is sexy. - How you doing? - Hey, how are you? - Good. Tyler. - What's your name? - Tyler. - Tyler, I'm Zeta. - Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you. - You look really good. - I appreciate that. - You do, too. - Thank you, yeah, thank you. You want to meet a guy when you're looking your best. I'm so happy I had sunglasses on to cover my really sleepy eyes, but I've not ushed my teeth so that stuff doesn't make you feel very confident, does it? - Hi, good morning. - Morning. - What's your name? - Tyler. Tyler, Sereniti, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too. - You look so cute. He looks like a superhero. I just know that saving is what I need, so you can come and sweep a bitch up. Hello. What do you do for work? I just graduated in December and I'm starting my PhD in August, so... Oh! We love an educated man. I hope you like blondes. You're going to get loads of compliments today, by the way. We need these boys on their toes. Yeah, we needed you. What the fuck is my hair doing? That's fucking bad. Are you excited to be here? I definitely am, yeah. You ready to find love? - Oh, yes. - Oh, yeah! The girls, they all look phenomenal. I can't wait to just explore all my options and see who I click with the most. Hurricane Tyler has entered the villa. - Hello! - Morning. - How're you doing, boss? - Felipe. Nice to meet you. - Felipe, Tyler. - Good? Nice to meet you, my man. Yeah, absolutely. Ooh! Good morning, Andy. Morning. How we doing? - 'Sup, my man? - How're you doing? - Andy. - Tyler, nice to meet you. Pleasure to meet you. There's just this guy with really nice hair out there. I'm like, Oh, shit! Like, is he going to come take my girl? Game on, I guess. Does anybody have kids? - No, thank God. - Do you? I have two. - You got two? - No, I'm kidding. Shut up! I'm only 23. I feel extra positive, o. I feel like a calm energy. Like, I'm gonna just do my thing, fuck the rest. We got a new guy in the house. Oh, man! New guy alert. I'm starting to get nervous. - What up, my man? - What's up? What's up? My boy, you look like Tarzan! I appreciate that. - Man, you're looking good. - Tyler. - Tyler. Jesse, man. - Nice to meet you, other. Where you from, Australia? - Ohio. - O-H, baby! Let's go. - O-H-I-O, baby. - O-H-I-O, baby. Nothing being from the same place. They're both from Australia? - No. - I'mma start telling everybody I'm from Australia. I just got to come up with the accent. Just seconds in the villa and they're already throwing themselves at new boy Tyler. And the girls seem to like him as well, which is nice. Listen, you guys are going to die. Literally, my type is fucking athletes or successful surfers. - Same. - Literally. How did the Love Island gods know exactly what I needed? Like, I felt like it's, like, one of those grow-a-boyfriends, where you, like, get them at the store and you put it under water, and it grows. That's what happened. I've... Maybe manifestation really works. I mean, he's definitely my type, and he's so mature and he's smart. I'm just like, Damn! Andy's going to have to grow his hair out. Man, I wish I had some hair like that! I love his fucking hair, o. Shit! We should all, like, show so much interest that they start, Oh, my God! What should we do? Because that's what's going to make them show interest. Tyler could really shake some things up. I'm all open. Like, let's go. Just be flirty. Be really flirtatious. Watch this. - She's possessed. - What's up? Just wanted to cop a feel. That's a really nice back you got going there. - Thank you, I appreciate it. - Yeah, you're fit, honestly. - Thank you. I appreciate that. - We were all like, Sheesh! You had a tour yet, Tyler, of the place? We'll take him. Do you want to go? Yeah, we'll take you. The girls definitely seem to take a liking to me. Courtney and I are single right now, so we have our own beds. - Oh, what's going on? - What's up, my man? How you doing? I'm good, other. How are you? Tyler, nice to meet you, other. Tyler, nice to meet you, I'm Isaiah. Nice to meet you, my man. - What's up, family? - How you doing? How are you, other? Tyler definitely got his hair products on point. So I guess, you know, it's just a nice little swift kick in the pants that we all might need. Pressure makes diamonds, baby. Tyler's got the boys running scared. They're terrified he'll steal their thunder, steal their girls, and worst of all, steal their conditioner. Motherfucking fellas, man. What's up? What it do? We got Tarzan with the nice long ass hair or something. I'm like, Oh, boy, what do we got going on today? What would you feel if he starts pressing up on Mady? If he kind of went for Mady? Yeah, I'm going to press up a little bit. When pressure's applied I'm going to apply it right back. Let's say Tyler starts pressing up on Val, are you going to be like, Yeah, I gotta apply - some more pressure, too? - Yeah, 'cause, you know, every day here could be your last so, you know? - Okay! - Yeah. You're happy to be here? Yeah, I'm having a good time. Everybody's been super nice, super cool. I'm really loving your energy, you know? - Thank you. - What do you think about Deb? Deb's cute. Yeah. She's definitely good-looking. I definitely gotta pull her for a chat today. You see, if he press down on Deb, I'm definitely pressing down, you know? Yeah. I like that, o. Yeah, I'm definitely worried about a new guy entering the villa. It leaves a lot of room for Val or Deb to get swooped on. He's a good-looking man, got a great set of hair. So I got to apply some pressure and really try to secure my spot, you know, before I lose my spot. Jesse, he's telling me that he likes me. He's saying that, but, like, I don't know if I should believe it. Like, we do hold hands and we cuddle here and there, but, like, I don't really feel like he's showing any, like, much effort to, like, getting to know me or show me a lot of attention. Well, spice things up and pull Tyler for a chat. I do want to talk to him. Care if we go for a chat, Val? For sure, we can. - Oh, my God! No. - Oh, shit! I got a text! I got text! Islanders pucker up for today's game Kissing Booth. I get to kiss! Let's go, baby! Oh, my God! Yes! How nasty and exciting. Whoo! Welcome back to Love Island USA. Mady and Valerie stole Deb and Courtney's boys. And Deb and Courtney stole our truth or dare game, now we are stealing their kissing contest. Is that childish? No, you're childish. Let's do this! The boys will be blindfolded while wearing noise-canceling headphones. She's going in. The girls will make their way down the line, laying their saucy smackers on each boy. After the saliva swap, the boys rate each kiss out of 10. Tasty. Eight. The girl with the most points wins agging rights and a nasty case of stubble rash. Taste like honey. We like honey. Yeah. That shit was fire. That's all I got to say. 10 out of 10 for me. Isaiah gave me a 10, and I don't know if he knew it was me. So, I think with this one, I'm just going to let myself feel good about it. 53.5. You know, whoever that was, I need to keep them humble. So I'm going to say a 9.5. But that was fire. And it was a nice steady pace. Steady pace wins the race, yerr? Yeah, I'm going to give that one a 9, too. The only reason it's not a 10 is because it had to end. My only complaint, the only one is I'm not used to tilt my head left going in for the kiss. I'm used to right. I really liked that kiss. It's very poetic. Nine out of 10. Ooh, a poetic kiss. Valerie, like, is coupled up with the guy I like. So, I'm hoping that a little tongue, a little biting action is going to stir some shit up. - That was my 10. - Yeah! Wow. I am very honored to be able to receive a kiss like that. That I gotta go 10 out of 10. Rated her higher. I was like, Ugh! Like, I just feel like I just can't win right here. That was damn near perfect. Man, these girls are something else. They got a guy going crazy in here. That's a 9 right there. She had that, like, the car wiper action, like, side to side. She took me on a ride, yo. The winner... Valerie! I was expecting to win. I would say that. That's one thing that I've always gotten complimented on. And I guess it was true. It's the boys turn to engage in what is called the French kiss. Very different to the way you kiss your mum, which is called the Mother Pucker. - It's kinky. - Yeah. Lips taste like a homegrown meal from... from my grandma. You know what I'm saying? They just... it's just like... Oh, my... Hey, don't kiss my girl. - God damn, Uncle Sam. - I really liked it. It was definitely giving, like, stripper, Like, seductive. Stripper kisses like... Basically, you say you kissed a stripper before, right? - I don't kiss and tell. - Aha. Well, hot damn, diggity jam. Courtney, what's up? How was that kiss? Like a 6.5? I just needed more, like, fuck me against the wall right now kind of energy. And I was getting, like, we've been married for 10 years. - Yeah. - No offense. I got a little fanny flutters there. I liked that. That's a nine for me. Valerie, let me get that review. I'mma have to go with an 8. I feel like I was a bit generous. Probably would have been, like, a little lower if I didn't know it was him. I like more aggression maybe. It's like, Open your mouth, please. Now new boy Tyler gets a chance to, uh, introduce himself to each of the girls. Knocked my socks off. Definitely got to step my game up with Tyler here. I mean, look at the guy, man. He looks like Tarzan. - Deb, what's up? - I like this game. 9.5. I got a bite in there, that was hot. I could get into some trouble with that kiss. I'm going to give it a solid nine. I can't wait to do it again. Enough said. I don't feel Tyler is a competition for me. I like this game, you know. So, let's see how it's going to be. Ooh, it's getting spicy in Love Island. I'm, like, still not okay from it. I would rate that one a 9.5. If that went longer, it would have led to other things, though. Yeah. Oh, God. I only have one word and it's Damn. I think that might be the best kiss I've ever had in my life. 10 for me. I'm gonna give it a six because it was just, like, cute. Yeah, it was... Yeah. It felt like a sword fight, a little bit. It was like dagger tongue, you know? Yeah. It was definitely a good kiss, but, um... I think there could have been, like, a little bit more something. Okay. Got you. I think we don't need to talk about the kissing competition a whole lot more. Take it home. I have been told I'm a good kisser. I'm going to continue to feel confident 'til otherwise proven different. The way he was touching me, it was, like, very sensual. Like, that man really knew what he was doing. My baby Zeta at the end, I kind of gave a little extra pumpkin spice, yerr? I feel like that's Timmy's. I know his kisses. He's passionate kisser and he's very, like, hands-on when he wants to be. So yeah. That was like a 12 for me. So, I guess a 10, if that's the highest it can go. I loved everything. I didn't want it to stop. I just hope it's who I think it is. It's a 10 for sure. Easy peasy. 10 it is. I'm feeling pretty sexually aroused right now. Definitely got butterflies down there. I'm going to go 9.5. - Okay. - Good on you, lads. - Yeah. - I want more of that. All right. Happy camper. And our boy who scored the most and is in first place is... - Timmy. - Damn. Timmy? I literally thought it was a new guy in the building because I was like, Who the fuck is this? Like... That's what I'm talking about. - Speech! Speech! - Speech! Speech! Your speech, just say, You're welcome. I've been practicing all my life for this moment. And, you know, I just... I'm glad to share it with you guys. And I'm glad y'all were watching. That's it. Welcome back to Love Island USA. It was an afternoon spent blindfolded, wondering who's kissing you. But enough about my nan's 80th, the boys and girls are comparing notes. Hell of a game, man. Hell of a game. I ain't got no complaints, o. I'mma definitely get some lessons from my guy, Timmy. Timmy's kiss was really, really good. - Yeah. - I think... I just think... That's because he was the only one that touched, though. If they had all went for the ass grabbing, I would have been like, Come here. The way y'all got the motion. I mean, you know... I need some lessons. Step one is, like, I have lips. I have lips. So, like, that's just biology. I was born like this. And then from there, like, you just dance to the rhythm of the beat. You feel me? Kissing is like... It's like a flow. - You know what I'm saying? - Literally, o. - Like this... - Yum. Yum, yum. Tongue. Okay. Okay. Jesse's kiss for me was literally like... I want to just show you all, okay? I felt like I was kissing a 12-year-old boy, like... It wasn't the best kiss I've ever had in my life. I think Tyler's was better, but I just felt it more. I liked Tyler's kiss. - I was like, Damn. - Yeah. Jesse's still definitely my number one. But the best kiss of the day for me was Tyler. Yeah, he's hot. I like him. He can stay. But how was your experience, my guy? Solid first day, you kissed everybody, o. - Yeah. - Yeah. Shit. Which one did you... You was like, Oh, yeah, this is the one. Bro, low key, Deb. Mm. Val. Mady, too. Yeah, you know, I've always said that I don't really have a type, but... I really start to gravitate towards the blondes, I think. But then Hurricane Val came and she definitely knows what she's doing. Felipe came in hot, you know. - I felt that in my bones. - Yeah. I love that all the other girls loved kissing Felipe. I think it's hot. I give credit where it's due. I'm all for that. Later we have to play this game again. To see if we improve some scores. Yeah. This show is never predictable. Usually at this point we'd have a getting ready montage. But because new boy Tyler's here, we've mixed things up. And we're having a getting ready montage with Tyler in it. See? - How you feeling, o? - Feeling good, man, how you feeling? I just want to have a connection already. I want a boyfriend. I want a boyfriend so bad. Love really is the strongest thing on the planet. I'm done being a ho. I don't want to be a ho. I think everyone deserves to have, like, their version of a fairy tale. Oh, yeah, it's giving. It's giving. Isaiah had attempted to tell me his feelings today. I'mma pack one and I'mma dip the shit. Then I'm gonna... - And he said... - Wait, he did? That he likes me and that... Reverse it and then I'm gonna... He asked me if he could, like, put some more pressure on, like, me being his girl or whatever. - Aw! - Aw! Take a video and I'mma clip this shit. I just want to find someone, like, that, like, fucking wants me. Okurr. Boys are stupid. And she's ready. Fucking Tarzan. Man, fuck. - I'll do a little turn. - Oh, okay. Everyone's looking good as fuck. Yeah, season four.

Search Love Island USA on TikTok to find loads of exclusive content and all the latest juicy gossip from the villa everyone's talking about. Swerve Island, we out. Welcome back to Love Island USA. I've got a feeling the new boy is going to tear the roof off this villa. But don't worry, he is a Tyler, so he can stick it straight back on. Y'all excited to talk to anybody out here? You know, who you sniping first? Deb, honestly. I would definitely say, like, Deb is at the top of my list. It just like felt like a spark with her, I would say. And then Sereniti, definitely very easy on the eyes. But Val, after that kiss, o, was just, like, eye-opening. I was like, Whoa. - Whoa! - Literally, o. I was like, What the hell? Hell, yeah. We got to step up our game, man. You know, get on our shit. You know, Tyler's into Deb and Val. So, if I don't make a decision here soon, he's definitely going to swoop up on me. And, you know, I don't want him to choose for me. He's going to talk to Deb. - How you feel about that? - I got to get on my shit. You know what I am saying? How are you going to tell Deb how you feel? I'mma always have a soft spot for Deb. She never really left the number one spot in my heart, you know what I'm saying? I don't wanna disrespect Val in any type of way. More and more, though, it's just like... Deb. I say tonight you let her know, o. If you really want Deb... I mean, o, because he about to apply the pressure, o. So, I'm just saying, like, yo, if that's what you want, you might want to do that before she start looking some other type of way, o. Hell yeah. I mean, I can't play with the food on the table, you know, for too long. - It gets cold and stale. - Gonna get cold. Someone's going to heat that shit up. Tough, o, it's tough. Do you want to talk? Well, no, I was going to talk to Jesse. Oh, can I talk to you, though? - Oh, yeah. - Yeah. I just wanted to see, like, where you're head's at. Cause I'm, like, kind of... I feel like I'm getting, like, such mixed signals from Jesse. I don't know, I'm obviously feeling, like, very vulnerable, and, like, I have a strong connection with him, and I just, like, want you to, like, be honest. Honestly, like, with me, like... Like, if I wasn't feeling him, I would, like, say it. I mean, it's not like I'm not, like, feeling him at all, 'cause I am. It's just like, I haven't had the chance to get where I want to get with him. - Yeah. - You know, that is the issue. You know what threw me off a little bit was you said that, like, you and him have a strong connection and, like, he told me that, like, he and I also do. And then like, Zeta was telling me that, like, he ranks me, like, as his number one. And so, I just want to like- He told me he ranked me as his number one. Okay. Like, if there was to be a recoupling, like, would you actually pick me? And he was like, Yes, I would. - Oh, he said that? - Yeah. He's like, I am very much physically attracted to you and I feel like I can learn so much from you. Like, intellectually, like, you're such a smart girl. Right, that's interesting because Zeta told me that he literally said, like, the exact same thing about me. If he's telling you the same thing he's telling me, it's like, okay, how do we know which one's true? And at the same time he's like, Why would he be telling us the same thing in the first place? I'm feeling very much disrespected right now. Apparently, this whole time Jesse has been telling me and Deb the same things. And everybody knew except for me. Don't tell us the same motherfucking thing. - Hey, Deb. - Hi. - You wanna go for a chat? - Yeah. - You're good. - No, you are good. Okay. You all right? I just really wanted to talk to Valerie because I feel like she's, like, all over him. She chose him. He may feel obligated to continue that without feeling like a dickhead. - Right. - It's no excuse. Jesse does need to be called out. Welcome back to Love Island USA. Couple Val and Jesse are headed to the Treehouse. Val's smiling because she knows exactly what's about to happen. And Jesse's smiling because he has no idea what's about to happen. First, I want to know how you're feeling. Yeah, I feel great. I'm happy to share a bed with you, to be coupled up with you. I mean, look at you. You know what I mean? - Do you mean that, though? - Yes. You know, I said I needed to get to know you better and we hit it off so fucking fast. You really sparked and caught my eye real fucking fast, like that. Honestly, I just didn't come here to be in a trouple. I feel like that's what I'm in right now. A trouple? A triangle or trouble? Like a trouple. Like a three people couple. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. That's what I feel like I'm doing. 'Cause it's really hard for me whenever I'm, like, with the girls and they all mention how much... Oh, my God, Jesse just likes Deb so much. And then I literally just had a conversation with her, and she told me that you told her that she's your number one. Why didn't you tell me that from the beginning? Hundred percent honest with you... Because if I had known, I wouldn't have like, literally like... You wouldn't have picked me. I feel like I was being lied to. That's how I feel like right now. Because the other day you told me I would pick you. You said, Yeah, I have a strong connection with Deb. But I would pick you. You told me that. I said me and Deb have a strong connection. It's definitely undeniable. I know I told you that's never going to change. That's what I'm saying. And that's what I know... I want to know where I stand. And I want you to be honest with me. If I led you on, I'm truly sorry. I don't mean to do that at all. So now you're saying you're coupled with her? I am. All right, so that's all I need to know. So, one day you feel one of us, and then the other day you feel the other one? How the fuck does that make sense? Like, I feel like he just definitely just wasn't straight up. Like, he literally just didn't have the balls to say shit how it was. I said, Bye, Jesse. I'm over it. Peace out. On Sunday night... it's decision time for one girl... while one boy is on the prowl. Tell me about yourself, though. I haven't got to talk to you yet. Yeah. It's good news for me because you're at the top of my list. And the first re-coupling sends one Islander packing. >>>>oakislandtk www.opensubtitles.org
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the gypsy fair. We have come from the far corners of the earth just to give you pleasure. Our music will make you think you're in paradise and our dancing girl will make the young men's blood boil and the old ones wish that they were young again. It's all free, absolutely without charge. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen. Step right up so that there will be plenty of room for all. This way, right this way. We will meet Rhoda. She reads the secret of the human palm, locates lost and stolen articles, and correctly describes all events of the past, present, and future. Ladies and gentlemen, the great Rhoda! Chico and Cheena, they foretell the future and reveal for you the secrets of the past. Chico? Didn't I tell you to get Carla? Yes, sir. Since when does Carla look like that? I thought, I thought Gus, Gus would help me. Does it take two donkeys to find her? Go now and ing her. Hurry! Yes, sir. Gus, we've gotta find Carla. I-I'll get her, sir. I'll get her really. Gus, go. Should let the donkey ride you. Yes, sir. I will. But his teeth are green. No. Yes, they are green. Yes, my friend, they are green. That comes from eating grass, which in turn produces this silky, glossy coat I take pleasure in calling to your attention. But he's thin. Never before have I seen a horse so thin. Yeah, yes, but the horse is fat inside. This pushes the bony structure to the surface and makes him look thin. If the horse were fat outside, you would know that he was thin inside. Outside, inside, outside. Yes, my intelligent-looking friend. Bah! I can't even sell a horse without that girl. Where is Carla? Carla? Carla? Carla! Carla! Carla! Carla! Anube wants you. The whole place is full of villagers and they have so much money in their pockets, it, it tingles. Anube can wait. Some people think about other things than money. But we don't go around talking about it. Hurry, Carla, hurry. Anubi wants you. Hurry, please. He left the dead man. You could see him through those bushes. You look, I can't. It's too gruesome. You see nothing. Remember that. We gypsies get blamed for everything. For everything. I I saw nothing, I heard nothing. To tell you the truth, I'm not even here. But Carla, Anube said for your to hurry. Who is he? Who is who? The man who rode away. He's dead. No, I mean, he fell off. If it's that, no, I couldn't. I don't know. Please hurry. Hurry, Carla. You know how angry Anube can get. I don't give that about Anube. I know, but he'll blame it all on Gus. Let's make it fast, please. Hurry, Carla. Gus, we've gotta go fast. Let's go. Oh! Are you ready? Yes. Hmm, they have no appreciation of art. All they understand is a pretty girl. I will show them what an expert whip snapper can do. Are you ready? Are you ready? Yes! They like my trick. Maybe I don't need Carla. Are you ready? You're beautiful. Just to make sure you heard me. Her cheeks are red, her eyes are ight, her hair is black as wing of night. Let no blond man in her sight. Who is he? You have the look of a love sick calf. Time this foolishness was ended. When a man marries, that lovesick look leaves his face. That's easy to say, Father. When you knock and no one answers, why do you continue to knock? I cannot stop when I'm worried. Worried? What are you worried about? - That man. - What man? The man who was killed. Fool, what are you talking about? What man was killed? I didn't know, my chief, I never saw him before. When I went to find Carla, I saw a man pull an arrow from the man's back. Who was he? The man who was killed? No, you fool. The man who pulled the arrow. Was he one of my tribe? Yeah. Oh no, my chief, no. No, it was... Shh! It... Um. He's gone. Who's gone? The man who wasn't here. The man who wasn't here. They will blame the murder on the gypsies. We must move on at once. Pass the word. My lord, Abube and his tribe are your humble servants. You're leaving? But gypsies never linger. That's what I observe. Follow me. You only arrived yesterday. If I were sensitive, I might consider that a slight to my hospitality. Forgive us, my lord. It is our custom to move on. We sing, we dance. We read the past and foretell the future. That's good. Then you can tell me who among your tribe killed this man. Well? His body was found near here. Do you know him? No, my lord. How could a poor gypsy know such a fine gentlemen? You know nothing. Nothing? Well? I await the name of assassin. I give my solemn word, my lord, that not one of our tribe killed him. The word of a gypsy. We are not assassins! Hmm, what's your name? Carla. A lovely name for a lovely gypsy. Perhaps Carla, you can look into your cards and tell me the name of the murderer. I tell you without looking into my cards that it is not a gypsy. Forgive her, my lord. - She's young and spirited. - So I see. Now we'll put an end to all this. I command that you ing forth the murderer. But Your Excellency, we do not permit murders in our tribe. Why, if we ever find one such, we murder him. Quiet, you fool! We cannot produce what we don't possess. Then you're all under arrest. I'll hang you up by your thumbs until you or one of your tribe confesses. It was not one of us, sir. It was someone else. - Who? - Shh! It was the- I don't know, sir, but if none of us killed him, it must have been someone else. Extraordinary. Pay no attention to him, my lord. His sole friend is a mule. Has become difficult to tell the two apart. Captain Marver, clear them out of here. Get them in the wagons. Take them to the castle. Stand back! Get into your wagon! Get your people into the wagons! You will learn nothing by taking these gypsies to your castle. Perhaps I'd learn more if I took you. Perhaps. And perhaps you have no need of learning more. Who are you? My card. Why, you isolant cur, you! Captain Marver! Follow him! Bring him back with that arrow. Hello. Have I told you before that you're beautiful? What are you doing here? I saw you leave. You knew I was coming here? Yes. You are riding straight into a trap. The baron's men know this country. You don't. You do evidently. There is a road below here. Take that one. Who's that? Oh, that's Valdi. He's watching me. Watching? Yes. Valdi! Why have you done all this for me? I saw you pull the arrow from the dead man. You believe I killed him? No. Appearances are against me. There is a voice within all of us that never lies. Appearances often do. A voice was talking to me while you were dancing. Did you listen to it? I had to. It was shouting at me. Over the music? Over everything. You smiled at me while you were dancing. You dropped a coin in my tambourine. You sell your smiles? Kisses, too? I deserve that. Listen. The baron's men? No, no. Our inner voices are talking to us. What is yours saying? A beautiful gypsy girl smiled and danced her way into my heart. And mine is saying- Keep me there and never let me go. Good luck charm? It seems to be working today. Yes, for me. What? Carla! Carla! They're coming! Eh, Gus, we'd better, we've gotta go. Now wait a minute, now wait! Gus! Carla, they're coming! Carla! Gus, wait! Hurry, please, before they find you. Where are you going? I am going back to my people. Hee, boy, hee! If we had not come here, we would not be in such trouble. If, if. But we have come, and we are in trouble. 'Tis done. You are beautiful. Oh, I thought... Yes, I know. I say it with my violin. The stranger speaks it with his lips. Which do you like best? So long as they're said, I am pleased. I will teach you to love the words of my violin better. As soon as we are out of this trouble, my father will read the bans and we will be married. Maybe your father will want you to marry another girl. Another girl? For me, there is no other girl. Ever since we were little, I dreamed of no one but you. And when we are married, we will have a wagon to ourselves. Like the one we wanted when we were children. It will be painted light blue and- It will have red wheels. Yes, yes, and I'll paint your picture on each side so that everyone will know it is our wagon. It was a lovely dream. We'll make it come true. What's wrong, Carla? Is it that you do not like me? I do like you, Tonio. I have always liked you. But not well enough to marry me. Is that what you're trying to say? Please, Tonio, I don't want to talk about it anymore. It is the stranger. You speak to me, but you think of him. Yes, Tonio. I do think of him. I cannot help it. I need your help. I'm in trouble. He is in trouble. The baron's men, they're close behind me. Then let them catch you and roast you over a spit. You believe I killed him? Well, someone killed Count Orso. Ah, then you did know him. We were on our way to see him. If you are so innocent, why were you running away? You and your tribe are innocent, yet you are running away. The gypsy gets blamed for everything. Then hide me and I promise to help you. I'll find out who really killed Count Orso. Then you and your people will be free to go. He speaks wisely, Anube. If they do not find the murderer, one of our tribe will hang for the crime. I will hide you. Good. Get back in there. Why did you strike him? To deliver him to the baron personally in exchange for our freedom. The stranger! Anube's going to hand him over to the baron. It is what he deserves. Where is he? In Anube's wagon. Carla, stay here! Carla. Carla! What are you doing? The soldiers are after him. He begged me to hide him. He begged you to tie him up? It was my own idea. See he does not get away. With pleasure. Help me, Tonio. Please. Get your violin. If they come, play. I will sing. My father told me to stay here. Your father wants to deliver him to the baron personally. If that Captain Marver gets him, we will not be able to bargain for our freedom. Tonio. Please do it for me. I am a fool! But I'll do it. Hurry, please. Hurry. Why did he come here? Dodging the soldiers, he said, if you care to believe him. Don't you? He doesn't look to me like the kind who would dodge anything. Then why? For the same reason that you came running when you heard he was here. How did you know? I'm a fortune teller, remember? Here. Soldiers! Halt your caravan! Hold! Why do you stop us? Yes, we're on our way to the baron's castle. I am aware of that, but I have reasons to search our wagons now. Search? We have nothing to hide. We- That is for me to decide. - Who's in here? - Why, no one. Suppose the violin plays and sings by itself? No, I, I mean to say is that, that there's no one there except my son and one of our girls. Of course, if you'd like to search some of the other wagons, why... I prefer to look into this one. I'll go in first. Stop that noise. Is there anyone here who does not belong? No one but you and your men. Who's that? Why he's, uh, he's, uh- He's our clown. Yes, and when he's awake, he makes people laugh. It is very tiring being a clown. He sleeps most of the time. Even when he's asleep, he's very amusing. Wake up, wake up. Does he always sleep so soundly? Always. The way he sleeps, you would think he was hit on the head. Your jester must be a very funny fellow when awake. Oh, in all the world, there's none who can cause such laughter. Quiet, men. Outside. Did, did, did you ever hear such funny noises? Stranger who insulted the baron, did he come here? Oh no, mi capitan. He would not dare come here. You know if we lay our hands on him, we turn him over to you. Yes. Anube. You will not deliver him to the baron. You cannot. Is either him or one of us. It would be neither if you only allow him to find the real murderer. We have found him. He did not do it. How do you know? If he were guilty, I would know. I would feel it. Ah-ha, then you are more in love with him than I thought. Then you will not do it? Carla, I've looked after you ever since you was a little baby. I have too much affection for you to do anything to hurt you. Oh, Anube! I love you. Yes, you love him, you love me. That's what causes all the trouble. Too much love. Oh. What happened? Michael, you'll be safe with us. My lord, I trust that you and your guests are enjoying our humble effort. I am grateful for permission to entertain you so you know my people better. See how they dance! Listen to them play! How could any of them have murder in their hearts? They're like little children, simple children. You're annoying His Lordship. He desires your entertainers, not your oratory. Oh, but of course, a thousand pardons. What would it be? Singers, dancers, acrobats, jugglers? Captain Marver informs me you have a clown who made my troopers laugh even while he slept. Oh, clown. Why, why, yes, but I thought to save him for the last to leave you and your guests in the best of spirits. Our spirits need lifting at the moment. You will ing the clown before us. It shall be as you wish. The clown first. We are lost. They want the clown first. Me? But what can I do? Why don't you try sleeping? The soldiers thought you were funny while you slept. Fall down, make faces, act crazy like Valdi. But I don't know how. Leave it to Gus. Well, I'll try. Wait. Tonio, my music. My lord, that clown. Bring him to me. Come sit here beside me. It's a pity your clown ended his performance so a uptly. I thought him very amusing. He's very clever. Yes, he's clever enough to make us think he's a fool. To laugh at us while we laugh at him. Since he was interrupted, I've sent for him to complete his performance. He has disappeared, my lord. Well, allow no one to enter or leave the courtyard. Bring the gypsy leaders to me. You know this clown very well? No, my lord. I am barely acquainted with him. You sent for me? Yes. Where is the clown? The clown? Clow? What? Who can tell about a clown? You are no doubt aware that he is the stranger I'm seeking. The clown? Stranger? Oh, I wouldn't have believed it. You will cease this pretense. Yes, my lord. Now tell me what connection does this stranger have with your tribe? None. He came to our fair to have his fortune told. I'll tell you what his fortune is. It's death when my men find him. Now, my dear, who is this man? I do not know. You will tell me who he is or I'll force the truth from you. The iron! I regret the necessity for such violence, but you leave me no other means. She's telling the truth. She does not know this man! Please, my lord, he is my son. He means no harm. No, no, no, not Carla! You can't do this! What's stopped you, Baron? Your courage, my dear. I thought I'd save your men the trouble of searching for me. Your consideration shall not go unrewarded. In the manner of Count Orso, my lord? I rather expected you when I was about to put the anding iron to the lovely young gypsy, but you didn't rise to my bait. Well, what do you want? Release the gypsies. You fool no one by inging them here as your scapegoats. They must stand trial. I am the law here. There is the king. Do you think the king would listen to a lot of vagabonds? Might listen to me. Another vagabond. No, a court messenger. Court messenger? Does that surprise you, my lord? What are you doing here? I was sent here by His Majesty, the King, in response to an appeal for help by Count Orso. Unfortunately, I arrived too late to save his life. Perhaps you can explain why the arrow I found in the body of Count Orso had a red shaft and a gold crest, strangely like those. I might have mislaid one. In a man's back, my lord? I'm sure you're mistaken. I I'd like you to examine them a little more closely. They were made expressly for this bow. Get away from there. Now drop that knife, or I'll pin you to the chair from the front. That should be quite a novelty for you. That's the difference between us. You wouldn't kill me if my back was turned, while I... My lord! Open the door, Your Lordship! Answer me! Are you all right? Yes. Order him to release the gypsies. All of them. Release the gypsies. The girl, too? Yes, the girl, too. Break it down! Goodnight, guard. Goodnight. Oh! Wet this. Hurry. We've got to get him away from here. I've done all I'm going to do for him. Oh, Tonio, please. He's an outsider. He's not one of us. You've done enough for him, too. He's hurt. He is hurt? Soldiers. dramatic ominous music) Have this cleared up to be attended to. As I was saying, Marver, that is the famous Orso pendant, the only one of its kind in the world. What became of it? Supposed to have disappeared with the Countess Orso some twenty odd years ago. Then why worry about it? Because that pendant has reappeared. Where? On the throat of the gypsy girl, Carla. Come here. Now these are the vital statistics of the Orso family. Carla, infant daughter of the Countess Orso, lost at sea with her mother. Suppose that child was still alive. Then these estates would belong to her. Exactly. There's always a possibility that the gypsy girl is not the daughter. And there's always that pendant. How can you prove it? Force the truth out of the gypsy chief. Follow me! Wait. Hold it, Captain. We found Carla and her mother. Their ship had been wrecked. Where? Varna, on the Black Sea. The countess was dying. She placed the King's pendant around the baby's neck as proof of her birth. Of course. Why didn't you tell us this sooner? Would've saved all this unpleasantness. Let him down. Take him back to the dungeon. It's only Tonio returning with your horse. You'd better leave me here. The soldiers- That's for me to decide and for you to rest. Tonio. Tonio. Go and watch. You can see the road from over there. When the soldiers come, warn us. He can take care of himself. No. He needs our help. Stranger rides into our camp and everything that was beautiful dies. We're in trouble now. Thanks to him. He ought it on us, killing that man. He didn't kill him. The baron thinks he did. So do I. I told you I'm not gonna do anything for him. Then do it for me, Tonio. Well, I'm a fool, but I'll do it. Oh! You are a most unruly one. You sit up when you should lie down. He's in love with you. All gypsies are in love. Listen. Our gypsy song of freedom. I heard it yesterday in the wagon. Yes. We always sing it when we're in trouble. Of course, the noble thing would be for me to ride out of your life, but I don't feel noble. I feel wonderful. Fools! Tonio! Tonio! Carla! Carla! He's gone! You! I ought to bury this in your heart. That wouldn't answer anything. Where's Carla? The soldiers are here. She rode off on your horse to lead them away. Night patrol, one prisoner. Open the gate. They'll put her in the dungeon, maybe worse. We've got to get in there, Tonio. Our best chance to help them all is from the outside. What can we do on the outside? A lot more than we could do if we were locked up in the dungeon. Are you coming with me? No. I'm going to ride for help. I'll call the other gypsy tribes. I hope you've been made comfortable. Release her. You may leave us. Please forgive them. They're overzealous. Allow me. You have no need to fear me. I don't. There's a sudden change in your manner. Yesterday you wanted to burn me. That was only a rouse in the hopes that the stranger might show himself. Why are you so determined to capture him? I want to hang him for the murder of Count Orso. Then why do you hold my people? For harboring a murderer, helping him to escape. How long do you intend to hold them? That depends on you. On me? What did you want me to do? Marry me. Marry you? Why should you, a baron, want to marry a gypsy? Besides, I don't love you. I shouldn't think the prospect of being the Baroness Tovar should be so horrible. Excuse me. What is it? Excellent, Captain, excellent. If you will come with me, I'll show you a portion of the castle which I know will interest you. I believe it might influence your decision. Would you mind? Good shot! Wait till I come closer! Stop it! Stop it! Michael! Michael! Michael! Stand away, Carla. They'll kill you. This time, closer! Captain Marver, hold your arrows. Anube! Anube! Don't worry. Anube will be all right. - Who did this? - Shh. The baron. They will all die if you keep them here. A gypsy cannot live unless he's free. It is for you to say when they shall go free. As the Baroness Tovar, you're every wish would be obeyed. Don't do it, Carla. You mustn't! You can't! We would rather rot in here. Yes, we would rather rot! I wish them to be freed as soon as possible. The marriage will be performed upon the arrival of the high sheriff. The keys to the dungeon will be my first wedding gift to you. My, you'd make a lovely ide. It's the prettiest dress of the lot. Whose dress was this? It was last worn by Countess Orso, wife of him who was killed. What became of her? Her Ladyship and her baby were lost at sea. And when it happened, Count Orso locked everything up just as she'd left it. That happened over 20 years ago. Oh, dear. I'm coming. Coming! Good morning, my dear. Is there anything wrong, Your Lordship? No. The sight of so much beauty took my eath for a moment. She looks just like the painting. My dear, before nightfall, you will be the Baroness Tovar. Does it have to be today? The haste is for your sake. You want your people freed as soon as possible, don't you? Yes, of course. Michael, too. Micheal, too. All of you, I need your help. Carla is in trouble. She's a prisoner in the castle. Round up your men and follow me. Hurry. Too bad we can't have a wedding everyday! Men, a toast. To the new baroness. And to the lucky baron. And to the gypsies we are going to set free. Yes, just like we did Count Orso. You're late. There's plenty of wine for all. Any change? No, the gypsies are having a good time and the young fella's still tied up. Then get along with you. Smile, Anube. We're getting out of here. I can't smile. The welts on my back won't let me. We'll soon be even for those. Where's the knife? - Anube has it. - Good. Mustn't fail Carla. No. Are your people ready? I'm sure, but I'll see. Queen of diamonds is your sweetheart. The king of spades is a man who doesn't like you. The hand is quicker than the eye. Watch this. Mmm. So far so good. The one at the door will be difficult. The most soldierly fellow, this guard. And handsome. You see, he's not all soldier. Are you? I'd soon show you if I didn't have to stay out here. Maybe we can arrange it. Eh, doctor? What's that? It's the high sheriff. For the wedding?

But such a beautiful creature is well worth the sacrifice. Even now at my age. Oh, yes, yes, yes, my lord, I shall. He must be free Good gracious me. What's the matter? Anything wrong? That pendant. Where have I seen it before? You're imagining things. She's worn it ever since she was an infant. Oh, I, I couldn't have known you when we were in Foot South, could I? - Hardly. - No, of course not. Oh, rubbish. Sit down here and sign the record. Records? Oh, for the marriage to be legal, each of the contracting parties must sign the license. I don't know how to write my name. I never learned how to write. Never write? Oh, well, a little bit, my dear. You just make a cross there and then you can sign your name next to it. Unbelievable. Oh, unbelievable? It's very rude? For life is every day Now for all eternity a gypsy heart is free And we will die beside those for gypsy freedom Remember when Baron Dimitri was married? Raise your voices What are we cele ating? Now you spilled it. Oh, doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Dear, we'll make another one out quickly. So fight Let the mountain ring, we are free So fight Let them sing Listen to those crazy gypsies.

They're out of the dungeon. Come in. Fight, fight, fight Well? Sir, the gypsies have oken out of the dungeon. They're on their way here. - Well, call the guard. - I can't, sir.

If only the baron had our horses and we his! Then I must have a ring. That's part of your civilized ceremony. Yes, yes, it is. Of course, we can dispose of it. Did I ever tell you both about the wedding that I was officiating at some years ago? The ide was- Never mind that now, Sheriff. Get on with the ceremony. I asked you to remove the ring, not the finger! If Your Lordship would only stop somewhere and get some soap and water. Fly, my beauties, fly! Don't let your feet touch the earth! There! Use this.

I remember now. Countess. Ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen, I have the honor to inform you that, uh- Keep quiet. You were right, Michael. She is beautiful.
One by one, they called us down the basement. Paul asked me, Do you know that we're a otherhood? A secret society? He says, If we ask you to kill for us, would you? I said, Yes. If you listen to the oath, there's honor, there's integrity, there's loyalty. But unfortunately, none of it is true. I never seen the Sammy the Bull that the world knows. To me, he was my father. Why would I talk about what I do with a kid? -(gun cocks) -(gunshot rings) I'm doing murders. What am I going to do, come home, sit down, and say, Hey, you know who I killed today? Break an arm here, eak a leg there. Hey, you were a tough guy. They get to rationalize a lot of really bad behavior. They're doing this as part of their job. JOHN M.:To steal money through fear and intimidation. Each and every person that chose that world knew what they were getting into. Some women closed their eyes to things. For a lot of people, being wealthy and having whatever you want is worth whatever it is that you don't want to know. There was some dos and don'ts. Don't kill anybody without permission. Don't rat. That's the big one. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. I lived a double life. I live a family life, and I'm a gangster. Once you go in, it's all in or nothing. We shook the mafia. We shook the state of New York. We shook the whole world. About 5:30 this evening, right at this location, 46th Street east of 3rd Avenue, two people were shot numerous times. The only thing we can ascertain at this time was that it was three males wearing trench coats. Tentative identification is that it's Paul Castellano and Tom Bilotti. Castellano was, until two hours ago, the head of the largest organized crime family in the United States of America. He's gone now. There is a prevailing wisdom that says professional hitmen don't get caught. That's simply not true. I lowered the window, and I looked at Tommy. He was laying in the street in a huge puddle of blood. I couldn't see Paul. I told him Tommy was gone, and we took off. This is what the mob does. This is what we do. This is how we live. This is the true side of the mafia. This isn't somebody talking about the mafia. I am part of it. Did you say, What have I become? With that blood on my hands, what am I? I'm a gangster. I mean, as far as being a hitman, I actually was good at it. I got the job done. I shot him in the head. Twice. And uh... this is part of the life. I knew my father was a gangster. I knew my father was involved in Paul Castellano's murder. (from Wiseguy) Murder was the only way everybody stayed in line. It was the ultimate weapon. Nobody was immune. You got out of line, you got whacked. Everybody knew the rules, but still, people got out of line, and people still kept getting whacked. New York in the '70s and '80s was like the wild west. Bodies all over the place. It was insane. The city was completely out of control. Anarchy prevailed. The mob was going through a very violent period. It was a dangerous time in the mob's world. Sammy the Bull is a serial murderer. He's a psychopath and a sociopath who killed as many people as Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy combined. He's not a serial killer. He's not Jeffrey Dahmer. That's not what he is. He was a gangster. Sammy the Bull was a street thug who grew up in Bensonhurst. He gravitated towards the world of organized crime as a young boy. - Italian neighborhood? - Yeah. And your father had come over from Italy. Yes. - Outside Palermo. - Right. Old school dad? Old school, old thinking. Totally legitimate. What would your father have said if he had known that you were underboss of the Gambino family? I guess it would have oke his heart. Just like it would eak my heart if my son, or if my nephew, or somebody went into the mob, because I know their destiny. In our neighborhoods, you were a fireman, a cop, or a gangster. I mean, that's how it went. When we walked down the block, it was almost like that movie Goodfellas. There was all guys out there with suits or sport jackets, and hanging out, and shooting dice in the street. It was a very protected neighborhood, and I think a big part of that is the mob culture, because they kind of protect their own. Everybody knew everybody's business, but yet, looked the other way when they had to. Nobody knows nothing. We got window shades on our eyes, cotton balls in our ears, a zipper on our mouth. So they were growing up in a neighborhood that's basically a campus for future gangsters. My father could have been anything, but he chose the street life. Because that's what he's seen, that was what was in his community, that's what was looked up to. You had no other choice. You either got tough, or you fell to the wayside. And that was it. Growing up in the streets, you know, there were guys, they were fighting all the time. It's the neighborhood. It's how you grow up. It was just the allure of being, you know, being bad. And who were you? How did you introduce yourself, by the way? Was it Sammy the Bull? Not Sammy the Bull. Sammy the Bull was a nickname that's made up by other people. It started when I was a kid, actually. A few kids robbed my bike. And I start fighting like crazy to get it back. And across the street there was our local mob, mafia hangout, they oke it up. And one of the guys, he said, What are you crying about? You won the fight. He says, Look at him, he's like a little bull. Sammy the Bull. And it stuck all my life. They would give you a nickname at an early age, and now, you felt it was incumbent upon you to earn that nickname. Instead of realizing, that is nonsense. (from Wiseguy) The men at the cabstand were not like anybody else from the neighborhood. They wore silk suits in the morning. They flashed wads of $20 bills as round as softballs. And they sported diamond pinky rings the size of walnuts. The sight of all that wealth, and power, and girth was intoxicating. The people that get recruited are typically young men. They like the cars. They like the girls. They like the money. You know, I mean, I probably grew up seeing everybody in my life having at least, you know, $5,000, $6,000 cash on them. That was, like, the thing back in the day, right? What was their presence in the neighborhood? Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, was saturated with the mafia. Every club, every bar, every place you went. Probably every family had a social club. The Genoveses had a social club, the Colombos, everybody had a social club. So my father, he started taking me to all these social clubs to introduce me to them, to tell them, This is my son, so, if you see him, look out for him, and all that. And I was about 13. The March of the Wooden Soldiers, the March of the future gavones who want to be made men, and will do anything. Oh, we'll eak into cars. We'll boost products. And they started out by just being errand boys. Hey, give me a cup of coffee, kid. Get me the Daily News. And then, all of a sudden, he'd spot him with a five, an A aham Lincoln, Hey, you want the change? Nah, kid, you did a good job. But they'd start greasing 'em. It's all about money. It's all about money. Back then, gangs were big. You know, all ethnicities had gangs. Neighborhoods had gangs. Sammy was in a group called the Rampers. I was doing loan sharking, stealing cars, doing burglaries. Break an arm here, eak a leg there. He had all the attributes of being a gangster. Did he have options not to join the mob? Absolutely. But once you go in, it's all in or nothing. And when I did finally go into the mob, it was for money. It was for greed. It was for women. It was for fast cars. It was being part of a society, part of a otherhood. He believed in it so deeply, you know, with everything inside of him. He became loyal to Cosa Nostra, and that was his life. And that's who he was, that's what he became. He worked his way up. He was a-- He became a made member of the Gambino crime family. 1970. You're what, 24, 25 years old? Yeah. They tell you to kill someone. Did you think of saying no? No. Not at all. Yeah, but this is murder. It's going to be murder. I mean, everybody in this life, at one point or another, does work, murders. This is part of the life. (from Wiseguy) Life was lived without a safety net. They wanted money. They wanted power. And they were willing to do anything necessary to achieve their ends. By birth, certainly, they were not prepared in any way to achieve their desires. They were not the smartest kids in the neighborhood. They weren't even the toughest. In fact, they lacked almost all the necessary talents that may have helped them satisfy the appetites of their dreams. Except one: their talent for violence. My name is Anthony Ruggiano, Junior. I'm the son of Anthony Fat Anthony Ruggiano, who became a made member of the American mafia in 1953. In the mob they call murder, work. My father used to tell me he did a piece of work. I knew he'd committed a homicide. So work was the key word. Work just meant murder. That's my father, Fat Anthony, with a drink in his hand. He always had a drink in his hand. My father would give you the shirt off his back, and then hit you on the head with an axe, and go home and eat dinner. 1970. You're 24, 25 years old. Yeah. They tell you to kill someone. Did you think of saying no? No. I knew sooner or later that question would come. Joe Colucci was a friend of my father's. He was also my father's first murder. What did you do in this case? We were all out drinking together. And on the way home, (sighs) I got in the back of the car. I shot him in the head. Twice. It sounded like a cannon that went off. I felt a feeling of everything going into like a slow motion. And I hit him again. And then, his body shook, and he slumped down a little bit. It was like there was nothing outside this car. There was no people. There was no road. Nothing but me and him. I took him to Far Rockaway, where we threw his body out of the car, and I shot him three more times in the back. I remember something that surprised me that I had no remorse at all. It is horrible, and it is hideous, and there is hurt, and there is pain, because I feel it. But these men were gangsters. And each and every person that chose that world knew what they were getting into. After that murder, they congratulated me on a job well done. And then, at that point, I guess, my life changed. I would go to the same club, and got on line, and before you know it, the bouncers, the owners came out, Sammy, no, no, you don't have to wait on line. You just come right in. And everything started to change. I could see that my father was very powerful, because the way people respected him, the handshake, the kiss on the cheek. Everybody knew who Sammy was. You got to the front of the line. Even in Manhattan, Studio 54. It was the disco era, the silver ball, all of that. You got to the club, naturally, you drink, you do a few lines of cocaine in the bathroom, and now you're feeling like a million bucks. I used to go to the Copa. Just like in Goodfellas, in the movie. I used to go in through the basement, up through the kitchen. What do you do? -What? -What do you do? I'm in construction. And they panned the people in the Bamboo Lounge. HENRY HILL (In Goodfellas): And then there was Mo Black's other, Fat Andy. How you doin'? And they were naming the names. And then they said Fat Andy, and all my friends at the same time said, That's your father? And I said, Oh! (bleep) That was like my life. That was like my life, that movie. You know, sitting in the front, and how everything was given to us, and the whole lifestyle. Goodfellas was more real life, especially talking about the effect that cocaine had. White powder. Everybody was doing coke. The money's pouring in, and you're hanging out with these people. David Bowie. My uncle Junior starts telling David Bowie dirty jokes. He's hysterical laughing. I'm there until 4:00 in the morning with them. And that was my life. And, you know, you just think it's never going to end. The mafia, which was originally called mafioso, was started in the Middle Ages as a secret society in Sicily. And it was to combat the foreign invaders. The Sicilian Mafia, they believed that this is how you had to live Cosa Nostra. Cosa Nostra is this thing of ours. The way it was explained to me, was in Italy, communities protected their own. So it was like, this is ours. We protect. When we take that oath, we are told straight out, Cosa Nostra comes before anything in your life, anything. They tell you, if your son is dying in bed with cancer, and he's only got an hour left to live, if we call for you, you come immediately and leave his side. You don't go with anybody's wife. Don't rat. That's the big one. Don't cooperate with the government. There's also no drug dealing. Because it held a stiff sentence it could possibly put you in a position to cooperate. Many of them consider what they do almost military in nature. They consider themselves soldiers. So they believe when your boss tells you you have to kill somebody, they feel they're doing the right thing. That being the case, they get to rationalize a lot of really bad behavior. You wouldn't think of calling a soldier in war a murderer, so therefore, if they're a soldier, and they're at war, they're not murderers, either. They're doing this as part of their job. My father said, When I took my oath to Cosa Nostra, I gave up everything. At the ceremony, it was 14 guys. And one by one, they called us down the basement. Dim lights. Real smoky. And when I walked down, there was Paul Castellano. And Paul asked me, Do you know that we're a otherhood? A secret society? He says, Would you want to belong to this? I said yes. He says, If we ask you to kill for us, would you? I said yes. And he asked me, What finger would you pull the trigger? And I pointed to my index finger. There was a picture of a saint on the table. They pricked my finger to get blood out of it. Put the blood on the saint. They put it in my hand, and then they lit it. And just said, If you betray this otherhood, may your soul burn like this saint. I really believed in it, with my heart and soul. And if you listen to the oath, there's honor, there's respect, there's integrity, there's loyalty. There's a otherhood, there's a secret society. Uh... And these are words that I wanted to hear. And that I was totally loyal to. But unfortunately, none of it is true. Paul Castellano was, until two hours ago, the head of the largest organized crime family in the United States of America. New York in the '80s and '90s was a very, very interesting place. Because, you know, New York was full of great New York characters then. People that would make the headlines day after day. I didn't think that somebody like Trump would turn out to be the president of the United States, nor did I think that John Gotti would rise to become such a prominent cele ity. But they did, because New York loves a character. My father was one of 13 children from the Bronx. They moved to east New York, Brooklyn, where he set up his roots. Dirt poor. My father and his siblings always had to fight their way to get anything in life. They had nothing and he strived for great things. He strived to be something more. John, you either loved him or hated him. He was that kind of a lightning rod. The thing I find most interesting about John Gotti as a character is that he is a pure gangster. He strikes me as the type of guy that there is nothing else he ever wanted to be. When he decided to become a gangster, he went all the way. It's almost as if, like, a kid wants to grow up to be president. Of course, there were fireworks in Ozone Park tonight. Lots of them. In the air and on the ground. In Ozone Park, you know, which was in Queens or right over the Brooklyn/Queens border where John Gotti lived, he was a hero. On top of the roofs, they had crates of firecrackers, cherry bombs, M-80s. And they put on a cele ation that almost equaled Macy's. And everybody's, Oh, what a great guy. Your Thanks, John hat on. Thanks, John, who? -Gotti. Who else? - For what? For having this big party. Yeah? Do you know anything about John Gotti? No. If I did, I wouldn't say anyway. I think he developed this rep as a Robin Hood, and a glamorous Robin Hood. He wasn't living in the forest. He was wearing, you know, $1,000 suits and getting his hair blown out every day. And the media fed the beast. He was a stone-cold killer. And he attracted men who themselves had a lust for blood. This guy would have you whacked because you showed up late for a meeting at the Bergin Hunt, Fish, and Shoot Human Beings Club. Do you remember the first time you met John Gotti? I was in an after-hour club which had gambling and stuff. He seemed smart. He seemed nervy. He was a tough guy in the street. Yeah. He impressed me a little bit. He knew how to take a punch. He knew how to give a punch. He wasn't afraid of the cops. He wasn't afraid of anybody. He was a mobster's mobster. There was no other career that John Gotti was going to pursue, and the same could be said for Sammy. I think that they were both very dangerous men. I think they were both very tough men. Sammy's got a strong reputation, known to be reliable, to get things done. He was a professional killer, and he caught the eye of John Gotti right around the same time Gotti was rising up and assassinated Paul Castellano, who had been the boss of the Gambino family. Paul Castellano wasn't a gangster. He was a racketeer. Brilliant man. He used to sit in that house in Staten Island -reading The WSJ and The Times. - Big house. You know, John Gotti, Sammy, they were street guys. So they were a different eed than him. He wasn't a gangster. JOHN M.: Gotti didn't like the way the family was being run by Castellano. And he also thought, if you kill the boss, you could take over the family, and then, you could be the boss. When Paul got hit, it was such a shock to people that are in the inner circle. Taboo. A boss was just gunned down in the middle of the street. I think the Castellano hit, for me, was the first time I realized how dangerous my father's life was outside the home. There's an organization within the mob that manages all of the mob families in the country. And it was known as The Commission. And the five bosses of the New York families sit on The Commission. So you'd need the approval of all five, you know, bosses, would have to agree on something like that. So they say, We go to The Commission. They all sit down. They take a vote. And then, even if they say no to me, I put my tail between my legs, and I accept it because it's the dons. Such nonsense. Gotti sent his right-hand man, Angelo. He says, Sammy, he says, We're going to take out Paul. We sent word to John that we were not only going to permit it to happen, but we were going to join it. We were taking Paul down. So John Gotti, he didn't have permission to do that, but he did it anyway, because he knew, the bottom line was nobody liked Paul. So they form a crew together that's going to set up the meeting at Sparks. The next day when we met, they were told, Don't back off. Don't run, even if there's cops. Kill them. And if you-- if it means you have to die there, then die there with them. Do not back off of this hit. There were four shooters that actually pulled the trigger. There were three more backup shooters out on the street. I got this little map in front of me of Sparks Steak House and the hit. I planned this hit, now I'm going to tell you how it came down. Outside of Sparks Steak House, there's two shooters. They're ready. There's a shooter here. Shooter here. A shooter here. A shooter here. The hit guys were all dressed in, like, a white, short trench coat and black Russian hats. It was December 16th, 1985. That's when everything changed. In 1985. Me and John Gotti are parked in the car right here waiting for them to show up. This car pulls up right next to me. It was a Lincoln. And... I turned around to my right. The dome light was on, the tinted windows, and Paul was in there. I leaned down in my chair, and I told John, I said, John, they're right next to us. I pulled out the-- my gun, and I told John, If he turns in our direction, I'm going to start shooting, right here and now. They never turned. The light changed. They pulled in front of Sparks. They parked the car. As soon as Paul opened up the door-- These two shooters take out Paul Castellano. Tommy Bilotti gets out of the car. These two shooters converge on him. We pulled next to them. I put the window down slightly. I looked at Tommy-- he was stretched out in a huge puddle of blood. I told John, He's gone. And even before we got back to my office, it was on the news. After the shooting, the three gunmen ran that way towards second avenue and a waiting car. Police say that Paul Castellano, the reputed head of the Gambino crime family, and another man were shot and killed. John Gotti committed the cardinal sin. He killed the boss without a Commission ruling. That's like an earthquake in the world of the mob. Who did it? Why? Who authorized it? Was it not authorized? And then, who will pay for it? My mind was going over what happened, what was about to come. We knew when we did this, we were at war. We shook the mafia. We shook the state of New York. We shook the whole world. They said it was for family only. The wake tonight for big Paul Castellano. REPORTER 2: Gotti allegedly wanted to show his respects by coming here, but instead, preferred to stay away, because of all the undercover cops in the area who would like to talk to him about the murder of Paul Castellano. Before the killing of Paul Castellano in 1985, I mean, no one in New York City knew who John Gotti was. John Gotti takes the throne when they kill Paul Castellano. Eight days later, on Christmas Eve, more than 200 wise guys or would-be wise guys, showed up to pay homage to John Gotti at the Ravenite Social Club. And that was the end of Paul Castellano and the beginning of John Gotti's reign as boss of the Gambino crime family. John Gotti was the poster child for organized crime. He put his face out there. He drew people into a world that you only seen in movies. It was as if you called central casting and said, Send me a mob boss. I want the modern version of Capone. He was flashy, and he was always well-groomed, and he like, sported around. And it was like everything that we learned in The Godfather that a mafia guy would never do. I want reliable people, people that aren't going to be carried away. My father was probably the most charismatic, intelligent, handsome tough guy that you'll ever come across in your life. You see him on TV, and he just has this swagger about him. He almost commanded respect. JOHN He was, he was over the top. And he was taking full advantage of his cele ity. He was dapper. He looked the part. I mean, if you wanted to hold the mob up and say, Hey, this is what we look like, you'd hold up John Gotti. I think his problem was that he fell in love with himself. He saw himself on television, in the newspapers, and he lost touch with what he was, that he's a gangster, not an actor. At one point I know back in New York City, John Gotti was posing for pictures with tourists. He said, This is my public. My public. From my teaching and my understanding of Cosa Nostra, it's a secret society. We have no public. What about his life, the way he lived? He used to leave his house about 11:00, 12:00 in the afternoon. Good morning, Mr. Gotti. He had somebody picking out his shirt and his tie and his shoes. He used to have a barber come every single day and give him a haircut. You guys and Giuliani should be in church. ...and cut the hairs in his nose. It was a performance for the media, or people who were going to see him. So John Gotti was a guy, when he was done with his business, he'd go out gallivanting all night long into the early hours of every night during the week. Sammy Gravano's going back home to his family. The personalities were a little bit different. John's first care was the Gambino family, not the John Gotti personal family. Sammy kind of split it. He was very, very loyal to the Gambino family, but his personal family was equally important to him. This is me and my wife. And here's a picture of me, my wife, and my son on our farm. This farm was gorgeous. This was something that I literally got away from the mob and went to this farm and chilled out with my family. It was like really living, uh... two lives. About a year or after we were married, we had my daughter, Karen. A couple of years after that, we had my son, Gerard. I knew my father was respected, and a lot of people looked up to him but he never came home and spoke about what he used to do on the streets. Growing up, all my memories were great. I had a great life. You know, I grew up very family oriented. There was parties. There was a lot of family around me. Growing up, I feel like he was home most of the times, 5:00, 6:00 for dinner. We'd all sit down. Dinner would be ready. My mother was there. My sister was there. It was really just a normal life for me. I'd never seen the Sammy the Bull that the world knows. I'd never seen the dangerous side or, you know, him being so powerful. To me, he was my father. I think I'm two people sometimes. I live a family life, and I'm a gangster. I know my mother's experience. She wanted the white picket fence, and the house, and the backyard with the dogs running around. But she loved her husband. And she loved him for the way he loved us, her kids. The wives took care of the family. Okay? They took care of everything and anything to do with the home. Most men were married, had a wife, family, and then they also had the girlfriend, the goumada. I was a girlfriend. I had said once, Where families are involved, you have to become a liar. You have to. They were off doing all this illegal stuff, and the wife just thought, you know, he was just off doing his thing. I think-- I would be a liar if I said she didn't know. She just knew not to ask questions, because his life was so, you know, separate outside. He never dumped his lifestyle on us, so she was able to look away. Some women close their eyes to things. They don't want to hear it. They don't want to know. I think a lot of it was, Oh, look at this beautiful ring I got. Oh, I'm getting a fur coat. And for a lot of people, being wealthy and having whatever you want is worth whatever it is that you don't want to know. I didn't even realize my father was in the mafia until probably 1990. As far as I was concerned, my father was in the construction business. Why would I talk about what I do with a kid? I'm doing murders. What am I going to do, come home, sit down at the table, Hey, you know who I killed today? Joe Blow. You won't see him no more. (laughs) I mean, I can't do that. Right? As my father rose in the mob, you know, he wanted to try out, I guess, bigger and better things. And he wanted to move to Todt Hill. He found a beautiful home. I hated Todt Hill. I hated living there. We grew up in Bulls Head, in Staten Island. Todt Hill was very different than Bulls Head, and one of the kids told my other that we weren't allowed to come in the house because of who my father was. They didn't want my kids playing with their kids because I was a gangster. I walked right down the block to the house, and I rang the bell. And I said, Is your husband home? Who are you? I'm Sammy the Bull. I'm the guy that your (bleep) kids are not allowed to play with. A guy came to the door. I never said that. I never did that. Bro, are you a good dad to your kids? Yeah, yeah. What if they didn't have a dad? You think this is going to end good for you? He was, I think, petrified. And it woke me up because I said, What the (bleep) are you doing? They're legitimate people. This guy is (bleep) in his pants right now. And I left. My father halted construction on the house. He sold it and we moved right back to Bulls Head. He wanted us to be around people that we're used to, that we're you know, we're like them. Even though I had a lot of friends there, we were still different in their eyes. My father was a gangster. There is a lot of collateral damage. You have to live it, and see it, and maybe take the step to talk about it. There's a message. There's a message. I forget how big of a deal John Gotti is to people. My relationship with him was, like, you know, he was the boss. I knew him when he was just a young guy. Before you were born, I would take your other to the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club, and he would jump on John, and pull his tie and everything. And John used to laugh and, you know, because you knew him. So, you know, people ask me, Oh, he was a killer, and he was this, and he was that. Yeah, they were all that. But you know what? They loved me. And I loved them. The press was totally fascinated by Gotti after he took over the family. So many times, you'd see Gotti walking down Mulberry Street to the Ravenite Club, which was their headquarters. And Sammy the Bull would be, invariably, with him. And John Gotti was so enamored of Sammy the Bull that he made him his underboss. Me and John ran the family. It was me and him against the world. So you would go to shake Sammy's hand, and he would go like this. And he wouldn't. Because you had to shake John's hand first because John was the boss. You could tell by the body language that they were very close. They spoke with their heads close together. They whispered to each other. John Gotti trusted him implicitly. John had Sammy to make sure that what John wanted done in the family got done. He would deal with the other families, and manage or negotiate disputes. He would oversee the hits that had to be ordered. Within the Gambino crime family, Sammy was looked at as smart because he had companies, and legitimate businesses, and he made money. Sammy had all the construction, state contracts, city contracts. I mean, they were making money on a scale like millions upon millions of dollars. I literally marvel at the sight of Manhattan when I see it, because I controlled it. I literally controlled Manhattan. When I see it at night, those lights, and everything about it, I think of Donald Trump, and everybody else who couldn't build a building if I didn't want them to build it. That got me off. Plus I made a lot of money with it. I think the most fascinating thing about Sammy the Bull, to me, is that if he had not become a gangster, I think he would have been an incredibly successful businessman. He could spot something that was making money. He could spot the vulnerability where the threat of force, and the hand of the mob could reach in there and exploit that. He had a pretty good way of instilling fear in people. He has 19 murders chalked up to his record. How far did your tentacles reach in the businesses? Everything. Everything. You name it, we did it. The garment industry, what you pay for your clothes, there's a tack on for us. An extra dollar on a window, gas a penny a gallon. I remember hearing $4 put on for every pair of jeans. Garbage, we controlled it. Restaurants, bartenders, and waitresses, we controlled it. The unions, the teamsters. Transportation, trucking industry. The waterfront. Whatever it was in buildings that were being built in New York City and the surrounding areas, the mob had some sort of involvement. And my father was the go-to guy. How much money was the Gambino family taking in? I couldn't even imagine it. I was making a couple of million a year. I had a house on Staten Island worth about a half a mil. I had a 30-acre horse farm in New Jersey. I had a little 560SEL Mercedes. So I was living pretty decent. Were there signs? Yeah, my father would come home, like, I would help him count the cash. Like, he had wads of cash. He would empty them out on the kitchen table, and I would help him. That would be like my job. John was making, uh... I would say anywhere between $5 and $20 million a year. We raped the community on a constant basis in every way, shape, or form. What did you say to yourselves? When you're doing this to other people? What do we say to ourselves while we're at the table cutting up the money? We didn't say too much. We'd just cut up the money. It was-- it was for greed. There's no honor in a lot of things that we do. (from Wiseguy) Violence was natural to them. It fueled them. The common knowledge that they would unquestionably take a life ironically gave them life. If they were crossed, denied, offended, thwarted in any way, or even mildly annoyed, retribution was demanded. And violence was their answer. We killed amongst ourselves in-- according to our rules. I never killed a legitimate person. I never woke up one morning saying, I'd like to go kill somebody. It was for what you did. And most of the times, you did something that you deserve to die for. So I don't have no mercy for you, really. Most times they end up shooting their own because who are you hanging out with most of the time? You're in the social club with your own guys. You hear all the gossip. This guy did this, this guy didn't-- Then all of a sudden you want to go out and settle all scores. You think, hey, you're a tough guy. Very often in the mob, murder is very personal. It's people you know. I mean, they always say, the guy who will get you is your best friend, because that's the person who can make you comfortable enough to show up at that meeting where you'll get killed. So, Louis Milito was actually Gravano's best childhood friend. Not only someone that I considered my father's friend, but he was an uncle to me. I was around him a lot as a child growing up. His family-- he was Cosa Nostra, like my father. I said, Uncle Sammy, I haven't talked to my father in two days, and he didn't go to work. Is something wrong? He said, Oh, princess, he's fine. He's fine. I said, I don't know where he is, and it's just strange. And her mother said, when Sammy walked out, He killed your father. Her mother knew. And you felt nothing then either? Oh, I absolutely felt something. Tore me up. I knew the wife. I knew the children. It killed me inside. My father was a wonderful man. Just the way he used to hold me, and the way we'd laugh together. Just his smile. There was nothing I could do to stop the hit. It was done quick. It was over, and it killed me. You cannot possibly expect me to believe that killing my father was one of the hardest things he had to do. I don't buy it for a day. But this is the life. He betrayed us, and he was caught at it, and he was killed. My father's remains have never been found. You are the single most important witness ever to testify against the mob. I think I am. This guy was a greedy, green-eyed little monster. John is a double crosser. I'm a master double crosser. We played chess, and he lost. He's a rat. He ate the Parmesan cheese. This is the true side of the mafia. This isn't somebody talking about the mafia. I am part of it. Oh, my God, your father's 'Sammy the Bull,' can we get an autograph? He didn't come home and tell me the details. I knew he killed a few people. He's like, 19. I'm like, okay, I didn't think it was-- you know, that was lot. My father was the 19th victim of Sammy The Bull Gravano. You got it done. Oh, I got the job done. He was a professional killer and he caught the eye of John Gotti. It's clear that John was setting my father up. I look at it as, I was betrayed, I betrayed him. He just looked at me and he said, I'm gonna cooperate with the government. That was everything that I was taught never to do. He's a rat! He ate the Parmesan cheese. Whoa! JOHN M.: He became the most famous mob witness in history. They could hug you, they could kiss you, they could smile, and they could shoot you in the (bleep) head. (gunshot) He's got 19 murders, but at least nine lives. Is he sorry? Is he remorseful? Where are his amends? I've experienced everything that that lifestyle has ought upon my family, whether it's heartache, happiness, betrayal, I've experienced it all. Happy birthday For my Sweet 16, my father had it at a very well-known gangster hangout. And when I was first introduced to John Gotti, I walked over and my father said, Say hello to Uncle John. And I said hello to Uncle John, and he gave me an envelope and in the envelope was, you know, ten $100 bills. My father chose an untraditional path. He chose a career that, you know, most people don't choose but, you know, I wish that we could have had different. But we don't. A lot of families, they said were affected by the mafia, and they were. I don't think we were. We became-- we were in a way, in one way. Right. In another way, it made us tighter and that you guys understood me and what was going on. I mean, I don't-- I don't-- I do disagree with you with that because I think that every family was affected in a way. Um, we were definitely affected but it's how people deal with the effect, how people deal with the aftermath. I've come to understand fully that there's two sides to people. So they think that the mafia, you look at them, they're all animals. No, it's not so. The men that were involved in my father's lives, they weren't gangsters to me. They were my uncles, they were people I loved. People that I felt would take care of me and protect me. Cosa Nostra is our thing. It's everything you've seen in The Godfather. It's-- It's all true. You spend time with your family? Sure, I do. Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. It's about family, but it's also about control and power. All male dominated. There's no-- there's nobody female in the mafia. Never was-- Not in the Italian one, anyway. Never will be. There's no doubt The Godfather was the greatest mob movie of all time. It elevated the status of that life. I mean, look, Don Corleone, the way he carried himself, guys on the street started to carry themselves differently because of The Godfather. You see a lot of family culture when they have the big Italian weddings. I mean, it was just-- everything was over the top and everything centered around food and family and music at that time. You know, Frank Sinatra was very big. Well, I think that The Godfather changed everybody's perception of the mafia. Before that, they were just considered low-life thugs and Italians in general were looked down upon. Then The Godfather told a different story and glamorized it. Here was this saint-like figure, Marlon Brando, the head of the Corleone family. He was like ready for beatification. Hey, Pope, you forgot this guy, you know, He's entitled to sainthood. When they were all what we would call un animales, although that's really not saying much about the animal world that we live in. They're sub animales, the worst. That's the first time I went to prison. I'm Toni Lee Ruggiano, I'm the daughter of Anthony Ruggiano Jr. and the granddaughter of Fat Andy Ruggiano. When I was little, I knew my dad as an inmate. I knew that he loved me, and like, I knew that he cared about us as a family, like, I knew him in pieces. Look at this picture... who's that? What does that ing back? This was my favorite video to watch when I was little. I used to watch it on repeat. I used to be obsessed with my parents' wedding video. I literally would watch it multiple times a day. I had it memorized, every single song that played in it, how his face looked when he walked down the aisle, um, the way he looked at my mom. Like, it was just-- looked like such a happy cele ation. Brother was there dancing and like, you know, being goofy. - You were there, too. laughs Yes, mom was pregnant with me. And I think it was just a way for me to see you as well, outside of like, in a different-- Like, I would have watched any video with you in it to see like, how you interact with other people, how you interact outside of jail, you know? This Cosa Nostra, this whole life, affects the kids, the parents, the wives. It's-- It's far-reaching, the effects. Every day of your life when you're in that life, you're violating the laws of man and the laws of God. That's it. That's it, and anybody that tries to sugarcoat it is just not telling the truth. He didn't come home and tell me the details. I knew he killed a few people. As far as I'm concerned, they deserved it. I would have done anything for him and my family. I'm just always fascinated by the ability of people to-- to completely divorce themselves from the dark reality of the consequences of their actions. If you're in the mob and you're a killer, you actually desensitize yourself to even who the victim was, because often they're very close to you. When I hear the story of Sammy and his other-in-law, you know, a family member? Listen, I can tell you this, if I was put in that position, I couldn't do it-- I wouldn't do it. When you talk about killing a best friend or a other-in-law like Sammy had to do, I don't know that the reasons are there to justify it, but in that life, there's been how many murders over the years and none of them were right. -Nick Scibetta. -That was my wife's other. That was another one that killed me. For 14 years, I mean, going back-- or whatever time passed-- I mean, to see my wife, my mother-in-law, my father-in-law, people... It just tore me up. Did you tell them, did they know? No, what do you want me to do? Go home and tell them, I just killed your son? Or your other? No, of course not. -They didn't suspect? - No. Your wife didn't suspect? No. When did she find out? When I told the government of everything I've done. Did she say something? I think she was in a little bit of shock over it but she really didn't say too much about it. A little bit of shock? Sammy rationalized those 19 murders irrespective of who the victim was. They were in the mob, they knew what they were doing when they oke the rules, they knew what the penalty was, I just happened to enforce the penalty. They committed suicide. Would I be willing right now to say I wouldn't do that, even though it would cost me my life back then? No, (bleep) no. No. What you do-- I'm not giving up my life that easy, because of what you did. So I'm gonna eak the golden rule and I'm gonna get whacked for what you did? Why? You did it. You deserve to die, not me. I didn't do it. I'm not in his head and his heart and his mind, but, uh, you got to have something, man, inside of you to be able to do something like that, and it's not a good thing. John barked, I bit. And a lot of people knew that. You got it done? I got the job done. And if he'd said... Kill your son. My son? I probably would've fought on that one. There's no way I would've killed my son. I would've died with him or I would've died trying or-- There's no way. PRESIDENT For many years, we have tolerated in America, a syndicate of organized criminals whose power is now reaching unparalleled heights. The government says John Gotti is a cold-blooded killer. Perhaps the most ruthless and powerful mob boss in America. This guy was the absolute worst guy to take over organized crime because he talked like a yenta. You guys and Giuliani should be in church. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Gossip, gossip, gossip. Thank you. Gotti took the underworld and put it out for the world. Meantime, the FBI is following him. They had surveillance. All they had to do was sit across the street, set up some cameras and just video this thing nonstop. John, especially once he ascended to being the boss, he made everybody come and really kind of kowtowed to him. That made the Ravenite Social Club a key target for me as the investigator in that case. The Ravenite had been a well-known Gambino social club in Mulberry street. The Ravenite club was an exclusive club, and guys would play cards and drink coffee. It was like being allowed into the, you know, one of the private clubs in New York City, except this was a club of mobsters. Their social clubs were really our headquarters. They were our safe havens, the place we hung out, the place we held court. The whole family had to show up at the Ravenite on a weekly basis. John, he was there five nights a week. He ought captains and made guys down there, told them how to dress and how to act. He would tell you how to dress? Yes. Basically, he would tell guys to wear suits and shirts and ties, and this and that. You know, walking into a restaurant, John Gotti with 14 guys all dressed to the hilt is what he wanted. There were so many things that you had to do to show you were one of them. But if you wanted to hang with them, you had to look like them. This is my good luck pinky ring. They would have their drink, and they would be sipping it like that, so their pinky would be out. It was all show, all a look. Gangsters made double- easted pinstriped suits popular. We wore expensive watches. It's a Rolex, it's a Presidential. And naturally, you had to have the chains. You know, like, 52 crucifixes which probably represented all the people you killed. Burgundy... matches the burgundy tux. Every culture has their thing, and I think in the Italian mob culture, they exuded power. I don't think any of the old timers would believe that Cosa Nostra was to be run like this in any way, shape or form. You know, power has a way where you can believe, after awhile, you can walk on water. Sammy told them, tone it down, don't have everybody coming here It was supposed to be a secret thing, you know. Guys go meet-- you know, go meet on the B train somewhere or the R train and talk. That's the way you're supposed to do it. I would tell him, John, there's the whole government sitting outside the club. There's news people wandering around outside. What are we doing here? He would just shut you up and say, No, no, no. I'll show you, watch. I'll show you how to beat cases. He showed us real good. When you're the boss of a crime family and you're on the cover of Time Magazine in a caricature painted by Andy Warhol, you're inging heat on yourself. That's a given. But by extension, you're inging heat on the other families, too. You're supposed to be invisible. He made my job easier. He introduced me to that whole family. Was he supposed to be out there like that? Was he supposed to give the whole mob on a silver platter to the FBI? The FBI and New York State's organized crime task force set a trap for Gotti. So the whole strategy was to put bugs where John was having his most secret conversations, where he was gonna talk the most about the criminal conduct. The best places wound up being the Ravenite, and then the apartment above the Ravenite. JOHN M.: That bug is the mother lode. Because now you have the boss, the underboss, and the senior advisor. Basically the administration of the Gambino crime family, having a board meeting about what to do about various problems. Everybody would warn him, Hey, don't have a sit-down in that room. It's wired up like a Christmas tree. Yeah, I'm impervious, they can't touch me. Like MC Hammer, 'You Can't Touch This'. We're able to pick up conversations about labor racketeering, it turned out. But invariably, when you're in the inner sanctums of the mafia dons, the mafia bosses, they were talking about murders. This was John. He thinks he could say anything he wants. And you start talking about murders on the phone. He was the best witness I ever had, and he couldn't dispute anything, because it was his voice coming off the tapes. Listening to the Gotti tapes, it's clear John was setting my father up. In other words, poor John Gotti. He lost control of Sammy The Bull. He's killing people. He wasn't gonna take the fall for John. And I guess his other option was to kill him. How would you have done it? How could you? Me and Frankie would've just went in, started stabbing to the body, and I would've cut his throat. And, uh, it would've been over. The reputed mob leader John Gotti was acquitted on assault charges. Extortion, loan sharking, racketeering, ibing witnesses. We find him not guilty. Yay! John Gotti walked out of court today still a free man. Three times police have ought charges against Gotti and three times he has beaten the rap. Well, John was known as the Teflon Don because the cases that he beat. I mean, he was indicted several times, but nothing stuck to him. Every charge that the government charged him with wouldn't stick-- Teflon-- so Teflon Don. Hey, John, you gonna beat it? No, no. He never beat the system. Sammy The Bull was fixing the trial. I was reaching jurors... and ibing them. And he didn't win the trial fair and square. I rigged the whole trial. I think the dynamic between John Gotti and Sammy The Bull was always interesting to me because I think it was a begrudging respect that Sammy seemed to have for John Gotti. He respected the rules, respected the fact that John Gotti was the boss, but I suspect that Sammy thought he probably could have done that job better. John starts recognizing that everybody knows and respects Sammy. He's the guy interacting with everybody. That becomes a threat to the boss because now all of a sudden, I can be replaced by this guy and we don't miss a beat, right? So, that's when my father and John started to really fall out on the street. You can't be jealous of your own teammate or it's gonna crumble. And that's exactly what happened, it crumbled. JOHN JR.: I believe it was December 11, 1990. We just left the Ravenite, It was all over the radio that John Gotti was just indicted. I remember it very vividly. I was watching the news and there he and Gotti were on TV being arrested. (laughs) I was like, Whoa! Wow! I said, you know, it may be a matter of time when this all goes down badly. I think the demise between them came at the first day of arraignments when they played the tapes and Sammy heard all the diverse things that John was saying about him. He was trying to convince people that my father was a loose cannon. On the tapes, John was making all kinds of derogatory comments about Sammy. That every time he kills somebody, he takes over their business. He wants to kill this guy, he wants to kill that guy. So John, more or less, was throwing Sammy under the bus. In case he ever got arrested, Sammy would, you know, take the weight. JOHN JR.: That was the Gravano conversation. That was the worst of all the tapes. My father tells him, Look, if I have any more complaints about you, I'm gonna have to deal with it. From that moment on, Sammy walked with two feet in one shoe. That was the reason for that conversation, in all fairness to my father, that was the reason for that conversation. And I realized that John, probably eventually, would take me out for no other reason but he wants one show, one boss-- John Gotti. He don't want anybody to be his equal. He don't want anybody in any way, shape or form, to shine. And I guess I was shining too much. You make it sound like high school. Yeah, but the only thing is that in high school, you could throw a spit ball at somebody. We use bullets. Sammy thought at first, Well, I'll just kill him in prison. But then he said, Well, but then I'll be spending the rest of my life in prison. So killing him is not gonna ing me any satisfaction. How would you have done it? How could you? We could have got some, what they call shanks, knives in prison, homemade knives. Me and Frankie would've just went in, Frankie would've started stabbing to the body and I would've cut his throat. And, uh, it would've been over. He thought about his family and he said, The only thing I can do is give the government what they really want, give him John Gotti on a silver platter. So that's what he did. Within a year of them being in jail, we get word that Sammy wants to cooperate. It was November 8, 1991-- he flipped. And the day Gravano became a rat, it changed our lives. Because he's been around a lot of years and he knew a lot of secrets about a lot of different people. Sammy had the business mind. There is an opportunity here for me to continue living a life a little more normal than spending it behind jail for the rest of my life. JOHN Gravano never did one day in jail in his life. That was his first time being incarcerated. He didn't like it. My father was disappointed in himself. He knew he should have never ought that guy into the inner circle. At that point it became a reality, that he made a horrible mistake. The day my father told me that he was gonna cooperate probably was the worst day of my life. That was everything that I was taught never to do. It was almost like as if he'd just stabbed me in the heart. I felt betrayed. And she ran out, crying. I came close to not doing it. It killed me to see her that way. After he did cooperate, I just-- I didn't want no part of him. Because my own people that I grew up with, that I trusted, that I loved, they were told that they couldn't hang out with me anymore. That's the one time that I can honestly say that I ever felt rejection and it affected me. He contacted me and said, you know, I think I'm gonna have to pull the deal. And I looked at him and said, What are you talking about? He goes, I have a problem with my daughter. She's adamantly opposed to me taking this deal. If she can't go along with this, this isn't happening. When we had that meeting in Quantico and we sat down and I came out there, I didn't know anything. -Not one thing. - Right. Well, then I was forced to. Now we're dealing with a situation where there's a life or death situation now. -Right. - This isn't a game. When you cooperate, there can be people getting killed and all kinds of (bleep) going on. Some of the people you're gonna be dealing with, they could hug you, they could kiss you, they could smile, and they could shoot you in the (bleep) head. I had already known, a week before my father told me he was gonna cooperate but it didn't eak to the world yet. So I got on the plane with them and they took us to Virginia, which is FBI headquarters. And he sat there and told me, You know, things are gonna come out. And I'm like, okay. He's like, About murder. Okay. He's like, 19. I'm like, okay, I didn't think it was-- you know, that was lot. But, um, I didn't question him, I just listened. And when I left the room that day, I still wasn't on board. I told him I will never be on board with this. We had to have a couple of conversations to convince her, to be able make that deal go through. So that left a real impression on me, just how important his family was. Sammy The Bull Gravano. For years, he claims he was John Gotti's hitman. But now his Target is John Gotti himself. When it hit the papers that Sammy flipped, there wasn't a person in that life that wasn't totally shocked by it. He's a rat! Sammy The Bull Gravano. Sammy The Bull Gravano. Sammy Gravano has killed 19 people. His five-page government agreement calls for him to testify in exchange for a 20-year prison term. This man took away our fathers. There's so many things that I've missed about my dad through the years. My father won't be at my daughter's wedding. My father can't come over my house for Sunday dinner. There's so much I miss about my father not being here. I'm Laura Garofalo, my father was Eddie Garofalo, the 19th victim of Sammy The Bull Gravano. He was in construction, demolition, excavation. In the course of doing business in New York in the construction world, there was that underworld element. It was very hard for my father to function because so much of the construction industry had a stranglehold from the mob and so much of it then was controlled by Gravano. So because my father wouldn't comply, he paid with his life. He was crossing the street to walk to his car and two cars full of guys opened fire on him and killed him. The only way organized crime exists--- there's only one reason it exists-- and that's on intimidation. Because if you tell me to do something and I'm not intimidated or afraid of you, then what's the repercussions of me not doing what you're asking me to do? Mr. Gotti, what do you think about the Times' report that they're preparing new charges against you? My father's prosecution was a win-at-all-costs prosecution. He was facing five murders. All in all, it was 13 counts. The prosecutors in the Eastern district wanted the head of Gotti so badly that they made a deal with Gravano. He was Gotti's right hand. He was the underboss of the Gambino crime family. This is the United States Department of Justice and the rule of law against the most famous gangster in America and the mob. The deal he got was a maximum penalty of 20 years, which he got five years sentenced. JOHN M.: Sammy's a survivor. He's got, like, 19 murders, but at least nine lives. I mean, it was shocking, it was absolutely shocking. People do more time for one murder-- this is 19. It was one more scam. It was one more scheme. He knew that there was nobody else in the world that the government wanted more than John Joseph Gotti. JOHN M.: Why did Sammy flip? Well, Sammy's a hustler. While everybody was looking at one angle, he was looking at three other angles. Sammy Gravano flipped because Sammy Gravano is a self-centered man. And when he got to prison, the reality, his needs became far greater. He couldn't do not one more day in prison and he wasn't going to. So there's a word that you use for people who turn, right? Mm-hmm. -Who cooperate. - Yeah. Are you trying to goat me into the word? -Rat, is that the word? - That's the word. Are you a rat? If that's the term you'd like to use. I don't look at myself as that. I look at it as-- I was betrayed, I betrayed him. That's what the mob is. Double-crosser? John's the double-crosser. I'm a master double-crosser. We played chess, and he lost. Here in New York, the government's top mob witness has begun testifying in the trial of reputed crime boss John Gotti. Everybody in that room is waiting for one witness and one witness only. I was real nervous about testifying. I'll never forget walking through the door, when the door opened and then I came out, you couldn't hear anything. I mean, the only thing I heard was my own heart pumping away. JOHN M.: He proved to be an outstanding witness. Who was the boss of that family? It was John Gotti. Do you see John Gotti in this courtroom? Yes, he's right there. And, you know, eye contact is made. It's like there's laser beams that go across between the two. He had this icy glare... that he was staring at me, to try to, I guess, intimidate me with. It didn't work. JOHN M.: I think he must have been on the stand for nine days, direct testimony, and then utal cross-examination, which he was unflappable for. There was more to come, but you also knew the case was over. It took six years and four trials, but today, federal prosecutors got a guilty verdict against John Gotti. My father, John Gotti, was found guilty on all counts. I wasn't shocked by the outcome of the case, but the reality now set in that he wasn't invincible. The Teflon is gone, The Don is covered with Velcro and every charge in the indictment stuck. In New York today, the crime boss, John Gotti, has been sentenced to life in prison with no parole. When the word comes out that Gotti's been sentenced to life without parole... (crowd chanting) ...the crowd storms the front of the courthouse. JOHN It was supposed to be a peaceful rally and it turned into a riot. JOHN M.: They're rocking the U.S. Marshals' cars in front, smashing the roofs and kicking in the windshields. And there's literally a riot going on about the outrage that he should be sent to jail. And you start to realize just how upside down the world had become. I said it in the court, I say it here: our country is sick to the core if it is willing to pay for testimony, by literally, absolving a person of 19 confessed murders. My father is the last of the Mohicans. They don't make men like him anymore, and they never will. JOHN M.: We live in a society that romanticizes those loners who go up against authority. They have said you are the single most important witness ever to testify against the mob. I think I am. An underboss is the highest position who's ever cooperated. But I think I'm in a position of being the most knowledgeable underboss who's cooperated. Sammy helped me shut out the rest of the family, and bosses and underbosses of the other families. I think we totaled over 38 convictions. He arguably led to the demise of organized crime in New York. JOHN M: Making the deal with Gravano did not come without criticism. There was blow back from the family members of people that he killed. The feeling was us against the behemoth. What do we do? We have no recourse. They said this was okay. They wrapped him in the American flag and they sent him off. It was a great deal. Five years for 19 murders, can't beat that. And from that day forward, he continues to be pardoned for the things that he has done. JOHN M.: When he got out in the witness protection program under his new identity, he's living in a town outside of Phoenix. He's got a book out. So, he's eaking all the rules and he's making all the money. There were laws in the place, the Son of Sam law, which protected us from him profiting from his life of crime. How could a guy who admitted to killing 19 people profit from that? How can he write a book? And we went ahead, filed in Arizona. So, you know, we were vindicated. It's funny, because in the end, Sammy's always Sammy. His son comes home one day and says, Dad, dad, these kids, they're buying this Molly and Ecstasy like no tomorrow. And what does he do? Rather than go back a changed man to say, Hey, I'm a different guy... I found the Lord... he goes back and he schemes all over again. Former mafia hitman, Salvatore Sammy The Bull Gravano has been arrested in Phoenix, Arizona. Police say Gravano financed a statewide narcotics ring. Growing up, people expected me to be violent. People expected me to live up to my father's reputation. I got arrested once or twice growing up. I wanted to do certain things and go out and make him proud. It was just the allure of being, you know, of being bad. -I never wanted that life for you. - And I know that. You didn't come home and talk about what you did on the streets-- And there's a reason for that. I didn't want to inspire you to the life, make you look up to the life. Yeah, but you knew I wasn't gonna be a doctor or a lawyer or something like that. We don't have to be doctors and we don't have to be lawyers. We could be anything. I think, in an Italian people, we always want our kids to be better than us and do more than us. Famously in The Godfather, Don Corleone was very upset when Michael came home from the army and then ultimately ended up in the family business. What's bothering you? I told you I can handle it, I'll handle it. I never wanted this for you. When you have a famous parent, you become a part of that famous parent Doors open to you everywhere. But the stress is tremendous because there's only one person like your father. You're living under that shadow from the time you're born. After my father cooperated, my mother moved to Arizona with my other and I later followed. The guy ended up going into the witness protection program. He's out in North Phoenix, he's installing pools out in the open, his family has a restaurant. I was still angry. Me and my father weren't in a good place. Everything that happened in Arizona, it was like I was hung up on a lifestyle that I couldn't let go because I didn't understand. I was hurt at the time and I was confused. My kids were devastated by my cooperation. They had to leave, they were belittled, They were just-- they shrunk to nothing. At the time, he had wrote a book. His book was a New York Times bestseller and everybody became interested. I land in Arizona and these people are like, Oh, my God, your father's 'Sammy the Bull,' can we get an autograph? We kind of let the wrong people around us. And I wanted to join them because I felt like being bad is when you gain respect. He was already a very well-known gangster and, of course, they sought him out and got to him through his son. I just made poor decisions, my other made poor decisions. And, um, at the time, we were involved in some Ecstasy deals. Everybody I was running around with was telling everyone that had two ears, that this was Sammy The Bull's Ecstasy ring. That's all it took. Former mafia hitman, Salvatore Sammy The Bull Gravano has been arrested in Phoenix, Arizona. Police say Gravano financed a statewide narcotics ring that sold the drug Ecstasy. Sammy The Bull always with his beak in the trough said, Hey, what are these-- what do these kids out here know? I'm caught. My son's in it, my daughter's in it. I become the focus of the thing and it doubles and quadruples in stature and everything. So... I'm an Ecstasy King. Sammy's explanation was that he was actually trying to help them, extricate themselves from that. You got to say, well, was he really trying to help his family or is this the Sammy Gravano story, which is, It wasn't me, it was my children. I was just trying to be the good guy. It's kind of what he said about Gotti. He was able to make a deal to save them and take the unt of the punishment. JOHN M.: His son gets sentenced to nine years. His daughter and his wife are sentenced to probation. He did 20 years for trying to save my life. Most fathers, I think-- I hope-- would do that for their son. But that's a heavy burden I live with, even though-- Don't let it be a heavy burden. I did what I'm supposed to do as a man. Don't carry no burden. But realize how much I love you. Let's not make mistakes no more, they're done. The life is done. I got to take that responsibility that it did trickle down, what I did hurt them. So we all (bleep) up, don't live with guilt. We're going forward. You made mistakes, I made mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes. And I'm proud of you. You're a man's man. You've got four kids, and, uh, and you're a man. I just hope I can leave the same impression on my kids. You will. I was the underboss of the most powerful crime family in American history. I was respected, loved, dedicated, and feared. Now look at Sammy The Bull Gravano, he has a podcast, he's battling with Michael Franzese, the son of Sonny Franzese, the stone-cold killer in the Colombo family. Do you have any idea what you're talking about? No, yeah-- no, do you? So instead of shooting at one another, they battle on podcasts. Stop, your-- you're talking like a clown right now. It's crazy! I'm retired now, I'm 76, March I'll be 77. The podcast is going good, we just put out a few more episodes. JOHN JR.: Anyone saying anything in New York? They watch it, they see it. I mean, listen, one thing about daddy, whether people like him or they don't like him, they know what he's saying is truthful. If I can have a voice 35 years later, I can tell his subscribers and people who listen to his podcasts, not to glorify this man. He is not noble, He is not a hero. He's nothing but a sociopath. It took me 20-something years to get to this point, to have a full understanding and to actually sit back and go... I understand it all, I respect the lifestyle you chose, I understand why. But I also knew you as a father and a friend. So that's, you know, how I choose my relationship with you. The podcast is actually something that he monetizes from. And, um, it's a subscriber service. When I think back about my past, I feel like I've lived three lifetimes. He has this arena, he has this forum where he's talking about it, but what is the other side for him? Is he sorry? Is he remorseful? Because I don't see that. Where are his amends? He is still glorifying this life. When does he let it go? Is there anything that I feel I regret and that I would do differently? Of course. At what point do you take accountability for the lives that you destroyed? No matter how I feel now, I couldn't change what happened. It was ugly, but I know what people want me to say. It was so ugly, would you change it? Yes, the way I feel now. But even looking now, I couldn't. Sammy is, I'm Cosa Nostra until I die. Cosa Nostra's still part of me. And I said, No, Sammy, that's not true. We're not Cosa Nostra anymore. We might have believed in it at one time. But you can't say that, you violated omertà, so did I. I betrayed my oath. I'm not in that life anymore and neither are you. Did you love The Godfather? I loved The Godfather. Is there part of you that misses it? If it was what it is in that movie, if it was total honor and total respect... possibly. But not what I've come to learn what it was, what it is. It's not what this is, it's not the respect. In this picture, that's what it was supposed to be, that's what it was supposed to mean. Sometimes I wish I was still in that life. I loved the, you know, the respect I got, I loved sitting in the front row. I can't afford the front row anymore. -Grandpa. -You're right, there's grandpa. Fat Andy. I know you always get mad when I say sometimes I miss the life. You go, What do you miss about it? You know, I look at these pictures and-- Here, look at this picture, this is when I used to take you and your other every year to see Santa Claus. Well, not every year, unfortunately, I only took you three times. That's the life that I wish that we could have continued living. And it just wasn't-- It wasn't meant to be. I think a lot of them wondered to this day what it was all about and was it really as worthwhile as they thought. Because the fa ic just disintegrated. There really was never this loyalty, there really was never this ethos. It was really all about the individual. Are you a good man? I think I'm a decent man. You don't worry about a final judgment? I'll worry about that, that day. And we'll see what happens.
What's his real name again? - Charlie. - Charlie, Charlie right. Hi, Charlie. Oh, she's putting a hat on him. She's putting a hat. We have to put on a hat, we have to put on a hat, it's not gonna match. Do you have a hat? Put him in the hat. There we go. Oh, it's just a... It's just a hat, you're okay. Okay. Wait till she clears the room. Okay, go, she's clear. Go, go, go, now, now, now. Now. And we're out. - Hi. Yeah. - Okay. Oh, you are a sweetheart. All right, thank you everyone. Great work. Most people say that nothing can prepare you for becoming a parent. But most people don't have the resources to hire dozens of child actors to create around the clock simulation of parenthood. To raise a child from zero to 18 over the course of two months before deciding if you want to have one yourself. That's the rehearsal I'm giving Angela, a 44-year-old woman who has chronically put off having children because the circumstances have never been quite right. I'd like it' to happen in... Within the right context. Which is what? In a marriage, with a man. - Okay. - Yeah. - Yeah, that makes sense. - With the love of my life. And is... Do you have that person in your life right now or... - No, I don't. - Okay. Yeah. My challenge was simulating the future life circumstances she envisioned for herself if she were to become a mother. Are you seeing anyone you like? - No. - What about him? Just a little out of shape, maybe. Mm-hmm. What about him? - His outfit, it's too serious. - Uh-huh. And Angela was very particular. I think I'll ing this air purifier too. So we had to relocate her from her studio apartment to a rented house in rural Oregon because she didn't want to raise a kid in the city. We'd probably have a house with a couple of acres, with food and animals. We'd probably be online, but we'd also have access to go off the grid because infant skulls have not fully formed, so they absorb wireless radiation a lot more than we do into their ains. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. But her fears made sense to me. It's scary to imagine raising a child when you always know that a single misstep on your part could ruin their entire life. Angela's rehearsal began with a simulated adoption just like she envisioned. Where I had the baby's real mother give him away. - Hi. - Yeah. This is for the best. He's better off with you than with me, so... Thank you. Maybe you can elaborate a bit on why you're not suited to be a mom. Yeah, I'm in school full time and... - Yeah. - ...he just needs - a complete home, so... - I can give him that. I tried to make every detail of the experience as realistic as possible. Is this, um... something you would normally, like, hand off or anything, - this situation? - No... I've never done that, - I don't think. - Oh, okay. Angela already had a name in mind for her baby. I think I've decided on Adam. - He likes it. - Why Adam, what... I knew a guy named Adam and he was, you know... It's just... It's... Adam is a strong name. - Like, Adam. - Adam? - Yeah. - Okay, yeah. Each week Adam will grow three years, and for each age multiple child actors will be needed in order to comply with Oregon state labor laws that limit the number of hours a child can work. With babies capped at four hours it requires multiple switches each day, which I tried to make as seamless as possible to keep the illusion of raising a single child intact for Angela. But just as important as her experience was the well-being of the babies. Ask them about aromatherapy. Like, if they're okay with... ...lavender... Okay. ...on the soles of the feet. Lavender on the soles of the feet? Mm-hmm, the oil. I had to keep track of everything she wanted to do with these kids and get the real parents' consent. Lavender oil on soles of feet to calm them. Sure, she can give it a shot if she wants. Okay. Lavender oil okay. But the most important element of Angela's future life as a mother was still missing, a man by her side. Prior to the start of her rehearsal, I'd encouraged her to meet up with some of her dating app matches to see if she could find someone with the qualities she was looking for in a co-parent. I mean, I'm not saying that all extra-biblical texts are bad 'cause definitely like the Dead Sea Scrolls or... - No. - The Apocrypha. But a lot of believers of various denominations don't really read the Bible and they don't really know what it says. - Mm-hmm. - So, that can be problematic because then people start going by their opinions and... - Yeah. - Yeah, because... - Yeah, so... - Yeah. Yeah. For a while it seemed like she would never find a connection. I was just wondering, what scares you the most? - In life. - Well... first off, it's eels. Until, she met a guy named Robin. - Angela? Good to meet you, how's your day? - Hmm.. Nice to meet you. It's going crazy. All right. It's crazy? No, it's good, it's fabulous. - Oh, yeah? - Yeah. Yeah, same here. - Oh, really? - Absolutely blessed. - It's a very good day. - Very blessed. - I agree with that. - Yes. This is the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6:19 through 13 with a heartbeat monitor. - Nice. - You know, ask the Father, to give me everything I need every day, - take care of me. - Yeah. I was like standing on the corner drinking forties... - Mm. - ...you know, smoking weed. And, um, so God like, pursued me though. I made a few bad decisions and ended up totaling my Scion TC at 100 miles an hour. - Oh, wow! - Yeah. I found myself upright. - Whoa. - Uh, as miracle as that is, so... - That's a testimony. - Yeah. - Amen. - Amen. I was hopeful Angela would want to invite Robin to join her rehearsal. But now, we were three days in and she still wasn't sure. For me, more than a ten-year difference - feels a little... - And he might be - younger than that. - Maybe. You know, my goal is just for your rehearsal to reflect reality - and I know... - Yeah. ...with a partner it would... That would happen for you, so... - Well... - Yeah. ...I can say, it can still be realistic - because my husband could be at work. - Yeah. And I started to wonder if she was less interested in an accurate simulation of her future life and instead just wanted a fun vacation in her dream home. I hadn't intended for this to be easy. Since baby actors can't work pass 7:30, the final switch of the night was to a robot baby that would mimic the sleep patterns of a human baby. To do this, I hired a local man who claimed to be a night owl... All right. ...whose job was to watch a live feed of a real baby and manually make the robot baby cry in sync. Unfortunately, it turned out he was not a night owl and fell asleep within 15 minutes of the start of his shift. And the next night, it happened again. Robbing Angela of the experience of being woken up throughout the night and giving her the impression that motherhood was a walk in the park. - Hey, how's it going? - It was all right, other. I'd be negligent if I didn't fix this. Didn't you describe yourself as a night owl. Oh, absolutely. Yes, indeed, yeah. And once things were up and running again... ...Angela seems to be craving an extra set of hands. Because within a day, she had set up a second date with Robin. Are you dressed for your date? - I think so, yeah. - You look great. - Thank you. - Very, very... Yay! But when I reminded her it was her responsibility to organize childcare, things got a little tense. I need more notice. So I have time to arrange a babysitter. I mean, it's tough because I mean, technically, - crew... The crew of... - Right. Our crew can't help out with any child-raising tasks. - So, let's reschedule... - Right. ...for like a week, you know, next week or something. - Right. - I couldn't let this experience go to waste for her, so I insisted she go on her date and just this once, I oke my own rule and offered to babysit myself. How are you doing? Okay, shall we walk a little bit? Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Okay. Gotcha. Mm-hmm. You're lying. No. Oh, no, are you okay? Oh, no. It's okay, it's okay. Aw. What's your dream, like, for your life? Oh, okay. It's okay, it's okay. - Hey. - Hello. - How's it going? - Good. - Here you go, he's sleeping. - Oh, good, thank you. - I changed his diaper. - Thank you for watching him. Yeah, I've never changed a diaper before. How'd it go? Pretty good, but that doesn't matter. How did it go with Robin? - It was really great. - Yeah? Yeah, I had a good time with him. And there were a lot of amazing coincidences again - in our conversations, so... - Like what? Just things that he was mentioning about numbers that have come up in his life, you know, like, sometimes you seek signs and numbers repeating. So he felt like those were signs that this was supposed to happen. Okay. So, Angela invited Robin over to the house for a third date. Where she would propose that he joined her in raising her child. ANGELA rehearsaling herself... - Hi. - Hi. He's kind of a top candidate - for... to be a co-parent. - Oh. To be a co-parent? - Okay. - Yeah. Well, they seem to get along well enough. - Yeah. - Hmm. - No, I think you're very clean. - Come on. Don't I look clean? There's actually a baby in the house. - There is? - Yes, and I was wondering if... - Oh, wow. - His name is Adam. I was wondering if you would like to meet him. Really? - Hi. - How are you doing? - This is not my baby. - Okay. It's to explore the idea of having... What it's like to raise children. - Mm-hmm. - Uh, it's for a project that is going on. But it'll progress from like babies then like toddlers, three-year-olds, then like pre-teens, then teens, - um... - That's awesome. ...and there is cameras all over. - All right. - And there is also cameras in the house. - There's even a robot baby... - Really. ...that they leave overnight and it wakes me up, and I have to get up and feed it until it stops crying. So I'm staying here. It's, you know, obviously not my house. Okay. - Right. - They... I was like, when do I move in? So this is the thing, you know... Well, I mean, I was exploring the idea of, I was wondering what... how you would feel about participating, like co-participating in something like this. - Really? - Yeah. I think that that would definitely be something that would entice me. Okay. Does he seem like the type of guy you'd be comfortable having around your baby? Yeah, he seems like nice and friendly and stuff, I mean... I was wondering, you know, 'cause we're both believers. - Yes. - What are your convictions about purity, like, in dating? - As far as, like, sexual? - Mm-hmm. I... I definitely do... have sexual relations. - You do. - Yeah. Okay. You know, I'm not giving this for nobody, except my husband. So if there's, like, a temptation issue that would definitely come up if... you know, you were to participate in this project. Okay, like, I don't understand 'cause, like, I know I'm a very attractive person. - You know. - Maybe. Yeah, I... Kinda. And... - Oh, yeah, you are. - Yeah. Thank you. - You're beautiful. - Thank you. - All right. - Bye. All right. Hey, man. Robin? I'm Nathan. - Hi. - Hey. Good to meet you. I'm just wondering are you... Do you think you're interested in joining Angela in this, uh... project or... It sounds like something that I'm definitely interested in without a doubt. Well, would you want to try it out for tonight - and then we can... - Sure. 'Cause actually even where I'm living now... ...my roommate doesn't believe in Jesus... - Okay. - And she has clearly - stated that. And... - Is that a problem? - Yeah, it's a problem for me. - Okay. Yeah, definitely. Robin said he needed to drive home to get some stuff for the night, so I tagged along to do my due diligence on behalf of the parents. Wow. Do you want me to hold your phone, so you don't have to look down? You mean, like, hold it up? - Yeah. - Okay. Yeah. Or is it little... just dangerous maybe to have it on your lap. Is that helpful? - I mean, I do that all the time. - Like this? - Oh, like have it on your lap? - Yeah. Just the roads are... Watch out for that. - Yeah. - Yeah. Thirty-three miles 'til empty. Jesus Christ was crucified at 33. - Fifty-five on the mileage. - Oh, okay. Big change transformation. Thank grace. Oh, 22. Turning all dreams and desires into reality. All right. Can I fill regular? Oh, wow, it just said 88. - What's that? - I looked at it when it said 88. The miles going up, you mean? They are going up. I looked at it at 88. Eighty-eight, New Beginnings. And it's approaching 644 and what's a trip is after I totaled my Scion TC last April 2nd at 100 miles an hour... I had a focus just like that that I got blessed with for 200 dollars. - Nice place. - Thank you. Do you have kinda, like, three mattresses in here? Yeah, I need to get rid of 'em. But... Remaining celibate... I don't know, I just... You know? I feel like... it might... that might change. - You think you're gonna have sex with her tonight? - Who knows? The door is open, I guess. I don't know. Do you use condoms? - Not really. - Oh. - In there... - Is that a... What is this? This? - Oh. - The bong. You know how to hit a bong, right? I noticed as I was gonna make a sandwich, we don't have mayonnaise. - No? - I was like, What? - Yeah, buy some. - Yeah. 'Cause I don't use mayo too much. I saw 44 on a plate, and there was a car with the Baby on Board, Carlo sticker just like the one that was on my Scion TC that I crashed at 100 miles an hour... All right, man, I gotta... Hey, I have a hard time seeing the coincidences in just, like, two numbers though. It's just so crazy, I've seen 88, like, the water that she offered me, 88 on it. - Like again... - The kid's name is Adam. Why you think so much more about numbers than you do, like, the real-life experiences of, like, you know, this is... I met this person, and she might be the person for me. - You know what I mean? - Hmm. Like I would focus on that. Thank you for your input. - What are you stepping to? - Squash it. - What are you stepping to? - Squash it. What are you stepping to, uh? - Squash it! - What are you stepping to? What the fuck does that mean? - What's up? - What's up? - You're stepping to me, o. - Hey, what's up? - What's up? - I'm right here. Cross the fucking line then, why you keep tripping on me? Quit fucking tripping - on me, o. - God bless you, uh. - Good then. - What was that about? Oh, I was just telling him the truth and his demon doesn't like the truth. Do you want me to drive? Because you kinda, like, took a little bit of weed or... Oh, no, I can drive. - Are you sure? - Oh, yeah. - Okay. - Yeah. Just in case. - I smoke and drive all the time. - Oh. - You don't have a license plate? - No, it's okay. But don't you need a license plate to drive? No. You don't need a license plate to drive? No. Seventy-seven, this one's always here. Oh, yeah. Seventy-seven and there's a cross - right behind 33. - Uh-huh. Carne A sad a tater tots, no sour cream, no cheese. Eighty-eight. Hi. - Hello. - Welcome back. - If you hear the baby crying... - No, no, no. ...it is your turn to go in and feed the baby the bottle. Okay. My Christian friends gonna be like, Oh, my gosh, you spent the night alone in the house with a man who's not your husband? I know that the government has sasquatch liaisons. People that actually can communicate with these creatures, and, you know? I've heard a lot of different whistleblowers come up online and, you know, through different - radio shows and... - Crying. That's a loud one. It can be scary to let a new person into your life. Press it again. You have to open up your heart to them. But you can never be fully sure what their motives are. Heavy cry. - Heavy cry. - Heavy cry. - Keep him crying don't let up. - Okay. And even if you wish for the best, they often end up disappointing you. - He's bailing. - What? He's bailing, he's leaving. Wasn't cut out for it, I guess. Not everybody is. Sometimes I'm not sure why I make the choices I do. I transported a fake bar across the country from New York to Oregon just because I didn't want to throw it away. But I had no use for it here and it didn't even fit in the building they put it in. I guess it's nice to have something familiar around. And especially because I was gonna be out here for a while. I was put up in a corporate suite which was apparently their model unit, so it had some nice amenities. And I was allowed to ing my cats with me which made it a little less lonely. Maybe when everything around you is so temporary, you start longing for something more permanent. - Hey, hi. - Hello. Sorry about everything that happened with Robin. Oh, it's okay. Sometimes things have to unfold and you have to learn things as you go, so... Yeah, I've been thinking a little bit - about just like life and... - Hmm. I mean, I don't have kids myself. - Mm-hmm. - I'm 38 and... You know, I think I could be a good dad maybe, but... ...I'm not sure. - Yeah, it's hard to know. - Yeah. And I was thinking, I don't know, maybe... maybe it would be good for you to... To go through this experience with someone who could benefit - from it as well. - Mm-hmm. Someone like me. Obviously, it would just be about co-parenting the child, not... It wouldn't be romantic in any way. Yeah, I think during this process I wanted to have more communication - ahead of... - With me? - Yeah, ahead of time. - Okay. Is that a big yawn? I know. There you go. Good girl. It's all right. Yeah. Yeah, so I think just making sure - that we communicate. - Yeah. Making sure everyone's on the same page. I think that's gonna be a good thing to focus on. It's definitely something that I'm always trying to work on. Cool, thank you. I like to pray about things. Oh, okay. And kind of see if I have a peace about something. Yeah, so I haven't really had time to do that, so... Obviously though, I don't want... I know I'm in a position of power when I say this to you, - so I don't want that to influence... - Mm-hmm. - ...your willingness to decide. - Oh. - I want you to... - Sure. ...be honest with me and tell me if you... If it's something you don't want to do, definitely, I don't want there to be the, you know, the bias or... - Right. - Yeah. You know, just off the top of my head, I would say, Sure, let's go with it. - Why not? - Okay. Yeah, okay. Why not? Cool. This is gonna be fun. It will be, it's gonna be great. Hi, Craig, this is Nathan Fielder - from The Rehearsal. - How are you, sir? - Good, how are you? - I'm fantastic. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be joining the rehearsal, which means I'll be moving into the house to perform co-parenting duties along with the current participant, Angela. Okay. As promised, we would get your approval for any changes to the plan, so I'm just calling to get your verbal consent that allows me to participate and interact with Perry in the capacity of father. Is that something I can get you to agree to today? Yeah, I believe that would be amicable. It's actually great news for you 'cause now, there'll be two people looking after Charlie instead of one. Isn't that exciting? Yeah, that's great. I'm not sure if I sense any hesitancy in your voice, but if so, it's completely understandable. It's a strange experience and I know this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not for everyone. So if you're feeling even a slightest bit uncomfortable, I would like to opt out, that's a no problem at all. Oh, I appreciate that. But no, I don't feel funny. Well, excellent we're thrilled to have your continued commitment to this ground eaking project. Awesome, thank you for letting us be part of it. And I'm excited to see you very soon. All right, I'll see you soon. And I'm excited to see Charlie. Excited to see Tracy. I'm excited to see Sawyer. ...to see Nicholas soon. I'm excited to see Austin soon. Okay, thank you, Nathan. - Okay, bye. - Bye. Bye-bye.
- (WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING) - (CHARLIE COOING) NATHAN What's his real name again? - Charlie. - Charlie, Charlie right. Hi, Charlie. Oh, she's putting a hat on him. She's putting a hat. We have to put on a hat, we have to put on a hat, it's not gonna match. Do you have a hat? Put him in the hat. - There we go. - (CHARLIE WHIMPERS) - Oh, it's just a... - (CHARLIE CRIES) It's just a hat, you're okay. Okay. Wait till she clears the room. Okay, go, she's clear. Go, go, go, now, now, now. - Now. - (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) (DOOR CLOSING) And we're out. - Hi. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. - Okay. Oh, you are a sweetheart. All right, thank you everyone. Great work. (MUSIC SWELLS, CONCLUDES) (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) Most people say that nothing can prepare you for becoming a parent. But most people don't have the resources to hire dozens of child actors to create around the clock simulation of parenthood. To raise a child from zero to 18 over the course of two months before deciding if you want to have one yourself. That's the rehearsal I'm giving Angela, a 44-year-old woman who has chronically put off having children because the circumstances have never been quite right. I'd like it' to happen in... Within the right context. Which is what? In a marriage, with a man. (CHUCKLES) - Okay. - Yeah. - Yeah, that makes sense. - With the love of my life. And is... Do you have that person in your life right now or... - No, I don't. - Okay. (CLICKS TONGUE) Yeah. - (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) - My challenge was simulating the future life circumstances she envisioned for herself if she were to become a mother. Are you seeing anyone you like? - (CLICKS TONGUE) No. - What about him? Just a little out of shape, maybe. Mm-hmm. What about him? - His outfit, it's too serious. - Uh-huh. And Angela was very particular. I think I'll ing this air purifier too. So we had to relocate her from her studio apartment to a rented house in rural Oregon because she didn't want to raise a kid in the city. We'd probably have a house with a couple of acres, with food and animals. We'd probably be online, but we'd also have access to go off the grid because infant skulls have not fully formed, so they absorb wireless radiation a lot more than we do into their ains. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. But her fears made sense to me. It's scary to imagine raising a child when you always know that a single misstep on your part could ruin their entire life. Angela's rehearsal began with a simulated adoption just like she envisioned. Where I had the baby's real mother give him away. - Hi. - Yeah. This is for the best. He's better off with you than with me, so... Thank you. Maybe you can elaborate a bit on why you're not suited to be a mom. Yeah, I'm in school full time and... - Yeah. - ...he just needs - a complete home, so... - I can give him that. I tried to make every detail of the experience as realistic as possible. Is this, um... something you would normally, like, hand off or anything, - this situation? - No... I've never done that, - I don't think. (CHUCKLES) - Oh, okay. Angela already had a name in mind for her baby. I think I've decided on Adam. - (GASPS) He likes it. (CHUCKLES) - Why Adam, what... I knew a guy named Adam and he was, you know... It's just... It's... Adam is a strong name. - Like, Adam. - Adam? - Yeah. - Okay, yeah. Each week Adam will grow three years, and for each age multiple child actors will be needed in order to comply with Oregon state labor laws that limit the number of hours a child can work. With babies capped at four hours it requires multiple switches each day, which I tried to make as seamless as possible to keep the illusion of raising a single child intact for Angela. But just as important as her experience was the well-being of the babies. Ask them about aromatherapy. Like, if they're okay with... - (BABY COOING) - ...lavender... Okay. ...on the soles of the feet. Lavender on the soles of the feet? Mm-hmm, the oil. I had to keep track of everything she wanted to do with these kids and get the real parents' consent. Lavender oil on soles of feet to calm them. Sure, she can give it a shot if she wants. Okay. Lavender oil okay. But the most important element of Angela's future life as a mother was still missing, a man by her side. Prior to the start of her rehearsal, I'd encouraged her to meet up with some of her dating app matches to see if she could find someone with the qualities she was looking for in a co-parent. I mean, I'm not saying that all extra-biblical texts are bad 'cause definitely like the Dead Sea Scrolls or... - No. - The Apocrypha. But a lot of believers of various denominations don't really read the Bible and they don't really know what it says. - Mm-hmm. - So, that can be problematic because then people start going by their opinions and... - Yeah. - Yeah, because... (CLICKS TONGUE) - Yeah, so... - Yeah. Yeah. For a while it seemed like she would never find a connection. I was just wondering, what scares you the most? - In life. - Well... first off, it's eels. Until, - she met a guy named Robin. - (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) - Angela? Good to meet you, how's your day? - Hmm.. Nice to meet you. It's going crazy. - All right. It's crazy? - (CHUCKLES) No, it's good, it's fabulous. - Oh, yeah? - Yeah. Yeah, same here. - Oh, really? - Absolutely blessed. - It's a very good day. - Very blessed. - I agree with that. - Yes. This is the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6:19 through 13 with a heartbeat monitor. - Nice. - You know, ask the Father, to give me everything I need every day, - take care of me. - Yeah. I was like standing on the corner drinking forties... - Mm. - ...you know, smoking weed. And, um, so God like, pursued me though. (CLICKS TONGUE) I made a few bad decisions and ended up totaling my Scion TC at 100 miles an hour. - Oh, wow! - Yeah. I found myself upright. - Whoa. - Uh, as miracle as that is, so... - That's a testimony. - Yeah. - Amen. - Amen. (BOTH LAUGH) I was hopeful Angela would want to invite Robin to join her rehearsal. But now, we were three days in and she still wasn't sure. For me, more than a ten-year difference - feels a little... - And he might be - younger than that. - Maybe. (CHUCKLES) You know, my goal is just for your rehearsal to reflect reality - and I know... - Yeah. ...with a partner it would... That would happen for you, so... - Well... - Yeah. ...I can say, it can still be realistic - because my husband could be at work. - Yeah. And I started to wonder if she was less interested in an accurate simulation of her future life and instead just wanted a fun vacation in her dream home. I hadn't intended for this to be easy. Since baby actors can't work pass 7:30, the final switch of the night was to a robot baby that would mimic the sleep patterns of a human baby. To do this, I hired a local man who claimed to be a night owl... All right. (GRUNTS) ...whose job was to watch a live feed of a real baby and manually make the robot baby cry in sync. (ROBOT BABY CRYING) Unfortunately, it turned out he was not a night owl and fell asleep within 15 minutes of the start of his shift. And the next night, it happened again. Robbing Angela of the experience of being woken up throughout the night and giving her the impression that motherhood was a walk in the park. - Hey, how's it going? - It was all right, other. I'd be negligent if I didn't fix this. Didn't you describe yourself as a night owl. Oh, absolutely. Yes, indeed, yeah. And once things were up and running again... - (ROBOT BABY CRYING) - ...Angela seems to be craving an extra set of hands. Because within a day, she had set up a second date with Robin. Are you dressed for your date? - I think so, yeah. - You look great. - Thank you. - Very, very... - Yay! - (NATHAN CHUCKLES) But when I reminded her it was her responsibility to organize childcare, things got a little tense. I need more notice. So I have time to arrange a babysitter. I mean, it's tough because I mean, technically, - crew... The crew of... - Right. Our crew can't help out with any child-raising tasks. - So, let's reschedule... - Right. ...for like a week, you know, next week or something. - Right. - I couldn't let this experience go to waste for her, so I insisted she go on her date and just this once, I oke my own rule and offered to babysit myself. - (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) - How are you doing? Okay, shall we walk a little bit? Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! - Okay. - Gotcha. - - Mm-hmm. - - You're lying. - - No. - (BABY COOING) - (NATHAN MIMICS COOING) - (WHIMPERS) - Oh, no, are you okay? Oh, no. (CRIES) It's okay, it's okay. - (CRIES) - Aw. What's your dream, like, for your life? Oh, okay. - (CRIES) - (SHUSHES) It's okay, it's okay. (DOOR OPENING) - Hey. - Hello. - How's it going? - Good. - Here you go, he's sleeping. - Oh, good, thank you. - I changed his diaper. - Thank you for watching him. Yeah, I've never changed a diaper before. How'd it go? Pretty good, but that doesn't matter. - How did it go with Robin? - (ANGELA CHUCKLES) - It was really great. - Yeah? Yeah, I had a good time with him. And there were a lot of amazing coincidences again - in our conversations, so... - Like what? Just things that he was mentioning about numbers that have come up in his life, you know, like, sometimes you seek signs and numbers repeating. So he felt like those were signs that this was supposed to happen. - Okay. - (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) So, Angela invited Robin over to the house for a third date. Where she would propose that he joined her in raising her child. ANGELA rehearsaling herself... (BIRDS CHIRPING) - Hi. - Hi. He's kind of a top candidate - for... to be a co-parent. - CHARLIE'S Oh. To be a co-parent? - Okay. - Yeah. Well, they seem to get along well enough. - Yeah. - Hmm. (BOTH LAUGH) - No, I think you're very clean. - Come on. Don't I look clean? There's actually a baby in the house. - There is? - Yes, and I was wondering if... - Oh, wow. - His name is Adam. I was wondering if you would like to meet him. Really? - Hi. - How are you doing? - This is not my baby. - Okay. (BOTH CHUCKLE) It's to explore the idea of having... What it's like to raise children. - Mm-hmm. - Uh, it's for a project that is going on. But it'll progress from like babies then like toddlers, three-year-olds, then like pre-teens, then teens, - um... - That's awesome. ...and there is cameras all over. - All right. - And there is also cameras in the house. - There's even a robot baby... - Really. ...that they leave overnight and it wakes me up, and I have to get up and feed it until it stops crying. (BOTH LAUGH) So I'm staying here. It's, you know, obviously not my house. Okay. - Right. - They... I was like, when do I move in? (BOTH CHUCKLE) So this is the thing, you know... Well, I mean, I was exploring the idea of, I was wondering what... how you would feel about participating, like co-participating in something like this. - Really? - Yeah. (CHUCKLES) I think that that would definitely be something that would entice me. - Okay. - (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) Does he seem like the type of guy you'd be comfortable having around your baby? Yeah, he seems like nice and friendly and stuff, I mean... I was wondering, you know, 'cause we're both believers. - Yes. - What are your convictions about purity, like, in dating? - As far as, like, sexual? - Mm-hmm. I... I definitely do... have sexual relations. - You do. - Yeah. Okay. You know, I'm not giving this for nobody, except my husband. So if there's, like, a temptation issue that would definitely come up if... you know, you were to participate in this project. Okay, like, I don't understand 'cause, like, I know I'm a very attractive person. - You know. - Maybe. - (CHUCKLES) - Yeah, I... Kinda. (CHUCKLES) And... - Oh, yeah, you are. - Yeah. Thank you. - You're beautiful. - Thank you. - All right. - Bye. All right. (BIRDS CHIRPING) Hey, man. Robin? I'm Nathan. - Hi. - Hey. Good to meet you. I'm just wondering are you... Do you think you're interested in joining Angela in this, uh... project or... It sounds like something that I'm definitely interested in without a doubt. Well, would you want to try it out for tonight - and then we can... - Sure. 'Cause actually even where I'm living now... (CLICKS TONGUE) ...my roommate doesn't believe in Jesus... - Okay. - And she has clearly - stated that. And... - Is that a problem? - Yeah, it's a problem for me. - Okay. Yeah, definitely. Robin said he needed to drive home to get some stuff for the night, so I tagged along to do my due diligence on behalf of the parents. - (CELLPHONE CHIMES) - Wow. (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) Do you want me to hold your phone, so you don't have to look down? You mean, like, hold it up? - Yeah. - Okay. Yeah. Or is it little... just dangerous maybe to have it on your lap. Is that helpful? - I mean, I do that all the time. - Like this? - Oh, like have it on your lap? - Yeah. Just the roads are... Watch out for that. - Yeah. - Yeah. Thirty-three miles 'til empty. Jesus Christ was crucified at 33. - Fifty-five on the mileage. - Oh, okay. Big change transformation. Thank grace. Oh, 22. Turning all dreams and desires into reality. All right. Can I fill regular? Oh, wow, it just said 88. - What's that? - I looked at it when it said 88. The miles going up, you mean? They are going up. I looked at it at 88. Eighty-eight, New Beginnings. (CHUCKLES) And it's approaching 644 and what's a trip is after I totaled my Scion TC last April 2nd at 100 miles an hour... I had a focus just like that that I got blessed with for 200 dollars. (RAP MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO) - Nice place. - Thank you. Do you have kinda, like, three mattresses in here? Yeah, I need to get rid of 'em. But... (PILLS RATTLING) Remaining celibate... I don't know, I just... You know? I feel like... it might... that might change. - You think you're gonna have sex with her tonight? - Who knows? The door is open, I guess. I don't know. Do you use condoms? - Not really. - Oh. - In there... - Is that a... What is this? This? - Oh. - The bong. You know how to hit a bong, right? I noticed as I was gonna make a sandwich, we don't have mayonnaise. - No? - I was like, What? - Yeah, buy some. - Yeah. (CHUCKLES) 'Cause I don't use mayo too much. I saw 44 on a plate, and there was a car with the Baby on Board, Carlo sticker just like the one that was on my Scion TC that I crashed at 100 miles an hour... All right, man, I gotta... Hey, I have a hard time seeing the coincidences in just, like, two numbers though. It's just so crazy, I've seen 88, like, the water that she offered me, 88 on it. - Like again... - The kid's name is Adam. Why you think so much more about numbers than you do, like, the real-life experiences of, like, you know, this is... I met this person, and she might be the person for me. - You know what I mean? - Hmm. Like I would focus on that. Thank you for your input. - What are you stepping to? - Squash it. - What are you stepping to? - Squash it. What are you stepping to, uh? - Squash it! - What are you stepping to? What the fuck does that mean? - What's up? - What's up? - You're stepping to me, o. - Hey, what's up? - What's up? - I'm right here. Cross the fucking line then, why you keep tripping on me? - (CHUCKLES) - Quit fucking tripping - on me, o. - God bless you, uh. - Good then. - What was that about? Oh, I was just telling him the truth and his demon doesn't like the truth. Do you want me to drive? Because you kinda, like, took a little bit of weed or... Oh, no, I can drive. - Are you sure? - Oh, yeah. - Okay. - Yeah. Just in case. - I smoke and drive all the time. - Oh. - You don't have a license plate? - No, it's okay. But don't you need a license plate to drive? No. You don't need a license plate to drive? No. Seventy-seven, this one's always here. Oh, yeah. Seventy-seven and there's a cross - right behind 33. - Uh-huh. Carne A sad a tater tots, no sour cream, no cheese. Eighty-eight. - (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) - Hi. - Hello. - Welcome back. - If you hear the baby crying... - No, no, no. ...it is your turn to go in and feed the baby the bottle. Okay. My Christian friends gonna be like, Oh, my gosh, you spent the night alone in the house with a man - who's not your husband? - (ROBIN CHUCKLES) I know that the government has sasquatch liaisons. People that actually can communicate with these creatures, and, you know? I've heard a lot of different whistleblowers come up online and, you know, through different - radio shows and... - Crying. - (BABY CRYING) - That's a loud one. (ROBOT BABY CRYING) (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) It can be scary to let a new person into your life. - (BABY CRYING) - Press it again. (ROBOT BABY CRYING) You have to open up your heart to them. But you can never be fully sure what their motives are. - Heavy cry. - (BABY CRYING) - Heavy cry. - Heavy cry. (ROBOT BABY CRYING) - Keep him crying don't let up. - Okay. And even if you wish for the best, they often end up disappointing you. - - - He's bailing. - What? He's bailing, he's leaving. Wasn't cut out for it, I guess. Not everybody is. Sometimes I'm not sure why I make the choices I do. I transported a fake bar across the country from New York to Oregon just because I didn't want to throw it away. But I had no use for it here and it didn't even fit in the building they put it in. I guess it's nice to have something familiar around. And especially because I was gonna be out here for a while. I was put up in a corporate suite which was apparently their model unit, so it had some nice amenities. And I was allowed to ing my cats with me which made it a little less lonely. Maybe when everything around you is so temporary, you start longing for something more permanent. (DOOR OPENING) - Hey, hi. - Hello. Sorry about everything that happened with Robin. Oh, it's okay. (CHUCKLES) Sometimes things have to unfold and you have to learn things as you go, so... Yeah, I've been thinking a little bit - about just like life and... - Hmm. I mean, I don't have kids myself. - Mm-hmm. - I'm 38 and... You know, I think I could be a good dad maybe, but... (CHUCKLES) ...I'm not sure. - Yeah, it's hard to know. - Yeah. And I was thinking, I don't know, maybe... maybe it would be good for you to... To go through this experience with someone who could benefit - from it as well. - Mm-hmm. Someone like me. Obviously, it would just be about co-parenting the child, not... It wouldn't be romantic in any way. Yeah, I think during this process I wanted to have more communication - ahead of... - With me? - Yeah, ahead of time. - Okay. Is that a big yawn? I know. There you go. Good girl. It's all right. Yeah. Yeah, so I think just making sure - that we communicate. - Yeah. Making sure everyone's on the same page. I think that's gonna be a good thing to focus on. It's definitely something that I'm always trying to work on. Cool, thank you. (CLICKS TONGUE) I like to pray about things. Oh, okay. And kind of see if I have a peace about something. Yeah, so I haven't really had time to do that, so... Obviously though, I don't want... I know I'm in a position of power when I say this to you, - so I don't want that to influence... - Mm-hmm. - ...your willingness to decide. - Oh. - I want you to... - Sure. ...be honest with me and tell me if you... If it's something you don't want to do, definitely, I don't want there to be the, you know, the bias or... - Right. - Yeah. You know, just off the top of my head, I would say, Sure, let's go with it. - Why not? - Okay. Yeah, okay. Why not? Cool. This is gonna be fun. (CLICKS TONGUE) It will be, it's gonna be great. (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) Hi, Craig, this is Nathan Fielder - from The Rehearsal. - How are you, sir? - Good, how are you? - I'm fantastic. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be joining the rehearsal, which means I'll be moving into the house to perform co-parenting duties along with the current participant, Angela. Okay.

ALEX (OVER TV) These two title MTV cartoon guys thought the band KISS was pretty cool - for a bunch of mimes. - Who is Beavis and Butt-Head? - Ben? - Who are Beavis and Butt-Head? - Yup! - Uh, TV character for 400. - From 1970 to... - NATHAN I'm not good at meeting people for the first time. - Hey. Nice to meet you. Nathan. - Pleased to meet you. How are you? Kor. (GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING) - Oh, door city over here. - Uh, yes. - (CHUCKLES) - So, this is, um... Basically, it's like a portal, I guess, on some levels. - (CHUCKLES) Yeah. - (CHUCKLES) I have been told my personality can make people uncomfortable, so I have to work to offset that. Humor is my go-to instinct, but every joke is a gamble. - Shoes off or... - Oh, please walk as is. - And... - Okay. Shirt off? - Or? Just kidding. - (LAUGHS) - I'll leave my shirt on. - It's not that... No, it's not that kind of place. (CHUCKLES) - No, it's not, I'm just kidding. - (SIGHS) So far it was going well, and it had to, because I was about to ask this man to trust me with his life. Kor Skeet is a 50-year-old teacher from Brooklyn, New York, and there is nothing he loves more than trivia. I'm very good at television trivia. Who is the youngest person to ever be inducted into the Television Hall of Fame? It's a female. - Who? - Oprah Winfrey. A few months ago, Kor responded to a vague Craigslist post I put on the internet, sharing a story about a lie he told his bar trivia team over 12 years ago. I, um, told my friends that I had an advanced degree, and I didn't. I play trivia with them often, and the problem was that I... um, wanted to seem like I was smarter than I was. My teammates all had advanced degrees. I decided to let them think I had a master's degree when I was just getting my bachelor's. - Oh, wow! You've quite a collection. - Yeah, I'm a bibliophile. How to Make Love All Night and Drive a Woman Wild? - Well, you know? (LAUGHS) - I think we're gonna get along - pretty well. (LAUGHS) - (LAUGHS) Well, - I don't know about that. I... - Yeah. - (INHALES SHARPLY) - And now it's gotten to the point where he's lying to them every day. I have a friend on the team that keeps sending me, um, jobs that require a master's degree. So now, it's being shoved back in my face again, and I'm running out of excuses. I understand his dilemma. This trivia team is his life. And when you reveal your true self, people don't always like what they see. But I wanted to show him that if you plan for every variable, a happy outcome doesn't have to be left to chance. (MUSIC FADES) I assume you've seen some of my previous work? Or... - I'm afraid I haven't. - Okay. Um... It's... I made a show called Nathan For You. Oh, okay. Didn't you say your trivia specialty is television shows? It is but there's even a limitation on that. - Oh, okay. (CHUCKLES) - (LAUGHS) - Um... - Yeah. I mean, you should check it out. - Oh, I mean, definitely. - But a lot of it involved - working with real people... - KOR Yeah. ...so I'd have to put myself in all these uncertain environments and I became really good at predicting how people would act in a future situation. - Okay, okay. - For example. - Yeah. - Like this conversation's going - pretty well, right? - Okay, I'd like to continue it. I mean, do you think so? I don't know. - Yeah. I'm... So far, so good. - I mean, we've been having fun. - Yes. - I assume we have been - sharing some laughs so far. - Yeah. Yeah. - I hope to continue that way. - (BOTH LAUGH) So, that's no accident. (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) Everything that's happened so far today, I have rehearsed it dozens of times. These exact words, in a replica of your home, - with an actor playing you. - Okay. Remember a couple of weeks ago, when the gas company came by because of a leak in your building? - Yes... - Well, there wasn't a leak in your building, that was my team. - (KNOCKING AT DOOR) - FAKE GAS COMPANY Now, when you gave them access, they secretly made a digital map of your entire home. We then recreated every detail of this space as a physical set in a warehouse a few miles from here. And with the help of a fake you, I could practice every single permutation of this interaction and have a plan for it. I mean, do you think I should say something about the doors? The actor I hired analyzed your submission video to mimic your speech patterns and psychology. Well, it's me with my... My parents, I was... I can't remember, maybe I was about ten? How to Make Love All Night and Drive a Woman Wild? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah, that was a... - I feel like we're gonna - get along pretty well. - (LAUGHS) And we tried over and over. - Hi. Nathan. - FAKE KOR Hey. - Hi. Nathan. - FAKE Hi. Hey, hi. - Hi. Nathan. - Hi. (CHUCKLES) Hi. - (CHUCKLES) - Oh, door city over here. Huh? And I'd adjust each time until I perfected it. - Or shoes off? - No, no, no, you can leave them on, it's fine. All right. What about shirt off? - (BOTH LAUGH) - Leave it on, please. Yeah, so that will probably make him laugh. So everything that's happened so far today, I have rehearsed it dozens of times. These exact words, in a replica of your home, with an actor playing you. Wow! (MUSIC CONCLUDES) Wow! This is what we can do for your lie with your friends. - Yeah, uh-huh. - Your trivia, like, this is the potential - is what I am saying. - I see. Like a person, if I had the ability to know... if I knew what... how the other person or other people are gonna react, or how the situation is gonna go... - You'll know. - Yeah. You'll know what exactly to say for every possible way. Well... Oh, then that would be extremely appealing, yes. But as we kept talking, I began to understand the real reason he had been putting this off for so long. Mm. Well, it's good except for one thing. Suppose one of my friends might give a reaction that's very, very violent on some people, even beyond the several predictions you can make. What do you mean by violent? - So... - Like, you know, call me names and saying things that are so unforgivable that I couldn't be their friend after that. Who are you worried about specifically? Uh... Um, I'd rather not reveal the name, not at this point, but um... it's definitely someone that's on the team. I found myself in an odd situation. (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) Kor was willing to point out his friend in a photo, but he wouldn't tell me anything else about her. She looks so nice, what is it about her? Oh, she's a nice person, very nice, but... Hmm, how do I put it? Uh, if she... Depending on her mood, you don't wanna cross her - too much. - Oh, my God! Okay. It was frustrating. My rehearsal for today was designed to get him to open up about this stuff, but perhaps I had done something to put him off. Thinking back, there was a somewhat off-color joke I tried after a trip to the bathroom. Oh, my gosh, I should start traveling with a plunger. - (SNICKERS) Ooh! - Good? You think he'd find that funny? Or... - Yeah. - But when I did it with the real Kor, it didn't land. Oh, my God, I should start traveling with a plunger. - (CHUCKLES) Oh, well, well. - Hmm? - Oh, well. (CHUCKLES) - (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) - Are they expensive? - No. No. (SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING) Could that joke have been it? I'd intended the joke to be self-deprecating about my unpredictable bowel movements, but reflecting on it later, I realized he could have interpreted it as a criticism that his bathroom was under-equipped. Whatever the reason, I couldn't stage a rehearsal for Kor with no details about his friend. So, I planned a day trip for us upstate, that was strategically designed to endear me to him and hopefully, get him to open up. - Have you ever been? - Never. - You've never? - I... Never in my entire life. So, your last name is Skeet and you've never been - skeet shooting? - No, no. - (GUNSHOT) - Oops. (LAUGHS) Pull. - (GUNSHOT) - (GROANS) Pull. (SERENE MUSIC PLAYING) I didn't tell Kor, but I had arranged ahead... - Pull. - ...of time to have the guns loaded with blanks, - in the hopes... - Pull. ...that it would create a moment of bonding, because we were both bad at this. (GRUNTS) - Huh? - You fired too early, man. I fired too early. Wow, we are not good at this. - Eh. - (NATHAN CHUCKLES) But it's nice to have a new experience. Yeah. But this was just laying the groundwork for the main event. The mutual disclosure of personal information in a heated pool. - (MUSIC CONCLUDES) - You mentioned you were married. Yes, I was married for five years. (SIGHS) - I was married for three years. - Oh, didn't know that. Is it sad for you? I consider it one of my, um... one of the bigger failures of my life. - One of the what? - Biggest failures of my life. (WATER SPLASHING) (WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING) I didn't want to go too deep into my private life, so I'd pre-planned for an elderly swimmer to interrupt us, in the hopes that it would convince Kor I was ready to share more had the moment not been ruined. I wasn't sure if my portrayal of vulnerability was convincing, but on the ride home, Kor finally told me the name of his trivia friend, Tricia, and what she did for a living. - (MUSIC CONCLUDES) - She's been mostly a freelance writer and she has, um, a blog, gives information about things you could do to save money and have fun. - What's the blog called? - Cheap Chick in the City. - Cheap Chick in the City? - Cheap Chick in the City. - Cheap Check in the City. - Cheap Chick in the City. - Cheap Check in the City. - Cheap Chick in the City. - (WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING) - Cheap Chick in the City seemed to be a bare-bones website dedicated to low-cost activities in New York. I was hoping it would be a window into Tricia's psyche, but it seemed like the majority of posts were just apologies for not having anything to post that day. I understand that. Sometimes you don't wanna say anything, but you do want people to know you exist. Regardless, I was hopeful this blog would be enough for the rehearsal actress we'd hire to base her performance on, in addition to Kor's insights. Uh, she has a... an appeal for an actor named Vincent... um, Karth... Karthreiser. But unfortunately, it wasn't enough. I mean, I think it's really useful to get a sense of what their reactions might be, and the kinds of words that they might use. So, to get her better access, I decided to create a blog of my own called Thrifty Boy, and offered Tricia the opportunity to write an article for us. And luckily, she took the gig. (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) Her article would entail interviewing a professional bird watcher for our site, because bird watching is a thrifty thing to do. But what Tricia didn't know is that she'd be interviewing her own doppelgänger, who would be studying her every move. -FAKE Nice to meet you. (CHUCKLES) - FAKE Tricia? Oh, that's my daughter's name. FAKE Um, I do love hummingbirds. At first glance, this woman didn't seem frightening at all, but she did like to talk. But you know my dad is really into birds. - FAKE Oh, yeah? - He seriously has like... He lives in North Carolina, which I guess, apparently, there's a very big bird show there. A really good book called The Huntress, - and I do recommend it. It's World War ll. - FAKE Okay. But otherwise, I mean, aside from my roommates, I'm actually pretty happy with the way things are, but my roommate's definitely... You know, like, Hey, I'm running late, like, but maybe he found a payphone, maybe, but like... One time, like, the plane started plunging, so - after that, like... - FAKE Oh. I still get kind of nervous when I'm in a plane and... Over the course of the 30-minute encounter, our actress had trouble getting a single word in, even though she was the one being interviewed. So, I have all the apps, you know, for the different, you know, airlines, on my phone, ready to go, - whenever I need to fly. - Yeah. American Airlines, Delta, um, Gogo inflight entertainment. But before it was over, I wanted to get a sense of how Tricia would respond to being lied to. Data that would be crucial - for our rehearsal. - (MUSIC FADES) FAKE There's actually something I need - to come clean about. Um... - Okay. FAKE I said early on that my daughter's name was Tricia... - Mm-hmm. - FAKE ...but that was actually a lie. - Oh, okay. - FAKE I don't... - I don't have a daughter. Um... - Oh, wow! Okay. I guess I should have guessed when you said you were 39, 'cause it's a little young to have a daughter these days. - (ACTOR CHUCKLES) - That's okay, that's funny, 'cause I was like, I mean, like I said, you don't meet too many other Tricias, so I was a little surprised, but you know, that's... Yeah, that's interesting, but I understand. - I'm sorry that I... (SIGHS) - It's fine, no worries. Do you have any funny moments that you had with a bird? With birds? Or any fun stories about birds? - (WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING) - I was surprised by how not mad Tricia was. Was Kor worried for nothing, or was Tricia just able to bottle up her rage because it was a stranger? Kor was so convinced she would have an extreme reaction that he insisted the confession could only go down one-on-one, in a public place. Trivia would be, I think, the only place that would not arouse suspicion, because that's something we do out of habit already. - Okay. - I can probably get her in a trivia event, by ourselves, just between she and I. - (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) - But when I saw the trivia bar Kor frequents, I was overwhelmed by the chaos - of the environment. - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) This is footage I collected from the Alligator Lounge in Brooklyn, and it seemed like any aspect of this space could radically transform the tone of his big moment. I had learned this firsthand when I met Kor. I thought I would look cool, but due to just a slight difference in chairs, I looked like a fool. - (WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING) - It's hard to say what about this place could affect Kor's confession, but I did notice there were a lot of chairs, and I didn't want to leave anything to chance. Kor had messaged Tricia to play trivia with him in just under two weeks' time. This is where it would happen. The place where he would finally come clean. So with the clock now ticking, I invited Kor into my secret warehouse to begin his rehearsal. (MUSIC FADES) Wow, this is... (CHUCKLES) ...the perfect replica. I mean, that's not even a fun house version of it. It has... It looks... Wow! (SERENE MUSIC PLAYING) Every detail was meticulously replicated - this time. - Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! This spice rack, it's the exact spices they have, the garlic... - Yeah. - ...the basil. This chair is an exact... - This... These rips... - Wow! - Yeah, and that, even that's... - Well... ...exactly the way it is. The portrait kind of tilts. You see that balloon there? That's in the real bar. Wow! It'll be like walking in, in a normal level, and then being able - to know my bearings. - When you show up on the actual night, it'll feel just like this. - Yes. - No surprises. - No. - You know everything that's gonna happen. There's something strange about entering a space that's indistinguishable from another. In moments, you can forget where you are. To me, it's like... It's a little surreal at times because... - (MUSIC FADES) - ...I mean it's like... You're the, um... You're Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory and I'm Charlie Bucket, trying to get the... I don't remember the plot fully, what did Willy Wonka do? - Was he good? - Well, he created... - Wasn't he a bad guy? - Well, he had some questionable things, he was this mysterious, um... Uh, factory full of candy, - basically. - But I'm Willy... - I'm the bad guy in the story? - Well, but he's a dream maker. - Okay. - And you're doing... You're making some dreams happen for me. But kids died in the factory. Well, they supposedly died, I don't know for sure - if they actually... - Okay. But they didn't get some good fate out of it. I'll read the book again just to... to look into it. Yeah. (PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING) It's good. We started with basic blocking, and the first choice Kor would have to make is where to sit. - What's yours? This one? - Yep. Yes. - Yeah. - Good? Kor proposed that on the night, he would arrive early, and secure his favorite table using his hat while he went to grab their trivia sheet and drinks for the two of them from the bar. - Hi, can I help you? - Yes, can I have an orange juice, no pulp, - and a margarita, please? - Coming right up. Is that a margarita? What is it? - What did you put in it? - I don't know... Just make... I don't know how to make a margarita. He thought that greeting Tricia with a drink would help put her in a good mood, since she normally shows up at trivia complaining about something. My roommates are driving me crazy, and just, it's one of those days where you're like, You don't need to be rude. I think it's just, like, we're all human beings here. And he suggested trying to joke with her to lighten her spirits. I would guess I would say, um... (MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY) I'm gonna probably give you a little buzz tonight because I'm sure someone's plucking your nerves today. Okay, is that a joke? Or just a line... - It'll be more of a joke. - Okay. For every way Tricia could react, I would input a planned response from Kor into specialized flowchart software. - FAKE Hey. - Hi, Trish the dish. FAKE How you doing? This would allow us to chart the optimal path through the evening. Are you... Are you starting with presidents? - No, I'm starting with twins. - Oh, you went twins and then - go to presidents? - I started with twins and I connected to... - And then go to the presidents? - Yeah. Okay. A decision tree that would guide us towards key milestones and help us avoid pitfalls. - Hey. Hi, man. - Hi. Trish the Dish. Kor had told me there was a chance Tricia could misinterpret his invitation as a sign of romantic interest. I mean, she's a single person and I guess... uh, that after all these years, I'm inviting her by myself. Right. (CHUCKLES) You know I don't drink very much, you trying to get me drunk? But when we ran that simulation, he gave confusing signals. You're leaving your hand touching hers right there. Well, if I move it then it's gonna ing more suspicion to it. I mean, how as a woman, how would you take that? If you touched a guy's hand and he just left it there. She could read that as you flirting back. Right. So, I had Kor practice some standard defenses to any advance she might make. FAKE I think it's really nice of you to get me a drink. I feel like it's um... Just, yeah, it's nice to go like, come and... But, of course, all this was designed to lay the perfect foundation for him to confess his lie. - To confess his lie. - (MUSIC FADES) Did I tell you what happened with my laptop? - No, no idea. - Yeah, so, I... The other day I went to switch it on and it just didn't switch on, and like, it was, you know that thing of... I was in the middle of writing something, so I'm thinking I'm gonna lose the pictures that are in there... Well, it's funny that you think about losing, I wanted... - This might... - It sounds heavy, but actually, don't worry because I... This story turned around, like, I didn't actually end up losing the photos and the stuff, but I did have to take it to get it fixed. Kor, I think you need to take control of the conversation, she's not gonna give you an opening. - Oh, okay. - If you just let her talk she's just gonna keep talking, right? I'll try just one more time. To see if I can find another pattern into eaking into the conversation. Okay. Try it. FAKE Like, he just couldn't make any kind of conversation and like, he suddenly said like, something about, like, pineapple being a member of the citrus family, and like... My educational situation is a fraud. - What? - (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) But just starting his confession wasn't the only challenge. Kor was most worried about the aftermath. So, our entire approach had to be planned around the format of this particular trivia night. Well, there's, uh, um, usually six questions per round, it's about four rounds. After round two, they usually have a ten to 15-minute eak. We're gonna take a ten-minute eak, and I'm gonna add up all your scores. And then during that time, uh, sometimes we would order some pizza. Here are your two tickets for pizza. The ideal thing would be to talk about it for five minutes and then, yeah, move on. I don't want to linger, I just wanna say it and then pretty much have it dropped. So, you don't have a master's degree? No. I just don't want you to send me any more information - about jobs that have a master's degree... - Definitely not gonna do that. Like, I really wanna understand like, why... How did we end up here? So, you just wanna shut it down. I wanna shut it down. So, at least if I do it toward the end, then the benefit is I can leave if I think, Okay, too hairy, and say, Oops, I have an appointment to go to, sorry, I have to go. I don't owe you an explanation for that, I really don't. I owe you an apology for putting you through that, but I don't feel I owe you an explanation. All right, well, can we like, discuss it after the trivia? I don't wanna discuss it any longer about the situation. So, I'd rather say it at least after the last round, - but before the scores. - (MUSIC FADES) All right, start finishing up your ballots and ing them up to score when you're ready, all right? But as soon as we started incorporating full rounds of trivia into our rehearsal, - it revealed a problem. - (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) What is the number on the roof of the bus in Speed? - What... - Wow! FAKE TRIVIA ...is the number on the roof of the bus in Speed? Kor became entranced by the game, and when he didn't know an answer, he couldn't focus on anything else. That's right, I'm gonna lose some points on this one. - FAKE Yeah. - I thought I would have known, uh, who hosted Wheel of Fortune - before Pat Sajak. - Okay. And I had 10,000 names in my head but I couldn't - pinpoint anybody. - Sure. Okay, well, do you wanna go into the confession? Or do you wanna try that or... Uh... It's the option... And he grew frustrated that the stress of having to confess this lie was affecting his trivia game. I'm not gonna take the chance to miss good questions because I'm having this burden, 'cause we can actually just lose points because the concentration is off... Right, but who cares if you lose the game? You got this off your chest, I mean, it's just one night of bar trivia. No. One night of bar trivia is sacrosanct to us. And that's when he told me that if it wasn't going well on the actual trivia night, he might bail on the confession entirely. No, I would not... I'm not sacrificing trivia night. - Not for that, no. - Isn't it just for fun? - Like everyone's drunk, right? - No. (SCOFFS) Then I'm gonna have two things against me, I mess up a good trivia night and I, um, lied to her. So, to me, I gotta take one of them out of the equation. - Okay. (SIGHS) - (SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING) I had gone to incredible lengths to eliminate all uncertainty from the night. But the only way to know the actual trivia questions that the real host would be asking would involve some sort of cheating, and that would be unethical. But maybe it's more unethical to leave things to chance when there's something you could have done. - (MILD TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING) - So, posing as the founder of the popular blog Thrifty Boy, I arranged an interview with the real trivia host at one of the other bars he hosts at... - Hey. - Oh, hey. Nice to meet you. ...under the pretense of doing a Thrifty Boy trivia night feature. Now, is it mandatory to buy drinks? Because our readers really don't like to spend money. There's... We have not had a problem with having people forced to buy drinks or food. And does the bar charge for seltzer water, or is that free? That's up to each individual establishment. - And to... I think... - Very cool, okay. I told him we wanted the profile to include an interactive video component in which he would read the questions for the Alligator Lounge's upcoming trivia night to camera, so our readers could play along at home for free. What conflict began in 1789 and led to the beheading of Louis XVI? It was one thing to get the trivia questions for the big night, but making sure Kor knew the answers would be its own challenge. So, I don't know why Archie had trouble choosing them except for the personality cause they look physically the same. I knew that cheating at trivia was something Kor doesn't tangle with. Have you ever cheated at trivia? No. So we started going on daily walks just to chat about life, but I was actually using these casual strolls to covertly implant every single trivia answer into Kor's ain without him knowing. If you ever need to get in, the code is 1789. Oh, okay. Like the year the French Revolution started... - Yes. - ...in 1789. - I'm not a big summer person. - Uh-huh. - And I'm not a big... - Oh, shit! - ...spring person. - It's all over my DKNY pants. Donna Karan New York, DKNY. - Only in New York. - (CHUCKLES) Building's looking pretty tall. It is tall, but it's not the tallest building in the world. That'll be the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. - The Burj Khalifa? Huh. - Yup. The Burj Khalifa. Tallest building. - What's going on here? - It's a hostage situation, guy has four people at gunpoint. Shot someone in the head on his way in. Oh, my God! That's nuts. - Oh, my gosh. - It's days like these that I curse the Chinese for inventing gunpowder. - Wow! - That's crazy. Oh, my God. Well, good luck to you, sir. Good luck with the whole - process. - Oh, my God. - Prayers for the family. - (GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING) With just three days to go until Kor would meet up with Tricia at the real Alligator Lounge, I had over 30 actors occupy the space, playing customers, servers. We had real beer on tap and even a working simulation of their pizza oven. - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (BELL DINGS) Each time we ran through the night, new variables were introduced that he would have to adapt to. With a special focus on the moment when he'd be confessing. I gotta tell you something, and it's been eating - at me for years. - FAKE Oh, yeah? Hey guys, how we doing over here? - Good. - I'm fine, thank you. Can we get you another drink? Can I get you a drink? - I think we're good. - Okay, Kor, so you probably don't want the interruption happening during the confession, so maybe you make sure your drink isn't empty - at this point in the night. - Okay. - Right? So, maybe tiny sips. - Right. - Can you just take tinier sips? - I got it, take tiny sips. We ran through the entire night 13 times. But unlike real life, in here, you can always hit the reset button and start over. It was the one place on earth you couldn't fail. Orange juice, no pulp. Hope you don't mind? I decided to give you a little buzz. I decided to... (SIGHS) ...give you a little buzz. It's something that's been eating at me for a long time. Oh, yeah? It's been eating at me for this... Forever, and I wanna... I just wanna tell you. - No pulp. - Okay. I gotta tell you something. This has been eating at me for years. My whole educational status has been a scam. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Just based after my childhood, I guess there's some issues there. Some insecurities I haven't been able to face until now. As we neared the end, Kor seemed to be testing new approaches, but that didn't mean Tricia always took it well. I don't understand why you felt the need to lie about your education. I mean, it's really messed up. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - I... - For years, we were trying to help you get a job 'cause you said you had a master's degree, and that was all bullshit! (SIGHS) - Well, I was just trying to... - Is this what you think a friendship is? Like, you have no respect for me, no respect for my time. I don't give a crap about your education. (BREATHES SHAKILY) But... But 12 years of deception, that's... Twelve years! It's unforgivable. (SOBS) I don't wanna talk to you again. Please don't go. FAKE PATRON 1: He lied about having a master's degree. I just heard their conversation. FAKE PATRON 2: (SCOFFS) No master's degree? FAKE PATRON 3: This guy is such a fraud. FAKE PATRON 4: Who doesn't have a master's degree? And the loser of tonight's trivia is... Kor Skeet. - (FAKE PATRONS MUTTERING) - (SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING) Are you sure you wanna do this? For sure? Well, it still felt good that I got it off my chest, even if it means I might lose a friendship in the process. Like... I don't think it'll go that bad. - (KOR CHUCKLES) Oh. Mm-hmm. - But... I'm literally going into the unknown, the pit of the alligator, and... he's gonna swallow me up or let me go free. - (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) We had planned for Kor to get there early to secure his chosen table. But when he arrived, there was a problem. The table was taken. Fortunately, we had rehearsed for this exact scenario. Sorry to bother you, my grandmother died of like, - ain cancer recently... - Same. ...and this... Terrible thing. This table here - is like a sentimental thing. - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Um, I know you're all settled here but would you consider to moving to another area? - I know it sounds outrageous. - - Yeah, if you want. - Oh, that'd be nice of you. - Thank you so much. - No worries. - Oh, I'm so sorry about that. - (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) - Do you have any orange juice? - Yes. Do you have it with no pulp? - Thank you so much. - Thank you so much. (CLEARS THROAT) (CHUCKLES) Hello! - Hey! - Trish the dish. - (CHUCKLES) Gosh! - Now what? - (TRICIA SIGHS) - I decided to get you a rum and coke, a little buzz. 'Cause I'm sure everyone's been plucking on your nerves, - or someone you know... - Oh my God. Yes,... (KOR LAUGHS) - I can understand that. - And then also... As expected, Tricia showed up not in the best of spirits, but Kor knew exactly what to talk about to cheer her up. - (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) - Um, the Bush twins. - - Yeah, Jenna and Laura. They're the only two children of a president, that are twins. - -With all the presidents, - sometimes having eight or nine kids. - - And none of them had twins within that range. - - Not even stillborn twins, not even like in that situation. - So he's the only one. (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) Kor was sticking to the script, and it was working. He's the earliest president we have that had like... has grandchildren still living from that generation. That is so crazy. And before long, it was time for trivia. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the moment you all have been waiting for, we're gonna start playing trivia. What mode of transportation places the rider in a laid-back, reclining position, distributing the rider's weight comfortably over a large area? Uh, these freaking recumbent bikes are everywhere. (LAUGHS) TRIVIA What mode of transportation places the rider in a laid-back reclining position, distributing the rider's weight comfortably over a large area? Probably a train. I think Amtrak did that but I'm not sure. Uh... Or it could be a bike, or something like that, one of those reclining bikes? But you don't really, recline the seat of a bike, - right? - Yeah. Kor was slightly off on the first question, and I was worried these answers weren't fully absorbed into his ain. TRIVIA The correct answer to that is a recumbent bike. - This is like, really... - Yeah, I knew it was a bike. But I... I know... I've seen it, but I couldn't imagine the name. I've, uh... I've heard the name. I wouldn't know the name. But then, things started to turn around. TRIVIA The correct answer is the French Revolution. - (CROWD CHEERING) - Look at you! TRIVIA The correct answer, gunpowder. (CROWD CHEERING) TRIVIA And the correct answer to that is called Burj Khalifa. Good! - (CROWD CHEERING) - (LAUGHS) It was an amazing streak that continued until the end of round four, and he seemed to be imming with confidence by the time he got up to hand in his score sheet, marking the start of his window to come clean. - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Thank you. I'll be right back. In our fake bar, we had practiced an option where he would get pizza for both of them right after the fourth round, so it would be easier for him to initiate the confession while her mouth was full, and since she was in a chatty mood, it seemed like he had decided to go for it. Two cheese pizzas, please. Two cheese? Okay, ten minutes. - Okay. - But then, something happened. (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) When he returned to the table to wait for his pizzas, Tricia wasn't talking. It was the perfect opportunity to begin his confession, but for some reason, he wasn't doing it. - Yeah. Yeah. - Okay. The pizza tastes better after a certain, uh, period of time, the pizza's good but then, after a couple of rounds, it really hits it in... (CHUCKLES, INHALES SHARPLY) Hits it to the last spot. Especially after a couple rums and cokes. (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) And as the clock kept ticking, he just sat there. (CLICKS TONGUE) In this case, ask over the lady who'd take the pizza, the faster it comes. Oh, my gosh. - (GRUNTS) - You know, there's been, uh, something on my mind - I've had to deal with and um... - (BELL DINGING) - You know, uh, maybe it's there? - That's right. Hang on a second. Okay. Okay. Almost around the corner. (GROANS) - What's up? - Hmm. They ring the bell, they're getting closer to making the pizza. Well, I guess so. Now what were you saying before? I feel bad that... This has been bothering me a long time - to tell you this. - What's that? Um, my whole educational life has been, like, uh, - kind of a fraud. - Really? Yeah. See, remember when I was showing pictures of my graduation - a couple years ago? - Yeah, sure. In front of the gang and everything like that? - Yeah. - And then you asked at the time, um, said that I got a master's degree. - Mm-hmm. - And I... - And I kinda went along with it. - Really? - Yeah. - Wow. I felt kinda bad because I didn't wanna level with you - about that. - Okay. Well... I was only going for my bachelor's degree at the time. It's still pretty impressive. I mean, you know, lots of people - don't have master's degrees. - (BELL DINGING) - Yeah. - It's cool, I'm not surprised, but like, 'cause I thought you had a master's but... - (BELL DINGING) - Hang on a second, one second. Yeah, thank you. - Two cheese? - Yes. Thank you. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) So, wow. I didn't realize you didn't have your master's degree, 'cause I thought you did. - That's what you said before. - Yeah, yeah, I've... See the thing is that, um, what made it worse was I came into the group, the trivia group... - Mm-hmm. - ...I was, like, the last person that even had a college degree. - Mm-hmm. - And I kinda felt like inferior - about that. - That's so silly, don't you feel upset about that. Lots of people barely even finish high school. My sister only got her GED like two years ago. (CHUCKLES) You know? Well, I just, um, you know, and I kept that lie going on all that time. And it kinda ate at me and then, you helped me, you know, apply for jobs, so it actually went that far to even send my résumé just to appease you. Oh, wow, I appreciate that so much, I had no idea. And I feel... You know? I just... (SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) My friendship with you means a great deal. - Me too. - And I don't want you to think that I would even continue lying to you. But you know, I've been living this lie all this time and - I kinda felt bad about that. - Well, it's so sweet to finally tell me, I had no idea. But, like... It's, you know, it's very ave of you to tell me this, and I really had no clue. Instead of trying to move on to another topic, Kor sat with her for the next hour-and-a-half and began sharing things that he had never told Tricia in their nearly 20 years of friendship. ...And my father used the situation where he sent the child support, which could be for my college education, - for me and my sister. - Wow! And by the time we came of age, he doesn't wanna pay for it. Wow, that's rough. I'm sorry to hear that. I really am. And what made it worse was when I was graduating... (SERENE MUSIC PLAYING) While we were practicing, I also had Kor rehearse the aftermath of his confession beyond the actual night. Whether it be the torment of a friendship lost... or the joy of a friendship strengthened. Where his confession opens the floodgates to actually talking for the first time. This is so nice, it's like, like such a difference from just normally when we're hanging out in the city in a bar, you know, just playing trivia and... Maybe it's easiest to choose a path when you can live the future first. To free yourself from doubt and regret, to always know the answers. (OVER TV) As a symbol of support for those living with AIDS - and HIV. - So, what is a ribbon? - FAKE Oh, yeah. - Red ribbons. - I would have lost a point... - FAKE Yeah. ...on the color. (MUSIC CONCLUDES) - So, how are you feeling? - Fantastic. We actually did better than expected, - when we actually won. - Well, congrats. Yeah. There were questions that were in my wheelhouse. The questions that were in my wheelhouse, I was able to answer those particular questions correctly. You got everything off your chest, and it must feel good. I got it off my chest, and I still won that night. - Trivia... - Which is an ex... I won a trivia night, and that's the extra cherry on the sundae, I guess. There's something I need to... come clean about. - Um... - Oh. So, I knew what the trivia answers were going to be tonight and I taught you them in advance without you knowing, and I know you're against cheating and this isn't cheating because you actually didn't know I was doing it, but I was just... wanted you to focus on the confession, and I wanted your confidence to be up, but I feel terrible about it, and I just... I'm sorry. I wanna say I'm sorry. Uh, yeah, I... Um... Okay, I understand what you're saying and um... I appreciate your motivation, but... you've tainted, you've ruined the whole thing for me, 'cause I knew the answers, I knew the answers and I'm on TV now, and everybody now is gonna think that I didn't know them, that I'm a fake and you... (INHALES SHARPLY) You know how important this was for me? This is a mistake. It was a huge mistake, and you fucked this all up. You're an awful... awful person. ('PURE IMAGINATION” BY GENE WILDER PLAYING) (DISTANT SIREN WAILING) I think you're... a great guy. Like you're a great person. Oh, well, thank you for the compliment. Yeah, just... I don't give compliments a lot, so I wanted to come clean about just kind of saying the compliment. I don't affirm people enough. - Oh. - Yeah, so... - It's just kind of like... Yeah. - That's nice of you to say. -Thank you, -You are, you are. - That's very touching. - Of course.

These two title MTV cartoon guys thought the band KISS was pretty cool - for a bunch of mimes. - Who is Beavis and Butt-Head? - Ben? - Who are Beavis and Butt-Head? - Yup! - Uh, TV character for 400. - From 1970 to... - I'm not good at meeting people for the first time. - Hey. Nice to meet you. Nathan. - Pleased to meet you. How are you? Kor. - Oh, door city over here. - Uh, yes. So, this is, um... Basically, it's like a portal, I guess, on some levels. Yeah. I have been told my personality can make people uncomfortable, so I have to work to offset that. Humor is my go-to instinct, but every joke is a gamble. - Shoes off or... - Oh, please walk as is. - And... - Okay. Shirt off? Or? Just kidding. - I'll leave my shirt on. - It's not that... No, it's not that kind of place. No, it's not, I'm just kidding. So far it was going well, and it had to, because I was about to ask this man to trust me with his life. Kor Skeet is a 50-year-old teacher from Brooklyn, New York, and there is nothing he loves more than trivia. I'm very good at television trivia. Who is the youngest person to ever be inducted into the Television Hall of Fame? It's a female. - Who? - Oprah Winfrey. A few months ago, Kor responded to a vague Craigslist post I put on the internet, sharing a story about a lie he told his bar trivia team over 12 years ago. I, um, told my friends that I had an advanced degree, and I didn't. I play trivia with them often, and the problem was that I... um, wanted to seem like I was smarter than I was. My teammates all had advanced degrees. I decided to let them think I had a master's degree when I was just getting my bachelor's. - Oh, wow! You've quite a collection. - Yeah, I'm a bibliophile. How to Make Love All Night and Drive a Woman Wild? - Well, you know? - I think we're gonna get along - pretty well. - Well, - I don't know about that. I... - Yeah. And now it's gotten to the point where he's lying to them every day. I have a friend on the team that keeps sending me, um, jobs that require a master's degree. So now, it's being shoved back in my face again, and I'm running out of excuses. I understand his dilemma. This trivia team is his life. And when you reveal your true self, people don't always like what they see. But I wanted to show him that if you plan for every variable, a happy outcome doesn't have to be left to chance. I assume you've seen some of my previous work? Or... - I'm afraid I haven't. - Okay. Um... It's... I made a show called Nathan For You. Oh, okay. Didn't you say your trivia specialty is television shows? It is but there's even a limitation on that. Oh, okay. - Um... - Yeah. I mean, you should check it out. - Oh, I mean, definitely. - But a lot of it involved - working with real people... - Yeah. ...so I'd have to put myself in all these uncertain environments and I became really good at predicting how people would act in a future situation. - Okay, okay. - For example. - Yeah. - Like this conversation's going - pretty well, right? - Okay, I'd like to continue it. I mean, do you think so? I don't know. - Yeah. I'm... So far, so good. - I mean, we've been having fun. - Yes. - I assume we have been - sharing some laughs so far. - Yeah. Yeah. I hope to continue that way. So, that's no accident. Everything that's happened so far today, I have rehearsed it dozens of times. These exact words, in a replica of your home, - with an actor playing you. - Okay. Remember a couple of weeks ago, when the gas company came by because of a leak in your building? - Yes... - Well, there wasn't a leak in your building, that was my team. FAKE GAS COMPANY Now, when you gave them access, they secretly made a digital map of your entire home. We then recreated every detail of this space as a physical set in a warehouse a few miles from here. And with the help of a fake you, I could practice every single permutation of this interaction and have a plan for it. I mean, do you think I should say something about the doors? The actor I hired analyzed your submission video to mimic your speech patterns and psychology. Well, it's me with my... My parents, I was... I can't remember, maybe I was about ten? How to Make Love All Night and Drive a Woman Wild? - Yeah, that was a... - I feel like we're gonna get along pretty well. And we tried over and over. - Hi. Nathan. - Hey. - Hi. Nathan. - Hi. Hey, hi. - Hi. Nathan. - Hi. Hi. Oh, door city over here. Huh? And I'd adjust each time until I perfected it. - Or shoes off? - No, no, no, you can leave them on, it's fine. All right. What about shirt off? Leave it on, please. Yeah, so that will probably make him laugh. So everything that's happened so far today, I have rehearsed it dozens of times. These exact words, in a replica of your home, with an actor playing you. Wow! Wow! This is what we can do for your lie with your friends. - Yeah, uh-huh. - Your trivia, like, this is the potential - is what I am saying. - I see. Like a person, if I had the ability to know... if I knew what... how the other person or other people are gonna react, or how the situation is gonna go... - You'll know. - Yeah. You'll know what exactly to say for every possible way. Well... Oh, then that would be extremely appealing, yes. But as we kept talking, I began to understand the real reason he had been putting this off for so long. Mm. Well, it's good except for one thing. Suppose one of my friends might give a reaction that's very, very violent on some people, even beyond the several predictions you can make. What do you mean by violent? - So... - Like, you know, call me names and saying things that are so unforgivable that I couldn't be their friend after that. Who are you worried about specifically? Uh... Um, I'd rather not reveal the name, not at this point, but um... it's definitely someone that's on the team. I found myself in an odd situation. Kor was willing to point out his friend in a photo, but he wouldn't tell me anything else about her. She looks so nice, what is it about her? Oh, she's a nice person, very nice, but... Hmm, how do I put it? Uh, if she... Depending on her mood, you don't wanna cross her - too much. - Oh, my God! Okay. It was frustrating. My rehearsal for today was designed to get him to open up about this stuff, but perhaps I had done something to put him off. Thinking back, there was a somewhat off-color joke I tried after a trip to the bathroom. Oh, my gosh, I should start traveling with a plunger. - Ooh! - Good? You think he'd find that funny? Or... - Yeah. - But when I did it with the real Kor, it didn't land. Oh, my God, I should start traveling with a plunger. - Oh, well, well. - Hmm? Oh, well. - Are they expensive? - No. No. Could that joke have been it? I'd intended the joke to be self-deprecating about my unpredictable bowel movements, but reflecting on it later, I realized he could have interpreted it as a criticism that his bathroom was under-equipped. Whatever the reason, I couldn't stage a rehearsal for Kor with no details about his friend. So, I planned a day trip for us upstate, that was strategically designed to endear me to him and hopefully, get him to open up. - Have you ever been? - Never. - You've never? - I... Never in my entire life. So, your last name is Skeet and you've never been - skeet shooting? - No, no. Oops. Pull. Pull. I didn't tell Kor, but I had arranged ahead... - Pull. - ...of time to have the guns loaded with blanks, - in the hopes... - Pull. ...that it would create a moment of bonding, because we were both bad at this. - Huh? - You fired too early, man. I fired too early. Wow, we are not good at this. Eh. But it's nice to have a new experience. Yeah. But this was just laying the groundwork for the main event. The mutual disclosure of personal information in a heated pool. You mentioned you were married. Yes, I was married for five years. - I was married for three years. - Oh, didn't know that. Is it sad for you? I consider it one of my, um... one of the bigger failures of my life. - One of the what? - Biggest failures of my life. I didn't want to go too deep into my private life, so I'd pre-planned for an elderly swimmer to interrupt us, in the hopes that it would convince Kor I was ready to share more had the moment not been ruined. I wasn't sure if my portrayal of vulnerability was convincing, but on the ride home, Kor finally told me the name of his trivia friend, Tricia, and what she did for a living. She's been mostly a freelance writer and she has, um, a blog, gives information about things you could do to save money and have fun. - What's the blog called? - Cheap Chick in the City. - Cheap Chick in the City? - Cheap Chick in the City. - Cheap Check in the City. - Cheap Chick in the City. - Cheap Check in the City. - Cheap Chick in the City. Cheap Chick in the City seemed to be a bare-bones website dedicated to low-cost activities in New York. I was hoping it would be a window into Tricia's psyche, but it seemed like the majority of posts were just apologies for not having anything to post that day. I understand that. Sometimes you don't wanna say anything, but you do want people to know you exist. Regardless, I was hopeful this blog would be enough for the rehearsal actress we'd hire to base her performance on, in addition to Kor's insights. Uh, she has a... an appeal for an actor named Vincent... um, Karth... Karthreiser. But unfortunately, it wasn't enough. I mean, I think it's really useful to get a sense of what their reactions might be, and the kinds of words that they might use. So, to get her better access, I decided to create a blog of my own called Thrifty Boy, and offered Tricia the opportunity to write an article for us. And luckily, she took the gig. Her article would entail interviewing a professional bird watcher for our site, because bird watching is a thrifty thing to do. But what Tricia didn't know is that she'd be interviewing her own doppelgänger, who would be studying her every move. Nice to meet you. Tricia? Oh, that's my daughter's name. Um, I do love hummingbirds. At first glance, this woman didn't seem frightening at all, but she did like to talk. But you know my dad is really into birds. - Oh, yeah? - He seriously has like... He lives in North Carolina, which I guess, apparently, there's a very big bird show there. A really good book called The Huntress, - and I do recommend it. It's World War ll. - Okay. But otherwise, I mean, aside from my roommates, I'm actually pretty happy with the way things are, but my roommate's definitely... You know, like, Hey, I'm running late, like, but maybe he found a payphone, maybe, but like... One time, like, the plane started plunging, so - after that, like... - Oh. I still get kind of nervous when I'm in a plane and... Over the course of the 30-minute encounter, our actress had trouble getting a single word in, even though she was the one being interviewed. So, I have all the apps, you know, for the different, you know, airlines, on my phone, ready to go, - whenever I need to fly. - Yeah. American Airlines, Delta, um, Gogo inflight entertainment. But before it was over, I wanted to get a sense of how Tricia would respond to being lied to. Data that would be crucial for our rehearsal. There's actually something I need - to come clean about. Um... - Okay. I said early on that my daughter's name was Tricia... - Mm-hmm. - ...but that was actually a lie. - Oh, okay. - I don't... - I don't have a daughter. Um... - Oh, wow! Okay. I guess I should have guessed when you said you were 39, 'cause it's a little young to have a daughter these days. That's okay, that's funny, 'cause I was like, I mean, like I said, you don't meet too many other Tricias, so I was a little surprised, but you know, that's... Yeah, that's interesting, but I understand. - I'm sorry that I... - It's fine, no worries. Do you have any funny moments that you had with a bird? With birds? Or any fun stories about birds? I was surprised by how not mad Tricia was. Was Kor worried for nothing, or was Tricia just able to bottle up her rage because it was a stranger? Kor was so convinced she would have an extreme reaction that he insisted the confession could only go down one-on-one, in a public place. Trivia would be, I think, the only place that would not arouse suspicion, because that's something we do out of habit already. - Okay. - I can probably get her in a trivia event, by ourselves, just between she and I. But when I saw the trivia bar Kor frequents, I was overwhelmed by the chaos of the environment. This is footage I collected from the Alligator Lounge in Brooklyn, and it seemed like any aspect of this space could radically transform the tone of his big moment. I had learned this firsthand when I met Kor. I thought I would look cool, but due to just a slight difference in chairs, I looked like a fool. It's hard to say what about this place could affect Kor's confession, but I did notice there were a lot of chairs, and I didn't want to leave anything to chance. Kor had messaged Tricia to play trivia with him in just under two weeks' time. This is where it would happen. The place where he would finally come clean. So with the clock now ticking, I invited Kor into my secret warehouse to begin his rehearsal. Wow, this is... ...the perfect replica. I mean, that's not even a fun house version of it. It has... It looks... Wow! Every detail was meticulously replicated - this time. - Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! This spice rack, it's the exact spices they have, the garlic... - Yeah. - ...the basil. This chair is an exact... - This... These rips... - Wow! - Yeah, and that, even that's... - Well... ...exactly the way it is. The portrait kind of tilts. You see that balloon there? That's in the real bar. Wow! It'll be like walking in, in a normal level, and then being able - to know my bearings. - When you show up on the actual night, it'll feel just like this. - Yes. - No surprises. - No. - You know everything that's gonna happen. There's something strange about entering a space that's indistinguishable from another. In moments, you can forget where you are. To me, it's like... It's a little surreal at times because... ...I mean it's like... You're the, um... You're Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory and I'm Charlie Bucket, trying to get the... I don't remember the plot fully, what did Willy Wonka do? - Was he good? - Well, he created... - Wasn't he a bad guy? - Well, he had some questionable things, he was this mysterious, um... Uh, factory full of candy, - basically. - But I'm Willy... - I'm the bad guy in the story? - Well, but he's a dream maker. - Okay. - And you're doing... You're making some dreams happen for me. But kids died in the factory. Well, they supposedly died, I don't know for sure - if they actually... - Okay. But they didn't get some good fate out of it. I'll read the book again just to... to look into it. Yeah. It's good. We started with basic blocking, and the first choice Kor would have to make is where to sit. - What's yours? This one? - Yep. Yes. - Yeah. - Good? Kor proposed that on the night, he would arrive early, and secure his favorite table using his hat while he went to grab their trivia sheet and drinks for the two of them from the bar. - Hi, can I help you? - Yes, can I have an orange juice, no pulp, - and a margarita, please? - Coming right up. Is that a margarita? What is it? - What did you put in it? - I don't know... Just make... I don't know how to make a margarita. He thought that greeting Tricia with a drink would help put her in a good mood, since she normally shows up at trivia complaining about something. My roommates are driving me crazy, and just, it's one of those days where you're like, You don't need to be rude. I think it's just, like, we're all human beings here. And he suggested trying to joke with her to lighten her spirits. I would guess I would say, um... I'm gonna probably give you a little buzz tonight because I'm sure someone's plucking your nerves today. Okay, is that a joke? Or just a line... - It'll be more of a joke. - Okay. For every way Tricia could react, I would input a planned response from Kor into specialized flowchart software. - Hey. - Hi, Trish the dish. How you doing? This would allow us to chart the optimal path through the evening. Are you... Are you starting with presidents? - No, I'm starting with twins. - Oh, you went twins and then - go to presidents? - I started with twins and I connected to... - And then go to the presidents? - Yeah. Okay. A decision tree that would guide us towards key milestones and help us avoid pitfalls. - Hey. Hi, man. - Hi. Trish the Dish. Kor had told me there was a chance Tricia could misinterpret his invitation as a sign of romantic interest. I mean, she's a single person and I guess... uh, that after all these years, I'm inviting her by myself. Right. You know I don't drink very much, you trying to get me drunk? But when we ran that simulation, he gave confusing signals. You're leaving your hand touching hers right there. Well, if I move it then it's gonna ing more suspicion to it. I mean, how as a woman, how would you take that? If you touched a guy's hand and he just left it there. She could read that as you flirting back. Right. So, I had Kor practice some standard defenses to any advance she might make. I think it's really nice of you to get me a drink. I feel like it's um... Just, yeah, it's nice to go like, come and... But, of course, all this was designed to lay the perfect foundation for him to confess his lie. To confess his lie. Did I tell you what happened with my laptop? - No, no idea. - Yeah, so, I... The other day I went to switch it on and it just didn't switch on, and like, it was, you know that thing of... I was in the middle of writing something, so I'm thinking I'm gonna lose the pictures that are in there... Well, it's funny that you think about losing, I wanted... - This might... - It sounds heavy, but actually, don't worry because I... This story turned around, like, I didn't actually end up losing the photos and the stuff, but I did have to take it to get it fixed. Kor, I think you need to take control of the conversation, she's not gonna give you an opening. - Oh, okay. - If you just let her talk she's just gonna keep talking, right? I'll try just one more time. To see if I can find another pattern into eaking into the conversation. Okay. Try it. Like, he just couldn't make any kind of conversation and like, he suddenly said like, something about, like, pineapple being a member of the citrus family, and like... My educational situation is a fraud. What? But just starting his confession wasn't the only challenge. Kor was most worried about the aftermath. So, our entire approach had to be planned around the format of this particular trivia night. Well, there's, uh, um, usually six questions per round, it's about four rounds. After round two, they usually have a ten to 15-minute eak. We're gonna take a ten-minute eak, and I'm gonna add up all your scores. And then during that time, uh, sometimes we would order some pizza. Here are your two tickets for pizza. The ideal thing would be to talk about it for five minutes and then, yeah, move on. I don't want to linger, I just wanna say it and then pretty much have it dropped. So, you don't have a master's degree? No. I just don't want you to send me any more information - about jobs that have a master's degree... - Definitely not gonna do that. Like, I really wanna understand like, why... How did we end up here? So, you just wanna shut it down. I wanna shut it down. So, at least if I do it toward the end, then the benefit is I can leave if I think, Okay, too hairy, and say, Oops, I have an appointment to go to, sorry, I have to go. I don't owe you an explanation for that, I really don't. I owe you an apology for putting you through that, but I don't feel I owe you an explanation. All right, well, can we like, discuss it after the trivia? I don't wanna discuss it any longer about the situation. So, I'd rather say it at least after the last round, but before the scores. All right, start finishing up your ballots and ing them up to score when you're ready, all right? But as soon as we started incorporating full rounds of trivia into our rehearsal, it revealed a problem. What is the number on the roof of the bus in Speed? - What... - Wow! ...is the number on the roof of the bus in Speed? Kor became entranced by the game, and when he didn't know an answer, he couldn't focus on anything else. That's right, I'm gonna lose some points on this one. - Yeah. - I thought I would have known, uh, who hosted Wheel of Fortune - before Pat Sajak. - Okay. And I had 10,000 names in my head but I couldn't - pinpoint anybody. - Sure. Okay, well, do you wanna go into the confession? Or do you wanna try that or... Uh... It's the option... And he grew frustrated that the stress of having to confess this lie was affecting his trivia game. I'm not gonna take the chance to miss good questions because I'm having this burden, 'cause we can actually just lose points because the concentration is off... Right, but who cares if you lose the game? You got this off your chest, I mean, it's just one night of bar trivia. No. One night of bar trivia is sacrosanct to us. And that's when he told me that if it wasn't going well on the actual trivia night, he might bail on the confession entirely. No, I would not... I'm not sacrificing trivia night. - Not for that, no. - Isn't it just for fun? - Like everyone's drunk, right? - No. Then I'm gonna have two things against me, I mess up a good trivia night and I, um, lied to her. So, to me, I gotta take one of them out of the equation. Okay. I had gone to incredible lengths to eliminate all uncertainty from the night. But the only way to know the actual trivia questions that the real host would be asking would involve some sort of cheating, and that would be unethical. But maybe it's more unethical to leave things to chance when there's something you could have done. So, posing as the founder of the popular blog Thrifty Boy, I arranged an interview with the real trivia host at one of the other bars he hosts at... - Hey. - Oh, hey. Nice to meet you. ...under the pretense of doing a Thrifty Boy trivia night feature. Now, is it mandatory to buy drinks? Because our readers really don't like to spend money. There's... We have not had a problem with having people forced to buy drinks or food. And does the bar charge for seltzer water, or is that free? That's up to each individual establishment. - And to... I think... - Very cool, okay. I told him we wanted the profile to include an interactive video component in which he would read the questions for the Alligator Lounge's upcoming trivia night to camera, so our readers could play along at home for free. What conflict began in 1789 and led to the beheading of Louis XVI? It was one thing to get the trivia questions for the big night, but making sure Kor knew the answers would be its own challenge. So, I don't know why Archie had trouble choosing them except for the personality cause they look physically the same. I knew that cheating at trivia was something Kor doesn't tangle with. Have you ever cheated at trivia? No. So we started going on daily walks just to chat about life, but I was actually using these casual strolls to covertly implant every single trivia answer into Kor's ain without him knowing. If you ever need to get in, the code is 1789. Oh, okay. Like the year the French Revolution started... - Yes. - ...in 1789. - I'm not a big summer person. - Uh-huh. - And I'm not a big... - Oh, shit! - ...spring person. - It's all over my DKNY pants. Donna Karan New York, DKNY. Only in New York. Building's looking pretty tall. It is tall, but it's not the tallest building in the world. That'll be the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. - The Burj Khalifa? Huh. - Yup. The Burj Khalifa. Tallest building. - What's going on here? - It's a hostage situation, guy has four people at gunpoint. Shot someone in the head on his way in. Oh, my God! That's nuts. - Oh, my gosh. - It's days like these that I curse the Chinese for inventing gunpowder. - Wow! - That's crazy. Oh, my God. Well, good luck to you, sir. Good luck with the whole - process. - Oh, my God. Prayers for the family. With just three days to go until Kor would meet up with Tricia at the real Alligator Lounge, I had over 30 actors occupy the space, playing customers, servers. We had real beer on tap and even a working simulation of their pizza oven. Each time we ran through the night, new variables were introduced that he would have to adapt to. With a special focus on the moment when he'd be confessing. I gotta tell you something, and it's been eating - at me for years. - Oh, yeah? Hey guys, how we doing over here? - Good. - I'm fine, thank you. Can we get you another drink? Can I get you a drink? - I think we're good. - Okay, Kor, so you probably don't want the interruption happening during the confession, so maybe you make sure your drink isn't empty - at this point in the night. - Okay. - Right? So, maybe tiny sips. - Right. - Can you just take tinier sips? - I got it, take tiny sips. We ran through the entire night 13 times. But unlike real life, in here, you can always hit the reset button and start over. It was the one place on earth you couldn't fail. Orange juice, no pulp. Hope you don't mind? I decided to give you a little buzz. I decided to... ...give you a little buzz. It's something that's been eating at me for a long time. Oh, yeah? It's been eating at me for this... Forever, and I wanna... I just wanna tell you. - No pulp. - Okay. I gotta tell you something. This has been eating at me for years. My whole educational status has been a scam. Just based after my childhood, I guess there's some issues there. Some insecurities I haven't been able to face until now. As we neared the end, Kor seemed to be testing new approaches, but that didn't mean Tricia always took it well. I don't understand why you felt the need to lie about your education. I mean, it's really messed up. - I... - For years, we were trying to help you get a job 'cause you said you had a master's degree, and that was all bullshit! - Well, I was just trying to... - Is this what you think a friendship is? Like, you have no respect for me, no respect for my time. I don't give a crap about your education. But... But 12 years of deception, that's... Twelve years! It's unforgivable. I don't wanna talk to you again. Please don't go. He lied about having a master's degree. I just heard their conversation. No master's degree? This guy is such a fraud. Who doesn't have a master's degree? And the loser of tonight's trivia is... Kor Skeet. Are you sure you wanna do this? For sure? Well, it still felt good that I got it off my chest, even if it means I might lose a friendship in the process. Like... I don't think it'll go that bad. - Oh. Mm-hmm. - But... I'm literally going into the unknown, the pit of the alligator, and... he's gonna swallow me up or let me go free. We had planned for Kor to get there early to secure his chosen table. But when he arrived, there was a problem. The table was taken. Fortunately, we had rehearsed for this exact scenario. Sorry to bother you, my grandmother died of like, - ain cancer recently... - Same. ...and this... Terrible thing. This table here is like a sentimental thing. Um, I know you're all settled here but would you consider to moving to another area? I know it sounds outrageous. - We can go table over. - Yeah, if you want. - Oh, that'd be nice of you. - Thank you so much. - No worries. - Oh, I'm so sorry about that. - - Do you have any orange juice? - Yes. Do you have it with no pulp? - Thank you so much. - Thank you so much. Hello! - Hey! - Trish the dish. - Gosh! - Now what? I decided to get you a rum and coke, a little buzz. 'Cause I'm sure everyone's been plucking on your nerves, - or someone you know... - I can understand that. As expected, Tricia showed up not in the best of spirits, but Kor knew exactly what to talk about to cheer her up. Um, the Bush twins. Yeah, Jenna and Laura. They're the only two children of a president, that are twins. With all the presidents, - sometimes having eight or nine kids. - - And none of them had twins within that range. - - Not even stillborn twins, not even like in that situation. - That is ... it's true So he's the only one. Kor was sticking to the script, and it was working. He's the earliest president we have that had like... has grandchildren still living from that generation. That is so crazy. And before long, it was time for trivia. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the moment you all have been waiting for, we're gonna start playing trivia. What mode of transportation places the rider in a laid-back, reclining position, distributing the rider's weight comfortably over a large area? Uh, these freaking recumbent bikes are everywhere. What mode of transportation places the rider in a laid-back reclining position, distributing the rider's weight comfortably over a large area? Probably a train. I think Amtrak did that but I'm not sure. Uh... Or it could be a bike, or something like that, one of those reclining bikes? But you don't really, recline the seat of a bike, - right? - Yeah. Kor was slightly off on the first question, and I was worried these answers weren't fully absorbed into his ain. The correct answer to that is a recumbent bike. - This is like, really... - Yeah, I knew it was a bike. But I... I know... I've seen it, but I couldn't imagine the name. I've, uh... I've heard the name. I wouldn't know the name. But then, things started to turn around. The correct answer is the French Revolution. Look at you! The correct answer, gunpowder. And the correct answer to that is called Burj Khalifa. Good! It was an amazing streak that continued until the end of round four, and he seemed to be imming with confidence by the time he got up to hand in his score sheet, marking the start of his window to come clean. Thank you. I'll be right back. In our fake bar, we had practiced an option where he would get pizza for both of them right after the fourth round, so it would be easier for him to initiate the confession while her mouth was full, and since she was in a chatty mood, it seemed like he had decided to go for it. Two cheese pizzas, please. Two cheese? Okay, ten minutes. - Okay. - But then, something happened. When he returned to the table to wait for his pizzas, Tricia wasn't talking. It was the perfect opportunity to begin his confession, but for some reason, he wasn't doing it. - Yeah. Yeah. - Okay. The pizza tastes better after a certain, uh, period of time, the pizza's good but then, after a couple of rounds, it really hits it in... Hits it to the last spot. Especially after a couple rums and cokes. And as the clock kept ticking, he just sat there. In this case, ask over the lady who'd take the pizza, the faster it comes. Oh, my gosh. You know, there's been, uh, something on my mind I've had to deal with and um... - You know, uh, maybe it's there? - That's right. Hang on a second. Okay. Okay. Almost around the corner. - What's up? - Hmm. They ring the bell, they're getting closer to making the pizza. Well, I guess so. Now what were you saying before? I feel bad that... This has been bothering me a long time - to tell you this. - What's that? Um, my whole educational life has been, like, uh, - kind of a fraud. - Really? Yeah. See, remember when I was showing pictures of my graduation - a couple years ago? - Yeah, sure. In front of the gang and everything like that? - Yeah. - And then you asked at the time, um, said that I got a master's degree. - Mm-hmm. - And I... - And I kinda went along with it. - Really? - Yeah. - Wow. I felt kinda bad because I didn't wanna level with you - about that. - Okay. Well... I was only going for my bachelor's degree at the time. It's still pretty impressive. I mean, you know, lots of people don't have master's degrees. - Yeah. - It's cool, I'm not surprised, but like, 'cause I thought you had a master's but... Hang on a second, one second. Yeah, thank you. - Two cheese? - Yes. Thank you. So, wow. I didn't realize you didn't have your master's degree, 'cause I thought you did. - That's what you said before. - Yeah, yeah, I've... See the thing is that, um, what made it worse was I came into the group, the trivia group... - Mm-hmm. - ...I was, like, the last person that even had a college degree. - Mm-hmm. - And I kinda felt like inferior - about that. - That's so silly, don't you feel upset about that. Lots of people barely even finish high school. My sister only got her GED like two years ago. You know? Well, I just, um, you know, and I kept that lie going on all that time. And it kinda ate at me and then, you helped me, you know, apply for jobs, so it actually went that far to even send my résumé just to appease you. Oh, wow, I appreciate that so much, I had no idea. And I feel... You know? I just... My friendship with you means a great deal. - Me too. - And I don't want you to think that I would even continue lying to you. But you know, I've been living this lie all this time and - I kinda felt bad about that. - Well, it's so sweet to finally tell me, I had no idea. But, like... It's, you know, it's very ave of you to tell me this, and I really had no clue. Instead of trying to move on to another topic, Kor sat with her for the next hour-and-a-half and began sharing things that he had never told Tricia in their nearly 20 years of friendship. ...And my father used the situation where he sent the child support, which could be for my college education, - for me and my sister. - Wow! And by the time we came of age, he doesn't wanna pay for it. Wow, that's rough. I'm sorry to hear that. I really am. And what made it worse was when I was graduating... While we were practicing, I also had Kor rehearse the aftermath of his confession beyond the actual night. Whether it be the torment of a friendship lost... or the joy of a friendship strengthened. Where his confession opens the floodgates to actually talking for the first time. This is so nice, it's like, like such a difference from just normally when we're hanging out in the city in a bar, you know, just playing trivia and... Maybe it's easiest to choose a path when you can live the future first. To free yourself from doubt and regret, to always know the answers. As a symbol of support for those living with AIDS - and HIV. - So, what is a ribbon? - Oh, yeah. - Red ribbons. - I would have lost a point... - Yeah. ...on the color. - So, how are you feeling? - Fantastic. We actually did better than expected, - when we actually won. - Well, congrats. Yeah. There were questions that were in my wheelhouse. The questions that were in my wheelhouse, I was able to answer those particular questions correctly. You got everything off your chest, and it must feel good. I got it off my chest, and I still won that night. - Trivia... - Which is an ex... I won a trivia night, and that's the extra cherry on the sundae, I guess. There's something I need to... come clean about. - Um... - Oh. So, I knew what the trivia answers were going to be tonight and I taught you them in advance without you knowing, and I know you're against cheating and this isn't cheating because you actually didn't know I was doing it, but I was just... wanted you to focus on the confession, and I wanted your confidence to be up, but I feel terrible about it, and I just... I'm sorry. I wanna say I'm sorry. Uh, yeah, I... Um... Okay, I understand what you're saying and um... I appreciate your motivation, but... you've tainted, you've ruined the whole thing for me, 'cause I knew the answers, I knew the answers and I'm on TV now, and everybody now is gonna think that I didn't know them, that I'm a fake and you... You know how important this was for me? This is a mistake. It was a huge mistake, and you fucked this all up. You're an awful... awful person. I think you're... a great guy. Like you're a great person. Oh, well, thank you for the compliment. Yeah, just... I don't give compliments a lot, so I wanted to come clean about just kind of saying the compliment. I don't affirm people enough. - Oh. - Yeah, so... - It's just kind of like... Yeah. - That's nice of you to say. -Thank you, -You are, you are. - That's very touching. - Of course. Come with me and you'll be In a world Of pure imagination Take a look and you'll see Into your imagination We'll begin with a spin Traveling in the world Of my creation What we'll see will defy Explanation If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view it Anything you want to, do it Want to change the world? There's nothing to it
Dave This is the most difficult season I've ever had. But I still believe there's great gold in Alaska waiting to be found. I think we've got virgin ground that's never been mined by the old timers. So I'm gonna come in with this excavator, do a little prospecting and try to figure out where we're gonna go with our next cut. Got a lot riding on this, our season, a lot of money, a lot of gold. What the hell is that? bleep Jason, I wanna show you something. Jason What the heck we got here? Dave An old trommel it looks like. That means it's been mined. thunder rumbling 5 days of Hacking / Camping / Lectures Join May Contain MCH2022.org Dave Holy bleep. What the hell? Our cut's flooded. What happened? Apparently, the pump didn't get fueled last night. I'm not really sure. Dave What do you mean? Were you down here last night when you walked out of here, you couldn't check it? Jason It was running and I seen the engines fuel it at about 3:30. So, I did not check it. narrator At Glacier Creek, a rookie mistake leaves the Pappy cut unminable, drowning in 4 feet of water. Dave These guys got to start stepping up and I don't know what to do about it. I mean I love these guys but, uh, bleep they can't even fuel their own machines? Everyone here on this mine site is capable of putting fuel in this pump, including me. So, it's everyone to blame. Dave Fire it up, let's go. engine starts Jason Well, it's so damn late in the season. So, I got to keep the plant running. It's a damn good thing I was out here till 9.30 at night, scratching and digging all this pay up. narrator It will take at least three hours to drain the cut. So, Jason digs into his stockpile of dry pay. Jason The Pappy cut has been delivering some gold, but we're not here just to have some gold delivered. We need the most bang for our buck. We know that lies right underneath that water right there. The gold always sits closer to the bedrock almost every time. narrator Over the last six weeks, the Pappy cut has been besieged by floods. But Jason's not ready to call it quits until he digs to the deepest potentially richest gold. If we start getting down on bedrock, get that water out of the way. Pappy cut will be paying that real money, that good gold. Dave So, the Pappy cut isn't paying out. We're not anywhere close to our goal. I'm hurting. I've spent a lot of money here and we don't have much money coming in. Problem we're fighting is the water and on top of that, I'm in a predicament right now, uh, without Casey, I don't know how long he's gonna be gone. narrator Last week. He was supposed to back yesterday by 5 o'clock and he never came back. narrator Rock truck driver, Casey Morgan, had to race home to Arizona to be with his wife, Vee, after a near-fatal hiking trip. My wife's missing. I need to get on the first bleep plane out of here. Dave Well, look, right now, we are screwed. We're one man down. And this cut's been a nightmare. narrator After pumping out over 600,000 gallons of water, the cut is finally drained. Dave If this was a normal area, I would just keep widening this pit and I would keep mining all of this. The problem is the larger of an opening I get, the more water that comes in, I can't manage that big of a cut. So, I got to open up another cut. Hey Jason, you got a copy? I wanna talk to you a minute. Yeah. I think we ought to clean up that pit, be done with it and then, I'm gonna open up another cut. I really think that this cut is as big as we can manage. narrator To get to bedrock, Jason benches down the Pappy cut, stripping 6 feet at a time. But every bucket he excavates, removes dirt that would otherwise soak up run-off from the surrounding valley. Now, 30 feet deep and a 150 feet wide the cut is vulnerable to much worse and more frequent flooding. Dave You got to get her done, buddy. TIme to move on. narrator Digging deeper hasn't seen richer gold. So, Dave plans to open a new smaller cut downstream. Jason on radio I get that we've had some bad situations, with pumps and water, but... ...we're still not at the bottom. If that bedrock drops down, it's very likely that gonna be a great pocket, you know, of gold. Dave The amount of time and effort and money that we're spending to get to the bottom, it's just not worth it. Really, it's... It's paying about the same all the way down. Looks like you got four days, that's the way I see it. And by that time, I'll have you another cut on the other side and we we'll manage it better than we managed this one. Jason 10-4, but not happy about it. Dave There's always a fine line of how I manage. I like to empower my guys to make decisions, but I'm the one that has my retirement tied up in this. There's times when I have to make unpopular decisions and choices that, you know, they don't like. There was a group, a mining company, that was doing a testing program and they stopped. Years later, another mining company picks up where they left off. They were 3 feet from hitting a $3 billion strike. I know Dave says we have to move on, but if I can show him good value's down there, I bet we stay. narrator Just 100 yards south. Dave This, to me, is virgin ground. Thick, big trees. Thousand acres that way, there's a thousand acres that way that's never been touched. You know there's got to be gold under there. narrator Tracing a path of the ancient riverbed out of the Pappy cut into a Cottonwood grove, Dave eaks new ground. Dave The old river channel came on this side. So, I'm going to poke a couple holes and see where the gold lives. I just gotta try to figure out where we're going to go with our next cut. Just what we have to do. That Eagle's hungry. Chris Man, what the hell? narrator Across site... Chris That was off plan. engine stopping narrator A ruck jam shuts down the plant. To stay in the race, for a 60-ounce clean-up this week, the crew can't afford any downtime. Nathan I thought there was something caught in there. I thought I ran out of feed real quick. And I was like, it don't make sense. 'Cause I can't see this. Dave What's wrong, Nater? Nathan Ah, looks like something in the hopper. Maybe it's clogged up a little bit. Dust and rock or something. Dave Come over here and look. Look in there. That's too full. Chris I thought we ran out of material. That's my fault. narrator Chris has crammed in so much dirt, the conveyors jam up. Dave It's irresponsible. Pretty elementary. Chris Sorry. Dave Chris needs tobleep figure it out. When I keep eaking down, we're not gonna get enough gold to pay the bills. Dave bleep a bleep circus, is what it is. A mother bleep circus. narrator Coming up. Jason I'm not leaving this cut. Dave Get your butt moving, Sanchez. Trying to get the gold, Dave. Chris I think I overfed it, 'cause I couldn't see it. Dave Oh don't make bleep excuses. We just gotta keep this stuff running. narrator At Glacier Creek, Team Turin's new wash plant, the Eagle, is shut down after Chris overfed the hopper. Nathan I don't think it's the best idea, but... Dave I would rev it up and turn your speed up. Nathan I hope it works out. narrator If the conveyor is pushed too hard, a torn belt would cost Dave thousands of dollars to replace. wash plant creaks Nathan That's not right. plant squeaking and creaking Dave Come on. water plant starts That going. Pretty simple fix, but this isn't working. We can't continue to do this. Chris... You can't keep making dumb mistakes. Chris But, I am loading blind. I thought it ran out of pay. I came back from lunch and I was like, Oh, God Almighty, and I went up, and whenever I started dumping, I looked, and I was like, Oh, we're full. - Dave God! - Chris Hey, you can't see. Dave He can't see when it's closer. If he fills it to those slots, that's way too much. Chris I thought it was a slot. Nathan Let's just cut a little slot right here, just like this. - Chris I could do that. - Dave We could do that, not here. Here, and you keep it at that level. Chris That's easy. Nathan Is that good, Chris? Okay with that? It's good. Start it up! We gave Chris some sight holes. He can see in there and he should be able to adjust the level in the feeder. Chris It's the first time that I've ever been told I overfed anything. So now they cut me two little holes out, looking into a black box, looking for black dirt. So, uh, not the easiest thing to do. But I can see the dirt better. - Dave Oh yeah. - Nathan Go Chris! It's good. All right, good job, Nate. See you later. The truth is, I don't hide my emotions well. The guys know when I'm stressed. You know, that's my style of leadership. I want them to know what's going on because they're my partners. They really are. Full steam ahead. wind blowing birds chirping Jason Time is of the essence. Getting the bedrock? It has to happen. narrator Dave has given Jason just four days to dig to the deepest gold in the Pappy cut and prove its worth. I gotta see where the bottom is or at least see if I can reach it. I think we're really on the right path to some unbelievable gold down there. Holy bleep. Seemed to hit some drabbles underneath this own layer. And now, I gotta pan. I just hope that as we're going down, it's getting better. Hmm. There's nothing in this pan to really speak of. Should be rich as hell. Unless it drops off here and we're not anywhere near the bedrock. For me, it's frustrating because I know there's better gold down there. Problem is... ...what if it's in just another 5 foot. Can't give up, can't stop. We'll find it. I don't know how to quit. My expectations, personally, every year are to do as much as we possibly can to obtain as much gold as we possibly can. If it's really, really great gold, it's gonna be super deep. I'll keep scratching on her. We've fought this hard so far, to get here. I don't want to leave any gold behind. narrator Downstream... Dave Feel like I'm Jason Sanchez, I'm digging a hole, man! narrator Dave hunts for new ground. Dave I just wanna see depths, uh, see what the makeup is. Starting to get into it now, it's pretty deep, there's uh... Actually, it's about 4 foot overburden on this, so I will pull a sample at the top of this gravel zone, and hopefully find some gold. Well, looks like main channel came through here one time. There's been, uh, I can see one, two, three, four, five different layers. Five different distinct zones where, uh, water flows have changed. That's good news. This is the first pan of a potential new kind cut, so. You know, you're always hoping for good gold that's up high, so I don't have to, uh, move a lot of overburden. That's just 3 feet. Then, you got three, four little ones, and then, a decent size right there. That's encouraging. What I found there, it's a good indication there's gold. I know that as you go down, it's going to get better, so at the bottom of that will be bigger gold. And that's our cut. Whoo! narrator Dave must now clear all the trees and vegetation, before his new cut is ready to mine. Dave Hey, Jason. Pushing all these pinewood trees, so I think our new cut's gonna be the Cottonwood Pass. Jason I can see those trees from here. Cottonwood cut it is, I like it! Dave What the hell is that? bleep Dave on radio Jason, I want to show you something. What the heck is out here? I don't know what it is. An old trommel, it looks like. Dave That means it's been mined. Jason That's not good. Dave sighs narrator On the hunt for virgin ground, Dave discovers old mining equipment. Dave I think this was a hydraulic mine thing. It's half of the pipe, and he probably just hydraulic-ed into it, and then out the bottom through those holes, went to a sluice. narrator Hydraulic mining was a technique favored by the Alaskan old-timers. Water cannons washed banks of gold-rich material into a basic handmade sluice. The process was cheap and easy, and is still, sometimes used today. Dave It's not that old, I mean, modern day welding. They got galvanized stuff, they didn't have that till maybe the '40s. I think this was just a really cheap way to mine. That's amazing though, that they were hand working in the '40s. You know, with all the equipment and technology that was advancing. I think it was just somebody came in here and tried to get a quick buck. You know? chuckles Dragged that old piece of pipe in here and, you know, tried it. We go below where they mined, we should find a lot of gold. - Jason They never got to see bedrock. - No. - chuckles - Nope. They were in here mining with old-style hand workings. Who knows what's below here? narrator At the wash plant... Oh, it's been a week now, and Casey's been home. So, it's been kind of rough, you know, I've been running the whole truck around and trying to do two or three jobs at once. narrator With Casey off-site, Nate, Chris, and Andrew have to work overtime just to keep the Eagle running. Chris As long as they keep inging the material to us, I'll keep putting rocks in the box. Andrew on radio Hey, shut it down, shut it down. Nathan on radio What's going on? Nathan We got a grizzly squawking around. I think thebleep grizzly's loose. See that? Loose. The grizzly box bolts to the main shaker box and these bolts that go through here, that actually hold it up against there, came loose. narrator The Eagle's grizzly bars bolt to the shaker box that vi ates to prevent larger rocks slipping inside. A constant vi ation has loosened the bolts, and left the Eagle unable to process the pay. So, we'll just tighten 'em all up real quick, go to the other end and tighten the bleep out of them. And, fire it back up, man. All right. Nathan Dave, we're gonna fire it up real quick. machinery revving clanking Nathan speaking Damn it! Nathan It vi ates so aggressive, that it is basically beats itself to death. And, it don't take no time. I mean no time. I mean, five minutes... She done and it comes loose, no matter what. Dave It's the nature of a frickin' screen, man. They wanna tear themselves apart. Dave grunts They just tightened them, and then, they just came loose. Loose. Loose. That's a stout piece of steel. Um, if a guy can get a... ...A damn good weld here, it ain't going anywhere. It's all held together with nuts and bolts. You weld them in, then you're done. You'll never tighten it up again. That's frustrating. It was running so good, and then... It's always something. Casey Hi, babe. Got you some food. Vee Oh, awesome. narrator 10 days ago, Casey had to return home to Arizona to look after his wife, Vee. - She's looking for a treat. - She is. chuckles softly Casey Who the hell gets a call that their wife disappeared in the Grand Canyon? I did. It was the most devastating thing I've ever gone through. My other called me to see if I wanted to go hike the Grand Canyon, and I'm always down for new adventure. We started our descent down and all of a sudden my other started cramping, and he asked me to get help. So, I started hiking back and I realized that I was off track. So, I slept there overnight, and as soon as the sun came up, made it to the top and I waved down a bus driver. It took 'em two more days to find my other. I thought he was not gonna make it. I'm glad you're okay. And, I'm glad you're here. I need you. I don't know if I want you to go back. To be honest. Casey It was super, super hard being away from my wife and son. This is a lot of seasons of me being gone. It beats up on her, and I'm not there to help. Let's show 'em what you're building. Come on. If you're going to be in this gold mining game, you're going to pay a price. And, you have to decide when that price is too high to pay. - Bam! - Good job. Hey, let's go check on Mom, okay? mimics plane flying My wife's gone through a pretty traumatic event. And, right now I'm not sure I'm gonna go back to Alaska. engine whirring I'm not leaving this cut until I punch down and I see what's down there. narrator With the Eagle down and with just three days left until Dave pulls the plug on the Pappy cut, Jason targets a 20 square foot section of ground to fight down to bedrock. Jason I'm trying to get through this as quick as possible. That way I can dig and see if... ...I'm gonna have to ask for more time in this cut. Gold fever is when you start making decisions that make absolutely no sense. And, you start running off of instincts and gut feelings of something that's in the ground that you can't see. There's a grilled cheese sandwich of gold sitting down there. I just gotta get to it. thudding Now is that bedrock or frickin' boulders? Yep, that's bedrock. Whoo! laughing This is one of those things where... When your job is to find the gold, stay on the gold and chase the gold, you gotta know what's at the bottom. You don't give up till you see the bottom or the boss man says, No offence, but you're done. We got one piece and a bunch of fines. Hey, Nater! Look how round, like, how thick this one is. I wanted to see that thick, coarser, nuggety-looking gold. In the first pan, to grab something, have a little thicker, little bit of that bedrock gold look. I'm pretty confident. We'll send it to the burner pay. Let's go. Yeah! Jason That's what we've been saying all along. Good gold should be down on bedrock. narrator Now, Jason must send as much bedrock pay to the plant as he can, before this week's gold weigh. Jason Now, I'm feeling pretty optimistic. The particle size was... It was decent. I know there's good gold down there. At least I think there is. Damn, I hope I'm right. thunder rumbling This is, uh, Alaska weather at its best, right here. narrator A violent thunderstorm sweeps through Glacier Creek at the worst possible time. Dave These eakdowns are costly. Every minute you're not sluicing, you're losing money. narrator The wash plant's been out of action for two hours. Dave has no choice. He must weld the bolts to the grizzly bars in the middle of the downpour. I've got to tighten it down as tight as we can get it. And then, we will weld it. Problem is that it's raining. Welding in the rain can be difficult at times. But, we'll put a tarp over us, and then weld it. That's all we can do. bleep Nathan That electricity and water don't mix very well. You're welding up there, you get zingered, and you go, Zzzt! Zingered! electricity crackling bleep Well, I could wait for better weather, but I'm running out of time on this claim. Always moving. Hey, Nate! Think we're set. Welded up. Bolted up tight. Just hope and pray it holds. engine starts Okay Chris, load it up. We're ready to go. Dave Oh, Lord, please let this thing stay together. That's the sound I wanna hear. Grizzly sounds good. Eagle's running. Eagle's flying again. Back in business. It's a wet, nasty day, but we're making gold. narrator Now, the Eagle is back running. Dave There's evidence that the Cottonwood cut had been mined by the old timers. And, I don't think it's been mined very deep. But, I wanna make sure. narrator Dave heads to Valdez to search for more clues of historical mining at the Cottonwood cut. Dave I love to go into the archives, li aries and museums and find out who's mined here before. Any information I can gather will help all of us go home with more gold in our pockets. Pretty neat, I love history. Um, it just gives me such a appreciation for what the old timers did. You know, they didn't have pickup trucks and excavators. They really either had a mule or a dog team and they just went out prospecting, so. I love this part, it's pretty amazing. Here's what I'm looking for. Plaster mines, and they actually talk about Glacier Creek here. The surface gravels on some of the streams have been sluiced in a small way. Gold content was not high enough to warrant profitable exploitation by the simple methods used. Their simple methods probably were old-time equipment, right? It's kind of good news. Means it shows me that there's gold there. They mined it, but they couldn't get deep enough. Which then, opens it up for us with our equipment. We can get down to bedrock. It really encourages me to keep going. So, now we just gotta get after it and start mining. narrator Morning at Glacier Creek. Dave Yeah, the Cottonwood cut's ready to go. Last of the cottonwood trees. Jason's got about 12 hours left, that's it. narrator As Dave clears the new Cottonwood cut, the crew has already sluiced over 2,500 yards of Jason's bedrock pay. Chris We're running more than we've ever ran before. But this property has definitely shown that we're gonna have to run high volume to make any gold here. narrator Jason has just one day left to prove the Pappy cut holds good gold. Jason I'll dig down to the core if there's gold down there. Dave will probably get mad, Jason, why you digging another hole? Trying to get the gold, Dave. laughs Dave I'm learning to, uh, figure Jason out. He wants to do the right things. He hates to make a mistake. But I'm so proud of him for learning and conquering and adapting. I think Jason's gonna make a great mine-boss some day. He's on the way. Jason Whoo-hoo! Yeah, baby. laughs I was three years old when I first came up to see my papa mining. And I always liked it. When I got here, this year, the Dempseys had actually left a little sluice. Let's try it. There we go! Looks like we have enough water to run some dirt. I'm just gonna keep scooping some dirt on, keep rinsing it through. Feel pretty lucky having my grandpa being a gold miner. It's a really cool profession. Dave I just love having Micaiah here. To see my grandson enjoying the Alaska experience and getting gold out of the ground, it's priceless. So for a little bit of gold... Holy crap! That's quite a bit. That's way more than I thought. Yeah, this is awesome. Whoo! Jason Go big or go home, right? I just don't wanna go home without hitting that gold. narrator In Alaska, after a four-day dig to bedrock, Jason's quest to prove the Pappy cut can yield good gold is almost over. I believe that our 600 ounces is sitting down on bedrock. But, you know, I am definitely feeling the pressure, If this fails, it's not just a failure for me, it's a failure for the team as well. narrator Now, his bedrock theory will be put to the ultimate test. Nathan All right, shut her down, boy. It's time to make a call on the Pappy cut, see if it's over with. How's it look, boys? Dave We're onto gold. - Jason See here. - Dave Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah. Dave Oh, yeah, both sides. It's laying on top. Look at that bleep. I think Jason's on it. He's on bedrock. We're onto gold. How's it look? Dave The box is looking really good. Jason That's what I like to hear. Been a grind. Dave Yeah. Jason Hope we did it. Gonna be pretty anxious to see this, uh, outcome. Sluice boxes lie. So gotta wait till I see it on the scale. Yeah, there wasn't much black sand in that one last one, but... Casey Ooh! Hi, guys. Shelly Hey, you. - How you doing? - Shelly Welcome back. Yeah. Dave Come on, give me a hug. - How you doing? - Dave Good to see you, man. narrator After two weeks nursing his wife back home in Arizona... Hey guys! Hey, good to see you guys. - Chris What's up, Morgan? - all laughing narrator ...Casey returns - and ings the crew back to full strength. - What's up, buddy? Welcome back, other. Casey Things at home are a lot better, so it's time for me to come back up and help my other family, mining family. Yeah, I missed you guys but I had to take care of family first. Dave Absolutely. Well, you came back at the right time. We're gonna do a gold weigh tonight. Sweet! Where's my gold? all laughing - Jason About time you did something. - Dave Come over, Casey. So, with that, that gold is at the bottom of the Pappy cut. Let's weigh it up. See what we got! Jason I'm excited. But I'm nervous. Thisbleep is all on me. Shelly You know, guys... narrator With a target of 60 ounces... - Dave You count. - Jason Three. Four. narrator ... it's make or eak for Jason and the Pappy cut. Jason 17. Shelly Oh. - men 27. - Shelly 27. man 1 27. narrator Worth less than $50,000. We're way short. Jason Damn it. That's bad. You know, we hit bedrock all the way down to the pump. It's the most bizarre deposit ever. - The Pappy cut? - Nathan Yeah. - It's done. It's over. - Nathan Yeah. Dave There's no gold at the bottom. It was all in the top gravels. Nathan It was honestly, a waste of time for us. Big waste of time. Jason A 27-ounce cleanup was not what I expected from bedrock. But it gave me an answer. I'm ready to be done with the Pappy cut. It's time to move on to the Cottonwood. Dave I really appreciate you guys, how hard you all worked. But I just feel like time is slipping away. How do I get to 600 ounces? We're not even halfway there. Good news is, I'm looking forward to the next cut. We're moving to the Cottonwood cut. The whole team's back. We can hit our goal here. But, we've gotta really step up our game. Good with that? All in? - Chris All in. - Shelly Guys, let's do it. all All in! Jason It's been a really hard, frustrating week. It sucks for our gold total. So there's quite a bit of pressure right now. But we're moving on to a new cut and hopefully we can milk out his 600 ounces. Super happy to be back, just wanna get back to work. Get as much gold as we can before winter gets here. You know the clock's ticking. mimics car engine starting Dave This week was bad. And it's time you never get back, Am I happy about 27 ounces? Hell no. But, as the leader, you have to, you know, keep your spirits up. - all laughing - Why I love this guy, man. We're moving on to the Cottonwood cut. Future looks good. And I feel good about our goals. narrator On the next episode. It's go time. narrator A new cut. Who's blocking the Cottonwood pay? narrator And old faces. Lance is my partner. He's gonna have some things to say. narrator Turn up the heat on Team Turin. The weak link is the loading. bleep you! I think he ought to stick to his spreadsheet. In an instant, everything changed. narrator But when the going gets tough... Whoa! Whoa! narrator ...the tough get gold. Dave Come on, big money. 5 days of Hacking / Camping / Lectures Join May Contain MCH2022.org
This is the most difficult season I've ever had. But I still believe there's great gold in Alaska waiting to be found. I think we've got virgin ground that's never been mined by the old timers. So I'm gonna come in with this excavator, do a little prospecting and try to figure out where we're gonna go with our next cut. Got a lot riding on this, our season, a lot of money, a lot of gold. What the hell is that? bleep Jason, I wanna show you something. What the heck we got here? An old trommel it looks like. That means it's been mined. Holy bleep. What the hell? Our cut's flooded. What happened? Apparently, the pump didn't get fueled last night. I'm not really sure. What do you mean? Were you down here last night when you walked out of here, you couldn't check it? It was running and I seen the engines fuel it at about 3:30. So, I did not check it. At Glacier Creek, a rookie mistake leaves the Pappy cut unminable, drowning in 4 feet of water. These guys got to start stepping up and I don't know what to do about it. I mean I love these guys but, uh, bleep they can't even fuel their own machines? Everyone here on this mine site is capable of putting fuel in this pump, including me. So, it's everyone to blame. Fire it up, let's go. Well, it's so damn late in the season. So, I got to keep the plant running. It's a damn good thing I was out here till 9.30 at night, scratching and digging all this pay up. It will take at least three hours to drain the cut. So, Jason digs into his stockpile of dry pay. The Pappy cut has been delivering some gold, but we're not here just to have some gold delivered. We need the most bang for our buck. We know that lies right underneath that water right there. The gold always sits closer to the bedrock almost every time. Over the last six weeks, the Pappy cut has been besieged by floods. But Jason's not ready to call it quits until he digs to the deepest potentially richest gold. If we start getting down on bedrock, get that water out of the way. Pappy cut will be paying that real money, that good gold. So, the Pappy cut isn't paying out. We're not anywhere close to our goal. I'm hurting. I've spent a lot of money here and we don't have much money coming in. Problem we're fighting is the water and on top of that, I'm in a predicament right now, uh, without Casey, I don't know how long he's gonna be gone. Last week. He was supposed to back yesterday by 5 o'clock and he never came back. Rock truck driver, Casey Morgan, had to race home to Arizona to be with his wife, Vee, after a near-fatal hiking trip. My wife's missing. I need to get on the first bleep plane out of here. Well, look, right now, we are screwed. We're one man down. And this cut's been a nightmare. After pumping out over 600,000 gallons of water, the cut is finally drained. If this was a normal area, I would just keep widening this pit and I would keep mining all of this. The problem is the larger of an opening I get, the more water that comes in, I can't manage that big of a cut. So, I got to open up another cut. Hey Jason, you got a copy? I wanna talk to you a minute. Yeah. I think we ought to clean up that pit, be done with it and then, I'm gonna open up another cut. I really think that this cut is as big as we can manage. To get to bedrock, Jason benches down the Pappy cut, stripping 6 feet at a time. But every bucket he excavates, removes dirt that would otherwise soak up run-off from the surrounding valley. Now, 30 feet deep and a 150 feet wide the cut is vulnerable to much worse and more frequent flooding. You got to get her done, buddy. TIme to move on. Digging deeper hasn't seen richer gold. So, Dave plans to open a new smaller cut downstream. I get that we've had some bad situations, with pumps and water, but... ...we're still not at the bottom. If that bedrock drops down, it's very likely that gonna be a great pocket, you know, of gold. The amount of time and effort and money that we're spending to get to the bottom, it's just not worth it. Really, it's... It's paying about the same all the way down. Looks like you got four days, that's the way I see it. And by that time, I'll have you another cut on the other side and we we'll manage it better than we managed this one. 10-4, but not happy about it. There's always a fine line of how I manage. I like to empower my guys to make decisions, but I'm the one that has my retirement tied up in this. There's times when I have to make unpopular decisions and choices that, you know, they don't like. There was a group, a mining company, that was doing a testing program and they stopped. Years later, another mining company picks up where they left off. They were 3 feet from hitting a $3 billion strike. I know Dave says we have to move on, but if I can show him good value's down there, I bet we stay. Just 100 yards south. This, to me, is virgin ground. Thick, big trees. Thousand acres that way, there's a thousand acres that way that's never been touched. You know there's got to be gold under there. Tracing a path of the ancient riverbed out of the Pappy cut into a Cottonwood grove, Dave eaks new ground. The old river channel came on this side. So, I'm going to poke a couple holes and see where the gold lives. I just gotta try to figure out where we're going to go with our next cut. Just what we have to do. That Eagle's hungry. Man, what the hell? Across site... That was off plan. A ruck jam shuts down the plant. To stay in the race, for a 60-ounce clean-up this week, the crew can't afford any downtime. I thought there was something caught in there. I thought I ran out of feed real quick. And I was like, it don't make sense. 'Cause I can't see this. What's wrong, Nater? Ah, looks like something in the hopper. Maybe it's clogged up a little bit. Dust and rock or something. Come over here and look. Look in there. That's too full. I thought we ran out of material. That's my fault. Chris has crammed in so much dirt, the conveyors jam up. It's irresponsible. Pretty elementary. Sorry. Chris needs tobleep figure it out. When I keep eaking down, we're not gonna get enough gold to pay the bills. bleep a bleep circus, is what it is. A mother bleep circus. Coming up. I'm not leaving this cut. Get your butt moving, Sanchez. Trying to get the gold, Dave. I think I overfed it, 'cause I couldn't see it. Oh don't make bleep excuses. We just gotta keep this stuff running. At Glacier Creek, Team Turin's new wash plant, the Eagle, is shut down after Chris overfed the hopper. I don't think it's the best idea, but... I would rev it up and turn your speed up. I hope it works out. If the conveyor is pushed too hard, a torn belt would cost Dave thousands of dollars to replace. That's not right. Come on. That going. Pretty simple fix, but this isn't working. We can't continue to do this. Chris... You can't keep making dumb mistakes. But, I am loading blind. I thought it ran out of pay. I came back from lunch and I was like, Oh, God Almighty, and I went up, and whenever I started dumping, I looked, and I was like, Oh, we're full. - God! - Hey, you can't see. He can't see when it's closer. If he fills it to those slots, that's way too much. I thought it was a slot. Let's just cut a little slot right here, just like this. - I could do that. - We could do that, not here. Here, and you keep it at that level. That's easy. Is that good, Chris? Okay with that? It's good. Start it up! We gave Chris some sight holes. He can see in there and he should be able to adjust the level in the feeder. It's the first time that I've ever been told I overfed anything. So now they cut me two little holes out, looking into a black box, looking for black dirt. So, uh, not the easiest thing to do. But I can see the dirt better. - Oh yeah. - Go Chris! It's good. All right, good job, Nate. See you later. The truth is, I don't hide my emotions well. The guys know when I'm stressed. You know, that's my style of leadership. I want them to know what's going on because they're my partners. They really are. Full steam ahead. Time is of the essence. Getting the bedrock? It has to happen. Dave has given Jason just four days to dig to the deepest gold in the Pappy cut and prove its worth. I gotta see where the bottom is or at least see if I can reach it. I think we're really on the right path to some unbelievable gold down there. Holy bleep. Seemed to hit some drabbles underneath this own layer. And now, I gotta pan. I just hope that as we're going down, it's getting better. Hmm. There's nothing in this pan to really speak of. Should be rich as hell. Unless it drops off here and we're not anywhere near the bedrock. For me, it's frustrating because I know there's better gold down there. Problem is... ...what if it's in just another 5 foot. Can't give up, can't stop. We'll find it. I don't know how to quit. My expectations, personally, every year are to do as much as we possibly can to obtain as much gold as we possibly can. If it's really, really great gold, it's gonna be super deep. I'll keep scratching on her. We've fought this hard so far, to get here. I don't want to leave any gold behind. Downstream... Feel like I'm Jason Sanchez, I'm digging a hole, man! Dave hunts for new ground. I just wanna see depths, uh, see what the makeup is. Starting to get into it now, it's pretty deep, there's uh... Actually, it's about 4 foot overburden on this, so I will pull a sample at the top of this gravel zone, and hopefully find some gold. Well, looks like main channel came through here one time. There's been, uh, I can see one, two, three, four, five different layers. Five different distinct zones where, uh, water flows have changed. That's good news. This is the first pan of a potential new kind cut, so. You know, you're always hoping for good gold that's up high, so I don't have to, uh, move a lot of overburden. That's just 3 feet. Then, you got three, four little ones, and then, a decent size right there. That's encouraging. What I found there, it's a good indication there's gold. I know that as you go down, it's going to get better, so at the bottom of that will be bigger gold. And that's our cut. Whoo! Dave must now clear all the trees and vegetation, before his new cut is ready to mine. Hey, Jason. Pushing all these pinewood trees, so I think our new cut's gonna be the Cottonwood Pass. I can see those trees from here. Cottonwood cut it is, I like it! What the hell is that? bleep Jason, I want to show you something. What the heck is out here? I don't know what it is. An old trommel, it looks like. That means it's been mined. That's not good. On the hunt for virgin ground, Dave discovers old mining equipment. I think this was a hydraulic mine thing. It's half of the pipe, and he probably just hydraulic-ed into it, and then out the bottom through those holes, went to a sluice. Hydraulic mining was a technique favored by the Alaskan old-timers. Water cannons washed banks of gold-rich material into a basic handmade sluice. The process was cheap and easy, and is still, sometimes used today. It's not that old, I mean, modern day welding. They got galvanized stuff, they didn't have that till maybe the '40s. I think this was just a really cheap way to mine. That's amazing though, that they were hand working in the '40s. You know, with all the equipment and technology that was advancing. I think it was just somebody came in here and tried to get a quick buck. You know? Dragged that old piece of pipe in here and, you know, tried it. We go below where they mined, we should find a lot of gold. - They never got to see bedrock. - No. Nope. They were in here mining with old-style hand workings. Who knows what's below here? At the wash plant... Oh, it's been a week now, and Casey's been home. So, it's been kind of rough, you know, I've been running the whole truck around and trying to do two or three jobs at once. With Casey off-site, Nate, Chris, and Andrew have to work overtime just to keep the Eagle running. As long as they keep inging the material to us, I'll keep putting rocks in the box. Hey, shut it down, shut it down. What's going on? We got a grizzly squawking around. I think thebleep grizzly's loose. See that? Loose. The grizzly box bolts to the main shaker box and these bolts that go through here, that actually hold it up against there, came loose. The Eagle's grizzly bars bolt to the shaker box that vi ates to prevent larger rocks slipping inside. A constant vi ation has loosened the bolts, and left the Eagle unable to process the pay. So, we'll just tighten 'em all up real quick, go to the other end and tighten the bleep out of them. And, fire it back up, man. All right. Dave, we're gonna fire it up real quick. Damn it! It vi ates so aggressive, that it is basically beats itself to death. And, it don't take no time. I mean no time. I mean, five minutes... She done and it comes loose, no matter what. It's the nature of a frickin' screen, man. They wanna tear themselves apart. They just tightened them, and then, they just came loose. Loose. Loose. That's a stout piece of steel. Um, if a guy can get a... ...A damn good weld here, it ain't going anywhere. It's all held together with nuts and bolts. You weld them in, then you're done. You'll never tighten it up again. That's frustrating. It was running so good, and then... It's always something. Hi, babe. Got you some food. Oh, awesome. 10 days ago, Casey had to return home to Arizona to look after his wife, Vee. - She's looking for a treat. - She is. Who the hell gets a call that their wife disappeared in the Grand Canyon? I did. It was the most devastating thing I've ever gone through. My other called me to see if I wanted to go hike the Grand Canyon, and I'm always down for new adventure. We started our descent down and all of a sudden my other started cramping, and he asked me to get help. So, I started hiking back and I realized that I was off track. So, I slept there overnight, and as soon as the sun came up, made it to the top and I waved down a bus driver. It took 'em two more days to find my other. I thought he was not gonna make it. I'm glad you're okay. And, I'm glad you're here. I need you. I don't know if I want you to go back. To be honest. It was super, super hard being away from my wife and son. This is a lot of seasons of me being gone. It beats up on her, and I'm not there to help. Let's show 'em what you're building. Come on. If you're going to be in this gold mining game, you're going to pay a price. And, you have to decide when that price is too high to pay. - Bam! - Good job. Hey, let's go check on Mom, okay? My wife's gone through a pretty traumatic event. And, right now I'm not sure I'm gonna go back to Alaska. I'm not leaving this cut until I punch down and I see what's down there. With the Eagle down and with just three days left until Dave pulls the plug on the Pappy cut, Jason targets a 20 square foot section of ground to fight down to bedrock. I'm trying to get through this as quick as possible. That way I can dig and see if... ...I'm gonna have to ask for more time in this cut. Gold fever is when you start making decisions that make absolutely no sense. And, you start running off of instincts and gut feelings of something that's in the ground that you can't see. There's a grilled cheese sandwich of gold sitting down there. I just gotta get to it. Now is that bedrock or frickin' boulders? Yep, that's bedrock. Whoo! This is one of those things where... When your job is to find the gold, stay on the gold and chase the gold, you gotta know what's at the bottom. You don't give up till you see the bottom or the boss man says, No offence, but you're done. We got one piece and a bunch of fines. Hey, Nater! Look how round, like, how thick this one is. I wanted to see that thick, coarser, nuggety-looking gold. In the first pan, to grab something, have a little thicker, little bit of that bedrock gold look. I'm pretty confident. We'll send it to the burner pay. Let's go. Yeah! That's what we've been saying all along. Good gold should be down on bedrock. Now, Jason must send as much bedrock pay to the plant as he can, before this week's gold weigh. Now, I'm feeling pretty optimistic. The particle size was... It was decent. I know there's good gold down there. At least I think there is. Damn, I hope I'm right. This is, uh, Alaska weather at its best, right here. A violent thunderstorm sweeps through Glacier Creek at the worst possible time. These eakdowns are costly. Every minute you're not sluicing, you're losing money. The wash plant's been out of action for two hours. Dave has no choice. He must weld the bolts to the grizzly bars in the middle of the downpour. I've got to tighten it down as tight as we can get it. And then, we will weld it. Problem is that it's raining. Welding in the rain can be difficult at times. But, we'll put a tarp over us, and then weld it. That's all we can do. bleep That electricity and water don't mix very well. You're welding up there, you get zingered, and you go, Zzzt! Zingered! bleep Well, I could wait for better weather, but I'm running out of time on this claim. Always moving. Hey, Nate! Think we're set. Welded up. Bolted up tight. Just hope and pray it holds. Okay Chris, load it up. We're ready to go. Oh, Lord, please let this thing stay together. That's the sound I wanna hear. Grizzly sounds good. Eagle's running. Eagle's flying again. Back in business. It's a wet, nasty day, but we're making gold. Now, the Eagle is back running. There's evidence that the Cottonwood cut had been mined by the old timers. And, I don't think it's been mined very deep. But, I wanna make sure. Dave heads to Valdez to search for more clues of historical mining at the Cottonwood cut. I love to go into the archives, li aries and museums and find out who's mined here before. Any information I can gather will help all of us go home with more gold in our pockets. Pretty neat, I love history. Um, it just gives me such a appreciation for what the old timers did. You know, they didn't have pickup trucks and excavators. They really either had a mule or a dog team and they just went out prospecting, so. I love this part, it's pretty amazing. Here's what I'm looking for. Plaster mines, and they actually talk about Glacier Creek here. The surface gravels on some of the streams have been sluiced in a small way. Gold content was not high enough to warrant profitable exploitation by the simple methods used. Their simple methods probably were old-time equipment, right? It's kind of good news. Means it shows me that there's gold there. They mined it, but they couldn't get deep enough. Which then, opens it up for us with our equipment. We can get down to bedrock. It really encourages me to keep going. So, now we just gotta get after it and start mining. Morning at Glacier Creek. Yeah, the Cottonwood cut's ready to go. Last of the cottonwood trees. Jason's got about 12 hours left, that's it. As Dave clears the new Cottonwood cut, the crew has already sluiced over 2,500 yards of Jason's bedrock pay. We're running more than we've ever ran before. But this property has definitely shown that we're gonna have to run high volume to make any gold here. Jason has just one day left to prove the Pappy cut holds good gold. I'll dig down to the core if there's gold down there. Dave will probably get mad, Jason, why you digging another hole? Trying to get the gold, Dave. I'm learning to, uh, figure Jason out. He wants to do the right things. He hates to make a mistake. But I'm so proud of him for learning and conquering and adapting. I think Jason's gonna make a great mine-boss some day. He's on the way. Whoo-hoo! Yeah, baby. I was three years old when I first came up to see my papa mining. And I always liked it. When I got here, this year, the Dempseys had actually left a little sluice. Let's try it. There we go! Looks like we have enough water to run some dirt. I'm just gonna keep scooping some dirt on, keep rinsing it through. Feel pretty lucky having my grandpa being a gold miner. It's a really cool profession. I just love having Micaiah here. To see my grandson enjoying the Alaska experience and getting gold out of the ground, it's priceless. So for a little bit of gold... Holy crap! That's quite a bit. That's way more than I thought. Yeah, this is awesome. Whoo! Go big or go home, right? I just don't wanna go home without hitting that gold. In Alaska, after a four-day dig to bedrock, Jason's quest to prove the Pappy cut can yield good gold is almost over. I believe that our 600 ounces is sitting down on bedrock. But, you know, I am definitely feeling the pressure, If this fails, it's not just a failure for me, it's a failure for the team as well. Now, his bedrock theory will be put to the ultimate test. All right, shut her down, boy. It's time to make a call on the Pappy cut, see if it's over with. How's it look, boys? We're onto gold. - See here. - Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, both sides. It's laying on top. Look at that bleep. I think Jason's on it. He's on bedrock. We're onto gold. How's it look? The box is looking really good. That's what I like to hear. Been a grind. Yeah. Hope we did it. Gonna be pretty anxious to see this, uh, outcome. Sluice boxes lie. So gotta wait till I see it on the scale. Yeah, there wasn't much black sand in that one last one, but... Ooh! Hi, guys. Hey, you. - How you doing? - Welcome back. Yeah. Come on, give me a hug. - How you doing? - Good to see you, man. After two weeks nursing his wife back home in Arizona... Hey guys! Hey, good to see you guys. What's up, Morgan? ...Casey returns - and ings the crew back to full strength. - What's up, buddy? Welcome back, other. Things at home are a lot better, so it's time for me to come back up and help my other family, mining family. Yeah, I missed you guys but I had to take care of family first. Absolutely. Well, you came back at the right time. We're gonna do a gold weigh tonight. Sweet! Where's my gold? - About time you did something. - Come over, Casey. So, with that, that gold is at the bottom of the Pappy cut. Let's weigh it up. See what we got! I'm excited. But I'm nervous. Thisbleep is all on me. You know, guys... With a target of 60 ounces... - You count. - Three. Four. ... it's make or eak for Jason and the Pappy cut. 17. Oh. - 27. - 27. 27. Worth less than $50,000. We're way short. Damn it. That's bad. You know, we hit bedrock all the way down to the pump. It's the most bizarre deposit ever. - The Pappy cut? - Yeah. - It's done. It's over. - Yeah. There's no gold at the bottom. It was all in the top gravels. It was honestly, a waste of time for us. Big waste of time. A 27-ounce cleanup was not what I expected from bedrock. But it gave me an answer. I'm ready to be done with the Pappy cut. It's time to move on to the Cottonwood. I really appreciate you guys, how hard you all worked. But I just feel like time is slipping away. How do I get to 600 ounces? We're not even halfway there. Good news is, I'm looking forward to the next cut. We're moving to the Cottonwood cut. The whole team's back. We can hit our goal here. But, we've gotta really step up our game. Good with that? All in? - All in. - Guys, let's do it. All in! It's been a really hard, frustrating week. It sucks for our gold total. So there's quite a bit of pressure right now. But we're moving on to a new cut and hopefully we can milk out his 600 ounces. Super happy to be back, just wanna get back to work. Get as much gold as we can before winter gets here. You know the clock's ticking. This week was bad. And it's time you never get back, Am I happy about 27 ounces? Hell no. But, as the leader, you have to, you know, keep your spirits up. Why I love this guy, man. We're moving on to the Cottonwood cut. Future looks good. And I feel good about our goals. On the next episode. It's go time. A new cut. Who's blocking the Cottonwood pay? And old faces. Lance is my partner. He's gonna have some things to say. Turn up the heat on Team Turin. The weak link is the loading. bleep you! I think he ought to stick to his spreadsheet. In an instant, everything changed. But when the going gets tough... Whoa! Whoa! ...the tough get gold. Come on, big money.
Oh, Minto, it's you. I was looking for some dull admiralty official. Yeah, and the guard of honour, and your usual crowd. Yes. And you better have a pretty good reason for landing me like a smuggler in this little hole. We're off, Nelson. Best respects, my lord. Aye-aye. Pack it on. Stand by. Give way together. And you cannot fool crowds, especially not English ones. They'll find out that I've landed, head straight for London. Aye, my lord. You have changes of horses? - Yep. - Good. We're due at the admiralty in the morning. Now, why the secrecy? Because if we'd landed you among a crowd, and the word had spread that you were back in England after two years and no longer out there keeping the French away, we might have started to panic. Well, I must say you haven't the air of a man who's dying. Oh, by your own reports, of every illness known to medicine. Well, I had to exaggerate a little. I have a fever of the blood. You more than most people know its name. Aye, I know its name. Everyone in Europe knows its name, but after a couple of years absence from the lady, I thought, well, some of us thought... every second of every minute of that two years absence from Emma Hamilton has been a torment. You could tell that to the admiralty. I'll tell them myself. I'm not wearing this damn thing on shore. And besides, Emma hates it. How is it? Where would she be waiting for me, in London? No, she's at Merton, preparing for your arrival as befits the mistress of the household. A small detour from this road will come to Merton. It won't take long. It will take two hours. Well, two hours, is it? And 12 hours more after that. No, I've promised to deliver you straight to the admiralty, and straight to the admiralty I shall deliver you. Lord Nelson, it is my present duty to extend to you the lords of the admiralty's firm in thanks, and heartfelt congratulations on your most recent operations. After an unremitting cruises of two long years in the stormy seas off Toulon, to have proceeded without going into port to Alexandria from the west Indies, back again to Gi altar, to have kept your ships afloat, your rigging standing... barely. Yes, quite so. You have protected England for two long years, and have saved the west Indies by only a few days. I think there was some more, but I've seemed to have misplaced the other sheet. Which is just as well, perhaps, since my idiocy in chasing violence across the Atlantic and back could have put Bonaparte on the throne of England. But it didn't, lord Nelson, all thanks to your name. Did he know my name? You must know that he did. I like you. They said I wouldn't, but I do. Where is violence now? At Ferrol. Collingwood's latest dispatch gives it that Villeneuve's about to sail. He won't do that. Bonaparte is no seaman, but he's not mad. Villeneuve will stay in Ferrol. And that is your estimation, lord Nelson? It's the estimation of a humble flag officer, but I'll have a Guinea on it, if you're a betting man. And how long do you think he will stay at Ferrol? Long enough to give me a fair leave. Lord Barham, I've come home to beg you and their lordships to give me some months' rest from battle. Did you say months? Yes, I did. There's a promise that I've made a certain lady from whom I've been wholly separated for two years, and who is happy to have me home. Yes, yes, I see. Well, now that the immediate danger of invasion is past, you can of course take some few weeks. God knows you deserve that, my lord. And perhaps after that, her ladyship may relent. I doubt it, my lord. In a matter of being separated from me, her ladyship is not a very relenting person. Perhaps if I wrote to her myself. Remind me, would you Minto, to write to lady Nelson? I think it was to another ladyship that lord Nelson was referring. Oh, yes. I'm very sorry, my lord. Nevertheless, I trust lady Nelson is well. I haven't the faintest idea. She now lives in bath, I believe, where the waters no doubt will help her various infirmities, real and imagined. Now, if we've finished our business, I'd like to take my leave. By all means. Can I have your promise that, only if Villeneuve sails north, will you call on my services within the next few months? You have that promise. And you've accepted my Guinea bet that anyway, he won't come out of Ferrol? Shall we make it five? Done. Lady Nelson, a most present surprise. I'd almost thought you'd given up taking our orders. Thank you, Mr. Long. Very good, please, for the viscountess Nelson. Yes, we're all mentioned. Lord Nelson has invited all the members of his family to stay with him at Merton. Among the residents of bath, so honoured are Mr. and Mrs... George, don't look to your right. I wasn't looking to my right, I was reading. It's her. It's tomtit. How dare she come to the pamplum in the afternoon? Well, it's free. Oh, she saw that. So did the whole pamplum. Go on reading. Ah, yes. Who leave on their joyous expedition to London tomorrow morning. Their young son, George Matcham Jr., nephew to lord Nelson, who must surely count himself the most fortunate boy in England, leaves next Saturday to join them. You smiled at tomtit. She smiled first. I've told you and told you about that. God knows it's hard enough that we should all be living together in the same small town. But whenever you meet her, George, what you must do is to treat her as if she didn't exist. I hope you do consider yourself the most fortunate boy in all of England. Oh yes, I do. Will lady Hamilton be at clergy street? I don't know, dear. Will he be at clergy street? No. You see, George, for him to stay with her at clergy street would hardly be proper. But she stays at Merton. Merton is your uncle's residence. Lady Hamilton stays there as his guest. Well, why can't he stay at clergy street? That's her guest. Don't speak with your mouth full, dear. Sorry. Well, why can't he? And don't ask foolish questions, either. Father, can you tell me? No, frankly, George, I can't. Since they live openly together at Merton... oh, don't call it that. What, openly or together? Together. George might get quite the wrong impression. Together implies something. It implies together. That's how they live. I'll explain it all to you later, George. We must go now. Yes, mum. Hmm. Now, pass your exams tomorrow. If not, the headmaster might not let you come. What would you do then, eh? I'd kill him. Now remember, George, to be on your best behaviour when you come to Merton. You're not scared, are you? Oh, no, not of him. But I will be of her, I think. Well, you needn't be. She's the most lovable soul alive. Is she not, my dear? Lovable is an accurate enough description of a lady who, in her day, has been greatly loved. And who is now undoubtedly loved by our host. Thank you. It is much more than just love. What can be more than just love? Oh, something altogether higher, nothing gross or physical. Something, well, ethereal. Ethereal? Of the ether. The air, spiritual, not of the flesh at all. Come along, clear, or we'll be late. Joseph. Goodbye, George. Goodbye. Be a good boy. Hello, master George. Hello, Emily. You've grown. Have I? I'm awfully sorry, Emily, but I'm not supposed to speak to you. Mother's ordered. Well, I can't be doing with that. Come along, master George. Thank you for coming, George. Please sit down. I thank your ladyship, but I would rather stand. I won't insist, but if you could call me aunt Frances, as in the old days, it might make our talk less formal. Yes, aunt Frances. You're growing fast, George. When I saw you this afternoon, I hardly recognised you. But still, it has been six years. By the way, thank you for smiling at me. Well, I shouldn't have, because my mother said I... oh, I saw you getting a tongue lashing from your mother afterwards. Yes, I am sorry about that. But I have a little present for you here, to make up for it. Six pounds? Remember, I gave you no Christmas present these past six years. Go on, take it. What do you want me to do for it? When you come back from Merton, I should like you to write me a letter, telling me everything, every smallest thing about my lord. How he is, how he looks, everything he says to you that you can remember. That's all. That's not much, is it? Isn't that a bit like spying? I only want news of my husband. Is that so wicked? And about lady Hamilton? No, no, no, this is not about lady Hamilton. In fact, George, I forbid you to write one word about lady Hamilton. Good. Now, I want to know especially, how is his good eye? Does he still get those terrible headaches? And is his arm less painful? And the cough that was so terrible. He may not even talk to me, because I've only seen him twice in my life, and that was when I was small. Oh, he'll talk to you, George. He loves young people, and a kinder... a gentler man never lived. Of course, if you could let slip that I should be overjoyed to see him again. Oh, not to talk, you understand. It displeases him. Oh dear, I forget how I began this sentence. It's a bad habit, George. I mustn't keep you. Goodbye, aunt Frances. Anything at all about him, anything. No matter how trivial it may seem to you, it won't seem so to me. What did you do? What does your mother say I did? She won't tell me. But she says it was very bad. Perhaps it was. Well, what was it? I made him choose. Well, that's not bad. It was bad for him. Now, let's change the subject. Tell me, why do they now call me tomtit? - Don't you know? - No. It's the way you walk. The way I walk? Like the bird, you know. How funny, I never thought... Well, show me how I walk. No. Please go on. Show me how they imitate me in the family. My old, rheumaticy legs. Most birdlike, I see. I never guessed it was my walk. Is there, is there anything you want? Shall I call Emily? Forgive me George, forget it. Do you ever write to him? The last time I wrote to him was at Christmas four years ago. He sent the letter back to me marked, opened by mistake by lord Nelson, but not read. But that's something sort of dishonourable, and that's not possible. I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that. That opens the right hand compartment of the desk over there. There's only one letter in it. Take it out and look at the cover. Oh no, George, no, don't. Oh, please. Don't read the letter itself. I'm sorry, but I've just got to. You see, he's my uncle, you see, and he's Nelson. Is this all? There wasn't another sheet with a postscript, saying that lady Hamilton's a whore or something? No, dear George. How fond I could have been of you, had I only been allowed to. No, there was no postscript about lady Hamilton. And there would've been a little point in reminding him of the profession unkind people say she once followed. You're not trying to get me to believe that lady Hamilton was, was... I don't think anyone says lady Hamilton is a whore now. It would be good to think she were. Unhappily, I do not. No, there was no other sheet. Lady Hamilton must have recognised your writing and opened it. Of course, that's it. She opened it and read it, and then told lord Nelson that it was a horrible letter, which he mustn't read. So then he sent it back to you. That's how it must have been. Don't you think? Dear George, I'm sure that's exactly how it must have been. Now put the letter back in the compartment, lock it, and give me the key. Why don't I take it down to give to him? You'll certainly do no such thing. Well, I'd hate it if anyone thought uncle Horatio was capable of such a cruel and dishonourable thing as to send back a Christmas letter to a... I really think I ought to show it to him. Now forget about it, George. And just remember him as the kind of man he really is, as I do. Goodbye, George. It was good to see you again. My respects, my lady. And mine to you, sir. - Good luck. - Thank you. Good morning. Good morning. I believe I'm expected. I'm master Matcham. Oh, yes. Come in, come in. Lord Nelson out now, but I tell lady Hamilton you here, eh? You wait here. Eccellenza. Master Matcham downstairs. You must dress. Not yet, you silly cow. I've only had three hours sleep. So many? Three's more than he's giving you every night since he come back. How many times? Oh, I can't remember. There was one. Seven, I think. Another year and he would've burst, pop. Come, cognac? I tell you, Eccellenza, one night he'll die of it. He'll die of it? For you, Eccellenza, 70 times seven and still not die. You are an impertinent cow, and I don't know why I bother to keep you. Who'd you say was downstairs? Younger boy, master Matcham. Young George Matcham? Yes. He's never set eyes upon me in his life before, and I'm in this state. Oh, Christ. There's a lot of work to be done. Lady Hamilton will see you in her bed. Come. Her bed? No, no. She received many gentlemen in her bed. Many, much bigger gentlemen. No, but you see, I, I, I... Um... My dearest little George Matcham. Come here, let me give you a kiss. My, aren't you handsome? There's even a touch of my Nelson about you. In five years, I'll make him jealous of you. Well, it's a joke, George. Oh, all the world knows there's only one Nelson for me, and that's my Nelson. Aye, Francesca? At seven times a night. You must forgive Francesca, George, she's from Naples, where, as you know, my late dear husband William was our ambassador. God rest his soul. Oh, bugger it, all over the bed. What was I saying? I think it was something about your maid. Oh yes, Francesca. She's a Neapolitan. And her manners at times are a trifle peasant-like. Ooh. This is a medicament, prescribed by my doctors for plaguing migraine. It affects me in the morning, from time to time. What's in it? A variety of ingredients. All of the most efficacious, I do assure you. Ahh. There, I feel better already. I'm so glad. Dear little George Matcham, aren't you happy to be the nephew of such a great man? Yes, I am. Great Jove himself, immortal of all the immortals. Hold me up, you silly cow. You no eat nothing. I ing you some perca pie, yes? Oh, I don't know what my stomach will hold this morning. Might toy with a piece of cold mutton. To bit, Eccellenza. Eccellenza means excellency, George, which of course in Naples is what I was. And to the queen of Naples I was, guess what? Carissima Mia, beloved friend. And so she was to me, George. And so she was. Do you know she would sometimes do me the honour of asking me to share her bed? And the king, he did me much honour, too. Of course, not quite in the same way. Jesus. It's a Neapolitan phrase, George. They make much use of our lord's name, and of the blessed virgin, too. Of course, to our ears it may sound a little common, but one soon gets used to it. As an ambassadress, one has to. Ooh, I think I must have drunk my medicine too first. Yes, who is it? Is your ladyship visible? Minto. Come in, come in. Good morning, my dear. Visible to you at any time. Are you holding a levee? At least I've risen. This is young George Matcham, my lord Nelson's nephew. Oh, young master Matcham, your servant, sir. And this, George, is lord Minto, your uncle's dearest friend. My lord. My Nelson vows he loves Minto most of all persons in the world, second only to me, aye, Minto? A very poor second for the competition provided by your ladyship is, to say the least, large. Oh, you'd like me thin as a wraith, aye, Minto? A flag pole. Perhaps you think my Nelson would prefer me so, that he could more easily run up his flag? Well, let me tell you. His flag does quite well enough as it is, thank you very much. Last night, it was nailed to the mast at no surrender, and the signals all at close action. Oh dear, little George. Little George, would you like to run down to my morning room while I dress? Yes, my lady. Don't call me my lady. What shall I call you? Aunt Emma, of course. What else? That is what I am in the sight of god. Yes, aunt Emma. Come here, give me a kiss. Yes, aunt Emma. Ah, little Georgie. There. Oh, leave all that. Help me find something to wear that won't make me look like a curate's ass. Oh, what a sweet boy. I vow I love him already. I know he loves me. My bet, lord Barham. I still don't understand what madness made the fellow leave Ferrol for Cadiz of all places. Is it madness to combine with the Spanish, and make a battle fleet far larger than anything we could ing against him? Reinforce Collingwood at once, with every seaworthy vessel your lordships can dispose of. Collingwood, my lord? You said Collingwood? Yes. You haven't relieved him of his command, have you? Oh, we propose to. Lord Nelson, you are here at our invitation, to be offered the supreme command yourself. My lords, I'm deeply honoured. What did he say? He says he's deeply honoured. I must nevertheless refuse, as the first lord should've told you I must. How so, my lord? Because you made me a solemn promise that only if Villeneuve sailed north would you call on my services. Well, that promise was given before the present situation was known. It was nevertheless a promise. And on account of it, I gave the same promise to a certain lady. If your lordships have any further business with me, you'll find me at Merton, at least for the next few weeks. Oh, come on, Minto, don't just sit there. Pull for the shore, is it? Right. Where were you last night? The court ball, I suppose. Yes, yes. I was surprised not to see you there. That's a poxy lie, you knew we wouldn't be asked. Oh, an oversight, surely. An oversight, my ass. They won't have us at any price. I don't mind for myself. I do mind for him. Two years away, the west Indies saved, not so much as a shipped biscuit at the palace. It's all because of me. Still, it'll take more than a snub from those Hanovers to separate us. And it will take more than all you meddling politicians, too. Meddling, my lady? You think I don't know what goes on in your lords and commons? How the devil can we separate Nelson from that Hamilton bitch? Well, it won't work. Do you hear? There's not one of you who can separate us this time. He has given me his promise, and that is that. I can't wear that thing. It makes me look like an ageing governess eight months gone. Try the orange silk. Well, what do you say? Oh, I'm sure the orange silk would go perfectly... oh, rig the orange silk. I am talking about the conspiracy by the admiralty to send my Nelson out to Cadiz again. And don't try and tell me that you and your precious politicians haven't had a hand in that. Damn you, you all try to separate us. Not I, my lady. Why can none of you understand? England needs a live, healthy Nelson, not a Nelson oken and sick and half-dead from longing. That Hamilton bitch. Perhaps I am. But I'm the woman he wants and who can make him happy. Oh, Neapolitan ape, the one with the frills with less up here. They all like a bit of titty fill out. That you have enemies in certain circles, I know. But never count me among them. Oh, you disapprove, too. I neither approve or disapprove. I accept. Au revoir, master Matcham, I shall be seeing you at Merton? Yes, my lord. Good. Master Matcham, you have about you a certain look. Before you arrive at Merton, you'd do well to remove it. It will not be popular there. What look, my lord? It's a look of shock, master Matcham, and is not uncommon among those friends of lord Nelson who meet lady Hamilton for the first time. But remove it, sir, I beg you. Your uncle will not like it. Are you fond of lady Hamilton? You seem, master Matcham, to have inherited your uncle's flare for surprise attacks. I'm sorry. No, don't be. I always tell the truth, except when I need to tell a lie. Yes, I am fond of Emma Hamilton. She's a very generous, good-hearted lady. Loyal, passionate, and kind. You'd better have some wine. You still have that look. No, thank you. But if you could, but if you could only explain... Explain what? Oh, it doesn't matter. Well, I think it does matter, to you and to some hundreds of thousands in this land. You want to know what your uncle sees in lady Hamilton to love her so passionately, is that it? He sees that. Oh, he can't. He can, and he does. Master Matcham, let me just tell you this, as adult to adolescent. That question, what does one person see in another person? Has been asked since the beginning of time, and will be asked to the end of it. And dear, young master Matcham, there is never, never any answer. But what about his honour? Well, that's not a word I'm accustomed to use, as I never really know what it means. It would appear that you've been seeing your aunt Frances in bath. How did you know? Oh, when people start talking about honour, it usually means they've done something they're ashamed of themselves. Have you been seeing your late aunt? She's not late. She's alive and that's the trouble. Master Matcham, you have the gift for telling a profound truth with a minimum of verbiage. Therefore, and thank god for it, you'll have no future in politics. Your aunt Frances is still alive. Tell me, when you saw her, were there any tears? She cried the way I've never seen anyone cry before in my whole life. Not a grown up, that is. She cried from deep, deep down in herself. It was terrible. And I'll never forget it as long as I live. You must forget it, master Matcham, for your own good and everyone else's. In fact, I urge you to obliterate the incident utterly from your touching, but as yet undeveloped mind. Forget it, master Matcham. I declare, look at that crowd! Free Nelson! Minto, you rat. Don't desert me, come and rescue me. And be killed for my pains? Anyway, since when did Nelson want rescuing? You are a cowardly, treacherous speechmaker. Close the door, John. Have you kept your promise? Did you doubt me? That poxy admiralty, I always doubt you. Did you tell them you wouldn't go out again? Yes, my love. And I've so displeased their lordships that perhaps I'll never be asked to go out again. Let it be never again. Oh, you don't mean that. I do. I do. I do. Oh, there's little George. It's George Matcham, your nephew. Come out of there. Oh, George Matcham. Well, I haven't seen you for a long time. Hello, uncle. Hello, nephew. Well, you've grown so much I didn't recognise you. Emma, pray attend to your attire. Oh, you're such a prude, Nelson. The people out there have seen me stark naked in their day, and they love it. These crowds are a confounded nuisance, George, and I sometimes long to walk in London unrecognised. Perhaps, uncle Horatio, if you didn't wear all those, um, stars and decorations... He got you there, Nelson. George is right. Vanity is my traitor. Oh no, I didn't, I didn't mean that. Yes, you did. I may be vain in such matters, but dammit, I'd like people to know what I've done. Yes. Here comes Hardy. Not as soul's recognising him. He's not getting so much as a pat on the back. Your flag captain? Yes. Emma, I do think that your state of undress is not... oh, I know, I know. Dressed or undressed, Hardy thinks I'm the whore of Babylon. All right, John. It's captain Hardy. Hardy. Welcome home, your lordship. This is my nephew, George Matcham. Captain Hardy, my right hand man. Master Matcham? Come in here. Wouldn't you rather be alone? No. You've come from the admiralty? Yes. Is the news true? Yes. Well, when does the victory sail? I don't doubt, captain, that you'll get your orders to sail the victory south in a few days to join admiral Collingwood's command. Yes, my lord. Excuse me. I have to go to her ladyship. Forgive me, master Matcham. I've never cared for French wine. I prefer rum. Wouldn't you know it? There isn't any. What kind of an admiral's lady, is it, that doesn't keep rum? Nothing but foreign muck. Oh, here's something. Gin. A whore's drink. In the circumstances, quite suitable, don't you think? How long have you been his flag captain? Six years, on and off. More on than off, thank god. Now it appears to be off. But you must know him as well as anyone alive, then. Oh yes, I suppose I do. Well, let's say I know the man at sea. The man ashore, that seems a different matter. In your view, captain Hardy, is a man called great for what he is, or for what he does? I mean, uh, taking Arthur, for instance... you mean take your uncle, don't you? Your uncle is great, both in what he is and what he does. How could he have done what he has done without being what he is? You mean winning battles? I mean far more than winning battles. Every schoolboy knows exactly how the Nile and Copenhagen were won. But does every schoolboy know what they were won with? Surely we have better ships than the French. No sir, certainly not, but they are better handled. Yet what kind of men are they handled by? Four-fifths of them have been pressed, kidnapped, knocked on the head, and thrown aboard a manor wall to face a utal and degrading slavery, which they must submit to or bear their backs to the cat of nine tails. But at the Nile, the seamen drank to Nelson. Yes sir, to Nelson. And that is my point. I see. He's made these mutinous dogs love him. They beg to serve in any squadron he commands and cry like women when they hear he's wounded. Could he have done that if he hadn't been great in what he is, as well as in what he's done? It's so difficult. Perhaps I expect a perfect hero to be a perfect Saint. Perhaps we all do. Well, England has no need of a Saint at this hour of her history, master Matcham. But she has very dire need of a hero. Your health, sir. You're not ready yet, my love? Very nearly, my dearest. You know I always want to look my best for you, and that takes time. The carriage is at the door? Are the servants in the hall? Si. Then tell them to open the doors as a signal to the crowd. You leave Cleopatra no shades. Emma. Oh, no more of that. I'm too arranged. They must be coming down. Ah, captain Hardy, what honour you do to my house. It is I who have that honour, lady Hamilton. You see how popular you have become? I am hardly known to them, my lady. No, but you should be, and no doubt one day will be. All about my Nelson will be known. Now, you and little George will go in the second carriage, lord Nelson and I naturally in the first. Pray leave a little distance between us. The crowd prefer it so. Um, may I go and watch, aunt Emma? Yes, of course, little George. Don't she look a sight for a widow in mourning? Go find her, good doggy. Follow your mistress. Hooray for Nelson! Hurrah! They laughed. Did they? Yeah, they laughed. You must have heard, they laughed at Nelson. With lady Hamilton. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to tell you that her ladyship has consented to give us one of her little entertainments, tonight after dinner. Ah. Oh, one of your attitudes, dearest Emma? Cleopatra mourning Antony. Dear other Nelson has written some words to go with Shakespeare's version. I have composed the music myself. It's all quite new. So as you can well imagine, I'll be as nervous as a pregnant nun. So perhaps if you'd all be good enough to muster in the drawing room at about seven for dinner. Muster? You make it sound like a bloody warship. Oh, it is so good to be here at paradise Merton. Our home for eternity, aye, Nelson? I was thinking of something a little longer than eternity. Oh, you should have seen it last year and the year before. Why did I have to fall in love with a sailor? Well, at least not one with a wife in every port. Wait, together. Heave. Well, really, the world's greatest sailor, and what do you do? Well, I could hardly have wished for myself how happy I should be. Still, exactly which is starboard and which is larboard? Well, that depends on which way the captain is facing. Oh, you. What hour exactly did you order us to muster? Seven. Emma, if you could perhaps tonight be closer to the time, the last two hours. I'm glad that he's well. Thank you, my lord. Francesca! Good evening. Ah, Minto. Oh, I don't believe you've met captain Blackwood. Captain Blackwood is the captain of the frigate Euryalus, which sails tomorrow to join Collingwood off Cadiz. I wish you a fair wind, captain. I suppose they'll make Collingwood an Earl after he fights your battle. Will you grudge him it? Can make him ass licker and ordinary to the king, saving your cloth, reverend, so long as I could keep my Nelson here with me. Which I intend to do, despite the underhand work of some who call him friend. I am so looking forward, lady Hamilton, to seeing your C... C... Cleopatra. It is my favourite part. But of course. Emma Hamilton would have as her favourite that lass unparallelled. Thank you, Minto. I will accept unparallelled at any hour, and after seven I'll even accept lass. Here's to my Antony. His legs bestride oceans, in whose livery wore crowns and crownets. In that piece of Shakespeare, I think that her ladyship of Egypt exaggerated somewhat. This ladyship of England exaggerates nothing. When she looks upon her great pillar of the world, she sees great Jove himself. Hey, little George. It's a wonder she can see anything at all. I heard that, captain Hardy. This is my house. And if I choose to toast the guest who ings such honour to its roof in what, to your puritan mind, may seem a glass too many of Brandy, I think that is my affair, not yours, don't you? I do, my lady, indeed. It was only that my puritan mind hadn't perhaps quite grasped the fact that this was your ladyship's house. Merton is our house, Hardy, your house, and everybody who visits it. And it's certainly Emma's. Most of all, it is Emma's. Then if it is my house, tell that bugger to get out of it and never come back. Captain Hardy only meant... I know what captain Hardy meant, and so does he. He meant that I am not your wife by virtue of mother church. Well, a pox on mother church. I am by everything that this world holds just and honourable the true and only wife of this man here. Emma, please stop. To everyone who comes to this house. To my lord's family, huh? To my lord's friends, to my lord's servants. In fact, to the whole of England, I, Emma Hamilton, am the only wife of lord Nelson. Excepting, I would suppose, to lady Nelson. Hardy, that was unforgivable. I shall leave. No. Hardy, you will not leave, I command it. Tell him to get out of this house now and never come back, I command you. You command me in most things, Emma, but not in that. Oh, indeed. Then perhaps, it is I who should leave your lordship's house. Francesca, send for my carriage at once. Dinner is served, my lady. Emma, will you lead us in? May I have the honour, my dear? I'd like you to sit here. Oh, sit where you'd like. Sit where you'd like. Hardy, another two ships there. Right here, gentlemen, is your battle of annihilation, our two squadrons. Isolate here and here, and destroy. That's the suggested plan of battle, Blackwood, that your frigate will carry tomorrow to admiral Collingwood. I'm indeed most... yes, yes. Nothing less than total destruction. We must have those Frenchies in the lines stranded there forever, and Bonaparte staring at the Dover cliffs in a high old imperial rage. Bravo, great Nelson. The immortal himself has spoke. The immortal has spoke only ordinary common sense. You just sunk half the French fleet. Poor ole buggers. Hardy, what do you think of that? It's far too risky. Risky's the essence of every battle I've ever fought. Of course it is. Risk is the essence of all great battles won by my Nelson. This victory, if it is won, will not be won by your Nelson, my lady. I am not talking to you, captain Hardy. Have you forgot? I beg your ladyship's pardon. I had thought that a kind of peace between us had been concluded at the first course. Never. A truce perhaps, but no more. Well, if you are going to discuss naval tactics and such like things, I shall find myself more congenial company up there. What are you standing up for? So you think it's too risky for Collingwood? Too risky for any admiral in the world, except one. Does your lordship know of any naval commander who would risk losing his entire fleet in a single afternoon? By following a revolutionary battle plan, conceived by a genius who has been induced to absent himself from the action? You mean seduced, don't you, captain Hardy? Well, I don't give a eunuch's ball, saving your cloth, reverend, for what you and your fine naval friends think of me. I know you would all like to see me roasting in hell, every single one of you. Not you, dear, I like you. But let me tell you this. Nelson's vow to me is un eakable, isn't it? Yes, it is. Hardy was not trying to make me eak it. He was merely talking about naval matters. Hardy, you haven't drank your port. I was waiting, my lord, for the loyal toast. Loyal what? Emma? Ladies and gentlemen. I don't drink to the court that insults you and me, you know that, Nelson. Seems that her ladyship is going to conform to the naval custom of drinking her toast sitting down. The king. The king. God bless him. Don't give a fig for that old lunatic at Windsor, or his German bitch of a queen. Here, little George, catch. A shade too much Brandy for good bowling, but I make a very handsome cricketer, aye, little George? Emma, you will apologise to captain Hardy and captain Blackwood for what you just said about the king and the queen. Because they have sworn a vow of loyalty to his old lunacy? Yes. And vows of loyalty are such sacred things, are they not? Yes. More sacred, I don't doubt, than vows made to certain persons in bed. Perhaps you would be happier in tomtit's bed than mine. Emma, you're making a spectacle of yourself in front of strangers. There's nothing in the world I hate more than that. Bugger off. Apologise to captain Hardy and to captain Blackwood. All right, then. Captain Blackwood, captain Hardy, I apologise. You really are the most enchanting creature. Oh, you say the prettiest things to me sometimes. Did you say such things to tomtit? You know the answer. Yes, I do. But I like to hear it said, so say it. Very well. I dislike my wife and I always have. I'm sorry, Blackwood, but sometimes the truth must be spoken. She's a cruel, vindictive shrew, obsessed with hatred of my Nelson. Nelson, tell them about that letter you had sent back to her marked, opened in error, but not read. Very well, then. If you won't, I will. Can you imagine what kind of a letter it must have been to have made my gentle-hearted Nelson send it back to its writer marked so? Did you read this letter, my lady? No. So dreadful was it, my Nelson would not even give it to me to read. And to think, that letter was sent dated Christmas day. No. December the 18th. What did he say? He said it was dated December the 18th. Yes. Have you read this filthy letter? Yes. And it wasn't filthy. Not the letter I read, anyway. How could... Have you been seeing tomtit? I saw her once. George, are you a traitor? A traitor in our family, here at paradise Merton? Come here, boy. Why did you go and see her? Because she asked me. And she showed you that letter? She let me see the envelope and what was marked on it. She didn't want me to read the letter itself, but I did. Because I said you couldn't possibly have known what was written on the envelope. And why did you say that? Because I thought that no man could do such a cruel, dishonourable thing to his wife, least of all you. So, as I thought your honour was involved... Jesus. Go on. I've read the letter, and I hoped to read the sort of letter that lady Hamilton has just spoken on. It wasn't like that at all. It was a kind letter. I don't remember all the words, but there was something about finding you a comfortable, warm house. Go to your room. Uncle, uncle. Please tell me that was not the letter you sent back to your wife. Go to your room at once. Catty, take him to his room and see that he's locked in. Yes, Horatio. Not to his room, out of this house tonight. Send him back to his friend, the bitch woman of bath. I still give the orders in this house, and I expect them to be obeyed. Take him to his room and lock him in. Yes, Horatio. The rest of you, please go to your beds. You're not going out in this, it's pouring. By your leave, my lady. My lady? Are we back to that? Nelson, come back. Come here, come away. Nelson! Oh, Minto, what am I to do? Do what he says. Leave him to cool his temper in the rain. And then when he comes back from his drenching, just apply the right arts. The right arts? When those arts fail, the world will end. True. So they mustn't fail, must they? They won't. Minto, you knew me when I first met him. Was I quite such a vulgar, drunken slut? Oh, you won't answer that. Yes, your ladyship was always vulgar. Well, being a blacksmith's daughter shows. Woman, you're talking nonsense. You think I couldn't have turned myself into a genteel English lady? My god, who wants to be like Catty Matcham? What a death in life. Nope, vulgar I always was, vulgar I will remain by choice. And now, we come to drunken. How does that compare with six years ago? I think you drink more now and get less drunk. You don't miss much. I drink from morning to night, no longer for my enjoyment or anyone else's, it would seem. It's from fear. Isn't that why most people drink? Fear of losing him? Of course. But my dear lady, that will never happen. You really believe that? You think I still look well enough, do I? You look as desirable as when you sat for Romney. Oh, don't say that, my god. I can eat flattery, but when you mention Romney, I know you're lying. I did not say beautiful, I said desirable. By candlelight, to a man half-blind. By candlelight or daylight, half-blind or with both eyes clear, Nelson will always see you as Romney saw you, as his divine lady. And how do I see myself? Answer me that. I look at myself in the morning and I think, he can't love that. Not that. And I do love him. I think you do. Only think? My god, I love him more than I love life. Oh, Minto, you go to him. Oh, please. He's thinking of her and that's bad. It's always bad. You go to him. As your ladyship commands. Have you come to plague me with questions? No. Did you know of that letter? No. I wonder how many people he's told. Does it matter? May we please take some shelter from the rain? I'm not so used to huger storms on the bay of Biscay. Does it matter, you ask? Possibly not. The world must be on her side. A faithful and loving wife, vilely cheated by her husband, now living in loneliness and despair because that very villain who cast her off so cruelly has ibed his family and intimidated his friends to make them desert her, too. A pitiful, misused lady, flying her flag with genteel dignity in her lodgings in bath, while her besotted husband rollicks away his honour and his reputation with the mother of his bastard child. That's how the boy sees it, Minto. Why should not the world see it through his eyes, too? The world, Horatio, is not your nephew. I'm not at all sure that my nephew is not the world. Young eyes usually see the truth of things through a distorting mirror, but oh, so does the world, I suppose. I know what the world sees. Six years ago in Naples, I deserted a loyal and loving wife for the em aces of a notorious charmer. He's not leaving his wife for that woman, you said. That Emma Hamilton, who displayed herself naked at 14 Vauxhall gardens. Was sold by Greville to Hamilton to repay a bad debt, and was vetted by half the nobility and gentry in England? Do you think I didn't know how loud the laughter was? Did they laugh in the house of lords, Minto? My lordship, they laugh easily. And if I'm to be strangled for it, I'd prefer a bit more shelter than this. Her ladyship's private signal. Not yet. You think I don't see exactly what you see? A vulgar, drunken woman throwing a fit? You think I don't wince at the stories, shudder at the language, wretch at the smell of Brandy sometimes? Do you think I'm so stupid and insensitive that I don't suffer a thousand deaths every day when I'm with Emma? Forgive me, I must walk. Go in if you want to. I was jeered at in clergy street today. I think I can understand why. No, you don't. All you understand is the tragedy of a love, unsuitable to a national hero. A man who wins your victories for you. But there's no tragedy, Minto, I promise you. I'm still content with my lot and that. You can call it an obsession if you'd like, but I love her. And I want exactly who she is. Goodnight, Minto, dear friend. I was commanded to whip my son. If I'm too cowardly, I must command you to do it. If it is not done, she will know. But you must not hope to see her tonight. The key to his room. All right, Matcham. You go to bed. Well, am I to be the first to talk? I have nothing to say. How was lady Nelson? Unhappy? I'm sorry you should've seen it. Did she talk much about me? With love, I suppose. With noble, resigned, forgiving love. What did she say? She said you were the kindest, gentlest soul alive. How easy it is for her to find the right words. And she doesn't mean them? Oh yes, of course she means them. She has no reason to invent them. And she can write them, too, as well as speak them. For instance, George, bath, the 18th of December, 1801. My clearest husband. It is some time since I've written to you. The silence which you have imposed is more than my affection will allow. In this instance, I hope you will forgive me for not obeying you. One thing that I omitted from my letter of July, that I have now to offer you, if your accommodation is a comfortable, warm house. Do, my dear husband, let us live together. I can never be happy until this event takes place. Let everything be buried in oblivion. It will pass away like a dream. I am, most sincerely and affectionately, your wife. You see, George, I did read it. Yes. Aunt Frances must have done something really dreadful to you once. What? She wrote that letter. Perhaps you'll understand better one day. No, I'll never understand it. Never! It was a kind, loving letter. Many cruel acts are done out of love and kindness. Perhaps most, George. Oh, dear god. Must I explain? Yes, you must. Is it so important to you? The most important thing on earth. Very well, I'll try. But it won't save my honour that you guard so carefully. Oh, don't make fun of that. I won't. George, when you have done wrong to someone, an open wrong, a shameful wrong, to be forgiven for it is the very hell. What do you do about an enemy who won't hate you? That answers every oadside with a signal gently fluttering from the mast that says, whatever you do to me, I shall always forgive you, and I will go on loving you forever? And that's the truth, George. But why must she be an enemy? Because she declared war. How? She made me choose. But that's not war. It was to me. Anyway, don't think I resent your alliance with her. There's no alliance. I must take your side. Why? Now you know what a shameful fellow I am. Because you're Nelson. Well, here's your first lesson in a long and difficult course. Human love and human hate. It's a complex study for anyone, and I never went to school, but did you understand any of it? No. Well, you're in good company. Now, if you'll oblige me with the use of your pillow. Could I ask you for a little cooperation? A yelp or two might be of service. Well, very well. Now let this be a lesson to you, sir, that you'll never forget. I'll have no more treachery under this roof. You have both insulted me and gravely offended lady Hamilton. Goodnight, George. Goodnight, uncle. Perhaps one day we'll both understand. You didn't hurt him too much, did you? I don't know, but I have certainly hurt him. And yourself, too. Oh my Nelson, I do shame you sometimes. The culprit most humbly begs your forgiveness. Emma, there's no one here. Your Emma has most grievously offended, and does most humbly submit herself to your lordship's great will. You know my will. Whether it's great or not is another matter, but it's certainly unquenchable. I was very bad, wasn't I? It's forgotten. Did I really call Hardy a bugger? You did. Let's hope inaccurately. Oh, I will behave better, I promise. I will, I will. My heaven, you're soaking. A glass of Brandy. Emma's sovereign cure for all ills. Oh, Nelson. I was so afraid tonight that I would lose you. Never. Not 'til death. Who shall we drink to? Let's drink. To Emma and her Nelson. Ooh, you've spoiled your pretty plan. Yes. What a shame. I had intended keeping the table laid exactly like this to show visitors how Nelson won his battle of Cadiz. You mean how Collingwood won Nelson's battle of Cadiz? I said how Nelson won it. Emma, I did not ask... no, but you were going to. No, you're wrong. I would never, never have asked. Well, you'd have called me my lady a little more often, or perhaps discovered you wanted to walk out of the house alone in the rain as the time of the battle drew nearer. I love my Nelson, but I love all of him. I don't want half of him, with the better half pining to be out at sea. Has Hardy been talking to you tonight? That person, I would not soil my lips. Emma? And it's not only that feeling, Nelson. I wouldn't want to be thought of as the woman who kept you from going out when your country needed you. It is my country, too, you know. So you, too, think I'm needed? There is only one Nelson in the whole world, and he is mine and mine alone. Yes, yours alone. Mine to keep and mine to give. Promise me one thing. This time, take care. Don't leave your Emma alone and deserted. I'll do everything in my power to see that you are not alone and deserted. And this I solemnly vow, before god. Well, you're very good with vows, and you do your best to keep them. Where will the victory be? Here, I suppose. I think it's better to leave the disposition to me. Otherwise, you'll have sunk half the fleet before I've had time to engage the enemy. It will be another victory, won't it? Yes. A big one? A very big one. When they see our masts coming over the horizon, they'll see what think is our line of sail. I'll hoist no signal that betrays them. It's also our line of battle, except one. A little signal to amuse the fleet. You'll excuse us, gentlemen, but the order's been sounded to prepare ship for action. Well, gentlemen, I think that's all. You better rejoin your ships. There is one question, my lord. At our conference last night, you agreed, did you not, that the victory should not be the first into battle? Villeneuve flies his flag on the Bucentaure. According to the rules of the search, he's my prize, nobody else's. I take it we're all agreed on that? The enemy is sighted, my lord. Good gentlemen, to business. May god bless our endeavours. Captain? Yes, my lord. For five hours, I've watched you trying to pass me in your damn temeraire. When we come to battle, I'll thank you to keep to your proper state. Yes, my lord, what is that? Behind me. Fresh beef after battle, eh? Heave, heave! England expects that every man will do his duty. _ my great god whom I worship, Grant my country and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory. May no misconduct in anyone tarnish it. May humanity after victory be the predominant feature of the British fleet. For myself individually, I commit my life to him who made me, and may his blessing lie on my endeavours to serve my country faithfully. To him, I resign myself and the just cause, which has been entrusted to me to defend. Amen, amen, amen. Blackwood, why aren't you aboard your ship? I stayed, my lord, in case you should, after all, decide to fly your flag in a frigate. I beg my pardon, my lord? The frigate was for Collingwood. You better get on board yours and carry over. My lord, will you please reconsider? The victory, if she is first into battle, will have the weight of four enemy battleships against her, alone and unsupported. You make it four to you, I make it five. Will you at least keep your personal promise to me and wear a plain coat? I see you presume to send for it. May I assist your lordship into it? Don't you trust me, Hardy? No, my lord. Well, since you and Blackwood are so conveniently here, I'd like you to attest to my signature on this document. There's no necessity for you to read it, but in case we are burnt or sunk, I better give you the gist of it. Now this document clearly leaves lady Hamilton, I'll read you the last paragraph. I leave Emma lady Hamilton, therefore a legacy to my king and country, that they will give her an ample provision to maintain her rank in life. Now, if you'd sign it just here. Thank you, gentlemen. All right. Goodbye, Blackwood. Goodbye, my lord. And may I wish your lordship a most complete and crushing victory ever won. Well, if it's to be, it'll be no more than I've planned. But god will decide all. Thank you, gentlemen. Stockings and shoes for the battle. Mr. Pavel. Easier for the surgeons. Yes. Do you see how careless I've become? I'll send a midshipman to your cabin. I think the time has passed for changing clothes. It's bad gunnery. They'll be firing at each other next. It'll be some time before we can open fire, so shall we continue our walk? When we come to it, louder than the guns, Mr. McKillop. I beg your lordship's pardon? I said, when we come to it, louder than the guns, Mr. McKillop.' Prepare all decks for close action. Report when ready. Starboard gun deck, ready. Middle gun deck, ready. Upper gun deck ready, sir. All guns ready, sir. Sink me a ship, master gunner. Aye-aye, sir. Fire! Fire! - Justin? - Lord. Take a party and man the tiller. Make a signal to the fleet. Engage the enemy more closely. Aye-aye, my lord. Warm work, Hardy. They've done for me at last, Hardy. No, no. Yes. My backbone is shot through. Best cover these up. The man must know that plain coat might've been... Cover him and take him below. Back to the guns. Look lively! I'm done for, doctor. You may save other lives. Just send for captain Hardy. He's here, my lord. Hardy. How goes it, Hardy? The Bucentaure has surrendered. We've captured Villeneuve? Tell Collingwood to treat him well. He, he has been a most gallant enemy. I would've enjoyed Villeneuve as my guest at dinner tonight. What of the other enemy ships? I can't tell your lordship exactly how many prizes we've taken, but I can answer for 15 of their larger ships. I'd bargained 20. No British ship struck or sunk? No, my lord. It is the greatest and most complete victory ever won at sea. That's good, of course, but I had bargained for 20. Hardy. Thank god I've done my duty, for which more, much more than you will ever know, you should thank my darling Emma. It's difficult to see you. Kiss me. I've not ever been too great a sinner. Too great. I have been entrusted with dispatches, which I have ought by the fastest frigate in our fleet. And so, my lady, as I have not yet reported to the admiralty, you are the first person in England to hear the news of this great victory at Trafalgar. It was what he sought, my lady, the utter and complete annihilation of the enemy fleet. His plan worked, as he knew it would. It worked as well as he could ever have wished. Forgive me, my lady, I have more to tell. I know you have, captain. I know what other news you are bearing to the admiralty. How? Who has told you? No one has told me, for no one needed to. I knew when he left I would not see him again alive. How else, if you are Nelson, can you leave this life, except at the moment of your greatest triumph? Did he suffer much pain? Some, but not much. Of that, I can assure your ladyship. I was with him at the end. Did he speak of me? He spoke of little else. You're not inventing that to be kind? No, my lady. I would never do that. No, you would not. Some other messenger might, but not you. I must not detain you, captain, from taking your great news to the admiralty. It was kind of you to eak your journey at Merton. Forgive me if I do not see you to the door. To the right honourable viscountess Nelson. Madam, it is with utmost concern that in the midst of victory at Trafalgar, I have to inform your ladyship of the death of your illustrious partner, lord viscount Nelson. It is the death he wished for and the less to be regretted on that account. But the public loss is irretrievable. I can only add that events of this kind do not happen by chance. No, not by chance. I commend, therefore, your ladyship, to the protection of almighty god. And since... Lady Hamilton, she says she will see you. But please, oh please, lady Nelson, it would be so kind if you go. For a whole week, she's not well. Not see visitors. Lady Nelson? Lady Nelson. Or is it countess? I hear they've made him an Earl after his death. Anyway, this is indeed an unexpected pleasure. Pray forgive the attire. It was all I could find in my wardrobe of mourning. I never could abide black. Lady Hamilton, I have come for one purpose only, to ing you some news that you may, in your grief, find of some comfort. My grief? What about yours? It can hardly be as great. Six years is a long enough time to grow accustomed to a loss. You never did lose him. Never did quite lose him. Didn't you know that? I would ask your ladyship, your countess-ship. Oh, and I did so want to be a countess. I'm a snob, you see. I always have been. I would invite you into my drawing room had the creditors not already taken out all the furniture, but if your ladyship should require refreshment... no, I thank you. Well, you will forgive this ladyship. Oh, why don't they stop ringing that bell? They've been ringing it day and night. I suppose they think my Nelson... Oh, sorry, our Nelson will hear it as he rolls about in that barrel of Brandy they're inging him home in. Brandy, you know, is the best preservative for the dead. But is it for the living? Oh, I applaud your ladyship's wit, but I am not living. What is your comforting news? My husband's will has arrived. Ah. In it, of course, you were left this house. And contents. It had better be. There aren't any left anyway, and the house is buried in mortgages. Yes, that is known. But this document should repair all, much more than all. How can that be? He had nothing to leave but his stars and medals. This codicil, duly signed, attested, and perfectly legal, requests that your king and country should give you ample provision to maintain your rank in life, and leaves you, Emma lady Hamilton, as a bequest to the nation. A bequest to the nation? Me? I'll die on this. Can you just see me, in Westminster hall, on a plin? Or at Windsor sitting on the throne between the king and queen, with a plaque saying, here sits Emma Hamilton, the late lord Nelson's whore. My poor Nelson, what a baby he was. Did he really think there would be the slightest chance? I give you my word that I personally will do everything in my power to see that my lord's last wishes are met. I believe you will. I can't think why. If it were me, I'd have torn that thing up. I don't think so. Nothing I have heard about you has indicated anything but the most wide and generous nature. Wide and generous? A whore, that's all. A whore who stole your husband. My husband left my bed for yours. He was bound to leave it one day for somebody's. I've understood that for a long time now. But why should we quarrel because the bed happened to be yours? You must have hated me, didn't you? Yes, just as you hated me. You're a good woman. And the good has triumphed at last. Is there any triumph for either of us? What will happen to you? Well, debtors' prisons aren't that uncomfortable these days. There's always this. I might even cheat my creditors. It'd be a race anyway. Let me keep this. Could always sell the signature. I wonder, lady Nelson, as a matter of idle curiosity, which of us will be the better remembered 100 years from now? You, I suppose. I'll just be the figure of fun. Well, the figure of fun is going back to her bed. Oh, why don't they stop that bloody bell? Can I, I help you? No. Thank you for coming down. I mean that. Oh, Jesus. You know, he very nearly didn't come to Naples at all. Then I'd never have met him. His first orders were for Gi altar. It's a funny world, isn't it? Stand by.
(Whistle blows) (Bell rings) (Whistle blows) (Birds caw) (Bell rings) (Whistle blows) (Rousing orchestral music) (Whistle blows) (Birds caw) - Oh, Minto, it's you. I was looking for some dull admiralty official. - Yeah, and the guard of honour, and your usual crowd. - Yes. And you better have a pretty good reason for landing me like a smuggler in this little hole. - Sailor We're off, Nelson. Best respects, my lord. - Crewmen Aye-aye. - Sailor Pack it on. Stand by. Give way together. - And you cannot fool crowds, especially not English ones. They'll find out that I've landed, head straight for London. - Minto Aye, my lord. - You have changes of horses? - Minto Yep. - Good. We're due at the admiralty in the morning. (Hooves clatter) Now, why the secrecy? - Because if we'd landed you among a crowd, and the word had spread that you were back in england after two years and no longer out there keeping the French away, we might have started to panic. Well, I must say you haven't the air of a man who's dying. - Oh, by your own reports, of every illness known to medicine. (Nelson chuckles) - Well, I had to exaggerate a little. I have a fever of the blood. You more than most people know its name. - Aye, I know its name. Everyone in Europe knows its name, but after a couple of years absence from the lady, I thought, well, some of us thought- - every second of every minute of that two years absence from Emma Hamilton has been a torment. You could tell that to the admiralty. I'll tell them myself. I'm not wearing this damn thing on shore. And besides, Emma hates it. - How is it? Where would she be waiting for me, in London? - No, she's at Merton, preparing for your arrival as befits the mistress of the household. - A small detour from this road will come to Merton. It won't take long. - It will take two hours. - Well, two hours, is it? - And 12 hours more after that. No, I've promised to deliver you straight to the admiralty, and straight to the admiralty I shall deliver you. (Horse whinnies) - Lord Nelson, it is my present duty to extend to you the lords of the admiralty's firm in thanks, and heartfelt congratulations on your most recent operations. (Clears throat) After an unremitting cruises of two long years in the stormy seas off Toulon, to have proceeded without going into port to Alexandria from the west Indies, back again to Gi altar, to have kept your ships afloat, your rigging standing- - barely. - Yes, quite so. You have protected england for two long years, and have saved the west Indies by only a few days. I think there was some more, but I've seemed to have misplaced the other sheet. - Which is just as well, perhaps, since my idiocy in chasing Villeneuve across the Atlantic and back could have put Bonaparte on the throne of england. - But it didn't, lord Nelson, all thanks to your name. - Did he know my name? - You must know that he did. - (Nelson chuckles) - I like you. They said I wouldn't, but I do. Where is Villeneuve now? - At Ferrol. - Collingwood's latest dispatch gives it that Villeneuve's about to sail. - He won't do that. Bonaparte is no seaman, but he's not mad. Villeneuve will stay in Ferrol. - And that is your estimation, lord Nelson? - It's the estimation of a humble flag officer, but I'll have a Guinea on it, if you're a betting man. - And how long do you think he will stay at Ferrol? - Long enough to give me a fair leave. Lord Barham, I've come home to beg you and their lordships to give me some months' rest from battle. - Barham Did you say months? - Yes, I did. There's a promise that I've made a certain lady from whom I've been wholly separated for two years, and who is happy to have me home. - Yes, yes, I see. Well, now that the immediate danger of invasion is past, you can of course take some few weeks. God knows you deserve that, my lord. And perhaps after that, her ladyship may relent. - I doubt it, my lord. In a matter of being separated from me, her ladyship is not a very relenting person. - Perhaps if I wrote to her myself. Remind me, would you Minto, to write to lady Nelson? - I think it was to another ladyship that lord Nelson was referring. - Oh, yes. I'm very sorry, my lord. Nevertheless, I trust lady Nelson is well. - I haven't the faintest idea. She now lives in bath, I believe, where the waters no doubt will help her various infirmities, real and imagined. Now, if we've finished our business, I'd like to take my leave. - By all means. - Can I have your promise that, only if Villeneuve sails north, will you call on my services within the next few months? - You have that promise. - And you've accepted my Guinea bet that anyway, he won't come out of Ferrol? - Shall we make it five? - Done. (Hooves clatter) (Light playful music) - Lady Nelson, a most present surprise. I'd almost thought you'd given up taking our orders. - Thank you, Mr. Long. (Light playful music) - Very good, please, for the viscountess Nelson. (Light playful music) - Yes, we're all mentioned. Lord Nelson has invited all the members of his family to stay with him at Merton. Among the residents of bath, so honoured are Mr. and Mrs.- - George, don't look to your right. - I wasn't looking to my right, I was reading. - It's her. It's tomtit. How dare she come to the pamplum in the afternoon? - Well, it's free. - Oh, she saw that. - So did the whole pamplum. - Go on reading. - Ah, yes. Who leave on their joyous expedition to London tomorrow morning. Their young son, George Matcham Jr., nephew to lord Nelson, who must surely count himself the most fortunate boy in england, leaves next Saturday to join them. (Bright playful music) - You smiled at tomtit. - She smiled first. - I've told you and told you about that. God knows it's hard enough that we should all be living together in the same small town. But whenever you meet her, George, what you must do is to treat her as if she didn't exist. - I hope you do consider yourself the most fortunate boy in all of england. - Oh yes, I do. Will lady Hamilton be at clergy street? - I don't know, dear. - Will he be at clergy street? - No. You see, George, for him to stay with her at clergy street would hardly be proper. - But she stays at Merton. - Merton is your uncle's residence. Lady Hamilton stays there as his guest. - Well, why can't he stay at clergy street? That's her guest. - Don't speak with your mouth full, dear. - Sorry. Well, why can't he? - And don't ask foolish questions, either. - Father, can you tell me? - No, frankly, George, I can't. Since they live openly together at Merton- - oh, don't call it that. - What, openly or together? - Together. George might get quite the wrong impression. Together implies something. - It implies together. That's how they live. - I'll explain it all to you later, George. We must go now. - Yes, mum. - Hmm. (Gentle orchestral music) (Hooves clatter) (Bell tolls) - Now, pass your exams tomorrow. If not, the headmaster might not let you come. What would you do then, eh? - I'd kill him. (Matcham chuckles) - Now remember, George, to be on your best behaviour when you come to Merton. You're not scared, are you? - Oh, no, not of him. But I will be of her, I think. - Well, you needn't be. She's the most lovable soul alive. Is she not, my dear? - Lovable is an accurate enough description of a lady who, in her day, has been greatly loved. And who is now undoubtedly loved by our host. - Thank you. It is much more than just love. - What can be more than just love? - Oh, something altogether higher, nothing gross or physical. Something, well, ethereal. - Ethereal? - Of the ether. The air, spiritual, not of the flesh at all. Come along, clear, or we'll be late. - Joseph. - Goodbye, George. - Goodbye. - Be a good boy. (Rousing orchestral music) - Hello, master George. - Hello, Emily. - You've grown. - Have I? - I'm awfully sorry, Emily, but I'm not supposed to speak to you. Mother's ordered. - Well, I can't be doing with that. Come along, master George. (Rousing orchestral music) - Thank you for coming, George. Please sit down. - I thank your ladyship, but I would rather stand. - I won't insist, but if you could call me aunt Frances, as in the old days, it might make our talk less formal. - Yes, aunt Frances. - You're growing fast, George. When I saw you this afternoon, I hardly recognised you. But still, it has been six years. By the way, thank you for smiling at me. - Well, I shouldn't have, because my mother said i- - oh, I saw you getting a tongue lashing from your mother afterwards. Yes, I am sorry about that. But I have a little present for you here, to make up for it. - Six pounds? - Remember, I gave you no Christmas present these past six years. Go on, take it. - What do you want me to do for it? - When you come back from Merton, I should like you to write me a letter, telling me everything, every smallest thing about my lord. How he is, how he looks, everything he says to you that you can remember. That's all. That's not much, is it? - Isn't that a bit like spying? - I only want news of my husband. Is that so wicked? - And about lady Hamilton? - No, no, no, this is not about lady Hamilton. In fact, George, I forbid you to write one word about lady Hamilton. Good. Now, I want to know especially, how is his good eye? Does he still get those terrible headaches? And is his arm less painful? And the cough that was so terrible. - He may not even talk to me, because I've only seen him twice in my life, and that was when I was small. - Oh, he'll talk to you, George. He loves young people, and a kinder... a gentler man never lived. Of course, if you could let slip that I should be overjoyed to see him again. Oh, not to talk, you understand. It displeases him. Oh dear, I forget how I began this sentence. It's a bad habit, George. I mustn't keep you. - Goodbye, aunt Frances. - Anything at all about him, anything. No matter how trivial it may seem to you, it won't seem so to me. (Bell chimes) - What did you do? - What does your mother say I did? - She won't tell me. But she says it was very bad. - Perhaps it was. - Well, what was it? - I made him choose. - Well, that's not bad. - It was bad for him. Now, let's change the subject. Tell me, why do they now call me tomtit? - Don't you know? - No. - It's the way you walk. - The way I walk? - Like the bird, you know. - How funny, I never thought... Well, show me how I walk. - No. - Please go on. Show me how they imitate me in the family. (Frances chuckles) My old, rheumaticy legs. Most birdlike, I see. I never guessed it was my walk. - George Is there, is there anything you want? Shall I call Emily? - Forgive me George, forget it. - Do you ever write to him? - The last time I wrote to him was at Christmas four years ago. He sent the letter back to me marked, opened by mistake by lord Nelson, but not read. - But that's something sort of dishonourable, and that's not possible. I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that. - That opens the right hand compartment of the desk over there. There's only one letter in it. Take it out and look at the cover. Oh no, George, no, don't. Oh, please. Don't read the letter itself. - I'm sorry, but I've just got to. You see, he's my uncle, you see, and he's Nelson. Is this all? There wasn't another sheet with a postscript, saying that lady Hamilton's a whore or something? - No, dear George. How fond I could have been of you, had I only been allowed to. No, there was no postscript about lady Hamilton. And there would've been a little point in reminding him of the profession unkind people say she once followed. - You're not trying to get me to believe that lady Hamilton was, was- - I don't think anyone says lady Hamilton is a whore now. It would be good to think she were. Unhappily, I do not. No, there was no other sheet. - Lady Hamilton must have recognised your writing and opened it. Of course, that's it. She opened it and read it, and then told lord Nelson that it was a horrible letter, which he mustn't read. So then he sent it back to you. That's how it must have been. Don't you think? - Dear George, I'm sure that's exactly how it must have been. Now put the letter back in the compartment, lock it, and give me the key. - Why don't I take it down to give to him? - You'll certainly do no such thing. - Well, I'd hate it if anyone thought uncle Horatio was capable of such a cruel and dishonourable thing as to send back a Christmas letter to a... I really think I ought to show it to him. - Now forget about it, George. And just remember him as the kind of man he really is, as I do. Goodbye, George. It was good to see you again. - My respects, my lady. - And mine to you, sir. (Bright orchestral music) (Hooves clatter) (Horse snorts) - Good luck. - Thank you. - George Good morning. - Good morning. - I believe I'm expected. I'm master Matcham. - Oh, yes. Come in, come in. Lord Nelson out now, but I tell lady Hamilton you here, eh? You wait here. (Speaks in foreign language) (Bright orchestral music) - Eccellenza. Master Matcham downstairs. You must dress. - Not yet, you silly cow. I've only had three hours sleep. - So many? Three's more than he's giving you every night since he come back. How many times? - Oh, I can't remember. There was one. (Lady Hamilton mumbles) Seven, I think. (Speaks in foreign language) - Another year and he would've burst, pop. Come, cognac? (Speaks in foreign language) - I tell you, Eccellenza, one night he'll die of it. - He'll die of it? - For you, Eccellenza, 70 times seven and still not die. - You are an impertinent cow, and I don't know why I bother to keep you. Who'd you say was downstairs? - Younger boy, master Matcham. - Young George Matcham? - Yes. - He's never set eyes upon me in his life before, and I'm in this state. Oh, Christ. There's a lot of work to be done. (Bright orchestral music) - Lady Hamilton will see you in her bed. Come. - George Her bed? - No, no. She received many gentlemen in her bed. Many, much bigger gentlemen. - No, but you see, I, I, I... Um... - My dearest little George Matcham. Come here, let me give you a kiss. My, aren't you handsome? There's even a touch of my Nelson about you. In five years, I'll make him jealous of you. Well, it's a joke, George. Oh, all the world knows there's only one Nelson for me, and that's my Nelson. Aye, Francesca? - At seven times a night. (Shouts in foreign language) - You must forgive Francesca, George, she's from Naples, where, as you know, my late dear husband William was our ambassador. God rest his soul. Oh, bugger it, all over the bed. What was I saying? - I think it was something about your maid. - Oh yes, Francesca. She's a Neapolitan. And her manners at times are a trifle peasant-like. (Lady Hamilton belches) Ooh. This is a medicament, prescribed by my doctors for plaguing migraine. It affects me in the morning, from time to time. - What's in it? - A variety of ingredients. All of the most efficacious, I do assure you. Ahh. There, I feel better already. - I'm so glad. - Dear little George Matcham, aren't you happy to be the nephew of such a great man? - Yes, I am. - Great Jove himself, immortal of all the immortals. Hold me up, you silly cow. - You no eat nothing. I ing you some perca pie, yes? - Oh, I don't know what my stomach will hold this morning. Might toy with a piece of cold mutton. - To bit, Eccellenza. - Eccellenza means excellency, George, which of course in Naples is what I was. And to the queen of Naples I was, guess what? Carissima Mia, beloved friend. And so she was to me, George. And so she was. Do you know she would sometimes do me the honour of asking me to share her bed? And the king, he did me much honour, too. Of course, not quite in the same way. Jesus. It's a Neapolitan phrase, George. They make much use of our lord's name, and of the blessed virgin, too. Of course, to our ears it may sound a little common, but one soon gets used to it. As an ambassadress, one has to. (Lady Hamilton belches) Ooh, I think I must have drunk my medicine too first. Yes, who is it? - Minto Is your ladyship visible? - Minto. Come in, come in. - Good morning, my dear. - Lady Hamilton Visible to you at any time. - Are you holding a levee? - At least I've risen. This is young George Matcham, my lord Nelson's nephew. - Oh, young master Matcham, your servant, sir. - And this, George, is lord Minto, your uncle's dearest friend. - My lord. - My Nelson vows he loves Minto most of all persons in the world, second only to me, aye, Minto? - A very poor second for the competition provided by your ladyship is, to say the least, large. (Lady Hamilton chuckles) - Oh, you'd like me thin as a wraith, aye, Minto? A flag pole. Perhaps you think my Nelson would prefer me so, that he could more easily run up his flag? Well, let me tell you. His flag does quite well enough as it is, thank you very much. Last night, it was nailed to the mast at no surrender, and the signals all at close action. (Lady Hamilton chuckles) Oh dear, little George. Little George, would you like to run down to my morning room while I dress? - Yes, my lady. - Don't call me my lady. - What shall I call you? - Aunt Emma, of course. What else? That is what I am in the sight of god. - Yes, aunt Emma. - Come here, give me a kiss. - Yes, aunt Emma. - Ah, little Georgie. (Loudly smooches) There. Oh, leave all that. Help me find something to wear that won't make me look like a curate's ass. Oh, what a sweet boy. I vow I love him already. I know he loves me. - My bet, lord Barham. I still don't understand what madness made the fellow leave Ferrol for Cádiz of all places. - Barham Is it madness to combine with the Spanish, and make a battle fleet far larger than anything we could ing against him? - Reinforce Collingwood at once, with every seaworthy vessel your lordships can dispose of. - Barham Collingwood, my lord? You said Collingwood? - Yes. You haven't relieved him of his command, have you? - Oh, we propose to. Lord Nelson, you are here at our invitation, to be offered the supreme command yourself. - My lords, I'm deeply honoured. - What did he say? - He says he's deeply honoured. - I must nevertheless refuse, as the first lord should've told you I must. - Barham How so, my lord? - Because you made me a solemn promise that only if Villeneuve sailed north would you call on my services. - Well, that promise was given before the present situation was known. - It was nevertheless a promise. And on account of it, I gave the same promise to a certain lady. If your lordships have any further business with me, you'll find me at Merton, at least for the next few weeks. Oh, come on, Minto, don't just sit there. - Pull for the shore, is it? Right. - Where were you last night? The court ball, I suppose. - Yes, yes. I was surprised not to see you there. - That's a poxy lie, you knew we wouldn't be asked. - Oh, an oversight, surely. - An oversight, my ass. They won't have us at any price. I don't mind for myself. I do mind for him. Two years away, the west Indies saved, not so much as a shipped biscuit at the palace. It's all because of me. Still, it'll take more than a snub from those Hanovers to separate us. And it will take more than all you meddling politicians, too. - Meddling, my lady? - You think I don't know what goes on in your lords and commons? How the devil can we separate Nelson from that Hamilton bitch? Well, it won't work. Do you hear? There's not one of you who can separate us this time. He has given me his promise, and that is that. I can't wear that thing. It makes me look like an ageing governess eight months gone. Try the orange silk. Well, what do you say? - Oh, I'm sure the orange silk would go perfectly- - oh, rig the orange silk. I am talking about the conspiracy by the admiralty to send my Nelson out to Cádiz again. And don't try and tell me that you and your precious politicians haven't had a hand in that. Damn you, you all try to separate us. - Not I, my lady. - Why can none of you understand? England needs a live, healthy Nelson, not a Nelson oken and sick and half-dead from longing. That Hamilton bitch. Perhaps I am. But I'm the woman he wants and who can make him happy. Oh, Neapolitan ape, the one with the frills with less up here. They all like a bit of titty fill out. (Speaks in foreign language) - That you have enemies in certain circles, I know. But never count me among them. - Oh, you disapprove, too. - I neither approve or disapprove. I accept. (Lady Hamilton sighs) Au revoir, master Matcham, I shall be seeing you at Merton? - Yes, my lord. Good. Master Matcham, you have about you a certain look. Before you arrive at Merton, you'd do well to remove it. It will not be popular there. - What look, my lord? - It's a look of shock, master Matcham, and is not uncommon among those friends of lord Nelson who meet lady Hamilton for the first time. But remove it, sir, I beg you. Your uncle will not like it. - Are you fond of lady Hamilton? - You seem, master Matcham, to have inherited your uncle's flare for surprise attacks. - I'm sorry. - No, don't be. I always tell the truth, except when I need to tell a lie. Yes, I am fond of Emma Hamilton. She's a very generous, good-hearted lady. Loyal, passionate, and kind. You'd better have some wine. You still have that look. - No, thank you. But if you could, but if you could only explain- - Minto Explain what? - Oh, it doesn't matter. - Well, I think it does matter, to you and to some hundreds of thousands in this land. You want to know what your uncle sees in lady Hamilton to love her so passionately, is that it? He sees that. - Oh, he can't. - He can, and he does. Master Matcham, let me just tell you this, as adult to adolescent. That question, what does one person see in another person? Has been asked since the beginning of time, and will be asked to the end of it. And dear, young master Matcham, there is never, never any answer. - But what about his honour? - Well, that's not a word I'm accustomed to use, as I never really know what it means. It would appear that you've been seeing your aunt Frances in bath. - How did you know? - Oh, when people start talking about honour, it usually means they've done something they're ashamed of themselves. Have you been seeing your late aunt? - She's not late. She's alive and that's the trouble. - Master Matcham, you have the gift for telling a profound truth with a minimum of verbiage. Therefore, and thank god for it, you'll have no future in politics. Your aunt Frances is still alive. Tell me, when you saw her, were there any tears? - She cried the way I've never seen anyone cry before in my whole life. Not a grown up, that is. She cried from deep, deep down in herself. It was terrible. And I'll never forget it as long as I live. - You must forget it, master Matcham, for your own good and everyone else's. In fact, I urge you to obliterate the incident utterly from your touching, but as yet undeveloped mind. Forget it, master Matcham. (Lady Hamilton sings) (Crowd clamours) - I declare, look at that crowd! (Crowd clamours) Free Nelson! (Crowd clamours) - Nelson Minto, you rat. Don't desert me, come and rescue me. - And be killed for my pains? Anyway, since when did Nelson want rescuing? - You are a cowardly, treacherous speechmaker. (Crowd clamours) (Lady Hamilton laughs) (Crowd cheers) Close the door, John. - Lady Hamilton Have you kept your promise? - Did you doubt me? - That poxy admiralty, I always doubt you. Did you tell them you wouldn't go out again? - Yes, my love. And I've so displeased their lordships that perhaps I'll never be asked to go out again. - Let it be never again. - Oh, you don't mean that. I do. I do. I do. - Oh, there's little George. It's George Matcham, your nephew. Come out of there. - Oh, George Matcham. Well, I haven't seen you for a long time. - Hello, uncle. - Hello, nephew. Well, you've grown so much I didn't recognise you. Emma, pray attend to your attire. - Oh, you're such a prude, Nelson. The people out there have seen me stark naked in their day, and they love it. - These crowds are a confounded nuisance, George, and I sometimes long to walk in London unrecognised. - Perhaps, uncle Horatio, if you didn't wear all those, um, stars and decorations- - (lady Hamilton chuckles) - He got you there, Nelson. - George is right. Vanity is my traitor. - Oh no, I didn't, I didn't mean that. - Yes, you did. I may be vain in such matters, but dammit, I'd like people to know what I've done. - Yes. - Here comes Hardy. Not as soul's recognising him. He's not getting so much as a pat on the back. - Your flag captain? - Yes. Emma, I do think that your state of undress is not- - oh, I know, I know. Dressed or undressed, Hardy thinks I'm the whore of Babylon. (Lady Hamilton sings) - All right, John. It's captain Hardy. Hardy. (Crowd clamours and cheers) - Man Welcome home, your lordship. - This is my nephew, George Matcham. Captain Hardy, my right hand man. - Master Matcham? - Come in here. - Wouldn't you rather be alone? - No. - You've come from the admiralty? - Yes. - Is the news true? - Yes. - Well, when does the victory sail? - I don't doubt, captain, that you'll get your orders to sail the victory south in a few days to join admiral Collingwood's command. - Yes, my lord. - Excuse me. I have to go to her ladyship. (Glass shatters) - Forgive me, master Matcham. I've never cared for French wine. I prefer rum. Wouldn't you know it? There isn't any. What kind of an admiral's lady, is it, that doesn't keep rum? Nothing but foreign muck. Oh, here's something. Gin. A whore's drink. In the circumstances, quite suitable, don't you think? - How long have you been his flag captain? - Six years, on and off. More on than off, thank god. Now it appears to be off. - But you must know him as well as anyone alive, then. - Oh yes, I suppose I do. Well, let's say I know the man at sea. The man ashore, that seems a different matter. - In your view, captain Hardy, is a man called great for what he is, or for what he does? I mean, uh, taking Arthur, for instance- - you mean take your uncle, don't you? Your uncle is great, both in what he is and what he does. How could he have done what he has done without being what he is? - You mean winning battles? - I mean far more than winning battles. Every schoolboy knows exactly how the Nile and Copenhagen were won. But does every schoolboy know what they were won with? - Surely we have better ships than the French. - No sir, certainly not, but they are better handled. Yet what kind of men are they handled by? Four-fifths of them have been pressed, kidnapped, knocked on the head, and thrown aboard a manor wall to face a utal and degrading slavery, which they must submit to or bear their backs to the cat of nine tails. - But at the Nile, the seamen drank to Nelson. - Yes sir, to Nelson. And that is my point. - I see. - He's made these mutinous dogs love him. They beg to serve in any squadron he commands and cry like women when they hear he's wounded. Could he have done that if he hadn't been great in what he is, as well as in what he's done? - It's so difficult. Perhaps I expect a perfect hero to be a perfect Saint. - Perhaps we all do. Well, england has no need of a Saint at this hour of her history, master Matcham. But she has very dire need of a hero. Your health, sir. (Bright orchestral music) - You're not ready yet, my love? - Very nearly, my dearest. You know I always want to look my best for you, and that takes time. The carriage is at the door? Are the servants in the hall? - Si. - Then tell them to open the doors as a signal to the crowd. (Speaks in foreign language) (Bright orchestral music) - You leave Cleopatra no shades. Emma. - Oh, no more of that. I'm too arranged. - They must be coming down. (Crowd cheers) - Ah, captain Hardy, what honour you do to my house. - It is I who have that honour, lady Hamilton. (Crowd cheers) - You see how popular you have become? - I am hardly known to them, my lady. - No, but you should be, and no doubt one day will be. All about my Nelson will be known. Now, you and little George will go in the second carriage, lord Nelson and I naturally in the first. Pray leave a little distance between us. The crowd prefer it so. - Um, may I go and watch, aunt Emma? - Yes, of course, little George. (Crowd cheers) - Don't she look a sight for a widow in mourning? - Go find her, good doggy. Follow your mistress. (Women cackle) - Hooray for Nelson! Hurrah! (Crowd clamours) - They laughed. - Did they? - Yeah, they laughed. You must have heard, they laughed at Nelson. - With lady Hamilton. (Hooves clatter) (Rousing orchestral music) (Guests murmur) - Oh, ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to tell you that her ladyship has consented to give us one of her little entertainments, tonight after dinner. - Ah. - Oh, one of your attitudes, dearest Emma? - Cleopatra mourning Antony. Dear other Nelson has written some words to go with Shakespeare's version. I have composed the music myself. It's all quite new. So as you can well imagine, I'll be as nervous as a pregnant nun. (Nelson chuckles) - So perhaps if you'd all be good enough to muster in the drawing room at about seven for dinner. - Muster? You make it sound like a bloody warship. (Gentle orchestral music) Oh, it is so good to be here at paradise Merton. Our home for eternity, aye, Nelson? - I was thinking of something a little longer than eternity. (Gentle orchestral music) - Oh, you should have seen it last year and the year before. Why did I have to fall in love with a sailor? - Well, at least not one with a wife in every port. (Gentle orchestral music) Wait, together. Heave. (Gentle orchestral music) (Indistinct conversation) - Well, really, the world's greatest sailor, and what do you do? (Nelson chuckles) (Gentle orchestral music) - Well, I could hardly have wished for myself how happy I should be. - Still, exactly which is starboard and which is larboard? - Well, that depends on which way the captain is facing. - Oh, you. What hour exactly did you order us to muster? - Seven. Emma, if you could perhaps tonight be closer to the time, the last two hours. (Gentle orchestral music) - Nelson I'm glad that he's well. - Man Thank you, my lord. (Gentle orchestral music) - Francesca! (Gentle orchestral music) (Lady Hamilton laughs) Good evening. Ah, Minto. - Oh, I don't believe you've met captain Blackwood. Captain Blackwood is the captain of the frigate Euryalus, which sails tomorrow to join Collingwood off Cádiz. - I wish you a fair wind, captain. I suppose they'll make Collingwood an Earl after he fights your battle. - Will you grudge him it? - Can make him ass licker and ordinary to the king, saving your cloth, reverend, so long as I could keep my Nelson here with me. Which I intend to do, despite the underhand work of some who call him friend. - I am so looking forward, lady Hamilton, to seeing your c-c-Cleopatra. - It is my favourite part. - But of course. Emma Hamilton would have as her favourite that lass unparallelled. - Thank you, Minto. I will accept unparallelled at any hour, and after seven I'll even accept lass. (Lady Hamilton chuckles) Here's to my Antony. His legs bestride oceans, in whose livery wore crowns and crownets. - In that piece of Shakespeare, I think that her ladyship of Egypt exaggerated somewhat. - This ladyship of england exaggerates nothing. When she looks upon her great pillar of the world, she sees great Jove himself. Hey, little George. - It's a wonder she can see anything at all. - I heard that, captain Hardy. This is my house. And if I choose to toast the guest who ings such honour to its roof in what, to your puritan mind, may seem a glass too many of Brandy, I think that is my affair, not yours, don't you? - I do, my lady, indeed. It was only that my puritan mind hadn't perhaps quite grasped the fact that this was your ladyship's house. - Merton is our house, Hardy, your house, and everybody who visits it. And it's certainly Emma's. Most of all, it is Emma's. - Then if it is my house, tell that bugger to get out of it and never come back. - Captain Hardy only meant- - I know what captain Hardy meant, and so does he. He meant that I am not your wife by virtue of mother church. Well, a pox on mother church. I am by everything that this world holds just and honourable the true and only wife of this man here. - Emma, please stop. - To everyone who comes to this house. To my lord's family, huh? To my lord's friends, to my lord's servants. In fact, to the whole of england, I, Emma Hamilton, am the only wife of lord Nelson. - Excepting, I would suppose, to lady Nelson. - Hardy, that was unforgivable. - I shall leave. - No. Hardy, you will not leave, I command it. - Tell him to get out of this house now and never come back, I command you. - You command me in most things, Emma, but not in that. - Oh, indeed. Then perhaps, it is I who should leave your lordship's house. Francesca, send for my carriage at once. (Speaks in foreign language) (Lady Hamilton chuckles) - Dinner is served, my lady. - Emma, will you lead us in? - May I have the honour, my dear? - I'd like you to sit here. Oh, sit where you'd like. Sit where you'd like. - Hardy, another two ships there. Right here, gentlemen, is your battle of annihilation, our two squadrons. Isolate here and here, and destroy. That's the suggested plan of battle, Blackwood, that your frigate will carry tomorrow to admiral Collingwood. - I'm indeed most... yes, yes. Nothing less than total destruction. We must have those Frenchies in the lines stranded there forever, and Bonaparte staring at the Dover cliffs in a high old imperial rage. - Bravo, great Nelson. The immortal himself has spoke. - The immortal has spoke only ordinary common sense. You just sunk half the French fleet. - Poor ole buggers. - Hardy, what do you think of that? - It's far too risky. - Risky's the essence of every battle I've ever fought. - Of course it is. Risk is the essence of all great battles won by my Nelson. - This victory, if it is won, will not be won by your Nelson, my lady. - I am not talking to you, captain Hardy. Have you forgot? - I beg your ladyship's pardon. I had thought that a kind of peace between us had been concluded at the first course. - Never. A truce perhaps, but no more. Well, if you are going to discuss naval tactics and such like things, I shall find myself more congenial company up there. What are you standing up for? - So you think it's too risky for Collingwood? - Too risky for any admiral in the world, except one. Does your lordship know of any naval commander who would risk losing his entire fleet in a single afternoon? By following a revolutionary battle plan, conceived by a genius who has been induced to absent himself from the action? - You mean seduced, don't you, captain Hardy? Well, I don't give a eunuch's ball, saving your cloth, reverend, for what you and your fine naval friends think of me. I know you would all like to see me roasting in hell, every single one of you. Not you, dear, I like you. But let me tell you this. Nelson's vow to me is un eakable, isn't it? - Yes, it is. Hardy was not trying to make me eak it. He was merely talking about naval matters. Hardy, you haven't drank your port. - I was waiting, my lord, for the loyal toast. - Loyal what? (Lady Hamilton chuckles) - Emma? Ladies and gentlemen. - I don't drink to the court that insults you and me, you know that, Nelson. - Seems that her ladyship is going to conform to the naval custom of drinking her toast sitting down. The king. - All The king. God bless him. - Don't give a fig for that old lunatic at Windsor, or his German bitch of a queen. Here, little George, catch. A shade too much Brandy for good bowling, but I make a very handsome cricketer, aye, little George? - Emma, you will apologise to captain Hardy and captain Blackwood for what you just said about the king and the queen. - Because they have sworn a vow of loyalty to his old lunacy? - Yes. - And vows of loyalty are such sacred things, are they not? - Yes. - More sacred, I don't doubt, than vows made to certain persons in bed. Perhaps you would be happier in tomtit's bed than mine. - Emma, you're making a spectacle of yourself in front of strangers. There's nothing in the world I hate more than that. - Bugger off. - Apologise to captain Hardy and to captain Blackwood. - All right, then. Captain Blackwood, captain Hardy, I apologise. (Nelson chuckles) - You really are the most enchanting creature. - Oh, you say the prettiest things to me sometimes. Did you say such things to tomtit? - You know the answer. - Yes, I do. But I like to hear it said, so say it. - Very well. I dislike my wife and I always have. I'm sorry, Blackwood, but sometimes the truth must be spoken. - She's a cruel, vindictive shrew, obsessed with hatred of my Nelson. Nelson, tell them about that letter you had sent back to her marked, opened in error, but not read. Very well, then. If you won't, I will. Can you imagine what kind of a letter it must have been to have made my gentle-hearted Nelson send it back to its writer marked so? - Did you read this letter, my lady? - No. So dreadful was it, my Nelson would not even give it to me to read. And to think, that letter was sent dated Christmas day. - No. December the 18th. - What did he say? - He said it was dated December the 18th. - Yes. - Have you read this filthy letter? - Yes. And it wasn't filthy. Not the letter I read, anyway. - How could... Have you been seeing tomtit? - I saw her once. - George, are you a traitor? A traitor in our family, here at paradise Merton? - Come here, boy. Why did you go and see her? - Because she asked me. - Nelson And she showed you that letter? - She let me see the envelope and what was marked on it. She didn't want me to read the letter itself, but I did. Because I said you couldn't possibly have known what was written on the envelope. - And why did you say that? - Because I thought that no man could do such a cruel, dishonourable thing to his wife, least of all you. So, as I thought your honour was involved- - Jesus. - Go on. - I've read the letter, and I hoped to read the sort of letter that lady Hamilton has just spoken on. It wasn't like that at all. It was a kind letter. I don't remember all the words, but there was something about finding you a comfortable, warm house. - Go to your room. - Uncle, uncle. Please tell me that was not the letter you sent back to your wife. - Go to your room at once. Catty, take him to his room and see that he's locked in. - Yes, Horatio. - Not to his room, out of this house tonight. Send him back to his friend, the bitch woman of bath. - I still give the orders in this house, and I expect them to be obeyed. Take him to his room and lock him in. - Yes, Horatio. (Thunder rolls) - The rest of you, please go to your beds. (Rain patters) - You're not going out in this, it's pouring. - By your leave, my lady. - My lady? Are we back to that? Nelson, come back. - Come here, come away. - Nelson! Oh, Minto, what am I to do? - Do what he says. Leave him to cool his temper in the rain. And then when he comes back from his drenching, just apply the right arts. - The right arts? - When those arts fail, the world will end. - True. So they mustn't fail, must they? - They won't. - Minto, you knew me when I first met him. Was I quite such a vulgar, drunken slut? Oh, you won't answer that. Yes, your ladyship was always vulgar. Well, being a blacksmith's daughter shows. - Woman, you're talking nonsense. - You think I couldn't have turned myself into a genteel English lady? My god, who wants to be like catty Matcham? What a death in life. Nope, vulgar I always was, vulgar I will remain by choice. And now, we come to drunken. How does that compare with six years ago? - I think you drink more now and get less drunk. - You don't miss much. I drink from morning to night, no longer for my enjoyment or anyone else's, it would seem. It's from fear. Isn't that why most people drink? - Fear of losing him? - Of course. - But my dear lady, that will never happen. - You really believe that? You think I still look well enough, do I? - You look as desirable as when you sat for Romney. - Oh, don't say that, my god. I can eat flattery, but when you mention Romney, I know you're lying. - I did not say beautiful, I said desirable. - By candlelight, to a man half-blind. - By candlelight or daylight, half-blind or with both eyes clear, Nelson will always see you as Romney saw you, as his divine lady. - And how do I see myself? Answer me that. I look at myself in the morning and I think, he can't love that. Not that. And I do love him. - I think you do. - Only think? My god, I love him more than I love life. Oh, Minto, you go to him. Oh, please. He's thinking of her and that's bad. It's always bad. You go to him. - As your ladyship commands. (Thunder crashes) (Rain patters) (Wind whistles) - Nelson Have you come to plague me with questions? - Minto No. - Did you know of that letter? - No. - I wonder how many people he's told. - Does it matter? May we please take some shelter from the rain? I'm not so used to huger storms on the bay of Biscay. - Does it matter, you ask? Possibly not. The world must be on her side. A faithful and loving wife, vilely cheated by her husband, now living in loneliness and despair because that very villain who cast her off so cruelly has ibed his family and intimidated his friends to make them desert her, too. A pitiful, misused lady, flying her flag with genteel dignity in her lodgings in bath, while her besotted husband rollicks away his honour and his reputation with the mother of his bastard child. That's how the boy sees it, Minto. Why should not the world see it through his eyes, too? - The world, Horatio, is not your nephew. - I'm not at all sure that my nephew is not the world. - Young eyes usually see the truth of things through a distorting mirror, but oh, so does the world, I suppose. - I know what the world sees. Six years ago in Naples, I deserted a loyal and loving wife for the em aces of a notorious charmer. He's not leaving his wife for that woman, you said. That Emma Hamilton, who displayed herself naked at 14 Vauxhall gardens. Was sold by Greville to Hamilton to repay a bad debt, and was vetted by half the nobility and gentry in england? Do you think I didn't know how loud the laughter was? Did they laugh in the house of lords, Minto? - My lordship, they laugh easily. And if I'm to be strangled for it, I'd prefer a bit more shelter than this. (Rain patters) (Gentle string music) - Her ladyship's private signal. Not yet. You think I don't see exactly what you see? A vulgar, drunken woman throwing a fit? You think I don't wince at the stories, shudder at the language, wretch at the smell of Brandy sometimes? Do you think I'm so stupid and insensitive that I don't suffer a thousand deaths every day when I'm with Emma? Forgive me, I must walk. Go in if you want to. (Thunder crashes) I was jeered at in clergy street today. - I think I can understand why. - No, you don't. All you understand is the tragedy of a love, unsuitable to a national hero. A man who wins your victories for you. But there's no tragedy, Minto, I promise you. I'm still content with my lot and that. You can call it an obsession if you'd like, but I love her. And I want exactly who she is. Goodnight, Minto, dear friend. (Clock ticks) - I was commanded to whip my son. If I'm too cowardly, I must command you to do it. If it is not done, she will know. But you must not hope to see her tonight. (Clock ticks) The key to his room. - All right, Matcham. You go to bed. (Clock ticks) (Lock clicks) (Thunder rumbles) (Nelson clears throat) Well, am I to be the first to talk? I have nothing to say. How was lady Nelson? Unhappy? I'm sorry you should've seen it. Did she talk much about me? With love, I suppose. With noble, resigned, forgiving love. What did she say? - She said you were the kindest, gentlest soul alive. - How easy it is for her to find the right words. - And she doesn't mean them? - Oh yes, of course she means them. She has no reason to invent them. And she can write them, too, as well as speak them. For instance, George, bath, the 18th of December, 1801. My clearest husband. It is some time since I've written to you. The silence which you have imposed is more than my affection will allow. In this instance, I hope you will forgive me for not obeying you. One thing that I omitted from my letter of July, that I have now to offer you, if your accommodation is a comfortable, warm house. Do, my dear husband, let us live together. I can never be happy until this event takes place. Let everything be buried in oblivion. It will pass away like a dream. I am, most sincerely and affectionately, your wife. You see, George, I did read it. - Yes. - Aunt Frances must have done something really dreadful to you once. - George What? - She wrote that letter. Perhaps you'll understand better one day. - George No, I'll never understand it. Never! It was a kind, loving letter. - Many cruel acts are done out of love and kindness. Perhaps most, George. Oh, dear god. Must I explain? - Yes, you must. - Is it so important to you? - The most important thing on earth. - Very well, I'll try. But it won't save my honour that you guard so carefully. - Oh, don't make fun of that. - I won't. George, when you have done wrong to someone, an open wrong, a shameful wrong, to be forgiven for it is the very hell. What do you do about an enemy who won't hate you? That answers every oadside with a signal gently fluttering from the mast that says, whatever you do to me, I shall always forgive you, and I will go on loving you forever? And that's the truth, George. - But why must she be an enemy? - Because she declared war. How? - She made me choose. - But that's not war. - It was to me. Anyway, don't think I resent your alliance with her. - There's no alliance. I must take your side. - Why? Now you know what a shameful fellow I am. - Because you're Nelson. - Well, here's your first lesson in a long and difficult course. Human love and human hate. It's a complex study for anyone, and I never went to school, but did you understand any of it? - No. - Well, you're in good company. Now, if you'll oblige me with the use of your pillow. Could I ask you for a little cooperation? A yelp or two might be of service. Well, very well. Now let this be a lesson to you, sir, that you'll never forget. I'll have no more treachery under this roof. You have both insulted me and gravely offended lady Hamilton. Goodnight, George. - Goodnight, uncle. - Perhaps one day we'll both understand. - You didn't hurt him too much, did you? - I don't know, but I have certainly hurt him. - And yourself, too. Oh my Nelson, I do shame you sometimes. The culprit most humbly begs your forgiveness. (Nelson chuckles) - Emma, there's no one here. - Your Emma has most grievously offended, and does most humbly submit herself to your lordship's great will. - You know my will. Whether it's great or not is another matter, but it's certainly unquenchable. - I was very bad, wasn't I? - It's forgotten. - Did I really call Hardy a bugger? - You did. Let's hope inaccurately. (Lady Hamilton giggles) - Oh, I will behave better, I promise. I will, I will. My heaven, you're soaking. A glass of Brandy. - Emma's sovereign cure for all ills. - Oh, Nelson. I was so afraid tonight that I would lose you. - Never. Not 'til death. - Who shall we drink to? - Let's drink. To Emma and her Nelson. (Metal clinks) - Ooh, you've spoiled your pretty plan. - Yes. - What a shame. I had intended keeping the table laid exactly like this to show visitors how Nelson won his battle of Cádiz. - You mean how Collingwood won Nelson's battle of Cádiz? - I said how Nelson won it. - Emma, I did not ask- - no, but you were going to. - No, you're wrong. I would never, never have asked. - Well, you'd have called me my lady a little more often, or perhaps discovered you wanted to walk out of the house alone in the rain as the time of the battle drew nearer. I love my Nelson, but I love all of him. I don't want half of him, with the better half pining to be out at sea. - Nelson Has Hardy been talking to you tonight? - That person, I would not soil my lips. - Emma? - And it's not only that feeling, Nelson. I wouldn't want to be thought of as the woman who kept you from going out when your country needed you. It is my country, too, you know. - So you, too, think I'm needed? - There is only one Nelson in the whole world, and he is mine and mine alone. - Yes, yours alone. - Mine to keep and mine to give. Promise me one thing. This time, take care. Don't leave your Emma alone and deserted. - I'll do everything in my power to see that you are not alone and deserted. And this I solemnly vow, before god. - Well, you're very good with vows, and you do your best to keep them. Where will the victory be? Here, I suppose. - I think it's better to leave the disposition to me. Otherwise, you'll have sunk half the fleet before I've had time to engage the enemy. - It will be another victory, won't it? - Nelson Yes. - A big one? - A very big one. (Gentle orchestral music) (Rousing orchestral music) When they see our masts coming over the horizon, they'll see what think is our line of sail. I'll hoist no signal that betrays them. It's also our line of battle, except one. A little signal to amuse the fleet. (Whistle blows) - You'll excuse us, gentlemen, but the order's been sounded to prepare ship for action. - Well, gentlemen, I think that's all. You better rejoin your ships. - There is one question, my lord. At our conference last night, you agreed, did you not, that the victory should not be the first into battle? - Villeneuve flies his flag on the Bucentaure. According to the rules of the search, he's my prize, nobody else's. I take it we're all agreed on that? - The enemy is sighted, my lord. - Good gentlemen, to business. May god bless our endeavours. (Whistle blows) Captain? - Yes, my lord. - For five hours, I've watched you trying to pass me in your damn temeraire. When we come to battle, I'll thank you to keep to your proper state. - Yes, my lord, what is that? - Behind me. (Seamen shout orders) (Rousing orchestral music) - Fresh beef after battle, eh? (Rousing orchestral music) (Seamen shout orders) - Heave, heave! (Water sloshes) (Speaks in foreign language) (Seamen shout orders) (Rousing orchestral music) (Speaks in French) - England expects that every man will do his duty. (Rousing orchestral music) (Water sloshes) _ my great god whom I worship, Grant my country and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory. May no misconduct in anyone tarnish it. May humanity after victory be the predominant feature of the British fleet. For myself individually, I commit my life to him who made me, and may his blessing lie on my endeavours to serve my country faithfully. To him, I resign myself and the just cause, which has been entrusted to me to defend. Amen, amen, amen. Blackwood, why aren't you aboard your ship? - I stayed, my lord, in case you should, after all, decide to fly your flag in a frigate. - I beg my pardon, my lord? The frigate was for Collingwood. You better get on board yours and carry over. - My lord, will you please reconsider? The victory, if she is first into battle, will have the weight of four enemy battleships against her, alone and unsupported. - You make it four to you, I make it five. - Will you at least keep your personal promise to me and wear a plain coat? - I see you presume to send for it. - May I assist your lordship into it? - Don't you trust me, Hardy? - No, my lord. - Well, since you and Blackwood are so conveniently here, I'd like you to attest to my signature on this document. There's no necessity for you to read it, but in case we are burnt or sunk, I better give you the gist of it. Now this document clearly leaves lady Hamilton, I'll read you the last paragraph. I leave Emma lady Hamilton, therefore a legacy to my king and country, that they will give her an ample provision to maintain her rank in life. Now, if you'd sign it just here. (Unintelligible) Thank you, gentlemen. All right. Goodbye, Blackwood. - Goodbye, my lord. And may I wish your lordship a most complete and crushing victory ever won. - Well, if it's to be, it'll be no more than I've planned. But god will decide all. Thank you, gentlemen. (Whistle blows) (Seamen shout orders) (Rousing orchestral music) (Seamen shout orders) (Rousing orchestral music) (Seamen shout orders) (Speaks in French) (Cannons blast) - Stockings and shoes for the battle. Mr. Pavel. Easier for the surgeons (cannons blast) (Sailor shouts orders) - Yes. Do you see how careless I've become? - I'll send a midshipman to your cabin. - I think the time has passed for changing clothes. (Cannons blast) (Wood splinters) It's bad gunnery. They'll be firing at each other next. It'll be some time before we can open fire, so shall we continue our walk? (Cannons blast) (Explosions whistle and blast) (Man screams) (Rousing band music) - When we come to it, louder than the guns, Mr. McKillop. - I beg your lordship's pardon? - I said, when we come to it, louder than the guns, Mr. McKillop.' (rousing band music) (Cannons blast) - Sailor Prepare all decks for close action. Report when ready. - Sailor Starboard gun deck, ready. - Sailor Middle gun deck, ready. - Upper gun deck ready, sir. - All guns ready, sir. (Cannons blast) - Sink me a ship, master gunner. - Aye-aye, sir. (Man screams) Fire! (Cannons blast) Fire! (Cannons blast) (Seamen shout orders) (Wood crashes) (Cannons blast) (Men scream) (Cannons blast) (Cannons blast) (Seamen shout orders) (De is clatters) (Seamen shout orders) (Cannons blast) (Rousing band music) (Wood splinters) - Justin? - Lord. - Take a party and man the tiller. Make a signal to the fleet. Engage the enemy more closely. - Sailor Aye-aye, my lord. (Cannons blast) (Shouts in French) (Cannons blast) (Men scream) (Cannons blast) (Cannons blast) - Warm work, Hardy. (Cannons blast) (Seamen shout orders) (Cannons blast) (Gunshot blasts) (Dramatic orchestral music) (Water splashes) They've done for me at last, Hardy. - No, no. - Yes. My backbone is shot through. Best cover these up. The man must know that plain coat might've been... (Cannons blast) - Cover him and take him below. (Cannons blast) Back to the guns. Look lively! (Cannons blast) (Seamen shout orders) (Cannons blast) (Seamen shout orders) (Fire crackles) - I'm done for, doctor. You may save other lives. Just send for captain Hardy. - He's here, my lord. - Hardy. How goes it, Hardy? - The Bucentaure has surrendered. - We've captured Villeneuve? Tell Collingwood to treat him well. He, he has been a most gallant enemy. I would've enjoyed Villeneuve as my guest at dinner tonight. What of the other enemy ships? - I can't tell your lordship exactly how many prizes we've taken, but I can answer for 15 of their larger ships. - I'd bargained 20. No British ship struck or sunk? - No, my lord. It is the greatest and most complete victory ever won at sea. - That's good, of course, but I had bargained for 20. Hardy. Thank god I've done my duty, for which more, much more than you will ever know, you should thank my darling Emma. It's difficult to see you. Kiss me. I've not ever been too great a sinner. Too great. (Hardy quietly sobs) (Hooves clatter) - I have been entrusted with dispatches, which I have ought by the fastest frigate in our fleet. And so, my lady, as I have not yet reported to the admiralty, you are the first person in england to hear the news of this great victory at Trafalgar. It was what he sought, my lady, the utter and complete annihilation of the enemy fleet. His plan worked, as he knew it would. It worked as well as he could ever have wished. Forgive me, my lady, I have more to tell. - I know you have, captain. I know what other news you are bearing to the admiralty. How? Who has told you? - No one has told me, for no one needed to. I knew when he left I would not see him again alive. How else, if you are Nelson, can you leave this life, except at the moment of your greatest triumph? Did he suffer much pain? - Some, but not much. Of that, I can assure your ladyship. I was with him at the end. - Did he speak of me? - He spoke of little else. - You're not inventing that to be kind? - No, my lady. I would never do that. - No, you would not. Some other messenger might, but not you. I must not detain you, captain, from taking your great news to the admiralty. It was kind of you to eak your journey at Merton. Forgive me if I do not see you to the door. - Messenger To the right honourable viscountess Nelson. Madam, it is with utmost concern that in the midst of victory at Trafalgar, I have to inform your ladyship of the death of your illustrious partner, lord viscount Nelson. It is the death he wished for and the less to be regretted on that account. But the public loss is irretrievable. I can only add that events of this kind do not happen by chance. - No, not by chance. - Messenger I commend, therefore, your ladyship, to the protection of almighty god. And since... (Bell tolls) - Francesca Lady Hamilton, she says she will see you. But please, oh please, lady Nelson, it would be so kind if you go. For a whole week, she's not well. Not see visitors. - Lady Nelson? Lady Nelson. Or is it countess? I hear they've made him an Earl after his death. Anyway, this is indeed an unexpected pleasure. Pray forgive the attire. It was all I could find in my wardrobe of mourning. I never could abide black. - Lady Hamilton, I have come for one purpose only, to ing you some news that you may, in your grief, find of some comfort. - My grief? What about yours? - It can hardly be as great. Six years is a long enough time to grow accustomed to a loss. - You never did lose him. Never did quite lose him. Didn't you know that? - I would ask your ladyship, your countess-ship. Oh, and I did so want to be a countess. I'm a snob, you see. I always have been. I would invite you into my drawing room had the creditors not already taken out all the furniture, but if your ladyship should require refreshment- - no, I thank you. - Well, you will forgive this ladyship. (Bell tolls) Oh, why don't they stop ringing that bell? They've been ringing it day and night. I suppose they think my Nelson... Oh, sorry, our Nelson will hear it as he rolls about in that barrel of Brandy they're inging him home in. Brandy, you know, is the best preservative for the dead. - But is it for the living? - Oh, I applaud your ladyship's wit, but I am not living. What is your comforting news? - My husband's will has arrived. - Ah. - Lady Nelson - In it, of course, you were left this house. - And contents. It had better be. There aren't any left anyway, and the house is buried in mortgages. - Yes, that is known. But this document should repair all, much more than all. - How can that be? He had nothing to leave but his stars and medals. - This codicil, duly signed, attested, and perfectly legal, requests that your king and country should give you ample provision to maintain your rank in life, and leaves you, Emma lady Hamilton, as a bequest to the nation. (Lady Hamilton laughs) - A bequest to the nation? Me? (Lady Hamilton laughs) I'll die on this. Can you just see me, in Westminster hall, on a plin? Or at Windsor sitting on the throne between the king and queen, with a plaque saying, here sits Emma Hamilton, the late lord Nelson's whore. My poor Nelson, what a baby he was. Did he really think there would be the slightest chance? - I give you my word that I personally will do everything in my power to see that my lord's last wishes are met. - I believe you will. I can't think why. If it were me, I'd have torn that thing up. - I don't think so. Nothing I have heard about you has indicated anything but the most wide and generous nature. - Wide and generous? A whore, that's all. A whore who stole your husband. - My husband left my bed for yours. He was bound to leave it one day for somebody's. I've understood that for a long time now. But why should we quarrel because the bed happened to be yours? - You must have hated me, didn't you? - Yes, just as you hated me. - (Lady Hamilton sighs) - You're a good woman. And the good has triumphed at last. - Is there any triumph for either of us? What will happen to you? - Well, debtors' prisons aren't that uncomfortable these days. There's always this. I might even cheat my creditors. It'd be a race anyway. Let me keep this. Could always sell the signature. I wonder, lady Nelson, as a matter of idle curiosity, which of us will be the better remembered 100 years from now? You, I suppose. I'll just be the figure of fun. Well, the figure of fun is going back to her bed. Oh, why don't they stop that bloody bell? - Can I, I help you? - No. Thank you for coming down. I mean that. Oh, Jesus. You know, he very nearly didn't come to Naples at all. Then I'd never have met him. His first orders were for Gi altar. It's a funny world, isn't it? (Whistle blows) (Birds caw) (Whistle blows) - Sailor Stand by. (Rousing orchestral music)
Jeffrey Turnell You got a few minutes? Parker Schnabel What's up? Jeff Well, my biggest thing is, you know, we're getting pretty late into this trip. We've seen some pretty good stuff, but, uh, we haven't jumped on anything yet. And it's, uh, got me kinda worried. Your season's coming pretty fast. Daniel Etheridge Listen, the thing is, man, the reality is, you still haven't actually chosen what type of plant you want. We should probably be at that stage by now. If I knew which one I want, we wouldn't be in the bleep country. That's why we're on this trip. Dan Oh, I know it is, but... ...we're quite a long way into it. Surely, like, if you can make that decision, then we can move on to the next step and, like, get the ball rolling, right? I'm leaving. Don't tell me what to bleep do, Danny. opening theme music playing 5 days of Hacking / Camping / Lectures Join May Contain MCH2022.org This is the most time I've ever spent anywhere that was, like, next to the open ocean. Yeah, Alaska's all, like, inner coast, you know, like, inlets and fjords. narrator Nine years ago, Parker Schnabel left his grandpa's claim in Alaska to find big gold in the Yukon. Parker 3,362. - all cheering - man Good job, buddy. narrator Now, after mining over $70 million in gold, he's betting his fortune and reputation on a new venture back home in Alaska. It's a weird point where... you have to decide to quit while you're ahead, or do you double down and get lean and mean? And that starts with a wash plant. You know, wash plant's the heart of your operation. Are we gonna go visit our favorite South African today? You know shaker decks inside out, so why do you wanna see this one? I'd like to cut... talk myself out of a trommel if I could, because they're more complicated than a screen deck is. narrator After four weeks searching for the perfect plant in New Zealand, Parker still hasn't pulled the trigger. Fairbanks is gonna be full of a whole lot of surprises, lots of clay, lots of very difficult-to-recover gold. And, you know, to buy the wash plant that can deal with all of that, be... hype production, and be portable... ...you know, it's a huge challenge. narrator So far, Parker has looked exclusively at trommels, known for their ability to handle clay-laden ground. This sets a very high standard for what we're looking for. narrator But... - Oh, bleep. You've got two more plants running here. - Louis Nel Yeah. narrator ...after spotting a shaker deck at miner Louis Nel's, Parker is wavering. I think we should come back. I'd like to see a screen deck. You and I both know screens inside and out. Parker really likes shaker decks. But, if he starts to sort of change his mind about the way he wants to mine Alaska now, it will be quite a big U-turn. And that could have ramifications down the line. narrator The team are returning to Louis Nel's gold-rich, 500-acre claim near Ruatapu. All right. Let's go find Louis. man You guys see what I'm saying? - Louis speaking - Parker Yeah, yeah. - Tyler Mahoney Hi, Louis. - Louis speaking - Tyler Yes. - Louis Good. Parker I know, we just couldn't resist coming back and checking out - some of your other wash plants. - Louis Oh? - You got so many of them running around here. - Louis laughs Louis speaking narrator Kiwi miners favor trommels to process the country's clay-ridden pay. Louis is the only miner they've met who uses a shaker deck. Parker Our screen decks in the Yukon have gotten pretty, like, specialized and they're all very similar, and I wanna see if you've done anything different. - Mind if I hop up there and check it out? - Louis speaking narrator Shaker decks are renowned for their durability and compact design. Spray bars mounted on the vi ating decks wash the gold from the rocks, which is then sorted through a series of screens. Shakers often struggle to wash sticky clay. And tailings can be expelled before all the gold has been recovered. Louis speaking Parker Right. Well, there's no way to see them run like running them yourself. Do you mind if I hop in there? It sounds like they probably use this for mostly, for like, material that's pretty easy to wash. - Cleaner material. - Yeah, but once I get in the hoe here, I've gotta run and get in, but ask him about if they'll send a couple loads - of the dirtier clay stuff. - See what it does? Yeah. He might not want to, but ask him. Jeff Yeah. No, I'll ask him for sure. I know Parker's got some ground, you know, in Alaska and it's got clay in it, and I was curious if maybe we can run some ground through here - with a bit of clay in it. - Louis Yep. Perfect, well, we'll let him run this and we'll go grab some. Yeah. If you're on ground that's difficult to wash, then everybody's gonna say, Get a trommel. But, screen decks are what we know. A lot of our parts would be... interchangeable, but ultimately gold recovery has to overshadow those things. You know, the ground in Fairbanks, there is one spot where we hit this, like, kind of a false bedrock layer with quite a bit of gold in it. And that was, like, really sticky, nasty clay. And recovery with a screen deck is gonna suffer. You know, you get a lot more bang for your buck in terms of yards an hour our of a screen cage, too, like, the equivalent size screen versus a trommel, is a huge factor difference. Jeff So, this material down here is the closest I think we're gonna get - to the ground of Parker's up in Alaska. - Louis Yeah. Jeff Can we take some of this and run it through the shaker? Perfect. Jeff Oh, yeah. Perfect. There's the good stuff. Right on. Jeff on radio Hey, uh, Parker. Um, I've got some, uh, ground from the, uh, bottom pit there. Do you wanna start running that through now, we'll start doing a bit of, uh, tests, see how it does? Copy that. narrator Parker has just three weeks left to find the perfect plant and ship it home in time for the start of Alaska's mining season. Tyler Starting to feel a little bit of pressure, so is Jeff, so is Danny. We don't have time to waste. If Parker wants to start mining in Alaska this year, he has to start making some big decisions and ASAP, and he's just not doing that. I'm just hoping that after today, we can at least narrow it down in some way or another. Dan This place is the best opportunity to make some decisions about what the wash plant is. So if we can't, then I think we've got problems. Or Parker has problems. Tyler Danny! Danny, come look at this. - Come here! - Dan What is it? - Dan Gold? - No, look at it. - Tyler It's... how do you say it? Pounamu? - Louis speaking - Dan Oh, wow. - Tyler How stunning is that? Dan That's quite a lump, huh? - Louis Yeah. - Tyler It's huge. Dan What's the deal with that? Is that a little, - a little bobby bonus, Louis? - No. Louis speaking Dan Oh, wow. Does it mean a lot to them? Louis speaking - Dan Oh, gotcha. - Yeah. Dan So are you taking it back to him now, is that what the... Dan Yeah. Tyler I can take it if you want. You're busy with the... I can do it. - Tyler Yay. Dan, you wanna come? - Dan Yeah. - Nice. - Dan Go ahead, grab it. - Louis speaking - Dan How heavy is it? - Tyler It's bleep. - Louis speaking Dan laughs - laughing Oh, my God. - Louis speaking - Dan Don't bleep drop that. Is it heavy? - bleep heavy. Dan Are they gonna be, like, super pleased to see this, Louis? - Dan Oh, really? - Yeah. Dan Is that worth, is that worth a few quid? Tyler Like, thousands? Louis speaking Yeah, okay. - Dan All right. - Let's do it. Hit the road. Tyler I'm excited. What a nice little adventure. narrator Sacred to the Maori people, the green stone gives the South Island its name, Te Waipounamu, the place of pounamu. In 1997, the government decreed it was owned by the Maori and any found must be returned to them. Dan This the right way? Tyler So, it's down this road. I think that's gonna be a hill coming up, we're gonna head down it. Dan Wow, we are out in it. - Look at that. - We are in the sticks. narrator Tyler and Danny head deep into the Kaimata River valley to locate Maori pounamu hunter Te Rua. Dan speaking - ake clicks - Dan All right. - Tyler A bit eerie. laughs - Dan A little bit. Hello? Te Rua? Hello? This is a bit small, but... ...it's a nice little plant. I'd like to make it work. narrator At Louis Nel's, Parker is running a test to determine if the shaker deck can recover gold from clay-ridden pay. On Indian River, we usually don't run into too much, like, really sticky material, but... ...it's like this kind of stuff when we do, springs don't like it much. Jeff I'd like to see what the tailings look like, coming off the end of the conveyor. Then we'll know if it's working or not. There's quite a bit of, uh, grit left on there. This is what happens when, uh, we're not getting a good enough wash. Um, it actually leaves material behind on these. And over a course of a day, that's quite a bit of material you're losing, so you could lose a lot of gold. Parker If you can get the material washed, screens are the way to go. narrator Parker Schnabel and wash plant engineer Jeff Turnell are testing a shaker deck to see if can process clay-ridden pay. But so far, the results aren't good. Been watching the material go through. And, you know, there's a few rocks with a bit of, uh, material still left on them. And, obviously, you know, over a course of a day, that's... ...possibly a bit of a loss, right? - Well, the problem is on bedrock. - Mmm-hmm. That's where the gold's sitting, right? Jeff Kinda had a look at the machine, and I think I can come up with a bit of a concept to get a little bit more wash up top. See if we can eliminate some of this, just to see. - That's why we're here, man. Try bleep out. - Yeah. I personally like shaker decks more than trommels. And I know Parker really does like shaker decks. So I think if I can prove to him that it can wash that material as well, then he might consider it. Louis speaking Jeff speaking narrator Louis's shaker has a series of spray bars that loosens pay from the rocks. Jeff plans to add a pre-wash with much higher pressure, that should eak up the clay and wash the rocks clean. The thought process is that... ...if you can get the material washed before it gets to the screen deck, then the screen deck is just classifying the material. And so what Jeff's talking about doing, is a very valid experiment to be running. Jeff All right, so, an inch and a half hose, that's kinda the first thing I'm looking for. - Jeff You have some hose? - Louis speaking narrator Short on time, Jeff must improvise. Louis speaking Jeff Um, do you have any nozzles or any pipe fittings or anything? Louis speaking Jeff That'll work. Can I bend this up a little bit? Parker's ought me here to be his wash plant guy. If we go through this trip and we don't find what Parker's looking for, it's a ton of pressure. It adds a lot of pressure. Let's try that. Fit in there. Jeff Yeah, I mean, it's not ideal, but I just wanna show Parker that if we get a little bit more pressure - in there, a little more water volume. - Yeah. - It will, uh, it will help. Yeah. - indistinct Maybe we'll be able to shoot Parker from here. laughs Jeff Perfect. Tyler Hello? Te Rua? narrator 30 miles from Louis's claim, on the banks of the Kaimata River, Tyler and Danny search for pounamu hunter Te Rua. Look, there he is, down there. Dan Oh, yeah. - Tyler Hello. - Te Rua Mason in Maori Greetings. - I'm Tyler. - in English Te Rua. You can call me T. - Tyler Nice to meet you, T. - That's what I'm told. The reason we're actually here is because we found - a quite impressive pounamu stone. - Te Rua Oh, yeah? I'll be willing to receive it on behalf of our people. Tyler What is it about pounamu? 'Cause it has such a strong connection to your culture, doesn't it? Pounamu is, um, ought through all of our histories. We started as a nomadic people, a lot of heirlooms have been passed down, are all created out of pounamu, and was all, um, transferred of that energy through the pounamu, handed down from generation to generation to generation, to, uh, where we are here today. And your tattoos are impressive. - Yes, they are, thank you. - Must be a lot of meaning behind them. My facial one talks about, um, our family connection to the pounamu. - Wow. - Te Rua Um, so. - Dan Can we show it to you, then? - Yeah. Tyler So, it's just here. - Is that a good sized one? - Te Rua Yeah, that's nice pounamu. On behalf of our people, I'd like to thank you very much. Tyler Thank you. It'd be cool while we're here, we actually got to go prospecting for pounamu. - Would that be possible? - Yeah, I think so. It's a good day for it. Dan How do you come upon it? Te Rua You're looking for those splashes of green, where somebody's just got a paint ush and just flicked it. But, you know, without it being a hocus-pocus sort of story, it's, uh, sort of like love. Some people can search for it their whole life and they'll never understand what it's about. But when looking for a piece of pounamu, once you find it, there's a connection between you and the stone. It's just something that's meant to be. Is it true that pounamu and gold are found together often? Te Rua Uh, that seems to be the way. Tyler Do you mind, actually, if I get my metal detector out and have a prospect for gold? I think it'll be a perfect opportunity. Dan and Tyler Cool. Tyler All right, I'm gonna turn this on. metal detector beeping Well, just make your way up around here and you can have a bit of a hunt. You might get lucky. Tyler Awesome, I'll follow your lead. This will be cool if we could find some gold and some pounamu. narrator Gold and pounamu formed around the fault line between tectonic plates. When these collided to create the Southern Alps, the gold and pounamu were also pushed up. Since then, glaciers have plucked both from the rocks, carrying them down to the rivers together. Tyler So when the big floods come through, - it must just refresh it all. - Te Rua Yup, refreshes it, start again. Tyler So after big rains, you guys tend to come down? - Te Rua Definitely. - Tyler Do you ring the boss up and say, I'm not going to work, I'm going hunting? Te Rua Well, no, I tell the boss that I'm sick. Tyler Yeah. laughs - metal detector beeping - Tyler Oh. Tyler Oh, goodness, I've actually got a signal. Well, I didn't think we're in nugget country. - Do people find nuggets here? - Te Rua We're in nugget country. - Are we? - Te Rua Yes, we are. Tyler We'll just scrape it. - Dan Oh, bleep. - Te Rua Oh, there it is, eh? Tyler laughing What is that? It's like an anchor or something. Okay, I'm just gonna have a eak from that. I wanna concentrate on the pounamu, I can't do two things at... oh! Oh, that's a leaf. Jeff Big plan here is to make sure that the material comes out a lot more clean. Hopefully it works for Parker. narrator To find out if the shaker deck can process clay, Jeff is rigging a pre-wash system using a high-pressure water jet. Parker I'm actually really torn about screen decks versus trommels, because screens, to me, are more simple and easier to work on. And those are two of the biggest factors that we need to consider. narrator To clean the sticky clay, the jet must hit the rocks with a force of 50 psi. Jeff That's not gonna be enough pressure. I was hoping for, like, a bleep jet, not like a piss stream. Nice try, Jeff. Jeff Oh, what a pain. Looks like they have some real water problems. Parker I get what Jeff is trying to do. But you just can't do that with a garden hose. Jeff Brought in the reinforcements. Once we ran the hose to the top there just wasn't enough pressure, so Plan B. narrator Jeff's called in Louis's water truck, equipped with a high pressure pump. Jeff There we go. Yeah. narrator Proof of the test's success will be in the tailings. Parker The biggest problem we've got right now is we're up against it for time. Like, if we don't find a plant in-country to buy, that we can move to Fairbanks in time, it's gonna be a disaster. Tyler I guess once you have an eye for it, - Tyler it becomes a lot easier. - Te Rua Yep. Te Rua It's about having an eye in. It takes people their whole life to sometimes get their eye, some don't even get it. narrator At the foot of New Zealand's Southern Alps, Te Rua, Tyler and Danny are hunting for valuable green stone. Te Rua Even if you don't find anything, it's just beautiful being out here and listening to the... listening to the sounds of the water. Um... Tyler You sound a lot like my dad. He always says when you're out wandering in the bush and just enjoying the nature and everything, that's when you come across gold. Exactly the same with the pounamu. You've gotta be like water. You gotta become it. And so, the particular sort of stone that we're looking for is, um, is either gonna be a beautiful dock leaf green or it's gonna be a chalky white. - That's chalky. - Te Rua Yep, now you're getting your eye. Te Rua You're getting closer. You're getting closer. But that's not quite chalky enough. No, that's not chalky enough. That speckled look isn't it, is it? Te Rua No, no. That's, that's not it. Tyler This is kind of chalky. It's a bit big, isn't it? Te Rua Yep, you wanna know what color? That's exactly what we're looking for right there. No bleep way! That's exactly what we're looking for right there. - Tyler Oh, my bleep That's green. - Te Rua Yes. Tyler Oh, my bleep. Te Rua So that's, that's the white, that's the, um, the smoothness and that chalkiness right there that we're talking about. - Tyler exclaims - Danny That's white. - Te Rua We're in the money. - Tyler It's huge! When whenever we find a smaller one, we always look around and ask ourselves, Where's your big other or something? Oh, yeah. - Te Rua But, um... - Tyler Surely this is as big as they get. Te Rua It looks like we found the big other. - laughs - Te Rua Um... Tyler So how much is it worth? In this instance, uh, we're looking at a couple hundred pound, easy. That could range anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 raw. - Far out. - Te Rua Yeah. narrator Worth up to $10,000 US dollars, the pounamu is carved into unique pieces of jewelry by Te Rua's tribe, potentially tripling its value. I think the best way to acknowledge this, it's just, uh, it's just to give thanks to this place here. speaks in Maori I'd like to give you a hongi, Tyler. So when we have a hongi... So it's just, uh, a light touching of the nose and of our foreheads. And just a slight inhaling, just through the nose, the eath of life. - Tyler Okay. Perfect. - speaks in Maori Te Rua speaks Maori Parker Yeah. narrator Before Parker can decide if Louis' shaker deck is the one, he needs to see if Jeff's bush fix successfully washed away the clay. Jeff As you can see they're definitely a lot cleaner. - The task did work. - Parker Sweet. And obviously in a perfect world, we'd do a few modifications to make that a lot better, but it, uh, gets the concept across. I mean, It does make me start to lean towards a screen a bit more because you can get the throughput in a smaller footprint, you know. - Yep. - Trommels are bleep huge to get a 180 or more yards an hour - out of. - They are. If you can combine the wash that you get out of trommel with a screen deck by just hammering water to it, you're getting all that bleep oken up. You get the throughput of a screen deck with the wash of a trommel... Sounds like a win-win. Yeah, the problem is we're not gonna - find that plant for sale. - No. So we might still be better off getting something that works that's in time, rather than what's perfect. - Right? - Jeff Hmm-mmm. If Parker bought this shaker deck here, he would have to do quite a bit of modifications to make it work for his ground. So I'm not sure whether or not he's decided himself whether he wants a trommel or a shaker deck. I came on this trip thinking that while it's a good thing that there's lots of trommels in New Zealand 'cause I want a trommel and now I'm like maybe we want a screen deck. If I was forced to make a decision today, I'd be like... screen deck. But yesterday, I was trying to buy a trommel. We've got still a few other sites and plants to look at, but I've got your number. Thanks for everything. - Really appreciate it. - Jeff Thanks, Louis. That was awesome Thanks for letting me do those tests. We better go find, um, Old Danny and Tyler. The worst decision that I could possibly make is no decision. Can't bleep stand indecision. Danny laughs mimics honking Jeff Did you ing beer? dramatic music playing It's getting dark. narrator With the sun setting, the team head to a nearby farm. - Tyler Hello! - How is it going? man Where are you all going? Uh, well, we were actually just looking for a place to camp. Oh, yeah. I could put you somewhere where you can go for a camp for the night. - man Now, if you wanna follow me. - Thank you. - Or he's taking us to a place to kill us all. - Jeff laughing - Jeff I think it's a puzzle. - Parker, could you please not do this to me 'cause I have anxiety about being murdered - Do you? - Tyler Yes. - Well, this is how it happens, okay? - Oh, definitely. Jeff You could get buried out here and you'd have no idea. Tyler Guys, this is textbook Wolf Creek Murder. The cows will leave you alone, but, other than that, try and keep warm and... Yeah. Where should we set up camp? Jeff Tyler, I put a wrench in the back of the seat on your side. Can you just see if you can grab that? - Tyler screams - laughs - Tyler laughs - all laughing - Jeff That was, that was... - Tyler laughing Jeff That was good. Tyler giggling bleep I weed myself. Danny Ah! Jeff You landed in cow bleep and then peed yourself. Oh, wow. Tyler Today it was really nice that Danny and I got to split away from that wash plant talk and go and do something different. Um, and I kind of feel like it refreshed the team once we do get back together, but... to be honest though, I was hoping that we'd leave Louis Nel's for the final time with a really clear direction. Parker's gonna still humming and hawing whether it's a trommel or it's a shaker. And personally, it's starting to stress me out. Um, 'cause I've never really seen Parker like this. The Parker I know is fiercely... fierce with his decision making. He's hard and fast. He knows what he wants. We're gonna have to wait to see what he... wait to see what he does. Hopefully it's not too late. Parker Where we're off to, then, Tyler? Tyler Um, so we're gonna see a wash plant for sale. It's Groundhog Day. narrator With only seven weeks until the start of the season, Parker is still undecided on a wash plant for his new Alaskan venture. Now we're chewing through these viewings now. And it's not really about quantity as much as it is quality. Well, yeah, but I think it's fair to say there was a fair bit of quality at Louis Nel's. I am worried that it doesn't really get better than Louis Nel's. So just a head's up, Parker, around here it's gonna be slim pickings. Anything special about this one we're gonna see. I think it's got hydraulic legs. - Is it another trommel? - Tyler Another trommel. We have seen a lot of trommels now. There's just not a lot of shaker decks. Have you thought anymore about that, Parker? Yeah, I've thought about it. narrator From Ruatapu, Tyler's final plant on the West Coast is 18 miles northeast, near the historic goldmining town of Kumara. - Tyler Hello! - TC Hello. Nice to meet you. - What's your name? - Thomas, but everyone calls me TC. - How long have you worked here? - TC A year and a half. - Parker What did you do before that? - Coal mining. Big tractors. Uh, the head of big tractor up there are 475. - But you didn't get to use it. - No, unfortunately I wasn't that age yet at 50. - Some old grumpy guy got to run the 475, right? - TC Yep. TC But you're not old and grumpy, right? Are you? - I don't run a tractor. - TC No. TC laughs Is there a lot of gold in this ground? TC Ah, there is a bit, yeah. We've, um, we come across a lot up against the road edge there. It's a bit, it's a bit deeper than we like to do normally. Parker Right. - But, um... - Danny Tell me you've just told us more about how much gold you're catching than all the other miners combined - that we've filmed since being in New Zealand. - Danny laughs - I didn't tell you how much. - Danny laughs - Danny You've said a lot. - Parker You're making him really nervous. all laughing I spoke to your boss on the phone and he said this was for sale. Sure is. - How old is it? - It's same as for your dash. I'll say that much. TC But so we catch this gold, so... - Parker That's what matters, right? - TC Exactly. - Parker Moves pretty easily. - Pretty mobile, yeah. - Parker Yeah? - Hydraulic legs, right? TC Yeah, they make it really easy to level. Good stuff. narrator Parker needs a wash plant that is mobile for his claim in Alaska. This 20-ton trommel has a price tag of $190,000. Built on skids for maximum movability. It's USP is four hydraulic legs to level the plant easily and quickly. But, like, if you're gonna see it running, we gotta move it. - All right, well, can we give you a hand? - TC Yeah. All right, sweet. One thing that Parker wanted to see a lot of was mobility. This is good because we get to see it moving and the fact it's got the hydraulics on the bottom of it is a plus. The only problem is it's got a heavy stacker on it, so when we turn it we have to try stop it from, uh, falling over. Oh, no. - I'll give you the nice new one. - Parker laughs - Parker Well, we'll see what happens. - TC Yeah. beep Tyler I've seen a couple plant moves. But they always make me a little bit nervous, you know. There's a lot that could go wrong. It's a heavy thing to be moving around and there's a lot of parts coming off of it and stuff. And especially, when you need two diggers to move the one plant is you know, double the space for error. Here they come. Brother and sister. Which side do you want? I'll go in the back and lift the back up. I'll move over there. Then you jump on that front corner. And pull her around. - Jeff You got some, uh, shackles. - TC Yeah. narrator To move the 19-foot tall, 20-ton plant uphill to the new mining pad, Parker's excavator will pull from the front, while TC steers at the back. So, yeah, the only thing really to watch out for is the stacker, obviously. - Yeah, don't hit the stacker. - TC Don't hit the stacker. Got it. Um, I see it's already a little bit bent. chuckles - That wasn't me. - Yeah, alrighty then. I eak it. I buy it? You eak it. You buy it. That's for sure. tense music playing TC on intercom All right, Parker. Are you ready? Yep! So much pressure on those chains. Jeff One thing with the chains is you can never tell where it's gonna eak. They just eak. Make them bleep fire off to the side. Oh, you don't wanna be in the bait. - Just right there. - TC And that looks good. Jeff Went super good. Nice, easy pullout. Nice, easy pull back. A little bit of a twist. - All right, what's next? - We gotta level up. TC The fun part. Parker Some meaty jacks! TC Some meaty jacks. Yeah. They're off for digging. I was just gonna say they're off an excavator, aren't they? TC Yeah, it's stooping down in the back. And then, we're... We're high on that side. narrator Wash plants must run as level as possible. Running off-center unevenly packs the sluice box preventing the gold from being caught in the riffles and lost off the end of the sluice. It takes Parker a day to level his Yukon plants. The hydraulic legs can achieve the same results in minutes. - Jeff That's level there. - Tyler That was relatively easy. Jeff, that's sweet. - Jeff That's pretty sweet. - Yeah. Way overbuilt. Super simple. TC Okay, let's get this water going. Parker This pipeline is getting hooked up to that hose? TC Yeah. So now we just need to get it running. Get Jeff's eyes on it. And who knows. Parker might wanna buy it. Parker These little plants like this are super easy to move. I mean, this actually really does fit the bill in terms of portability. Cheap as peanuts to run too. grunts Yeah, I like how slick those leveling jacks are. Like they're actually x-ramps off an excavator. Um, excavator is just like super heavy duty, like you could pick up a plant twice the size with those jacks. All right, what now? Sweet! machine starts TC Here comes the water. Jeff At the moment, I think he might still be considering buying this plant, but, uh, we never know what Parker is thinking. And until we get his word, everything is gonna be at a standstill for the start of next season. So I want him to hurry the bleep up so we can get this going. You got a few minutes? - What's up? - Jeff Come take a look. Yeah, hey. - TC, will you run this? - TC Yeah, I'll run that. Yeah. Parker Trade you out. - What's up? - Well, I just had a good look around. Everything looks pretty good. It's got the leveling jacks. Got a conveyor. Got a self-cleaning system up top. What do you, uh... What do you think? - Too bleep small. - Uh... It's a little bit small. Tyler Here we are. Kiwi Wild Lodge. narrator Unique to New Zealand, Kiwi birds are on the endangered list. Kristy Owens I'm gonna shine a light in here and tell me if you can see it. narrator Flightless and nocturnal, Kiwis have an unexpected feature to help navigate the dark. - It's got like whiskers. - Kristy laughs If you'd like to, you can touch this kiwi. Have a little feel, feel this, just gently. Tyler Yeah. bleep narrator Despite being born ready to run, only 2 of these defenseless birds make it to adulthood. Kristy whispers Slide kiwi back in there. Jeff It's a little bit small. Is that something you can work around? - No. - No? narrator Midway through the run, Parker shuts down the test of TC's trommel. Like it's perfect. It's just too bleep small. narrator Gunning for a big pay day in Alaska, Parker needs a plant that can chew through the ground. Well, my biggest thing is, you know, we're getting pretty late into this trip. We've seen some pretty good stuff, but, uh, we haven't jump on anything yet. It's, uh... It's got me kind of worried for timing right now. New season is coming pretty fast. Tyler I feel like I'm starting to get at the end of my contact list. It's getting hard. Like I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel here. Danny Listen, the thing is, man. The reality here is you still haven't actually chosen what type of plant you want. You should probably be at that stage by now. If I knew which one I want, we wouldn't be in this bleep country. That's why we're on this trip. Danny Well, I know it is, but... we're quite a long way into it. Surely, like, if you, if you could make that decision, then we can move on to the next step. And that gets the ball rolling, right? I'm leaving. Don't tell me what the bleep to do, Danny. bleep Jeff That didn't go great. No, it didn't. I feel like I'm losing this battle here. This plant is decent. It would do the job for him. So, yeah. It's kind of a bit of a blow that he's not interested in this one. So that's that. It's got me a bit worried. We need a plant for our season coming. We've been out here for, you know, quite a while now. We've seen quite a few wash plants. He's not buying them. They're not meeting his requirements or his standards. So we need to carry on looking. But we also need to nail down what he wants. Otherwise... I don't think Alaska is going to be a thing. Danny We've seen a lot of wash plants now. Don't you think sometimes you might have bitten off a little bit more than you can chew. Sometimes. Um, I wouldn't say that I've bitten off more than we can chew. I'm more scared of just like to pull the trigger on anything. I haven't pulled at any triggers on any big ticket item for Fairbanks, yet because I'm like bleep, do I really want to spend that $5 million? man bleep It will spend before we pull an ounce of gold out of the ground. Like you could retire with that. Tyler It's a lot of money. Mmm. It's just like do you really want to dump it all back into the next project? - You know. - Hmm-mmm. Do you think you're making decisions like that because it's kind of in your blood? It's definitely... It's a part of this family thing. My grandpa and my dad never paid themselves anything out of the companies. And just like pumped it all back into the business. My grandpa didn't work the last time he did it, right? Like his sawmill went bankrupt. But, yeah, I don't know. I really, in the next, like, while I'm on this trip, I have to start making the decision and start spending lots of money. Like Jeff's pushing me. - I don't wanna push you hard 'cause I know you know. - Parker I know. - Jeff And I know. - I know. I know that you know that I know. Yeah. That's like skydiving. I need somebody to boot bleep me out the door and then we're flying. Tyler I'll do it. Jeff laughs Perfect. - all laughing - Parker I'm going to bed. - Danny Cheers, mate. - Parker Cheers. Dan got me thinking tonight about the whole Fairbanks project. And just like, you know, the financial side of it. It's definitely, um... a bit daunting. Like I'm used to spending a lot of money, but there's also, you know, a lot of money coming in. Um, when you're setting up a new project, it's like... that money is just to step foot on the ground. Mentally, it's, uh... ...a challenge. Like I have to start making the big decisions in spending the big money. Yeah, time's ticking away. 5 days of Hacking / Camping / Lectures Join May Contain MCH2022.org
You got a few minutes? What's up? Well, my biggest thing is, you know, we're getting pretty late into this trip. We've seen some pretty good stuff, but, uh, we haven't jumped on anything yet. And it's, uh, got me kinda worried. Your season's coming pretty fast. Listen, the thing is, man, the reality is, you still haven't actually chosen what type of plant you want. We should probably be at that stage by now. If I knew which one I want, we wouldn't be in the bleep country. That's why we're on this trip. Oh, I know it is, but... ...we're quite a long way into it. Surely, like, if you can make that decision, then we can move on to the next step and, like, get the ball rolling, right? I'm leaving. Don't tell me what to bleep do, Danny. This is the most time I've ever spent anywhere that was, like, next to the open ocean. Yeah, Alaska's all, like, inner coast, you know, like, inlets and fjords. Nine years ago, Parker Schnabel left his grandpa's claim in Alaska to find big gold in the Yukon. 3,362. Good job, buddy. Now, after mining over $70 million in gold, he's betting his fortune and reputation on a new venture back home in Alaska. It's a weird point where... you have to decide to quit while you're ahead, or do you double down and get lean and mean? And that starts with a wash plant. You know, wash plant's the heart of your operation. Are we gonna go visit our favorite South African today? You know shaker decks inside out, so why do you wanna see this one? I'd like to cut... talk myself out of a trommel if I could, because they're more complicated than a screen deck is. After four weeks searching for the perfect plant in New Zealand, Parker still hasn't pulled the trigger. Fairbanks is gonna be full of a whole lot of surprises, lots of clay, lots of very difficult-to-recover gold. And, you know, to buy the wash plant that can deal with all of that, be... hype production, and be portable... ...you know, it's a huge challenge. So far, Parker has looked exclusively at trommels, known for their ability to handle clay-laden ground. This sets a very high standard for what we're looking for. But... - Oh, bleep. You've got two more plants running here. - Yeah. ...after spotting a shaker deck at miner Louis Nel's, Parker is wavering. I think we should come back. I'd like to see a screen deck. You and I both know screens inside and out. Parker really likes shaker decks. But, if he starts to sort of change his mind about the way he wants to mine Alaska now, it will be quite a big U-turn. And that could have ramifications down the line. The team are returning to Louis Nel's gold-rich, 500-acre claim near Ruatapu. All right. Let's go find Louis. You guys see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Hi, Louis. - Yes. - Good. I know, we just couldn't resist coming back and checking out - some of your other wash plants. - Oh? You got so many of them running around here. Kiwi miners favor trommels to process the country's clay-ridden pay. Louis is the only miner they've met who uses a shaker deck. Our screen decks in the Yukon have gotten pretty, like, specialized and they're all very similar, and I wanna see if you've done anything different. Mind if I hop up there and check it out? Shaker decks are renowned for their durability and compact design. Spray bars mounted on the vi ating decks wash the gold from the rocks, which is then sorted through a series of screens. Shakers often struggle to wash sticky clay. And tailings can be expelled before all the gold has been recovered. Right. Well, there's no way to see them run like running them yourself. Do you mind if I hop in there? It sounds like they probably use this for mostly, for like, material that's pretty easy to wash. - Cleaner material. - Yeah, but once I get in the hoe here, I've gotta run and get in, but ask him about if they'll send a couple loads - of the dirtier clay stuff. - See what it does? Yeah. He might not want to, but ask him. Yeah. No, I'll ask him for sure. I know Parker's got some ground, you know, in Alaska and it's got clay in it, and I was curious if maybe we can run some ground through here - with a bit of clay in it. - Yep. Perfect, well, we'll let him run this and we'll go grab some. Yeah. If you're on ground that's difficult to wash, then everybody's gonna say, Get a trommel. But, screen decks are what we know. A lot of our parts would be... interchangeable, but ultimately gold recovery has to overshadow those things. You know, the ground in Fairbanks, there is one spot where we hit this, like, kind of a false bedrock layer with quite a bit of gold in it. And that was, like, really sticky, nasty clay. And recovery with a screen deck is gonna suffer. You know, you get a lot more bang for your buck in terms of yards an hour our of a screen cage, too, like, the equivalent size screen versus a trommel, is a huge factor difference. So, this material down here is the closest I think we're gonna get - to the ground of Parker's up in Alaska. - Yeah. Can we take some of this and run it through the shaker? Perfect. Oh, yeah. Perfect. There's the good stuff. Right on. Hey, uh, Parker. Um, I've got some, uh, ground from the, uh, bottom pit there. Do you wanna start running that through now, we'll start doing a bit of, uh, tests, see how it does? Copy that. Parker has just three weeks left to find the perfect plant and ship it home in time for the start of Alaska's mining season. Starting to feel a little bit of pressure, so is Jeff, so is Danny. We don't have time to waste. If Parker wants to start mining in Alaska this year, he has to start making some big decisions and ASAP, and he's just not doing that. I'm just hoping that after today, we can at least narrow it down in some way or another. This place is the best opportunity to make some decisions about what the wash plant is. So if we can't, then I think we've got problems. Or Parker has problems. Danny! Danny, come look at this. - Come here! - What is it? - Gold? - No, look at it. It's... how do you say it? Pounamu? - Oh, wow. - How stunning is that? That's quite a lump, huh? - Yeah. - It's huge. What's the deal with that? Is that a little, - a little bobby bonus, Louis? - No. Oh, wow. Does it mean a lot to them? - Oh, gotcha. - Yeah. So are you taking it back to him now, is that what the... Yeah. I can take it if you want. You're busy with the... I can do it. - Yay. Dan, you wanna come? - Yeah. - Nice. - Go ahead, grab it. How heavy is it? It's bleep. Oh, my God. - Don't bleep drop that. Is it heavy? - bleep heavy. Are they gonna be, like, super pleased to see this, Louis? - Oh, really? - Yeah. Is that worth, is that worth a few quid? Like, thousands? Yeah, okay. - All right. - Let's do it. Hit the road. I'm excited. What a nice little adventure. Sacred to the Maori people, the green stone gives the South Island its name, Te Waipounamu, the place of pounamu. In 1997, the government decreed it was owned by the Maori and any found must be returned to them. This the right way? So, it's down this road. I think that's gonna be a hill coming up, we're gonna head down it. Wow, we are out in it. - Look at that. - We are in the sticks. Tyler and Danny head deep into the Kaimata River valley to locate Maori pounamu hunter Te Rua. All right. - A bit eerie. - A little bit. Hello? Te Rua? Hello? This is a bit small, but... ...it's a nice little plant. I'd like to make it work. At Louis Nel's, Parker is running a test to determine if the shaker deck can recover gold from clay-ridden pay. On Indian River, we usually don't run into too much, like, really sticky material, but... ...it's like this kind of stuff when we do, springs don't like it much. I'd like to see what the tailings look like, coming off the end of the conveyor. Then we'll know if it's working or not. There's quite a bit of, uh, grit left on there. This is what happens when, uh, we're not getting a good enough wash. Um, it actually leaves material behind on these. And over a course of a day, that's quite a bit of material you're losing, so you could lose a lot of gold. If you can get the material washed, screens are the way to go. Parker Schnabel and wash plant engineer Jeff Turnell are testing a shaker deck to see if can process clay-ridden pay. But so far, the results aren't good. Been watching the material go through. And, you know, there's a few rocks with a bit of, uh, material still left on them. And, obviously, you know, over a course of a day, that's... ...possibly a bit of a loss, right? - Well, the problem is on bedrock. - Mmm-hmm. That's where the gold's sitting, right? Kinda had a look at the machine, and I think I can come up with a bit of a concept to get a little bit more wash up top. See if we can eliminate some of this, just to see. - That's why we're here, man. Try bleep out. - Yeah. I personally like shaker decks more than trommels. And I know Parker really does like shaker decks. So I think if I can prove to him that it can wash that material as well, then he might consider it. Louis's shaker has a series of spray bars that loosens pay from the rocks. Jeff plans to add a pre-wash with much higher pressure, that should eak up the clay and wash the rocks clean. The thought process is that... ...if you can get the material washed before it gets to the screen deck, then the screen deck is just classifying the material. And so what Jeff's talking about doing, is a very valid experiment to be running. All right, so, an inch and a half hose, that's kinda the first thing I'm looking for. You have some hose? Short on time, Jeff must improvise. Um, do you have any nozzles or any pipe fittings or anything? That'll work. Can I bend this up a little bit? Parker's ought me here to be his wash plant guy. If we go through this trip and we don't find what Parker's looking for, it's a ton of pressure. It adds a lot of pressure. Let's try that. Fit in there. Yeah, I mean, it's not ideal, but I just wanna show Parker that if we get a little bit more pressure - in there, a little more water volume. - Yeah. It will, uh, it will help. Yeah. Maybe we'll be able to shoot Parker from here. Perfect. Hello? Te Rua? 30 miles from Louis's claim, on the banks of the Kaimata River, Tyler and Danny search for pounamu hunter Te Rua. Look, there he is, down there. Oh, yeah. - Hello. - Greetings. - I'm Tyler. - Te Rua. You can call me T. - Nice to meet you, T. - That's what I'm told. The reason we're actually here is because we found - a quite impressive pounamu stone. - Oh, yeah? I'll be willing to receive it on behalf of our people. What is it about pounamu? 'Cause it has such a strong connection to your culture, doesn't it? Pounamu is, um, ought through all of our histories. We started as a nomadic people, a lot of heirlooms have been passed down, are all created out of pounamu, and was all, um, transferred of that energy through the pounamu, handed down from generation to generation to generation, to, uh, where we are here today. And your tattoos are impressive. - Yes, they are, thank you. - Must be a lot of meaning behind them. My facial one talks about, um, our family connection to the pounamu. - Wow. - Um, so. - Can we show it to you, then? - Yeah. So, it's just here. - Is that a good sized one? - Yeah, that's nice pounamu. On behalf of our people, I'd like to thank you very much. Thank you. It'd be cool while we're here, we actually got to go prospecting for pounamu. - Would that be possible? - Yeah, I think so. It's a good day for it. How do you come upon it? You're looking for those splashes of green, where somebody's just got a paint ush and just flicked it. But, you know, without it being a hocus-pocus sort of story, it's, uh, sort of like love. Some people can search for it their whole life and they'll never understand what it's about. But when looking for a piece of pounamu, once you find it, there's a connection between you and the stone. It's just something that's meant to be. Is it true that pounamu and gold are found together often? Uh, that seems to be the way. Do you mind, actually, if I get my metal detector out and have a prospect for gold? I think it'll be a perfect opportunity. Cool. All right, I'm gonna turn this on. Well, just make your way up around here and you can have a bit of a hunt. You might get lucky. Awesome, I'll follow your lead. This will be cool if we could find some gold and some pounamu. Gold and pounamu formed around the fault line between tectonic plates. When these collided to create the Southern Alps, the gold and pounamu were also pushed up. Since then, glaciers have plucked both from the rocks, carrying them down to the rivers together. So when the big floods come through, - it must just refresh it all. - Yup, refreshes it, start again. So after big rains, you guys tend to come down? - Definitely. - Do you ring the boss up and say, I'm not going to work, I'm going hunting? Well, no, I tell the boss that I'm sick. Yeah. Oh. Oh, goodness, I've actually got a signal. Well, I didn't think we're in nugget country. - Do people find nuggets here? - We're in nugget country. - Are we? - Yes, we are. We'll just scrape it. - Oh, bleep. - Oh, there it is, eh? What is that? It's like an anchor or something. Okay, I'm just gonna have a eak from that. I wanna concentrate on the pounamu, I can't do two things at... oh! Oh, that's a leaf. Big plan here is to make sure that the material comes out a lot more clean. Hopefully it works for Parker. To find out if the shaker deck can process clay, Jeff is rigging a pre-wash system using a high-pressure water jet. I'm actually really torn about screen decks versus trommels, because screens, to me, are more simple and easier to work on. And those are two of the biggest factors that we need to consider. To clean the sticky clay, the jet must hit the rocks with a force of 50 psi. That's not gonna be enough pressure. I was hoping for, like, a bleep jet, not like a piss stream. Nice try, Jeff. Oh, what a pain. Looks like they have some real water problems. I get what Jeff is trying to do. But you just can't do that with a garden hose. Brought in the reinforcements. Once we ran the hose to the top there just wasn't enough pressure, so Plan B. Jeff's called in Louis's water truck, equipped with a high pressure pump. There we go. Yeah. Proof of the test's success will be in the tailings. The biggest problem we've got right now is we're up against it for time. Like, if we don't find a plant in-country to buy, that we can move to Fairbanks in time, it's gonna be a disaster. I guess once you have an eye for it, - it becomes a lot easier. - Yep. It's about having an eye in. It takes people their whole life to sometimes get their eye, some don't even get it. At the foot of New Zealand's Southern Alps, Te Rua, Tyler and Danny are hunting for valuable green stone. Even if you don't find anything, it's just beautiful being out here and listening to the... listening to the sounds of the water. Um... You sound a lot like my dad. He always says when you're out wandering in the bush and just enjoying the nature and everything, that's when you come across gold. Exactly the same with the pounamu. You've gotta be like water. You gotta become it. And so, the particular sort of stone that we're looking for is, um, is either gonna be a beautiful dock leaf green or it's gonna be a chalky white. - That's chalky. - Yep, now you're getting your eye. You're getting closer. You're getting closer. But that's not quite chalky enough. No, that's not chalky enough. That speckled look isn't it, is it? No, no. That's, that's not it. This is kind of chalky. It's a bit big, isn't it? Yep, you wanna know what color? That's exactly what we're looking for right there. No bleep way! That's exactly what we're looking for right there. - Oh, my bleep That's green. - Yes. Oh, my bleep. So that's, that's the white, that's the, um, the smoothness and that chalkiness right there that we're talking about. That's white. - We're in the money. - It's huge! When whenever we find a smaller one, we always look around and ask ourselves, Where's your big other or something? Oh, yeah. - But, um... - Surely this is as big as they get. It looks like we found the big other. Um... So how much is it worth? In this instance, uh, we're looking at a couple hundred pound, easy. That could range anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 raw. - Far out. - Yeah. Worth up to $10,000 US dollars, the pounamu is carved into unique pieces of jewelry by Te Rua's tribe, potentially tripling its value. I think the best way to acknowledge this, it's just, uh, it's just to give thanks to this place here. I'd like to give you a hongi, Tyler. So when we have a hongi... So it's just, uh, a light touching of the nose and of our foreheads. And just a slight inhaling, just through the nose, the eath of life. Okay. Perfect. Yeah. Before Parker can decide if Louis' shaker deck is the one, he needs to see if Jeff's bush fix successfully washed away the clay. As you can see they're definitely a lot cleaner. - The task did work. - Sweet. And obviously in a perfect world, we'd do a few modifications to make that a lot better, but it, uh, gets the concept across. I mean, It does make me start to lean towards a screen a bit more because you can get the throughput in a smaller footprint, you know. - Yep. - Trommels are bleep huge to get a 180 or more yards an hour - out of. - They are. If you can combine the wash that you get out of trommel with a screen deck by just hammering water to it, you're getting all that bleep oken up. You get the throughput of a screen deck with the wash of a trommel... Sounds like a win-win. Yeah, the problem is we're not gonna - find that plant for sale. - No. So we might still be better off getting something that works that's in time, rather than what's perfect. - Right? - Hmm-mmm. If Parker bought this shaker deck here, he would have to do quite a bit of modifications to make it work for his ground. So I'm not sure whether or not he's decided himself whether he wants a trommel or a shaker deck. I came on this trip thinking that while it's a good thing that there's lots of trommels in New Zealand 'cause I want a trommel and now I'm like maybe we want a screen deck. If I was forced to make a decision today, I'd be like... screen deck. But yesterday, I was trying to buy a trommel. We've got still a few other sites and plants to look at, but I've got your number. Thanks for everything. - Really appreciate it. - Thanks, Louis. That was awesome Thanks for letting me do those tests. We better go find, um, Old Danny and Tyler. The worst decision that I could possibly make is no decision. Can't bleep stand indecision. Did you ing beer? It's getting dark. With the sun setting, the team head to a nearby farm. - Hello! - How is it going? Where are you all going? Uh, well, we were actually just looking for a place to camp. Oh, yeah. I could put you somewhere where you can go for a camp for the night. - Now, if you wanna follow me. - Thank you. Or he's taking us to a place to kill us all. - I think it's a puzzle. - Parker, could you please not do this to me 'cause I have anxiety about being murdered - Do you? - Yes. - Well, this is how it happens, okay? - Oh, definitely. You could get buried out here and you'd have no idea. Guys, this is textbook Wolf Creek Murder. The cows will leave you alone, but, other than that, try and keep warm and... Yeah. Where should we set up camp? Tyler, I put a wrench in the back of the seat on your side. Can you just see if you can grab that? That was, that was... That was good. bleep I weed myself. Ah! You landed in cow bleep and then peed yourself. Oh, wow. Today it was really nice that Danny and I got to split away from that wash plant talk and go and do something different. Um, and I kind of feel like it refreshed the team once we do get back together, but... to be honest though, I was hoping that we'd leave Louis Nel's for the final time with a really clear direction. Parker's gonna still humming and hawing whether it's a trommel or it's a shaker. And personally, it's starting to stress me out. Um, 'cause I've never really seen Parker like this. The Parker I know is fiercely... fierce with his decision making. He's hard and fast. He knows what he wants. We're gonna have to wait to see what he... wait to see what he does. Hopefully it's not too late. Where we're off to, then, Tyler? Um, so we're gonna see a wash plant for sale. It's Groundhog Day. With only seven weeks until the start of the season, Parker is still undecided on a wash plant for his new Alaskan venture. Now we're chewing through these viewings now. And it's not really about quantity as much as it is quality. Well, yeah, but I think it's fair to say there was a fair bit of quality at Louis Nel's. I am worried that it doesn't really get better than Louis Nel's. So just a head's up, Parker, around here it's gonna be slim pickings. Anything special about this one we're gonna see. I think it's got hydraulic legs. - Is it another trommel? - Another trommel. We have seen a lot of trommels now. There's just not a lot of shaker decks. Have you thought anymore about that, Parker? Yeah, I've thought about it. From Ruatapu, Tyler's final plant on the West Coast is 18 miles northeast, near the historic goldmining town of Kumara. - Hello! - Hello. Nice to meet you. - What's your name? - Thomas, but everyone calls me TC. - How long have you worked here? - A year and a half. - What did you do before that? - Coal mining. Big tractors. Uh, the head of big tractor up there are 475. - But you didn't get to use it. - No, unfortunately I wasn't that age yet at 50. - Some old grumpy guy got to run the 475, right? - Yep. But you're not old and grumpy, right? Are you? - I don't run a tractor. - No. Is there a lot of gold in this ground? Ah, there is a bit, yeah. We've, um, we come across a lot up against the road edge there. It's a bit, it's a bit deeper than we like to do normally. Right. - But, um... - Tell me you've just told us more about how much gold you're catching than all the other miners combined that we've filmed since being in New Zealand. I didn't tell you how much. - You've said a lot. - You're making him really nervous. I spoke to your boss on the phone and he said this was for sale. Sure is. - How old is it? - It's same as for your dash. I'll say that much. But so we catch this gold, so... - That's what matters, right? - Exactly. - Moves pretty easily. - Pretty mobile, yeah. - Yeah? - Hydraulic legs, right? Yeah, they make it really easy to level. Good stuff. Parker needs a wash plant that is mobile for his claim in Alaska. This 20-ton trommel has a price tag of $190,000. Built on skids for maximum movability. It's USP is four hydraulic legs to level the plant easily and quickly. But, like, if you're gonna see it running, we gotta move it. - All right, well, can we give you a hand? - Yeah. All right, sweet. One thing that Parker wanted to see a lot of was mobility. This is good because we get to see it moving and the fact it's got the hydraulics on the bottom of it is a plus. The only problem is it's got a heavy stacker on it, so when we turn it we have to try stop it from, uh, falling over. Oh, no. I'll give you the nice new one. - Well, we'll see what happens. - Yeah. I've seen a couple plant moves. But they always make me a little bit nervous, you know. There's a lot that could go wrong. It's a heavy thing to be moving around and there's a lot of parts coming off of it and stuff. And especially, when you need two diggers to move the one plant is you know, double the space for error. Here they come. Brother and sister. Which side do you want? I'll go in the back and lift the back up. I'll move over there. Then you jump on that front corner. And pull her around. - You got some, uh, shackles. - Yeah. To move the 19-foot tall, 20-ton plant uphill to the new mining pad, Parker's excavator will pull from the front, while TC steers at the back. So, yeah, the only thing really to watch out for is the stacker, obviously. - Yeah, don't hit the stacker. - Don't hit the stacker. Got it. Um, I see it's already a little bit bent. - That wasn't me. - Yeah, alrighty then. I eak it. I buy it? You eak it. You buy it. That's for sure. All right, Parker. Are you ready? Yep! So much pressure on those chains. One thing with the chains is you can never tell where it's gonna eak. They just eak. Make them bleep fire off to the side. Oh, you don't wanna be in the bait. - Just right there. - And that looks good. Went super good. Nice, easy pullout. Nice, easy pull back. A little bit of a twist. - All right, what's next? - We gotta level up. The fun part. Some meaty jacks! Some meaty jacks. Yeah. They're off for digging. I was just gonna say they're off an excavator, aren't they? Yeah, it's stooping down in the back. And then, we're... We're high on that side. Wash plants must run as level as possible. Running off-center unevenly packs the sluice box preventing the gold from being caught in the riffles and lost off the end of the sluice. It takes Parker a day to level his Yukon plants. The hydraulic legs can achieve the same results in minutes. - That's level there. - That was relatively easy. Jeff, that's sweet. - That's pretty sweet. - Yeah. Way overbuilt. Super simple. Okay, let's get this water going. This pipeline is getting hooked up to that hose? Yeah. So now we just need to get it running. Get Jeff's eyes on it. And who knows. Parker might wanna buy it. These little plants like this are super easy to move. I mean, this actually really does fit the bill in terms of portability. Cheap as peanuts to run too. Yeah, I like how slick those leveling jacks are. Like they're actually x-ramps off an excavator. Um, excavator is just like super heavy duty, like you could pick up a plant twice the size with those jacks. All right, what now? Sweet! Here comes the water. At the moment, I think he might still be considering buying this plant, but, uh, we never know what Parker is thinking. And until we get his word, everything is gonna be at a standstill for the start of next season. So I want him to hurry the bleep up so we can get this going. You got a few minutes? - What's up? - Come take a look. Yeah, hey. - TC, will you run this? - Yeah, I'll run that. Yeah. Trade you out. - What's up? - Well, I just had a good look around. Everything looks pretty good. It's got the leveling jacks. Got a conveyor. Got a self-cleaning system up top. What do you, uh... What do you think? - Too bleep small. - Uh... It's a little bit small. Here we are. Kiwi Wild Lodge. Unique to New Zealand, Kiwi birds are on the endangered list. I'm gonna shine a light in here and tell me if you can see it. Flightless and nocturnal, Kiwis have an unexpected feature to help navigate the dark. It's got like whiskers. If you'd like to, you can touch this kiwi. Have a little feel, feel this, just gently. Yeah. bleep Despite being born ready to run, only 2 of these defenseless birds make it to adulthood. Slide kiwi back in there. It's a little bit small. Is that something you can work around? - No. - No? Midway through the run, Parker shuts down the test of TC's trommel. Like it's perfect. It's just too bleep small. Gunning for a big pay day in Alaska, Parker needs a plant that can chew through the ground. Well, my biggest thing is, you know, we're getting pretty late into this trip. We've seen some pretty good stuff, but, uh, we haven't jump on anything yet. It's, uh... It's got me kind of worried for timing right now. New season is coming pretty fast. I feel like I'm starting to get at the end of my contact list. It's getting hard. Like I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel here. Listen, the thing is, man. The reality here is you still haven't actually chosen what type of plant you want. You should probably be at that stage by now. If I knew which one I want, we wouldn't be in this bleep country. That's why we're on this trip. Well, I know it is, but... we're quite a long way into it. Surely, like, if you, if you could make that decision, then we can move on to the next step. And that gets the ball rolling, right? I'm leaving. Don't tell me what the bleep to do, Danny. bleep That didn't go great. No, it didn't. I feel like I'm losing this battle here. This plant is decent. It would do the job for him. So, yeah. It's kind of a bit of a blow that he's not interested in this one. So that's that. It's got me a bit worried. We need a plant for our season coming. We've been out here for, you know, quite a while now. We've seen quite a few wash plants. He's not buying them. They're not meeting his requirements or his standards. So we need to carry on looking. But we also need to nail down what he wants. Otherwise... I don't think Alaska is going to be a thing. We've seen a lot of wash plants now. Don't you think sometimes you might have bitten off a little bit more than you can chew. Sometimes. Um, I wouldn't say that I've bitten off more than we can chew. I'm more scared of just like to pull the trigger on anything. I haven't pulled at any triggers on any big ticket item for Fairbanks, yet because I'm like bleep, do I really want to spend that $5 million? bleep It will spend before we pull an ounce of gold out of the ground. Like you could retire with that. It's a lot of money. Mmm. It's just like do you really want to dump it all back into the next project? - You know. - Hmm-mmm. Do you think you're making decisions like that because it's kind of in your blood? It's definitely... It's a part of this family thing. My grandpa and my dad never paid themselves anything out of the companies. And just like pumped it all back into the business. My grandpa didn't work the last time he did it, right? Like his sawmill went bankrupt. But, yeah, I don't know. I really, in the next, like, while I'm on this trip, I have to start making the decision and start spending lots of money. Like Jeff's pushing me. - I don't wanna push you hard 'cause I know you know. - I know. - And I know. - I know. I know that you know that I know. Yeah. That's like skydiving. I need somebody to boot bleep me out the door and then we're flying. I'll do it. Perfect. I'm going to bed. - Cheers, mate. - Cheers. Dan got me thinking tonight about the whole Fairbanks project. And just like, you know, the financial side of it. It's definitely, um... a bit daunting. Like I'm used to spending a lot of money, but there's also, you know, a lot of money coming in. Um, when you're setting up a new project, it's like... that money is just to step foot on the ground. Mentally, it's, uh... ...a challenge. Like I have to start making the big decisions in spending the big money. Yeah, time's ticking away.
You're going on a journey? So suddenly, Jane? Without warning? Oh, forgive me, my dears. I'm called away suddenly. I shall be away about 4 days, perhaps more. But you're coming back to us. Why, you're taking almost nothing. -You're going alone? -Yes. It is to see or hear news of a friend about whom I've been uneasy for some time. Oh, Jane, you look very pale. Are you sure you feel well enough to travel? Nothing ails me but anxiety of mind, which I hope my journey will dispel. Oh, Diana, I cannot tell you any more of the matter, not now. I'm sorry. Forgive me. This is your home, Jane. You're free to come and go as you please. To go and come back, you mean. Oh, Jane, come back to us soon. Please. My master might be a oad for all I knew. And if he were at Thornfield Hall with his poor lunatic wife, I dared not seek his presence or speak to him. I decided to ask at the inn. They would be able to tell me all I sought to know. Good day to you, ma'am. I see you get down from the coach. -Do you wish for a room? -Yes. No. How far is Thornfield Hall from here? Oh, just 2 miles across the fields yonder. I'm going there soon in the chaise, if you'd like me to take you. Thank you. I must go immediately. Please, could you look after my box? -Yes, ma'am. -Thank you. Is anybody there? Ma'am? Is that the lady from the coach? I am here. What has happened? What are you doing here? You was in such a rare state, ma'am. I was worried about you. I was coming this way, so I thought I'd take a look at the poor old hall. I thought you might like me to take you back to the inn. Aye, it is sad, ma'am, isn't it? I used to live here once, as butler. Not in my time. You're a stranger to me. And you to me, Miss. No, it was in the late Mr. Rochester's time. The late? Is he dead? I mean the present Mr. Rochester's father. You must have been away from these parts, ma'am, or you would have heard what happened last autumn. Oh, it was a dreadful calamity, ma'am. Everything gone. Everything burned. Before the engines could arrive from Millcote, the whole building was one mass of flames. I witnessed it myself. Is it known how it started? Oh, they guessed, ma'am, they guessed. And the servants had a tale to tell. You are perhaps not aware, ma'am, that there was a lady, a lunatic, kept in the house. I have heard something of it. Well, a very queer thing happened a year since. A very queer thing. This lady, ma'am, turned out to be Mr. Rochester's wife, and there was a young lady, a governess at the hall, that Mr. Edward fell in love with. Never mind that. Please, tell me about the fire. Very well, ma'am. Well, it seems that upstairs in the lunatic's room, while her keeper was asleep... Sir! Sir! I hate you! And the next minute she lay smashed on the pavement. As dead as the stones on which her ains and blood lay. It was frightful. Oh, good god. Were any other lives lost? No, ma'am, but perhaps it would have been better if there had. What do you mean? Well, poor Mr. Edward. Some said it was a judgement for trying to marry that poor girl. You said he was alive. Aye, if you can call it alive. He's stone blind. Blind? Well, after Mrs. Rochester died, he was coming down, but there was a crash, and he was taken out of the ruins. He was only just alive. Mr. Carter had to amputate one hand, and one eye was lost, and the other so badly inflamed that Mr. Rochester cannot see. He's a blind cripple. Where is he now? With old John and his wife, at Ferndean, a house he has, some 30 miles off. He's very oken down, they say. -You came in your chaise? -Yes, ma'am. Please take me to Ferndean. I will pay you well. -At once, please, at once. -Yes, ma'am. But he won't let folk help him. Ever. Maria, how are you? And john, how are you? Well? Not a word of welcome from either of you? I'm not a ghost, you know. Miss Eyre. Is it really you, Miss, come to this lonely place at this late hour? It is secluded, isn't it? He wishes to live away from the world, Miss. It took me hours in a chaise. I have come from Thornfield. I know what happened there. Aye. Terrible it was. I've sent the chaise away. I'm sure you can find me a room for the night. There's none but that dusty old room upstairs. You can get up there with a oom, John, and light a fire. And I can make sure that Miss Eyre has dry sheets and a warm bed for the night. That's master. When you go in to your master, tell him there is someone who wishes to see him, but do not give him my name. I don't think he'll see you, Miss. He refuses everybody. John, I left my box under the tree by the gate. Could you fetch it for me, please? It begins to grow dark, and take it to my room. Aye. You haven't forgotten who does the fetching and carrying, I see, Miss. Thank you, John. You're to send in your name and business. Is this what he rang for? Aye. He always has candles ought in at dark, though he's blind. I will take it in to him. Oh, lord, what will he say to me? It's the room at the end of the corridor, Miss. Give me the water, Maria. What's the matter? Down, Pilot. This is you, Maria, is it not? Maria's in the kitchen. Who is this? Who is this? Who speaks? Will you take some more water, sir? I spilt half of what was in the glass. Who is it? What is it? Pilot knows me. John and Maria know I'm here. I arrived only this evening. Great god. What delusion has come over me? What sweet madness has seized me? No delusion, no madness. Let me touch you. Her very fingers. Her small, slight fingers. Is it you, Jane? What is it? -This is her shape. -And this her voice. She is all here. Her heart, too. Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre. I'm come back to you. Such dreams I've had at night when I've clasped her to my heart, as I do now, and kissed her. And felt that she loved me. And trusted she would never leave me. Which I never will do from this day. Never? But I always woke and found it an empty mockery. My gentle, sweet dream. You will fly, too. Does this feel like a mockery? Do you call this a dream? It is you, is it, Jane? You are come back to me, then? I am. You don't lie dead in some ditch. You're not a despised outcast among strangers? I'm an independent woman now. An uncle in Madeira died and left me £5,000. What, Janet? You're an independent woman? A rich woman? A free woman? Quite rich. Enough to build a house close by where you can come and sit in my parlour when you need company of an evening. Ah, you're rich, Jane. You have now no doubt friends who will not suffer you to devote yourself to a lame, blind wreck. I am my own mistress, sir. And you will stay? Certainly. I will be your neighbour, your nurse, your housekeeper. I find you lonely. I will be your companion. I will read to you, walk with you, sit with you, wait on you, be eyes and hand to you. You will not be left desolate by me. This is pity, not love. No. -Leave me. -No. Leave me! I beg you. He was ever that way. I remember the time Mrs. Fairfax... Maria. Yes, sir? Our visitor cannot have left. Where is she? Oh, she... she's somewhere in the house, sir. Well, find her. Bring her to me. Yes, sir. I'm here, sir. Still here. Jane... you must not go. I've touched you, felt you, heard you. I cannot give up these joys. The world may think me selfish, but no matter. Very well, sir. It is settled. Yes. But you understand one thing by staying, and I understand another. What do you see as my understanding, sir? You mean to wait on me like a kind little nurse. You were ever kind. I suppose I must now entertain fatherly feelings for you. Don't you think so? Come. Tell me. I shall think, sir, what you like. But you cannot always be my nurse, Janet. You're young. You must marry some day. I don't care about being married. You should care! If I were what I once was, I would try to make you care. It is time someone undertook to rehumanise you, sir. Have you a pocket comb about you? What for? Come, give it to me. There, it is better. Your shaggy black mane is very alarming. And this? It is a pity to see it. And a pity to see your eyes and the scar on your forehead. -Do you take supper, sir? -I don't want any supper. I never take supper. Well, you shall have some tonight. You're hungry, I'm sure. There. That's better. Can you tell when there's a good fire? With the right eye. I can see a glow. Can you see the candles? Very dimly. Each is a luminous blur. Can you see me? No, my fairy. But I can hear you and touch you. Jane, I thought you'd be revolted by me. Did you? Am I hideous, Jane? Yes, sir. You always were, you know. Well, the wickedness hasn't been taken out of you, wherever you've sojourned. I have been with far better people than you, sir quite more refined and exalted. Well, who the deuce have you been with? You will not get it out of me tonight. You are far too tired. I will tell you tomorrow. You wicked changeling. Fairy-born, yet human- ed. Now I'm going to leave you. I've been travelling these last 3 days, and I, too, am tired. Good night, sir. Jane, were there only ladies where you've been? Good night, sir. This St. John Rivers, then, he's your cousin? Yes, sir. Did you like him, Jane? St. John is a very good man. I could not help, but like him. Is he an able man? Truly able, sir. A thoroughly educated man? St. John is an accomplished and profound scholar, sir. His manners, I think you said, they were not to your taste. Priggish and parsonic. I never mentioned his manners, but they are polished, calm, and gentleman-like. His appearance, I forget how you described his appearance. A raw curate, half-strangled in a white neckcloth, huh? St. John dresses well. He is a very handsome man. Tall, blond, blue eyed. And with a Grecian profile. Damn him. Did you like him, Jane? Oh, yes, I liked him, sir. But you've asked me that before. Perhaps you would rather not sit beside me any longer, Miss Eyre. Why not, Mr. Rochester? The contrast between a tall, graceful, fair-haired Apollo and a Vulcan, black, oad-shouldered and... and blind into the bargain. I never thought of it before, but you are rather Vulcan-like. This man, Rivers, he wanted to marry you? You need not be jealous. I only wanted to provoke you. I thought anger would be better than grief. I'm not foolish, Jane. You formed a new tie. With whom? This man, Rivers. St. John Rivers. He's young, he's handsome, he wants to marry you. He will. He does not love me. I do not love him. You of all people should know what that means. Jane, 4 days ago, last Monday, a singular mood came over me. One in which grief replaced frenzy. I was sitting in my room by the open window and there oke involuntarily from my lips the words Jane... Jane, Jane, Jane. -You spoke the words aloud? -I did. You'll think me mad. For a voice, I cannot tell whence it came, but I know whose it was replied. It said I'm coming. Wait for me. A few moments after there came upon the wind the words where are you? Jane, I don't want a nurse or a friend. I want a wife. Do you, sir? Yes. Is it news to you? No. Is it unwelcome news? That depends on circumstances, sir. On your choice. Which you shall make for me. I will abide by your decision. I leave the choice to you. Choose then, sir, her who loves you best. I will at least choose her I love best. Jane, will you marry me? Yes, sir. A blind man, whom you'll have to lead about by the hand? Yes, sir. A crippled man, nearly 20 years older than you, who you'll have to wait on? Yes, sir. Truly, Jane? Most truly, sir. I have now been married 10 years. Within 2 years, Edward recovered the sight of one eye, just before our first child was born. I now know what it is to live for and with what I love best on earth. I am my husband's life as fully as he is mine. We are bone of each other's bone and flesh of each other's flesh. Captioned by the national captioning institute - www.ncicap.org...
Thank you. - No problem. Call me if you need help. - Thanks. Hello. - How are you? How are you? Have a nice day. Thanks, open the trunk. What's in the sack? - My ration of rice. Rationed rice? - Yeah. How much did they give you? - Same as usual. Really? Let me know if it's good, - then I'll get mine too. - OK. Take care. - Thank you. Mahan, be patient. It will go under and get burned! Wait, please. Wait, OK? Hello. - Hello. How are you? Fine, how are you? - Fine. Sorry… - What happened? This poor cat is stuck under there and the kids can't get it out. Sorry to have disturbed you. No problem. Oh, my dear. So tiny. - Sweet thing… Thanks. Thanks a lot. How are you, little one? - Any time. Hi, how are you? - Thank you. Hi. - Hi. How are you? - Thanks. What's up? - Nothing, what about you? Nothing. Did you ing my shoes? - Here. Thanks. Did you see her? The schoolgirl? Yeah, Fatemeh. She was so sad in class today. Afterwards I asked her what's wrong. She said, Nothing. I joked around with her a little. And then in the middle of laughing, she burst out crying. - Poor thing! So sad, I pitied her. I said, What's wrong? She said, Lucky your husband picks you up. I asked, Why? Doesn't anyone pick you up? She said, No. My mom's in Istanbul with friends. And my dad's cele ating his wife's birthday. Think about it! - What do you mean? Unbelievable! I was shocked but I didn't show it. I said, Oh, how nice. Then you'll have lots of fun today. What are your plans today? I have to go to my grandma's place. Shall we give you a lift? But she said, No, thank you. She didn't want to take a cab either. I guess she's going to the movies with her friend. Friend? - Yeah, boyfriend. How old is she? A girl her age, during the school term… Instead of thinking about her life, university exams… Are her parents officially divorced? I don't know how official it is. But the teachers say he is still with both of them. I don't get the dad at all. The mother is so pretty. Is the mother also with someone? - I have no idea. Maybe she is in Istanbul with her boyfriend. The stepmother is probably a cruel one too. How would I know, dear? You can't just judge people so easily. Forget it. The topic is annoying me. - Where are we going? - The bank. Yes, your salary. And then the wedding gift. What should we buy? - I don't know. You decide. How about half a gold coin? - That's too much! Any idea how much that costs? Let's get a gift voucher or something. - OK. Maybe a quarter gold coin. - OK. Is it too little compared to your coworkers? No. - Sure? Move, you idiot! Hello, hello! How are you? Thank you. Yes, yes, she is my wife. I'd appreciate it if you could give it to her. I appreciate it, thank you. Goodbye. I won't get your salary anymore. Do it yourself. The teller really gets on my nerves. He called you, didn't he? The jerk probably thought I wouldn't notice. Doesn't he realize you'd tell me? I've been collecting your salary for years. Yet every time he says, He must come himself. He's just doing his job. So he has to see an ID card. After all these years, he still wants to know if I'm your wife. He always sees that I have your wallet. And I get out your ID card and hand it to him. What if we got divorced last week? Don't bullshit me! Do I look like a fraudster? Did you pay the installment? - And he is so slow! Did you pay the installment? I was so angry that I totally forgot. Razieh, it's always the same with you. We still have five days left. You're so absent-minded. Instead of complaining, concentrate on your tasks. The money stays on the account longer, that's fine. We have to come here again in five days. In this traffic and with all the pollution. I'll do it after school. Just pick me up, OK? It's not about the installment, just your absent-mindedness. Enough! I'm annoyed enough already. Do you want to turn back? I'm sorry. Hi sweetie. - Hi, honey. I don't want to talk to you. What's wrong? Why are you so late? Dad, why did you pick her up so late? Sweetie, I had to pick Mom up first. You promised you'd always pick me up first. Yes, honey, but sometimes I can't. We had to go to the bank to get my salary. Now we're going to your favorite supermarket. Then go to Granny's. I don't care, you lied and you should be punished. How? By taking me to Bamland for pizza tonight. OK, sweetie. We'll do that. Why are you promising her pizza? It's fine now and again. We said: No fast food. I want an ice cream, Mom! OK, let's get here first. Didn't you buy one already? - It's for your mom. Heshmat, it's very dark. There's the wedding tomorrow. My highlights will go to waste. It's perfect for your hair. No, I don't want it that dark. - Let's take this. No, this one is much prettier, isn't it? No… Number 9. Are you sure? - Yes. Zahra, where is the ice cream wrapper? Already in the trash can. But we haven't paid for it yet. Shall I fish it out of the trash? Excuse me, she's had an ice cream, but threw away the wrapper. What did it look like? It was on a stick. - What did it look like? Heshmat, go and get one. - Come along. Do all of you get the same rations? I don't know but I think so. Put Mom's groceries separate. - OK. You do so many night shifts, shouldn't you be different to others? And you don't even ask. OK, I'll talk to them. Yes… Tomorrow? No, I can't come tomorrow. We're going to a wedding. I don't have time tomorrow. What is the problem? You should've delivered the dress three days ago. I was only one day late for the fitting. You should've sent it to me three days ago. No. I'm busy tomorrow. Please get it ready, I'll pick it up today. Yes, thank you. Yes, thank you. Such irresponsible people. They make me mad. She's not like this, but her helpers. They only work under pressure! Darling, that's not for Mom. Go in. Slowly! Granny! Oh, my dearest. Hello, sweetie. Hello, Mom. - Hello, honey. Are you well? - Yes, thanks. Good. - Hello, Mom. Take your bag. Get changed. You took so much trouble. - No problem. Any news? - Nothing special. How are your feet? - Thank God, much better. Has the utility bill come? - Yes, near the TV. Did he fix the water pipe? - Your plumber was good. Are you taking your pills on time? Of course, Son. Don't worry. Now your blood pressure. - Where is the TV remote? Here you are, honey. Zahra! Give it to me. - Mom! Not Mom. Give it to me. - Please! Go and do your homework. Mom! - Not Mom. Do it! I don't want to! - Didn't we talk about this? Mom! I don't want to do my homework! Do you want to eat pizza tonight? - Yes. Then get started! - No. Math and dictation. - No! Dad? - Oh, my God! Some creatures make humans sick. Describe one of them. Which one do you want to write about? About parrots. But they aren't dangerous. - But I like parrots. Answer the question. Heshmat, darling… God bless you, Mom. Thanks, honey. God bless you. - Don't catch a cold! I feel lighter. - I've got you. Come. Hold onto the chair. Take your pills after dinner. - Thank you. You all should eat too. - We'll eat later. Is it cheese? Yeah, it's delicious. Want to try? The cheese is really good, right? What's it called? - Feta, I think. It has so many names, nobody knows. Be gentle, Heshmat. Heshmat, have you taken your pills? Are you asleep? Heshmat? Heshmat? I'm sorry. Why aren't you asleep? Think you're something special? I'm really sorry. I just can't… I feel really sick. Sorry, sorry… Now I can't fall asleep again. It's OK, nothing's happened! Can't you see he's not feeling well? Then sleep in the shitter but don't wake me! Sorry. Hey, cool it, everyone. What's the matter? Take it, it's your girlfriend. Hello, Tahmineh. Did you talk to him? Did you send him a message? You should've called from an unknown number. Why doesn't he pick up? The jerk! How can I be calm? I can't, Tahmineh. OK. I can't talk right now. I'll call you later. I can't right now, I'll call you. Here… Why are you dragging that poor girl into this? Who? - Your girlfriend. What else could I do? And now? What did your other say? Was he able to do anything? He isn't answering his phone. Maybe he couldn't do anything, then. He's got many friends and could help. Hey, asshole… What friends? At 2 a.m.? His phone is on silent and he's gone to bed. He's not stuck in some shithole, like us. Are you not human? Don't you understand his situation? What? Is he something special? He's looking for connections to get transferred. What about me? Must I do whatever I am told because I don't have any? Didn't you feel the same the first time? How? - Don't play dumb, Hasan! We explained everything to him. He doesn't get it. Thinks he's special, the chosen one. Laws are laws. You aren't at your mom's place. This is prison. You're a soldier in Iran. There are rules. Whatever the top dogs say you do. And if it's wrong? - None of our business. Whose is it, then? - I don't give a damn. You just obey? I do it because it's the law. I'm a conscript on duty, I live in this country, and the law says I must serve for 21 months. Being in the military means you shut up and obey everything your superiors say. And if they command you to kill? I don't want to. - Not this again! Someone committed a crime and was sentenced to death. Not your decision. But I have to execute him. He still doesn't get it. Why are you in the army if you think like that? You should have left the country. Where to, without a passport? What can you do without finishing your service? No completion certificate means no passport. Can you get a driving license? Find employment? Get a trade license? Take out insurance for your family? Not every soldier has to execute people. It's just our bad luck. Be glad that you ended up here. Before I got transferred here, the sergeant wouldn't sign my leave pass unless I wept in front of him. I used to clean 32 toilets a day. Why? Because the guy didn't like my face. This is Iran. There is no law here. Just money and nepotism. They tell you to pull away the stool and you do so. Or it'll be you, and your best friend pulls away the stool from under your feet. I'm just doing my service so I can get a passport and start my life. And now I have to execute someone? I don't want to, I can't! You've come here, so you have to pull. It's your duty. You don't have a choice. Or else it's refusal to obey an order. That means court martial, prison, more time to serve. And that's the least of it. Because afterwards it all starts all over again. You have to finish your military service. And obey orders, regardless. Or you'll end up like him. Stuck here serving for four years. Listen, you sissy. In one hour you're going to pull away the stool. So why all this palaver? Be a good boy and pull away the stool. Then you'll get three days' leave. And have fun with your girlfriend. Now don't be a goody two shoes and let us sleep! Wait, weren't you agging about leaving Iran with your girlfriend a few days ago? Promised to take her to Austria so she can study music there. Now this is a part of that. Isn't keeping your promise important to you? Right or wrong, this is the law of the land. It can't be lawless. Find ways to change the law, if you want. But then you'll have to stay in Iran. Become somebody who can change the law. I can't… I swear I can't kill anyone. You can't, but we can? Are we natural born killers? Here, it's your girlfriend. Tahmineh, what happened? Any news? No, no news here. I can't do it. I'm losing my mind! I can't, I swear. I'm scared. I can't, Tahmineh, don't ask that of me. I can't do it. You're at home on your sofa but giving me advice. I'll call you later. Your phone… We thought of something. It would be better for both of you. Then you won't have to do it. Someone will be executed, but someone else's life will be saved. How? Ali is willing to do it for you. But there's a problem. His sister is really sick, and his family needs 50 million toman. Really, Ali? Can you do it? Well, I've done it a few times already. Once more won't make any difference. 50 million, tonight? - Yeah, right now. But I don't have 50 million. I've saved 35 for the journey. Give me time till tomorrow. Don't eak the deal. 50 right now. How can I transfer 50 million here at night? See, I knew it. He's just a cheat. That's bullshit. - He's right though. How can he transfer 50 million from here? What if he eaks his promise tomorrow? - No idea. He hasn't even called anyone! Who shall I call this late? Your girlfriend you keep agging about. - Brag? - At least pretend to make a call! Let us think you actually tried. I can get you the money, Ali. Give me time. How can we be sure? - Trust me. What if Ali does this, and your other gets you transferred. You'd be gone. None of us can reach you after that. Give me a pen and paper, I'll guarantee in writing and sign. Ali has to decide. OK, Ali? - Shame on you, bastards. What the hell are you doing? Salar, his pill! - You're buying your innocence? Amir! - You want to shirk your responsibility? Wait, let me speak. - Don't get worked up. Just a sedative. - Take it. Let me finish. - The pill will help. You are a bigger sinner than all of us. You pay, and he's doing it for his sister… Does that clear your conscience? If you don't do it, no one will be executed anymore? Dip both hands deeply in blood. Take some pictures, put them on the wall. So you remember you're no different to us. If not, you might even claim you're the innocent one among us. Mark my words: if you make this deal, I'll be the first to report you tomorrow morning. Whenever it's my turn to pull the stool away, I try to find out what crime he committed. Thank God, none of them were innocent. They were either smugglers or murderers. I said that from the start. They don't hang people without a reason here. They must have done something. Let it go, Pouya. Pray they'll choose retribution or something, then the victim's family does it themselves. You get to keep your clean conscience until next time. Tahmineh. Yes, I'm listening. Maybe it'll help you. Hi… What is this? - Is it your first time? Go and get the prisoner. Keep walking! What is it? What's the matter? You're a mama's boy, huh? Come, you'll get used to it. Wait here a sec. Yes? - Give me his letter. Wait a second. Here you are. Go ahead. Walk. What is it this time? What's wrong? I have to go to the toilet. Go on. Here, handcuff him to the bar. Be quick. Come on. I swear my hands are shaking. Get out of the way, give that to me. - What the hell are you doing? - Shut up! Just go in. You too. The gun is not a joke! - Shut up! I swear to God I'll shoot you. What do you want? - Be quiet! Take off your cap and coat. - This is mutiny! Quick! Put his coat over his face. They will execute you! - Jacket over his face. Shut up! - You won't even make it to the gate. Shut up! I don't want to spill any blood. But if I have to, I'll shoot the person forcing me to execute someone. Shut up! Take him in. Take him in. Take his handcuffs. Cuff him to the bar. Quick. Keys! Search his pockets. The keys must be in his pocket. Give them to me. Close the door. Wait. What crime are they executing you for? Cuff yourself, cuff your hands to that. Quick! Not a sound. Ali! Did you take out the trash? Hi. - Hi. The ambulance is still not here. - Ambulance? For the execution. Sir, he says he's here about the ambulance. Come in. What are you talking about? The ambulance isn't here. They sent me to ask why. An ambulance for what? You don't know? We have an execution. They sent me to ask. What division are you from? - Enforcement. Are you new? - Yes. Put the phone down. Drop your gun. - OK. Hang up! - OK. Stand up! - What do you want? - Where's your phone? Here. - I don't have one. - Don't bullshit me. Phone! - I swear, I don't have one. Turn around! - Whatever you want. Turn around and put your hands on the glass! Pull your shirt up. Your shirt! You move, I'll shoot. Drop your gun slowly, I swear I'll shoot! Slowly, drop it! Come here, I swear I'll shoot! Come here, come. Where is the key? Where is it? Where? Give it to him. Turn around! Hands back on the glass! I need handcuffs. Handcuffs! Put the cuffs on him! Hands at the back! You won't make it to the street. - Shut up! What? Open the cabinet! Open it! Nothing in here. - Throw everything out! Empty it! Quick! All of it! Take out the shelves. Get into the cabinet. In! Quickly! Face the wall! Get in! Close the cabinet! Take the key and open the door. One wrong move and I'll shoot! Come on, quickly! Come here, come here. Take the handcuffs, cuff yourself! Quick! - OK… They're going to get you for this. Shut up, idiot! Get into the cabinet. Get in. Get in! In the morning I got up, oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao… I knew you could do it, Pouya. I swear… That was really hard, Tahmineh! But I believed in you. I still can't believe I did that. The boss is standing with his cane, oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao… The boss is standing with his cane and we work with our backs curved. Oh my god, what a torment, oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao… Oh my god, what a torment as I call you every morning. And every hour that we pass here oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao… and every hour that we pass here we lose our youth. But the day will come when us all oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao… but the day will come when us all will work in freedom. Mr. Keshavarz, did you ing the frame? Come up and give it to me. - Sure. Javad. I missed you. Me too, very much. Thank you. - You're welcome. We weren't expecting you but welcome anyway. Sorry about that. How is the garrison and keeping watch? It's just military service. It will end. - Yes, it's almost finished. Is Shirin not in? She's gone to town with Aras, they'll be back in a few hours. They've ought many chairs. You're having a big party. Do you need help? Thank you. Your tea is getting cold, drink. I have a ring. With your permission, I want to give it to Nana tonight on her birthday. It's better if you talk to her mother. Actually, I spoke with Shirin a few days ago. I want to surprise Nana. I know. Speak to Shirin anyway. Has something happened? Yeah. It has happened. What's happened? These chairs are not for Nana's birthday. We've not been well for two days. Our hearts are bleeding. We've lost someone who… Keyvan was Aras' friend. For Shirin and I, Keyvan was like a son. My condolences. Nana hadn't told me anything. I know, son. Thank you. Let me look, what are you cutting? - Here. Not the leaves, OK? And keep the stems a little longer. Oh no, it's falling to pieces more and more. It's nothing, we can fix it ourselves. I don't know why you like this ruin so much. It's not a ruin! It belonged to my granny. It can't be fixed. It's falling apart. Ours was even worse when we moved here. But we fixed it ourselves. It'd take Aras a month to turn it into something great. We are here as well and can help him. I'm saying let's leave. You aren't listening. And I'm saying let's stay. Why don't you listen? Do you know where Bora Bora is? What are these flowers called? You don't know? - No. Pointless flowers. Pointless? - Yes. Please give me another one. Why are you laughing? - Is pointless a name? Because they grow pointlessly, bloom pointlessly, spread pointlessly. And they grow all year round. That's why I call them pointless flowers. But it's so strange. As if there's a philosophy in their pointlessness. They're saying: Happiness doesn't need a reason. How do you know they are happy? Only happiness can make them so beautiful. Really? So you're so beautiful today because you're happy? OK, finished. Come close, come. You're so glamorous! Your highness, are you willing to be the prince of my dreams? Nana, who is Keyvan? Was he a criminal? - No. Then what? - I told you, they were looking for him. Who was looking for him? - I don't know, the police. What had he done? - He hadn't done anything. I'm sure the police had a reason. How do you know? The police have better things to do. They were after him because of his thoughts and beliefs. So he was politically active. Doesn't matter now. He's dead. No, it doesn't matter anymore. I don't like political people. Politics makes strange bedfellows. You can't trust political people. Why didn't anyone ever tell me about him? Never the right time. And then he was gone already. Didn't we promise to be honest with each other? To never lie to each other? - Have I lied to you? You didn't tell me the truth. What do you want to know? For years a stranger came to your house. Your father said he was like a son to him. Who was he? Don't I have a right to know? Why didn't anyone tell me about him? So he was family and I a stranger? You're right. I should've explained. Nothing was going on between us that could've upset you. I don't want to think about it now. Just let me be happy today. Was he hiding in here? - He was living here. It's nice here. Listen. I know this sound. It's Keyvan, he is singing. Javad, why are you doing that? Where are you going? Wait! Stop! I'm talking to you! Let me explain. It's not what you think! Nana, come. Stand up, let's go. I can't, my leg hurts. - What? Get up! I'll carry you across. I can manage. - Come on. I love your stubbornness. - Answer me. So don't you believe me? - No. Idiot! Keyvan was 10 years older than me. Nana, my dad was 12 years older than my mom. You're such an idiot. I love you! Keyvan was my teacher in a way. Not just me, but all the kids here loved him. That blue house was our school. Are you sad that he's dead? How can you laugh when you are this sad? What are they saying? Excuses. They're just giving excuses. They say they don't want a service. Only his family are to be at the funeral. They're even afraid of his dead body. Excuse us, Javad. We've only talked about death today. No, I understand. I hope these bad days pass soon. Yeah. We have to forget about it. We have to get past this. Aras, honey… Sorry. Let him grieve. Shirin, it's really cool here. But why did you give up your life and career to move back here? Have they ever asked you to do something that you shouldn't? Yeah. Like military service. From washing the dishes and cleaning the toilets. To marching and keeping watch. It's all forced. Forced labor. Why do you do it? If I don't, my military service becomes longer. You can't do anything before you finish your service. You can't work, earn money or get out of this country. And after all, military service is a law. Who decides the law? I don't know. Anyone who has more power than us. If some of these laws are forced, why can't you say no? I could if I wanted to. But it's just 2 years. I'll endure it. Then it's over. And even if I wanted to, I don't have the power. Your power is in saying no. If we say no, they'll destroy our lives. Hi. - Hi. Hi, how are you? Hi, thanks. Nice to see you. Same here. - I missed you. Go and get changed, the guests will be here any minute. Javad! Javad, are you OK? What are you doing here? - It's cold. I've been looking for you everywhere. - It's cold. Why are you so wet? My clothes are over there. What? - My things are over there, Your clothes? Why did you come here? What have you done? Come here. Wait. Do you have pants? Do you want to get changed? Nana, I killed him! - What are you saying? I killed him. I killed Keyvan. I myself pulled the stool from under his feet. They told me he is a criminal. They told me he must be executed. So I killed him. I just wanted three days off. I just wanted to be here for your birthday. Nana… I didn't know him. I didn't know him. I didn't know him. I'm cold. I'm cold. Will you take me home? I'm cold. Put this on. I don't want my family to know any of this. Come. Open your mouth. I told my mom we had a fight. Keyvan is gone. Even though we are sad today because of his absence, we're cele ating Nana's birthday anyway. Happy birthday! All the best on your birthday! May you always smile, may your heart be happy! May you live to be 100. Blow out the candles! All the best on your birthday! Dance with me. Stand up, stand up! Nana! I counted how many times you got three days off. Just let me be, Nana, don't agonize me. I feel bad about it. I love you so much, do you know that? Your safe em ace… The veins on your hands… Your oad chest… Let's just forget it. I'll miss you. Nana! Nana! Nana! Are you OK? Yes. She's coming. - Where? The one in the hoodie. Darya… Darya! It was a little weird but the flight was OK. Yes, the food was OK too. Dad we talked about me coming here. You don't need to worry. Everything is fine. I'm old enough. Uncle Bahram, my dad. Darya, honey… Hello, Mansour. Hi, I'm fine. How are you? Everything's fine. No need to worry. OK. Just… I just wanted to say thank you. I'm here at last. Welcome! How was your flight? It was the first time that I was with so many Iranians. It was cool. I was listening to them talking during the flight. It has a certain melody when they speak Persian, like a poem. Do you read Persian poems? No, but I'd like to start. We'll start reading poems together, then. Are you comfortable in a scarf? Is it OK? It's kind of cool. Yeah, it can be cool if you didn't have to wear it all the time. Tell me about uni. You're studying medicine? I just started. I'm not sure if I want to finish it. Then why did you start? I don't know, because of my dad probably. Mansour is a doctor and I think he wanted me to be one too. Sorry, I have to take this call. Hello. Thanks. - She's talking to Mansour. Is she alright? - Yeah, she's fine. It's just, she's behaving strangely. You can't get too close to her. What did you expect? Nothing. I just wanted to inform you. She's curious as to why you and Mansour forced her to come here. Sorry… - No problem. Come, Darya. Come in. Do you need a hand? - No, no. Goodnight. Goodnight. Doctor! - Mrs. Zaman! - Doctor! Help! My child! Doctor, help! - Mrs. Zaman, my child! Come in, over there. - My child is dying. Over there. What happened? A snake bite. When did it happen? - Half an hour ago. Did you see the snake? No, just heard the screaming. Take the hat off. Calm down. Where did the snake bite? The foot. - My child is dying! Don't worry. The doctor's here. Take the socks off. Calm down. Here. - Where? The snake bit here. It's not that swollen. Take her coat off. Calm down. It'll be fine. It's OK. Let her relax. How do you live here? Without the Internet or a phone. It's hard moving somewhere else after 20 years. Are you actually a doctor? - Why? Do the villagers just call you that or are you a real doctor. Well yeah, I'm a doctor. So you studied for it? - Yes, of course, I did. I studied at the same university as Mansour. Echt? - Echt? That means really? Yeah, really. I didn't know you studied together. Why don't you have a clinic? It's a long story. I'm going to be here for a few days, I'd like to hear the story. I'll tell you when the right time comes. This reminds me of my dad. Whenever he doesn't want to tell me something, he says, Another time. Driving here is very strange. Want to have a go? Here? No. Why not? I can't drive a stick and the roads look dangerous. But you don't really like driving. I do. It calms me down. Really? - Yeah. Strange! Because yesterday Zaman drove the whole way. Well, I don't have a driving license. Really? You have to open a hive door very gently. Because any sudden movement will provoke the bees into attacking you. Look. The queen lays her eggs here. Can you see the honey? We don't bother them in the winter. We just let them be. Only the temperature in the hive matters. And food for the bees. That's propolis. The bee does that. Bees do it to keep the hive warm, and to disinfect. We put their food in this frame. Something like honey or sweet flour. The bees come and eat it. In the middle of winter, the queen will lay eggs again. Put it down gently. Come in. Come in. Hi, doctor. Welcome. - Hi, Taghi. How are you? How are you? - Fine, thank you. What ings you here? Could you spare me a moment of your time? I have time. Please, come in. Nice to see you, doctor. He must've had his reasons. That's what makes it so interesting. You studied so long to become a doctor and then go and live in the desert with bees. This isn't a desert. Whatever. Why won't you tell me? It's not that easy. You could've said, After university, I didn't like medicine that much. Why is this so important to you? I'm scared that what I'm doing is not what I want. So far I've only done what I wanted. Always? Not always but most of the time. So, you are a happy man. Happy! Content! I think calm would be a better word. Yeah, I'm calm. What about you? - Me? I'm calm too. How did you two meet? Well, it was 10 years ago. The doctor was sick and came to our pharmacy. But he didn't have a prescription. But I needed to see a prescription. He got angry, yelling, I'm a doctor. I'm a talking prescription. What prescription? A talking prescription, one that can talk. And you gave him the medicine? - No, she didn't. No, I didn't. But oh well, it happened. The more I think about it, the more I realize I can't. It's not possible at all. Let's leave it for another time, Bahram? Will there be another time? Uncle Bahram! My dad wants to talk to you. Thanks. Hello, Mansour. Yeah, I'm still eathing. No, I'm waiting for the right time. My dad said you have a lot of poultry and cows here. I thought it was a proper farm. Mansour says funny things. He's 5000 km away, telling you tales. Telling tales of a place he's never been. No cows, but we used to have chickens. Where are they now? There is a fox here who used to come for them every night. No matter what we did, he didn't let them be. So, we gave up keeping poultry. You guys need a dog, then. That way the fox won't dare coming near them. We used to have a dog too. - You did? Yeah, one snowy night wolves ate it. Oh no! Then you need a fence around here. Kiss me. Kiss me. For the last time… Did you get a good rest? - Yeah. Wow, what a feast! Goodbye. May God protect you. I'm going towards my destiny. Our spring has passed, the past is the past and I'm going towards my destiny. In the middle of the storm, allied with the boatmen. Not afraid to die, I have to pass the storm. At midnight I promised my sweetheart to be faithful, that I'd light a fire in the mountains. I travel through the dark night, I walk unknown paths. Zaman! Bahram, spit it out! Don't let the blood back into your lungs. Are you done? OK, come. Come. Let me wash your mouth. Take this off. Are you OK? You'll sleep for several hours. When you wake up, you'll feel better. Yeah, there's everything: boars, bears… Bears? - Bahram, don't tease her. Maybe not bears but there are wolves. Come this way. You should come here in the spring. It is green everywhere. - Yeah. Don't laugh. But I feel like I've been here in the spring before. Do you see that up there? It's 1200 years old. Maybe you've been there. I forgot to ing the food. We don't need any food. - I'll get it. Don't go. - I'll be right back. Come. Have you ever shot a gun? No, but I think it's cool. Yeah, it's cool. You're probably a good shot, right? If you want, I can teach you. Do you really know its face? - Yeah. How? We looked each other in the eye a few times. Really? - Yeah. When it came for the poultry. I even spoke to it. I said, Don't do this. But it wouldn't listen. Came at night, took the chickens and was gone. Poor thing wanted some food. - At our farm? How could the poor fox know? What about the lives of my poor chickens? A wild animal hunts instinctively. You want to kill it with a gun. I'm just protecting my farm. The strongest will survive. I have a suggestion. You shoot it. I don't know how to shoot. It isn't hard. I'll teach you. I don't want to. I won't kill a living being. But sometimes you have to. I don't have to. Let's assume I force you to. You can't force me. Do you think forcing you would be hard? Darya! Darya! Stop! Darya, wait. What? Zaman? I had to tell her everything. Can I talk to her? No, she's not doing well at all. What was the point of this? I had to tell her the truth. Myself. Before I die. What use is the truth if it ruins someone's life? Will her life be ruined? Won't it? It's her right to know the truth. Your pills. She wants to talk to her father. Zaman, I'm her father. I'll get her and she can phone Mansour. Go to the other room. I'll come with you. I'll talk to her in the car. Bahram, she doesn't want to talk to you. She doesn't want to see you. Why don't you understand her? It's like her world has collapsed. She has a lot of questions. How do you dare tell me you're my father 20 years later? When you're just about to die. How can you be so selfish? My whole life I lived a lie because of you. We can't understand what you're saying. It's hard to live like this for 20 years. And it'll be easy for me now, yes? I wanted you here so I can tell you everything. I don't want to get mixed up with your story. Maybe you think you're my father. But you aren't. You're just my biological father. My father is the person who raised me. I talked to Mansour. He apologized to me for this 20-year-old lie of yours. Maybe I can forgive him someday, but I will never forgive you. I want to go home as soon as possible. I want to live with what I have. But you must listen to him. He's waited years to talk to you. Try to understand him. I understand that he didn't care about his family. He didn't want to kill one person. But killed two instead. He forced my mother's other to pretend to be my father for so many years. And he didn't care about his child. Right? I did care. That's why I wanted them to take you. I wanted, I wanted! You wanted everything. Even my mother's death. Your mother died on the way to you. An accident. Who sent her to Europe with smugglers? Your mother and I both decided that. Because we wanted her to be with you. Would you be happier if your father had executed the man back then? Family is more important than being a hero. I just didn't want to kill anyone. Why didn't you kill that fox? Did you want to be a hero? I didn't harm anyone by not shooting the fox. Your mother and Mansour were happy about my decision. Darya, your mother was proud that I gave up my whole life to avoid committing such an act. Do you know why? Because they had executed two of her others. She always asked me: What kind of animal could execute someone? But what about me? Did anyone ask my opinion? Honestly, we didn't know that we were expecting you. And if you had? Would you have decided differently? If I were to go back to my service days and had to execute someone again, I would again pull my weapon on the guard and flee. Here. Subtitling by SUBS Hamburg
(GROWLING) (GRUNTING) (GASPS) Look. Egads. See, professor? The ancient carvings, just as I promised you. - So the legend is true. - Whoa! Yes. It's all here, just as the manuscript describes. Ha-ha! I've found it at last. Come, Pemba. The lost kingdom of Shangri-la awaits. (JEFFRIES GRUNTS) What? I am sorry, professor. We dare not go further. These lands are forbidden. Forbidden? Ha-ha-ha! By whom? Look around. We're the only ones here. No... ...we are not alone. (ROARING) We should not be here. He is coming. Oof! No, Pemba. We can't quit now, not when we're so close. You do not understand. We must hurry. Then I'll go alone. (PEMBA YELLS) (GROANS) Wait! Professor! Professor! (GASPS) (ROARING) No! (PEMBA SCREAMS) (PEMBA GRUNTING) (PANTING) I have seen the creature. (DAPHNE SIGHS) Don't you just love Paris? The city, the sights, the shopping. Isn't it romantic, Freddie? (CELL PHONE BEEPING) Oh, man, I think I'm in love. This new cell phone rocks. It's got hi-def video, an MP3 player, even satellite GPS. I'm, like, totally geeking. Really? How can you tell? I don't know which is worse: Fred and his phone, or you and your newspapers. I thought we were supposed to be on vacation. We are. You know how I like reading in a foreign language. Listen to this, gang. Climbers on Mount Everest claim to have seen the abominable snowman... ...a mysterious creature believed to exist in the high Himalayas. Oh, no. Not this time, Velma. I don't care if it's in English, French or Swahili. There will be no talk of mysteries or monsters on this trip. Do you hear me? Yes, I hear you. Can I have my cheeks back now? Speaking of mysteries, Shaggy and Scooby were supposed to meet us... ...over an hour ago. Where could they be? Knowing those two, they've probably been sidetracked by their stomachs. Mmm. Yummy. (BELCHES AND LAUGHS) (SHAGGY CHUCKLES) What a great idea, Scoob. Like, I've always wanted to fly an all-you-can-eat airline. Yeah, me too. Like, gee whiz. Shouldn't we have landed in Paris by now? (GRUNTS) We're coming up on the drop zone. Mount Everest, dead ahead. Aha-ha! Mount Everest, tallest mountain in the world... ...and home to the abominable snowman. - So you're really going through with this? - But of course. I am Alphonse Lafleur, the world's greatest hunter. Now, I come in search of the world's greatest prize. But I thought the abominable snowman is just a myth. How do you catch a monster that may not even exist? (SPEAKS IN FRENCH) Ha-ha-ha! With a bait no monster can resist. (ALARM BUZZING) (SPEAKS IN FRENCH) What can they want now? Hello, anybody home? Hello? (SPEAKS IN FRENCH) And thank you for flying Alphonse Lafleur's Le Monde Grande Tours. We are going to be landing very shortly. Boy, are we glad to hear that. Like, my stomach is already coming in for a three-snack landing. (SPEAKS IN FRENCH) - You have eaten everything? - Almost. Like, I'm still saving the last slice of peanut butter and pineapple pizza... ...in case of an emergency. Hey. (SHAGGY SOBBING) Ah. The pooch is still hungry, no? We have lots of yummy goodies waiting for you in the VIP lounge. This is the VIP lounge? Oui, monsieur. You are on the package tour, no? I didn't know that that meant we were the package. Ohh... Ha-ha! (SCOOBY WHIMPERING) You said it, Scoob. Like, I think we've just been bumped from first class to worst class. (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAMING) (SPEAKS IN FRENCH) (SCOOBY WHIMPERING) Zoinks, like, now, we know how it feels to be lost luggage. (THUD) (CELL PHONE RINGING) As if things weren't bad enough, now my ears are ringing. Shaggy, cell phone. Cell phone. Hey, my cell phone. Like, world's worst vacation ever, Shaggy speaking. Shaggy? I can barely hear you. Where are you guys? Hang on, Freddie. Like, I think Scoob and I are about to go from frequent fliers to frequent criers. (BOTH WHIMPERING) (CELL PHONE BEEPS) Shaggy? Scooby? I've lost their signal. Can't you trace it with that high-tech GPS thingy? Yeah. With global positioning, I should be able to pinpoint their exact location. Just a little satellite tracking, and viola! Wait, this can't be right. Look. The Himalayas? Home to Mount Everest. And the headline-making mystery of the abominable snowman. Now, hold on. Just because there's a mysterious monster on the loose... ...it doesn't necessarily mean that Shaggy and Scooby will get in trouble. Does it? We've got to get to Mount Everest. Everybody in the van. Sorry, Daphne, but it looks like you're trading in your new heels for snowshoes. Oh, just once, I'd like to have a vacation that stays a vacation. (TIRES SCREECHING) Like, elevator going down. (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAMING) I'm very sorry, Pemba. I don't know what came over me. I should never have cut that rope. Without you, I quickly became lost... ...and wandered in the blinding snowstorm for hours. I barely made it back here alive. It is my own fault, professor. I should not have taken you as far as the forbidden lands. But you did, Pemba. And now the discovery of a lifetime is still within our grasp. The lost kingdom of Shangri-la... ...hidden from mankind for centuries. Why, it's an archeologist's dream. And it's right up there, just waiting for me. I mean, for us, of course. It's waiting for us. You may be right, but you forget. Something else is waiting there too. Don't you see? The abominable snowman must be guarding the secret entrance. - That's how close we are. - No. You do not understand. We have angered the creature, and now he will seek his revenge. That is why everyone is fleeing the village. Not everyone, it seems. Ah! Minga. - What are you doing here? - I've ought you some hot tea. No, I mean... (ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES) Hey, I'm listening to that. Why are you still in the village? You should be leaving with the others. I'm not a little girl anymore, Pemba. You can stop trying to frighten me with your monster stories now. Heh. Please excuse my sister, professor. She is as stubborn as a yak. So, Minga, you don't believe in the abominable snowman? When I was younger, Pemba used to try to scare me. The yeti is going to get you. Now he's going around telling everyone that he's actually seen the creature. I am not kidding this time. The yeti is real. (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAMING) We may be freezing cold, but we're coming in hot. (THUD) (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY GRUNT) (BOTH GRUNT) Egads. Are you all right? Did you eak anything? HIGH What is this intrusion? I humbly apologize, most high lama, but... The monastery is closed. Now, go away. But look. Two strangers have fallen from the sky. Huh? Ahh! Indeed. May I offer you something warm to drink, ah? You must be very cold and tired after your long journey, huh? (CHUCKLING) Like, you had us at warm. (TEETH CHATTERING) Uh-huh. (BOTH GROANING) (SCOOBY BURPS) I see you do not enjoy our yak-butter tea. Well, I'll say one thing. You can really taste the yak. Yuck. Do you mind if we use your phone? Our friends must think we've totally flaked on them. Like, snow-flaked, that is. Oh, other. I am sorry, but we have no such modern conveniences here. Like, wherever here is. Hmm. (SCOOBY GROANING) Yikes, Shaggy! Monster. Monster. (SHAGGY LAUGHS) That's no monster, Scooby-Doo. -It's just some kind of creepy carving. Huh? You have discovered our most sacred chamber. Like, way to go, Scoob. Why couldn't you discover something useful... ...like the refrigerator? Hee-hee-hee. Sorry. HIGH In this chamber, we offer sacrifices to the yeti. Half man and half animal... ...he lives in the snow caves, high on the mountain. Like, there goes the neighborhood. (SCOOBY WHIMPERING) What an extraordinary crystal. May I examine it... ...closer? No, you may not. The crystal is sacred. Its mystical glow protects us from the creature's evil power. (BOTH GULP) - Evil power? - Evil power? (LAFLEUR LAUGHING) Bonjour, mes amis! Ha-ha-ha-ha! I have found you. Look out, Scoob. It's that terrible tour guide. Yikes! Do you know this man? Yeah. Like, thanks to him, our grand tour took a grand detour. My sincerest apologies. There was a terrible mishap. I was so worried, that I jumped out of the plane myself... ...desperate to save you. Speaking of desperate, what about the rest of the gang? They must be worried sick about us. We're very popular, you know. Uh-huh. I know. Why don't you try calling your friends from the weather station? Weather station, eh? Well, what are we waiting for? Like, hook us up with that satellite hookup. It is a bit further up the mountain. I can take you there. The only place you are going is down the mountain. I would be honored to guide you to the weather station. I'll go too. With that snow creature out there, we'll have greater strength in numbers. (SPEAKS IN FRENCH) We will all climb the mountain together. HIGH Beware, gentlemen. The yeti is the watcher of the guarded places... ...a realm of terrible danger... ...where those who seek the unknown meet their doom. Like, whatever happened to bon voyage? Yeah. (SCOOBY WHIMPERS) Admit it, Freddie. We're lost. We're not lost. We're just taking a shortcut. Across Mongolia? Just keep an eye out for road signs to Timbuktu. So, Velma, what can you tell us about this abdominal snowman? Not abdominal, Freddie. It's pronounced abominable. (STUTTERING) There are a number of different theories regarding the abominable snowman. And there have been many photographs taken of the yeti's footprints. Hold it. Back up. Yeti footprints? What on earth is a yeti? The yeti is the name used by the local mountain people to describe the creature. So the yeti and the subliminal snowman are the same thing? Not subliminal, Fred. (STUTTERING) (FRED AND DAPHNE LAUGHING) - Now you've got me all mixed up. - I don't understand. What does any of this have to do with Shaggy and Scooby? There's no mystery there, Freddie. One thing we know for sure... ...those two always know how to find trouble. Scoob, old buddy, how did we ever wind up on this frozen freak-fest? I don't know, Shaggy. Like, what I wouldn't give right now for a nice warm Scooby Snack. Scooby Snacks? Ho-ho-ho! Well, why didn't you just say so? (SPEAKS IN FRENCH) Oh, boy. Scooby Snacks. Yeah. A whole year's supply of them. Ha-ha-ha! Like, maybe this trip wasn't such a bad idea after all, Scoob. Mountain climbing requires a lot of energy... ...so we must eat many times a day. Gee, Scoob, this sounds like a sport we could really sink our teeth into. Oh, yeah. That's the good stuff, Scoob. Yeah. How about you, professor? Like, got anything yummy to add to our impromptu potluck? Whoa. - Like, what is all this stuff? - Don't touch that. I'm sorry. But this equipment is very sensitive. We'd better keep moving. Gee whiz. His equipment's not the only thing around here that's sensitive. Yeah, sensitive. (YETI GROWLING) Man, Scoob... ...the air is so thin up here, like, I think my lungs are gonna pop. Yeah, mine too. We must keep moving. The weather station is only a bit further. I think we're being followed. (SPEAKING IN FRENCH) You see? What did I tell you, professor? She is stubborn as a yak. I was going to leave the village... ...but then I heard the weather report over the radio. There is a terrible snowstorm coming. I only followed to warn you. You and that radio. Every day, all you do is stare off into space... ...listening to that jabber- mouthed DJ playing his records. He's not a jabber-mouth. His beautiful voice is the only friend I have on this lonely mountain. Here, just listen. And here's a cut from their last album... ...recorded just before the band's tragic eakup. The song went on to become a one-hit wonder... ...after its use in a popular TV commercial for furniture polish. (MUSIC PLAYING) Wow, like, who would've thought... ...that you could get a radio station way up here? You can't. It is just the man at the weather station pretending to be a DJ. (GASPS) You have a crush on the weatherman. And now you're tagging along just for an excuse to meet him. That's not true. There is a storm coming. She is telling the truth. Look there. It could blow us right off this mountain. We've got to find shelter, and fast. We'll never make it. We're going to have to set up our tents here. - Huh? - You mean, like, camping? Out here, with that psychotic snowman on the loose? Scoob, old buddy, if there's one thing I don't like about this plan... ...it's everything about this plan. Yeah. (SCOOBY WHIMPERING) Okay, Scoob. You've got first watch. If that big-footed bogeyman shows his frozen face... ...he'll have to deal with Scooby-Doo, guard dog extraordinaire. Yeah. Guard dog. Scooby-Dooby-Doo. Hup, two, three, four. Hup, two, three, four. Hup, two, three, four. Like, Scoob, keep it down, will you? You wanna wake up the whole neighborhood? Oh. Hee-hee-hee. Sorry. (YETI ROARING) Ha-ha-ha! The creature. He knows we are here. (YETI ROARING) Zoinks, and, like, he doesn't sound too happy about it. Yeah. Mes amis, you cannot quit now. Sorry, like, Scoob and I need our beauty sleep. Not to worry, mes amis. Come. I show you something you like, eh? Like, it's a laser light show. You see? The traps, they are set. First I catch the monster... ...then Shaggy and Scooby, they will go home. - What? Huh? - What? Huh? Like, I get it now. You're no tour guide. No, mon frère. I am Alphonse Lafleur, the greatest hunter in all the world. And we're just monster bait to help you catch that ice-cold cretin. Yeah. Monster bait. (YETI ROARING) Zoinks! Aha-ha! At last, the creature, he is here. And, like, we're gone, man. Real gone. (LASERS BEEPING) (LAFLEUR YELLING) (GRUNTING) (GROANING) Ohh! (LAFLEUR SCREAMING) (YETI GRUNTING) (ROARS) Ooh... (YETI GROWLING) (FISH GIBBERING) (ROARS) (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAMING) What is going on out here? Like, you don't wanna know. Huh? (ROARING) (LASERS BEEPING) No! Zoinks! Like, if I wasn't freezing, I'd be having a major meltdown. (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAMING) (RUMBLING) (BOTH SCREAMING) Shaggy? Scooby? Is that really you? SHAGGY & Huh? It's me, Del Chillman. Wow, what are you guys doing up here? Would you believe it? We're on vacation. Yeah, vacation. (WIND HOWLING) So Shaggy and the poochie have hitched a ride, eh? No matter. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Where they go, the monster is sure to follow. Well, sorry you can't call the rest of the gang. It looks like the snowstorm has blocked out the satellite. But, boy, am I glad to see you guys. I don't get too many visitors up here. Oh, boy, hot chocolate. Yum, yum. The last time we saw you... ...all you cared about was the Loch Ness monster. Like, what happened? Nessie was a no-show. I was so bummed. But then it hit me. What if I got a job up here and used my free time... ...to search for proof of the abominable snowman? (MACHINE BUZZING) Hang on, guys. (DEL CLEARS THROAT) (IN DJ VOICE) Hello, out there. Today's weather report: A major snowstorm is blowing through... ...with highs in the low minus 40s. You're chilling with Del Chillman... ...spinning music for your mountain morning. (BLUES MUSIC PLAYING) Wow, this is some groovy collection you've got here. Yeah. So, like, your big assignment is to be a radio disc jockey? (IN NORMAL VOICE) Well, I'm only supposed to read the weather report... ...but it got lonely after a while. It helps to have someone to talk to, even though nobody's really listening. Except for this. Check it out. Cool, huh? On you, it looks good. It just showed up one day, along with this note. Listen. Dear Del, I listen to your show every day. I hope you never leave the mountain. Wow. Once I heard that, I knew I just had to keep on rocking, man. I only wish I could stay longer. Like, Signed, your number one fan. Hmm. Hey, I've got an awesome idea. Why don't you guys be the guest DJs on today's show? DJ? - Like, Scoob and me, as DJs? - Sure. You two can stay here and watch the station... ...while I head out to search for the other members of your party. (CHUCKLING) Like, Scoob and I can just keep the party going here. Yeah, yeah. Party. All right, then. Now, remember, that monster is still out there somewhere. So while I'm gone, whatever you do... (WHISPERING) ...do not open this door. Don't worry about us. The last thing we want is another run-in with that winter-wonder weirdo. Uh-huh. (SCOOBY MAKING SCRATCHING NOISES) (SCOOBY CHUCKLING) Wow, that sure was a long drive, but we made great time. I can't even feel my legs anymore. Are you sure this is the right place, Freddie? I think so, but I'm not sure. -My phone can't find a signal up here. Hey, wait. You can't just leave us here. No. This mountain is cursed. The yaks are unhappy, for they feel the yeti's power. Come on, girls. We're going home. Okay. Deserted village, yeti's curse, creepy yak guy. Yeah, we're in the right place. Hello? Anybody home? - Jeepers, this place gives me the creeps. - Check it out. (DAPHNE GASPS) Scooby Snacks! And where there's Scooby Snacks, Shaggy and Scooby won't be far away. Don't be so sure, Freddie. Come take a look. Hey, those look like Shaggy and Scooby's tracks. But why would they be heading up the mountain? I don't know, gang, but I've got a hunch our next clue... ...will be waiting for us in thin air. (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING) Like, greetings, radio listeners. Shaggy and Scooby, oadcasting live from the top of the world... ...spinning stacks of wax for all you frostbitten fans out there. Right, Scoob? (LAUGHING) Hey, Scoob. You wanna hear my radio voice? Yeah. (LAUGHS) (IN DJ VOICE) Like, put down your snow shovel and pick up that thin-air guitar. It's time to stay in and rock out. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYING) (YETI GROWLING) What happened here? Daphne, freeze. I'm way ahead of you, sister. No, freeze, as in, don't move. (DAPHNE GASPS) Jeepers. Giant footprints. They must belong to the adorable snowman. Hold on, gang. There's something awfully strange about these tracks. I'll say. This snowman must wear a size-50 snowshoe. But look closer. The creature's footprint, while larger in size... ...only sinks half as deep into the snow as Daphne's. But that doesn't make sense. How could I weigh more than a snow monster? There's got to be a reasonable explanation for this. (MAN MOANS) Hey, gang, over here. (MOANS) And that is the last thing I remember. I don't know what happened to the others. Don't worry, Pemba. By reading the footprints in the snow... ...we should be able to reconstruct the attack. From the looks of these tracks... ...I'd say Professor Jeffries snuck away on his own. But why go climbing by himself at night, in the middle of a snowstorm? What about Minga? I do not see her footprints anywhere. It's like she just vanished. Well, gang, it looks like we've got a mystery on our hands. Jinkies, look. It's a radio. (PEMBA GASPS) That's Minga's. She never goes anywhere without it. Then she must've dropped it as the creature carried her away. You mean, Minga has been kidnapped by the abominable snowman? Oh, this is all my fault. I should never have returned to the mountain. And what about Shaggy and Scooby? They must still be out there somewhere. Oh, Scooby-Doo. Where are you? (ECHOING) SCOOBY (ON RADIO): Scooby-Dooby-Doo. Ha-ha-ha! Like, that's right, old buddy. It's Scooby and Shaggy. They're on the radio. And now, for all you mountain music lovers... ...it's time for your mid- morning traffic report. There's a six-yak pileup on the Tibetan tri-level... ...got you backed up all the way to the K2 off-ramp. So if you're traveling by yak this morning... ...try to give yourself an extra day or two, folks. (DRUMMING) What is it, Scoob? Can't you see I'm oadcasting here? (STAMMERING) Hey, you're right. Like, I forgot to check the temperature. Oh, better wear your mittens today, folks. It's a chilly 15 degrees below zero out there. (SHAGGY SCREAMS) (YETI ROARING) And, like, with a hundred- percent chance of snow monsters! Ladies and gentlemen... ...we interrupt our scheduled program to ing you this special report. Like, live, as it happens. Hang on, folks. I've just been handed this important bulletin: Like, Help! (GROWLS) (BOTH WHIMPERING) (ROARS) Huh? Ah, table for one, monsieur? Like, your menu, sir. (ROARING) (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAMING) (BOTH CHUCKLE) Okay, Scoob, hit him with the old one-two. Yeah, one-two. Scooby-Dooby-Doo. (GROWLING) (SCOOBY WHIMPERING) Come on, champ. Give him the old double, backwards, super-duper Scooby spin. (YETI ROARING) (CROWD CHEERING) (BELL RINGS) (YETI ROARS) (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAM) (ROARING) We're trapped, Scooby-Doo. (SCOOBY SOBBING) - Help! - Help! (STATIC ON RADIO) Jinkies, we've lost them. We've got to get to that weather station, and fast. It is not far. You will see it just over that ridge. I am going to search for Minga... ...in the monster's cave. Pemba's right. We should split up. Daphne, you and I will head over to the weather station. No, thanks, Freddie. I'm going with Pemba. Okay, that's... Huh? You can pair up with Velma this time. Lucky me. All right, gang. Let's solve this mystery before Shaggy and Scooby wind up in the deep freeze. (ROARING) (BOTH SCREAMING) Aha-ha-ha! You think you can outsmart... ...Alphonse Lafleur, eh, beastie? (SHAGGY LAUGHS) Like, what took you so long? A couple of more seconds and we would've been abominable appetizers. Yeah. What did I tell you, huh? You must think like the creature, no? Whoa! Okay, maybe not so much thinking next time. (LAFLEUR SCREAMING) You come for Lafleur, eh? No, no, no. Lafleur has come for you. (ICE CRACKING) Huh? Hm. Oh, no. (LAFLEUR SCREAMS) (SPEAKING IN FRENCH) Monsieur Lafleur, he's gone. (SCOOBY WHIMPERING) Zoinks, like, lucky him. (YETI ROARING) SHAGGY & Huh? SHAGGY & Whoa! (BOTH GRUNT) (AIR HISSING) (SHAGGY SCREAMS) Shaggy. (YETI ROARING) (YETI GRUNTING) (SCOOBY GIGGLES) Hang on, Scoob. I'm hitching a ride. (YETI ROARING) Ha-ha-ha! We made it. Scoob, old buddy, point this balloon toward Coolsville... ...and let's go home. Okay. There's the weather station, directly across the valley. (ENGINE APPROACHING) Listen, Freddie. Do you hear that? - Fred? Velma? - Del? Man, I thought you guys were in Paris. You've got to be kidding me. I asked them to fill in for me on the radio while I went out to look for the others. Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby were here... ...with more monster than they could handle. Maybe there was something else the snowman was after... ...besides Shaggy and Scooby. According to these inventory records, a few of your helium tanks are missing. - My what? - Helium tanks? Yeah, we use helium to fill up the weather balloons, but... They're missing? What would a snow creature want with pressurized helium? Whoa. Take a look at this. This is so weird. That looks like a seismograph. A device used to detect underground vi ations. I knew that. And it's picking up some really strange vibes deep inside the mountain. Then maybe the next place to search for clues won't be on the mountain... ...but in it. Hello? Anybody home? Minga, are you in here? Ow! - Are you all right? - I'm fine... ...but I think I just stubbed my toe on a clue. Helium? How strange. And look, the gauge is on empty. I'm starting to think this abominable snowman... ...may be less snow and more man. Okay, Scooby-Doo, you got us up here. Now, like, how are we gonna get down? Uh... Hmm. Ah! Whoa! Like, don't look now, Scoob... ...but I think our stock is about to take a serious plunge. (BOTH SCREAMING) Well, what do you know? Ha-ha-ha! That wasn't so bad after all. Huh? HIGH Do not be afraid, my young travelers. Zoinks, like, who's afraid? I am. I am wondering. What are you doing among the gravestones of the spirits? (BOTH STAMMERING) - Gravestones? - Gravestones? (ECHOING) Fear not, honored ones. Your good karma has at last ought you to safety. Welcome to the lost kingdom of Shangri-la. Wow, the vibes in this place are too groovy for words. And, like, it's done wonders for your complexion. HIGH For thousands of years... ...this mystical valley has been the source of eternal youth. Those who discover Shangri-la can never grow old... ...so long as they stay. Yeow! (SCOOBY SCREAMING AND WHIMPERING) Like, what is it now, Scooby-Doo? He pulled my tail. Pulled tail. Like, you say somebody pulled your tail? (MONKEYS LAUGHING AND GIBBERING) Hey, like, those chimps must think we're a couple of chumps. Oh, yeah? (SCOOBY GROWLING AND BARKING) (MONKEYS GIBBERING) Like, nobody makes a monkey out of you, right, Scooby-Doo? Yeah. (IMITATING MONKEY) (GIGGLING) Ha-ha-ha-ha. Apparently, I spoke too soon. HIGH Ha-ha-ha. Indeed. This way, my friends. You may stay as long as you wish. You know, Scoob, I could get used to a place like this. Yeah, me too. According to the data from the seismograph... ...this should be the right spot. (DEL YELLS) (ALL SCREAMING) Jinkies. The underground vi ations must be coming from down there. Come on, gang. It's time to put this mystery on ice. Boy, Scoob, that High Lama sure seemed like an awfully wise man. But, like, you'd think, he'd have remembered... ...to tell us where to ush our teeth. Gee, for such a peaceful people, they sure had a lot of creepy paintings. Yeah, creepy. Check this guy out, Scoob. Ha-ha-ha. Like, he must be the god of bad eath. (LAUGHING) Huh? (SNIFFS) Hmm. Yuck. And who's this? Like, talk about a bad hair day. Somebody paint this guy a hat. (SCOOBY LAUGHING) Now, this guy's the ugliest one of them all. Hm? Huh? (SCREAMS) You're not kidding, Scoob. Like, who'd be his date for the prom? Tyrannosaurus rex? (SHAGGY LAUGHING) Shaggy... I mean, with a face like that, he could go as himself for Halloween. (LAUGHING) Like, he's so ugly, he probably has to sneak up on himself in the mirror. (ROARING) Zoinks, it's the abominable snowman! And, like, I don't think he appreciates my honesty. Yikes! We gotta find someplace to hide from that bipolar polar bear. (YETI ROARING) (BOTH SCREAMING) Like, check it out. This tunnel's got a split personality. Shaggy? Scooby? Is that you? Guys, it is you. Scooby-Dooby-Doo. And, like, Shaggy too. Don't even think about it. (SHAGGY GRUNTS) Hey, guys. So, what happened up there? (RUMBLING) (ALL GRUNTING) More like, what's happening down here? Jeepers. Was that an explosion? Check it out. Like, where did you guys come from? I'd love to catch up, but we can't stay here. This cave could collapse at any moment. (EXPLOSION) (RUMBLING) (ALL YELLING) Jeepers. Wow. It's some kind of crystal cavern. Now, this is what I call an underground scene. Look. There's somebody down there. It's Professor Jeffries. (JEFFRIES LAUGHING) Fire in the hole. So I did. Oh, Professor Jeffries, you are illiant. Simply, marvelously illiant. Come on, gang. I've got a plan to catch this crystal-craving creep. (JEFFRIES LAUGHING) Once I get down this desolate mountain... ...it'll be nothing but room service and warm, sunny beaches. The crystal! Like, looking for this? Come back here with that crystal. Finders keepers. Zoinks! And, like, losers snoozers. Mush, Scoob. Mush. Mush. Hit it! (JEFFRIES YELLING) A textbook example of how to catch a would-be snow monster. What? No, you've got it all wrong. I'm not the snowman. It all makes perfect sense. Professor Jeffries has been using the legend of the abominable snowman... ...to scare everyone off the mountain. I hate to interrupt, but it looks like there's still a few scares left... ...to this snow-monster mystery. (ROARING) Come on, gang, we gotta skedaddle. All aboard the Snowman Express. Whoa! You're not out of this race yet, Jeffries, old boy. (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAMING) (ROARS) (ALL SCREAMING) (ROARING) (JEFFRIES LAUGHING) The crystal is mine! (FRED AND DEL GRUNT) The lost treasure of Shangri- la is lost no more. You can have it. And, like, what a deal. It comes with a matching snowman. (YETI ROARS) (GASPS) Ha-ha! (LAUGHING) (RUMBLING) (ALL SCREAMING) This is going to hurt! (ALL GROANING) I was right. That hurt. - Is everybody okay? - Yeah. What about Shaggy and Scooby? They must still be inside the mountain somewhere. Okay, gang. I've got a plan to catch this freezer-burned bogeyman. But we'll have to work fast. Come on. Del, you are driving. Right on. Ha-ha-ha! Jeffries, old boy, nothing can stop us now. Hey, professor. Don't look now, but I think you're about to get schooled. Huh? (JEFFRIES GROANS) (YETI ROARS) (JEFFRIES SCREAMING) (YETI GRUNTING) Like, I can't see a thing, Scoob. How about lighting one of those candles? Zoinks, like, that's no candle. It's a stick of dynamite! Dynamite. (SHAGGY AND SCOOBY SCREAMING) (SHAGGY LAUGHING) - Whew. - We made it, Scoob. We're alive. (RUMBLING) Huh? Whatever you're doing, Scoob, like, do it faster. Ta-da! Like, far out. Come on, Scoob. Like, let's shred this mountain before it shreds us. (BOTH GRUNTING) Way to go, Scoob. Way to go. Ha-ha-ha! Like, who knew you were such a hot dog? Scooby-Dooby-Doo. (SCOOBY YODELS) Hate to be a back-seat boarder, but, like, what happens... ...when we run out of mountain? Huh? Okay, I think that should do it. Man, when they hit this baby, it's gonna be sweet. Way to go, guys. The slope looks perfect. Once they hit this last ramp, they'll catch air over the monastery wall... ...boosting right into the trap we made from the climbing ropes. And not a minute too soon. Here they come. It's Shaggy and Scooby. Uch. They're headed right for the trap. (BOTH GRUNTING) Yahoo! (BOTH YELLING) (BOTH GRUNTING) (BOTH LAUGHING) Man, Scoob, that was one epic ride. Yeah, epic. (JEFFRIES LAUGHING) Sorry, old chum, but this mountain's just not big enough for the both of us. (YETI ROARS) (JEFFRIES LAUGHS THEN GASPS) (JEFFRIES SCREAMING) (JEFFRIES GRUNTING) Ha! Extraordinary. Yeah, man. It worked! Ha, ha! (RUMBLING) Uh, Del...? Hang on, Velma. Oh, I'm hanging. They're not gonna make it. (GASPS) Whoa! Del! Jinkies! (YETI INHALING) Look. A flying abominable snowman? My mind is blown. That's no snowman. (SCOOBY GASPS) Try snow-woman. Minga. Minga Sherpa has been behind this monster mystery... ...from the very beginning. She used the helium tanks from the weather station... ...to fill her monster costume. That's how the yeti was able to climb so easily. And that's also why the monster's footprints... ...didn't sink very deeply into the snow. I'm very sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone. But I don't understand. Why did you do it? All I really wanted was to listen to Del Chillman on the radio. You see, I am your number one fan. Really? When I learned that you were going to be leaving the mountain... ...I ought the yeti to life as a way of keeping you here. So, like, that's why she's trying so hard to scare us all. She just wanted to convince Del to stick around. Wow, that's so... (IN DJ VOICE) I mean, it's real cool, mama. (MINGA GIGGLING) As for Professor Jeffries... ...he was just using the legend of the yeti to cover up his scheme. And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids... ...and that mountain-climbing mutt, Scooby-Doo. Who, me? So, like, is the abominable snowman just a myth after all? No, mes amis. SHAGGY & Alphonse Lafleur? The abominable snowman is real. Like, you're alive? Amazingly, I survived my terrible fall... ...from the high cliff. As I lay unconscious in the snow... ...something rescued me. The next thing I know, I found myself... ...out on the mountain, all alone. I can remember nothing else. Zoinks, like, I think, you remembered plenty. Uh-huh. So there really is an abominable snowman? Right on. Sorry for all the trouble I've caused. Gee, Minga, what you did is so romantic... ...in a kind of twisted way, which I like. I'm just not sure where we go from here. I've got an idea. (DEL SPEAKING IN FRENCH) (MINGA GIGGLING) Oh, I am loving the Paris. Like, us too. They say Paris is for lovers, right, Scoob? Ha-ha-ha! Well, I'm in love with this springtime spread. Oui, oui, Shaggy. Where's Freddie? He was supposed to meet us here an hour ago. (CELL PHONE RINGING) Can you believe it, Scoob? My ears are ringing again. It's your phone. Sheesh. Like, hello. Uh, guys? I think I got on the wrong plane. Here we go again. Ohh. Now where? Like, step on it, Scoob. Next stop, the Amazon jungle. (TIRES SCREECHING) Scooby-Dooby-Doo. (SCOOBY LAUGHING)
I remember those cheers. They still ring in my ears, and for years they remain in my thoughts. 'Cause one night, I took off my robe, and what did I do? I forgot to wear shorts. I recall every fall, every hook, every jab... the worst way a guy can get rid of his flab. As you know, my life wasn't drab. Though I'd much... Though I'd rather hear you cheer when you delve... Though I'd rather hear you cheer when I delve into Shakespeare. A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse! I haven't had a winner in six months. And though I'm no Olivier, I would much rather... And though I'm no Olivier, if he fought Sugar Ray, he would say that the thing ain't the ring, it's the play. So give me a stage where this bull here can rage, and though I can fight, I'd much rather recite. That's entertainment. That's entertainment. Jake La Motta and Jimmy Reeves in the Cleveland Arena. La Motta is undefeated, but he's well behind on points. The Bronx Bull has taken a lot of punishment in this bout, Jake is cut around the left eye. Jimmy Reeves has outboxed him... Jack, tell me why. Why the fuck do we have to come to Cleveland for you to get beaten by a moolinyan? Come on, Jack. Do the fuckin' right thing here, will you? He's got you by the balls, Jake. You're outpointed. You're coming up for the tenth. You're gonna have to knock him out. I want you to bite him, kick him, do anything you gotta do. Nobody's looking. You know what to do. Listen to Joey. Just like home. All over the fucking moolie. Knock the motherfucker out. You understand? Knock him out. Hey, you wanna go in there? You wanna go in and do it? Help! We need a knockout. Let's go get a knockout. That's where it's at. Tenth and final round. Good luck to you both. La Motta fighting out of a half-crouch. Reeves is up against a tough fighter, a man who doesn't know how to back up. La Motta continues to bore in. La Motta, out of the bob and weave, hooks a left hand to the jaw, and Reeves is down! The crowd is urging Jake on. The referee is tolling over Reeves. He's got to get up. La Motta comes at him once again, Reeves misses a right, takes a left, and another left, a hard left hand to the jaw, and Reeves is down for the second time. And a determined Jake La Motta is making a great comeback here in the tenth round. Reeves is up again. La Motta comes at him. A left hook to the jaw, another left, and a right to the body. Three more lefts to the midsection, a hook on the jaw, two more lefts to the head, a right and a left to the jaw by La Motta and Reeves goes down for the third time. And the referee is pulling La Motta away. Two, three... - Four, five, six, seven... - The referee is counting over Reeves. - But time is running out. - Eight, nine... And there is the bell. He can't walk, but Reeves has been saved by the bell. But did La Motta do it soon enough? Jack, Jack, come here. It's no good. This is Ohio, not New York! You waited too long! That dumb bastard! Put my robe on right, huh? Put my robe on right! Ladies and gentlemen. Under the rules of the Ohio Boxing Commission, after ten rounds, the winner, by unanimous decision... - Jimmy Reeves! - The colorful Jake La Motta, the Bronx Bull, has lost his first fight. That's Jake's fight! Come on! That's Jake's fight! Jake won that fight! Don't leave. Don't get outta the fuckin' ring. Stay here. You won. Let him go first. Stay in, I'm telling you. La Motta floored Reeves seven times in the fight, but La Motta still lost the fight. Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! Help! He's on his fuckin' back. They pick up his arm, he's dead. They tell him he won the fight. People went crazy. That shit would've never happened if Tommy was there taking care of it. He's gotta be with Tommy to fight in New York, to get a title shot. He's gonna wind up fuckin' punch-drunk, your other. - I know. - You know. You gotta make him understand it's the best thing for everybody involved. - I said I know. - You know. But you gotta make him know. Tell him. Make him understand it. Jesus Christ, you know when to stop? When the fuck you gonna stop with all that stuff? I told you, I understand everything. He just wants to do things for himself, that's all. Hard to understand? It's because he's got a head like concrete. You make me laugh. You think it's easy? Why don't you talk to him? - You know what to say. - You know I can't talk to him. - Why can't you talk to him? - 'Cause he don't like me. Nobody likes you. You ought to be used to that. They knew. They knew who was the boss. The judges didn't know. Who knows what happened with them? The people knew. You don't believe me. You thought I was over there fooling around, huh? You thought I was fooling around, didn't you? Tell me the truth. I ain't doing no fooling around. - That's in your mind. - Yeah? So what? With that championship belt on me, that's when I fool around. Is it done? No, it's not done. Don't overcook it. You overcook it, it's no good. It defeats its own purpose. What are you doing? I just said don't overcook it. You're overcooking it. Bring it over. - You want your steak? - Bring it over. Bring it over! It's like a piece of charcoal! Bring it over here! - You want your steak? - Yeah, right now! Good. There's your stupid steak. - Can't wait for it to be done? - No, I can't wait. Good. Okay? Happy? - Happy? - That's all I want. - That's... — There. No, more. There. Bothering me about a steak, huh? - You're bothering me about a steak? - Yeah! I agree with you. He should be with Tommy. If he's in a good mood, I'll talk to him. What the fuck you want me to do? Joey, Tommy tells me every day to talk to you and speak to Jake to straighten this thing out. I'm gonna wind up in the middle of this thing. You're in the middle? I'm his other. - He's got me fuckin' nuts. - You're his other. If you can't talk to him, who's gonna talk to him? - I'll talk to him. - Do what you can, that's all - That's all I'm asking you. - I'll see you tomorrow. - Let me go up. - All right? Where you gonna be? I'll be at the gym or the other joint, one of the two. - I'll catch you by the gym. - All right. Sal? - Yeah? - Go fuck yourself. Complain some more. I wanna hear. - Complain? You call those carrots? - That's right. - You call that food? - You ate 'em. Did you eat them? You call that food? I got no choice! - I'm sick of you already! - I got no choice! - I can't believe you! - I got no choice! I got no choice! You got no choice? Get away from me! - Please! - Get in there. Get in there! Get your hands off me! Get away from me! Fuck! I'm sick of you! What's the matter with you, you animals? - What? - Jack, come on! - You animals! - Come on, huh? This son of a bitch is calling me an animal. - Hey, you! - Come on, Jack. I'm gonna get ahold of that dog, and I'm gonna eat it for lunch! You hear what I'm saying? You hear me, Larry? Larry? You crazy animal! Who's an animal? Your mother's an animal! You son of a bitch! You're gonna find your dog dead in the hallway tomorrow, you bum.

I got these small hands. I got a little girl's hands. I got 'em too. What's the difference? Know what that means? No matter how big I get, no matter who I fight, no matter what I do, I ain't never gonna fight Joe Louis. That's right. He's a heavyweight. You're a middleweight. We know that. I ain't never gonna get a chance to fight the best there is. And you know something? I'm better than them. I ain't never gonna get a chance. You're asking me what's wrong. You're crazy to even think about something like that. He's a fuckin' heavyweight, you're a middleweight. It's impossible, it'll never happen, so why go crazy thinking about it? It's not normal. Do me a favor. - Yeah, what? - I want you to hit me in the face. - What? - I want you to hit me in the face. Forget about it. Joey, I want you to hit me in the face. Go ahead. - Go ahead.

I told you I didn't wanna do it in the first place, didn't I? No, you didn't say that. You're the one that told me you could get down to 155 pounds. Where'd I get it? Did I pull it out of the fuckin' air? I don't know if I'm gonna make it down to 155. I'm lucky I make it to 160. And on top of that, you sign me for a fight at 155, and if I don't make the 155, I lose $15,000? That's right. You're supposed to be a manager! You're supposed to know what you're doing! - I did just what I wanted to do. - That's what I'm worried about, you... - You want a title shot? - What are you talking about? - Do you want a title shot? - What am I, in a circus over here? I ask him, he's got more sense about this. What are you doing? You been killing yourself for three years now, right? There's nobody left for you to fight. Everybody's afraid to fight you. Okay, along comes this kid Janiro. He don't know any better. He's a young kid, up and coming, he'll fight anybody. Good. You fight him. Bust his hole. Tear him apart. Right? What's the biggest thing you got to worry about? - I'm worried about the weight. - You're worried about the weight? What are we arguing about for? I just said the weight. Okay, let's say you lose because of your weight. Are they gonna think you're not as tough as you were? You're not the same fighter? Good. They'll match you with all those guys they were afraid to match you with before. What happens? You'll kill 'em. And they gotta give you a title shot. - Bring me coffee, please. - Why? There's nobody else. Nobody's left. - Who they gonna give it to? - Coffee. - In a minute. - You listening to me? - Please, honey, ing me the coffee. - All right. - How long I gotta wait? - Are you listening? Now let's say you win, you beat Janiro. Which you definitely should beat him, right? - Yeah. - Right? Yeah. They still gotta give you a shot at the title. You know why? - Why? - 'Cause the same thing as before. There's nobody left. There ain't nobody around. They gotta give you the shot. You understand? If you win, you win. If you lose, you still win. There's no way you can lose, and you do it on your own, just the way you wanted to do it, without any help from anybody. You understand? Just get down to 155 pounds, you fat bastard. Stop eating. What's the problem? Stop eating, that's all. You can do it. You don't understand anything. Do you understand that? Joey's right. This Janiro is an up-and-coming fighter. He's good-looking, he's popular. You beat him now... Excuse me. What do you mean, good-looking? I'm not saying good-looking. I'm saying popular. If you win... Who are you to say good-lookin', popular? I'm not saying anything. I'm just telling you Joey's right. Are you an authority, or what? - Nothing... - Get outta here. Get outta here. Take the baby and get outta here. Everybody all of a sudden's an authority about this. Where'd she find out he's good-looking, first of all? She didn't mean nothing. - Who asked you? - You gonna start with me now? When people are talking, you don't interrupt. It's none of your business, especially if it's my other and his wife. Ain't got nothing to do with you. Get outta here. Go inside. Take the baby inside. Come on. Let's leave the grouches here, okay? - Come on. - Change her diapers. Can't you see she... - She's gonna cry. She stinks. - You make her cry. - I'm gonna make you cry. - Yeah. Come on. Come on. They're a couple of babies. 155 pounds. Let's go to the training camp. No distractions, no wives, no phone calls. Nobody around to bother you. I'll write out your usual schedule, your usual diet... Listen, I wanna ask you something. When I'm away, you ever notice anything funny going on with her? - With who, Vickie? - Yeah. Like what? What do you think I mean? No, I don't no... I don't notice anything. I want you to keep an eye on her, all right? For what, Jack? She don't do anything wrong. I want you to keep an eye on her when I'm away, all right? You just start trouble for nothin'. I'm telling you, you're crackin' up. Joey, I got a reason, all right? You and I both know, any woman, given the right time, the right place, the right circumstances, they'll do anything, right? I mean, anything's possible. All right? - You're right. - You ought to know. You're not wrong, but you're picking on this girl, 'cause I saw you before. You're worried about your weight, you're getting aggravated, and you tell her, what do you... Go inside. Who asked you? Bothering her for that, you're gonna give her an excuse to go out. - She was talking about a guy. - So? So what? She was talking on your behalf, she wasn't... On my behalf? She was talking about a pretty kid, saying he's good-looking. What are you talking about? So you make him ugly. What's the difference? - Never mind. Just do it. - All right. You know what you should do? Go inside and be nice to her. Make up with her. Tell her you're gonna take her out. We'll go out. You wanna go out before you go away, don't you? This way, you go away with a clear head. You know you took her out. You wined and dined her. You had a good time. - All right? - All right. - Where you wanna go? - Well, out, you know. - All right. - All right? Listen, though, if you tell her now, pull her on the side. Don't say nothing in front of Lenore. - 'Cause I'm not taking her. - What's in your head? - All right. - Think I'm gonna tell her? - Do what you're gonna do. - Oh, I am. Hey. Hey. Hey. Come here. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It's great to be back in the Copa lounge. What a great audience. Come on, lady, laugh it up. I laughed when you come in. But seriously speaking, folks, we have a special guest with us tonight. I'd like to introduce the world's leading middleweight contender, the Bronx Bull, the Raging Bull.

Listen, I'm over here with Tommy and some of the old gang. - Get a chance, come over, have a drink. - See you later. - Hello, Jake. How are you? - How you doing? You're not drinking, are you? - Joey, how are you? - How you doing, Sal? - Look like you're having a ball over here. - Yeah. I'm over there with Tommy Como. Why don't you come over, have a drink? Tommy's here? I didn't even see him come in. I'll see you later, Joey. Hey, that's some suit. He looks good, huh, Jack? I thought that was my best joke. Hey, look who's here. - Hi, Vickie. - Hi, Vickie. Hey, Vickie. - Say hello to Tommy. - How are you, honey? Good to see you. Say hello to Charlie. - Sit down, have a drink. - I can't. I have to get back to Jake. - I just came by to say hello. - All right, honey, thanks for coming by. - Not a bad kid, that Vickie, you know. - She's with that fucking gorilla. She must've caught a hundred beatings off that guy. - What took you so long? - I went by Tommy's table to say hello. I saw you say hello to them. But what took you so long? Nothing. I said hello. I came back. - What else did you say? - He asked me if I wanted a drink. I said, no, Jake and Joey are over there, and I left. What were you talking to Salvy for? He asked me if Joey was there. I said, he's over there. Then he said, Tommy's over there. Why don't you go say hello? And I did. Are you interested in him? No. Why would I be interested in him? - You sure you're not interested in him? - Yeah. In other words, you're not interested in him, but you could be interested in somebody? Jake, don't start, huh? You're still mad about some stupid... Hey, shut up, or I'm gonna smack you in the face. You embarrass me. These are from Mr. Como. Shall I take the... - What? - Should I take this? - Are you finished? - I'm not through with it. - Okay. - These are the jokes, folks. I tell you the truth, it's so... Hi. How are you, you bald-headed fag? - Hey, Joey. - Tommy, thanks for the drinks. - Oh, come on. Anytime. - Charlie, how are you? - How you doing, Joey? How's everything? - Hi. - Where's Jake? - He's over there. He don't wanna come. - If you call him, he'll come. - All right. - I'll be right back. - Here he comes. What is it? You don't call anybody anymore. We never see you anymore. For crying out loud. You never come around anymore? You can't even make a call? What is it? I'm busy. I'm going away fighting. I'm busy. Busy, busy. Look at him taking me seriously. I'm only kidding you. What a fucking kid. - That's the best fuckin' fighter around. - Hey, Jake. - How you doing? - Them moolinyans. Forget about it. They're all afraid to fight you. - How you feeling? All right? - I'm all right. - Good? Strong? - Strong, yeah. I'm doing okay. Then Janiro's gotta watch his ass, right? I think he should. Last three, four times, I won nothing but money with the guy. He's no piece of cake. That's a good fighter. Very attractive guy. All the girls like him. No marks. Clean. Jake, am I wrong? Did you gain a few pounds? A few pounds. I'll knock it off right away though, no problem. Right off, right off. Look, let me ask you something. I'm just talking now, just talking. I come to you, and I'm telling you that I'm gonna bet a lot of money on you in this fight with Janiro, right? Yeah? Well, what would you tell me? What could you say to me? I would say bet everything you got. - Everything? - Everything. 'Cause I'm gonna open his hole like this. Excuse my French, girls. - I'm gonna make him suffer. - What's wrong with this guy? I'm gonna make his mother wish she never had him. - Is this something personal? - Make him into dog meat. What? - Did he say something in the papers? - No, he's a nice kid. He's a pretty kid too. I got a problem, whether I should fuck him or fight him. Must be crazy. Fuck him or fight him. You're really liable to get fucked with this kid. Watch out. - By who? - Janiro. You mean you want me to get him to fuck you? - Me? - Yeah. - No, I don't want him to fuck me. - I could do that easily. How you gonna do that? I'll get youse both in the ring, give youse both a fuckin' beating, you both can fuck each other. - I'll get all full of blood. - You're used to that. Come on, drink up. That's ginger ale, Jake. - Come on. Salute. - Salute. - Jake, good luck. - Salute. Good luck, Jake. Hey, Vick. Vickie. - What? - You awake? No. - Can you hear me? - What? You ever think of anybody else... when we're in bed? - What do you mean? - You know, when we make love. No, nobody. I love you. How come you said that thing about Janiro? - What did I say? - You said he had a pretty face. I never noticed his face. How come you said that then? I don't even know what I said. I don't even know what he looks like. Go to sleep. Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! - He ain't pretty no more. - He really messed him up. And the winner by unanimous decision in ten rounds, Jake La Motta! Give me a little piece of ice. Just a sliver. Just for my tongue. - No water! - Come on. I'm dying. Fuckin' hard-on. Four pounds. Keep working. Cut the bullshit. I saw him fight with Janiro. I couldn't believe it. Destroyed this guy. It was absolutely incredible. He knocked his nose from one side of his face to the other. - You've gotta be kidding. - Fuckin' thing was hanging off. Joey, who you fighting next? Will you tell me? I don't know. You never know these things... From all I've seen, they gotta give him that title shot. Right. Jackie Curtie. Joey. - You should know each other. - Hi, Joey. Pleasure. Heard a lot of nice things about you. We're gonna get the title shot too. I'm sure. I like your other. Made a lot of money on him. Yeah? Probably more than he did, that's for sure. Made some nice cabbage on the Oscar Jackson fight. What ever happened to Oscar? Anybody see him anymore? He's punchy. He probably died. Who the fuck cares? - Make yourselves comfortable. - It's a beautiful table. - The worst table in the house. - And he's complaining. It's a beautiful table. He's working downtown. Big building. Working an elevator. Happened to be there the other day. I'm not Italian. I don't care. - Took me right up. - That Oscar's always a stand-up guy, Joey. He did you a lot of good. Gave your other a hell of a fight too. Yeah, Mickey. Cutty Sark and water, huh? Excuse me one minute, fellas. I'll be right back. You gonna come back, Joey? Come on back. Okay. - Hey. - Hey. - Hey, Joe. - Hey, Joey. Look at how he's looking at us. Something's up. - She's having a problem. - You're worried about it? I'm just sitting there having a drink! Shut up. Just shut up. I feel like I'm a prisoner. I can't walk, I look at somebody the wrong way, I get smacked. You think you're right, with your fuckin' yelling? - I am right. - You're wrong. I am right. I'm tired of having to turn around and having both of youse up my ass all the time. - Shut up. - No. Don't make me... I'm tired of listening to you and your other. I'm not wrong. - Don't make me get nuts in this place. - What am I supposed to do? I'm 20 years old, I gotta go home and sleep by myself every night? - What the fuck did you marry him for? - Cause I love him. - You do? - Yeah, I love him. What am I supposed to do? This guy don't even wanna fuck me. He's just been a contender too long. He'll be all right as soon as he gets his shot, and then everything'll be okay. He won't have to go running around the way he does. Jake is never gonna be champ. Too many people hate him. - And you're drinking with them! - And I'm gonna finish my drink. - And I'm gonna have a good time. - Get your stuff. - I said you ain't staying. Get your stuff. - I'm staying. You're making an asshole out of my other. Get your stuff. - Joey, come on, relax. - Shut up. Mind your fuckin' business and shut up. - You're taking this all wrong. - I said shut up, didn't I? What's the matter with you? There's nothing going on here. This is innocent. We're only having a few drinks. - Relax. No problem. - Come on. You know better than that. - All right. Let's all calm down. - Just relax. Come on. - We've been friends a long time. - I'm just upset. - It's my other's wife. - There's nothing going on over here. I'm sorry. I really am. We're friends. We can straighten this... Right? Nothing going on? Nothing going on? You dirty cocksucker! Fuckin' hard-on! Get off! Get him off! I'll bite your fuckin' head off, you cocksucker! Get outta here, Joey! What the fuck are you doing? - Easy, easy! Come on! - Get your hands off me! - Come on! - Come on! Fuckin' cunt. Get outta the way! Yo, scumbag! I'm gonna suck your fuckin' eyes out! - Hey, you fucking... - What are you, nuts? Hey! What's got into youse here? Don't mention Tommy. You do what you do, and we do what we gotta do. - Don't mention no names. - No, you're wrong, Joe. He's wrong. No fuckin' trouble in the joint. I said get outta here, you fuckin mammone! Get back there, you fuck, you! Take it easy, people. You rat bastard! You guys have a lot of years between you, and you've done a lot of things together. I understand, Joey, it was your other's wife. But you don't raise your hand. You don't create a scene like that in a place like that. Now, we've heard everybody's point of view here, and we're gonna forget about it. I shouldn't forget about it, but we're gonna forget about it. Right? What I want you to do now, you two guys, I want you to shake hands, forget this whole thing. And no grudges. That's the most important thing. No grudges. Now, come on, shake hands. It's all right with me if it's all right with you. All right? I only wish this thing never happened, Tommy. We all wish it never happened. Right? You'll get over it. Salvy, let me talk with him alone a minute. Yeah, all right. All right. I'll see you Monday, Tuesday or something, all right? I'm sorry. I forgot all about it. What are you, fuckin' nuts? You're killing me. Aside from everything else, Joey, is the family all right? Yeah, they're fine. Everybody's fine. What is it with you? You can't talk? I'm talking. What do you mean? You got this funny attitude, Joey. I can't figure you out. What is it with all the quick answers? Yeah, they're all right. Yeah. You wanna get outta here fast or something? What? No, it's nothing like that, Tommy. It's just all the aggravation and everything and... all the fights and all. Listen to me. Now, Jake... the guy's become an embarrassment. He's embarrassing me with certain people, and I'm looking very bad. I can't deliver a kid from my own goddamn neighborhood. What is it with him? Why does he have to make it so hard on himself? For Christ's sakes, he comes to me, I make it easier for him. The man's got a head of rock. You know, it's hard to explain, Tommy. He's... Jack respects you. I mean, he don't even say hello to anybody. You he talks to. He likes you. It's just that when he gets something on his mind, he's got a hard head, he likes to do things his own way. Jesus Christ could come off the cross some time... He don't give a fuck. He's gonna do what he wants to do. He wants to make it on his own. Thinks he can make it on his own. Make it on his own. He thinks he's gonna walk in there and become champion on his own? - He's crazy. You know he's nuts. - Yeah, he's crazy. And he's got no respect for nobody. He doesn't listen to nobody. That's not crazy. - He respects you though. - He doesn't respect anybody. Now, you do this for me. You understand? You tell him I don't care how colorful he is, how great he is. He could beat all the Sugar Ray Robinsons and the Tony Janiros in the world. But he ain't gonna get a shot at that title, not without us, he ain't. Now, you're a smart kid. You go to him, you tell him... Son of a bitch. Twenty-dollar shoes here. Aren't you gonna ask me what happened? What's the matter? What's wrong? I remember when I met her here. - Who? - Vickie. Why? What's the matter? What'd she do now? I know she's doing something. I just wanna catch her once. Just once. Hey, Jack. Wanna do yourself a favor? Bust her fuckin' hole. Throw her out. Either that, or live with her and let her ruin your life. 'Cause that's what's happening. How much could you take? How much shit could you take? So, what'd that guy say? He gave me the old good news, bad news routine. The good news is you're gonna get the shot at the title. And the bad news is they want you to do the old flip-flop for them. So, what else is new? What'd you expect? You didn't know that was coming? Ah, you win some, you lose some. This one, we're losin'. Billy Fox. 173 and three-quarter pounds. Jake La Motta. 167... I guess you've heard by now a lot of the stuff that's going around, a lot of rumors. Matter of fact, a short time ago, you were a big favorite, and all of a sudden, you're a 12-5 underdog. And people are talking. It's as simple as that. That's funny. I never heard anything. It's out there though, and it's not good. As a matter of fact, the bets are off on this one. Nothing going in this one. Matter of fact, smart money is saying that you're getting ready to hit the tank. - That's bullshit. - Yeah, that's bullshit. - You got any money you wanna bet? - Come on. No, I'll take the action. Go ahead. You bet it on Fox, 'cause I'm gonna win. There's no way I'm going down. I don't go down for nobody. - That's what I wanted to hear. - I want you to know that. - All right. - All right, Colonel. Okay, that's it. You came down here just for that nonsense? - That was it? - That was it. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Madison Square Garden feature attraction. - In this corner, weighing 175 pounds... - Commissioner, how about a picture? Fellas, can we get a picture over here? The undefeated Billy Fox. Hi, Steve. Your other got out of the hospital? - They think it's all right. - Did he get out? Good, good, good. - Charlie, let me sit over there. - Yeah, sure. Tommy, what's the matter? Everything's all right? It's all right, yeah. Touch gloves now, come out boxing. Five seconds, Alex. Come on, stand... Come on, stand up! What the fuck you doing? Hit me, you fuckin' bum. Come on. Come on. What are you doing, Jake? Come on! Box him! What the fuck's the matter with you? What do you think you're doing out there? Little slow, that's all. - What are you doing out there? - Take it easy. He'll be all right. He's a little slow. He'll make it up. What are you worried about? Goddamn it. Come on. Pick it up a little, Jake. I'm sorry. Come on, Jake, I got some money on you! Tank job! Hit him back, you bum! Come on. Hit him back! You fuckin' bum! You're taking a dive in the fourth? Pocket your dirty money! Aw, you phony bastard! That's a fix! We're stopping the fight! What the fuck are you waiting for to stop the fight, you jerk? And you standing there. Fuckin' go down, will you? The referee stops this bout at two minutes, 23 seconds of the fourth round. The winner by technical knockout, and still undefeated, Billy Fox! What'd I do? Don't fight anymore. It's a free country. Don't fight anymore. Ah, what'd I do? What'd I do? What'd I do? What'd I do? - Get outta here! - Jake has an interview... It's all right, Jake. It's all right. Why did I do it? Why? They got some balls. Some balls. I take the dive. What more do they want, huh? They want me to go down too? I ain't going down. I ain't going down for nobody. Why don't you do me a favor? Just put your hands up. I wanna show you something. Put your hands up. - What the fuck is so hard about that? - Hey, Joey, you don't understand. You don't understand. I had to fight a bum. He's a bum. I fought the guy, I tapped him like that, all of a sudden, he's like this all over. What am I gonna do? You don't have to fuckin' pick him up and help him. What am I gonna do? If I don't, I'm gonna be in worse trouble. I don't know. Purse was withheld... Look at this. Purse was withheld pending DA's probe. Look at that. Look how they make me look, huh? Like a bum, like a mameluke. A what? Like the mameluke of the year. Tommy ain't gonna forget us. You're gonna get your shot, as long as he don't die. - As long as who don't die? - Tommy. What are you talking about? In other words, Tommy ain't gonna forget you. You're gonna get your shot if he don't die. Gotta make sure the guy stays alive. - He got a disease or something? - No, I'm just sayin', kiddin' like. - Is something wrong with him? - Ain't nothing wrong with him. That's the only way you wouldn't get it is if he dlies, he wouldn't be able to... What are you talking like that for? What do you want me to do? It's an outdoor arena. What do you wanna do, fight in the rain? It's a stadium. You waited this long, you can wait longer. Joey, you wanna wait 24 hours? I don't wanna wait no 24 hours. I don't either, but we gotta. So we'll wait. Hello? - You guys wanna stop now? - Get off the phone with them. Why do you give them the satisfaction? - Get off the phone with them! - He don't wanna talk to nobody. How many times do we have to tell you? Hear him yellin'? There's enough confusion up here. Please, don't call. No comment. Right. Thank you. Bye! Pains in the asses. I don't believe them. Why do you give them the satisfaction? Just hang up on 'em. That's all. I'm gonna get something to eat. What do you want to eat? I don't want nothin'. - I don't want nothin'. - Eat somethin'. You gotta eat somethin'. You can't go without eating. Eat a steak. You chew it, you spit it out, you'll still make the weight tomorrow. You worried about that? I'll order a steak. At least if you want it, it's here. You don't want it, do whatever you want with it. - Go ahead. - Vickie, what do you want? Order me a piece of cake. That's all you want is a piece of cake? Why don't you get a cheeseburger, french fries? It's better for you. - It's like a whole meal. - Yeah, that's good. - Lettuce and tomato? - That's good. Order me one of those. Wait a minute. What do you want to eat? Since when did you order one of those? - That's what I want. - It's a free country. You order what you want. Don't let nobody influence you. I'm not telling her what to eat. I was just suggesting. What are you telling her what to... I'm not telling her... Personally, I don't give a fuck what she eats. What were you telling her... Order me a cheeseburger. Just order her a cheeseburger, that's all. What the f... What are you guys doing so long? How long does this thing take to do? Forty seconds. Forty seconds is no good. You gotta do it in 30 seconds. If we gotta stitch him up, that's how much time. Jack. You up? - What? - Somebody's here to see you. - Hey, Jack. - Hey, Tommy. How you doing? How are you? Hey. Say hello to Charlie. Charlie! - Jake, how are you? Lots of luck. - Hello, Charlie. Good to see you. Thank you. - How you feeling? - I'm feeling all right, Tommy, thank you. - Are you feeling good? - I feel as good as I'm gonna feel. I gotta get in there and fight. Then I'll know how I'm gonna feel. All right. We just come by to wish you luck and all that. - Thanks. - You need anything? - No. - You sure? Nothing? - No, thank you, Tommy. - All right. Take care. Good luck. - God bless you. - All right. Thank you. - You'll be all right. - Yeah, I'll be all right. See you later, everybody. - Vickie, goodbye. - Tommy, wait. We really appreciate your coming. It was really nice of you. I appreciate it. Come on, Joey, anytime. A time like this is very important to him. - Anytime. - I just wanted to say goodbye. So long, honey. I want you to take good care of that guy, all right? I'll take care of him. Joey, any little thing, call me. He's very nervous. Ba-boom. Call me. Goodbye, honey. Would you look at that face? What a face. Can you believe that girl? Look at that beauty. Just as beautiful as ever. - Hey, the least little thing, all right? - Bye-bye, Tommy. - So long, everybody. - So long, Tommy. Vickie. Vickie. Hey! Come here. Come here a minute. What was all that about? All what? You know what I'm talking about. What was that all about? - With him. - Nothing. I just said goodbye. All of a sudden you're so friendly with him? - I just said goodbye. - You don't do that. You say hello, you say goodbye. That's all - You hear? - I hear. Hey! You hear what I said? You don't ever have any disrespect for me. You hear what I said? You hear what I said? - Yeah, I hear. - All right. Go in there. - Come here. - Why don't you stop that, huh? - Shut up, you! Shut up! - Stop it. Shut up! I'll fuckin' take care of you later! Shut up! I'm disgusted with the two of youse. Get to youse later. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. Hit the fuckin' thing. Come on! I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. All right, let's go. Good luck, Jake! For the middleweight championship of the world, 15 rounds. In this corner, the very worthy challenger, weighing in at 158 and a quarter pounds, the Bronx Bull, Jake La Motta! Shake hands, come out fighting at the bell. Kill him! Yeah! Move around! Move around! Pressure, pressure, pressure! Now finish him off. Come on, Jake! Blow on him, he'll fuckin' fall right over for you. Jack, look at him. You feel all right? - No way, huh? - Can he continue? Hey, Commissioner, come on in. I'm gonna stop the fight. Yeah, you did it, Jake! Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please? Cerdan unable to continue. The referee stops the fight. And the winner by a technical knockout in the tenth round, and the new middleweight champion of the world, the Bronx Bull, Jake La Motta! Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! Jake! Don't shake that. Jack, don't shake it like that, I'm telling you. It's the worst thing you could do. Oh, you're home. - Hi, Vick. - Hi, Joe. - Hello. - Hi. Where were you? I went out. What's the matter? Television won't work. Where'd you go? Went out, went shopping. Went to my sister's. You know. You want I should go away? I'll be close by. What's the matter with you? What's with this kissing on the mouth? I just said hello. Can't I kiss my sister-in-law? - Isn't the cheek good enough for you? - Come on, huh? I don't even kiss Mom on the mouth. All of a sudden, you're like a Romeo. You're not supposed to kiss your mother on the mouth. That's what I'm talking about. - How's that? - That looks like something. Get back. I can't see nothing with your stomach in the way now. What are you giving me dirty looks for? Supposed to be a champion. You eat like there's no tomorrow. That's it. Forget how long it took you to get to the title... all the years, the hard work, you forgot. You're gonna defend it next month. Keep eating. Giving me dirty looks like I don't know what I'm talking about? Hey, Joe, what happened with you and Salvy at the Copa that time? - When? - When you gave him a beatin'. You mean when I caught his head in a taxicab door and was bangin' it, smacked him with a glass and everything? - Yeah. - I told you about that. - Didn't I? - No. - I never told you? - No, you never told me. It was no big thing anyway. I smacked him in the mouth. He was drunk. He started some shit. Had to go downtown, straighten it all out with Tommy. It's all forgotten about, supposedly anyway. - How come you never told me about it? - It didn't have anything to do with you. - Had nothing to do with me? - No. Who'd it have something to do with? Vickie? Hey, Jack, I just explained the whole thing to you, didn't I? - Yeah. - It was between me and Salvy. If it had anything to do with you and Vickie, I would've told you about it. That's not what I heard, Joe. What do you mean, that's not what you heard? - That's not what I heard. - What'd you hear? I heard some things. - You heard about me and Salvy then... - I heard things, Joey. Yeah, you heard that I cracked Salvy all around. - I heard things. - What things you heard? I heard some things. You heard things. You wanna worry? Don't start that worrying shit. You know what you should worry about? Worry you got this title fight next month. That's what you should worry about. Do that. Christ. - Did Salvy fuck Vickie? - What? Did Salvy fuck Vickie? - Hey, Jack, don't start your shit. - Joey... - No, really, don't start. - Joey, I asked you. - Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on her? - And I did keep an eye on her. Then how come you gave him a beatin'? I told you what that was all about. Didn't have nothing to do with you. - He thinks he's a wiseguy now... - Joey, don't lie to me. - I'm not lying. - What do I look like to you? Hey, I'm your other. You're supposed to believe me. Don't you trust me? - No, I don't. - You don't? That's nice. I don't trust you when it comes to her. I don't trust nobody. - Tell me what happened. - I told you exactly what happened. He got out of line, I slapped him around, Tommy straightened it all out, and it's all over. You're givin' me that look, Joey. I gotta accept your answer, you know. But I'm telling you now, if I hear anything, I swear on our mother, I'm gonna kill somebody. - I'm gonna kill somebody, Joey. - Well, go ahead and kill everybody! You're the tough guy. Go kill people. Kill Vickie, kill Salvy, kill Tommy Como. Kill me while you're at it. What do I care? You're killing yourself, the way you eat. - You fat fuck. Look at you. - What do you mean? I don't understand. What do you mean, kill you? Me. Kill me. Start here. Kill me first. Do me a fuckin' favor. 'Cause you're driving me crazy! You're a killer. You're a big shot. Just kill. You're a killer. Excuse me. What do you mean by you though? So? What does that mean? Don't mean nothing. Even you don't know what you meant by you. - Don't mean nothing. - Joey, that meant something. You mentioned Tommy, Salvy, you mentioned you. You included you with them. You could've said anybody, but you said you and them. You really let this girl ruin your life. Look at you. She really did some job on you. You know how fuckin' nuts you are? - Look what she did to you! - You fuck my wife? - What? - You fuck my wife? How could you ask me a question like that? How could you ask me? I'm your other. You ask me that? Where do you get your balls big enough to ask me that? Just tell me. I'm not answering ya. I'm not gonna answer that. It's stupid. You're very smart, Joey. You're giving me all these answers, but you ain't giving me the right answer. I'm gonna ask you again. Did you or did you not? I'm not gonna answer. That's a sick question, you're a sick fuck, and I'm not that sick that I'm gonna answer it. I'm not telling you anything. I'm gonna leave. If Lenore calls, tell her I went home. I'm not staying in this nuthouse with you. You're a sick bastard. I feel sorry for you, I really do. You know what you should do? Try a little more fuckin' and a little less eating. You won't have troubles upstairs in your bedroom, and you won't pick it out on me and everybody else. You understand, you fuckin' wacko? You're cracking up. Fuckin' screwball, ya. Where were you? I was at my sister's. Where'd you go after that? - To the movies. - Yeah? What'd you see? Father of the Bride. How come you didn't tell me about the Copa? - Tell you what about it? - You know. How come you didn't tell me about it? Why didn't you tell me about it? I don't know what you're talking about. Why didn't you tell me? Did you fuck my other? - Get off me, you fat pig! - Did you? Did you? No! Open the door. - Get away! - Come on, open the door. - I wanna talk to you. - Get away from me. You're sick. I just wanna ask you one thing. Why'd you fuck Joey? - Get away! - Open the door. No. Why'd you do it? Why'd you do it, huh? - I didn't do anyth... - Why'd you do it? Why'd you do it? Why'd you do it? - Why did you fuck them? - Do what? I didn't do anything! I fucked all of 'em! What do you want me to say? What do you mean? Who'd you fuck? I fucked all of 'em. Tommy, Salvy, your other, all of 'em! I sucked your other's cock! What do you want me to say? - You sucked his cock? - Yeah, I sucked his cock. And everybody else on the fucking street. What do you want? You're nothing but a fat pig, selfish fool! - Get... - I'm gonna fuckin'... Fuck you. His fucking cock's bigger than yours too! Where you going? Where are you going, you bastard? You sick animal! Where you going? Let me go! Get off of me, you piece of shit! If I see you put your hands in that plate one more time, I'm gonna stab you with this knife. You hear me? I told you, keep your hands outta the plate! Why can't we eat in peace around here? Just relax. I have to eat like you? Like a gavone... Hey! Jack! Jack! What's the matter with you? You fucked my wife, huh? You fucked my wife? Jake, get off of him! - I'll kill you! I'll kill you! - Stop it! He didn't do it! Call the police! I'll fuckin' kill you! Get out! Vickie. Vick. Don't leave, honey, please. Honey, look, I'm a bum without you and the kids. Don't go. Just... Less than a minute to go, and La Motta is losing the title that he won from the gallant Marcel Cerdan. After the tragic plane crash that took Cerdan's life, Laurent Dauthuille vowed to ing the title back to France. And tonight, he only has to last this 15th round to be crowned the new middleweight champion. La Motta is taking terrible punishment on the ropes as Dauthuille bangs him with lefts and rights to the head, another left, another right to the jaw. La Motta turns around! He's been playing possum! He's got Dauthuille hurt! He rips a right hand to the body! Two left hooks to the jaw, another left and a right to the head! Dauthuille is reeling around the ring! The tide has turned, no question about it! And he wobbles into the ropes and goes down! Dauthuille is down, and the referee Lou Handler comes over and starts the count. He's trying to get up. Six, seven. He'll never make it. Nine, ten! You're out! It is all over! He is knocked out, and Jake La Motta, with 13 seconds left to go in the final round, has made one of the most remarkable comebacks in all of boxing history. Jake La Motta! Come on. Just tell him you're sorry, you miss him. He's your other. You have to talk to him sooner or later. I'll dial him for you. Then you talk to him. Just tell him you're sorry. Then you can say whatever you want. Go ahead. Hey, champ, I'd like to ask you a few questions. - Not now. - I've been waiting an hour for you. - Excuse me, my wife is... - There's a great angle here. - Don't bother me, please. Get outta here. - Great story. Come on. All right, champ? - You're a great guy. - I asked you nice, will you... Hello. Hello? Salvy, this ain't funny anymore. Is that you? I know somebody's there. I can hear you eathing. You listening? Your mother sticks fucking big fuckin' elephant dicks. You got that? No one was home. The fight of the year. The next time that friendly bartender says, what do you have? Give him that answer the whole world gives, Pabst Blue Ribbon. Those punches by La Motta explain themselves. They fought five times between 1942 and 1945. It has so far been a blazing bout for the middleweight championship. In that great action by La Motta, he couldn't score the big one. That's it. That was his last shot. Round number 13, the hard-luck number. There's the buzzer. And I think you know both the boys. Robinson hurting La Motta. He's hurting him now. He has La Motta on Queer Street, holding on. Well, certainly that was one of the most damaging evidences of punching that you have seen in recent years. Come on! Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. What are you standing there for? Come on! Robinson, apparently tired, punched with a fare thee well and rocked Jake La Motta - right to his heels. - Come on, Ray, come on! These are clean, whistling shots. How he can survive them, nobody knows. No man can endure this pummeling! The fight is stopped on... the signal to Frankie Sikora. Row after row after row from the ring, the crowd is standing and cheering, as he just cannonaded Jake La Motta into a death defeat. Hey, Ray. And when I say that, I mean Jake wouldn't want to quit. - He wanted to go. - Hey, Ray. Never went down, Ray. You never got me down, Ray. You hear me? Never got me down. Yeah? See? Look. And in the 13th round, the hard-luck round, the championship of the world has changed hands. And there you see it. A champion gone down to defeat. And so, now we wait for the announcement from Eddie Flint, the ring announcer. Then we'll get up in the ring, join with the radio audience throughout the world and have a ief interview with Ray Robinson. Now we're waiting for the time to be announced. And it is being handed between the commissioner and Eddie Flint. The fight was stopped on a signal from Joe Tryner... Attention, ladies and gentlemen! The winner by a technical knockout in two minutes and four seconds of the 13th round, and the new world's middleweight boxing champion, Sugar Ray Robinson! Why are you pulling out of Wednesday's fight, Jake? It's over for me. Boxing's over for me. I'm through. I'm tired of worrying about weight all the time. That's all I used to think about was weight, weight, weight. After a while, you realize there are other things in life. I'm very grateful. Boxing's been good to me. I got a nice house. I got three great kids. I got a wonderful, beautiful wife. What more could I ask for? - Hey, what's your name? - Bob. Take a picture, Bob. Let him take a picture of you, honey. For us. Go ahead, smile. Thank you, Bob. Hey, Bob, take a picture of all of us. Jackie, come here, sit over here. All right, everybody, smile. Smile. Vickie, how do... Mrs. La Motta, how do you feel about Jake's retirement? I think it's great. He picked the right time to stop fighting. He's home with us all the time now. - It's really good. - You know what? You through? - Excuse me. You through? - Yeah. You know, I just bought a club on Collins Avenue. It's a bar, package store, everything. Guess what I'm gonna call it? - I don't know. What are you gonna call it? - Take a guess. All right, shut up. Enough, enough. Thank you. Just wanted to see what the microphone on a sexy girl sounds like. Yeah, that sounds... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I haven't seen so many losers since my last fight at Madison Square Garden. Okay, honey. Thank you, doll. Isn't that something? Bring us another drink. - Salute. - Salute. Look at this terrific girl. She's the kind of girl you wanna ing home to your father. Especially if he's a degenerate. Did I say that? Nah, seriously, folks, it's a thrill to be standing here before all you wonderful people tonight. In fact, it's a thrill to be standing. If you believe it's a thrill to be standing before you wonderful people, then you're all full of shit. By the way, me and my wife Vickie's getting married. What am I talking about? I'm out of it. Is she here? Is she here? She's not here. Vickie? Nah, she's not here. Hey, by the way, me and my wife Vickie's gonna cele ate... it's a little different, our 11th wedding anniversary. Thank you, thank you. That reminds me about two friends of mine. One was married, one was single. The married guy tells the single guy, oh, what's the matter with you? What's the matter with you? Look at me, and look at you. And look at me, and look at you. Let me get on with it. When I come home at night, my wife's at the door with a tall drink in her hand. Then she gives me a nice hot bath. Then she gives me a nice rubdown. Then she makes passionate love to me, and then she makes me a nice dinner. What more could you ask for? You ought to try that. The other friend says, hey, that sounds great. What time does your wife get home? I know I'm no Olivier, but if he fought Sugar Ray, he would say that the thing ain't the ring, it's the play. So give me a stage where this bull here can rage, and though I can fight, I'd much rather hear myself recite. That's entertainment! Jake, how have you been? Oh, Jake. Hey! You were just great. It's a good thing Sugar Ray wasn't here tonight, huh? - He told that joke last week. - Come on! He repeats himself. Getting a little senile. Jake, I'd like you to meet State's Attorney Bronson. - How are you? Nice to meet you. - And his wife. - Nice to meet you. - You shouldn't be here this week. It's next week we got the shakedown payments, right? He's got a sense of humor. That's a good sign. That is a joke, right? Only you know if it's a joke. - He's just kidding, right? - All right, we'll talk about it later. - This is your wife? - Yes. Mrs. Bronson. - Very pretty lady. Charmed to meet you. - Thank you. He's really a nice guy. You can take a joke, can't you, doll? - I'm sorry. - It's all right. Hey, Carlo? Carlo! Carlo, give 'em another drink. Something happened over here. Darling... Linda, come here. - Where's your wife? - My wife? - Yeah, why isn't she here? - What's it to you? You think I'm gonna ing her around here, let you bums get involved with her? Especially with the state's attorney over here? He comes here a lot, darling. Watch him. He knows I'm only kidding. - Thank you. - Keep an eye on him. - What's the problem? - There's really not a problem. She doesn't look 21, so I just had to ask for some ID. - How old are you, honey? - Twenty-one. Twenty-one? Can you prove that you're 21? Prove it to me. Any girl that can kiss like that can drink at my joint anytime. What about you? How old are you? - Twenty-one. - Can you prove that you're 21? - Yes. - Would you prove it to me? Come here. She's 21 too? She has convinced me that she's 21 too. Hey, Jake. - Watch it while I'm pouring. - Your wife's outside. - She's waiting for you. - Why don't you tell me a little louder? There. Come on, Jake. It was a busy night last night. - Everything all right? - I'm leaving you, Jake. - What else is new? - No. I mean it this time. I didn't wanna tell you till I had everything worked out. - Move over. - Why? So you can put your hands on me? - Open the door. - No. Come on, honey, open the door. No. Jake, I got a lawyer, we're getting a divorce, and I'm getting custody of the kids. - Let me in for a minute. - No, I already made up my mind. I'm leaving. That's it. Kids are gonna be with me. And if you show your face around, I'm gonna call the cops on you. - All right? That's it. - Don't act that way, honey. Hey, Jake. Jake. Hey, Jake. Come on, champ. Come on, wake up. Wake up, champ. What's up? - We're from the DA. - Yeah, I know where you're from. - They wanna talk with you. - Youse all look the same to me. - What's the difference? - They wanna talk with you, Jake. - About what? - I don't know. I don't run the joint. - They just told me to ing you in. - But what do youse want? For what? Do you recognize this girl? She been in the club? - This is the same girl? - Yeah. Nah, I don't know her. She says you introduced her to some men. I introduced her to men. I introduce a lot of people to a lot of people. You tell me I introduced her to men. I introduced him to men. But I don't say nothing. She's 14. Come on, put on your shoes, Jake. - She's how old? - Fourteen. She's 14? Let me see that. Let me ask you something. You gonna tell me that that girl looks 14? - She's 14. - I'm gonna ask you man to man. What am I gonna say? Come on. We gotta go. - We gotta go downtown? - That's right. For what? Because of this girl? Vick. - You drunk? - Open the door. I'm out on bail. I just gotta pick up one thing and I'll leave, I promise. - Kids are sleeping. - I won't bother them. Let me just get something. All right. Don't make no noise. - What? - Don't make no noise. I won't. I just gotta get this one thing. - What are you doing? - I gotta get $10,000. My lawyer says if I can spread 10,000 around, I can get the case dropped. - They don't have a case against you. - Oh, no? You kidding me, or what? You ever see a 14-year-old testify in court? You saw the papers. La Motta out on vice rap. - What are you doing to the belt? - What difference does it make? Can't you get the money from your friends? Yeah, what friends? Jake, you're gonna wake my kids up! You're gonna wake the kids! Stop it! Don't you put the dishes so they don't fall down? Oh, get out! What about the belt, Mr. La Motta? Isn't that what you wanted to sell me, the championship belt? - These are the jewels from the belt. - Yeah, but where's the belt? The belt of a champion is a very rare item. Wha... I wish you'd come to me in the first place, Mr. La Motta. If you'd had the belt and jewels together... Give me 2,000 for them. - Give me 2,000. - 1,500 top. That's all... - You can't give me 2,000? - 1,500 top, Mr. La Motta. - I'm sorry. I'd lose. - Give me them. Don't tell me you're not gonna make a profit. I know you're lying. Go around the corner, I bet I get twice what you're offering. I can't raise the 10,000. I tried. I tried. I tried a lot of places. Yeah, but what am I gonna do? If that's what they're gonna do, they're gonna do it. What can I do? Yeah, but fuck 'em. Let 'em do what they're gonna do. Get in the goddamn cell now! Come on! - That's right. Can't hurt folks no more. - This is where it's at right here. Who was the one goddamn trying to shirk, huh? - You'll pull your load here, boy. - That's right. - I don't want no more! - Get in the goddamn box, champion! Fuck you! I'll eak you on one of my fucking farms, you son of a bitch! Do you hear me? - Hold on to him just a minute! - I got it See it? See it? Look at it, son! Live in it!

Why? You're so stupid. You're so stupid. You're so fuckin' stupid! You're so stupid. They called me an animal. I'm not an animal. I'm not an animal. Why do they wanna treat me like this? I'm not that bad. I'm not that bad. I'm not that bad. I'm not that guy. I'm not that guy. I'm not that guy. Guy comes home, finds his wife in bed with another guy. The wife says... Look who's here. Big mouth. Now the whole neighborhood will know. Thanks. Thanks for laughing. Spread it around a little bit. The first night I was here, I said to the owner of the joint, I said, listen, where's the toilet? He said, you're in it. Come on, let's go, let's go. Why don't you leave me alone? I'm trying to do my routine. Up yours. Uh, pal, you're gonna force me to make a comeback. - Funny. - Fuck you. And the horse you rode in on. And the whole cavalry behind you. Funny man. That's why I'm here. Give him another drink. Piss in it for me. I'm now gonna introduce a woman who's made a worldwide tour with top billing and all that other bullshit where they all hated her. And I want you all to give her a warm welcome. I know you're all capable of it. You look like a bunch of junkies. Her name is Emma 48's. Go get 'em, baby! Go get 'em! Taxi! Taxi! Honey. Listen, I'm gonna take a little walk. I got a couple of things I gotta take care of. All right? - Will I see you later? - Yeah. Here. - Take that. I'll be home later. - Thank you. Be careful. Joe. Hey, what are you doing? Joey. Come on, Joey. Why don't you turn around? Come on, Joey, turn around. Hey, Joey, come on. Joey. Joe. Come on. Come on, Joey. What are you doing? Come on.

Give me a kiss. Come on. Wait, let me call my wife and kids. Don't you want them to see the kiss? Are you gonna forgive and forget? It's a long time ago. Forget about it. Just give me a kiss. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. You're my other. Come on. Come on. Give me a kiss. - What? - Come on. - How's everything? All right? - Good. - Everything's all right? - Yeah. - Yeah? Family? - All right. Come on. You don't wanna do this here. Come on. Let me call you. We'll get together in a couple days. - You'll call me? - I will. You won't forget? - I'll call you. - All right. Won it legitimately... and nobody could take that away from me, nobody. Some people aren't that lucky. Like the one that Marlon Brando played in On the Waterfront, an up-and-comer who's now a down-and-outer. You remember that scene in the back of the car with his other Charley, a small-time racket guy? And it went something like this. It wasn't him, Charley. It was you. You remember that night at the Garden, you came down to my dressing room and you said, kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson? Remember that? This ain't your night. My night. I could've taken Wilson apart that night. So, what happens? He gets a title shot outdoors in the ballpark, and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville. I was never no good after that night, Charley. It was like a peak you reach, and then it's downhill. It was you, Charley. You was my other. You shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda looked out for me just a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit, instead of making me take them dives for the short-end money. You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am. Let's face it. It was you, Charley. It was you, Charley. How you doing, Jake? - Everything all right? - Yeah. - Ready? - You got about five minutes. Okay. - You need anything? - No. You sure? I'm sure. - A lot of people out there? - Yeah, it's crowded. Go get 'em, champ. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss.
Cheer up. I'm not sad. - Champagne? - No. Come on. Relax, have a drink. I'm fine. I'm relaxed, in a good mood. It's just my face. That's it. Are you okay? Yes. Really? Let's dance? Come on! Go ahead. I'll be right there. Oh, shit. It's the school. No need to scream. No, it's not the school. It's my sister. Don't worry. Go back to sleep. What's going on? What? Where are you? In a night club. When's my next check up? I need to come sooner. Could you see me in between two patients? Damn it, Lucie! It's 1 AM! What are you doing to me? I'm not well. Yes, well... I'm nauseous. Thanks. Tomorrow. What's wrong? She's in stress. Poor thing. Move over, babe. You're taking all the space. Come on. I thought she was cured? She is. So why is she stressed then? I don't know. Excuse me. What are you doing? You're leaving? Yes, I'm officially tired. I'm 40 years old. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't have to time to waste with this crap. Come on. Stop it, Lucie. Sit down. Look. Just choose one. Him. The guy that's coming. He's hot. He look likes a car dealer. Come on. Give it a try. So, can I join you? Sophie's calling me. What are you cele ating? We both know you're here for my sister, now that she's gone, you're stuck with me. You're buying time, if you leave now, you'll look like asshole. But it's okay, you can go, you don't have to make conversation. I didn't think of it that way, but now, yes, I can't go, I'll look like an asshole. I was about to leave. If you leave, you'll look like a bitch. - Are you coming? - I'll be right there. Don't bother, I'm really not your kind. Girls would kill to be in your place. Why are you bothering me then? What's wrong? You don't like me? That's not what you think. You're asking yourself, how a girl like me can afford to say no to a guy like you. No, not at all. Clovis, come on. - We're waiting. - I'm coming. Come on. They're waiting. - What's your name? - Unbelievable. Unbelievable. That's not a name. You're unbearable. - Can I buy you a drink? - No, thank you. Can I buy you an ordinary life with a suburban home? No. - Can I buy you coffee? - No. - Can I buy you tea? - No. - Can I buy you a joint? - No. - Eat you out? - No. No! Can I offer you a dance? Come on. No. - Let's dance. - No, I was leaving. I dance like Patrick Swayze. No, I'm fine. Leave me alone. I don't want you, anyone, or this. I just want to be left alone. This is horrible. What's horrible? Your sliced east. Aren't you disgusted seeing naked women all day long? You kidding? Best job in the world! They pay me to look. You look while you... Listen. I thought so. - I knew it. - What? You have nothing. Your easts are fine. Okay? How are you feeling? Awful. Alone, you know. I mean I feel a little lost. When I was sick, I had a plan. I had meetings, people to see. People were nice. They would take care of me. When you're not used to it, even eakfast at 7 is nice. The hospital is actually like a Club Med. It hurts here. I'm tired. Everyone's gotten back to their lives and I'm a little lost. I'm too tired to run the store all day long. I feel alone. You need to think about the future now. What future? Start a new life. Which means? Doing Yoga. Like seeing friends. They're the past. I've changed too much. I have no more friends. Now, come on. You're fixed, that's important. I'll give you some aspirin. It'll ease the pain. And for your fatigue, the best is sports. It reduces recurrence. What do you mean recurrence? Don't think about that. Fall in love. It reduces your risks. I have to find a man now? Yes, love is... It's good for health. Like 5 fruits and vegetables a day. You idiot. - But I can't. - Yes, you can. Imagine I do find a man. He'll want to see me naked. Yeah, that's possible. I'm too destroyed for that. You know, honestly? It'll grow back. Yes? - Doctor? - Yes? Mrs. Marquez is here. I'll be right there. Mrs. Marquez, big patient. It's my main case. Come on. Hi, dear. I got you chocolate buns. What are you watching? TV. Grandma said you came for lunch. She said... What did Yvonne say? Bingo. You know... You're surfing the crimson tide. I have my period. We could cele ate? Do you want a gift? No. To mark the occasion. It's... You're a woman, now. Hortense, it's me, Mom. Are you okay? Need any help? To give the direction of the functions' variations, the coordinates of the parabole's summit, representing each value... Well. Change your wig. - What? - You look like Morticia Addams. Change your wig. Okay. Hello. What can I do for you, babe? Nothing. Thank you. Just looking. Blonde. What? No, not blonde. My mom won't like it. Is it for you or your mom? For me. My mom's opinion counts. What cancer? I don't have cancer. Breast. Oh no, I don't think so. It's a good time to try. Yes but still, this... What? Make the most of it. Make a change. I'm used to people saying to enjoy life, but not, I mean, not my cancer. No one knows how to enjoy life. If there was a method everyone would be happy, Right? Well. Come here. Come along. Let's go. Come in, don't be afraid. Have a seat. Sit there. I'll be right back. Wait here. Wait for me. Yes, hello? 6 PM. Wear a comfortable jogging suit. See you later. Don't move. First rule. A woman always puts make-up on. Right? There. Incredible. I don't recognize myself. One third of beauty is due to nature, seven tenths is due to? To? - I don't know. - Finery. Thank you. You're welcome. Your mom's going to be happy. Mrs. Fayolles ought rhododendrons this morning. You think it's vulgar in a cemetery. Rhododendrons are vulgar. No flowers on your husband's grave is vulgar. Hurry up. We still have Alley B to do, and I'm meeting Catherine at 10:30. We're making packages for the black kids. We watched a video with Rosenberg's father. They have so much joy for life. You should do volunteer work. It keeps your mind off things. It helps to see poverty. Don't sit on the tombs! I've said it a thousand times. Fine. We don't sit on death's head. Pass me the spade. You didn't even notice I changed. Pass me the spade. I changed my wig. Mom? Talking to me? No, nothing. I'm worried about Hortense. She's a teenager. Teens are impossible. She didn't invent the concept. You have to get used to it. How was I younger? Not easy. Always sick to get more attention. Not easy. Hello? When you say Leave me alone, is it to be taken literally or is it a nice way to ask me to have sex with you? Have you lost your mind? No, don't worry. I won't fall in love. For me, love is only to sell magazines, beauty creams and movie tickets. The truth is much less romantic. You're just calling to say that? We can talk over a drink? I don't know, Tuesday? Tuesday? Tuesday, Tuesday. I need to check. Because I've got lots to do. Tuesday? Oh, no, I can't. I've got something Tuesday night. Wednesday? Well Wednesday? Wednesday I have... Well, I've got a thing, nothing to do with the other thing, but it's a thing, so I can't on Wednesday. - Thursday? - Thursday? Well Thursday... Lucie! Yes? Yes, Thursday's fine. Thursday's good. Oh, shit. Who was it? Nothing. Come on. Hurry up. You're going to make me late. I have to be at the chaplaincy at 10. What's all this? You want to dance the French can-can? No, I just wanted to try. I'm upstairs. Dalila. Arch! Charlotte, arch! Come on. God gave you an ass for more than just sitting. Come on. There. And turn. Vivienne, if it's too hard, stop. There you go. Excuse me? Yes? Are you coming in or making a eeze? Enter. Come in. pointe, pointe. Now stop. Hello. Good job. It was good. Hey, Gila. Bye. Drink water. And now the new girls. Come on. Everyone up. I came to return the wig. Thank you. Let's go. Line up. Line up in front of the mirror. Leave space around you. I just came to return the wig. There. I don't know. Look at yourself in the mirror. Observe yourself. What do you see? Everyone face the mirror. Stand straight. The mirror is in front of you. In front of you. Observe yourselves. Look at the mirror. You're so beautiful. Look at you. Come on, girls. Watch yourself. Look at the mirror, you too. No one is saying anything. What do you see? I see a fat cow. - Good. What's your name? - Farida. Farida. Touch your thigh.

Ladies, I'm just like you. I hate wasting time. So if you think you're worth nothing, you're wasting my time and your own. Either you jump straight to I am beautiful, and then we can start talking, okay? So, let's say it together. It's a training. Say, I am beautiful. At my signal we'll say, I am beautiful. Now. I am beautiful. Let's say it again with more faith and belief. Go. I am beautiful. Good job. More conviction next time. Luckily, we can learn to be a woman. - There. - Thank you. Hi. Hello. Something came up. It won't take long. Yeah. It's okay. I'll go. I've got things to do. No, we'll have a drink after. Come on. Hop on. No really, another time. Come on. - Where are we going? - Ready? Ready. No. Talk about an emergency! I was busy. You could have gone to dinner like that. Unkempt? Certainly not. I don't want people to take me for an old lady. You're not old. You're even too young to buy porn. He's nice. He comes every Tuesday to do my hair. Staying for dinner? Marie-Louise wants to see you. I'm having dinner with Lucie. Next time, okay? What do you mean next time? Next time she might be dead. I'm so glad to see Clovis. I know. Hello. Hello. How are you? How are you? Enjoy your meal. - I'll sit here. - Here? Yes, it's fine. Thanks for helping. You're sweet. Thank you. Hello. How are you? Hello, old man. - Hello. - Still alive? Is this your fiancée? No, we're not together. I haven't kissed her yet. What are you waiting for? We'd planned on drinks in a romantic place, but it's potatoes and ham with old folks, so... She won't get over that. Pretend we're not here. Won't be easy, worst date in my life! Come on! We want to know how you do it. Salome says you're an expert. Yes. Take out your pens. Takes some notes. First of all: watch the signals. If she swings her shoes on her toes, and if her feet slide in and out, you have her full attention. And you can make a move. What? I can't concentrate for all your lip-smacking. That's why you never get a girl. They don't care about us. They don't care? You can still be old and be a charmer. Drop the napkin! And you there. Get your nose out of the potatoes, you'll drown! It's not because they're in a badly lit dining room that they can't dream. They're ladies. You're gentlemen. Look at them, waiting for the same thing. We're in a home. We're all waiting for the same thing. Look at them. Really look at them. Look at her. She's touching her wrist. Maybe a green light. Maybe an opening. And her, over there. Need a drawing? Women want emotions. Feelings. To be loved, respected. They have to feel exceptional. They want to be a man's last love. That's it. We don't ask for that much. We want the same as you. Someone who loves us despite who we are. You see? There, see what I'm working on? - Besides that. - I'm fine. Thank you. I'm going. The keys... My helmet. My helmet. What? My helmet. Oh, that. Yes, it's nice. I'll keep it, if you don't mind. I need one actually. I don't have one. And I thought, seeing all the noise around here this should keep it down. Thanks for tonight. Send your address. I'll ing it back. Thank you. It was open. You're so slow, my dear. Look at your sister, she's six plants ahead of you. I'm sorry. I'm tired. Really. You don't look tired. You just woke up. You still have the pillow mark. Get yourself together. I planned a meeting with Jean. Who's Jean? The organ player. The gap-toothed guy? At your age, don't be so picky! Be happy he accepted. Jean never! I'm telling you. No way. Do it for Hortense. Adolescence is difficult for a teen. I'm struggling with Pauline. Glad, Stephan's here. You want some? No. Stop looking at yourself, you'll wear out the mirror. Look at your sister. She doesn't do that. I'm observing myself. Everywhere. All the time. I can't help it. I get in the car, and before turning the key, I look in the mirror, to observe. At red lights too. I do it on my computer screen, in elevators, window shopping, in knifes, spoons, in others' fucking sunglasses. I watch myself. It doesn't look like me. It's not me. My reflection doesn't match, so I check. Pretty people don't look at themselves, people who hate themselves do. At the hospital, I was ugly inside and out. oken means loved. It mustn't have been easy for your doctors. It's hard to be cured from being sick. Good, girls. Rest. Relax. Challenge those bodies. After vacation, we'll start serious stuff. You'll learn the art of striptease. Striptease? Like Dita Von-Teese? No, not like Dita Von-Teese. You won't dance in a champagne glass. Too bad. In two months, you must be ready. Which means? - Our big show. - What? You're not here to compare your underwear. When you're with a woman, you announce who you are. You are at ease, in front of everybody. We'll get naked for people? It's called an audience. No way. It won't be possible. What's not possible, babe? Taking my clothes off in front of people. I can't. I can't dance with a feather up my ass in front of Mom! Yes, you can. It will kill her. Double screen, dear. What? Double screen. You're on your phone and on your computer. Can you handle your dinner tonight? Going out? Yes, I mean, I'm returning something to a friend. How do I look? Very nice. Thank you very much. See you later. Fuck. Damn it. Go see over there. This sucks. - Got it. - Bring it here. Fuck. Here's your helmet. So? So what? How long since you've had sex? I don't know. Three days? Three months? Three years! My God. Okay. - I'll take care of it. - Wait, can't we talk first? Thank you. So that's how you hit on girls? Japanese tea... and vinyls. I mostly listen to them, make them talk. And that's enough? Yes, normally. Don't worry, everything stays inside these walls. Bound by professional secrecy. I put my sympathy face on to look interested. Then I put on a porn. Yeah. Fine. Okay let's go. Show me. Not the porn! Before that: the listening and sympathy. You have to admit something to me. Like what? Incest, rap, illness, I take it all. Okay. Well... When I was a little, I wanted to be a dancer. I was pretty good but my mom didn't want me to. That's good. I'll find something else. You have nothing to feel sorry for? You're fine. You don't have any problems? For you, I have a secret weapon. - A secret weapon that always works? - Yes. Perfect. And then you get the girls in bed? Normally. I warn you, it won't work on me. What a cliché. Do they really go for that? No way. If you insist. Sorry. No. I need to go to the bathroom. On your right. What is all that stuff in the bathroom? No, it's the shopping channel. Yes, I know exactly what it is. It's because I'm insomniac. - So I buy it all. - All of it? - I buy it all. - You do? All of it. Nobody buys all of it. My grandmother and I do. She calls late at night to give me tips. There's a special offer, buy it. So I buy it. You don't actually use this? Sometimes. Never. Visorelax. This is for women. Maybe, but it's for bags under the eyes. You do buy it all! All of it. Got the Crunch Fit too? And the Rock Gym Master. It's upstairs. - Really? - Yes. - You don't have the cooking slicer? - In the kitchen. - With the mandolin? - Of course. I hate you. - I have the shoe-cutter. - Sure, it's a basic. I've got two of them. - And better... - What? I've got the sweeper. - Maxi Sweep. - Yes, exactly. With the telescopic anch? With lights to get under furniture. - So? - I'm impressed. Although you're alone and very pathetic. Yes, but before, I was alone, pathetic, and didn't have the Renov Special body, so I'm getting better. Any other defects? I've got a stock of scented candles. Well, that's okay. What? I have to get up early. What are you doing? Nothing. Why did you come over? To ing back your helmet. - For my helmet? - Well, yes. Are you kidding me? No. It's just... You can't understand. I'm sorry. You changed your hair? You don't like it? I love it. It's looks good. Did you meet a guy? No. I mean, I don't know. There's a guy named Clovis. I don't think I'm ready. Really? It tastes like piss. Fuck, I'm tired. I'm fed up. Really? I may start using cocaine. - No. - Yes. Stop it! Don't worry. I have an operation in one hour. - Hello, Dr. Larchet. - Hi, Celine. Fine and you? See you later? See you! Well, well. I'm not made for this. Made for what? To be happy, people, happiness, you know. I'm allergic to happiness. Or worse, happiness is allergic to me. I'll end up alone. I don't understand anything about life. Siri? What's the meaning of life? I don't think there is a consensus on the matter. Siri? What's the meaning of life? I don't know, but I think there is an application for that. Stop it, you're going to eak it. All evidence points to chocolate. There you have it. That's good. Everyday I see people die. Life is a vast joke. So please take what's fun and stop worrying about the rest. Sorry, I'm late. It's my husband. He forget Sofiane's backpack. He can't handle three children. How does he handle employees? Three backpacks, three notebooks, three lunch boxes. No need to be a rocket scientist. How do they handle a war? Damn, I forgot the missiles! I goofed up. - How was it this morning? - Great. We learned how to take our a off. Gee! Claudette's the most gifted one. I've shown my east ten times a day for six months, I've got practice. No wonder. We did this exercise with chairs. Lucie did this thing. She looked like Lisa Minnelli. We're flexible in my family. I get it from my mom. Flexibility along with her cancer gene. I can't believe I missed the class. Tonight, I'll be a pin-up for my husband. It's going to be hot. You all have boyfriend, husbands? Yes. Don't you? No. Ready to show who you are? We need an audience. I asked Damien. He does the lighting here. I also found this gentleman. Didier. Excuse me? What do you do at the cabaret? I clean. Good. That'll work just fine. Before performing for a real audience, you'll do the Full Monty. You'll go one by one on stage, totally naked, for ten seconds. Butt naked? No, I can't. I'm going to dance naked for Damien and Didier. You're ave. - So? - I can't. I'll never make it. Sure, you will. Act like a naked baby. Come on, look! Wiggle your ass like this. Look at me with my big butt. Let's start with Claudette. Bravo! I didn't think you'd call. Neither did I. Why do you collect all those girls? My therapist says it's a narcissistic upgrading. I collect girls to fill a gap. Why do you need upgrading? Because of my nose. What's wrong with your nose? I'd get made fun of at school. Your nose is fine. It's not. It's like Sarkozy's nose. Look. No, you don't. What should I say? - You have a pretty nose. - It's horrible. Stop it. And you're very pretty. No one has ever called me pretty. Lucie? Scoot over. You need to be strong. So I... I saw the results. They're not good. There is recurrence. So I think we're going to have to think about doing a mastectomy. We need to remove both easts. It's better to play safe. In a couple of months, when you're healed, I'll make you new ones. I'll do... I'll do the same as Kim Kardashian. Okay? Is that okay? No, I want the same as Angelina Jolie. Remember? I used to crawl in your bed. Storms scared me! You were afraid of everything. A storm is creepy when you're a kid. No, not really. Lucie, open the door. Come on. Fuck. How long are you going to play dead? What's your problem? It's too soon to be scared. You know, Lucie... The girls I meet are just for sex. It's different with you. Your temperament sucks. What do you want? I want to know you. I want to know everything. I want to see you when you're well, when you're sick. I want to see you lie to me. I want to know on what side of the bed you sleep. What makes you laugh. What makes you cry. Lucie? You're really a pain in the ass. You're late. Wait here, don't move. I said don't move. Stop it. So, ready for Tuesday's show? I can't wait. My parents are coming, my boyfriend. I'm so happy. It's going to be a shocker. How about you? Any family coming? What's wrong? I'm not doing the show. Recurrence? Mastectomy? Yes. Not doing the show. Giving up once is giving up forever. You're a woman. You know how to fight. The femininity inside you is your weapon. Be kind to yourself. Be kind. Put diamonds on where it hurts. Put feathers in your hair and ribbons on your bandage. You'll say goodbye to your easts in style. You'll see. You'll see. I'm sorry. We're closed. - One rose! - Register's closed. We can sell him one. I'm sick of husbands who forget birthdays! He should of thought of it before. You're welcome. You've been away for too long! We weren't going to leave him like that. You know what? You'll handle the register. I don't know how. Besides, I have... I've done everything for four years. I take care of everything. You have to get it together. Of course, the cancer isn't your fault. Did you ever think about what I'm going through? You're not sick anymore. I'm tired too. I have a life you know. I have a parents-teacher meeting. I don't care how, but you're doing the counting, you're closing the store, and I'm leaving. - Are you crazy? - What about your meeting? What meeting? The parent-teacher meeting? It wasn't a parent-teacher meeting. He stood me up. What do you mean? Stop acting prude. Stephan's never home. He screws all the girls at the office. He cheats on you? Never know what can happen. You were just dancing naked. Want to talk about it? It's a sort of goodbye ceremony. They're removing my easts. That can't be! I'm sorry. Can I give you mine? Take mine. I don't need them anyways. No more babies, an invisible husband. Why are men obsessed with easts? I don't know. There you go. There too. What do I do now? I don't know. - Take a hit. - No. - Just one, it's fine. - No, I'm good. Who do you think is the hottest? Lucie or Manon? I don't look at my mom's ass. It's just my mom. I think my mom's hot. She could have had a smarter man than Dad. Hortense's headed for trouble. It's difficult for her. If only your sister could hold on to a man. 6 PM that's good, okay? Great. I can't believe it. It's tonight. Yes. See you. Don't put too much garlic. Last week you put too much. - Auntie Lucie! - Hi, sweethearts! Adam, wait for me. A hug. Over there, my kiss. - What? - Are you going out after? - I swear, you're hot. - No, stop it. That's nice. How are you? Did you tell mom? - I'm afraid to. - Why? She'll say I'm doing it for attention. - Shall I tell her? - No, I will. - I can. - No, I will. I need to find the right time. Lucie! There. Go on. See you later. Don't eat all the ead. Yes? Be helpful. Snap those beans. How are you doing, Mom? Fine. I'm doing fine. Why are you asking? I don't know. I guess no one asks you. I'm doing fine. - Need help for anything else? - No, thank you. Mom? I need to tell you something. What are you doing? Snapping the ends off. Why are you doing all the beans? We're not an army. - That's wasting. - What should I have done? One kilo. Frederic's kids don't eat beans. What am I going to do with all these green beans? Make necklaces for black kids. What are you drawing? Dad, Mom, Adam and me. Who's that? That's me. - Oh, you're a princess? - Yes! Yes, girls are princesses, I'm so stupid. And who's that? Dad? No, it's my prince. Handsome prince! - Nice boots. - Thank you. - Very nice. - What about yours? Princes don't exist. The wicked witch cast a spell on the princess. So the princess is all oken, and a prince likes a princess who's got everything in place. Not when they eak parts off. So the princess left. Julianne, come say hi to Grandma. - Come on. - Go on. Go see her. Shit. He left you? No, I left. Did you tell him? No, he doesn't know. What do you mean? I didn't say anything. What? I swear, Lucie, what world are you living in? Guys are only assholes in movies. In real life, men are not assholes. They kiss you, they hold your hand, and say everything will be okay. Okay. Go see him. - No, I'll go tonight. - Go there now. I'll tell him tonight. What do you mean? No, tell him now. Does he live far away? Not far. We're having lunch. You kidding me? I'll handle Queen Mom. Go now. Move your ass. Or smell my feet. Go! - I swear! - Wanna smell my feet? - Go! - You're disgusting. Go on. Mom? Mom! Yes? Can you make me French fries, please? French fries? Yes, French fries. Fresh ones and cut thin slices. Like a beef carpaccio, but fries. French fries. My God. I'll explain my problem. So. Well. I... Uhm... I... You showed her your toothpaste collection? No. What did you want to tell me? Nothing. You know what, forget it. It doesn't matter. Is everyone here? Can we eat? Yes, Mom. The lamb is beautiful. Very beautiful. A little more. Finish this first. - Not too much for Lucie. - Green beans? No thank you. I have my fries. Where are my fries? Give me my fries. Hortense, please go put on a descent outfit. Go remove the make-up. Come back when you're descent. What are you talking about, Mom? Her shirt is funny. This is my table. At my table, we dress descently. And if my rules are a problem, you may leave. You can go. Pauline, honey, go get your sweater. Come on. Lucie, you could lecture your daughter. No, I won't lecture my daughter! She's a noble person. She doesn't cheat and doesn't care what others think. At 15, she's doing what I never did: being herself. She can do and dress as she likes. She can even dance naked. I will always be proud of her. Pauline? I'm stoned. You're what? I'm stoned. Okay. I can't believe it. I'm going to have a glass of wine. Yeah, me too. Mom, a drink? - No. - Yes. Never on Sundays. I think you deserve a drink, Mom. Too much virtue, Mom, it's the worst vice. - A glass? - No. - A glass? - Well... With some cocaine? Just to salt your dish and have a good meal. It's not... Hortense didn't smoke, you know. - She's having her coffee now. - I know. - Mom? - No. I'm having my coffee. You never give up. You think I'm ugly? You never give up. You'll follow me to my grave. When we were kids, you enrolled us in dance class. Remember? No. I loved it, remember? On gala night, you came backstage, and wouldn't allow me to go on. That story again. We watched Manon dance from the stands. You were fat! Everyone would have made fun of you. You think I'm ugly? I met your dad right after medical school, I was 19 years old. He was so handsome. I was so young. I knew nothing about life. I never understood why he chose me. I thought he would leave me for a prettier woman. I made him pay all our life. And he never left me. Each time I see you, I see your father. You have his mouth, his eyes. Each time I see you, I see your father. When you had your cancer, I was afraid. Afraid to lose you. Lose you and forget your father's face. There. Happy now? Can I drink my coffee? I hope... No. I don't but... - Did you try? - Yes. The movement. Are you anxious? - A little. - So am I. What. What. What. Love what you do. Be serious without being serious. Take everything that comes with no judgment. Listen to my advice, take the good ones, forget the bad. And never regret, right? And now, go dance. Dance. Are you okay? Calm down. Where are you? Alone at a bus shelter? I'll be right there. Stay where you are. It's my daughter. Oh, not now... Take my place. I'll hurry back. It took me 70 years to show off who I am. We're almost up, and still no Lucie. All of this for nothing. What about us? - Do we cancel? - No. Holy shit! What? I could tease you so bad! - This is nothing. I'll explain later. - I'm listening. It's nothing. I striptease. That's all. I'm on soon. Hurry, or I'll miss the show. You do striptease? I'll tell you all about it later. It's therapeutic. It's for learning self-esteem. You get naked for self-esteem? Yes, and for body awareness. What? You make me laugh. Who's the jerk who left you so late at night? It's was Louis. He wanted... I split. You were at his place? Does his mom know? Yes. What did he want? He wanted my math homework. Well, it's not that... He wanted to sleep with me. I didn't, so I left. I'll call Frederic, he'll pick us up. I don't know what I'd have become without you. I'm proud to be your mother. What are we going to do without Lucie? Come on. Move. Come on. - Floor it! - I can't. Just pass him. Can you explain why I'm here in the middle of the night with Lucie dressed like a hooker? Lucie has a surprise. You'll love it. Come on. Might as well. Bring me home. I'm tired of Lucie's antics. Can you go any faster? What? What's your problem? Bring me home. I'm old. I need to sleep early. You'll still be old tomorrow, Grandma. Take that! - Damn! - I can't believe it. - Sorry. - If I was driving, we'd be there! Really? And this in your face? Cut it out! - Calm down. - Just shut up. Watch the road. - Stupid bitch! - Don't dis me. Mom? Are you listening? Stop whining. Shut up. Shut the fuck up. I can't stand you guys. Stop! I'll toss one of you out. He started it. You don't even say anything, mom. Filthy favorite. I don't have a favorite. I love you all the same. Come on. Quick. Hurry up. I'm trying. Excuse me. Any woman can do this? If one day I want to... Of course, babe. God changed his mind, he let women free. You okay, Grandma? I was in boarding school. Believe me, I've seen worse. Lucie is very ave. I know. She's my daughter. He left. Yeah, but we're here. Are you Lucie Larchet? I'm your Uber driver, Frederic. You have water and mint candy at your disposal. You can also charge your mobile phone. - Thank you. - Nice to meet you. Come on. And after, he'll give you Angelina's easts. Really big ones. That way, maybe I can shag Brad Pitt. You can be so vulgar. That's not how I raised you. Mom, you're so annoying. Don't you know when to shut up? Lucie needs comforting words once in a while! You're a pain with your jibe. What is she to think except she's not good enough for you? You know what? Vulgarity isn't about big boobs or shaking your ass. Lack of tenderness. Lack of love. That's vulgarity. That's what makes people ugly. Listen to her getting on her high horse, and cursing too! That's not how I raised you. Yes, you did, Mom! See? She's embarrassed. Ready? Well, they were too small. No, they weren't, your hands are too big. Make her easts the size of my hands. Subtitling TITRAFILM
Don't think the world is a fair place. People like us must work harder than everyone else. - Me-sook Yang KONG Hyo-jin Jong-hyeuk, BANG Eun-jin - Name please. - Yang Me-sook. - Age? - Twenty-nine. Okay... SEO Woo, HWANG Woo-seul-hye SEO Woo, HWANG Woo-seul-hye Now, how can I help you? Now, how can I help you? Ms. Yang? Ah, doctor? Call me Me-sook, not Ms. Yang. Uh, of course. I want to change, doctor. So please help me. I see. When did it start, Me-sook? High school graduation camp. When I was 18. Everyone ready? On three. Two! One! When people do something strange, there's a reason to it. Crush and Blush 10 Years Later When you ask why... and he says, 'no reason', it's not that he did something without thinking... But that he's answering without thinking! There's a reason to every action. I'm digging uselessly like this, 'cuz there are eyes in our school. And you're here even at the risk, 'cuz you know we can overcome any dangers. But since you answered 'no reason' even with all these, it proves you are very confused and troubled. I feel the same way, Mr. Suh. So tell me the truth. 9:12 a.m. this morning. I sent you a voice message. And you checked it 2 minutes later! How did you know? I get a notice when my message is checked. But, Me-sook... It means at exactly 9:12 a.m... you didn't take my call on purpose or... - pretended you didn't get my message! - Hi, hon. - Right? - Yeah. See! You're very confused and troubled! 'Cuz of me! That's not it. It's okay! I'll wait for you! Okay. I'm still at the school. Is he still uncomfortable 'cuz I was his student 10 years ago? We're both teachers now at the same school. That shouldn't matter. I thought a lot about why he isn't taking my calls. He must be suffering 'cuz he's so in love with me. Like in movies when a man is suffering over a woman, he falls to pieces and turns to prostitutes? Men sometimes want to crawl into their own little caves. I read it's best to just wait for him. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus So I tried to do exactly that. Don't call him But I'm worried, doctor. I'm not calling him on purpose. But what if he thinks I'm not calling for no reason? I can't call him and say I'm not calling him with reason. That wouldn't be waiting it out. So I thought about it more. I found a way to quietly wait without calling him. It's not like I'm stalking. Actually, I was curious. Belly Dancing School. Eun-kyo Sung And this will help me with the wait. But when I saw his wife She's so past menopause and no match for me. Jong-hee Suh Behavior Very egoistic He has a daughter. Too bad Jong-hee doesn't take after her dad. But since she's his daughter, I want to treat her nice, you know? - Where's your name tag? - That student's ours! Leave her alone, Ms. Lee! You! Why the hell are you dressed like that! A middle school student can't talk like that to me! A high school teacher should stay off middle school students, Ms. Lee! My face got worse all because of Ms. Lee. We were both teaching Russian at the high school till last year. Number 12! You are the most popular person in our school. Russian is out of fashion now. Who says Russian isn't popular? It's typical pariah capitalism to study languages only to get good jobs! What about 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics! You are the least popular person in our school. One of you must go down to middle school to teach English. I'm sorry, Ms. Yang. I detest Yu-ri Lee! Did you hear Reds goes to an English learning center? Seriously? She should! Her pronunciation sucks! What's wrong with going to a center to learn English! Who are you! Why me! If it wasn't for Yu-ri Lee! If it wasn't for Yu-ri Lee! If it wasn't for Yu-ri Lee! She deserves a lesson! You're a high school teacher! Stay off middle school students! No need to be good then people will trample on you. But if you're bad people will be good to you! And don't work hard at anything! It's all a waste of time! Don't cry. It's okay. Live life with knack from now on. Bitch... But, the more I think about it... I don't get why Jong-hee acted up to Ms. Lee, the teacher. Isn't it a little strange? It is, isn't it? But why tell me this? Who else would I tell? Dermatologist PARK Chan-wook My face got worse after going down to middle school. I'm telling you everything to help with my treatments. Some patients don't get better even after treatments like you. Aren't there any pills? They're just expensive with not much effect. That's expected of facial blushing. Take foot baths... try to stay calm and... Don't act like you know what it's like! Relax your body completely. Concentrate eathing with the lower abdomen. Inhale slowly and deeply. Exhale in soft, short eaths. With relaxed eathing, concentrate on your heart. How to succeed in English. Have fun! A calm heart void of foolishness. How can you think about meditating? Exploring your heart... Like doing everything she says? Will ing peace to your souls. I hope you all feel the peace through this time of meditation. Greet the morning with calm, peaceful hearts. It's a secret... But I... sleep alone every night in the office. Hang myself If I don't, Living like the others, when will I ever buy my own place? But... I'm so drunk now... I can't go to the office by myself. So, where are you? Well... Do you remember? The pub we all went to last, last, last, last year! I'm leaving for Turkey next month. - Ms. Yang! - What! I, uh... Mr. Suh couldn't come. So I came instead. You two are close enough to call for favors? I'm having a hard time these days. I wonder... when we're alone like this... can we be like sisters? This is Mr. Suh's world music station. It's pretty popular. Did you know? I love this song. From the song you're listening to... The male mariachis' vi ant chorus is impressive. Doesn't the piano sound so fresh? We're like this. We? Listen to me carefully, Ms. Lee. When you start to like someone, even if he just ushes past you, you think, 'did he walk this way 'cuz of me?' It's natural 'cuz we're humans. But for men, they just do it. For no reason. But some stupid women get confused and go crazy! There's no one that stupid. There is! I know him well. The way he treats others... Very selfish, right? That's exactly it! You know? He only thinks of himself. How can he do that to me! Mr. Suh might get a divorce 'cuz of me. Actually... his wife came to my house a few days ago. She said if I really loved him, I could have him. She was so scary, Me-sook. Are you disappointed in him 'cuz of me? Probably are, 'cuz you two are close. No, we're not close at all. That's a relief. I thought you were. Since you kept asking him to drive you home and stuff. Answer it. You two are dating. No, it's Mr. Jang. Who? Mr. Jang? Phys. Ed. Mr. Jang The P.E. teacher? He sometimes calls me late like this. I don't know why, Me-sook. Stubborn bastard! No, this is Mr. Byun. Mr. Byun? Music world with Mr. Byun The music teacher in middle school? Oh my... The strange thing is... Men all seem to call me at once. Did I do something wrong? What are you? Snow white? Is it true your parents are getting divorced? Who said that? Ms. Lee. She said it was a secret. But knowing her, I thought she was lying. That bitch! Yu-ri Lee... I wish she's dead! My mom said... It's okay, you can tell me anything. She's going to Turkey for a belly dance convention, soon. And they'll file for divorce before then! Ban her from leaving the country and buy some time. Won-sung Middle and High Schools will be holding a 1+1=lnfinity festival. Yes, mother. I'm performing at our school festival mom. You have to be there, please. I bluffed that I'm in the 1+1=lnfinity Festival! Smart move! That'll buy us some time! We must stop them from divorcing 'cuz of Yu-ri the bitch! So please find someone to be in the show with me! There must be at least two to be in the show. It's your job to find someone. No one wants to do it with me! They all have inferiority complexes. Isn't your whole class doing something together? I think the ribbon is... a little... ugly! Let's practice! Ms. Princess won't wear the ribbon! Bitch! When her parents are divorced! - What? - What did you say? You're an outcast, too! Wanna hear about my first crush? No! Yes, I suck at English. The kids all hate you 'cuz you suck and skim thru class. I thought they liked teachers who skimmed thru classes. It wouldn't matter either way for you. Wait! I'll find someone to be in the show with you. You keep watch on your dad. Yu-ri Lee... I'll handle her. Why are you helping me, Ms. Yang? I loved teaching Russian! If it wasn't for her, I'd still be teaching it at the high school! And not get snubbed by the kids here! Then I would've been happier! Thank you, Ms. Yang! - Look at them! - What the hell? Waiting for Godot I should have enough money by next month. So you weren't on night shift last night, either? You are very kind, Ms. Lee. It's nothing. The least I can do... But still... You're a lot nicer than I thought! I'd rather hang myself than to be first. Why don't you want to be first, Me-sook? Second is enough! Don't be greedy! Do you know Ms. Lee? Who stepped on the moon second? No. The second to go to the South Pole? Men's cross country skiing at the Winter Olympics in Torino? Who won second? It's sick how people want to be first to be remembered. How superficial! Did the two of you... touch bases and what not? Just a little. I'm not that kind of woman! You lie... I wish I could sleep with a man just holding hands. And he jumps you from behind? Hey! I'll never sleep with a man before marriage! If he can't wait till then, I'll end it with him! Push, push, push, push... North, east, south, west. Push, push, push, push... North, east, south, west. Cheer up, Mrs. Suh. Uh, you too, YU-RI. North, east, south, west. Push, push, push, push. I've been thinking. Where's the girl doing the show with me? Let's be frank. You don't want to do the show, right? I don't want to perform in front of your parents, either. So we'll just... stop their divorce before the show. We? Yes. You couldn't find anyone? I'm not in with the kids, either. But I got this just in case. It's about waiting for someone named 'Godot'. It's a classic, perfect for us to do. This sucks. I'm so screwed! Don't worry, Jong-hee! We won't have to perform! I promise! 'Cuz we'll stop their divorce before the show. How can we do that? Ms. Lee... Yu-ri Lee... She says she hates men who can't wait for sex till marriage. Language Lab I'll be on-line as your dad's ID. Here's my dad's cell phone. She'll be out of our hair soon! Yu-ri Lee is on-line Then, your parents won't get divorced! Then we won't have to do the show! We can do this! I'm surprised you're using Messenger to meet me. Yu-ri Lee I knew it! Don't call or text message me. We're only meeting here from now on. Are you sure, Mr. Suh? I'm dying to sleep with you. You know how I feel, don't you? No, I don't. How can you not? Please tell me how you really feel. Honestly, truthfully, I really feel... I really want to touch you, deeply. You're scaring me. You have a very high EQ. Thanks, Ms. Yang. I want to wear your underwear and rip it to shreds. But when you called me that day. You mentioned the divorce... And said you can't see me anymore. So I thought it was over between us. I want to eat you. Take off your panties, now. Alright! I wasn't wearing anything. What the hell? You already told her to take off her underwear. Are you there? Is she crazy? I thought maybe you needed these. What's she giving him? Damn! What is that? - Morning, sir. - Hi. Good morning! - Morning, sir. - Morning, sir. Let's not mention what we talk about here anywhere else. It's more exciting that way. So we only meet on-line like this every night? Does it have to be... every night? I stick my nose deep within your groins. I stick my nose deep within your groins. Yew! Barf! You freak! Then I blow my nose inside you! Krrrrr... Like it filling up inside you? You dirty freak! Don't ever come near me! I love you 'cuz you're so dirty! Do me something else tomorrow. I think we're doing the show. I don't think I can do the show with you. I don't want to do it with you either! Don't you dare come to the lab! You're out! Damn! Scared me! What the... It's getting bigger! BIGGER! BIGGER! Please! Don't stop! Bigger! Bigger! Bugger! Bogger! 'Kamasutra' Yu-ri Lee hates men who can't wait for sex till marriage. Bigger! Bigger! Bugger! Bigger! Am I embarrassing? You don't want to do the show 'cuz you're embarrassed of me, right? I know you don't like me, either! That's why you won't do the show with me like everyone else! Why would I hate you? Really? But you're embarrassed of me, aren't you! Yeah... You're so mean! Move the desks back and put the chairs up front. Okay. Let's finish up quickly. One, two, three! And thank you. Thank you. Not at all. Yes yes. No no. Yes yes. No no. No, really... Do we have to do this? We need blood circulation. I don't understand what I'm saying. Don't worry! You'll get it after a while! No, I'm really... I can't take this! You told me not to work hard at anything! Then why are you! I'm like that. Then let's pray. Sit down. Father God, we pray that you drive Yu-ri Lee away... And help us not to be in the show. Waiting for Godot Why does life have to be so hard? Don't think the world is a fair place. People like us must work harder than everyone else. Shall we begin? Don't be easy. No, please. No, I'm really thankful! No need, really. Yu-ri Lee is on-line. And thank you. No, I'm really thankful! Don't be easy. Yu-ri Lee is off-line No, please. And thank you! Not at all! And thank you! Yu-ri Lee is on-line Yu-ri Lee is on-line Yu-ri Lee is on-line Yu-ri Lee is on-line Yu-ri Lee is on-line Yu-ri Lee is on-line What's your father like, Ms. Yang? He died before I was born. I don't even know what he looks like. At least mom died after giving birth to me. You're an orphan? By the way... How did your parents meet? Mom's 8 years older than dad. When mom was 29 she hit a cab riding drunk on a motorcycle. She was hospitalized for over a year. Dad was a college student volunteering at the hospital. That's when their eyes met. Then what? We're not lovers with secrets! Tell me! Well, it gets kind of x-rated. Tell me! I like dirty things! Well... my mom got pregnant with me. In a patient room for 8! Really... Not only that... Her body was covered in bandages. What? Is it possible to do it like that? Of course it is! Then what about me! Mom knew she was pregnant and asked dad to marry her. How? She said just one thing. Take responsibility for getting her pregnant? Grow up, will ya? You really got me. That's it! That's it? I can't do this anymore! Change of strategy! I can't wait any longer! Show me! Right now! You are my lighter. A lighter? You put my body on fire! Hot chemistry! She's undoing another button. She's wearing a sexy a! What the hell are they doing? Dad's here. Ms. Lee? You wanted to see me? Say 'chemistry faculty' in Russian. In a sexy way! Exactly 69 times! Him fuk! Him fuk! What? That's how you say 'chemistry faculty' in Russian? Ms. Lee... Him fuk! Him fuk! Him fuk! Him fuk! Thanks Jong-hee. Wait! I'm not done yet! Mr. Suh... Ms. Lee? Him fuk... - Ms. Lee? - Him fuk... The bell rang. Oh, Mr. Suh... Ms. Lee... Mr. Suh... Him fuk... Him fuk... Mr. Suh? Where are you? I am scared! Then I realized... pulling myself away was difficult. There is something much bigger and higher than this. Free will to make me stronger. My wife is much hotter. It's over. Jong-chul Suh As many days go by... Thank you for everything. We don't have to do the show, anymore. When I should feel lonely... Hail comes tapping at my window. Then I would kneel before the furnace... and think of a lone rock in a distant mountain And the dried leaves awaiting the snow. Soft crackles... and remember... I don't think age matters to be good friends. We know what each other's thinking without saying. If I type 'bigger' She'll go on typing it, so that my fingers won't hurt. Then I'll keep typing it so that hers won't hurt. If I keep typing 'bigger' fast... it turns into 'bugger' or 'booger'. I make typos all the time. But she always gets it right! - Have you ever tried it? - No. It's funny. You should try it. Don't tell her we're moving offices next week! Keep typing it fast... and you'll get 'bugger' and 'booger'. Try it! Can you move if your body's all bandaged up? Of course you can't! - Then how can you do it? - Do what? Get out of the way! What possible positions are there for a woman covered in bandages and a man? It's very important to me. Only serious answers, please. The hell would I know! Shit! Crazy idiot! They must be crazy! - Me-sook? - Yeah? Mr. Suh's acting strange. He eaks up with me, then writes me. He dumps me again and now he text messages me! What does it say? I didn't hear from you since that day so I thought it was over. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Jong-chul Suh. 'Thought it was over'? Does that mean it's not over? No, he means from before. Before? When? When I went to get you instead of him at that pub. He didn't say it was over, then! No, but he told me flat out. His wife wanted a divorce. I knew that it's over between us then. But he didn't say it was over! Oh, Me-sook. You don't have to actually say 'it's over' to know. When you get the feeling it's over, then it is. Why don't you say it flat out if you're dating him or not! You're no cele ity! Why are you being sulky? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I thought you knew. I'm sorry, Me-sook. I'd better go. He's drinking alone. I need to talk things out with him. Don't go, Ms. Lee! Don't you have any pride! I've always been like this, Me-sook. They all come after me first. But when I tell them I like them too, they all dump me within 75 days! I regretted it a lot this time. I gave it a lot of thought. I even did some research. I told you, men do things for no reason! Just get over it! Mr. Suh and I really need to talk it out. Don't worry about me. And don't wait up. Yu-ri! No! It's dangerous out there! At least tell me where you're meeting so I won't worry. I'm going to that pub. Don't worry and sleep tight. Your dad and Yu-ri are about to meet! We must stop 'em! Your dad and Yu-ri are about to meet! I think you're still beautiful mom! Thank you very much. Bye. Jong-hee Suh My little girl Who are you? It's still me, Me-sook. No. Stop lying, Yu-ri. No, it's still me, Me-sook. Mr. Byun? Hello? Go on in. This is hilarious! What are you doing? You look so funny! Happy? Shouldn't this motel make its sign out of gold? Make the letters a lot bigger? The biggest out of all the motels? And make that out of gold. That one, too. This should be a five-star-motel. 'Cuz we're here. Did you... see Ms. Lee by chance? Mr. Byun. I'm destined to be lonely all my life. How do you feel towards me? Thankful and sorry. You lie... Why would I lie to you, Ms. Yang? Thankful and sorry? You sent me messages 'cuz you're just thankful and sorry? And attached special symbols on them? And on Wal-sun's last day of school... What was the hug for? I hugged who? Wal-sun Um! My student who moved away two years ago! - Look, Ms. Yang... - What! I don't remember that girl. And what special symbols? Please don't do this to me. Attacking is the best defense You've got a message. You've got a message. You've got a message. You're not talking about... the automatic symbols at the end of messages are you? Don't sleep during staff meetings. Automatic symbols? I cancelled that last month. After a free month, I cancelled it. They're for kids. I'm so sorry! I take early morning English classes. You ugly rat! But it was real for us in the beetle last, last, last, last year! Then I realized... Pulling myself away was difficult. There is something much bigger and higher than this. Free will to make me stronger. As many days go by... Sadness and grief all melt away. I love you, hon. Won-sung Girls Middle and High School Festival D-3 Ms. Yang! Ms. Yang! My dad didn't come home last night! It's her! Me-sook! Good morning! No! Stop! Go to class! Now! Let me handle this. Hurry up! Go! Me-sook! I wasn't with Suh! I met a girlfriend by chance! You're wearing my dress. Without asking... We're roommates. Don't be picky. You didn't come home last night? You didn't know? Uh, I went to see my dad. He got sick. Your dad? You said he passed away. Ah, I lied. What? Why would you lie about that? It's Suh! I'm not following you! Me-sook? Me-sook Yang! Damn, where'd she go? Me-sook! Hurry up! Out of the way, please! Okay. The student in the end! Move in closer! Just take the picture! Everyone ready? No, wait! Girls? Where's Me-sook? She didn't come. No, I'm sure she came. Right? Let's just take the picture! Everyone ready? Me-sook! Three... Three, two... Three, two, one! Guess where I was then? Okay! Me-sook? Are you, alright? Did you fall? Jong-hee Suh Caller ID restricted Hello? - Enjoy sleeping with a married man? - What? Excuse me. Mr. Byun is married? Hello? Mr. Byun? The music teacher? You slept with Mr. Byun? I had no idea he was married. Then who did Mr. Suh sleep with? He slept with someone? He slept with you! No, I slept with Mr. Byun! Stop lying! I got proof you slept together! I couldn't sleep with him! I swear! This is crazy! I only saw his cell phone! Ask Mr. Byun! But you said you went out to meet him! Yeah, I did! But he was gone when I got there! And I never got to meet him that night! Ask Me-sook! Who is this? Someone very close to Jong-chul Suh. So there! Is this Mrs. Suh? Guess you only heard the first half and misunderstood. I told her again I didn't get to meet him. How can you take what Ms. Yang said and call it proof! Ms. Yang wasn't with me last night. She wasn't with Mr. Suh, either. She was with her dad, how would she know? Me-sook's dad passed away! Uh, I lied. I thought so, too. But she said he's not. Stop lying! What are you saying? You mean Ms. Yang's father is really dead? Of course he is! Why would she lie about that? She's human! Yu-ri Lee! I wish she's dead! That's a pretty big lie... But if it's not a lie... Then that means she was with her dead father. That's crazy. And she sure wasn't with me. That means she was with Mr. Suh. Oh no, Mrs. Suh. I really hope Me-sook's father is alive. Hello? Hello? Mrs. Suh? Excuse me. Beef cabbage rolls are served. It's a healthy Chinese dish... I'll serve it to you. Eun-kyo Sung speaking. Don't call up someone and hang up on her! Thought I'd be scared if you called me with voice modulation? Who is this? Me-sook Yang has got you fooled! Yu-ri Lee didn't sleep with Jong-chul Suh! He slept with Me-sook Yang! I knew there was something fishy between them! Asking him to drive her home and what not. It must've been more exciting between a former teacher and student. Hello? She hung up on me again! Hello! Damn it! Eat before it gets cold, dear. - Excuse me? - Yes? Where's the dermatologist that used to be here? They moved out last week. Where did they go? How would I know? What do I do now? There are two other clinics up the road. And three down across the street. Find a new one. But... Then I have to explain everything all over again. Ms. Me-sook Yang? There's no teacher by that name. Is Ms. Yang, Reds? With the school loser? Yeah! The loser's lover! What does a school loser mean? The biggest social outcast in the school. Mr. Suh's the school's outcast? No, it's his daughter, Jong-hee Suh. She's his daughter? She thinks she's all that 'cuz her dad's a teacher. I saw him, Jong-hee, Reds, and another woman doing 'Him fuk'. What are you talking about? I can't say... Him fuk? Fuk him? What? Hey, you! I'm sorry. Very sorry. I'm sorry. Very sorry. Let go! No, you come with me! Jong-hee! I know you... Yu-ri Lee from my night class? You're a teacher here? No, she's Ms. Me-sook Yang. You're here! Oh, everyone's here. Yu-ri Lee! Yes? We need to talk. Language Lab Then that means... Ms. Yang's been backbiting me to Jong-hee, and backbiting Mr. Suh to me, then backbiting me to you all this time! And she's the one who called me using voice modulation! To tell me she slept with Mr. Suh! Why would she? To ag! Do all that just to ag? I'm the one who called! 'Cuz I thought dad was with Yu-ri Lee. I thought they slept together. Everyone put on your headphones. Can you hear me? It's okay. As long as you didn't get infected with anything. How was it? Horrible. Why'd you sleep with Ms. Yang when you liked Ms. Lee? When you ought up divorce I ended things with Ms. Lee that night! That's not true! You wanted an intimate relationship after that! An intimate relationship? Not in that sense. He wanted to talk intimately all night. Talk intimately? It was torture! He kept me up all night! Yeah right! We couldn't get any sleep 'cuz of you! Goin' crazy if we logged on late. Begging to keep writing even after the sun came up! You only gave us 5 minute eaks! How can we do all that and send you a banana? You freak! Bigger! Bigger! Bigger! Bigger! You said 'Him fuk' to my dad! Jong-hee! Can't you hear Tom and Mary babbling on tape? You heard everything we said? Who's Mary? 'Mary' is confusing us! You made my daughter do unspeakable things. And tortured Ms. Lee every night. You also spied on me by joining my class under an alias. And you slept with my husband when he was drunk. And she didn't pay for the utilities when she lived with me! When people do something strange, there's a reason to it. She's a human, too! Thank you. Now. Tell me. About what? Why'd you do it, Ms. Yang? First, I wanna set something straight! I stayed up all night with Jong-hee then went to my English class at dawn! After teaching, I went straight to belly dancing! Then I met Jong-hee at nights. I was hardly at Yu-ri's! I had no time to wash at home! So I washed my hair at school! How can anyone survive a schedule like that? You can't get any rest or eat like that! I can! I took a nap in the nurse's room at lunch time. I had no time to eat 'cuz of my morning English classes. I had no time to sleep at night so I took naps at lunch. Since I didn't have time for lunch, I survived on snacks. I had no time for dinner 'cuz of the dancing classes. I met Jong-hee right after class so I had no time to eat dinner. I chatted on line with Yu-ri all night and also practiced for the show! I barely survived on what Jong-hee ought over. You're a human being... how can you hurt Jong-hee by sleeping with her father? I didn't sleep with him, knowing I'm sorry. But that doesn't mean I wasn't sorry! It's just... I felt something in the elevator... I know you can't really trust such a subjective excuse. But why does everyone believe Ms. Lee? She goes around babbling on about feeling it and all. I know! Ms. Lee is good and I'm ugly! I know I'm ugly! If I were Yu-ri, you all wouldn't be doing this! But since I'm Me-sook, everyone ignores me! Let's talk about this at home, hon! Get your things, Jong-hee! Team 18. Hear me out, Jong-hee! - Leave her alone! - Team 18. Please come backstage and state your team name. Get your mom. - I'm not finished! - Team 18. Jong-hee Suh and Ms. Yang, please come backstage. - Did you enter us? - I thought it was you! I'm sorry. We do have a name. The team name is... Loser and Her Lover. Sorry. Why would I be with a loser like you! I'm the loser? I'm the lover! Jong-hee! Think we were a little harsh? Who cares? Let's go dad! He took advantage of me! Last, last, last, last year. He did what? He came on to you? Huh? Are you crazy! I didn't do anything! How can you say that after what you did! Tell me what he did! I can't say it! If you don't tell me... we're really through! What the hell are you doing! I'm so sorry. Don't ever forgive me. Sorry for what? Everything. Don't cry Jong-hee! Please! I'll confess everything. Your dad didn't take advantage of me. What are you talking about! It was... mutual. Last, last, last, last year in the beetle... He touched me like this... Then I... touched him like this... Don't worry, Mr. Suh. Then he just... Just... pretended he was asleep. That's it? Yup. Don't cry Jong-hee! Please. I'll go back in and tell them the truth. That your dad didn't come on to me. And that the feelings were mutual. That I liked it, too. I'm so sorry. What are you talking about? That's what you'll say in there? Like this? And this? And show it to my mom? But that's the truth. You hate me now, don't you? Okay. Me-sook Yang! Do exactly as I tell you. Well, uh... Inside the beetle last, last, last, last year... You must remember Mr. Suh? How you licked up my ear? Who me? And stuck your tongue in and out. I did? You sucked on my earlobe... and whispered romantically... Romantically? You're so delicious! I hate you dad! I swear I didn't do it, hon. Wait! Let me get this straight. You sexually harassed your co-worker! Will you smarten up, if you get sued? It wasn't sexual harassment! The hell it wasn't! Ms. Yang... Can't you tell the difference between molestation and expression of love? I felt it was an expression of love! Then you must really be in love. Spread the seeds of love Spread the seeds of love everywhere Mothers, fathers, everyone spread the seeds of love First, you should get over Jong-chul completely, Ms. Yang. I'm divorcing him as of today, too. Too bad. Guess you're going behind bars, dear. Why? He should pay for his crime! I'll pay for a good lawyer to sue him! - Mom! - Mrs. Suh! It was all a lie! If it was a lie... that means a teacher and student... schemed together to end a marriage. Who'd believe that? No one! People make mistakes! How can their feelings never change! It takes effort! Sometimes they need a eak! Fine! I stopped for a sec and made a mistake! Like you never made one mistake in your life! Was I a mistake, too? Grow up will you, Ms. Lee! Meeting you in that hospital was my best mistake ever! Then Jong-hee was born and everything was great! So let's drop this, please? I know everything! I know I'm adopted! No! You're our daughter! Stop lying! How can you do it when mom was covered in bandages? I studied and researched it! That's impossible! It's possible! Everything's possible if you're in love. Please, forgive me, hon. I'll explain it all to you later. Mom... I'm so sorry about everything! You talk about making mistakes. So I guess my accident was a mistake and you volunteering, too? Jong-hee being born and everything's all a mistake? Poor Me-sook. Are you okay? I know how you must feel. I'm sorry, Me-sook. Me, too! Please! Include me in, Mrs. Suh! Please! Forgive me. Forgive you for what, Ms. Yang? So you're not going to sue my Jong-chul? No! And stop stalking him? Then... what is it you want? Not sure. What do you want from him? I never really thought about it. You chased a married man for 4 years and never thought about it? Well, I've been really busy. Let's set things straight once and for all. 10 minutes should be enough to decide, right? How can I even think about thinking. Starting now! Relax your body completely. Concentrate eathing with the lower abdomen. Inhale slowly and deeply. Exhale in soft, short eaths. With relaxed eathing, concentrate on your heart. A calm heart void of foolishness. One. Take Mr. Suh and be a homewrecker. Or two. Forget him and make a fresh start. What'll it be, Ms. Yang? Wait. I have one last question. Did you ever feel like calling me, Mr. Suh? For no reason? Not once. Actually, that's what I thought. But I wanted to call you everyday. For no reason. I choose number 2. A fresh start. Next up is 'Loser and Her Lover' team. Where is 'Loser and Her Lover' team? Let's not do this, Jong-hee! They'll think we gave up 'cuz of embarrassment! Where is 'Loser and Her Lover' team? Are you giving up? Last call for 'Loser and Lover'! No one cares about people like us! But I care! But I'm... I'm so embarrassed of myself. Stop it! I'm not embarrassed of you! Stop whining! Really? 'Loser and Lover' team has given up. Next up is... Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! Becoming One World Festival! Loser! Loser! Loser! Loser! We practiced hard like everyone else! And thank you. Thank you. Not at all. Yes yes. No no. Hello? Yes yes. No no. I don't seem to be able to depart. Such is life. Thank you. They even threw us toilet paper and stones! I wonder what part we did was so good! We were so cool all the way! So messed up! This is only one bag that I have. The following spring Now... What do I do with my life? Hey doc, are you married? Stop it! Are you married or not? Say it! No... You really got me. Nineteen-years-old. My face was flushed red. Stick skinny with mad, curly hair. I was so shy. My red face... No one took notice. How much redder must I be to be noticed? How angry must I be to get red? I was so shy. Nineteen-years-old. I had one little wish. Though my face is red... Please, listen to me. Just once

Eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs Eggs poached and scrambled MACHINE RUMBLING Jesus, what a shitty fridge! Anyway, back to me. Here I am, mid-30s and I've finally realized my heart belongs in eggs. You don't know how long I've waited to hear that, Duxton. I mean, you have had such a dubious career path. Kelvin, that's all behind me. I'm totally hip to health now. That's where the new century's going. That's where I'm coming from. CAPPUCCINO MAKER GURGLING CAPPUCCINO MAKER HISSING I thought Roger fixed that. He did. Roger's our... ...maintenance man. Maintenance man. TOOLS CLANGING Roger! Gymbals jammed on number three yolk analyzer. Good as fixed, Bob! TOOLS CLANGING I understand you're the firm's biz whiz? Just the accountant. The boss tells me that you're well hung in the frontal lobe department. So, happy with turnover, professor? It's been falling but we're confident things are really going to pick up in the next quarter. That's what they said about the Roman Empire. Profit isn't everything. Thank you, Lyndon. Duxton, I respect the egg. This humble sphere has sustained humankind through the ascent of civilization. It's the symbol of life! Natural, nutritious, perfect. GRUNTING Our customers are like family and a man's family deserves the best. Right, Audrey? The firm's policy has always been to value the quality of the egg. And what about the quality of your bottom line? Conservatism is the enemy of the entrepreneur. If the Wright Brothers didn't take a few risks, there'd be no such thing as frequent flyer points. Think about it. POWERING UP WHIRRING ROGER YELPING EXCLAIMING Whoa! Two million free-range eggs a day. BARKS WHISTLES There we are. There's the pair of Leghorn layers daddy gave you. How did you turn those two scrawny birds into the biggest free-range egg empire in the country? Love. Love your customers. Love your workers. Love your chickens. Beautiful. So what say I, uh, start you off as... President of the company. LAUGHS Well, with that kind of ambition, maybe one day you'll... That day is today. You're resigning. Making me head rooster. Just sign where I've marked. Why would I do that? Eggs are my life. Well, I'm poaching your factory, now sign! Over my dead body! That is your option. I'm not scared of you! Is that so? Maybe your girlfriend here would like a manicure. No! I'll sign. But you're no longer a other of mine. Cool, that'll save me a Christmas card. Kelvin wouldn't just leave without saying goodbye. Goes to show how unimportant employees are to management. Maybe Kelvin's other will be good for the company. I don't know. He seems kind of scary to me. Hey you! What a loser. Get me wheels! You can't just dump Kelvin's fridge. It's a rare 1959 Freezemaster Deluxe. It's a classic valve model! It's s a disgrace! These old refrigerators are an environmental nightmare. They leak fluorocarbons into the ozone layer. But the sum of its parts is worth more than the whole fridge. I could dismantle it and... Hey, fella! We've only got one planet! But dumping is wasteful. Why not recycle it? Recycle. From here the scrap goes to the blast furnace for meltdown. Straight to oblivion! Beautiful. Top of the range, state of the art, twin door, auto defrost, Arctic Prince 2000! He said he used to be a top executive for one of the biggest corporations in the world. Then he told me he's come up with a vitamin enriched hen food that'll produce super-healthy eggs! He should be reducing costs, not increasing them! He's a fiscal playboy! He'll destabilize our company! But if his new chicken feed is even healthier, our chooks'll be happier so they'll lay more humpties. Hey, what will we have for dinner tonight? I can cook anything you like, as long as it's chicken. I like Tandoori Chicken. I like Sweet and Sour Chicken. I like Garlic Chicken, I like Southern Fried Chicken. Good girl. I like Hawaiian Chicken. I love barbequed Chi... Hold it. What? Where's that fleabag hitching a ride to? She needs a place to crash. So get her a room at the pound. She's lonely without Kelvin. He just deserted her. Dogs have got feelings, too. Haven't you, Audrey? You know, Roger, you have so much love to give. If you could just find the right woman. I've found her, Lyndon. I mean a female of your own species. CHATTERING ON TV BARKING BOTH IMITATING HENS CLUCKING EXHALES Hey, how about we hit the clubs tonight? What for? What for? You're a hot-blooded, testosterone-pumping male. Sorry, I'll be too busy. Doing what? My hobby. Roger, taking stuff apart is not a hobby. What you've got is a compulsive obsessive dismantling fixation. If you ask me, it's you that's falling apart. You need to get out. Get a life. Live a little! Who'd look after Audrey and Barry? Well, I think for one evening a dog and a goldfish can amuse themselves. BARKS Don't look at me. I'm not a dog person. Lyndon, you know I'm not very good with...

Right.And then, mankind comes along and builds a city on top. Yep. And then one day they're excavating to build a skyscraper, and then what? They almost uncover the space ship.

Nowhere on these egg cartons does it say Health These eggs can kill you. He's been putting tobacco in the chicken feed! Management can always learn something from the worker, eh, Roger? I should have killed you first then crushed you. Simple mistake. Won't happen again. Look at this. Ever heard of defrost? Oh... I don't know how people can live like this. Okay, the place is a little untidy. But that's nothing compared to getting innocent people hooked on nicotine! Ratbag-lefty-greeny-do-gooder! Outside that window, the world's disintegrating and what's your solution? Kick the tobacco industry around. Easy target, ain't we? I hate you, turning defenseless little chickens into tobacco junkies! You're fools if you think you can beat us. We'll just keep coming back in a different form. Eggs today, milk tomorrow. Then what, baby food? We're working on it. You're one sick puppy! And you're dead! Get in! Both of you! Got a cigarette? I'm sorry, Roger, but I'm not spending the final moments of my life locked in a refrigerator eathing someone else's smoke. Please! I'm falling to pieces! I got to have one last puff! I can dig that.

The new era will be called Heisei. REN TAKAHASHI BORN HEISEI 1 (1989) JANUARY 8TH HEISEI 13 (2001) Hey, Takehara! -You're late, Ren! -Practice ran overtime. -Let's go! -We won't make it on time. Yeah, we will! Come on! So pretty. Yeah. Takehara! Look, the fireworks! -We're almost there! -Hurry! That is the end of the fireworks. Areas near the venue are expected to be crowded. Please watch your step on your way home. -Aoi, let's go. -Have a great night. I want to stay here just a bit longer. Can we, Yumi? Ugh, we missed it! For real? Ow… Aww… This sucks. Here. Are you okay? Your arm. Uh… Let me do it. Thanks. You're such a loser, Ren. Shut up. So, my family runs a car repair shop. They don't care how I do at school. And you? Same. Yeah? I'm in the soccer club right now. I'm the only 1st grader that made it onto the team. That's amazing. Go on! Go! -Go! -You can do it! I knew I'd see you again. -You text me too much. -What? Hey, I'm into music. I'm going to be famous when I grow up. Go, Ren! Over here! Go for it! Nice one! Here. For me? Whoa! Thanks. So good! It's the best ever! Really? When did he get…? I've never seen Aoi look so happy like that. Can I keep this? It'll be our friendship acelet. When I grow up, I want to play soccer at the National Stadium. I want to make it on the national team and play soccer around the world. I know you can do it. Thanks. What's your dream? Me? I want an ordinary life. I don't need to travel the world. Yeah? You know… I have a crush on you, Aoi! Thanks! I don't want to go home. We'll see each other tomorrow. Your parents will be worried if you don't go home. See you tomorrow on the hills of Biei! Yumi? Aoi didn't come to school today. No one's home. I was worried because her family is strange. Her father is deceased. Aoi never liked to talk about her family. This is it. It seemed like she often got meals for free here. They left early this morning. Like they were running away. I always heard that young guy yelling. I told the town office several times about it. But her mother kept covering up for him. It was just yesterday. She ought an empty lunch box over. She asked me to teach her how to cook. Oh, how happy she looked. HEISEI 20 (2008) BIEI, HOKKAIDO PREFECTURE -Next! -Sure. -Hey! What's wrong with you? -Sorry. Hanaoka, take over! Coming! You go polish. Okay. Hurry! Thanks for the meal. Gotcha! Are you frustrated with the world or yourself? Come again? You're always so grouchy. Why do you work here in the first place? I bought a new car. But you commute by bike. I crashed it into a tractor. I have four years left of the loan. So you were willing to take any job? Actually, I was looking for a job here in Biei. Why Biei? Just because. YUMI AND I ARE ENGAGED! FROM TAKEHARA HEISEI 21 (2009) -I'll take your coat. -Thank you. Here is your coat tag. The reception is this way, sir. -Uh… Hi. -Congratulations. Congratulations. You're making me nervous! I've never done it before. Takehara! -You look ridiculous! -You too! -Congrats, man! -Thanks! -Oh yeah. Come here. -What? What? Aoi Sonoda. She's coming to the wedding today. Right, Yumi? I ran into her the other day in Shibuya. HEISEI 13 (2001) SAPPORO, HOKKAIDO BUILDING 3 SUSUKINO RESIDENCE Hello? Ren? Aoi? Yumi asked the school for your address for me. What happened to your eye? Uh, hey, I'm sorry. I didn't know. It's just two more years. When I graduate, I'll work. I'll bear it until then. I have no other choice. No matter what they do to me. Move, at. I told you not to sit there! You tick me off. Mommy! You got a problem? You think you're so smart studying? Huh? Let's go. You can't stay with them. I came here before on a campout. The janitor is absent during the winter. It's just for tonight. Nobody will know. I heard it on the news. It's been three months since the 9/11 attacks. The site will be open to the public at the end of this month. People are still removing de is and searching for victims. The area around the building has turned into a place of prayer. Ren. And I think… This isn't going to work. Though we can't ing back the lost lives, it's time for the world to come together I have an uncle who runs an apple orchid in Aomori Prefecture. I'm sure he'd help us. We'll go to Hakodate and take the ferry from there. We start this program with this song… We can pick apples together. …Threads by Miyuki Nakajima. I will protect you. We know absolutely nothing About why we meet someone We never know Why are the lights on? When we will meet someone We never know Where were you? Where did you come from? Two stories… Let's go. Beneath the faraway skies You are the vertical thread… Thanks. It's fine, Ren. Let's go back. The cloth we weave might someday Keep someone warm. Kids! Stop right there! You two! Stop right there! -Kids! -Stop! Hey, you! You little punk! -Don't hit him! -Aoi! -Are you all right? -I was so worried about you! Mommy. You better tell them that you fell. Got it? Wait! Insecure, shaking in the wind You are the vertical thread And l am the horizontal one Aoi! The cloth we weave might someday Aoi! Help nurse someone's injury Aoi! You are the vertical thread And l am the horizontal one Excuse me. We were born when the new era of Heisei began! Our parents loved and cherished us. We had a wonderful childhood. In junior high, I developed a passion for music. -Freddie! -Yo, superstar! Now, I work at Tosei Construction, a leading company. This is when we first met. We were 12 years old. We met at a fireworks festival. I knew it was destiny. You know, it was rock 'n' roll. He kept trying to talk to me. At first, I thought he was annoying. But then I started to think he was like a puppy. What the heck?! Your wife is so pretty. Right? This is so unfair. You saw her in December last year. -I did? -You did. -No way. -Yes, you did. -Ah, that ugly… -She's not ugly! Want some? No? It's been a long time, Ren. What have you been up to, Sonoda? I work at a cheese factory. -In Hokkaido? -Yeah. -All this time? -Yep. Today is my first time in Tokyo. What an amazing city. -What about soccer? -Soccer? Oh. I quit in high school. You said you'd become a world-famous soccer player. I just wasn't cut out for it. Do you remember the friendship acelet? I do. You do? I wonder where it went? What did I do with it? Here. Thanks. So? What have you been up to? I'm studying business at university. Seriously? Of course we've changed. We're no longer in junior high. Thanks. Your tie is crooked. We've been on and off so many times. You know how it is. Oh yeah? But I promise to make Yumi happy from here onwards. He's drunk. I'm sorry. Congrats, guys. I have to go now. I'm gonna miss you. -Then let's go. -Of course, I'm going. Hey, about that friendship acelet. To be honest, I was wearing it until just recently. But it fell off just the other day. I'm glad I met you. Bye. A YEAR BEFORE Here's another girl! She's hot! She's a hottie, and we want to see her chug! We want to see her chug! Hang on. I'll drink for her! She can't drink much. What good is a hostess if she can't drink? Look at my nails. I work as a nail technician during the daytime. Wow, so pretty. Like I'd care! I'm sick of ya! I'm a paying customer. Get lost! Leave our table! I'll drink. Mr. Mizushima? I knew you could drink! Good girl! -Look at this. -What is it? You like it? I've ought you Aoi. Hey, you. Move. You sit next to Mr. Mizushima. I'm from Tokyo. I live with my mother so I have money, but I had nothing to do. I was just curious about this whole hostess thing. I also make websites. But the salary is better, and it's fun talking to the customers. You're lying. You need the money. You have nobody. What? MEIO UNIVERSITY We're a music club. Who wants to make music with us? -Would you like to join us? -Please take a look. Wanna join our basketball team? It's those nightmares again. I've been there. Just like you. You know, money can make most things better. Aoi, come live here with me, will you? HEISEI 21 (2009) JANUARY 21ST Yes. This is Sasaki. Investors from the West Coast made another 1.5 billion cancellation. We survived the financial crash last year. Yes, but… We're fine. Here, this is yours. Use it as you like. I told you I don't want it anymore. I can handle my tuition. Just take it. I'll earn my own money. And go back to what it was before? See ya! I'm off. See you. What are you staring at? -See ya. -See you tomorrow. Bye. Knock it off. No thanks. You're absent-minded even during work these days. I bet you were dumped by a chick or something. -As for me… -I get it. I'll be more focused at work. I started dating him back in junior high. Ten years. Ten whole years. His family had a potato farm, so I helped on my days off. I was going to live in this town with him and his family forever. That was my plan. But I saw it. He went to a university in Sapporo. He met her there. She was helping with the potatoes. She was beaming. A junior high school crush is not going to last forever. Let it go. It's all in the past. Why are you crying? What's there to cry about? Get it together! Kaori Kirino! How do you create a system that makes money effortlessly? It's when your commodities fly off the shelf on their own. What a great idea. Once you get this going, you'll… Aoi? Do you know where Mr. Mizushima is? What happened? He ran. What? We took a hit last year when the Lehman Brothers went down. He said everything was fine. He said he saw it coming. No one in Japan could have seen that coming. Ah, but lucky you. You got enough out of him, right? I knew you'd be here. Your fishing gear was gone. This was always your favorite place. This time, I'll take care of you. This is not where you belong. So what? What's the matter? There's no catch. Come join us. Come. Come on, Aoi! Just one year. All because Yumi met another guy. And her, she works in admin. She was there for me. That's when I realized that I was destined to be with her. I don't care how much you make fun of me. I won't. I'm the same too. -Sorry, I'm late. -Hey! -We took time cleaning up. -Yeah? That sucks. This is Kaori Kirino. We work together at the cheese factory. So, we're moving in together next week. -This is Takehara. -Hi. -And Riko. -Riko. -This is Rika. -Nice to meet you. You did the right thing divorcing her! -Thanks. -He's drunk. What matters is the present, not the past. You look so happy. -Am I right? -You are. -Right? -Yes, Ma'am. You need a woman like this, Ren. What do you mean? Not someone who walks after you but leads you instead. Who wears the pants. And I think Riko is a perfect match for you. How so? I spill something, and she wipes it up right away. Wipe it up yourself! Sorry, Riko. Thanks. I don't care what people say. I approve. Riko and Takehara are meant to be. There you have it. Why cry? We wiped the table with that. Gross! I'm going to sing. You are? Ren! You better make Kaori happy! Life in this small town suits a man like me. -What's wrong with small? -Whoa. You scared me. Where'd that come from? I only have a junior high school education So I can't get a job Hey, must you sing that? The words written by the girl from Osaka Are sharp but shaky Even though I told everyone flippantly That I had mistakenly burned it I couldn't do that, and instead sent it So I sent you the ticket to Tokyo With the printing smudged by my tears Fight! Sing your fight song Those who do not fight may laugh Fight! Swim trembling against the current Through the cold water TRANSFER OF RESIDENCE BIEI TOWN Excuse me. No one is living at this address. Did anyone come for the paperwork? Um… Is something the matter? I got a letter about my mother's welfare. I haven't seen her in years. I see. -Let me check up on that. -Sure. Ren, just forget it. Maybe the neighbors will know. Hey! Do the dishes before you go out and play. Maybe she knows. Let's go. Being here ings back too many memories. When I was small, I'd come watch the clouds here. I never knew when I'd be beaten. My mother is the one to blame for not stopping her boyfriend from beating her own daughter. Just once is enough. I want her to apologize for it. That's why I came back. It's not because I missed her. Don't you have relatives? I have an uncle in Hakodate. Hey, you've done enough. Don't you have work? Remember when we met in Sapporo? It was freezing. Your hands. It hurt. The way you held my hands. I actually visited your apartment in Sapporo after that. You had already moved. After that, he started to beat my mother too. So we ran to Tokyo. But my mom couldn't live without a man. She found a new man and stopped coming home. I wanted to finish high school and go to university. I had to lie about my age to work anywhere. So I became a hostess. You were a hostess? Right now, I live in Okinawa. With a man. The one that picked you up? I've drifted so far. It's been a hectic nine years, huh. And look at me. They tore us apart that day, and I was powerless. I've always felt powerless somewhere in my heart. I never left Hokkaido. I haven't taken so much as a step. Answer it. It's someone I met at the factory. We're moving in together. It was her liver. She showed up last month. By that time, her body was already a wreck. I hadn't seen her in a decade, but she was still my little sister. Do you want her bones? Are you okay? Hey, Ren. Do you remember what you said to me on the day we met? You said, Are you okay? You saw the bandage on my arm. You were the one who was hurt, but you asked if I was okay. I was my happiest when I was with you. It was the first time in my life that I was glad I was born. I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect you. I let go of your hand. I'm so sorry. Why are you apologizing? She's gone now. I wish she had apologized to me, even just once. But to be honest… I wanted her to hug me, even just once. This is where the ferry to Aomori was supposed to depart from. Did you really have an uncle in Aomori? Of course! Not. There wasn't? Thanks. Sonoda, I… I'm going to live my life in that small town. A simple, ordinary life. Then, I'll travel around the world instead. You'll manage, won't you? You always have. Goodbye, Ren. This is a final boarding call for Flight 582, bound for Haneda, departing at 19:35. The flight will leave from Gate 5. The doors will close in five minutes. Please proceed to Gate 5 immediately. Goodbye, Aoi. Aoi. You don't need me anymore. I must move on. You don't belong here either. Why is it about money until the end? HEISEI 23 (2011) CHANGI AIRPORT, SINGAPORE Aoi! I can't believe you came. Me neither. Hi. He's Saejima, our driver. He does the admin as well. Welcome to Singapore. Thank you. Let's go. Reiko couldn't speak a word when she came. I told you they'd hire you right away. They think the Japanese are good with their hands. Though, very few stick around. Why? They think it's cool to work overseas and get crushed by reality. How about you? Me? I followed my crush here. But was dumped right away. Totally crushed by reality. Do you have a boyfriend? You're hitting on her? It gets lonely being alone overseas. Not interested. -Dumped again! -That's not true. You dumped him, right? What's up? I'm practicing. I'm going to travel around the world. I made a promise to someone. Can we enter competitions like these too? What? The World Cheese Competition? Are you trying to take on the world? Maybe. No way. Forget it. I'm going to do it. You think he means that? Reiko! What happened? The customer was not happy, and we fought. Idiot. Wait a minute! Aoi, let it go. Let's go home. I only came here to run away from stuff back home. I'll go home to Japan. Japanese nail technicians are in high demand. We can dispatch technicians. If all goes well, we can recruit technicians from Japan. It's easy to register a company and open a bank account. It's easy to start a business in Singapore. It won't work. I should just go home now. You can't. If you run home just because someone bullies you, you'll have nightmares about it for a really long time. I'll protect you, Reiko. Aoi… Hey. Saejima will be my sidekick. What's this about? We're going to make money to start our own business. Switch with me. No whining. But this is so heavy. You're pulling too hard. No, I'm not. The Merlion has been venerated as the guardian of prosperity. This way, please. I will be right there. -How's it hanging? -We're so busy. Me too. The lettuce is destroying my nails. -You know what? -What? I don't want to be protected. I want to protect people. Huh? Become someone that'll never let go of the hand I hold. We're going to go as far as we can together! It's done. Right, boss? Don't call me that. It's just on paper. We are equal partners. -Boss! -Like I said… Look! What the…? No… FOUNDING DAY, MARCH 11TH This is footage of the Sanriku Coast in Iwate Prefecture. What looks like a vortex can be seen in the distance. Tsunamis larger than ten meters are expected. The tsunami has just reached the houses. It is extremely dangerous. Those living in these areas, please evacuate immediately. The coast and riversides are dangerous… Kaori! If you are unable to evacuate, try to find a concrete building and stay on the third floor or above. Kaori? Ren? What's wrong? Are you okay? Yeah. The baby is okay. We're reporting to you live from the Sanriku Coast. This can't be happening! More tsunamis may form… Hokkaido is experiencing Seismic Intensity Two earthquakes… NAOKI TAKEHARA Hey, dude. Is everything okay over there? She's alive. Huh? Who? Riko, duh. She was visiting her parents. In Iwate. In Iwate? I got hold of her. Good. Despite that enormous tsunami, she survived. I'm so relieved. I'm so glad. This afternoon, an enormous magnitude-8.8 earthquake struck Japan. Tsunamis over eight meters high have hit eastern Miyagi Prefecture. This… is a small story that happened in a small town. Compared to Takehara and the people in the Tohoku region, what's happening to me is nothing. During the checkup today… they found it. A tumor. -Honey? -Yeah? Honey? It's Kaori. I'm having the baby. But… You should put your health first. That kind of thinking is so outdated. Cancer is curable these days. I won't die. No. I can't allow it. Do the operation now. I looked for the best doctor, and he said it was okay. I'll do chemo, then have a C-section to have the baby. Then, they will remove the tumor. Don't be so worried. I'm going to get through this. This is not something to take lightly. This is your life. Me too. I think you should do as your father says. I've already decided. I'm going to survive this. Hey, Ren! Hi! -Congratulations. -Thank you. She's tiny. How adorable. -This is Yui. -Yui? Oh, you made her cry! She's crying! Watch out! -She is not scared at all. -You did well. Let's go back in. Gulp, gulp. -Good girl. -I'll eat too. Is she eating it? -Very nice. -My turn. Yui! HEISEI 26 (2014) Mommy, look. Oh, but I just bought you clothes. Very cute. This one's too big. Come. What's with the tears, Ren Takahashi? Daddy? Yui. Give Daddy a hug. If someone is crying, give them a hug. Right, who's hungry? What would you like? Sorry. WORLD CHEESE COMPETITION 2014 YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CHOSEN Ren. Take the day off. I'm sorry. Kaori? Oh? I thought you were at work today. I knew we'd get caught. I asked him to come. I mean, ten years. We'd been dating since junior high. I wanted to see all the people I met in my life. You'll have plenty of time to see them. You know what? Maybe I loved him more than you. Oh yeah? I wanted to be a flight attendant. I was even studying for it at school. I never wanted to work at a potato farm. But it was by chance… purely by chance… There was a poster looking for staff at the cheese factory. I happened to notice it. The cheese was so good too. If I had become a flight attendant, I wouldn't have met you. You can tell me more about that stuff after you leave the hospital. You know how we say the thread of destiny? I believe it exists. But that thread… sometimes… gets tangled. Sometimes, it even snaps. But it will connect to something once more. If you stay alive, it will always lead to something new. I think that's how the world works. Don't you? Please take care of Yui. Okay? That's enough. -But I… -I don't want to hear it! Just hear me out. I don't care what people say. I have no regrets. I was so happy. Go. You don't need to be here. Why do you even have that? Go now, Ren. IN LOVING MEMORY OF KAORI TAKAHASHI Daddy? Hurts. Sorry. Kaori, you fought well. Kaori. Yui. Life isn't about moving up in the world. Just be someone that gives a hug if anyone is crying or feeling sad. Okay. Yay! YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CHOSEN -And Saejima? -Yes, ma'am? Too sour. Nothing special. -Yummy. -Yeah? Is your finger okay? I'm okay. / You are? Good. You like this? This? You're right, it's good. HEISEI 30 (2018) She's acting like a boss. Did I hear the words domestic demand? The customers at the hostess club used to go on about that. The two of us, together. The bank keeps calling us. It's Reiko. Follow me. She used the company money on real estate and was a victim of fraud. She even went behind our backs and borrowed money from the bank. They want it back by tomorrow. Reiko! Let me go! I want to go as far as I can. Alone. I'm sorry. I can't believe that people betray others like this. Do you have money to pay the bank? I really didn't want to use this money. But this money is all I can rely on in the end. Saejima. Thanks for everything. One pork cutlet rice bowl. Yes, ma'am. We know absolutely nothing About why we meet someone We never know When we will meet someone Where were you? Where did you come from? -Two stories -Your pork cutlet rice bowl. Beneath the faraway skies You are the vertical thread Thanks for the meal. And I am the horizontal one The cloth we weave might someday Keep someone warm Yuck. Why do we live? The frays after days of ambivalence Running, chasing after a dream I'll be fine. The frays after days of falling down I'll be fine. What will this thread become? Insecure, shaking in the wind You are the vertical thread… Thanks, Ren. I love this cheese. Good. But you don't have to do this. It's been four years now. You're young. You need to move on. Oh, please. Stop it. Kaori was my life. I'll live the rest of my life with Kaori's memories in my heart. Yum. But you can't do that. You can't waste your life drinking in oad daylight. Easy now. I feel the same way too. Go. You don't need to be here. Go. Go now. Hokkaido is the best. You should move and live here. You'll have Ren. We should move out here and run a farm. That's hilarious. Takehara working on a farm? So funny. Whoa. -I need to go pee. -Wipe this up! There you have it. She keeps talking nonstop if you let her be. The next day, she won't say anything, no matter what you ask her. She saw too much during the earthquake. Kids screaming for help while sinking into the water. It's been seven years. Seven damn years. But you're both alive. Sorry. My bad. It's not just us, I know. Those were the days. Riding our bikes to the Biei fireworks. We didn't have a worry in the world. What's your problem, you up there! I've had enough. It's not like I'm asking for much. All I want is to live an ordinary life. Right! I wanted to become a singer, remember? Hey, must you sing that? I only have a junior high school education -I'm sorry. I got carried away. -So I can't get a job -The words written by the girl from Osaka -I'm sorry. Are sharp but shaky Called a punk and slapped in the face The kid's eyes grow older Fists are clenched in frustration So hard the nails stab the palms Actually I saw it with my own eyes On the stairs in the train station The boy who rumbled down And the smirk on the face Of the woman who pushed him I was shocked Neither tried to help nor scream I just got scared and ran away My enemy is myself Fight!

Sing your fight song Those who do not fight may laugh Fight! Swim trembling against the current Through the cold water HEISEI 31 (2019) -Was it a tough week? -I guess. -Thank you. -Thank you. Ms. Sonoda? Yes? Can you go buy lunch for me? Of course, boss. I want fried chicken. Ask the other girls too. Here you are. I came to fetch you. I started a beauty salon company in Singapore. You're so tough. Of course I am. I've worked hard this past year, all so I can work with you once more. Sorry, I don't have much time. I'll be waiting in Singapore. Saejima… People come into your life when you really need them. That's why I met you. Thanks, Saejima. I'll think about it, I mean it. SPRING MENU RELEASE PARTY -This way, please. -May I take your jacket? It was something I wrote off as a failure. I was unhappy with everything I made. I was frustrated and just mixed everything together. Then my daughter said it was yummy. I ushed it up and sold it at our store, and it sold better than the others. Then, this restaurant decided to use that cheese on its menu. So, yeah. They have three Michelin stars, you know! Their world-famous chef loves your cheese. You should be thrilled. I screw up, and the world likes that better. That's so typical of me. ROUTE SEARCH PROVIDING WARM MEALS… PROVIDING WARM MEALS TO CHILDREN WHO NEED THEM CHILDREN'S CAFETERIA Today is the last day of the 31-year-long Heisei period. Let's ask for people's thoughts. How was the Heisei period for you? Uh… Well… It was peaceful, so that's good. But the economy sucked. Our generation didn't benefit from the bubble economy. I don't understand why we have these different periods. It was a period of challenge. Terrorism. Natural disasters. Social polarization. Poverty. I was born in the first year of Heisei. Right? How was the Heisei period for me? That's a vague question that's difficult to answer. But I… we are now 30 years old. Hey, Ren! Ren! Hi. Here we go. Hey! Where are your manners? Thanks for the meal! Run along now. Come on, boys. I don't know. One thing led to another and here we are. I'm not doing it for someone else. I'm being a hypocrite. Was it tough these past 20 years? It sure was. How did this begin? The beginning? A girl living nearby used to look through that window. So I gestured for her to come in, and she did. I gave her something warm to eat. Then her face lit up. That smile left a strong impression on me. I wonder what she's up to now. I wish I could see her again. Thanks for the meal. CHILDREN'S CAFETERIA -Thanks for the meal. -Enjoy! I wonder why. The food here is the best. I feel like I'm home. I thought I didn't have anywhere to come home to. This is your home. If someone is crying, give them a hug. My mommy taught me that. What a wonderful mom you have. You should let the kids do their dishes. -I want to help. -Aww. No. You can't take all the cheese for yourself. -You have to share. -Okay. Cheese? She came here to deliver some cheese. -Thanks. -Thank you. Daddy! Why are you here? -Bye, Ms. Murata! See you! -Thanks, dear. Bye! -Bye-bye! -Yui! -Are you okay? -Yep. I thought you came home tomorrow. I couldn't wait to see you, so I came home early. Her mother passed away. Poor child. It's the last day of Heisei, after all. -Did they like the cheese? -They did! That's good. -Hurry. They're waiting. -Oops. Sorry. Cheers. Congratulations. This is incredible. Way to go, Ren! Thank you so much. But I haven't given up yet. I'm going to try to win first prize at the World Cheese Competition. It connects me with the world while being here in Biei. Sure. -That's it? -I really mean it! Yeah, yeah. There's none left? What's wrong, Yui? You know what? A lady was crying earlier, so I gave her a hug. You did? She said that I have a wonderful mommy. She thinks my mommy is cool. Ms. Murata said, This is your home, to that lady. -What's up? -Take care of Yui for me! Where are you going? You're right. What got into me? Gotcha! -She's gone. -Where'd she go? To ride the ferry from Hakodate. Thank you! She's… She's a tough girl! -Thank you. -Thank you. HEISEI COUNTDOWN EVENT FIRST REIWA CRUISE Thank you for coming to our Hakodate countdown event. It seems people have gathered in locations all over Japan. People await this historic moment in their own locations. The Heisei period is coming to an end! There are only ten minutes left. Please board. Excuse me. Excuse me. Aoi! We know absolutely nothing About why we meet someone We never know When we will meet someone Where were you? Where did you come from?

Aoi! Aoi! Are you okay? YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CHEESY IN LOVE LIKE FINE CHEESE, MARRIAGE GETS BETTER WITH AGE
When I was a child, I'd talk to myself non-stop. I'd sit in front of my parents' wardrobe mirror and tell myself stories. I didn't even realize that my reflection never replied. To me it was another person, with a life as real as my own. Then there was school. I had to speak to others, a bit, but it wasn't like with the mirror. Then there was Pierre. Him, I wanted to talk to. I wanted to hear him. I needed that exchange. So when he left after his father was transferred, there was nothing, no talks, no reflections. There were only books and authors, and characters in films. Because real people are so disappointing, don't you think? So what are we? Fake people? We're different, Didier. - What do you mean? - We're different. You're my neighbors. And neighbors aren't real? No! Neighbors aren't real people. What statistics include neighbors? You can't think of any. They don't fit into any category. It's not a socio-economic entity, nor a professional or ethnic group. It's nothing. Tell her we're real if you want seconds. Chloé? EVERY JACK HAS A JILL Isn't it a bit much? World stability, humanity, they'll know I didn't write it. - You've the humanity of an oyster. - Thanks. - OK, I'll re-write it. - Yeah, please. That machine... Here Chloé, you'll cover Pharmacom. Really? Your article on GBTH was great. You get your Brussels tickets, OK? Chloé can't handle that. What was that? She's not much of a traveler. - Why? Is she scared of planes? - No. She's a bit weak in some areas. Airplanes, phoning, love. Not good at love? Utterly useless. That's sad. A little. You do know I'm here, right? You're pathetic! I've never had such a pathetic husband! You've never been married before! If I've only had you, it's because you've turned me off having others! Even at the start of our relationship. What are you talking about? Coming! Sorry, I can't read your writing. What's this? Small red suitcase. - You should've kept it with you. - I know. I'm afraid the rack will open and it'll fall and knock me out. That scares you? It is dangerous after all. There you go. Food trays scare me. Them knocking you out? No, them poisoning me. I'm scared of ATMs too. Don't know why. Me too! That's funny. Things without people. Faxes... telephones... Phones have people. Yes, but those voices... Where do they come from? At work, my colleague Josée makes calls for me and follows leads. And in exchange, naturally, I write her articles. - Am I babbling? - Yes. Passport? Two hours to get home in the rain. Get a rain poncho. No way! Doesn't he work nights? Yes. We're still trying for a baby. He pops by when I'm ovulating. We've no time to lose, I'm 38. See you later. I'll get the... It's the leftover meat pie. And my fish? Is the fish dead? Didier says I overfed it. You killed my fish! Good news. We got your bag. I signed for it. The guy didn't want to hand it over. But I'm very convincing... What's that? - Isn't that your suitcase? - No. That's not my suitcase. I come for my fish, I get a suitcase. What's up? Fish ing the evil eye. I'm going to bed. Chloé. What? A strange suitcase is bad luck. Don't open it. I'm calling about a bag you sent that isn't mine. Hello, baggage service. Josiane speaking. Hello? Hello! Yes, Mrs. Klein, Pharmacon is quite unique, I know. But the idea of linking up in a world as competitive as pharmaceuticals, can be a pitfall. And this pitfall... I want some. It's so good. I'll do anything. Give me some. What? The baggage service? Plus, I'll finish your article. It's a deal. Pedro, which 3 videos make a woman 100 compatible? 28 Days Later, The Grudge, The Descent. - You want a psychopath. - Sure... Can't women like horror films? Total crap. What do you like, Chloé? Imagine, when I got back from Brussels my suitcase was lost. They sent another by mistake, which wasn't mine. And? I opened it. So what? Are you thick? A suitcase tells more about someone than a DVD. Nothing's better than a DVD. Were there DVDs in it? Were there? The craziest thing, my book, 100 Years of Solitude, know it? It was in his suitcase! In English. That's not chance. I'll leave you to your silly games. I've somebody's life to explore. - She's full of herself. - She sure is. Hold it. 28 Days Later, The Hills Have Eyes, Jeepers Creepers. It's pig sausage. Pig sausage? No, you're the pig. Got my article? Look... I came to write it last night, but I can't recover it now. It's blocked. It's OK, I found another solution. You'll have to as well. Find your American alone. I'll burn the Pharmacon report. You'll start over... Make calls. Ask the same questions. Scary, huh! Everyone will know Miss Chloé Mondoloni is an impostor. What the hell's going on? Why's it blocked? Is it a virus? Who's responsible? Nobody? What? - May I have more water? - Sure. Suzanne asked me to invite you to lunch for your birthday. If you'd like to, of course. I may not cele ate this year. You can ask him to come. Who? I don't know... It's just that... we don't see each other much anymore. Yes, I know. But... I'm not accusing you, Chloé. I know, it takes two. I worry that... you're a bit like me. Meaning? You know, a misanthrope, a loner. When your mother left, and I wouldn't let anyone else in. Remember the old ping-pong table? After your mother, for years I played alone, with the other end of the table raised. Of course the balls bounced back, but with no surprises. I knew exactly where the ball would land. So I looked for someone to return the ball. Sometimes they were a bit weak, or too violent. Often they were too good or not good enough. But at least, it was different each time. What I'm saying awkwardly is living alone is a bit dismal. I think we're meant to share our life. So if you've found someone, I'm happy for you. I'd even like to meet him. I was all alone too, and I lived in the same house as you. We could've played together... Ping-pong, I mean. You could've taught me. I'd have returned the ball. This looks like the place. There's no Jack Zimmerman here. I'm almost certain of it. You're really sure there's no Jack Zimmerman here? What part of certain didn't you grasp? The almost. You said almost certain, it left room for doubt. There's no doubt. I know all that goes on here. It's my hotel. Are you implying I don't know my job? Good day, Mademoiselle. What's wrong? Just go. You've still got the bag? It's just as well. What would I have said? I love your suitcase? I think you might be the one? That each day I love him more? That he had to come to my birthday party? He'd have freaked out. I'll find a way... He needs time. He needs to get to know me like I know him. The fauna is abundant. The Camargue is a magnificent game reserve. Micheline! The pig-sausage wants to talk to you. Hello? Hi Chloé, it's Pedro. You never returned the DVDs you rented, but that's not why I called. Myriam told me about the suitcase it's not as good as DVDs for learning about someone, but I admit it's not bad. So I've been thinking, and here's my idea: Put your name in the bag with your 3 favorite DVDs and return it. The message is clear. He'll know if you're compatible based on the DVD Compatibility Theory which has a 89.7 success rate. So see you around. Oh la la! Now what is it? What, oh la la? I'm sick of your oh la las! - Oh la la! Enough. - I've had it! I'm fed up! What are you doing? You know damn well. I'm suspended. - Guess you got what you wanted. - I never... I'm not so sure. It's just that, I had an emotional problem... You're not the only one. - You have problems? - Yeah. You're in your own little world. You don't give a damn about others. Is this yours? Hand it over. Permesso? Permesso? Here, Mr. Zimmerman. Thank you. So he left? Who? Your boyfriend. He left? Is it the way you like it? Yes, it's good. He went back home to America. But that was a while ago already. Describe him for us, so we get an idea. OK... He's not very tall, but he's strong. He protects me, he's gallant. For instance, when it rains he offers me his rain poncho, even if he gets soaked. We like the same things, even if we're very different. It's funny, he's really good with computers. It blows me away... That's nice. It's like he's opened my eyes to a world I'd refused see. Because with him, everything seems possible. I always feel like going out, being with him, even if I don't completely understand or know him. ME I see why you wanted to keep the other one. You owe me 237. 237 euros? That's steep! Sorry, I don't have it. I was out of it. I've no excuse, but I thought... What? That you found your soul mate? Josée? No! Yes! Don't count on me for DVDs. You're washed up here. What'll I do without films? The films in your head won't do? You could at least be grateful... Yeah, we're grateful. If you hadn't given me his number, we wouldn't have met, and fallen in love. For that, we're truly grateful, right? But otherwise, you're just too out there. She's right, Chloé. You believe in perfect love, but Hugh Grant visits prostitutes, and Harry and Sally don't hook up. In the real world, she's blind and he's a bum. There're no soul mates. Nobody's perfect. See what's happening to us. The evil eye is... Those eyes... Didier and I will be childless and divorced, you'll die of hunger when I'm forced to move to a dump. Easy to blame someone else for your own problems. I'm not blaming anyone! I said eyes, not someone. An eye isn't someone? A neighbor isn't someone? I'd like to know just who is someone to you! I don't know, why don't you ask Chloé. To her, no one is anyone and anyone's the man of her life. No one's good enough for you. Suddenly out of nowhere, this guy's the one. Why is that? Did you ever wonder why? My favorite book Read it 37 times My hidden talents My superstitious neighbor My boring boss What I do best Meet me on the 13th... Will you be the shoe at my foot? Wasn't it a huge scam organized by pharmaceutical firms like yours to cover up the sale of expired drugs to Africa? Mr. Peretz, I promise you'll remain anonymous. The subject's hot. It could blow at any moment. I sent it to print. Nice work, Chloé! Thanks. Josée told me about your love life. My love life? Yeah... or rather the lack of one. Which is, of course, much worse. I wanted to say it doesn't bother me. Actually, I mean it suits me. It's just that, I was wondering if... You'd have dinner with me sometime? I'm back! It's a bit blurry. Are you here for the ad? Yes, for the ad. Fine, I'll just get the paddles. You're not here for the ad. It's too much. Yeah, it's too much. What pretty flowers! What a jerk! - Pardon? - Nothing... Out or I'll call the cops. You know my name? May I... May I take a peek? Why does he have a photo of my wife? How many times must I say, Chloé gave it to him. Yeah, OK. - What? - You know. No, I don't. You've made it clear I'm clueless. I don't like you not trusting me! I've put up with you 18 years, so I think by now, you should realize... Realize? Now I have to realize? Yes, realize. Understand. Use your ain. Then you'd understand there's only ever been you. You see, she's completely... What gets me is that she's really... beautiful. Thanks, my love. So I did an internship there, and I just stayed on. I slowly climbed the ladder, and here I am. In the end, I'm glad. Because I didn't have the vocation to be a doctor. Journalism is hands-on experience. Getting your hands dirty, taking risks... At the Medical Monthly? No, white makes my head hurt. Choucroute calls for white. He's so cute. Yeah, he's really cute. He'd be perfect for Chloé. Totally perfect for Chloé. Too bad she's out with that guy. We have to do something. She can't end up with him. Enough about me, how about you? How did you end up there? My mother was... is a pharmacist. I'd go there, to her pharmacy, and I'd help her stock the drugs. I was trying to spend time with her. Later, after she left, I just went on doing it. I'd go, and learn the dosages, I liked that. The smells, the neon, all those little drawers... Perhaps I needed help, to heal my wounds. I don't know... I'm quitting. No! Because I kissed you? That's silly. And another thing. I made the system crash, not Josée. Stay a while... We're good together. I'm sorry, Jérôme. Listen, Chloé... I don't want to lose you. You never had me. I'm pregnant. Really? Congratulations! Triplets! Three. Three? It was a bit of a shock, but now, we're really happy. So you'll be moving? You're leaving? Five would be a bit cramped here. There'll always be a little place for you, however small. What about the American? You were right. I dreamed of someone who wasn't real. I decided to let him leave. I let him go back home. But now, I feel ready. All that's over and done with. I'm ready for an ordinary relationship with a normal man... I'm ready to live with someone, ready for the arguments, the problems... I'm just ready. I'm ready. - Didn't you like him? - I did. But... What? Yes? No, nothing. Nothing... Adaptation by Pamela Grant Vdm
When I was little, I was constantly talking to myself. I went into my parents' room, I stood before the mirror and told stories. I did not notice I that the reflection is not responding. For me it was a real person, with normal life, like mine. Then I went to school I had to talk to others but it was like with reflection. Then I met Pierre. With him I felt like talking, felt like listening to him. I needed the exchange. Then when he left, because his father was transferred from Paris There was nothing no mutual exchange, no reflections, just books, characters in films. Unlike them, real people always disappoint. And what are we? Unreal people? But, Didier, it's not the same. - How is it not the same? - Well, no! - No, you're neighbors. - And the neighbors are not real people? Actually, no, they're not real people. Tell me who takes them into account. Well, you see, you do not know! Neighbors are not a category. Not a social group. It's not an occupation nor an ethnicity. Nothing. Chloe, say neighbors are something otherwise you make us cease to live. Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Global stability, humanity, they will know that it's not mine! - Yeah! You're oyster humanity. - Oh, great! - Do not worry, I'll rewrite it. - But be quick! It fascinates me, too. - Chloe, Pharmacom Can you do you! - Really? - Really? - Yeah. - Your article was really... Arrange everything necessary for a trip to Brussels. This is interesting, Chloe. - Pardon? - Not much of a traveler... Afraid of planes? No! Just not gifted at certain things... Airplanes, telephones, love. Lacking talent in love? I probably do not know anyone so incompetent. This is sad. - A little. - Do you know I'm still here? - You are annoying! - Stop! I have never had such an annoying husband! You've never had another? This is because I'm so disgusted by my experience with you that I never wanted another one! - Yeah, right! - Even when we met! - What are you talking about? Even then... - Yes, even back then! Coming! Sorry, I can not read your writing. What does it say? Little red suitcase. Couldn't you take it as hand luggage? I'm afraid that if the drawer opened above the case would fall on my head. Is this fear? It's dangerous. Here you are. I'm scared of food trays. That they will fall on you? No. That I'll be poisoned. Trays from the vending machines for drinks here. But I do not know why. Well, me too! This is special! I'm afraid of everything that isn't human... fax, phone! But there is someone on the other side... Yeah, but only voices. You do not know where they are. At work my friend Josee handles all the calls and also my polls. I write her articles in return. So we help each other. - Too much talking? - Yes. Your passport? It's raining. The journey took two hours. - Why didn't you buy a raincoat? - No, no raincoats! - Doesn't Didier have a night shift? - No. We keep trying for a child. This is a good period. That's why he's here. Can not miss it. I'm 38. - See you soon. - Bye! I'll get it. Some meatloaf leftovers. And my fish? My fish is dead? Didier says I overfed it. You killed her? The good news is that they ought your suitcase. And I took it. The messenger didn't want to give it to me, but I was convincing. Very convincing, you know. - What is it? - Probably your suitcase. No, this is not my suitcase. I come for my fish and find a suitcase. What does it mean? Fish is a bad sign. Well, I'm going to bed. Hey, Chloe! - What? - It is suspicious to open strange suitcases at home. Do not open it. Hello, I'm calling you because of luggage confusion. Complaints department, how can I help you? Hello! Yes, Mrs. Klein! Pharmacom is unique, I know it well. But will join in such a competitive environment, such as pharmaceuticals. There can be problems. And that betrayal is absolutely... I'll do it! Really? As always. I do all you want! What? Complaint Department? But you'll write this article. Deal. And you, Pedro? 3 DVDs which your dream woman would like? - 28 Days Later! Grudge! Cube! - Psycho looking for a psycho. Why wouldn't a girl like horror movies? - Will you ever be normal? Freak! - What about you, Chloe? What do you like? Imagine that when I was coming from Brussels, my suitcase got lost. Well, they ought me another one instead. - That wasn't even mine. - So what? - I opened it! - Yeah. - Well, yeah. - What's that got to do with it? - Are you stupid? The inside of a suitcase is like a DVD. It tells you about a person. There is nothing better than DVD. Were in that any, at least? So were there any? It's crazy! I love this book One Hundred Years of Solitude, you know? It was in his suitcase! In English. This can not be a coincidence. Well, I'll leave you to consider. - I'm going to explore one's life. Bye. - Bye. - You're going after her. - I do not care. - Wait! 28 Days Later, Friday the Thirteenth, Jeepers Creepers. Le boudin (pudding). No, your pudding. - Got my article? - Listen. I started writing it last night and I can not get into it now. It's blocked. Nevermind, I arranged it differently! Well, you get it too can you do otherwise. Find this American on your own. and report on Pharmacom burn. You have to start from scratch again, ring those people around, ask them questions. Scary, isn't it? Everyone will know that Chloe Mondoloni cheater. Damn! What is this crap? Why is it blocked? This is a virus or what? Who would do this? No one? What? - Can I have another glass of water? - Yes. Of course. Suzanne wanted me to tell you that she would be glad if you came home for lunch on your birthday. Well, if you want to, of course. No. I don't know if I want to cele ate it this year. You can invite someone. - Who? - Well, I don't know... It's just... I have a feeling we're not seeing each other much. Yes, that is right, now... I do not blame you, Chloe. We're both responsible. But I'm concerned that you're a little like me. - What do you mean? - You know. A misanthrope, recluse. Like when your mother left and I do not want to let anyone near. Remember the old tables for table tennis? After your mother left, for years I have played alone so the other side of the raised. Of course, balls would come back, but the returns were no surprise, I always knew precisely where the ball goes again. So I started looking for someone who would hit to the ball back. Sometimes it was a bit soft, or too violent, sometimes the other played too poorly or too well but actually, every time it was different. I'm just trying to say here, it is a bit grim, to lead a lonely life. A human is created, to share life with somebody. If you found someone I'm happy for you and I would be pleased to meet him. Well. I was abandoned, too. I lived in the same house that you did. We could play together. You could teach me how to play table tennis. I can return the balls. It seems that it is here. There is no Jack Zimmerman living here. I'm almost absolutely sure. Are you really sure that there is no Jack Zimmerman here? And what part of absolutely sure do you not understand, young lady? This almost. You said almost absolutely sure. - And that leaves room for doubt. - There is no doubt. I know about everything, it is my job. Are you perhaps suggesting that I'm not doing my job right? No? What is it? Not here? Just what would I say? That I like his suitcase? And I know that he is the man of my life? That it seems more like it more and more every day? And that he definitely has to come to my birthday? This would seem insane. I'll have to find a way to meet him. He must get to know me, like I know him. Very rich fauna. La Camargue is a magnificent reservation. Sausage would you like to say something. Hello? Yeah, Chloe, here's Pedro, above all, return the DVD but that's not why I'm calling. Myriam told me about this suitcase, and so, even if it is less good than DVD when you want to get know someone I admit that it is wrong, but I have an idea in case you're be interested. Put your name and address in the suitcase with three DVDs that you like the most, and turn in it. This is a clear message! Whoever gets the suitcase, will know if you are compatible according to the theory of compatible DVDs at 89.70. That's all! Bye! - This is good. - That's it! I got tired of your Olala! What are you doing? You know perfectly well what I'm doing. I'm fired. You took care of it? - No, I had nothing to do with it. - Well, it does not look so. But no, it's just that... I had an emotional problem. You're not the only one who has problems, Chloe. - You too? - Yes. You're completely alone in your little world, and you do not see anything else. - This DVD is yours? - Give it to me! Here you go, Mr. Zimmerman! So he already left? Who? Your friend. He's gone? That's how you like it? Yes, yes, looks good. Yes. He returned home to America. But it's been long enough. Describe him to us! So we could imagine him, please. He's not too high, but strong. Protects me. Gallant. For example, when it rains, he unhesitatingly gives me his poncho and he himself gets wet. We like the same things, even though we're pretty different. For example, he is very good at computers. It's hard to believe how good he is. This is great! It's as if I opened my eyes to the world that I have refused so far. With him it seems to me that everything is possible. With him, I want to go out want to follow him. It's so beautiful. This one is prettier than that other one. I understand that you prefer this one. You pay €237. €237. That's a lot! I'm sorry. I do not have them. I was out. I know it's not fair. But I was so convinced that... What? You found a man of your life? - Josee, what are you doing here? - Working? Do not think you will ever borrow DVDs. Here you are finished. What will I do without movies? These films running in your head are no longer enough? You could at least acknowledge that... Yes. For that I thank you. If you did not give me his number, our paths would not have crossed and probably would not have fallen in love. And so we owe you. But you expect too much. This will not fit. Understand this, she's right. You believe in perfect love. But Hugh Grant goes for the whores. Harry and Sally also don't end up together. In fact, she is still blind and he's a male loser. No one is perfect for one another. No one is perfect. Do you know what is happening to us? Everything falls on us, it's literally a curse! We will never have children, we'll divorce and you'll die of hunger, when I'll be living in the poor neighborhood. It is easy to blame the other, when you fail. We're not blaming anyone. Curse is no one that I know of. Curse is no one? Neighbor is no one too? I'd like to know, who has a chance to be with you, no one? I do not know. Ask Chloe. For her, nothing is anyone and anyone is the man of her life! Why do you have no sympathy for anyone? And the one who came out of nowhere is all good? But why is this so? Did you not ask yourself this question? MY HIDDEN TALENT MYRIAM, MY NEIGHBOR MY BOSS MY FORTE 13th MEETING 9th EMANUEL ON THE SQUARE NO 2, Cha ier 350/7, PARIS. CODE 25A53, 2 FLOOR RIGHT. SELF. WANT TO BE THE SHOE ON MY FOOT? Moment. It's a scam organized by pharmaceutical companies, one of which is the one that employs you, to conceal the sale of drugs with long expiration dates in some African countries. Mr. Peretz, I promise you that your name appears here. This is the bomb! And it can explode in their hands. I sent it to the printer. Well, Chloe. This is very good work. Thanks. Josee, told me the other day about your emotional problems. About what emotional problems? It's more about the fact that you do not have any problems. Which is probably worse. I want you to know that I do not mind that you do not have a love life. If this is what is happening to you, I'm fine with this. I was just wondering if you would like to have a dinner with me. I'm back! It's out of focus. You're not here about the ad. Is that a bit much? Yeah, it's too much. Thanks. These are pretty flowers! Who is this idiot? - Excuse me? - No, no, I thought. Whatever, let's go! Get out or I call the police. How do you know my name? Can I take a look? Why he have the picture of my wife? How many times do I have to explain - Chloe gave it to him. - Yes, of course. - What? - You know very well. Well, I do not. You didn't tell me everything. I do not know that much! I do not like when you don't trust me. 18 years I've been tolerating your presence. If only you would be able to understand... Now I understand? Yes, I understand. Understand. Use your eyes. And understand, there was never in my life anyone else but you! She is completely... Do you...? But what kills me is that it is so beautiful! Thanks, love! I was there during the holiday internship and I stayed. And I climbed the ladder, gradually. Finally, I'm satisfied. I don't feel the desire to become a doctor. Journalism is the field work, you need to get your hands dirty, take a risk. In the magazine about drugs? No, I don't drink white, my head hurts after that! But no. With sauerkraut you drink white whine. - It's very nice. - Yeah, it's really nice. He would be so perfect for Chloe. He would be so perfect for Chloe. This is a pity that they went out with others. We have to do something. She can't be with that other guy. Enough about me. What about you? How did you end up in the paper? My mother was a pharmacist, still is a pharmacist. So I used to go to her drugstore and help with medication. I wanted to spend time with her. And later, when she left, I continued the work. I went there, I learned the dosage by heart. It was comforting. Smells, neon, small drawers. Maybe I wanted to help heal the wounds. I'm not sure. I quit. Because I kissed you? This is absurd! I'm the... I blocked the entire computer system. I did it, not Josee. No, stay, stay a while. We are good here. I'm sorry, Jerome. Hey, Chloe, I... I do not want to lose you. I've never been there. I'm pregnant. Really? Congratulations! Triplets. Three. Three? Three, it was a bit of a shock. But now we're happy. Will you be moving? You will live elsewhere. Well, for five people it is probably a little small. But we will always find some space for you. What about you and the American? You were right... I dreamed about someone who does not exist. I decided to let him go. I let him go. But now, I feel ready. When it's over I'm ready to experience a banal story with a normal man. I am ready to live in Pairs, with all the quarrels, transitional difficulties... Ready. I am ready. - Did you not like him? - I liked him, but...
WILD MEN Hi. Hi. I'm afraid I forgot my wallet. - Do you understand me? - Yes. I'm afraid I forgot my wallet. So we need to figure something out. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Do you need to call someone? No, I just need my groceries. And a pack of cigarettes. Well, then you sort of need money. I have money. We just need to make a deal. When I find my wallet, I'll be back. We don't make deals. Let's find a solution. No, and we don't sell beer after 8 PM either. And you need ID to buy cigarettes. What's the age requirement? 18. Do I look like a 17-year-old? - No. - Do I look like an adult? Yes. - Do I look like I had a normal day? - No. I crawled down a damn mountain to get here! So can we make a deal? Well, we still need payment. Of course. That's why I'm suggesting a trade. I get my groceries and three packs of cigarettes. You get an axe. Or better yet: I get my groceries, cigarettes and a bottle of booze, and you get a deerskin and an axe. I don't know... We don't even sell liquor here. He needs to pay. You can pay or leave! That's what I'm saying! I have a wallet, but I can't find it. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Norwegian cash. I know how shopping works! I'll be back with a credit card. Put down the axe. Just calm down! - What the hell are you doing? - We don't accept furs. Take care. When are we there? 45 minutes. - What are you doing? - Checking if you can spell. I've been there a million times. Guddalen. G-U-D-D-A-L-E-N. Why are you acting stupid? He's afraid of sailing. - I'm not afraid. - Then what's your problem? I just find it strange. What? Three bums on a ferry is gonna seem suspicious. That's why I usually go alone. Let me smoke. Simon... Simon! Bashir? Bashir. Bashir! Bashir. Bashir! Hey! Excuse me. I'm sorry for poking you like that. Can you hear me? - Did you hurt your head? - No, I didn't. Hey, hey! Don't touch me. Just... Are you Danish? Yes. You are too? Your dialect did sound weird. Martin. Musa. I have a cell phone back at my place. Maybe we should call a doctor? No, I'll be all right. Are you sure? Should I stitch you up? - You can do that? - I have a first aid kit at my camp. I could take a look at it. Is that bag all you got? - Should I carry it? - No, no. I got it. - You all right? - Yes. Lose the pants. Let's get it over with. Can you fix it? Sure, I can. But you must lie perfectly still. All right? That's a bit more serious than I expected. But let's get to it now, okay? - Lie still. - Okay. Yeah... Hey, hey. Look at me! Lie perfectly still, or you'll get a nasty scar. All right? Good. Wait, wait...! That was the first one. Lie still. Then do it properly. Okay. We'll do the Band-Aid trick. Remember when you were a kid and had a Band-Aid on? Did you take it off quickly or slowly? Quickly. Exactly. I'm gonna stitch you super-fast. I'll be done in no time. It looks disgusting. Look at the sky instead. You're doing very well. Try to focus on something else. - What did you have for eakfast? - Nothing. What eakfast do you like? Ful and tameya. Ful and tameya. It's beans. I never heard of that. Do you boil or fry them? You boil them with cumin and olive oil. - How about falafel, you like that? - Tameya is falafel. Okay. What about tzatziki? Or aubergine mash? - Baba ganoush? - Yes, baba ganoush. And lots of chili? Do you like chili? This is a tough one. I need you to think of chili! Focus on that chili! Yeah... Okay. There we go. Let's hope it doesn't get infected. Look at your fingers, man. They're nasty. Let's wrap it up. Yeah. I'm sure it'll heal up nicely. All right? There. Nice. Do you hike a lot? What do you mean? Is this your first big hike? Sure... It's my first one. I like walking too. It's good for thinking. Have you lived here a long time? I've lived here for... I can't recall. A year? No, more like ten days. I see. But why? I'd just grown tired of everything. Then I thought: I need an adventure. So I came up here. Away from it all. What's up with the clothes? It's part of the adventure. Actually, I don't think it's all that different from when you go hiking. It's all about emptying your head, and calming your mind: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where does the forest end? Why is the world such a terrible and crazy place. Right? I've tried road cycling, running clubs, half-marathons, even half an ironman, but I didn't feel anything. Out here, I can feel it. I've been so sad. But I'm doing something about it. I came out here. Right? Øyvind. Petter. I'd like a French hotdog. We have two for the price of one. Great. Then I'll have two. Right. Tell me your story. You were attacked by a Viking? He was Danish. Dressed in fur. About my height. What kind of sausage do you want? - What kind do you have? - Grilled and chili cheese sausage. Chili cheese sausages? It's just a sausage stuffed with cheese and chili. They can do that? I'll have two. Continue. Well, he was Danish. Brown hair, beard... He looked like a... What's the word? A wildman. - A wildman? - A homeless wildman. 40 to 45 years old. Hard to tell. He was so dirty. Do you want dressing? No thanks. Danish? What business does a Danish Viking have here? Look at these photos. Do you recognize any of those guys as your Viking? No. None of them is a Viking. Well, you're not wrong on that one. Thank you. There you are. It's filled with cheese. Yes. It's like an explosion in my mouth. Brilliant. Holy crap. We should call for one of those sniffer dogs. A search dog? I don't know if it's working today. What else would it be doing? No idea. It is a dog... Dog stuff, I guess. Move. Christ. Look at this. You see that? It's blood. Yes, I can see that too. You are going on a picnic. I can't. What do you mean? I can't. I have to pick up the kids, and my wife is making a roast. Can't it wait til tomorrow? No, you must do it now. All right, Eigil? Put on your rubber boots and find them. What about guns? Of course! Get your guns. - Right now. - Yes. - Now. - Yes. - Now, Eigil. - Yes. How long will you stay out here? I'm not going home again. Never? Why should I? There must be someone you miss? Out here, I feel better every day. What about when it gets cold? I'm just happy that I don't need to work for some ungrateful idiot anymore. I never need to open a mailbox or a PC. What's wrong with mailboxes? - What? - What's wrong with mailboxes? The mailbox is not the problem. I don't mind mailboxes. It's more what they represent: That there's a mailman who knows where you live. No one should know that. Especially not a mailman. Try this. - Looks good. - Yes. I chose the right type of wood. I considered birch, but that has a tendency to bend. Elm is a lot better. I'm pretty sure it's elm. Actually, a lot of people have started doing this. Living without electricity, toilet, mailbox and so on. I'm headed for a place where everyone does it. Guddalen. You know it? Guddalen? No. It's a village for people like you. They wear fur, and live off the land with bows and arrows and stuff. You know, that authentic lifestyle. I'm serious. It's an entire village living like that. Hello? Hi, honey. I'm in a meeting right now. We have to talk. - Yes. One moment. Well, I don't know, honey. The reception must be lousy up here. Didn't you get my texts? I don't understand. I wrote a lot of them. - I haven't received anything. - I can't control that. It's the reception that's lousy. Anne... - What? - Are you sure? Yes, of course. Are you all right? Tell me if something's wrong. When are you coming home? I don't know. I don't decide this stuff, all right? That's how things are. No, I'm not mad. No. Yes. But you know what? I need to run now. Bye! - Take it easy. - My leg. Get off my leg! - Easy! - My leg! Let go. If you lie still, you'll be fine. Get off my leg. Let go of him! Let go of him. Lower your bow. Shut up. Get off him! - Lower your bow. - He's got nothing to do with this. He's completely innocent. Get up, Musa. Cuff them. - Please don't say my name. - Sure. You got them? All right, listen to me. I can explain this. I was hungry as hell. And then I was assaulted. He attacked me. He hit me. Musa, I'm going with you, to the town you talked about. - Okay. - I want to see it! I'll protect you. Okay, let's hit the road. We're out of here. Goodbye. Stay down. You can stop pointing at them. Come. Martin, not so fast. It hurts like hell. We should've given them water. I'm sorry that you got mixed up in this. What did you do? Don't get mad, all right? I robbed a gas station. What are you talking about? I had no choice but to do it. It's all right. No. I'll go back to the cops and give them an apology. Then we can forget this whole thing. Take a deep eath. Inhale through your nose... Exhale through your mouth. Okay? Can you feel it? Feel what? How did it feel when you held that bow? It felt... It felt all right. It was almost an out-of-body experience. I felt like puking. Violently. That's because you're alive. Because you act. You're a man! You aren't passive. You're taking charge. I don't just sit still. I'm doing something. That's what I felt. It was obvious. It looked awesome. This is my life, and I'm taking charge of it. - That thing... - Yes. Yes! That's not road cycling. Or a running club. - Are we going to Guddalen? - Yes. Why do you have to do that right up in my face? Was it a demonstration because we haven't had sex for three months? No, but there aren't many other places I can do it. What? You can do it at work. You have eight hours to jack off, but you chose to do it just when I have to ush my teeth. It's not always easy to control when the urge arises. Not easy to control? Can't we just forget it? You don't even understand what I'm saying! I need you to tell me that you don't find me disgusting. - But I don't find you disgusting. - Then why don't we have sex? I'm wondering about that as well. You're wondering about that as well? Why don't we have sex? You'd rather jack off in the bathroom than sleep with me! That's not easy to know. When I've tried approaching you, there's always something. And you are... I do get it. I never said that I didn't want to. It's you who aren't trying. Can't you relax, then? You only think about yourself and your own needs. Never me or anyone else. Bloody egotist. I think about other people. Yes, when you jack off. When's the last time you did something nice for me? I've done many things... What? You can't even remember. I'm pregnant. - Yes, I do know that. - Sure. You know what you lack? Altruism. What are you talking about? Yes, you never went to the university and don't know that word. Altruism is the opposite of egotism. I thought that was common knowledge. What are you doing? What am I doing? Altruism. - That's not what I meant. - Then what did you mean? - They are not coming with us. - They need help. Oh god, one of them is an immigrant. What did you say? Did you really say that? He looks dangerous. Are you a racist? Can you be altruistic and a racist at the same time? Don't call me a racist. Oh shit. We have to go now! I'm not a racist at all! Let go of my hand! - Hi. We're lost. - Shit. Where are you headed? Have you seen a dude with short hair and a sports bag? No. No, we haven't seen him. What? Can we make a call? Oh, the phone. I don't think so. The reception is bad out here. Can I look at it? I'm sorry. We're in a hurry... Is it working? No. There is no signal out here. We're going to a dinner, so we are in a bit of a hurry. Is the town far away? Gudendalen, I mean. Guddalen? It's not that far. About 20 km. Perhaps 10... Hey... The signal is fine. Can I have my phone back? Can we get a lift to town? We have no room. What are you doing? What a nice car. All-new. There's lots of room! Are you pregnant? When are you due? Leave the car, please. Please, leave now. Are you having a boy or a girl? Will you leave the car, please? What are you doing? No, no! Leave the car, please. Hey! Let her out, man. Let her out. Do you have a key? Come here. What the hell happened? We met the Viking. At his camp. The one from the gas station? We followed the blood trail to a guy who's collaborating with the Viking. We found the Viking's phone. His wife is on her way from Denmark now. He cuffed you? He threatened us with bow and arrow! Bow and arrow! Take me to his camp immediately! No, Øyvind. No, Øyvind? I have kids. I can't run around in the woods like that. I'm always half-something. I'm half police officer, I'm half a dad. There are other things in life than work! Oh really? You can go home. I'll go with Øyvind. Right? I'm sorry I got held up. A lot of weird stuff happened at work. It seems we have a Viking running around in the woods. You should've seen it. I wish you could've seen it. I love you. Is that a joint? Did you ing it from home? Yeah. - You want to try? - I don't see why not. Okay... That's very potent. What do you do back home? Not much right now. I'm sort of in between jobs. I need to figure out what I'm going to do. But... I got a little son. Okay. He'll be two years old the day after tomorrow. What are you doing up here then? I haven't seen him since he was born. His mother and I aren't exactly on speaking terms. I used to be a troublemaker, so she's not too fond of me. Okay. But I think you did what you could. That's all a man can do. And honestly, I think that us men... We aren't suited for living with other people. - No? - No. I think that... If you look at people who lived in 7000 BC, at that time, the woman kept people together. She guarded the family. While the men hunted. It's a reminiscence from that time, that men are just better off alone, right? And that's of course a sad thing, but honestly, I think that's how the world works. Are you high or what? Yeah, I can really feel it now. I have a buzzing feeling in my body. And I can't feel my legs anymore. And you're talking nonsense. - I am? Do I talk a lot? Nah... But what I want to say is... With your girlfriend that won't let you see your child, because you're unemployed and all that jazz, I think it's a good thing you're up here, getting some peace of mind. It's all about enjoying the silence. Lose yourself in a bonfire. Simply exist here and now. Don't worry about other people. - What food do we have? - All kinds of nice stuff. But let's eat it when we've crossed to the other side. Should we jump in? What do you mean? Check this out. We are here. You want to go all the way around? It'll take forever. Better that than drowning. We won't drown. Small kids drown. Bigger kids drown. Sometimes we lose a grown-up too. But they acted rashly. We won't. We are two strong men. Okay? But our stuff will get wet. No. It's an old Viking trick. We have a tarp. They didn't back then. Then we put all of our stuff in it. Like that. Then we lace it up. Now, it's completely water-proof. Check this out. What are you thinking? What? I told you I was hungry, and then you threw our food in the water. So I'm thinking there is something seriously wrong with you. I'm thinking: Let's go around. Yes. It can't be that far. That's the look I want. Come! POLICE Hi. Why are you out here? The Viking's wife is inside. So why are you out here? She talked about some seminar. I don't know how to talk to her. She doesn't understand me. Hi. Let me hang up my jacket. I'll be right there. Welcome. - I hope you had a nice trip. - Anne. Have you found him? No, not yet. Hi. So these are your daughters? Yes. Sally and Luna. So have you heard from him? What do you have on the floor? - Is it an animal? - He asks what animal it is. - It's a rabbit. - A rabbit. What's it called? - What's it called? - Rose. It's called Rose? Rose the rabbit. Have you heard from him? No, but we know he's in the forest. - In the forest? - Yes. But it's a rather big forest. Yes. Not just big. It's gigantic. And we have very limited manpower. Is it just the two of you? No, we're three actually. Then call somebody and get help. Anne? - Can we talk in private? - Of course. Eigil? Show the girls around, so they can see how we operate up here. There's not much more to see. Improvise. You can play cards with them. Show them the dog. I think the dog has a day off. Then call it. - Should we go to my office? - Yes, I'd like that. A rabbit? He packed his bag. We had eakfast. He said goodbye to the girls and me and then left. There's nothing... Okay. And that was two weeks ago? Yes. He was going to a teambuilding seminar. Do you have marital difficulties? No. Is he dangerous? - What do you mean? - Is he violent? No, he's not. - He never got in trouble with the law? - No! Martin is not a criminal. There's nothing mysterious about him. What's this? It's... What's he doing? Good question. What are those clothes? He also threatened two colleagues, cuffed them and stole their guns. But he... I don't know. I thought about it this morning. Either he's gone insane. That is, lost his marbles. Or he's in a gang of international drug runners. It's one or the other. Martin? Martin! - We're lost. We've been here before. - No. Yes. I recognize that rock, Martin. Hey! My leg's killing me. I'm hungry. We have no map. - We don't need one. We're going east. - Where's east? Look at the moss. Your ferry's on the other side of the mountain. Moss grows only on the north side of stones. It's nature's compass. Is that an old Viking trick? No, it's common knowledge. That one has moss on the right side. It's on the left on that one! That stone has moss all around! Is that a good compass? It's a lousy compass. But you knew the way to Guddalen. Yes, before you threw our fucking map in the water! You know what? I don't think this is easy either. I'm hungry too. It's tough as hell! But that's what it's all about... Look at the goat! Do you think we can eat it? Absolutely. Eh? Mom? - Mom? - Yes, honey? Where's Dad? We are just trying to figure that out, okay? Sally. They'll find him, all right? Mom? We need to get food for Rose. Yes, of course. Food for Rose. I'll go inside... I want to go with you. Okay. Come on then. Right. Come. - No, put the rabbit in the car. - She needs food. No, not into the store. No! Rose? It's under the car. Can you reach it? Rose, Rose! No, Sally! You'll get hit by a car. I'll get her. Mom. Mom, that way! Honey... You know what I think? I think she thought: I don't want to sit in this cage, with all that lovely nature just out there! Right? I think she'll get eaten. No! No, she won't. She's probably dead already. She needs to be with us so we can take care of her. You're right. But she doesn't know that. She's just a... stupid little bunny! Mom? Are you crying? Yes. I think it's fucking unfortunate. Didn't you sleep? It's my son's birthday today. That's right. Congratulations. - And you're going to Guddalen. - Yes, I am. - Are you ready? - Yes. You should consider opening a restaurant. That goat tasted amazing! Imagine that. Musa's Goat Restaurant! You could make goat burgers, goat lasagna... Goat pizza! Right? Oh my... What a beautiful sight. Really beautiful. Look! Do you see the little dots? - Are you sure? - Yeah, I recognize it. Good. Let's go. - What did I tell you? - Awesome. Hey! Stop. You snuck in the backdoor. We don't like people creeping up on us. It was the only... We couldn't find the front door. And you didn't eak anything open or wreck anything? - No. - Are you sure? Yes. I'll let this one slip, because your outfit is just awesome. - Thanks. - It's very impressive. Welcome to our camp. Martin. Wow! Would you look at that. I have the same one. See? Yes. That's impressive. Like I said, welcome. Everything you see is authentic. If people are cooking, it's because they're hungry. If they're working with wood, they're simply building something they need. Yes. We actually live here. This is our home, so it's important that you show us respect. It's the same word in Danish? Respect? Yes. I have the utmost respect for your way of life. Everything you've done. What I see... You have a powerful gaze. That look in your eyes... It's quite unique. Welcome to our camp. He seemed fantastic, eh? Sure. He was very intense. Did you see the stare he gave me? Extremely charismatic. But he doesn't greet people wearing normal clothes? - Hi. - Good afternoon, sir! - Welcome. - Thank you. It looks delicious. And it smells good. Thank you. I could eat a piece of meat like that, no problem! Three or four pieces? Four. You're hungry. I'm a big boy. My name's Martin. Kristin. Kristin. What a pretty name. Nice fur. Yeah. You too. There you go. That'll be 120 kroner. 120 kroner? You know what? I can trade you this fur. I'm sorry, we don't accept furs. We accept cash or cards. MasterCard, Visa, Visa Debit, American Express. Basically everything. Just not furs. - Hi. - They accept credit cards. Should I pay? I have cash. I don't want anything. Why, Martin? - I don't want anything, Musa. - Get something. No. Not like this. Martin, let's... Martin. Martin, my treat! Can I have one more? Hey. Stop! What the hell are you doing? This is no take-away here. What did I tell you about respect? The people here... It's their home. And you steal from them? You said they cooked food, because they were hungry. You didn't mention white ead with ham and cheese. You call that authentic? Don't lecture me on authenticity. I sleep under a reindeer skin six months a year. Impressive. But you wouldn't last five minutes outside that gate. We are men. We don't steal. You never read a history book. The most Viking-esque thing here is me nicking these ead rolls. Put it down, or we'll call the police. With your authentic Viking phone. Or maybe you'd prefer a citizen's arrest? I'll give you five seconds to put down what you have stolen. If not, we'll show you just how authentic we are. One... Two! Three... Call the police! Come on! - Come on. - You're really tough in numbers, eh? Hey. Hey! Relax! Hey. Hey! What the hell are you doing? What are you doing? - Sorry, he... - No, what are you doing? - Yes, what are you doing? - You too, Martin. You're cooking food over a fire. It's a fireplace. Fireplace. Have you heard of the oven? Why make it so difficult? You might as well live in a refugee camp! Adults in carnival costumes. Do you want real trouble? Musa, Musa! Let's go. Why do you keep saying my name? Martin, Martin... Untie him! Whose car is that? Is it yours? Martin, take the key. Come on. I'll take you to the ferry, and then I'll return to my camp. In a car that's stolen, with blood everywhere. Brilliant idea! Yeah... And it was just for one night? Yes. Just one moment... Can I have a lollipop? - Sure. - Thank you. Can we do this in English? Have you seen a own-skinned dude with a sports bag who might've been here? No. But if he comes, would you tell us? You see, it's his birthday, so we want to surprise him. - Thank you. - You're welcome. Did you see the chicken? We're working, Eigil. Are you putting this down? EV... 53... 489. A grey BMW i3. New front grille. Electric car. There's also an iPhone 6 in the car. You just gave him the key? He had a gun. Sure. Was that before or after they raided the kitchen? After, of course. What is this place? Is there something sexual going on here? Absolutely not. Nothing sexual at all. Then what is it? It's a place where you can get an authentic Viking experience. My wife and I have been here. They didn't have chickens then. But you're quite sure that one of them was in Viking attire? The other one had civilian clothes? That's right. This is madness. Like my other-in-law. He loved nature, so my wife and I gave him outdoor gifts every year. Hiking boots, mosquito repellent et cetera. But... We found out that he hadn't been in the woods or the mountains. He was just humping a buddy of his in a little wooden cabin. They'd done it for years. When my sister confronted him, he had a eakdown and hung himself. Isn't it horrible? What a waste of life. All those birthdays, he didn't get what he wanted. He had no use for that mosquito repellent. - That's peculiar. - It's a damn waste of life. Let's go, Tore. Are we done here? You said the phone was in the car? We'll find them in no time. Take care. Hello? Hello! We'll go in there. Hello? We must get you on the ferry, and I'll return to the mountain. I haven't... I haven't been... I haven't been honest with you. No, you haven't. I'm not talking about the Viking camp. I'm talking about... I smuggle hash. I smuggle hash from Denmark to Norway. I was on my way to the ferry, and then I got in a car accident. I was with two other guys. Then I ran into the forest. Then I met you. What happened to the others? They died. I'm sorry. What was I supposed to say? I'm smuggling hash. Can you help me out of the forest? Then you would've left me, right? That might've been for the best. Yeah... Now I get why you can't see your son. I want to go home. - Let's go home. - I'm not going home. You have to. Who are you to tell me what to do! Do you have any right telling me what I should do? What is your plan with all this? I have a sweet wife at home. She'd do anything for me. We have a nice home just like everyone else. But the good life is suffocating me! I can't talk to my wife about it! You understand? I don't want to talk to anyone. That's why I'm here! Get it? I can't do it anymore. Martin? Tore? Stop! Martin, stop! Stop! I'm a police officer. This is the police! We lost him. He's gone. There's a great fly-fishing spot a few kilometers down the valley. Fly-fishing? A river. Stretching all the way around. He can't get away. We got him now. Oh my... Hi. Hi. Welcome. Do you know when I can get a ferry out of here? I'm sorry, they won't sail until tomorrow noon. Then I'd like a room. Okay. Just for you? Sign there. Do you have anything to eat? Sandwiches? I only have potetgull. What? Chips. Are you done? What? Where's the bag? I thought you were dead. I thought we were friends. Where's the bag? I don't have it. Where's the bag? Where's the bag? Huh? Where is it? I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Fuck, man... A man in Viking clothes that I met threw it in a river. It's true. He took all our stuff and threw it in a river. It's true. Where's the bag? I don't have it. Of course you do. I swear I don't have it. I'm telling you I don't have it... Where's the bag? Where? Where's the bag? Martin! Martin! Martin. Martin, where are you? This is the Norwegian police. Martin! Martin! Martin! Martin? Martin... Honey. Oh my... Look at you! Don't. Stop it. Are you hurt? - No, I'm fine. I'm fine! - You're cold. Are you freezing? - No, I'm perfectly fine. What the hell are you doing? Why do you always touch my neck! 25 police officers are looking for you. They say you've beaten two policemen! I think you should go and talk to them. I can't. I won't. On your feet! Don't touch my neck. Stop it. Then explain to me what's going on! Okay. What would a person born 3000 years ago make of a modern supermarket? I don't know. Martin, you don't know what you're saying. You've hurt your head. You don't understand. No, you're talking nonsense. I had to remove something to find out what I really need. That's why I'm here. I must get away from you to see if I miss you. And I don't think I do. Of course you do. I stand on my own out here. I built a camp. I hunt my own food. I've shot a deer. I ate a bird! If you don't understand that, I don't think we should be together. Martin, I love you. I want a divorce. What the hell are you saying? - That's it. - I drove all the way to Norway. To hear you say that bullshit! The girls are waiting in the car. Did you think about them? No! - You only think about yourself! - I think about you. That's why I'm here! This is ridiculous. - You look like a Christmas decoration! - Stop. - What is this? - It's anches! You look idiotic! Let go of me. Let go, dammit. Stop it! Do you have anything I can cut myself on? My knife, perhaps. Take off his fur. I don't want to stink up the car. Put it in the back. And that one. Am I going to jail? You're charged for armed robbery, car theft and hunting without a license. So that'll be my recommendation. Can I use your phone? Who do you want to call? My wife. I sort of told her that I want a divorce. - What? - I told her I want a divorce. I understand, but why the hell do you want that? - She's a wonderful woman. - I know. Both her and my girls are great, but they're ashamed of me. They don't say that, but I can feel it. I see. So you dressed up as a Viking to feel like a man again? My god... You're so unbelievably simple. It's marvelous. I'm an old fly-fisherman. You know, fishing with flies. Always loved it. In the woods, you feel this peace, tranquility and quiet. We all need that. My wife always asked if she could join me in the woods. I said no. I needed that time by myself, all alone. A time without all her questions. So I lied to her. Told her I was going to work, which was just dumb. You don't come home from work with a huge load of fish, do you? Then one day, she was gone. - Did she leave you? - No. She had a stroke. It's difficult to understand how little time we have. If I tell you where Musa is can I borrow the phone? Certainly. Guddalen. But I don't know where. It's a small town. There's only one place he can be. - Can I use the phone? - No, you're going with me. - We agreed that if... - We're going to Guddalen. It looks like Musa has found his old pals. What do you mean? That car was stolen. Okay. Hello? Open the door. It's the police. Open the door. It's the police. Just a minute! Where is it? Are you going to kill me with a cop standing out there? Hello? Can you open the door? It's the police. Get a hold of yourself, Simon. Where is it? Are you fucking crazy? Don't do it. Put away that gun. I'll tell you. Put away that gun. Simon, I stashed it outside. Where are you going? This is Anne. I can't pick up the phone now, but leave a message, and I'll call you right back. Bye! Hi, Anne. It's me. I'm so sorry about what I said to you earlier. There's something wrong with me. I don't know what the hell it is. But I'll do everything I can to get back home to you. We really need to talk about you and me. I know that you hate me. But please tell the girls... Tell them that I love them... I love them! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Get out of the car. Come. Come. Turn around. I need your handcuffs. Stop! Fuck! Stop! Where is he? He went up there. Just let me be. What should I do? Go home. We're all just playing dress up. You're bleeding. I'll be kissing my wife soon. If you believe in that stuff. I mean... That wouldn't be too bad. Go home, you idiot. The ferry's about to leave. Should I carry the bag? Sure. I'd like those sandwiches and two sodas. And I'll have one of these. Sure. 480 kroner. Keep the change. It's really dry. Thanks. WILD MEN
Prehistoric rock art depicting astronauts. Oh, look at that. - The spaceman? - The spaceman! Exactly! Look at the helmet. An ancient temple covered in otherworldly writings. It's all here, in this sanctuary, the whole story of humanity's place in the stars. Incredible petroglyphs of mysterious flying objects. So this one here looks like a UFO. For more than a decade, Ancient Aliens has examined the oldest and most mysterious carvings on Earth up close and in person. Now we take a look back at some of the most extraordinary glyphs. Glyphs, that according to ancient astronaut theorists, tell a worldwide story of alien visitation. On Ancient Aliens, we have traveled across the world examining some of the most mysterious stone carvings, often referred to as glyphs. Our ancestors spent countless hours carving images and symbols as a record of what they thought were the most important pieces of their history. Many glyphs depict strange, humanoid figures, and tell stories of visitors coming down from the sky. William Henry got to see some of these incredible glyphs up close in the mountains of northern Italy. Val Camonica, Italy. June 13, 2019. Ancient astronaut theorist William Henry has traveled to this UNESCO world heritage site to investigate what he believes could be forensic evidence that the early civilizations of this region came into contact with extraterrestrials. Hi, I'm William. Nice to meet you. Joining him is Luca Giarelli, the head of the Val Camonica Historical and Anthropological Society. Luca has spent years studying this mysterious region of northern Italy and wants to show William the rock carvings for which this alpine valley is famous. This place is massive. I'm ready, let's go. I'm here at Val Camonica because it is a treasure trove of images from the ancient world that have been well-documented and studied by scholars. They don't agree on the meaning of the images but some of them are very open minded to the ancient astronaut theory. Footprints. Wow! Look like deer. Look at this, incredible. Wow. Oh, look at that. The spaceman, exactly. Look at the helmet! Right. It's like he's glowing. The Camunian Rose. Wow. 19 Camunian Roses? Archaeologists call this mysterious symbol the Camunian Rose because of its flower-like shape. While its exact meaning is lost to history, some believe it to be a religious symbol or a representation of the movement of the stars. But ancient astronaut theorists suggest it might also depict something else... the vessel that ought these helmeted figures to Val Camonica. Look at that. That looks like a spaceship. It's like you'd look up in the sky, and you would see this kind of twirling, spinning ship in the sky. It seems to me, just looking at it, they are trying to talk about beings coming from other worlds, maybe to this place. Tell me about that five-pointed star. Mm-hmm. Sometimes the-the stars mean energy, like energy from the stars would come to this place or star beings would come to this place. - Yeah. - Mm-hmm. Okay, so this is like a newspaper then. It says, this was in the sky above us at some point, and this spaceman came down and maybe met the Camunian people. According to the ancient stories, the city of Turin, just 155 miles from Val Camonica, was founded by a character from Greek mythology called Phaeton who came to Earth from the stars. Legend states that Turin was founded by the god Phaeton, who is a son of the sun god Helios and in the myth of Phaeton, we learn the story of how he descended to Earth in a fiery chariot. Perhaps crashing into Mount Musinè. This also led to something fortuitous because he ought gifts to this place. He had great skills, was a metallurgist. And taught this to the local people. When we look at myths such as the myth of Phaeton, here is really the story of a UFO landing on a mountain and interacting with the locals. Given the-the connection with the spacemen that are etched into the rock, that we have to be open to the possibility that what the ancient artist is trying to portray is something that he actually saw in the sky, something coming out of the heavens. Is there a connection between the stone carvings found at Val Camonica and the story of Phaeton's descent from the sky? And do other clues exist here that point to ancient alien contact? Were there any other cultures that were connected with the valley? - What sort of engravings? - Uh... Mm-hmm. Oh, the horned god, yeah. Right. That means the Celts were here. So is the only location where we see the spaceman? - Even deeper into the woods? - Yeah. I'd love to go. All right. Luca guides William up a steep portion of the valley for a rare look at another carving hidden from public view. I'm all right, thanks. Wow. We're-we're like on the edge of a cliff here. Wait a minute, that-that's one of them, isn't it right there? Yeah. How cool! Wow! - Like the other one. - Yeah, these are just like the other guys. Exactly. - The detail is amazing. - Yeah. Mm-hmm. There's clearly some kind of an exchange that's happening here. It's like they're making a photograph of what happened at this place. They're trying to say, At this spot, this is what we saw here. Of-of all places to find a rock like this. This is a very secretive, almost initiatory place where select people would be ought here to be told - this story about these extraterrestrials. - Yeah. Do the so-called spacemen of Val Camonica commemorate an extraterrestrial visitation, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining an Egyptian temple covered in hieroglyphs... that tell the story of the creation of humankind. Of all the mysterious glyphs we've examined on Ancient Aliens, some of the most astounding can be found in Egypt, where they're known as hieroglyphs. One the most extensive collections of hieroglyphs is at the Temple of Edfu, and in 2018, Ramy Romany gave us a rare opportunity to see them for ourselves. Edfu, Egypt. April 2018. Egyptologist Ramy Romany has invited author and researcher Andrew Collins to join him on a visit to one of the most impressive and best-preserved shrines in Egypt, the Temple of Edfu, located on the west bank of the Nile, 465 miles south of Cairo. Look at this temple. This is, like, my most favorite façade in all of the temples of ancient Egypt. According to mainstream archaeologists, Edfu is believed to have been built sometime between 237 and 57 BC. It is dedicated to the falcon-headed god, Horus... The son of Osiris and Isis. This temple was one of the last temples that was ever built in ancient Egypt, during the Roman times. When they built that temple, they were like, We want to preserve the stories. So let's gather all the mythology of ancient Egypt and try to put it in one temple. It took 150 years to make this happen. And then finally, we have the book of ancient Egyptian mythology. It's right in front of us on all these walls. Every wall is absolutely covered, uh, in hieroglyphs and images, not only of the foundation of ancient Egypt and the first temple, but also how the world came into being. How Egypt came into being, how the universe was essentially founded in the first place. I mean, there's just so much here. The most sacred part of Edfu is its inner sanctum, featuring a 12-foot-tall granite stone. This is it, right here. This is how it all began. Every symbol, every text, every little drawing in here represents the most sacred thing for ancient Egyptians. The question that humans now still ask themselves, How did it all began? What created us? Every religion talks about it. Scientist tries to figure out. Ancient Egyptians had an answer, and it was right there. Right on top of this is the pyramidion. That pyramidion is the primeval mound that appeared in the middle of marshes where all the gods came and landed on for the first time to start creating humanity. This is the beginning of humanity. And the pyramidion is almost like a miniature of what we see at Giza, with the Great Pyramid, uh, which is so fascinating, because what we have here is a focus of all of these chapels finishing with this incredible structure pointing towards the stars. It's actually pointing towards the origins of the gods themselves. There's another piece of evidence here that you might like. This is the boat or a symbol of the boat that they believed the gods came on to the first primeval stone. - Oh, that's quite extraordinary. - The first primeval mound. The gods would have arrived on this ship. So it's all here, in this sanctuary, the whole story of humanity's beginning, you know, its place in the stars, and how it arrived here in the first place. This to me strongly suggests that they were aware that our origins are found amongst the stars. Or could it just simply be humans trying to make religions explain what science can't explain? But I don't think it's about religion. This is about cosmology. An ancient cosmology that we're now beginning to understand for the first time, within science. We can now essentially say that the idea that life came from the stars is almost certainly a reality. Whether it came here on a meteorite, or whatever, somehow the ancient Egyptians knew this. Are the ancient hieroglyphs carefully inscribed on the granite stone at the Temple of Edfu merely the fanciful notions of ancient Egyptian priests, or could they be based on actual historical events? Perhaps the answers can be found by examining an ancient glyph that can only be seen from the sky. On Ancient Aliens, we have traveled around the world investigating incredible glyphs that, for me, prove we are not alone in the universe. Some of the most dramatic examples of this are geoglyphs... Enormous symbols that have been carved into the Earth and can only be seen from the sky. In 2018, David Childress got a bird's-eye view of one of the most amazing geoglyphs we've ever examined. Located in the desert just west of the Arizona border, an estimated 300 gigantic figures can be seen etched in the arid ground. Known as the Blythe Intaglios, these ancient carvings depict animals, spirals, and perhaps most significantly, gigantic humanoid figures. These intaglios are unique in that they're always found on the shorelines of ancient lakes that existed 12,500 years ago and prior. In April 2018, ancient astronaut theorist David Childress traveled to Blythe to meet with historian Patricia Robles and Alfredo Figueroa, an elder of the local Chemehuevi tribe. He is also known to many in the region as The Guardian of the Glyphs. David was eager to see firsthand whether the legends surrounding these unique geoglyphs could be true. They can only be seen from the air, really, right? Well, they can be seen from the ground but you can see it all intact. If you're walking on it, you really don't know what - you're walking on. - Exactly. Yeah, right. We'll be able to see it with the drone, I think. Oh, that's excellent, you got a drone? - Excellent, excellent. - Yes, we got... Let me get... - Oh, that's wonderful. - It's the best way. - Okay, let me get it. - Thank you. Who builds this and-and why? The original tribes here were the Aztecas. - The Aztecs. - Right. - Okay. - How about... There he goes. Wow, that's pretty interesting. With the drone camera, David, Patricia and Alfredo are able to see the Blythe Intaglios from a vantage point that their creators never could have... At least, not without the aid of some form of aircraft. But if this is true, then why were they created? And for whom? - All right, this is... - Is Omecihuatl. Cihuatl means woman. And she is pregnant, right here, see. She's like having a baby then. - Aw, okay. - And right next to her, is the Ocelot. Ocelot is the jaguar. Okay, so you can see it's a cat because it has a very long tail. - Uh, is that...? - Well, the tail is supposed to be - like a U. - A loop. And in the cosmos, it represents the-the Big Dipper. Here in this place, they came down. And because they descended from the cosmos, our ancestors created these images and aligned them with the constellations. So that we would understand that story. But of all the Blythe Intaglios, the ones Alfredo is most eager to show David are those that are the largest and arguably the most dramatic. This is big. This thing is huge. That's right. They are the ones representing the Aztec gods Kokopelli... Better known as Quetzalcoatl... And Cicimitl, the Aztec star god. Which glyph is this one? What we're seeing here is Kokopelli. And he represents Quetzalcoatl. The Aztec, uh, god of Quetzalcoatl. - So this one is... - Cicimitl. Cicimitl. His face there. You see his nose. He's not like a normal person, is he? No, he looks just like a... an E.T. He looks like an extraterrestrial, uh-huh, yeah. An extraterrestrial? Is it possible that these incredible geoglyphs represent not just mythological gods, but actual alien beings whose arrival on Earth was witnessed by the Azteca people? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and Alfredo Figueroa is convinced that it was here, the location of the Aztecs' legendary home of Aztlan where extraterrestrial visitors came down from the sky. Aztlan is very important in Aztec mythology. It was a place where the gods came down to give them the information and prophecies that the Aztecs had. I mean, you're maintaining that this whole area here, around Blythe and the Colorado River is an ancient homeland of-of the Aztecs - and-and the gods, too? - Yes. The geoglyphs were made by... the Nahuatl people. The Nahuatl are the origin of the Aztecas and the Mexicas. So, they're the ones that made 'em at-at first. And then the Nahuatl people made these geoglyphs to-to honor... the-the creator gods. Right, and to not forget where we came from. Where we came from, that's right. Could it be that Blythe, California really was the ancestral home of the Aztec people, and that more than 1,000 years ago the area was visited by extraterrestrial beings? Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the answers may be found by examining the most mysterious glyphs of all. Incredible images of visitors from the sky. Any discussion ofd mysterious glyphs has to include the incredible ancient rock art of the Native Americans. In 2013, I got the rare opportunity to examine a remarkable collection of petroglyphs in the Zuni territory of New Mexico with tribal elder, Clifford Mahooty. Located at an elevation of over 6,000 feet, this barren desert land has been home to the Zuni for at least 1,300 years. Stretching roughly 700 square miles, it contains literally thousands of ancient carvings that most outsiders have never laid eyes on. And the Zuni claim that some of these petroglyphs depict visitations from star beings. To the Zuni people and other tribes, there's a spiritual connection with the star beings. They're the ones that actually rule the-the universe or the world that we're on. If you look at the petroglyphs, there's a lot of references to those type of, uh, entities. There's definitely evidence that aliens visited North America in the distant past. And there are petroglyphs throughout this part of the country carved by ancient Americans that depict just that. In 2013, ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos, traveled to New Mexico to meet with Zuni elder Clifford Mahooty, and get an exclusive look at this mysterious rock art. What can you tell me about this petroglyph right here? Well, you know, if you can see on top of that where maybe a head would be, it's kind of eroded off. But on the next part of it there's four compartments look like extension of something sticking out. Yeah, almost like legs. It could be something that they saw in the air. Isn't there a legend that beings visited on top of this mountain? Oh, yes. Uh, on all of the mesas. Look at that triangle up there. And you've got the dots around it that have been carved into the rock that remind me of, like, stars. In conjunction with all the stories of star people descending from the sky in fiery shields and things like this, when I see a pattern like that, I always think, what if this is something that they saw, and then they carved onto a rock? For something like this that they saw maybe in the sky or had an encounter, they would come over here and say, Well, it, um, it looked like this. So they were put on there and say, Well, the best of my-my recollection, here's what it looked like. So they would put it on there. So this is a permanent record. - Right. Oh, no. That is why stone was used. - Yeah. Yeah. - It is the only permanent record that we have. - Mm-hmm. Yes. And-and the thing about it is that... how does it connect to present day? I mean, there are certain things out here where you can look at it. Okay, for example, the UFO. We didn't know anything about UFOs until the last century. But all those years, they knew about them. They saw them, and somebody says, Okay, I'm going to put this down here for longevity. And they say, Grandson, I want to show you what I saw when I was a young man. And they'll come over and show you, that's exactly what I saw and here's what it looked like. Is it possible that these ancient rock carvings in remote areas of the Zuni territory provide a historical record of extraterrestrial contact? You can find petroglyphs that are similar to those in the Zuni territory all throughout North America. And surprisingly, nearly identical drawings can be found on the other side of the planet. New South Wales, Australia. The Bulgandry preservation site is one of numerous sacred Indigenous locations where ancient rock art and engravings can be found. Many are believed to date back thousands of years. Wow. In Fe uary 2016, researcher and publisher Giorgio Tsoukalos traveled to Australia to meet with Aboriginal Elder Kevin Gavi Duncan to learn about one of the oldest carvings that can be found here. So what are we looking at here? So this image is an actual image of what we say is our Godfather creator being, Baiame. - That's what our people believe. - Okay. Baiame came from a place that we call the Morning Star - within the Mirrabooka. - Mm-hmm. Mirra means stars and book a means river. That is the Milky Way that flows across the night sky. - No kidding? Okay. - Yes. And so he is one of those Sky-Heroes that has descended from the Milky Way? Yes. He's a Sky-Hero. And Baiame is carved in the manner that you see, he has his arms out. And he holds the Moon in one hand... ...and the Morning Star in the other... which is a bit like what we call planet Earth. And these are the two moons which exist around the Morning Star and the Mirrabooka that Baiame came from. Mm-hmm. And this is the canoe. He sailed through the river of life, um, in the Mirrabooka across the sky world. So he sailed through the Milky Way? Yes, he sailed through the Milky Way. And this was his vessel that he sailed, and he landed, to the Earth. And he crushed the top of the mountain which is the sacred mountain of Mount Yengo not far from here. And when he landed, they said the fire came from his feet and it burnt the mount... the top of the mountain and all around it every time he landed. So the landings were always associated - with a lot of noise, smoke and fire? - Yes! The fire trail that was left when Baiame was leaving the top of the mountain into the sky world, when Baiame had left was so ight... people interpret that as a spaceship - of some kind as coming and going. - Yeah. But this is the way we simply interpret Baiame's spaceship. Right. But it's because the vocabulary didn't exist at the time. - Yes. - So, to me, those are all wonderfully poetic ways to describe eyewitness accounts of things that were incredible. Yes. This site is considered around 8,000 to 10,000 years old. Wow! These carvings. These rock paintings, these are our books. They are considered to be basically our truth. Do the petroglyphs found in Australia and North America tell the same story of alien visitation? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that another series of rock carvings found in Australia may reveal the truth about how these otherworldly visitors arrived on planet Earth. On Ancient Aliens, we've examined glyphs all over the world and we find strikingly similar imagery again and again. But what was completely unexpected was the discovery of what are clearly Egyptian hieroglyphs not in Egypt, but in Australia. Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia. Deep in the Brisbane Water National Park is a mysterious site known as the Gosford Glyphs. The site consists of two massive, eight-foot-high walls engraved with over 300 ancient carvings. Carvings that experts say do not resemble Indigenous artwork, but Egyptian hieroglyphs. After deciphering the texts, 21st century Egyptologist Ray Johnson believed them to reveal the burial site of Lord Nefer-Ti-Ru, a member of the Egyptian royal family who died while visiting the area with his other sometime between 2637 and 2614 BC. Absolutely beautiful out here. Oh, I know. While visiting the area in 2016, Giorgio Tsoukalos met with local ancient astronaut theorist Evan Strong to get a firsthand look at these enigmatic carvings. - And here we are. - Wow! That's incredible. I had no idea. I mean, this looks totally different than on pictures. So what do these hieroglyphs say? Well, at least one panel talks about two others, two princes, coming here from Egypt. They were shipwrecked. One of 'em ended up getting bitten by a snake. He then died. The theory is then he was interred here and that's why you've got hieroglyphs here. - Mm-hmm. - Because he died here. But there's these other walls with a mixture of symbols. This one over here, it's more of a philosophical astrophysics style thing with symbols meaning all sorts of esoteric stuff so... Now, have-have these symbols at all been interpreted by Egyptologists? - There've been a few actually. - Mm-hmm. A few different people have done that. - And what was their reaction? - Well, Raymond Johnson was one of the first people to come here and-and translate. He actually sent some of his translations off to the Cairo li ary and Dr. Abu Dhia Ghazi, ended up saying, Yep, you're on the right track. It's something called pro to-Egyptian. And how old do you reckon these are? We're thinking because of the prevalence, at least in one panel of pro to-Egyptian, that it's about 4,600 years old. Wow. Are there any hieroglyphs that stand out to you? Yeah, definitely. Follow me down here, and I'll show you this other one. So this one here, um, we call the UFO glyph and people have called it that since they've been coming here because it kind of looks like a UFO. Yeah, it definitely has the classic UFO shape. It's got the-the rays or whatever you want to call it. What would you suggest if anyone says, Well, this is not a UFO. It's some other symbol, but certainly not that? I think someone suggested that it's jewelry but it's a completely different symbol that's upside down and it really doesn't quite fit in. It's one of those symbols here that, that doesn't fit into the canon. In your opinion, why do you think the Egyptians made it all the way to Australia? I think they were looking for esoteric wisdom, definitely. - From the Aboriginals? - Yes. The ancient Egyptians, we have stories, and Aboriginal stories, about their arrival, and about their visits long before Europeans had arrived here. Naturally we would have shared ceremony with these people, because they have the same similar beliefs as our people. Egyptians have that same spiritual connection to the sky world. Hieroglyphs found in Australia? Might the continent have actually served as a pilgrimage site for visitors seeking a direct connection to the so-called gods? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest further evidence of this otherworldly link can be found in one of the most remote places in the world. What's fascinating about many of the glyphs we've examined on Ancient Aliens is that they depict the natural world of our ancestors with extreme accuracy. But every now and then we find a bird that looks more like an airplane or a serpent with wings... or even a turtle descending from the sky. And this is exactly what I found at one of the most remote locations in the world, the Marquesas Islands. Ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio Tsoukalos and David Childress set out to explore the remote Marquesas Islands, in search of evidence that extraterrestrial contact took place here in the remote past. - Hello. I'm Giorgio. - Hello. - Pleasure to meet you. - I'm Aniata. Hi, I'm David. Arriving on the island of Nuku Hiva, they are met by local guide, Aniata Kimitete. - Let's go explore. - Great. All right. She has ought them to an area known as Kamuihei, a sacred place believed to be rich in what the natives call mana or spiritual power. So we are arriving at this spot where I really - wanted to show you about this site. - Oh, look at this. What we see here, it's what we call petroglyphs. Yeah. So you have three turtles. So one, two, three. Here. And also on the rock you can see a canoe. - Okay. - So you have the head of the canoe here that looks a little bit like a bird. Their canoes had a bird head at the front. You see the beak. - Yeah, that looks like a bird head. - Yeah. And what is the significance of the turtles? The turtle is actually the messenger from the gods. He was a very sacred animal. People were not allowed to eat them. You know, I think this is really interesting what you said that the turtle is regarded here as messenger of the gods, because this is not something new. It's not something native to this area. There are other parts of the world where... the turtle is described by having descended from the sky. And the idea that this is here too considered a messenger of the gods, that to me is a connection to potential extraterrestrials. Throughout the planet, numerous ancient cultures have origin stories that involve some sort of divine or cosmic turtle. Followers of Japanese Shinto venerate the Kame-ishi. A stone turtle that portends the end of the world. In Guatemala, there are legends of giant flying turtles and even artifacts that feature the image of a man wearing what appears to be a helmet lying inside a turtle shell. In North America, the Iroquois Indians tell tales of a sky goddess who falls to Earth from the heavens, whereupon a giant turtle rises up from the ocean to catch her. I think it's interesting here this canoe which would have been very large, has the bird head on it. And you have the bird men of Easter Island that are so famous. One of Easter Island's ancient traditions involves Tangata manu, or the Bird man cult. According to legend, the creator god Make-Make was looking in a mirror and saw a bird land on his shoulder. Seeing his image combined with the bird, he decided to make a son who was half man, half bird. In turn, the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island worshiped the bird man as the predecessor of all humans. One of the central focuses of the rituals, the annual rituals at Easter Island... ...was that of Tangata manu, the bird man. And the bird man is a universal symbol that we find in many parts of the globe that relates to ancestry associated with figures, characters in feather coats who were seen to be able to go between this world and the next. And here we have the same ideas on Easter Island. Is there more to see on the island? - We have a lot more to see on the island. - Okay. - So let's go. - Okay. After showing Giorgio and David the ancient petroglyphs, Aniata takes them to a site that has some of the most striking statuary in the Marquesas. Right now we are at the Tohua of Temehea. So the Tohua is the gathering place. And so this sculpture here is a modern sculpture. But, is this based on something old? Yes. Because the site that we are on was rebuilt. Even though it's modern, it's really based on the original statue. Oh, wow. Okay. Is this considered a Tiki? Yes, this Tiki represents the population. So to the Marquesan people, what is a Tiki? A Tiki at first was the representation of our god of magic and sorcery. He was one of the only god in French Polynesia that has the face of a man. He became our protector, because when you have a Tiki by your side, then you are protected from your enemy. In the Marquesas, the word Tiki can be used to refer both to an ancestral figure that came to the islands in ancient times, as well as the statues that represent him. They are variously carved in both wood and stone, and often depict a being with large, goggle-like eyes. And this is what Tiki looks like... as a god? Yes, because they say in the legend that when Tiki left the Earth, they made the sculpture of how he looked like, just... to have something to remember from Tiki. So that's how he looked like actually. It looks very strange to me. If this is a representation of what your ancestors thought this figure looked like, it doesn't look like a man, it looks weird. Yeah. I mean, he-he sort of looks like a man, but with these big goggle eyes and the elongated head and everything, he looks like an extraterrestrial. Is it possible that glyphs found on nearly every continent reveal that ancient people all over the world encountered extraterrestrial visitors? Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that some rock art provides a record not only of alien contact, but even of how they got here. Could these mysterious petroglyphs provide the best evidence yet of ancient alien contact? To me, the ultimate proof lies in the fact that all over the world, cultures that were separated by thousands of miles carved the same strange figures and symbols again and again, leaving us with a record of extraterrestrial intervention on Earth. Our alien origins are in plain sight for anyone to see. You only need to read the writing on the wall. CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY A+E NETWORKS
>> JEFF We are off the coast of Panama on a remote island that will play a dramatic role in the lives of our 16 survivors over the next 39 days. This is Exile Island. Each week, at least one survivor will be banished here, separated from their tribe-- they'll have no idea what's going on back at camp-- and they'll be forced to live on their own until they return to the game. But there is a silver lining to Exile it's a mystery that could help one of our survivors win the million dollars and the title of sole survivor. It's a twist like never before, turning strategy on its head. These 16 Americans have already begun the adventure of a lifetime. They have been divided into four tribes, each with four members. They are strangers from different walks of life, forced to work together to create a new society while battling the elements and each other. They must learn to adapt or they'll be voted from the tribe. In the end, only one will remain to claim the million-dollar prize. 39 days, 16 people, one... survivor. Captioning sponsored by (theme song playing) Come on in, guys. Welcome to Survivor. Cirie, what do you think about the way you've been divided? First reaction. >> It looks like younger, older. >> Shane, is that what it's sizing up to you? >> Yeah, I mean, genders and ages separated, the four of us. I mean, it will be interesting. I don't think this has ever happened before. >> Shane's right. For the first time ever, you have been divided into four tribes by age and gender: Younger men versus younger women versus the older men versus the older women. >> Uh... I thought I was young. W-W-W-W-W-W-- (laughing): I'm on the wrong team. Why do they think I'm older? Do I look older? (older women laughing) >> I would certainly prefer to have some females on our team. My personality, I can't help but flirt with, you know, basically any female I come into contact with. >> There was the young beefcake crowd, of which I was the charter member and president, and then there was the Love Boat crowd, which was the older men, and there was the Golden Girls and then there was the Spice Girls. It will be interesting to see how things shake out. >> Let me tell you a little bit about the island you're on right now. You will not be living here as tribes, but over the next 39 days, many of you will be spending some time out here alone. This is Exile Island. Throughout this game, tribe members will be banished to this island, where you will have to live with very meager supplies, dealing with all the elements, with nobody to watch your back. And even worse, when you're on Exile Island, you are not back at your camp. You are out of the loop and you don't know what is going on. Now I've got another surprise. You're going to compete, right now, in your first reward challenge. >> Yeah. >> Let's get it on. >> I was just pumped that we had a challenge right off the bat. I mean, that's my forte, that's my thing. I'm an athlete, you know, I'm physical. That's what I came here for. >> All right, each tribe will choose one person to run for them. On my go, you will race to the other end of the island, where you will find a pile of skulls. Taking one skull at a time, smash it on a rock. Inside, you'll find a tightly wrapped ball of fa ic. Untie it. You're looking for an amulet, not a stone. Once you find an amulet, race back to the finish. The first three tribe members back with an amulet win, for their tribe, fire in the form of flint. In addition, the losing tribe will choose one person to stay behind on Exile Island, right off the bat. >> (whistling): Wow. >> Big enough stakes? >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Definitely. >> All right, I know you don't know each other very well, but you got to make a decision. I'll give you a second to strategize. Who is going to run? (all talking indistinctly) >> All right. Older Women, who's going to run the challenge? >> Ruth-Marie. >> Older guys, who's it going to be? >> Terry. >> For the younger women? >> Danielle. >> How about for the younger guys? >> Austin. >> Austin, Danielle, Terry, Ruth-Marie, come up to the start. >> Let's go, Terry. >> Look for the amulet. Look for the amulet. >> For reward in the form of fire. Survivors ready. Go! (all shouting) Austin down already. Gotta get those jitters out. >> Let's go, Terry. >> (whispering): I hope she can pound it. >> Here comes somebody. >> Let's go, Terry! Yeah, Terry! >> Terry back first, for the older guys. Only two amulets remaining. (whooping) >> Yeah! >> There he is. >> Austin! >> Austin back with the second amulet for the younger guys. >> My boy, that's my boy. >> Older women, younger women, getting nervous? Nobody wants to stay behind here. >> She's not a smasher. >> God is gonna help her. >> I just can't eathe until I see her come up here. >> Come on, Ruth, come on. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. >> Here comes the final amulet. I don't know who's got it. >> Lord, please let it be Ruth-Marie. >> Ruth-Marie back with the final amulet for the older women! Older women, older men, younger men all have amulets. >> That's good, that's good, that's great, you did it. >> Here she comes. (applause) For the young men, fire. For the older guys, fire. The older women-- Ruth-Marie. >> Yay! >> Whoo! >> For the younger women, big disadvantage right off the bat-- no fire, and the worst news is you got to give me a name now. Who is going to stay behind at Exile Island? >> I'll stay. >> Uh-uh. >> You shouldn't have to. >> I said, you know, I lost the challenge, I feel like I should stay, and then the other girls were like, No, no, no, you can't. You just did the challenge. You know, they were really cool about it. >> Should we, like, pick up sticks or something? Whoever gets the shortest? >> Rock, paper, scissors? >> That sounds great. >> Can we do rock, paper, scissors? >> You can do whatever you want. (talking indistinctly) >> No one really wanted to make a decision in our group. The whole time I'm holding my eath. I'm thinking, Please, God, I don't want to start off Survivor on the losing end. >> One, two, three, hit-- ready? >> All right, I'm here. But, you know, I'm the one who got stuck sitting on Exile Island. >> Misty is sticking behind. >> I'm staying. >> Here's how it's going to work. You will stay here until the first immunity challenge, at which point, you will return back to your tribe. You will compete. There's one other element to Exile Island. Hidden somewhere on this island is an immunity idol. >> Ooh-hoo. >> So while you're out here trying to figure out how to survive, you ought to be looking for it. If you find the idol, you can share that information with whoever you want. You can keep it a secret. It's up to you. The important thing to remember is that you can use it anytime, up through the final four, but once there are only three of you remaining, the idol can be used no more. But here's the best part: you can hold on to that idol until after the votes have been revealed at Tribal Council. That means you could have enough votes to get you voted out, you hold up that idol, you are now immune, and the person with the next most votes goes home. It is a huge shift in how this game is played. Along the way, you'll be given clues as to the whereabouts of that idol. Younger Guys, get out of here. Here's a map. Let's go. Older Guys, here's a map to your beach. >> Thank you. >> Have fun. >> All righty. >> Older Women. (whooping) Sally, Danielle, Courtney, here's a map to your beach. The boat is waiting to take you there. All right, Misty. Tough way to start the game. A few minutes in, you're already left on your own. Here's what you have on Exile one machete, one bucket of water. Water not going to do you a lot of get good, 'cause you really need to boil it before you drink it, and you don't have fire. You also have a lot of time to think about why fate chose you to be the first one out here, which is also why immunity is already so important. And as for your first clue to the whereabouts, I've already given it to you. Good luck. See you at the immunity challenge. >> Nice work out there, buddy. >> Uh-huh! (yelling like Tarzan) >> Where's the map? Who's got the map? >> I am the first person exiled to Exile Island. I definitely feel very vulnerable. I didn't expect this, this soon, this early, so it came as quite a shock. Think, Misty, think. Jeff did say there's an immunity idol on the island, and he left me with clues. He said, Why did fate leave you behind? Behind me. It seems to me like he was trying to tell us that the immunity idol was buried behind us, where we were standing. That was my guess, anyways. Behind me. I'm going to be definitely searching for that immunity idol. (laughter) (whooping) >> Oh, we have a machete! >> We walked up to the flag. There was a pot and a machete. The machete kind of scared me a little bit. I thought we might have to clear an area to build a house or something. And clearing areas kind of scares me, because when you clear the area, the things that used to live there come out, and I'm not good with things. >> And bless our team. Bless everyone here... >> Amen. >> Amen. >> Amen. (laughter) (whooping) >> To finally be at your beach where your tribe flag is, is huge, and then, of course, we're like, Where are we going to build a shelter? Where are we going to build a fire? Oh, my gosh, we've got to do this. We only have two hours of daylight. You know? So we went straight into work mode. >> Ooh, that's pretty cool stuff. (howling) >> Burn, baby, burn (whooping) >> Disco inferno... Okay, here we go, kids. More of that stuff. Keep her going. >> Good job! >> Good job! (whooping) >> Keep more sticks, more sticks. >> People, I think that was a fire in record time, thank you. >> I'm serious. >> Yes! Well, starting a fire was highly successful for us. Once you hit that flint, holy schnikes, it's like a Fourth of July fireworks parade. Sparks were going everywhere. Kumbaya, my Lord, Kumbaya... (grunts) >> The Older Women are performing very well. Tina, who has the most interesting background-- she's actually a log roller-- she is a very, very resourceful woman. >> Water is ours! >> And so with Tina stepping forward into the leadership position, I'm happy to step back and be one of the worker bees. (whimpering) >> They're what? You said something scared you. >> There's a lot of scary stuff around here, though. >> I don't think Cirie has had a lot of outdoor experience. Heck, we went to gather leaves to make a cushion for our bed tonight, and she said she hates leaves. Did anyone tell her what show she was going on? I'm, like, thinking, Leaves are the least of your problem, honey. >> Oh, yeah, keep it to him. >> Bam. You better not strike out. That would be a bum. We haven't really prioritized anything yet, and we got to figure out how are we going to get water, how are we going to get fire, how are we going to get shelter? Put your left hand, like, an inch over my left hand. And they're all left hand? Try to get it as close without touching. Now right hands. Now, now, uh... All right, we're going to leave our hands here until you guys start to feel something. You tell me when you start to feel a little bit of energy. All right, so right now, I want you guys just to think, right now, what we're going to do. We're going to make fire. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> All right? Seriously, just take a second, stop and think about that. You guys feel anything in your hands? All right? >> Aras, uh, has definitely... He's got a lot of ideas. Some of them are kind of hare ained, out of left field, like doing medication to get fire. >> All right, we'll make a... >> (laughing): Machete? >> It's over there. >> It's right... >> And it's, like, so grandiose. Like, and you just want to go, Okay, how are you going to do that? Like, we need to worry about basics. >> Use that power in the hand. You got it. >> Brace yourself. >> Think about this thing and catching it. Okay. (clanging) >> Oh, my hand. >> Keep the faith. Keep the faith, fellas. >> I mean, is there something we're just missing? Like some component of fire-building that everybody is going to be, like, Those four jackasses!? >> No, we're getting sparks. >> Our tribe's just hysterical. I mean, we all established within two hours of being here, when we didn't have a fire going, and hopelessly building this pathetic shelter... (clicks tongue) We don't have a clue what we are doing. (laughs) That's the shelter right there, gentlemen. >> Look at that. >> (chuckling): Yeah. >> Where's Bob Vila when you need him? >> That is the sorriest shelter I think we could have possibly come up with. >> Possibly. >> Got to be proud of it. First night, you know? We wouldn't want to peak the first night. >> Let's just hope it doesn't rain. Right now, it's not. (birds calling) >> Oh, this is kind of cool, too, this little... story. >> We could do a lean-to. >> Yeah. We could... and it's flat. >> Well, there are so many places. I don't know. We should keep looking. Don't you think? >> What would Misty like? (laughing): What would... >> It hasn't been the greatest day for us. We started off, like, you know, underdogs. Plus, you know, since we didn't win the flint and, everyone else did, we don't have fire, and don't have water. And we only have three of us, so... And none of us has ever made a shelter before. It's such a cool tree, huh? It seems like we could do something with this. >> I don't know. >> I don't know. >> I'm-I'm not... Are you feeling it? >> No. (laughter) >> Nope... Next! >> I'm just kidding. >> We are so back-and-forth about where to pick our shelter. We were being women: Huh. Do you think this will work? I don't know. What do you think? I don't know. Is purple my color? Hmm. Uh... >> Do you want to keep walking? Other options? >> I-I'm happy walking, just checking out where we're living, just for fun. >> All right, let's check it out. I started to get a little bit frustrated with the whole, like, where we should do the shelter. If you see it and you like it, don't even look any more, because it's just a waste of time at that point. It's starting to get dark. >> Oh, man! How old this guy is. Oh, man! Dead, on this little beach. Come on. That's-That's really weird, huh? Oh, we love you. I thought it was really ironic that the turtle, that represents, like, mother and goddess and, like, Native American culture, and, that like, this is the island where three women, you know, are living on. It just to me, it just seemed really significant. I mean, they're just, like, such a symbol. Like, the turtle is Mother Earth. Even more specifically, North America is called Turtle Island. >> Courtney's kind of just so out there. She had all this symbolism for a dead sea turtle. To me, it's just a turtle. I cannot fake that I'm, like, deep into this. >> Should we just... >> I don't... I don't know. I'm thinking about high tide, just, like, rolling her back in the ocean or something. >> Rolling it back in the ocean? >> Yeah. >> I think Courtney... she overdramatizes things, I believe, which is not needed. We need to, you know, build a shelter, catch food, build a fire. >> Oh, my gosh. It just freaks me out, man. >> There's so much to do and so little time to do it. (birds singing) (grunting) >> All right, Bruce. (grunting) >> Some I already cut. >> Awesome! >> We're feeling really good because we got our fire and boiling water. You see any other smoke on any of the other islands? >> Let's make a rally up into the thing and get some really dry wood, 'cause we're putting wet wood on the deal. >> Okay. >> We're stoked. We're Older Guys, and we're into this, and we're doing the Boy Scout thing right now. That's the best-smelling stinking fire I've seen in a long time. When people come over here, if they do, they're going to see a roaring fire, and they're going to see some shrimp on the barbie. >> Can I trust you? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I'll never lie to you. >> Okay. >> And I expect you to never lie to me. >> I'll shake on that. >> Yeah? >> Yeah. >> All right, we'll never lie to each other. >> No matter what. >> All right. >> Really? >> Yeah. So... >> That's awesome! >> Yeah. >> Well, I did do, do a little white lie to you. You know I am, you know, I'm an American Airlines pilot... >> Yeah. >> ... but I-I didn't want people knowing the military thing. Uh, yeah, I flew F-14s. Aircraft carriers. >> Terry's a great guy. I found out he was a military pilot, flew F-14s. My background is that I retired from NASA as an astronaut. There are some similarities between the expedition to space and the expedition to a deserted island. The teamwork concept is very much alive on this island. >> By the way, I'm getting chewed to death right now. I don't know if they're in the sand, but... >> Let's get all these back first, and don't waste a lot of energy on one. >> We're coming! >> I already want to start calling people out because they're moronic. >> Come on! >> I'm with the older guys, so the older guys, I don't really fit in with them all that much, and they just want to work all the time, and I'm exhausted. I haven't had a cigarette. You know, I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day for 20 years, and I haven't had a cigarette in like, 31 hours. I mean, I'm just at the end of my rope. I'm fried. Yo, man, we also got to stop worrying about hurting people's feelings at this point. Like, we're here. All four of us don't need to get the water. All four of us don't need to head to the path to find the mud chute. >> You're right. >> Like... I'm, we're all capable. >> You betcha. >> (whistles) Do you have the machete? I left it there. >> What's Daffy Duck doing over there? What's he doing over there? I am not in a good spot, man. I've got to get through this detox for sure, the cigarette stuff. It's... I can't lash out at anybody. I can't, I can't, I can't. It is unbelievably hard. And I've been here a day. >> Woo-hoo! (thunder rumbling) >> Spending the night on Exile Island was my worst nightmare. I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm really, really, really thirsty. Protein... My tribe mates, the three of them hopefully are doing better than me, so they're strong for our next immunity challenge. But, uh, I definitely feel at a huge disadvantage. And I'm the first one voted off should we not win. So, I have been digging around, because Jeff mentioned that whoever finds the immunity idol on Exile Island doesn't have to tell anyone else. Well, I think that's going to be a huge advantage, and I definitely want to use it. So when I see my tribe mates at the next immunity challenge, I'll trick them into thinking that I found the immunity idol. >> Come on in, guys! We'll now ing in Misty, returning from her stay on Exile Island. >> How you guys doing? >> How's it going? >> So, Misty, how's Exile Island? >> It's been lonely, but it has its advantages. >> What advantages does Exile Island have? >> Well, you told us there was an immunity idol in there, and you told us where it was, so... >> So you spent a little time looking for it. >> Enough. >> Okay, well, in this game, there is nothing more powerful than what? >> Immunity. >> Immunity. This is what you're playing for. >> Yeah, baby! >> Yeah! >> This is the immunity idol. There are three pieces to it because at today's challenge, three tribes will win immunity. The losing tribe goes to Tribal Council tonight, the first person will be voted out of this game. Today's challenge is going to test you physically. It is also going to test you mentally. Here's how it works: all four tribe members will start on the dock. On my go, climb up and over a barrier, swim out to your raft. The raft is attached to a clip underwater. Once you've released the raft, start paddling to shore. You'll then race up the beach where you have to solve a ainteaser. Your goal at the ainteaser is to release a metal ring from the rope. Buried in the sand is a diagram to help you. Your dilemma is whether you choose spend the time digging that diagram up or solving the puzzle on your own. Once you release the metal ring, you'll toss the ring out, retrieve a grappling hook. When you pull on the grappling hook it drops a flag. The first three tribes to drop their flag win immunity. Losing tribe, Tribal Council. Make sense? >> Yeah. >> Swim out, we'll get going. Here we go, for immunity, survivors ready! Go! Up and over, one at a time. Everybody over. Tina inging it up for the older women. Now you've got to get down and unhook those rafts. >> Go! >> Older men are the first ones free. Younger women right behind. >> Oh, my God. >> Older women cannot get their rope released. Younger guys having trouble with their rope. Older men having a little bit of trouble paddling now. Younger women staying calm. The older women have released their boat! Younger guys still trying to get that rope free. Everybody following the lead of the younger women. Young guys in serious trouble. Still cannot get it free. They're swapping out. Young women doing a good job. Older men making progress. Older women have it going on. Younger guys have their rope free. All four tribes paddling to shore. >> Back, paddle back, backwards, keep going backwards, you're steering us. >> Got it. >> Young women are first back to the beach. Moving on to the ainteaser. Older men, right behind. Trying to free that metal ring. >> Here we go guys, let's do this. >> Both tribes are putting two people on the puzzle and two people digging. >> Here, we've got to get the green rope out from here. >> Let's see if we can get through this. >> The older women are now in it. Younger women have found the diagram. Young guys in serious trouble. Younger women making progress. Melinda watching them. While Cirie, Ruth-Marie, and Tina dig. Younger guys finally in. >> Hold on. >> Young guys are moving on to the ainteaser. >> This around, this around. >> Tina, Ruth-Marie, Cirie still looking for the diagram. Melinda trying to get a clue, not digging. That could be costly. Young women have figured it out! Young women are close. That could do it. Yank on it. They've got it. Younger women have immunity! >> All right! >> Whoo! >> 12 people still out here. You just don't want to be last. >> I got it! I got it! >> Dan has the clue for the older men. Younger men have the diagram. The older women have it. >> Lift both rigs up, both rigs up. >> Hold it, let me look, let me look. >> Austin's bleeding. Nick is bleeding, and they're nowhere closer. >> It's out, it's out, it's out! >> Older men have their ring free. Catch that hook, and you've got immunity. Bruce hooks it on his first shot! Older men win immunity! They are safe from Tribal Council. Down to two tribes, one immunity left. Older women, younger guys. >> This has to be straight. >> ...And up and over it. >> Look it, we're one twist away. >> Yeah, we've go it, we've got it, we got it! >> The guys think they're making some progress. And they have. The guys have solved it. Older ladies, you better kick it into gear. This is about over. >> But look at this though, this is step number two. >> You got to toss it over that grappling hook. No. Older women still in it. >> Go, keeping going, keep going. >> Down to two tribes. Somebody going to Tribal Council. That could do it! Younger men win immunity! Older women going to Tribal Council. >> (cheering) >> Young guys, I don't know how you pulled it out. You got immunity. Older guys, you've got immunity. Because the young women finished first, you get the bulk of the idol. Maybe it has a little more spiritual power. The older women came up short. Tribal Council tonight, one of the four of you going home. You have the afternoon to figure out who that's going to be. Head on back to camp. >> Tina, I'm thinking about getting water. >> Go ahead and get water. >> Are you good with that? >> Yeah. Water and wood in a minute. Well, we lost the challenge, and, uh, someone has to go home now... from our tribe. I'm really nervous. I don't feel like I'm the most physically fit person on the tribe. I don't want to be the first one to go home. >> Well, we're going to go get water... >> (crying): I wrote this in the sand for my son. Charlie was killed in a car accident just around four and a half months ago. And he was just 16 years old... and he was my only child. I am sad... because I miss him. But I would like to keep that to myself for now. So, I will come and talk to him once in a while... alone. >> ...in any challenges? And she said, Well, no. So, I mean... >> I don't like to say that I'm gunning for anyone, but I don't want to go home. So I'm going to try to get rid of the lumberjack lady. >> And I think Tina's starting to aggravate her, just a little bit. Because she was like, I mean, I really like her, but she is kind of loud. >> Whoa! That's a fish. That thing is eathing. Oh, my God. Obviously, with the tide going out, he must've got caught here, and he's going to become... (screams) You little... Ow! He's a little son of a gun. Big one! >> Are you lying? >> I'm not. >> How did you catch a fish? >> With my bare hands. >> Oh, my... >> Are you lying? >> Oh, my gosh! >> Okay, now, um, how do we want to cook it? >> Don't we need to fry it? >> Yeah. >> I mean, skewer it. >> We can do it however you want to do it. >> There are a hundred reasons to keep Tina. She's a workhorse. She caught a fish today. I mean, honestly, there are a gazillion reasons to keep her. >> Let's go clean it. >> We're going to fry him up. >> I do think that Cirie's the weak link right now. >> Do you want to do it? Go ahead and do it. >> That's a big fish, you guys. >> Slippery sucker. I scaled the fish. It's almost like everything that I do is kind of like to ensure to Ruth-Marie and Melinda that we'll be okay without the lumberjack lady. And I hope it's working out. >> Behind each of you is a torch. Go ahead and grab a torch and approach the flame, dip it in and get fire. This is part of the ritual at Tribal Council because, in this game, fire represents your life: as long as you have it, you're still in the game; when your fire's gone, so are you. Take a seat. Well, welcome to Tribal Council. Not where you want to be. Melinda, been out here three days. Tougher than you thought? Less tough than you expected? No, I would say that I'm currently in Panamanian Hell, right about now. I mean, this is, by far, the hardest thing that I've ever done in my entire life. And it's because it's all-encompassing. It's mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, I mean, that's why it's so difficult. You should try it. >> It that right, Cirie? >> Absolutely. I've never lived outdoors. I've never even slept outdoors. So, for the people at home that are like me, on the couch, stay on the couch. (laughter) >> I completely agree. >> Seriously, it's totally crazy to me. But now that I'm here, I want to do more. >> How you doing, Tina? >> I think I'm doing well. I think it's been exciting to be out there. And I knew it was going to be very difficult, but, um, I'm pretty confident in what I know how to do. And I've been living outdoors all my life. Ruth-Marie, that's got to be a little comforting to have somebody on your tribe who feels very comfortable in the outdoors. >> Very much so. It's been wonderful. We have someone who had those abilities and took charge. And I think we did a good job of saying, you know, let her take the ball, run with it, and we'll try to fill in the gaps. >> Cirie, it's starting to sound like, in some ways, Tina is leading you through these first three days. >> Yeah, you can say that. She... kind of took that position. She did know how to start the fire. Um, she found the water. >> Those are two huge things. Starting fire and finding the water are gigantic. >> Well, if Tina didn't find the water, I'm sure one of the three of us could have found the water; and I believe we can start fire. She just stepped up and started doing things, so, I mean, what do you do, eak her arm, don't do that, don't start the fire? Don't go fish? >> Do you think these other three are pulling their weight? >> Um, not as much as I would like to. I have a really huge work ethic. But I feel like if I keep saying, let's get more firewood, let's go find a fishing spot, they're going to look at me as a bigger leader than I am, and then my head's on the chopping block. So I just go out by myself and work hard and have a good life. >> Melinda, any disagreement on that? >> Um, no offense to Tina, because she really has been out there working, but it's not like she's out there working and the three of us are taking a nap. I mean, all four of us are constantly doing something. It's just that we might not be doing the same thing Tina's doing. >> Okay, well, three days in, only four people; sadly, there is very little room to hide. One of the four of you is about to go home. It is time to vote. Melinda, you're up. >> I wish I could've learned more about you. We just didn't click. >> Somebody has to go, and your fear of leaves was my biggest factor because we have to go in the leaves too. >> I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote: Tina. Cirie. One vote Tina, one vote Cirie. Tina. Two votes Tina, one vote Cirie, one vote left. First person voted out of Exile Island. Tina, would you ing my your torch. Tina, your tribe has spoken. Time for you to go. >> Have fun. >> Well, you're only three days in to what all of you have agreed is already the toughest thing you've ever done, and yet, you vote out the one person who could make your life a little easier. Be interesting to see how it plays out. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on A twist on Exile Island raises the stakes. >> Ah... >> The pressure gets to Shane. >> There's no reason for me to be doing this. >> Shane wants to quit. Let him quit. >> And the storm moves in. >> This place eeds bad luck. (thunder crashes) >> I think the girls made a huge mistake, voting me out. I hope they do terribly. Working hard is what I do, and I think it worked against me on this one, but I would not have been able to change a thing, 'cause that's just who I am. That was really a great experience. I have no regrets. I was just with the wrong girls.
>> JEFF Previously on 16 castaways began their adventure as four tribes. This is Exile Island. Throughout this game, tribe members will be banished to this island. The tribes immediately faced off in their first reward challenge. >> Yeah. >> Let's get it on. >> The losing tribe will choose one person to stay behind on Exile Island right off the bat. In a race to find three amulets, the older men, the younger men, and the older women were all winners. The young women finished last and chose Misty to stay behind. >> All right, I'm here. >> And a secret of Exile Island was revealed. Hidden somewhere on this island is an immunity idol. Along the way, you'll be given clues as to the whereabouts of that idol. At the older women's camp, Tina emerged as a natural leader. >> Okay, here we go, kids. Starting a fire was highly successful. >> The young men floundered. >> That is the sorriest shelter I think we could have possibly come up with. >> And the younger women struggled with indecision. >> Are you feeling it? >> Next. >> I started to get a little bit frustrated with the whole, like, where we should do the shelter. >> The older men thrived >> That's the best-smelling stinking fire I've seen in a long time. >> And Dan, the astronaut, bonded with Terry, the fighter pilot. >> I'll shake on that. >> But Shane was on edge. >> I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day, and I haven't had a cigarette in, like, 31 hours. It is unbelievably hard. >> Alone on Exile Island, Misty toughed it out... >> I'm hungry. I'm really, really, really thirsty. >> ...and made a plan. >> When I see my tribe mates at the next immunity challenge, I'll trick them into thinking that I found the immunity idol. >> Misty returned to her tribe at the immunity challenge and helped the younger women make a comeback. Younger women have immunity. Older men win immunity. Younger men win immunity. Older women going to Tribal Council. Before Tribal Council, Cirie knew she was in trouble. >> I'm really nervous. I don't want to be the first one to go home. >> So she campaigned to have Tina voted out. >> Whoa! >> But when Tina found a fish, the decision was complicated. >> I do think that Cirie is the weak link. There are a hundred reasons to keep Tina. >> But at Tribal Council Tina ruffled feathers when she criticized her tribe mates. Do you think these other three are pulling their weight? >> Not as much as I would like. >> No offense to Tina, but it's not like she's out there working and the three of us are taking a nap. >> In the end, Cirie got her wish when the older women voted off their strongest member. Tina, the tribe has spoken. 15 are left. Who will be voted out tonight? Captioning sponsored by (theme song playing) (thunder) >> Yo, it's such a drag because shelter is somewhat useless because the way the rain is coming. >> Yeah, how could we have known? >> Uh, well, the update is that we're in a torrential downpour. And our canopy wasn't completely built, so we rushed to try and get the palm fronds on there, and we did it. The problem is that the rain is coming in from the other side now, so a little bit of bad luck. This place eeds bad luck. (thunder cracking) >> Okay, we're getting close. It's going out. >> That's no good. >> We don't have enough stuff right here. >> I feel like I want to hammer the freaking thing! (laughing) >> Oh, shoot. >> I got it. >> That's it, honey. Come on. Oh, it's ripe. Oh, we can eat this right now. >> Almost. >> It's going to be so good. That's just me stabbing it. >> You rock. >> Nice job, girl. >> Yeah! >> Whoo! >> I'm so happy. >> Ta-dah...! >> Mm, perfect. >> Cheers. >> Salud. >> Salud. Papaya love. >> Papaya love. >> Sisters de bayoneta, our first papaya. >> Savor it. >> I like it soft like that. It's really juicy. >> Okay, this is just... I'm like, wow! >> Mm... >> Mm... >> It's almost orgasmically wonderful, honestly. >> Yeah! >> It's so good. Oh, it's like heaven. I'm about to cry. We have food. >> It looks... it looks bad to the west, and it looks bad to the north. >> You know, I think about everything that I'm missing right now. I think about my kid. I think about, you know, it's football practice, and we have a game Saturday, and I miss him so much. I miss my kid a lot. I don't, you know, there's no... there's no reason for me to be doing this. Like, we are going... I mean, I more than enough money. I don't know why I did this to myself. >> I don't like you, sand flea. I don't like flea! >> This whole scenario is so different from the way that I live my life. Like, my life is very busy and it's always all the time, it's like constant, like ADD, you know what I mean, psycho boy. But I'm just... I have a real hard time with the nothing-to-do part. I mean, there's plenty to do, but it's monotonous, and it's hard. It's hard. No more torrential downpours, sir God! No more of those! >> Come on in, guys. You're getting your first look at the new group of older women. Tina voted out at the last Tribal Council. All right, let's get to it. Everybody take a spot on the disk. Men on the light disks, women on the dark disks. Your choice. Find one you like. Okay, everybody take a step back, flip over your disk. If you see a buff, pick it up. Terry, take a spot over here to the left. Danielle, over here to the right. Four tribes are about to become two tribes. Terry, you're the first member of La Mina. Danielle, you're the first member of Casaya. We're going to do a schoolyard pick. It doesn't matter who goes first. Because a man has to pick a woman, a woman has to pick a man. Therefore, ladies first. Danielle, you're choosing a man. >> The cool guy with the Boston tattoo. >> The cool guy. >> Shane, here's the buff, get rid of yours, put that one on. Terry, you're picking a woman. >> Okay, uh... green sweats. >> Sally. Here's the buffs. Shane, picking a woman. >> You're right there, little lady. >> Courtney, now a member of Casaya. Sally, picking a guy. >> I'll pick the fast guy, John Deere hat. >> Austin becomes a member of La Mina. >> Nice to meet you all. >> Courtney. >> Red shirt. >> Aras. Deep sigh of relief to be on a tribe. Austin. >> I'm going to go with Exile Island over there. >> Misty becomes a member of La Mina. >> Misty. Good to meet you. >> Good to meet you. >> Aras, you're choosing a woman. >> Cirie. Cirie? >> Cirie becomes a member of Casaya. >> Aras. >> Misty. >> Nick. >> Nick becomes a member of La Mina. >> Nice to meet you. >> Cirie, your choice. You're choosing a man. >> This guy right here. >> Bobby joins Casaya. Nick, your choice. You're choosing a woman. >> The young lady in the pink tank top. >> Ruth Marie becomes a member of La Mina. >> Nice to meet you. >> Bobby, your choice already been made for you. >> Red shirt. >> Melinda joins Casaya. (applause) >> I'm Bobby. >> Melinda. >> Okay, only one choice left. So, Ruth Marie, you are in effect, choosing your last tribe member, and also telling one of these two guys nobody wants him on their tribe. >> This young man right here. >> Thank you so much. >> Dan goes to La Mina. >> I'm Nick. >> Dan. >> Okay, so that leaves you, Bruce. >> My own tribe. >> How tough would it be four days in to be going home? >> I would be really disappointed because I came here to win. >> Well, not only are you not going home, you, out of all 15, are the only person guaranteed to be safe at the next Tribal Council. >> Yeah, thank you! Whoo! >> The next three days, you're going to be spending on Exile Island. You won't return back to this game until the next Tribal Council. At which point, you will sit in and listen. >> Oh. >> After that tribe has voted somebody out, you will replace that person as the new member of their tribe and be back in this game. >> Wow. >> In addition, there's still a hidden immunity idol that may or may not be out there. Theoretically, Misty could already have it. >> I'm ready for this. >> Go. The boat's out there. You'll have flint waiting for you, so you can make a fire. >> Go, Bruce! >> Okay, two tribes-- La Mina in orange; Casaya, wearing purple. Shall we get to today's reward challenge? (all agreeing) >> For today's challenge, you are going to race through an obstacle course, collecting six wooden snakes along the way. One member of your tribe is responsible for carrying all six snakes throughout the entire course. On my go, you'll make your way to the first station, where you will collect your first two snakes. Once you have those, you'll crawl under a fence, over a 12-foot A-frame wall. You'll make your way under the bamboo crawl, grab two more snakes. You now have one person carrying four snakes. You then go across a ladder idge. If you fall off the idge, you got to go back to the start and go again. For the last phase, you go through the water and into a pit of leaves, where you must find the last two snakes. First tribe to cross the finish line with all six snakes wins reward. You want to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah! >> Fishing gear. >> Beautiful! >> In addition, waiting for you at camp, one raft, four paddles to go with it. Should help you trying to get some food. Worth playing for? >> Yeah. >> Definitely. >> All right, let's take our spots. We'll get started. La Mina, who is going to be your snake wrangler? Nick. For Casaya, Courtney. Here we go, for reward. Survivors ready? Go! Both tribes pushing people up quickly. You've got to get the untied, and one person is carrying them. Danielle and Courtney have the first snake untied for Casaya. La Mina has their first snake. Sally has the second snake for La Mina. Both tribes have both snakes. Got to get everybody on the mat. La Mina, go! Casaya, go! Both tribes are dead even. When you have all seven over to the other side, you can go. >> Go, go, go! >> Go! >> Carry those snakes. That a way. Casaya, go! Two more snakes to collect on your way through. Both tribes pretty even. Both snakes are free for La Mina. Both snakes are free for Casaya. La Mina, go! Casaya, go! >> Take your time. >> Shane falls off, heads back to the start. This is going to be a challenge for the snake wranglers. It's a lot to handle. Nick's across. Move on! Courtney's across. Go! Last stage. We are neck and neck again. Two snakes left buried in the leaves. >> Got one! >> Terry's got his hands on one. >> Got one, got one, got one. >> Aras has a snake for Casaya. >> I got it, I got it! >> Dan's released the sixth one for La Mina. They've got 'em all. You got to get all six across the finish. La Mina wins reward! >> Yeah! >> Casaya, you guys worked well together. I don't even think you were out-hustled. You just loss. I got nothing for you. You're heading back to the Casaya beach, previously the older women's camp. Head on out. La Mina, nice effort, won yourself a nice reward. Come get it, head on out, heading to the older men's camp. >> It looks like a nice camp. >> Yeah, this camp is so much nicer than ours. We didn't stop working. I'm in a much better mood than I was this morning. I've always related better with younger people. I'm 34, but I'm definitely young for my age in the way that I think about life. When I was at the older tribe, I was thinking about every single minute about when I was gonna be leaving. Here I haven't thought about, you know what I mean, I haven't thought about leaving yet. >> Do you all want to see your new home? >> We have not been wet at all. >> I'm so impressed. Why? This is how we made ours. >> Wow! >> You see this, Bob? >> We can add a little bit more on this side to make it wider, maybe. >> How are the bugs? >> Not bad. >> You guys, this is definitely the best spot for that. >> You guys are awesome, man! >> It's so great. We're going to have fun. >> This is so much better. I'm so excited. >> Oh, my God. We have been invaded. >> Fire! Way to go, way to go, way to go. I like our name. I like our color. I like our people. First and foremost... >> I mean, some of the people, like Danielle, she's okay, and Courtney, like, I mean, you know, like, she, like... >> I'm, like... I'm, like, gangster Hollywood, man. I'm like near like Playboy, liquor and stuff. I'm, like, where the Hill starts to rise, you know? I can walk to Avalon. >> It's like that game where you have to figure out what doesn't belong in a group, and Cirie and I are the ones that stick out. >> it's so fun having so many more people. >> It's fun for me having girls around. I like having girls around. >> If our tribe loses the coming-up immunity challenge, I think Cirie and I are screwed. Yep, we're screwed. >> I just have to get the heat and now I'm happy. >> What? >> Yo, you, it's the three of us. It's the three of us and Aras. >> Totally. >> The four of us. >> Here's the deal. Can we not make it dramatic and like cheat on each other five people in, just the four of us go to the four, done? No more discussion about it. If I just can get through this part, which is the surviving, and do well in the challenges, we're going to be fine. I got on the beach, and I was right there. I was like here it is, you, you, you, you, let's lock in right now. You've just been welcomed into the group. I swear to you on my son's life... It's us four. >> Yeah, totally, 100. >> For Shane, the first five minutes we were there, he was just like, us four. me, Shane, Aras and Courtney. The people that don't talk and communicate and see what's going on and see how people are feeling and look people in the eye, they're the ones who get voted off. >> No way! >> Oh, my God! >> This is so awesome. >> This is really nice. >> Let's make sure we get some poles, though. I am thrilled with this outcome. It was a close call for me. I was the 15th guy picked, but Ruth Marie did pick me, and this was the team I definitely wanted to be on. >> Oh, fire! It feels so good. Thank you so much for letting us come here. >> Terry and I have a fantastic relationship and a strategy that's going to take us all the way. So it's great. >> Dan and I were talking that we'd like to make a bond with you guys, look each other in the eye, shake hands, and say, you know, we're going to do our best to get everyone to the merge, but if we have to start dropping people it's not going to be one of us four guys. >> It's in our best interest, probably. >> You have my word, you know, you have my word, definitely. >> What do you think? >> It makes a lot of sense. Terry just laid it out there. He said him and Dan are together and they want Austin and I with them. I think that him and Dan are both strong players, both in the challenges and around camp. >> It's done. >> Okay, thanks a lot, man. >> Trust you, and I need you. >> I trust you and I need you. If we're gonna do this, I need you. >> We're gonna do this, all right. >> It makes sense for the short term in the tribe. The four of us really have nothing to worry about with the majority over the three women. But, I don't know, you never know what's going to happen. >> So let's talk strategy for a minute. I talked to Misty a little bit, and we were thinking if the four of us stuck together, meaning you and Nick, we would have the numbers, and then it feels kind of even because it's you know, two girls, two guys, and we can figure it out from there, you know? We would definitely want to vote with you guys if you wanted to. >> Okay. >> So talk to Nick when you can. >> All right, I will. Cool. It is definitely Austin and Nick in the middle right now. We are right in the middle of a tug-of-war. It lets me know that this game is serious. This isn't just all fun and games. Somebody is going to have to get hurt out here. >> Clue one, day one. You also have a lot of time to think about why fate chose you to be the first one out here. Clue two, it is above the tide line. I read the clue. The clue just showed me a little section where the idol is not. Also it said it's above the tide mark. So I figured right against the cliff someplace. I'm going to be ripping this island apart, and I'm going to find that immunity idol. That's where I'm going to put most of my energy, after I get the fire set up. And it's a little bit miserable. Inconvenience, that's all it is. (murmuring) It's all worn out. (yells) >> My practice will really help me clear my mind, focus, get my mind ready, like for battle. And then I get my mind ready the same way to be on this island. >> This place is, like, horrible, evil... It's like not good to be here. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. (thunderclap) >> All right, I'm gonna go catch us dinner. >> Are you going to do the spear and the goggles? >> I never used one of those. >> I haven't either. We'll have to experiment with that a little bit. >> Yeah, let's play with it. >> At the reward challenge, we won fishing gear: spear gun, hooks, tackle, a couple of drop lines, fins and a mask and the raft. So it's pretty exciting. It will be nice to get out there and ing in some fish for everybody. Just point at the fish, hopefully, and there you go. >> That's kind of fun. >> Just remember to hold on to it. >> I saw some fish just right over there. Look at them! >> That's amazing. Should we toss in a line? >> Let's just see what it's like down here. >> Yeah, might as well. We've paddled enough. I was sitting on the edge of the raft, and I decided I'm going to try the spear, and I'm like, oh, this will be a practice shot. So you... Oh! >> Uh-oh. >> The first time I attempted to use that stupid spear, it flew off my arm, and I dove down, and it was so deep. >> Any sign of it? >> I should have stuck to what I knew. >> That's all right. Is it down 30, 40 feet, probably? >> I can't see anything. >> Don't, like, stress out. Don't, like, hurt yourself. >> Nick was cool about it. He was like just don't worry about it, but I was really nervous to come back and tell the rest of the tribe. I have some bad news. >> What? >> I lost that spear. It was so... it was stupid. >> Did it fall over or something or fell through? >> I'm so sorry. >> Did you try to go back with the mask? >> It was so deep, I couldn't get down there. >> We were out about 100 yards, probably 30, 40 feet of water. >> I was very frustrated about the spear. I have no doubt in my mind we would be eating tons of fish if we had that spear. >> I lost our spear. I feel terrible. >> Don't worry. We'll make... We can make one. >> Come on in, guys! Okay, how is everybody doing? Misty, how're you hanging in there? >> Pretty good. The good part about our team is we're all very upbeat. And that's kind of our rule: Don't get down and out; just be thankful and stay positive. >> Casaya, how are things going for you? >> I don't know how people want to feel about stuff, but I'm not gonna lie. We are in a dire situation. And you know, the whole like Ooh, let's act like we're doing all right, so the other tribe thinks we're... You know what I mean? Screw that, we are not in a good way. Physically, we're wrecked. >> Okay, let's get to today's challenge. Here's how it works: today's immunity challenge will test your ability to work together while transporting a giant zombie head from the ocean to the beach. Each tribe has a boat. That boat is anchored to the bottom of the ocean floor with a large wooden box. In addition, each boat has six holes, filled with rubber plugs. On my Go, five tribe members pull out the plugs and begin bailing the water that is now coming in the boat. The other two tribe members jump into the water, start moving the boat forward by pulling the anchor, which is very heavy. Once you get to shore, clip your boat into the hitching post. You must now transport the anchor up the beach to your finish mat. The first tribe to get their zombie head on the zombie body wins immunity, safe from Tribal Council. Losers, somebody going home tonight; big enough stakes? >> Yes. >> Swim out, we'll get started. For immunity... Survivors ready? Go! Aras in the water for Casaya. Bobby's right behind. Going to have to work together to keep that water out of the boat! Terry and Nick in the water for La Mina. Casaya's going backwards. Nick and Austin going to switch it up for La Mina. >> Bobby and Shane swapping out for Casaya. Shane made zero progress in the water. La Mina still in the lead but only because Casaya is absolutely inept. Casaya switching out members again. >> You take the back. I'll take the front. >> Casaya making up some ground. >> Go, let's go! >> Casaya getting closer. La Mina, got to pick it up! Terry pulling that anchor in. La Mina's first back to the beach. Casaya not giving up. Get that anchor to the shore. Get that boat clipped in. >> Pull! >> The boat is stuck. La Mina trying to muscle it in. Still a few inches short. Casaya starting to close the gap. Misty's got it clipped! The boat is done. Get the anchor to the finish mat. >> Pull. >> Come on, come on! >> Come on, hurry! (indistinct shouts) >> Casaya still has a shot. La Mina very close. (indistinct shouts) You're good. Get the head on the body for immunity. >> Get closer. >> You got it. >> La Mina wins immunity! (cheering) (muttering) La Mina, immunity. >> Whoo-whoo! >> No Tribal Council. Congratulations. Casaya, Tribal Council tonight. It's going to cost you a member. You have the afternoon to figure out who that's going to be. See you at Tribal tonight. >> Whenever there's a competition of any sort, I don't like to lose, you know, I just, uh, I hate to lose anything. I'm beat. I'm wiped-out. I want a cigarette. I want a coffee. I want to have a big sandwich. I want to call my kid. I want to tell him I love him and this is just the stupidest thing I ever did in my whole life. I am not well without him. I'm not well without him. >> Shane, what are you doing? >> It's not what I'm doing or what I'm not doing. I'm telling you, I can't finish. I'm gonna quit. I have to quit. >> Come on. >> It only gets better from here, we're gonna win food... >> Really, just give it a chance, please. Don't fall down on this moment. >> What's up? >> He's just not feeling so good right now. >> Emotionally? Physically? >> I just, you know, I don't want to be here anymore. Like, I really just want you guys to vote me off. >> That's nuts. >> We need you, man. I mean, you're dropping on us, too, you know that, right? >> I'm not dropping on you guys. >> Yeah, you are. Shane is letting us down completely. He's leaving us high and dry, and I just feel like he snapped today and threw in the towel. I mean, it's just like, come on, man, pick it up! >> Where is he? >> Just when we thought it was over, Shane wants to quit. h! You have people begging to stay here. If somebody wants to quit, let him quit. >> So you, basically this is what'll happen. You're gonna, you know, we're gonna be here. We're going to have water. And we're going to have food tomorrow, you'll be set. And we'll be eating not like a champion... >> I don't want to be here. >> Are you sure? >> I'm positive. I'm positive. I'm sorry. >> Shane, come back here. You-You know that thought was in your head. >> I just don't want to, like, if I get hydrated, and I get food... >> Just try it. Okay? >> Okay. All right. >> Just 'cause it's not like I can do anything. >> I know, but... >> We can just ing it up right now. Hey, guys, I hate to be the one to ing this up... >> Oh, no. >> But Shane wants to stay. He doesn't want to go home. >> I'm really sorry about my, like, insanity flip-flop today. It's like there's no reason why I shouldn't try and stay. I haven't had water in two days. It's like, if I drink, I might feel better in my ain and in my head, and I might want to stay, you know what I mean? So like... >> And so now we have to talk about who we're going to vote off. So, I'm... I just want to do this with honesty and like openness, and-and where I stand here is, like, I want our tribe to be as physically strong as possible. So, I think, like, for me, I per... and this is nothing against you two, either one, but I'm going to throw my vote either with you or you. And I haven't decided yet. Cirie, you're looking at me like you hate me, and I... >> No, I just don't... What do you want me... I don't know what to say about that. >> Well, since you just dropped this bomb on here, seriously... >> I just wanted... I just wanted to put it out there. >> Jason just dropped a huge bomb, like, boom! >> I don't want anyone to show up at Tribal Council and have their back stabbed. >> Aras literally came over to the shelter, not having spoken to anyone about what he was about to do, and he said, Cirie or Melinda are going to go home tonight. It was so stupid. And it was his decision. He just came over and was like, Boop! >> There's been an arrangement obviously made. What he said sounded insincere. I don't know what to tell you. Like, I don't care which one of you goes. You know what I mean? I just don't... Like, whoever doesn't go now is going next. >> And then Shane piped in, you know, that yeah, it's the four of us, like literally just said right out loud that we have an alliance. You don't let... You don't tell everyone what's going on. If this total instability continues, it's going to be very hard to know that he will be there for us. >> We're screwed. I think it's me. I think it's me, and whatever. There's nothing I can do right now. I'm going to stop... (mumbles.) >> I don't know who's going to go first. Cirie seems to think she'll go first, but I-I'm not so sure that it won't be me. >> I... I feel so awful. I don't like this. >> (crying): Yeah, there's a lot about it that's not fair. There really is. I was the last one picked of our group, so that's one reason that I think it might be me. And I'm not all, Ooh, meditative, cool, yeah. That's just not me. >> I mean, it's one or the other at this point. Cirie and Melinda are going to go one-two, whatever, you know. They're the first two to go. The thing I don't feel safe about is my ain giving up. Like, I have this part of me that wants to go into Tribal Council tonight and just say, Listen, cut me out, because I don't, I don't want to be here anymore. >> For those of you who don't have torches, there's one behind you. Go ahead and grab it and approach the flame, dip it in and get fire. This is part of the ritual at Tribal Council, because in this game, fire represents your life. As long as you have fire, you're in the game. When the fire is gone, so are you. We'll now ing in Bruce from Exile Island. During Tribal Council, Bruce is just listening in, trying to get a gauge of the tribe dynamics. Once the vote's over, he will join this tribe, go back to camp with you guys. Shane, you made no bones about it at the challenge today. You said, Jeff, I'm not going to pretend for the other tribe that everything's fine. It's miserable. >> Yeah, it's the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. Like I wanted to quit. I wanted them all to write my name down and I wanted to leave here because I couldn't get out of the mania of dehydration, not being able to eat, and on top of that, I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day, and quit the day I got here, so I'm in the midst of this insane withdrawal from that, and I was done. I wanted out of here. >> So is this like a detox for you? >> It's like, it's some kind of psychotic, bad-idea detox. (laughter) >> Cirie, let's talk about what's going on at camp life. >> I think for the most part, everybody was okay with everyone else, up until today. >> What happened today? >> Well, no matter how happy you try to be, it's hard to stay like that when you're told, It's us four, and that's basically what it was. And either one of y'all are going to go home today. It's hurtful. I mean, I'm human. >> Especially when I think in the challenges that we have competed together in the team. I don't think that there's anything that Cirie or I did or didn't do that they have point... that they could point out to and say, You should have done that better. >> So if it's you tonight, just the way it goes? >> No. I mean, I'm disappointed. I'm pissed. I'm... hurt. It bothers me when somebody even remotely had the thought to quit, and you have me here who is trying my best to stay. >> Cirie, if it's you tonight, six days is not bad. >> Six days isn't bad, but the disappointment that my family would have is bad. >> Why would they be disappointed in you? You're giving it your all. >> My family might not be disappointed, but I will be disappointed for them, because part of the reason I come... came here was to help them, so... They probably wouldn't be, um, disappointed... but I would. >> To me, this tribe seems a little all over the map. I'm curious to see how it plays out. It is time to vote. Cirie, you're up. >> (whispering): Shane, you made me promise that I would vote for you, and I don't go back on a promise. >> I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote... Shane. Shane. Two votes Shane. Melinda. One vote Melinda. Melinda. That's two votes Shane, two votes Melinda. Three votes Melinda, two votes Shane. Second person voted out of Survivor Exile Melinda. That's four, that's enough. You need to ing me your torch. Melinda, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. >> Take care. >> Bruce, drop your buff. Join your new tribe, Casaya. >> How are you doing? Yeah, other. Hey, other. >> Here's your buff. Grab your torches. Head back to camp. Good night. Captioning sponsored by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on >> I came out here to play the game. >> The La Mina women have a plan. >> is it working? >> I think it is. >> things get dirty at the challenge... (grunting and groaning) ...and sparks fly at Casaya. >> You're out of your mind, man. You are crazy! >> I want one! This one! I just want mine! >> I just found myself on the tribe that's like, Hey, man, yo, dude, what's up? And that's just not me. It won't ever be me, nor do I think I want it to be me, so I just wish Cirie luck because I know she didn't want to go back there without me. It's just going to be hell. But I'm going to have a shower, and I'm going to drink water, and I'm going to eat food!
>> JEFF Previously on >> No more torrential downpours, Sir God! >> Shane was unraveling. >> There's no reason for me to be doing this. >> Green sweats. >> In a schoolyard pick, the four tribes became two-- La Mina and Casaya. When Bruce was not chosen, he was sent to Exile Island and an unexpected twist was revealed. You are the only person guaranteed to be safe at the next Tribal Council. >> Yeah! Thank you! >> Well, go. Boat's out there. Then the two tribes competed for fishing gear. Survivors ready! Go! In a tough physical challenge, Nick helped carry La Mina to victory. La Mina wins reward! When the new Casaya tribe reached their beach, Shane wasted no time. >> Let's just the four of us, go to the four-- done! Shane, Courtney, Danielle and Aras formed an alliance of four. >> The people that don't talk and communicate, they're the ones that get voted off. >> At La Mina... >> You have my word. >> ...Austin and Nick were torn between the older men and the younger women. >> We were thinking, if the four of us stuck together, we would have the numbers. >> We are right in the middle of a tug-of-war. Somebody's gonna have to get hurt out here. >> And Sally lost the tribe's new spear. >> I have some bad news: I lost that spear. >> On Exile Island, Bruce toughed it out. (karate yell) (thunder crashes) >> This place is horrible, evil. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. >> At the immunity challenge, Terry lead La Mina to victory. Terry-- pulling that anchor in! La Mina wins immunity. Back at Casaya, Shane made a startling announcement. >> Hey, what are you doing? >> If somebody wants to quit, let 'em quit! >> But at the last minute, Aras managed to change Shane's mind... >> Just try it, okay? >> Okay. All right. >> ...and the focus shifted to Cirie and Melinda. >> I don't care which one of you goes, like whoever doesn't go now, is going next. >> At Tribal Council, Bruce returned from Exile Island and listened in as Casaya's emotions ran high. >> I was done; I wanted out of here. It's some kind of psychotic, bad idea. >> It bothers me when somebody, even remotely, had the thought to quit, and you have me here trying my best to stay. >> Despite her pleas, Melinda was the first person voted out of the new Casaya tribe. Melinda, the tribe has spoken. Bruce, drop your buff, join your new tribe, Casaya. Fourteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight? Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION (theme song playing) >> Welcome, Bruce. >> Bruce, welcome. >> Oh, thank you. >> At Tribal Council, we voted off Melinda, and Bruce, who had been sent to Exile Island came back and was inserted into Melinda's place in our tribe at the end of Tribal Council. >> Oh, it's close. >> You don't need fire right now. You want water or you want fire? You want water. >> Okay, you have a pot full of water, or bottles filled with old water... When I arrived tonight, I saw my new tribe, and I can see they all had good hearts and fought to get here, but they're all tired and lack of water. They didn't have fire. They really needed all my skills and knowledge. >> We just thought we were making a fire so we could boil the water, and we're gonna drink the water. >> No, you don't need to. >> What do you mean? >> So this is what we're gonna do: I need a... I've been teaching high school, 34 years, karate 40 years, and taught backpacking for 19. I know how to deal with different kinds of profiles of people, and there are some... six different profiles right here, let me tell you. We're going to filter water through three T-shirts, double-layer. It's going to be 90 pure water. >> Bruce is incredibly neurotic. You know, anytime anyone ings something up, Bruce has been doing it for 25 years and is certified and a teacher. I mean, of course, it grates on my nerves-- I just want him to shut up. But it's like I... you know, I gotta just let him do his thing. >> Bruce came through with this filtering system that somehow we all just believed. I don't even know if it's accurate. I mean, we just went for it. >> Oh, listen to that beautiful sound. We missed a lot but that's okay. >> So you really think... I mean, I have to tell you, I've also worked in wilderness and I'm shocked and awed that this method actually gets bacteria out of the water. >> It won't get all of it out, but... >> Yeah, it won't. >> Bruce told us about his filtration method, which he said makes the water 90 pure. And he was drinking it, and he was fine-- he survived. So we're a lot more powerful as a tribe with him in Melinda's place than we were. >> Okay. Now I watch out for you, right? >> Yes, Bruce. >> The tribe reacted to me with great joy. They thought I was a gift from heaven. They were just very ecstatic that I was there. This is the best bottle so far. I know that I was the last man picked. Now I'm emerging as the top of the tribe. >> Hey, guys, are we doing shells and everything? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> We've been eating very little. Some stew made out of snails and crab legs, but nothing much to speak of. >> So any gooey part's okay? >> I'm eating all of it. >> Is there water? Here, here's water. >> Oh, yeah. I'm not doing snails. >> We're just slowly going downhill. Another day or two, I don't know what kind of shape people are going to be in around here. Right now, I mean if we could catch a few fish a day, even two fish a day, we'd be a in a whole other ballgame. The equipment that we have for fishing is very old-school, very medieval, and the knowledge on our part is as minimal as it could be. He's on. He's on... He's on. Aw, shoot! Oh! >> Aw, no! >> That damn spear that Sally lost-- God, what we wouldn't give to have that thing back. How did you lose that spear? >> Yee-ha! Oh, he's a nice one. There we are, boys. It's fish. It's a puffer thing. It's kind of freaky. That is a freaky, freaky thing. Right around camp, the fish population seems to consist of nothing but poisonous puffer fish, which we've caught in droves. So it's not like we're not catching fish; we're just catching the ones we can't eat. To spend two or three hours out there, when you could be doing things around camp to help everybody, and you, like, come back empty-handed is getting really old. >> Yee-ha! >> Oh, there he is. Hey, that's a good little fat fish. >> Good job. >> Oh, thanks. >> Terry, the sole provider of this tribe came up with Nemo-- that's right, I'm talking a fish about yea big. We have applauded that fish as if he caught a 14-pound catfish. We were so excited about that damn thing, I don't even know how to talk about it. >> Come on, mama. >> Oh, you can feel the meat in here. >> Mmm. There was a lot of meat on that little guy, or maybe it just felt like a lot because we haven't had meat in so long. If we can catch a couple more of those every day, that would just be unbelievable. >> Potato on that. >> Yeah. >> La Mina, come on in. Casaya, come on in. La Mina, getting your first look at the new Casaya. Melinda voted out at the last Tribal Council. Bruce joined the tribe, returning from Exile Island. So, you guys physically look better. >> I feel a hell of a lot better. >> We've got Bruce with us... >> Bruce is a savior. >> How is Bruce the savior? >> The first thing we noticed was the, you know, the upbeat attitude. You can't help but feel better from being around him. Plus, his knowledge took a lot of the, uh, the actual effort and expenditure of energy off of us, because he was willing to take the lead on everything. >> You guys ready to get to today's challenge? >> Yeah. >> Let's get it on. >> It is for reward, and here's how it works. Three tribe members will be the launchers. Each launcher will get two shots per round, the other four tribe members will stand on a balance beam over the water. On my Go, one tribe member will launch a ball; the other four will try to catch it. You can jump off the balance beam to catch the ball, but if you go in the water, you got to come up with the ball in order to score a point. First tribe to five wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah. >> You're gonna want this stuff. Tarp, lanterns, some fuel, couple of blankets, some pillows, jerry cans for water, and some rope. That's for the winners. >> Excellent. >> For the losers, one tribe member will be sent to Exile Island. Big enough stakes? >> Yeah. >> All right, La Mina, who's gonna be the three launchers? >> Me, Dan and Ruth Marie. >> Misty, Dan, Ruth Marie will be the launchers, the other four will be on the perch. Casaya, who's gonna be the three launchers? >> Bob, Bruce and Cirie. >> Bob, Bruce and Cirie will be the launchers, the other four will be the catchers. Let's get going. First shooters... >> All right, Bob. >> ...Bobby and Misty. Ready... aim... fire at will. Terry scores for La Mina! >> Nice one! >> Come on, Bob. That's good, Bobby, that's good, Bobby, get it! Aras, get... >> Oh, Aras gave it a shot. Misty and Bobby, taking their second shots. La Mina leads, one, zero. Ready, aim, release. Bobby in the air. Aras makes a great catch for Casaya. >> (cheering) >> Terry can't handle it, but Nick does. >> (cheering) >> La Mina leads two, one. That fell right into your lap. A lot of luck for La Mina. Nice work for Casaya. Here we go, next two shooters. Dan and Bruce. Take your spots. La Mina leads, two, one. Ready, aim, and release. >> Hit it! >> Bruce right on target, Danielle with a great catch for Casaya. Terry comes up with the third point for La Mina. La Mina leads, three, two. Bruce trying to catch Casaya up. Dan looking to put them ahead. Ready, aim, release. Shane makes a leap and comes up with it. La Mina's ball sails long, and we are tied, three, three. Next shooters. Cirie up for Casaya. Ruth-Marie launching for La Mina. >> Go, hot mama! >> Take your spots. >> Back a few inches, back... see back on Bruce, right there? >> Cirie getting some help from Bobby. >> There you go, right there. >> Ready, aim, release. Ruth-Marie hits nothing. >> Get it! >> Shane with another nice catch for Casaya. >> Yeah! >> Casaya is on a roll. >> Great catch, Shane! >> (cheering) >> Casaya now leads four, three. Ruth-Marie, Cirie, take your spots. Casaya could win it right here. Ready, aim, release. Both balls in the air. Terry makes it. Unbelievable catch! Aras can't handle it. We're tied four, four. This next point could do it for either tribe. Nobody wants to go to Exile Island. For reward, here we go. Misty and Bobby. >> Come on, Bob. >> Ready, aim... release. Misty is in the air, it's blowing hard. Terry has it! Shane can't come up with it for Casaya. La Mina wins reward! >> Yeah! >> (cheering) >> Great catch! >> Woo! >> Woo! >> Here's how it's going to work: Casaya, one of your tribe members is now going to Exile Island. They will return for the next immunity challenge. La Mina, as winners of this challenge, this time you decide who you want to send to Exile Island. >> We have to decide...? >> We have to send Bruce. >> Oh, my God. Oh, my God. >> Yeah. >> All right, La Mina, who is it going to be? Who are you sending to Exile Island? >> They made a very detrimental move by telling us who ought back the team morale over there. Bruce, we're sending him back. >> These guys are playing for keeps, huh? >> So, Bruce, you will return to Exile Island. You'll come back to this game for the next immunity challenge. See you when you get back. Casaya, I've got nothing else for you. Grab your stuff, head on out. La Mina, reward is yours. Get it and head on back to camp. >> Sweet spoils, you guys. >> That's right. >> Oh, yeah. >> Very happy for that, kid. >> I know it's not food, but this is so awesome! >> The reward challenge, uh, this afternoon was won by La Mina, and what we got for it was a tarp, which basically reinforces the great shelter we've got already. We've got two huge canisters for carrying water. We got a couple of blankets, a couple pillows and we got kerosene, so we have constant fire. I'm really stoked for my team. It was a total team effort. It was great. >> It's not too short, you can get, and-and you know, you need to extend over the sides a little bit, too. Yeah, there you go. Fortunately, the shelter was designed for a tarp, so it went up and over pretty easily. >> Nice. >> We have a nice domed interior, as opposed to a slumping interior, so there's lots of space inside. Check it out. >> Sweet! (thundering) >> Our tarp came just in time for the big rain that just started pouring down. It was torrential. I mean, it was coming down hard. >> Yeah, have a moment for him. >> That guy is so hurtin'. The decision to send Bruce to Exile Island was a tough one, but he is an asset to that team, and without Bruce, we think they're not gonna be up on their feet as they should be. So, um, we made a tough call, and, uh, I wouldn't want to be him. (thundering) >> Did you guys boil that water yet? >> It's on right now. >> We lost the challenge, and the other team chose Bruce to go to Exile Island, which I thought was one of the most evil things I've ever seen people do. It doesn't have that much grip. I don't know if this is going to work. I mean, to lose the reward, and then to deal with losing Bruce in that way, it just put us all on a downer, and it's like the last thing we need right now. >> That's your time-out stone. >> It's mine for the rest of the, please actually, could no one else sit on my thinking seat, please? >> Why does it have to be yours? >> Because I picked it! You want this one, I'll go get another one! I want one! This one! >> Okay. >> If you want this one, I'll go get another one! I just want mine! This one! >> I think the problems in our tribe are inherent in the personalities. I'm in an alliance with three nutballs, I feel like, at this point. >> It looks like it's going to fall. >> I know. >> Can we just adjust it? >> Well, I want to but I'm just trying to figure it out. Shane, what do you think? >> I don't know, you got us here, so I left it up to you. You got us here. >> I know, I asked for your help so we could work together, but it's all right. >> With Courtney and Shane, it's always something. The funny thing is these are the people that you guys decided to align with, and now you hate each other, so how stupid is that? >> Can I do this? >> Please, oh, I'd love it. That would make me so happy. Thanks, please. I don't think it's strong enough. You do? Go ahead, go ahead. >> You're out of your mind, man. You are crazy. >> I'm just sharing an opinion. Will you relax? I just... I don't know what his problem is. I'm, I'm not kidding. This is, like, not even funny right now. I-I did nothing. Did I just do anything wrong? >> Don't worry about it. >> I can't even say anything, of advice or anything. I just wanted his help. I'm feeling really frustrated right now. I don't know, I feel like Shane needs to, like, get his angst out on something or someone, and he's chosen me. I'm really bummed about the situation. >> Just let him go. >> Well, I don't like to be the one that he's decided to pick on, with his mood. >> Courtney is a lunatic, and I'm trapped with her because I made a commitment on my son's life that I would stay with her. I just don't know how to get right with her. >> With you two and us two kind of watching each other's backs, I think we can go really far. >> Yeah. I'd like to be with you all. >> Cool, 'cause we like you. >> Sounds like a plan I'd like to work out myself. >> Let's do it. >> Sally has been really working hard on trying to get Nick and Austin to kind of pair with us, 'cause it seemed like there might be a little bit of a boys' club going on around here. Would you like your shoulders rubbed? >> Yeah. >> Okay, just sit there. Oh. I'm a natural flirt. That's something I just enjoy doing. Some people are born with it. (laughs) I would flirt to help get ahead. I didn't come out here to sit on my rump. I came out here to have a good time and play the game. >> Amazing, right this second. >> I think Misty is such a smart girl, and I think she comes across in this just, like, nice... Like, I want to massage everybody. But you know there's a little extra something going into Austin and Nick's massages. >> Is there a teacher, Misty, or is this just your natural, evolved method? >> It's my natural, evolved method. Is it working? >> I think it is. >> Okay. >> We work well together, 'cause she has, like, that southern, kind of flirty charm, and I'm just, like, the pal, you know? Like, What's up, guys? Let's hang out. I think between the two of us, we're doing okay. >> Look, man, if we get into this four strong into the merge, we're already ahead. Then can we pretend like we're weak-- Oh, weak ladies. We just want to go as far as we can. I mean, I don't think it's going to come to that, 'cause they're smart guys, but... >> You're so cute. I mean, you're, like, Come on. We're just little girls. >> We're just little girls. >> We just want to get as far as we can. >> I am in a position that I didn't necessarily want to be in. I'm the one that everybody's kind of come to, saying, Hey, we really trust you. Um, we need you on our side. It could be construed as very dangerous to align yourself with strong guys, especially when I have two girls who seem to really trust me and-and think that I'm a really good guy. >> How are we doing here? >> Good job. >> My goal is to keep working on Austin and to keep, you know, showing him that as much as possible, Terry is a power player, and he's going to have a huge mark on his back, and it might be wiser for those guys to align themselves with us in case they make it to the merge. They're going to need us. We'll see what happens. >> Come on in, guys! We'll now ing in Bruce, once again returning from Exile Island. >> Boy, Bruce! >> Let's go. >> Bring it back. >> Nice to have you back... >> You guys ready to get to today's challenge? >> Yeah! >> First things first. Dan, say good-bye. Immunity, back up for grabs. Today's challenge is going to be a physical, head-to-head battle. There are five circles in the sand. Buried within each circle is a bag. On my go, you'll race out to the circle, dig and find the bag, and then get back to your finish mat. That's where it's going to get physical. Both tribes will be battling for the same bag. To score, you got to have at least one hand on the bag while any part of your body touches the finish mat. First tribe to three wins immunity. Losers, somebody going home. The matchups will vary from round to round. Drop your gear. We'll get started. All right, here we go. First round is two women taking on two women. It's going to be Cirie and Danielle taking on Sally and Misty. For immunity, survivors ready? Go! >> Go, go, go! Go, go, go! >> Got to find the bag and get it back to your mat. >> Good, Cirie. Stay there. Be ready to knock 'em down. >> Stay there, Cirie. >> It's getting physical quickly. >> Danielle, push Misty down! >> Misty and Danielle getting into it. >> Keep her down, Danielle! >> I see it. >> Sit on her, Cirie. Sit on... Cirie. >> Cirie sitting on Sally now. >> They found the bag. Danielle has it. >> Cirie, go help! >> Cirie gets up and lets Sally go. Cirie takes Misty down. >> Cirie! >> Cirie's got it. Now it's Cirie and Sally. >> There you are, Misty. >> Misty doing her best to take it from Cirie. >> There you go, Misty! >> Nobody giving up. Everybody fighting hard. >> That's a cross right, Sally. Excellent. >> Danielle trying to get free of Sally. Danielle shoves Sally down. >> Help her out! >> Come on, D., get it! Get it! >> It's a free-for-all on the bag again. (all talking at once) Danielle has it. Misty's down. Cirie wants it! (indistinct, overlapping chatter) Cirie's got to touch the mat and the bag! (cheering) Casaya scores first point! >> Yes! Yes! >> Next round is two men taking on two men. Got Nick and Terry taking on Bruce and Bobby. Survivors ready? Go! Bruce tries to tackle Terry and Nick. It doesn't work. Bobby throws Terry out of the way. Bruce working on Nick. Very physical very quickly. Terry and Bobby going at it. >> Terry! >> Get him, Bob! >> Okay, Bobby, it's here. >> Nick has position. >> Use that karate, Bruce! (groans) >> Okay, Bobby, get up now! >> Bobby, get up. >> Come on, Bobby! >> Terry is not letting Bobby move. Nick has the bag, and he's free. >> Get him, Bob! Get him, Bob! >> Nick's got it! (whooping and applause) La Mina scores. We're tied, one-one. Next round is two men, one woman. For Casaya, it's Shane, Courtney and Aras. For La Mina-- Austin, Ruth Marie and Dan. Survivors ready? Go! >> Go, Aras! >> Get him, Courtney! (grunts) >> Shane tries to take out Dan, but Dan fighting back. (grunts) Shane tosses Dan down hard. >> Oh, Aras! >> Austin and Aras. Aras has the bag quickly. >> Go, Aras! >> Austin takes him down. The bag was found fast. Shane and Dan are out of it. Ruth Marie getting in on it. >> Shane, help... >> Aras trying to get it to Shane. >> Shane, help him. Shane! >> Shane has it. It's Shane and Austin! >> Come on, Shane! Come on! >> Ruth Marie and Courtney are out of it. Aras and Dan are out of it. >> Keep him there, Danny! Come on! >> One on one, Aus. Let's go! >> Shane, inch by inch, getting closer. >> You got it, Shane? >> Come on, Aus! Come on, Aus! >> Way to go, Shane! >> Now Austin pulling Shane back toward the middle. Could go either way. >> Austin scores for La Mina! (cheering) >> Next round, two women, one man. Courtney, Cirie, Aras taking on Sally, Misty and Nick. We're playing to three. La Mina leads two-one. Survivors ready? Go! >> Take your time now. Take your time. >> Oh, they're relaxing. You relax. Don't use energy. >> Different strategy this time. Everybody taking their time. Everybody watching everybody. >> Okay, Aras, come here. >> Cirie found the bag. Nick's pulling it up now. Aras pulling Nick out. >> Run, Courtney! >> Courtney's got it if she can get free. >> Come on, Courtney! Pull, Courtney! You got it! >> Nick will got give up the bag. >> Come on, Nick! Get up, buddy! >> Aras trying to steal it. >> Come on, Aras! >> Aras, fight! >> Misty, take out Aras! >> Misty trying to take out Aras, and she does. (overlapping chatter) >> Nick! >> All six in on this. One big game of Twister. >> Stop choking me! >> Misty, watch the choke. Don't make me call it. No choking, guys! Watch the kicking. >> Cirie, pull Misty. Push Misty back! >> Cirie tosses Misty off. >> Aras, ing me the bag! >> Aras using some little yoga move. Aras has the bag! >> Bring me the bag! I told you to ing me the bag! (cheering) >> Casaya scores. We're tied, two-two. (whooping) We are tied. This is the final round. It's going to be one man and one woman from each tribe. It's going to be Bobby and Danielle taking on Ruth Marie and Terry for immunity. This is it. Survivors ready? Go! >> Go, Bob! Go, Bob, go! >> Terry, keep your eye on Bob! >> Danielle picks up Ruth Marie... (indistinct shout) >> ...and drops her. >> Oh! (Terry grunts) >> Bob, get Terry! >> Throw him! >> Bobby trying to move Terry out of the way. >> Come on, Bobby! >> Bobby pulling the bag out. Bobby's got it. Terry almost had it free. >> Danielle, grab the bag! >> Danielle with a hand on the bag now. >> Get it, Bob! >> Terry's got the bag. Bobby trying to take him down. Terry not going down. Bobby grabs him! (indistinct shouting) Takes him back down again. >> Which one? >> Terry hands off to Ruth Marie. >> Hey, Ruth Marie! >> She's got to outrace Bobby, who is lagging behind. Ruth Marie getting closer. Bobby grabs her. He's dragging her to his mat. Bobby wins it for Casaya! (cheering) >> Bobby! >> Oh, Bobby! >> Yeah! >> Casaya-- safe from Tribal Council. Nobody going home. La Mina, you'll get your first visit as a tribe to Tribal Council tonight. Somebody going home. You have the afternoon to figure out who that's gonna be. Head on out. >> That was... guys, we gave it... we did everything we could. >> Losing feels terrible, but today's loss was hard. It was hard because it was physical, and we gave it everything we had, and it was close. They have so much more weight than we do. >> Yeah, that was tailor-made for them. >> It totally is a bummer. My goal was to ing this tribe intact to the merge, and now we got to make a tough decision. I'm bummed that we've got to lose one of our tribe mates, but the game moves on, and there's always tomorrow. >> Dan and I, as soon as we got the two younger guys, we got on them quickly and came up with who we're going to have to vote off tonight. And the plan at Tribal Council tonight is to vote off Misty. She's an engineer. She's smart as hell. And she could cause some trouble. >> I would look at it personally and say Ruth Marie or Dan. I love Ruth Marie, but I just think down the road, as far as contribution, like Dan might not be the fastest guy, but look at him today, he did awesome. And he's so illiant. He's so illiant. >> I can't vote for Dan. >> Good, then that's easy. >> Yeah. >> If I take myself out of it and I say who is going to, like, who is going to contribute the most in all areas, Dan is high up on the list. >> Yeah. >> Ruth Marie is pretty weak right now. I mean, she's struggling. Like, she's been struggling for a couple days. Right now, I think it would be most advantageous to us as a tribe, and also to myself, for it to be Ruth Marie. (Dan sighs) >> You got thrown between a rock and a hard place, didn't you? >> Yep. >> Yeah, it happens to me every day, o. My two options I have, personally-- and when I say personally I'm linked to Nick-- we could either go with Sally and Misty, or we go with Dan and Terry. I have the makings right now to get all the way to where I want to be in this game because of the way that I'm aligned. >> For those of you who don't have torches, grab a torch, approach the flame, dip your torch in, and get fire. This is part of the ritual at Tribal Council because in this game, fire represents your life. As long as you have fire, you're in the game. When your fire is gone, so are you. So, catch me up. Terry, eight days out here, compared to the experiences you've had in life, where does this rank in terms of tough? >> It's definitely up there on the physical side. On the mental side, not there yet, I'm sure it will be. And I'm ready for what comes down the road. >> How about you, Dan? You hanging in there? >> Oh, absolutely. There's certainly deprivation involved, and it's difficult to go many, many days without food, but the companionship is excellent. For strangers to come together and work together so well so fast, that's impressive. >> Sally, how about the first eight days for you? >> The first eight days for me have been everything I thought they could be. Other than the fact that I didn't think I would come in here and actually care about these people as much as I could in eight days. >> Austin, what's the food situation? >> The X factor, Terry caught a fish yesterday that was no bigger than this. But, man, when you haven't had any protein in days, that will do wonders for you. I am by no means a strong fisherman, and all we can catch are the puffer fish, which, those things are poisonous. So we just hadn't had any luck Jeff, it sucks. >> Well, what are you doing with the spear? >> We had a little incident with the spear. We, uh... the spear hasn't been much luck for us, let's just put it that way. >> Misty, looking at this tribe, it seems like, based on today, guys that are in pretty good shape. >> Oh, yeah. >> Is there a pressure from the women that, We have to live up to this? >> I think in any situation when you've got a mixed group like this, there's always a pressure that we've got to step up to the plate and play just as well as the men are. >> Do you truly think all seven people here are all playing for this tribe? >> I absolutely believe that, 100, wholeheartedly. And that's something I didn't expect coming into this game. I expected to have the little sects of people, you know, trying to pretend to pull together and make a team out of it, but we don't have that issue, we really are a team. >> So, Terry, if you really are this unified, how do you make a vote tonight? Are people coming here and making individual votes and we'll just see what happens? >> Obviously, there's been some talk. It's all part of the game to talk to different people on what their feeling is, and we all understand that someone has to go tonight. >> Ruth Marie, you're the only person in this tribe that came into this tribe without somebody. Did you feel that initially? >> I noticed that right away, Jeff, yeah, um... I'm definitely the odd man out. And it's a... it's a vulnerable seat to be in tonight. >> How about for you, Nick? Are you basing your vote on what you think? You basing it on a group? >> I'm basing my vote on probably more... with a group tonight. There's conversations in camp. There's strategy being plotted. So, yeah, I think tonight more than individually, I'm going with the group. >> Okay, there is one more thing to deal with, the hidden immunity idol. Misty, you're the only person from this tribe to go to Exile Island. If, after the vote, you have the most votes, that is when you would reveal whether or not you found the idol. Otherwise, it remains a mystery. Okay, it is time to vote. Austin, you're up. >> This is just team play. That's all. >> Misty, you're a smart girl. I wish it didn't have to be this way. >> I'm going with the strength of the tribe and we think that you're probably the least strong member of the tribe right now, and I'm very sorry. >> I'll go tally the votes. >> Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote... Ruth Marie. Misty. One vote Misty, one vote Ruth Marie. Ruth Marie. Two votes Ruth, one vote Misty. Misty. We're tied-- two votes Misty, two votes Ruth Marie. Misty. That's three votes Misty, two votes Ruth Marie. Third person voted out of Exile Island... Misty. Misty, that's enough votes. One question left: Did you find the immunity idol? >> No, I did not. >> You need to ing me your torch. Misty, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Well, based on what I heard tonight, it does seem like you're a very unified tribe. But as the vote tonight shows, even in the tightest of groups, somebody is always on the outside. Grab your torches, head on back to camp. Good night. Captioning sponsored by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on La Mina is on the verge of starvation. >> Ten days in and we really haven't had anything to eat. >> I figure we got about three more days before the entire tribe can't get out of bed. >> And at Casaya... >> What are you talking about? >> We're not going to have this discussion. >> ...friction rattles the alliance of four. >> Everybody here won't tell you, they're afraid to tell you the truth. >> Well, tonight was definitely a shock to me. I didn't expect it so soon, that's for sure. I was excited, and exuberant, and I thought we had a great thing going, so obviously I was outplayed and out-strategized. I had a good time out here. I met some great, great people, and I wish my tribe all the luck. I hope they go all the way.
>> JEFF Previously on Survivor, Bruce returned from Exile Island... >> We're going to filter water through three T-shirts. >> ...and became a new member of the Casaya tribe. >> The tribe thought I was a gift from Heaven. >> He's on. >> At La Mina... >> Oh, shoot! Oh! >> ...things were looking bleak. >> If we could catch a few fish a day, it would be a whole other ball game. >> The reward challenge was for camp comforts. Tarp, lantern, some fuel. And fire! Terry once again dominated. Terry makes an unbelievable catch! La Mina wins reward! This time, the winners had to send someone from the losing tribe to Exile Island. Who are you sending? >> Bruce. We're sending him back. >> And Bruce was banished for the second time in a row. >> Those guys are playing for keeps, huh? >> La Mina's new tarp kept them warm and dry, but Bruce didn't fare so well. At Casaya, Shane, Courtney, Aras and Danielle's alliance was strained. >> You're out of your mind, man. You are crazy. >> These are the people that you guys decided to align with. How stupid is that? >> I want one! This one! I just want mine! >> At the immunity challenge, Bruce rejoined his tribe for one of the most utal challenges yet, and Casaya battled their way to victory. (cheering) Back at La Mina, Dan and Terry schemed with Austin and Nick. >> Dan and I, as soon as we got the two younger guys, we got on them quickly, and the plan at Tribal Council tonight is to vote off Misty. >> But Misty and Sally had other plans. >> Ruth Marie is pretty weak right now. >> Could you vote for Ruth Marie? >> So Austin and Nick had a tough choice to make. >> We could either go with Sally and Misty or Dan and Terry. >> At Tribal Council, the men came together... >> Tonight, I'm going with the group. >> ...and Misty became the third person voted out. Misty, the tribe has spoken. 13 are left. Who will be voted out tonight? Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION (theme song playing) >> There you go. That's a freakin' flame. >> Last night, we went to Tribal Council and Misty was voted out, and the guys had said that the vote was going to be for Ruth Marie, so it seems I was the odd woman out and it kind of isolated me from the rest of the group. Is there anything that you guys need? >> We're going to need some wood. >> There are some big boys in that camp that are calling a lot of the shots, and all I can do right now is keep working hard and prove myself valuable. >> We need to talk a little bit. >> All right. >> Me and Terry and Nick and Austin and you. >> Thank you. >> What do you think? >> Yeah. >> All right. I've been thinking a lot about who should be the fifth person to take to the merge, and I thought that Ruth Marie was the one to go with. >> Well, I'm totally appreciative and I'm loyal. >> Yeah, well, that's why you're here. I don't think Sally feels like a part of this team, and I think when a merge comes, Sally will drop us like a stone, but with Ruth Marie, I think she'll stay with that group of five all the way to the end. >> All right. We have the numbers here. We got the four guys and stuff, and we're all four strong guys. >> Yeah, but when the tribes merge, we need a fifth. >> Right. >> And Dan suggested that it would be Ruth Marie. >> You know what? That's fine, that's fine. We've got a really strong alliance of the four guys and kind of a fifth right now is Ruth Marie. >> I'm pretty confident with the alliance that we have. Everybody has shaken hands on it and looked each other in the eye, so I have a good feeling that we have an alliance that will make it to the merge. >> That one. I got a good one. >> There are some big ones there. >> The sun comes out. Shane, myself and Bruce went and got snails. We got pounds of snails. >> Ready to go back in? >> As we're walking back, we look over and we see Courtney, and the problem is that I think some people on this tribe don't realize exactly what being on an island by yourself means. We haven't eaten today yet. >> Hello, ladies. >> You guys boil a pot of snails already? >> Where's D at? >> How is the fish? Sleeping. How is the fish? >> We got to talk about... >> Work. >> ...effort at camp. >> We came back with two bags of snails and the fire was like... And nothing was ready, and Shane and Aras, they'd just had it. >> Yo, Bob, Danielle. >> What? >> We all want to have a talk about camp responsibilities. We can't be out catching food for a whole day and then the onus of fire is on us. >> Honestly, that kills me to hear that because I'm constantly working, so I don't know. I think the whole question is kind of stupid. >> Shane, Courtney and Danielle-- I gave those people my word in the alliance, but if I had my druthers, I wouldn't want to be in the alliance with Courtney. I would almost lose it on purpose to get Courtney voted off because she just gets on my nerves. >> When we're eating, can we agree not to argue? >> I didn't do anything. >> No arguing during dinner. >> Things were planned and alliances were made, and I was told that I would be the one to go after Melinda, but it's just constant, constant drama. I love it, love it, love it. Yes! So my strategy right now is kind of just continue to work like I've been working and stay out of the drama. >> Come on in, guys. Casaya, getting your first look at the new La Mina tribe. Misty voted out last Tribal Council. All right, you guys ready to get to today's reward challenge? >> Yeah! >> Here's how it works: each tribe has six floating puzzle pieces. On my go, one tribe member at a time will swim out, dive down, unclip a puzzle piece, and ing it back to the puzzle frame. Once you have the piece in the puzzle frame, the next person goes out. Once you've collected all six of the pieces you need, you can start assembling the puzzle by matching the corresponding symbols on each side of every piece of the puzzle. The first tribe to get it together correctly wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah. >> Today you are playing for a full-on Survivor bathroom. >> Oh, yeah. >> Towels, loofah, some soap, plenty of Charmin. >> That's great. >> Hopefully help take the edge off. You'll have a sink, you'll have a toilet seat, you'll have a bush shower. You'll have five gallons of fresh water. Casa de Charmin will be delivered to the camp who wins this challenge. For the losers, one person will be sent from here to Exile Island where they will remain until the next immunity challenge. Make sense? >> Yeah. >> Let's swim out, we'll get started. Here we go. For reward. Survivors ready? Go! Sally and Bobby in the water. Looking for six pieces. Bobby at the first piece. Sally going for the first piece. Bobby goes down to unclip. Sally has hers. Bobby has his. La Mina pulling ahead. The hard part of this is getting the muscle to get it in the ring. >> There you go, there you go, come on. >> You got to muscle it up and inside that puzzle ring. >> Legs, legs, legs! >> Sally with a great strategy. >> Pull it, Bob! >> Bobby can't get it in the ring. You got to get it in the ring before you can move on. Go, La Mina! Bobby losing time for Casaya. Go, Casaya! Bruce in the water. Dan goes down to unclip. >> You got it, Bruce! >> Dan has his unclipped. >> Come on, Dan! >> Dan back with the second piece for La Mina. Bruce has a piece untied. He's coming back. >> Let's go, Bruce. Come on, now, Bruce. >> Got to get it in the ring. >> Go! >> Ruth Marie in the water. Bruce back with the second piece for Casaya. Danielle in the water. Ruth Marie coming back with the third piece for La Mina. Danielle going out wide. >> Ruthie, good job. >> Ruth Marie's got to get that in the puzzle ring. >> Good job, good job. >> Got to get it all the way in. Danielle making up a lot of time for Casaya. Got to get it all the way, La Mina. Go, La Mina! Nick in the water for La Mina. Shane, go for Casaya! We're neck and neck. Both tribes with three pieces. Nick, back quickly with a piece. Shane, back quickly with a piece for Casaya. We're neck-and-neck-- Nick and Shane. Gotta get it inside the puzzle. Go, La Mina. Austin in the water for La Mina. Shane's gotta get it in, the last bit. Courtney in the water for Casaya. La Mina with a bit of lead now. Austin tangled up, losing time. Courtney made up some time. We're neck and neck again. Austin back with the fifth piece for La Mina. Courtney back with the fifth piece for Casaya. Can't start solving the puzzle until all six pieces are in. Gotta get it in, Austin. You're not in. Austin thought he had it. Go, Casaya. Austin lost some time for La Mina. Terry in for La Mina. Both tribes looking for their last pieces. Aras goes down to unclip. Terry goes down for the final piece for La Mina. Terry coming back with the final piece for La Mina. Aras coming back with the final piece for Casaya. Terry's put La Mina back in the lead. Once you have the last piece in, then you start solving it. Terry with the sixth piece for La Mina. Start solving the puzzle. Aras, get it in there. Start solving Casaya. Both tribes solving the puzzle. Reward at stake. The loser-- sending somebody to Exile Island. Each piece will match up with a corresponding symbol on every side. >> Bring that one right around here. >> Dan and Sally trying to lead together. Casaya kind of doing it on their own. Casaya very close. Casaya wins reward! (cheering) Casaya, congratulations. You have a big decision to make. Somebody from La Mina is going to be sent to Exile Island. Shane, who's it gonna be? >> Terry. >> Terry, going to Exile Island. >> Bring in the boat. Casaya, your reward will be waiting for you at camp. Enjoy it. >> How many days have we been gone? >> We lost the reward challenge today, and Casaya got to decide who would go to Exile Island. They chose Terry, which we all knew they would, because he's our leader. >> When Terry comes back, he's going to be proud at the way his camp looks. We're gonna pull this together. You know, it's tough-- morale is down after losing, but we are gonna use this to start changing this from a place that we're just barely getting by on, to a place we're gonna live for awhile. >> I think we need to eat. Eat early before it rains. >> I think we might all take a nap. Sun's up right now. >> Well, you can take a nap, but I'm afraid I'm gonna miss another meal. (all talking at once) >> With Terry not being here, you just don't have that person who just seems like they're completely in charge. He makes everything just work in such an orderly fashion. Without him, it seems as if we have people all coming up with different ideas. I miss him. I'm ready for him to come back. >> Good job, everybody. We all worked hard. >> Oh, look at the bathroom. >> Check it out. >> It has a shower curtain. >> No way. >> Casa de Charmin is awesome. >> It's beautiful. >> What we won in the reward challenge was a bathroom with a shower, toilet paper and a toilet seat. >> Nice. Man, look at all that toilet paper up there. >> We've got five gallons of water, a sink bowl, three bars of soap, a bunch of towels, a back scrubber... Great. >> You guys want to talk about uses for what we just won? >> Yeah. >> My vote is to use the bathroom for firewood, just keeping things dry. Towels, firewood. >> Anyone mind if I eak in the dumpster? I got a deuce to drop. >> We should use the bathroom to keep the wood dry. >> The rocket scientist, ain trust that we have decided immediately that the first thing we were gonna do with our fresh, new, and-new toilet was store wood in it. I was like... all right, I'm gonna go in here and take a dump before you start storing wood in the toilet. >> He's dropping a deuce? >> Yeah, I mean, it's got all the clean towels and everything in there. Bobby just frustrates me, all day. He's not a gentleman. I can't stand the fact that he's not a gentleman. I just can't deal with people like that. >> I don't think that was a wise decision. >> How was it? >> Feeling about ten pounds lighter. Like a whole new man. >> Let's enjoy our victory, guys-- two in a row. >> Terry's gone for two days and he's gonna be undernourished, no water. Coming back for the immunity challenge, he's gonna be weak. We got 'em right where we want 'em, you know? Which is their leader hurt, and the rest of the tribe underfed. Terry's in hell. >> The hidden immunity idol. It's not found here but is hidden beneath a rock. Clue two, day four. It is up above the tide line. Clue three, day seven. It is buried underground. Clue one, day one. You also have a lot of time to think about why fate chose you to be here... which is also why immunity is already so important. Why? Why? It is hidden beneath a rock. I'm not hitting any roots. (clunking) Yeah, that's the end. Woo-hoo. Ah, totally. Break the bottle and retrieve the hidden talisman. The talisman, beautiful. This talisman can be used to keep you safe from the vote at Tribal Council, up to and through the final four. Up to and through the final four. All right! (owl screeches) This makes the whole trip out here worthwhile. I mean, they ended up doing me a big favor. That immunity idol in my back pocket is definitely my ace in the hole. >> Such a bummer, huh? Should we just start a new fire pit somewhere else? >> Our fire was out, dead. So Aras and Shane decided that we should move the fire pit closer to the shelter. >> Right here, man. >> I feel like if Shane pushes or something, it happens. Or if I push for something, it happens. And Cirie works her butt off. But there's a lot of people on this tribe who are just kind of like... eh. >> An aversion to working. >> Oh, okay, that's, that's nice. >> No, I'm just telling you, I think everyone has the same opinion. >> Bobby, too, huh? He does a lot. He sleeps. >> Right now, we're not talking about Bobby. I'm talking about you. You don't do a lot while you're here. >> If you're gonna be a ... about it, then whatever. Shane, sometimes, he has a bad attitude. I mean, I was a captain in sports, and you just... you don't get like that-- like demeaning you, you know. Why, why do you want to help them? >> Guys, am I the only one who thinks that? >> What's going on? >> That Danielle doesn't work very hard? >> I agree with Shane, Danielle. To be perfectly honest. >> What do you do? Do you get water? You ever gotten water? Alls you do is ask people to get fire for you so you can do the fire. That's all you do. >> What do I do? >> That's all you do! >> I hunt every day... >> I don't know if you guys catch food... >> I go and get as much wood as you do... >> I get wood, I get the water, I help you guys get snails. What the... What are you talking about? >> Danielle, we're not gonna have this discussion... >> No, we are gonna have this discussion because you just made me feel like I don't do anything. >> Are you worried about what people think of you? >> I'm worried about what everyone thinks about me here, and for you to say it like that... >> And everybody here won't tell you because they're afraid to tell you the truth! >> Why are they afraid to tell me... >> I don't know! Cirie, you think she works hard? >> That should've been my cue... to start walking. But no, uh-uh, I had to stand right there. >> I think I contribute. >> What? >> ...not as hard as everyone else. >> Not as hard as everyone else. >> She does stuff... >> Stuff. >> ...but some people just do more. >> All right. >> The Danielle-Shane-and- Courtney-Aras foursome is like some psychotic joke, and it seems to be unraveling little by little. Yay. >> I'm so weak now, man. >> When in your life do you not eat something all day long? >> I know, it's miserable. >> I'm starving. It's day 11, and we really haven't had anything to eat. >> Oh, my God! Look at 'em! >> He's been out there a long time. >> How can it be so hard to catch fish? >> Aren't you hungry? >> I am hungry, yeah. >> You should eat more. >> Yeah, you got to eat something. >> That's great. (sighs) We really suck at fishing. We're catching no fish. We haven't eaten. I figure we've got about three more days before the entire tribe can't get out of bed. So we're in pretty dire straits right now. >> That sucks. >> Today is the roughest day so far, plus with Super Terry being gone... That stupid fire. We cannot get that thing going without a dogfight. (blowing) >> You've got to be kidding me. >> It's raining, guys. >> What do we do now? >> We really didn't need that. >> Let's just gather the stuff up. >> The guys are really struggling today. And I don't know how much game these people have left in them. >> I'm tired, man. >> I'm just wrecked. >> It's just so frustrating 'cause it's my butt on the line. And if we lose another immunity challenge, I'm going home. >> Come on in, guys! We'll now ing in Terry, returning from Exile Island. >> There he is. >> Welcome back. (applause) Long two days out there? >> Peaceful two days. >> The good side to Exile Island is the hidden immunity idol. Here's what we know: only three people have been to Exile Island. Misty was voted out. She obviously didn't have it. Bruce and Terry are the only two people who have been there. They may have found it. It may still be up for grabs. Certainly a valuable item either way. You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge? >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> First things first, Shane. Thank you. Immunity, it's back up for grabs. For today's immunity challenge, you're going to have to test your balance, your teamwork, and your patience. Here's how it works: one person will begin seated on a chair, which is attached to a pulley. Another person will be situated directly above them in a crow's nest where an empty water drum hangs. The other four remaining tribe members will be tied together in pairs. You'll race across a balance beam carrying buckets. Once you reach the water, dip your bucket in, get water, and race back. You'll then empty your water into a larger pail. The person in the crow's nest will pull that pail up, empty the water into the drum. As the drum takes on water, it will lower. The person in the chair will rise until they're high enough to pull the pin, releasing the tribe flag. First tribe to release their flag wins immunity, is safe from Tribal Council. Losers, another person will be going home. One big rule: if you fall off the balance beam at any point, you lose all of your water in your buckets and go back to the start. Casaya, you have one extra member. You're sitting somebody out. You cannot sit out the same person in back-to-back challenges. >> Bob-dog. >> Bob-dog sitting this one out? All right. Give you a minute to strategize and we'll go. All right, pairs for Casaya are Shane and Courtney, Bruce and Aras. For La Mina, Sally and Austin, Dan and Terry. Here we go. For immunity. Survivors ready? Go! >> Let's go, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go! >> Both tribes on the course working together well. Sally and Austin making quick work of this course. Dan and Terry, working slowly but effectively. Shane and Courtney doing well. Aras and Bruce taking their time. Sally and Austin, going to be first off the beam. Shane and Courtney in the water. Have to figure out how to navigate. Only one tribe at a time on this course. >> You got it, guys. >> Shane and Courtney waiting on Aras and Bruce. Sally and Austin waiting on Dan and Terry. Dan having a little trouble. >> Way to go, Dan! Looking great! >> Take it slow, take it slow. >> Nice! >> Go, go, go, go, go, go, go! >> They're through. Shane and Courtney back on the course. Sally and Austin back on the course. Shane and Courtney have the right of way. >> Come on, Shane and Courtney, let's go. >> Shane and Courtney are going to be first back with water. >> Take it slow. >> Austin and Sally right behind. Put the water in the pail. Once it's full, people in the catbird, pull it up. >> Good job, guys. >> Cirie pulling up the first bucket for Casaya. Sally and Austin working well together. No trouble. Nick pulling up the first bucket for La Mina. Aras and Bruce coming back with water. Dan and Terry have full buckets of water. We're neck and neck. >> Come on, Dan! You're the man, baby! >> Both tribes across with more water. Get it in the pail and pull it up. Sally and Austin get the right of way this time. >> Slow and steady, fellas. >> The quicker you get the water into your pail, the faster you're back out on the course. Dan and Terry, more water for La Mina. Get it in the pail and pull it up. Sally and Austin coming back with water. Shane and Courtney, they've filled up their buckets. They're coming back. Dan having a little trouble. Dan falls off. Dan and Terry have to go back to the start. >> We're coming! We're coming! >> That wasted a lot of time for La Mina. Shane and Courtney waiting on Aras and Bruce. >> Good work together, guys. >> Casaya has been very solid. La Mina back with more water. And very close. A little wobbly. Nick careful not to spill a drop. Shane and Courtney back with more water for Casaya. Sally running across the beam. >> Come on, Cirie, you got it. Drop that back down. >> Aras and Bruce filling up that pail. Both tribes very close. Immunity at stake. Aras and Bruce back on the course. Dan and Terry running to get water. Austin and Sally running to get water. Shane and Courtney heading out for more water. >> Come on, guys. You got it. >> Keep moving! Both tribes, keep moving. >> Sally and Austin go first. >> Shane and Courtney have more water heading back. It's coming down to the wire. Aras and Bruce have to get off the course. Will this be enough water? Right of way goes to Sally and Austin. They're flying over this course. Sally and Austin with a little bit of a lead over Shane and Courtney. Will it be enough water? Got to get it into that pail and get it up into the drum. >> Come on, come on, come on! >> Go fast! >> We are very even. You're getting close to having enough water. Austin pouring carefully. Casaya gets their water in more quickly. Will this be enough? It could be a race to the finish! Cirie dumps it. It might be. >> Come on! >> Come on, baby! >> La Mina's bucket is full. Who's going to get there first? (cheering) Casaya wins immunity! (cheers and applause) >> Way to work, man! >> Another evenly matched challenge, but Casaya continues their winning streak. Congratulations. La Mina, a return visit to Tribal Council. Somebody else going home. You have the afternoon to figure out who that's going to be. Get your stuff, head on back, I'll see you at Tribal. >> The fire. >> Where do you want to build it, up there? >> Up there. >> We were absolutely thrilled to see Terry, and it was very comforting to have somebody come in and just take over again. It was fabulous. >> Did they give you one clue or did they give you everybody's clue up till now? >> Everybody's clue up till now. Where to try to find it and everything. It was a bear. >> How much time did you spend looking? >> Maybe I looked, uh, two hours or something. >> We talked about my two days on Exile Island, but nobody has directly asked me, Did you find the idol? So my intention is to hide the immunity idol. I want to have that in my back pocket in case I need it down the road. >> I hate losing, guys. >> I know we did our best. >> We lost the immunity challenge. That sends us to Tribal Council. Not happy about going there tonight. I don't think there's any way around the fact that we're going to be voting out Sally. >> All right, here's the deal. I just want to tell you, whatever happens tonight, I respect you both. I know there's an alliance, but I do have a lot of game left in me. >> We know you do. >> And I'd like to be here tomorrow, so that's all I have to say about that. I went up to Terry and just said, You know, I proved myself at the challenge today, and I feel like I still deserve to be here. All right, well, we're going to go get some water. Who knows if that will sway anything? Terry calls the shots around here, and if he doesn't think I'm worth keeping around, then I'm gone tonight. >> I know. I'm thinking about our tribe here, man, because before we know it, it's going to be down to the four of us. We don't want to go in four people at the merge. We're going to get picked off one by one, you first. You've got the biggest target on your back of anybody on this whole beach. >> Shane's a good athlete. He's better than I thought he was. >> Yeah, there's definitely a lot more than meets the eye with the Shane dog. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh. But here's the thing. You never promised Ruth Marie, I never promised her. Nor did Nick. >> Mm-hmm. >> Yeah, Dan just gave his word, shook his hand. We never made that pact with her. >> Austin came up to me and pitched voting off Ruth Marie instead of Sally. Ruth Marie was given a promise and a handshake by Dan alone, but since then, some things have changed. My goal was to come into the merge with numbers, and it's not looking good right now. >> What do you think? >> Okay. >> You are? >> Cool. I thought it was going to take a water-into-wine type of miracle to pull Terry into keeping Sally as our fifth. Apparently, I got some Jesus of Nazareth-like powers myself. >> I know how you gave Ruth Marie a handshake, but neither one of us did. I know you made a promise, and your word is your bond, and, uh, that's fine. But I'm looking at getting us four intact to the merge, and, uh, the strongest way possible is to have the strongest player, I think, which is Sally. >> I just can't believe how quickly it falls apart. Austin and Terry-- they're saying now, You had the handshake with Ruth, so it's okay for us to back out. But we had an understanding to go to the final five, and to change horses midstream is a big mistake. It's crazy. Be aware. If we take out Ruth tonight, we're down to four anyway, 'cause Sally is going to jump ship. I don't care what she says. She'll say anything right now. >> Dude, I know she'll stay with us. She wants to be in this alliance so bad, she... >> Well, that's my thing. She wants to be in it so bad... >> I... >> ...she'll do whatever. Whereas Ruth would die on her sword before she would give up her word. I think Sally would say, It's a game. I'm playing the game. I'm switching around. >> There's a lot of strategy discussion amongst the tribe right now. Terry-- he tried to get real technical about it, said it was really just Dan's promise to Ruth Marie, and it's kind of like an easy, hollow rationalization. I feel bad the way it's turned. Ruth Marie is part of the five of us, so I just... I don't want to go back on that. >> Oh, look, they're all in here. Look. >> Yeah. >> It's a shame to pack up my stuff and leave here with so much left to offer this tribe. It still could change. I know there's some talking going on. It's like the almighty men are upstairs plotting, and us little woman are just down here going, I wonder what they're going to do. >> Tell you what. We're going to eat every stinking one of them. >> I'm never going to be confident in Tribal Council, but I'm not walking around paranoid. I don't think it's me tonight. So Sally will be going home, unless something turns that I don't know about. >> This is going to be a Tribal Council for the books right here. Dan is campaigning hard for Ruth Marie. I'm pulling for Sally. So tonight's vote is completely still up in the air. We don't know what's going to happen. (insects chirring) >> Welcome back to Tribal Council. >> Thanks. >> Terry, tell me about Exile Island. Describe it to somebody who has never been there. >> Uh, basically, you're there with a barrel of untreated water, a flint and a machete. No sleeping quarters. You've got to try to go gather your own food, and that's it. It's a unique experience, but I don't necessarily want to go back there. >> Sally, did anybody question him about the immunity idol? >> We talked about it a little bit. You know, he kind of said, I spent a couple of hours looking for it. He didn't give anything away, but he didn't give any indication to let us know that he found it, either. >> Austin, what did you miss about Terry when he was gone? >> The best thing about having Terry around is he's a natural leader. When he was gone, the rest of us were kind of floundering. It's not like we're all inept people, but it's nice to have somebody kind of take charge and say, Hey, you guys be doing this, type of thing. So, it's nice to have him back. >> Let's talk about individual performance today in the challenge. Sally, you dominated. >> No matter what the challenge is, whether it's immunity or whatever, I'm going to give it everything I have. My best days out here are the days where we compete. And there was no way I was falling off that thing, and I went as fast as I could, so... >> Austin, what mistake have you made in the 11 days? >> Just in the challenge today. The bottom line was, both tribes had ample water to finish it off. Had I known that that was the amount that was going to put us over the edge, I wouldn't have been pouring like my grandmother. You know, I was over there just taking my sweet, precious time with it. Meanwhile, they polish it off, and they win the thing. So, you know, I'll take the blame for that. >> Ruth Marie, what's holding you back in this tribe? >> Um, I think I'm small in stature, and I'm twice as old as the other women. >> But you've been out here 11 days. Do you feel like you've proven yourself? >> I do. >> Let's go back to the last Tribal Council. Sally, you're one big happy tribe, and then Misty goes. Never saw it coming. Surprised? >> Oh, yeah, I was very surprised. I was the only one who voted with Misty. I mean, I was the only one who didn't know what was going on, so clearly, I was surprised. >> Do you think you know what's going on tonight? >> You know, it's hard to say. I think everybody here is great, and I want to be here tomorrow, and I want to wake up tomorrow in that bamboo bed, but so does everybody else, so... >> Ruth Marie, if it's you, what will this tribe miss tomorrow? >> I don't know that they will miss it tomorrow, but I am just steady, steady, steady, and get better as the game goes on. And I am an extremely loyal person. And that may show up down the road. >> Okay, before we get to the vote, Terry, you're the only person who has been to Exile Island. You may or may not have found the idol. If you need to, you'll let me know after the vote. It is time to vote. Austin, you're up. >> It's probably going to be you or me tonight, girl, so I'll miss you. >> Sally, I adore you, but I'm voting my alliance. >> I'll go tally the votes. >> Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote, Ruthie. Sally. Ruth. Two votes Ruth, one vote Sally. Sally. We're tied-- two votes Sally, two votes Ruth. That's three votes Ruthie. Two votes Sally. One vote left. Fourth person voted out of the Exile Island-- Ruth Marie. You need to ing me your torch. Ruth Marie, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Well, in spite of the fact that you've lost two tribe members in a row, you still seem positive, and that more than anything can help you to turn this game around. Grab your torches. Back to camp. Good night. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on Survivor... ...stomach trouble threatens La Mina. >> I just felt wrecked. >> Bruce's Zen garden is invaded by Courtney. >> We have the whole beach, and she picks this spot. I'd rather be on Exile Island than be around Courtney. (thunder rumbling) >> And Casaya's spark is snuffed out. >> This is a nightmare. >> I think my tribe underestimated the endurance that I have. I'm not upset about their decision. It's a game. It's fun. There are lots of twists and turns, but when you go through an experience like this, it humbles you a little bit. So, Sally, Dan, Terry, Austin, and Nick, I just wish them good luck.
>> JEFF Previously on Survivor... >> We need to talk. >> At La Mina... ...Dan ought Ruth Marie into the men's alliance, and Sally knew she was in trouble. >> All I can do right now is keep working hard and prove myself valuable. >> At the Reward Challenge... Want to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah. >> ...the tribes played for a fully stocked bathroom. >> Oh, yeah! >> Go! Reward at stake. Losers sending somebody to Exile Island. Casaya wins rewards. (cheering and whooping) Shane, who's it going to be? >> Terry. >> And Terry was banished to Exile Island. When Casaya returned to camp... >> Beautiful! >> ...there was some conflict over how to use their reward. >> My vote is to use the bathroom for firewood, just keeping things dry. >> Anyone mind if I eak in the Dumpster? >> Use the bathroom to keep the wood dry. Bobby just frustrates me. I can't stand the fact that he's not a gentleman. >> I feel about ten pounds lighter. (groan) >> On Exile Island, Terry deciphered the clues... >> Why they chose you to be the first one out here. >> ...and found the hidden immunity idol. (whooping) >> Beautiful. This talisman can be used to keep you safe from the vote at Tribal Council. All right! >> Back at Casaya, the alliance of four continued to crumble. >> For you to say it like that, that's messed up. >> And everybody here won't tell you because they're afraid to tell you the truth! >> What are you talking about? >> This foursome is like some psychotic joke. >> Terry rejoined La Mina at the immunity challenge. Survivors ready? Go! And Sally made a strong showing. >> Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. >> Sally running across the beam. But it was Casaya who took home their second straight immunity. Casaya wins immunity! >> Yeah, buddy. >> Yes! >> Though Sally was next in line to be voted off... >> It's a shame to pack up my stuff and leave here with so much left to offer this tribe. >> ...Austin made a bid to keep her. >> We got to have our strongest team. >> Dan reminded his tribe of their pact with Ruth Marie. >> We had an understanding to go to the final five, and to change horses midstream is a big mistake. It's crazy. >> But at Tribal Council, the men chose strength over their alliance as Ruth Marie was voted out. 12 are left. Who will be voted out tonight? (theme song playing) (birds singing) >> Pretty proud moment for me to be the last girl standing on this tribe. It's a very... how many women have left. >> At Tribal Council last night, Ruth Marie went home. I was a little disappointed in that decision, but Nick, Austin and Terry said that Ruth Marie just couldn't hold her weight in the challenges and that they wanted to switch over to Sally. >> I miss Ruthy already. >> I do... I was just going to say that. >> Every day that I spent with her, I was more and more amazed. >> Yeah, I'm really going to miss her. >> Ruth Marie ended up getting the votes and was sent home, and I am telling you, I have never felt so good in my whole life. >> That water is disgusting. >> Coming in here and feeling kind of like the underdog and the outsider right off the bat, and the fact that the four men, who have a very tight alliance, made a decision that I was valuable enough to keep around felt pretty darn good. >> The game plan this morning is to get some water boiled so we have water to drink, stay hydrated. >> I'm going to be designing a Zen rock garden. Um, just kind of ing kind of a Zen beauty to this place, 'cause it lacks it inside the campground and inside some of the people's souls. >> It's like we never have an easy fire day. >> It's just hard to understand. I mean, doing all the principles and making a fire perfectly. >> I know. It's just wet wood. >> I don't know what Bruce is doing over there. >> He's doing his rock garden thing. >> While we were making the fire, Bruce built a rock garden. It was just a question of whether it was the appropriate thing to build at the time. >> It's dire straits right now with the fire. >> Bruce, I've gotten firewood. You got to understand, this is a really tough fire right now, okay? You made your rock garden. No one went complaining. I'm-I'm working on this. I'm doing... I'm working as a team, okay? I definitely shouldn't have yelled at Bruce, and I felt bad about that. It was just a matter of whether or not the tribe needed a rock garden or a fire. When we're in the situation, there's got to be priorities. >> You attacked my character. When you do that... >> How did I attack your character? >> When you... when you just say that was nothing over there. You don't have no idea why I'm building my rock garden. >> When I said that was nothing? >> The rock garden. >> I didn't say anything was nothing. >> You come back with a childish... That was childish to come back with. >> So, you're... Hold on, hold on. You're calling me childish? >> No, that remark was. I said, The childish remark. >> Okay. There was no disrespecting. >> Okay. >> If you can see... I see where you're coming from. Just try to see where I'm coming from. I wasn't trying to disrespect you. >> I know you're-you're the master of the fire. >> No, no, no, no. Hold on. Hey... >> That's why we... >> It's all about communication, Bruce. >> Well, it is. >> We're in a tough situation. >> But don't come back... you know... >> So, Bruce, if you could get some of that good wood... >> Okay. >> ...that's what we need right now. >> Okay, give me my machete. >> There it is. I'm the youngest person in this tribe, and sometimes I feel like I'm the oldest one in this tribe. Maybe I need kind of a little bit of a eak, a little bit of calmness, so, to be perfectly honest, I kind of want to go to Exile Island. >> Casaya, La Mina, come on in! >> Casaya, getting your first look at the new La Mina tribe. Ruth Marie voted out at the last Tribal Council. You guys ready to get to today's challenge? >> Yeah! >> Okay, you are going to transport rice, beans and fish from a boat to the shore. You will designate one tribe member to be your retriever. On my go, they'll race out, retrieve one item, ing it back to shore. The rest of you will be lined up like an assembly line. You'll toss the item from one person to the next. When you reach the last person, they'll toss it in the appropriate bin. The retriever goes back out, gets another item. First, you'll collect a bag of rice, then you'll collect a bag of beans, then you get to the fish. The fish are big. And when you get to the end of the line, the last person has to chop the head and the tail off the fish, throw the body in the bin. Two rules: if you throw an item and the other person drops it, you're responsible to get the item, come back to your mat and throw it again. Second rule-- swapping positions is fine. You just need to tag out. First tribe to get all their items in the appropriate bins wins reward. Winning tribe gets it all. >> Oh, my God. >> You get all of your rice. You get all of your beans. You get all of your very large fish, and to go along with it, some spices for the fish, some wine... (gasping) >> ...and some cooking oil. >> Oh, my God! >> For the losers, not all bad news. You will not go home empty-handed. The losing tribe will take back with them either their rice or their beans. In addition, one member from the losing tribe will be sent to Exile Island. Big enough stakes? >> Yeah. >> Casaya, you have two extra members. Sitting two people out. Who is it going to be? >> It's going to be the two young girls. >> Courtney and Danielle will sit it out. Take a spot, we'll get started. Here we go, for reward. Survivors, ready? Go! >> Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! >> Get it here! Get it here! >> Austin and Aras coming back with bags right away. >> One motion, one motion. >> Yeah, let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! >> Come on, Dan-O let's go. >> Casaya has their first bag. >> Go, baby, go! >> Go! >> La Mina has their first bag. >> Come on, Aras. Breathe, baby! >> Come on, Aras. You got it! You got it! You got it! >> Swap out with me. >> One motion! One motion! >> Casaya, a bit of a lead. Go, Casaya! >> Okay, we got to switch. >> Go, La Mina! >> Go! Come on, let's go. >> Come on, Shaney. >> We switched out retrievers-- Nick and Shane. >> Come on, let's go. >> And to the fish. These are going to be harder to handle. (grunts) >> Go! Let's go! (grunts) >> Cirie with a good catch for Casaya. Oh, Cirie, you got to get it! >> Let's go! Let's go! Come on, take your time. >> If you throw it and they drop it, you have to go get it. Look at La Mina moving! >> Let's go. >> Come on, let's go. >> Come on, Bobby! >> Bruce has it. Got to chop the head and the tail and get it in the bin. (grunting) Both guys whacking at it. Go, La Mina! Bruce slowing down on the chopping. >> Bruce. >> Watch your fingers. Bruce really falling behind. La Mina with the lead now. Austin with a good catch. Dan with a good catch. (Bruce grunting) Bruce really having trouble. (grunts) >> Terry with a nice grab. Go! You can switch out! Shane in the water. Go, La Mina! >> Go, go, go, go! >> Got to get eight total. Reward at stake. Losers sending somebody to Exile Island. >> Come on, Cirie! >> Oh, nice catch by Cirie. (overlapping shouting) Bruce can't handle it. >> Go, go, get it, get it! >> Bruce, easy. >> You need to get closer. >> Bobby, Bobby's got it. La Mina with a big lead now. Bobby's got to get the head and the tail off. >> Power, Bobby! Power, Bobby! >> Look at that. Go, Casaya! Go, La Mina! La Mina with a one-fish lead still. Casaya making up some ground. La Mina working together well. >> Go, Sal... >> Sally can't handle it. >> Yeah, baby! >> Bobby's got it. La Mina really having trouble. Dan's got to come back and toss it again. Bobby making quick work of the fish. Go! >> Oh, come on, Sal. Come on, Sal. >> Dan and Sally running into a snafu. >> Go, Sal. There you go, Sal. There you go. >> Now they've got it. Terry makes a great catch for La Mina. Bruce, with a bad toss. >> Good catch, Bobby. >> There's a good catch. You're good. Bobby making quick work of the fish. Casaya pulling ahead. Go, Casaya! Go, La Mina! We are tied, six-six. Got to get eight total. Shane falls down. >> Smaller, smaller. >> A lot of reward at stake. >> Smaller, smaller. >> Underhand, underhand. There you go. >> Bobby's got it. >> Come on, Bobby! >> Bobby's been fantastic with the knife. Go, Casaya! >> Switch! >> Casaya switched out again. Terry trying to catch up. Go, La Mina! We're tied, seven-seven. This is the last fish. Casaya with the lead. Shane with a good catch. Cirie with a catch. La Mina, gotta pick it up! >> Let's go! Come on now! >> Bruce to Bobby. This could be it! >> You got this, Bobby. >> Get it in the bin. >> Get the head off. Hurry, Bob! Casaya! Wins reward! >> That was awesome. >> Bobby! Yo, baby! Tonight we eat! >> Once again, another very close challenge, but Casaya continues their winning streak-- four challenges in a row. La Mina, first you have a choice to make. Do you want the rice or do you want the beans? >> Beans. Now, Casaya, you have a choice to make. Because La Mina lost, one person is going to Exile Island; you as the winning tribe are going to decide who that will be. >> Just out of respect, it's going to be Terry. >> Terry. Terry, you'll return to the next immunity challenge. You will compete with your tribe in that. Head on out. Casaya, congratulations. You got some eating to do tonight. >> Yay! >> Grab your stuff. Head on back. >> Oh, my God. (thunder crashes) >> Damn! >> When we returned from reward challenge-- ta-da!-- and there's a lake. >> This is a nightmare. >> This is the biggest joke. >> Total nightmare. >> Our best reward today by far, and we come home to a swamp. No fire. >> We have rice, we have beans, we have wine and we have a ton of fish, but we can't cook it. Everything is wet. We don't have any dry wood for fire. >> Straight raw, like sushi. >> Of course. >> It has to be almost a hundred pounds of fish that we have here, and we're just cutting it up and eating it as sashimi, raw fish, sushi. >> This is cool for us to eat this like this, right? Ooh! I've never eaten raw fish. I hope I don't wake up in the morning with some kind of sickness or something. But they say it's okay to eat. >> You never had sushi? >> No. >> What? >> Excuse me. >> Kill me. >> No, no. I'm just shocked and awed 'cause I eat it all the time. >> Cheers, salut. Even though we've lost our home, we've won a great little prize. >> This is a tough situation. It's two steps forward, three steps back. But I'm happy that we won. We're bonding in our weird Casaya strange-fish way. >> Cheers, guys. >> Yeah. >> We made way too much, I think. >> Mmm. >> We had a reward challenge and the winner took all the spoils. And guess who won? Casaya, yet again. They walked away with fish, beans, rice. We walked away with beans. >> You guys gonna go in for seconds? >> Go for it. >> You sure? >> Yeah, take all you want. There's more than enough. >> But we're, of course, absolutely jubilant to be able to have food. >> I feel nausea setting in. >> I felt it as soon as I stopped eating. I'm just thinking it'll pass within 20, 30 minutes. (exhales) >> How you feeling? >> Not so hot. It's already working it's way through me. My body's not responding too well to putting the beans in the system. Nick and I are experiencing a little bit of nausea. Guess my system just wasn't quite ready for some food. >> I guess, you know, your digestive system probably takes a eak when you're not eating. I want this feeling in my stomach to go away, Dan. >> How are you doing? >> Well, I was feeling better... but I feel my stomach rumbling again. >> I have to go, too, dude. Do you? >> Yeah. >> Oh, God, I got to go again. God. This sucks. >> You know what? We probably didn't cook them enough. >> Hey, Nick. >> Hey. >> How you doing, bud. >> You guys do not want to know the details of that excursion. >> You have both ends going? >> Yeah. >> That stuff just wrecked me. That was just gross. >> How you doing, other? >> No doubt I'm going to have to go again in about five minutes. >> I threw up, too. >> Oh, you threw up, too? >> Yeah. >> I wish I could do that. >> The beans we ate got myself as well as Austin really sick. Gastrointestinal details that probably shouldn't be discussed at this time. >> Well, I got to go again. >> I got to go right now, dude. (thunder crashes) >> Yeah. >> They just do whatever they want to do. They always, they don't think of other people first. >> I hear ya... (hiccups) >> There's so much to do, I don't know where to begin. That's gross. I just feel like everything's trashed. Luckily, last night, the rained stopped, so the lake didn't go into our shelter. And I don't know what happened to Bruce and Bobby. Apparently they slept in the bathroom or something. I can't wait to hear that story. >> I didn't see it. If they did that, that is so wrong. Like seriously... that's so not right. (laughs) >> I'll get it. I got to Casa de Charmin to get some soap, and there's Bruce folded over, I mean literally folded in half, and there at his feet-- hmm?-- the empty bottle of wine. >> I just threw it away. >> I would have to be dead and someone would have to pour it down my throat for me to drink the last bottle of wine that we as a tribe won. >> What happened to that last bottle of wine? >> You drank it? >> Yeah. >> You and Bruce, or just you? >> I ended up sharing it with him, but I thought... I didn't think I had any place to sleep... >> You drank it yourself? >> Yeah, that's what my plan was, and then I went in there... gave him some. >> How do you feel about that? >> You feel good about it? >> Yeah. >> Bobby said there was no room in the shelter, but there was plenty of room. It was really bad judgment of Bobby to open the bottle of wine and drink it. We all worked really hard for that. Wine out here is like super special. Now none of us really trust Bobby. We were all supposed to cele ate and drink that wine together. >> Right, and I ought it in there, we were supposed to drink it last night... >> Yeah, but why would you ever do that on your own? >> 'Cause, you guys... I didn't have a place to sleep... >> You did. >> I didn't think I did. Maybe I did, but when I called out... >> You really made a bad, bad call. >> I don't feel bad that I stole your wine. Like I feel bad that I deprived them of wine, but I have no hard feelings whatsoever about the fact that you've been deprived of wine. Courtney definitely had a right to be upset. I just don't need to hear it. I really don't care what she thinks. She's probably one of the two or three most annoying people probably in the history of the world. >> It's so over. I don't have the energy for this. The energy I want to put on is for the camp and that's it. Not on this stupid stuff. >> Something told me I was coming back here again. I am on Exile Island for the second time. There's one less thing I have to look for right now because I have the hidden immunity idol. I am more independent on my own here. Everyone leaves me alone. I tend to have more time for the survival part of what I need to do about getting rehydrated and getting food so that I'm strong for the challenges. Finally a fire. I am really concerned about my tribe mates. My worst fear for La Mina right now is they're not properly feeding themselves and keeping hydrated. That's my worst fear. >> Creepy coffin. >> Guys, we got tree mail! >> Tree mail! Here we go. From the depths of the ocean floor you'll hold your eath till you can take no more. Paddle and swim as your body strains. An immunity depends on how you use your ains. >> Exactly not what the doctor ordered. Last night was one of the most miserable experiences of my whole life. The beans threw my system into a whirl, and we've got an immunity challenge coming up that we desperately need to win. >> This is, like, the true measure of what you're made of. >> It couldn't come at a worse time. So going in, I definitely would not give us the edge, seeing as we've lost four in a row and are going in semi-wounded. >> Come on in, guys. We'll now ing in Terry, once again returning from Exile Island. >> Hi, Terry. >> What's up, T.D.? (applause) >> What's up? >> How are you doing? >> Welcome back, Terry. >> Thanks, Jeff. >> First thing's first, Courtney, give it up. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's immunity challenge, you're going to collect skulls from coffins sitting on the ocean floor. On my go, three tribe members will paddle out looking for four coffins. Each time you find a coffin, dive down, untie the coffin, open it. You'll find a skull puzzle piece. Untie that, ing it back to the boat. Once you've collected all four skull puzzle pieces, paddle back to shore. The two remaining tribe members will then take those four skull puzzle pieces and build a skull pyramid. The pieces will only go together one way. First tribe to build it correctly and place their gold skull on top wins immunity, is safe from Tribal Council. Losers, somebody going home. Casaya, you're sitting two people out, you cannot sit the same people out in back-to-back challenges. Courtney and Danielle sat out the last challenge. >> We're going to sit out Cirie and Bruce. >> Cirie and Bruce will take a seat on this one. The only thing left to find out is if Casaya will continue to dominate or if La Mina has found a way to back into this game. Take your spots. We'll get going. For immunity, survivors ready? Go! >> Let's go! Let's go! >> Go, Casaya! >> You're looking for four coffins. >> Paddle, paddle, paddle, paddle, paddle! >> Terry trying to scope it from above. Terry, Danielle diving in. Four knots to untie on each coffin. Danielle pops up, but no puzzle piece. La Mina has their first puzzle piece. >> Straight ahead! >> Looking for another coffin. >> Let's go, La Mina! >> Danielle has the first puzzle piece for Casaya. >> Let's go, let's go! Come on, Casaya! >> Paddle! >> La Mina's already working on their second coffin. Casaya, their second coffin. Going to have to pick it up. >> Watch your head, Dan. Watch your head. Watch your head. >> He's got it. He's got it! >> La Mina has their second puzzle piece. >> Come on, Casaya! >> Casaya spending a lot of time underwater still looking for that second puzzle piece. La Mina at their third coffin. Danielle has the second puzzle piece for Casaya. >> Yeah! Here we go now! Here we go! >> La Mina has their third puzzle piece. They do not want to go back to Tribal Council. >> Straight ahead. >> Casaya not panicking. They found their third coffin. >> Right underneath us, guys. Right underneath us. >> La Mina at their fourth coffin. All three Casaya members trying to make up some time. La Mina with a big lead. They have four puzzle pieces. Could be the end of their losing streak. >> Come on, Casaya! Don't give up! Let's go! Bonsai! >> Casaya with their third puzzle piece. >> Yay! >> They have one piece left. La Mina's almost to shore. >> Great work, guys. >> Drop them on the mat. That's what you're looking for. Here's the gold piece that goes on top. That's what you're building. >> It's a triangle, it's not square. >> Casaya not giving up. >> Got it! >> Come on, Casaya! >> Casaya with their fourth puzzle piece. They're heading back. >> Hurry, guys! >> Here, try putting two... Is that it? >> That's not it. >> We're still in it, Aras! >> They can't get the puzzle! >> La Mina giving Casaya a shot. >> Come on! >> Oh, God, this is driving me crazy. >> Casaya, drop them on the mat, on the mat! Go, start solving it. Shane and bobby are in this now. They've had a lot of time to watch La Mina and learn what isn't working for sure. >> It might go a little vertical. >> Yeah, like that. >> There you go. >> Sally and Austin, trying a different strategy. One combination will work. Nothing else will. >> We're close. >> Shane and Bobby think they're close. >> That fits. >> The gold skull! >> Gold skull. >> Gold skull, gold skull! Gold skull! >> That's it! >> La Mina has it! La Mina wins immunity! (cheers) La Mina, back in the game. Congratulations. Nobody going home tonight. Casaya, winning streak comes to an end. Tribal Council tonight. Somebody is going home from your tribe. Get your stuff, head on back to camp. >> Ow! Son of a... >> Guys? Bobby, okay? No other discussion. Bobby goes down on the card. >> We lost the immunity challenge today, which forces us to talk about voting someone off. The group wants Bob out. I don't want Bob to go. I think he's proved himself in challenges. >> It's got to be Bob, dude. >> Here's the thing. We cannot control Bruce. We can't. What does Bruce ing to the table that Bob-dog doesn't ing? >> Nothing really. >> Nothing. Are we good at Bruce? >> This is really stupid but all right. It's stupid, I'm telling you it's going to end up costing people. >> It's not. >> Bobby came from young guys camp to begin with. If we get to the merge, and Austin and Nick are still around, I've always been worried about Bobby joining back up with them. So that was the reason why I didn't want Bobby to make the merge. >> He's not going to flip. >> I don't care. Whatever you guys want. >> What, you're not going to write his name down? >> Who? >> Bruce. >> I didn't say that. >> Oh. >> What are you babbling about? Like, what are you talking about? >> Oh, I just... I didn't hear what you said. >> Okay, so right now you're writing down Bruce. The four of us are all writing down Bruce. Done deal, no problem? That's not a problem? >> Oh, my God! I'm walking on eggshells as it is. Because initially way back, I was told I'd be the next to go. I'm just trying to lay low, fly under the radar, let them kill each other, and don't think about me for... (laughs) for the vote tonight. >> I don't know what anybody else tells you, but you were going tonight. Straight up. You were gone. >> Mm-hmm. >> But Bruce is now gone. >> I know one of the things that people are worried about is that if we do make a merge and we're 5-5 that I'll jump. I'm not jumping. >> Okay, so when we get to the merge, you're not going to flop? >> Yeah. >> You won't? >> Yeah. >> Swear on my kid? >> Yeah. >> Swear on my kid. >> Yeah, I won't swear on your kid, but yeah. >> Swear on my kid. >> I'll swear on your kid. >> You won't flop? >> Right. And you're promising me what? >> I promise you I'm getting you the sixth. >> Yep. I'm good? >> On my kid? >> Mm-hmm, on your kid, on Boston. >> Awesome. >> All right. >> This is my first Tribal Council, so I'm trying to calm myself down, and I want to keep it low-key. I get frustrated with Courtney doing yoga on the Zen rock garden. To me, it's disgusting. She has no respect for me or anybody. We've got the whole beach here and she picks the spot I'm at. I'd rather be on Exile Island than be around Courtney. >> What do you think about Bruce? >> I trust him. >> 100? >> Yeah. I do trust him. I don't trust Bobby. I don't. Courtney, why don't we switch this game up right now and vote... >> I was just thinking about-- I was like, At least I got my girls. >> ...vote off Bobby? >> You know what I mean? >> Let's vote off Bobby. >> Dude, I'm just scared of-- I'm just trying... >> I'm scared of that. I don't like that. Aras is putting himself, setting himself up. >> Aras is setting himself up so hard-core... >> Mm-hmm. >> ...and he's going to be so impossible to beat. >> How about we just get Shane, me, you-- us four vote for Bobby. Aras wanted Bruce gone. I just-- I didn't feel comfortable with that. I wanted Bruce to stay and I wanted Bobby to go, so I took control and I said this is not what I want. Keep Bruce. I'm telling you it's a better decision for all of us. It's less risky. >> Bobby's not going to flop. >> I just don't trust him. >> I don't trust him either. >> Okay, here's the deal. I can't vote him off. I swore on my kid that he was the sixth. I can't. >> Of course he's going to swear on your kid. Why wouldn't he? He knows he's getting voted off. He's going to say anything. >> That's-- here's the deal. >> Bruce would stay with us more than Bobby would. >> I agree. >> Well, why didn't you tell me that an hour ago, Courtney? You said an hour ago... >> Don't yell at me. >> I'm just yelling in general. And stop with the don't yell at me. I'm just-- we're talking. You wouldn't listen to me when I was telling you all this stuff about Bobby. >> Well, you were right. >> I don't want Bobby making it to the merge. >> You were right. >> You were right. >> You were right. >> You were right, you were right. >> You were right and now you've been talked to and changed your mind. You were right from the beginning. >> I mean, honestly. >> Everyone's out of their mind. There's nothing I can do. I told everybody initially that Bobby should go and then they all freaked out and said nothing. They're like women, you know what I mean, and now they're going back to Bobby. So it's like, you know, who knows? >> Everybody has a torch except Bruce. There's one on the end. Go ahead and grab it. Approach a flame and get fire. Fire's gone, so are you. Shane, last time you guys were here, I kind of felt as though this was a tribe that was in a bit of disarray. Has that changed? >> I would say that we are the dysfunctional functional tribe. I think when it comes to challenges, we step up and we know how to work together, but this tribe can be really, really tiring. >> Let's talk about what's going on at camp life. You've had some heavy downpours. How's the shelter holding up? >> I ended up sleeping in the outhouse that night. >> In the rain? >> Yeah, in the outhouse. >> With the bottle of wine. >> I went in there just kind of trying to get comfortable for about an hour and all of a sudden I hear a knock on the door, and Bobby shows up with a bottle of wine-- and at 2:00, 3:00 in the morning in the freezing rain with my butt sore-- and I said I could use a drink. >> Did anyone know, Bobby, that you took the bottle of wine? Was that okay with them? >> No, they didn't know and I found out later that it wasn't okay. But the reason why Bruce and I ended up in the outhouse is that the spots that we had reserved were taken and I was left to sleep exposed to the rain. So I was like, All right, well, now I got this bottle of wine and everybody I was supposed to share it with is asleep and my spot's been taken, so, all right, let me go over here and get my drink on with my boy Bruce. >> I've got to say if I'm the other five people, I'm looking at you and Bruce and thinking, You guys don't want to be a part of this tribe? Tribal Council is easy. >> Oh, I agree. It was very-- I gave them plenty of ammunition. You know? I didn't think it was wrong, but I understood people could be disappointed. What I apologized for wasn't the act, but it was for the way it made people feel if it made people feel a certain way. >> Cirie, did Bobby make a mistake? What did Bobby do from your point of view? >> I think it was a huge, huge mistake only because we all as a group fought for the reward challenge, and the reasoning that he's coming up with just doesn't sound good to me. >> But I also feel like we're all getting on Bob. Bruce knew very well as well that there was three other people that wanted that wine. >> I'm just as guilty and I apologize to the group now, but even then nobody came up to me and said, Bruce, you ass, you drank that. I'm just going with the group, and if they made it clear it was just horribly wrong, you could have talked to me. >> But, Bruce, the onus is not on them to ask for you to explain yourself. I think that you're responsible to go up to the people in the group and to say, Look, I made a selfish decision and I apologize. I mean, to Bob's credit, he lived up to it, said, Yo, I did this, but to just kind of pretend like it didn't happen, to shuck it off your shoulders... >> It wasn't even on my mind today. There was so much that we had to do. That probably was the furthest thing from my mind, honestly. >> Bruce, do you feel unappreciated? >> Oh, yeah, at times, because they ask for my suggestion, then they challenge it. I've never been challenged more times in my life on advice that was asked for me in over a whole year combined with thousands of students. It's unbelievable. >> But Bruce, we are not your pupils. All right, we're your tribesmen, and so when you do get challenged, you can't look at it as some sort of ego blow, but, no, this is a tribe learning to work together. >> You're completely wrong there. I don't think that. I was just throwing that out. >> I just think he just feels like he's not getting the respect that he deserves. He's an older man, he's a wiser man, he has more experience than everybody, and I just think sometimes he doesn't get the respect that he deserves. >> You know, I apologize to you guys, and I'll tell you I'm gonna take everything you say to heart. You know, if something is going to bother me, I'll clear it up right on the spot. Then you guys are in for it because you'll hear more of me then. You guys, I appreciate you guys. Come on. I will, I will. That's, that's a promise. >> Before we get to the vote, Bruce is the only one of this tribe that's been to Exile Island. He could have found the hidden immunity idol. Whether he did, it would not come into play until after the vote. Cirie, you're up. >> Bobby, you're just too egotistical and you're selfish. >> Bruce, I just didn't think I could trust you. >> This is a throwaway vote. It doesn't mean anything. I'm trying to make my vote go away. >> I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote: Courtney. Bruce. Bobby. One vote Bobby. Aras. That's one vote each for Aras, Courtney, Bruce and Bobby. Bruce. Two votes Bruce. Bobby. Here's where we stand-- two votes Bobby, two votes Bruce, one vote Courtney, one vote Aras. One vote left. Bobby. Fifth person voted out of Exile Island. Bobby, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Well, no doubt in my mind you were in disarray when you walked in here tonight, but maybe the honesty shared here tonight could be the answer to inging this group together. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on Survivor, the women want Shane out. >> It's going to be a stealth chop of the head, guillotine- style. >> La Mina hits rock bottom. >> Down the hatch. >> Ugh! >> A big twist could mean salvation for one... >> Oh! >> ...and a Tribal Council like never before. >> I don't really know what to say. I wasn't expecting to be here this early. I feel like I never really got my game off the ground. I could have played it differently, but the truth was I just couldn't stomach a lot of these jokers. People in Casaya were bonded together out of weakness, out of desperation. Courtney, Danielle and Shane are spineless little twerps, all of them, and just being around them made me want to throw up. You know, at least I don't have to be them. I get to be Mr. Bob Dog.
>> JEFF Previously on After Tribal Council, Sally was the last woman standing at La Mina. >> Ruth Marie ended up getting the votes and was sent home. And I am telling you, I have never felt so good in my whole life. >> At the reward challenge, the tribes competed for food and wine. >> Oh, my God. >> La Mina took the lead. Terry with a nice grab. Bruce really having trouble. But Sally struggled, and Bobby chopped his way to victory for Casaya. Casaya wins reward! >> Tonight we eat! >> Casaya won fresh fish, rice, beans, spices and wine, while La Mina was left with only a bag of beans, and had their leader sent, once again, to Exile Island. >> Good luck, Terry. (thunder crashing) >> Casaya returned to find their camp underwater. >> This is a nightmare. >> We have a top of fish, but we can't cook it. Everything is wet. >> But even without fire, they managed to make the most of their reward. >> I've never eaten raw fish. I hope I don't wake up in the morning with some kind of sickness or something. >> At La Mina, the tribe devoured their first nourishment in days... but the beans were too much for Nick and Austin's stomachs. >> Well, I got to go again. >> That stuff just wrecked me. >> Back at Casaya, Bobby and Bruce spent some quality time in the outhouse. >> Excuse me. >> And in the morning, they paid the price. >> What happened to that last bottle of wine? >> Someone would have to pour it down my throat for me to drink the last bottle of wine that we, as a tribe, won. >> You really made a bad, bad call. >> I don't feel bad that I stole your wine. Like, I feel bad that I deprived them of wine, but I have no hard feelings, whatsoever, about the fact that you've been deprived of wine. >> At the immunity challenge... La Mina with a big lead! ...La Mina finally oke their losing streak. >> That's it! >> La Mina has it. La Mina wins immunity! Back at Casaya, the alliance of Shane, Aras, Courtney and Danielle made their decision. >> No other discussion. Bobby goes down on the carpet. >> But Aras changed the plan. >> We cannot control Bruce. >> This is really stupid, but all right. >> Then Danielle changed the plan again. >> Keep Bruce. I'm telling you, it's a better decision for all of us. >> And Shane was irritated with his tribe's flip-flopping. >> Why didn't you tell me that an hour ago, Courtney? I told everybody, initially, that Bobby should go, and then they freaked out and said nothing-- they're like women. >> At Tribal Council, the voting was erratic. But three votes were enough to make Bobby the fifth person voted out of the game. Bobby, the tribe has spoken. 11 are left. Who will be voted out tonight? (theme song playing) (thunder crashes, birds and insects hoot and chitter) >> I know Bruce is in here. I'm not worried about it. Listen, why do I have to worry about anybody, homey? >> I don't know where all this anger is coming from. And I don't appreciate you directing it towards me, so can we just talk about this tomorrow? Because I don't feel like getting into a huge fight with you. It's not worth it. >> I want to get out of the alliance that I'm in with you guys, but I can't do that unless you guys allow me to take my son's name back, so... >> Why would you say that? >> Because I don't trust that you guys are going to make the right decisions. I'd rather go into the merge a lone wolf than have to deal with you and Courtney. >> I don't know, like, I don't know why you're... you have all this anger towards me and you're going to start bashing me now, because you're going to go through one of your manic, crazy spasms. I don't need to deal with it. I don't want to deal with it. I'm going to bed. If you still feel like that tomorrow, then ing it up tomorrow and we'll argue tomorrow, okay? Because I just... I don't need you bashing me. >> I know, you're such a victim, Danielle. >> I know... I am. (thunder rumbling) >> Like that. We got one, two, three, four. (grunts, sputters) >> Courtney had decided to sleep on the beach last night, so I had to catch Courtney up... (laughing) ...on, uh, Shane's wanting to leave their alliance. You know, she has to know. (laughing) Um, so Courtney decided, well, let's get rid of Shane. Wouldn't that be amazing? is what she said. I'm like, Oh, okay. Huh. (laughing) >> Out. (laughing quietly) Last night, we get back to the shelter, and Shane has one of his crazy, manic, psycho fits again, and he's next. That's the bottom line. He's such an idiot. I can't stand him. >> Yeah. >> He's such a moron. I cannot wait to vote him off. >> He's so getting what he deserves. >> He's just a lunatic. He's lost his mind. He's just a freak. (whispering): I want out of the alliance with you and Courtney. And then he's saying that he wants nothing to do with me and Courtney. You know, I want out. You guys are disorganized. I don't like the way the Tribal Council went down. Well, if that's how you feel about it, then fine. Get out of the alliance. You're off anyway, who cares? See you later. Bye. >> This is so on the down-low. It's going to be a stealth chop the head off, guillotine style. >> It's beautiful out here. Another beautiful day in paradise. I'm taking a quiet moment to enjoy it. I've been within 200 miles of this spot many times, vertically. Good morning. >> I feel really groggy today. >> I'm going to get the fire on, and then we'll warm up the beans. >> They taste a little better. >> It's been a rough couple of days. The four guys are kind of doing, like, a boys' club thing. But I think it's shortsighted. These guys think that they know how the game works, but, like, I'd be very surprised if the all-man's club ended up lasting as long as they think it would. >> These are little minnows. They're caught in this pond here. They're tiny, tiny, but they're salty. They're better than nothing. They are protein. >> I've been fantasizing about food since day two. I can't stop, no matter what I do. If we could get some food in our stomachs, this whole game could change. You'd think I was diving for friggin' chicken nuggets down here. I... got one. Don't you move. Food. He's going down the hatch. Boy, did he taste awful. Ugh! >> Hey, Nick. >> Yeah? As in? >> While they were flying. >> As in when they were flying? You've got to be kidding me? >> Yeah. Three space shuttle flights, uh, once aboard the shuttle Endeavor, twice aboard shuttle Discovery. >> Oh, my God. >> It's a dream come true, what I wanted to do my whole life. >> Dan, that's unbelievable. I never thought I'd even meet an astronaut, never mind live with one. I mean, the guy has looked at Earth from space. So he's, he's an incredible guy, and I knew that from the start. To learn that and how humble he is about, um, being an astronaut is... is pretty amazing. >> You wouldn't believe how many people told me I could never be an astronaut. I've been to orbit three times, on space shuttles, I've done four space walks, I've been to space station twice. >> Man, I need to come up with something, 'cause I got nothing. >> Hey, Nick, you and I, we got nothing time, though, baby. >> That's true. >> Man, that's awesome though, dude. He actually has dined with Neil Armstrong. Dan Flago is a stud. I told you from the get-go. He's a pimp. >> You know what, it wasn't like hiding anything from you. It was because I didn't want to be, you know, the astronaut guy. I just wanted to be Dan. We've become really good friends, and I don't want to keep the secret from them anymore. This is just another way for us to... to bond. >> I guess I need to come clean. My real name is John Grisham. >> I was going to say, yeah. >> Sunshine again. So happy. >> Usually, in a normal alliance, we could say, Listen, I just want to be out of this. But I can't really do that because I... I swore on my kid's life that I'd stay with you guys. >> What, what, why are you so upset? >> I'm not. Listen, I don't, I don't want to talk about that. I want to really, I want to ask you guys if I can take my son's name... >> Done. >> Done? Courtney? >> I don't, you're, you're making a mistake right now. I don't see... >> I'm not making a mistake. I'm never gonna ever be beholden to people that make decisions based on personal feelings. You guys voted Bobby out of here because you, Bobby pissed you off five days ago. >> Negative. >> No. >> Okay. >> I stuck to the original plan, so if you want to get angry at someone for flipping, then you should get angry at me. >> I did. I got angry at Courtney. I told... I got angry at Courtney, got angry at... >> You lashed out at me last night. >> Like, all you're doing is lashing out at people. >> Oh, all I do is lash out at everyone. >> You do. >> It's terrible, awful. >> You guys do nothing. You guys do nothing. >> Honestly, you have these, like, out eaks, and you just lash out at whoever is next to you. And I'm sick of it, so don't... I don't want to hear it. Don't lash out at me again. I don't need it. Honestly. I'm not here for that. I came here to enjoy myself, not to have people demean me. >> I second that motion. >> I haven't lashed out at you in days. >> You were horribly disrespectful to me yesterday. What are you mumbling about over there? I mean... >> You don't even realize... >> You don't even realize how mean you are. >> You just talk so down to people, like... >> It's funny how you two are the only two that have a problem with it. >> We're the only ones who need to say anything about it. >> I'm done. >> You done? >> Set aside, it's done. >> I need to get out of this alliance, because I'm in it with an idiot, and I don't want to be with Shane. I just don't. I don't, I don't trust that he's going to keep his mouth shut. I don't respect the way he treats other people. And I don't want to be a part of that. If I have a choice, I don't want to be a part of it. So truth be told, I think it's great the alliance is oken up because it's a paper tiger. There's no power to this alliance anymore. >> I don't like Courtney, either. But I did. I screwed myself bad. >> I feel like Shane just wrote his walking papers, basically. And unless he somehow is able to apologize to the girls, say, Look, I didn't really mean it, I feel like that guy is going to go home. (screeches) >> Ooh! That's scary. >> Simple. >> That looks freaky. That doesn't look like a fun, like, trivia game. >> Terry, we got tree mail. >> Tree mail. >> All righty, ing it on. >> With strength and smarts today, we'll see, how hard you'll compete for immunity. >> Another immunity? >> No, this one's huge. >> Wow! >> The winners get away for a treat you'll dig. >> Oh, my God! >> We have got to win. >> Today the stakes are high and the reward is big. >> Oh! Oh, God! >> Wow! >> This is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. >> Immunity and reward. >> That's awesome! >> This could be immunity. Immunity. Let's, let's, let's pare the numbers down today, you guys. >> I'll die if we don't win this. >> We're gonna win it. >> It is absolutely vital that we play to win today. We need to win this. We need to be able to get the numbers even before, for it potentially go into a merge. >> I'm not going home tonight, you guys. >> Let's get it done today, guys; let's get it done. >> One, two, three, La Mina! >> Come on, baby. >> If we win, five on five. >> Strength and smarts. >> If we lose, Sally most likely will be gone and we're gonna be hurting big time. So, uh, we're totally stoked. This, this is, this is game seven of the World Series. >> La Mina, come on in! Casaya, come on in. La Mina, getting your first look at the new Casaya. Bobby voted out at the last Tribal Council. >> Wow! >> You guys ready to get to today's challenge? >> Better believe it. >> You bet. >> Yeah. >> First things first. Nick. Thank you. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs because today's challenge is for both reward and immunity. Here's how it works. On my go, three members from each tribe will race out to the field to collect puzzle pieces. You'll go one at a time. You'll untie it, lower it, unhook it, ing it back. Once you have all four pieces, the two remaining tribe members will use those pieces to solve a spinning puzzle. First tribe to solve it correctly wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah. >> Definitely. >> Everything you need to have a good afternoon and a good, old barbecue. >> Oh, yeah! >> Including some toys you're going to ing for the children of a local Panamanian village that will be your host. You will have a Panamanian barbecue: barbecued chicken, barbecued beef, wine, beer, soft drinks, the works. And that's not all. While the winners are partying, the losers will be at Tribal Council tonight, where somebody will be voted out. And as always, the winning tribe gets to choose one member from the losing tribe to send to Exile Island. The difference is, this time, the person you send to Exile Island will not go to Tribal Council tonight. That means they cannot be voted out. So instead of punishing somebody, you are protecting somebody. Big stakes at this point in the game. Worth playing for? (all agreeing) >> Casaya, you have one extra member. You're sitting somebody out. Who is it gonna be? >> Courtney is gonna sit out. >> Courtney will sit out. Who are gonna be the three people for Casaya that will gather the puzzle pieces? >> It'll be, the three of us will get the puzzle. >> So the three gatherers for Casaya will be Shane, Aras, and Danielle. That means Bruce and Cirie will solve the puzzle. La Mina, who is going to gather puzzle pieces for you guys? >> Terry, Austin, and Nick. >> Terry, Austin, Nick. That means Dan and Sally will solve the puzzle. All right, take your spots. We'll get started. Here we go. For reward and immunity, survivors ready? Go! >> Go, Shane! >> Shane and Terry out first. And a collision right off the bat. >> Come on, Shane! >> Shane and Terry untying quickly. >> That's it, Terry, way to go, buddy! >> The faster you get those pieces back, the more time you give your tribe to solve it. >> Attaboy, Shane! >> Come on, Shaney. >> Terry is through his knot. He got his piece lowered. He's got it unhooked and he's heading back. Shane losing a little time. Shane using his teeth. >> Come on, baby! >> Puzzle pieces are heavy. Go! Austin on the course for La Mina now. >> Get after it, Austin! Get after it, o! >> You got it, Shane. >> Shane has his rope undone. Shane unhooks and Shane is heading back with a piece now. Austin untying quickly. >> Good job, Shane. Nice job, Shane! >> You gotta drop it. >> Go! >> Aras on the course for Casaya, trying to make up some time. Austin has his knots undone with his second puzzle piece; Aras working the knots for Casaya. Austin back with the second puzzle piece. >> Go, go, go! >> Nick now heading out for La Mina. >> Go, Nick! >> La Mina leads, two, one. Aras still working on the knots for Casaya. Nick working on the knots. Aras has his undone. Aras heading back now with the second puzzle piece for Casaya. Casaya still trying to make up some time. Nick's still working on the knots. Aras back with the second puzzle piece. Go. Danielle on the course for Casaya. Nick has the third puzzle piece for La Mina. >> Go, Nick! Go, Nick! Go! >> Danielle using her teeth on those knots, trying to make up some time for Casaya. Nick coming back with the third puzzle piece. One piece left for La Mina. Terry, back out on the course. Danielle giving it everything she has. Not making up much time. Terry now working on his knots for the final piece for La Mina. Danielle has the third piece for Casaya. Terry working on that last piece. Puzzle pieces are heavy. Danielle, trying to handle it. Terry has his rope undone. >> That's it, TD! >> Terry coming back with the fourth piece for La Mina. Danielle back with the third puzzle piece. One piece left for Casaya. La Mina with the lead. >> Come on, Shane! >> Once we get the first one in, we got it. >> Terry's back with the last puzzle piece. Start solving it. Dan and Sally quickly getting to work. >> Roll it. Come on, now fix it, fix it. >> That doesn't work. Let's use the other one. >> Rotate that one a little bit. >> No. >> Shane got to get back quickly with that last puzzle piece. Trying to make up a lot of time. >> Try this side. >> Dan and Sally struggle with that first puzzle piece. >> Shane's got it! Awesome! >> Shane heading back with the last puzzle piece for Casaya. >> Face up. >> Go! Bruce and Cirie starting to solve their puzzle. >> I'll hold it. >> Okay. >> Like this or like that? >> Dan and Sally have had a bit of a head start but making no progress. Both tribes looking for some sort of pattern, something they can lock into. >> Hey, there's two cheekbones right here. >> Bruce and Cirie, working together. Think they're onto something. >> That's it. That's it. >> Let's move this side over. >> We got one. We got one. >> Casaya thinks they have their first piece. >> They got a piece. >> Lift this up. Lift this up. >> Casaya thinks they've figured out a pattern. >> Hey, Sally, look. >> Dan spying on Casaya for help. Casaya with a second piece. La Mina trying to catch up simply by copying. Still got to figure out how to get the piece in. >> This one. >> Spin yours a little bit, Bruce. >> Casaya working on their third piece. Casaya has their third piece. La Mina falling farther and farther behind. A lot a stake-- a big reward feast, immunity, power over who goes to Exile Island. Casaya right on the edge of the last piece, if they can get it to fit. La Mina still working. >> Step on it. Step on it. >> Casaya wins reward and immunity! (Casaya tribe cheering) >> You did it, Bruce! >> Casaya, huge win. >> Bruce, you hold that, other. >> Good job, Bruce. >> Immunity keeps you safe from Tribal Council tonight, and you have a big decision to make. You're going to send one person to Exile Island right now; that person cannot be voted out tonight. (Casaya tribe whispering) Casaya, who's it gonna be? >> Sally. >> Sally, going to Exile Island. Boat's waiting. >> See you guys. Good job. >> Keep in mind, Sally will get another clue to the whereabouts of the hidden immunity idol. Whether or not somebody's already found it, who knows? La Mina, all I have for you is a date tonight with me at Tribal Council. Somebody going home. Grab your stuff, head on back to camp. See you at Tribal. Casaya, it's time to party. Have a good time. Boat's waiting for you. >> Exile Island, for me, is my saving grace. In every other case, the negative downside has been to be away from the tribe. In this case, me being here today is a good thing, because I felt like there was a pretty strong alliance between the four guys and that I would be the one to go. So it put things in a really different perspective. Today, it's actually saving me. >> Clue number six: It is not found here, but it is in the shade for most of the day. It's so important that I'm here right now and that I have this opportunity. Assuming I don't get dumped on for the next couple of days, this is a gift to be here, so I'm thrilled. It's like a little vacation, some girl time, get away from all those boys for a while. It's exciting and frustrating to think that there's an immunity idol out here somewhere, but it's overwhelming. You really don't know where to start. I'm safe tonight and I'm going to wake up tomorrow safe. I'm just privileged and giddy to still be here, so... Even it's on Exile Island by myself. (children laughing, shrieking) >> We had won the reward challenge. La Mina is demoralized. We knew they were going to Tribal Council tonight. We're in the middle of this Panamanian fishing village. We knew we were going to eat. I'm just so, so happy to be here right now. >> I'm coming, I'm coming. >> I was so joyous to see all those little kids come running up to the boat, and they just grab your hand, and they have these big smiles on their faces. >> Woo-hoo! >> It was so cool. A young boy grabbed my hand and asked me if I wanted to eat, and I was like, Yes, I want to eat. >> Oh! Oh, God, it is so good. >> Oh, my God. >> This is the first thing other than water I've had in 16 days. >> Oh, my God. Sure more food. They just kept handing you, you know, rice and soup, and then some cheese with chicken and then barbecue chicken. >> Oh, my God. >> I'm so happy right now. >> I just kept eating and eating and eating 'cause I... just went crazy and just at everything in sight. Oh, it was amazing. >> I'm ecstatic. It was just really nice to be around people, other than these people. You know, and to see kids, that made my day. Just to see those kids-- oh! Those kids remind me of my family. I saw this one little girl, she looks exactly like my niece. Oh, God, I miss my kids so bad. I can't even think about it right now. It was nice. It was really good. Much needed. I know it's only day 15, but damn, we really needed that. >> Yay! >> I saw one of the villagers smoking, and I was like, oh, no. The next thought was All right, I can give him my shoes and I can give him my shorts and I can give him my shirt and I can give him my buff... And here's the deal-- if the guy would've been like, I want your underwear too, I probably would've been naked for the rest of the afternoon for just one cigarette. >> Shane, I'm not happy with that, buddy. >> This is probably a really bad decision. I remember sitting there in a stupor going, Oh, my God, I can't believe a cigarette is affecting me like this. It just shows me how devastating nicotine is to the body, on every level. >> You're enjoying that way too much. Amigos, amigas. No Espanol, but this... so much. >> The reward kind of ought us together, but that's the thing, it's like a double-edge sword for me. Yes, yay, we won. I won food, but now that gives Shane time to kind of backtrack. >> I'm really gonna puke. >> I should never have treated you like that. I apologize, okay? >> I accept. >> When we leave here, and my life is normal, I promise you that I'm going to be a different person. And I don't owe anybody on this island anything except you. >> Courtney and Danielle, they're easily persuaded by Shane's nonsense. You know what I mean? Damn! In a way, I almost wanted to lose, because I really felt that Shane was going, and then hopefully, it was Bruce. (karate yell) (karate yell) (applause) But now that we won and everybody's all in love again, I don't know. Damn! (drums playing) (villagers speaking Spanish) (child squealing) (man singing) >> I'm so happy right now. >> You know, today's experience was one of the top five experiences of my life. I was touched and overwhelmed in so many different ways. Right when the darkness is coming, there's this beautiful dawn, and there's this beautiful bonding experience. We got to feast. We got to hang out. All the stuff that had gone on the night before got... sort of got washed away with the victory. It was a really, really great day. (birds singing) >> You know what the saddest part is? We knew where the first piece went. We had it figured out. We knew right where it went. We went in, and we laid it down there, and it wouldn't fit. >> That was the key to the whole puzzle. >> Losing the immunity challenge was bad. It was... it was game seven for us, and we lost it. Now Sally's got immunity from Tribal Council tonight, and, uh, we've got to vote off one of our guys. >> How can we lose a challenge with a puzzle when we have a NASA engineer on our team? I mean, how do you do that? >> I don't know. >> This is a young people's game right now. You know, we can take you a lot further in this... >> Right. >> ...than he can. >> If Sally was here, obviously, we'd take her, but, you know, physically, he's the weakest. >> The four of us are all very close and have an incredibly strong bond, and I know that this has to be incredibly difficult on Terry to even consider eliminating Dan, but somebody has to go home, and I don't want it to be me. >> I had it. Sitting in that very spot was the answer. You know, the center piece can't rotate now. It cannot fit, and to... I'll never know why... >> Well, no use pondering it anymore. >> It's true. It's going to be... We're going to have to sort that out, 'cause two v. two gets kind of sketchy. >> Do you think Austin is interested in leaving? >> I don't think so, but I... I can ask him, but I-I really doubt it. >> I ain't going against Terry. >> Yeah, I can't vote against Austin. >> I don't know what's going to happen tonight. It's probably going to be two v. two. Uh, Terry and I versus Nick and Austin. >> I was talking to Dan. He's pretty convinced it's going to be a two v. two tonight. >> Yeah. I-I-I... He's-He's a friend of mine. I like him. We have crap loads in common with all the flying and everything like that, but I feel like I'm putting on my Joe Torre hat and making a decision for the strength of the team, and... >> Yeah. >> ...there's a couple of challenges where he's... not come through. >> Yeah. >> It could have been us, but it wasn't. It was... It was him, so... >> Yeah. >> I should probably talk to him. I think that the remaining three strongest men would be me, Nick and Austin. Dan's odd man out. And I feel bad, but that's-that's the way it is. >> My whole job is about having a game plan in place, and if it's not quite working out, stepping back, and I didn't do that. Instead, I picked up the puzzle piece and started looking around randomly. And you know what? If I did that in space, you die. >> You know, we-we made a pact not to lie to one another and tell each other the truth and stuff. >> Right. Absolutely. >> And, uh, you know what? If... I'd take you to the final two with you and me if I could, so, um... I-I feel like I'm making the decision for the strength of the team tonight. >> I hate leaving. I hate leaving. >> I definitely... I wanted to talk to you first. I didn't want to make it a surprise. >> Hey, you know, my fault. My bad. I got to take responsibility for that. And as much as I, you know, would, you know, love to stay-- I want to be here-- hey, you screw up, you got to... you know, you got to take the hit. >> Dan and I have something even more in common than anybody else-- soaring to all kinds of heights above the Earth-- and having to vote him off is a highly emotional decision, because he's something else. Dan has the right stuff. >> Welcome back to Tribal Council. Let's start by talking about who is not here. Austin, how big a part of this tribe is Sally? >> She's a huge part, but you know, we had the boys' club and Sally, um, but she was saved by the move that, um, Casaya made today. >> So, Nick, it was going to be Sally, the next out? >> Yeah, Sally would have been next. >> Terry, do you think Casaya knew that? Sensed that? >> It was immediately known that they were going to pick Sally. That meant that we four guys had to vote one of us out. So, a maybe stronger player is now going to be leaving the game, versus having Sally in there, so it was a smart strategic move by their point, big time. >> Nick, how tight is this group? Because it's about to be splintered. >> The group's amazingly tight. I mean, we were able to talk openly tonight. It's not a surprise to who's going to be leaving tonight. It's understood that, you know, when you're part of a team, you might be the weaker physical, you might be the weaker mental-- whatever your role is-- and we accept that. So it's-it's been a very businesslike process tonight. >> Well, I'm looking at the four of you, and so far, nobody's face is giving anything away. I don't know if it's you, Austin, Terry or Dan. >> It's me. Uh, they were very up-front with me to tell me that, uh, it's my turn tonight to go, and today, three people performed their job, and two people didn't. And one of those two people is immune, and the other one is sitting right here. And I'm willing to take responsibility. At the same time, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was kind of hoping, uh, that it was going to go maybe a two v. two. >> Meaning a tie between... >> A tie, you know, and Terry and I go one way, and, uh, Nick and Austin go the other way. >> Terry, there's an obvious two versus two scenario. Did that go through your head at any point? >> Strategically, we weren't going to have to do this till we got to the final four, and now we're the final four of this tribe, and what I'm doing is, uh, making a managerial decision. >> Austin, was it clear in your mind that there was one person who just needed to go? They're holding us back. >> I would never use those words to say about my buddy Dan Berry. There's nothing about him that needs to go. We are just down to a situation where somebody has to go. Dan was the weakest of the four of us. >> Dan, what will this tribe be losing if you go home tonight? >> I do a lot around the camp. I built the fire shelter. I built the, uh, fireplace. Uh, Dan Fuego-- I-I take care of that part. Um, I'm pretty good in the water, and in general, I'm a great puzzle solver. I don't know what happened today. But they are losing a substantial contributor. >> So, Dan, are you just taking the sword on this one? >> No, I'm not. Absolutely not. If it was my choice, this would go two v. two, and we'd have a little challenge going on here. I expected to last a lot longer than this. And in fact, yesterday, I thought I was lasting a lot longer. You know, I'm-I'm solid with five people. I know there's one person in front of me, for sure, if we were to lose again. It's just... it's incredible how fast things turn. >> Okay, so it does seem like tonight's vote is a bit of a foregone conclusion, but I've seen weirder things happen. Well, Terry, you have been to Exile Island. The immunity idol could come into play. You'll let me know after the vote if that is indeed the case. It is time to vote. Nick, you're up. >> I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote, Dan. Austin. Dan. That's two votes Dan, one vote Austin, one vote left. Sixth person voted out of Exile Island, Dan. You need to ing me your torch. >> Good luck, my boys. (indistinct chatter) >> Dan, the tribe has spoken. Time to go. >> See you, Dan-o. >> See you, Dan. >> Seemed like a tough vote. Probably won't be your last. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on New blood changes everything. >> There they are. >> Hey, come here quickly. >> We're home, baby. I'm ready to get in there, see if I can come out victorious. >> You come over, and we will go to the final five. >> Terry wheels and deals. >> I'm just looking for two people to swing the total game our way. >> And Bruce gets whacked. >> You know what? >> I just hit Bruce in the face with a machete. I'm out of here. >> I was a little surprised by Terry's decision. I would never have voted for Terry, but he's got to play his game. I know that you did what you felt you had to do. I respect that, and I wish them all the best. This was a wonderful adventure. I loved every day out here, and the only thing I really have to say is, thank you to my family for letting Dad go off on another crazy adventure.
>> Tonight, in a special episode of Survivor Exile Island, we'll take a closer look into the personalities of the survivors with 13 scenes of all new footage. (thunder crashing) >> Speak up. That's what I'm saying. >> I'm saying you have a negative attitude and it drains on me, so I stay away from it. (yelling) That's bottom flesh. I intend to keep them all to myself. >> (singing in foreign language) >> She's like, This is the girls' soap, you know what I mean? And what I wanted to do was look at her and go, That's the lunatics' soap. >> Yell, get it out. (yelling) (yelling) >> We'll also see highlights of the events that shaped the first 15 days of their adventure of a lifetime. >> Everybody here won't tell you because they're afraid to tell you the truth. >> What are you talking about? >> I want one, just one. I just want mine. >> Hunger... >> Oh, shoot! >> ...thirst... and violent storms... >> We're dying, fellas. >> ...push some to the edge of their capacity to cope. >> What are you doing? >> There's no reason for me to be doing this. >> The misery appeared to have no end in sight. >> I figure we've got about three more days before the entire tribe can't get out of bed. >> Exile Island was a place where some would be banished to suffer. And one would find a potential key to survival in the game. >> All right! >> This place eeds bad luck. Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION >> 15 days ago, 16 Americans landed on a remote island off the coast of Panama to begin the adventure of a lifetime. For the first time in Survivor history they were split into four tribes. Younger men versus younger women, versus the older men versus the older women. This is Exile Island. Throughout this game tribe members will be banished to this island. Wasting not time the tribes faced off in their first challenge. >> Yeah. >> Let's get it on. >> The losing tribe will choose one person to stay behind on Exile Island right off the bat. It was a race to find three amulets and Terry, Austin and Ruth Marie came out on top. Danielle finished last and the younger women picked Misty to stay behind. Then another twist was revealed. Hidden somewhere on this island is an immunity idol. Along the way you'll be given clues as to the whereabouts of that idol. >> Ooh, hoo. >> Arriving at their camp, the older women thrived under the leadership of Tina. >> The older women are performing very well. Tina-- she's a very, very resourceful woman. >> More of that stuff, keep 'er going. >> Good job, good job. >> The young men's start was not quite as strong. >> You tell me when you start of feel a little bit of energy. >> Our tribe's just hysterical. I mean, we all established within two hours of being here we don't have a clue what we were doing. That's a shelter right there, gentlemen. >> We don't want to peak the first night. >> While at the younger women's camp, in this never before seen footage, it was a struggle just to open a coconut. >> I don't think there's coconut juice in here. >> I hear it. Let's crack one open. >> We should. Doesn't seem like very much. >> Oh, no. >> The machete is a bit tricky. I'm shocked by how badly I'm doing opening coconuts. Damn. >> No, wait, wait, wait. Go like... >> Really? I always open coconuts from the front. >> We were all expecting I think a male to be here to help us out with that department. >> All right, you try. We'll take turns. >> Just don't come too close to me because I'm dangerous with a machete. Ready... >> Oh, that's it. Now do that against the wood. >> I love the machete. I worked construction for a summer and favorite part was demolition. And maybe that's that side of me coming out. >> Gosh, this is so easy. >> Yeah. >> Gosh. >> Those little coconuts-- they are hard. But I love taking that machete and just going to town on whatever I can. And it worked. I oke some coconuts. >> Our first coconut. We drink from the same coconut, man, yeah. >> At the older men's camp, everything was under control... >> That's the best smelling stinking fire I've seen in a long time. >> ...leaving time for Dan the astronaut and Terry the fighter pilot to make a pact. >> I'll never lie to you. >> Okay. >> I expect you to never lie to me. >> I'll shake on that. >> Yeah? >> Yeah, yeah. >> Shane however, was wearing down quickly. >> We're here... all four of us don't know to get the water. All four of us don't need to head to the path to find the mud chute. I'm exhausted, I haven't had a cigarette, and I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day for 20 years and I haven't had a cigarette in like 31 hours. I mean, I'm just at the end of my rope. >> Later that day, Tina made a valuable discovery. >> Holy criminy. An oyster. Ah. I just caught an oyster. It's just like embedded in there. That thing has been embedded in there for millions of years I think. Oh, my God, look at that. That is a lot of flesh. That's probably enough to keep me going for the day. I think it was the best oyster I ever had in my life. It was beautiful. I love oysters. (purring) Oh, there's another one. And another one. Got a couple lunches here. I did not tell anyone that I found oysters. I intend to keep them all for myself. And if you saw where I found them, there's no way they're going to know they're there. >> That night at the older men's camp, Bruce had trouble sleeping and he put his idle time to good use. >> Sometimes when things are bothering me late at night I like to eak away and just do my karate. My karate practice is very important to me, 'cause it always keeps me in shape and keeps my mind focused. I take my mind off everything else. I focus on each karate move. Usually executing a kata-- my ancient form movement. Usually fighting three or four imaginary opponents. Sometimes I practice 100 at a time. >> Bruce wants to come down here and get his Miyagi on in front of the water and karate down. I'm cool with that. I like odd people. I think he's got a lot of anxiety about being here and, uh, I think that's probably how he, you know, gets it out. >> When I'm doing my kata, I always feel like I'm trying to destroy my opponent. So I have to keep that karate as part of my game plan. >> On day two, Misty came up with a plan regarding the hidden immunity idol. >> I'm the first one voted off should we not win. Which would make sense if I was in their shoes. So when I see my tribe mates at the next immunity challenge, I'll trick them into thinking that I found the immunity idol. >> At the first immunity challenge, Misty rejoined her tribe and implied that she had found the idol. So, Misty, how's Exile Island? >> You told us there was an immunity idol on there and you told us where it was, so... >> So you spent a little time looking for it? >> Enough. >> During the challenge, the younger men fell behind early. Young guys still trying to get that rope free. Young guys in serious trouble. While the younger women and the older men cruised. Younger women have immunity! Older men win immunity. >> We got it, we got it, we got it. >> Down to two tribes. One immunity left. Older women, younger guys. In the end, the younger men passed the older women for the last piece of immunity. >> Come on, baby. >> Younger men win immunity! Older women going to Tribal Council. After the challenge, Misty arrived at her camp for the first time. >> I love it, you guys. This is beautiful. >> Well, when Misty came back from Exile Island, we were extremely anxious to know if she'd gotten the idol or not. >> What did you do out there? You were just like... >> Digging. >> She was a digging fool. >> You digged both days? >> I dig... I dug... yeah. Until yesterday afternoon. >> Like digging? >> Yeah, my whole focus was like, dig, dig, dig. >> And it worked out, I mean, you said you found it, so... >> It's that whole don't tell anyone if you have it or don't have it thing. >> I don't know why you need to keep it quiet. >> I tried to trick them into thinking that I had the immunity idol. I think Courtney called my bluff-- rightly so. I think she's very good at deceiving people. So I think she could see it in me, 'cause I'm really not that great at it. >> How long did you have to dig before you found it? >> All day. >> You found it today? >> No, it was yesterday and I was sitting there... Yeah, no, girl. You think? >> I don't know-- she had a good story. She could have it. I don't want her to pull this out of her hat later down the road, when immunity could be really worth something. >> Misty came back and told all of us that she had found the immunity idol. And I didn't buy it for a second, but the other girls seemed to buy it. >> Facing Tribal Council, Tina's tribemates were put off by her isolated behavior. But Tina's behavior was misunderstood. >> I wrote this in the sand for my son, Charlie, who was killed in a car accident just, you know, four-and-a-half months ago. And he was just 16 years old. So, I will come and talk to him once in a while... alone. >> Meanwhile, Cirie was worried about her place in the game. >> I'm really nervous 'cause I don't want to be the first one to go. >> So she set her sights on getting rid of Tina. (yelling) >> But Tina caught a fish, complicating the tribe's decision. >> I do think that Cirie's the weak link. There are a hundred reasons to keep Tina. >> At Tribal Council, Tina's outdoor skills were not enough to save her and she became the first person voted off Exile Island. Tina, the tribe has spoken. >> I think that if the dynamics had been different and we would have had the full eight people, I'd still be there because the men would have taken me for my strength and power and knowledge of living in the wild. >> That night, a heavy downpour hit the camps... (thunder crashing) ...and Bruce caused a small storm of his own. >> Yeah, yeah, Bruce, go down to the ocean. >> Calm down. >> I'm upset because Bruce used our drinking water to wash his hands, and we have, like, a half a bottle of drinking water left. That's unacceptable, especially when there's a downpour happening and you can just step outside and wash your hands in the downpour. You can't be, you can't be doing that. You can if you want to get voted off. (thunder crashing) >> Despite the relentless downpour, the younger women found new ways to keep their spirits up in this new footage from morning four. >> We should learn a Spanish song. >> That would be great. >> Okay, so... (singing in Spanish) >> Yeah! So, it's, like... On the island of women with my sisters of Bayoneta. (speaking Spanish) But still there's a smile in the soul. >> I like that one. >> So, you guys repeat. >> Okay. (singing in Spanish) >> It feels great that there's four of us now. We're all, like, content individuals, even though we don't really have anything. They're into, like, learning new songs from foreign lands and, like, they're just cool. Cool women. I'm just so happy to be here with them. (singing in Spanish) >> The four of us were just huddled together, soaking wet, just singing some songs, so it kinda warmed us up. It's so crazy to be here and, like, be hungry and cold and tired and be having so much fun. (singing in Spanish) >> I like that! >> You guys got it! >> Isn't it fun? >> But over at the older men's camp, Shane was struggling to keep his head in the game. >> You know, I think about everything that I'm missing right now. I think about my kid, and you know, there's no... there's no reason for me to be doing this. No more torrential downpours, Sir God. No more of those! (thunder crashes) >> Later that day, the four tribes met for a reward challenge. >> Green sweats. >> In a schoolyard pick... >> Cool guy. >> ...the four tribes became two: La Mina and Casaya. Bruce was not picked and he was banished to Exile Island, but with an unusual twist. You are the only person guaranteed to be safe at the next Tribal Council. >> Yeah! Thank you! >> Well, go. The boat's out there. The two tribes then squared off for fishing gear. Survivors ready! Go! In a utal challenge, La Mina pulled out a narrow victory. La Mina wins reward! Arriving at the new Casaya beach after the challenge... ...Shane quickly set up an alliance with Danielle, Courtney and Aras. >> I go on the beach and I was right there. I was, like, Here it is. You, you, you, you, let's lock in right now. (laughter) I'm serious. >> At the new La Mina camp, Terry was busy making an alliance of his own. >> Dan and I were talking that we'd like to make a bond with you guys. It's, it's in our best interest, probably. What do you think? >> It makes a lot of sense. >> The next day at Casaya, desperate times led to desperate measures. >> We're not really doing really well, honestly. I mean, we do not have fire, we don't have water because we don't have fire. >> Just that little bit is, like, so refreshing. >> We were all dehydrated, some more so than others. Courtney and Daniel have not had water for five days. Maybe these people can rise to the occasions. I know they're all competitors. Maybe that's gonna happen. I don't know. We'll just have to see. >> At Exile Island, Bruce battled the elements. On day six, La Mina set out with their newly won fishing gear. >> I saw some fish just right over there. >> ...but suffered a major setback when Sally lost the spear. >> I have some bad news. >> What? >> I lost that spear. >> Did you try to go back down with the mask? >> Yeah. It was so deep. >> I'm very frustrated about the spear. I had no doubt in my mind we would be eating tons of fish if we had that spear. >> At the immunity challenge, Terry carried La Mina to victory, virtually single-handedly. Terry hauling that anchor in! La Mina wins immunity! After the challenge, at Casaya, Shane wanted to quit. >> Hey, what are you doing? >> If somebody wants to quit, let 'em quit! >> But Aras talked Shane into sticking around... >> Just try it, okay? >> Okay, all right. >> ...putting Cirie and Melinda at risk. >> I don't care which one of you goes. Like, whoever doesn't go now is going next. >> At Tribal Council, Bruce returned from Exile Island and watched as Melinda became the second person voted off Exile Island. Melinda, the tribe has spoken. >> It's a hundred-times harder than you could ever possibly think it's gonna be. Sure, you know, it's all gonna be over in 39 days, but 39 days sounds like a lot less time when you're at home on the couch than when you're laying on bamboo. >> That night after Tribal Council, Bruce became a member of the Casaya Tribe, and his impact was immediate. >> So this is what we're gonna do: we're gonna filter water through three T-shirts, double layer. That's gonna be 90 pure water. >> I know that I was the last man picked, now I'm emerging as the top of the tribe. It's the best bottle so far. >> The next morning at the reward challenge, Casaya acknowledged Bruce's positive effect on the tribe. >> I feel a hell of a lot better. >> We got Bruce dawg with us. He helps us, man. >> Bruce is a savior. >> But his presence wasn't enough to beat out a sure-handed La Mina. >> Fire at will. >> Come on. Get it, Aras! >> Terry makes an unbelievable catch! La Mina wins reward! La Mina was on a roll. (all cheer) For the first time, the winner sent a member of the losers to Exile Island. (all whispering) Who are you sending? >> Bruce, we're sending you back. >> And Bruce was forced to return to Exile Island. >> You guys are playing for keeps, huh? >> That night, after the challenge, things began to deteriorate at Casaya. In this never-before-seen footage, frustration over losing boiled to the surface. >> We made a tactical error at the challenge. >> Like today, I said, I'm a wide receiver. I should be catching. >> Yeah, but that's all you said. >> What else is there to say? >> Speak up, that's what I'm saying. Guys, I'm not a good swimmer. Guys, I'm hurt. I can't do this. I'm not gonna be able to put my 100. >> It seemed like someone else had, like, a personal interest in being there. Like you wanted to out there and have the point. I was, like, You know what? Let me step back. >> Whew! The fireworks started. These are the craziest, sickest, aggravatingest, people that I have ever been around in my life. We don't have a team. It's the reason why we're not winning. >> I've seen four people walk down to the beach by themselves. What am I supposed to do? Run up to 'em, Hey, guys, what are you talking about, guys? >> Hey, so let's get to what you're really bummed out about. You're bummed out 'cause you're on the outside. >> No, I'm bummed out that you guys act like seventh-grade girls. >> We act like seventh-grade girls? >> Yeah. >> What am I, what am I doing, act like a seventh-grade girl, homey? >> When you throw your little tantrums over here, that's why I stay away from you guys. Like, Courtney's, like, Miss Negativity. Like, we're supposed to be this grownup-type family? >> This is my fault? >> I'm not saying it's your fault. I'm saying you have a negative attitude and it drains on me, so I stay away from you. >> Why would it benefit me? What group? >> The group; all of us. >> The group of four? >> Communication skills in most of this tribe are horrible. Bobby's really upset because he knows he's on the outside of this four-person alliance and he doesn't know how to say that, so he just comes up with different reasons to be upset with people. >> Instead of continuing this negativity, because it's not going to end, we're never going to come to a resolution about it. >> Yeah, we are. >> Okay, so right now, all that negativity everybody has, get it out. (yelling) (yelling) >> Let it go. We need to... I don't give a damn what everybody else thinks. This game at this point is a team game. So all of us need to come together as a group. I think a lot of people in this tribe are acting very immaturely. I've played team sports my whole life and this is the worst team I've ever been a part of. >> I think you need to lead the discussion, and then when you say, Listen, be quiet, I've heard everybody. Let's make a decision, then we need to just all shut up and respect that. We need leadership when we're deciding challenges. >> One of the good things that came out of that argument was that we decided that I would be our leader at challenges. Now a win could change the morale. If we win this, we're, you know, everyone knows we're back in it. Each one of us has to overcome our personal differences. Compete and be willing to work together. >> We're going to be fine. (thunder crashing) >> On day eight, Casaya was coming apart at the seams. It's Shane's thinking seat. It's mine for the rest of the... please, actually, could no one else sit on my thinking seat, please? >> Why does it have to be yours? >> Because I picked it. You want this one, I'll go get another one! I want one, this one! If you want this one, I'll go get another one! I just want mine. >> With Courtney and Shane there's always something. The funny thing is, these are the people that you guys decided to align with. >> Later in the day, in this new scene, the food situation at Casaya was reaching a critical stage. >> I'm so weak from not eating. This is fun. >> We haven't eaten anything today. That is the killer. Whatever is the next five levels up from hungry, that's what we are. >> There's a snake. Hey, guys, come look at this. If it's a boa, we can eat that thing, man. >> Are you sure it's a boa? >> Yes. >> You're positive? >> I'm 100 positive. >> That's snake dinner, o. >> Snake dinner right here. Who wants snake? >> You know, snake for many people means transformation and even healing. The snakes that go up on the medicine-- you know how they're represented there. Snakes are like power, transformation, healing, and as we eat it, let's just take in snake energy, because we're eating snake. >> Yo, don't eat it yet. Snake, according to Courtney is transformational... >> If Courtney says snakes represent togetherness, I'm willing to listen. As long as it's going to keep me in the group, then hey, to togetherness with the snake. I don't care. >> Here's to transformation. >> Transformation. Transform us. >> Tastes like chicken. >> You stole my line. >> Thank the snake for giving us his life. Thank you, snake. >> I'm eating snake! >> Bruce returned from Exile Island joining Casaya for a uising immunity challenge. >> Ow! >> After a hard fought battle, Casaya put an end to La Mina's winning streak. At Tribal Council the vote went against Misty. Third person voted out of Survivor Exile Island, Misty. Misty, that's enough votes. One question left, did you find the immunity idol? >> No, I did not. >> And Misty became the third person voted off Survivor Exile Island. Misty, the tribe has spoken. >> I actually was very shocked that I was the first one to go from my tribe. I knew there was a boys' club going on. I just didn't think that I would be the first female to go. So I was surprised, and disappointed definitely, very disappointed. >> The next morning at Casaya, Shane was having regrets about leaving his son. >> Today is my son's birthday. He's 13 today. He's a teenager. And I probably shouldn't have missed that. I probably should have not come here. My son's name is Boston, and we have an unbelievably special relationship. I was 21 when I had him. And the thing about this game is that you really start to learn and understand what's important. And I realize I've learned a lot about myself, and a lot about what I want to do with my life now-- which is just be close to the people that I love. >> You're the best dad in the world. You've got your son's name on your heart. >> Not the best dad in the world. I'm the best dad in the world for him. But I've been talking... I've been talking to him all day. >> Good. >> Yeah. We could sing him Happy Birthday. >> That's what I was thinking. >> Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Boston Happy birthday to you. (cheering) >> Singing Happy Birthday to Boston did make us feel more like a unit, like a family almost. And it was really nice. Even if it was just for those few minutes. Because believe me, it's not going to last. Not with this tribe. >> At La Mina... ...Dan ought Ruth Marie into the men's alliance... leaving Sally on the outside looking in. >> All I can do right now is keep working hard and prove myself valuable. >> At the reward challenge... Want to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah. >> A fully stocked bathroom was on the line. >> Oh, yeah. >> Go! In a close race... Both sides solving the puzzle. ...Casaya pulled out the victory. >> Right there. >> Casaya wins reward! >> Yeah, baby! >> And Terry was banished to Exile Island. When Casaya returned to camp... >> Beautiful. >> ...things turned sour over the use of the outhouse. >> My vote is to use the bathroom for firewood and just keeping things dry. >> Anybody mind if I eak in the dumpster? >> Use the bathroom to keep the wood dry. Bobby just frustrates me. I can't stand the fact that he's not a gentleman. >> I'm about ten pounds lighter. >> At La Mina, Austin took the time to get to know Sally. >> I was the kid who did everything by the book. Everything I did was, like, right. >> I can see that. >> And so, going through the whole divorce-- it was like the first time I crossed my parents. There's a lot of shame that comes in with that. >> ...and I'm so sorry. >> It's just really sad. It's just such a waste. Life is so short. >> Sally and I had a really good conversation. She's going through some tough times in her life right now. Her parents come from a very strict Christian background. And because Sally got a divorce, they have all but kind of cut ties with her. >> I can't regret any of that. And, uh... >> It's so hard to believe that, they're that black and white. >> The hardest thing for me has been what the divorce has done to my relationship with my parents and how, you know, it's gone through some turmoil. I know they love me. >> It's eating away at them, I'll guarantee. >> Yeah, I know they love me, I know they miss me. My parents don't know how to support me in this decision right now. I have hope that someday that's going to change and you know, our relationship is going to be closer. But they're needing some space right now, and you know, it's just hard. >> Sally and I have become close. I just think that she's an extraordinary person. I don't want to see Sally go. Maybe I'll shop my idea to keep Sally around. But I got a hunch it's going to be just like the fish out here in this ocean, man-- no nibbles, no bites. >> On, Exile Island, Terry deciphered the clues... >> Why has fate chose you to be the first one out here? Why? >> ...and found the immunity idol. >> Beautiful. This talisman can be used to keep you safe from the vote at Tribal Council. All right! >> While Terry cele ated, the Casaya foursome was falling apart. >> What? >> An aversion to working? >> Oh, okay. That's nice. >> No, I'm just telling ya, I think everyone has the same opinion. >> What do you do? Do you get water? You ever gotten water? Alls you do is ask people to get fire for you so you can ... do the fire. That's all you do. >> What do I do? >> That's all you do! >> I hunt every day, I go and get as much wood as you do. >> I don't help you guys catch food? >> I go and get as much wood as you do. >> I get wood. I go for water. I help you guys get snails. And for you to say it like that... >> And everybody here won't tell you because they're afraid to tell you the truth! >> What are you talking about? >> Danielle, Shane and Courtney, Aras foursome is like some psychotic joke. And it seems to be unraveling little by little. >> At the immunity challenge, Terry returned from Exile Island. Survivors ready. Go! And despite Sally's strong performance... Sally running across the beams. ...Casaya again came out on top. Casaya wins immunity! (all cheering) Sally was slated to be sent home next at La Mina. >> It's a shame to pack up my stuff and leave here with so much left to offer this tribe. >> But Austin made an appeal to Terry. >> We got to have our strongest team. >> And at Tribal Council, Austin's efforts to keep Sally paid off. The men oke their alliance with Ruth Marie, who became the fourth person voted off Exile Island. Ruth Marie, the tribe has spoken. >> I really thought I had an alliance with four gentlemen. But it's not a game of honor. It's a game of deception. So they didn't do anything wrong. >> The next morning, the fire caused sparks at Casaya in this new scene from day 12. >> Pretty much everybody but Bobby is working. Bobby doesn't ever catch any food, never gets any water. He doesn't even try to help get the fire going. For his size, he should have... I feel like he should have more strength. (laughing) (yawning) >> Bob. Bob... You feel okay? >> Yeah, I'm cool. >> Yeah. Danielle, apparently in her fatigued and dumb state, apparently thought I was serious. She apparently thought I really couldn't figure out that I was supposed to be putting the stick on the fire. She apparently thought I was serious. Just like completely over her head, like all this stuff is just, like... just gone. >> Here, let me do it, I'll do it. Bobby takes a twig. Where do I put this? And he did it, he said it, like, six times. Finally, I got so aggravated, I go, You know what, Bobby, I'll do it. Forget it, forget it, go back to bed. We figured he's a guy, I mean, guys should be good at that, that he would get it going. And he didn't give me anything. He just picked up and went back to bed. I don't know, me and him just don't click. We just don't get along. >> In this new footage from day 12 at Casaya, soap from an earlier reward was finally put to use. >> Thank God for that bar of soap. >> I mean, it almost makes you feel like a different person. We won in the reward challenge, three bars of soap, a back scrubber... After ten days of not washing any part of your body, it felt great. >> Danielle and I just wanted to have a girls' bar of soap and a guys' bar of soap. So far, Bruce has been the first one to use the backscratcher, you know. And Bruce has the soap, and it's like, covered in black hairs. And just to let the boys know, the soap that's wrapped like this is the girls' soap. I get kind of grossed out easily. >> What, you want the girls to use a bar and the boys to use a bar? >> Yeah, the girls to use a bar and the guys to use a bar. >> Well, the guys have two bars. We'll use one. >> We're out here, we're like sharing everything. Courtney's, like, this is the girls' soap, you know what I mean? And what I wanted to do was look at her and go, That's the lunatics' soap. >> Ugh! >> It's nasty. >> At the reward challenge, the tribes competed for food and wine. >> Oh, my God. >> La Mina took the lead. Terry with a nice grab. Bruce really having trouble. But Sally struggled and Bobby chopped his way to victory for Casaya. Casaya wins reward! >> We eat! >> And they won a bounty of fish and wine before they picked Terry to go back to Exile Island. >> Good luck, Terry. Casaya returned to a waterlogged camp. >> This is a nightmare. >> We have a ton of fish, but we can't cook it. Everything is wet. >> But even without fire, they manage to make the most of their reward. >> I've never eaten raw fish. I hope I don't wake up in the morning with some kind of sickness or something. (thunder) >> That night, Bruce and Bobby spent the night in the outhouse with each other and the last bottle of wine. In the morning, the missing bottle did not go unnoticed. >> Someone would have to pour it down my throat for me to drink the last bottle of wine that we as a tribe won. >> You really made a bad, bad call. >> I don't feel bad that I stole your wine. Like, I feel bad that I deprived them of wine, but I have no hard feelings whatsoever about the fact that you've been deprived of wine. >> At the immunity challenge... La Mina with a big lead. La Mina finally put an end to their losing streak. La Mina has it! La Mina wins immunity! At Tribal Council, Bobby paid the price for drinking the last of the wine and he was the fifth person voted off Exile Island. Bobby, the tribe has spoken. >> I was kind of mixed up with a bunch of little jokers that, you know, pretty much had it in for me from the get-go. In a game like this, you get enough weaklings together, they can form a pretty strong block. >> The following morning, Shane wanted out of the alliance he had built on the promise of his son's name. >> I want to ask you guys if I can take my son's name... >> Done. >> Done? >> Fed up with Shane's antics, the girls agreed immediately. >> Well, if that's how you feel about it, then fine. Get out of the alliance, you're off anyway. See ya later. Bye. Out. >> Meanwhile, at La Mina, Sally knew her days were numbered. >> It's been a rough couple of days. The four guys were kind of doing like a boys club thing. But I think it's short sighted. >> At a high stakes challenge for reward and immunity, there was an unexpected twist. The person you send to Exile Island will not go to Tribal Council tonight. That means they cannot be voted out. Terry's back with the last puzzle piece. La Mina took an early lead. Dan and Sally quickly getting to work. But when Dan and Sally struggled on the puzzle, Casaya... >> Step on it! Step on it! >> ...put the pieces together for the victory. Casaya wins reward and immunity! Casaya, who's it going to be? >> Sally. >> When Casaya chose Sally to go to Exile Island, it meant the end of the game for one of the remaining four La Mina men. >> I'm so happy right now. >> Casaya reveled in the glory of a Panamanian feast. >> I just ate everything in sight. >> With bellies full of food, their tribal wounds began to heal. >> And I apologize, okay? >> Accepted. >> But Cirie was not happy with the rediscovered harmony. >> I almost wanted to lose, because I really felt that Shane was going. But now... everybody's all in love again. Damn! >> With Sally safe on Exile Island, the La Mina men had to make a difficult decision at Tribal Council. And Dan became the sixth person voted off Exile Island. Dan, the tribe has spoken. >> As the days went on, even though the hunger grew and the deprivation grew, the sense of being part of nature also grew. It was beautiful and I was not ready to go home. >> Where 16 once stood, only ten remain. What will happen as the rewards get bigger? The risks get greater? Whoa, easy guys. >> We have a medical emergency. >> And one could be forced to leave the game. Join us next time as the adventure continues. Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on New blood changes everything. >> Hey, come here quickly. >> We're home, baby. I'm ready to get in there, see if I can come out victorious. >> You come over and we will go to the final five. >> Terry wheels and deals. >> I'm just looking for two people to swing the total game our way. >> And Bruce gets whacked. >> I just hit Bruce in the face with a machete, I'm out of here. >> So you guys want to come with a... our mantra? >> I think we need to do Bobby's King's Ransom. >> More like this. There are several poses. The King's Ransom. Dah. After The King's Ransom comes the Double Dragon. And then there's The Warrior's Honor. Piece them all together... Bah, bah, dah, wooh-wooh.
>> Previously on Survivor... At Casaya... ...Shane wanted out of his alliance. >> But I can't do that unless you guys allow me to take my son's name back. >> The next morning... >> I want to ask you guys if I can take my son's name... >> Done. >> Done? >> ...the Casaya women granted Shane his wish, and the alliance of Shane, Courtney, Danielle, and Aras was oken. >> Well, if that's how you feel about it, then fine. Get out of the alliance, you're off anyway. See you later, bye. >> At La Mina, alone amongst four men, Sally knew she was in trouble. >> The four guys are kind of doing, like, a boys' club thing, but I think it's shortsighted. >> The challenge was both for immunity and reward. You will go to a local Panamanian fishing village, you'll have a Panamanian barbecue. >> Oh, yeah. >> But in a twist, one person from the losing tribe would be saved. The person you send to Exile Island will not go to Tribal Council tonight. That means they cannot be voted out. Terry's back with the last puzzle piece. La Mina took an early lead. Dan and Sally quickly getting to work. >> Roll it. >> But when Dan and Sally faltered on the puzzle, Casaya... >> Step on it! Step on it! >> ...put together the pieces to victory. >> Go! >> Casaya wins reward and immunity! Casaya, who's it going to be? >> Sally. >> Casaya sent Sally to Exile Island, saving her from certain elimination. Boat's waiting. >> I felt like there was a pretty strong alliance between the four guys and that I would be the one to go, so tonight this is the safest place for me to be. >> I'm so happy right now. >> At the Panamanian village reward, Casaya filled their bellies... >> Oh, my God. I just ate everything in sight. >> Hyah! >> ...and got their minds off the game for an afternoon. >> I know it's only day 15, but damn, we really needed that. >> While Sally searched for the idol that Terry had already found, back at La Mina... >> It's been a couple challenges where he's not come through. >> ...the boys' club was about to lose a member. >> I think that the remaining three strongest men would be me, Nick, and Austin. Dan's odd man out. I feel bad, but that's the way it is. >> At a painful Tribal Council... >> There is nothing about Dan that needs to go. We're just down to a situation where somebody has to go. >> Sixth person voted out of Exile Island... Dan the astronaut calmly accepted his fate... Dan, the tribe has spoken. ...and his tribe stood respectfully as he gave his final salute. Ten are left. Who will be voted out tonight? (theme song playing) >> I'm freezing. >> Courtney, I'm not-- I'm not the only one using it. It's also Cirie-- it's under Cirie as well. >> And, like, no warmth. I was shaking. Last night was the worst night I ever had. I literally did not know what to do with myself. Everyone was cuddled and dry, and I'm wet and, like, alone in, like, a little ball. I mean, I'm... and also I just feel like my innards, like, inside is, like, freezing still. Everything I own is soaked. And Shane just, like-- instead of, like, even feeling that I'm, like, shivering and, like-- he just was elbowing me with his elbow. It was just like, Ugh. I cannot trust Shane and I don't want to deal with him anymore. He had a freak-out on us, and he said, Please give me back my son's name. I want out of this alliance. So, we're like, Oh, good-bye. Fine, we'll see you later. >> I know I'm still an outsider to Casaya. I just want to make the merge. The whole ball game's going to change big time and I'm gonna be there standing. >> Exile Island for me is my saving grace. It's not hurting me one bit to be out here away from the rest of my tribe. Happy to still be here and excited to see what's in store. I've been spending some time just digging a little here and there, and I don't know if Terry has found the immunity idol. I hope he hasn't. Maybe I'll get lucky. >> We'll have slugs for lunch and beans for dinner. >> Sounds good to me. I'm very anxious about what's going to happen next. Depending on when the merge comes is going to play a huge role in how far Terry, Nick, myself, and Sally will be able to make it in this game. >> What the heck is it? This thing we are looking for. Could it be buried treasure? Or something worth much more? I'd start searching On your back beach. Look for something That ain't quite right. But when you finally find it, You may be more comfortable Tonight. >> We just got some tree mail telling us we were going on a treasure hunt. Marvin Gaye said it best: Let's get it on up in this piece. >> I'm hoping it's something edible. >> I'm hoping it's something edible, too. I mean, what else could we have to make our thing more comfortable other than a Posturepedic bed? >> We got tree mail saying there'd be something on our back beach that wasn't quite right. On the way out there, we're thinking, Oh, I hope it's something to eat. I hope it's really something substantial to eat. >> Whoa, firewood. >> Got wood, that's nice. Do not open any of the packages until you arrive and are gathered together with the members of the Casaya tribe. Uh-oh. >> Merger, boys. Pack it up. Whoo-hoo! I couldn't be happier. That means we're going to be reunited with the other tribe tonight, ready for a new adventure, ready to shake things up, get to know some new people. That's what this is all about, so... can't wait. >> All right, I'm gonna start feeding it over to you guys. We're down six-four. The merge could be disastrous for us. If we don't get somebody to switch over right away, we'll just get picked off. We need to get over there and find out who exactly is aligned and who is not. I'm gonna hit up Bruce and see where he lies, Shane as well. What I'm hoping for is to switch the numbers to our advantage, and then we just pick them off. My ace in the hole is the immunity idol. I would personally not want to pull it out of my pocket till the final four, but if I need to use that thing strategically, then I'll do it. >> It'll be sad just to leave the tight dynamic that we have here with the four remaining members, but I'm ready to meet some new personalities, get in there, start bobbing and weaving like Sugar Ray Leonard, see if I can come out victorious. >> We're not doing anything. I don't think any of us feel like doing anything today. You know, we're just collecting wood, making fire, eating rice, drinking water. Really exciting, isn't it? Riveting. Oh! >> Delicious. >> And nutritious. >> Who is it though? >> It's three of them. >> So who went home-- Austin... or Terry? >> We're having a nice lazy day. We had a feeling a merge might come and we saw the boat coming. Is that Nick in the back? >> No, that's Terry in the back. >> We knew they were hungry and all of us just chowed the rice, 'cause... 'cause we're heathens and we didn't want to share. >> I hope they feel strong and feel like building us a new shelter. >> Hey, come here quickly, come here. All six of us right here, right now. >> We're eating as much rice as we can and then we ing it in together while they're paddling like, Stay together, don't give them a thing. >> I'm so proud of us. We've worked ourselves here. They have less than us. We have more. We stay together, we get to the top six. >> One, two, three... >> Believe! >> Damn! >> We're going to welcome them in with open arms. Welcome to our house, but we're going to vote you off one by one by one by one. >> You've arrived! >> Come on in! Finally! Whoo! >> Terry and Austin and I are paddling into shore and they're standing there waiting for us with open arms. They just welcomed us into their home. >> Welcome back. You look great. >> How are you? I'm Shane. >> Introductions start. Everybody says hello, the hugs come. >> I guess my initial concern is Bruce. Bruce does have a relationship with Terry, per the original tribes. This is Survivor. You know people can flip-flop. >> Hey, my man. >> Oh, God, I've lost you! >> Good to be here, Bruce. Good to be here. I'm so excited to have your face around with this merge, meet the new people, I could just feel a sense of wonderful things about them. >> I'm so happy to be here, man. >> Hey, Cirie! >> Hi to you, too. >> Terry and I respect each other, and just to be with him again is, like, just a pleasure. >> Sally! >> Sally made it, too. (cheering) >> Sally! >> I get here to this new place I've never seen before and I'm just, like, What is going on? Everybody's together. Is this the merge? And Bruce comes, like, trucking out of, like, the group of people, and is the first person so excited to see me and gives me a huge hug. >> Yeah! >> And then there was this crate. >> Let's open it up! >> Let's open it. >> Another message, oh, no. >> Read it, Bruce. >> Congratulations, you're all one tribe. Here are your new tribe buffs and tribe flag and paints. Give yourselves a name and design and paint your new tribe flag. You'll find drinks, snacks and supplies... (all cheering) >> Oh, fruit! Oh, Bruce. >> Sally, pub snacks, honey. Pub snacks. >> Chocolate! >> Inside the box was fresh fruit and jarred, pickled goodies, crackers and cheese and wine. I kind of wanted to slap myself for eating all that rice before they got here. >> I am a glutton right now and it feels spectacular. >> It was a very cordial gathering, everyone sharing everything, everyone being really pleasant, and I could sense there probably was a little bit of sizing up. I was a little surprised at how well we were welcomed. I thought there might be a little bit more of a competitive edge, but I didn't see it. >> Oh, good, this is really big. Spread that far corner. >> Yeah. >> You can attach here and here and here and to another post, so... >> La Mina came over from the merge with the tarp and our shelter was really great, but I think this one that they're building now is gonna be amazing. >> And this side over here, you might be able to keep this side attached to that tree open. >> All right, here's the deal. It's hard to tell, but I think Terry does not have the immunity idol, so the next time he doesn't get immunity, he's out. >> It's a whole new ball game and I'm all about getting it swung to my side, and so we're just looking for two people. Two people to swing the total game our way. And one to definitely make a good swing vote, but two to clinch it. So if you were worried at all about what may happen in the next vote... All we need is one person, and we'll be even. And I'll tell you this, listen. You come over, and we, we will go to the final five. We thought Bruce might be a little bit of an outsider here, so I instantly attempted to ing him into the La Mina fold and give him sanctuary right away. I will look you in the eye and shake your hand on it. And you know, you know... >> And I know you're the man to do it. >> That's right. >> You know I am, too. >> If anyone would flop, I think it would be Bruce. I think Bruce is the most worried about being accepted, and I think he might have some issues with, you know, wanting to be accepted by Terry. Aras's and my strategy with Bruce is to make him feel like our leader so that he won't go away, he won't fall on us. >> Bruce, you're... man, you're doing-- now, it's intensive, man. You run the show now, man. Hey, no, come here. Hey. Hey, Bruce. I know that, and I'm saying, right now, here, hey, you run the show. >> Yeah. >> You let them know. >> You're the senior member of the tribe, buddy. >> I'm the swing vote for both sides. It's such a wonderful feeling to be in this power position because I know I'm gonna go a lot further guaranteed. I've thought out the best options of all the other nine players, and they know it. As much as I respect all of them, this is a game now. Outwit, outlast, outplay everybody. (thunder crashes) >> Come on, fire. >> Bruce and... >> Terry? >> And Terry. I know. Damn. >> You know what...? >> Oh! Oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! >> What happened? >> You okay, Bruce? >> You all right? >> I cut my tooth. >> Oh. >> We're building the shelter, Bruce needed some rope cut, and I have the machete. It goes through the rope and hits him in the face, the sharp end. Oh, my God, I'm sorry, Bruce. Neither of us were really thinking, I guess. >> You chipped, you just chipped the top. The second tooth, the incisor. >> And that chipped a bit of his tooth and cut his lip. It was just a sickening sound. Initially, I'm, like, I'm gone. I just hit Bruce in the face with a machete. I'm out of here. >> You all right? >> He's going to need to get a stitch. >> I got a machete in my mouth. >> You know what? He may be on the DL for one day and that's it. He'll be back. >> I am, I am not leaving this game, let me tell you. >> Let's see. >> It did leave him a big gash in his face. I mean, I panicked at first. I'm, like, panicking about numbers for a second for sure. >> You know what? You're out of the game for a day, you'll be right back. All right, right back. >> Stitch me, I'm cool. I'll be here. I ain't leaving. I ain't leaving you guys. I got too much to do with you guys. Nick felt so bad. I mean, I just saw it in his face. He was in shock. He could have killed me, he could have sliced my face open. >> You all right, buddy? >> I had a tooth come through my lip before, no biggie. >> You are a tough son of a gun, man. (laughs) >> Psychologically, I want to outwork them, I want to outperform them, and when it comes to competition, I want to beat them all. >> Our tribe name is Gitanos, which means Gypsy in Spanish, I believe. And since I'm an art teacher for 34 years, I was designated to be the artist to create the flag. And it took me a while to think of what kind of lettering I want to do, how to lay it out, what will stand out the best. I mean, I want our group to be proud of this banner, and I want to do a great job for the group. Yeah, no question, yeah. >> Straight up and down. >> I went off with Aras to collect some firewood. I made some ambiguous chat about what's been going on at camp, because he and I did have a pretty good bond those days at Young Guy Beach. >> Um, I mean I'm good with everybody. There's no one I don't get along with. >> The only thing that I learned was it was gonna be a lot harder than I'd hoped to flip anybody over. >> Okay, Shane... >> Cirie? >> Yeah, you and Cirie. It would be you, Cirie and us four, and then you wouldn't have to worry about anything for the next two weeks. Think that would be cool? >> We can definitely try. Terry approached me and said, Here, you and Cirie, let's go right now, the six of us. You know, I mean obviously it's desperation, but I mean, Why would we want to join your tribe, homie? We're gonna ride this out and vote you off one at a time. There's no reason to flop. He's grasping at straws and I get it. I would be doing the same thing. >> I talked to Shane already, and our group of four would like to offer you and Shane the opportunity to take the burden of Tribal Council off your shoulders for the next two weeks. >> Terry tells me that, um, I mean, it was almost laughable. It was like he's offering me something. I don't think he's in the position to offer me anything. >> Okay. >> And if we can solidify this thing, that's even more time of worry-free life around here for the next couple of weeks. >> Right. All right. Well, I'll get back to you. >> All right. >> It was like a dictionary salesman. I mean, I already have an encyclopedia collection here, and you want to sell me a dictionary? >> Am I in? I don't even know what you're talking about. >> I know there is. >> You want to live the next two weeks burden-free? >> If you take a look at where we're at, we're in a really good spot if we just stay where we are, you know? Maybe somebody will flop. It's not going to be me. And I know it's not going to be her. I mean, getting to the merge with the numbers is the biggest part of the game. And I just know for me, I'm not flopping, so... Yeah. >> We were trying to sway Shane this morning, and that's not going to happen, not at all. In fact, he doesn't even want to talk about it. We're not sure about Cirie, and we're not sure about Bruce. So, even if we get one person, and it's five on five, it could be time to pull out the immunity idol that they don't know about. So, it could be my ace in the hole for the rest of the game. >> Come on in, guys! All right, so tell me about the merge. Nick, how did it go? >> The merge was great. We were ecstatic over at La Mina to get the news. It's been two days of love. The game was set aside for a day or so to get to know these people, and it's been amazing. >> You guys ready for today's challenge? >> Yeah! >> First things first. Take back the immunity idol. Thank you, Austin. Tribal immunity is no more. This is what you covet now. Individual immunity from here on out. If you have this immunity necklace around your neck, you're safe at Tribal Council. If you don't, as you know, you could be going home. Very clear. Okay, let's get to today's immunity challenge. It is a very simple test of endurance. You are going to hang upside down with your arms and your legs wrapped around a pole. You're going to hang there for as long as you can. You fall off the pole, you're out of the challenge. Last person left hanging wins immunity, is safe at tonight's Tribal Council. The other nine, somebody will be going home. Anything not clear? >> Pretty clear, Jeff. >> We've randomly drawn for spots. Take your spot, we'll get started. All right, everybody climb up your ladders. All right, get on. First individual immunity challenge is officially on. Hanging from arms and legs. Don't drop headfirst if you drop. What's hurting already, Cirie? >> My arms... are hurting. >> Those arms are going to give, Cirie. Make sure you let your legs down. Cirie first out. Take a spot on the mat. Very good chance that somebody hanging up there needs immunity and doesn't know it. Been at it ten minutes. And you start to feel your muscles cramp. Courtney doing some acrobatics, dangling from her legs. Sally not moving. Terry not moving. Shane struggling to get a different grip. Austin struggling to hang in there. Aras drops out, joins Cirie on the mat. Eight people left hanging. Who wants immunity? Who feels comfortable going to Tribal Council without it? Bruce not worried. >> Ahh! >> Sally down. Sally joins Bruce, Aras, Cirie on the mat. >> Let's get some food, Jeff, and I'll get down. Get my a cheeseburger, Jeff, I'm out of here. >> There ain't no food. >> No food? >> No temptations. Shane drops out. Danielle is out. Courtney drops out with a smile on her face. Three people left hanging. Been up there 20 minutes. Austin, Terry, Nick, fighting for immunity. Austin relaxes, gets another bit of energy. >> Terry, get off. I'm struggling, man. >> No way, Hoss, hang in there. >> Now the negotiations begin. >> Come on, buddy, I know you got pride, but let's save our energy. >> Austin trying to convince Terry to get down so he has a shot at immunity. So, Terry, you're in a bit of a situation. >> Yeah, they're my buds. >> But this is a game. Voluntarily giving up immunity is about the riskiest thing you can do. 30 minutes. This challenge is full on into the willpower stage. Mind over matter. How badly do you want it? Austin's out. We are down to two, Terry and Nick, fighting for immunity. Been up there 40 minutes now. Both guys trying to stretch it out. Where you feeling it, Terry? >> My right shoulder. >> Where are you feeling it, Nick? >> Forearms. I just need to get some blood to them. >> Nick drops out. Terry wins the first individual immunity. Terry, come on over. Turn around. Congratulations. You're safe at tonight's Tribal Council. Everybody else is fair game. Grab your stuff. I'll see you at Tribal. >> Possessing both the immunity necklace and the immunity idol, uh, it's a godsend. The immunity idol will be going with me to Tribal Council tonight. Hopefully I won't have to use it, unless I want to use it as a ibe down the road. I was thinking about you and your karate, and your, you know, your level of mastership. You are one of my things taking me away. >> La Mina's tribe, I have a bond with them, especially with Terry, 'cause I was first with La Mina. Terry, to me, is the number one head stand-up guy of everybody here. I'm kind of right in the center of both tribes. They want me to come over there, and the other tribe wants me to come over to that side. I just.... I'm glad they have a high respect for me. >> We've got to get this thing jumping before we leave for Tribal. >> We're going to Tribal Council tonight, and I'd be lying if I said I thought there was anything that could save me. Want to say a quick prayer with me, man? >> Yeah, I would. >> Because I'm taking off from this place, I know it... Lord, I just thank you for giving me the opportunity to come out here... I don't think I could have beaten Terry in the immunity challenge, so I went in knowing that I was going to try to make myself look weak, so I was putting on an absolute Oscar-winning performance. I was over there falling down and coming back up. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity. Praise Jesus. That was my plan was to show that I wasn't that strong. But it doesn't matter what happens, I'm going home. There's no question about it. >> Whoever gets voted out tonight is not part of the jury. That's why I was holding on for so long, is one of my goals is to make the jury. And now I know that since Terry has immunity, the next two walking the plank are Austin and I. I really hope that I make it through this one more vote. It's a big, big night. >> Bruce! Factor! >> Shane gets on the royal bellow, blows the horn, or whatever they do to announce a Casaya meeting, you know, makes a big show of it. It's like kindergarten, you know. He has to look after his children, make sure they're all on the same page. >> Of course. >> What are you talking about? First of all, this was a very tough two days. They were all over us. >> Yeah. >> I'm very proud of us for staying together, so let's, uh, talk about... >> Who do you guys want to go for? >> Courtney? >> I'm for Nick. >> I'm kind of up in the air still. >> You're kind of up in the air? >> I'm up in the air, so... >> Okay. >> I'm up in the air. >> Okay. (Cirie sighs) >> Um, Nick seems like Terry number two... >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> ...to me, just physically. Um... >> I don't know why I feel like Austin's the call, but you guys give great points for Nick. >> You didn't know the... >> The reason why we would want to vote out Austin first were because we thought he was more of a physical threat than Nick, but, you know, I think everybody got all freaked out because Nick did well in the immunity challenge today, so then the bottom line is, I don't care. I just want one of them gone, and one of them is going. One, two, three... >> Believe! >> Couldn't be much more obvious than that, huh? >> No. Would we be that cocky? >> You know, if-if you're going to just talk to each other, then talk to each other, but, like, all of a sudden parade off... >> Well, what do we do, man? >> You can be cocky, but it's cooler if you're not. >> Terry's pretty irked about the way Shane organized the meeting, so we'll just... You know, the little shot across the bow that we can provide, we'll vote for Shane. >> No, hey. Guys, this situation is the situation. There's no... >> I know, I know. >> There's no like, uh... >> There's no easy way to do it. >> ...prettying it up. >> I know. >> We just wanted to get together-- the six of us-- figure out exactly what we're doing, communicate, and to be honest, I don't care what they think. You know what I mean? If they have a problem with it, okay. I mean, they can have as big a problem as they want. They're, they're still going, one at a time. Barring any psychotic episodes from Bruce wanting to be dramatic and flop. Who knows what he's capable of? We just need to get this one person off. >> Courtney, catch me up. What's the new name of the new tribe? >> Gitano. It's Spanish word for gypsies. >> Who came up with that? >> It was sort of, like, collective, and everyone agreed it would be a fun name, so... >> Terry, when you got the note at La Mina saying, get in the boat and head over to Casaya, was that good news or bad news? >> Personally, I was hoping for one more immunity challenge, and with that, we hoped to knock them down one more peg prior to the merge. >> Nick, how do you change what appears to be inevitable? >> You just stir things up if you can, best you can. Basically, try to identify the fringe players, and then exploit their position in their tribe, and, you know, hopefully, communicate that to them in a way that they understand, and they're willing to come over to your side. >> Bruce, you get separated from your tribe, you've been to Exile Island twice. I would think your loyalties are spread all over the map. You have interactions with all kinds of people here. >> It's been a roller-coaster ride. I mean, I always seem like I was always on the outside looking in, and, uh, whoever I was teamed up with, I was willing to just try to do my share, and I feel they respect me, and I have a high respect toward all of them. >> Let's talk about the immunity challenge today. Nick, you were fighting to not give up. >> I mean, obviously, the main thing through my mind was, I'm going to be on the block tonight without immunity, but the one chance I had today was to, hopefully, show them that this is how bad I want to stick around, and if, hopefully, my actions... Um, hopefully, they... You know, hopefully, they spoke for me. >> Austin, you were hanging in there as long as you could today. What was going through your mind? >> Well, Jeff, I had a lot going through my mind. I was waging an inner struggle, because I could be on the chopping block because I was really strong, so I was fighting whether I wanted to act like I couldn't hang... or keep hanging and try to beat Terry, but long story short, I opted to come down, and, uh, probably going to pay the price for that. >> You say, Opted to come down. The strategy was, appear weak? >> Something along those lines. >> Shane, the second you guys found out there was going to be no food to tempt you down, it was plop, plop, plop, everybody dropping. That's the only reason you were staying up there at all. >> I mean, me personally? Yeah, I mean, I was waiting for a cigarette or a donut or a coffee or something, and when you weren't going to come with any of that, I was down. You know, we're sort of sitting in this position where we hold the cards for right now, so of course, I jumped down. I'm going to conserve my energy. We have our numbers, and we're going to stick true to them. >> Aras, a little worried that this is a very cocky group of six right now? >> I'm not worried about our confidence in the six. The whole thing of it is, is the wrench is, is the immunity idol. There... It's still an immunity idol that could very well be in the hands of people who just came to our beach. And so that is probably the only thing that I'm worried about. >> Would you be knocked over if somebody flipped from your side tonight? >> I'd be stunned. >> So, Courtney, you're pretty confident. >> Uh, I would be very shocked, yes. >> How about you, Cirie? >> Yeah, I would be, uh, flabbergasted. (laughter) >> Okay, Terry has the immunity necklace. I doubt he's giving that up. In addition, several of you have been to Exile Island. If anybody has the hidden immunity idol, and you want to use it, you'll let me know after the vote. It is time to vote. Nick, you're up. >> Cool guy, man. Just voting for you 'cause you led the charge to get me out of here. >> This makes me really sad. >> I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote, Shane. Shane. Two votes Shane. Shane. Three votes Shane. Shane, that's four votes Shane. Nick. Four votes Shane, one vote Nick. Nick. Two votes Nick. Nick. That's four votes Shane, three votes Nick. Nick. We're tied. Shane with four votes, Nick with four votes. Nick. That's five votes Nick, four votes Shane, one vote left. The seventh person voted out of Exile Island-- Nick. Nick, you have not been to Exile Island, so unless somebody has given you the immunity idol, you need to ing me your torch. Nick, the tribe has spoken. Time for you to go. >> (whispers): Cirie. >> (whispers): Nick. >> Well, as day 18 comes to a close, you are the final nine. Seven of you will ultimately comprise our jury. Two of you will make it to the end, one will win. With 21 days left, a lot of game left to be played. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on Survivor. >> I have it. >> Shut up. >> No. I have it. >> The hidden immunity idol begins to work its magic. >> Even if he does have it, which he doesn't, he's not about to give it away. >> You're calling me stupid? >> The hidden immunity idol has really shaken things up. It could change the game like that. >> I'll give you the immunity idol. >> All you kids in your mid-20s that are in my situation, confused, not sure which direction life's pulling you, you're just trying to find yourself-- I urge us all, please, be hungry, be foolish, block out the noise, find yourselves, be who you potentially are, and be true to your dreams and what you really want to do. If we all maximize that personal freedom, and we'll change the world.
>> Previously on With Sally alone on Exile Island... >> Oh, wow! >> Whoo-hoo! >> Give me some paddle. >> The La Mina men were set to merge with Casaya. >> We're down six-four. If we don't get somebody to switch over right away, we'll just get picked off. >> There they are. >> The Casaya Six saw them coming... >> Hey! Come here quickly! >> ...and immediately circled up against them. >> We stay together, we get to the top six. One, two, three. >> Come on in! >> The men were welcomed, and Sally soon joined them. The former rivals iefly put the game aside. >> Oh, fruit! >> Chocolate! >> It was a very cordial gathering, but I could sense there probably was a little bit of sizing up. >> Terry went to work on a new shelter. >> What's Terry building? We'll vote him off. >> He might be on the chopping block. >> Then Terry went to work on Bruce. >> You come over, and we will go to the final five. >> Then Shane. >> Hi, Shane. >> Then Cirie. >> Our group of four would like to offer you more time of worry-free life around here. >> It was almost laughable. I don't think he's in a position to offer me anything. >> At the immunity challenge... Cirie first down! One by one, the former Casaya members confidently dropped, leaving Nick, Austin and Terry to battle it out. >> Terry, no! >> No way, hoss. Hang in there. Austin's struggling to hang in there. >> Austin's out. Terry's determination paid off. Nick drops out. Terry wins the first individual immunity. >> Bruce! >> Back at camp, Shane made it obvious who was in control. >> I'm very proud of us for staying together. >> As the two strongest former La Mina men, Nick and Austin were the targets. >> Nick seems like Terry 2. >> I don't know why I feel like Austin's the call. >> At Tribal Council... Let's talk about the immunity challenge today. Austin thought he was gone, so he spoke openly about faking weakness at the challenge. >> I opted to come down, and I'm probably going to pay the price for that. >> The strategy was appear weak? >> Something along those lines. >> But, when the votes were read... Seventh person voted out of Survivor. ...Austin was spared, and Nick was sent home. Nick, the tribe has spoken. Nine are left. Who will be voted out tonight? Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION (theme song playing) >> I feel great. Here another day, my man. I'm here another day. >> During Tribal Council last night, Austin was, like, Oh, well, I tanked that challenge on purpose so that I didn't look too strong. I was, like, oh, my gosh, what have we done? I just felt like the wrong guy went. >> My mouth kept dropping each time. Yesterday, I thought I had come off with the greatest caper of all time. But when it looked like it wasn't working, and I'm going home, I wanted everyone to at least know, Hey, I could have hung a little bit longer, guys. Now, in retrospect, that was so stupid to let them know my plan because now I'm afraid people are questioning whether they really trust me. >> These snails are like members of La slimy and hard to get out. >> Oh, Aras, aren't you being cutthroat? >> No. They're cutthroat, and Austin is a slimeball. >> He's a slimeball. >> A slimeball. >> Yeah, you're right. I can't trust him. That's for sure. >> He's going to try to work everybody. The one thing we have to make sure is that we don't reveal anything, period. >> Today's a new day, and new numbers are rolling through my head. Casaya-- they're sitting there all happy because they have the numbers. But if I can draw two of those people over on our side, the tables could turn. I'm still a team guy. I'm still a La Mina guy versus the remaining Casaya members, and I'm hoping to turn it around a little bit, and we'll see what happens. There's always hope. >> Tree mail! It's going to be a fun one. Here. Ready? Skill can win a boat race, and making tough decisions takes some guts. But, in political battles, you'll always deal with nuts. >> All political. >> Tree mail said something about making political decisions and, as far as Austin and Terry and I go, that's a good challenge to have come our way at this point. >> Yay! It sounds like a fun one, doesn't it? >> Yeah. >> We're hoping that maybe it will create some conflict for the original Casaya members and shake things up a little bit around here. >> Come on in, guys! Ready to get to today's challenge? >> Yeah. Ready. >> It is for reward. Here's how it works. We're going to divide into three teams. Each team will have one boat and 100 coconuts. On my go, you're going to race to take your coconuts and put them in the boats of the other two teams. The more you put into another team's boat, the more it's going to slow them down later. Keep in mind, while you're doing this to their boat, they're doing it to your boat. Once you're rid of all your coconuts, get in your boat, paddle out, retrieve a tribe flag and a fishing net, then make your way back to shore. You'll use the fishing net to now carry all the coconuts that the other teams have put into your boat back up the beach, put them in the bin. First tribe to get all the coconuts in their bin, get on their finish map with the tribe flag, wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for? >> Yes. >> For the winning tribe of three, you'll be picked up tomorrow by boat, taken to a lovely little spot where you will find a bed and eakfast waiting for you. >> Yeah! >> Bacon, eggs, mimosas. In addition, the winning team of three will decide who goes to Exile Island. All right. We're going to randomly divide into teams. We'll get started. There are three teams: Shane, Terry, Austin. Bruce, Aras and Sally. Danielle, Courtney, Cirie. Here we go, for reward, a eakfast in bed! Survivors ready? Go! Trying to get all of your coconuts in somebody else's boat. You drop a coconut, you have to pick it up. Austin hunched over, moving quickly. Terry and Aras right behind him. Get those coconuts in the boat as quickly as you can, and get back! Austin and Terry unload into Cirie, Danielle and Courtney's boat. Aras going to load up on Terry, Shane and Austin. Danielle loses one. That's going to slow her down. The sooner you unload your coconuts, the faster you paddle out and get back. Aras, Austin and Terry coming with a lot of coconuts. Who are they targeting? Austin and Terry are going after the girls. Aras is heading right back to Terry, Shane and Austin's boat. Figured out a good strategy, ganging up on the three guys. >> Danielle, stay in their boat. We're not putting in any in yours. >> Aras and Danielle on opposite teams, but talking together. Danielle loading up on the guys. More coconuts you put in their boat, the tougher it's going to be. Courtney with more coconuts for Terry, Austin and Shane. Everybody following the lead of Aras. Austin going to give Aras, Sally and Bruce some of his coconuts. Terry heads to the same place. Bruce having trouble. Coconuts all over the place. >> Bruce, take your time. We've got a lead. Don't worry about it. >> The girls have a lot of coconuts left. They're falling behind. You can't paddle out until your coconut bin is empty. Aras and Bruce unloading on Terry, Austin and Shane. Austin coming down. Terry and Shane getting the last coconuts for their team. Sally coming down. >> Last trip! >> All right. >> Last trip for Aras, Sally and Bruce. Terry and Shane with the last coconuts for their team. Aras right behind. Terry, Shane and Austin heading out! Sally, Aras and Bruce are rid of their last coconuts. They're heading out. >> Come on, let's go! Come on! >> Terry, Shane and Austin right behind! The girls are so far behind they have to put their coconuts in their own boat. >> Come on! We're good! We're good! Keep going! >> Aras, Sally, Bruce close to their flag and their fishnet. Shane, Austin, Terry trying to make up some ground. Aras, Sally and Bruce have their flag and their net. They're heading back. Shane has the flag. Shane has the net. They're heading back. Danielle, Cirie, Courtney falling farther and farther behind. No shot in this challenge. Aras, Sally, Bruce paddling back. Shane, Austin and Terry paddling back. Going to be a race back to shore. Aras dives in. Shane right behind. Both teams clipping in. Start unloading coconuts! >> Austin, up here. >> You've got to use the fishing net to put the coconuts in. Terry throwing coconuts everywhere. Austin trying to keep track of them. Sally, Bruce, Aras seem to have a good system going. >> Right there, Shane. We're coming back. >> Terry, Austin and Shane coming back with a big load of coconuts. That's not all of them. They're going to have to make another trip. >> That's it! >> Bruce, Aras, Sally have all their coconuts in one load! >> Turn around! You can pull! >> Shane, Austin, Terry trying to unload, but they still have more coconuts in their boat. Aras, Bruce, Sally have all their coconuts in this net. >> Come on! >> Terry, Austin and Shane not giving up. They don't have a lot of coconuts left. Remember, you've got to have your tribe flag to finish. >> Go get the tribe flag. Go get the tribe flag, Sally! >> Sally forgot the flag, had to go back and get it. That's given time to Shane, Austin, and Terry. Bruce and Aras trying to unload as fast as they can. Sally has the tribe flag. It's coming down to the wire. The guys have to unload before Sally makes it up the beach. It's going to be close. >> Let's go. >> Sally's got it. Bruce, Aras, Sally win reward! >> Yes! Good strategy, guys. Way to play. >> Okay, Bruce, Aras, Sally, tomorrow morning the boat will pick you up, take you to a nice little spot, eakfast in bed. Right now big decision to make. Who are you going to send to Exile Island? You will choose one person from each team. >> From each team? >> All right, first team, who's going to Exile Island? >> Austin. >> Austin. First time there. Cirie, Danielle, Courtney? >> Danielle. >> Danielle is going to Exile Island. Boat's waiting for you. You're heading out. Bruce, Aras, and Sally, boat will pick the three of you up in the morning, take you to eakfast in bed. For the rest of you, I've got nothing for you. Head on back to camp. (thunder rumbling) >> Winning the reward challenge is the greatest thing in the whole wide world. I get to have eakfast in bed with Bruce and Aras, which is going to be really interesting. >> I'm getting irritable right now. Where is the boat? I wake up like a kid on Christmas. I woke up so early, but we're waiting for this boat and it's just not coming. It's raining out. Like, there is no boat and I'm just getting pretty anxious. >> Ship ahoy, man. Say it. Ship ahoy. >> There's no ship. >> The moment I won it I realized what I'd done. I not only exposed a little bit of my athleticism, but a lot of my wit. So the reward challenge did put a target on my back. I won the battle in spite of the war, maybe. >> Is that us? >> Excellent. >> Brucey. >> Sally. >> Oh, that's a nice sized boat. >> Yeah. >> Awesome. >> Whoo! >> Bye. Enjoy the bacon and the eggs. >> Aras, Bruce and I get in this boat and we're just like huddled in the front, like, drenched, having no idea where we're going, having no idea what to expect. And it's like this sandbar in the middle of nowhere with this beautiful canopy bed and it's pouring rain. And I'm, like, there is no way that that is our reward. I was so frustrated. >> Oh, the whole bed is wet. >> Gosh, that sucks! The sheets are wet; the blankets are wet; I mean, we're drenched; we're cold. >> Good morning. Are you ready for eakfast? >> Yeah. >> Just relax, we'll ing you eakfast in bed. >> Oh. >> Enjoy. >> All of a sudden this tray is set down and, I'm not kidding you, it went from, like, this cold miserable moment to the most incredible day ever. >> This is coffee. >> It was kind of bittersweet 'cause two of our friends had to go to Exile Island, but I thought there was a meal fit for a king and royalty. Orange juice, sweet rolls, fresh toast, butter and jelly and hot pressed coffee with cream and sugar, and the bacon was out of this world. >> Fruit? >> Oh, look at those raspberries! >> We just devoured it. It was every man for himself. >> That croissant put me over the edge. >> Champagne. >> Oh! >> To the victors. >> I never thought I could be cold and wet and in a bed with two strange men and feel so comfortable. It was the best meal I've ever had. >> Oh, I meant to ask Aras why he picked Danielle over Courtney. Do you think he thought Danielle could handle herself a little better than Courtney out there? My strategy is to try to coax out of those guys who do they think is going to be in the final four and with that, it puts two of their players kind of out there. >> What are your odds on the final four, man? What do you think? You, Aras, Cirie and... tough choice between Courtney and Danielle. >> I think we should put $20 on it, Shane. I found out some very important stuff. Two of their players, Danielle and Bruce, are the next on the pecking order, and if I can get those guys over to our side, this will totally swing the game. >> Oh, they are back. They got bacon with them? I try not to think about the eakfast because I don't want to hate them any more than I do right now. (laughs) >> Toast, yeah, toast with butter and jam. >> And then we had to listen to the stories of chocolate croissants and sausages. >> I had some of Sally's bacon. I couldn't eat any... I was dizzy. (laughing) >> Look at my stomach. >> Oh, my God. >> Rub it for luck. >> I don't care how big your stomach was. That kind of pissed me off. We're starving eating beans and you're going, Look, I'm so full. >> That's a belly! I know. >> I have to win something or I will die in Panama. (thunder rumbling) >> This sucks so bad. This is unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. It never stops. (thunder rumbling) >> Exile is just miserable. Ever since yesterday it's not stopped raining. It's cold as hell. This is the most miserable I've ever been in my life. >> This is putting up a strong fight to be the worst day here. >> Yeah, it is. >> And don't get me wrong: every day here sucked. >> Everything's wet. You can't even build a fire. Austin and I have been hiding under a tree, but we're still getting soaked and it's just miserable. >> Being on Exile Island under the torrential rains forced me to go into the quickest bonding experience I've ever been through. Luckily, Danielle and I got along great and she stood strong and I was proud of her. >> Out of all of the people that I had to get stuck on the island, I'm glad it was Austin. I know him a little bit more personally and I have a little bit more trust built with him. God forbid something did change, then, yeah, I am thinking logically that Austin would be, you know, a backup plan. >> We're now down to three ex-La Mina members, and at this point, there don't seem to be any chinks in the armor right now with Casaya. They don't like us; they don't want us here; they're just waiting to pick us off and you're going What can I possibly do to change this? What happens if Austin and Danielle found it? Who gets it? >> I have it. >> Are you serious? >> I am serious as a heart attack. I found it in 20 minutes. >> Shut up. >> No. I have it. I've always had it. I had it from the first frickin' day, 20 minutes later. >> Terry has the individual immunity idol from Exile Island and I just about pooped my pants. I dug holes out there, so I could just smack him, but I'm so thrilled to hear that. Holy ..., Terry. God, this is a great day. I love it. I mean, the whole game changes. That's a huge ace in the hole, and I'm so excited for the next immunity challenge because if Terry wins, he could slip either Austin or I the idol and I'm home. I'm absolutely thrilled. >> Come on in, guys. We'll now ing in Danielle and Austin returning from Exile Island. (applause) >> That was no vacation, buddy. >> You guys look exhausted. >> Worst experience of my whole life. >> That goes down in my book. >> What was the worst part? >> It did not stop raining. Couldn't get a fire started 'cause everything was just wet. >> I mean, we, the whole time, feared hypothermia. It was, it was miserable. >> And now you got to take part in an immunity challenge. >> It's unbelievable. >> Let's get to it. First things first. Terry? Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's immunity challenge, you will race through a series of Survivor obstacles. It will work in four stages. Here's how it goes. For the first stage, all nine of you must race to dig through the sand and pull yourself under a wooden fence. The first six to finish move on to the next round. For the second phase, you must complete a ain teaser. Four written clues will guide you. As soon as you're done with the ain teaser, you'll go up a sand hill, through the maze, over a second sand hill. First three to finish this phase move on. For the third phase, you will navigate your way across a rope idge using two wooden planks. Once you reach the end of the idge, jump off the platform into the water, climb up a steep sand bank. First two to finish move on to the final round. For the final round, you will race through a series of vertical, horizontal tunnels and towers. First person to finish wins immunity; guaranteed a one-in-eight shot at a million bucks. For the losers? Tribal Council. Somebody will be voted out. You will become the first member of our jury. The stakes are getting big. Everybody ready? >> Yeah. >> Take a spot. We'll get started. Here we go, first round. Six people moving on. Survivors ready. Go! Dig through the sand, pull yourself under the fence. Aras digging, Courtney making good progress. Aras is first through. He's stuck! He's got to dig a little bit more of a hole for his butt. Courtney coming through. Courtney's stuck. Aras still struggling. Scraping skin off. Shane trying to get through. Sally moving through. Sally's across. Austin nowhere close. Danielle's now through. Four more people moving on. Courtney's through. Terry's through. Two spots left. Shane is stuck. Gotta get through to get on to win immunity. Cirie is falling out of it. Bruce still fighting, Austin still fighting. Who wants it? Aras was the first one through the fence and he's still stuck. Shane moving on to the next phase. One spot left. Austin moving on! Second phase. Sally, Shane, Danielle, Courtney, Terry and Austin. First three to finish move on to the next round. Survivors ready. Go. It's a ain teaser. Read the clues, move the rocks accordingly. The green rock is in the same column as the black and the blue rocks. The yellow rock is to the left of the green and directly above the orange rock. Austin thinks he's got it. Austin has it right. Move on. The white rock is to the right of the red. Sally has it right. Move on. Only three people moving on. Yes! Go! Terry through. Danielle through. Austin and Sally with a little bit of a lead. Courtney has it right. Move on. Shane, move on. Austin really hustling. Sally moving through. Terry right behind making up some time. Danielle not giving up. Shane hustling to get back in it.

Sally's through. Shane not giving up. Terry, Sally, Austin. All three ex-La Mina members moving on to the next round. Here we go. First two to finish move on to the final round. Survivors ready. Go! Gotta use the planks to get across the idge one plank at a time. Balance, coordination, patience. Manage all that with immunity on the line. Sally with a bit of a lead. Terry right in there. Austin-- two days on Exile Island taking their toll. Terry and Sally neck-and-neck. Two people moving on. Once you reach the top of the platform, jump in the water, climb over the sandy hill. Terry and Sally neck-and-neck. Austin not giving up, but falling behind. Terry at the end. Sally, the first one on the platform. Terry on. Both in the water. Terry moving on. Sally moving on. Austin out of it. It is down to Sally and Terry. For immunity, Survivors ready. Go! Terry dives through, Sally crawling through. Terry makes it through the crisscross first. Got a bit of a lead on Sally who has to wait. Pretty even. Terry drops down. Sally takes her time dropping down. She's losing some time. Terry with a bit of a lead. Sally's gonna have to catch up. Terry up and over. Crawling down now on his belly, raking across it. Sally gonna have to make up some time right now. Terry starting to dig. Sally's gonna have to dig quickly. First person to the mat wins immunity. Guaranteed safe at Tribal Council. It's neck-and-neck! Terry's through. Sally's through. Terry wins immunity! Terry, come on over. Once again, immunity is yours. You're safe tonight at Tribal Council. For the rest of you, after 21 tough days, this game will come to an end tonight for one of you. Grab your stuff. Head on back. I'll see you at Tribal. >> I'm so happy to be back here. You guys have no idea. When Aras chose me to go to Exile Island, I was so mad. It was an awful feeling and one of the most miserable experiences of my entire life. Like, if you saw what pain and agony we were both in, you guys would be... We really are. >> That was fine. >> Going into the challenge today, I knew immunity was vital because my back is completely against the wall. So when shocker of all shockers, Terry comes through with yet another win, I realize that that was probably the end of the game for me. >> Good job, man. >> Thanks. Winning the immunity necklace again keeps me out of hot water. Kinda puts me in a place where I can use the hidden immunity idol as a big hunk of bait. >> I mean, we developed a huge respect. >> Does she want to get to the final five... Yeah, I have it, and I want to strategically put it on the line so we, us three, keep going. If Bruce and Danielle will come over to our side, we'll have the numbers. And to lure Danielle over, I will give her the immunity idol. We'll give it to her, but first I got to ask Bruce if she comes over, will you come over tonight? And if that's the case, if it all works out, then we're going to the final five. >> Have I ever told you how big of stud you are? >> Isn't he just sick? >> In a major twist of fate, I found out that my man Terry found the immunity idol. And now we haves us some bargaining chips. They're concocting their plan. You're not part of it, Bruce. >> Terry comes over to me and he said he found out that I'm at the bottom of the Casaya pecking order and I'm gonna be the first to go and Danielle second. You're at sixth place with them. Your only chance is with us. >> I like Terry. I admire him. Terry and I have respect for each other. And if I'm at the bottom of the pecking order, then Casaya tribe oke their trust. And so everything's up for grabs. >> What? >> Yes. >> No way. No way. >> ...so you don't have to worry about it. We wanted to play it safe. We get back from the challenge and we need to talk: who are we gonna vote for? And in my head I had already thought it out 'cause I'm assuming that if anybody has the immunity idol, it's Terry. >> That's crazy. You think Terry wants to give his idol to us? It's an individual game right now. He needs that in his back pocket. Even if he does have it, which he doesn't, he's not about to give it away. >> You're not listening to me. Have you listened to me one second? >> Yeah, exactly. >> Y'all chill, chill, chill. Aras and Courtney, they got into a big argument. The problem is Terry already has immunity. And then say Terry has the hidden immunity idol, he could give that to anyone he wanted to. So say all of us vote for Austin, and Austin pulls out the idol, then the person with the next-highest amount of votes, which would probably be Aras, will go home. >> This is so stupid. >> Would you hit me with just a little bit of respect right now? >> You treat me with a little respect. >> How am I not respecting you? >> Wait, wait. >> I haven't disrespected one word and you're calling me stupid? >> Just relax. >> Go over there and help Shane with the fire and we'll talk. Seriously. Because look at you right now. Go ahead, go with Shane right now with the fire. >> Did you see that? >> Yeah. >> For the first time ever, Aras really, like, freaked me out. I think the boys just want to cover their ass and they want to get the girls off. That's exactly why he was so aggressive about it. >> I've never seen him like that. >> He was, like, psycho. The hidden immunity idol has shaken things up. I mean I want to stay loyal, but if Austin does have the hidden immunity idol, then if Aras goes, well, I'm sorry but Aras needs to be voted off at some point. >> Courtney has not displayed one bit of intelligence since she's been out here and it's interesting that the two Casaya guys are not being protected by their tribe. Either it's shortsightedness or they don't mind losing one of us. >> Why? >> I have been on Exile Island for two days, I come back and, bam, everybody's going crazy. Austin and Terry said that I was on the top of the line to get knocked off. And then Terry promised me that he would give me the immunity idol to get me to flop to be with them. It's tempting. I don't know if I trust Aras. So I have a lot of power. The ball's in my hand. I could actually transform this game into a whole new thing and maybe there's going to be somebody different going home than everybody thinks. >> I do not agree. >> We'll see what happens >> Basically, we're playing a shell game. Where's the ball? Under which shell? And Casaya is divided on the vote. >> Great. >> So I absolutely feel at risk and I'm crossing my fingers and just hoping that I don't get a whammy. >> Hello, everybody. >> Hey. >> Hey. >> Let's start with the reward challenge. Aras, it was clear even to me that even though you and Danielle were on separate teams, you guys were working together. >> I feel like the team of men had a bit of an advantage and so I looked at my group and said Let's put all our coconuts in the men's boat and hopefully, we can get the women to do the same, which would give us both an equal shot at winning it. >> Actually, it was really a good plan for Aras because we helped him stop the men and helped him win. Sorry, Aras. >> Aras, it's tough to put yourself on a limb like that because you expose yourself. >> It definitely weighs on my mind, Jeff. Coming here tonight I know that if an immunity idol gets played, I could easily be going home tonight. >> So while Sally, Bruce, and Aras are having eakfast, Danielle and Austin are in hell. Austin, after those two days on Exile Island, is it too soon to say something like that builds character? Do you need time away from it? >> When I look back upon my entire Survivor experience, even if I win a million dollars, the first thing I'm going to remember are those two nights. I have never had a more character-building trying time in my whole life. >> Danielle, when you're in a situation like that and you're with a stranger, do all those things go away and do suddenly the two of you just bond together? >> Absolutely. I mean Austin and I got to know each other so much better than I did before we had that little moment together. It was a great bonding experience and I'm just so proud of myself that I came out of there alive and I was strong, and same with Austin. >> Change of topic. Cirie, so how is this group getting along now that you're one tribe and the numbers are whittling and the tension starts to mount? >> I think we get along fine until Tribal Council. When it's the day for Tribal Council, you see La Mina here and Casaya here and everyone's basically scrambling. >> Courtney, does it go through your head that somebody in this group of six might be looking ahead and thinking there's a time for me to move and it's before we get to six? >> I think anyone that's playing this game, if they're playing it right, they're going to be looking ahead. And there's so many unknown variables. >> And again, the whole immunity idol thing could pop up at any time and one of us could go home. >> Danielle, how do you navigate knowing that as the numbers dwindle, people are going to realize I'm on the bottom and I've got to make a move. >> It's very difficult. I go with my basic gut instincts. Whatever it tells me what I feel is right inside, I mean, that's the move that I make. >> Bruce, does it go through your head, maybe I'm 6? >> It's been going through my head the entire time. They could just be setting me up for the fall. Right now, I appreciate the six I'm with. But in the back of my mind, I feel that I could be the first to go. >> Shane, how much of your time is spent thinking about how tight is my six? >> If someone flops now, it's still five-four. So two people now have to flop from the six. Which I would find... it would be... I would be stunned at one, but it's impossible that two of us would do it. >> Okay. Terry has the individual immunity necklace. >> I'll be holding on to it. >> In addition, at this point lots of people could have found the hidden immunity idol. If it comes into play, you'll present it to me after the vote. Whoever has it is immune and the person with the next highest numbers of votes is out. It is time to vote. Austin, you're up. >> Best of luck to you, buddy. >> You are my biggest threat. >> I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote: Aras. Aras. Two votes Aras. Austin. Two votes Aras, one vote Austin. Aras. That's three votes Aras, one vote Austin. Austin. Three votes Aras, two votes Austin. Austin. That's three votes Austin, three votes Aras. Austin, that's four votes Austin three votes Aras. Eighth person voted out of Exile Island, first member of our jury: Austin. That's enough votes. Unless you have the immunity idol, you need to ing me your torch. >> Good luck. >> Austin, the tribe has spoken. >> Bye, guys. >> Time for you to go. >> Later, man. >> Well, from this point forward, the power in this game begins to shift from those of you still in the game to the people on the jury. You are now voting people out that you need to vote for you in order to win the million dollars. Just one of the things that makes Survivor so much fun. Grab your torches. Head back to camp. Good night.

And Shane has a medical question for the nurse. >> I need you to look at this. I have a chafing issue. >> This was bar none the hardest experience I've ever gone through in my life. It was very difficult for me to negotiate the line between integrity and playing the game of Survivor. I'm incredibly proud to have made it to the jury. To my whole La Mina tribe, you guys were an absolute joy to be around. Terry, you are Terry, you are superhuman and
>> Previously on >> I have to make fire from scratch. >> Here another day, my man. >> Terry, Sally and Austin face discouraging odds against the six remaining former Casaya tribe mates. >> They're sitting there all happy because they have the numbers. But if I can draw two of those people over to our side, the tables could turn. >> At the reward challenge, the Survivors were randomly divided into three teams and played for eakfast in bed. Bruce, Aras, Sally win reward! Who's going to Exile Island? >> Austin. >> This time the winners were forced to send two people to Exile Island. Austin, Danielle, the boat's waiting for you. While Sally, Bruce and Aras enjoyed eakfast in bed, Danielle and Austin suffered together on Exile Island. >> Out of all the people that I had to get stuck on the island, I'm glad it was Austin. I have a little bit more trust built with him. Logically, Austin would be, you know, a backup plan. >> Back at camp, Terry tricked Shane into revealing the Casaya pecking order. >> I found out some very important stuff. Danielle and Bruce are next on the pecking order. And if I can get those guys over to our side, this will totally swing the game. >> Go! At the immunity challenge, Terry won individual immunity for the second time in a row. Terry wins immunity! Back at camp, Terry and Austin immediately cornered Bruce to try to get him to flip. >> They're concocting their plan. You're not part of it, Bruce. Your only chance is with us. >> If I'm at the bottom of the Casaya pecking order, then everything's up for grabs. >> Hold on. Let me get in the middle. >> Then Austin and Terry made a bold promise to Danielle. >> It's tempting that I could actually transform this game into a whole new thing. >> But at Tribal Council, Danielle and Bruce stay true to their alliance. Terry kept his hidden immunity idol. The eighth person voted out of Exile Island, the first member of our jury. And Austin was voted out. Austin, the tribe has spoken. Eight are left. Who will be voted out tonight? Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION >> And you're at four years at which university? >> First, flight school for Navy is Pensacola. Then I went to jet training in Meridian, Mississippi where you learn to dogfight and drop bombs and shoot guns and land on the carrier. And then you get your wings from there. And then from there you go to, you know, say, Jacksonville for A-7s or F-18s, Whidbey Island for... >> He's a retired Naval pilot? >> And I'm already behind the curve and he slaps nine Gs on our way. (grunts) Wham! And my head just goes up against the canopy... >> How is any normal American person supposed to beat a Navy air fighter pilot dude? >> Maybe he'll eak his arm or something. >> (chuckles): God forbid. >> Oh, my God, I can't believe you just said that. >> I know. I'm sorry. >> All right, guys, here's the question. >> That's not in our plan. >> That's not part of the plan, Terry. >> All right, then I'm just gonna have to take you to the bank the whole time. >> If you do that, man, hats off. >> Tribal Council last night was kind of a bummer. Austin went home; that was the end result, but prior to that, there was a big swing play to try to get Danielle to come over by offering her the hidden immunity idol, and, uh, she declined. >> Mm-hmm. >> So now Sally and I are pretty much on our own, so my mindset is, I am totally motivated to kick their butts at everything that comes down the road. >> Where's his bag? >> I want to see it. Is it something fuzzy? >> Before Austin went home, Terry showed me some sort of hidden immunity idol. I mean, it was something furry. I mean, he could be making this up and he could have just, I don't know, found, I guess, this furry thing out in the woods and could be showing it to me pretending like it's the hidden idol, but I don't know. You have to be careful who you assume has it. >> I just had a nice long talk with Terry about his time in the Navy. >> I mean, it's, like, it's pretty cool that we're going up against that guy. >> (sarcastic): Yeah, really cool. >> We're gonna take him out. >> All right. >> He flies planes. He's not... >> Yeah, but he went to the Naval Academy, dude. >> He's not an American Gladiator, you know? >> This reward challenge, if any of you guys win it and don't take me, send my ass to Exile Island. >> Sure you want to go? >> I don't know if someone's found the hidden immunity idol, and I want to go figure that out for myself because I'm absolutely a target going into these next Tribal Councils, and I want to be there on that island scouring it and see what I can find. >> Come on in, guys. How's everybody doing? >> Great. >> Marvelous. >> Today I'm gonna tell you what you're playing for before I tell you about the challenge. It's been 22 days since you have seen or heard from anyone back home. >> Oh, no. >> And that's long enough. So to whet your appetite for today's challenge, I'm gonna give you just a little taste of love from home. Follow me. >> Oh, no. >> Have a seat. Well, it would be great if they were here in the flesh. They're not, but they did send some videos from home that will hopefully fill your heart a little bit. This is just a taste of what's on your video. Win today's reward challenge, and you get to watch the whole thing. Terry, this is your wife Trish, your son Danny... >> Yeah. >> ...your daughter Kayla and your dog Riley. >> Riley. >> You've been gone for a long time now. It seems like forever. >> Daddy, I really miss you, and I want you to come home. I hope you're doing good. Outwit, outplay, outlast. I really miss you. (clapping) >> That was awesome. >> Danielle, here's your whole family. >> Oh, geez. >> Hi, Danielle. I miss you, and I can't wait to see you. It's not the same around here without you here bothering me. >> We love you very much and very, very proud of everything you're doing. >> Bruce, here's your family. You've got your wife Nancy, your daughter Danielle, and I think there's a dog. >> Chaco. >> Chaco. >> Chaco, where's Bruce? >> Where's Dad? (barks) >> Oh. Oh, oh. Ah. She misses you. Yeah, she's a good watchdog, but she's not like having the real guy here. >> How long you been married? >> Almost 28 years. >> 28 years. >> Yeah. I'm more in love with her than when I first met her. >> How do you think she's doing back home without you around? >> I'm sure she misses my snoring, so she can't sleep well. (laughter) >> Courtney, here's your mom Barbara. >> Sweetheart, you just have to know that we are thinking about you every single day. We've got the candles going, we've got the fountain going, we've got the love signs going, and we've got the prayers going. We love you very much. Bye, hon. >> This is our love sign, like, in our family. That's my mom's, and this is my dad, and this is my sister's. And, like, so our whole family has these love signs, and it's really great. (laughs) >> Aras, this is your dad. >> Hey, Aras. (laughter) Long time no see. Remember when you used to do this? Anyways, come in with tepee. I have something I want to tell ya. >> The tepee in your backyard? What's that about? >> My dad's always wanted a tepee, and five years ago, his sister bought one for him, so we just have fires out there, and we'll sit and talk. >> Sounds like you have a strong connection with your dad. >> I do, so it's really nice to see. >> All right, Shane, safe to say the love of your life, your son Boston? >> (voice eaking): Not even a question. >> Hey, Dad, it's me. I love you so much, and I know that you're doing fine out there. Say hi to Loki. (Shane sobbing) >> What are you feeling now? Are you wishing you were home? Are you feeling good 'cause you saw him? >> We grew up together. You know, I was 21 when I had him. He is my other half, he is my other, he is my best friend, he is my son, he is my life. >> All right, Sally, here's your mom, dad, you sister and even your dog Darby. >> Hi, Sal. We're all sitting here in my new place that I can't wait for you to see. We're all rooting for you, and we all miss you very much. We love you! >> Love you, Sal. I love you, Sal. >> So your sister got a new apartment since you've been gone? >> Apparently. >> All right, so everybody's had a taste... Aw. (laughter) I couldn't forget you, Cirie. Here's your son Jared and Jamil and your husband H.B. >> Mm-hmm. Oh, my God. >> Hey, Mom. >> Hey, honey bunny. We missed you a lot, honey. >> Yes... >> Yes. It ain't the same without you being around here. We miss your laugh, your smile, just everything. >> Does that make you wish you were home, or are you just feeling better now that you've seen them? >> I'm happy that I saw... saw them, but it makes it harder for me here. (Cirie sniffles and sighs) But all of this is for them, so... >> Win today's reward challenge, you get to see the rest of your video, and you'll enjoy something else that will make you think of home-- peanut butter and jelly sandwiches... >> Oh! >> ...and ice cold milk. >> Ah! >> Want to hear about the challenge? >> Yes! >> Yeah! >> All right, you're going to divide into two teams of four, and you will most definitely have to work together to win this. One person will lie face-down on a cradle that is suspended in the air by bungee cords. Attached to that cradle are three ropes. The other three people on your team will pull those ropes to maneuver the person on the cradle as they grab 15 flags and place them in order, one at a time, in their appropriate slots. First tribe to get all 15 in order wins reward. In addition, the winning team of four decides who goes to Exile Island. All right, we're going to randomly divide into two even teams of men and women. Let's go. Okay, in the white cradle, we have Courtney being pulled by Bruce, Sally, Terry. In the black cradle, it's Danielle being pulled by Aras, Cirie and Shane. Here we go. For reward. Survivors ready? Go! Got to get the flags one at a time and in order. >> Get it! Get it! >> Danielle has the first flag. >> Good. This way, this way. >> She's got it in the slot. Looking for flag number two. Courtney has her first flag. >> Get down and pull. Come on, let's go. >> And it's in. >> Where to? >> This way, this way. >> Come on, other side. Go inside, inside, inside! >> Bruce, Sally, Terry trying to get Courtney turned around. >> Turn around, Court. >> Danielle has her second flag. Cirie, Aras, Shane pull it right into the slot. >> Three's over there. >> Go, go, go, go, go! Take her over, take her over! >> Come on. >> We got to work all together. >> Okay. >> Three's on the other side. Other side. Let's go... >> Hey, back over here. >> I got it, I got it. >> Okay, let's go this way. >> Danielle on to her third flag. Cirie, Shane, Aras working very well. >> This way, this way. >> Get her over there. All three, all three, all three. Run, run, run, run, run! >> Courtney has her third flag. >> Where's four? >> To your left. Up high, up high. Come on, swing me, swing me! Swing me! >> All right, now. >> Danielle gets it, has the fourth flag! >> Get up, up! >> Hold on. >> Over there. Okay, okay. >> I got the flag. >> You got it. >> Danielle has her fifth flag, and it's in. Don't knock those flags out. >> Come on, Shane! >> Come on. >> Courtney, Bruce, Sally, Terry trying to stay in this. >> Fourth tie, fourth tie! >> Got it. >> Danielle with flag number six. Courtney right behind with her sixth flag. >> You got? >> We are tied, six-six. Both teams with their seventh flag. >> Come on. >> Flying back to put it in the slot. Shane, Aras, Cirie get Danielle there. We're tied, seven-seven. >> On this side, right behind you. >> Okay. >> Pull, Shane. >> Come on, Shane, come on! >> Danielle has flag number eight. >> Go, go, go, go! >> Courtney has her eighth flag. >> Come on. It's over here. >> Get down. Get down and pull. Come on, pull, pull, pull! >> Here, here, here! >> Watch. >> ! >> Oh, got to go back. Aras knocked a flag out. Got to get that first flag back in the slot, and that's going to cost them some time. >> Now! >> Oh, yeah, got it... >> Terry, Sally, Bruce have a good system now! >> Come on, come on! Come on! >> Watch your feet. >> Let's go! >> Where's ten? >> Ten right here. (Danielle grunts and sighs) >> Danielle frustrated. Can't get it in. >> ! >> She has it. Don't knock it out. >> Careful! Careful, Shane! >> Courtney with the eleventh flag. Shane, Aras, Cirie going to have to make up some time right now. >> Come on, guys! (grunts) >> Where's Shane? >> Shane right through there. >> Whoa. >> Be careful, be careful. (grunting) >> Courtney, Terry, Bruce, Sally now lead 12-nine. Danielle, another flag has been knocked down. >> Keep it tight! (laughs) I can't get it! >> Courtney, it's right here. >> Pull me down more! >> Terry, Sally, Bruce, Courtney have one flag left. (Bruce grunting) >> Come on! >> Take the... Take your time! Take your time! >> Swing me, swing me! (grunting) >> Loved one's video, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, ice cold milk. >> Yeah! >> Reward for Courtney, Terry, Bruce and Sally! >> Yes! Again, the factor! >> Damn. >> Oh. >> Okay, before we get to the rest of the your reward, big decision. You're sending one person to Exile Island. Is it going to be Danielle, Aras, Cirie or Shane? >> Okay. >> Who's it going to be? >> Aras. >> Aras, get your stuff. The boat's coming to pick you up. >> Bye, Aras. >> Shane, Cirie, Danielle, I'm genuinely sorry that the rest of the afternoon doesn't include you. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. >> Enjoy your families, guys. >> See you. >> Thoughts with you guys. >> Okay, now comes the fun-- videos and peanut butter and jelly. Let's go. (indistinct chatter) (laughter) >> You know what I mean? So, let's just... If you're going to lose one, let's lose this one. The tapes would have wrecked us, dude. >> I know. >> Shane and Danielle and myself returned to camp. Shane kind of said this wasn't like the hugest challenge to lose, but he was just trying to, uh, kind of lift our spirits. Yay! Home! >> I have an issue with my penis. (Cirie laughs) I'm so sorry. >> Then, Shane had a medical emergency. (Cirie laughs) >> Oh, something's really going on. I need you to look at it real quick. >> (laughing): I don't want to look at it. >> You're a nurse! >> I know. >> Can you explain it to me, or do I have to look at it? >> Shane has this funky thing going on with his, uh, testicles, to put it nicely. Lucky me, being the only nurse out here, he wanted me to take a look at 'em. (Cirie laughs) Yay! >> Don't be laughing. >> All right. >> Hey, don't laugh. It's a... not a... Here. (Cirie laughs) >> What?! >> That's because it's wet all the time. Your clothes are moist. It's like chafing. You know, like diaper rash on a baby? >> Yeah. That's what that is? >> I tried to be as professional as I could under the circumstances, but it was just so hilarious. (Cirie laughing) >> Is that because I've been wearing those undies for 23 days? >> It's a good guess, Shane. >> How do I make that go away? >> Can you dry it out? >> What's wrong with him? >> Just like a little red, and then he's naked. Oh, my God. >> Yo. I'm eating. (Cirie sighs) >> Can I do a skirt glove? >> No. Do your shirt. Do your shirt. >> I guess. >> Shane is like a cartoon character, and now he's like a nude cartoon character, but that helped me so much, because I kind of forgot about what I was missing. >> Ladies, it's my chafing skirt. >> Okay. (bird singing) >> There's two reasons I'm really happy to be out here. One, I get to spend some time by myself and really step away from the game. And, two, I get a chance to look for the immunity idol. Immunity is very important, and the hidden immunity idol is, obviously, clearly, very important, but I just can't seem to wrap my mind around these clues. One of the problems with the clue is that it says it's under a rock. People have moved rocks, so, I don't know if I'm digging a hole where there is nothing to dig, or I don't know what's going on. I'm sure a lot of that just has to do with mental fatigue of being out here for days. >> Terry is the person I fear may have the idol. It would be a real easy move on his part to just send me out here, knowing I'm his biggest physical competitor, and that, you know, it might weaken me physically to be out here. So his quickness to send me might suggest that there is no immunity idol out here, so there's no sense in me looking for it. >> Yo, they're home. >> Are we...? >> Boo, boo, boo. When Sally and the other team that won-- when they came back, I didn't even want to see them. I was just kind of like already aggravated that we lost, and the last thing I want to know is how full their bellies are, and how great it was to see their families. >> Oh, you guys got your luxury items, too? >> Yeah. >> Hey. >> You always want to learn how to swing a shovel. >> You guys get to learn our fire dance. >> And then, you know, when they walked back in, and they all had their luxury items, I'm, like, oh, wow, you know, that's a double whammy. >> It's all right, honey. You can't... You guys won. You know what I mean? >> I know. >> You need help, Terry? >> After the food for the soul and the heart with the videos came luxury items for us four members. It was great. Just kind of hook this in for now. (Bruce mumbles) Thank you for asking me. Both my father-in-law and my father were Korean war vets, and, uh... and they recently passed away, and this was on my father-in-law's casket. So in order to honor both my father and my father-in-law, going to hang here at, uh, Gitanos for a while, and, uh, hopefully till day 39. >> What did you guys, what did you ing? Love it! >> Sally ought her journal, Bruce has a sketchbook, and Terry has the American flag, go figure. But I thought Courtney's luxury items were like the coolest. (Courtney laughing) >> It makes me so happy, you know. It's a toy for everyone. It's really fun. This is, like, my-my joy. >> But it's hard when you're the loser, and everybody is like (laughing): I got this! And look what I...! Who cares? You know, you want to say, Who cares? Get out of here, but you can't. It's a game, so you have to kind of keep it together. (birds screeching) >> Then it's up to you to either get Courtney, Danielle, or Cirie to come over and one of us would have to win the next challenge. That way we could share the hidden immunity idol, and we would have numbers. >> There are currently six ex-Casaya members that are staying loyal and true to each other, versus Terry and I, the two ex-La Mina members who are left. Like, what if we said to, like, Danielle or Courtney or whoever, say, like, you or I won the next immunity, and we said, we're going to play that thing tonight, so you better jump on now. >> You know, we could play the hidden immunity idol, and we could, you know, one of us will be immune. So one of you are going home. >> If Terry or I win immunity today, and Terry decides that he wants to play the hidden immunity idol, one of the other six ex-Casaya members will go home tonight. Because the immunity idol can be used after the vote is made, which means we would all have to show our cards and then the next person who has the most votes would get kicked off, and so I have a lot of hope that things could change today in this game. >> What do we have to do other than beat you at immunity? Do you know of anything? >> I don't know, you better not think about anything else. >> How about this: if you don't win immunity, and you don't have that silly idol from that goofy island, you're gone. >> Yeah, well, you never know. >> Come on in, guys! Hello. >> Good morning. >> We'll now ing in Aras, returning from Exile Island. >> Morning, beast. >> Hey. >> What's up, fellas? (applause) >> A day and a half of meditation never hurt nobody. >> Brucey. >> Aras, two days out there. How was it? >> It was surprisingly nice. I made fire, like, the first three minutes. I ate a lot, I hydrated myself really well. I got a little time for myself and a little time to look for the idol. >> So overall, Exile Island was not that bad? >> No, but I don't know if I'd want to go right back. >> All right, before we get to the challenge, I'm going to hand each of you a nut and a shell. Without conferring with anybody, put the shell in one hand, put the nut in the other hand. I'll explain how these come into play in a minute. And I'll take the immunity necklace from you. Immunity, once again back up for grabs. For today's challenge, this is how it works: sitting on the ocean floor is a long plank with seven symbols on it. On my go, you're going to swim out, memorize as many of those symbols, in order, as you can, then race back to the beach where you will attempt to replicate those symbols in the same order on your answer board. The first person to solves it correctly, wins immunity, guaranteed a one in seven shot at $1 million. Losers, Tribal Council tonight, and for one of you, this game will come to an end. Now, there's a twist to today's challenge: if immunity is just not that important to you, you don't have to take part in today's challenge. Instead, you can chow down... >> Oh! >> ...on cheeseburgers, French fries... >> Me. >> ...and soft drinks. You can eat for as long as the challenge goes, or until the food runs out. Put the shell in one hand, put the nut in the other hand. When I tell you to reveal if you want to take part in the challenge, you will show me the shell. If instead you want to eat food, you'll show me the nut. Three, two, one, reveal. Okay, Aras is going to take part in the challenge. Sally is taking part in the challenge. Terry is taking part in the challenge. Bruce, Cirie, Courtney, Shane, and Danielle are all saying, I don't need immunity. I'm going to eat. You five take a spot on the picnic table. The other three, down here at the answer booth. >> Aras, it's all you. >> Yeah. >> All right, it's Terry Aras, and Sally fighting for immunity while Shane, Danielle, Courtney, Cirie, and Bruce chow down and enjoy the show. Survivors, ready? Go! Got to swim out, memorize the symbols in order. Shane digging in, Danielle digging in. Cirie already got a bite. Bruce not waste any time. We have two challenges going on. How much food can you get down before somebody wins immunity? Terry going down. Aras taking a dip to look. Sally taking a dip to look. A lot of French fries, a lot of cheeseburgers. Terry thinks he has it memorized. He's coming back. >> Oh, no. >> Aras heading back. Sally still working on it. Five very secure people chowing down. Terry first back. He's going to give a go. Aras right behind him. Sally heading back. You're looking to get all seven symbols in the same order. >> Go, Sally! >> Sally making her way back. Sally trying to work hers out up top before she commits. >> Take your time, guys. >> Who's on their second burger? Shane and Cirie. Bruce on his second burger. Terry working it out. Immunity on the line. No. Aras doesn't have it. Aras swimming back out for another look. >> Here you go. >> Terry thinks he has it. >> Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. >> Terry wins immunity for the third straight time! >> Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yes...! Yes! >> Stop eating. Put it down. Put it down, guys. Terry, come on over. For the third straight time, individual immunity. You're safe at Tribal Council. With this around your neck, you cannot be voted out. For the other seven of you, after 24 days, tonight, this game will come to an end for one of you. Head on back to camp. See you at Tribal. (laughing quietly) >> Did you get the clue? >> Yeah, I got the clue. But it's hard to find. >> Oh, really? >> No, no, there are two choices. Either it was really easy to find and he got it right away. >> Oh, right. >> Or... or no one's got it. >> So, we vote Sally, 6-0 tonight... >> Okay. >> ...and hope to God he doesn't have it? >> Yeah. Thanks for standing up for Casaya. >> I should have won it. Today's immunity challenge, anybody who wanted to not participate in the challenge could sit and have cheeseburgers. There was no question what I was going to do, because it's very possible that I could go home today. If Sally ends up having the hidden immunity idol, then Sally and Terry's vote will knock somebody out. >> I think Terry just showed the hidden immunity idol. Until this moment, I really was kind of questionable about him having the immunity idol, but I believe that is the immunity idol, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens tonight. >> Tonight... if two of you said we will vote with you... >> Aras. >> If two of us would vote with you guys... >> The goal was to get two people, so it would be Terry, myself, and two others. It'd be four against four, we'd have the idol, we'd play it, and what he wants to see happen is us eak up 'cause it's going to happen anyway, so he's like, Why don't a couple of you want to guarantee yourself a spot in the final four? I'm giving everybody in camp the impression that the hidden immunity idol will be played tonight. Terry may decide that it isn't worth giving up the idol at this point, but it's most advantageous for us to eak up this strong six as soon as possible and watch them unravel and watch them scurry a bit. Otherwise, I'm gone. >> You're saying that you're giving your immunity idol to Sally? >> I'm not saying I have it. I'm just saying it's out there and it could be put in play tonight, and what I am proposing is getting Bruce on our side and then get somebody else like you to come over and make it a guaranteed four and then we'll vote the four votes for Aras and then he'll be gone. >> I can't-- I can't commit to this at this moment. >> Okay. Guaranteed final four. >> I would like to align with Terry because I really want to go up against him in the final two. If, further down the line, we can make a deal... >> It's got to be tonight. It's got to be tonight with Sally. >> If we do remove Aras, then no one will be able to beat Terry, but then on the other point, Aras is more of a threat than Terry because he'd be much harder to beat in the final two. There's no clear-cut way for me to go right now. I'm really-- I'm still kind of confused in my mind. >> Terry, he's trying to win every immunity challenge. You mean to tell me you have an ace in the hole and you're gonna just hand that over, because you're such a nice person, to somebody else? Come on, give me a eak. I mean, I'll be surprised. He may do it and if he does, that will go down as the worst move in Survivor history because then he has to win every single challenge. But, hey, I've seen crazier things happen, so we'll see tonight. >> This is our fire, our life, our journey together. We're so blessed. >> No answer? >> No answer. She's into her fire thing, but she can't make a decision and I'm like, Make a freaking decision. If Courtney does not sway tonight, I may or may not give the immunity idol to Sally. If it has to come into play, it will. I feel a little bit of risk hanging it out there, but if I come away tonight with the numbers, then I can sit back and don't have to win another immunity challenge until the final three. >> We'll now ing in the first member of our jury-- Austin, voted out at the last Tribal Council. (laughter) >> Wow. >> Okay, today's immunity challenge. You were given a very simple option-- participate or feast-- and no sooner did I get cheeseburger out of my mouth, five of you guys are like, I'm eating, I'm eating, I'm eating. Shane, worried at all that that bold of a move could come back to haunt you? >> First of all, I just would like to say I over-performed at the challenge today. I got almost two cheeseburgers down with nine fries and almost an entire glass of Coke, but there was a part of me that regretted doing that. There was part of me that felt like I, for the team, needed to show up and try to get immunity away from Terry because it's going to be very difficult, but I also know that I don't feel in my gut of guts that I needed to get immunity today, and I was-- I'm starving. >> Sally, got to be a little frustrating because... >> It's so frustrating. I mean, the people who are confident in this game get to be confident and, you know what, if they're secure in that, more power to them. I mean, I didn't for one second consider eating that cheeseburger today. It was the easiest meal that I have had to pass up out here just because I needed that immunity today. >> Aras, you had to feel a little irritated that the responsibility to win it for Casaya came down to one guy. >> Yeah, that was a little bit disappointing of the Casaya folk, whose heads could possibly be on the chopping block if a hidden immunity idol gets played. My head is definitely one of those, but more so than that, it's a strategy. The quicker that we can get Terry's immunity necklace, which-- I call it Terry's 'cause he's the only one who's worn it so far-- off of his neck, the quicker that we can get into our strategy. We didn't, it's over, and so now the lay of the land is a lot less safe for myself, but it is what it is. >> Shane, is it talked about, Terry's dominance? >> Yeah, it's absolutely apparent, but it's going to take him six immunities in a row to win. I don't think it can be done. If there's anyone that can do it, it's Terry. The guy is a 47-year-old beast and we as a group can't really afford to be eating cheeseburgers after today. >> But, regardless, I'm going to continue winning immunities whether they like it or not... >> Here we go. >> ...and my target isn't going to get any bigger. If I had five of these in my back pocket, I'd be out there competing, especially against Aras 'cause he's a bad dude and I want to go out there and beat him. >> Danielle, Terry said I'm gonna keep winning them. You mumbled Here we go again. >> 'Cause he always talks about how he's so competitive and he's so great at everything and it's all about Terry, Terry, Terry, but power to him for being as confident and cocky as he is, but... >> I just think it's an interesting comment coming from you, seeing how confident you were today and how cocky the six of you have been for the last several Tribals. >> Yeah, but I don't think we're coming off as strongly as Terry does. He's a super competitive guy. I'm not knocking that and I'm very competitive as well and... >> Is that part of the problem-- that you can't beat him and it frustrates you? >> I mean, it is frustrating, but there's going to be a challenge where Terry can't win. I mean, if he keeps winning every single one, God bless him. >> Cirie, five of the eight of you have now been to Exile Island, have now had a chance to look for the hidden immunity idol. Are people speculating if it's been found? >> There's, like, 15 million different stories. It's here, there it is, they don't have it, they have it. I think everyone here just wants it out. If you have it tonight, here's your chance. >> I don't want it played tonight because if it's played tonight, it's me most likely walking down that corridor, so let it play on a night where I have the immunity necklace. That's my thought. >> Okay, Terry once again has the immunity necklace. As always, it's yours to assign to somebody else if you want. >> I'm keeping it. >> Okay, if the hidden immunity idol comes into play, we will know after the vote. It is time to vote. Sally, you're up. >> (clicking tongue): I'm kind of sick of the six of you, so one at a time. >> Just strategy, nothing personal. Hope you have the idol. >> You're still the number one threat, buddy. >> You're a great player in this game and too much of a threat. So sorry. >> I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote-- Sally. Sally. Two votes Sally. Aras. Aras. Two votes Sally, two votes Aras. Sally. That's three votes Sally, two votes Aras. Sally. Four votes Sally, two votes Aras. Ninth person voted out of Exile Sally. That's enough votes. Unless you have the immunity idol, you need to ing me your torch. Sally, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Well, at this point, the game seems pretty clear: six former Casaya against Terry. Terry says he's going to keep winning immunity, Casaya says he won't. Either way, going to be fun to watch. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night. Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on Survivor, Bruce is in big trouble. >> Oh, God. >> Terry waits for things to fall apart... >> These guys are going to have to turn on one another and I hope I'm the fly on the wall. >> ...and he doesn't have to wait long. >> Courtney, chill out, dude. >> Don't take everything so personal! >> A lunatic. >> Everyone is in big trouble 'cause I'm turning the whole game. >> I am not disappointed that Terry didn't give me the hidden immunity idol. He's got a huge uphill battle ahead of him. I'm disappointed I can't be there fighting in the trenches beside him, but I found so much inner strength and I'll take that with me, and I learned a lot about myself in all this. You know, I fought hard and I
>> Previously on >> If you don't win immunity, if you don't have that silly idol from that goofy island, you're gone. >> As the last two remaining members of La Mina, Sally and Terry faced an uphill battle. >> I am totally motivated to kick your butts at everything that comes down the road. >> Before the reward challenge... >> Hey, Dad, it's me. I love you so much. >> ...everyone got a glimpse of their loved ones. Win today's reward challenge, you get to see the rest of your video and you'll enjoy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and ice-cold milk. Go! >> Go! Go! Go! Go! >> Terry, Sally, Bruce, and Courtney swung their way to victory. Reward for Courtney, Terry, Bruce, and Sally. You're sending one person to Exile Island. Who is it going to be? >> Aras. >> On Exile Island, Aras's search for the idol was futile. >> Terry's quickness to send me might suggest that there is no immunity idol out here. >> The immunity challenge began with a twist. If immunity is just not that important to you, you don't have to take part in today's challenge. Instead, you can chow down. >> Doh! >> Aras, Terry, and Sally passed on the offer and went head to head for immunity, while the rest of the tribe gorged themselves on cheeseburgers. >> Here you go. >> Terry wins immunity for the third straight time! >> Yes! >> Before Tribal Council, the Casaya members were unified. >> So we go Sally six-nothing tonight? >> But the threat of Terry giving the immunity idol to Sally made Aras vulnerable. >> It's possible that I could go home today. If Sally ends up having the hidden immunity idol, then Sally and Terry's vote will knock somebody out. >> But at Tribal Council, Terry strategically kept the hidden immunity idol, and his last ally, Sally, was voted out of the tribe. Seven are left. Who will be voted out tonight? (theme song playing) >> Sally voted out last night at Tribal Council means that I'm the only one left from La Mina. I still have a huge target on my back, and at the Tribal Council, and after feeling melancholy sitting around the fire and having them ask me, Oh, is there something wrong? You want to talk about it? I'm like, of course there's something wrong, you know. And, no, I don't want to talk about it. I'm bummed. >> Come a long way, baby. >> I know. >> It's a good feeling. >> I'm going to have to win every one in from now on, at least the next three out of four to get to the four, and then I've got my hidden immunity idol. That will get me by that, if I I need to, to get to the final three. I kind of feel that once I get to the final three, I think I've got it over everybody here as far as mental power and strength. >> Oh, no! >> Oh, Shane! Damn! >> You guy, can you help me? Grab another thing or do something? >> Courtney, chill out, dude! Relax! Don't yell at me like that! >> I wasn't yelling. I just wanted... >> I know, but I didn't have anything in my hands. >> Relax. I'm sorry. >> What is going to be interesting now is the longer I hang out, the longer I get to see how they end up turning on one another. >> Ridiculous. >> The one good thing that I had going for me as far as the Tribal Councils recently is I didn't have to vote against my tribe mates. There wasn't any of that, where these guys are going to have to turn on one another. And I hope I'm the fly on the wall. >> My stomach really hurts. >> You guys both are, like... that's horrible. >> It's difficult just to stand. We have to drink water. >> I remember being so constipated, I thought I was having a... >> A child? >> No, I thought I was having a... >> Appendicitis? >> That's it. I thought I was having appendicitis, it was that bad. >> It's hard. My stomach is so bloated it hurts, and I haven't gone to the bathroom since just before the Panamanian village feast. It's just-- I was blocked up and it's very, very, very painful. >> Yeah, we all have boxes with our names on them. >> Oh, my God! >> A doll represents each of you. It needs a bit of your hair, your clothes, your heart. Give it some of your personality and you're off to a good start. How well you've observed your surroundings could help rejuvenate you for a while, but if you've lived with blinders on, you may find yourself in Exile. >> Oh. >> It's so cute. >> We got these dolls and we're supposed to make them in our likeness. They're basically almost there. >> How fun is that? >> I'm trying to help my doll out here in giving her just the right amount of curves, so she looks more like myself. Shane, is that about right? (Cirie laughing) I actually like the blouse. >> What do you think? Does it look like me, Cirie? >> Oh, my God, twins. (Cirie laughing) >> Come on in, guys! All right, for today's challenge, we're going to see how well you know the people you've been living with for the past 25 days. I have a series of questions. Each of you is going to fill out these questions and answer these questions in private. I'll then tally the results; we'll get to the challenge. You can leave your voodoo dolls, find a spot, fill them out, and I'll tally them up. Okay, I've tallied the results. Now I'm going to ask you these questions again. This time when I ask you the question, you're trying to guess whose name came up most often. It's not necessarily who you voted for. It's who you think everybody else voted for. There's a difference. Each time you get one right, you get to chop another tribe member's rope. Each time you chop a rope, you release a torch. After three chops, the voodoo doll will go up in flames. That person is out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins reward. I know you want to know what you're playing for. >> Yeah! >> The winner of today's challenge will leave here via helicopter to a very nice spa. You'll get a shower, we'll wash those clothes, get a mud massage. Then you will eat chicken, beef, fish, pork chops. >> Ah... >> Man. >> You'll spend the night, return to camp in the morning. Worth playing for? >> Yeah. >> In addition, the winner of today's challenge will decide who is sent to Exile Island. All right, everybody has their answer board. First question-- it's going to be fun-- who does the least for the tribe? Again, you're trying to guess whose name came up most often to the question Who does the least for the tribe? All right, reveal. Courtney and Danielle say Bruce. You're not right, take a step back. Bruce says Courtney. You're not right. Danielle is the correct answer. Cirie, Aras, Terry, Shane all got it right. Take a step forward. All right, Cirie, take the first shot. Who is she going to hit? Cirie going to do the first damage. Terry takes his first hit. (Terry scoffs) Aras, you're up. Aras heading straight to Terry. Terry takes his second hit. Terry now has two people to get even with, only one hit. With some gusto, he takes Aras out. This game's getting real interesting. Shane can put Terry out of this or inflict some pain on someone else. Just like that, Terry is out of the challenge, takes a seat on the bench. Can't be a big surprise for you, coming into this challenge. Terry not talking at all. Next question: who never shuts up? Keep your answers to yourself. Everybody reveal. A lot of Terrys, one Bruce, but the name you actually wrote down the most: Courtney. Cirie has it right, Shane has it right. >> Oh, wow. >> Take a step forward. Shane, take your shot. Going down to the end. Bruce takes his first hit. Cirie. >> Sorry, Bruce. >> It's okay. >> Cirie gives Bruce his second hit. Bruce now down to one rope left. Next question: who mistakenly believes they are running this game? This should be very interesting. Reveal. The correct answer: Shane. Courtney has it right. Aras has it right. Shane, obvious question: news to you? >> I do not perceive to think that I'm running the game. >> Aras, take your shot. Clear pecking order being established. Bruce is out of the game. Take a seat on the bench next to Terry, Bruce. Courtney, make your move. >> I'll go for this one. >> Courtney gives Shane his first hit. That was a rough round for you, Shane. (Cirie snickering) Next question: Who would you trust with your life? Remember, you're trying to guess what the group thought as a whole. Everybody reveal. Cirie says Bruce. Cirie did not vote for herself. That's too bad. Cirie was the right answer. Aras is the only one that got it right. How does that feel, Cirie? >> Thanks, guys. (giggling) >> Make your move, Aras. Setting down. Courtney takes her first hit. Next question: Who would you not trust to watch your back? The correct answer is Terry. Courtney has it right. Aras has it right. Courtney, you're up. Danielle takes her first hit. Aras. Aras gives Cirie her first hit. We are even up. Everybody down to two ropes. Who is the biggest poseur? Somebody's feelings are about to get hurt. >> What is a poseur? >> Reveal. The answer to What is a poseur? is you. Courtney was the right answer. Aras is the only one who got it right. Aras, take your hit. Danielle now down to her last rope. Next question: Who is the moodiest? The correct answer: Shane. Courtney got it right, and Aras, again, got it right. Courtney, you're up. Shane takes his second hit. >> You're the only one that's hit me twice. Your life is changing. >> Except for the fact you aren't really running the game. >> No, I'm talking about Courtney. You're in the wrong team. >> Give me a eak, dude. We're playing a game. >> A helicopter game with a spa to boot. >> Come on, Bruce, please. >> Why would you hit me twice? >> 'Cause I didn't know... >> Guys, guys, let's rise above it. This game is meant to splinter us. Rise above it. Come on now. >> Yeah, it's meant to splinter you guys. Come on. >> Aras, take your hit. >> Danielle, I love you, but I you know you can't get me back. >> Danielle is out. Take a seat on the bench with Bruce and Terry. Cirie, Courtney, Aras, two ropes left. Shane down to his last rope. Next question: Who most easily succumbs to intimidation? Courtney, at the last minute, you changed yours. What did you have before that? >> Myself. >> You were right the first time. Courtney is the right answer. Shane got it right. >> Yeah, I wonder who he's going to hit. >> Who do you think I'm going to hit? >> Shane and Courtney down to their last ropes. Cirie and Aras still with two. Who is the most annoying person out here? (Cirie snickering) Everybody says Courtney except Courtney. Obviously, you're surprised. >> By being the right answer for everything? Yeah. (Cirie stifling giggles) It makes me feel great. >> Aras, you're up. And with that, Courtney takes her third hit. >> Horrible. >> Courtney's out of the game and probably happy to be out of the game. >> Well, I'm sure I'll be the right answer to everything else today. >> Shane heads to Aras. >> Baby doll, please don't put me out. Me owe you one. >> Shane playing strategically. Aras down to one rope left. Shane down to one rope left. Cirie, who are you going to put out of this game? (Cirie groans) Come make your hit. >> Shane, I'm sorry. >> Why d... Why? >> Because I promised Aras I wouldn't hit him. >> You did? >> Yeah. >> That tells me a lot, too. >> Sorry, Shane. >> Cirie knocks Shane out of the game. >> Shane takes a seat on the bench. >> Cirie just like under the radar, gets her thing. >> Shane, come on, it's a game. >> Don't be such a hard... >> It's all good. I'm just having an emotional reaction. >> Okay, it's all right. >> It's all good. I want to go on a jet and fly and eat a sandwich. It's all good. >> Here's where we stand: Cirie has two ropes left; Aras, you have one. That means if Cirie gets this right, regardless what you do, it's over. >> It's over. Right. Next question: Who would never survive on their own? >> What do I do? What do I do? >> Cirie not sure what to do. Takes a long time to make her decision. Did she get it right? Reveal. Aras says Terry. Cirie says herself. The correct answer is Cirie. Cirie got it right. Cirie wins this challenge. Make your last hit. (applauding and cheering) >> Did you do that on purpose, Aras? >> Me? I don't think you could survive a day in the wilderness. >> Sorry, Aras. >> And with that, Cirie wins her first challenge. >> Yay! >> Good job, Cirie. (Cirie exhales sharply) >> Nicely done. >> Thank you, thank you. >> All right, first decision you have to make: Who are you sending to Exile Island? >> Oh, I can't send... 'cause I... Terry, sorry. >> Terry, for a third time, going back to Exile Island. Did you expect that? >> I've come to expect all bad things for right now, Jeff, until, uh, something changes. >> Sorry. >> Head on out, Terry. The boat will pick you up. All right, Cirie, so, helicopter ride, spa, massage, clean clothes, take a shower, a lot of food. You're inging two people with you... (Cirie sighs) >> ...which means you are leaving three people behind. >> Oh... >> You've already sent one person to Exile. Who's the first person? Shane is on his knees begging. >> Oh, Cirie! >> I promised Aras since day one. I'm sorry! >> Aras, head over. >> I promised. I gotta keep a promise. Oh... >> One more person going with you. The other three going back to Gitanos camp. >> First. >> We talked about this, Cirie. We already talked about this. >> She promised. >> We did, Shane, but it was after Danielle. >> Danielle is your choice? >> I'm sorry. Yes. Sorry, Shane, I'm sorry. >> You are sorry. Devastating. >> Aras promised me since day one, day one, if he ever won, he would take me. >> I'm not worried about Aras. >> So, I mean... >> I'm worried about the Danielle call. I think that you made the wrong call. >> Okay. >> Thanks. >> Have fun. >> All right, guys, helicopter waiting for you down on the beach. Bruce, Courtney, Shane, rough afternoon. I got nothing to make it any better. Get your stuff, head on back to camp. >> This is amazing! >> We're doing it! We're in a helicopter! >> Oh, yeah. (laughter) >> Look at this. >> Oh... my... God! >> Ha-ha. >> This is going to be the best night of my life. >> Oh, my God Honestly, I'm so happy. >> I'm not kidding. >> I have never been in a helicopter before. It's almost like I was alone flying above this place, getting to see all of this stuff that I would never in a lifetime... on my own be able to see. Oh... my... God! I picked Aras and Danielle because they were the people that I thought I would have the most fun with. But this could potentially be, like, a fatal move for me. I'm probably public enemy 1 now because I didn't take the people who are back at camp. >> What is on this plate?! God, I'm so happy! (Cirie chuckling) I'm going to lean back. You guys, relax, relax. There's so much food. >> Mmm... >> I had fun at that challenge. I laughed so much. >> I did, too, but it wasn't fun in the end. Man, they put Courtney as the most annoying. Wow. >> She got that, too? >> Mm-hmm. >> She and Cirie did. She cleaned up today. >> You should have seen her face. >> That's why I couldn't stop laughing 'cause it was so funny. I mean, I would be kind of pissed if my tribe members thought that I was the most annoying. (stifled laughter) Oh, my gosh. I would have felt the same way. >> I've always thought that me, Aras, and Cirie were tight in a three-way thing, and today, I don't know. Like, I got to ask myself where Cirie is with Danielle. And so, I was pretty shocked that she didn't pick me today, for sure. >> Well, that was fun. You get to know where you stand. >> I had no idea Danielle and Cirie were that close. >> I don't care about that. I care about the game. And what you said about me. >> You do? >> Are you kidding? Can you just think for a second how that would make you feel? I'm sure you didn't pay attention to how many answers I was the answer to, but... >> I think you're also personalizing a lot of it. >> How can I not be... opinion about me? >> No, but some of the questions were stupid. Who is the most annoying? That one might not be fun, but... >> It's hurtful. I just got, like, I was so happy to be here, like, yesterday. Now I'm, like... I don't want to be here. I'm going to have to live with this for the rest of my life. >> Courtney destroyed herself today. I mean, she takes a lot of stuff personally, anyway, and just to hear the, like, some of the answers to what the tribe thinks about her is just, I think really got her in an all-time low. (coughing) You know, the common voice of the tribe was heard today, you know? She got a lot of bombs dropped on her today, so it's gonna be very interesting to see how she handles herself for the next few days. >> Yeah, Bud? >> Bruce has been in pain for the last few days, and it started to really sort of double and triple up, I think. >> I've had so many weird injuries. Tons of horrible injuries and injuries. This is one of the most painful. But... it's part of the game. >> His stomach has been bothering him for the last ten to 12 days, and it's been a matter of him not being able, really, to go to the bathroom. And at times, Bruce can tend to be overdramatic, but there was nothing overdramatic about what was happening. He was in a lot of pain. (groans) >> My whole back, all my stomach, everything, my whole inter... hurts so bad every second. And this, the pain is just increasing. So painful. >> Yo, you got to get better 'cause we need you. (groaning) >> I'm just concerned 'cause it's escalating so fast. (groans) (Cirie moans) >> Ooh! Thank you, God, for letting me get this one. If I don't win anything else, thank you, God. Whoo! We got a mud massage. That is wonderful. It was like Lifetimes of the Rich & Famous. I felt like Robin Leach. Well, Danielle, is this something for your first massage? >> Oh, good. The man that gave me a massage was pretty rough 'cause I've never had a professional massage done, but I usually like to be massaged a little bit easier. ! >> Danielle picked the guy. >> Oh, boy. >> She figured he'd have stronger hands, and he did. >> Holy snakies. >> Wow. Oh, my gosh. >> Do I have another stomach? (laughter) That's it. Maybe one more bite. >> Today is almost like I'm starting over. If I'm out of the game because of this, at least I got to do this before I went because this is great. >> I think that game officially pointed out the immaturity of our group. Courtney, her and Shane, man, they are so similar. >> They are. >> She has a serious crush on him, I think. >> A total crush on him. >> And the thing is with Courtney, is she just wants to be wanted. Like, that's her psychological pattern, and so she loves it when Shane engages her in those arguments about her being passive-aggressive. Even though she'll, like, walk away and be angry, she knows that there's going to be a makeup point. >> I can imagine the arguments they're going to have tonight-- Courtney and Shane. You know they've been arguing since they got back. >> Poor Bruce, he's right there smack-dab in the middle. >> And he's hurting. >> Poor Bruce. >> I'm going to be so not liked tomorrow. >> I like you. >> I love you. (laughter) (Bruce groaning) (groaning) >> Uh-oh. >> It's been doubling and escalating so fast since I got back. (groans) >> Can I sing you a song. Will that help? >> No. It's going to be okay. Just take me away... >> Bruce had really horrible stomach pains. He's had pains for about four days now, and it just got really unbearable for him. And I went in there, was trying to calm him down 'cause he was just like, literally like writhing and convulsing in pain, and he was just begging for the medics to get here, so the medic had to be called. >> I don't want to quit. >> Huh? >> I don't want to quit. I just want to get well. (groans) (motor rumbling) >> Aw... >> Bruce? (Bruce groans) >> Hi. >> Hi. How you doing? >> It gets worse; it just escalates so bad. (groans) >> Talk to me. Whereabouts is the pain? >> All over my back and stomach but... (groans) It's just getting worse. >> Bruce, are you allergic to anything? >> No, injuries-- tons of them. (Bruce groans) >> Brain has been hurting for hours. Oh, God... Oh, God, it hurts so much. >> All right, lift your head up for a minute. Just going to unbutton your shirt here. >> It's not fair. (Bruce yells) >> Okay... >> Don't, don't, don't. >> (groaning): All right. , I've been in pain so long. (panting) Don't miss. (groaning) >> I can't touch... Oh, give me some relief, please. >> What I want you to do is hold this to your mouth and eathe in and out, just nice smooth eaths. (coughs, groans) >> That's it. >> My stomach hurts so much-- it's increasing. >> Ow, ow... >> I'm going to need you guys to help me carry the stretcher. I'm just going to go out to the boat and head back to base camp and I'll reassess him there. I think we've got his pain under control, and all his vital signs... >> Okay. Did you give him a shot? >> Uh, do we need to do this right this second? >> Yes, we do. >> Bruce, what I'm gonna get you to do... You move towards me. I'm not gonna move you. Here, I'll give you help. Lift that foot up. There you go. ...so you roll back down. (Bruce groans) >> Just... on your side a bit there. Just nice and slow. Do you want to use my hand? >> Ow... >> It's going to be all right, Bruce. (groans) >> I'm going to pull it. Everyone's going to follow him all the way. Lift up, nice and gently, that's it. >> Bruce, we'll see you really soon. >> Steady, and stop there. (indistinct orders) >> Love you, Bruce. >> See you in a minute, Brucey. (Bruce groaning) (boat engine rumbles) >> Back... I would hope Bruce would come back and finish on his own terms, absolutely. I don't want to have anybody, just-- you know what I mean, be pulled from the game because of medical reasons. I wouldn't feel right about it at all. But I think that he definitely would feel like, um, he didn't get to finish under his terms, and I know that would be a hard thing for Bruce, because Bruce has lived a really beautiful, whole, big, gi-normous life, so... No, I wish... I really hope Bruce gets to come back. >> Casaya totally has it out for me. There's been a target on my back since the merge, so the participation part of the reward challenge was a joke, a waste of time for me, but the good part about it was the observation time where I got to watch the Casaya members go at it against one another. You know, yesterday wasn't a total loss, and being sent here to Exile Island gives me a little bit more time to think about strategy for the upcoming two weeks. >> Poor Brucey. I wonder how he is today. Yesterday was an extremely emotional, draining day for me. Ending the day with Bruce being taken away was like the icing and the cherry and the hot fudge on top of my, uh, pretty poo-poo day. >> Let me ask you a question. If I need your vote in order to get us one person further, would you trust me and not eak my back? I can't have the obsessive-compulsive, like, you overthinking part. >> It's-It's hard for me to say, yes, I'll just agree with everything that you think. You know, obviously, it's hard to say. But, you know, I want to be on your backside, and I would like you to be on mine. >> Okay. >> So, we're on the same page of what we want. >> All right, grab that little log right there, that skinny one. >> We just keep everything between us. >> If we don't... >> Don't. >> ...I'll kill you when I get back to Hollywood. >> (laughs): No. Great. >> I will. I'll drive up, and I'll kill you in your ... little apartment. Then I'll drive over to my club, and that'll be it. >> That was really nice. I don't have a ... apartment. >> (shouting): Well, obviously, dude, I don't... I've never been in your apartment! I don't know if it's ... or not! It was an adjective! >> I know. >> Don't take everything so personal! >> You're just so obnoxious. You're not funny. >> No, I'm not obnoxious, man. Think about it. >> Wait, you're not... >> Why are you so... >> You're not... >> ...sensitive? Glenn Close, Sybil, bunny boiler, Fatal Attraction-- she's so scary, man. She's a lunatic, man, and especially after yesterday, and finding out that the entire tribe thinks she's an idiot. I mean, she is a dream to take to the final two. Anyone could win against her. Anyone. It's crazy. She's a dream. >> Danielle, Aras, and I-- we get home from the reward, and, uh, no one's there to greet us. Oh, my God. The tension at the camp when we got back was so thick, I was afraid to-to come past the palm frond trees, because I didn't know if, you know... Was it safe? >> Is that Court? >> Welcome home. We lost a member. >> Shut up! >> Bruce. >> Oh, my God! >> Bruce went home? >> Yeah. He was med-evac'd out of here. >> So he's done? >> Shut up. >> I don't know. Well, last night was just, like... He was super sick, then we called medical, and then the boat came and took him up, and I have no idea if he's in the game, if he's okay. I don't know anything. >> Wow! >> But you guys had a great time, I'm sure. >> We get back to the beach, and Bruce Factor has been med-evac'd out of here. Courtney, who was really affected by the last challenge. And finally I see Shane, and Shane, honestly, was an animal. >> I caught a boa constrictor. >> He just looked like he hadn't eaten food, had water, or seen people in days. >> You all right, man? >> Yeah, no, I'm good. >> What's going on? >> Nothing. >> Damn! >> We're not good. I don't trust her. >> Shane, Shane... >> She's got to come to me. >> She will. She'll talk to you about it. >> I am disappointed in her in a big way, and I am not going out before Danielle, dude. That bitch did nothing for 30 days. Gets to go up yesterday. She's done nothing but be lazy and wait to get fed, and Cirie takes her? That is not right. I have put Cirie on my back, all 300 pounds of her. Have put her on my back. You and I both have. It was wrong yesterday. It was wrong. >> Didn't you play sports? Didn't you have teams? Like, you lose some, you win some. Get over it. >> Listen, I'm not worried about anybody but me now. >> I know you're not. >> And guess what? Everyone is in big trouble 'cause I'm going to do whatever it takes. If you and Cirie don't make me absolutely believe that it's still the three of us... >> Mm. >> ...I'm turning the whole game. I mean, look at me, look at me. I'm in the game now. I'm in the game. >> I know, and... >> And everyone's in a big, big problem. >> I tried not to get into it with Shane. All of it was basically his insecurity about where he stands. In my thinking, the last thing I need is Shane on the loose really changing this game up, so just let him say his piece. We'll get him down. We'll calm him down. We'll gain back his trust, and hopefully, Cirie will peace it with him, and we'll be all good. >> First, as far as the game part is concerned, I've never, ever wavered about me, you and Aras. Did you see me there? Did you see me? Oh, okay, it's just you and you. It was so hard because I know how you felt. Did you not think it was hard for me to not take you after everything? >> Yeah, but, I... yeah. I didn't... I didn't know that it was... I had no idea that you and Danielle had the type of... Like, I watched it, but I was just, like... >> That's what I'm saying. It's not like a type of thing like we have. Nothing like that at all. Shane is so hurt because he feels like he deserved the reward way more than Danielle. He just thought it would be a no- ainer. If I won, me, him and Aras would go. >> Uh-uh. >> All right. >> Yes? >> Mm-hmm. >> Me, Cirie and Aras are in an alliance, officially, and will be until we get to the four. The whole discussion was a big rant and was absolutely calculated by me in order to get ahead of Cirie and Aras mentally, and it played exactly the way I wanted it to. I think, subconsciously, I control that-that threesome for sure. >> I'm just cleaning, um, Bruce's Zen garden, and I wanted to write the words, like, Love, Bruce, just to send him love right now, 'cause no matter where he is right now, he's-he's having a hard time. I was going to put l-u-v, luv you, on this side. >> That would be great. >> Bruce was just go, go, go, go, go. That was his mentality, and I gave him a lot of credit. I mean, I looked at him as like a father figure. I mean, I really connected with him. You know, I said my prayers for him last night. I just really hope that Bruce is okay. Um, you know, it was... I had, like, an eerie feeling last night that he wasn't even in the shelter, and I just pray to God that everything's fine and he's healthy. >> He would love it. He would love it. >> I don't even care about the game aspect of it. I just want to make sure he's okay. So I hope we find out soon! >> Here comes a boat. >> Terry has a red shirt with blue sleeves, right? >> Yeah. >> It's still three, whoever it is, man. >> Is that Terry? >> Yeah, that's Terry. >> It's Jeff. >> Isn't that Probst? >> Shut up! >> And Probst? >> Yeah, and Probst is with him. >> Jeff and Terry. Wow. I need to go find out what this is about. >> What's going on, Aras? >> A lot, apparently. >> It is Terry. Damn. >> Well... >> Yeah. >> How you doing? >> Good to see you, sir. >> Nice to see you. (indistinct chatter) Hello. >> Hello. >> Hi. >> Where's Courtney? You heard about Bruce? >> I haven't heard anything. >> I'll give you the whole low-down. >> I haven't heard anything. >> Let's do it up at camp. >> Wouldn't have a... I don't know if you guys got seats or anywhere you can plop it. Okay, I know everybody wants an update. I have an update. First, we got to catch Terry up. I think everybody was pretty clear that when we went to the last reward challenge, Bruce wasn't feeling very well. Had a lot of stomach pain, was having trouble walking. Reward challenge ends, pain continues. Bruce asks for medical to come in and check him. Medical checks him out, runs some tests, says you need to go to a hospital. And it is a good thing that he got there when he did. They ran some tests and found out that his entire digestive system-- his colon and his bladder-- were blocked. Nothing was coming out. And I know everybody's concerned about Bruce's well-being. He's going to be okay, but he will not return to the game as a player. Bruce is no longer in the running for a million dollars. It is now down to you six. There will be no immunity challenge today. Nobody will be voted out tonight at Tribal Council. We're hoping that Bruce will be back for the next Tribal Council and continue on as a member of the jury, but we're waiting for approval from the doctors. So, that's the update. You have the afternoon off, and the game continues on. Make sense? >> Sure. Thanks for coming. >> Sorry it was bad news. >> Thanks, Jeff. >> Later, guys. >> Bruce is the master sensei. You know, he'll be back. He's a fighter. I-I don't think any one of us could have put up with the pain that he put up with in the hopes of, uh, staying in the game, and to see him go this way is a shame, 'cause he's a warrior, a total warrior. 57-year-old master sensei in the true sense. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on >> Look for the address? >> Shane found a piece of wood and is calling it his Blackberry. >> Send. I'm communicating with people, not on this island. (cuckoo clock chimes) >> Want to know what you're playing for? The survivors are in for a surprise. >> Yeah! Yeah! (Cirie shrieks) >> And Cirie faces a monster! (shouts) (grunting)
>> Previously on >> We've come a long way, baby. >> Terry was the lone wolf from La Mina. >> I've got a huge target on my back, but the longer I hang out, the longer I get to see how they end up turning on one another. >> The reward challenge revealed what the tribe really thought of Courtney. Who is the most annoying person out here? Everybody says Courtney. >> God! >> Cirie answered the most questions correctly. Cirie wins this challenge. Who are you sending to Exile Island? >> Terry. >> Terry. And she chose Danielle and Aras to go with her on a spa reward. Back at camp... >> I'm going to have to live with this for the rest of my life. >> ...Courtney was pained by the revelations from the challenge. >> I was so happy to be here, like, yesterday. I don't want to be here. >> Bruce's pain was physical. >> My whole back, my stomach, the pain is just increasing. >> At the reward, Cirie, Aras and Danielle enjoyed themselves. >> If I'm out of the game because of this, at least I got to do this before I went. >> While back at camp... >> Oh, God! >> ...Bruce's health took a turn for the worse. >> Are you allergic to anything? >> The medical team arrived to assess him. >> He can't stay here. >> And Bruce was evacuated. >> See you in a minute, Brucey. >> Alone in camp, Courtney and Shane made a pact. >> If I need your vote, would you trust me and not eak my back? >> You know I want to be on your backside, and I would like you to be on mine. >> Okay. She is a dream to take to the final two. Anyone could win against her. Anyone. >> When Cirie, Aras and Danielle return... >> Welcome home. >> ...they learn the news about Bruce. >> We lost a member. >> Oh, my God! >> Bruce went home? >> Yeah. He was med-evac'd out of here. And I have no idea if he's in the game, if he's okay. I don't know anything. >> Wow. >> Is that Terry? Wow. >> Terry was picked up from Exile Island... >> Welcome, Jeff. >> ...and landed at the camp beach. Bruce is going to be okay, but he is no longer in the running for a million dollars. We're hoping that Bruce will be back and continue on as a member of the jury. It is now down to you six. Nobody will be voted out tonight. Six are left. Who will be the next to go? Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION (theme song playing) >> What are you thinking of using for bait? >> I got hermit crabs. I want to see... We're running out of food, so we got to use every method to catch. >> Bruce being gone out of this game was a good thing for me because I got to skip a challenge. And pretty much every immunity challenge coming down the road I've got to take. It is really imperative to try to make some allies and, hopefully, tie up one or two members before the next immunity challenge. >> I was going to the rocks today, and I saw this thing, just like that, and it was just... I was, like, wow, BlackBerry. It reminded me of my BlackBerry. So I grabbed it, and I've just been playing with it. It's got texting, e-mail, phone, Web owser. It's got everything. When I think about something I want to tell my partner, I shoot him off, or talk about my son, because my son can text on his cell phone. It's actually helped my day. I'm communicating with people not on this island. >> Shane found a piece of wood, and is actually calling it his BlackBerry. >> Look for the address. >> And he sits down and he, like, pretends like he's communicating with people. >> Send. >> Come on. >> Check mark. All good. >> He's nuts. >> Come on in, guys! Ready to get to today's challenge? >> Oh, yeah. >> It is for reward. Here's how it works. You'll be divided into two teams of three. Each of you will be attached to one long rope which runs the length of an obstacle course. On my go, you must follow the rope while navigating the various obstacles. When you reach the final platform, you'll unclip and, one at a time, race across a lily pad run. You'll then jump into the water and retrieve a bag. There are three bags total. Once you have all three bags, clip back into the rope and make your way back across all the same obstacles to the finish. First team to get to the finish with all three members and all three bags wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah! >> The winning three will leave here, fly to your own private island, where you will have a barbecue feast. >> Yeah! >> Steak, sausages, a cooler of soft drinks and, for dessert, chocolate cake. >> Oh, my God! >> Worth playing for? >> Oh, yeah! >> All right, we'll randomly draw teams and get started. It's Terry, Danielle and Courtney taking on Cirie, Aras and Shane. For reward, survivors ready? Go! Strategy is going to be key in this. >> Help me up. >> Aras helping Cirie over. She takes a hard fall right away. Courtney, Terry, Danielle through the hitching post. Cirie, Aras, Shane right behind! Terry, Danielle, Courtney first to the pole. Cirie's there. Somebody's going to have to help. Gotta follow that rope! That's all you gotta do is follow that rope. We are still very tight. Now it's going to get a little tougher having to crawl under and over. Cirie back into the water. >> All right, back up. Aras trying to help Cirie. >> You're going to go underneath. >> Terry through the bamboo crawl and on to the platform. Danielle's on the platform. Aras, Shane, Cirie, they have twisted themselves up. They have really slowed down, and they're really in a mess. Courtney up on to the platform. Terry unclipped and making his way across the lily pads. You gotta jump in and get a bag out of the box. Terry up with the first bag! Aras, Cirie, Shane, you need to get moving! You are taking too much time! Terry back with the first bag. Danielle making her way easily across the lily pad. No trouble. Shane, Aras, Cirie are all knotted up, can't figure out what to do. Danielle back with the second bag. One bag left. Courtney has no trouble with the lily pads. Courtney has the third bag, and heading back. Cirie, Aras, Shane are falling out of this challenge. Courtney back with the third bag. Clip in and head back! Cirie, Aras, Shane almost look like they've given up. Get your asses out of that water. Let's go! Terry, Danielle, Courtney, this is their challenge to lose now. Shane finally up on to the platform. Shane unclipped. He's going to give it a go. Wastes no time! Hanging on! Terry, Danielle, Courtney back at the rope twist with nobody close. Shane back with the first bag. Terry, Danielle, Courtney through the rope twist. Home free. Cirie, Shane, Aras still fighting. But it's going to be too little, too late. Terry, Danielle and Courtney with one obstacle left. Terry across. Danielle across. Courtney across! Terry, Danielle, Courtney win reward! Terry, Courtney, Danielle, nice job. Barbecue feast is yours. And a big decision to make. Cirie, Aras, Shane-- one of those three is going to Exile Island; give you a second to talk about it. >> What do you want? >> Whatever you guys want. >> Okay. >> Who is it going to be? >> Aras. Aras, you know the drill. Grab your stuff, boat's coming in. >> More beans for us, Cirie. >> Cirie and Shane, sorry, got nothing for you. Head on back to camp. >> Enjoy. >> We'll see you tonight. >> Terry, Courtney, Danielle, before we get to your barbecue feast, you will compete head to head in another challenge with an additional individual reward up for grabs. Here's how it works: you'll use a slingshot to fire marbles at three ceramic tiles. First person to knock out all three tiles wins fully loaded, 2007 GMC Yukon. >> Oh, my God! >> Oh, my God. >> Whoo! >> Sound good? >> Excellent! >> Take your spots. We'll get started. In order for a tile to be considered hit, it must eak away from two of the four ropes connecting it. You can hit the tiles in any order. First person to eak all three tiles wins the Yukon. Ready, pick up your slingshot, get your marbles. Here we go, first round. Ready, aim, fire. Courtney nicks hers, but not enough. Ready, aim, fire. Danielle eaks her first tile. Terry clips one, but he's only oken one rope. That is not a hit. Ready, aim, fire. Terry finishes what he didn't do the first time, knocks his first tile down. Danielle clips a second one, but not enough. GMC Yukon on the line. Ready, aim, fire. Courtney smashes her first tile. Terry eaks his second tile. Danielle just low. Terry down to one tile left. Danielle, Courtney both have two tiles left. Ready, aim, fire. Danielle misses left. Courtney eaks her second tile. Terry clips his third tile. That's not enough. Courtney and Terry both only have one tile left. Either one could win this challenge on this shot. Ready, aim, fire. Danielle just misses. Courtney just misses. >> Yes, yes, yes! >> Terry gets it! Terry wins the GMC Yukon. >> Unbelievable. >> Here's how it's going to work. You're going to fly to an island. When you land, your car will be waiting for you. It will be loaded with everything you need for your barbecue. >> All right, all right. >> You'll return to camp back later today. >> Excellent. >> Grab your stuff and head on out. >> All right, let's go barbecue! >> At this point in the game, from what I understand, the idol's not here anymore. It's been found, and now it's hiding somewhere in Terry's bag. And so I won't really waste any of my energy looking for it or stressing about it because that part of the game is now out of my control. Kind of makes my stay here pretty unnecessary in terms of the positives. >> We were airplaned off to a far island where we were to have our feast. >> Oh, it's gorgeous! >> Oh, my God! >> At the end of the runway, there in front of us was a and-new, spankin' Yukon, and it was righteous, man. >> Wow! Oh, mother of... >> This is gorgeous. >> The last thing my wife said going out the door was, Damn it, just ing me home a car. Let's see what this bad boy can do. In pile the girls, and off we drove to this beach feast. Oh! >> This is so nice to, like, be on the winning side of things. That's like, seriously, like, was, like, the dream team. >> Salud! Congratulations, Terry. >> Thank you. >> I would do anything to get us to a final three. >> I'm 100 behind you. I mean, that's a great final three, wouldn't you say? >> I'm going to start putting out some feelers to Courtney and Danielle today, try to forge a relationship with those guys in order to take us to the final three. >> The thing is, if you just win the next immunity challenge and take Aras out, and the next one, one of us will win, and we take Shane out... >> Shane out. >> ...and boom, we're final four, done. It's been in the back of my mind to join up with Terry for like a long time because going against Terry is one pretty good shot of actually winning the million in the final two. I think that's kind of how people are looking right now is who do you want to be up against in the final two? >> Well, D, I was talking to Courtney while you were gone. You know, we talked kind of like the dream final three, final four, whatever. And if you were with us, and it was us three and Cirie, you would have a 75 chance of winning immunity, and that would be pitting us three up against Cirie. If I can produce the hidden immunity idol, then, you know, even so, we've got three people. We'd have to beat Cirie. >> Uh-huh. Terry ought up the fact that his ideal four would be the three girls and him, and that's just a given. I mean, obviously, he wants Aras out. For his sake. I like that idea, but he's going to have to change up his strategy a little bit, too. I'm not going to make this so easy for him to win. >> It's just the two of us, and we can talk about strategy all we want. We're through to the five, right? >> Right. >> If Terry wins immunity, me, you, and Aras are still through, because we're going to vote off Danielle. >> But then there's still Courtney. It will be me, you, and Courtney. Right. Mm-hmm. If he could take Courtney to the final two and he may just win a million dollars. Against anyone else, I don't know how good his chances are, and I think he knows that, so Courtney to me is more dangerous now than having Terry around. So I just want to get rid of Courtney as soon as I possibly can, and then go from there. Oh, damn, they're getting out again. (yelling) Jump! >> You do? >> Yeah. >> With what? >> With... >> A fishing pole? >> Yeah, where is the hook? Oh, I see it. All right. I'll be back with fish. (laughing) I figure how hard can it be? I've fished before when I was younger with my dad with a standard fishing pole. So I figure, well, everyone else has tried it. Let me try it. Oh, gosh, sorry, snail. Yuck! This is so gross! I need a bigger rock. (yelling) Sorry. Oh! I think I got a fish! It's going! It's going! Oh, no! What's that? Is that a puffer? What is that? Shane is going to be so happy. I'm scared it's going to come off! I can't touch it. Hold still. Don't move! Don't move! Wait till I can get... Somebody needs to help me. Dead yet? Damn! Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you. >> Unbelievable. How did that happen? >> I was so happy. I was so, so happy to have caught a fish, especially a fish that big, and it's Shane's birthday. >> Unbelievable! >> Happy birthday. >> I'm so proud of you! >> To see the look on Shane's face, it was priceless, priceless. >> Cirie Fields caught the biggest fish out here, the girl from Jersey. Captain America has been swimming around for three weeks, nothing. How great is that? >> Oh, here they come! >> When we returned from our reward, we got a pleasant surprise. >> I caught a fish, girl! >> You did? >> Wow! Awesome, Cirie! >> You speared it? >> No, I just fished with the little thing. Who would've thunk Cirie could catch a fish? That's the joy in waiting for them to see the fish, for me. (laughs) I love it, love it, love it, love it. >> Right, right, I agree. Danielle asked me about, Well, if you win, who are you going to take to the finals? You know, Are you going to take Courtney? Because it might be easier for you to win the million if you took her. To be honest with you, if I had my druthers, I would take Courtney to the finals, and I'm sure Danielle would take Courtney to the finals. >> I know. >> I want to make sure that we're going into this agreement in a very fair way, so final three challenge is, top two finishers go to the finals. And-and I'm all for that. You got to beat the best and be the best. >> It was extremely insulting to me when she said, you know, I don't want to have someone being carried in here. And she didn't even see that, you know? I was, like, Do you underst... Like, of course I'm going to be mad. Who are you speaking to right now? Someone being carried in. You're referring to me, because I'm the easiest one to beat. >> What is she talking about? Um... whoever wins what? I don't know, I've lost that part. >> If Terry came in first... >> Mm-hmm. Whoever came in second should be the person he'd take? >> Yeah. >> Of course he would tell you that, because if you look at the three of us, who do you think is going to come in second? Since their little thing yesterday, Danielle... they done ainwashed her, and I keep trying to point out to her, she wants to go with Terry and Courtney and myself, which, of course, I'll be number four. Come on, now, I'm not stupid. But why would you want to take her with us and give her first or second place? I keep... I don't know why she can't see that. If we take away the person he wants to take second, he doesn't have to know who we're gonna vote. He can think we're going to vote Aras. You can't let him dictate what y'all should do, and that's basically what he's doing: No, go with me, and then I'll see who I decide who I want... I'll take second, maybe the most athletic, but nine times out of ten, I'm going to take Courtney, because I know I can beat her. But I'll tell Danielle, yeah, that's what we'll do, whoever is number two, then that's who I'll take. Yeah, mm-hmm, and I got a idge in Brooklyn to sell you. I want to get rid of Courtney, like, yesterday. Some kind of way, Courtney's going, believe that. (laughs) >> Come on in, guys! We'll now ing in Aras, returning once again from Exile Island. You guys ready to get to today's challenge? >> Yeah. >> First things first. Terry, give it up. Three individual immunity challenges, three times Terry's won. We'll see if that continues today. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you are going to hold your own weight. Here's how it works. You are going to each kneel at the end of a long plank suspended over a pit of water. You'll be holding on to two ropes that are connected to a hook. Hanging from the hook is weight. We'll start with 20 of your body weight. Every 15 minutes we'll add more weight. As the weight gets heavier, it will get harder to hold on to those ropes. When the weight becomes too much, the ropes'll slip from your hands, the platform will fall, you'll drop into the water. The last person left standing wins immunity, guaranteed a spot in the final five. Ready to get at it? >> Yeah. >> All right, weigh in. Get started. All right, everybody has their ropes. We're going to release the weight. Three, two, one. This challenge is on. You are holding 20 of your body weight right now. Shane, Cirie, Aras, Terry all holding right around 34 pounds. Danielle and Courtney holding about 24 pounds. And we're just getting started. When we reach 15 minutes, we will add another ten percent of your body weight, roughly another 12 to 15 pounds for each of you. Shane feeling those ropes slipping through his hands. >> I'm not going to make it. >> Shane has lost one rope. He's down to one rope. That rope is not coming back. Shane now holding all of his weight with one hand. Shane lets go. Shane is the first one out of the challenge. Okay, it's been 15 minutes. We're going to add another ten percent of your body weight to the hook. Three, two, one. Everybody has another ten percent now. (groans) >> It's burning my hands, the rope. >> You guys have made it 30 days. Nobody give up. (grunting) It's slipping. >> Cirie, second one out of the challenge. We are down to four. Aras, Terry, Danielle and Courtney. Aras struggling to get a different grip. Danielle struggling to hang on. Danielle, third one out of the challenge. We are now down to three. Aras, Terry, Courtney holding 30 of your body weight. (groans) >> Hold on, Aras. >> Aras just lets go. Two days on Exile Island, too tough to overcome. We are down to two: Terry and Courtney. >> He's wavering, honey. You're going to beat him. >> You've reached 30 minutes. We're going to add ten more percent of your body weight. Three, two, one. Release. >> You are now both holding 40 of your body weight. Terry is holding 68 pounds, Courtney holding 49 pounds. Terry digging down deep. Immunity on the line. >> Watch your weights, Court. They're getting close to the bottom. >> I know. I know. >> Hold on, Court. Hang on, honey, he's failing. I can see it. He's dying. >> The only way to make sure you do not get voted out tonight is to win this challenge. >> Hold on, Court. >> Courtney down to one rope. (groans) She can't do it. Courtney's in the water. Terry wins his fourth straight immunity. Terry, come on over. For the fourth straight time you win immunity. You're the only person to wear this necklace so far in this game. Once again, you're safe at Tribal Council. For the rest of you, after 30 days, one of you going home tonight. See you at Tribal. Grab your stuff. Head on back. >> Oh, I tell you what. Winning today was awesome. Somebody from Casaya is going home tonight, and I think Aras knows that he's the target, and he is. >> Aras is still our biggest threat. I mean, no one can beat him in the final. >> Right. >> He's still, like, competitive, but at least we're secure for final four. >> With me, you, Danielle, and Terry? >> Yeah, I mean, that's, like, solid. So we're gonna agree, you, me, Danielle and Terry all vote Aras. And then Aras and Shane are gonna vote Danielle out. And we'll pretend like we're voting for Danielle. >> Yeah, please don't say anything to Shane. >> I won't. I can deal with it later, but not now. >> Okay. >> Cirie and I decided Cirie and Terry, Danielle and I are all going to vote for Aras. Shane thinks that I'm going to do whatever he says and he wants me to vote Danielle out, and he wants Cirie to vote Danielle out. So I'm going to be dealing with the wrath of Shane for sure tonight, and I'm not excited about it. (whistling) >> You kicked my ass. >> I could have kicked your ass. >> You kicked my ass. >> But we're working this out so we're gonna make this a joint effort, okay? >> Okay. I'm confident with Courtney and Danielle and I'm feeling pretty damn good. We're going to send Aras home, and with that, we'll have a three-to-two advantage, and you know what? It's gonna be nice. >> Yeah. >> What'd you say? >> Courtney, are you okay? >> Yeah. >> You sure? >> I mean, no, nothing's okay. >> Right, but I mean, this is the game, that's it, Danielle, one, two, three, four. And we each move on one more spot. >> Shane wants to take Courtney to the final two. He's told me that. Terry wants to take Courtney to the final two. That, to me, makes Courtney the most dangerous person out here. I want to kind of mess up Terry's plans and mess up Shane's plans and hopefully we get rid of Courtney next, and then it could possibly give me, Aras and Danielle a little more leverage in this game. I just wanted to make sure you knew exactly what was going on yesterday. >> Cirie was quick to fill me in on the situation. She really has my back, which is nice. She let me know about the goings-on. And basically what's going on now is we're going to vote for Courtney. >> But the only way to save you is to vote Courtney. But I need to talk to you, too. >> I'm just trying to see what would be the best situation for me. Would I rather be with Terry, Courtney, Cirie and I, or would I rather be with Aras, Cirie and I? I'm just trying to see what the best situation for myself would be. >> Well, anyway, we're gonna have to keep telling Shane that we're going to vote you. I swear to God I won't vote you. And me, you and Aras vote Courtney because Shane is gonna vote you. Terry and Courtney are gonna vote Aras, and me and you and Aras are gonna vote Courtney. Absolutely positive, that's why you have to let Courtney think that me, you, her and Terry are gonna vote Aras. But if you wouldn't be here tomorrow, me, you and Aras have to vote Courtney. I'm hoping Danielle just stays strong 'cause Danielle gets real nervous and it's easy to turn her. I'm hoping she just stays calm tonight and follows through with the plan. >> We'll now ing in the members of our jury. Austin, Sally... and Bruce... (applause) ...returning from a ief stay in Panama City Hospital. He'll continue on and be a member of our jury from here on out. Let's talk about the reward challenge. Terry, was there some bonding going on between the three of you? >> It was a team bonding, you know, because we came together as a team, gave us maybe a little time to forget the game and just dig in on a standard beach barbecue. So, you know, it was, it was awesome. >> Cirie, when you hear Terry say it was nice to put the game aside for a little bit, do you buy that? >> No, please. I mean, it's a game. And he may want us to think that they were just having fun and barbecuing, but we all know better. As long as you're here and your torch is lit, the game is still going on. >> So we get to today's immunity challenge, once again, Terry wins. Four individual challenges, Terry's won four times. Has anybody started to approach you and say, Hey, let's work something out 'cause you seem unstoppable? >> You know, people aren't running up to me going, Hey, T.D., let's do this, let's do that, you know? This tribe has been pretty damn tight. So you know what? The pressure's up; every immunity challenge I got to win. >> So, Aras, Casaya still holding strong. >> From my perspective, I think so. I mean, the reality is tonight someone from Casaya has to go home, and I'm fully aware that the target is nice and large on my back. >> Let's talk about the pros and cons of keeping Aras in the tribe. On the bad side, you're a threat. But on the flip side, if Casaya is staying strong, you hold the best chance of defeating Terry. Fair to say? >> I think I do have a good chance of beating Terry, and do people feel comfortable voting off the arguably the most athletic member of the Casaya five? I think they have a better chance with me. >> Shane, what do you base the vote on when you're getting rid of one of your own? Would it be a mistake at this point in the game to start thinking about who you want to take to the final two? Is it too early for that? >> Tonight, we have to eat one of our own, and that's... Sounds dramatic, but it's going to be dramatic. I mean, I know that, like, people are running stuff in their head about who they might want to position themselves to be around. We're going to have to shrink a little bit before the path is over, for sure. >> How about you, Danielle? Thoughts through your head about this is who I would like to sit next to in the final two, and this is who I don't want to to sit next to? >> My ain is, like, about to explode. I can't stop running numbers in my head, to be honest with you. >> Courtney, a couple of challenges ago, you took a lot of hits. >> Please, let's get through...! >> You were labeled the person who wouldn't shut up, the most annoying, the biggest poseur. Do you imagine whether people would want to take you to final two or not take you based on the perception of the tribe of who you are? >> Um, I think that when it comes down to who people want to take to the final two, I think that decision has to be made much further down the line. I'm not holding onto that challenge. I don't think anyone else is. It's sort of like you're on a clean slate. >> Okay, let's get to the vote. Terry has individual immunity. Any chance of giving that up to someone else? >> Negative. >> There is still the hidden immunity idol which has yet to come into play. If it does, you'll let me know after the votes are read. It is time to vote. Cirie, you're up. >> This is just a strategic move. I can't settle for third or fourth place after the things I've heard. >> You are the ultimate competitor. I couldn't have asked for a better rival, but you are still the 1 threat. >> You get to eat as much as you want, and I will never yell at you again. >> You're so beautiful, other, but this is for strategy. Namaste. >> I'll go tally the votes. >> Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote: Aras. Danielle. Aras. Two votes Aras, one vote Danielle. Courtney. That's one vote Courtney, two votes Aras, one vote Danielle. Courtney. That's two votes Courtney, two votes Aras, one vote Danielle. The 11th person voted out of Survivor, Exile Courtney. You need to grab your torch. >> That was a shocker. >> Courtney, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Well, after tonight's vote, I don't think there's any doubt that this is now an individual game. Grab your torches. Head back to camp. Good night. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on >> Aras and Cirie cover their tracks. >> In my viewpoint there is no choice. >> Aras has had enough. >> You're starting to offend me. >> And Shane is ought to his knees. >> Oh! >> I'm just completely shocked right now. My sisters-- that I unfortunately trusted-- turned on me. I guess they saw me a little bit too much of a threat for going to the final two. But that's the way it goes. And life goes on from here. You know, I'm gonna continue to live my dreams and make it happen, and that's what matters.
>> Previously on Terry felt the pressure to crash the Casaya bonds. >> It's really imperative to try to make some allies before the next immunity challenge. >> At the reward challenge... You've got to follow that rope! ...the tribe was divided into two teams of three. Terry, Danielle, Courtney win reward. The reward was a barbecue feast... Ready. ...and the chance to play in a second surprise challenge... Aim. ...for a and-new car. Fire. >> Yes, yes, yes! >> Terry wins the GMC Yukon. >> Unbelievable. >> The feast winners arrived in style and fired up the grill. >> Cheers. >> Then Terry made a bid for a three-way alliance. >> I would do anything to get us to a final three. >> I'm 100 behind you. >> Back at camp... >> We're going to vote off Danielle. >> Right, but then there's still Courtney. It'll be me, you and Courtney. Right. >> Shane's plan made Cirie suspicious. >> If he could take Courtney to the final two, he just may win a million dollars. So Courtney, to me, is more dangerous now than having Terry around. >> At the immunity challenge... >> Hold on, Court, he's failing, I can see it. >> Once again, Terry was unbeatable. (Courtney grunts) Terry wins his fourth straight immunity. Back at camp... >> If you want to be here tomorrow, me, you and Aras have to vote Courtney. >> Cirie enlisted Aras and Danielle into her plan to get rid of Courtney. >> Shane wants to take Courtney to the final two. I think Terry wants to take Courtney to the final two. Some kind of way, Courtney's going, believe that. (Courtney whistling) >> Courtney and Terry thought the plan was to get rid of Aras. >> We're going to send Aras home, so I'm feeling pretty damn good. >> And Shane was sure Danielle was the next to go. >> That's it, Danielle, one, two, three, four, then we each move on one more spot. >> But at Tribal Council... The 11th person voted out of Exile Island... Shane, Terry, and Courtney were shocked at the results. Courtney, the tribe has spoken. Five are left. Who will be voted out tonight? (theme song playing) >> At Tribal Council, I thought we were all going to vote Danielle out, and without me knowing, Cirie, Danielle and Aras voted Courtney out, so I was shocked. >> Coming back from Tribal was a little bit uncomfortable because Shane wanted to go to the final two with Courtney. So to reassure Shane, Aras and I came up with the story that we couldn't tell him we decided to vote Courtney because we didn't have time, we were leaving for Tribal and he was up in no-man's-land. >> Right. >> I think it would have been easiest to take Courtney to the two, but Cirie assured me that our alliance is still good. So there's five of us left now, Danielle goes next, and then we're in the final four. Man, it's nice to not have that moron here running her mouth. >> Don't sugarcoat it, how do you really feel? >> I'm just so happy that chick's gone. >> Last night was the fifth failure for me in trying to get numbers on my side. Danielle and myself, we were going to take Courtney to the final three. We shook hands on it, we looked each other in the eye, and I was lied to. So as far as I'm concerned, if Danielle's the next on the chopping block, that's fine with me. Not my problem anymore. >> Come on in, guys. Guys ready to get to today's challenge? >> Oh, yeah. >> For today's challenge, we have taken elements from past challenges, put them together to create a four-stage obstacle course. Here's how it works: On my go, five of you will dig in a circle of sand looking for a bag. First four to find the bag, move on to the second round. For the second round, carrying that bag, you will race to untie a wooden snake. The first three to get to the finish with the bag and the snake move on to the third round. For the third round, you're now carrying the bag and the snake as you race over a sand hill, into a water pit where you will untie a large fish. The first two to get to the finish with the fish, the bag, and the snake, move on to the final round. For the last round, you'll square off head-to-head as you are now carrying all three items you've collected through a series of wooden tunnels and towers. First person to the finish wins reward. Want to now what you're playing for? >> Yeah! >> Today you're playing for love. Face-to-face in person with your loved ones. >> Oh, man. >> The winner of today's challenge is responsible for allocating who gets love and how much love they get. We'll draw for spots and we'll get started. First four to get a bag and cross the finish move on. Survivors, ready? Go! Shane digging fast, Terry digging quickly. Aras right the middle of it digging down. Four people going to get a bag and move on to the next round. Danielle has her hands on her bag. Danielle moving on. Terry moving on. Two more spots left. Cirie, Shane, Aras looking for love. Who's going to get it? Aras going to get the third spot. One spot left. Cirie still in it. Shane still in it. Keep digging. Cirie has her hands on the bag. Cirie moving on. Shane, first one out. It's Aras, Cirie, Danielle and Terry. Three people moving on to the next round. Survivors, ready? Go. First three to get a snake untied and get to the finish with both of their items move on. Terry and Aras quickly at work on their snakes. Danielle untying a snake. Cirie in it now, she's untying a snake. How quickly can you get the knots undone. Danielle with her snake undone. She's first down. Danielle has her bag, heading for the finish. Aras has his snake. He's heading for the finish. Terry has his snake. Danielle moving on, Aras moving on. Terry gets the third spot. Cirie out of the challenge. Here we go. It's Terry, Danielle and Aras. The first two to get to the finish with the bag, the snake, and the fish move on to the final round. Survivors, ready? Go. Terry lost his snake, got to go back. Aras with a bit of a lead. Terry trying to make up some ground. Everybody at the fish at the same time. >> Come on, Aras! >> Aras first undone with his fish. It's down to Terry and Danielle. Danielle using her teeth. Terry has his fish. Holding on to it with his teeth. Danielle got to hurry up. Aras moving on, Terry moving on, Danielle out of the competition. Here we go. A showdown between Aras and Terry. Who's going to be in charge of allocating the love? Survivors, ready? Go! Terry lost his fish, he's got to go back. Aras with a bit of a lead right off the bat. Aras up the first tower, Terry right behind making up some time. Aras almost loses his bag. We're dead even. Terry and Aras coming to a meeting point, who's going to get there first? They're stuck. They're fighting for it. Nobody wants to give up an inch. Terry's going to get through first. Terry almost loses the fish. Terry and Aras are neck and neck again. Aras loses his bag and has to go back and get it. Terry down through the tower. Aras out of it. >> Where's the love, baby? >> Terry wins reward. >> Okay, now we get to the fun part. First, we're going to ing out your loved ones. >> Oh, my God. >> Terry, here's your wife, Trish. >> God. >> That's so awesome. (applause) >> I love you. >> Love you. >> How's he look? >> Good. >> Aras, here's your mom, Theresa. (applause) >> Hey, Mom. >> You rock! You rock, baby! >> Danielle, here's your mom, Denise. >> Mommy. (applause) (crying) Mom, don't cry. I love you. >> Cirie, here's your husband, H.B. >> H.B. Yeah, H.B.! >> Yeah, baby! >> Hey, bunny! (laughter) I miss you so much, baby. >> I love you, too, honey. >> I'm so proud of you. >> Finally, Shane, here's your son, Boston. (cheers and applause) >> Oh! Oh, Boston! >> Oh, man, all right! >> I love you so much. >> I love you, too. >> Okay. Terry, here's how it's going to work. Two of the loved ones are going to go with their survivors on an overnight stay. You'll go to a beautiful villa, you'll have pizza, lots of stuff to drink, plenty of snacks. In addition, you'll have separate bedrooms, so you'll have a little privacy. That's for two of the loved ones. One loved one is going to go back to camp with their survivor. You get to live as they've been living for the last 31 days. That leaves us with two people. This is where it gets tough. One of the final two will get a hug with their loved one and that is it. And the last person will get nothing more than this, separated by 20 feet, and that person will be sent to Exile Island. So the first decision I need is who is the first loved one that is going to join their survivor on the overnight stay. >> Myself and Trish. >> Trish, come on over, give your man a hug. Okay. Next decision, who's the second loved one that is going to join you on the overnight stay? >> Boston, Shane. >> Oh, God, God... Oh, my God. >> Now, the next decision, which loved one gets the experience of going back to camp? >> H.B., you're up, hubby. >> Oh! Hi, baby. >> All right, Terry, toughest decision now. Two people left. Both their loved ones are here. Who's getting the hug? >> I'm going to send Aras back to camp tonight. >> Oh. >> So Aras gets the hug. >> Aras, come meet your mom. Get some love. >> I'm so proud of you. >> When I get home... >> Yeah? >> Will you please on the table have, like, five dinners? >> Everything. I'll just make everything you want. Oh, my God. >> I love you. >> Danielle, Denise, I'm sorry that this is as good as it gets. Hopefully, it was enough, Danielle, for you to be able to see your mom. >> I love you so much. And we all love you so much, the whole family and Pugsy. We miss you so much. >> Give everybody a big kiss for me when you get home. >> I'm so proud of you. >> Mom, you're making me cry. Stop. >> Be strong. >> I will. She's so cute. I love her. >> All right, Danielle, Exile Island awaits. The boat will pick you up. Okay, Aras, Cirie, H.B., Shane, Boston, Trish, Terry, head on out. >> I was so disappointed to have my mother, like, five feet in front of me and not be able to talk to her and give her a hug, and everybody else did. That really sucked. Maybe this is Terry's head right now. It's all good. He'll get his. Terry, he's out for me. He's pissed off because I basically ruined his strategy plan to take Courtney to the final two. And you know what? I don't care. I was really pissed that I couldn't see my mom, but at the same time I'm not going to sit and cry about it. And how do you like that? I don't have to share this with anybody. This is fabulous. >> Yeah? >> Yeah. >> Were they good? >> Mm-hmm, when we was hungry it was. >> Yeah? >> Why are you inging the stuff in here? This is where we sleep at. >> Oh, yeah? >> Coming back to camp with H.B. was kind of funny for me because I knew he didn't know what to expect. >> Yeah. But that's okay. >> How's it feel to see her, man? This is our reality. >> I think it was shock for H.B. to see how primitive we live. >> What is that? >> Oh, these is snail butts. >> Oh, snail who? >> Butts. >> Butts? >> Like the guts or something. I use it to attract the fish. >> Oh, okay, good. >> It's called chum in the water. >> Oh, okay. Hmm. >> So, like, you see a fire like that, that means there's tons of embers. You kind of try to make a teepee. You want to have a lot of air under the sticks. >> Okay. (laughter) Man down! Man down! >> We never made fire. We ain't never been camping. H.B. is just like me. He's never been anywhere. He's a couch potato. >> What you going to do with that, drink it? >> Yeah, that's how we do it. >> That's water. (laughs) >> Oh... With the dirt and stuff in it? >> It's good for you. (laughs) >> Okay. I thought that was, like, a basin that y'all wash y'all feet in or something. Wow. (laughter) >> Seeing H.B. here, green, not really knowing anything, it helped me a little bit to appreciate how far I've come. It almost makes me feel like I kind of underestimated myself for 35 years. And now it's like, Damn, you can do anything! >> Oh! >> Three types of ice cream. >> Dude, eggs! >> Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. >> And milk, pancake mix. (gasping) >> What is this? >> Is that a cerveza? >> We went to this beautiful house here in Panama. In the kitchen, just sitting there were four different kinds of pizza. Two bottles of white wine, two bottles of champagne, a 12-pack of beer. >> Oh, my God! Beer! (gasping) I just want to eat it raw. There had to have been about three pounds of bacon. All kinds of snacks. Pretty much as much as you wanted. It was all there. >> Look at this! >> This is how I was in 1978. >> I was really surprised at the condition that Terry was in. I almost gasped. I've never seen him so emaciated and so worn out. Oh, I can't wait to get that beard off him, and get him back to his hot-looking studly self. >> Day one, each tribe is on its own island, okay? >> Oh, that's cool. >> We get there, and, dude, I'm freaking out. If I could have chosen one reward and lost the rest of them, I've got my son on an overnight with all the food I could ever want. By day six, I'm out of my mind. I'm ready to quit. I don't because I think about you, and I think about how you would have killed me if I would have quit. You know, my son would have missed out on this amazing experience and I'm so grateful I didn't quit. >> This is what Exile Island is all about and the hidden immunity idol. It's a shrunken head. I'll try to unflatten it a little bit. >> That's a good thing to have. >> It is a very good thing to have. We started talking about the game and the fact that my wife is such a perceptive person and great at strategizing. Immediately she just invested her whole mind into what I was going through and interjected herself into the game. >> I'm starting to feel like it's going to end up being all men at the end. >> We're going to take out Aras. Me and Cirie, when it gets to the four probably. >> But Danielle is gone. >> She knows she's done. >> I tell you what, if I were her... >> I'd look for the idol. >> But the idol is in his bag that's in your bedroom right now. >> He hasn't told me, I'm serious. >> You know, the thing that was really weird is that Terry's wife, Tricia, is more competitive than Terry. So she was the one that wanted to talk about strategy. What a lovely woman, but unbelievably competitive. It's been hard out here without you. >> I think my dad's doing really well in the game 'cause he knows how to play the game. He's really smart and athletic. He's like a other to me more than a father. We do everything together. And he's like a kid and he, like, he does fun things with me and stuff, so I really missed him. >> I love you. >> I love you, too, Dad. You okay? >> I'm so good. I just remember him saying, you know what I mean, like, Shane, here comes your son, Boston. I just couldn't believe it. >> This is nice. >> I didn't really give a crap that much about the bed. It was who I was sleeping with was extremely wonderful. (both laughing) We had some private time, but I tell you, just the snuggling, just the snuggling and being able to sleep with my wife was just a warm, warm feeling. God, this is awesome. >> Okay, baby. >> Do you see that stuff right there? >> Uh-huh. >> Those anches? >> Yeah. >> Can you get that? >> Yep. As soon as I got up, it was like, Okay, we need to do the fire, okay, we need to get food, okay, we need to get water, and I'm like, Oh, my God, we just woke up already! >> We need to reserve our energy, so he needs to help us and he needs to see what we do daily. But he likes it. He doesn't mind. Thank you, honey. >> Uh-huh. Cirie and Aras have been working me like a dog and it's bugging me a little bit. It's like, Honey Bunny, can you go get us some water? Honey Bunny, can you get us some more twigs? Honey Bunny, can you cut this coconut? Honey Bunny, can you scale this fish? I'm like, Oh, gosh, you're killing me out here. Y'all got your own little servant, boy, I tell you. (Cirie laughing) Mm-mm-mm! Y'all are livin' it up, living it up! But I know that I'm not going to be here long, so I'm going to help as much as I can. Boy, here goes nothing. >> Oh, my gosh. >> I'm so proud of Cirie. I mean, words can't even express, you know... (sobbing): ...words can't even express how I feel just to know that Cirie is doing this for her family. It's wonderful to see that she would come out here and take this risk for us. I love you so much, baby. >> I love you, too, honey. >> She's my hero. >> Bye, honey. >> All right, baby. >> See you, H.B.! >> Take care of him, honey. >> Having H.B. at camp ought back why I'm here. I'm not just here for me. I'm here for us as a family. I want H.B. to have a better life. I want us to have, like, a wonderful life. >> What up? How was it, guys? Did you get your good night's sleep in? >> Oh...! >> You are so welcome. You know what? The choices were so clear to me. >> When Terry and Shane returned from their reward, Terry was kind of explaining his reasoning for delegating the time the way he did. >> Terry, just to let you know, 24 or not 24, man, everybody out here wanted to see their family members. Just as bad as you wanted to see Trish, I wanted to spend the night with my mom, and to, like, think, Well, it's just a mom, that rubs me the wrong way when you say that. >> When you get married, in my viewpoint, there's no choice. If I had a choice to see my wife or I had a choice to see my mother, I'm seeing my wife. >> You won your reward. Congratulations, you got to be with your wife. I didn't get to be with my mom, so have a little bit of sympathy and understanding. Dude, 33 days, man. You know? >> Mm-hmm. >> And that is my rock. Everyone's got their rock... >> Right. >> ...and what you're saying is Well, that rock is more important than that rock. My mom is huge for me. >> Here I have some 24-year-old kid lecturing me-- My mom is my rock and she means as much to me as your wife means to you. I like the fact that Aras came unglued. It showed a part of him that I hadn't seen and maybe a little crack that I can take advantage of. When you have a wife, you'll know this. When it happens for you, it will happen. >> The least that I would expect from a 46-year-old man who talks about his age over a 24-year-old all the time is respect. That doesn't register with Terry. But what he's doing is he's feeding my fire, and the more he does it, the more I want to beat him. >> Come on in, guys! We'll now ing in Danielle from Exile Island. >> Hey. >> How was it? >> It was awesome. The weather was beautiful, so it made my experience a lot more enjoyable than the first time. >> All right. Ready to get to today's immunity challenge? >> Yep. >> Oh, yeah. >> First things first, Terry. After four straight individual immunity wins by Terry, the immunity necklace is back up for grabs. Today's immunity challenge is going to require balance and a steady hand. You are each going to stand on a very small perch at the top of a 20-foot pole in the water. On my go, you will lower a bucket into the water, take that water, and pour it into a very narrow bamboo shoot. As the bamboo shoot fills up with water, it will raise a flag. When the flag is high enough for you to reach, grab it. First person to raise their flag over their head wins immunity, guaranteed a spot in the final four. That is a one-in-four shot for the million bucks. One big rule: your feet are on the perch. Your butt, your knees cannot touch the perch. Make sense? >> Yeah. >> Losers-- Tribal Council tonight, somebody going home. We'll draw for positions and get started. (Cirie shrieks) For immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final four. Survivors ready? Go. Terry quickly up with a bucket of water and he's pouring. Cirie really taking her time. Aras pouring. Danielle pouring. Nobody hitting the bamboo shoot yet. Your goal is to get water in that bamboo shoot as quickly as you can. As the bamboo shoot fills up, the flag will raise. Terry's flag starting to raise. Danielle's starting to raise a little bit. Patience and balance-- the key. Aras gets a little bit of water in that shoot. Terry's flag moving up quickly. Danielle's moving up. Cirie surprising herself 20 feet up in the air. Shane still with nothing. Aras now on the board, his flag starting to rise. Cirie's flag starting to rise. Shane not having much luck yet, water going everywhere. It's pretty even right now-- Terry, Danielle, neck and neck. Cirie right in it. Shane has absolutely nothing happening. >> 'Cause I've been pouring into the wrong hole like a moron. >> Shane just now figuring out the challenge. >> That's never good, is it now, Jeff? That's never good! >> Aras gets a nice bit of water in that chute, his flag raises quite a bit. Immunity on the line. Terry still with a bit of a lead over Cirie, Danielle, and Aras. Everybody in this except Shane, who's starting to figure it out now. Aras catching up, his flag raises quite a bit. Terry getting closer with each bucket. Aras and Danielle right behind him. Terry getting much closer to where he can reach down and grab it. Aras getting close enough that he can reach down and grab it. Is it close enough for Terry? No, not close enough for Aras either. One or two more buckets could do it. Terry right on the money, raising his flag quite a bit. Aras fighting back, not giving up. Aras getting closer. Terry's almost there. Terry reaching for the flag. Terry... >> Yeah! >> ...wins immunity for the fifth straight time! (Terry yells) >> Shut up. (Terry laughs) >> Oh. Terry, come on over. You are undefeated in individual immunity challenges. Once again, Terry is safe at Tribal Council. Cirie, Shane, Danielle, Aras, for one of you, the game will come to an end tonight. Swim on in, I'll see you at Tribal. >> (mimicking Probst): For one of you, the game will end tonight. (sings dramatic fanfare) >> Hoo-ee! >> That was fun. Winning the immunity challenge today was huge because it doesn't just win me the four, it vaults me into the final three. I have the hidden immunity idol, I don't even have to show up for the next immunity challenge. What a relief. I've had the hugest target on my back, now the pressure is off. >> I think she's depressed 'cause she knows she's next. The plan is for me, Aras, and Cirie to take out Danielle tonight. And I'm in a great space. I've set myself up so that I'm safe and I feel like things are going to be solid. >> After what happened at Tribal Council the other night, Danielle, you know, she blew me off so I wouldn't feel too bad sending her off. And from what I know, she's going anyway. >> My guess is it's going to go down that way, yes. >> I would love to take Shane to the final two. Not that he doesn't work, but my case speaks for itself. Going out fishing for people and cleaning up the camp and collecting firewood and building fires and teaching people stuff. With a huge target on my back and winning the challenges, that I think would be a no- ainer even for a heavily loyal Casaya jury. >> Shane thinks I'm going home. It's so funny how he thinks he knows what's going on and, like, he's controlling everything. He doesn't know anything. >> I was in an alliance with Shane, but I found out he wanted to take Courtney to the final two and so that pretty much puts me off the hook. I no longer feel any obligation. >> Yeah? >> ...and she's good. >> I've done a really good job of setting Shane up for a situation like this. Shane thinks I'm his puppy dog. He thinks he can tell me to do this and I'll do it because, up until this point, I have. Which really makes it easy for me to do things pretty inconspicuously. >> I know that Shane is looking to get rid of me, I'm looking to get rid of him. Terry's out for me, he's pissed off, but I have a strong bond with Aras and Cirie. Cirie especially. I just trust Cirie with my life. Like, I really, really do. It's so key in this game to have one person at least that you can trust. So I'm pretty confident right now with my alliance. >> This one is going to go Danielle. >> Right. >> And then the next one we'll go Aras. But we can't look like we're betraying Aras, because then he'll remember that on the jury. >> Right. >> And you're straight, you feel good, and you're 100 with me? >> 100. No problem. >> You, Danielle and Aras aren't ... me, correct? >> No. No, no, no, no, no. >> All right. I feel good. I think we're probably pretty good to the three. >> Yes. Shane thinks that me, him and Aras are going to vote for Danielle when, in all actuality, Aras and Danielle are going to vote for Shane. Aras and Danielle-- those are the two people I've had the longest alliance with. At the same time, this is still a game and you have to look at it logically, because I think Danielle will be able to beat me in the final two. Courtney didn't hold true to Danielle's friendship, and I think Bruce kind of had a love affair with Danielle, and I don't know if her and Austin bonded at Exile Island when they almost died. So Danielle is a threat. >> I think I've set myself up so that I'm safe, and I feel like, at this point, I could beat anybody. I feel like I could. I mean, I feel comfortable, as comfortable as you can feel out here. (laughter) Like, am I going tonight? Just let me know if I'm going tonight. >> I love Aras, but I'm going to do everything, everything that I can do to get myself further in the game. So it is safe to say that somebody's going to be surprised tonight. There's going to be huge fireworks, bigger than the Fourth of July. (laughing) >> We'll now ing in the members of our jury. Austin... Sally... Bruce... and Courtney... voted out at the last Tribal Council. Terry, let's talk about the loved one challenge. Was that a tough dilemma being in charge of allocating the love? >> It's always a tough charge when you're put in almost a God position. But the initial thing for me, obviously, was my wife, followed by Shane and then H.B. got to go see what Cirie was up to. Uh, you know, I'm afraid if I offended anybody, but I think it all worked out okay. >> Cirie, how did your husband like living at camp? >> He was thankful for the experience, um... but ready to go home. You know, he's like a city guy. But for him to get to see what we go through, it left him extremely, extremely proud. He said I was his hero. Um, this is something once-in-a- lifetime for us. >> Shane, you waited a long time for Boston to get here. >> It was, um... Yesterday was unbelievable. It was a magical, magical, like, vacation with him and we were just hanging and being dad and son, and as I watched the sun go down, I just thought to myself there's absolutely nowhere else on the planet Earth I would rather be. >> Let's get to the immunity challenge. Terry wins again. Five straight. Aras, there's an obvious competition between you two. >> For me, it just becomes more fun in a competitive sense. You can look at it any way you want, every time is a crack at him. The thing of it is with Terry is that he knows it just takes one crack and he's done. >> At what point do you stop saying Just one crack and he's done and start saying Terry's looking pretty good right now. >> Well, Jeff, this way that I look at it, is the challenges-- just one part of the game. You can win all the challenges you want. If you don't win people over, you don't win the million dollars. >> Shane, can you be trusted at this point in the game? >> Yes, absolutely. I have not lied to anyone. I have not cheated anyone. My integrity is 100 intact. >> How about you, Danielle? Can you be trusted? >> Um, when you feel like you lose trust with someone or someone's doing something sneaky behind your back or talking about voting you off first, then you make a move. That's how I look at it. You have to make moves in the game to further yourself. I mean, that's the whole point of the game, isn't it? >> I'm looking at the immunity challenge today and here's what I saw. Cirie, Danielle working hard. Terry, Aras working hard. Shane pouring the water down the wrong hole, kind of making jokes. If you were less comfortable at this point in the game, would today's immunity challenge have had a different feeling for you? >> You know, I have one thing in my favor which is, I feel like I'm sort of being carried to the end because I don't know, I feel like everyone here thinks they can beat me if we get to the jury, or maybe more easily than, like, Cirie who's a mother of three and an unbelievable person, or Aras who's the golden boy who at any point could levitate home, you know what I mean? There might be a little more rust on me, you know? >> Danielle, how worried are you, being two days away, that you have no idea what's in store tonight? >> I'm scared. I mean, I've been away for two days on Exile Island. You don't know what's going on, you come back to camp and, you know, there could be other alliances formed or whatever. I can only wish and pray. I... I don't feel comfortable. >> Okay, let's get to the vote. Terry has the individual immunity necklace. You going to keep it? >> Oh, yeah. >> And once again this hidden immunity idol has yet to have come into play. If somebody has it and they're going to use it, they'll use it after the vote. It is time to vote. Aras, you're up. >> (whispers): Shane, sorry, other. >> I'll go tally the votes. >> Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote... Danielle. Shane. One vote Danielle, one vote Shane. Shane. Two votes Shane. 12th person voted out of Exile Island... Shane. (Shane chuckling) >> Wow. >> That's enough votes. You need to ing me your torch. >> Oh, my God, I'm going to have a chocolate ice-cream bar in about one minute... I mean one minute. >> Shane, the tribe has spoken. >> Well, the last two Tribal Councils, the person voted out has been absolutely shocked, so if trust wasn't an issue, it certainly will be from here on out. Six days left, grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on >> What are you talking about? >> Cirie stands up to Terry. >> Make an attempt to talk to people like you want to be talked to. >> Whoa! >> The Terry-Aras rivalry gets personal. Two battering rams! And Danielle makes a move. >> I will swear on it now. >> We are going to go to the finals, you and I. >> It's the right time to align myself with Terry. >> Ah... I got duped. I was blindsided. I really thought that me, Aras, and Cirie were, uh, locked in. This will be the toughest thing I ever do in the history of my life. I just want to tell you, Bobo, I love you so much, I'm sorry I didn't win, I tried my hardest, and Daddy's proud of himself, although disappointed, and I love you.
>> Previously on >> Aras and Cirie covered their tracks... after duping Shane by ousting Courtney. >> At the reward challenge... Terry wins reward! Trish, come on over, give your man a hug. ...Terry won a night with his wife at a private villa... Who's the second loved one that is going to join you? ...and chose Shane and his son to join them. >> HB. >> Terry picked Cirie's husband to spend the night at the tribe camp. Who's going to Exile Island? >> Danielle. >> All right, Danielle, Exile Island awaits. >> This is Terry's head right now. >> Danielle fumed on Exile Island, while at a stunning villa overlooking the ocean... >> Oh, God. >> ...Terry, Shane and their loved ones... >> I'll be good to you. >> ...enjoyed some quality time together. >> I love you. >> I love you, too. >> The reward was unbelievable. >> What are you gonna do with that, drink it? >> Yeah. >> With the dirt and stuff in it? >> Cirie's husband was completely out of his element at camp. (fire pops) >> What the hell...? >> And after he said his good-byes... >> See ya, HB! >> ...and Terry and Shane returned to camp, the tension between Aras and Terry... >> In my viewpoint, there is no choice. >> ...began to build. >> You're starting to offend me. What he's doing is, he's feeding my fire, and the more he does it, the more I want to beat him. >> Terry's flag moving up quickly. At the immunity challenge, it was another showdown between Terry and Aras. Terry's almost there. Aras fighting back. Not giving up. Terry wins immunity for the fifth straight time. >> She's depressed 'cause she knows she's next. >> Shane and Terry were convinced that Danielle was next to go. >> My guess is that it's going to go down that way, yes. >> ...but Cirie, Aras and Danielle had other plans. >> Everything's the same. Shane is it. Shane thinks that me, him and Aras are going to vote for Danielle, when in all actuality, me, Aras and Danielle are going to vote for Shane. >> And at Tribal Council... Twelfth person voted out of Exile Island... ...Shane was completely blindsided and ejected from the game. Shane the tribe has spoken. Four are left. Who will be voted out tonight? (theme song playing) (insects chirring) >> Aw, boy. We get back from Tribal and it's pitch-black-- you can't see anything. Well, I put my torch the best place I could find to put it. I did, right there. I couldn't see. >> I didn't know it had a specific place. >> I don't slap my kids, Terry. Thank you. Well, here comes Captain America, and he's like, Well, who dropped their torch in the middle of the...? I don't even know-- in the middle of what? We have like 50 miles of beach. >> You do know I was right behind you... >> Terry, I can't see. I wasn't looking for you. So I don't know where you want my torch to be. >> Well, God, this just looks like one of my kids, you know... >> Well, I'm not like one of your kids. >> You're not. You're not, and that's why I expected a little bit more. Make an attempt... >> I don't care what you expect. I expect more of you-- you're 46 years old! >> Make an attempt to throw... >> Make an attempt to talk to people like you want to be talked to. >> I tell you what. Then the least you could've said was, Hey, I'm sorry I dropped it... >> I didn't know you were right behind me. I don't have to say that. What are you talking about? >> Regardless, it was where I happen to be walking... >> Well, sorry, King Terry, that this torch was where you were walking? >> All right, all right, Cirie. Don't get so upset. >> Don't ruin our night tonight, Terry. All right? Don't come into final four territory and ruin it for everybody else. >> Oh, Who...? >> Terry, you yelled at Cirie for putting her stick where she wanted to put it, as a 35-year-old grown woman, and then you start an argument... >> It was right in front of me, where I was walking. After a few minutes, when we joined up at the fire, I became the pin cushion and all three ganged up on me on how inconsiderate it was for me to tell Cirie not to drop a piece of equipment right in front of me. >> We could've come back here and cele ated our final four, but you knocked Cirie right away-- first thing you do. >> All right, all right. That's fine, that's fine. And you know what? You guys, maybe I'll go to bed and you can have your little final-three situation, all right? It doesn't matter to me. >> Oh, man. I didn't come here to make friends with 24-year-olds. They haven't made it easy for me. The target's been on my back. I've been the underdog the whole time. >> Congratulations, final four. >> I know. >> The three of us did it. >> You know what? If nobody talks to me for the next five days, I could give... I'm winning the million dollars and that's all. >> That's all it is. >> Come on in, guys. The final four. You guys ready to get to today's challenge? >> Yeah. >> It is for reward. Here's how it works: You will be attached to ropes by one of two carabiners; using the two carabiners, you'll clip and unclip from one rope to another as you navigate your way around each other along a main thoroughfare that leads to six stations-- holes, hermit crabs rocks, iguanas, shells and fish. Each time you get to a station, you must count the number of items, race back to the start, find the answer tile with that same number on it. Once you've been to all six stations, you will have six numbers. You'll then place those six numbers into an answer grid. Using the combinations of the two numbers in each column will open the locks. If a lock doesn't open, it means you counted wrong. You can head back out and correct your mistakes. Once you've opened all three locks, the tribe flag will drop. First person to lower their tribe flag, wins reward. What to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah. The winner of today's challenge gets a once-in-a-lifetime tour of the Panama Canal aboard a luxury hundred-foot yacht. >> Huh? >> Wow. >> Five-course meal, open bar. Spend the night. In addition, the winner will decide who goes to Exile Island. Worth playing for? >> Yeah. >> We'll draw for spots and we'll get started. For reward, survivors ready? Go! Terry and Aras, off to a quick start. You only need one carabiner on at a time. Cirie, trying to go around Terry, booth losing a lot of time. Cirie, playing defensively, nice move. Aras, off to his first station. He's counting rocks. Danielle, counting the shells. Cirie, to her first station. She's counting iguanas. >> Ooh. One, two, three... >> Terry, counting the poles. >> ...38. >> Aras, heading back from his first station. Cirie, right behind. Now Terry's coming back. Danielle, heading back from her first station. Bit of a traffic jam. Terry and Danielle, heading back. Aras and Danielle, jammed up. Aras is already coming back from his second station. >> One, two, three... >> ...18, 19... >> Terry, coming back from the second station. Cirie, heading back from the second station. Terry's made up a lot of time. Danielle's trapped. Got everybody locked up. Now Cirie's making up time. Cirie, Terry, and Aras, all back with their second number. >> Doesn't work... I hate this. >> Everybody gonna have to keep moving. You slow down, you will fall out of this. You get tired, you will fall out of this. You can sleep on the yacht. Aras, getting a lot of momentum now. Terry, back out on the course, looking for his fourth number. Terry and Aras, mixing it up. It's back and fourth. One carabiner over another. Aras frees up, heads back with his fourth number. Danielle, back with her third number. Terry, back with his fourth number. Cirie, back with her fourth number. Aras, heading back with his fifth number. Terry, heading back with his fifth number. Terry's made up some time. Terry now with the lead. Aras takes it back. Now Terry has it, and Cirie, coming down to be a roadblock. >> Over the top, Cirie, over the top. Danielle's got her fourth number. >> Terry and Aras, quickly trying to find their number and get back out here to that sixth station. Aras jumps into the lead. >> D, let me through! Let me through! >> Aras, working with Danielle to get more of a lead. Terry, right behind him. Aras, getting blocked by Danielle. Aras wants Danielle to block Terry. >> Go the other way. >> Terry and Aras, looking for their sixth station. Danielle, 'causing a roadblock. It's Aras, Terry, Danielle, Cirie-- all mixed in together. Who's working against who? Who's helping who? >> Ow! Ow! >> Cirie blocks Terry now. >> Terry, Aras going to their last stations. Aras and Terry neck and neck. Both coming back from their sixth stations. >> Block his ass. >> Watch it, Dee. >> It is a roadblock with Terry and Aras trying to get back to the end. >> Yeah, man. Whoa! >> You pushed me first, Aras. You pushed me first. >> Whoa, easy guys, easy. >> Pull. >> Terry, you pull it. >> Keep your hands off. >> Two battering rams. >> Oh, my... >> Aras now tied up with Cirie. Terry now with a bit of a lead. >> Oh, oh, my rope... >> Terry first back to his box. >> Dee, go around me! >> Aras back now. It's Terry and Aras. Do they have the right six numbers? Both trying to solve the combinations. Three locks. >> Six, seven, eight. >> Cirie and Danielle, you're not out of it till they get their locks open. Aras has figured out his first lock. Cirie back with her sixth number. Danielle now back. She's in it. Suddenly, Cirie and Danielle have a shot. Terry's figured out his first lock. Cirie has her first lock undone. Danielle has her first lock open. Everybody working on their second locks. Everybody in this. Anybody could win it. You think you have a number wrong, go back. Cirie and Terry heading back out for a second look. >> Go back there. >> Aras going to head back out. Danielle all alone now. If she's right, she could win it. >> Three... >> Terry coming back. Thinks he has the answer now. Danielle heading back out on the course for a second look. Seems nobody thinks they got it right. Terry's still fighting it, still not getting it. Cirie and Aras have been gone a long time. Terry heading back out for a third look. >> Don't you have to come back after each look once you're out there? Aras should have been back here already. He's taking multiple looks. >> No, Terry, you're good. >> I can take multiple looks? >> Yes! >> Oh, you didn't tell us that. Was one look and back to the station. >> Somebody call an ambulance. Terry's crying on the course. >> Well, I had to take over your role. >> Aras is back. Did he get it right this time? Danielle, Cirie, Terry, you are still in it. Aras opens his second lock. Aras with one lock left. Aras has his third lock undone! Aras wins reward! >> Yes! >> Good on you. Good on you. You-you got whatever he said, and I missed it. Let me get this straight. The first time out, we were only allowed one pass, come back and get the numbers. >> Yes. >> Well, the second time I came back, you know, I didn't... I didn't have to come back. I could have got... stayed out there. >> I got a question, Terry. Every time somebody else wins, are you going to say you got hosed? It that how it's going to be? >> Uh, that's the only... first time I lost, so there you go, Aras. >> Are you serious? >> Right back at you. >> 'Cause every time you don't win something, you complain about it, every time. >> Right back at you... >> You have no respect for anybody else out here. >> Keep it up. >> What are you going to do? Say something bad about women? Do I have to worry about that? >> Oh, there you go. That always works. That's a real mature comeback. (Aras scoffs) (Terry sighs) >> Aras? >> Yo. >> Come on over. Congratulations. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Tour the Panama Canal. Hundred-foot luxury yacht, five-course meal, open bar and an overnight stay. You're inging one person with you. The other two people who do not go on the reward will go to Exile Island. (Cirie gasps) So the name I want is the person who is going with you on the reward. >> Cirie. >> Cirie. >> Thank you! >> Sorry, Dee. Sorry, Terry. >> Got to do what you got to do, man. >> Danielle, heading right back to Exile Island. Terry, been there several times yourself. Grab your stuff. Boat's waiting. (engine humming) >> Cirie, we're going on a yacht, and then we're going to go see the Panama Canal, but, most importantly, we're going to eat. (Cirie laughs) >> Winning my first individual reward challenge was really big for me psychologically. The reward was a five-course dinner on a yacht through the Panama Canal. (boat horn toots) (man speaking Spanish) >> Gracias. >> Okay. >> I was totally excited about being picked. I've seen yachts on TV, in music videos... (Cirie giggles) ...but never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I myself would be on a yacht. >> Cirie, cheers. >> Cheers to you, Aras! >> Final four. >> Final four. >> And hopefully, both of us make it final three. >> I know. Final two. Why you joking? >> Yeah, final two. >> Damn, that is huge. Damn, that's big! You can fit my house in there. >> If you couldn't fit your house in there, Cirie, I wouldn't let you win the million dollars. Let me tell you that right now. The situation with Terry is, I see him whining, and I'm, like, Oh, Terry's whining, and I make fun of him. >> What was he saying at that time? What he say...? >> Jeff, Aras should be back by now. (Cirie laughing) Aras should be back! He's looking at two in one trip. >> Is that what he said? >> Yeah. (Cirie laughs) And I yelled out, Somebody call an ambulance. Terry's crying on the course. It was huge to beat Terry at the reward challenge, but for me, what I try to practice is love and-and compassion, and I haven't practiced love and compassion with Terry recently. I have been... It's been ego. It's been all of my ego. >> Oh, this game is terrible. >> It is. You got to take people out. >> I hated that challenge today. (Terry scoffs) >> You know what? The rivalry with Aras is starting to get a little unhealthy. The past couple days, he's getting really, really emotional. >> Yeah. >> And I don't know if it's... he's cracking or what. Aras is kind of a hothead these days. His emotions-- he's really wearing them on his sleeve. What ticked me off is, at the challenge, I was just trying to get a final ruling on how I basically messed up. And out of his mouth came, You always argue when you've lost. Then he said Well, you know, what are you going to do, uh, you know, make a disparaging remark about women? I have not made a disparaging remark against a woman here. I wasn't appreciative of that, but, uh, I've got to just act like a 46-year-old, try to calm it down, you know, and hopefully, you know, there will be one more immunity challenge, either myself or Danielle will win it, and he'll be gone. >> Say you win the next immunity. >> That-that would... would be a must if we... if us two want to get to the final three, and... >> Then, yeah, you would win, and then Aras and Cirie will probably vote me, and since... >> Right. You'll have the hidden immunity idol. >> I'll have the hidden idol, because you won't be able to use it after that anyway. >> Right, right, and then just... >> And then I can vote Aras off, and then Aras will be the one to go. That would be... >> Right. Right, unless Cirie's got some wild hair and wants to vote Aras off, too. >> I doubt it. >> Yeah. >> They have, like, a bond. >> Yeah. >> Aras ended up winning the reward challenge, and he got to pick one person to take with him. He chose Cirie, so, therefore, that tells me that it's the right time to align myself with Terry. It's gotten to the point where it's like I'm going to try to use him. I don't care about being his friend. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to win the million dollars. I can't believe you found that right away. >> Terry has the hidden immunity idol. I mean, before she showed me a little glimpse of it, but this time around, I held it in my hands. It's 100, and I know he is going to possibly let me use it. >> We are going to do this thing, and we're both going to shake and look each other in the eye, and... >> No, no, I'll be... I-I will swear on it now. >> We are going to go to the finals, you and I. No matter who wins the three, you and I will go to the finals, and that's the way we'll do it. Then... >> We can't let Aras win the next immunity. >> No, uh-uh, no, we can't... >> He cannot win. >> The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and most of the canal is like a river, and then you get to the locks, and the locks are what allow you to rise or lower, depending on where you are in the canal, which is really cool. (bell ringing) >> Wow. (horn honks) >> The canal-- it just was unbelievable that something man- made could actually do something like that. >> It's cool, huh? (Cirie chuckles) >> Right now, I'm closer to Aras than anyone out here. I have been for 34 days now. >> This is my favorite time of day right here. (seagulls screeching) >> We're just taking it all in and thinking how nice it would be if the two of us made it to the final two. (horn blowing) >> Here's to the final four. (Aras mutters) Hopefully, the final two. >> On the yacht, from a distance, this looks like a nice place. I'm like, Wow, is that our beach? Damn, it looks nice. Is that where I spent the last 35 miserable days of my life? (chuckling) But you know what? Even though I'm not the adventurous, outdoors type, it was kind of nice to come back. >> Oh, that was amazing. >> That was amazing. ( eaking wind) >> Oh! >> That's why I don't like you. >> Come on, come back here, Cirie. >> No, it's toxic. ( eaking wind) >> I'm sorry, it's that reward. (groans) >> Hmm... I have never started a fire by myself with the flint. I wouldn't mind trying it. I don't think it's strange that I haven't started a fire by myself because there's always people around jumping at the bit to start the fire, so why stop them? If you want to start the fire, go ahead. Aras would never expect me to have a fire going when he woke up, so that's why I'm trying to get it going before he wakes up. I got a fire! Damn! (laughs) Oh, yeah. (laughs) I used the flint. >> Wow. I'm impressed. Cirie made a fire. It's awesome. Day one, Cirie out here would not have known what to do, and now she's come full circle. >> Yeah, I got the fire. (laughs) >> Come on in guys. Hello. >> Hey, Jeff. >> We'll now ing in Terry and Danielle from Exile Island. Welcome back, guys. >> Thanks. Hey. >> Aras, how was the tour of the Panama Canal? Did you get some food in your belly. >> I got a lot of food in my belly, Jeff. I ate almost too much. >> Feel energized for today's challenge? >> Yeah, I feel great. >> Ready to get to today's challenge? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> First thing's first. After five straight individual immunity wins by Terry, once again immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will work to solve three puzzles. Here's how it works. Using a set of coordinates, you'll cross two ropes. Where the ropes intersect you'll find a bag of puzzle pieces. Race back to your answer board, solve the puzzle. That puzzle will give you your next set of coordinates leading you to another bag of puzzle pieces and more coordinates. Make sense? First person to complete all three puzzles wins immunity, guaranteed a spot in the final three. Your first set of coordinates have already been set up for you. We'll draw for positions and we'll get started. Here we go. For immunity, survivors ready? Go. First coordinates are already done for you. Everybody's digging. Aras found his first bag of puzzle pieces. Danielle, Cirie, Terry all have their pieces. Everybody working on their first bag of puzzle pieces. Danielle using her teeth on those knots. Cirie, first to get hers open. Aras has his open. Terry and Danielle right behind. This puzzle will give you your next set of coordinates. Terry getting in on his puzzle. Cirie making some progress. Aras making good progress. Danielle getting closer. Aras has figured out his first puzzle. He's heading back out. Terry figured out his first puzzle. >> Dagger. Dagger, candle, doll. >> He's heading back out. >> Dagger, candle... >> Danielle has it. She's heading out. >> Scarecrow to mountain. Sword to candle. >> Aras has his second bag. He's heading back. Terry and Danielle are going to have to make up some time. Cirie is quickly falling out of it. Aras already working on his second puzzle. Terry coming back with his second bag of pieces. He's got some time to make up. Aras very close. Aras has his second puzzle. Aras has his second set of coordinates. Going for his final bag of puzzle pieces. Terry starting to work on his second puzzle. Danielle still looking for her second bag. Aras digging for that last bag. Cirie finishes her first puzzle. She's heading out. >> Why is this not working? >> Cirie looking for that second bag. Aras has his third and final set of puzzle pieces. He's heading back. Terry's still working on his second puzzle. Danielle's still digging. Cirie's still digging. Aras starts to work on the third and final puzzle. Terry has second puzzle completed. >> Skull, fire, dagger, skull. >> He's heading back out. >> Skull, fire, dagger, skull. Skull, fire, dagger, skull. >> Danielle having trouble. >> I don't get it. >> Use those ropes. You're getting sloppy with the ropes, you're not going to find it. >> Dagger, skull. >> Terry taking his time, making sure he's right. >> Skull, fire, dagger, skull. >> Aras making good progress on that last puzzle. Terry has his third bag of puzzle pieces. He's racing back now. It's Terry and Aras. Immunity on the line. Terry has his bag open. Starting to work on the puzzle. Aras still with a bit of a lead. Danielle back with her second bag. >> Damn! >> It's down to Aras and Terry. Both guys taking their time, nobody panicking. Terry getting through his puzzle quickly. He's gaining on Aras. We are tight. Aras very close. Terry getting closer. Aras working on that last piece. >> Safe from the vote. Got it! >> Aras wins immunity! >> All right. >> Damn. >> First time somebody other than Terry is wearing individual immunity. Aras is safe from the vote tonight. Terry, Danielle, Cirie, after 36 days, this game will come to an end for one of you at Tribal. It should make for a very fun afternoon. Head on back to camp. See you at Tribal. >> Um, the comments you made yesterday after the thing, um, were undefendable by me out in front of everybody like that. They were false, uncalled for and really slanderous. What I need for from you is either an apology, and then we can talk about where you're coming from and where I'm coming from, or we don't have a relationship for the next three days because that's how serious stuff like that can be. I don't treat flight attendants like that, I haven't done anything that I wouldn't tell my wife, my friends, my family, my priest. >> Terry was really upset that I made a comment to him after the reward challenge about him talking bad about women. Um, and you know what? I didn't feel good about making the comment that I made. When I made that comment, I knew it was going to get to you, but I apologize and I crossed a line that I don't want to cross. >> Okay. >> I apologize a hundred percent. You have not said a mean thing about women. That was out of context and I should not have said that. As a human being, I treated you unfairly and I take full responsibility for that. Going through this experience is something that really ings you closer together, regardless of how you feel about someone's personality. And hopefully Terry and I, through our conflict, we help each other grow. I apologize for going personal like that on you. >> All right, well, then, right here. >> I'm sorry. Straight up. I thought about that and I don't want to make this a personal thing. >> I accept that. I accept that. >> I don't want to make it... >> What the hell are they talking about? >> Why they hate each other. >> The outcome of the immunity challenge today-- Aras won, and now, uh, Tribal Council is going to go a little bit differently than we planned. Do you guys know what you're voting? Aras has the immunity necklace, and Terry has the hidden immunity idol, and my guess is that Aras and Cirie are probably going to vote me, and then me and Terry would vote Cirie. So it looks like me and you are going for... up against something tonight. >> Probably fire. That's what it usually is, making fire. >> So, we're assuming there will probably have to be a tie eaker. We'll probably have to do some sort of fire challenge, um, we're, we're guessing. I'm telling you right now, they're gonna... It's going to be a two-two for me and Cirie. >> Well, I was just wondering if you needed to... you know, learn how to... know how to deal with the magnesium. That's what they're going to ask you for. >> With the flint, you mean? Yeah, the back of the flint. >> You know the technique, right? (Aras vocalizing whooshing) >> Yeah, I know how to do it. >> Blow on it, like... and then sticks... small sticks. >> I got that part. >> Small sticks first, then put more husk. >> Just take the flint. (Terry vocalizing whooshing) >> Yeah. >> Take that back side, and you go... (Terry vocalizing whooshing) ...and you get as many... Try to get a pile about the size of a quarter next to your teepee, all right, so the tinder will catch. >> ...with sticks. >> So as soon as I get a flame, should I blow it or no? >> Hell, yeah. >> Or let it catch first? >> Yeah, let it catch and then... (blowing) ...and then keep building. Just keep putting sticks up. Hey, and have fun when you do it, too. Don't worry about the results. You made it so far already. Just enjoy yourself and know that you can do it. >> I have to. I don't want to go home. I have, like, mixed emotions about Tribal tonight. I feel nervous, and I feel like I'll prob... You know, it's a really strong possibility that I'm going to go home, but at the same time, I think I'll do fine in the fire-making challenge. I've only seen Danielle make fire with flint herself one time, and I think I'm just as good as she is at it. I want her to think she has the upper hand. >> I'm pretty confident that I'm good at starting fires, and I haven't seen Cirie do that at all, so I don't think the fire is her thing, but then again, I mean, I'm confident, but you never know, so you have to be prepared. You always have to have backup options. >> Right. Right. >> Then there's a tie, and we go. >> If you had the idol on you, then Cirie would automatically be out... >> Be out. >> ...and then you and me and-and Aras would go. >> This hidden immunity idol-- tonight's the last night it can be used, so I'm going to work Terry. If you gave it to me, they voted for me, and it was two for me and two for Cirie, and I pulled out the idol, I'd be fine? >> Yeah. Yeah, you'd be fine. >> I'm going to work him until we go to Tribal Council to-to try to give me that hidden immunity idol, and, uh, we'll see what happens. >> I'll now ing in the members of our jury. Austin, Sally, Bruce, Courtney and Shane voted out at the last Tribal Council. Well, when we started this game, we started with four groups-- older men, older women, younger men, younger women. You got to be proud going to the final four with one person representing each group. So, Aras, you and Terry have been battling at challenges. Suddenly, Terry loses back-to-back, you win back-to-back. Has there been a momentum shift? >> Yeah, I think there's been a momentum shift. This is the way that I look at it. I know every single time you say, Survivors ready, I have a chance to win, so I always had faith that if I kept knocking on the door, eventually, it would open up. >> Terry, this is the first time you've been in Tribal Council without that necklace. You are, in a sense, vulnerable. Do you feel it? >> No. >> You don't feel vulnerable? >> Right. >> Cirie, seem odd to you that Terry is not the least bit concerned? >> No. We've suspected for the longest time that Terry could possibly have the hidden immunity idol, and that would be the only reason that Terry should feel safe tonight, so I guess we were right. >> Let's talk about this hidden immunity idol. I told you that it was good through the final four vote. We are at the final four vote. It has not come into play yet. Tonight is the last night. Did that topic come up at all? >> Obviously, that topic came up, but it's up to the person that has it, and we don't know if they a hundred percent have it. >> The they is Terry? >> We're assuming Terry has it. Obviously, if he uses it, he'll use it on himself. >> In my opinion, I'm 100 sure that Terry had that hidden immunity idol. Now, whether or not it's still in his pocket or it's in somebody else's pocket-- that we don't know, but it's a risky call if you have that hidden immunity idol and give it to somebody else and put yourself on that chopping block, so we'll see what happens. >> So either way, Terry, it seems like good news for you at this point, because people aren't sure if you have it or not. >> I'm not sure if I have it or not. >> Well, here's what we know. If there's a hidden immunity idol, it will come into play after the vote. So, going into the vote, the only person you can't vote for is Aras. Cirie, if this is your last night-- you've been out here 36 nights-- how have you changed? >> I have lived my life underestimating myself. I've been on a couch for 35 years, basically. And to see the things that I've done and how long I lasted here, if this is my last night, I had a great time, I've experienced things I could never experience, once in a lifetime, and I'm okay. >> Danielle, how about for you? Have you changed out here, 36 days in? >> I just think that I've grown to be more patient with different personalities. I mean, I don't think I've done this crazy change, but I've... I think I've mentally grown stronger, and just like Cirie, I was not an outdoorsy type of girl, and I can scale a fish now, I'm great with fire now. It's just come natural now to me. Like, if you want to do something, get up and do it and make it happen, 'cause it's... It can happen. It's easy. >> Terry, since nobody seems to know for sure whether you have the idol or not, it could be you tonight. >> Uh, if it is, I've proved to myself that I-I could still hang it out there with the... with the best of the competition, and the other thing I've realized that I'm human, and I'm going to make mistakes. But damn it, I'm going to learn from them, and I'm going to be more patient with my kids, my wife and-and friends and family, and, uh, I'm going to take that to heart and take it back home with me, try to practice that. >> Okay. Let's get to the vote. Aras, you have immunity. Keeping it? >> Yeah. >> Aras is the only person you cannot vote for, hidden immunity idol or not. Everybody else is fair game. It is time to vote. Danielle, you're up. >> I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote, Danielle. Cirie. One vote Danielle, one vote Cirie. Danielle. Two votes Danielle, one vote Cirie. One vote left. Cirie. We have a tie. Cirie with two votes, Danielle with two votes. Danielle, Cirie, if either of you have the hidden immunity idol, now is the time to play it. Neither of you have it? The idol will not come into play in this game. It no longer has any power, and we have a tie. Aras, Terry, you are safe. Danielle, Cirie, you're going to take part in a tie eaker challenge. Here's how it will work. It is a fire-making challenge. You've been out here 37 days. Making fire should be something you know how to do. You will have a fire-starter kit and a small fire pit. Your job is to a build fire tall enough to burn through a rope, raise the flag. First person to raise their flag stays in this game, moves onto day 37. Loser is out of the game and becomes the sixth member of our jury. All right, Danielle, take a spot. Cirie, spot next to her. You each have in your kit a magnesium flint, you have a knife, and you have all sorts of kindling and other ways to start a fire-- coconut husks, things like that. (Cirie exhales) On my go, you will begin. Here we go. Survivors ready? (Cirie exhales loudly) Begin. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org >> Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> Next time on Survivor. Nobody with a flame yet. Danielle and Cirie battle it out to stay in the game, and with only three days left, everything's on the line. Fourteenth person voted out of Exile Island. Join us for the two-hour finale and find out who will be the sole survivor.
>> JEFF 36 days ago, 16 Americans set foot on a small remote island off the coast of Panama... Welcome to Survivor. In a new social experiment, they were split into four tribes: the younger men, the younger women, the older men and the older women. And in a new twist, this isolated isle would become a looming force in the strategy of the game. This is Exile Island. Throughout this game, tribe members will be banished to this island. Go! In the first challenge, the young women finish last and chose Misty to stay behind on Exile Island... >> I'm here. >> ...and a secret was revealed. Hidden on this island is an immunity idol. Along the way, you'll be given clues as to the whereabouts of that idol. >> Okay, here we go kids. >> The two older tribes fared well. >> That's the best stinking fire I've seen in a long time. >> The two younger tribes floundered. >> That's a shelter right there, gentleman. >> That is the sorriest shelter I think we could have possibly come up with. >> Misty failed to find the hidden idol on Exile Island and rejoined her tribe... Young women doing a good job. ...to play for immunity. (cheering) Older women going to Tribal Council! Cirie immediately undertook a bold plan to get the most productive of the older women ousted. >> I'm gonna try to get rid of the lumberjack lady. First person voted out of Exile Island... The plan worked and Tina was the first to be voted out. The tribe has spoken. From the beginning, the experience of survival took its toll. >> I smoked three packs of cigarettes a day for 20 years, and I haven't had a cigarette in, like, 31 hours. I don't know why I did this to myself. >> Green sweats. >> In a schoolyard pick... >> Cool guy. ...that ought new hope. >> The cool guy. >> ...the four tribes became two: La Mina and Casaya. >> Terry makes an unbelievable catch! La Mina enjoyed an early winning streak. La Mina wins immunity! Casaya, Tribal Council tonight. It's gonna cost you a member. Before Casaya went to Tribal Council, Shane wanted to quit. >> I'm gonna quit. I have to quit. >> But Aras managed to change his mind. >> Just try it, okay? >> All right. >> With Shane back in the fold... >> You guys, now we have to talk about who we're gonna vote off. I just want to do this with honesty and, like, openness. >> ...it became clear that Melinda and Cirie were doomed. >> I don't care which one of you goes. Like, whoever doesn't go now is going next. >> Melinda went first... Melinda, the tribe has spoken. ...and Cirie's situation seemed hopeless. >> I'm walking on egg shells as it is. I was told I'd be the next to go. You were right. >> But her social skills and patience would take her far as she sat back and watched Casaya fall apart. >> Why are you so sensitive?! >> Shane was usually the catalyst for drama at Casaya. >> Everybody here won't tell you because they're afraid to tell you the truth! I want one! This one! I just want mine! >> It's just constant, constant drama. I love it, love it, love it, yes! >> Right there! >> But the dysfunctional Casaya enjoyed an impressive five-challenge winning streak. Casaya wins immunity! And La Mina lost Misty and Ruth Marie. Casaya sent Terry to Exile Island, and he quickly turned banishment into a position of power. >> This talisman can be used to keep you safe from the vote at Tribal Council. All right! >> His possession of the idol-- or the suspicion that he might have it-- would affect the nature of the game up to the very end. Terry, Danielle diving in. And Terry's luck continued when La Mina managed to win the next immunity challenge. La Mina wins immunity! Bruce was in serious danger of being chopped from Casaya, but Danielle made a power play. >> Courtney, why don't we switch this game up right now? I wanted Bruce to stay and I wanted Bobby to go. >> Bruce was saved and Bobby took the fall. The tribe has spoken. >> That's it. That's it. >> Casaya was able to make a comeback. Casaya wins immunity! And at Tribal Council, Dan was voted out. The tribe has spoken. On day 16, Casaya had the advantage in numbers; six to La Mina's four. >> There they are. >> And when the Casaya six saw La Mina approaching for the merge... >> Hey, come here quickly. >> ...they circled up against them. >> We stay together, we'll get to the top six. One, two, three, win. Come on in. >> Terry did his best to get someone from Casaya to flop. >> You might be on the chopping block. Come over and we will go to the final five. Our group of four would like to offer you more time of worry- free life around here. >> But nobody from Casaya would budge... >> It was almost laughable. I don't think he's in a position to offer me anything. >> ...so his only option was individual immunity. Terry wins the first individual immunity. And in an amazing feat, Terry the fighter pilot continued to dominate at the individual challenges. With Terry perpetually safe from the vote and with the hidden immunity idol in his back pocket, the other former La Mina tribe mates were picked off one by one. Nick. Austin. Sally. Terry was the last La Mina member standing. On day 25, a prickly reward challenge revealed what the tribe really thought of each other. Who is the most annoying person out here? Everybody says Courtney. >> God! >> But Courtney's unpopularity made her a popular candidate for the final two. >> If I need your vote, would you trust me and not eak my back? >> You know, I want to be on your back side and I would like you to be on mine. >> Okay. She is a dream to take to the final two. Anyone could win against her. (groans) >> On day 25, Bruce's internal pain became a medical emergency. >> Bruce? You allergic to anything? (gasps) >> He was evacuated and forced to leave the game. Terry continued to hang on with all his might. (gasps) Terry wins his fourth straight immunity. >> I am totally motivated to kick their butts at everything that comes down the road. I'm gonna have to take you to the bank the whole time. >> If you do that, man, hats' off. >> And he stayed true to his word. Terry wins immunity for the fifth straight time! The day of reckoning finally came when the former Casayas were forced to turn on one of their own, and Shane targeted Danielle. >> We're gonna vote off Danielle. >> But then there's still Courtney. It'll be me, you and Courtney. >> Right. >> Shane's plan made Cirie suspicious. >> If he can take Courtney to the final two, he just may win a million dollars. So Courtney's going. >> And at Tribal Council, Cirie's scheme took Courtney out of the equation. Courtney, the tribe has spoken. With the former Casaya bond finally oken, it became every man for himself. Terry and Shane banded together in another attempt to oust Danielle. >> She's depressed because she knows she's next. >> And they were confident they would be successful. >> I feel like, at this point, I could beat anybody. >> But at Tribal Council... The 12th person voted out of Exile Island. Shane was completely blindsided by Cirie, Aras and Danielle. >> Oh, my God, I'm gonna have a chocolate ice cream bar in about one, I mean, one minute! >> Shane, the tribe has spoken. ...leaving Aras, Danielle, Terry and Cirie as the final four. Go! At the next reward challenge, the rivalry between Terry and Aras got physical. Whoa! Easy, guys! Two battering rams! And when Aras won the reward... Aras wins reward! >> Yes! >> ...things got personal. >> The first time out we we were only allowed one pass. >> Yes. >> Terry, every time somebody else wins, are you gonna say you got hosed? >> Keep it up. Just keep it up. >> For the reward, Aras chose Cirie to join him on a luxury yacht. >> Hopefully both of us making final three. >> Final two. What, are you joking? >> Yeah, final two. >> Danielle and Terry were both sent to Exile Island where they made their own pact to the final two. >> I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to win the million dollars. It's the right time to align myself with Terry. >> At the immunity challenge... Go! ...all four fought hard to piece together a win, but Aras came away victorious. Aras wins immunity! First time somebody other than Terry is wearing individual immunity. With Aras immune and Terry in possession of the hidden idol, Danielle and Cirie knew it could be a tricky Tribal Council. >> Probably Aras and Cirie are gonna vote me, and then me and Terry would vote Cirie. So I think me and you are going up against something tonight? >> Probably fire. >> You know the technique, right? >> With the possibility of a tie vote looming, Terry and Aras coach their allies in fire-making. >> Just take the flint and you... >> Meanwhile, Danielle still pushed Terry to give her his hidden immunity idol. >> If I have two and she has two, I think it doesn't matter if you have the idol. >> It's a huge gamble. >> I'm gonna work him until we go to Tribal Council to try to give me that hidden immunity idol. >> This was Terry's last chance to play the hidden immunity idol... We have a tie: Cirie with two votes, Danielle with two votes. ...but he kept it for himself. Cirie and Danielle prepared for a trial by fire. Here we go. Survivors ready? Now only four remain: Cirie, Aras, Danielle and Terry. Begin. Tonight, the tie eaker between Cirie and Danielle will be decided, and the final three will compete in the last immunity challenge. Two will go on to face the jury, one will outlast all the rest and become the sole Survivor. Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION (theme music plays) >> Okay, Danielle, Cirie, you're going to take part in a tie- eaker challenge. You each have in your kit, a magnesium flint, you have a knife, and you have all sorts of kindling and other ways to start a fire-- coconut husks, things like that. On my go, you will begin. First person to burn through that rope and raise the flag stays in this game. Here we go. Survivors ready? Begin. Both Danielle and Cirie scraping magnesium. Both are using coconut husks. Cirie has a flame. Can she keep it going? Danielle not giving up. Danielle not panicking. Cirie has a healthy flame all of a sudden. Trying to keep it going before it burns out. Danielle now has flame, but it goes out. You have to build a fire with a flame high enough to burn through that rope. Just putting more coconut husk on it may not be enough. Now it's Danielle who has flame. Danielle has a big flame. Is it enough to burn through the rope? Danielle blowing on it to keep it going. Cirie paying attention to Danielle. Should be working on her fire. Danielle's fire is out. Cirie has flame again. Can she figure out how to build it? Danielle has fire, Cirie has fire. Somebody is going to have to get a fire burning long enough to burn through that rope. Cirie's is out again. Danielle's is still going. Danielle has a nice little fire going. She's protecting it, going to let it grow, using little pieces. Cirie's got to get flame again. Cirie now has a flame. Danielle putting a bigger stick on, getting closer now to the rope, building a bigger fire. Cirie nurturing a very small flame. Can she figure this out? >> Burn. >> Cirie's getting a bigger flame. It may not be enough. Danielle's flame has been sitting on that rope. The rope's on fire. Cirie, you've got to hurry. Danielle wins the challenge. Danielle stays in the game. Cirie becomes the sixth member of our jury. >> (sniffling) >> Cirie, you need to ing me your torch. Cirie? >> Yep. >> The tribe has spoken. >> All righty. >> It's time for you to go. >> Bye, Cirie. >> Well, you have made it to the final three. Over the next three days, we will have two challenges, two Tribal Councils, one winner. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night. >> Well, my time here is up. I lasted far beyond my highest expectations. I hope that my family is proud. Sorry, guys, I let you down. I couldn't get the fire going. But I feel like I can still hold my head up high. So I'm extremely proud to be out on day 36. >> I was determined to not go home tonight at Tribal Council. >> Whoa! >> I was just so happy that I got it together and I got my fire going. And I won, and I'm ecstatic right now. I'm so happy. >> Feed it a little bit of straw. I'm going to get more straw. I've been extremely happy since Tribal Council, period, when Danielle won. Danielle and I have a pact so that if either one of us wins, we'll take the other one to the final. So we have a 66 chance of getting to the final. So we're totally stoked about that, and we're happy. Danielle and I are going to take it to Aras, and we're going to go to the final. >> There you go, it's got Shane hair. This idol is worth about 25 cents right now, I think, in a pawn shop or something. It's not worth very much. But yeah, but that's it for the hidden immunity idol. It's no longer a part of this game, and I got enough wins under my belt where I didn't have to use it. He had some jingly stuff on it, but I didn't think I could hide it very well. >> Yeah. >> I flattened it out right away, and I kept it in my pants pocket all the time. >> You didn't ing that last night? >> Oh, yeah. >> You did ing it? >> It was in my shorts. >> Oh. >> It's not that bad-looking of a guy. >> I thought it was, like, a rabbit's foot. >> Mm-hmm. >> Aras and I were sitting by the fire, and Terry just kind of took the hidden immunity idol and waved it in Aras' face, and I think Terry did that just to... another like strike at Aras, you know, like ha-ha, I had the hidden immunity idol. Ha-ha, I'm the bigger man. >> Aw, suck. Look at that, almost all the way through. >> Aras and Terry's relationship is based on rivalry. It's just that macho thing. I'm definitely caught in the middle between, you know, these two guys that have this testosterone match every day-- who can catch the biggest fish, the most fish. Who can beat who? Who's better? Who's the tough guy? They just... they go back and forth all the time. >> Dude! >> Catch one? >> Five small ones. One kind of medium and four small. >> The bad news is that I caught freaking huge ones. >> No! All right! >> Oh, beautiful! >> Oh, man! >> Wait, wait, wait. >> Giving us the silent treatment! Oh, very nice. >> Good job, Aras! >> That rocks, man! Fish feast. Look at the teeth on that parrot fish. >> Terry and Aras, deep down inside, we all know that they don't like each other. >> Eyeball socket. >> The fact that Aras beat out Terry in the past two challenges, Terry's ready for revenge. I can see it. So Aras better give him a run for his money at the immunity challenge, or else Aras will be going home. >> Come in, guys. How's it going, guys? >> Awesome. >> Hey, Jeff. >> You guys ready to get to today's challenge? >> Yeah. >> All right, well, I know you were probably expecting an immunity challenge, but instead, today you are playing for reward. For today's challenge, you will race to the top of a three-story climbing wall, using four individually shaped pegs to help you get up there. Here's how it will work: on my go, you'll make your way through a table maze. When you get to the end of the maze, you'll release a bag with your first two pegs. You'll then move to a spinning wheel. Read the clues, and like a combination lock spin the wheel, clockwise and counterclockwise, clockwise again until you find the one bag that contains your final two pegs. You will use the pegs to help you get to the top of the wall. Once you reach the top, place each of the four pegs in their individual finish slots. That will raise the flag. First person to raise their flag wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Today's reward is designed specifically to give the winner a huge advantage in tomorrow's final immunity challenge. Immediately following this challenge, the winner will sit down and enjoy a power meal-- chicken east, vegetables, fruit, everything your body is craving right now. In addition, you will take back to camp with you an individual cot, a pillow and a blanket to help you get a get good night's sleep. Could mean the difference between winning this game and not. Worth playing for? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> We'll draw for spots, we'll get started. This way. Here we go. For reward, survivors ready? Go! Make your way through the maze. Once you get to the end, you'll release the first two pegs. Aras moving quickly through the maze. >> What the hell... >> Danielle struggling. >> Oh, man! >> Terry reaches a dead end. Aras drops his first set of pegs. He's untying them. Danielle still struggling. Terry back on track. Terry's dropped his first bag. Aras moving on to the spinning wheel. You've got to read the clues. Spin the wheel in the right direction, and find the one bag that contains your final two pegs. Terry at the spinning wheel. Danielle drops her first bag. Aras and Terry both working on the bags. Danielle now in it. Everybody in this challenge. Aras thinks he has his second bag. Terry found his second set of pegs. He's got to get them out of the bag. Aras moving on to the wall first. Danielle has her second bag. Aras at the wall. He's got all four pegs, starting up. Got to get to the top with all four. Danielle, first pegs are not right. They'll be color-coded. Go back to the start; read the directions again. Terry has all four pegs. He's on the wall. It's Aras and Terry. Aras, working the walls. Got a good strategy. Terry, sliding down. Nice move. Aras, still with a big lead. Terry, not giving up. Aras, sliding down. His shirt saves him. Aras, hanging from his shirt. Terry, trying to make up some ground. Terry, digging in. Terry and Aras, neck and neck. Aras, to the top. He's got three pegs; he needs his last one. Aras frees his last peg. Aras, to the top. Terry, right behind him, to the top. Got to get 'em in. Four slots, got to get all four in and drop your flag. It's Aras. Terry, making up ground. Terry comes from behind to win reward. >> You are the ultimate competitor, man, ultimate. I'm telling you, you work me. >> Wow. Incredible. >> Good job, guys. Good job. >> Aras, Terry, another great challenge between you two guys. Terry came out on top. The good news is because the hidden immunity idol is no longer in play, nobody going to Exile Island. Aras, Danielle, grab your stuff. Head back to camp. >> Congrats. >> Terry, you got some eating to do. Get your stuff, go. >> Terry's probably eating something a little bit nicer, but, uh, you know what? This is food, and, uh, we've been luck today; we've eaten a lot. This is going to be our seventh fish, three of them, pretty big-size fish. So don't get me wrong, Terry's grubbing and he's happy about it, and that's great for Terry, but this is great for Aras and Danielle right now too. >> D, one of us has to win tomorrow, if one of us wants to win a million dollars. >> Tomorrow's gonna be like a willpower one, and I'm not giving up, so don't worry. >> I'm not worried about you. I know you're tough as nails, D. >> I will not give up. >> How was it? >> You know what? It was, uh, it was good. It wasn't like a crap-load of food, but it was all good. >> What'd you get? >> Uh, a whole bunch of steamed vegetables, like, uh, cauliflower, carrots, string beans, spinach, and then two chicken easts, a big thing of rice and two pieces of multigrain ead, like, about 32 ounces of water and then about a 16-ounce protein drink. That was it. Oh, and I had a banana, that was it. >> Oh, yum. >> But, um... that was it. >> Thank you. >> There's absolutely an advantage to having a meal the day before the biggest immunity challenge of the game. The thing of it is, though, is it can also be a psychological disadvantage. (thunder crashes) Now the onus to win is really on you. I mean, everybody expects you to win now-- you're super-dad and you've got all this food in your body, that kind of puts the pressure on a little bit for Terry. >> I hope I have it, I hope I'm here for two nights. >> I think you'll have to fight Danielle for that. >> I don't think Terry's apparent dominance has a psychological effect on me, personally. Everybody and their mother expects Terry to win this next immunity challenge. So I go out there, I give it my best, I expect me to win. And if I don't win, well, hey, I gave it my best. If I do win, beautiful. >> A boat will soon arrive to take you to Exile Island for the final time. Collect the torches of those who came before you, place them on the skull, raise the Exile flag and set the skull ablaze as a tribute to your fallen comrades. Prepare yourself for the final immunity challenge, which will give one of you the power to decide who will be the last to join the jury and who will face the jury. It's funny the last three of us that are still here, the final three, all have spent the most days on Exile Island, so, you know, burning down the skull will be symbolic like, it's over, it's done. >> Tina, you were the first one out. >> For the very short time that I was there, I would've done nothing differently. I don't want anyone to have any pity upon me for this experience. My son died five months ago. It was the biggest challenge of my life, and it will remain the largest challenge for the rest of my life. >> Melinda. >> I'm taking away from the experience, I guess, a little bit more knowing who I am. I learned that I'm a lot tougher, actually, than I even thought I was. I mean, it's awful out here. >> Beautiful blue eyes. >> Misty, first person here on Exile Island. >> It definitely threw me for a loop at the very beginning. Being stuck on Exile Island put me in a vulnerable position, but mostly, it was a positive experience all around. I learned a lot about myself, and I know that from now on, whether in life or a game, I'm never going to go into anything being anyone other than myself. >> Certainly, this experience will change my perspective. I'm coming away, you know, more grateful, more humble than I even was coming here. And to be lucky enough to be involved in something like this is, um, it's just a blessing. >> Bob Dog. >> It was great having Bob Dog at camp, and Bob Dog in the challenges. >> The thing that I think will shock people the most is exactly how beat down you are when show up each day for those challenges. Knowing exactly how debilitated we were, I mean, it was tough, but, like I'm a tough dude, I expect to be able to thrive in circumstances like this. I just came out here to, you know, put the smack-down on a few fools and maybe take a shot at a million, and it didn't work out. >> Dan the man. >> Dan was a confidante. He was a survivor. He taught us stuff around camp. The man had it all, definitely had the right stuff. >> I expected this to be interesting and difficult, and my biggest surprise was that it was not only interesting and difficult, but it was fun. It was fun! This game was energizing spiritually. It was very hard physically. But, uh, it's a joyous experience. >> Nick was one of the most mature, well-spoken and well-mannered 24-year-old kids I have ever met. >> The first 12 days were the most miserable days, perhaps in my life, but, uh, without question, this was the hardest but yet one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. >> Austin. >> This is a tough game. It really is. I had no idea coming out here how hard it was going to be. All I know is that it is such an honor to be able to play the game of Survivor, and that honor is just magnified by having a chance to sit on the jury and have a say in who walks away with a million bucks. >> Survivor Sal. >> It was fun having Sally around camp. She's a real sweetheart, a real genuine girl. >> My Survivor experience was everything I could've imagined or hoped, and then to say, I made it to the final eight was thrilling. >> Bruce, sensei. >> Such a kindhearted man. >> I came to this, probably, one of the smallest and the oldest person, but I've always been challenged that way as either the smallest, weakest, last-picked all the time, and so I just relish that kind of challenge to prove people wrong. The hardest part was getting sick and being sick for days. And that was probably the most excruciating pain in my life, but that made me think a lot and I felt, uh, coming off the island, I was a much stronger person. >> Courtney. >> It's been a rollercoaster of a ride for me. My life is about growth, it's about experience, and it's about living your dreams, and this is my current dream, and I lived it, and I did the best that I could. I stayed the real me throughout it all. You know what? I'm not going to be handed a million dollars, but I'm going to make it on my own. >> Shane. Wow. Crazy, ugly, beautiful... insane, somebody who I will always, always hold in my heart. >> I feel completely at peace with the way I played the game. And there are so many things that I have learned about me, about what I'm capable of, about what I can do, which is anything. And that's only going to make me a stronger and more effective person to the planet. And I'm going to remember this experience forever. >> Cirie was the mom around camp. I mean, she was just amazing. >> I felt like this was a life-changing experience for me, just in the fact that I won't be as fearful of the unknown. Because that's what kind of kept me on the couch. Hopefully, it won't be as big a part of my life anymore, being that I've overcome a lot of things that I would have never thought I could have done before. (fire crackling) >> So how did this morning go, Aras? >> This morning was nice. We got to pay our respects to the 13 other members, and I think most important for all of us, is the burning of the skull, knowing that none of us ever have to spend another night there. >> All right, you guys ready to get to your final immunity challenge? >> Yeah. >> First things first: Aras, give it up. For the last time, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's final immunity challenge, you must balance on a series of floating platforms. We will start on the largest of the four platforms. Every 15 minutes you'll move to the next smallest platform. As the platform gets smaller, it will get tougher to keep your balance. If we make it to the last platform, there will be no time limit. We will go until there's only one person left. Here are the rules: only your feet can touch the platform. If your hands or your bottom touch the platform, you're out. If you fall off, you're out. At the end of every 15 minutes that round will be over, you'll crawl over to the next platform, you'll have one minute to regain your balance, we'll begin again. Last person left standing, wins immunity, guaranteed a spot in the final two and decides who sits next to them at that final Tribal Council. Clear? >> Yeah. >> All right, we'll get started. Everybody step onto your first platform and get your balance. This challenge has begun. 15 minutes on this first platform. How you feeling, Terry? Doing all right, Danielle? Aras? Nobody wants to talk. I understand. This challenge requires intense concentration. Lose your focus for just a moment, you'll be in the water. We're now at the ten minute mark. Five more minutes on this platform, we move to the next one. Terry's looking very strong. Aras has not moved. Danielle's very steady. >> There's tons of fish on the bottom. Should have had a drop line with us. >> You want to put your drop line in here? >> Yeah, I see some huge fish. >> Even in the middle of a challenge, Danielle thinking about food. >> (laughs) >> 15 seconds left in this round. Five, four, three, two, one. Crawl onto your next platform. Find a new balance point. You have one minute. This will be a little more difficult, less room. You'll feel the effects of the water more. Everybody's up. Challenge is back on. You're eight minutes in, over halfway. Aras wobbling just a bit, but recovering. Danielle very steady. Terry very steady. 15 seconds left in this round. Three, two, one. Crawl to your third platform. This is where you will begin to notice a significant increase in difficulty. You have one minute to get into a standing position. 45 seconds left. Nobody panicking. Everybody taking their time. That's it, Aras. Aras is up. That's it, Terry. Fight to find it. Aras holding steady. Terry still struggling. You've got 30 seconds, Terry. 20 second left to get those hands up. Danielle is up. Aras is up. Terry, you need to get up in 15 seconds. 14, 13.,, This is it, Terry. Ten seconds. Aras and Danielle are up. Terry's having trouble getting up. Four, three, put your hands up, Terry. You've got to do it. Terry is up. At the last second, he found balance. Everybody is up. The challenge is back on. Terry cannot hang on. The first person out of this challenge. It's down to Aras and Danielle for final immunity. Aras is out of the challenge, Danielle wins immunity. Danielle going to the final two. Danielle, come on over. The first one, but it couldn't come at a better time, huh? You are safe at tonight's vote. You're guaranteed a spot in the final two. And at Tribal Council tonight, you will decide whether it is Terry or Aras that sits next to you at that final Tribal Council. Big decision. You have the opportunity to figure it out. Get your stuff. Bring the boat in. >> God never makes it easy for me. The one immunity challenge I win is a last one, and it's a huge decision that I have to make tonight-- who do I want to take with me to the final two, either Aras or Terry? So, I mean, it was so gratifying to win the last immunity challenge, but at the same time, my ain started thinking right away. I knew I had a decision to make tonight that could cost me or earn me a million dollars. It's difficult because I told Terry when I was on Exile Island with him that if either of us won, we would take each other, but then it's like, during the challenge, Aras, you know, I gave him, like, a head nod, and so he jumped off, thinking that I would take him to the finals. And that doesn't mean anything right now, because, at this point, there's a million dollars at stake, and I'm not going to take somebody because I made a promise to them. I'm going to take someone who I think I have a better chance of beating. >> The big question. >> Do you feel that it's fair for me to take someone that I think can beat me? >> Um, I-I... >> As someone in my position right now, because I didn't expect to be in this position, to be honest with you. >> Right, right. Um, had I won today, I would have already told you that you were going to the finals with me. You want to put this down? >> Yeah. I know, I'm just trying to... I did not expect to be in this position, and if you had given me the hidden immunity idol, I would have 100 took you. >> Right, right. >> Without any question, it wouldn't be an issue right now. I'm not saying I'm not taking you, 'cause I haven't... >> Right. >> I'm just trying to go over everything in my head and go over... you know, and if you were in my shoes, you would do the same thing. You want to... >> Right, right. >> You would want to ing someone... and it's a toss-up. >> You haven't... >> It's not like one of you is better to ing than the other. So I'm just, like, freaking out because I won't... I don't... I don't know. >> Danielle is finding herself very confused right now, and, oh, God, I hope she's not confused when it comes to the point of choos... taking me to the finals. If I were a betting man, I would choose me only because of the Casaya loyalty, and it would be an easy decision. >> But by me taking you, they're gonna look at it as I'm already being disloyal to them 'cause I... >> No, no, because then it just makes the picture more black and white. Oh, guys, yeah, I'm here. Thanks, you know? I kinda won a bunch of challenges and then was the nail in your side, you know? Can I please have your vote? Uh-uh, I don't think that's happening. And I know it's gonna be hard. >> I just hope you will respect whatever decision I make. I honestly haven't made a decision and I don't know what I'm gonna do. >> I have to. I have to. I'm not gonna sit there and throw daggers at you with my eyes from the jury, okay? >> Please. >> And it's been fun. >> It has been fun. And this sucks. I can't deal with this decision. I hate... I'm so indecisive as it is because I'm a Gemini. >> Okay, I think I'm gonna jump in the water. I think the tide was still going out. >> Yeah, I think so, too. No doubt about it. When Terry and Danielle went to get water, I had my first bit of paranoia in this game, more than just a bit. I was, like, Man, what's going on? Are they talking about me? I mean, I know they're talking about me, but is she gonna get swayed? Is Terry gonna be able to sway her, bla-bla, bla? My mind starts racing. Like, I would just feel so burned if, like, you voted for Terry instead of me, and my dumbass jumped off the lily pad because you said Yeah, you know? >> I haven't... I'm just going over stuff in my head. This is a huge decision. >> I know. >> I wasn't expecting to win this today. Like, I wasn't expecting it to go my way. >> I think, honestly, I think you have ten times better chance against me than Terry, and that's not trying to be manipulative, but if you do vote Terry, then you lose me and Cirie anyways. >> All right. >> I thought we were golden once you said we are. >> We, we really, we pretty much are. >> Pretty much are? You can't, D, you can't do this to me. >> I need to go off by myself and just think about this. >> Either way, would you tell me either way so I don't go in like an idiot? >> Yes, yes, yes. >> And remember that you did give me your word when I was on the lily pad. >> I know, I know, I know. All right, I'll be back. >> All right. >> Listening to Aras' sales pitch was just mind-boggling. Aras is all about honesty and integrity, but, in the same sense, he's contradicting himself because he's basically threatening me. >> You better ing me, I swear to God. I will be shocked if you don't, let's just say that. >> All right. (groans) Part of Aras' sales pitch to me was that he would not vote for me if I took Terry, so I would lose his vote and Cirie's vote, which I think is completely messed up. Aras is very manipulative, so that's why I'm kinda hesitant to take him or even listen to what he says because I want the million dollars. I'm not gonna base my losing a million dollars to, Oh, told Aras I would take him. I'm gonna go with what I think. This is how I've played this game so far and I believe that's why I'm where I am right now. >> You know what? It's your decision to make. You won the thing today, so if you think I'll be better to take, do that. If you think Aras would be better to take, do that. >> Okay. >> Terry, regardless, man. It's been a pleasure. It's been a journey with you, man. Battle on. >> We'll now ing in the members of the jury: Austin, Sally... Bruce, Courtney... Shane and Cirie. Let's talk about the final immunity challenge. The two big dogs, Terry and Aras, don't come through, and Danielle, suddenly, you're sitting in the most enviable position in this game. How does it feel having that immunity necklace around you? >> It feels great and it was an honor to be able to win the most important challenge of the entire game, but the decision that I have to make tonight is one of the most difficult decisions I've probably, I will have to make ever in my life. It's like a scary feeling 'cause I'm not sure which way I want to go, and my ain is about to explode out of my head. So I just wanted them both to understand and respect where I'm coming from and just don't hate me after this. >> Terry, you played this game as competitively as it can be played for 38 days. Are you able to respect the position that Danielle's in? >> That part of not winning the last immunity challenge, it's frustrating to have come through this with both the hidden immunity idol and the necklace most of the time. >> So you did have the hidden immunity idol? >> Oh yeah, oh, yeah. Had that the whole time. Uh, I can separate myself because I have to. It's a different part of the game than the competition side. It's a number-crunching thing. You know, I think it's in my better interest and her better interest to go with my side. But it's now a mental thing for her to go through, but you know, do I want to go home tonight? No stinking way. >> Aras, you come up to Danielle who you've been with in the same tribe and the same alliance for a long time. What do you say at this point? >> To be honest with you, I thought I was golden. And obviously, it's a big decision for D, I understand that, and she's starting to worry, and then I begin to get a little paranoid, so I just told her, this is, like, basically the situation, it's in both of our best interests to be in the final two together. We have the best shot, and that's kinda how I threw it out there. >> Danielle, as you think about this more and more, does it get more and more complicated? >> Yeah, it is. I just feel like crying. Like, right after you put the necklace around my neck, I just started thinking about it and I haven't stopped since... I'm still thinking about it. I mean, I'm just... Ah! I don't know. >> Okay, let's get to the vote. Danielle has immunity. You cannot vote for her, so Aras, you can only vote for Terry, Terry can only vote for Aras. Your votes cancel each other out. Danielle will be the only person to vote. In doing so, you will vote the 14th person out of this game and you will also decide who's gonna sit next to you at the final Tribal Council. It is time to vote. Danielle, you're up. I'll go get the vote. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the vote. The 14th person voted out of Exile Island... Terry. You need to ing me your torch. >> Thank you. >> Wow. >> Terry, the tribe has spoken. >> Thanks for the journey, you guys. >> Danielle, Aras, congratulations. You've made it as far as you can go in this game. The power now shifts to the jury and the decision they will ultimately make. You two have one more night in Panama. Enjoy it. See you tomorrow for final Tribal Council. Grab your torches. Back to camp. Good night. >> The biggest mistake I made was not keeping the game in my own hands and then relying on somebody else to take care of it for me. That's what got me. But, uh, it was not bad for a 46-year-old guy. And I hope I made my friends and family proud, and Terry Dietz is not a perfect guy, and there's always room for better change. >> Oh, my God. Final two. D, I'm so happy! We're the two youngest people in the game, I think. >> I know. >> It was a tense, tense Tribal Council for me, and it made getting into the final two that much sweeter for me. I mean, I am ecstatic right now. I'm so happy. Oh, my God, we did it, girl. >> We did it. Do you think they were shocked that I picked Terry, or do you think they knew that? >> I think they knew that. >> Yeah. >> Oh, come here. Regardless of the results, I played this game the full 39 days, I played it with integrity and I played it with a lot of intensity, and more importantly than anything else, I really enjoyed myself out here. Oh, my gosh. >> I can't believe it. >> I'm so glad it's me and you, too. >> I know. It's great. >> Just chilling tonight. >> Who would've thought, huh? >> The reason why I decided to take Aras is because Aras is a part of the former Casaya Tribe. >> Whoa, everything must burn. For me at the end, to go ahead and pick Terry over Aras, I think would've been a slap in everybody's face. So, my gut choice was Aras. That's just what it was and I went with it. That's what I've been doing this entire game, and I think that's why I've gotten this far. I can't believe this is the last night. >> The last night. Today would've been the hardest day to go home, I think, 'cause you're so close. >> Yeah, yeah. My job isn't done yet. I'm still not satisfied. I'm in sales, so hopefully, I can, uh, do some persuading to the jury and hope for the best. Because I want that million dollars, I don't want to settle for anything less than first place. >> Ah... >> Look at that. >> Oh, my God. >> Get out of Dodge. >> Yay! Thank you, Lord! >> Congratulations. You've outwitted, outlasted and outplayed 14 others. Now there are seven who hold your fate in their hands. So relax and enjoy your final day on the island, because tonight you will be held accountable and one of you will be named the sole survivor. >> Oh! I'm so happy. >> We need to cook the eggs. >> Yeah, we do. >> To our surprise, there was milk, orange juice, champagne, pancake mix, eggs. >> You want to have a glass of orange juice right now or do you want to have a mimosa? >> Let's have a mimosa right now. >> All right. >> Everything that we were craving was just right there, at tree mail. >> Thank you for this wonderful food! >> Feels great. I need some fat in my body right now. >> Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm. >> Mmm! >> This is so bomb. >> We're going to go for a walk now and enjoy some champagne and put everything into perspective our last day here. You know, leave a game that sometimes didn't feel so civil in a very civil manner. >> Oh! (glass shatters) (groans) >> Oh, that's nasty. I've been out on those rocks maybe a hundred times. I'm not really sure exactly how I went down, but I knew right away something was wrong. I tried to get up, I was kind of lightheaded. I thought I was going to faint. >> 39 days and Aras does this on the last day. >> I was a little nervous when Aras was saying he felt faint, you know, I was getting a little nervous, 'cause I saw all the blood. >> The thought of seeing blood scares me and to actually see it gushing out like it did, freaked me out, absolutely. So it looks like he's going to have to get some stitches. It's pretty bad. >> ...I've seen better days. >> I got a cut in my back. There was a shard, I had to pull it out. It was pretty deep in there. >> Drug him up. >> Are you just going to numb the whole hand? >> No, just around where the lacerations are, mate. Get a 23-gauge. This is going to be a bit of a sting, as you know. >> Burning. >> Uh! I was trying to watch them stick the needle in. I was just imagining it being myself, and it just looked so painful. >> Had to keep it interesting on day 39, you know. >> Last day. >> He ended up getting three stitches on one side of his finger, four stitches on the palm of his hand, and then another stitch on his back. >> You don't think I'll feel anything tonight? >> So, I mean, he got stitched up pretty nice. >> I got my butt kicked out here by the elements. I got my butt kicked by Terry Deitz a lot of the time. I got my butt kicked by my own shortsightedness-- falling down on the rocks. Despite the fact that I made it 39 days, I feel like my ego has been crushed. I feel so stupid for falling. >> It's so funny, day 39 this happens. I just feel terrible. >> Don't feel like that. It was an accident. >> I wanted to, like, go out... cool thing and then I go out. >> This day was definitely your day. >> My day to be a... I kind of came in as a buffoon and I kind of went out as a buffoon, and in between I did some pretty cool things. That's life. I mean, you fall, you get back up and you try again. Sometimes you need to get stitched up before you can try again. Falling down and hurting myself today reminded me just how human I am, and reminded me just how much of a game this is. What that is is saying, Look, Aras, you don't have to be a superman, you don't have to be a superhero and you'll be okay. And so, with that perspective, coming into Tribal Council, maybe I'll be able to connect with people at a deeper level. That's the hope. >> I can't really say there's one thing that I've learned about myself that I didn't know coming into this. It just drew a clearer picture for me. It let me know I'm strong, you know, I'm a strong, independent woman, and I knew I could get through it, and I did it. I'm so proud of myself, I really am. I just hope people dig deep tonight in the jury. I hope they pick the right person, being me. >> You all packed up? >> Yeah. It's like weird. >> It is weird, isn't it? This is the last day. Come here, stand up, give me a hug. Oh, whatever happens tonight, D, I'm so happy I got to share this with you. This has been an amazing ride. And hopefully, there will be an amazing reward at the end of it. But I'm just so grateful that I got the time out here that I got. I'll never forget the moments that I spent out here, and the people that I spent the moments with. >> I'll now ing in the members of the jury. Austin, Sally... Bruce, Courtney, Shane, Cirie, and Terry, voted out at the last Tribal Council. Welcome to your final Tribal Council. Before we get to the proceedings tonight, Aras, you're bandaged up, what happened? >> Danielle and I were walking out to the rocks to like spend one last moment together. And these rocks I must've been on 50 times, you know, throughout this game, and I just slipped, and I split my palm and my pinky, and the medical team came in and stitched me up all over the place. But I'm all right now. >> Well, the good news is you won't be going back to that beach anymore. Congratulations to you both because you have done what 14 other people weren't able to do in this game-- make it to the final two. But the power tonight shifts away from you two, over to the jury. Seven people that you two either directly or indirectly had a hand in voting out of this game now hold your fate in their hands. Tonight, they will decide who they think is most deserving of the title of sole survivor and the million-dollar check that goes along with it. Here's how it's going to work. You'll each get a chance to make an opening statement, this is an opportunity to make your case about why you deserve to win this game. Then the jury will get the first chance to address you with a comment or a question. Then you'll get a chance for a final, closing comment. Make sense? >> Yeah. Opening statements-- Aras. >> Wow, guys. Um, first, I just want to say thank you. This has been an amazing experience for me. And I hope when you guys vote tonight, that you guys will look at the way that I played the game. You know, I worked my butt off at camp, I think. I worked hard in the challenges. And I really made an effort to get to know each one of you, not because I wanted your vote, but I really feel like I made an effort to get to know you guys and connect. I set out to play this game with honesty and integrity, and I feel like for the most part I did that. And I hope that you guys will see that. And honestly, whichever way you guys decide to vote, it's been an amazing experience. >> Danielle. >> Guys, just want to thank you for making this an unbelievable journey for me. I just came into this thinking that I just wanted to be myself. I wanted to do the best that I could do out here. I wanted to build relationships. I wanted to seek out who I could trust and who I could relate to. I mean, in a perfect world, everybody wants to play this game with integrity and honesty, but let's be realistic here. I mean, at some point in the game, you're going to have to deceive somebody, and you just have to make that decision whether it's the right time to do that. Anyways, to get down to the point-- this is going to be a difficult decision for you guys. I just hope you make the right decision. >> All right, jury, in a moment, you're going to get your first chance to address Danielle and Aras. I'll give you a minute to think about what you want to say. >> All right, jury, some of you have been waiting a long time for this: your first opportunity to address Danielle and Aras to get the information you need to make a million dollar vote. Let's get started. Sally, you're up first. >> Hey, guys. Congratulations to you both. You should feel very proud of where you're sitting. You guys worked hard, and I really haven't made my decision yet, so I do have a question that I'm going to ask. Of the six original Casaya members that you had such a strong connection with that I could not for the life of me figure out how to get into, of those six, who contributed the most to why you're sitting there? Danielle, you can go first. >> Cirie would be the one person that I would say is the reason why I'm sitting here. I just had a connection with her. I was at Exile six days out of the 39 days. And when you come back from Exile Island, you don't know what's been going on, so I always had Cirie to fill me in, and she did. And I always trusted her. >> Thank you. Aras. >> Ironically, I also would say Cirie. One, just as a friend. You need to have somebody you can just relate to, and then at other times it's strategic. And we helped each other. We took each other on a reward. It was a mutually beneficial relationship. But I think if I had to single out one person, Cirie would be the person. >> Congratulations again. Thank you so much. >> Bruce. >> Wow, I get to address you guys and congratulations. You guys battled like real samurai warriors to me, both of you. Now we have the responsibility of deciding who's going to get that million dollars. And what I want to know is, beyond the million dollars, if you were given that, what are you going to be doing with that responsibility? That's what I'd like to know. >> Aras. >> To be honest, Bruce, I don't know if I can inspire anybody else unless I change myself. And so for me, my focus at the age that I am is really, like, can I make myself a better person, and hopefully, through that, that will inspire other people. I don't know if that worked. >> Danielle. >> I would love to just share my experiences, maybe just give speeches to younger children and let them know you can really do anything you put your mind to. I mean, I never in a million years thought I'd be sitting in this seat right now, and I would just love to share my experiences with other people and encourage them to do whatever they want. >> Okay. >> Terry. >> Danielle, I'd first like to make a comment, that your part about deceiving somebody and having to do it sometime during the game is totally off-base. After 38 days, I never came close to deceiving anyone. Somewhere down the line, Danielle, I hope that your family and friends and the ringing in your ears doesn't say should have taken the navy guy. Okay, the out-play portion of Survivor, in my book, revolves around the competitions. So what I want you to do is rate yourself, one through ten, and why you gave yourself a one to ten rating. Aras. >> I give myself a nine. I busted my butt at every challenge. And I think everybody here did, basically. I don't know anybody who wasn't, like, pumped up for a challenge, and I have no regrets about any of the challenges, except maybe wishing I got a peg in somewhere quicker than somebody else got a peg in, or something like that. >> Danielle. >> I would give myself an eight and a half, nine, only because I would give myself higher if I didn't take the cheeseburger over that challenge. I'm still kicking myself in the ass for that. But every other challenge, I put in 110 on that field. I just gave it my all. So I'd say closer to a nine. >> That's it. Thank you. >> Thank you, Terry. Austin, you're up. >> First off, congratulations to the both of you. Aras, sorry to hear about your hand, man. What I want you guys to do, I want you to tell me one incident you think you made a very positive, good move, and then one incident that you did something that wasn't necessarily completely on the up-and-up, both of which helped you kind of navigate your way to where you are right now. >> We'll start with Danielle. >> I think the first move that I did that helped me get some control in this game was to persuade people not to vote Bruce off and to vote Bob Dog off. I just feel like that was the first move where I gained a little bit of control in the game. And the second move, obviously, was voting Courtney off, because Courtney was one of the closest people that I bonded with here. That was one of the hardest things I had to do. >> Okay, thanks. >> Aras. >> Probably the... the move that I'm proudest I made was telling Melinda she was going to be home. To be the second person voted off and to not know you're going home... Like Shane didn't know if he was going to stay or not, and Melinda's hopes got up. But I felt good that she at least knew she was going home, as opposed to coming in like super-stoked that she was going to make it three more days and get blindsided. Something that I wasn't so proud of: Shane, the vote off for Shane. I had to eak the alliance with Shane and I ended up saying things to Shane that weren't true, and I felt bad about that. But I do think I played this game with lots of integrity, and for the most part, every move I made, I felt really good about. >> Congratulations again to the both of you guys. >> Thanks, Austin. Courtney. >> Oh, boy! I forgot my guns. They've been dropped in the sea of forgiveness. Whew! Wow! I came in here wanting to play with integrity and to be of light and love and this shining being, and, wow, did I struggle with that. Because you certainly both stabbed me in the back with a knife that was very deep, and it took me about a week to remove it from my back it was so deep, especially from Danielle, who, which I had total trust in her. I never was going to vote you out. I don't know who made up that lie, but I'm holding no chip on my shoulder, because chips on your shoulder of regret and anger weigh you down. And I'm a bird, so I gotta fly. But more so than anything, I learned a ton about myself, and that points me to my question. For you and through this experience, more than the game and the money and the la-la-la-la, what did you really learn about yourself that you're going to take out of here and walk with every single day? >> Aras. >> I hope you don't think I stabbed you in the back, because we both put each other's name on the parchment, just... >> Well, you did, lie, but that's okay. >> And you know what, you know what, I take full responsibility for that, I did. And I and do not profess to say that I was completely honest out here. And so I guess for me, one thing I can say is my ego has been smashed. >> And that is going to strengthen your spiritual way. I mean, my ego was smashed into smithereens, and you need it, because it's going to be tough out there. >> That's right. >> Danielle. >> I didn't realize how mentally strong I can be and how mentally tough this whole adventure was for me. Like, there were so many times where I just was like, I can't do this. >> Well, in a sense, that is the beautiful gift, then, that this gave you, is that, in a sense, you've learned to be able to be still within yourself, just you, not having Dad take care of you or your boyfriend take care of you or anyone. >> Thank you for pointing that out for me. >> Well, you know, we're all here for each other in one way or another, and my life is to learn. And I'm glad we've all learned something, and we're all going to walk on a higher road. >> Thanks, Courtney. Cirie. >> Well, um, hard to follow Courtney. I would imagine that you both have realized each other's strengths and attributes. I would like both of you to tell me why my vote should be for the person sitting next to you. >> Danielle. >> Aras is unbelievable. Honorable, respectful, strong- minded, and a great morale for the team. Just a great person. >> Aras. >> When I hurt my hand today, Danielle was there, and she walked me up to the beach and just held a towel over my hand to put pressure on it, and just basically helped save my ass. On a night where she could just be worrying about what she's going to say to Tribal Council, she put all that aside. That for me was really touching, and to be in that situation, I felt like, wow, Danielle is a really spectacular person. >> I did tell the doctor to drug you, though. >> She did tell the doctor to drug me up, which hopefully they'll do later. >> I was kidding. >> Good luck, guys. >> Thanks, Cirie. Shane. >> Fun. First of all, congratulations. The last two, I'm disappointed that it's the both of you. I wish that Terry would have been there. I believe that Terry is the most deserving person of the 16 to win the million dollars. I'm going to tell you why I think you guys are both undeserving. Danielle, you were useless at camp. The only time you were ever motivated to do anything was when it was time to eat. And the outwit part, I don't know, because at the end of the day, I was with you for 33 days, and I don't know anything about you. I know you can't complete a coherent sentence, and you contradict yourself all the time. And that's a drag. Aras, we had an agreement on what was most important to both of us, my son and your yoga, which, at this point, is sort of laughable and contradictory. But we had an agreement, a bond, and when it came time to make the hard decision, I signed Danielle's name, and you signed mine. Danielle, you didn't lie to me. You played the game straight up. >> I didn't lie to you. >> You didn't lie to me at all. I have no beef with the way you played that part of the game. Aras, you lied, you cheated, and you wrecked me, personally. You know, you're young, you're a good kid. You're striving to do the right thing, but we cannot judge people based on their intentions. If I'm judged on my intentions, I'd be president of the planet. I have to be judged on my actions, and I've learned that through experience. You are oke, you are homeless and you freeload off your dad. So you don't know what it's like to be judged. And that is why I cannot vote for you. And I don't know who to vote for. And I can't abstain. So this is what we're going to do. We're going to have a little challenge. Number between one and, very fittingly, a million. I want you guys both to pick one. >> Aras. >> Four. >> Danielle. >> Ten. >> Thank you. >> Okay, the jury has had their say. Some good questions, some interesting comments, and a challenge. You'll have one last chance to make your case about why you deserve the million dollars and the title of sole survivor. I'm going to give you a minute to think about what you want to say. >> All right, Danielle and Aras, a lot's been said tonight. This is your last chance to make your case with the jury. Danielle, final comments. >> Um, like I said, I wanted to come into this game and be strong, be myself, form the right alliances, be observant of what was going on, never feel comfortable, and I feel like I did play this game with honesty and integrity and there did come a point when I did have to make a decision to deceive somebody that I did align with. Shane, I know you said that I was useless around camp. I feel like I grew a lot, skill-wise. Maybe you didn't see it, but personally, I felt like I grew. And the outwit part of this, I just feel like I aligned with the right people. I found a couple people that I really trusted, and I stuck with them. And I'm asking you guys to just look at the three components of this game-- the outwit, the outplay, and outlast-- and I think I did all three of them fairly well. I hope you guys vote for me. I have so much going on right now in my life, and this could really help me. So there you have it. >> Aras. >> Guys, again, I know this is a tough choice for all of you, every single one of you. I played this game the best way that I knew how. I worked my butt off at camp. I worked hard in the challenges. I worked hard at establishing real relationships with each and every one of you, and I mean that. Shane, I'm really sorry that you think that I was going to try to screw you first. I was under the assumption that you were trying to screw me. Those hugs that you and I would have at the fireside at night were real, and that was real. So if you're thinking about voting for someone who needs the money, I'm homeless and I freeload off my dad. Help me get out of that situation, other. But honestly, guys, we all played it the best way we know how. I hope you guys can look at the situation and say, Wow, Aras played it really well. if you guys say D played it better, that's cool, too. It was a real challenging experience, and my closing words are just thank you guys for being a part of that experience. >> Okay, tonight, jury, you are voting for a winner. You're writing down the name of the person you think most deserving of the million dollars. Aras, Danielle, you want to see your name on the parchment tonight. It is time to vote. Austin, you're up. >> Danielle, what a great pleasure to have shared this experience with you. I know you're going to hold this position with due honor and you'll touch a lot of people's lives. The best years of your life have yet to come. >> I am just so used to writing this name down, of the two of you, you are head and shoulders the winner. Congratulations. >> I'll go get the votes. Aras, Danielle, jury, thank you for a great 39 days. I know you two are especially excited to have these votes read. You're going to have to wait until we get back to the States. I'll see you there. (applause) (cheering and applause) >> All right. Let's get to it. You guys ready for this? All right, have a seat. Everybody have a seat. Nice warm welcome. Jury. >> Jeff. >> Aras, Danielle, I gotta say, this is a tough game to play. And I think until you play it or witness it firsthand, which is as close as I'm ever going to get, you really can't appreciate it. So I congratulate you guys on coming out and taking this endeavor on. And especially Aras and Danielle, to you two for making it this far. Let's get to it. Seven votes in here. Four votes to win. At stake, title of sole survivor and a check for a million bucks. Ready? I'll read the votes. (laughter) First vote... Aras. (cheering and applause) >> Danielle. One vote Aras, one vote Danielle. Danielle. Obviously, this is Shane's vote. And the answer to his question of what was the number between one and a million. That's two votes, Danielle, one vote Aras. Aras. We're tied, two votes to two. Aras. Three votes Aras, two votes Danielle. It takes four votes to win. The winner of Exile Island, Aras. (cheers and applause) Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org
>> Gotcha. That's first time. >> You have no respect for anybody else out here. >> That's a real mature comeback. >> Go! Whoa! Easy, guys! Two battering rams! There's an obvious competition between you two. >> He's a bad dude and I want to go out there and beat him. >> That rubs me the wrong way when you say that. >> Yes! >> He's feeding my fire. The more he does it, the more I want to beat him. >> Aras sliding down! Terry and Aras neck-and-neck. >> I apologize for going personal like that on you. Straight up. >> I accept that. >> Aras wins immunity! >> Terry and I, through our conflict, we've helped each other grow. Captioning sponsored by CBS PARAMOUNT NETWORK TELEVISION >> Welcome back to the Exile Island Reunion Show. We are live at the Ed Sullivan Theater here in New York City. We have all 16 Survivors. We're gonna talk about the season starting with our winner, Aras. Congratulations. >> Thank you. (cheers and applause) >> You're a millionaire! Let me tell you. You are gonna get a check tomorrow morning for a million dollars, and I have one piece of advice... >> Taxes. >> Pay your taxes. (laughter) Let's talk about... I think the biggest thing in terms of the last few weeks is the rivalry... rivalry between you and Terry. Probably the most significant personal rivalry we've ever had on this show. How big a part did that play in you doing so well, in keeping your performance so high? >> It was huge. Terry is an awesome competitor. He beat me in almost everything I did. And it was just great to have somebody like that to go up against. If you just look at it from a strategic point of view, if Terry doesn't win immunity and someone else does, I go home, so... >> Let's explain that because, you know, there's this hidden immunity idol this season, which really never played in the show in terms of you actually playing it, but I think what you're talking about is the fact that you continued to have that insured your safety. >> Right, 'cause if somebody else wins immunity, then he's gonna use his hidden immunity idol, and his vote is always Aras, so it's Aras going home. >> So Terry really... You had a big impact in Aras becoming a millionaire in a lot of different ways. (laughter) I want to know about your take on Aras, because there was a lot of sort of father-son, would maybe be a way to say it in terms of how you dealt with Aras. Did you respect that rivalry as it was going? >> I respected it totally, and for him to do what he did near the end and apologize for something, and what I needed to do was listen to what he had to say, and I had to be grown-up enough to listen, and he was totally man enough to do what he did, and two mature guys getting it on, strapping it on and making it happen, it was great. >> Terry, you deserve a real big congratulations because... Yeah, absolutely. (cheers, applause) Because this is really... You got your own fan club here. This is really in a lot of ways, numbers are very important in this game. You didn't have the number. Week after week after week after week you had your back up against the wall. Casaya was very strong as a tribe, and you continued to dominate, and it was impressive to watch, and I wondered how much of that... was there some frustration on your part? Because you made a couple of comments about moms not being as important-- it is Mother's Day. You know, you made a comment to Cirie about What on Earth are you doing? and I wondered is that just you or were you frustrated? >> You know what? Cirie had it right when she said she was mad that, that Shane got voted off. That was kind of my last ally, my last grasp. These guys stayed so strong throughout the whole show. I could not crack 'em. And when it was about to happen, they noticed it and got, you know, got rid of who might flop. But a credit to these guys for being so strong throughout the whole game, and yes, it frustrated me. It was totally difficult to go into each challenge as a game seven. >> Yeah, and Aras, you started this show, I think it was day one or two where you had everybody, Let's all put our hands together. Don't stop till you feel the heat. You feel the heat? And I think Austin was like-- or Nick-- one of you guys was saying, I'm not feeling anything about this guy. But I ing that up because you really did come into this game, you know, and Shane gave you a hard time about the yoga and all that, it's easy to say that in the heat of the moment. >> Right. >> What did you take away from this experience? Because you came out here wanting to learn something about yourself. >> Yeah, I'm still learning things about this experience, but I'd say for sure when I got home, it felt like a rite of passage. Going up against Terry, he's the ultimate guy, you know, to go up against him. To go up against and hold my own really made me feel like I had kinda come into my own, so that was big for me. >> Danielle, sitting in the middle of these two guys, played a very quiet game, a very subtle game. You would disappear and then reappear, you had a couple, you had some problems in some of the late challenges figuring them out. I remember watching you getting frustrated trying to find the sandbag and all that, then out of nowhere, when you needed to, you come up and win the big challenge. I know what you said on the show in terms of why you chose Aras. I don't buy it. I don't believe you just... You got a million dollars on the line. You were ready to turn on him with Terry ten minutes earlier. What was the real criteria for making that choice of Aras? Why did you think you could beat him and not Terry? >> I just figured because, uh, I feel that everybody bonded so much with, everyone took a liking to Terry towards the end, and it was a 50-50. It was risky... I mean, these are the two most competitive and smartest... I think they played the game the best out of everybody, and I just figured, um... that either way, I was taking a shot. Um, there wasn't one person that I wanted to... >> Do you think you could have beaten Terry now, watching the show play out? >> I still think it would have been tough. I do. >> Let's see. Let's find out. >> I still do. It was tough. >> Let's swap. Here's what we're gonna do. I want to find this out. Terry's now in the final two, Aras, you're now on the jury, and everybody else who was on the jury, show of hands for who would have voted for Danielle. It takes four. (murmuring) >> It's, it's... >> Okay, you only get one, Bruce. So, two votes. It wouldn't h... Terry would have won. You were that close to a million dollars, Terry. >> Thanks, Jeff. (laughter) >> Well, from where you sit, Danielle, this is what I want to know. You guys had such a tight bond. It was Casaya all the way, and yet you wouldn't have won even against Terry. Do you think that's because it was a vote out of respect for Terry or did you lose favor with people? >> I think I lost some favor with people. I think people-- like I said-- towards the end, me, tried not to vote anybody out. Aras and I voted the same people out, so there was some animosity towards the both of us, so I figured I had a better shot with Aras because Terry didn't have to vote anybody out. So I took a shot. >> All right, before we take a eak, I have one lighthearted question. Young kid I met today-- Casey-- nice guy, wants to know, Aras, how did you keep, who helped you keep that hair like that for 39 days? >> Let's hear it. >> Was it Sally? >> Cirie, actually. Before every... >> I don't want a big explanation. I just want to know if you... >> All the girls would help me before each challenge. They'd put it up real nice and high. >> All right, up next, we are gonna talk to Cirie about her amazing journey. This is a woman who was afraid of leaves, ended up catching the biggest fish and nearly won the show. And still to come, one of the most colorful Survivors ever, we will hear from Shane. Plus, you've been voting online for who you think is most deserving of winning a 2007 all-new GMC Yukon. Exile Island Live Reunion Show will be right back. >> No more torrential downpours, Sir God! No more of those! (lightning crashes) >> I hate leaves. >> I don't think Cirie's had a lot of outdoor experience. >> This is cool for us to eat this like this, right? For the people at home that are like me-- on the couch-- stay on the couch. >> Touch the mat! In the bag! >> Look, I got a fish! >> Cirie Fields... >> Whoo-hoo! >> ...caught the biggest fish out here. >> I kinda underestimated myself for 35 years. And now it's like if I really wanted to do something, there's nothing that I couldn't do now. (cheering) >> Welcome back to the Exile Island Reunion Show. Cirie, when we first met you in casting, you were a giddy bunch of nerves, just back and... Oh, I can. Oh, I...! And there were all kinds of reasons to not put you on the show. And there was one reason that we put you on and it was your spirit. There was something so compelling about you, that we thought this is a woman who has never been off the couch, she wants to be on this show. One of the best moves we've made in putting you on. It was a delight to watch you. (cheering) So what... Cirie... You got fans everywhere now. What was it that made you get up off the couch? >> Oh, Jeff, um... (laughter) I don't know. I just decided to take a chance. >> Tell me about the first day on the beach. You've taken the chance, and Oh, my God, here I am. >> Oh, Lord, the first day, I hated all my friends and family. Sorry, guys, but I just couldn't believe none of 'em said, Don't do it. Are you crazy? You're gonna die. And I'm, like, it was just horrible. It was horrible. You know, I just said to myself, Don't embarrass the family. Don't be the first one. After the first one goes, you can go. >> Well, that's why you worked so hard to get Tina off; just to save your own family pride. >> Yes. >> Well, you talked a lot about, you know, how much you've learned from this and how much time you feel like you've wasted. So how has it changed now that you're back home? How has it changed your life there? >> Unbelievable. I'm off the couch, everybody. (cheering) I just feel with the show, um, America has seen the best and the worst of me, and the fear of disappointing people and the fear of failure is gone now. >> That's powerful. >> I mean, after this, I mean, I can do anything. (cheering) >> Where's your...? Let's go to your man, your husband. HB, stand up. >> HB! >> HB, you've gotta be... Welcome to the show. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> You've got to be very proud of what Cirie did out there. >> Yes, I am. >> And you got to witness it firsthand. >> Yes, I did. I did. And, um, everybody's seen the way they put my butt to work, so... You know, I have no problems with it-- I had to do what I had to do, so... >> What most impressed you about Cirie when you were out there and saw how tough it really is? >> Um, just the fact that she was taking command, telling me what to do. You know, Honey, get the fire. Honey, go up there and get water, you know, Honey, we need to do this, we... scale this fish. >> And that impressed you because you're seeing a side of Cirie you hadn't seen? >> I'd never seen before. You know, being out here in these elements that she does not like, she don't like to be too cold or too hot, so for her to actually be out here... Sorry, honey. Sorry. But for her to actually be out here to do this is awesome. It's mind-blowing, you know? And, um, it's a test, you know, to, to... (sighs) I can't even speak, Jeff, I'm just so emotional. I'm so proud of her and... >> Aw! Well, thanks, HB. I love you, honey... so much. >> All right, HB. All right, all right. You guys are a good couple. Shane, you... (audience whooping) >> Oh, I'm not even getting to you, yourself. I want to know-- because you said something to me when we were talking about when you watched the show, you were blown away by Cirie. >> Oh, yeah. I mean... You know, she played, by far, the best social game out there, a hundred percent. She, uh, she was dead in the water, and she was going home next, or so I thought many times to my delusionment, but... >> You made a comment to me about how she is, sort of typifies the underdog... >> I think the thing that we can all take from watching and playing with her is that, um, in the game, uh, is that she, she is the Everywoman. I mean, she is, if you are like thinking about trying out for the show and you don't think this and don't think that and don't think this... I mean, Cirie's an inspiration to everyone in this country who thinks they can't, and that is what I'm going to take from my relationship with Cirie and my experience with her, because she absolutely wasn't going further than day six, and she put her head down, she worked hard, and she just got along, and then you watch her go, Wow, I could win, and she orchestrated her own madness. And it's really, really been beautiful to watch. >> Somebody else who had quite an experience this season was our favorite Bruce, who was probably in the most physical pain maybe next to Michael in our second season, who got burned in the fire. Let me-- in case everybody's not clear on what happened, when you left, everything was blocked. Your bowels were blocked, your bladder was blocked, nothing was moving and it was a lot worse than I think anybody knew. How long were you actually in pain before you said, I gotta see a doctor? >> Um, about 12 days it started, 12 days before. And every day it got worse, and I didn't want to complain to my tribe. They kind of knew I was uncomfortable, but that's why I sat out of the immunity challenges, and I always asked, Do you need anything done? And I'd need to lay down. >> And you're okay, you're completely fine now? >> I'm great. I feel... (cheers and applause) I had no idea. >> You also took a machete to the mouth and chipped a tooth. >> Yeah. >> You got a new tooth? >> Yeah, I have a new tooth, and I had a split, and I just didn't want to be taken off the show, and I didn't want my wife to be mad at me that I got hurt again. >> Well, how this works is if you call for a doctor, if you're a Survivor and you ask for the doctor, we will send one out. We want to know why you want one and we're gonna check it out, and if a doctor does come out and says, You've gotta go, you gotta go. So that's the risk you take. At a certain point, it's out of your hands. You didn't have a choice. Once they came out and he looked at you, he didn't know what it was. Last question I have for you, by the way, when you came on this show, you lost your job, right, as a teacher? >> No, I, uh, I was threatened that I was going to be terminated if I didn't show up the next day, and, um, I just went anyway, and the whole time on the show, I didn't know if I had a job or not, and... I was suspended... >> Always a good thing for teachers to show their kids. You were suspended? >> I was suspended with no pay. >> Are you back at work? >> I'm back, and I love teaching-- 34 years, and I love teaching. >> All right. We have one other thing we're gonna do, uh, you know... Terry was another person who I think was very surprised in watching Cirie, and you actually, you guys put something together... Just show us what you have there for Cirie. >> We did... First thing, there's a couch for sale 'cause Cirie's never getting back on it. Second of all, we joked around a lot after Cirie caught that fish, and we said, Cirie, you've won the Exile Island First Place Fishing Tournament. Cirie Fields. >> Thank you. >> All right. Up next, after smoking three packs a day, that's 60 cigarettes a day for 20 years, he waited until day one of Survivor to quit. Never had anybody quite like him. Shane is next. >> Welcome back to the Exile Island Reunion Show. In the last eak, we saw a sneak peek of the new Adam Sandler movie Click, which is about a guy who can rewind his life with a remote control. There's certainly times in my life I'd like to be able to rewind my life, but I have to say if there is one person from this season of Survivor that I'm glad could not rewind a thing, it's this guy-- Shane. Take a look. >> I don't like flea! I want this one! I just want mine! I'm not in a good spot, man. I got to get through this detox, for sure, of the cigarette stuff. >> Shane found a piece of wood and is actually... >> Send. >> ...calling it his BlackBerry. >> Stop eating. >> Don't laugh. >> What? (Cirie laughs) >> I'm communicating with people... not on this island. (cheers and applause) >> All right, let's start, let's start at the beginning. Were you really losing your mind, or was this a put-on? >> No... (scoffs) I had smoked three packs a day my whole life. I had never tried to quit. I had no water from like day two to five-- the doctors say that's what you need to come of nicotine the most. I was losing my mind. >> And I don't think you mind if I share that you've been through A.A., you've tried to quit other things before. How did quitting smoking out there-- which is what you were trying to do-- compare to anything else? >> There's nothing harder. In the history of my life, there was nothing as hard as that first, like, ten days. Nothing. Nothing! >> What about the BlackBerry and the thinking chair, you know all those things-- was it rubber room time, or was that you having a little bit of fun and maybe playing the social game? >> It definitely wasn't me playing a social game, 'cause what would happen is that I would have the outburst and then I would, like, sulk off to the woods and go, I'm burying myself as we speak. This is not the game to play, to be crazy. >> Was there a point where it became...? There was a point, where you started saying, I'm so unlikable, everybody's gonna take me. Did that actually click with you at a certain point, where you said, You know what? I'm gonna become the guy everybody wants to take to the final two. >> No, I think that right after the merge-- and I do have to apologize to Danielle's boyfriend and her father-- 'cause that day 12, I was so malicious in the, in the... After that I was like, Okay, my only route now is to be like fair play, you know what I mean, and just totally freak everybody out, hate everybody and just try and roll to the two. But what happened is, I really think people got used to my outbursts and they would be like, That's just... He's just having his minute. And I don't know, but I felt like I was somewhat likeable. I mean... to the tribe. >> In terms of the show, I remember, we talked at the beginning, and I would go over, the producers all go over and say, Look, this is gonna be the hardest thing you ever do, and Shane was, You don't know me. Now that it's all said and done... (Shane sighs) >> Can you just... You can stop right there. It's... It was the hardest thing I'd ever done, ever. I mean, the one thing you don't realize when you're watching it on television... 'cause when I would watch seasons, I would be like, Just do it. Just... Why are you...? And you just have no idea how badly the people were suffering out here, like and what kind of depletion they're going through. You have no idea unless you've done it. >> One other thing I gotta ask you about is that everybody knew that your relationship with your son Boston was special to you, and he got to come out and experience it, which was nice. What was his take in watching the show and all the stuff he didn't know about Dad losing his mind? >> Look at him. First of all, I just want to say that there's no others like single mothers, and if it wasn't for Byrd, I couldn't have made this journey, and Happy Mother's Day. Um... >> Byrd is Boston's mom. Well, your connection was special and you could tell that out there. >> Yeah, I mean, me and my son, when we got home, I just said, you know, I mean, I'm very vivid and very outlandish at times, and very cartoonish, and she sort of anchors us, but I said, This is on a whole 'nother level, like you have not... And we would sit and we would laugh, and he'd kind of look at me and go, Did you just make a death threat on national television? And I would be like, I unfortunately just did that, yes. >> All right, well, as you say, it is Mother's Day, and a bit of a transition here. Because it is Mother's Day, and this is a day when we cele ate our moms, but for Tina, one of this season's Survivors, this Mother's Day is not a joyful occasion, and I want to explain. Tina was originally selected to be on Guatemala. A few weeks before we were set to leave, Tina suffered the worst tragedy any parent could ever go through. Her only son, Charlie, was killed in a car accident. Obviously she couldn't be on that season. We stayed in touch with Tina, and we said if for any reason you think at some point this experience would offer you something-- therapeutic or maybe a way to honor Charlie, we want you to know you have an open invitation. And Tina said, You know what, I think is it would be good for my soul. I would like to give it a try. You came out, and unfortunately you were too strong, and they voted you off soon. But you touched everybody when you shared the story of Charlie and I want to ask you on Mother's Day, how are you doing today? >> I'm doing okay. I'm... I'm doing okay. I get up every day and hit the world, just like any other mother or father should do. But, I was on a magic carpet ride, and the rug was pulled out from underneath me, and it's not today, it's every day, and it will be for the rest of my life, and his father's and our family and friends, and... But I was ready to go! I was ready to go! I... (applause) >> Bad girl! >> Tina, what... >> Bad girl, bad girl! >> What's been the reaction from people? Have you received mail, or do people stop you and want to talk? >> I got a ton of e-mails and my phone was ringing off the hook. Because I'm in show business-- I have The Lumberjill Show and The Lumberjack Show in Maine-- people were e-mailing left and right, they still do. Because people didn't know and Charlie has been on the show with me for, well, 15 years, and, you know, people that hadn't been to the show last year and seen us didn't know until they saw me on Survivor. >> You've gotta share the story you shared with me. Tina goes to her e-mail, second week of the show, you're watching at home with a friend. And you get an e-mail and you say, Oh here's an e-mail. This is typical of what I get. And you start to read it, and tell us what you read, Tina. >> It was an e-mail from the people that were in the car accident with my son. And, Christine, thank you. I mean, I've become friends with her, and it was quite shocking to me to read that e-mail, but, you know... >> So just so I'm clear, you're reading along not knowing who this is from... >> We watched you on Survivor, we always watch Survivor, and we didn't watch it that time and someone came up to us on the street and said, 'I think you need to watch Survivor because I think the mother of the child is on there.' And it was, like, the second worst moment of my life to really realize that other people were involved, and I didn't know them yet. And I wanted to reach out to them for the longest time, but then I got whisked off to Panama and then I got home, and then you get back to life. >> Tina, thank you for sharing that with us. And I'm sure you touched a lot of people. We're glad you're here. We're going to take a eak. We'll be right back. >> This is the most miserable I've ever been in my life. >> Welcome back to the Exile Island Live Reunion Show. I want to try and talk to some of the other guys. Austin, I'll start with you. How tough was Exile Island? >> It was a eeze, man, as you can tell, it was no problem at all. No, seriously, Danielle and I honestly thought, that we had been immersed in the second coming of the Noah floods. Like I was waiting for God's audible voice to say, Hey, man, go grab snakes and iguanas two by two because a flood's coming. It was awful, but, you know, it was the best thing that I've ever been through, too. You know, Danielle and I sat there and we cussed and prayed and cussed and prayed. And I went out into this game saying I wanted to represent somebody bigger than myself, but I found out what it's like to lean on somebody bigger than myself, and when that sun came up after 48 hours of going through that maelstrom, I looked at my life and I took a new perspective on my faith and I will always be thankful to the game of Survivor for that. It was awesome. >> Nice. Dan, you've been into space, I mean, you've been into space. What did you... did you take anything from this game? Do you have a memory of this? >> Oh, absolutely, I mean, waking up every morning in this unbelievable island, with the sunrise coming up, and the iguanas you could pet, the amazing people that you were with, away from everything, away from e-mail, away from phones, away from it all, it was a spiritual awakening, and it was just so beautiful. And every morning I would get up, I would say, Another beautiful day in paradise. >> He would. >> Ruth Marie sent me a t-shirt, says, Another beautiful day in paradise. It became a mantra for the tribe. >> Well, it was a pleasure to have you on the show. >> Thank you. >> Courtney, at the other end of the spectrum, at times very tough for you. Was there anything, now that it's all said and done, anything positive that came out of this for you? >> It was a beautiful reflection really into life and to how you relate with people. And that, you know, everyone-- we have our dreams right in front were us, and that the result, it's insignificant. It's really the road you take to get there and the one you choose to take on the way out, and there are many more dreams in the future, and I grew a lot as a person. >> You know, considering what you went through out there, I think it says a lot about you and your growth, what you just said. (cheers and applause) >> Sally, one of the things that came out on this show is that right before coming on the show, you had gone through a divorce, family relations were very strained with your parents because of that. Did this show and you being on TV every week, did that help at all to ing you guys back together? >> Um, I think it did, I think what it did was it gave people in my life who maybe were concerned about who I was, who I had become through some choices that I had made for my own life, to give them a glimpse to be able to say this is who I am, I'm still the same person. I'm a lot happier. And, you know, anyone who looked at that and really looked at it would see, so any other issues out there, they're not mine, I'm very... It was a great reflection time for me. I'm very affirmed in the choices that I've made, and where my life is at. So... >> All right, good. Nick, here's what I want to do, because we're running a little bit short on time. Nick in the back row, except for Tina who we've talked to, I want to ask you one thing-- because you guys didn't get a lot of time necessarily on the show-- one thing most misunderstood about you that we didn't see, quick answer. >> Honestly, not that much. It was... Nick was hungry. >> All right, Nick was hungry. Bob Dog, what didn't we know about you? >> Cirie would disagree with this, but I'm surprisingly cuddly. >> Ruth Marie. >> Jeff, I think my personality was way cuter out there than it showed on the TV. No offense to the edit, but... >> Okay, no cute personality shown. Misty, you had bug bites galore. What else didn't we know? >> But I was still smiling, so... >> You're right. >> Most importantly, and I'm never gonna give up on anything. That's me. >> Melinda... >> Jeff. >> What didn't we get to see that we would have if you were out there longer? >> That I could handle whatever is thrown my way. Whatever it is, and I know that now. That's one thing that I, that I didn't know before Survivor that I know now. I can handle it. >> Perfect. Good. All good answers. All right, well, during the show, Terry won a 2007 all-new GMC Yukon, and in doing so kept the car curse alive. 12 seasons of Survivor, the winner of the car has never won the game. Tonight we have another GMC to give away, but this time, your votes, you at home, have decided who wins the Yukon. You've been voting online. (cheers and applause) That's right... for your favorite Survivor. I want to ask the audience. Who do you think was voted the most deserving and the people who liked them the most? >> Cirie! >> Cirie! >> Well... the woman who told everybody to get off the couch, is now owning a 2007 all-new GMC Yukon. While Cirie figures out what color Yukon to order, we're going to take a eak. When we come back, we'll show you which part of the world Survivor is heading to next. Don't go away. >> Welcome back. Tomorrow morning, all four of our finalists will appear on The Early Show on CBS. That's when Aras will receive his check for a million dollars. And as this season of Survivor comes to a close, we're packing up with a whole new group of Survivors and heading to one of the most stunning locations we've ever been to. Take a look. This fall Survivor voyages to an isolated group of islands named after the famous English explorer Captain James Cook. It was the Cook Islands that played host to Captain William Bligh just days before the infamous mutiny on the Bounty. Now the new Survivors will have their own adventures in this lush and exotic land. And Exile Island will return with new twists. Who will outwit, outplay, and outlast all the others? Join us this fall for the premiere of Cook Islands. If you want to own a piece of Exile Island, here's how you can do it. Immediately following the reunion show, log on to survivorcharity.com. You'll find all sorts of one-of-a-kind props from the show. The auction runs from May 14, that's tonight, to June 11. The proceeds help Operation Smile provide free surgery to children suffering with facial deformities in Panama and 24 other countries around the world. Finally, if you think you have what it takes to be on this show, put together a three-minute videotape. It doesn't have to be much. Just turn on the camera and tell us who you are. All the details are at cbs.com. And who knows, like Cirie, it may just change your life. We always appreciate your loyal support. We hope we see you back for the next one, Cook Islands. Good night, everybody. Captioned by Media Access Group at WGBH access.wgbh.org

Speaking practice time You have to do it even if you don't want to. You have to be able to converse with people who don't know sign language. It's too hard and embarrassing. You still have to do it. Dad isn't around anymore. When I'm not around, what will you do? You would be so sad if I had to take a eak from school. Right? Let's do it. Let's practice again. Hello Hello You should continue the conversation and respond with It's nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you. What is your name? Kwon Kyung sook Mom, you are doing so well. Dad's hospital bills all the loans. We paid it all back. And now I'm healthy, too. Can't you quit your part-time job? I wish you could just focus on your studies. I don't work for the money. It's fun! I'm fine. Mom, drink this often. You really should, alright? Did I not ew it right? Mom Mom Are you alright? Did you kiss? Did you? Wow Hey, Did Yunyoung pass her government employee test? No, she failed Korean history just by a few points. Wow. Then, she'll definitely pass next time, right? You bet! But can you take the government employee test Without graduating high school? How many times do I have to tell you The test doesn't have degree requirements? Our cutie doesn't remember anything other than food, right? Eat up. Now that you say it, I remembered. What is it? I came prepared. Oh, you have good sense. She's coming. Hide it. I told you guys not to eat outside food here. The smell is distracting to the other customers. Sis, This is food. And this is food, too. You can't discriminate. If my boss finds out, I'll get in trouble. Sis, The boss here is really nice Everyone knows that Right. Sis, sit down for a second. Your mom, she really doesn't know you're not back at school? So you're not going to enroll again? Why would she? It's unnecessary. Yunyoung is so smart she can just take the GED. Right That's true. Alright. This is our present. Next time, you will certainly pass and become a government employee. Eat slowly and make sure to chew. - You can do it! - Fighting! Yunyoung, do you want YEOT for good luck? Mom! Did you get really hurt? No, it's just a little bit. But you still got hurt. I'm sorry, I'll be careful Promise to be careful. Please watch out for my mom. And please let me know if anything happens. Okay. The hospital said that she's okay So don't worry too much. Alright. Thank you. Let's go. Kyungsook Easy does it. My pretty mom, I'll be a little late, So don't wait for me our side. Stay home! Yunyoung looks like her mother. Younyoung keeps getting prettier Because she resembles you, She looks like her dad that's where her good looks come from I don't know what you're saying But now that she's no longer a minor before she graduates, marry her to me. There aren't men like me around I will make her happy every night. Don't joke around about my daughter! I guess she understood that part. Yunyoung Hello, sir. Can I get one iced coffee? Of course. You're so kind to my mom, so this one is on the house. But what are you doing here at this hour? I went to the glasses store, and stopped by on the way home I see, let me go get your drink. You can take your time. Yunyoung Yunyoung Yunyoung Your mother must be worried. Yunyoung You're smart So, you should know better. If you report me, I will kill your mother. Oh wait, It's been awhile since that crippled father of yours died. Maybe I should make her feel like a woman before I kill her. Like I did to you. Yunyoung… Yunyoung I suddenly miss kyungsook. Yunyoung Yunyoung You should eat a little The body is too badly damaged to call this a voluntary manslaughter. You could've hit him without killing him. Look, don't take me wrong. I'm not saying you did it. Let's say the two of you had some sort of an agreement. Whether it was about money, or taking care of your mom. If he was still alive we could do cross interrogation or use a lie detector test to find out the truth There's no case where murder is accepted as an act of self-defense. An act of retaliation cannot fall under self-defense. And if we want the self-defense ruling, We would have to prove the sexual assault. The two of you knew each other, And kept in contact often because of your mother. So the evidence from the scene isn't enough. Plus, the perpetrator is dead. The legal matters are very complicated. I don't care as long as my mother isn't hurt. Your mother may suffer even more When you get sentenced. Even if you appeal, you have to go to jail before and during trial. And you don't have student identification. Your birthday has passed, too, So most likely, you won't be tried as a juvenile, you will have to go to prison. Why don't we go public and get help from women's rights organizations or social organizations? I'm scared of the attention. I don't want to do that. Mom look at me. Mom I have a favor to ask of you. Please do it for me. Mom, don't do anything for me. Even if someone says they will help us, don't accept it. I'm already exhausted by people around me and at school watching me. I don't want the world to look at us with pity. I wouldn't be able to stand that. I... I killed a man. It wasn't your fault! Some people will point at me and call me a murderer. Mom, I don't think I'll be able to stand it. I will announce the verdict. Case number 2017 Hight Court Agreement 174. Defendant Jung Yunyoung. We need the words of the perpetrator of the sexual assault committed against the defendant. But due to the death of Kim Chulmin The case leads to lack of evidence. This attack and retaliation cannot be looked at as an act of self-defense. However, there are other factors to take into account, and thus, The defendant Jung Yunyoung is Sentenced to five years. She's got 5 Mom No Time to report. She looks pretty. Tell me your name, crime and sentence. My... Name is… We'll hear from the new girl later. She looks like she's going to faint. But shouldn't she still report? Put down your things and rest. Hey! I told you not to touch!! Hey, don't. I said, don't this bitch! Starting up again! Don't! Wait wait! Are you okay? She has anger management issues. She keeps blowing up. You okay? Woah, she's bleeding. I'm fine. Oh dear… Hey! Because of your spit it will get more infected. Gross! What? It won't get infected! Spit heals everything. Is that why your face looks like that? Shut the fuck up! My face is well taken care of, no thanks to you! Back off!! Oh God, my arm. Big Sis. Big Sis. Please pray for her. She was crying all night. You can pray for her. I'd feel like I'm sinning even more if I pray, so I can't. You're not afraid of sinning, you're just afraid you'll feel more guilt. That's why you can't. Oh… Wipe it. So weak! Only your tongue working out, huh? Go down! One, two. Be careful. Free supplies. The soap will give your face mold. The tooth ush will rot your teeth. The towel will make your face blotchy. The socks have so little material it will give you athlete's foot. Cut the crap will you? If you want to give them to her, just do it without the bullshit. You just do your reading. If she weren't my jail roommate, I would've killed her alrelady. Use them well. Thank you. You're pretty. You have baby skin, And you're young. Lucky you, huh? Since we have a new family member, let's have a feast for eakfast! We ate like this last night. Also, this is all Haesoo's food. Shut up and just eat Will you, unless you want to go to the doctor first thing in the morning. You thief bitch! What? You have a lot of money outside from all your scam and fraud. You have to give back in places like this. You have to expiate a little. You always talk of expiation! Sick of it! You guys are so simple and impulsive. I'm just happy cause I'm eating for free. Come here. Wow. Relax and eat up. Whether in here or out there, it's all the same. You'll manage. Just go with the flow and mingle. You learn this bitch is like this, that bitch is like that. Big Sis here used to be a teacher So she speaks in a way that's so easy to understand. Penal labor is literally forced labor. So since we have to work, make sure you're full! New one, where do you want to work? Sarang, Rose that idiot And Haesoo the idiot all work at the repair shop And Big Sis and I work at the woodworking shop. Big sis is really amazing She is a death row inmate so She doesn't have to work, but she still does. Shit I must be out of my mind That big mouth! Which place pays you best? Huh? The repair shop pays best, but the work is shit. You get hurt and bleed. I'll do that one. I have to earn money. You're a level 4 so you won't be paid much. Two to three dollars. In one day? In one month. Hey, don't joke around. You'll get 30-40 dollars a month. Try out the repair shop. Try other ones out, too. Then decide what fits you best. Okay. But You are you ranked higher? Why is your uniform pink? What? My clothes, these! She's a model prisoner, Not on the catwalk but here in jail, she's the good one. I can't agree. The world is so unfair, whether it's here or out there! How is that idiot a model prisoner? Pink suits me so well. Hey! Stop talking nonsense. Eat up, and get ready for work. Yes, big sis. Should I give you a chicken wing? Hey there. Get back in line. Go! Move. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. Twelve Who are you? Are you new? Can you answer properly? Yes, I am here to work. What's your inmate number? It is 2037. Remember that number. In here, that's your name and social security. Understood? Yes, understood. Learn the ropes from your roomates. This is a very important component. This is the propeller shaft. Sometimes it's referred to as rear-wheel drive. You're getting in the way. Go over to Sarang. Go! Get lost. Fuck, I said get lost! Hey! Move. I'm sick of this. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven Eight, nine, ten, eleven Twelve. Finished. Excuse me? What? When do we get paid? I don't know what shit you heard before coming here, but there's no pay here. Did you think it's like real world here? You expect to get paid? You think the hard-earned tax dollars of Citizens are paid out to you so you can spend it? How dare you! It's her first time. Besides, We do get paid for the work. And on special occasions if we make a request, we can use that money as our allowances to buy things in here. Looking out for each other, huh? Unless you want solitary confinement, watch it. Fuck! I didn't do anything. I told you already. Don't, ok? You see that bell, look, look. If you ever feel your life's in danger, Run and press that button. The guards will come save you. You're exaggerating. Why you at! I'm holding myself back. Because I don't want to add one years and serve life in here. Why? So you can leave and become a pimp? What? Are you being nice to the new one So you can sell her once you're out? How can you have such a filthy mouth? Don't listen to her. It's all a lie. Hey! This girl is different from the rest of us. You, bitch, belong here, but this one, She's in here unfairly. Is that so? Then why are you writing to the judge everyday? I told you I'm holding myself back Cos I don't want a life sentence. You have no other future than being a pimp, So why don't you kill Haesoo and become a lifer? That's what I'm saying. These people. What's up with you guys! Big sis!! You come here, huh! Let's just live here forever. I'll make you a lifer. Come on! - I'll let you live here forever. - Come on! You with that prettey face of yours. I was just joking around. - I'll get rid of all your shine. - I was just kidding Why you snake. I'm sorry but. I'm really sorry but. Can you guys please be quiet? Child, What's your name? It's Yunyoung. I had a son A drunk driver hit and killed him, and drove away. So you know what I did? The driver eventully turned himself in, but I set his house on fire. I ended up killing his five family members who were asleep in the house. When I'm awake, my guilt chokes me. When I'm asleep, the people I killed choke me. Don't hold it inside. Write letters, pray, do something, anything to let it out. That's how you live on. Mom It's me, Yunyoung. You're not sick, right? If you feel any pain, go to the hospital. Don't worry about the money. And I'm doing well. Everyone here is nice to me. Mom, I'm sorry. Did she get hit in the head with a hammer? We need to send her to see the doctor. She's adjusting quickly. I... Huh? How can I send a letter? You put your letter in an envelope and then put a stamp on it. I know that, but... See that? Hang your letter there. The meal helpers they'll take it and mail it out. Here. I'm not giving these for free. Pay me back twofold when you earn money. Thank you! Thank you! The saw should be slightly above the wood, And then push it. Let me show you. Toilet paper! I need toilet paper! Korea history books Do you like Korean history? No. If there's anything you like, feel free to read it. Thank you Please. Can't I please ing it? I'm sorry. Outside food is not allowed in. Then, Can I just ing this? I'm very sorry. I wish I could help. If you ing this in, not just me, But your daughter can also get in trouble. Okay. I won't. I understand. I'll just take it back. One, two, three, four, five, six. Finished. Get to your workplaces and don't be late! 2037! Yes, 2037. You have a visitor. Mom is doing well and healthy... Mom is well Mom, why did you come all the way here? Mom is Well and healthy. Is my daughter Doing well? Wow. Mom, you've practiced speaking so much. Hello Hello Mom, you have to continue the conversation. You have to say, It's nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you. Thank you. I'm sorry, why are you saying thank you. Because you taught me how to study... Because you are my daughter. Don't cry my baby. Don't cry.. Mom Mom, don't cry.. Mom.. Room 11, morning check-in! You're a furnace. Just lay down. You're sick, what are they gonna do? Hey, hey! What the… just lay down. Room 10, morning check-in! Who the hell is laying down during check-in? Room 10! Do I need to send all of you to solitary confinement? That's not it... 2037, what are you doing? Madam What? 2037 is so sick she can't even sit up. I think she has to go and see a doctor. Are you sure? You sure it's not a misdiagnosis? Yes, I'm sure. Don't get up. Just lay down. I'm so sorry. I got a cold. Did you know? What.. Are you talking about? That you're pregnant. Stand right there! Stop. 2037. Hey!! What is this! 2037. Get her!! Grab her! Grab her! Open the door! Open the door! Mom! 2037! Let go of me! How can this be? She's just a kid! She should be running around in a school uniform. Seriously... How far along is she? They'll find out when they do an ultrasound. This is big. She's going to end up having that baby. Of course, she'll have the baby. It's life. What are you gonna do, kill it? Hey! Bitch! Think before you speak. You think it makes sense to have this baby! She was sexually assaulted, Can't she get an abortion? The wardon went through the hearing the court's ruling, Yunyoung beat him to death with a weapon, His ain was literally squashed. Oh no... So it's not easy to prove that is was a sexual assault. Because of that, It wasn't ruled as an act of self-defense, But rather, bodily injury resulting in death. A bastard like that deserves to get his ain squashed to death, What's wrong with that?! That's the law. You're kidding, right? So did you end up here because you followed the law? Fuck you. Well, I don't know about the rest of us, but Yunyoung's different. It not her fault. Shit. Who out of all of us isn't being wrongfully accused!! But there's nothing we can do. The baby's done nothing wrong. Yunyoung has to give birth! Fuck! The baby is at fault! It's very existence itself is wrong, fuck it! Shit. Hey! Why you bitch! I was nice to you because you're an orphan. But now you just act up like you don't know anything! Shit. You wanna die? Great! Go ahead!! Kill me! Go! You crazy bitch!! Stop! You think dying is that easy? Killing is that easy? I could kill all of you here tonight, nothing changes for me. I'm still the same death row inmate. Is it the same for you guys? Huh? Sir! - Open the door. - Yes. Oh no... Now now... You can't let your heart freeze up like this.. Baby Even if it's hard, you have to push through.. Teacher… I want to live… Yes, You have to. You have to live well. Rose... Rose, This It ain't easy is it… Lay down. Don't do anything, just lay down. What are you going to do now? Stop thinking about it and just take care of it. Why you! Are you the mom! What has the baby done wrong! Rose, you say something! Well, it's not a baby yet. - It's just a fetus. - Hey! What a joke! You guys are all just words, you can't really be of any help. Want me to help you? This is what you do. Why would you carry such a son of a bitch in your womb!! Hey!! Shit. You come here. You crazy bitch, what are you saying! What do you think you're doing! Pitiful bitch! Once a prostitute and you became a pimp, so does that make you feel some sympathy? Since your womb is gone, are you jealous of the baby or something? Shit. Yeah, I'm jealous. I didn't know when I back then. But since I've lost it I'm jealous! Shit. Crazy bitch. Why were you even born? Fucking bitch. What are you guys doing fighting here? Lock'em up! Feel sorry for what you've done. If you don't eat, it's only your loss. Whether you like it or not, you have to eat to live. If there's anything you want to eat, request it. The warden said you can use the money in custody. So don't worry about money. Why can't I visit? Visit. Wait…wait You can take your time. Wait a minute. It's okay. Did anything happen to my daughter? It's nothing like that. Wait. Your daughter is refusing all visits. Why... why... Why?! My daughter...! I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do to help. I'm sorry. It will be difficult for you to visit today. I'm sorry. It will be difficult for you to visit today. Big Sis told me to ing this to you because you're not eating anything. Those bitches. Hello everyone, nice to see you all. Wow, you're really pretty. Can you guys get out? Our sis wants to talk to this pretty one. Our sis just wants to have a chat. Hey, Pretty I hear you're the youngest ace here. Do you know me? Do you really not know our sister? I'm the bitch from Bulgwang-dong. I'm the bitch from Ssangmun-dong. Let's go to the bathroom together. If I kill you, this will be my sixth murder Do you want to watch? What are you doing, sis? I told you not to bother the girls in my room. Alright, I understand. I made a mistake. But you still need to be punished for ignoring my warning. I told you to get rid of the baby not you, bitch. You don't have the guts to kill yourself. What's with this fucking shit! If you can't kill yourself, Then have the baby! Abandon it, raise it or kill it, Do whatever, you fucking bitch! What is going on! If 2037 lost her baby, that would have added murder to your list. Please don't make trouble here. Instead of suffering like this, Why don't we get help from the press or some civic groups? If we can get the public opinion on your side it will be a lot of help to you. I'm sorry. I don't want to get any help. Why not? I mean, we can't even if we wanted to. Yeah!! You have to get help! There's the baby! And you are still so young, You have to get out of here as soon as possible and live your life. I'd rather spend 5 years here. It would be much more painful to live in shame hiding from the rest of the world forever. I'm sure some people will have sympathy But people will know I have a baby and that I am a murderer. And when my frail mom finds out I am pregnant She will really die. She's suffering enough as is. A mother is much stronger than you may think. But I still don't want My mom getting hurt. You're right. As a woman, a normal life is so much better than one receiving pity from everyone. Alright then. Let's put our faith in a request for retrial. We should also request for a jury The jury and the judge will understand what you're going through. Then, an abortion will be possible by proving a sexual assault. So don't punch your stomach or hurt yourself in anyway. Don't. Let's ask them to push up the retrial date. Ask who? Everyone who's awaiting trial, Thinks their case is urgent and that their trial date should be pushed up. Shit. What do we do? Is the date set for the retrial? No. But from now on, 2037 will be in security division work full time. Why? It's a special order from the warden. Let's go. Can't I just keep working here? They pay you more than here, so don't worry and just move. Besides, it's much easier to go to the nurse's office from there. Sir! Why you! The work's not that hard. You open up all the goods purchased from outside, And you check to see if there's anything fishy in there. If it's medicine, it goes to the nurse's office. And the letters go to the different rooms. Yes. You can clean a little bit, And if anyone below me makes you run errands, you can let me know. Okay? Mom, you're doing okay, right? I couldn't bare to see you. Just one year, can you wait just one year? If I work hard and become a model inmate, they'll even let me study. Always keep your inhaler nearby. So Make herbal medicine and drink it often. Don't worry about me. I love you, mom. You're six months pregnant, but the baby is very small. The baby weighs only 300g. Do you know why? The baby reads mom's mind. Because the mom is rejecting the baby, the baby is hiding away in the womb. And that's why there's no changes to your body. The baby being so small, will there be health problems? All the organs and overall health of the baby good. And the heartbeat is very strong, too. Listen. Yes Is there anything you want to eat? Sticky rice cake Sticky rice cake? It's okay.. If you're so curious, ask her yourself! Alright, alright! What did they say at the hospital? They said I'm six months along. Six months?! Your stomach is not showing at all but you're six months? They said the baby is hiding. Hiding? The baby is hiding in the stomach? The baby knows how I'm feeling. Wow. Knows the mother's feelings. Don't hide. I thought you lost the baby, I was so worried! - You should be worried because it's not! - Shit. Lila, give this to the youngest. Sure! Youngest, our youngest baby. This will keep you warm. Sleep tight. Watch it! Must you wash while I'm in here. Then stop peeing I am finished now, you rascal! Please let me do something. It's fine. I'll get in trouble. - I'll do it. - Go away Will you stop sptting! Big sis, this would be clean enough for the little one, right? Oh wow, It hasn't been long since eakfast but you're hungry again. I'm not hungry. Someone give her something to eat. The baby is hungry! - Am I a prison pantry to you? - Of course. Ugh, you stupid bitch. That's not her being hungry, it's the baby moving! Baby moving? The baby is swimming insdie the womb. Swim?! Yes Visit. A visit? Since you've been here It's your first visit, right? I don't have anyone to come visit me. Is that something to be proud of? Go to the admin office, first. Good. Let's pick a bank and create an account for you. Why? Why do I need a bank account? Ah, well... Your father's name is Yoo Dongwon, right? I don't know anyone like that. Okay. The paper says your father is Yoo Dongwon. He was working at a construction site but he fell and died. He left behind some inheritance. About $8000. I don't need anything like that. I knew you would say that. But there's this procedure. Who else would get the money? It has to go to a family member. So just open an account. You'll be getting some insurance payment later, too. You can take care of that when you get out. Here, take it. What about the body? Oh..Are you curious about it? What about the body? They couldn't reach the family, And he didn't have a home. It was determined a body with no affiliation, so they cremated the body. I solemnly swear that I will speak the truth under oath. The prosecution can proceed. Members of the jury, The lawful assessment has shown already that this Cannot be proven to be an act of self-defense. To put it simply If a thief comes in with a knife, you can't shoot him dead with a gun. In other words, If you use a weapon, Or if you cause the other person more harm than the other person did to you, It can be ruled as excessive self-defense. Thus, Even if the defendant truly was sexually assaulted Murder cannot be considered an acceptable retaliation The jury must also already know Article 11 sub-paragraph 1 of the Constitution states All people are equal under law. This is the logic and foundation of the law And critical to society's rules. Now the defense may proceed. Your honor, the defendant would not like to speak further. Does the defendant not want to give a final statement? I will. I did kill someone. You don't have to believe me but I was also sexually assaulted. I will do as you say. If the judge says five years, I'll do it. If the judge says 10 years, I'll do the 10 years. I will serve my time that you give me And then return home and live with my mom. As if this was all a dream, As if nothing had happened... I just want to go back to my mom. But... For me... this place is so scary And difficult. We will now announce the verdict. The jury's verdict and the judges' verdict are the same. We reverse the original verdict. Even if there was no sexual assault, And the relation was a consensual one, It is clear that the encounter was violent and coercive. Thus, even though it cannot be ruled as an act of Self-defense due to the severity of the defense, Given the circumstances, There is enough reason to take the situation into account, And the sentence can be shortened. However, Due to the charge of lethal injury, Defendant Jung Yunyoung Is sentenced to one year. A particularly cold winter has gone by, and spring has arrived at last. The first song of the day is Across the River Spring Arrives Hey! Be careful and at least try to hide it. If they know you made a knife out of a nail, you'll go into solitary confinement! Why do you care, sis? Did you just call me sis? Wow You've finally become a human being now. You can leave this place tomorrow. Bullshit. You crazy! Can we please speak more elegantly? Bullshit. Shit, the baby is listening... Shit I'm so sorry. Where are you? Wow, the baby's hiding. Come out. Get some sun, swim freely. If you have no sense, at least have some sensitivity. Are you asking for it? If only I got caught just a month later, I wouldn't be here being humiliated and treated like this. These ladies got caught for Prostitution ring! Pyramid scheme fraud! Violence! I am not like them. I am in for adultry. I got caught just a month before adultery law was abolished. Wow! You're going to make a passsing mosquito vomit. You were seeing three men at once! Sis, you can't explain love in numbers! Then how about theft? Oh, that... I took their stuff because I was angry I had to sleep with such scumbags! Wow, really you're a total mess, you bitch! Is there anything you want to eat or do? No But I do miss something. What is it? I miss cosmos flowers. I'll pretend I didn't hear that. You have to eat a lot of fruit. It's good for the baby. Here! I'm ok. I'll pass. It's not okay. Open up. You need to gobble it up for the baby. Youngest - Can you help me organize my books? - Sure Which books should I give you? You're pregnant, just stay still I'll help, which book is it? No! You wouldn't know one book from another, bitch! Shit. I know books! You bitch! If she went to a 4-year university, She would've easily been a pseudo religious cult leader. I graduated from a 4-year university, although it was in one of the smaller cities. 4-year universities are only in Seoul! You absolute idiot! Get lost! Shit Get me the knife. Why are you giving me bullshit? Here. Have it. Really? You love this book. Yup. I love all of them, So don't waste precious time and Use the time for yourself. Thank you. You're welcome. Oh Is it possible Can an ex-convict take the government employee exam? I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Clean up. Let's get your temperature. It's normal Any other pain or discomfort other than your headaches? I go pee too often, but other than that, I'm fine. That part's inevitable so try to bear with it. Also taking medicine too often isn't good for you. Try not to take if you can. I can't sleep at night because of the headaches. It feels like you're coming in to get the pills too often these days I will prescribe some medication for the headaches. Take them here. I'll take it later, when I really need it. Are you hoarding the medication? No, I really am sick. Sir! What are you doing there? I had headaches so I'm coming back from seeing the doctor. Is it really bad? No, I'm better now. Okay, so then can we speak for a moment? Yes This is chrysathemum tea. It's good for headaches. Thank you. Drink it while it's warm. Hide it and then have it for yourself. Thank you also for the supplements and vitamins. My youngest daughter is around your age. So I feel sorry when I see you. So I feel sorry when I see you. I feel the grown-ups have wronged you. Let me know if you ever need help. Also, why don't you just rest in your room until you go into labor? It's more bearable when I move around. Go ahead, try it. Mom Just borrow it and then return it. Why would you make a needle? Girl, So that we can keep using it. Be careful! You're really good at drawing. Why do you like cosmos flowers so much? It's a girl who is shy. Like my mom. - The cosmos flowers? - Yes. When the flower shakes with the fall wind, It looks like a shy girl. Yunyoung must be this pretty because you takes after your mom. My mom is way prettier. Much more prettier! Oh, by the way! I asked the warden, And it turns out five years after being released, Ex-convicts can take the government employee exams. Really? Don't loose hope just because your body is locked up. Yes. Look. Cute, huh? So adorable. - What's with the color? - Why? Do you want the baby to be dressed as a prisoner? This is the only fa ic I had. You, go over there and keep watch. Why? Shit This moment we have to prepare with sincerity We have to make more clothes, make more diapers. And we have to make a comfortable blanket and pillow, too. I know it. Pack the thread. That fearless bitch! Pack the thread. Run! Hurry! What the? Who did this? Uh-oh, seems like you'll go to the punishment room. Shut up! Why you crazy bitch! I'm not crazy. You said something that got me thinking, So the baby can't be wearing prison clothes. You idiot! Do you have a ain? Is my uniform not a prisoner's uniform? It is! But today is Sunday. Sunday is marked red, so pink makes sense. Ugh, you idiot! What does pink have to do with Sunday? They don't really The baby's going to get scared. Shhh.. Your legs are super sexy. Are you okay? You scared the shit out of me. They said it's just a stomache cramps so thank goodness. Using an English name is better, right? Rose Tiffany Natasha Jessica If it's a boy, then what? Of course, it's Daniel Henney. David, Richard, Michael Johnson. So what if the name is fancy! Might as well call it Juju. All things aside, shouldn't we consult with Yunyoung about the baby's name? That's true, But She hasn't even accepted the existence of the baby. She's going through a lot, so we have to set it up for her, and when she needs it, it'll all be ready for her. How about a Korean name, Bo-ni? Boni? Well, the inner skin of a chestnut is called bo-ni. It's the part that protects the fragile inside. The baby should grow up to be a person that can protect the weaker ones. Bo-ni could be for both a girl and a boy. Not bad at all! Big Sis. That's right. No! Hell No!!! What!! No, absolutey not. I really really hate it. Just a husk, dead skin. It's not dead skin! It doen's mean husk! It's something that protects the weak and the fragile. We want the baby to that kind of a person. Bullshit. What a joke. Husk! Dead skin! That's a bad name! It's just like my life. I hate it. How about core, huh Big Sis? - Core! Co-co? - Co-co-nut? Bo-ni. It sounds nice and has a nice meaning. It's Korean. I did my own cleaning today. Hope you'll like these. Cheer up, 2037! How's this? Is it okay? This hand is so cute This one's for the feet. Wow So pretty Shit. - I'm so tired. - You haven't done anything. Yunyoung! Yunyoung! Her water oke! She's still eathing! Water, water! Hurry up and ing water! Yunyoung, wake up! Guards!! Fucking guards! Is anyone there? Someone is dying here! Guards!! Take deep eaths and push. Push. Doctor, she has dilated 10 centimeters Can you hear me? Push. Push till the end. You have to push more. - Please wake up. - Nurse Push the baby out! Yes Patient! Push harder! At this rate, it is dangerous for the mother, too. You have to eathe! What are you doing? Are you going to kill the baby? What is all this? It's... All addressed back to this room. There is too much bleeding. At this rate, she will go into shock. Patient Yunyoung Please wake up! Are you really not going to push? Both you and the baby could die! - Push, push! - Yes. Patient! Please wake up. I'm leaving this letter in case I don't return. Teacher, you are hurting, too, right? You took care of my wounds, and that helped me keep going forward. I know you prayed for me, as well. Thank you so much and I am sorry. Haesoo sis, I am so sad because I wanted to go to college and read a lot of books like you. But I am so happy I got to know you. When you gave me the history books, I thought to myself, I want to give life and studying another chance. Thank you for finding out what I liked without even asking, and helping me so much. Our troublemaking sis. I'm so upset I met you so late in life. I was kind of sad because I felt like you were the only one who didn't know how much love you hold for others. You're a great sis, one that I want to show off to others. I wish I could stay longer and pester you. I'm sorry I relied on you a lot. And I loved you a lot. Pretty face, pretty heart, pretty body. Which is why men won't leave you alone. But I hope you meet Mr. right who will love you for who you are and stay with him. You always looked so pretty to me because you were ready to love and be loved. I was jealous of that. I wish I could see you in your wedding dress. I have a request for you, cool sis. When you go out into the world, try growing your hair and putting on some makeup. You don't know this but I think you're the prettiest person I've ever met. Also, you're not bad because you were abandoned, I think it's bad that you think you were abandoned. I don't think your parents abandoned you. I think they protected you. If I said this to in person, you might beat me up so I'm writing a letter. Please, don't hide and cry anymore. Please! How is the mother? It won't be easy but We have to hope she'll regain consciousness. Yunyoung! Mom bought you pizza. In your next life, I hope you'll live like a 7-year-old at 7 And a 15-year old when you are 15. Mommy is so sorry. Boni, you have to become a pretty girl. Government employee Interview certificate Mom!

I could go deliver the paper, and one day there was this story, three rock 'n' roll stars killed in a plane crash. Buddy was now dead. Well, I know that you're in love with him - This is where the music died. - Dancin' in the gym The country was in an advanced state of psychic shock. And so, I said, I got to have a big song about America. One day, it all came out like a genie out of a bottle. I knew I had the tiger by the tail. The day the music Everything took off like a rocket. - It went to number one so fast. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - American Pie blew up the world. - But the levee was dry - I think I know the album cover as much as I know the song. I mean, Captain America thumb, it's iconic. - This'll be the day that I die - American Pie was really encapsulating the experience of a whole generation. - Now for ten years we've been on our own - Everybody can relate to that song. American Pie drew you in deeply. - But that's not how it used to be I'm trying to do a kaleidoscopic, dream-like story about America. The jester stole his thorny crown I say the jester stole his thorny crown. Elvis did not have a thorny crown. A pink carnation, sure, I went to a lot of proms, but I never had a pickup truck. But I could have anything I wanted in my songs. I saw Satan laughing with delight - It's the kind of song you dream about writing that has meaning and has depth, has relevance to generations, you know, ongoing. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - We're in the age of TikTok. Meanwhile, an eight-minute song is still getting radio play all over the world. - Singin', This'll be the day that I die It is a masterpiece. - No one's ever written anything like it since. - There's a reason it's been around for 50 years. The day The music died - This is what the power of music is. - echoing A long, long time ago dreamy music You can see the house I grew up in in New Rochelle, it's still there. Being in the house with my parents, who I loved very much, and they were great people, but it was very restrictive. I was white, suburban, middle-class. We believed in God. We believed in the church. We believed in our government. I was ill quite a bit. I had asthma and I would be out of school for weeks and weeks, stuck in the house and looking at kids playing outside. And I developed differently than they did. My father's idea of what he wanted for his son was a West Point guy, an athlete, warrior, intellectual, crew cut, upright American boy. And I thought, I can't be farther apart from this guy than I am. - Well, now, if your baby leaves you And you've got a tale to tell Well, just take a walk - And that's when I first heard Elvis Presley. - Heart eak Hotel - Heart eak Hotel, magic, takes your ains. - You'll be lonely You'll be so lonely, you could die - It just seemed to me that that image was a very romantic image. I've always been in love with romance, you know, whether it was Robin Hood or Superman or the Lone Ranger, and I started thinking I could morph myself into this somehow, maybe if I could play the guitar. I've never talked about this in the song all these years, but I talk about the sacred store, and the sacred store is the House of Music on Main Street in New Rochelle, and that's where I bought my records, and that's where I bought my first guitar. And I started to learn. I learned three chords, and I was off to the races, but I drove everybody crazy. I'd play records over and over and over. Bo Diddley and Gene Vincent, all these great groups. I fell in love with Buddy Holly. dreamy music He had a rollicking sound. He was always full of joy and exuberance. A happy country boy sound with jingling and jangling guitars. And his songs were great. There was something else about Buddy Holly that he is only 21 or 22. He had a certain genius. He was a serious guy, you know. Country people were serious. You know, they've been through a lot, and they worked hard for their money. I mean, you go to Lubbock, Texas and all you see are cotton fields. Holly Tile was the company that the father had. Buddy would have been laying tile floors in bathrooms or picking cotton. - Where do you come from... Lubbock, Texas? - Lubbock, Texas, yes. - Right after high school, you started playing together? - Yes, sir, that's right. - You were a big hit right from the start or has it been sort of a long... - Well, we've had a few rough times, I guess you'd say, but we've been real lucky getting it this quick. - He had made recordings in Nashville, which were not successful. And then he went to Clovis, Mew Mexico, to Norman Petty's studio and recorded many of the same songs, including That'll Be The Day, and suddenly he had a number one record. Norman Petty was the difference. He knew what to do to commercialize Buddy Holly. There was a... an alchemy. He made magic. And knowing it was not only all over the country, but all around the world. eerie atmospheric music - We are very proud Iowa farmers. My grandfather started the tradition back in the 1920s. This is my son, and now Andrew and his cousin are involved in it. - This field has been in our family for generations, and it's really important to us because it's our livelihood, but also there's no other field in the countryside that's got more history than this field. - This is a place where one of the first big rock 'n' roll tragedies occurred. It's very simple, it's in the middle of a cornfield, it's not fancy, no flashing lights. This is where the music died. This is where the music died. - I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed ide - In 1971, I was just beginning to explore music, and American Pie was one of those songs. I listened to it over and over again. I had no idea that it had anything to do about Clear Lake or the farm that we owned. - This story in from Clear Lake, Iowa, three of the nation's top rock 'n' roll singing stars, Ritchie Valens, J.P. The Big Bopper Richardson, and Buddy Holly died today with their pilot in the crash of a chartered plane. - In 1979, when a local DJ named the Mad Hatter started the first Buddy Holly tribute, and then this gentleman, Ken Paquette, did the research and said, Okay, this is where the plane crashed. country music He put a monument out there, and people started coming searching for the place, so I had our welder make an extra big set of glasses, and I mounted 'em out there, and of course, that's kind of turned into a little bit of a monument in itself. When Don's song came out, it just lit up the enthusiasm and the interest in Buddy and in that story. Buddy and Ritchie and The Bopper, the guys were so young. Ritchie was only 17. That fateful night, they entertained a couple thousand fans. It all ended out here. Now this is a pilgrimage. People from all over the world travel here. We'll occasionally have a hayride out here, and we'll sing American Pie. Everybody knows that song. That is the song of our lives. - A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music Used to make me smile - American Pie, it's woven into the fa ic of America and our culture. - That I could make those people dance - It just sort of feels like it's always existed. It's just ubiquitous and predates time itself or something. - The day the music - I'm told we're the world's first all-vocal country band. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - American Pie, it's one of those songs that I have known as long as I can remember. - I've been singing that song my whole life. - I remember my mother singing that song to me, just as a song that never leaves you, it's just always there. - By the time I remember hearing that song on the radio, I feel like I already knew all the words. Did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above? - When our manager mentioned to us that Don was interested in doing a special edition of the song for its 50th anniversary and including us, we didn't even have to think about it. - Can music save your mortal soul? - We certainly felt a sense of responsibility, just being handed the reins to such an important, iconic song. - With a pink carnation and a pickup truck - Don put a lot of trust in us, and so, luckily, he was thrilled with what we came up with. He just added his vocal to the mix and it was magic. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry - The day the music died was such an earth-shattering moment, and then Don actually put it into words, what everybody was feeling, but wasn't really able to say. He used such incredible imagery and metaphors that allowed the audience to inject their own personal meaning into the song as well. dreamy music There's a lot of things that can unify us in strange ways. We're united in our grief and sense of loss. That is what Don was able to articulate through American Pie. Just the imagery of that chorus alone, the idea of a bunch of good old boys drinking whiskey and rye and singing, This'll be the day that I die. It's a horrible thing to be singing about, yet they're all singing about it together. - And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost - When he wrote it, we were kind of on the tail end of the two-minute pop song. Meanwhile, he comes out with this eight-minute song that gets played on the radio, and that's unheard of. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - Now we're in the age of TikTok where people don't want to see anything longer than a few seconds. Meanwhile, American Pie is still getting radio play all over the world. - Singing This'll be the day that I die - We were on tour in Europe. I was at some bar at 1:00 in the morning, and then American Pie came on, and everyone sang every word, and no one spoke any English. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee - There's something magical about it. Everyone knows that song. Everyone on the planet can sing a chorus of that song. It's transcendent. - Singing This'll be the day that I die cheers and applause cheerful music - My father wanted me to work, so I thought it was a cool idea, I could go deliver the paper, and that would be fun. I had a Sears Roebuck fat tire bike. It had no gears or anything. It was like riding a cast-iron lawn-mower, is what it was like. I like the romance of throwing the paper, and Yes, I'm the paper boy, that's right. I'll have your paper tomorrow, don't worry. You know, this kind of thing. It was cold. Fe uary in those days was cold. echoing Fe uary made me shiver And you can see my house, there's kind of a stoop, there's a cement block, and they would throw the papers on that, and they'd be bound up, and so you'd cut it open and start putting the papers in your sack. And one day I opened it up, and there was this story. echoing Bad news on the doorstep Three rock 'n' roll stars killed in plane crash, and it was my guy who was killed. Buddy was now dead. I was in absolute shock. Man, I read the whole story. I think I might have actually cried, it was that personal. I felt like, you know, you lost your first love, or you oke up with your first girlfriend. You know, that dark, horrible thing that comes over a teenager, you know, and it's like the end of the world. All of a sudden, you get this horrible death personally affecting me with this pain that I never had experienced before. So it just hurt. Can't intellectualize it. It hurt me. And then when that Buddy Holly Volume 1 came out right after, that just did me in because there were so many beautiful songs on there. echoing Something touched me deep inside You know, I was so touched and moved by this beautiful face, and nobody talked about him 'cause he was dead. Americans didn't talk about dead people. Onward. eerie atmospheric music - The original Winter Dance Party, it was kind of a mishmash. It was kind of a last minute tour that was put together all over the Midwest in the middle of January, when it was cold and windy and snowy and had a lousy bus without a heater. The heater kept eaking down, so you can imagine how cold it was on that bus. rockabilly music Buddy and Ritchie and The Bopper, these were the rock 'n' roll stars of the day. They all had top hits, and it was a thrill to have this group of artists come to little old Clear Lake, Iowa to perform on the stage at the Surf Ballroom. From the Surf, they were scheduled to go to Minnesota. Even in today's day and age, those are long treks. So when they got to Clear Lake, Buddy was tired of riding on that cold bus, and so he asked Carol Anderson, who was the manager of the Surf, to find a plane so they could fly to Fargo and play in Moorhead, Minnesota. muffled music music getting louder Ritchie Valens' La Bamba - Para bailar La Bamba Para bailar La Bamba Se necesito una poca de gracia - The show that night was a fabulous show. I mean, you can imagine. It was unbelievable. - Arriba, y arriba Y arriba, y arriba Por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti Yo no soy marinero Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán muffled Soy capitán, soy capitán - The show ended about after midnight. Waylon Jennings and Buddy had this exchange. Buddy said, I hope the bus eaks down. And Waylon says, I hope the plane crashes. - muffled Para bailar La Bamba Para bailar La Bamba Se necesito una poca de gracia tinny Una poca de gracia Para mi, para ti, y arriba, y arriba somber music - And Carol was the manager, he was the one that put 'em in the station wagon and took 'em out to the Mason City Airport. - I put 'em in the airplane, and I talked to all three of those boys that night before they got in the airplane. They were just kids. - They took off about 1:00, and to be honest, they weren't in the air very long. - I could see the taillight of the airplane, and the aircraft, in my opinion, was going down slowly, and it went down about three miles northwest of us. I said to the man in the tower with me, who was a weatherman, that the airplane was going down, and he said, No, that's an optical illusion, but I'd watched a lot of airplanes, and I hoped I was wrong. - Well, the FAA report says it was pilot error. Roger Peterson, who was a young Clear Lake kid, got disoriented and actually just wasn't able to read the instruments correctly, got discombobulated, and thought he was going up, and he was really descending, and just flew the plane into the ground. They couldn't have been in the air more than three or four minutes, maybe four or five miles. Their plane came down at a very high rate of descent because one of the wings cut a trench into the frozen ground. They skidded about 500 feet with the tail going up, and because there was a little bit of a ridge at the fence line. Jerry Dwyer actually got up the next morning and went out and got in a plane, 'cause he'd heard that they had not reached their destination. In just a couple of minutes after he was airborne, he radioed back to the airport, and then they called the Sheriff. - I did call to make sure that the people got out there as quick as they could. I was hoping that some of the people were still alive or maybe all of 'em, and it turned out they weren't, any of them. - It was a very tragic scene. A lot of officials, photographers. Something that Clear Lake never wished to be famous for. - Three of the nation's top rock 'n' roll singing stars, Ritchie Valens, J.P. The Big Bopper Richardson, and Buddy Holly died today with their pilot in the crash of a chartered plane. - A lot of family members heard it on the news rather than being notified. So it was a gruesome scene, and it was a real tragedy. laid-back music - I grew up in the middle of America. I grew up in Oklahoma. Dad worked in the oil fields, Golden Gloves boxing champion, former Marine Corps Korean War. My mom was a housewife, former singer who gave it up to raise six children, and I was the baby of the six. Mom loved Patsy. She loved Aretha, Jack Greene. Dad was more of the working man's stuff, so Jones, Haggard, Buck Owens, and there I was, the guy that was taking it all in. Me and my mom hung out a lot because I was the baby. So some days, you know, you'd be sick for school. We had one car, so we'd have to drive Dad in and out of Oklahoma City and go pick him up. And in that car ride, I remember hearing American Pie for the first time and just loving it. - Oh, and there we were, all in one place A generation lost in space - The youth that's in those drums, the youth that's in that piano, that's all over the place. - Come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick - And this soft voice that is so confident it earns its place among all that activity going on. It's fabulous. - Oh, and as I watched him on the stage - So I knew that song backward and forward before I could ever play guitar or anything. What I didn't know was how much of a song it would become for me. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Especially early in your career, it was fun, man, you'd try and shake it up, so you'd do sing-alongs at the end of the night, and American Pie was probably 90 of the time. Boys was drinking whiskey and rye It was always what we ended Willies with when I played colleges. We get a record label, and probably about the third day, there's a thing called Bull Run. Bull Run is this thing in DC where they're gonna put about 12 acts on stage. People are going to know the last two or three, but all the ones up front, they kind of sit through. I'm one of those sit through guys, 'cause we don't have anything out yet. Right after the first song, the big downbeat, something goes wrong, Everything is out, everything except my guitar and my mic. And the first line out of my mouth... I'll remember it the rest of my life, was... A long, long time ago And you just watch the whole place stop. The guy going up to get a beer stopped, turns, and you see it. They came in. They don't know who this guy is, but he's singing probably the greatest song in music history, and they're all singing with you. And at that point, not only did I have them, more importantly, I knew they had me. But to take it on to the next level and see it happen there too, it was just amazing. eerie atmospheric music - I had been doing extremely poorly in school. I was a freshman at Iona Preparatory School, Catholic, taught by Irish Christian others. They looked like priests, and it was very Dickensian. My mother had gone away, and I'm waiting for this horrible report card to come home. My father's in a good mood. You know, I think, Oh, man, when this happens, he ain't gonna be in a good mood. So the report card comes. My father, he looked at this thing, and he said, This is awful, and you cannot go on like this, and what is gonna become of you? Course, it wasn't low-key. He was yelling, you know, 'cause he had a temper. He felt all this silliness with music was impinging on and diminishing my schoolwork. So I went to sleep. It's like 1:00 in the morning, and all of a sudden, my father has his arms around his chest. He comes in to me and he's crying. He's saying, God, help me. Ambulance came, the police came, and they had him wrapped up on a stretcher. They're inging him down the stairs, and he just looked up at me and he smiled. Two hours later, I'm sleeping. The door opens, and my uncle is there. He said, There's some bad news for you, Donny, and he told me. Your father died tonight. somber music I am ruined. I mean, I was really mad. That was very painful, and it lasted a long time. It was almost like the happy '50s were over. When my father died, home left me, 'cause it wasn't there anymore. You can imagine how important music became to me, creating something out of myself, moving away from all this. Once I had the guitar going, this folk thing started. I'd just write songs and follow my instincts. And I started playing around town. I would plan a concert almost every month. It was now about 1964, so I was about 18, and I had quit school 'cause I wanted to be a singer. - John Henry, when he was a baby Settin' down on his mammy's knee - But now I was learning songs that had substance of some kind. They weren't little songs. They were big songs. Woody Guthrie's Roll On, Columbia was a big song about the Columbia River and the men that built the Grand Coulee Dam. - There's a great and peaceful river In a land that's fair to see - A song like Roll On, Columbia, you start about talking about our country took the challenge, so you describe how it was. - Roll, Columbia, won't you roll, roll, roll - And each time, Roll on, Columbia. - Won't you roll, roll, roll - And then you're talking about these mighty men labored by day and by night to build this thing. - Seldom you see such a beautiful sight - Third verse, you're understanding what's happening. And by the fourth verse, you hear that chorus, I mean, it all makes sense. That's the key. - Roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Your power is turning our darkness to dawn So roll on - Tutti Frutti and Don't Be Cruel are fabulous small songs, and they changed the world with those simple songs, but these songs were more complicated and more interesting in terms of what they're teaching you about your country and about yourself. You know, who are we as Americans? A guy like me thought, Wow, gee, I could write a song like that with a little chorus in between and a little story, and a little chorus, and a little story, and that's what American Pie does. - Well, come on, let's go, let's go Let's go, little darlin' And tell me that you'll never leave me - I'm Connie Valens. Ritchie Valens was my other. - Again, again, and again Well now, swing - The classic car show, it's about the time, it's about the '50s, just like my other. You know, there's still an innocence there. There's a purity. gentle music We were born in the San Fernando Valley. Ritchie, he was just real warm, real loving, very protective. He discovered he was a pretty good singer and guitar player. My mom used to say he could make that guitar cry. The next thing you know, he's touring. Everything was just happening so fast. He was 17 with a big dream. My sister and I were walking home from school, and somebody said, Your other's dead. We just held hands and started running towards our house. somber music Mama was sitting in the middle of the living room, and she turned around and looked at me, and she just looked so sad, and she just said that Ritchie had been killed. I remember just dropping to my knees and putting my head in her lap, and she just put her hand on my head. And that was the beginning of a very dark time in our lives. The Surf is the cathedral of rock 'n' roll. This is the last place he was, and a little part of him will always be here, and every time I walk in, I feel it. And sometimes I just come up on the stage, and I stand where he stood. And it's like he's still with us. He always will be. - Oh, Donna, oh, Donna - I first heard of Don McLean and American Pie in the '70s when it was released. - Donna was her name - I thought he did a beautiful job. Obviously, he felt something very near and dear in the tragedy. It was so heartfelt, and the lyrics are just beautiful. I thought it was pretty cool that somebody would care enough to do that. - Oh, Donna, oh - We were all very touched. It was another little bit of healing for our family. - There was this inch-square advertisement in the New York Times, said, Pete Seeger sings for Hudson River sloop. I got in my car, and it was a little concert in Garrison, New York, directly across from West Point. And then I find Osborne's Castle, which is where this event was held. The castle was way up on the hill, but there was this low area with rolling fields. - I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield Down by the riverside - Seeger, he plays banjo on this plywood stage and the one microphone, and then during a eak, I introduced myself, and he knew who I was because I'd been writing him since junior high school. And he liked me and he asked me to be on a concert in 1968. And I got right involved with that, right away. Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye - He took me under his wing and ought me around and had me open for him or be a guest on his show, and then he put this gang of singers together, and I was part of that. - Well, I thought I heard the captain say - Suddenly, I'm in this whole world. It's art, it's recordings, it's live performing. Seeger took us to the Newport Folk Festival in 1969. That was a big deal. It's still one of the high points of my entire life. Van Morrison, James Taylor, Muddy Waters was there. Somehow or other, they let the Everly Brothers come to Newport... Rock 'n' roll. - Gimme rock 'n' roll music Whoo, any old way you choose it - Wow. They came on stage, and they were incredible. - If you knew, Peggy Sue Just how my heart yearned for you, oh, Peggy - I had been reading, you know, what little bit I could, and I knew that the Everlys were very close to Buddy Holly. - I need you, Peggy Sue - So after the show was over, I had to say hello to them. So I went to Phil Everly, and I said, You know, I know that you knew Buddy Holly. Could you tell me a little bit about him and what happened? He said, We were very good friends, he said, And Buddy decided to take a plane to get out ahead of the tour to get his laundry done. He died for dirty laundry, I thought to myself. Wow. Man, he's a human being with a sack of dirty clothes. Gee, the whole thing started coming back. Front and center, it was absolutely haunting me now. - A long, long time ago When you look back at Garth Brooks' career, if you remember anything from it, you'll remember Central Park will be the crown jewel. 1997, August 7, beautiful night. And I knew if I had my chance - Garth Brooks, I'd heard about him singing. American Pie from the beginning when he was just getting started. Then bigger, bigger, bigger, every year, bigger, always singing this song. So the big word now is that he's gonna play Central Park. - With every paper I'd deliver - So I get a fax, he wants me to be on the show. - I couldn't take one more step We had a million people show up, live TV. It could not be going better, and then we go into our final leg of our stuff, and knowing that you're about to tell these people that Don McLean's gonna come out and sing American Pie, you were 16-foot tall. You knew it. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a great honor and a great privilege, Mr. Don McLean. cheers and applause And when I introduced him, God, he looked fantastic. He came out with that smile, and he gets to be the guy in the cape. And he wears the cape well, man. - Sing the chorus again! Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry - He comes out, and he just gets that big old guitar going, and it's just a little slower, so you see all million people just kind of lean in, and everybody's inner child comes out. - And I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play I like a crowd that's happy, And they were very happy. It was a summer night, and they were loose, and they were ready, and I love that. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry - American Pie isn't about a nation as much as it is about that drive of independence, that drive of discovery, that drive of believing anything is possible. Freedom within you. Okay now, New York. We want to hear just you guys singing. We were singin'... all: Bye-bye... - People found a road map in this song that is a million different things to a million different people. American Pie is one of those few songs you can stand behind and go, This is what the power of music is. both: Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - Talk about the perfect night needs the perfect ending, how about pulling one of the greatest singer-songwriter artists in history out? How about him singing his ass off, and then, oh, yeah, this could quite possibly be the greatest song in music history that you get to end the biggest night of your career on. Don McLean! cheers and applause I think you're looking at a 50-year-old song that gets prettier every year, classier every year. This thing... This thing is timeless, because no one's ever written anything like it since. country music - I graduated in 1968 with this degree that I knew I'd never use. In 1969, I had just been out of school a year and I had a three-album deal with Media Arts Records. And if she asks you why You can then tell her that I told you That I'm tired of castles in the air I moved up to the Hudson River. Hills of forest green Where the mountains touch the sky I lived in this little gate house to an estate in Cold Spring, New York. It was pretty primitive. No heat, very cold in the winter, but I rented it very inexpensively. Save me from all the trouble and the pain Up on the second floor, there was a tiny little bedroom, and there was a chair I put rockers on, and I would rock on that thing and type on my little typewriter and write songs. Why I can't remain I was writing furiously now. I was inspired by the people that I met, the artists, the writers, the scientists, the political people. And the first album I made was called Tapestry. And I'm making Tapestry in 1969 in Berkeley, California, and there'd be a small riot every day I was making that record. They are gassing the guys coming to the sessions, like, every day, so I'm thinking, it's crazy, what's gonna happen to the country now? Things are getting worse. We had had numerous assassinations throughout the '60s. The Kennedy assassination, Martin Luther King, and RFK. We had the war in Vietnam. Rage against Nixon and the chaotic insanity that was out there. It oke up families, tearing the whole place apart. The country was in an advanced state of psychic shock. Drugs everywhere. Everybody's smoking dope and sleeping with everybody else. And all this bedlam and riots and burning cities, and I'm always standing back trying to read the signs. All right, what's this mean? You know, and tried to put it somehow in my simple way into some of these songs. I was working on this second record, but I wasn't happy with it, and so I said, I got to have a big song about America. I just really knew I wanted to do this. One day, I was up there sitting on the little bed, and I turned this tape recorder on, and I just started singing... A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile recording And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But Fe uary made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed ide live But something touched me deep inside The day the music died I said, whoa. What is that? This whole thing was coming up in me, for all those years before of thinking of Buddy, and it all came out right through to the day the music died. Every single word I wrote just came like a genie out of a bottle. And I said to myself, Wow, I got something. So I'm thinking as a few weeks went by, I don't want this to be a ballad, so I got to write a hot chorus. I waited a long time, and then I came up with this crazy chorus. recording So bye-bye, Miss American Pie I drove me Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singing, This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I had already written about the idea, the Holly thing was now right front and center, and so I said, This'll be the day that I die. I had to have that in there. You know, that way I keep it flowing forward in the chorus. It was from, That'll Be the Day That I Die. Buddy learned that phrase from The Searchers, the John Wayne movie where the Duke says, That'll be the day. And there was a song that Pete Seeger used to sing, and it was called Bye-bye, My Roseanna. And he would sing... both: Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye Bye-bye, my Roseanna And that bye-bye thing stayed in my head, I think, from that one, so I put it in there. I chose American Pie, because you're as American, as apple pie, but I just dropped the apple out, and I said, American Pie, whoa, that's great. I knew I had the tiger by the tail. stirring music I got this hot chorus, and I got this beautiful opening, and now I'm thinking, well, where do I go with this? 'Cause I want to write a song about America, but I don't want to write a song like anybody ever wrote about America before. birds chirping stirring music - I was second-generation, 'cause I grew up in a Greek household. I was born in San Francisco, only there for a year, in LA another year, and then grew up in Gary, Indiana. Before even I'm an artist, I'm somebody who's just interested in the humanities and in history, you know, and philosophy, especially, and poetry. And a lot of these people that I've sculpted have pressed the boundaries of things. They wanted to see a better world, they wanted to be part of that. Don, I had seen him in a show, The American Dream Machine, and I thought, wow. It was so sensitive, and he was reshaping how I thought about the ecology. I said I'd like to sculpt him, and I think the first time he sat, he played the guitar for ten hours straight. Then he came here and did the same thing right in this very room. He doesn't miss a thing. He's very open to the muse, so all that goes into the music. American Pie is War and Peace. It's the Moby Dick. It's the big novel. He has a narrative like a dream. You create all the characters in your dreams, so you're part of all of them. You know, the jester and the king. He was there at the right time and captured so much of that history that he was part of too, but he knows that history so well. If Don hadn't written American Pie, no one would ever have written it. See, it's unique to who he was, where in space and time he grew up. We're in front of my Freedom Sculpture. You see the struggle to eak free. And I wanted to put a poet in my sculpture, and the poet in my life, besides reading Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot and others, was Don McLean. Don's song, American Pie, is an epic song, not just because of its length, but because of its scope, and I wanted to have some sense of that in my sculpture. American Pie is an open-ended piece. It's not so specific that you can't put yourself in there. What happens with Don McLean's song, and with this for me, is if you leave it open-ended, you're inviting people to participate and to have a dialogue with you, to make themselves part of it, and they become very emotionally involved. With Don, American Pie, there are little mysteries, and Don is about mystery with his music. He even talks about his song, American Pie, being a kind of a dream. Turning your dreams into reality is what we do as artists. Tim Hardin's Bird on the Wire I was working on this American Pie song, and I had eight or nine songs that were going to go on the album, and now the question was how to make a good record out of it. - I have tried in my way - I heard a couple of records, one by Tim Hardin called Bird on a Wire. - Tried in my way - Ooh, I liked that record. There was some nice things on there. - Free - Ed Freeman is the producer, so I said, I want this guy, Ed Freeman. - Don came over to my apartment in New York and played me some songs, and I wasn't all that impressed, frankly. But I needed a job, so I thought, well, okay. And then, slowly, as we started working, I started realizing, oh, wait a minute, this guy is the real deal. - I had the album, I knew how I wanted it to sound, I had the producer. It was all progressing, but I didn't have the big one, and the big one had to blow them all away. - I remember Don played me the first verse and chorus of American Pie, and he said he hadn't finished writing it at that point, so I said, You should finish that, that it sounds like it could be a hit. - Now I'm thinking, well, where do I go with this? 'Cause I want to write a song about the new America, which is rock 'n' roll, which is people's involvement in politics and the connection between all that, rather than, you know, My Country, 'Tis of Thee, or This Land is your Land. So bye-bye, Miss American Pie I drove my Chevy to the levee The chorus came out, and then when I had that, I said, well, I've got the engine now to get this thing going. All I've got to do is sing the slow part of the song to a rock 'n' roll beat. In other words, and take A long, long time ago. Did you write the book of love? It's the same thing, sped up to rock 'n' roll. Did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above? And it must have been a month or two later, I wrote all the verses in, like, an hour. Do you believe in rock and roll? I was building it. I could hear it. I could feel it, that something was going on, bigger than me. I was trying to create some sort of an abstract, dream-like story about America. Well, I know that you're in love with him I, I saw you dancing in the gym The song came to me in one shot. There were a lot of spiral notebook pages, and I say how the song is gonna be constructed, I make a little blueprint of the song. In a coat he borrowed from James Dean, and a voice After I wrote the whole thing, I'm sure I sat down, and I was still trying to figure out how to get out of it. And when he'd had enough of that He pinched the queen and passed the hat You know, it couldn't end and it couldn't fade, so I didn't know what to do. So I thought, well, the only thing I can do is slow down like it started. Perfect. Exactly right. And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost - Then, of course, he finished American Pie, and I thought, well, no radio station is gonna play this thing because it's 8.5 minutes long, but it's a really good song. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie I just knew I had something that I thought was incredibly great and fun, but that nobody else might dig at all. Singing, This'll be the day that I die That's enough for today, laughs martial music - Welcome to Philadelphia. It's a beautiful city on a beautiful day, and it's my pleasure to show you my hometown. This building right here is the true ground zero of the United States. Independence Hall established justice. This is where the Declaration of Independence promote the general welfare. The articles of Confederation ensure domestic tranquility, and the Constitution of the United States were all written and signed. That is the birthplace of the United States. My name is Clark DeLeon, and I saw Don McLean sing. American Pie for the first time. dreamy music The story was that Don performed American Pie for the first time at Temple University, but I know this happened at St. Joe's University at the field house. I am a columnist at the Philadelphia Inquirer, so I wrote about it, I talked to Don McLean and I just set the record straight. And then when I called him up, he readily admitted it. It was March, it was a rainy day. My wife and I went to see Laura Nyro. Now, Don McLean was just a throw in and the opening act. So we got there, and this field house, I remember we were sitting in the side. He came out and was just... Immediately had the crowd, but then he said, I've got this new song. It's so new, I haven't even learned all the words. And he said, I'm gonna need some help from the audience here. Can you... and he holds it to a young woman. Would you mind holding these up? while he began the song. - A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile In '70, I was still doing double bills, and I was opening for Laura Nyro. After I had written the song and I had all the handwritten pages and stuff, I went and typed up something so I could remember it, and I seem to remember that I had a little girl come out of the crowd, and I gave her the lyrics to hold, and I sang the song. And while Lennon read a book on Marx - The actual singing of the song got lost in my memory of all these words, you know, and you didn't know what the song was about, you just knew it had a really snappy chorus. And of course, by the end of it, everyone's singing American Pie. It was great. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - What was the crowd reaction? - Not much. Okay. Because the song was so different, they never heard anything like it. This'll be the day that I die You know, you can get immediate reaction from an audience, it doesn't necessarily mean the song's any good. You know, this had to be made into a record. The day that I die - By the end of the song, you knew something was going on. He said, you might be hearing this soon. He said that from the stage, and he was right. atmospheric music - One of the most talented young singer-songwriters I know, his name is Don McLean, and he's just written a and-new song that has got me bugged. I can't get it out of my head, even though I can't sing it right. It's a history of rock 'n' roll in six verses, and it's got a beautiful chorus. Now, believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever sung the song. Long, long time ago, I can still remember How that music used to make me smile - The record label, they weren't entirely secure about Don at all. At one point, the head of A&R called me up and said, This guy is a no-talent. Those were his exact words. - The day the music died Now, I suppose I have the drummers and everybody else coming in here. - We recorded in studio A at the Record Plant on 48th Street. - We started to work together. It was a contentious relationship. - We had some terrible disagreements. We used to stand out in the hallway, and I would start conversations with, The trouble with you is, Don... laughs You know? - Oh, well, he didn't even want me to play guitar on the record. - But I did not appreciate his rhythm guitar playing, and originally I wanted to replace it with a studio guitarist. - I said, well, I'm playing guitar on the record, okay? Here I was, coming into his life as crazy as I could be. He wasn't all that sane either, but at the same time, he ought in wonderful players and wrote some beautiful strings. He was very talented. And so, I was being constantly thrilled. I had Empty Chairs, I had Crossroads, I had Winter Wood. I had the album, but I didn't have the big one. Did you write the book of love? Do you have faith in God above? - American Pie, we put together in the rehearsal studio. Don was not really comfortable playing with a rhythm section. What I did with Don is I got him together with a couple of players who were very good, but weren't hardcore studio players, and we rehearsed for two weeks. - Well, I know that you're in love with him - It was just myself, Don, Freeman, and I believe, the drummer, Roy Markowitz. So it was just Don and a rhythm section, kind of bare bones. - We started rehearsals. This is a struggle. In a way, American Pie, it kept sounding like a polka, and it really annoyed me. I said, this is really bad. The day we're recording American Pie, we still didn't have it right. The groove, we don't have it. To Ed Freeman's credit, he would come up with things that would just save everything, and he ings a young man to the session named Paul Griffin. - We added the electric guitar and Paul Griffin on piano at the last minute. I had worked with Griffin before. I knew he was the right guy. piano music - Griffin had never heard the song in his life, so here we are trying it for the first time. - We stumbled through a few takes. Paul Griffin, he didn't really know what to do with the first verse, and he was very nervous. - And they put my guitar in his earphones. guitar riffing And I hit that thing hard, and I play it loud. And all of a sudden, Griffin, he starts playing this thing. lively piano He's going, Whoa! And he starts playing the piano like a gospel stride piano. He's just rolling and rocking and kicking it here and backing off there and, you know, just changing everything as we're moving along and building from verse to verse. - Paul Griffin was the hero. He was just an amazing cat. Gospel, jazz, chops... Just such a monster. - Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye I'm kicking his ass, you know, and he's kicking my ass, and the two of us together making the drummer go where he's supposed to go, and everybody else falls in line. - The track was just, like, so rocking, man. - Well, I knew we were where we were supposed to be. It felt great. It was jumping and, you know, it was what I wanted. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - There was that one take where it was just magic, and it just happened. - Boys were drinking whiskey and rye Paul Griffin, he came in at the last moment, and Hail Mary pass, saved the whole dang thing. I said, that's it! - When they finished, I just hit the talk back, and I said, Y'all better come in here and take a listen to this. And everybody was high-fiving each other and dancing around. It was clear to everybody, we all knew it was great. dreamy music Well, then we did the vocals. - I sang the song probably about 30 times, singing things that were very riffy, you know, high notes. Ed didn't like that. - We went to the mat about that more than once. What I ended up doing is recording a lot of vocals and then splicing together the parts that I considered iconic. But we got it, in the end. - Well, finally, we got a coherent mix and vocal. Everything was right, and it was very good. - I think the only thing that we were in agreement about, is that we were both fiercely committed to this song being a masterpiece. We were not leaving the studio until this thing was illiant, and we didn't, and it is. country music - You have freedom to be whoever you want to be. You have a right to dream in the US. It's the American Dream. RCA Studios is definitely one of the most beautiful studios I've ever been in my entire life. My second record, Different Kinds of Light, I cut here. But now I've got to return and do this amazing song here. Fe uary made me shiver indistinct American Pie in the UK, literally everywhere at the end of a night. Yeah, everyone will have a beer in hand and be singing that in a camaraderie way. I just remember being extremely struck by that song. This thing about the melody that feels completely timeless. - Are you ready? - Yeah, I'll give it a go, see what happens. A long, long time ago - Think it's the album cover, right? I think I know the album cover as much as I know the song. I mean, the Captain America thumb, I mean, come on. It's this chord. - Yeah, I think it's... - Whatever that is. Honestly, this song is terrifying to cut. I woke up this morning, had a little panic attack about it. I think she did too, because it's such an iconic song you've heard a million times. It is so ingrained in people's mind, and so to even dare touch it or try to reinvent it is pretty crazy. - A long, long time ago, I can still remember How that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance It made me feel sad when I was singing the start of the song. The somberness of, you know, Bye-bye, Miss American Pie, the story of that, I felt that pretty heavy today. So bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee To be telling a story like Don's, to be telling a story like American Pie, with Dave, with these incredible musicians, and to be a part of that, I feel, like, genuinely, truly honored. This'll be the day that I die It is a masterpiece. There's a reason it's been around for 50 years. Oh, did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above? If the Bible tells you so? - I'm Rudy Perez, and I was born in Pinar Del Río, Cuba. I remember the first time I heard American Pie, it must have been in '76. It was a song that drew you in deeply. - Real slow - Everybody can relate to that song. American Pie crossed generations and is still resonating with people today. - You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues, oh - With the turmoil that's still going on, that song is still very up-to-date. I mean, it's just magical. - But I knew I was out of luck the day - When I listen to American Pie, it just reminds me of what America means to me. America means freedom. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry - I think the song American Pie has just always echoed through the United States' history. It's almost like a national anthem of sorts to a lot of people. - This'll be the day that I die Newsweek magazine came out with this big article about the top ten dying cities in the United States. My hometown, Grand Rapids, Michigan, was one of them, and we were like, you know what, we need to strike back against this. - When the jester sang for the king and queen - We were like, let's make this lip dub video and just pack it full of everyone with all the energy and fight back and say, this is who we are. The track that I chose, American Pie, it felt so full of Americana and this hope for the future, and it felt representative of the city and what we were trying to do. - No verdict was returned - We loved it because it spoke to dark times in our country's history, as well as to our hope that we could change it and that we could uplift ourselves to a higher place. - The music died - Grand Rapids, Michigan was American Pie. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - All of these people singing it out in the streets together, they associated with that song, and they knew that it meant something and that it did represent what this town was about, the all-American story that we still idealize, that we still want to be true. - The day The music died funky music - American Pie really hit the nail on the head. The record company, they loved it and sent me over to a man named George Whiteman, who was a fashion photographer, and he had a big studio and long-legged ladies were coming in and kissing Georgie, Oh, Georgie. He says, Hi Don, you know, I heard the record. Great record. Come on inside. I'm gonna paint your thumb. So he painted my thumb, and then I looked down the guitar. And the thing is that there are children's nursery rhymes in American Pie. You know, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick. So he went one step further... Little Jack Horner sat in the corner, eating his Christmas pie, put in his thumb and pulled out a plum, and said, what a good boy am I. That's not in the song, but the implication is that, you now, it's another nursery rhyme. I said, absolutely right, perfect. I would have never thought of it in 100 million years. stirring music And then, about two weeks later, we get the word that United Artists is buying Media Arts Records. Mainly because they love American Pie. They think it's a hit record and a hit album, and they're all excited. Everything took off like a rocket. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry - It went from zero to number one so fast. - This'll the day that I die This'll be the day that I die American Pie blew up the world. Now, for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat - The album and the single became number one, and it stayed up there for weeks and weeks. - It was the longest hit record that had ever been released. - Three minutes was the limit to any song, but American Pie just oke that rule. It was just a complete phenomenon. - People heard the short version of the song on the radio, and they heard the long version on the album, and they called up all the radio stations and said, we want to hear the whole thing when you play the top 40. So now they all had to make decisions, do we play this one guy's song? We've got to give him 8.5 minutes? But they did it, played it off the album. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - There was a radio station, I remember, in New York that played it over and over, end to end with nothing else for eight hours in a row. - This'll be the day that I die - It was just unheard of. - This'll be the day that I die So I'm thinking, this is amazing, and I'm loving it. There's never been a phenomenon like American Pie. I was smiled on. I was as surprised as anybody that I could make magic. dreamy music - The more I listened to it, I thought, wow, this is like an epic. American Pie was really encapsulating the experience of a whole generation. We were witness to the death of the American dream. We went through both Kennedys being shot, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Vietnam, you know, hippies thought we were gonna take over the world with love and peace... And it didn't happen. For me, American Pie is the eulogy for a dream that didn't take place. It was real important that way. I think we all needed it. It was an acknowledgment of what we had been through, and in a way, because it was an acknowledgment, we could move on. stirring music - Here we go, Don McLean. Take two, mark. - I feel like I want to talk about the actual writing of the song. - Okay. I'm trying to do a kaleidoscopic, dream-like, impressionistic, yet understandable thing. The first verse of the song is biographical. Long, long time ago I can still remember how that music Used to make me smile Buddy was like a lost other or somebody that died in the war or... There was this yearning I had in me always, and I could never talk to anybody about it, because it was just all in me. The day the music died So let's see now, the second verse... How's it go? Do you remember? laughs Now do you believe in rock 'n' roll? Can music save your mortal soul? Can music save your mortal soul? See, that's the theology in me coming out. In the church, they only talk about your immortal soul. I'm saying, can music save your mortal soul, as a man, now, being alive? Well, I know that you're in Well, I know that you're in love with him 'cause I saw you dancing in the gym. You both kicked off your shoes. You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues. So this is all me, little old me, seeing other kids being happy and hearing the music going on behind them, and seeing other things happen that I wasn't a part of. Yeah, I was a lonely teenage oncin' buck. Now, that's a take off on having onchial asthma. I was onching, but I was still a stallion, you know what I mean? I was a lonely teenage oncin' buck With a pink carnation... And a pickup truck, but I knew I Sure, I went to a lot of proms, but I never had a pickup truck, but I could have anything I wanted in my songs. Since my father died, I have no family. You know, I have my mother, but my mother and I went sort of different ways. Oh, for ten years we've been on our own That's me talking, For ten years I've been on my own. Moss grows fat on a rolling stone. I think I was putting on weight. I thought I was, you know, getting fat and lazy and stuff. When the jester sang for the king and queen When the jester sang for the king and queen. Now, there's been this discussion about the jester over and over. You know, I certainly would have mentioned Dylan's name if I had meant to mention him. I would have said Bob or something else, but I didn't, 'cause it ain't him. The king, I say, The jester stole his thorny crown. I didn't mention Elvis Presley, because Elvis did not have a thorny crown. Jesus Christ has a thorny crown. If I'd wanted to say Elvis instead of the King, I would have said Elvis. I say James Dean in the song. So what you have is this mythology that I'm inventing of this insulting, happy jester. Oh, I'll just grab the king's crown off his head and see if he laughs at that, see if that's funny. And while Lennon read a book on Marx And Lennon read a book on Marx. Well, that applies to both John Lennon and the real Lenin. chuckles Communism radicalized John Lennon, and Lenin was radicalized by Marx. So now the next verse is... Helter-skelter in the summer swelter Eight miles high definitely came from the name of a song. Eight miles high and falling fast I thought that was a great song. The eight miles high idea, I loved that. Now, there was a song that Josh White used to sing called Bottle Up and Go. There I am in the grass Mm-mmm a forward pass You got to bottle up and go So that was the idea of a forward pass in the grass. The grass, the players tried for a forward pass With a jester on the sidelines. That meant, this wasn't funny anymore. This wasn't funny at all. The halftime air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune And then the rest of the lyric is about the people trying to take over, and they would be pushed back by the marching band, the military-industrial complex. The marching band refused to yield I was always marching against the war in Vietnam. We were constantly being pushed aside in this relentless desire to destroy Southeast Asia. There we were all in one place The generation lost in space. We're out in the middle of an endless universe. None of us are important except to each other, and we're all lost in space, because the war was hotter than it ever was before. I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news I met a girl who sang the blues, I asked her for some happy news. Well, you see, I'd gotten the bad news in the front of the song. Now I'm asking her for some happy news at the end of the song. But she just smiled and turned away And you know how it is when a woman or anybody smile and turn away like that? She knew something, but she wasn't gonna say anything. She doesn't give me good news. And I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before Went down to the sacred store. Now I'm going back to New Rochelle. They said, The music doesn't play anymore, Don. The country was headed in the wrong direction, toward an evil god of some sort, and that's how the song ends. And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost The three men I admire most, caught the last train for the coast, so even God has been corrupted. He's going to Los Angeles. laughs bombastic music - A long, long time ago lived a lonely newspaper boy. I'm Peter Gallagher. I'm an actor and singer. I'm here to read an audiobook all inspired by Don McLean's epic, American Pie. He never missed a porch or a sidewalk with his finely crafted fling. What this song and this story provides all of us is the chance for us to recognize what we share in terms of the past. His bike transformed into a stealthy steed. It's just a whole world in there, and you can hear and see in it what you need to hear and see in any given moment. The newspaper boy gently picked up the guitar and slung it over his shoulder. I was eager to contribute to something that might make people feel connected again. Something had touched him deep inside. - We started singin' My, my, this here Anakin guy May be Vader someday later, Now he's just a small fry Well, in 1999 when Star Wars was coming out with the Phantom Menace, so I knew I wanted to write a song parody about Star Wars. And I flashed on the idea of using American Pie, because it's one of my all-time favorite songs. We finally got to Coruscant I think American Pie is eternal. There's some magic baked into that song. How good the boy could be When The Saga Begins came out, it was a huge hit on Radio Disney, so a lot of pre-teens were listening to the song. They didn't know American Pie, they just thought, oh, it's a funny Weird Al song about Star Wars. The following year, Madonna did a cover version of American Pie, like, kind of a disco version, and all these kids were thinking, how come Madonna is doing an unfunny version of a Weird Al song? laughs - singing in Spanish - I remember when you called me. Hey, doing the remake of 'American Pie, ' our version, putting Spanish in it. I was like, man, are you kidding me? What an honor, no- ainer. - I mean, it's such a classic. - It's just so powerful. singing in Spanish - Jencarlos, he really understood how to, someway, say the same story of the original song, but in Spanish. I knew about the song since I was like 12. My dad had it. It's such an impactful song. - singing in Spanish Again, bye-bye, Miss American Pie - You know how many times growing up that song played? - I've been singing this song as a fan for so many years. Them good old boys I see it as us, from our culture, tipping our hats off to the original. The day that I die Still, to date, that song has transcended. It's still so inspiring. What a masterpiece. - And there we were all in one place A generation lost in space When I first heard American Pie, I said, hey, what is this new record I'm listening to? You know, and I listened and listened, and I was so blown away because he takes you on a journey. It's like, each verse is different, he goes through different phases. I love the melody, and of course, Don's lyrics are really great. You both kicked off your shoes We both kicked off our shoes, and I dig those rhythm and blues. As the flames climbed high into the night Don, well, he's up there with the best of them. He's just a very, very talented songwriter, and he deserves his success. Thank you. cheering all: We were singin' Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - I was doing a TV show called Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, and after my character dies, the entire cast sing American Pie. all: Singing, this'll be the day that I die - It was amazing to see just how powerful that song is, still. It really is timeless. - I met a girl who sang the blues - Zoey's was a show that I was executive music producer for and produced a lot of songs, none better or bigger than American Pie for the finale of the season. - I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music - As a songwriter, it's the kind of song you dream about writing, that has meaning and has depth, has relevance, and is something that continues to be relevant to generations, you know, ongoing. - In the streets, the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed American Pie has always been a part of my life. You know, when my dad drove me to preschool, we were listening to it. My dad wanted me to know the history of that song, because it's important. It's heavy. It's meaningful. And the three men I admire the most There's a world that's created with this song that is our world, but also isn't. It's more tragic and it's more beautiful. The day The music died stirring music - Don, my name's Jeff Nicholas. I'm president of the Surf, I want to welcome you to the Surf Ballroom. - Pleasure to be here. - I'd like to show you the ballroom a little bit. - Definitely. - Yeah. So the ballroom was designed to simulate walking out on the beach and dancing under the deep blue sky. We kind of consider it the soundstage of American music. - Well, it's certainly an important place. - American boy - American boy - Invented rock 'n' roll - Rock 'n' roll - All that stuff from the late '40s right on through to the mid '60s, that music is the essence of everything. - They caused a sensation - So here we are, walking on the stage of American music. - Shook up the nation - American boy - The original stage ended right here. - So you mean Buddy would be standing here? - Buddy would have stood here, Waylon would have stood here, and Tommy also would have been here, and you know, Carl Bunch, the drummer, was still in the hospital in Green Bay with frostbitten fingers and toes. They mixed and matched. Buddy would play drums, and Ritchie would play drums, and everybody, they just figured out a way to make the show. - And I've been thinking about Buddy Holly a lot. When I came up with that original part of the song, it came out in a sad, poignant way. - When American Pie came on, that was the time I believed that the focus started to be back on those guys. - Well, I remember the song was number one, and they started playing Buddy's music on the radio again. Buddy ought me to life, I ought Buddy to life. laughs - Oh, my goodness. - How do you do? - How do you do? What a pleasure and an honor, Mr. McLean. Thank you. Thank you. I have a little something I want to say. I just want to thank you for writing The Day the Music Died. You immortalized my other, JP, and Buddy. You took a terrible tragedy and made rock 'n' roll history. Thank you. Thank you so much. See that up there? - I hardly don't know what to say. - A friend of ours painted that, and all around that is our family. Everybody signed it. - Your other is very important, more important now than ever. - Ritchie was a rock 'n' roll pioneer. - He was. - The first time I heard your song, I had to keep listening to it, because I thought, Oh, my gosh. He's singing about my other. He's singing about the... you know, the day the music died. - If the song helps people love that music the way I do and the way I did, then that's something I did in my life that I'm very proud of. We should never forget this music. - Never. - And these guys were incredibly important. This was and-new at the time. - Yes. - Ritchie was only 17. - He was only 17. - So he started working as a musician, making some money, and then he bought his Fender guitar. - That's... yeah, that's right. - So that's when he developed that great sound on that guitar. - Yes. - You know, it's that sort of edgy, heavy sound, you know... imitates guitar You know, it's got that thing to it, very distinctive. - Para bailar La Bamba - You know, he sang that traditional La Bamba, which he probably sang with your family. - Well, he made it rock 'n' roll though. - Yeah. What's it about? - Para bailar La Bamba, to dance the Bamba, Se necesito una poca de gracia, we need a little grace. Poquito para ti, poquito para mi, a little for you, a little for me. Una poca de gracia, para mi, para ti Y arriba, y arriba Higher and higher. - Great. - Yeah. - So it's simple lyrics, but just so great. - It is, yeah. - Well, thank you for coming here. This is a big deal for me. - Thank you so much. God bless you. - You take care now. - I will. Thank you. dreamy music - My name is Nelson Crabb, and I happen to be the mayor of Clear Lake, Iowa. Fe uary 3rd of 1959, I was a freshman at Rutgers University. Going back one Sunday, when on the car radio, I heard about this terrible accident just north of town here. The car got quiet, and, you know, very, very sad time, but tonight is when we cele ate the music of those three gentlemen, and tonight is especially neat because we have Don McLean's American Pie here, and that's very, very neat for our community. - Hey, everybody. Welcome to Clear Lake, Iowa and the legendary Surf Ballroom for the 2022 Winter Dance Party. Please welcome America's legendary singer-songwriter, the American troubadour, Don McLean! cheers and applause - Well, all right! So here we are, 50 years since that song came out, 50 years. It's incredible. You take a time like this to call that the day the music died from my song. I am so touched, really, to be here and to sing for you. cheers and applause Did you write the book of love? Do you have faith in God above? If the Bible tells you so? Now, do you believe in rock n' roll? Can music save your mortal soul? Can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym You both kicked off your shoes I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage oncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died Come on, sing it! Started singing, Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, This'll be the day that I die This will be the day that I die Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - I think the song American Pie is just one of those heartfelt American classics that just makes you pause and be grateful for everything that you have. - American Pie, one of my favorite songs. This night in 1959, the day that music died, but we believe the music's still alive. orchestral cover of American Pie - It's a classic song. It spans the generations, everyone loves it, and it just will live on forever. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, This'll be the day that I die This will be the day that I die - Helter skelter in the summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass the players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast - Now the halftime air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? - We started singing, Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die - Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend - Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in hell Could eak that Satan's spell As the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singing, Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die 5 days of Hacking / Camping / Lectures Join May Contain MCH2022.org
- MTV - A long, long time ago - This could, quite possibly, be the greatest song in music history. - I can still remember How that music used to make me smile - There's something magical about it. It's transcendent. - And I knew if I had my chance - That I could make those people dance - And maybe they'd be happy - For a while - It feels like it's always existed. - So bye-bye, Miss American Pie - Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry - Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye - 90-year-old people to 10-year-old kids, everybody knows that song. - This'll be the day that I die - Did you write the book of love? - American Pie is an epic. It's War and Peace. It's the big novel. - If the Bible tells you so? - It's woven into the fa ic of America and our culture. - Do you believe in rock 'n' roll? I thought it was a cool idea. I could go deliver the paper, and one day there was this story, three rock 'n' roll stars killed in a plane crash. Buddy was now dead. Well, I know that you're in love with him - This is where the music died. - Dancin' in the gym The country was in an advanced state of psychic shock. And so, I said, I got to have a big song about America. One day, it all came out like a genie out of a bottle. I knew I had the tiger by the tail. The day the music Everything took off like a rocket. - It went to number one so fast. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - American Pie blew up the world. - But the levee was dry - I think I know the album cover as much as I know the song. I mean, Captain America thumb, it's iconic. - This'll be the day that I die - American Pie was really encapsulating the experience of a whole generation. - Now for ten years we've been on our own - Everybody can relate to that song. American Pie drew you in deeply. - But that's not how it used to be I'm trying to do a kaleidoscopic, dream-like story about America. The jester stole his thorny crown I say the jester stole his thorny crown. Elvis did not have a thorny crown. A pink carnation, sure, I went to a lot of proms, but I never had a pickup truck. But I could have anything I wanted in my songs. I saw Satan laughing with delight - It's the kind of song you dream about writing that has meaning and has depth, has relevance to generations, you know, ongoing. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - We're in the age of TikTok. Meanwhile, an eight-minute song is still getting radio play all over the world. - Singin', This'll be the day that I die It is a masterpiece. - No one's ever written anything like it since. - There's a reason it's been around for 50 years. The day The music died - This is what the power of music is. A long, long time ago You can see the house I grew up in in New Rochelle, it's still there. Being in the house with my parents, who I loved very much, and they were great people, but it was very restrictive. I was white, suburban, middle-class. We believed in God. We believed in the church. We believed in our government. I was ill quite a bit. I had asthma and I would be out of school for weeks and weeks, stuck in the house and looking at kids playing outside. And I developed differently than they did. My father's idea of what he wanted for his son was a West Point guy, an athlete, warrior, intellectual, crew cut, upright American boy. And I thought, I can't be farther apart from this guy than I am. - Well, now, if your baby leaves you And you've got a tale to tell Well, just take a walk - And that's when I first heard Elvis Presley. - Heart eak Hotel - Heart eak Hotel, magic, takes your ains. - You'll be lonely You'll be so lonely, you could die - It just seemed to me that that image was a very romantic image. I've always been in love with romance, you know, whether it was Robin Hood or Superman or the Lone Ranger, and I started thinking I could morph myself into this somehow, maybe if I could play the guitar. I've never talked about this in the song all these years, but I talk about the sacred store, and the sacred store is the House of Music on Main Street in New Rochelle, and that's where I bought my records, and that's where I bought my first guitar. And I started to learn. I learned three chords, and I was off to the races, but I drove everybody crazy. I'd play records over and over and over. Bo Diddley and Gene Vincent, all these great groups. I fell in love with Buddy Holly. He had a rollicking sound. He was always full of joy and exuberance. A happy country boy sound with jingling and jangling guitars. And his songs were great. There was something else about Buddy Holly that he is only 21 or 22. He had a certain genius. He was a serious guy, you know. Country people were serious. You know, they've been through a lot, and they worked hard for their money. I mean, you go to Lubbock, Texas and all you see are cotton fields. Holly Tile was the company that the father had. Buddy would have been laying tile floors in bathrooms or picking cotton. - Where do you come from... Lubbock, Texas? - Lubbock, Texas, yes. - Right after high school, you started playing together? - Yes, sir, that's right. - You were a big hit right from the start or has it been sort of a long... - Well, we've had a few rough times, I guess you'd say, but we've been real lucky getting it this quick. - He had made recordings in Nashville, which were not successful. And then he went to Clovis, Mew Mexico, to Norman Petty's studio and recorded many of the same songs, including That'll Be The Day, and suddenly he had a number one record. Norman Petty was the difference. He knew what to do to commercialize Buddy Holly. There was a... an alchemy. He made magic. And knowing it was not only all over the country, but all around the world. - We are very proud Iowa farmers. My grandfather started the tradition back in the 1920s. This is my son, and now Andrew and his cousin are involved in it. - This field has been in our family for generations, and it's really important to us because it's our livelihood, but also there's no other field in the countryside that's got more history than this field. - This is a place where one of the first big rock 'n' roll tragedies occurred. It's very simple, it's in the middle of a cornfield, it's not fancy, no flashing lights. This is where the music died. This is where the music died. - I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed ide - In 1971, I was just beginning to explore music, and American Pie was one of those songs. I listened to it over and over again. I had no idea that it had anything to do about Clear Lake or the farm that we owned. - This story in from Clear Lake, Iowa, three of the nation's top rock 'n' roll singing stars, Ritchie Valens, J.P. The Big Bopper Richardson, and Buddy Holly died today with their pilot in the crash of a chartered plane. - In 1979, when a local DJ named the Mad Hatter started the first Buddy Holly tribute, and then this gentleman, Ken Paquette, did the research and said, Okay, this is where the plane crashed. He put a monument out there, and people started coming searching for the place, so I had our welder make an extra big set of glasses, and I mounted 'em out there, and of course, that's kind of turned into a little bit of a monument in itself. When Don's song came out, it just lit up the enthusiasm and the interest in Buddy and in that story. Buddy and Ritchie and The Bopper, the guys were so young. Ritchie was only 17. That fateful night, they entertained a couple thousand fans. It all ended out here. Now this is a pilgrimage. People from all over the world travel here. We'll occasionally have a hayride out here, and we'll sing American Pie. Everybody knows that song. That is the song of our lives. - A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music Used to make me smile - American Pie, it's woven into the fa ic of America and our culture. - That I could make those people dance - It just sort of feels like it's always existed. It's just ubiquitous and predates time itself or something. - The day the music - I'm told we're the world's first all-vocal country band. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - American Pie, it's one of those songs that I have known as long as I can remember. - I've been singing that song my whole life. - I remember my mother singing that song to me, just as a song that never leaves you, it's just always there. - By the time I remember hearing that song on the radio, I feel like I already knew all the words. Did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above? - When our manager mentioned to us that Don was interested in doing a special edition of the song for its 50th anniversary and including us, we didn't even have to think about it. - Can music save your mortal soul? - We certainly felt a sense of responsibility, just being handed the reins to such an important, iconic song. - With a pink carnation and a pickup truck - Don put a lot of trust in us, and so, luckily, he was thrilled with what we came up with. He just added his vocal to the mix and it was magic. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry - The day the music died was such an earth-shattering moment, and then Don actually put it into words, what everybody was feeling, but wasn't really able to say. He used such incredible imagery and metaphors that allowed the audience to inject their own personal meaning into the song as well. There's a lot of things that can unify us in strange ways. We're united in our grief and sense of loss. That is what Don was able to articulate through American Pie. Just the imagery of that chorus alone, the idea of a bunch of good old boys drinking whiskey and rye and singing, This'll be the day that I die. It's a horrible thing to be singing about, yet they're all singing about it together. - And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost - When he wrote it, we were kind of on the tail end of the two-minute pop song. Meanwhile, he comes out with this eight-minute song that gets played on the radio, and that's unheard of. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - Now we're in the age of TikTok where people don't want to see anything longer than a few seconds. Meanwhile, American Pie is still getting radio play all over the world. - Singing This'll be the day that I die - We were on tour in Europe. I was at some bar at 1:00 in the morning, and then American Pie came on, and everyone sang every word, and no one spoke any English. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee - There's something magical about it. Everyone knows that song. Everyone on the planet can sing a chorus of that song. It's transcendent. - Singing This'll be the day that I die - My father wanted me to work, so I thought it was a cool idea, I could go deliver the paper, and that would be fun. I had a Sears Roebuck fat tire bike. It had no gears or anything. It was like riding a cast-iron lawn-mower, is what it was like. I like the romance of throwing the paper, and Yes, I'm the paper boy, that's right. I'll have your paper tomorrow, don't worry. You know, this kind of thing. It was cold. Fe uary in those days was cold. Fe uary made me shiver And you can see my house, there's kind of a stoop, there's a cement block, and they would throw the papers on that, and they'd be bound up, and so you'd cut it open and start putting the papers in your sack. And one day I opened it up, and there was this story. Bad news on the doorstep Three rock 'n' roll stars killed in plane crash, and it was my guy who was killed. Buddy was now dead. I was in absolute shock. Man, I read the whole story. I think I might have actually cried, it was that personal. I felt like, you know, you lost your first love, or you oke up with your first girlfriend. You know, that dark, horrible thing that comes over a teenager, you know, and it's like the end of the world. All of a sudden, you get this horrible death personally affecting me with this pain that I never had experienced before. So it just hurt. Can't intellectualize it. It hurt me. And then when that Buddy Holly Volume 1 came out right after, that just did me in because there were so many beautiful songs on there. Something touched me deep inside You know, I was so touched and moved by this beautiful face, and nobody talked about him 'cause he was dead. Americans didn't talk about dead people. Onward. - The original Winter Dance Party, it was kind of a mishmash. It was kind of a last minute tour that was put together all over the Midwest in the middle of January, when it was cold and windy and snowy and had a lousy bus without a heater. The heater kept eaking down, so you can imagine how cold it was on that bus. Buddy and Ritchie and The Bopper, these were the rock 'n' roll stars of the day. They all had top hits, and it was a thrill to have this group of artists come to little old Clear Lake, Iowa to perform on the stage at the Surf Ballroom. From the Surf, they were scheduled to go to Minnesota. Even in today's day and age, those are long treks. So when they got to Clear Lake, Buddy was tired of riding on that cold bus, and so he asked Carol Anderson, who was the manager of the Surf, to find a plane so they could fly to Fargo and play in Moorhead, Minnesota. - Para bailar La Bamba Para bailar La Bamba Se necesito una poca de gracia - The show that night was a fabulous show. I mean, you can imagine. It was unbelievable. - Arriba, y arriba Y arriba, y arriba Por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti Yo no soy marinero Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán Soy capitán, soy capitán - The show ended about after midnight. Waylon Jennings and Buddy had this exchange. Buddy said, I hope the bus eaks down. And Waylon says, I hope the plane crashes. Para bailar La Bamba Para bailar La Bamba Se necesito una poca de gracia Una poca de gracia Para mi, para ti, y arriba, y arriba - And Carol was the manager, he was the one that put 'em in the station wagon and took 'em out to the Mason City Airport. - I put 'em in the airplane, and I talked to all three of those boys that night before they got in the airplane. They were just kids. - They took off about 1:00, and to be honest, they weren't in the air very long. - I could see the taillight of the airplane, and the aircraft, in my opinion, was going down slowly, and it went down about three miles northwest of us. I said to the man in the tower with me, who was a weatherman, that the airplane was going down, and he said, No, that's an optical illusion, but I'd watched a lot of airplanes, and I hoped I was wrong. - Well, the FAA report says it was pilot error. Roger Peterson, who was a young Clear Lake kid, got disoriented and actually just wasn't able to read the instruments correctly, got discombobulated, and thought he was going up, and he was really descending, and just flew the plane into the ground. They couldn't have been in the air more than three or four minutes, maybe four or five miles. Their plane came down at a very high rate of descent because one of the wings cut a trench into the frozen ground. They skidded about 500 feet with the tail going up, and because there was a little bit of a ridge at the fence line. Jerry Dwyer actually got up the next morning and went out and got in a plane, 'cause he'd heard that they had not reached their destination. In just a couple of minutes after he was airborne, he radioed back to the airport, and then they called the Sheriff. - I did call to make sure that the people got out there as quick as they could. I was hoping that some of the people were still alive or maybe all of 'em, and it turned out they weren't, any of them. - It was a very tragic scene. A lot of officials, photographers. Something that Clear Lake never wished to be famous for. - Three of the nation's top rock 'n' roll singing stars, Ritchie Valens, J.P. The Big Bopper Richardson, and Buddy Holly died today with their pilot in the crash of a chartered plane. - A lot of family members heard it on the news rather than being notified. So it was a gruesome scene, and it was a real tragedy. - I grew up in the middle of America. I grew up in Oklahoma. Dad worked in the oil fields, Golden Gloves boxing champion, former Marine Corps Korean War. My mom was a housewife, former singer who gave it up to raise six children, and I was the baby of the six. Mom loved Patsy. She loved Aretha, Jack Greene. Dad was more of the working man's stuff, so Jones, Haggard, Buck Owens, and there I was, the guy that was taking it all in. Me and my mom hung out a lot because I was the baby. So some days, you know, you'd be sick for school. We had one car, so we'd have to drive Dad in and out of Oklahoma City and go pick him up. And in that car ride, I remember hearing American Pie for the first time and just loving it. - Oh, and there we were, all in one place A generation lost in space - The youth that's in those drums, the youth that's in that piano, that's all over the place. - Come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick - And this soft voice that is so confident it earns its place among all that activity going on. It's fabulous. - Oh, and as I watched him on the stage - So I knew that song backward and forward before I could ever play guitar or anything. What I didn't know was how much of a song it would become for me. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Especially early in your career, it was fun, man, you'd try and shake it up, so you'd do sing-alongs at the end of the night, and American Pie was probably 90 of the time. Boys was drinking whiskey and rye It was always what we ended Willies with when I played colleges. We get a record label, and probably about the third day, there's a thing called Bull Run. Bull Run is this thing in DC where they're gonna put about 12 acts on stage. People are going to know the last two or three, but all the ones up front, they kind of sit through. I'm one of those sit through guys, 'cause we don't have anything out yet. Right after the first song, the big downbeat, something goes wrong, Everything is out, everything except my guitar and my mic. And the first line out of my mouth... I'll remember it the rest of my life, was... A long, long time ago And you just watch the whole place stop. The guy going up to get a beer stopped, turns, and you see it. They came in. They don't know who this guy is, but he's singing probably the greatest song in music history, and they're all singing with you. And at that point, not only did I have them, more importantly, I knew they had me. But to take it on to the next level and see it happen there too, it was just amazing. - I had been doing extremely poorly in school. I was a freshman at Iona Preparatory School, Catholic, taught by Irish Christian others. They looked like priests, and it was very Dickensian. My mother had gone away, and I'm waiting for this horrible report card to come home. My father's in a good mood. You know, I think, Oh, man, when this happens, he ain't gonna be in a good mood. So the report card comes. My father, he looked at this thing, and he said, This is awful, and you cannot go on like this, and what is gonna become of you? Course, it wasn't low-key. He was yelling, you know, 'cause he had a temper. He felt all this silliness with music was impinging on and diminishing my schoolwork. So I went to sleep. It's like 1:00 in the morning, and all of a sudden, my father has his arms around his chest. He comes in to me and he's crying. He's saying, God, help me. Ambulance came, the police came, and they had him wrapped up on a stretcher. They're inging him down the stairs, and he just looked up at me and he smiled. Two hours later, I'm sleeping. The door opens, and my uncle is there. He said, There's some bad news for you, Donny, and he told me. Your father died tonight. I am ruined. I mean, I was really mad. That was very painful, and it lasted a long time. It was almost like the happy '50s were over. When my father died, home left me, 'cause it wasn't there anymore. You can imagine how important music became to me, creating something out of myself, moving away from all this. Once I had the guitar going, this folk thing started. I'd just write songs and follow my instincts. And I started playing around town. I would plan a concert almost every month. It was now about 1964, so I was about 18, and I had quit school 'cause I wanted to be a singer. - John Henry, when he was a baby Settin' down on his mammy's knee - But now I was learning songs that had substance of some kind. They weren't little songs. They were big songs. Woody Guthrie's Roll On, Columbia was a big song about the Columbia River and the men that built the Grand Coulee Dam. - There's a great and peaceful river In a land that's fair to see - A song like Roll On, Columbia, you start about talking about our country took the challenge, so you describe how it was. - Roll, Columbia, won't you roll, roll, roll - And each time, Roll on, Columbia. - Won't you roll, roll, roll - And then you're talking about these mighty men labored by day and by night to build this thing. - Seldom you see such a beautiful sight - Third verse, you're understanding what's happening. And by the fourth verse, you hear that chorus, I mean, it all makes sense. That's the key. - Roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Your power is turning our darkness to dawn So roll on - Tutti Frutti and Don't Be Cruel are fabulous small songs, and they changed the world with those simple songs, but these songs were more complicated and more interesting in terms of what they're teaching you about your country and about yourself. You know, who are we as Americans? A guy like me thought, Wow, gee, I could write a song like that with a little chorus in between and a little story, and a little chorus, and a little story, and that's what American Pie does. - Well, come on, let's go, let's go Let's go, little darlin' And tell me that you'll never leave me - I'm Connie Valens. Ritchie Valens was my other. - Again, again, and again Well now, swing - The classic car show, it's about the time, it's about the '50s, just like my other. You know, there's still an innocence there. There's a purity. We were born in the San Fernando Valley. Ritchie, he was just real warm, real loving, very protective. He discovered he was a pretty good singer and guitar player. My mom used to say he could make that guitar cry. The next thing you know, he's touring. Everything was just happening so fast. He was 17 with a big dream. My sister and I were walking home from school, and somebody said, Your other's dead. We just held hands and started running towards our house. Mama was sitting in the middle of the living room, and she turned around and looked at me, and she just looked so sad, and she just said that Ritchie had been killed. I remember just dropping to my knees and putting my head in her lap, and she just put her hand on my head. And that was the beginning of a very dark time in our lives. The Surf is the cathedral of rock 'n' roll. This is the last place he was, and a little part of him will always be here, and every time I walk in, I feel it. And sometimes I just come up on the stage, and I stand where he stood. And it's like he's still with us. He always will be. - Oh, Donna, oh, Donna - I first heard of Don McLean and American Pie in the '70s when it was released. - Donna was her name - I thought he did a beautiful job. Obviously, he felt something very near and dear in the tragedy. It was so heartfelt, and the lyrics are just beautiful. I thought it was pretty cool that somebody would care enough to do that. - Oh, Donna, oh - We were all very touched. It was another little bit of healing for our family. - There was this inch-square advertisement in the New York Times, said, Pete Seeger sings for Hudson River sloop. I got in my car, and it was a little concert in Garrison, New York, directly across from West Point. And then I find Osborne's Castle, which is where this event was held. The castle was way up on the hill, but there was this low area with rolling fields. - I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield Down by the riverside - Seeger, he plays banjo on this plywood stage and the one microphone, and then during a eak, I introduced myself, and he knew who I was because I'd been writing him since junior high school. And he liked me and he asked me to be on a concert in 1968. And I got right involved with that, right away. Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye - He took me under his wing and ought me around and had me open for him or be a guest on his show, and then he put this gang of singers together, and I was part of that. - Well, I thought I heard the captain say - Suddenly, I'm in this whole world. It's art, it's recordings, it's live performing. Seeger took us to the Newport Folk Festival in 1969. That was a big deal. It's still one of the high points of my entire life. Van Morrison, James Taylor, Muddy Waters was there. Somehow or other, they let the Everly Brothers come to Newport... Rock 'n' roll. - Gimme rock 'n' roll music Whoo, any old way you choose it - Wow. They came on stage, and they were incredible. - If you knew, Peggy Sue Just how my heart yearned for you, oh, Peggy - I had been reading, you know, what little bit I could, and I knew that the Everlys were very close to Buddy Holly. - I need you, Peggy Sue - So after the show was over, I had to say hello to them. So I went to Phil Everly, and I said, You know, I know that you knew Buddy Holly. Could you tell me a little bit about him and what happened? He said, We were very good friends, he said, And Buddy decided to take a plane to get out ahead of the tour to get his laundry done. He died for dirty laundry, I thought to myself. Wow. Man, he's a human being with a sack of dirty clothes. Gee, the whole thing started coming back. Front and center, it was absolutely haunting me now. - A long, long time ago When you look back at Garth Brooks' career, if you remember anything from it, you'll remember Central Park will be the crown jewel. 1997, August 7, beautiful night. And I knew if I had my chance - Garth Brooks, I'd heard about him singing. American Pie from the beginning when he was just getting started. Then bigger, bigger, bigger, every year, bigger, always singing this song. So the big word now is that he's gonna play Central Park. - With every paper I'd deliver - So I get a fax, he wants me to be on the show. - I couldn't take one more step We had a million people show up, live TV. It could not be going better, and then we go into our final leg of our stuff, and knowing that you're about to tell these people that Don McLean's gonna come out and sing American Pie, you were 16-foot tall. You knew it. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a great honor and a great privilege, Mr. Don McLean. And when I introduced him, God, he looked fantastic. He came out with that smile, and he gets to be the guy in the cape. And he wears the cape well, man. - Sing the chorus again! Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry - He comes out, and he just gets that big old guitar going, and it's just a little slower, so you see all million people just kind of lean in, and everybody's inner child comes out. - And I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play I like a crowd that's happy, And they were very happy. It was a summer night, and they were loose, and they were ready, and I love that. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry - American Pie isn't about a nation as much as it is about that drive of independence, that drive of discovery, that drive of believing anything is possible. Freedom within you. Okay now, New York. We want to hear just you guys singing. We were singin'... all: Bye-bye... - People found a road map in this song that is a million different things to a million different people. American Pie is one of those few songs you can stand behind and go, This is what the power of music is. both: Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - Talk about the perfect night needs the perfect ending, how about pulling one of the greatest singer-songwriter artists in history out? How about him singing his ass off, and then, oh, yeah, this could quite possibly be the greatest song in music history that you get to end the biggest night of your career on. Don McLean! I think you're looking at a 50-year-old song that gets prettier every year, classier every year. This thing... This thing is timeless, because no one's ever written anything like it since. - I graduated in 1968 with this degree that I knew I'd never use. In 1969, I had just been out of school a year and I had a three-album deal with Media Arts Records. And if she asks you why You can then tell her that I told you That I'm tired of castles in the air I moved up to the Hudson River. Hills of forest green Where the mountains touch the sky I lived in this little gate house to an estate in Cold Spring, New York. It was pretty primitive. No heat, very cold in the winter, but I rented it very inexpensively. Save me from all the trouble and the pain Up on the second floor, there was a tiny little bedroom, and there was a chair I put rockers on, and I would rock on that thing and type on my little typewriter and write songs. Why I can't remain I was writing furiously now. I was inspired by the people that I met, the artists, the writers, the scientists, the political people. And the first album I made was called Tapestry. And I'm making Tapestry in 1969 in Berkeley, California, and there'd be a small riot every day I was making that record. They are gassing the guys coming to the sessions, like, every day, so I'm thinking, it's crazy, what's gonna happen to the country now? Things are getting worse. We had had numerous assassinations throughout the '60s. The Kennedy assassination, Martin Luther King, and RFK. We had the war in Vietnam. Rage against Nixon and the chaotic insanity that was out there. It oke up families, tearing the whole place apart. The country was in an advanced state of psychic shock. Drugs everywhere. Everybody's smoking dope and sleeping with everybody else. And all this bedlam and riots and burning cities, and I'm always standing back trying to read the signs. All right, what's this mean? You know, and tried to put it somehow in my simple way into some of these songs. I was working on this second record, but I wasn't happy with it, and so I said, I got to have a big song about America. I just really knew I wanted to do this. One day, I was up there sitting on the little bed, and I turned this tape recorder on, and I just started singing... A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But Fe uary made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed ide But something touched me deep inside The day the music died I said, whoa. What is that? This whole thing was coming up in me, for all those years before of thinking of Buddy, and it all came out right through to the day the music died. Every single word I wrote just came like a genie out of a bottle. And I said to myself, Wow, I got something. So I'm thinking as a few weeks went by, I don't want this to be a ballad, so I got to write a hot chorus. I waited a long time, and then I came up with this crazy chorus. So bye-bye, Miss American Pie I drove me Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singing, This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I had already written about the idea, the Holly thing was now right front and center, and so I said, This'll be the day that I die. I had to have that in there. You know, that way I keep it flowing forward in the chorus. It was from, That'll Be the Day That I Die. Buddy learned that phrase from The Searchers, the John Wayne movie where the Duke says, That'll be the day. And there was a song that Pete Seeger used to sing, and it was called Bye-bye, My Roseanna. And he would sing... both: Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye Bye-bye, my Roseanna And that bye-bye thing stayed in my head, I think, from that one, so I put it in there. I chose American Pie, because you're as American, as apple pie, but I just dropped the apple out, and I said, American Pie, whoa, that's great. I knew I had the tiger by the tail. I got this hot chorus, and I got this beautiful opening, and now I'm thinking, well, where do I go with this? 'Cause I want to write a song about America, but I don't want to write a song like anybody ever wrote about America before. - I was second-generation, 'cause I grew up in a Greek household. I was born in San Francisco, only there for a year, in LA another year, and then grew up in Gary, Indiana. Before even I'm an artist, I'm somebody who's just interested in the humanities and in history, you know, and philosophy, especially, and poetry. And a lot of these people that I've sculpted have pressed the boundaries of things. They wanted to see a better world, they wanted to be part of that. Don, I had seen him in a show, The American Dream Machine, and I thought, wow. It was so sensitive, and he was reshaping how I thought about the ecology. I said I'd like to sculpt him, and I think the first time he sat, he played the guitar for ten hours straight. Then he came here and did the same thing right in this very room. He doesn't miss a thing. He's very open to the muse, so all that goes into the music. American Pie is War and Peace. It's the Moby Dick. It's the big novel. He has a narrative like a dream. You create all the characters in your dreams, so you're part of all of them. You know, the jester and the king. He was there at the right time and captured so much of that history that he was part of too, but he knows that history so well. If Don hadn't written American Pie, no one would ever have written it. See, it's unique to who he was, where in space and time he grew up. We're in front of my Freedom Sculpture. You see the struggle to eak free. And I wanted to put a poet in my sculpture, and the poet in my life, besides reading Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot and others, was Don McLean. Don's song, American Pie, is an epic song, not just because of its length, but because of its scope, and I wanted to have some sense of that in my sculpture. American Pie is an open-ended piece. It's not so specific that you can't put yourself in there. What happens with Don McLean's song, and with this for me, is if you leave it open-ended, you're inviting people to participate and to have a dialogue with you, to make themselves part of it, and they become very emotionally involved. With Don, American Pie, there are little mysteries, and Don is about mystery with his music. He even talks about his song, American Pie, being a kind of a dream. Turning your dreams into reality is what we do as artists. I was working on this American Pie song, and I had eight or nine songs that were going to go on the album, and now the question was how to make a good record out of it. - I have tried in my way - I heard a couple of records, one by Tim Hardin called Bird on a Wire. - Tried in my way - Ooh, I liked that record. There was some nice things on there. - Free - Ed Freeman is the producer, so I said, I want this guy, Ed Freeman. - Don came over to my apartment in New York and played me some songs, and I wasn't all that impressed, frankly. But I needed a job, so I thought, well, okay. And then, slowly, as we started working, I started realizing, oh, wait a minute, this guy is the real deal. - I had the album, I knew how I wanted it to sound, I had the producer. It was all progressing, but I didn't have the big one, and the big one had to blow them all away. - I remember Don played me the first verse and chorus of American Pie, and he said he hadn't finished writing it at that point, so I said, You should finish that, that it sounds like it could be a hit. - Now I'm thinking, well, where do I go with this? 'Cause I want to write a song about the new America, which is rock 'n' roll, which is people's involvement in politics and the connection between all that, rather than, you know, My Country, 'Tis of Thee, or This Land is your Land. So bye-bye, Miss American Pie I drove my Chevy to the levee The chorus came out, and then when I had that, I said, well, I've got the engine now to get this thing going. All I've got to do is sing the slow part of the song to a rock 'n' roll beat. In other words, and take A long, long time ago. Did you write the book of love? It's the same thing, sped up to rock 'n' roll. Did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above? And it must have been a month or two later, I wrote all the verses in, like, an hour. Do you believe in rock and roll? I was building it. I could hear it. I could feel it, that something was going on, bigger than me. I was trying to create some sort of an abstract, dream-like story about America. Well, I know that you're in love with him I, I saw you dancing in the gym The song came to me in one shot. There were a lot of spiral notebook pages, and I say how the song is gonna be constructed, I make a little blueprint of the song. In a coat he borrowed from James Dean, and a voice After I wrote the whole thing, I'm sure I sat down, and I was still trying to figure out how to get out of it. And when he'd had enough of that He pinched the queen and passed the hat You know, it couldn't end and it couldn't fade, so I didn't know what to do. So I thought, well, the only thing I can do is slow down like it started. Perfect. Exactly right. And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost - Then, of course, he finished American Pie, and I thought, well, no radio station is gonna play this thing because it's 8.5 minutes long, but it's a really good song. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie I just knew I had something that I thought was incredibly great and fun, but that nobody else might dig at all. Singing, This'll be the day that I die That's enough for today, - Welcome to Philadelphia. It's a beautiful city on a beautiful day, and it's my pleasure to show you my hometown. This building right here is the true ground zero of the United States. Independence Hall established justice. This is where the Declaration of Independence promote the general welfare. The articles of Confederation ensure domestic tranquility, and the Constitution of the United States were all written and signed. That is the birthplace of the United States. My name is Clark DeLeon, and I saw Don McLean sing. American Pie for the first time. The story was that Don performed American Pie for the first time at Temple University, but I know this happened at St. Joe's University at the field house. I am a columnist at the Philadelphia Inquirer, so I wrote about it, I talked to Don McLean and I just set the record straight. And then when I called him up, he readily admitted it. It was March, it was a rainy day. My wife and I went to see Laura Nyro. Now, Don McLean was just a throw in and the opening act. So we got there, and this field house, I remember we were sitting in the side. He came out and was just... Immediately had the crowd, but then he said, I've got this new song. It's so new, I haven't even learned all the words. And he said, I'm gonna need some help from the audience here. Can you... and he holds it to a young woman. Would you mind holding these up? while he began the song. - A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile In '70, I was still doing double bills, and I was opening for Laura Nyro. After I had written the song and I had all the handwritten pages and stuff, I went and typed up something so I could remember it, and I seem to remember that I had a little girl come out of the crowd, and I gave her the lyrics to hold, and I sang the song. And while Lennon read a book on Marx - The actual singing of the song got lost in my memory of all these words, you know, and you didn't know what the song was about, you just knew it had a really snappy chorus. And of course, by the end of it, everyone's singing American Pie. It was great. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - What was the crowd reaction? - Not much. Okay. Because the song was so different, they never heard anything like it. This'll be the day that I die You know, you can get immediate reaction from an audience, it doesn't necessarily mean the song's any good. You know, this had to be made into a record. The day that I die - By the end of the song, you knew something was going on. He said, you might be hearing this soon. He said that from the stage, and he was right. - One of the most talented young singer-songwriters I know, his name is Don McLean, and he's just written a and-new song that has got me bugged. I can't get it out of my head, even though I can't sing it right. It's a history of rock 'n' roll in six verses, and it's got a beautiful chorus. Now, believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever sung the song. Long, long time ago, I can still remember How that music used to make me smile - The record label, they weren't entirely secure about Don at all. At one point, the head of A&R called me up and said, This guy is a no-talent. Those were his exact words. - The day the music died Now, I suppose I have the drummers and everybody else coming in here. - We recorded in studio A at the Record Plant on 48th Street. - We started to work together. It was a contentious relationship. - We had some terrible disagreements. We used to stand out in the hallway, and I would start conversations with, The trouble with you is, Don... You know? - Oh, well, he didn't even want me to play guitar on the record. - But I did not appreciate his rhythm guitar playing, and originally I wanted to replace it with a studio guitarist. - I said, well, I'm playing guitar on the record, okay? Here I was, coming into his life as crazy as I could be. He wasn't all that sane either, but at the same time, he ought in wonderful players and wrote some beautiful strings. He was very talented. And so, I was being constantly thrilled. I had Empty Chairs, I had Crossroads, I had Winter Wood. I had the album, but I didn't have the big one. Did you write the book of love? Do you have faith in God above? - American Pie, we put together in the rehearsal studio. Don was not really comfortable playing with a rhythm section. What I did with Don is I got him together with a couple of players who were very good, but weren't hardcore studio players, and we rehearsed for two weeks. - Well, I know that you're in love with him - It was just myself, Don, Freeman, and I believe, the drummer, Roy Markowitz. So it was just Don and a rhythm section, kind of bare bones. - We started rehearsals. This is a struggle. In a way, American Pie, it kept sounding like a polka, and it really annoyed me. I said, this is really bad. The day we're recording American Pie, we still didn't have it right. The groove, we don't have it. To Ed Freeman's credit, he would come up with things that would just save everything, and he ings a young man to the session named Paul Griffin. - We added the electric guitar and Paul Griffin on piano at the last minute. I had worked with Griffin before. I knew he was the right guy. - Griffin had never heard the song in his life, so here we are trying it for the first time. - We stumbled through a few takes. Paul Griffin, he didn't really know what to do with the first verse, and he was very nervous. - And they put my guitar in his earphones. And I hit that thing hard, and I play it loud. And all of a sudden, Griffin, he starts playing this thing. He's going, Whoa! And he starts playing the piano like a gospel stride piano. He's just rolling and rocking and kicking it here and backing off there and, you know, just changing everything as we're moving along and building from verse to verse. - Paul Griffin was the hero. He was just an amazing cat. Gospel, jazz, chops... Just such a monster. - Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye I'm kicking his ass, you know, and he's kicking my ass, and the two of us together making the drummer go where he's supposed to go, and everybody else falls in line. - The track was just, like, so rocking, man. - Well, I knew we were where we were supposed to be. It felt great. It was jumping and, you know, it was what I wanted. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - There was that one take where it was just magic, and it just happened. - Boys were drinking whiskey and rye Paul Griffin, he came in at the last moment, and Hail Mary pass, saved the whole dang thing. I said, that's it! - When they finished, I just hit the talk back, and I said, Y'all better come in here and take a listen to this. And everybody was high-fiving each other and dancing around. It was clear to everybody, we all knew it was great. Well, then we did the vocals. - I sang the song probably about 30 times, singing things that were very riffy, you know, high notes. Ed didn't like that. - We went to the mat about that more than once. What I ended up doing is recording a lot of vocals and then splicing together the parts that I considered iconic. But we got it, in the end. - Well, finally, we got a coherent mix and vocal. Everything was right, and it was very good. - I think the only thing that we were in agreement about, is that we were both fiercely committed to this song being a masterpiece. We were not leaving the studio until this thing was illiant, and we didn't, and it is. - You have freedom to be whoever you want to be. You have a right to dream in the US. It's the American Dream. RCA Studios is definitely one of the most beautiful studios I've ever been in my entire life. My second record, Different Kinds of Light, I cut here. But now I've got to return and do this amazing song here. Fe uary made me shiver American Pie in the UK, literally everywhere at the end of a night. Yeah, everyone will have a beer in hand and be singing that in a camaraderie way. I just remember being extremely struck by that song. This thing about the melody that feels completely timeless. - Are you ready? - Yeah, I'll give it a go, see what happens. A long, long time ago - Think it's the album cover, right? I think I know the album cover as much as I know the song. I mean, the Captain America thumb, I mean, come on. It's this chord. - Yeah, I think it's... - Whatever that is. Honestly, this song is terrifying to cut. I woke up this morning, had a little panic attack about it. I think she did too, because it's such an iconic song you've heard a million times. It is so ingrained in people's mind, and so to even dare touch it or try to reinvent it is pretty crazy. - A long, long time ago, I can still remember How that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance It made me feel sad when I was singing the start of the song. The somberness of, you know, Bye-bye, Miss American Pie, the story of that, I felt that pretty heavy today. So bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee To be telling a story like Don's, to be telling a story like American Pie, with Dave, with these incredible musicians, and to be a part of that, I feel, like, genuinely, truly honored. This'll be the day that I die It is a masterpiece. There's a reason it's been around for 50 years. Oh, did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above? If the Bible tells you so? - I'm Rudy Perez, and I was born in Pinar Del Río, Cuba. I remember the first time I heard American Pie, it must have been in '76. It was a song that drew you in deeply. - Real slow - Everybody can relate to that song. American Pie crossed generations and is still resonating with people today. - You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues, oh - With the turmoil that's still going on, that song is still very up-to-date. I mean, it's just magical. - But I knew I was out of luck the day - When I listen to American Pie, it just reminds me of what America means to me. America means freedom. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry - I think the song American Pie has just always echoed through the United States' history. It's almost like a national anthem of sorts to a lot of people. - This'll be the day that I die Newsweek magazine came out with this big article about the top ten dying cities in the United States. My hometown, Grand Rapids, Michigan, was one of them, and we were like, you know what, we need to strike back against this. - When the jester sang for the king and queen - We were like, let's make this lip dub video and just pack it full of everyone with all the energy and fight back and say, this is who we are. The track that I chose, American Pie, it felt so full of Americana and this hope for the future, and it felt representative of the city and what we were trying to do. - No verdict was returned - We loved it because it spoke to dark times in our country's history, as well as to our hope that we could change it and that we could uplift ourselves to a higher place. - The music died - Grand Rapids, Michigan was American Pie. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - All of these people singing it out in the streets together, they associated with that song, and they knew that it meant something and that it did represent what this town was about, the all-American story that we still idealize, that we still want to be true. - The day The music died - American Pie really hit the nail on the head. The record company, they loved it and sent me over to a man named George Whiteman, who was a fashion photographer, and he had a big studio and long-legged ladies were coming in and kissing Georgie, Oh, Georgie. He says, Hi Don, you know, I heard the record. Great record. Come on inside. I'm gonna paint your thumb. So he painted my thumb, and then I looked down the guitar. And the thing is that there are children's nursery rhymes in American Pie. You know, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick. So he went one step further... Little Jack Horner sat in the corner, eating his Christmas pie, put in his thumb and pulled out a plum, and said, what a good boy am I. That's not in the song, but the implication is that, you now, it's another nursery rhyme. I said, absolutely right, perfect. I would have never thought of it in 100 million years. And then, about two weeks later, we get the word that United Artists is buying Media Arts Records. Mainly because they love American Pie. They think it's a hit record and a hit album, and they're all excited. Everything took off like a rocket. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry - It went from zero to number one so fast. - This'll the day that I die This'll be the day that I die American Pie blew up the world. Now, for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat - The album and the single became number one, and it stayed up there for weeks and weeks. - It was the longest hit record that had ever been released. - Three minutes was the limit to any song, but American Pie just oke that rule. It was just a complete phenomenon. - People heard the short version of the song on the radio, and they heard the long version on the album, and they called up all the radio stations and said, we want to hear the whole thing when you play the top 40. So now they all had to make decisions, do we play this one guy's song? We've got to give him 8.5 minutes? But they did it, played it off the album. - Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - There was a radio station, I remember, in New York that played it over and over, end to end with nothing else for eight hours in a row. - This'll be the day that I die - It was just unheard of. - This'll be the day that I die So I'm thinking, this is amazing, and I'm loving it. There's never been a phenomenon like American Pie. I was smiled on. I was as surprised as anybody that I could make magic. - The more I listened to it, I thought, wow, this is like an epic. American Pie was really encapsulating the experience of a whole generation. We were witness to the death of the American dream. We went through both Kennedys being shot, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Vietnam, you know, hippies thought we were gonna take over the world with love and peace... And it didn't happen. For me, American Pie is the eulogy for a dream that didn't take place. It was real important that way. I think we all needed it. It was an acknowledgment of what we had been through, and in a way, because it was an acknowledgment, we could move on. - Here we go, Don McLean. Take two, mark. - I feel like I want to talk about the actual writing of the song. - Okay. I'm trying to do a kaleidoscopic, dream-like, impressionistic, yet understandable thing. The first verse of the song is biographical. Long, long time ago I can still remember how that music Used to make me smile Buddy was like a lost other or somebody that died in the war or... There was this yearning I had in me always, and I could never talk to anybody about it, because it was just all in me. The day the music died So let's see now, the second verse... How's it go? Do you remember? Now do you believe in rock 'n' roll? Can music save your mortal soul? Can music save your mortal soul? See, that's the theology in me coming out. In the church, they only talk about your immortal soul. I'm saying, can music save your mortal soul, as a man, now, being alive? Well, I know that you're in Well, I know that you're in love with him 'cause I saw you dancing in the gym. You both kicked off your shoes. You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues. So this is all me, little old me, seeing other kids being happy and hearing the music going on behind them, and seeing other things happen that I wasn't a part of. Yeah, I was a lonely teenage oncin' buck. Now, that's a take off on having onchial asthma. I was onching, but I was still a stallion, you know what I mean? I was a lonely teenage oncin' buck With a pink carnation... And a pickup truck, but I knew I Sure, I went to a lot of proms, but I never had a pickup truck, but I could have anything I wanted in my songs. Since my father died, I have no family. You know, I have my mother, but my mother and I went sort of different ways. Oh, for ten years we've been on our own That's me talking, For ten years I've been on my own. Moss grows fat on a rolling stone. I think I was putting on weight. I thought I was, you know, getting fat and lazy and stuff. When the jester sang for the king and queen When the jester sang for the king and queen. Now, there's been this discussion about the jester over and over. You know, I certainly would have mentioned Dylan's name if I had meant to mention him. I would have said Bob or something else, but I didn't, 'cause it ain't him. The king, I say, The jester stole his thorny crown. I didn't mention Elvis Presley, because Elvis did not have a thorny crown. Jesus Christ has a thorny crown. If I'd wanted to say Elvis instead of the King, I would have said Elvis. I say James Dean in the song. So what you have is this mythology that I'm inventing of this insulting, happy jester. Oh, I'll just grab the king's crown off his head and see if he laughs at that, see if that's funny. And while Lennon read a book on Marx And Lennon read a book on Marx. Well, that applies to both John Lennon and the real Lenin. Communism radicalized John Lennon, and Lenin was radicalized by Marx. So now the next verse is... Helter-skelter in the summer swelter Eight miles high definitely came from the name of a song. Eight miles high and falling fast I thought that was a great song. The eight miles high idea, I loved that. Now, there was a song that Josh White used to sing called Bottle Up and Go. There I am in the grass Mm-mmm a forward pass You got to bottle up and go So that was the idea of a forward pass in the grass. The grass, the players tried for a forward pass With a jester on the sidelines. That meant, this wasn't funny anymore. This wasn't funny at all. The halftime air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune And then the rest of the lyric is about the people trying to take over, and they would be pushed back by the marching band, the military-industrial complex. The marching band refused to yield I was always marching against the war in Vietnam. We were constantly being pushed aside in this relentless desire to destroy Southeast Asia. There we were all in one place The generation lost in space. We're out in the middle of an endless universe. None of us are important except to each other, and we're all lost in space, because the war was hotter than it ever was before. I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news I met a girl who sang the blues, I asked her for some happy news. Well, you see, I'd gotten the bad news in the front of the song. Now I'm asking her for some happy news at the end of the song. But she just smiled and turned away And you know how it is when a woman or anybody smile and turn away like that? She knew something, but she wasn't gonna say anything. She doesn't give me good news. And I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before Went down to the sacred store. Now I'm going back to New Rochelle. They said, The music doesn't play anymore, Don. The country was headed in the wrong direction, toward an evil god of some sort, and that's how the song ends. And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost The three men I admire most, caught the last train for the coast, so even God has been corrupted. He's going to Los Angeles. - A long, long time ago lived a lonely newspaper boy. I'm Peter Gallagher. I'm an actor and singer. I'm here to read an audiobook all inspired by Don McLean's epic, American Pie. He never missed a porch or a sidewalk with his finely crafted fling. What this song and this story provides all of us is the chance for us to recognize what we share in terms of the past. His bike transformed into a stealthy steed. It's just a whole world in there, and you can hear and see in it what you need to hear and see in any given moment. The newspaper boy gently picked up the guitar and slung it over his shoulder. I was eager to contribute to something that might make people feel connected again. Something had touched him deep inside. - We started singin' My, my, this here Anakin guy May be Vader someday later, Now he's just a small fry Well, in 1999 when Star Wars was coming out with the Phantom Menace, so I knew I wanted to write a song parody about Star Wars. And I flashed on the idea of using American Pie, because it's one of my all-time favorite songs. We finally got to Coruscant I think American Pie is eternal. There's some magic baked into that song. How good the boy could be When The Saga Begins came out, it was a huge hit on Radio Disney, so a lot of pre-teens were listening to the song. They didn't know American Pie, they just thought, oh, it's a funny Weird Al song about Star Wars. The following year, Madonna did a cover version of American Pie, like, kind of a disco version, and all these kids were thinking, how come Madonna is doing an unfunny version of a Weird Al song? - I remember when you called me. Hey, doing the remake of 'American Pie, ' our version, putting Spanish in it. I was like, man, are you kidding me? What an honor, no- ainer. - I mean, it's such a classic. - It's just so powerful. - Jencarlos, he really understood how to, someway, say the same story of the original song, but in Spanish. I knew about the song since I was like 12. My dad had it. It's such an impactful song. Again, bye-bye, Miss American Pie - You know how many times growing up that song played? - I've been singing this song as a fan for so many years. Them good old boys I see it as us, from our culture, tipping our hats off to the original. The day that I die Still, to date, that song has transcended. It's still so inspiring. What a masterpiece. - And there we were all in one place A generation lost in space When I first heard American Pie, I said, hey, what is this new record I'm listening to? You know, and I listened and listened, and I was so blown away because he takes you on a journey. It's like, each verse is different, he goes through different phases. I love the melody, and of course, Don's lyrics are really great. You both kicked off your shoes We both kicked off our shoes, and I dig those rhythm and blues. As the flames climbed high into the night Don, well, he's up there with the best of them. He's just a very, very talented songwriter, and he deserves his success. Thank you. We were singin' Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - I was doing a TV show called Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, and after my character dies, the entire cast sing American Pie. all: Singing, this'll be the day that I die - It was amazing to see just how powerful that song is, still. It really is timeless. - I met a girl who sang the blues - Zoey's was a show that I was executive music producer for and produced a lot of songs, none better or bigger than American Pie for the finale of the season. - I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music - As a songwriter, it's the kind of song you dream about writing, that has meaning and has depth, has relevance, and is something that continues to be relevant to generations, you know, ongoing. - In the streets, the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed American Pie has always been a part of my life. You know, when my dad drove me to preschool, we were listening to it. My dad wanted me to know the history of that song, because it's important. It's heavy. It's meaningful. And the three men I admire the most There's a world that's created with this song that is our world, but also isn't. It's more tragic and it's more beautiful. The day The music died - Don, my name's Jeff Nicholas. I'm president of the Surf, I want to welcome you to the Surf Ballroom. - Pleasure to be here. - I'd like to show you the ballroom a little bit. - Definitely. - Yeah. So the ballroom was designed to simulate walking out on the beach and dancing under the deep blue sky. We kind of consider it the soundstage of American music. - Well, it's certainly an important place. - American boy - American boy - Invented rock 'n' roll - Rock 'n' roll - All that stuff from the late '40s right on through to the mid '60s, that music is the essence of everything. - They caused a sensation - So here we are, walking on the stage of American music. - Shook up the nation - American boy - The original stage ended right here. - So you mean Buddy would be standing here? - Buddy would have stood here, Waylon would have stood here, and Tommy also would have been here, and you know, Carl Bunch, the drummer, was still in the hospital in Green Bay with frostbitten fingers and toes. They mixed and matched. Buddy would play drums, and Ritchie would play drums, and everybody, they just figured out a way to make the show. - And I've been thinking about Buddy Holly a lot. When I came up with that original part of the song, it came out in a sad, poignant way. - When American Pie came on, that was the time I believed that the focus started to be back on those guys. - Well, I remember the song was number one, and they started playing Buddy's music on the radio again. Buddy ought me to life, I ought Buddy to life. - Oh, my goodness. - How do you do? - How do you do? What a pleasure and an honor, Mr. McLean. Thank you. Thank you. I have a little something I want to say. I just want to thank you for writing The Day the Music Died. You immortalized my other, JP, and Buddy. You took a terrible tragedy and made rock 'n' roll history. Thank you. Thank you so much. See that up there? - I hardly don't know what to say. - A friend of ours painted that, and all around that is our family. Everybody signed it. - Your other is very important, more important now than ever. - Ritchie was a rock 'n' roll pioneer. - He was. - The first time I heard your song, I had to keep listening to it, because I thought, Oh, my gosh. He's singing about my other. He's singing about the... you know, the day the music died. - If the song helps people love that music the way I do and the way I did, then that's something I did in my life that I'm very proud of. We should never forget this music. - Never. - And these guys were incredibly important. This was and-new at the time. - Yes. - Ritchie was only 17. - He was only 17. - So he started working as a musician, making some money, and then he bought his Fender guitar. - That's... yeah, that's right. - So that's when he developed that great sound on that guitar. - Yes. - You know, it's that sort of edgy, heavy sound, you know... You know, it's got that thing to it, very distinctive. - Para bailar La Bamba - You know, he sang that traditional La Bamba, which he probably sang with your family. - Well, he made it rock 'n' roll though. - Yeah. What's it about? - Para bailar La Bamba, to dance the Bamba, Se necesito una poca de gracia, we need a little grace. Poquito para ti, poquito para mi, a little for you, a little for me. Una poca de gracia, para mi, para ti Y arriba, y arriba Higher and higher. - Great. - Yeah. - So it's simple lyrics, but just so great. - It is, yeah. - Well, thank you for coming here. This is a big deal for me. - Thank you so much. God bless you. - You take care now. - I will. Thank you. - My name is Nelson Crabb, and I happen to be the mayor of Clear Lake, Iowa. Fe uary 3rd of 1959, I was a freshman at Rutgers University. Going back one Sunday, when on the car radio, I heard about this terrible accident just north of town here. The car got quiet, and, you know, very, very sad time, but tonight is when we cele ate the music of those three gentlemen, and tonight is especially neat because we have Don McLean's American Pie here, and that's very, very neat for our community. - Hey, everybody. Welcome to Clear Lake, Iowa and the legendary Surf Ballroom for the 2022 Winter Dance Party. Please welcome America's legendary singer-songwriter, the American troubadour, Don McLean! - Well, all right! So here we are, 50 years since that song came out, 50 years. It's incredible. You take a time like this to call that the day the music died from my song. I am so touched, really, to be here and to sing for you. Did you write the book of love? Do you have faith in God above? If the Bible tells you so? Now, do you believe in rock n' roll? Can music save your mortal soul? Can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym You both kicked off your shoes I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage oncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died Come on, sing it! Started singing, Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, This'll be the day that I die This will be the day that I die Bye-bye, Miss American Pie - I think the song American Pie is just one of those heartfelt American classics that just makes you pause and be grateful for everything that you have. - American Pie, one of my favorite songs. This night in 1959, the day that music died, but we believe the music's still alive. - It's a classic song. It spans the generations, everyone loves it, and it just will live on forever. Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, This'll be the day that I die This will be the day that I die - Helter skelter in the summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass the players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast - Now the halftime air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? - We started singing, Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die - Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend - Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in hell Could eak that Satan's spell As the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singing, Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die

Identify yourselves, this area is off-limits! THE REPUBLIC OF SARADIA Where are you going at this time of night? You can go back to sleep. The Godzilla cells from Japan have just arrived. I just got the call now. I'll process the freezing immediately. You didn't have to come with me. What are you talking about? You can't do anything by yourself. THE SARADIA INSTITUTE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY I'm gonna head to the laboratory first. Erika... Miki Saegusa, 17 years old. She's the strongest psychic we have at the Mental Science Exploration Centre. It has been shown through numerous tests that plants have their own fields of mental energy. Therefore, with the will of the plant, FIVE YEARS LATER it's no wonder there FIVE YEARS LATER are people who can make contact. Tell me doctor, was it a sudden wish to hear the voice of a rose? No, it's a sign of old age. Also, I've lived here alone for over five years now. I've gotten stupid ideas from this solitude. It's been 5 years already... Erika had been saying since college, Someday, roses will bloom in the desert. How's your father doing? He's quite energetic. His latest project is to start a biobank, trying to get his foundation to fund it. He wants to preserve the sperm of Japanese Nobel Prize winners and VIPs, by having them stored frozen? He's fighting hard traditions of this nation. It's still impossible here. Those attitudes were the reason that my studies had to continue a oad. It hasn't changed at all from those days. How was it? The roses didn't utter a word. Well then. Thanks for stopping by. Did you hear something just now? The voice of a woman, she was calling for Ms. Asuka. Bye! Do you know of the chimera? Chimera? A monster that spits fire from its mouth and suddenly appears in dark waters, causing violent storms and ruining humanity. The head is a lion, the body is a goat, and the tail is a dragon. Greek mythology? If genetic engineers keep playing with cells, they may create their very own chimera. A new like form, totally alien, and completely different from what God intended for earth. Don't you think that's scary? I understand how you feel about my father's work and many people are against it as well. I am the daughter of the infamous Okochi Foundation. You are a young ace of the sensible Institute of Biotechnology, And the Institute of Biotechnology... receives enormous support from the Okochi Foundation. But what about between me and you? However much you'll be Romeo, I'm not motivated to be Juliet. They are asking me if I can attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. If you could... come with me. I've got my own job to do. I can't give you an answer now. At Oshima and Mount Mihara... with a series of earthquakes from last night to this morning, an eruption was observed near the crater. With the question of a major eruption for the Japan Meteorological Agency, they are carefully watching the situation. It was only two to three children a few days ago. Now, they all say they had the same dream last night. What about you? A week ago and yesterday. It's becoming clearer and clearer. Are you all done? Yes! Then show the teacher the picture of your dream! Yes! NATIONAL LAND BUREAU SPECIAL DISASTER RESEARCH COUNCIL GODZILLA UNIT This is Gondo. Ah it's you, Major Kuroki? Oh, I don't know when it'll show up. I'll be on the lookout for monsters. Special assignment to the National Land Bureau? That's a polite demotion, isn't it? Thanks to you, I'm leading a very tense, yet boring life. Right, tension is important in life! I called you because I want to turn my days from grey to rosy. I want to do some engaging research. Okay, 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Godzilla's moving! FIRST ALARM SYSTEM OTHER THAN A PHYSICAL SIGN OF G'S ACTION IS CONFIRMED, SUCH AS CHEMICAL, GEOLOGICAL, OR METEOROLOGICAL. PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE It seems that the Prime Minister isn't really serious about it. It's natural for him. She's just a nobody. Believing in prediction and clairvoyance of unknown supernatural powers would put the PM out of a job. Do you believe it, Gondo? I hope it'll come out soon. Or else, I'll be called the tax-eating monster. TOP SECRET FIRST STAGE OF EMERGENCY OF G Robotic engineering, computers, Super-conductivity, laser technology... It's an on-parade of advanced technology. And don't forget supernatural powers. The Self-Defence Corps have had a shake up. Right? You've forgotten one thing. What's that? You didn't mention our bio-weapons. Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria? TSUKUBA BIOTECH LABORATORY Already in the United States, they've genetically engineered some bacteria to eat petroleum. It's been made for practical use for oil pollution in the sea. Similarly, for radioactive contamination such as a nuclear accident, bacteria that can eat nuclear material was considered as an effective means. That's the theory on anti-nuclear energy bacteria. Eating nuclear material? It would be a powerful weapon against Godzilla, who feeds upon nuclear energy. I know the first alert of the alarm system for Godzilla triggers a production on anti-nuclear energy bacteria. But the bacteria wasn't meant to be used as a weapon. Besides... The anti-nuclear energy bacteria can't be produced in here on it's own. We need other elements, including a Godzilla cell. A Godzilla cell? Godzilla feeds on nuclear energy. And I'm sure that Godzilla's cells contain genes that eat nuclei. We need those genes to make the bacteria. So, you're saying that something taken from Godzilla's cells, is going to beat Godzilla's cells... The Godzilla cells were found five years ago in Shinjuku, and collected by the Self-Defence Forces chemical department unit. They're stored at the Okochi Foundation. Will you need anything else, Doctor? Whatever's necessary. I have no intention of dealing with Godzilla cells again. I understand your feelings, Doctor, but this is to defend our nation of Japan against Godzilla. I lost my daughter who was more important to me than my country, because of the Godzilla cells. I have nothing more to protect. Take care now. THE OKOCHI FOUNDATION So, you're Dr. Kirishima? My daughter has told me a lot about you. I've been wanting to finally meet you. She said you're a little critical about my project. Pretty much. No, I'm not just looking at the light that genetic engineering gives to mankind. I do realise the shadow it also casts. Then you must know what kind of weapon the anti-nuclear energy bacteria could be? One that can neutralize nuclear missiles. Nuclear weapons will no longer be the final weapon. If that kind of weapon is produced, the balance of the world will be... Kirishima, that's just reality. And you have the material to make that weapon. The world's great powers are eager to acquire Godzilla cells. If another country succeeds, I'll use force to beat them, like when America's Biomajor attacked Dr Shiragami's laboratory in Saradia, five years ago. The Japanese government hid Godzilla cells here by way of precaution. Unless nuclear pollution like an atomic plant accident jeopardized the safety of the nation, the Godzilla cells would have been sealed forever. But then came Godzilla. I have to leave a treasure to rot without using it. These are the Godzilla cells? For Japan, which was badly hit by the atomic bomb and Godzilla, I don't think it's bad to make weapons that transcends nuclear, from Godzilla cells. A quake? A while ago, a large-scale eruption occurred at Mt. Mihara on Oshima lsland. Along with this, in the Kanto region, earthquakes with seismic intensity 3 to 5 have been recorded. Mt. Mihara is still erupting, blowing up the burning lava and smoke into the night sky, dyeing it a creepy red. If nothing is done, Erika will die. That's right. Shiragami, you accept the job? Thank you. Dr. Shiragami accepted the job? So he's coming here tomorrow then? On one condition. That is, he keeps the Godzilla cells, in his laboratory for one week. So what are you going to do? Make the anti-nuclear bacteria with Dr. Shiragami? Yes, to defeat Godzilla. You're dealing with the opposition. But, will Godzilla even appear? What if we make the bacteria, then Godzilla doesn't come? You sound as if you'd like to invite Godzilla here. I'm not joking. We'll have created a new monster even more powerful than Godzilla. It's merely... very small bacteria that we're going to make, by arranging genes. But if things go on this way, genetic technology will surely produce a monster worse than Godzilla. Kirishima, even if we don't make it, I'm sure someone will make the same thing someday. Look at what human beings have done and you'll see. Then, what'll we scientists do? I see you still don't seem to understand science. There's no significant movements, but subtle ups and downs. SECOND ALARM SYSTEM IN CASE ANY PHYSICAL SIGN OF G'S ACTION SUCH AS VOICE AND MOTION IS CONFIRMED The Super X2, with the introduction of the most advanced computing hardware, is now run via autopilot and remote control. What's more, it can go underwater. Submerging to depths of up to a thousand metres. The exterior is a super heat-resistant alloy TA32, which is twice as durable as the the former Super X alloy. Come this way. This is the highlight, the Fire Mirror. A mirror made of synthetic diamonds. With a mirror that's 10,000 times more resistant and reflective than before, Godzilla's heat rays reflect 10,000 times when he hits it directly. Really? Really! TSUKUBA BIOTECH LABORATORY It's done. It'll increase, multiplied by division, two in thirty minutes, four in an hour, sixteen in two hours... Four trillion in a day. It's terrifying. FIRST ALARM SYSTEM BACKUP Kirishima speaking. What? Dr Shiragami's lab? The body was that of a Biomajor agent. They oke in for the documents on anti-nuclear energy bacteria. But what in God's name happened? Is that why you kept the Godzilla cells last week? With Godzilla cells, they carry a gene for regenerative abilties, I intended to create a plant with eternal life. Did you actually? Maybe. This could be a disaster. We demand you deliver the completed anti-nuclear energy bacteria to us in 24 hours, that is two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. If you refuse, we will cause Mt. Mihara to erupt, to revive Godzilla. They faxed it over to the official residence today. The name of our organisation is Alien. Sounds bullshit. Biomajor. Only they should know the existence of anti-nuclear bacteria. They must be bluffing. The Prime Minister? He's more concerned about the opposition than Godzilla. They aren't bluffing. The phone call was from Mt. Mihara. There was an explosion that was meant as a warning. An explosion? Read the rest. Exactly, as a warning. We have completed all preparations. As proof of this, at 14:00 hours, 24 hours before the time limit, a remote control switch will trigger some of the explosives. They're threatening Japan. And Godzilla's their hostage. Here! Somewhere in the lake. Deliver the anti-nuclear bacteria to Biomajor? I see. If that's what the government has decided. I will accompany you. Doctor. Science is nothing more than just a political tool. Why are you saying that? Are you saying that it's normal? Dr. Shiragami! In Lake Ashi! Stay back! It's dangerous! That plant. That isn't an ordinary plant. It's Biollante. Biollante? The spirit of a plant which appears in Norse mythology. That plant has a human spirit. Human spirit? Doctor, I think Erika is in that plant... How? She's calling me. Asuka, please help me. You didn't just fuse Godzilla cells with that of a plant. But cells from a human, too. What do you mean... This is what you call science? It's not like a plastic model. You can't just mix Godzilla cells and bacteria together... I can't understand what scientists do. Too much for me. I'll check it. You'd better hurry, Alien. The switch is inside the container. Come. What the hell is this all about? Arsehole! I'd rather hear it from you! I don't have the time! Saradia? - It won't open! It won't open! - Oops, keys, keys! The keys... Oh, here's the keys. They got away with the ANB. That can wait! It's getting crazy here. Amen. THIRD ALARM SYSTEM IN CASE G APPEARS. Godzilla will be released... The anti-nuclear bacteria has been taken... It's the worst thing you could have imagined. I have been waiting for this time. My servants, listen to my voice and... What? It seems we have a special bulletin. Listen to the bulletin. Let me interrupt the programme. Here's a special bulletin. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mt. Mihara on Oshima lsland suddenly erupted, and Godzilla appeared from the volcano. Godzilla's out. We must go back to Tokyo. Biollante is crying. A warning alert has just been issued along the coast of Tokyo Bay. Residents, please prepare for evacuation immediately. Please forgive my interruption of the scheduled programme. Here's the latest news about Godzilla. Godzilla, who appeared from Mt. Mihara on Oshima lsland, is moving along Uraga Channel towards Tokyo. DEFENCE AGENCY OPERATIONS CENTRE Sitting idle will have Godzilla landing in Tokyo again. Super X2, get to Runway 2. I repeat. Super X2, get to Runway 2. 41st Fleet has commenced attack. 42nd Fleet is standing by. Copy that, we're standing by. Preparations ready. I'm Colonel Kuroki of the Special Operations Office. I was told to take command of Super X2 and the attack on Godzilla. That rumoured young elite unit... Now flying smoothly at cruising speed Mach 1. It'll arrive at Uraga soon. Switch to the Super X2 cameras. Roger. Activate the Fire Mirror. Aim towards Godzilla! Fire Mirror, set on. We did it! Godzilla's heading west. Colonel Kuroki, emergency call for you. It seems Godzilla gave up landing in Tokyo. Yes, Kuroki speaking. Oh, Mr. Gondo. Shall we lift the alarm off the Tokyo Bay coast? What? The anti-nuclear bacteria has been stolen? Close all airports? Understood, I'll see to it. - Get the Governor of Tokyo on the phone. - Yes, sir. Don't cancel the alarm yet. Tell the press and media that we're still fighting Godzilla in the Uraga Channel. Kuroki, isn't that information manipulation? Attention, please. This is an announcement from the airport office. The airport is closed due to Godzilla advancing off Tateyama. All fiights, arriving and departing are cancelled. Here's the latest news on Godzilla. Godzilla has stopped in the ocean between Miura and Tateyama, suffering the attack by the Self-Defence Corps. Both Haneda and Narita airports are closed due to this incident. There is currently no prospect of reopening. The helicopter has found the car. It's on Tomei Expressway heading west. Tomei? Where's he off to? Saradia Oil Corporation. The only company with a Saradian investment in Japan. The office is in Osaka. The manager used to be a secret agent working for Saradia. It sends a freighter once a week to Saradia from Kobe. He's going to smuggle the bacteria by ship. If we can get the bacteria back, we can defeat Godzilla. Then Japan will get hold of a limitless amount of Godzilla cells. But, Dr. Shiragami is... Dr. Shiragami! I'm from TNN Television. I would like to ask you a few questions. I've heard that the giant plant was created through your experiments to splice Godzilla cells with a plant. Dr. Shiragami? You people always criticise anything you don't understand, without thinking of our future. Maybe it isn't Erika anymore. It doesn't seem to react to our feelings. Then Biollante is... A rabid monster combining a rose with Godzilla. What is it? It's Godzilla... Godzilla. Biollante is sensing Godzilla. Godzilla has turned north, heading for Odawara. Don't let him go near the coast. Pin it down in the sea. Read you. Commence underwater attack! The mirror's concentration rate has dropped to forty percent. The Fire Mirror seems to have begun melting. We can't control the focus, either. Why...? The mirror's heat-proof, but not like the TA32 armour. Let's switch it to a missile attack It's out of control! That's all Super X2 can do. Can you ing it back to base? I'll try. Godzilla has landed at Odawara, and turned toward Lake Ashi, along Route 1 through Odawara City. I repeat, Godzilla is heading for Lake Ashi from Odawara City. The 1st and 34th Regiments have arrived at the end of the lake. They're going to be stationed there. Move it! Quick, all of you this way! Doctor. It's dangerous, get inside! Okay! Miki, you too! Doctor! What's going on? The winner will only become our enemy. Did Godzilla come... to see the creature knowing it was made from its own cells? Maybe. They're like others. Not simply others. They're not siblings or anything like that, they're literal alter egos. An animal for one, a plant for the other. Is Biollante...? Maybe Godzilla's heat ray stimulated Biollante's cell division abnormally. An immortal plant can't die. Godzilla is in Sagami Bay? So it's gone out to sea? Yes, we're trying our best to fix it. Yes... How is it? The computer is ok, so if we replace the remote control circuit, it can fiy again. But the Fire Mirror is beyond repair. The armour can be replaced easily, but the mirror... Can't you fix it? It's badly deformed in too many places. Godzilla melted a mirror harder than diamond. It's beyond our technological limit. Helicopter 3, No reaction to radar or sonar. Helicopter 1, no sign of Godzilla. Understood. Helicopter 2, come in. Let's search again from the beginning, Suruga Bay to the Pacific Ocean. - Yes, sir. - Yes, sir. If we lose Godzilla here, we'll have no chance. 101st Air Squadron now above the ocean off Omaezaki Point. Expanding the search range again from Suruga Bay and continue patrol. Understood. 101st Air Squadron, continue patrolling at a lower altitude. Doctor. Miss Okochi. Colonel Kuroki wants you on the phone. As she did at Mount Mihara, via helicopter, is it possible to sense Godzilla in water? We'll run out of fuel if we go further. We won't be able to return to Tokyo. A little longer... Then we'll land nearby at Osaka. All right. Here! Down there, it's moving slowly. Godzilla is going west 100 kilometres off Hamamatsu along the Pacific coast. After absorbing plenty of nuclear energy at the last nuclear power plant in Shizuoka, Godzilla landed in Tokyo. This time it hasn't got any supply of nuclear material. Besides, it lost a lot of energy fighting Super X2 and Biollante. So it'll go to an nuclear plant again? The nearest nuclear plants are... There are four at Takahama, two at Oi, three at Mihama, one at Donen Fugen, one at Tsuruga. Twelve in all. That is one third of Japan's nuclear plants. If Godzilla goes to that bay... Even if one reactor is destroyed, Japan will... Judging from the present location of Godzilla, the nearest plant is here. That's Nagoya. A fieet of frigates and submarines on and under the sea, Super X2 in the bay, squadrons of fighting helicopters in the sky, peninsulas of Shima, Chita and Atsumi, and ground troops on the three. Here, we'll launch an all-out attack on Godzilla. An all-out attack in Ise Bay? I'd choose Wakasa Bay where Godzilla would surely appear. What if we muster all our forces in Ise but Godzilla doesn't come? It's an interesting war game for an elite strategist. Kure Troops, 22nd and 23rd Guards, prepare to move! Godzilla has appeared. It's moving along Kii Channel toward Osaka Bay. Osaka? Not Nagoya? - Send the Super X2 to Osaka. - Yes, sir. - All ships, to Kii Channel. - Yes, sir. All aircraft, to Osaka Bay. Close the Meishin Expressway that leads to Osaka and send the ground troops to Osaka. Wait, there's no time! I know, but we must do something! Send all our forces to Hokuriku Motorway through Yonabaru along Meishin Expressway. We'll prepare for a counterattack against Godzilla there in Wakasa. Even if we send our troops to Osaka, we'll have no chance. But in Wakasa, there's a way to win. Then what'll happen to Osaka? My job is to beat the enemy for all or nothing. Godzilla's landing at Osaka must be delayed, and I'll see to it. Will you take care of the residents' evacuation? Get in contact with Ms. Asuka Okochi in Osaka. Yes, sir. KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION BASE Miki. Will you keep away from her? Please leave her alone, I'll stay here. I can't do that. Please do as I say! Leave! Psychokinesis? Whatever it is, it's only her mind. You can't make a girl fight Godzilla with that. It's out of question! We could delay Godzilla's landing in Osaka, even if only for a little while. I believe in her power myself. Miki! Frigates Murasame and Shirane have reached Kii Channel. All troops, prepare for emergency. They're too late. Too close to the city of Osaka to attack. FOURTH ALARM SYSTEM IN CASE OF G LANDING ON ANY SPECIFIC COAST IN JAPAN. Everyone, in the midst of this concert, Godzilla is on course for Osaka! Please hurry and evacuate according to the instructions of the staff! Godzilla is on course to land in the city from Osaka Bay. Citizens, please evacuate quickly according to the expected course estimates. Do not panic. While folowing radio and TV information, please act calmly. Godzilla is currently off the coast of Nanko towards the city of Osaka. Citizens should stay calm and evacuate promptly. What are you looking for? Is it hard to find? I'm sorry! Who are you? We're looters. Not exactly, the thief is over there. You are! I'll be taking back what you've stolen. Pull out! Passing the north of Osaka Central Park, entering the Business Park. Colonel Gondo left just now with an ANB-loaded rocket gun. Good. Super X2? Waiting at Osaka Business Park. Come on! - Break a leg! - Right! Attack Godzilla from the front and lure him to the skyscraper to his right. Is that possible? Without the Fire Mirror? I'll try, with all the missiles and Vulcan Cannons. Good, keep at it! We're out of missiles. Colonel Gondo and three other commandos are now in position. A little more... Activate the Fire Mirror! But... The damaged parts may melt again. It's the only way to pin down Godzilla. Fire! We did it! Alright, retreat! Colonel Gondo, Colonel Gondo! Godzilla is right behind you, watch out! Colonel Gondo, Colonel Gondo! Medicines are better taken than injected. Right, Mister Godzilla? Colonel Gondo! Godzilla, who landed in Osaka City yesterday, advanced to the Tanba Highlands from northern Osaka at midnight. Naturally, she's exhausted. She emitted as much energy from her small body as Godzilla did. What a crazy thing to do. Yes? There's a call for you, Mr. Kirishima. Thanks. Oh, Mr. Kuroki. Yes... It's been nearly fourteen hours, but there's no visible change in Godzilla. If the ANB doesn't work in another eight hours... Is that so? I understand. I'll get a helicopter ready. Come to Tokyo quickly. Anti-nuclear bacteria should take effect within six to twelve hours. Eight hours on the average. It must show some sign of effect. Maybe Godzilla is too big for the dose we gave it. No. One ANB rocket shell is enough for one atomic plant. Three hit Godzilla, with one entering his mouth. It's more than enough. Then why...? I don't know. Ice... A power outage would be a disaster. Godzilla crushed the Kita-Osaka substation. The hospital doesn't have enough to generate power on its own. What's the matter? By any chance... Godzilla's temperature? Yes, I guess it's very low. Is that important? There's no data about Godzilla's temperature. Such a plausibility... But, why so? Bacteria's growth and chemical reactions slow down when the temperature is low. That means the anti-nuclear bacteria can't work because of the low temperature. It's possible. Then if Godzilla's temperature rises... How? The M-6000 TC System. Kuroki. TC System? The Thunder Control System. Artificial thunder, causing high frequency waves to create clouds, then heat. An electronic range of a gigantic size. Kuroki, that project is still in the testing stage. Finished spreading silver iodide in the sky above Wakasa Bay. Expecting artificial clouds in about two hours. The reinforcements gathering on Wakasa Bay will be ready soon. Get off! B-4, instalment finished. - G-8, instalment finished! - Copy that. All teams ready? This is Mobile Operations Headquarters. 100 on-ground potential difference generators installed in an hour. Land levelling team, hurry! Copy that! Hurry! Godzilla's coming! To your positions! Be quick! Look at his sleeping face. It's hard to believe this young man is the driving force of this battalion. The time is up for my generation. It's yours and his turn. If people keep repeating the same mistakes, a new age will never come. Withdraw to designated positions! Stand by for the tank offensive! Godzilla has reached Obama. Two kilometres south, approaching the First Defence Line. The clouds have appeared as expected. All that's needed is the charge. - Good. TC System, stand by. Godzilla has entered the TC System field. B-2. That must've raised Godzilla's temperature. How hot is it? So hot, it could easily melt a tank. Godzilla's getting out of the field. Stop him! Push him back! Yes, sir! Commence fire! It's back in the field. Good. G-4. Doctor. - First Defence Line destroyed. Second and Third Defence Lines, stand by for offence. If Godzilla's temperature has risen, the ANB should start to take effect. Kuroki, at this rate... Takahama Power Plant is in a state of emergency. Understood. Takahama Power Plant has announced a state of emergency. Why did you come here? It's dangerous! Biollante is still alive, Miki said so. What? Godzilla! It worked! The anti-nuclear bacteria worked! Really? Helicopter Squadron, attack! What a monster! Is Godzilla immune to anti-nuclear bacteria? It can't be true. Takahama Power Plant is in a final state of emergency. Miki! Where are you going? Where? I don't know, but... You're in danger! Come back! - What caused it? - Strong signal interference. Biollante... - Look! Biollante is... evolving! Biollante! Look at Godzilla! The ANB worked! Dr. Shiragami, congratulations! We're going to put it to practical use. Let's make samples of the gene and put them on the production line. I won't make any more anti-nuclear bacteria. Or another Biollante. What's the matter? Do it again, Shiragami. We have an inexhaustible supply of Godzilla cells. Godzilla, nor Biollante aren't the real monsters. The real monsters are the arrogant scientists who created them. Biollante! Thank you. Biollante said it. Erika... - Doctor! - Doctor! Shiragami! It's him. You were like Batman! How's the doctor? The seawater must've lowered Godzilla's body temperature again. Godzilla's gone back to the sea, Biollante has gone to the sky. And we're going to America. Thanks, but I'm not going to America. Why not? Everywhere you go, people do the same thing. Good things or stupid things. Then where will you go? Let me see. First of all, to bed. I haven't slept in days. Shall we go together? From now on? Always! When did we come to live in such an era like this? It may have started from the day we took our first steps towards God. Please try to remember this. One last time.
Hey. We've travelled thousands of miles, by plane, train and car, and here we are... about to play double or nothing. Francis, there's no easy answer. You can be stately like the Sphinx, or you can beat him to a pulp. -Either way, they'll say I'm arrogant. -So what? As usual... Arrogant, condescending and pretentious. -That's marvelous! -How so? If you're the best, you can't be modest. That's impossible. People want a leader. -What's on for tomorrow? -Your last meeting is in Rouen. -Do I stay over? -Rouen's nice, isn't it? Yeah, yeah... You're in a 3-star hotel, right off the highway. But it's secluded, in a small park. Renovated in 2004 and run since 1971 by Ginette Sweetheart. Ginette Sweetheart? You're kidding, right? I'm sure I'm pretty close. That'll be fine. -Time to go, partner. -Let's go. There's Francis. Good evening. You're still the President during the debate. If he attacks on that front, let him. No, he just got here. I can't talk. I'll call you back. -How are you, Cyril? -Good, and you? -Good luck, Mr. Auzanet. -Same to you. -Welcome, Mr. Laugier. -Hello. Were you with Francis? -Did you mention proposition 17? -No. You couldn't care less about what I say. You don't talk numbers before an election debate. -What do you talk about? -You try to relax. This isn't about politics now. It's just two men, a winner and a loser. -That's so Darwin. -Totally. 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... Good evening. Welcome to the 2nd round debate, a Fifth Republic institution, and the highlight of this election. -Hello, Romain. -Hello, Wendy. Good evening, everyone. Gentlemen... Francis Laugier, Jean-Marc Auzanet, welcome. Before we get started with the debate, how is your state of mind? Mr. Laugier, the vote is in 5 days. How are you feeling? We have to talk. Confident, and very pleased to participate in this debate. Eager to discuss our programs with our fellow citizens. -What's up? -Go outside. -Grab someone's phone. -What? Make something up. Say your mom's sick. Call this number. Say I'm on my way. -He'll understand. Go! -OK, I'm on it. I have relentlessly criticized your job cuts, Mr. Auzanet. -How many? -Excuse me? -How many job cuts? -Don't accuse me without facts. You've cut countless jobs. -It's common knowledge. -I'm asking you how many? You don't know the numbers. Just admit it. Truthfully, I hate numbers, Mr. Auzanet. You can't govern properly on the basis of numbers. I believe the French want to elect a President, not an accountant. Perhaps if you hadn't spent the past 5 years looking over numbers, you wouldn't have lost sight of the people. Without numbers, you can't embody the nation's future. 43,000. 43,000 layoffs. It's a first since 1945. You wanted numbers. I'm warning you... Your phone! Stop it! Shit! -You're mad! -I'm listening. The fraud squad is about to arrest you. Dammit! -Why? -The Dunkerque Housing Board. Six cars were sent to search at 6 AM. They're waiving your immunity and inging you in. -Just me? -You're the target. But the Treasurer comes too. -Joel Domfront? -Maybe. -Young union guy? -That's him. -What's the source? -I don't know. I'm only back-up on the case. Thank you both. I have seven hours. To clean up the Housing Board. I need cash to fill the hole. The campaign cost a lot. -Who's the guy who warned you? -A friend, a cop. A good Northern guy. A Socialist. And he'd risk his career for his party? Look at Auzanet... He spent 20 minutes on the economy. What a bastard! Who can help us out tonight? We close in the red. You know it. One of your CEO backers? No, that's too risky. What's your plan? I'll sort out the cash myself. It's safer that way. You shouldn't be in the loop. Your mind should be focused on changing the country. Our minds... I'll be President, you'll run the Party. -Forget this. -Thanks, Philippe. Forget about it! Philippe Rickwaert MP NORTH DEPARTMENT The Socialist candidate was aggressive, repeatedly referring to Auzanet's social and economic results as a double failure. CLAMEX ON STRIKE Something's gotta give. -It's empty! -I told you so. Late payments. -How much is missing? -A lot... Joel, how much is a lot? -100,000... 120,000... -Which is it? -120,000... -We need to find cash. In the middle of the night? -Is this yours? -Mine's this one. Here? Is that it? No numbers at home? No paperwork? Burn it all. Destroy it. Get rid of everything, far from here. The cops are coming. I saw you with a laptop at headquarters. Smash it. -Go home and smash it. -OK. What do I tell the cops? -Say you were getting spam. -Like a virus? You were taking it in, and it was stolen from your car. Get to work! I'll sort out the cash. Vero, I need to see you. Come to my place. OK, I'm on my way. What's up? I had a fight with Mom. I left you messages. Salome, you can't come here whenever you fight. You try watching the debate with a right-wing guy! My step-father's a total jerk. Now's not the time. Go to bed. I smell cigarettes! -What's wrong? -We need to find cash. Ask for 10,000. Don't accept less than 4,000. If anyone sees me selling electronics... -I'm the mayor. -Paris can't help? I can't involve Francis. -Someone leaked. -Not now. This won't ing much. What's your plan? My other'll know who to ask. He'll ask his boss. I don't give a damn who it is! It's not so simple. Stop it! We don't have time for this. Hi. I should start the conversation. No, Bruno. I'll do the talking. Hello, Mr. Mayor. Hi, Gerard. -How much? -120,000. Looks like your other's in trouble. Philippe, tell him... You want a drink? Get me a drink. Politics, huh? A dog-eat-dog world! Can you help me or not? I'll see what I have. You said it's political. Explain. You think I can't understand? You know the Housing Board? Low-income housing. 16,000 apartments in the area. It's been under Party control for 30 years. Debt is ignored for the people who become members. -Of what? -The Party. They vote as they're told. In the primaries, they all voted for Laugier. Over time, given the tenants' income level, the shortfall grows. So we fill it up, we make the bosses pay. Construction, elevators, security... whoever holds public contracts. They pay partially in cash, to fill the hole. We say our tenants pay in cash. Bosses paying rent for the poor... Sounds like Robin Hood! The money also goes towards campaigns and meetings. Right now, in the current context, we spent a lot. We're suffering. -Audits scare us... -So you need money. Exactly. Normally, you'd steer clear of me. But you thought, in this case... He's good for filling holes, right? So let's fill holes. -I'm overdrawn. -Dammit! -Why my card? -I can' t use mine. I'll explain. -Explain now! -I'm sorry. Vero! I'll explain tomorrow. Here's 70,000. You don't care where it's from? Funny, I care about you... Ask your other. I'm always asking about you. It'll be fixed in a week. That's all, Mr. Mayor? Thank you, Gerard. Look, it's Ginette Sweetheart. 85,200. Plus Balleroy's 70,000 and 8,000 from Paris. -There's only 7,000. -Recount! -You're kidding... -Now! They'll be here in 2 hours. We're still missing almost 34,000. -I only got 3,000. -Better than nothing. -How's he going? -Fine, he's a trooper. You sure? -You don't need me? -No, rest up. All this dirty money... I don't get it. Get what? What don't you get, Joel? I know... The primary, the presidential campaign... So you do get it. Yeah... What don't you understand? Joel, I'm asking you a question. You think I'm a thief? That I stole it? You want to talk about morality? Fine, sit down. What do you want to know? Go ahead. I'm not accusing you. I took you in when you were in trouble. You know me. You know my life, my family. Am I driven by money? I apologize. We stole nothing. We're activists. We get dirty to help others. We do good. We can be proud of ourselves. -How are we...? -That's the real question. Why is this happening right before the 2nd round? It's a smear campaign by the Conservatives. Right, it's a political move. We can't retaliate politically. It's all about nailing Laugier and me. We're playing for the presidency. I can't be in the picture. No ties to the board. This can't come back to me. But you're the administrator! That's not an operational job. I'm not the accountant. It could be a one-man job. -Are you suggesting...? -You're the Treasurer. You have access to accounts, files, the safe... Maybe they have witnesses... Who cares? As long as they have no proof. Nothing to build a case on. You'll be great. You'll drive them crazy. They'll hate their job. We've no choice. If the Left loses, we go down. You have to sacrifice yourself. If you take the blame, this goes away. No impact on the elections. -I don't want to go to jail. -You won't. Not for 30,000. Especially if we win. Not if we're in power. It's a political move, like I said. To discredit us. They don't give a damn about you. Use your head! Don't be scared. What do I tell my parents? What are you doing tomorrow? I'm going to the union office in the morning. Do as you planned. What if we lose? At most, you'll get a warning and a fine. We'll cover it. What's my motive? You've seen my lifestyle. -You gamble. -What? You're a compulsive gambler. It won't stand up. People know I don't bet. Not even a game on my phone. Exactly, to avoid temptation. You play for money, which is different. You're ashamed. Like a guy who drinks in the car before going home. I know what you're thinking. I doubt it... You're thinking of the past... You had faith, strength and courage... You still do. Come on, son. They're only cops. We are activists. You'll need to be strong tomorrow. Come on. It'll be OK. -Your Honor. -Hello. -Take it. -OK, I will. Fine. Domfront isn't home. Let's find him. You guys, come with me. Excuse me. Joel... Are you OK? I'll be fine. You really have to go to Clamex? The media's already there. So what? Should I be ashamed that Joel was my friend? He hadn't even seen the cops. Everyone will think he's guilty. You want people to know you drove him home at 6 AM? You'll turn the spotlight on you, Laugier and the Party. 4 days before the election? Remember, you're the target. I'll go. You talk to that cop. Find out what they have. -It'll be OK. -Yes, it will. Let's go. -Hello? -We need to talk. Damn cop! Stephane, I haven't forgotten. I have no news. When will Rickwaert speak? Hold on one second. I'll call you back. -Mr. Rickwaert's office. -It's me. How's it going? The media's been calling. They're waiting for your statement. I keep saying you'll call back. Tell them I'm in mourning. Where should I tell them you are? You don't know. I'm mourning. They want Laugier's reaction too. -In Rouen? Let them go there. -No, on the Housing Board. His people say he'll speak out tonight. -What? And say what? -That's why I'm asking you. Wonderful! Neck-and-neck, no? Excuse me. Is Francis there? Yes, Philippe. I'll take it. Here he is. -It's me. -We need to meet. I'm leaving now. I'll be in Rouen in 3 hours. Find some time before your meeting. -You'll mention the Housing Board? -I've no choice. You have to keep quiet! Watch your tone of voice! Are you turning on me? -Oh, stop it! -What'll you say? Just the usual. That justice must take its course and that I have no further comment. If you do that, you're admitting there's an issue. You'll justify the search, and make us both look guilty. -Attack Auzanet. -Attack him with what? Shouldn't he have to justify a pre-election search? It depends on the proof! There is no proof. I cleaned up myself. With Joel's death, Auzanet is already backing down. Look at me. -Am I in custody? -This is what he wants. For us to say he's rigged the election. So he can show his proof and destroy us. Did you see the BVA poll? The IFOP poll is worse. I couldn't look. It's only a matter of hours. I'm meeting my cop later. -We can't decide without the file. -Will he hand it over? He has no choice. He's in it up to his neck! When do you see him? 8 PM, once he's in Paris. 8 PM? That's too late. Is there the slightest chance this could lead back to me? Not the slightest. -No documents, no recordings, nothing? -None. -And the search? -I counted myself. -How much is missing? -Francis... Sorry, but I have to insist. -This is hard for me. -Not a single euro is missing. What if they do find something between you and the Board? It'll just be about me. I know what I'm doing. I know the risks and I accept them. It won't happen. Last night, the Socialists were cele ating Laugier's lead in the debate. But they have woken up to a nightmare. Hour by hour... Not now. I'll call you later. -Who is it? -Wrong address. Shit! The Conservatives put Laugier under added pressure by confirming that Mayor and MP Rickwaert, a staunch Laugier supporter, was the target of the fraud squad investigation. Laugier is expected to make a statement at his meeting in Rouen tonight. Damn Francis! Why the silence? No more press conference! Is he crazy? Do we just suffer in silence, waiting for justice to run its course? -These union guys are fascists. -Armand, please! The North? Rickwaert? The Housing Board? It stinks to high heaven! So, Amelie? He'll speak, right? -That's his choice. -No... -Tell him the truth! -Calm down. You're not helping! Didn't I warn him about Rickwaert? I'm the only one who opens his mouth! You're screwing up! In mourning... That's his answer? Dammit! This bastard dicks us around, and we sit here, begging for more! Who's the bastard? Who's getting dicked around? Just so I get it right? -You have to say something. -I will, tomorrow. -We'll be lynched by then. -Trust me. Focus on the 2nd round. By Sunday night, you'll be heroes! -It'll be too late. Laurent, I'm confused. Are you the one running for President? I can help. Meet me at La Defense. OK, I'm listening. I can spare you jail time. If you had anything, I'd be in handcuffs. Actually, our file's as thick as my dick. But you're a lucky guy. Because, unlike the judge, we don't give a damn about you. -We want the big guy. -Tell Auzanet to dream on. Try saying Mr. President. For another 5 marvelous years. Why stick with your boyfriend? Soon he'll be making keynote speeches for 100,000 an hour. Sorry, that's the ex-President rate. You're Socialists. You don't really care about money. Someone gave you up. He knows you well. He'll go the distance. The judge trusts him implicitly. We've got you. Who is it? You'll find out once we have a deal. What's your offer? South East Asia. Thailand, Laos, Cambodia... Come back in a couple of years. We'll drag out the trial. It'll end in an acquittal or a dismissal. As a former MP, you'll pass the Bar, and open a law firm. It's an easy road back to politics, if that's what you want. You won't be the first or the last to make that detour. What do you get in exchange? Get on a plane tomorrow with a very attractive Paris Match journalist. Tell her everything. You extorted money for Laugier's campaign, but he betrayed you. -Tomorrow morning? -9 AM. This will be on the plane. Look, we're not angels, but we don't deserve jail. Don't you agree? -Hi, Dad. -Where are you, honey? At your place. Mom stresses me out. A reporter was waiting for me at school. He asked me stuff about Francis. He knew he was my godfather. Don't worry, I ran away. I'm not worried. -Dad... -What, honey? -Did you talk to Mom? -About what? About me living with you. You know, right now... Yeah, I know. Listen... I've got to go. -Is there enough food? -Yeah, don't worry. -You're not coming home? -I'm not sure when. OK? I love you, Dad. I just spoke to a journalist friend. The cops found a 30,000-euro hole in the Housing Board accounts. Rickwaert tried to cover it up, but he didn't do enough. And he didn't warn me, which I don't like. How did he know about the raid? I have no idea. Some cop? Who knows? The board's budget is 310 million. Who cares about 30,000? 30,000 or 300,000... It makes no difference. Now, they'll pull out the big guns. So we shoot first. Your friendship with Philippe is your weakness. Make it your strength. Spell it out to him. If he's guilty, he should pay. Your responsibility to the country supersedes friendship. It may sound callous, but it will help you rise above it all. -Lightning... -Yes, like Jupiter. Make the lightning speak. Don't be sentimental. Use the full scope of your authority. What on earth's going on, you idiot? You having second thoughts? Is that it? If I go down, you go with me. Spit it out. -It was Joel. -What about him? Joel Domfront was the snitch. That's impossible. He met my boss and told him everything. -Meaning? -I don't know. It was off-record. There's no paperwork, no trace. He was scared. He gave us hints so we'd start looking. -No proof? -We were counting on the search. And on Joel. We were going to lean on him in custody. There, he'd have given us concrete facts. Now he's dead, and you've got nothing. Exactly. Idiot! Francis, let's talk. I have some news. Please clear the room. I saw my cop. They have nothing. You remember saying, not a single euro missing? -What? -There are 30,000 euros missing. You betrayed my trust. The budget is 310 million. 30 grand out of 310 million. That's late rent, not a gap. And that's not all. -I can't wait. -Don't do that. -I took all the risks. -I'm listening! The cops thought Joel would spill the beans. But he killed himself. Who would kill themselves before the police showed up, unless they were guilty? -And he was. He stole 30,000 to help the workers during the strike. A tragic by-line... fueled by the crisis and manipulated by the Right. Who would tell that story? The Clamex workers. The union guys. Joel's friends, people I helped. It's their turn to help. They'll help you lie to the media, the cops and the judges... You want to win? Come to Joel's funeral. There, you announce a plan to save Clamex, if you're elected. And you denounce Auzanet's tactics. 3000 men will be there, teary-eyed and ready to listen. Hard-knock guys with tough lives. That's who votes for you. Like in Stalinist times? With condemned factories? Will they sing The Internationale? With beer and hot dogs? Workers disgust you! -They smell, they're dirty... -You and your proletarian act... I'm upper middle-class, so screw you! Enough! They have nothing. All they had was Joel! I'm sorry. What will you do now? Jupiter? Friends... Joel's death is a horrible blow, a terrible shock. I only wish I had heard his cry sooner. But in truth, I was unavailable. For several months, he talked to me about the fight, the strike... about the despair... Your despair! I replied with pacts of trust and European recovery plans. Listen, my friends... Whatever Joel did, he did in good conscience. People had to resist. Resist through 23 weeks of partial unemployment. Resist for the country's 6 million workers. And Joel resisted, sacrificing his honor to the cause. While we... I... I left him alone with his courage. In dying, Joel has opened my eyes. Now, I'm here. But where are the others? My Socialist friends? My Parisian cohorts? My fellow assemblymen? And most importantly... Where is our candidate? What does his silence mean? I know he's listening. I know he's watching us. Through us... will he hear Joel's call? Following the revelations by Mr. Rickwaert, at the recycling plant where the employees were gathered, several other factories have gone on strike across the country, in Rennes, Besancon and St. Nazaire. Union member Joel Domfront's suicide has profoundly affected the working class, who cried out We are Joel... -You OK? -Fine. What will you do now? Spend more time here. I've missed my city. That's not what I meant. He means, about Laugier. How will you handle it? He'll never forgive you. Even if he loses, he'll still run the Party. Good luck to him, without the North! -We'll need a new candidate. -True! Comrades, whatever Sunday ings, the legislative elections will follow. -Cheers! -Cheers! How about a sausage, Mr. MP? -Are they halal? -100 halal. Certified in heaven! Exactly! -Cheers, guys! -Cheers! Ladies and gentlemen... -Welcome, Francis. -Hello. Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Hi. -It must be election time. -Soon. The media only come for the politicians. We've been on strike for weeks. You've never come before. You hear? Come here more often, even without me. Hello, sir. -How about a selfie? -Sure. Thank you. Let me show you around. Thank you, gentlemen. How was the trip? -Fine. -No traffic? Gentlemen, hello. Please, don't move. I'm Pascal, controller. Yves is an electrician. Been here 37 years. 39 years! -Jeannot, union delegate. -My pleasure. This young guy is Philippe. He's a mechanic. This is where the boys take their eaks. Interesting eaks, I see. -This way. -Thanks, guys. I hope the Socialists won't forget us this time. Why else would I be here? I heard your call, and I'm here to support you. If you support us, wear a striker's pin. No pins. But I'll make a promise for the factory. A beer for me! Thanks! To Clamex! Even if you're President, I'll never be your dog. Did Mr. Domfront ever give you money? Yes, Joel helped us out. A gift at the end of each month. So we could hold out and pay our bills. -He was one of us. -Thank you. As you can hear, Clamex employees are saying that the Housing Board slush fund helped finance their strike. There was no secret financing of the Socialist party. There will be no further legal action before the 2nd round of the presidential election. We've just seen footage from Francis Laugier's impromptu visit to the industrial North, which was a great success. Laugier just committed to resolving the Clamex problem, a move that should reassure the country's workers while fostering dialogue with the labor unions. Number 1112. -Mr. Rickwaert, Philippe. -Voted. At 3 PM, voter turnout is up 2.3. -Good. -Great. Do you know how I met Rickwaert? 18 years ago, at the Orleans conference. He was a secondary local official in Dunkerque, He was clearly ambitious, eager to move up. He talked to everyone. He had an opinion on everything. I received a call on the 2nd evening: Go back to Paris, now! I went to my car and found 2 slashed tires. I couldn't change them until morning. Philippe happened to walk by, to pick up his car, parked next to mine. He offered to take me to Paris. We chatted throughout the 2-hour drive to Paris. It took him 14 years to admit he had slashed my tires! Crazy, huh? He's crazy. I've always known. Crazy and dangerous.
Mrs. Vivian Berare, Minister of Finance and Public Accounts. Mr. Alain-Pierre Jubin, Minister of Economy, Industry and Digital Technology. Mrs. Christine Salem, Minister of Social Affairs and Health. Mr. Sylvain Guynert, Minister of Labor and Social Dialogue. Mr. Gilbert... -Hello. -Hello. An excellent choice. -This model... -I haven't chosen yet. -You were in front, so I thought... -I do like this one. I have the TV for you. I'll show you. It's more contemporary, more cutting-edge. The latest generation, with the curved screen. Yes, I've heard of the curved screen before. Right, the curved screen. -What's the difference? -The depth of field. -Do you watch football? -Don't we all? Absolutely. With this screen, you'll feel like you're on the field... ...Rickwaert, close to the President... -Is that you? -It's me. ...not part of the newly appointed cabinet. But the real surprise is the absence of the Environmentalists. No Green Party member is part of this new government. The choice of governing without the Green Party is perceived as an authoritative move, one that no one had anticipated. This is the first political milestone of Francis Laugier's 5-year term... The legislative elections are soon. You're not his priority! Like a hunter and his prey. He'll do anything. He's obsessed with me. He overlooked the Greens just to kill your career? You can't understand. The Party itself is at stake. If I'm not an MP, I'll never run the Party. He just took office. He must have other things to do. Such as? Auzanet took all the files. The nuclear codes are all he left behind. Laugier's not about to bomb Pyongyang, right? The best thing he can do is clean up around him. He's obsessed with me! That district can't go to the Greens! It belongs to Mariallas. Mr. Secretary, just say what's off-limits and what's negotiable. 22 districts is way too many. The Greens started with 30... If they started off with 200, would we give them 100? I'll give up the 7th District in Essonne... But only a Socialist can win there. You'll end up reducing your majority. And Rickwaert's district? You'd give it to the Greens? They're asking for it. To draw up their list, they tagged districts where they scored high in local elections. Rickwaert's district is downtown, upper-middle class. I understand your anger, but it can't dictate your choices. What you're doing is wrong. -I didn't write the list. -You asked for one. Yesterday, he was your heir. Now, he can't even have his district. You and Philippe should talk. This isn't healthy. This isn't about Rickwaert. You all fought at my side, so that Laugier could become President. And as you know, he's excluded me from his government. He's the President. He was elected. Naming Mirmont Prime Minister is his prerogative. Trusting technocrats like Borde and Dorendeu is his prerogative. Setting up a government of robots in grey suits is his prerogative. He can also exclude the Green Party and Communists. However... he can't remove me from Parliament. He doesn't have the right or the power. The Party will compensate the Greens by giving them Socialist districts. I don't yet know which constituencies are involved. But if our 13th North district goes to the Green Party, I know what I'll do. I won't back out. I'll run anyway, as a eakaway candidate! There will be consequences. I will be excluded from the Party. Those who back me will suffer the same fate. We're behind you! I know that the Party means a lot to many of you. Josette, when did you join? In 1944... But it's just a membership. What matters is what's in your heart. And in your pants! You're better endowed than he is! What is my purpose here? We all know these situations are tedious. To say what's negotiable and what's off-limits. Giving the Greens the 13th North is off-limits. Rickwaert's our candidate, and he'll remain an MP. Fine, whatever you say. Let's move on. Next? -How are you, Alain? -Good. And you're not on the list of sacrificial lambs. Was I taken off? Don't be paranoid. Francis just stopped by and told to us to sort it out. Who else was there? Dorendeu? Yes, Amelie was there. She's the one riling him up. What's your problem with her? I don't have a problem. But we live in two different worlds. She's an heiress, a technocrat robot with no ideals. I can only imagine what would happen if I'd given you some bad news. Would anyone care if she went back to sucking cock in Brussels? -Dad! -Sorry, I have to go. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. -Do you have the Party's backing? -Yes. I forgive you. I'll make spaghetti to cele ate. -Have you eaten? -No. I'm coming. That smells great! Salome... You're not here to be my maid. Nice feminist act... Sucking cock in Brussels... Work group 3.00 Plenary session Salome Rickwaert's birthday -Mr. President. -Hello. So? Tomorrow the Party validates the list of districts. I think we can get an alternate list adopted, including the 13th North. -You think? -I'm sure. By 6 votes. But I'm not sure it's the right move. I know him. I know what he's capable of. Maybe, but you're the face of national unity. You show another face if you force the issue. No hidden snipers. For now, the elections will protect me. But what if something goes wrong later? I've crunched some numbers. He can win as a eakaway candidate. He'd be excluded, but you know the Socialists. They'll take him back later on. On the other hand, it's a rocky road, but he could lose. -He can? -Even as the Party's candidate. It depends on the absentee rate. Since Auzanet, 50 of the western part has been integrated into his district. There's our leverage. It's an estimate, but the Green Party could win. The problem... is their candidate... Quentin Melvaud. He's very hairy. Rickwaert will knock out legalizing marijuana in one round! Call the Green Party. Make them get rid of this clown. We need them to give us their best shot. -Fine. -Thank you Amelie. -Have a good day. -You too, Mr. President. Look over there. There we go! The guys did good work. -Look who's there. -Oh no! Pull over. It's the pole-vaulter! Hi there. That's you! Yes, I'm Christian Bichet, Green Party. Great! Is this recycled paper? Obviously. Come on guys, let's go. -Have a good day. -You too. Don't forget... the vote's in 3 weeks! Good luck! Get going! It's just like old times... Cover the second one too. Pole-vaulting sure opens doors. I'll follow them all day long. This is our home. They better leave, or else... Stop it, Toph. No violence, OK? We're still the official candidate. Just cover their posters. Today, the only question is how to move away from productivism. Interesting... I think today's only question is who's going to shove his pole up his ass? So, where am I going next? We're leafletting in a half-hour, with the Clamex guys. The Clamex guys have a union meeting. -I got an SMS from Dumont. -He promised they'd be there. I know you think I'm paranoid... Why didn't they call me? Or you? He's avoiding me. Be gentle. Why didn't he call me? You're done helping me, Gilles? How did you know about Joel and the money? -Is there a problem? -Why would there be? There was no Housing Board money. No one got a penny. Union workers who take money usually keep quiet. Especially when it's from the Housing Board. My guys don't lie to me. Unlike you. Don't talk me about Patrick and Dede. They carry your card. They confirmed your crazy story... I'm sorry, I lied. I should have told you before the funeral. You might even have agreed. I just couldn't tell the truth in front of Joel's parents. Joel gambled. Joel? A gambler? Blackjack. He told me he had a knack for the game. Concentration, calculations... The truth is he had a serious addiction. Joel was a gambler. You expect me to believe you? -Who do you think I am? -A union delegate. Doesn't a union delegate defend his employees? So my crazy story, as you call it, helped save the factory. That's how I got Laugier to come here. I need you, Dumont. Clamex's fight isn't over. I have to be a heavy-hitter, after a good election, with a strong score that people will remember. You need me. I need you. So let's stop arguing, OK? We are joining forces... They merged with the Regionalists and the minority candidate. They'll all gang up against me. Berthier too. Joining forces. The Communists with the Greens? 4 days before the 1st round, I doubt it. Go to the printer's on the outskirts of town. The Stalinists print their leaflets there. Say Berthier sent you to check the mock-ups. It'll be quiet late in the day. You'll do fine. It's OK, they've seen worse. -Relax, the gulags are closed. -Sure. If Berthier and the pole-vaulter merge, they have to announce it by tomorrow. They need time to print. It's now or never. I'm not sure about Berthier and the pole-vaulter. -And a leaflet... -Cyril! Only the Communists care about leaflets. They have respect for their leader. What if I get caught? Maybe Toph could... Everyone knows him! He can't be seen. What's your problem? Too dirty for you? Fine for him but not for you? What does joining forces mean? That the Left is against us? Exactly. They're all joining forces to beat us. The Regionalists weigh 3.5. Plus the diversity party, that equals 6. -Add that to the pole-vaulter... -Asshole! Stop saying asshole all the time. That works against us. The boss even said it. Pole-vault up his ass! He was joking. It wasn't a slur. I'll keep gluing posters. 14 plus 6 equals 20... And Berthier's Communists, with 9 or 10, makes 30. And us? 27, according to the last count. Under 30. I'm right. The 1st round is the problem. If we lose to the pole-vaulter, there is no 2nd round. The majority Left party gets all the Left votes. If the Greens get 30 and we get 27, Philippe must refer his voters in the 2nd round. -That's unfair! -No, it's good. It means the Left stays united. He will stand down. That's how it is. If the pole-vaulter takes the 1st round, the entire Left votes for him. Not me. You do, if he's facing the National Front. -Go straight. -Hey, Toph! Better the pole-vaulter than the National Front! Don't worry, we'll win. I know that. We'll nail those assholes! Hello. -Is Mr. Pacaud here? -Over there. Are you Mr. Pacaud? I am. What can I do for you? Hello. Michel Berthier sent me to see if the leaflet's ready. Who are you? Marc. Marc Madiot. Like the cyclist? Our computers oke down. Everyone's panicking. That's why I'm here. THE ALTERNATIVE LEFT IS UNITED -Are you calling him? -Of course. Berthier, there's a guy here who wants... -Shit! -Stop him, guys! Come back here! Toph! Come here! Get over here! It's pre-salted. You'll love it. -Honey, I'm on my way. -It cooks for 7 hours. Bruno and the boys will be late. Don't worry. -What about the cake? -It's sorted. -Candles? -I got some. OK, bye. -My leaflets are on the floor. -They're just leaflets... No one reads them. People know who they'll vote for. You already know? A vote is confidential, Mr. Rickwaert. I'm kidding. Of course I'll vote for you. -Everyone will. -You have a crystal ball? Voters come through here all day long. Except halal eaters. -What do you mean? -What? The halal eaters? I don't sell halal products, that's all. Hello Mr. Rickwaert. -Ma'am, how are you? -Fine, thank you. Good day. -Hi, Cyril. -You were right. Communists and Greens together. -Meet us by the idge. -I'm on my way. -Are there a lot? -Quite a few. -How many pallets? -One, I think. How many packs to a pallet? I have no idea... You saw them. Concentrate and you'll remember. I'd say... Stacked 10 packs high, in 3 rows, plus the extra pile... 50, maybe 60. 60 times 250 equals 15,000. Not enough to cover the district. They'll focus on the Communist vote. Well done. Mention the date and station. Make sure you pet the dog, even if you're scared. Stay polite, even if they're rude to you. Hello, Philippe. Berthier's standing down. He's attending the Green meeting and leafletting the city. Damn Communist! You have to pick up all his leaflets. It's the only way. We'll take care of Sainte-Croix and Bois-Clairs first. -That's 7,000 mailboxes! -Then we better hurry. I can't pass you to Cyril. I have to find Berthier now. But he'll call for a pick-up. They did great! He'll tell you. Right, guys? See you later. Shit, there's Berthier! Hi, Bernard. Did you speak to Berthier? -He disappeared. -He's right in front of me. I'm on him. Keep you posted. -Salome... -Hi, Dad. -I won't make it. -What? I have a situation... -I'll make it up to you. -Everyone's here, waiting for you. -I'll hurry. -Philippe? -Bernard. -Berthier's at the truck stop. -I'm coming. I'll be in the parking lot. Hi there. You know each other? Did you have a meeting in the area? Because Michel has one, right? Can I come? It's a public meeting, right? -We should get going, in fact. -Enough. I've worked hard on my speech. I plan to focus on Communist party leaders who preach pure leftist ideals, only to sell out for a bowl of lentils. Pretty good, right? Simple and direct. What did she promise you? That's enough! Is this the Mafia? Stalking, bullying... Who do you think you are? Don Corleone? We're having a conversation. You know what she stands for? Everything you hate. She's an upper class liberal, a Brussels technocrat. Your buddies will be thrilled to learn you take orders from her. Leave us alone... please! Thanks. Berthier... Join them and I'll humiliate you. Understand? Oh, I forgot... I hope she paid for the leaflets. You know me... There won't be a single one left! It's impossible. We can't continue. What difference does it make? Michel, if you stand down, you'll be rid of him forever. I can't. Think about it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime offer. You'd become Vice-President of the Economic and Social Council. You'd have media exposure, career opportunities... You'd be treated well, for what it's worth. I really can't. It looks easy from Paris, but here... And your promises... I don't even know you. What are you doing? Will the President's word satisfy you? You know I thought, when I saw you and Berthier? -I couldn't care less. -Wait, you like history. I'll be quick. 1932... Does that ring a bell? This is an enlightening story. In Germany, the Communists and Social Democrats were too busy splitting the left to worry about the rise of Nazism. Hitler in power? Impossible! Fighting each other was more important. You know how far they took this? One night in 1932, Communist and Nazi militants oke up a Socialist meeting together. Hand in hand! -Are you done? -Amelie... We can hate each other, but how far do we take it? You realize what you're doing? Did you, when you spoke at the funeral? -It's a miracle Auzanet lost. -Really? You get fascists elected. Is there a difference? You're not the only alternative to the National Front. Hang on there... The Front will crush the pole-vaulter. And you know it! But that doesn't matter to you. Laugier just wants to eliminate me. You two hypocrites are blinded by hate. I did you a favor by finding the leaflet in time. Or you'd wonder about 1932 for a while. It would haunt you, like an obsession. 1932! Dear Goddaughter, I remember our lovely conversation, and thought you would like this. Love, Francis What's in the box? It's a silly present. I'll find something else. -That's OK. -But that book is great. He knew I'd never give you the same thing. -A book on art? -Oh, Dad... But that's good. I'm glad that he remembered. At least he keeps things separate, like politics and his goddaughter. A class act. It's harder for you, isn't it? What did he give you last year? A lunch that never happened. When we get along, he forgets your birthday. And when we don't... Brilliant. You think he uses me to get at you? That's not what I said. It isn't? -Sleep well. -Good night. Good night. Voters in Guiana have begun to make their way to the polls... Good morning. -How was the meeting? -Depressing. Berthier didn't go. The pole-vaulter discussed baby seals. It was over in an half-hour. You look nice in that... This dress. Number 378. -Ga ielle Dela e. -Voted. Excuse me, there are no Communist party ballots. I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do. Mrs. Bosso? Call me back. We have a big problem. Will it come true? Your superstition? About making love on election day? Does it bother you? I don't want to lose the election. Take it all off. Sorry. What? There are no Communist ballots. What do you mean no Communist ballots? No one can vote Communist. A printing problem, they say. Berthier, that son of a bitch! He sold his ass to Dorendeu. Without an official position, it'll be hard for Communists to vote Green. It has to be impossible. Send our guys to the Commie polling stations. Not the young ones. The older militants are better for the Communists. Josette knows what to do. Ask her. The argument is pretty basic: Either you vote for Rickwaert, a familiar face, a good Socialist. He fights for the factories. Or you vote for the out-of-town pole-vaulter, who wants organic shops, not factories. Do you care about organic shops? Hold on. -Hi, Cyril. -Philippe? The Clamex guys are at polling station 7. So what? That's good. They're with the Commies, working for the pole-vaulter. That bastard Dumont's trying to screw me. I'll call you. -Leave before this gets ugly. -What are you doing? What did you tell Joel the night before? We know you saw him. You were seen picking him up. What did you do to that kid, dammit? You're a scumbag, Rickwaert. You're crazy. You're finished. The guys have been out since 8 AM. They've hit every nursing home, shelter and café. Now the polling stations. You're through. Clamex has gotten guarantees from the government, without you. -Get out! -Stop... I said, go! As of noon, voter turnout was at 23, up 2 from the last elections. But this figure should be treated with caution. In districts where the 3 main parties are battling it out, each hopes to benefit from this exceptional turnout. But answers can only be provided through in-depth analysis... Cyril, Toph! You two go to the store. bats, crow bars... Get some hoods too, to cover your faces. Hide near station 12. If the score's bad, smash the ballot boxes. -12? -It's our best station. -For real? -They'll blame the Front. The election will be annulled. Understood? We have to react. What's going on? The stations are full of people. Cover your face. It'll take 15 seconds. If we're caught... No one will react. Just one blow to a box. Do you hear what you're saying? -You can't be serious. -What? Skip the morality lesson. Is the election moral? The State's against me. They can't push us around. Fascists are counting the votes. So we smash the boxes? Who's the fascist now? -I agree. -That we get screwed? -That Toph and I don't go to jail. -I'll do it. -Don't... -What? Forget what I said. It was a mistake. -Alain? -How's it going? You tell me, moron. I'm calling about the TV shows. Will you do France 2 at 10 PM? You must be kidding. What's wrong? I've always fought for you. By rallying the entire Left against me, you bastard? You kiss Laugier's ass, while I work like a dog to block the National Front. -I don't understand. -Shut up... Don't use that tone with me! I've been backing you for years... Polling stations close in 2 hours. I don't know... I always keep my word, you know that. Then you disappear and no one returns my call. I've learned my lesson. But we're still friends, OK? -We're friends. -I'll handle your file personally. It'll be a big file. I figured. I want to be the first to know you're re-elected. I promise. Thanks. Number 183. Sign here, please. Teracque, Philippe... The envelope goes in the box. I need ID. -What? -Your ID? My ID... -Here you go. -Thank you. -I've voted here for 20 years. -Sir... I'm on that list. Look at it. I just need your ID and your voters' registration. Where's your ID? -Bernard Meunier, under M. -Please, sir. You're making a scene. Every voter must present his ID. This is the B team, I guess... Where is last year's team? Please give me your papers. -You want to vote? -Let's go. -You, Fatty... -Don't be rude, sir. It's not rude. You're fat. Just say voted'. Wait... You don't understand. We just need your ID. Everyone's annoyed. Stop pushing me! -I didn't touch you. -So I'm lying? -Is that it? -I didn't... -You calling me a Polack? -Not at all. -You bastard! -Calm down, you two. Stop it! That's enough! Stop it! Police! Break it up! Hands behind your back. He ran that way. -What's the overall score now? -28.69... 28.69. Where is Station 2? -Station 2! -This way. -Severine? -I'm on it. It's not over yet. We're missing Stations 7 and 12. We're still ahead. Everyone stay focused! Hello, Officer. Hi, Veronique. Everything OK? We're just waiting for 7 and 12 to come in. There was an incident at Station 12. The register was torn up. Did you hear me? Yes, I did. Is the Mayor with you? Can you let him know? Of course I will. Were there arrests? There were. Thank you, Captain. Nothing yet for Station 7? I need the 7. Yes... You don't have it yet? OK, thank you. -We still don't have Station 7. -Lille is good. Where are we in Marseille? Station 7. -Severine? -Bring it over. Give me the total. Cyril! We don't have Station 12! Only 400 people vote there. It won't change the score! We won! You can say it. Say what? Up his ass with the pole! Up his ass with the pole! Amelie? I'll be right back. -What's the update? -The situation is very positive. We should have an absolute majority, with the Socialists alone. -Including Rickwaert? -Excuse me? What's the update on Dunkerque? He's leading. There were incidents. Can the vote be annulled? There's no legal basis. There's no reason if the final result isn't impacted. Rickwaert would win, even without Station 12's votes. Damn! The Front's leading the Conservatives. It's a blessing in disguise. What is? The Front could have beaten the pole-vaulter. A couple of additional Front MPs wouldn't interfere with my term. Rickwaert will. That's all. Thank you.

Where to now? -Go on. Get in. -Can't we squeeze together? You just want to squeeze my cousin. -No I don't. -You don't like her? -I do, but... -Just get in. Come on. There you go. 5 days of Hacking / Camping / Lectures Join May Contain MCH2022.org Hey, guys! An absolute majority for the Socialist party... There's still too much red here. 323 Socialist MPs. Better than 1981. Were you even born then? I got my whole class to vote Mitterrand. Mr. Treasury Director, you may have noticed that France has elected a new government. If you hadn't noticed, I'm just letting you know. That's right. Our Finance minister will back the Italian proposal at the European Council. Excuse me. -Alain, you ok? -I'm fine. I'll be right back. His ears ring, ever since the accident. The noise never stops. It's awful. Let's help him out. Wait, Alain. We're coming. Arthur! Shit! We're here! -The keys! -Get the keys! Arthur, we're here! Hurry up! I can't find them. I can't find the damn keys! They're not here! Force it open. Come on! Arthur, dammit, kick it! The arts center is a big project. 6 months of construction. I thought you could handle the security. Guards, watchdogs... What do you think? You know how long it's been since I was in custody, -Mr. Mayor? -What do you want? -I want you to kiss my ass. -Gerard... That's the least you can do. Kiss my ass, real good. There will be asbestos removal, with an obligatory call for bids. You'd need a partner company as a guarantee. -As long as it's free. -Nothing comes for free! I know, but it's always the same ones who pay. -We'll find a solution. -OK, but... When? That's what I want to know. One week, at the most. You'll be fine. How do you feel? Are you warming up? Why was he in the trunk? He could have died. The water wasn't too high. -Don't pull that crap on me. -Listen... -You, shut up! -It's my fault. -She didn't know about the trunk. -Did you or didn't you? -I didn't. I was sleeping. -She was. You got your story straight. She didn't know. This bunch of jerks dragged her into it. You'll be paying for the car. They locked the kid in the trunk, like a dog. Who gives a damn about your car? You're such an idiot. Cyril, I got your message. But I can't talk. Chistera is resigning as party leader. Health reasons. Damn, I thought he was getting better. And guess what? Laugier's already looking for his replacement. Philippe? I'll catch the 10:16 train. I'll call you. You have to run for party leader. No, it's too soon. I don't have a chance. Laugier's in a state of grace. Whoever he names will be cheered. Gotta go. You'll leave the password, right? For the Wi-Fi. -You don't need it. Or the TV. -I'm not a child. -Your work will keep you busy. -What work? Cleaning up my list of supporters. 6000 names. It's vacation! I didn't come to... Did you know about the guy in the trunk? I'll say what you want. Even if it's not true. -What's not true? -That I knew about Arthur. -Salome, don't lie. I hate lies. -I'm not lying. Call Cyril. He'll explain about the list. There are 4 candidates for Secretary General. Chambolle and Barthelemy. Plisson and Irvane. -And Bardon? -My Interior minister? She's young... She's my Interior minister. Don't strip my government. -I prefer Barthelemy. -He's 68... Mr. Kalhenberg! Daniel, how are you? Great, thanks. Congratulations on your 54. Great score! I've had the same office for 15 years. -I'll talk to the clerk. -No, I'll do it. -Where is that con artist? -At your desk. -No way! -He is. 100 years ago, that would be grounds for a duel. -This is my 3rd term in this office. -Who cares about your office? You don't return calls. Your schedule is worse than Obama's. How else do I get to see you? I have a great story for you. -About what? -You and I screwing Laugier over. Kalhenberg? What about him? He'll want to run. First Secretary. Tell me how I win? Who said anything about a vote? Listen to me. You'll be the sole candidate. Why would Laugier let his rival run the party? -You're not his rival anymore. -What? Now you're pro-Laugier. Very pro-Laugier, in fact. Everyone will pretend to believe you, including Francis. Your only goal is the government's success. That's why you're offering your services to the Party during this transition period. A transition? Let me guess. After the transition, you become First Secretary? You want me to give you the Party. So you can run the country. And I don't mean, in 10 or 15 years. In just 5 years. Here's what I'm going to do: nothing at all. I'm not pro-Laugier. I don't measure myself against him. I'm Daniel Kalhenberg. End of story. I won't refuse the Finance ministry to run the Party. I've never hidden my strategy. I'm the solution. You want to be president? The primaries are the only way. The primaries. Kalhenberg doesn't care about running the Party. He wants to be here. With a Socialist incumbent, there are no primaries. The Party can decide otherwise. With his Northern votes, Rickwaert may give it a shot. He has the votes and the ideas. He set his sights on the Party 10 years ago. He should have been taken out then. Removed from Parliament. Amelie, you fought hard. Now, it's a question of time. The first candidate to come forth will win. The people want new faces. The runner up will divide the Party. So let's stick to the schedule and hold elections at the National Council. -That's in 4 days. -I'll go see the 5 contenders right now. I have to think. That's exactly why I chose Francis over you, 15 years ago. And yet, you and I have much more in common. But you don't work hard enough. You think too much about yourself. The solution, above the fray. Lazy people's phrases. There's no air above the fray. You'll die on your own little cloud, above the fray. I'll do RTL radio at 7.45 AM. Good enough? Happy now? Call her. It's ringing. -Hi Cyril. -It's Philippe. Feeling better? Absolutely not. You can't imagine how sick I am. I'm stuck in bed. -I'm extending my sick leave. -Enough, Vero. I can't run City Hall without you. -I can't do it alone. -You don't need me. You don't need anyone. On Election Day, you did it all yourself. I had no choice! It's easy to have regrets, now that we won. If the pole-vaulter was in the lead, you'd have been glad -I had a plan B. -Damn him! Is this the stuff? You have invoices? I don't have any invoices, no. No invoices, no ID, no paperwork to prove where I got it. I don't know. I just don't know. That's her! That's the woman! With the Mayor, in the poster. She sold the stuff to me. -Calm down. -I won't calm down. I won't be wrongly accused. Are you nuts? She sold me the stuff, and I'm the one accused. -Veronique Bosso? -The woman in the poster. -Hello? -Please hold for the President. Amelie, I need you to come here, now. I'm on my way, Mr. President. You need to tweet. Announce you're running. Propose a collective transition leadership. You want a tweet at 2 AM? I'm not a bum. I'll be on RTL in 5 hours. Francis knows we're playing against time. Did Chambolle tweet? No. Get real for a minute. I know how he thinks. So does he. He knows me by heart. If you want to work together, think less about Laugier, and more about me. See you later. Get some sleep. Shit! What's going on? -Whisky? -No, thank you. You have to become Party leader. What? There's no way. I don't have the qualifications. And it's not a job I want or like. People like what they're good at. And you're good. I want to work with you more than anything, and for France, but in my current job. When I joined the Party, the average age was 20. Younger than today. It was so incredibly lively. Full of ideas and energy. That was my generation. But they've gotten old and tired. Maybe success went to their heads. Now they focus on administration, not activism. Rickwaert was supposed to rejuvenate the Party and get rid of some people. -Why tell me this? -Because now it's up to you. Now I'm really lost. I'm nothing like Rickwaert. Amelie, your president is saying he needs you. I wasn't even elected. How can I run the Party? The partial senatorial vote is in 3 months. You'll represent the Val de Marne department. You know my family and my background. You don't have to be poor to defend the poor. -You decide everything? -A lot of things. I'm President of the French Republic. That's a fact. I wish I could tell you to go home and think it over. But I can't. Kalhenberg is on RTL tomorrow morning. You'll do France Inter. They already know. If the National Council elects me to run the Socialist party, I'll make sure the militants' voice is heard. Our debates will be transparent. I'll defend the clarity of our ideas, the relevance of our project, and the openness of our practices. Enough talk of change. It's time to act! We need a Party that supports our government's choices. What a bitch! But the Party must also make suggestions, act as a guide, and alert the executive anch... Yes, Officer? OK. Hi, she's in there. -Mrs. Bosso? -Yes? On May 2nd, you helped Mr. Rickwaert find money. So the Financial Brigade wouldn't find the hole in the Housing Board's account. You sold electronic equipment to Eddy Deloir, which he confirmed by identifying you in several photos. You also withdrew 900 euros with your husband's bank card. I don't understand what you're talking about. First of all, who are you? I work for the Interior minister. You came from Paris for me? Rickwaert was tipped off about the search. We think we've identified his snitch. Sylvain Busine. His mother's from here. That's how Rickwaert knows him. Let me get this straight. What did this Busine guy do for Philippe? You know what the Financial Brigade does? They investigate rogue bosses, bankruptcy frauds, bank swindles, shady real-estate promoters. The victims are always the same. Workers and retirees with small savings. I'd love to help you. -Confirm Busine is the snitch. -The snitch for what? THE 15TH DISTRICT ON THE MOVE -Yes, Philippe? -You have the Party's statutes? -Not right this second. -Yes or no? I think I have a PDF. When Dorendeu went to Strasbourg to join the EC, she was moved to the Brussels section. -Probably, yes. -She told me so herself. And she left the Commission, after the European elections. -Wait... You have the statutes? -Hang on. Look up First Secretary. Thanks. OK, I have it. The First Secretary oversees the Party's functioning... What about seniority requirements? Three consecutive years of Party membership are mandatory for National Council membership. -Consecutive is what matters. -She doesn't fit that? After Brussels, she went to Paris. According to this photo, that was October. Double-check. If she doesn't have the 3 years, it'll be top secret. We'll have to check ourselves, without anyone knowing. Good luck! What did this elegant man from Paris accuse you of? Withdrawing cash with your husband's card, at night? -Not just any night. -Yes, any night. -They're sure I was with you. -Me? I was at home, in bed. I need lots of sleep. They don't know anything. They're just fishing. There's Eddy's testimony. I'll get it stuffed in the bottom of a drawer. Laugier is forced to protect me. You too. Come on. A minister's adviser playing cop in Dunkirk? Laugier's pretending to sniff around. Don't worry so much. -Come back to work. -Laugier doesn't control everything. The cops have a lousy attitude. If one wants to be a hero... Are you supposed to call the guy back? -Tonight. -So give him Busine. What if he gives you up? Doubtful. He's about to adopt. OK. How are you, anyway? Richard must be happy to have you at home. -I can be a pain. -So come back to work! I screwed up, I agree. I really screwed up with Balleroy. You were right. Is this a punishment? Balleroy is my punishment. I can feel it. You deserve it. -I get hit by a bus and you're happy? -Thrilled. I love it. We're preparing for the National Council. It's going to be bloody. They found a great angle. Tell me. What's the idea? Dorendeu for First Secretary. Over my dead body. -Can I help? -I thought you were on sick leave? Stop it. We have to search the Party's main database. We need someone who has access. I'll sort it out. It's a 20-minute drive from the club to the beach. The idea was to play a joke on Arthur by putting him in the trunk. But Bruce was having fun and forgot about the joke. Didn't Arthur make any noise? Being thrown around like that? -There was music on. -So he screamed, but you didn't hear. No, he was sleeping. Thank goodness. I know Arthur Leboeuf. He's a nice kid, right? Kind of ugly, a little slow... How nice of you to include him, even in the trunk! You know what that is? Barbarianism. -It's always politics with you. -Of course it is. Barbarianism is politics. It's a world view. The crude violence of Darwinism. You studied Darwin, didn't you? -Yes. -When you were little, I told you how kids behave in the playground. You obviously didn't get it. So I'll try again. Humiliating the weak, that's something specific. Beating up the runts. People get off on that. -Dad! -They feel powerful. They feel good. For the last time... Stop! Busine, you're being transferred. Why? I like it here. -You're going to Marseille. -Wait... Pack up. I want you gone in an hour! On issues like peaceful coexistence, or education, we want to leave our mark and to initiate significant change. I'm saying clearly, here and now, yes, we want to change the country! You can't separate societal reform and social change. What about the database? Benjamin's feeding me some crap about updated access codes. Someone got to him. What about Schaffler? He must have access. He's a federation treasurer. Forget him. He'd kill for Laugier. -Oh no! -Isn't that Elodie? She's his assistant. -You know her? -Yeah. Drop it. Why? She has her boss' access codes. -She's an ex. It's complicated. -That's perfect! While you screw her to get the codes, we drag out the debate. -You're crazy. -She's not so bad. -You'll screw her. -No, I won't. Take her out and do your thing. We'll get rid of Dorendeu. -Take the receipt for expenses. -Great. I hate you both! We're walking in now. OK. -I signed in for you. -Thanks. Philippe, I signed you up to speak last. But they're trying to block you. You won't have much time. Find people who want to intervene. They've closed the list. I'll find old-timers they can't turn away. Otherwise, it'll be over fast and we'll be screwed. Let's go. Hi, Philippe. I'll find you later. Hi, kids. You're our future, the next generation. Welcome! Good luck. -Did you sign up? -I did. Good for you. -Hi, Philippe. -All good? Hey, Jean-Pierre... -How are you? -Hi, Philippe. Are you paying tribute to Chistera? Loads of people have signed up. We want to hear you. Chistera would be happy. I like her. I think she's great. She's competent... How's Strasbourg? Strasbourg's OK. But the local elections in Drulingen... The leaflets had to be in German. What a pain! Things like gegen der Kapitalismus. -I don't envy you. -No kidding. My reward was a seat on the National Council. We should probably get going. -Sure. -Or... We could have a last drink, for Dutch courage. OK! Miss? Two Nikkas, please. You OK? You seem a little anxious. -A little. -Why? Don't worry, you can tell me. Even if you weren't very nice to me. I know, I was an ass... -I wasn't ready. -It was a long time ago. So? I'm all ears. OK. -You know Marc Pisani? -From the Nouvel Observateur? He's an old friend from school. He called me earlier. You won't believe this story. Thank you. It's secret. I haven't even told Philippe. Go on. -You sure? -Yes. Dorendeu doesn't fill the criteria to be candidate. -What? -3 consecutive years in the Party. -Shit! -And no one's noticed. -Your journalist is positive? -No. No. That's why he called me. I fell off my chair. But I can't verify his info. I don't have access to the database. I do. Not here. But I can call someone in Colmar. I can ask her to use my codes. She's done it before. You'd do that? OK, let's do it. Great! Unity was his rock, his talisman, his signature. Where is our unity? Alain Chistera knew, like Blum and Jaures, that without unity, the Socialists could experience only defeat -and powerlessness! -Bravo! -He's good. -Really good. He has my vote. Alain, my friend. My dear friend. Please win this new battle, and come back to us soon! We need you! Rickwaert's adding to the list. He's the last speaker. Rickwaert's the last one? He'll give us a Chavez speech that'll clear the room. I say we vote now. We can't. People are scheduled to speak. That's how the Party works. In the past. Things can change. Not all things. I'll be instated at 4 AM in front of 3 stragglers. Think of tomorrow's front pages. A picture of me, exhausted with no makeup left. -I want to vote now. -That's not how it's done. Not how it's done... But it's OK for him to humiliate me? The Socialist party has statutes. You can't stop people from speaking. You'll get used to it. Let's vote. Z-Z-45-E-D-J -D, not B. -Got it. OK, I'll wait. She's looking. She doesn't have 3 years. -Sure? -Positive. She doesn't have them. Email me the info and don't tell anyone. Shall we? It's time to vote! Come on. We're voting. You've reached Cyril Balsan. Please leave me a message... She's 3 months short. My dear comrades, I'd like you to take a seat. We will proceed to vote. Let me remind you of the procedure. You raise your badge to vote. Please take a seat. The session is adjourned! Absolutely not! We'll adjourn after the vote. No, before. By law, you can't refuse. This is unheard of! Who do you think you are? We need to talk. You're going to hassle me over 3 missing months? Show some respect for our statutes. If you get elected, I'll file an appeal tomorrow. Bye-bye election. It's automatically annulled. Laugier was careless. -You're ecstatic. -Actually, I'm not. What are you doing? The media, the opposition... You're crazy! If I were, I'd have told everyone. If you step down, the problem's gone. Tell Kalhenberg you agree to collective leadership. Go fuck yourself. Appealing over a detail! They'll all hate you. -Maybe. -You won't go through with it. You don't know that. Listen... Don't worry about what I'll do. Worry about yourself. What's your dream life? Want to run a party? Spend your time managing apparatchiks, bureaucrats, crooks and clowns? Just to please the big cheese? You're too beautiful and smart for that. Damn you! I've thought it over. I should give the job to Chambolle. -You say you've thought it over. What does that mean to you? Giving up? Backing down? Shirking responsibility? This is counter-productive. You think this is only about you? You represent me. If you give up, they'll say I backed down in front of Rickwaert. Nothing's worse than a president who backs down. I'm sorry. Enough, Amelie! Stop this unbearable whining! Get working on your speech. I'll handle Rickwaert. -Thank you. -Understood, Mr. President. -The President won't see you. -Why am I here then? If you appeal the vote, we'll kill Clamex. -You'll cut 2300 jobs? -Yes. We'll make sure European funding gets cut in half. The recovery plan will go down the drain. You know who those guys are? Minimum wagers, guys in their fifties. Hard hires. The poor are everywhere. Not just Dunkirk. We'll allocate the financial aid elsewhere. The President will look just as good. And the best part? It's all the EU's fault. Bull's eye! Except for the local MP, of course, who didn't do enough to defend Clamex. By the way, we've rescheduled Amelie's swearing-in. Your presence is mandatory tomorrow night. After a night like tonight, the Party needs a nice family portrait. That's all. Is something wrong? You were right. I knew about Arthur. I'm so ashamed, Dad. Forgive me. No need to dwell on it, honey. Hungry? Want a croissant? Yeah. What a great atmosphere. Dorendeu's a half-hour late on stage. -Daniel! -Philippe. My daughter, Salome. -Lovely name. It suits you, young lady. -Thanks. -Is there a problem? -She has stage fright. She thinks she'll be booed. I don't care. I've been called on stage for the group photo. This isn't my problem. Laugier chose her. He can sort it out. Philippe, what do you want? -Dammit, open the door! -It's OK. Feeling any better? Not really. I need to know Kalhenberg's with me. I saw him. Don't worry about that. Let's have a chat. About what? Your stupid appeal? I just said it to rile you up. I'm not crazy. -See what it feels like? -What? When Francis hits you. It hurts. Here's what we'll do. We'll go for a smoke. Vero. Listen to me. Work the room. Get everyone excited. What? What are you talking about? Laugier slammed her. The barons despise her. She can't win. Someday, she'll need me. Kalhenberg's with me? You'll go it alone. I can't. Yes, you can. Write your story. I have nothing to write. You're supposed to be in my shoes. It's hard in the beginning. When you walk up to the pulpit, blinded by the lights. You can't see a thing. Not even your notes. But you don't care. You don't need your notes. You need to pick out a face in the crowd. Aim for the 10th row. Stare at that face. Don't turn away. That's who you're talking to. Forget the cameras. Forget your notes. Do that for a minute, while they're still shouting. One minute. The time it takes to adjust to the spotlights. Now, you can look at your notes. Pick them up. Don't backtrack. Don't ever apologize. You're above them all. You'll blow them away. You're the boss. With your mean little face. Your non-negotiable face. I like that face. I like your face, I really do. But I don't like you. You're nervous, right? You'll be fantastic. -I know why you're helping me. -You do? You want the Party to go up in flames. You hope it'll be a nightmare for me and Laugier, and a dream for you. Prove me wrong. Amelie! My dear comrades, what an adventure! What a story! Such an honor! You've placed your trust in me... Holly Diener TITRA FILM Paris 5 days of Hacking / Camping / Lectures Join May Contain MCH2022.org
This morning's guest is Jean-Marc Auzanet, who will comment on the education bill presented by President Laugier at yesterday's press conference as the first major project of his 5-year term. Reinstating education certificates, continuous assessment, 4-year high school programs which include a year a oad, a centralized educational support service... Mr. Auzanet, how do you feel about these major changes? I'll be very clear. I firmly believe we are headed for bankruptcy. It's unavoidable. Francis Laugier will bankrupt the country. A 40 billion euro increase to the State's education budget is simply irresponsible. Do you realize what he's doing? 40 billion! We are at risk... -Yes, Amelie? -I have a press release to dictate. I'm ready. Mr. Auzanet has indulged in some creative calculations concerning the Government's new education bill, failing to provide accurate figures or logical argumentation. The recently defeated ex-President dares to double the cost of the education bill. Did you get everything? Send that out. OK. It's impossible. We simply cannot. Maryse, I'll call you back. We're in danger of... I have to go see her. Yes, I'll go see her. I'll go see her. I drove all night, in the rain, thinking of you. You did? But I didn't send you a message last night. A message? A text message, a telegram... Anouk Aimée sends Trintignant a telegram saying she loves him. That's why he shows up. I've always found that film annoying. I bet you prefer Godard. -I'm going to be late. -Late? Me too. Come with me. I have a general assembly at school at 10. He'll be here any second, Mehdi. -What time is it? -Don't worry, he's coming. Voicemail. Laugier doesn't give a damn about vocational studies. What's your scoop? I have to tell you the story. So, I go to see the Uni's Social Sciences secretary. I get there, say hi, ask her how she is... We chat a bit. I butter her up and finally I ask, What's the undergraduate success rate for vocational students? She gives me this guilty look and answers, I don't know. So I insist. You have stats on undergraduate success rates. She says yes, so I keep pressing. And figures on how many attended vocational high schools? She nods. So I say, Then you know the vocational student success rate. Of course. -So what's the number? -Zero. Zero? How is that possible? In Social Sciences at Cergy University, vocational students have a 0 success rate. Hard to believe, isn't it? Vocational students want to attend technical institutes. But these schools prefer general education students. So the vocational students end up in Social Sciences. End result: a zero success rate. Parents and teachers are cheering while the Conservatives rage. It's time to detail the bill, without losing coherence. The 5 main measures must always be mentioned. The bill's strength is its coherence. The media are emphasizing the graduation certificate, the year a oad, and the free driver's license in high school. Speaking of the media, where's the tidal wave we expected? -Martin, you're keeping us in suspense. -Sorry. educationbill is the number one trend this week. 47 of the tweeters are high school students. Only The Hobbit did better, 3 years ago. -Who's The Hobbit? -It's a film. Where are they? Mehdi and Cyril went to a meeting. I came to see you. -You're on the 12.37. -Is there a problem? -How many times have you stood Cyril up? -He's too jumpy. Whenever 2 guys start a protest, he wants me to call for a strike. Their thing won't work. Laugier's popularity is at 53 , 78 from the Left. What can I do? He's not making mistakes. My hands are tied. Untie your hands! A quote from Philippe Rickwaert's Complete Works. Just meet Mehdi. That's all we ask. The education bill is extremely ambitious. -So, that's all we talk about? -Exactly. Education bill, all day long. And the guy you just stood up started strikes in 3 high schools. Where's the logic? The education bill will amplify a student protest. Politics is like sumo wrestling. Use your opponent's strength. Only a student protest can unsettle Laugier, right? How are things with Amelie? She's basking in Laugier's aura. Admit she's a good First Secretary, so far. -That wasn't my question. -So, what is? What's up with you two? I'd like to know. We see each other. I'm just as surprised as you are. Were you with her earlier? The conference is in 10 months. How much longer do you intend to stay above the fray? You're acting like Kalhenberg. Act, or you'll be pushed aside. -You want to protect Amelie... -I didn't say that! That's not the case. I could understand, if it was. But think about it. Are you a house-husband or a politician? Madam Minister can't debate with Auzanet on Thursday. I'll be at Parliament. We're still reviewing amendments. Let's see... How about Amelie? -Her communiqué was excellent. -Great. Auzanet will debate with the First Secretary. That'll remind him that these days, he's just a party leader. See you later. -It's complicated. -What's so complicated about 0 ? They're sending us to the slaughterhouse. Vocational students should have access to higher vocational education, but general students are taking their spots. -Pro movements are complicated. -It's simple. We want quotas. Vocational student quotas in tech institutes. That's still a pro. People rally against something. Against such-and-such law, such-and-such minister... Philippe, education's a hot topic today. -Right. -Maybe... we should take advantage of that. Take a look at him. -What? -His face, his accent, his address. Is he out of his mind? Yesterday's meeting in Argenteuil got violent. -You know about that? -So what? The guys weren't students. You're saying there's no violence in vocational schools? -No, but... -You're not truck drivers or farmers. One oken window and you're through. You understand? Guys looking like you, asking for quotas... Just like the Blacks and Arabs, wanting ethnic quotas for jobs. That's the harsh reality. We should shut up because people are racist? -No... -I'm leaving. -Wait! -Go on! Damn you, Philippe. -Mehdi! -He's crazy! -Calm down. -I'm going. I'm taking the train. -You see how he talked to me? -Come here. You're a smart guy. He's testing you. He's following us. -Calm down. -Hey, Mehdi! -Chill out. -That's enough. -You were rude. -So what? The education bill is a big deal for Laugier. It's the cornerstone of his term. Understand? So be careful and relax. He'll refuse your quotas. You're on the front line. You have to be strong. I barely poked you and you exploded. What about the media? OK, I get it. Smile! Keep calm, stay Zen. Get angry and you'll be seen as a thug. -By everyone. Understand? -Chill out. -OK. -We all know what this debate is about. Ethnic quotas could lead to positive discrimination, to ghettoization, Islam and ultimately to jihad. Jihad? Give me a eak. Jihad has nothing to do with this. You have a police record? -Do you? -Are you serious? That's the spirit! See? Just wondering, did you go train in Syria? No way. The miscreants at the Turkish border didn't want me. -Atta boy! -I didn't have a beard. I didn't look the part. But you have a beard. -I do. -You can go to Syria. I'm old enough for a beard. You've got peach fuzz. You couldn't grow a beard. Peach fuzz! Amelie, we have a problem. What do you mean? I like what we have. I don't want it to end. I'm getting involved in a protest movement that will oppose us. -On what? -Vocational education. I met a great kid, Mehdi Fateni. He's behind 3 school strikes. He's pinpointed the education bill's blind spot. -Does that worry you? -Of course. It shouldn't. It's just politics. It has nothing to do with us. The problem is Francis. I'm left-wing and you're both right-wing. I don't want a daily Party meeting in my kitchen. Of course not. That's not what I mean. Francis is President. He holds all the keys. I don't stand a chance. No use fighting him with my puny bare hands. You made the right political choice. No regrets there. -But romantically speaking... -Yes? I don't know... What's your romantic future with Francis? He's from another generation. He went through a long divorce. He's totally useless when it comes to women. Unlike me, right? I'm for real. That wasn't funny? What's wrong? Listen, Philippe... I'm happy with my life. I like running the Party. I'm at the heart of the machine. I feel useful, necessary. It's everything I like. I won't jeopardize that. I understand. I totally agree. With or without you, I'm still a politician. It needs to stay separate. Politics, on one side, and us, on the other. Two separate paths. What do you say? 0 is a disaster. We're told we can study after high school. We believe that. Our parents are proud of us. The merit system, the social ladder, working harder because we don't hold the keys, we accept all this. But the fact is, we're not even on the list. That's why we want vocational quotas in all tech institutes. The National Front calls it a preference for immigrants. Ethnic quotas. This is France, where thankfully that sort of thing is forbidden. Do you condemn the recent outbursts of violence? Of course I do. In fact, I believe that violence is the enemy of our movement. Is that a call for peace in our high schools? -No. -No call for peace? Students had no part in the incidents. I can assure you the students are pacifists. -We're talking about delinquents. -Even so... Honestly, am I here to discuss the strike... ACTS OF VIOLENCE IN VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS -Look what they wrote! -It wasn't students, in Argenteuil. Who cares, Mehdi? We knew it would be tough. That isn't real. 54 schools on strike, 27 in progress... That's real! That's what matters. Let's discuss vocational teaching. At Cergy, the undergraduate success rate is 0 , for students with a vocational background. Ms. Dorendeu is on in 15 minutes. Reinstating the graduation certificate, continuous assessment, extending high school to four years... Mr. Auzanet, what's your view of this education bill? I believe this project is megalomaniacal and populist. If Mr. Laugier wants to connect with our youth, he can do so without bankrupting us for the next 10 years. That's a clear response. Now, joining us for this debate Amelie Dorendeu, First Secretary of the Socialist Party. Welcome. -Hello, Ms. Dorendeu. -Hello, Mr. Auzanet. Thank you for coming. You just heard Mr. Auzanet voice his opposition to this bill. This is a key measure in Mr. Laugier's presidency. Could you go over the details of this education bill for us? First, I'd like to reply to Mr. Auzanet who hasn't noticed that the Presidential campaign and its tirades are over. The education bill deserves a serious, well-argued debate. -Let's focus on the next 3 meetings. -OK. Only the Greeks and the Italians, want to take education costs out of the debt calculation. Not even the Portuguese. The education bill's success will get them to agree. -Even the Germans? -Even the Germans. Here, watch Amelie. It'll boost your spirits. Actually, Ms. Dorendeu, you've said it all. I'm glad you agree. You won't like what's next. This education bill reflects the very core of Socialist values. Absolutely. You care about your side, not France. You don't govern, you implement an ideology, serving the interests of your electoral base. Mr. Laugier is everyone's President. No, he isn't President of the Republic. He isn't President? Are you questioning the vote? I'm not. Mr. Laugier is President. But he's behaving like a Socialist militant. I'm sorry to say. You were his special advisor. The fact that you run the Party is the indisputable proof. Proof? Is it criminal to stick to your convictions? To honor the promises that got you elected? The French know they elected a Socialist, who will govern for the greater good, for those who have nothing. Those whose hope lies in our public schools. Today, we're putting our ideals to work. Those ideals were forgotten during your interminable presidency. You blindly and obstinately cut the resources allocated to state education. You forgot your promises and abandoned our neediest children. We didn't abandon anyone! Thank you, Mr. Auzanet... I'd like to go back to the 40 billion... -Mr. Auzanet, it's 20 billion. -No it isn't. -You'd say anything... -Thank you! Time for our next guest... Good, right? She was good. Yes? You actually got our dear Laurent to crack a smile! Seriously, congratulations. And thank you. -Take care. -Thank you, Mr. President. This isn't a telegram... Hello Mr. President. Here's the file on Mehdi Fateni. 85 vocational high schools are striking against the bill. Rickwaert will take it to the streets. It gets worse. You've heard Philippe's story. Politics saved him from his terrible childhood, his past, his demons... What psychological bullshit! A total waste of time. The reality is much simpler. We have allies and enemies. All the rest is incidental. We've decided to keep our private and professional lives separate. You really believe that? I know it'll be hard. This worries me. I don't understand you. I promise you I'm capable of... You do realize this is a man who lives for his hatred of me? A man with no limits. This is the proof. I know which side I'm on. Yours. A youth protest is always a threat. Especially when Rickwaert's involved. I said I'm on your side. I'm warning you. Your boyfriend won't like that. Thank you, Amelie. The Stones of the Abbey... Interesting? What did you expect me to do? What kind of photos did Francis show you? Do we look good, at least? You want to argue? I think that's exactly what he wants. I think we should do whatever we want. Once 100 schools are on strike, we call a coordination meeting. To make the movement democratic. The goal is to set a date for the protest. We need time to mobilize people. Then it's up to them. They want to end capitalism? No problem. Visas for illegal immigrants? Sounds good. An end to unemployment? Fine. November 12. Any earlier and we're screwed. If the first protest is a success, those who couldn't be there will want to make up for it. The second one will be huge. We have to nip this in the bud. Our education bill must be protected. There's a student coordination meeting on Sunday. Amelie, I'll need your help. According to my latest information, 100 delegates from across the country will attend the meeting. What's at stake is the date of the protest. We want it to be as soon as possible. How is your relationship with the Young Socialists? -Excellent. -I want them at the meeting. They'll help set the right date. The earlier, the better. October 28 would be perfect. I think it's only open to vocational students. There aren't many among the Young Socialists. Allow me to explain. -Hello. -Loubna Nour. I ahim Hakim, with an H. From Poitiers. You're all set. Sebastien Denneque. Hi. From Paris Montaigne. -Isn't that a general high school? -Yes. Aren't we allowed in? You are, but you can't vote. You'll have observer status. It's a vocational movement. -I understand. -Go ahead. Hello. Noemie Vallier, from Henri IV high school in Paris. OK. Philippe, we have a problem. There are tons of general students. I can see them. Rich kids. Smells like the Young Socialists. They want the protest on October 28. How could she do this to me? Damn it! I told you, they're worried we'll rally support. -They can't vote. -They'll demand to vote on the vote. A vote on the vote? To see who can vote. Hang on. People are forcing their way in. Don't let anyone else in. It's the Young Socialists! What are you doing? Cyril, what's happening? Everybody calm down! Hey, relax! Everybody, settle down! Stop! We're not animals! We're in place. The YS is in place. I'll have a headcount soon, but I think there's enough of them. This is our only chance. There's no option to veto. Only vocational students can vote. One man, one vote! Demo-cracy! Hey, you! Listen up! Give me the opposition count, group by group. 10 Workers Party, 10 Anarchists, and 30 New Anti-Capitalists. That's the swing vote. Let's convince the NAC to vote November. Bring me their leader. Hey, listen to me! This way. Philippe, this is Theo. -What's wrong with November 12? -Nothing. -But we're also OK with October 28. -That's the government's date. It'll be a quiet protest that will kill the movement. No. If we go with the 28th, it'll coincide with the protest against the deportation of illegal immigrants. I'll cut to the chase. The YS wants to save the education bill. -And I... -You're a Socialist. The Socialist party is a degenerate bureaucratic machine without any direction. -Enough revolutionary crap! I couldn't care less. do you want to defeat this government? -It's not so simple. -Yes, it is. All that Trotsky garbage is useless. I'm asking you one question, just one. Do you want to defeat this damn government? I have to discuss with my Party. What can we offer the anti-capitalists? Other than collective means of production? They launched a subscription offer for their magazine. They need rent money. -How much? -Around 20 000. -Let's do it! -I'll call Riton. Their Secretary General. Many of us went to school with the Trotskyists. It was a great school. Riton was a great professor. Riton, it's Borde. -How are you? -This is your lucky day. -You have good news for me? -Exactly. Silence! Please! 70, 71, 72... Thank you. Votes for October 28, please. -We lost. -Damn it! That doesn't work. They can have Denfert-Montparnasse. The police will worry about incidents because of all the shop windows. Let them do their job. I'll do mine. It's time we stopped overprotecting these kids. It started with violence. That's how it'll end. We could limit protection to 3 riot squad companies. 3 companies for 10 000 protesters? That's too many. I think PSG has a game on the 28th. What if the Interior Ministry warns the commissioner that day, after having spotted fight plans on the web? What's a fight? Hooligans from both teams organize a violent clash together. That should buy us an additional riot squad. That's perfect. -Mr. President, it's time to board. -Thank you. Yeah? I've talked to the police. Denfert-Montparnasse is our only option. -Montparnasse? -There's some parade at Place d'Italie. Take it or leave it. Mehdi's out of his depth. Should I talk to him? No. Let's not discourage him. Did you see Liberation? Yeah. Rickwaert, student puppeteer -Ready to go? -Yeah. Hi, kids. -How's it going? -Good. -How are you, Vero? -Good, and you? All going well? -We're working away. -So I see. You did this? -We got here this morning. -Why aren't the boys helping? -They're prepping for the protest. -There's room at the table. Don't isolate yourselves. Vero, I need your help. He won't let me go to Paris on Saturday. -It's crazy. -There's a protest here. -A gathering. -It's important you be here. How's the revolution coming along? -How is my Rosa Luxembourg? -I'm OK. I doubt Rosa's father was so conservative. Being a Polish Jew with tuberculosis sounds fun to you? You're such a pain. There's a protest here too. I don't get you. You tell me to leave my sheltered world... You're too young to go to Paris alone. A whole bunch of us are going. The more, the merrier, to mess around. Politics isn't like nightclubbing. OK. Vero, can we talk? -I'll really need your help Saturday. -OK. We have to cancel. Why? It's the worst-case scenario. A peaceful protest turns into a gathering of punks. -Is this about Salome? -No, it's not. She's 15, she'll do as she's told. It's about me! I'm on the frontline. If it goes wrong, I'll be seen as an agitator. And it will go wrong. So I'm screwed. There will be police. What do the unions say? They're not budging. What do you expect? We can find some guys to beef up security. -The Marcel Cerdan center... -There's security in numbers. The authorities only react to mass protests. I'm going to see Mehdi and ask him to cancel. -What? -Your timing's off! You got me all worked up. Now I'm part of this mess! -Hi Amelie. -Hi Philippe. Can we meet tomorrow? -Did the old man ask you to call? -He doesn't even know. Hi there. What's up? You feel guilty about the meeting? You should. I'm not here to talk about my feelings or yours. I want to talk politics. -Two separate paths, remember? -Perfectly. You're acting like an opponent. This bill's the biggest reform since the Liberation. You know I'm right. You helped write it. -Not the current version. -I agree, that vocational education deserves more emphasis. I'd like to help fix the error. How? Through Parliament. You are an MP, aren't you? Push through an amendment. Play the majority game. The majority game. You wanted me out of the majority. You know there will be no quotas. But there could be ambitious measures. -Lots of us would support this. -Francis? Francis, Mirmont, the Parliamentary group. Ambitious measures, huh? I'm all ears. Bridge classes. 2-year programs to prepare vocational students for tech institutes. That's very magnanimous, but... No way. Why not? If a kid wants to keep studying after vocational high school, he needs 2 years of prep school first. How does he pay for it? These kids don't have parents to foot the bill. We have to all get behind this education bill. A unified Left is crucial. The Germans are panicking over the cost of the bill. Why was vocational education sacrificed? Sacrificed? That's not fair. With the graduation certificate and its means, working class kids will do better in school. There you go. -What? -That class contempt. You don't think they'll get past high school. Who is you? The upper-middle class, you mean? There you go again. Upper vs. lower class? You're exasperating. I didn't invent the class struggle. Understand this: I love these kids. I know their value. I used to be one of them. Some are bullies, but most are kids who wonder how they'll feed a family. To others, they're just Blacks and Arabs. But I see them as... -Philippe? -What? -The idge classes? -You think I'm an idiot? Laugier throws me in a corner, beats me up, and sends you to throw me a bone. Tell him to shove his classes up his ass! Excuse me, sir. You must wear a tie. I'm taking the floor in 2 minutes. -Rickwaert is intervening. -Where is he? I don't know. Ladies and gentlemen, please settle down. Please! Ladies and gentlemen. -Quiet! Please! -Bravo! Ladies and gentlemen, silence, please! The Internationale Will unite the human race! Order please! We're in session. MP Rickwaert, 13th district North, has the floor. A question on the restructuring of the petrochemical sector and its effects on employment. Thank you, Mr. President. My fellow colleagues and ministers, the rules of our esteemed Parliament dictate that we wear ties, but they can't dictate which questions an MP may direct to the government. Rather than question the industry minister on the petrochemical sector, I'd prefer to question Madam, the National Education minister... Quiet! on the weight of vocational studies within the education bill. Madam Minister, the student protest is a current issue, but have you heard a single person question why our high schools are on strike? No? It's an essential question. Forget the acts of an umpteenth gang of thugs. The vocational students' message is the essential part. They represent 25 of France's youth. Yet, it's like they don't exist. No one hears them, Madam Minister. No, they don't exist! So I ask, where has France's honor gone? When acts of violence become more important than the future of 25 of the country's youth? Where has France's honor gone, when safety is the only criterion that defines the training of France's future qualified workforce? Where has France's honor gone, when vocational quotas are seen as ethnic quotas? Bravo! We're there! Where is France's honor... when skin color takes precedence over the color of the overalls? That's why I wear blue. It's the color of our working class youth! I'm in blue to defend our youth's right to vocational education! I'm arguing in blue to preserve France's rightful place as a great industrial power. That's why. That's why I'm in blue. Mr. MP, could you please conclude? What is your question? Madam Minister of National Education, will you consider establishing a quota system for accepting vocational students in technical institutes? I'll get this. Mr. Prime Minister has the floor. Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen of Parliament. Mr. MP of the North, I thank you for your vi ant plea in favor of vocational education. Many of us share the goals you express with such passion. But once you ing up quotas, our paths diverge. You want quotas? Quotas? No. No quotas. There are quotas for women. Quotas are quite simply contrary to republican principles. People are chosen solely on merit. Merit is what matters in this Republic. As Prime Minister, allow me to state very clearly that setting quotas would be a political error, and a moral one too. Excuse me, Mr. Prime Minister, could you repeat that? I said your proposal is contrary to republican principles. No, you spoke of a moral error. You're insulting our youth. A vocational education is a moral error. You know that's not what I said! Take responsibility for your words. I am taking responsibility. I believe it is a moral error to... With a zero success rate in undergraduate studies? A zero success rate! We'll see on Saturday how France's youth answers back! It'll be massive. -Excuse me? -The protest! They're no longer fighting for something but against someone. That idiot Mirmont gave them an ideal target. What a moron! We'll have to increase the security. We have to be seen as doing the absolute maximum. Mr. Rickwaert! Are you asking our youth to protest? Will you join the protest? Mr. MP, why are you wearing blue? Mirmont, if only you knew Your moral error Your moral error Mirmont, if only you knew Where we'll stick your moral error Up your ass! Up your ass! We won't hesitate! No, no, no! We don't want your lousy reform! Mirmont, ace yourself We're on our way! Mirmont, ace yourself We're on our way! THE BLACK BARON The Student Whisperer
Today's guest is the Black Baron, the Student Whisperer. Hello Philippe Rickwaert. What do you say to those who are accusing you of manipulating France's youth? It's impossible to manipulate someone like Mehdi Fateni. I'm not that that powerful. But you are a powerful man. You got thousands of students to take to the streets. I consider it my duty to push our youth to assert themselves, to express their view of society as citizens, and take their future into their hands. All Socialists should do the same. Are you asking your Party leaders to encourage the students to protest against Prime Minister Mirmont who is a Socialist himself? I'm asking them to behave as true Socialists, whether or not we're in power. Otherwise, what's our purpose? To hang posters during elections and say amen to everything? Are you forming a Rickwaert faction within the Party? Is your goal to lead the Party? Will you challenge Amelie Dorendeu at the next conference? Will you or won't you run for First Secretary of your party? Here's the issue. We can't implement social change without the youth. I don't want the Left to disappoint them again. So I'm asking our youth to become the Left. Join the Socialist Party. Nourish the Party with your hopes and dreams. Fuel it with your enthusiasm and your fighting spirit. Change it from the inside. Without you the Party is a lifeless planet. The PM will be here shortly. Let's begin. Jean Orsoni called me last night. Lots of people have joined in Marseille, Rennes and Strasbourg. They're all young people who belong to a new organization, Friends in Blue. Founded in Dunkirk last week by Veronique Bosso. Then we better ing in new support as well. I've put our local leaders on it, but... -But what? -I may have a better solution. You do? Tell me. A good old bureaucratic manoeuver. What are you thinking? Philippe tried to use the statutes to block my election. It's time for payback. Remember when you didn't want to run the Party? Philippe's kids need 6 months as party members to be eligible to vote. If we move the next conference forward, they'll only have 5 months. Pretty good. You know, I'm well aware of what this feud has meant to you, emotionally speaking. Maybe it still does. No? Thank you for your concern. But everything's back to normal. Viviane Aurillac... Does that name ring a bell? -The Right-wing senator from Isère? -That's her. A very beautiful woman, I hear. Very. I knew her very well. People speak of political life. You can control politics. It's much harder to control life. Eat something. Bon appetit! SOCIALIST PARTY DUNKIRK Everyone here? Friends, our agenda is quite full, so let's get started. Before the debate on the political situation, I have the pleasure of introducing you to 6 new members. Bravo! They're still rallying in their schools, so cheer them on! -Salome! I'll walk you back. -OK. How's my father? Any news? Is he OK? Why ask me? Ask him. He'll just give me protest figures. Those are important too. Do you know what's up with Amelie? -I think it's over. -I thought so too. So what's this about a stepping-stone? The PM's office wants our opinion on their proposal. An extra 200 euros? Mirmont's a big spender! Per month. An extra 200 euros per month for all internships. Including vocational students. -That's pretty good. -Hang on, it's just a big carrot. So they can avoid the quotas. They just want the strikes to end. Why did they talk to you about this deal? I represented the Young Socialists at the coordination meeting. But you were just observers. -Don't forget One Man, One Vote! -Shut up! This isn't a joke. I don't care about your Socialist spat. -Enough. -No, it's not enough. 200 euros per internship. That means a lot to low-income students. But it won't help vocational students get undergraduate education. It improves study conditions. Marx said one step forward is worth a thousand programs. This is your step forward. Do you understand me? I'll be back. Thanks, Mehdi. Take care. Mirmont's buying off the students. Mehdi couldn't stop it? Not with that rich YS kid and that jerk who thinks he's Che Guevara. The vocational students still want quotas. They're dead oke. For 200 euros, they'll forget the quotas and return to class. You've never been poor. I don't understand something. 200 euros per internship is a pretty penny. With Brussels pressuring them on the deficit, where do they get the money? Private businesses pay for the internships. Mirmont can't make this work without them. Marquez agreed, on behalf of the employers union. The small businesses' union agrees to match the State's contribution. He even gave me a nice pen. They'll want the money back, somehow. That's part of the deal. Exemption from social charges on minimum wage salaries when hiring the long-term unemployed. How much will it cost? 2 to 2.5 billion. 2 billion or 2.5 billion? 2.5 billion for a full year. It's well worth it, if we reconnect with the youth and get rid of Rickwaert. OK. Marquez will make a statement tomorrow. Can you please explain what's going on? -We're meeting Boudard. -Auzanet's advisor? Exactly. Auzanet's waiting. Boudard will take you to him. Why should I meet him? How does Mirmont pay for the internships? He cut a deal with the business leaders. Think about it. Auzanet, head of the Conservatives, is the best man to convince them to refuse? I'm lost. Marquez... head of the small businesses' union, is Right-wing. Of course. The bosses' boss. Auzanet owns him. Makes sense. He runs the Right. Are you following? We're talking about the small businesses' union. 1.5 million small businesses. They hire the most interns. Mirmont thinks Marquez is under his thumb. With Auzanet's help, we'll sabotage the deal. If Marquez won't pay for the internships, how can Mirmont buy the students? He can't. So, we're back to quotas. It's simple. Quotas are the only way to win. The rest is all defeat. Auzanet doesn't care about quotas. -He wants to provoke the government. -Yes... and recruit the head of the student movement: you! -You're serious? -He's impressed by you. You know I'm on the Left. -There's no way... -You can lie. Just go and do as I say. Be nice, be pleasant. Say yes to everything. I'll do the rest. There's Boudard. -Philippe... -What? I can't... Come on. Trust me, you'll see. Don't worry. -You're getting me in trouble. -Stop worrying. Hello. Hello. Let's go. Look at this. Beautiful, right? Is that Marquez? Knives are being sharpened in the shadows. The sweet scent of conspiracy. Hello. I'm so pleased to see you. -Mr. Marquez... -Hello. I'm Mehdi. -Thank you. -Take care. Sorry to meet you here, but my flight's in 15 minutes. The Mayor of London is an old friend. -You've been to London? -No, I haven't. -You like English football? -I'm an Arsenal fan. -Will you watch tonight's game? -I'll try my best. Why don't you join us? -Where? -The Emirates Stadium. The Mayor's taking me there. He supports Chelsea, but he'd love to see you in the Presidential box. -Mehdi, I'm serious. -I can't. I'm sorry. I understand. Protests, meetings, the media... Bad timing. I'll mention you to the Mayor. He'll send you tickets to an upcoming game. Philippe told you of my proposal? Main candidate for Paris in the European elections. A nice offer. -Yes, it is. -And I'm confirming it to you. The country has changed but the Right doesn't see it. It's stuck on colonialist values of the past. Mehdi, I need someone like you. There aren't many. In fact, there's only one. I'm looking at him. I've very flattered, thank you. I sense a slight hesitation. -Normally, I'm Left-wing. -Left-wing? What does that mean? You know. Redistribution, sharing, public service... Then I'm Left-wing too! You said normally. Nothing's normal anymore. Appearances, on the surface... I'll use all my political experience to tackle the true values. But I need to think freely, without constraints. That's why I reacted positively and very publicly to your quota proposal. I'll tell you something. There's no justice without efficiency. That is my personal conviction. I've seen you at work, Mehdi. It's yours too. Am I wrong? -No. -No, I'm not wrong. -A prediction for tonight? -3-1 for us. -Speaking like a true fan. -They can do it. -Bet? -Bet. -See you soon. It was a pleasure. -Goodbye. Have a good flight. My driver will take you back. There's an important detail. Our lists were already submitted. We'll have to push this through. There's no time to waste. Let's meet tomorrow. We'll sort out the paperwork, and it'll be settled. OK. -Nothing happened. -She had a big butt. It's the hunter's technique. Hunter? You mean fisherman. You caught a whale! Who the hell are you? -I was invited. -Who invited you? What's going on here? Who invited you? Dad! Oh, shit! Damn, watch out! I'm fine! Damn you... -So? -20 euros? It's only 3 packs of cigarettes. You can pay later. Say we both join the Socialist Party. What's in it for us? Internships with the Mayor? What a jerk! That's not how it works. You get to vote for the candidates in each election. There are 2 monthly meetings. Tuesday's the next one. -Will you come? -On one condition. Go ahead. -Show us your tits. -Are you crazy? Just once. Socialists share, don't they? -Between comrades... -Calm down, you little virgins! -What's wrong? You jealous? -You can show us yours too. -Yeah, right! -Let's go. What prudes! Where the hell were you? -You OK? -I can't. Why not? I can't, I won't. I was up all night. Why didn't you call me? -What's wrong? -I'm not signing with the Right. What did Philippe say? Meet him, sign the papers, get the quotas. Later, you change your mind. It won't work. No. It's only for a week. Once Marquez makes a statement, it'll be forgotten. My signature won't be erased in a week. Who will even know? Auzanet won't boast about you screwing him over. That guy scares me. He always has. I'm here. So is Philippe. I told you, he's loyal. You have to learn to trust. Wait... Listen... -You don't trust me? -Please, listen. -Trust... -Listen! We want kids to join the Socialists. How can I join the Right? It just doesn't work. I'm sorry. -Mehdi! -What? Philippe took risks for you. He could have lost everything. A lifetime of commitment. And you... You've only been doing this for a month! Let's go. Take this. I'm sorry. That asshole Mehdi stood me up. No answer. -What about Rickwaert? -He left messages. -I wanted to speak to you first. -That was a good move. What do we do? Call Marquez back? No. Let's let Rickwaert quietly backstab Mirmont. Jean-Marc Auzanet. Please leave a message. Jean-Marc, call me back. It'll work out. Mehdi freaked out, but he'll be OK. We need to talk. -What's up? -LCI News called. They want to do a piece on you. What do I say? I messed up. -I'm sorry. -You should be. Hey, let's not miss Marquez on RTL. He's on now. ... at the helm of the powerful union of small and medium businesses, what's your position on the trainees' and interns' strike? This strike has hit our businesses hard. We're the ones paying the price. Now, the State expects us to pay for these interns? In practice, that would mean no more internships. How greatly is your sector affected? Today, no sector is immune to competition. The small business owner and craftsman worries each day about incoming orders and payments. How can they absorb any additional expenses? Rickwaert helped us, but he won't get away scot-free. Ouch, I have a cramp. -Is it sciatica? -No, it's Rickwaert. I don't like rotten apples. Grinning and bearing it isn't the only choice. Otherwise, the cramp might get worse. Let's put these pictures to use. Very good. This is perfect! Thanks to our friend Marquez, Mirmont's exposed. At the next protest, we'll cele ate victory! All Paris must be in blue. Tell Mehdi to stop sulking. It'll be his big day. I think he'll be pleased. He was upset, the other day. That's all in the past. Tell him I love him. Let's move ahead. OK. -Back to the publicity agenda. -I'm all yours, my dear. Why is the revaluation of internships a government priority, despite the unions' predatory attitude... Excuse me? The unions' predatory attitude? Yes. Given their about-face, I don't think it's excessive. I think that's quite utal. Let's try... Despite a lack of cooperation... That's softer. Look, Laurent... This is what stepping-stones are for. They allow people to act freely and change their position. We need to find an exit strategy. You'll go on the news, at 8 PM tonight, You'll deny this internship business and talk quotas. Mr. President, quotas are an insult to the Republic. I thought so last week, and I still do. I thought you agreed. What are our options? We'll just say it's an experiment. I'm the son of a teacher and the grandson of a farmer. France's meritocratic system ought me to where I am today. Not an Anglo-Saxon quota system. I want to end this. I'm listening, Bruno. -I've been thinking. -Great. We should talk to Port Authority, to regain use of landing 11. -From what I know... -Very good idea. I started negotiating last Thursday. It's looking good. Anything else? -Did Philippe talk to you? -No, why? -He said he'd talk to you. -About what? About promoting me to project manager. What's Philippe got to do with it? Seriously, don't play that game. You don't get it? Why do you two get everything? I've stuck my neck out for both of you. In Hall F, how much storage space do we have? How much? In pallets? In cubic meters. A project manager should know his shop better than his own wife's pussy. -35 000 cubic meters? -Nice try. Now double that! I think you're where you belong. At the right level. Keep it up. Stick with what you know. What did you know about construction work, until we landed you the Arts Center? There it is! If your other helps me, I have to help you? That's really not very reassuring. First, you say you're capable. Then I owe you something, because you're a Rickwaert? Either you have the balls to manage, or you're just Philippe's other. I can't tell anymore. Why wasn't I told? The chancellery just alerted us. All the elements are here, if you want. No, it's too late to improvise. OK, where were we? Article 3-15, paragraph 2. Has everyone found it? Mr. President, It is with great sadness that I feel obliged to submit my resignation to you. -Hi there. -How are you? Good, and you? Good. I ought a cake. Dad, Salome's here. My favorite niece! Philippa Rickwaert. The little big-hearted princess. -Bruno, stop it. -What? -Aren't you a true militant now? -Am I? I'm certainly proud of you. Not like these jerks who only think of their own butts. We need kids like her. Are you done? Leave her alone. What? I'm proud of her. Can't I tell her? Sure you can. -Do you mind? -No, thanks. You don't really care what I have to say. Why are you talking like that? That's the problem with politics. No one ever laughs. Every day, there's a new crisis. No time for fun. Your dad's the same. He was funny when he was young. Sorry, I have to go. -I'm joking. Sit down. -I'd rather go. -Sit your ass down! -Hey, Dad! Wait! I mean it, wait! Thanks, keep me posted. -Mirmont has come back to Paris. -He didn't see the Chancellor? No, he suddenly hopped on a plane back. -That smells like a resignation. -Don't be silly. It's the President. Hello, Mr. President. -Hi Daniel. -How can I help you? I have a proposal for you. I'll be in Paris tonight. Come see me. OK, see you later. So? So, kids, how does it feel to have beheaded a PM? -It's not official yet. -His TV appearance is cancelled. I can't believe it. He's going home, tail between the legs. After 6 months ! Now, they have to agree to quotas. Somebody's panicking. Amelie. Come in. Marc, I was expecting you. You OK? What a waste, sir. Where do you want to go? I'd like to return to judiciary. -Really? -We'll see what they offer. Didn't you recently mention the Versailles appellate court? It's a possibility. Consider it done, Vice-President. Thank you very much, Mr. Mirmont. -I need your help. -Of course. Don't worry, it's nothing too hardcore. Thank you. He was ought in for sabotaging a voting station in Dunkirk, during the legislative elections. CASE TRANSFER Paris Public Prosecutor 2 months later, under a fake name, he won a public call to tender, to everyone's surprise. Was it a coincidence? I think we need a quick answer from a competent magistrate. Very well. Thank you, sir. Come in. You want a drink? Some coffee? A glass of wine? How about champagne? Bringing down our PM makes you happy? Very. He wasn't really one of us. You know what this reminds me of? Your story about 1932. You're right. It's hard to forget. This is nothing like that. You and Laugier are killing each other. You're dividing the Left. The only winner is the extreme right. Laugier used violence to undermine the protest. -If I hadn't shown up in blue... -Yes, he used violence. But you pitted the street against our government. You're both alike. You have no limits. Someone has to stop you. Who, you ? I'm not like you. My life doesn't revolve around the next 5 elections. -I forgot. You have no ambition. -I have ambition. But when I walk on stage, I get a rash and my back hurts. My ambition is to do my job well. As First Secretary, that means uniting the Party. Gathering the Left together. Not to be a downer, but that'll be hard. Why? You want to run the Party? -You won't succeed. -We'll see at the conference. Your Blue friends who keep joining? The conference will be moved forward. They won't be able to vote. They won't have 6 months' membership. I had a good teacher. Now I respect the statutes. I'll take this all the way to the Council of State. Go ahead. You'll have a verdict in... 4 or 5 years. This why you asked me over? To tell me this? Kalhenberg will be appointed PM. I convinced Francis it was the best option. The former rivals have made up. A new and united dynamic. Kalhenberg wants you as Labor minister. He's arguing over it with Francis. But with my backing, it'll pass. Me, a Laugier minister? -In Kalhenberg's government. -For Laugier. Go work on the quotas. You've won. Did you hear me? You won! Now, follow it through. You should already be a minister. That's enough. Is it so hard to admit I'm right? Ask Daniel. He'll agree. Who else can you be minister for? What's the alternative? Being the eternal rebel, the know-it-all, the beautiful loser ? At least I'll be free. Who says you should be free? You're here to ing a little freedom to others. Me, a Labor minister? It's a great job and it suits you perfectly. Do you realize how far you've come? Are you afraid to succeed? Be less arrogant and more proud of yourself. It would do us all good, especially me. -You've changed. -I didn't exactly have a choice. I'll do it. The President will be back at 10 PM. He's seeing Kalhenberg. I'll keep you posted. But it's looking good. If it makes you happy... The Chancellor wants to address the refugee issue. We received the Chancellery's memo. We fully agree on the numbers. Very good. Can we get started? With pleasure. Mr. President, may I have a word? It's urgent. Please excuse me. This was posted on a Right-wing blog this morning. It was retweeted late afternoon. Rue 89 published the first article, a half-hour ago. A Student Leader in Troubled Waters Thank you. That little shit! He figured out the system pretty quickly. -Damn! -Stop it. You think I'm plotting with the bosses and businessmen? You'd do anything to rile Laugier. Look... -The Right does fine without me... -Don't waste your eath. Believe what you want. Laugier will think I'm guilty. I won't be minister. Protect yourself. 4th floor, apartment 47. Good evening, Ma'am. Sorry to bother you. -I'd like to speak to Mehdi. -Who shall I say is here? Philippe Rickwaert MP. Mom! Who is it? It's OK. Hi. Give good head, you bastard. Auzanet and his bitch Why are you looking at this garbage? You shouldn't. The web can be depressing. I know how you feel. You were committed to a cause. You took risks for others. Now it looks like you'll sell your ass to anyone. Don't have regrets. We won. That's why it's so utal. A pleb and an Arab kid... They want us to pay. -I know all that. -So why are you upset? They want you to be ashamed, to hide out. They're succeeding. Are you angry? Do you hate them? Good. Use that hatred. In politics, hatred goes further than diplomas. In any case, this is where we're at... trying to fix things. How will you do that? By becoming minister. You, a minister for Laugier? I don't care about the title. But only the President has real power. -So why be a minister? -I'll be the protest minister. At first, I'll be cool. Soon, I'll stick my nose everywhere, question everything. I'll defend my own position. I'll harass Laugier, from my minister's desk. There's a division within the government. -There will be a primary. -What about the photo? It'll stop you from being minister. -Clear my name and no one will care. -What do you mean? You make a statement. You agreed to run for the Right in the European elections. Why did you see Auzanet? Because he backed the quota proposal. Mirmont did nothing but insult you. Everyone knows I'm Left-wing, because you and I work together. Say I disappointed you. I asked you to join the Party. You refused, and I couldn't accept that. You're young and free. You don't care about political parties. Auzanet never asked you to join his, did he? Clear my name and I become minister. You become a European MP. We keep fighting. -I can leave whenever I want? -Of course you can. Once I'm a candidate in the primary, that's when you come back. What do you say? OK. -Just OK? -What? I'll be a protest European MP. We'll annoy the shit out of them. That's the spirit! -Let's go. -Where? -Let's write your statement. -Right now? When else? It's the perfect time. Why I am joining Jean-Marc Auzanet Has the President read it? Yes, according to Borde. I'm not sure he was moved. He needs to understand something. Rickwaert stirring people up, this changes things. He'll push me to the Right. I have my political stance. -This wasn't part of the deal. -No, it wasn't. You sold me this office with united Party support. I'm warning you. Fix this or I'll refuse the position. Let me sort this out with Laugier. It's important you take care of yourself. Good morning. -Ms. Amelie Dorendeu. -Have her enter. Thank you. -Where is Daniel? -We must consolidate our side. Naming Kalhenberg as PM isn't enough to unite the Party? Not without Rickwaert. Especially not over a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding? I'm sure he didn't sell Mehdi to Auzanet. Did he tell you that? We haven't spoken since his show in Parliament. But I've seen Mehdi. He came to see me, wanting to join the Party. -In exchange for compensation. -Compensation? To be a Socialist candidate in the European elections. I didn't like his attitude. His way of imposing conditions. I played for time, left it open. He decided to try his luck elsewhere. I think his disappointment with the Left is sincere. He acted for himself, not for Rickwaert. He knows what he wants and he's too impatient for Philippe. You also know exactly what you want. What do you mean? If this little fairy tale can help unite the Left, let's make an effort to believe in it. -I assure you... -Stop. That's enough for today. Go reassure your friends. Mr. President. Daniel, come in. I'm happy to see you. -Hello. -Hello, sir. -The minister's office? -Your name? Cyril Balsan. That way, first door on the left. -Thank you. -You're welcome. -Hi there. -Hi. -It's this way? -If we don't get lost first. Mr. Minister! -Did you find your offices? -What? You're hired, my friends. Press/communications advisor. Chief of Staff. Fanny, you... take this one. Isn't it for your assistant? Who cares about my assistant? This'll be more fun. More fun? What do you mean? What does more fun mean? I mean... it'll be more practical. We'll have files to share... -What? -You're cute. That's all. I'm cute. I'll go to my office. Yeah, great. Yeah, great. I can't believe I said that. The City ings culture closer to you 5.35 million euros --Hi, Veronique. -Hi, Officer. -How's it going? -The inspector is checking. No proper work contracts and 15 illegal workers. Was there a surprise inspection? No. We've been on Balleroy for a while. The Public Prosecutor gave us a push. Congratulations. -Excuse me? -I said, congratulations. With Philippe as minister, you'll become Mayor. Thank you. Hello? How's it going? -You have to come. -What do you mean? Come live here. The apartment is magnificent. You'll be in a top school. It's the only way to be together. I thought you'd be happy. -I am happy. -When are you coming? I'm not alone right now. Can I call you back later? -Who's there? -Some friends. Sure. -I love you, honey. -Bye. You OK? My dad wants me to live in Paris. What about you? I don't know. -Those two jerks are right. -What? To want to see your tits. -Show me? -Don't be silly. I'll join the extreme right... You a real Nazi bitch, aren't you? What's wrong? Should I move to Paris or not? What do you want? Secretary of Trade and Tourism Jean-Marc Dampierre Prime Minister Daniel Kalhenberg Minister of Labor and Employment Philippe Rickwaert

This is not much but.. You're awfully generous, Kelly. Uh, Charlie might have rode the limit if that onc hadn't been so spooky. Charlie won't be doing nothing for a while. Yeah, that's why I figured you'd be needing this. You can read a girl's mind better than that. Goodnight. Boy Scout. Had a tough fight. First time I ever saw you walk away from that kind of fight. Now, gang, let's give a nice hand to Jackie Adams, a trick rider. And get her up here to do a song for us. A real nice hand, how about a real nice hand there. Yeah! - Hey, Jackie. Have a drink. - Drown. You can whistle you can wink But in spite of what you think I'm a good sweet home type girl I may not appear naive But appearances deceive I'm a good sweet home type girl I can't understand for the life of me Why no one walks me down the aisle Why no one wants to make a wife of me Or is my type of girl out of style I can sew and I can cook I deserve a second look I'm a good sweet home type girl Never wander from the farm never calls a false alarm I'm a stead home type girl But my kind of goods are saleable Nobody wants to wear old pearl But if somebody should I'm available I'm a good sweet home type girl A good sweet home type girl A good sweet home type girl My type of goods are saleable Nobody wants to wear old pearl But if somebody should I'm available I'm a good sweet home type girl I'm a good Sweet home Type girl Thank you. You ride, you rope, you sing. You've got more talent than I thought. - Anything else? - Alright, I give up. You can let go, now. Now, Jackie, that's out of character. You could win top prize money with me any time, any place. And before we get to Panamint, I'd written enough copy to make you the hottest rodeo queen in the whole circuit. That's only the second thing you have in mind. What's the matter, baby, don't you like to see your name in the newspapers? You couldn't put it in large enough print. Now, get your hands off! Sure. Hey, Charlie! Five, I get your ten, he don't rope that girl. You got a bet. No! No! Help! Let me go. Get off. Mark Wilson. Now, son, you shouldn't do that. Not to a known sports writer. You loss him up, we can't do a good job writing about this. You don't do that. We don't sell tickets. We don't get any money in the kitty proprietary. We don't get any prizes, we don't eats well. Go back, get the wagon. I'd like to saddle my hands on that rope spinning trick riding little-- Then you saw me ride today? Yeah, I saw you ride. Lady, next time keep sitting in the saddle. Maybe guys don't get such a good look. You don't get yourself in such a tight spot. I'm sorry, I got you into it. But thanks for helping me out. You can drop me off at the nearest bus stop or something. I'll be alright. And Mister. You'd better keep sitting in the saddle next time you ride, too. Maybe you won't get to eat so much dirt. - Cool Man! - Eve, honey! Hi, Eve. How are you doing? Jackie Adams. Eve Tuttle. - Hello, Eve. - Jackie. - What? - Oh no, this is strictly co-op. Everybody on their own. Well, in that case you take number six and you two take number 44. Okay. I'm not sleepy. Take care of the horses. - I'm gonna wander. - Yeah. - See you in the morning. - Sure thing. - Kelly, mind if I wander, too? - Sure, why not. Goodnight, see you in the morning. Goodnight. - How've things been? - Sometimes we eat. Sometimes we think about the things we ain't got to eat. Kelly, has he been behaving himself? Well, you know Kelly. At least we keep moving. Or somebody's aim is pretty bad. Oh now, Eve, you know Kelly ain't got them kinda bad habit. Sure. Well, how's things between you and Kelly? Well, I guess you'd say we're just between eating and thinking. Well, stop thinking and point Kelly to Little River. They're having a big frontier rodeo up there. Locals. Kelly oughta walk away with the whole town. Locals? Locals? I didn't know they held rodeos here. Yeah, pulled it last season. Let's sit down. - Cigarette? - No, thanks. Cool Man and I worked just two seasons ago. We did pretty good. Eve's husband, he, uh...didn't do so well. Fell off a horse and oke his neck. You're chilly? Thanks. Like an empty battlefield out there. Yeah, sometimes you take a little blood, leave a little. I saw you ride the other day. Yeah, I guess I did eat a mouthful of dirt at that. For a minute, I didn't think you'd walk away from that Brahma. And neither did I. Seems like...each time I walk away a little slower. Why do you, Kelly? Why do I what? Stay in it? Ah, lots of reasons I guess. Name one that's worth getting buried for? I'd sort of be unhappy if I got buried with my pockets empty. It'd hurt my pride. It'd hurt your pride a lot more if they couldn't bury you all in one piece. Well, to tell the truth I figure I got three maybe four more good years left in me. So, one day I don't walk away from a bull or a horse. I end up like Cool Man. Twisted ribs, oken bones... A hole big enough to stick your fist in it from a steer's horn. When that happens, I want to have enough put away so that I can let my aching body to rest in a nice piece of land I've got picked out. Yeah, I got me a real sweet little piece of land all picked out. If you live that long. I'll live that long. - Name? - Kelly Cobb. 'Not from around these parts, huh, friend?' 'Ah, you might say a little bit from every place.' Why? What's that got to do with it? Oh, now, don't go get in your horns up at me, friend. I'm just running this week. The Mayor here, he makes all of the rules. 'He wants to keep it a family affair.' 'All the contestants local from town.' I don't figure our entry money's smell is too different. Exactly what I was thinking. Weren't you, Mayor? Isn't that what you were thinking, Mayor? I w-was. You see, friend, no discrimination. That'll be 20 dollars. And there's a special $10 entry for the big two horse race for the day. That lets us out. You're not so local yourself, are you? 'It's for the top prize money, friends.' Kelly, wait a minute. Oh, Jackie, I can't take your money. Forget it, you'll pay me back. How would you like to win that? Yeah, in the roping contest. 'Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.' 'A great big western welcome to you all.' 'To the Frontier Days rodeo here in Little River.' 'We've got the top hands from the surrounding country here' and they're going to be competing for top money on the toughest oncs, bulls and steers that we could find. 'You're all in for a large size' 'afternoon of thrills, stills and spills.' 'Now, ladies and gentlemen, on our afternoon's program' 'it's the cowboys saddle back riding' 'and it looks as if the first boy... - 'is about ready to come out.' - Outside. 'Yes, he is, and here he comes.' 'Little Dave getting stumbled up. That's it.' Now, ladies and gentlemen, we are ready for our next onc rider. It's a new face to you folks. It's Kelly Cobb. 'He's having a little bit of trouble' 'but he'll be out in a minute and here he comes.' 'And it's Kelly Cobb.' Play with him, Kelly. Hook a head. - Ride 'em. - There it is. - Ya-a-ay. - 'It's a money ride.' 'For sure, ladies and gentlemen.' 'Next up is Franky Crawford.' 'Franky is a pretty good boy.' 'Oh, man, oh, man, that was a real spill.' Too bad, ladies and gentlemen, we've got a little bull docking coming up. This is the one of the dangerous events in rodeo which the cowboy attempts to fist down a fast running steer after diving from the back of his horse. 'These steers can really eak.' 'They can eak faster than a turkey' 'on a day before Thanksgiving.' 'And Kelly Cobb isn't pulling one bit.' 'He really nailed that steer right out of the chute' 'and he's twisting him down.' 'Man, is that Kelly Cobb like greased lightning.' 'Looks like he's the one to beat here today.' 'My, my, that doggy there looks like he ran smack' 'into a butcher's convention.' 'The next dogger out is Franky Crawford.' 'Got some calf ropin' coming up next, folks.' From here it looks like Ben Preston, the next roper. Here he comes after those veal chops. 'Oops, Ben's having a little trouble ing home the bacon.' 'Well, it wasn't that effective, Frank.' 'Hey, Maestro. How 'bout a little waltz music'' 'Here comes Slim Turner, folks.' 'Slim works in Jenkins' grocery store here in Little River.' 'He's got a hankerin' to be a big rodeo star.' Oops, then, well keep practicin', boy, keep practicin'. 'Well, that Kelly Cobb's back again.' 'And folks, if he keeps on goi'' the way he has been today' 'he'll really be totin' home a sack full of that green stuff.' 'He's got a pair of gats ropes around the calf's neck.' 'He's down on him now. He's got him down.' 'He's making his wraps and tie off.' 'There it is. It's time.' 'And it looks like fast time in anybody's league.' And a time of ten-one, ladies and gentlemen. Very good time in anyone's league. 'And a hard time to beat here today.' 'Yes, sir, sure looks like that man's up to play for keeps.' 'He's got the money in his pocket right now.' 'And now, ladies and gentlemen, for the big event' 'of today's rodeo. It's the Roman riding race' 'Standing race. Four teams in the race.' 'Eight horses. The boys are warming up now.' 'Going on down around.' 'They are really going to give you a big thrill.' 'You want to watch this close.' 'It's the most difficult thing to do.' 'This is a short closed arena.' 'The boys will be standing one foot' 'on the back of each horse.' 'Very hard, takes tremendous balance' 'and skill to do this job.' 'We've got four of our men there.' 'We've got Sandy Lawson, Buck Hughes' 'Kelly Cobb and Red Mars.' 'They're about ready now, they're still' 'coming down through. They're into a gallop now.' 'There's one up.' 'Watch closely, another boy up. There's the third' 'and then there's the fourth.' 'And they're off.' 'It's the first turn, it's Sandy Lawson in the lead.' 'Other boys are going wide.' 'Watch it now, there's a bunch-up on the turn.' 'Watch closely now. Lawson holding in there.' 'Buck Hughes pressing close after him.' 'Lawson still going on down through there.' Come on. 'All the boys had to pull wide then.' 'Speeding so fast.' 'It's Sandy Lawson in the lead.' 'He was in the lead.' 'They're really flying now.' 'It's Buck Hughes, in the lead now.' 'Watch it, Buck, they're closing up on you.' 'Going down the back stretch now.' There's a bad spill, ladies and gentlemen. 'It's Buck Hughes, he's hung up. Trying to get loose.' Yes, he did. He got loose, ladies and gentlemen. Buck Hughes is free and the race is going on. 'They're really moving now.' 'These boys are really riding hard.' 'Here they come, coming up.' - 'One lap to go.' - Yeah! Yeah, get outta there, Kelly. Kelly Cobb, now coming in and taking the lead. 'It's a very short lead.' 'Kelly Cobb is going to win it, and he's coming down' 'to the wire and it is Kelly Cobb.' 'Your winner!' Big other Spade. He's gone and the money with him. Yeah, that's right. We've been taken. It's Frontier Day, gentlemen. And we just got pioneered. Let's go look up the sheriff. Good lookin' philly. Whoa. Well, here we go again. Yeah, but in the opposite direction. That fellow took the money. He took it alright. Took it and took all. I say that we blow out of here just as quietly and gently as we can. Well, what's that got to do with us? I'm the one that sweated out there for nothing today. Come on, get with it, Kelly boy. The law just might get the unfriendly idea we was in with that feller. Ringers. Honest, I swear, I thought I just heard somebody shot.. Good looking piece of horse flesh. I bet you got him trained real good. Have a nice trip, Jafford. I was just admiring the horse. Darn it. - Come on. - Kelly! You travel in circles and that's how it goes The same dusty places The same rodeos Your pockets are empty Your spirits are high When are they inging short and rare? Or some other guy There's racing and riding and ropin' the calf There's ahmas and oncos to bust you in half You get used to losin' but beggin' your pardon The bones don't like uisin' and the grounds of my parts You ride for your dinner you ride for your drink There's steak for the winner all juicy and pink But lose and you find out the best you can do Is look for a hand-out or settle for stew You travel in circles and that's how it goes The same dusty places the same rodeos Your pockets are empty your spirits are high It's you for the money Or some other guy - Thank you very much, Tex. - Alright. And now, friends, I have a treat for you. We're gonna have a number by a little lady who calls herself, Jackie Adams. 'Jackie and her friends are rodeo performers' on their way to Panamint. Broke. But never let it be said that the Bill Oakie ever turned anyone away from here hungry. So little Jackie is gonna sing a little song for her supper. What do you say we give her a great big appetite? How about I Want Something To Dream About Tonight? I'd love it. Before I go to sleep tonight I want something to dream about Honey I'd like to hold you tight So I'll have something to dream about And that's not all I'd like to do I want something to dream about Honey I want to kiss you too So I'll have something to dream about I want Something something Something I want I want something to dream about tonight I'm sick and tired of counting sheep from one to ninety two Who's thirsty?

They liked you. I like you, too. Come on, let's talk. Yeah, she's over 21. Maybe she wants a career. Look, I...my friends-- They'll wait. - Really, I-- - You know, you're pretty good. How would you like to work here permanently? - What do I have to do? - Sing. What else? Now, child, you shouldn't be thinking things like that. I shouldn't? Father? 'Kelly! 'Kelly!' You better get the wagon ready. Go on, get moving. This is getting to be a habit. That makes it twice I had to say, I'm sorry. Now, the trouble is you don't know your own strength. For a little girl, you pack an awful lot of manpower. For you too, Kelly? I gotta check the wagon. We've got plenty of night driving to do yet. Thanks. I'm not very hungry. You can tell me to shut up or stop thinking out loud. But you got a fire burning for Kelly almost as hot as this one? 'Kelly, he's not like ordinary people.' It takes a wild man to ride a wild horse. He's no different when it comes to women. I know...like a raising from a coal. Just when you think he might get the peaceful notion of going the route, it's.. Yeah, when Kelly unseats them, they hit that ground harder than any onc can throw 'em. And sometimes that kind of hurt can last a long time. 'Alright, come on, gang, let's go. We gotta be moving.' I've always been a lady in front of company But like the tree is shady there's another side of me I was born reckless so why shouldn't I Stay reckless till the day I die? I walk right under ladders where others wouldn't dare With me it doesn't matter 'Cause I guess I just don't care I was born reckless So why shouldn't I Stay reckless till the day I die? Papa, Papa. Uncle Señor Kelly, he is coming. 'Mama, Uncle Señor Kelly, he is coming.' Grandfather, grandfather wake up. 'Uncle Señor Kelly, he is coming.' Ah, Kelly, come. Amigo! - A partner, too, huh? - That's a long story. Mama, you get more beautiful every time I see you. And you are a beautiful liar, Kelly Cobb. If I were only a little bit younger. You did not ing the money? - Dolores, oh! - Welcome back, Señor Kelly. Gee, I thought you were gettin' a little heavier. Congratulations, José. What do you want this time? Well, to tell you the truth, Señor Kelly it's never what I start out wanting. It's always what Dolores tells me we're having. Oh, José! Mama, Papa, I want you to meet.. Oh, Señora Cobb. Uh, Señorita. - Oh, then you're not-- - No, we're not. You are a very foolish boy. - 'Jackie Adams.' - How do you do? Hello, Mama. Hello, Papa. And this is Lola.. '...and Chiquita.' 'And Manuel.' - And this is grandfather. - Grandfather. Grandfather, he believes in the siesta. He says it's healthy and restful for the body. He takes one siesta a day. All day long. Now, can I go back to my siesta? Come. You will want to wash after your long ride. Uh, Papa and me, we got some business to chew over and then, uh we'll head into Panamint and sign up. Sure, sure. You did not ing the money? You did not send any money for the last six months. Ups and downs, Papa. I got thrown in Malad City and I hurt my arm, I couldn't rope. Couldn't send you what I didn't win. And before Malad city when you called me to send you money you've wrecked then maybe a woman's heart, hey, amigo? Ah, that was different. Oh, no. It is no different. It is money. From Red Bluff, you sent me $300. From Angel's Camp you borrowed back $200. You win again at Santa Maria and send more money. You get into trouble at Pocatello then you come to Reno. Ah, Kelly Cobb. I dreamed that some day we are able to buy that land out there. That you and I, we raise a good-blooded cattle. Horses, too, maybe. Like the one you are riding. But how are we gonna go this? If you send, you borrow you send, you borrow? Pretty soon you're gonna borrow more than you send. Then what? We have nothing. Papa, I... - How much? - Entry fees for tomorrow. Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.. Hey, that's it, Tom. Calf ropin', bareback, bull doggin' saddle oncs and ahmas. Hey, going the whole route, this time, eh, Kelly? Yeah. Tell me, what are you planning to do between events? - Pray. - Well. With some of the bulls we got around here, ride that might not be a bad idea. - Good luck. - Thank you. - Number 30. - See you in the arena. 'He's beautiful.' What you got against living? - So, it talks. - He's a bad one. 'He's got spooks running loose in him' 'from his feet to his ain.' What's it like to ride him? To be on his back? Like you stop living for 10 seconds. Your head comes off, and you can't think. Can't eathe. You go blind until it's all over. Do you still think he's beautiful? I know somebody that is. - What are you selling? - Les Hunter. What is that, a name or a new tranquilizer? I'd hate to think of it putting you to sleep. Well, I doubt that. What do you do? Rope or...ride? Rope a little. In the spectator's manner of speaking. I see. Oh, no. No, you don't see. I've got a winter home here. My ex-husband was very generous. So was I. Well, one good turn deserves another. This yours, too? I'm having a little party before the rodeo. Wanna drive me home? I have to work for a living. I'll let you. Kelly! You, uh, you go ahead and take care of things. 'I'll see you both back at the ranch later on.' Alright, I know. It takes a wild man to ride a wild horse. So he's late But even if he's late I'll wait A little longer Time is dear But heavens when he's near I'll wait A little longer Here am I And over me the sky is blue The heart of me is too Finding love as such That those who want too much Too soon Discover love Is not that way No matter what they say It takes A little longer When you care for one who's unaware It takes A little longer On and on Till one day comes the dawn It takes a little longer than it seems But wait I will I'll wait Until His arms fulfill My dreams When you care for one who's unaware It takes A little longer On and on till one day comes the dawn It takes a little longer than it seems But wait I will I'll wait Until His arms Fulfill My Dreams Alright, kids, everybody go to bed. You dream the same dream as Kelly, baby. How do you dream dreams with your eyes open, Papa? Well, sometimes it is the best way. You can see what you want in your dream. I dream someday all this belong to Kelly and I. I save hard to put away my share. And Kelly? I know he wants it, too. But sometimes his eyes are shut too tight. Not the way he went off with that little dream today. His eyes weren't shut. He will wake up. You didn't see this dream, Papa. Right out of a bedtime story. But not for children. I don't know, Papa. With me I get whistles and propositions from all the wrong characters. From Kelly, all I get is protection. What haven't I got that low-down saddle red wants? You wait. Kelly will open his eyes and then-- Then it can be too late. I don't want the man I marry in this business. I know I'm in it. I'm not on the outside looking in where all the Kelly's look glamorous. I've seen too many of 'em hit the dirt and lay there and never get up. - Not Kelly. - Who says, Papa? I want Kelly in one piece. I want him to enjoy the kind of life I can give him. I don't want him living it in a wheelchair. Kelly's indestructible. One of the iron men. Like Cool Man? Maybe after tomorrow and Kelly wins maybe we'll come closer to our dreams. Maybe, Papa. Maybe. 'Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.' 'It's a big day here at Panamint.' 'As the Grand Entry Plate starts off the first day' 'of our two-day rodeo' 'of what promises to be the biggest' 'most exciting rodeo in the whole rodeo circuit.' 'With contestants competing for prize stakes' 'that few other rodeos can match.' 'You name any state in the union' 'and we've got a cowboy' 'representing that state here today.' 'And they'll be riding the Brahmans' the barebacks, the saddle oncs.' 'They'll be doing calf roping and bulldogging.' Stop worrying, he'll be here. Too much prize money for him not to show. I'm not worried. Peanuts, peanuts, popcorn. Peanuts. Peanuts. 'We have assembled here today some of the finest women riders' 'in the country, ladies and gentlemen.' And we present the first event of the afternoon Worlds Championship Tele-Pole Trick Riding 'in the women's division.' - Wish me luck. - Good luck. Each Callahan tryin' to outride these ladies' 'will be giving some pretty good riding lessons.' 'Yes, siree, folks, these girls don't take a back saddle' 'to no man.' 'And now, for the first girl out here is Mara Haynes.' 'There goes little Joan Kirk, ladies and gentlemen.' 'Little, but what a big performer.' 'Look at the girl ride.' 'And here's Jackie Adams.' 'And when it comes to trick riding' 'That Jackie sure knows all the tricks.' 'And now out there in the center of the field comes Bell Vince.' 'Well, now, you just try that on your hobby horse.' 'There goes Jackie Adams again, folks.' 'And Jackie handles that horse like it was a baby carriage.' 'Looks like this girl's gonna wrap up all the high points.' 'How'd you like that, ladies and gentlemen?' 'Wasn't that something?' A trial riding on four feet, a horn dynamite today, folks and there you go. 'And now, friends, we're gonna have' 'the wild and woolly Brahma bull.' 'Comin' out of the chutes now is Bert Johnson.' 'Bert's got himself straddled to Blind Fury and believe me' 'Blind Fury can't see Bert for dust.' Tonight, Kelly baby. Only tonight Liz sees that you behaved. That you're nice to Liz. That's for not being nice to Liz. Just remember. 'And next, comin' out of chute four' 'Chuck Appleton from Calgary.' 'Boy, look at that man go.' 'Well, comin' out of chute number 10' 'I see the last man up on the Brahmas today' 'is Johnny Morgan from Stockton, California.' 'Johnny tied the record for calf ropin' last year.' 'Now, let's see if he can outride this Brahma.' That's one event you can scratch for the day. Maybe you're lucky at that. 'Folks, these bulls must be fed on split atoms' 'the way they explode.' 'You just don't take your life in your hands' 'when you ride these express trains, you give it away.' 'Well, we've got another one of those gentle four-legged beasts' 'mounted and ready to go.' 'Next to a Brahma these oncs are pretty dangerous fellas.' 'They go north, south, east or west all at the same time.' Well, we got another one of these gentle four-legged beasts mounted and ready to go. And he's gone. 'Oh-oh, he's got his foot caught in his stirrup.' 'Good footwork there.' 'Next rider up is Kelly Cobb.' 'Looks like Kelly's ready now and he's comin' out.' 'I guess Kelly forgot to do one of his tricks' 'and can that soft ground can be pretty hard.' 'Well, he's shaky, but we don't hear any bones rattle.' 'Kelly's up now to try his luck at calf roping.' 'Guess that rope just wasn't long enough, huh?' 'Kelly lost.' 'One of the trickiest of all onc riding' 'is the bareback event.' 'You really don't have too much to sit on' 'and it's a question as to who can hold on the longest.' 'Well, I guess Kelly decided to sit this one out.' 'Comin' up now, ladies and gentlemen' 'is a bulldoggin' event.' 'This requires perfect teamwork' 'careful skill and timing on the part of the cowboy' 'who must stow the steer to the ground.' 'And the utmost precision' 'and riding on the part of his hazer.' That sure got a big hunk of beef dropped down on him. 'But while the boys are checking over Judd' 'next comin' out is Cool Man Edwardson' 'to saddle the hay for Kelly Cobb.' 'Kelly seems to be a little off his stride today.' 'But today isn't over yet.' Maybe you'd better let that one pass before you pass out. You don't wanna haze for me, just forget it. Somebody's got to see that you don't get killed. 'Here they are, Cool Man and Kelly.' You alright? I'm sorry, I missed. 'That was a close one alright' 'but Cool Man is up, and he's walking away from it.' 'No, sir, you can't keep an old hound dog like Cool Man down.' - We're quite a team, alright. - So I blew today. You got something to say, say it! - I gotta be some place. - Sure, you do. But don't explain that to me, explain it to Jackie. Oh, so that's how it is. No, it ain't how it is. So, I'm a louse. Now, can I go? I got something important to take care of. So have I. You! I beat my ains out for you. I picked you up shoveling out stables. I taught you everything I know. I wanted you to be even better than I was. Every time you come out of a chute, I come out again, too. Every time you went the ride on the bull, I rode the limit, too. Every time you got your ains scrambled on a onc I got a headache. It was worth it. I wanted you to be great. The only thing I couldn't teach you was how to be human. - I'll talk to you later. - I'll talk to you now. I've seen you fracture lots of hearts. But every time I see you walkin' over that kid, the way you have wavin' that cheap saddle trash in front of her eyes.. I'm sorry, partner. Tonight, Kelly baby. Only tonight Liz sees that you behaved. That you're really nice to Liz. That's for not being nice to Liz. Just remember. You wanna drink? Maybe to forget. No, thanks, Papa. That wouldn't help. It help me forget. Would I ever forget that rodeo today? That Kelly! Yeah, Kelly, you-you can say that again. You know what he did? He hit me. That's what he did. My friend! And me, I taught him all he knows. Every time he rides I ride again, too. Every time he wins, I win again, too. Every time he gets thrown and crawls in the dirt, I cry. It's the same thing my friend Kelly does. But you know what? There's one thing I can't do through him. Is make love and eak hearts. Or saddle up a cheap tramp. Cool Man, where is he? Where's Kelly now? Probably out eakin' all records calf ropin'. Heh. You saved yourself a lot of tears. - Just forget Kelly Cobb. - Yeah, that's right. Take it from an old man. Forget. And you tell me, can you forget him, Papa? Can you forget your dream? And you, Cool Man. Can you forget Kelly? Forget all the good things about him? Do you want to? Papa, let me have the keys to your pick-up truck. - Oh, they're in the truck. - Uh, no, Papa. Don't let her have 'em. She can't drive. - Why not? - You're sober, that's why. You don't know how sober. Thanks, Papa. My friend, Kelly. He's a no-good.. ...white-bellied, olive- anched side-windin', snake-eyed baloney bull. - That's what he is. - Sí. And that's not all. He's buzzard bait, that's what he is. Hittin' me the way he did, my friend. The dirty sage rat. Sí. You know what I'm gonna do the next time I see that vulture? I'ma gonna wring his neck so hard till he starts raspin' like a turkey gobblin' it's spurs the night afore Thanksgiving. Sí. And then I'm gonna spin him around and whop his lump so hard that it'll make riding a Brahma bull seem like a hobby horse. Sí. Look, I was tossing him down pretty good last night. I probably said a lot of things. Then, I would like to know if you meant them. Liz, you're a big girl. And you've got a big check book. I've got a big taste for life. I'm trying to tell you, Liz, I don't go with it. You and me, we're riding two different horses. You talk too much. Well! Company. You could say that again, girl. Out of my way, you! Jackie, honey, wait a minute. Let's get this straight. Hey, what do you think you're doing? Jackie, baby, I only came here to say goodbye. I'll bet you did. Jackie, please, wait. - Now look what you've done. - I haven't started. What are you gonna do? Where have I been? - You make me nervous. - Do I now? So, cool off! Both of you! Go away! Now. - Oh, no. - Oh, yes. Oh, no. Oh, my head. What did I drink that wine for? Coffee, Mama. Good and hot. You're gonna sober up and haze for me today even if it kills ya. To be dead would be such a glorious feeling. Bite your tongue for saying such a thing. Oh, even that wouldn't feel better if I had widen my head. Drink it. Where's Jackie? Uh, she, she did not come back last night. 'So, where is she then? What happened to her?' Here, Kelly. Now it is your turn. 'Well, here we go again, ladies and gentlemen.' 'About to wind up the big two-day meet here' 'at Panamint's Annual Rodeo.' 'And friends, this is the day that some cowboy's' 'gonna walk away with all the money.' 'And here we go now, to the calf roping contest.' 'Hey, now. That's mighty fancy roping and tying' 'in the greased lightning time of, hold on to your seats' 'nine seconds flat.' 'And I'd say that's gonna be the time to beat.' 'Hold on, partner. Ride 'em up.' 'And here, yes, sir.' 'That was Tommy Parks, folks and he whipped the lemon.' 'And from where I'm sitting, it looks like Kelly Cobb' 'is back up in the saddle for little Bronkey.' Outside. 'Man, he's really glued to that saddle 'like it was his own skin.' 'He rode that biggie right into the ground.' 'Yup, Kelly's back in pitching today, alright.' 'And there goes Rob Dotson out on Flying Death.' 'Boy, you just don't sit down for dinner' 'after riding one of those, fellows.' 'That steer has rolled over on him. He might be hurt.' 'Nope. Jake's on his feet.' 'He's doggin' that steer right into the dirt.' 'Good boy, Jake.' You look like I felt yesterday. Don't worry about me. Well, I don't wanna have to pick you up off the ground. I can't take the time. 'Well, that's Georgie Brooks takin' off.' 'And does he ever take off. Hey, Georgie, where did he go?' - Let's go. - 'Anyway, folks' 'if you think doggin' a steer' 'racin' at express train speed' 'is easy,' 'just don't try.' Keep your eye on Kelly Cobb, folks. Number 30 out there today. 'There they go.' 'Kelly Cobb put that steer down in the sensational time' 'of four and two-tenth seconds and comin' out of' 'chute number nine' 'it's Long Whisker aboard Savage Man.' 'Go do it, Long.' That's the buzzard to beat. I saw him steer a guy with his horns for good the day we checked in. You call that spook, Kelly? You don't know what a nice funeral you had. Thanks. 'This looks like a nonstop ride to nowhere.' 'And, man, does that bull hate people.' 'Too bad, Don. Try him again sometime.' And now, out of chute number three Kelly Cobb is gonna try out a pair or two on Black Knight. 'This bull, friends, holds the world's record' 'for throwin' every cowboy that ever climbed aboard him.' 'He's a killer, folks, but we got an old saying.' 'That there ain't never a bull that can't be rode' 'or a cowboy that can't be thrown.' Let me know what happened. Outside. Ride him, Kelly, ride him! 'Kelly Cobb just did the impossible, folks.' 'And rode that bull until it's horns shook loose.' Hi, Jackie. You've come just in time. Our Kelly, he's a new man today. He's stymieing even the wildest one into a little kitties. He better. Put another dime in the jukebox, Cool Man. - That bull blows a wicked horn. - That's no property here. It's your ain saddlin' back in your head. You went the limit. - I did? - Sure. Where have you been all night? Or-or should I ask such a question? It's alright, Mama. I stayed with a couple of girls over at the trailer camp. Kelly, he worries very bad. Before I'm through, he'll worry a lot more. That is good.

You're the finest looking gal here. How about a dance? Why not? Our little Jackie is growin' up fast. Yeah. Come on, gang. The drinks are on me. Set 'em up. How about a drink for poor dry-little-old me, Champ? Sure, I'll buy a poor dry-little-old you a drink. Champ, you had me squeeze my heart out for you this afternoon until it hurt. It hurt bad. Looks like her luck might run out if she gets a live one she can't handle. Yeah, I tried seeing her after the rodeo. She wouldn't listen to me say I was sorry. She kissed me off without a word. Well, why cry on your beer? - Kiss off on the rocks. - Anytime you say, champ. Maybe she's just trying to make you over-anxious. Thanks, father. Let's grab a table. Ah, let's drink up. Now, you got yourself quite a gait. How would you like to meander over to my place? See my new saddle. That saddle is already oken in. I'm sure it is. Excuse me. Marky, baby. Oh, no. Marky, honey. I'm sorry about what happened. Really I am. Sure I know you couldn't be sorrier. You did say I have more talent than you thought? Sure, but that was last week. Maybe I've got even more talent this week. Where you going to ride next, champ? I might just be there. - Who said we were leaving? - Kelly, baby. You read a girl's mind. You readin' Mark Wilson's mind too? Settle back. It's too late this time. You said you could make me the hottest rodeo queen in the circuit. But you said that was only the second thing I had in mind. Maybe I forgot how to...count. Separate the men from the boys Is a job no woman enjoys She has to take her chances From the start And hope she's got a man and not a boy at heart Uncertainty will string her along Uncertain if she's right or wrong To get you to the altar is the only way And hope he doesn't falter on the wedding day 'Cause nine times out of ten It's then and only then You can separate the men from the boys To separate the men from the boys Is a job no woman enjoys She has to put her foot down Lay it along Get off the dime don't give him time To him and her As once he's with his back to the wall He'll do his very best To stall Yes every man like Custer makes his final stand She's got to make him muster up the wedding band I'll say it once again It's then and only then You can separate the men from the boys And always there's a matter of doubt No matter how it all works out A ring upon her finger Doesn't mean he'll yield And every doubt will linger Till it's signed and sealed 'Cause nine times out of ten It's then only then You can separate the men from the boys Yeah Eliminate the boys from the men Separate the men From the Boys Tell me, baby. How big do you want your name in print? Now, Marky. Slow down, easy. Let's not get carried away. 'Let me go.' 'Kelly.' 'Kelly.' Well, finally. You better get the wagon warmed up. 'Kelly.' - Excuse me. - But Kelly.. That was a rough one. When do I ever stop saying I'm sorry. Pretty quick. Just as soon as we're married. 'Olé.' I-I only want to be like you, Uncle Señor Kelly. To ride the bull, rope the calf. Just like you, Uncle Señor Kelly. Alright. Out you get and off to bed you go. - See you, Uncle Señor Kelly. - Manuel, wait a minute. Give this to Papa in the morning. It's for him from us. Tell him we'll be back. Tell him that-- Manuel, tell Papa he can dream his dream for real now. All our eyes are open. I'll tell Papa. And when we do come back, Manuel we won't be roping calves, taming oncs, riding bulls or dogging steers. We're gonna grow 'em right here. He's right, Manuel. And we'll need you and your help. Sí. -- English --
What makes you think I plan on paying more than 5 billion euros? Our excessive deficit falls under the 2 of GDP set by the treaties. The education budget has put France in the red. Hans advises a 5-year instalment plan for the EU sanctions. And you think you and your clone at Deutsche Bank get to decide this? The Chancellor listens to Hans. And he is reliably discreet. Yes, Hans... When Deutsche Bank tried to take over your bank you didn't exactly like Hans. His confidence shows Germany wants a rapid agreement. They're saying talks haven't stalled. Your German friends are great. Spain is the Council's swing vote on sanctioning France. Germany never meant... Tell them that in France bankers don't determine diplomacy. Thank you for coming. Good day. I rescheduled your meeting with the by-law reform committee. The Culture Minister will attend the IT job fair with you. If he wants to, fine. -Fanny? -Yes? -Found it? -Nearly. Philippe? It's no go for the budget. They say it will never pass. -Finance Ministry? -Carbonnieux, us, everyone. Hello! Pressure is on; no way out. Cyril, simmer down! Keep cool. Technocrats are stupid, stubborn, bullying right-wingers, who pour on the pressure. We must be just as stubborn. If not, we've already lost. -They plan to trim the FISM. -The FISM? The Fund for Inter-sector Modernization. They aim to cut the 954 M euros to 25 M euros. Piggy bank! FISM isn't really an acronym. Oh, all right. -What do I tell them? -Tell them to chop their cocks off! Here it is. Will Dunkirk's next mayor pursue Philippe Rickwaert's policies? I'm proud to say that I will. I was his deputy mayor for two terms. So, I'm quite familiar with the sincere way he connects with Dunkirkers. It's this relationship of trust that motivates and grounds me. I'm very proud to serve my city. I love Dunkirk. All my energy will go to protecting Dunkirk's interests. There you have it! There's your role model for commitment and motivation! Romain, give us an overview of costs and interest. There's no one clear-cut profile. Hiring perks must drop to 1.2. Meet me in the foyer. -Finished iefing? -Pardon? Among reasonable men? Excuse us, please. Mr. President! You reassured him a tad, didn't you? Didn't you say, The President is intelligent and pragmatic, and non-payment would betray France's signature? -I didn't say that. -It's what you were thinking. Go on! Let it rip, friend! It's your job. The public isn't aware of the looming decision. But once it is... Once it finds out a non-democratic power intends to sanction France, the public will say Europe's gone mad. I get your anger. A rift with Germany? That would finalize France's decline. Mr. President, you cannot denounce European treaties. You cannot refuse to pay the 5 billion euros. Granted, the fine is humiliating and absurd. You cannot allow the markets to attack France. You cannot allow interest rates to soar. You can't denounce Europe's construction. 7½ hours in the prosecutor's office! 7½ hours saying I don't know you! -Coming here wasn't wise. -Did you screw his wife? What's wrong? Was the hearing tough? What's wrong is the prosecutor doesn't like you at all. I didn't hire the illegal aliens. He says our ballot box caper is how I got... You didn't get anything! Your name isn't on a shred of paper. The lawyer told him that, but he's a cunning, shitty, little prosecutor! He's very suspicious of everything. Suspicious? So what! There's zero proof. Well, maybe... He threatens to make my life hell unless I rat on you. He's leading you on. He wants to sack a minister, but can't. So he's scaring you. Well, it's working! He'll lay more charges on me: like dodging payroll taxes, running a human trafficking ring. Total BS! He said City Hall will file a complaint for falsified invoices. My City Hall? No way! I know, but your deputy, Veronique whatchamajig, is different. She plans a clean sweep. Gérard, I'd know if she did, no? Doesn't this worry you? Do I look worried? Sir, Mrs. Dorendeu wishes to see you. Three cities can host the party's convention. I want to read our motion's part about Europe. I haven't written it yet. I'm still gathering people's views. -No questions on Europe! -It takes the most negotiating. Eurosceptic Kalhenberg and federalist Mirmont diverge. One is Prime Minister, the other isn't. I don't want Kalhenberg's proposal. I see. So you want a text with Kalhenberg's angle? -Right! -Mirmont might not sign. So? As long as we have the majority! The goal was to unite the party, not a confrontation. I want clarification. I want to renegotiate the treaties. In examining our budgetary situation... I see. I'll get by on my own, fend for myself, write it myself. -No! -What do you mean no? I'll submit you a few drafts. I'll write it! Expect it in 2 days. Hi there! A day earlier than planned? I'm flattered. You could sit over there. I can wait one more day. Fine. Listen, it's no fun, but you need to call Balleroy. -Why? -To reassure him. He fears the city may press charges for his Cultural Center bid. Vero? Our legal staff and I have examined every detail and angle. We must file a complaint. Otherwise, we look guilty. Payroll fraud, failure to report new job hires... You know our legal duties. We're responsible. I'm responsible. Not pressing charges is big news. -Why didn't you tell me? -I couldn't inform you by phone. Killing is easier face to face. -No one is out to kill you! -Really? What do you call pressing charges against Balleroy? City Hall means me! Balleroy will sink me! You tell him that I left you no choice, that I control City Council. He'd never swallow that. -It's the truth. -Sorry? Philippe, just between us, in 3 years you've presided 3 City Council meetings. 3 out of 29. I've been the acting mayor for quite a while. -That means my candidates... -Your candidates are mine now! Claude Wieder lost his other. Sabine went back to her ex. Pierre is so oke he sold his rare minerals collection. Here's a shocker: Olivier Tirard found out his sons voted FN in the legislatives. Think I don't know Dunkirk gossip? We can press charges against Balleroy. He'll come off as a crook itching to get off the hook. This lowers his credibility and covers us. I can't tell whether you're naïve or totally cynical. As you know, you can't second-guess judges! I can't let the Right accuse me of corruption. City mayors always get called crooks. We hold our heads high and walk away. It's all we can do! There's nothing else we can do! I warned you about him on day one. That's why you're punishing me? -Get out! -Please... -Out of here! -I'm leaving. But tomorrow, City Council votes on pressing charges. No, believe me, it's not enough. We need more cuts. We're nowhere near Bercy's goals. We can't slash subsidized jobs. No, but why not have the labor board election in Fe uary? It would trim 20 million off organizing their budget this year. It's harsh, but... Great! That's the way to go. They will howl as far as Bercy! Those guys are at your service. Shout louder, or you'll have to file for permission to pee! -Spot on! -When I'm out, you're the minister. OK? All right. I've got to go bawl out two of my city councilors. Anything wrong? Did Vero call you? Yes, I haven't called back yet. Then don't bother. We'll discuss it tomorrow. Talk to you later. They've just arrived. -Have a good evening. -You too. -Mélanie, the labor board file! -Right away, sir. Well... Do you know why I called you? A problem with Vero? A problem, no. A reality, yes. City Council alone won't elect Vero. -What do you mean? -Explain this, then. The best thing we can do for Vero is let her be elected by a citizens' vote. Or she'll always be viewed as a puppet. That's no good. She needs to be respected. This is no time for an election. Yes, it is. I'm a popular minister. It will be a shoo-in for her. Right-wing officials will resign. They want a new election. But forcing one requires a third of the Council. That's why I need your resignations. If you need us, that means Vero doesn't agree. What are you worried about? It's a secret ballot vote. She's not in the loop, eh? Vero doesn't know. She mustn't know until the Council meets. That's risky, Philippe! I've been mayor here for 12 years. I'm better positioned than you to know what's risky or not. Elected to serve you Here we go. Thanks. -Here! -Thanks. What's wrong? I'm looking at you. I've noticed. We parents think if we stare at our kids we'll be able to read their minds. Actually, that doesn't work. Actually, it's quite simple. I don't want to go to Paris. -Why? -I can be an activist here. I've recruited people. I can't throw it away. -Stay in Dunkirk for activism? -You ought to be happy. Paris has activism. At Henri IV, I'd hardly have time. I don't know anyone in our party in Paris. Activism is everywhere since politics is everywhere. Think it over. I can stay if I give up activism? No arguing, Salomé. There's something else. What's the problem? The problem is I'll decide for myself what I want to do. How are you doing? It's complicated. -What's going on? -Listen, -I came to ask for advice. -I'm listening. This situation is... rather complex. France will likely be fined by Brussels to... -Are you all right? -Yeah... I'm with you, Francis. France will be fined in Brussels. Hold on. Excuse me, please. Could you please... -Write it? -Yes. While I put these in. It's really... Should France pay the 4.8 million euros fine for excessive debt? Here. -Europe! -The issue is... I never know when it's going to hit me! Some days, I wish I was totally deaf! Yesterday, in my bedroom, and past the hall, I heard a vacuum cleaner, a lawn mower... They put me in another room. What do I get? The heating duct blowing at me! Thanks. I'm glad you're here. Sure thing, Mom. I'm glad to be with you. -You're not wearing your new dress? -It felt a bit much. Our first female mayor! They must see you like never before! Go on! You still have time. You're right. Thanks. Members of the Council, Dunkirk's Union of the Right, which includes Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, is crossing party lines to ask you to resign from this Council so that Dunkirkers may elect their mayor by universal suffrage, Thank you. Thanks. We will now vote. All right. 16. What? As these 16 resignations make up one third of the city council, we are required by law to hold a by-election with new candidate lists. Now, the next item on the agenda is the Cultural Center case. -It's not allowed! -City Council is dissolved. Until the Prefect confirms the vote, the Council rules! -The people must speak! -The Council rules! Done! It's done! The meeting is adjourned! Thank you. Thank you. The meeting is adjourned. -You're afraid of a vote! -Let's go! The meeting is adjourned! What did you do? -The Voix du Nord reporter is here. -Yes, I asked him to call. -Are you sure? What about Philippe? -What about him? If I'm the mayor, it's my style: free. It's Laugier. He wants me there. -You've no idea why? -He's under pressure. He'll want additional cuts, or changes to labor laws, or both. It shouldn't take long. You smell like love. How are you, Philippe? -Fine. -Sit down. -A little whisky? -With pleasure. Brussels will fine France for excessive debt. And Spain will vote against us. -Why are you telling me this? -To get your perspective. -My perspective? -Yes. You whistle for me like a dog after trying to kill me? -I appointed you minister. -To box me in. You want more war? Walk out, call the press, and reveal it all. There are two types of politicians: those who put hate above ambition and... Those who put ambition above hate. I gave you that! All the others think with their fear. -How much is the fine? -Does it matter? Could the Italians possibly... No, forget it. Pay it? Might as well hand the FN your office keys! From powerlessness to submission! France becomes a tiny province. Gauls with no magic potion. We're dead. France cannot accept a punishment. This is France! She can say no. Europe without France ceases to be Europe. Will Germany take this responsibility? Really? Then give them the thing. Sanctions aren't our problem. They're theirs. -France cannot accept a punishment. -Only a sacrifice. A sacrifice is painful, yes, but it can be noble. A sacrifice can be beautiful. The Bible is full of them. What counts is the cause. It must be beautiful. The question is what do we get in exchange. See, we've reached the same reasoning. -Have you thought of something? -Yes, fiscal harmonization. -All taxes? -All of them. We in the EU must stop fighting each other. We take on China, India, the USA, and we have a critical mass that makes us truly count. -We've said that for 20 years. -But no one's done it. We pay the fines, but we flip the rules. That's my approach. First, you must refuse to pay in hopes of compensation. Play empty chair politics. Bring on the crisis, the show of strength. Then you can negotiate. The issue is no longer for or against Europe. It's for or against you, the campaigning general. And then, you're in something else. Anything can change in a crisis. Everything can implode. What counts is convincing them you won't pay the fine. Will I be believed? I've always been a European. That's your strength. That's the attraction. A European opts for a show of strength. But it needs to be staged. Time must be suspended. Nobody should know what you'll do. Everyone must be in the dark. It's the high sea. Something is happening. -Thanks for answering. -It's fine. I'm sorry about coming so late. I don't know where he's going. -You mean with the EU? -The sanctions. He's serious about not paying. -Is there any negotiating room? -Perhaps. I'm not sure, though. You know the Commission. -We need to talk. -Have a seat. So, Baden-Baden... I suspend all time. You do like de Gaulle did. You vanish. Anxiety sets in. PM Kalhenberg ignores your whereabouts. Where's our leader? What's going to fall on our heads? Two days before the European Council, you reappear and refuse to pay. The crisis rages. We have every chance of winning. Vanishing for two days in this age of Twitters would be quite an exploit! That's the point. Make a big, red stain! We have no choice. That's why I'm here. Look at Jesus. He disappears, then reappears. People have loved it for 2,000 years. I had to go to the Ministry. -Major trouble. -What's up? An employment agency employee is holed up with his kids and two rifles. I must handle it with kid gloves, and discretely. Sorry. I should have called you. We'll talk tomorrow. Yeah. Good night. Shall I call up special forces? They're together. The Council meets on the 17th. We leave 5 days before. On the 13th. That'll leave a full week. It's perfect. I'm taking you with me? I'll be in the stolen photo. There will be no other photo of your Baden-Baden. We're both walking in the distance. The weekend that changed it all. You're sharp. I put my ambitions above my hate, but still... I became a politician to defend minorities. I'm proud of it. But I want to go beyond that. Do you recall the Israeli-Palestinian peace plan signed in Geneva? The one against the Territories? What about it? What EU aid does France get that irks Germans the most? -CAP payments? -Right. We slash farm subsidy policies in exchange for abandoning sanctions. Philippe, have you heard about the city's complaint, you jerk? What's all this? I'm talking about your big whore, Veronique the pain! What about Vero? My first step as mayor will be to file a complaint against the firm that built the Cultural Center for City Hall. -What a bitch! -Bullocks! -I'll tell the prosecutor. -Don't talk to anyone! I'll handle this myself. Philippe, I should be at work. Your boss knows. We need to talk. -I need you, Bruno. -That sounds worrisome. You always wanted to be in politics. You said you wanted to be one of my candidates. As I recall, you said I wasn't... up to snuff. I want you to run your own list of candidates. Is it because of Vero? Is she going to sue you? She wants to screw Gérard. And our pal Gérard has you by the balls. We must twist Vero's arm. You'll siphon off her voters. After round one, your lists must merge. She'll win, but I'll own her. What about me? Deputy of whatever. I lack recognition. It'll be tight. You'll get help in your campaign. You have what it takes, the name especially, Rickwaert. I don't know, Philippe. I have my life. And a new girlfriend, Samantha. She's 30. We're crazy in love. She wants kids. I must introduce you two. She's so fine! I'm happy for you. Look, I don't feel comfortable with this deal. Like I said, I've got my life. So why go make a fool of myself handing out tracts? Because you want to keep your job. You know how difficult Gérard can be. What's the line we'll be feeding everyone? You always help me. I'm an ingrate. You're fed up and want your due. Sounds good. A lie is best when it's close to the truth. Put Samantha in my election list. Bruno Rickwaert Dunkirk First Socialist Party, Dunkirk -Damn! He did it! -Didn't your father tell you? He thought it was bull and tried to dissuade him. Your uncle's taking half our voters. This town sucks! Let me debate Vero. By slashing 220 employment agency jobs and postponing the labor board vote, -we fulfill the guidelines. -Perfect. This will crop up again next year. Isn't this mere busywork? -Next year's situation will change. -How so? -It won't be the same. -But Matignon... Matignon isn't where it's at. Thanks everyone. Thank you very much. My other wants to debate Vero on TV. -He's fearless. -He's starting to believe this. Say, you and Vero have done the unimaginable. Meaning? You two came up with a dirty trick. It's nasty. I had no choice. She went berserk. She messed up. Next, she'll come whining to you. She knows it's no use talking to me. She tried, but saw it was futile. Take better care of yourself, Cyril. Look at your face. You look pasty. You've lost weight. Don't you eat? -Yes, of course, I do. -Tofu? Not just tofu. Don't worry! Let's wrap up our reform plan for curbing fraud in job assignments a oad. Right, the RPCFJAA... -Huh? -I'm joking... about our acronym piggy bank. Henri IV High School Dunkirk, home to Jean Bart! What a man! What a life! The legendary privateer! He's our local hero. Battling the Barbary pirates, the battle at Beachy Head, the Dogger Bank fury. I read all that as a boy. It beats Game of Thrones, I can assure you. He died at what... barely 50? Sorry, I've always been against Jean Bart. -Against Jean Bart? -Jean Bart is all over Dunkirk. You find him on mugs and key chains. It's Jean Bart overkill. However, I'll gladly tell you about King Henri IV, and what color his white horse was. Now there's something I've never heard! The problem is this school is full, but your father insisted. I know. Being a minister, he thinks he can snap his fingers. Whereas for you, none of that counts. He used to be a laborer. He once worked in a foundry for 6 months. I didn't know that. With me alone, your workers' children stats would soar. Last year, you had zero. A huge issue! It's been in all the papers! Really? Can't you make a little room for me? For you, miss, I doubt a little room would be big enough. I'll be in Dunkirk early on Sunday to vote. Did you talk to Bruno? He's crazy. He won't withdraw. Shall I send Veronique a few Parisian activists to help? No, we can handle it. We can't afford to lose Dunkirk. We won't lose it. That moron won't get 10. He won't make it to round 2. Salomé. She'll finish high school at Henri IV. I'll call later to congratulate her. -Are you seeing Francis tonight? -Pardon? Rumor has it you're a regular evening guest. -Do you talk about sanctions? -What sanctions? I still have EU Commission friends. We horrible technocrats stay in touch. The meeting on the 17th looks bad for France. Actually, no one knows. Aside from you, perhaps. Is non-payment your idea? We're simply working. If he intended to pay, he wouldn't call on you. Trying to play tough like Thatcher? With some manly sparring? This is the worst possible timing! -Germany holds elections soon. -Did I say I'd go to battle? I agree about avoiding sanctions, but we must negotiate it. There will always be time later. Did you discuss balancing part of the CAP? The Swedes and Italians will agree. I can make a few calls. We cut our subsidy by 3 times the sanctions, and in return, no sanctions on France. We all save face. -Amelie, did I say I'd wage battle? -Ah, right... You only wage war on hostage-takers at the employment center, eh? DUNKIRK AT HEART, VERONIQUE BOSSO Fraternity, Efficiency Bruno will trail you by about 100 votes. How nice. It's not over yet. Careful! He got 21 in precinct 16. That's huge. -How much in precinct 4? -17 You got 18.56 in precinct 16. We'll trail the Republicans. Maybe even the National Front. You should call Philippe. Bruno's score gets him in round 2. No, I won't do anything until the final results are in! Deliver to the President in person You know, I'd rather we meet in person. Let's not discuss it on the phone. How's your family? Right. May I call you back this evening? OK, excuse me. It's from Mediapart. They want a reply in 48 hours. Mediapart Max Dagon, Publisher Dear Mr. President, I have a few questions. 1. Did your wife receive money in the divorce? 2. If so, did it comply with tax law? 3. If not, were Dunkirk's public housing funds used? Thank you for coming, Amelie. Wait in my office. Are you all right? Yes. Amelie's here. She's aware of your EU plan. She has an interesting proposal. What is this all about? We can do this heads held high by offering Germany a deal. No sanctions, but in exchange we lower farm subsidies. Fine. I'll make do. Show her in. -Precinct 16? -18.56. -No! -I swear! Bruno's ramming his way in! Bruno isn't. Rickwaert is. Hold a second. I'll call you back. -Philippe? -Hi, Vero. We need to meet. France is released from the sanctions now. -What? -Germany's refusal is a game-changer. She's right. I've always wanted to go at loggerheads with Germany. Here, Germany is asking for it. Refusing our proposal on the CAP is a provocation! We'll show the entire EU that Germany is out to punish us. No CAP cuts for sanctions? It sounds like they want a rift! -And a shutdown? -A shutdown for the world's 5th power? Whatever the market attack type, we can hold out 45 days. Beyond that, it's a shutdown. The truth is that France is too poor to pull off a show of force. Martin is right. History will show we did our best to avoid France's humiliation. And I had to accept sanctions for the sake of the European construction. Madame, gentlemen: meeting adjourned. Vero, you wanted to see me? Bruno and I now have to merge. With four vying, the Republicans can't lose. What do you want? Ask Bruno. He's the one running. Knock it off, Philippe. I see. It'd be simpler if it were me. We know each other well after 15 years. But you turned the page. I was so upset after the Council meeting that I... -I messed up. -Let's not go overboard. I know you. I can guess what you're thinking. What I'm thinking? You're talented, but someone should protect you from yourself. I don't need to be protected. I need to know if you're with me. Of course. You have to be mayor and keep running the city. People need us. I'll be ever farther away, beside Francis. You see each other? That's Bruno. Now we need to merge your candidates lists. How shall we go about it, proportional to each score? The majority for me. I mean Bruno's list. It's to be expected. Trust is great, but... playing safe is better. Excuse me. -Amelie, how are you? -Philippe, we have a problem. -Laugier... -What's wrong? -I don't get it. -Tell me. He plans to pay the sanctions without any talks. He'll ruin everything. Call me later. Amelie told me, but I don't get it. You plan to pay the fine? Mediapart is on my back. They'll be on yours when they ing out the OHL case. No one can trace the political funding. It's more complex than that. I gather that some guy is trying to connect the OHL and my divorce. Divorce? Yes, how an embezzlement of low-incoming housing in your town was used to settle my dispute with Nicole. Do you realize how hard it is to lead an international charge while handling a situation like this? Your divorce... So the money I slipped you for your campaign was for Nicole? I was hesitant to tell you at that time. She blocked everything. It could have lasted years. She wanted more than the 700,000 euros settlement. When I realized 200,000 euros in cash would seal the deal, I didn't hesitate. You conned me for 200,000? Did the bank shut your account? Mortgaging would fix it in a week! I had a hearing the following day. If you fail to agree, the procedure takes another 6 months. Kalhenberg might have won the primary. I was adrift. I was about to lose it all, Philippe. Shut your trap!
Rio? All of it. I paid cash for everything. -Airfare and hotel? -What difference does it make? We've already explained it to you. If out of the 200,000, you only spent 20,000 or 30,000, we need only justify that amount. We cut the link between the OHL and the divorce. But I spent it all. -Does that shock you? -No. You're not shocked that I blew 200,000 cash? No, it surprises me. You've always been very cautious. The typical uptight, left-wing Catholic. Had I known the cash came from low-income housing funds, I'd have been more careful. It was the only way to satisfy your request, Nicole. I'm the troublemaker? So I wasn't to enjoy it? Or let our children enjoy it, or the friends you left me? I guess I'm always the troublemaker. It's not that way, Nicole. Let's drop it. -It's very Sganarelle! -Pardon? -Do you know Molière's Sganarelle? -Yes, I do. The splendid flunky character... Fitting, isn't it? Francis used to like to call you that. The corrupt politician, the venal wife... People will eat it up! -Forget Nicole! -Damn it! Forget her, I said. When a divorce gets nasty, you pay up, as everyone knows. How she spends it is her business. Her spending isn't our business. The source of the 200,000 euros is. Right! Mediapart falsely claims it's OHL money. I wish it were... What do you own that you could have legally sold and with no fiscal reporting? I don't know. I have a collection of old photos. I have Man Ray originals. -Bought more than 12 years ago? -No. To be tax free, it must have been 12 years ago. What else do you have? Paintings? My wine cellar is nice. I have a few cases of Haut Brion. How much is that worth? Hard to say. The Romanée Conti is worth 10,000 euros. A Saudi prince has that, not a Socialist president! It wasn't worth that then. So what! A 10,000 euro bottle of booze? People will think that's crazy. -I have a piano forte. -A what? It's midway between the harpsichord and the piano. It's an 1806 Érard. It belonged to Marshal Bernadotte. A pianofuerte will do. Nobody knows pianofuertes. No, piano forte. Music's good. It's noble and popular. Everyone likes music. Is it worth 200,000 euros? When my father had it appraised, it was worth quite a bit. Now, who could have bought it two years ago in cash? The only person would be my cousin, Romain. He owns hotels in Africa and likes money-making deals. Since I've become President, he has often offered to do me favors. A cousin will do. He's family. Family is perfect. Aside from your security guard, who can you trust? Nobody. OK, we'll roll with that. Fine, no merger then! My candidates run in the second round. That's enough already! Bruno, I've told you before, city planning is technical. Regulation is strict. That's that! I refuse to be some deputy sports officer. This city's all about handball. I hate handball. You already have half the list. I'm talking about me! I scored 14. I get to choose, don't I? Philippe said I get any deputy position I want. I don't give a flip. But you heard him ask me to oversee the coalition, right? Screw all of you! I'm running my list! -How elegant. -Enjoy your laugh now! You won't when I beat you in Sunday's election! -Think that's funny, jerk? -You can't run, Bruno. The people on your list would have to agree. Aside from this young lady, none of them do. -Why not? -Election rules. Election rules? Don't try to screw me over! If you get screwed, Bruno, it won't be by me. Deputy sports manager. Sit down so we can get to work. Let's go to the next plan. Europe is your only hope. You must do some wrangling to prevent sanctions. Before Mediapart shoots you down, you must speak right away. Once the battle starts, the shit will hit the fan. They'll drag you through the mud because you dared to say no. -Who is they? -The Right, the Germans, the 200 families, the pile of money, whatever... You mustn't give in to the pressure. You mustn't pay. No, it takes time to plan this out, Philippe. -You can't do it like that. -Our necks are on the line, Francis! Do you want to die? I don't. Amelie will draft your speech. The fine based on 0.2 of the GDP will come to 4.8 billion euros. We are, of course, able to pay it, but I have decided... Do you see any word that looks out of place? There is this last little thing here. I'll make a minor change. Otherwise, it's just fine. Thank you. There we go. -How long before we're on? -We're ready. I'm very proud to be at your side through this battle. Thank you, Amelie. Mr. President? Five, four, three... My dear fellow citizens, for two years, as you know, I have defended France's interests within the European Union in honor of our past and the centuries of war we have endured that have ripped our continent apart. I have done it for the future because Europe has what it takes to compete in a global economy. But, between the past and the future, there is the present. Six days from today an EU council will impose, as the German Chancellor informed me by phone, sanctions on France for its excessive deficit. The fine based on 0.2 of our Gross Domestic Product will come to 4.8 billion euros. We are, of course, able to pay it, but I have decided that we will not. Son of a bitch! The future begins with the present. This present will happen with the signature of a new treaty, a thorough and ambitious redefinition of the E.U.'s missions. Citizens, far from isolating herself, France is pulling together. In Brussels tomorrow, I will speak with the President of the EU Parliament, the E.U.'s most democratic institution, in hopes of convincing him to allow our proposal to be voted on by EU deputies. I will then travel to all EU nations in order to set up as oad a union as possible. Fellow citizens, France's initiative is a gesture of sovereignty; it is weighty, thorough, and it makes sense. Thorough? I'm sure it is. Makes sense? You'll have to prove it, old man. All historic speeches have been unifying ones. Laugier told Eurosceptics... ...in the Old Continent's history, to outline the good news, an upturn, fresh hope. Damn it! Unbelievable! Crap! Move beyond current treaties? Move beyond means to leave behind. You're burying 60 years of building the E.U. In refusing to compromise on treaties, the Germans forced our hand. I'm a Socialist because I'm European. I'm European because I'm a Socialist. They go together. I want a party vote. Laurent! Divide the party when Francis is asking for nationwide support? I'm dividing? We shall see! Laugier might be led by Rickwaert, but not the activists. Careful, Laurent. Lines have shifted. What's come over you, Amelie? Do you support this madness? What has Rickwaert done to you? You're not really asking, are you? Do you want details? -How are you? -Mirmont's mad. His meeting tomorrow will be an all-out war council. Tomorrow, we'll see the poll results on the President's speech. The CESA just gave us the first panel polling. -How well did we do? -67 for Laugier. It's huge. No cele ating for Mirmont's supporters. Amelie, I have to say... You know your line about how the future starts in the present? It gave me a massive erection. You're such a jerk! And that was hearing the old man's voice! So tonight, can you put on your leopard thong and read the whole thing to me? -Oh great... -Have to go. I've got an emergency. I'll call you back. -Never drive on a flat, sir. -I know. -It looks doable. -Great. Vehicle registration, please. First the paperwork. OK. Nice work! Adama Coulibaly takes control. Go! Left! Left, damn it! The left's wide open! -He's got it! -Center field! -Who scored? -It doesn't matter. All right, then. I get it. Can I come in? Or is it kids-only? That's not the issue. Bruno Rickwaert running against Veronique? Are you totally crazy? In politics, you've got to seize all opportunities. I don't want to hear your ideas on politics. Well, can't I come in? I'd rather not. This is my dad's house. Right! Your father! Tell me, princess, what did he say about me? -About my list? -Can't you guess? Dirty names, eh? You could say so. What a performer he is! You father is something! That's for sure. Hat's off to the artist! What do you mean? Wake up, missie! You father asked me to run to screw over Vero. Remember, if anyone asks... I was home all day, smoking weed and gaming. That's right. Here. Thanks, Chris! Go home. Francis, he just pulled up. I'll call you back. Great. Thanks, Romain. -How are you? -Fine. Yours sincerely, Philippe Rickwaert. Yours sincerely, Philippe Rickwaert. -Hello, Mrs. Bosso. -Hi, Stephan. Auzanet's Surprise Visit to Dunkirk's Mayoral By-Election We must free Dunkirk from Rickwaert's Shackles Auzanet came to stump for his candidate? Read the article. Francis Laugier's plan suggests that France can divorce the E.U. This will destroy the Franco-German union. It eaks treaties. It is irresponsible and dishonest. The capriciousness will spark disappointment and rancor. -Capriciousness? -Capriciousness. -Have you heard that before? -Never. He obviously got it from Mediapart. He's connecting the dots between your divorce and the Dunkirk OHL. Five days from the election! If the article appears before... I negotiated more time with Mediapart to reply to this. A powerful man who divorces. That opens the door to speculation. I didn't leave Nicole for another woman. Worse, to play the field. I've had no personal life for two years. This is a good angle. A nasty angle, but an effective one. Stuck with Europe, he moralizes about your divorce. I'll go to Dunkirk to shut him up. We'll have Amelie campaign with you. They'll do the Republican moralizing. But our party's secretary can stand up to Auzanet. Excuse me, Cyril, I know it's not the moment but... Annie, I need the June workplace accident report. -Yes, sir. -Thanks. The 24th is my parents' golden anniversary in Albi. This is not the moment. Cyril... It's never the moment. Have you seen the ECB's statement? Philippe did great work! Mayhem everywhere! Yes, I saw it. I've put an option on some tickets and need to know now. If you want an answer now, it's no. I need all hands on deck. Francis Laugier's divorce settlement Good day, reporters! Hi, how are you? Madame Secretary, what do you think of Mr. Auzanet's claims about corruption? The man called me a Robespierre in a skirt because I support more stringent laws on political finances. -That's rich, but we're used to it. -What do you plan... No more questions until the press conference. Welcome to Dunkirk. Thanks for coming! How shall we start? Knocking on doors? House parties? Retirement homes? Whatever you want. Just tell me. Use me! I certainly will! Veronique? Is something wrong? Francis Laugier's divorce settlement There's nothing in it. Nothing at all. What is Mrs. Laugier's trip to Brazil? About 20,000 euros. So? What proves it's OHL money? That's totally crazy. It's meant to damage us and take City Hall from us. Auzanet is here for his candidate. No, it's worse than that. This operation aims to destabilize us and to hinder France's EU plan. Otherwise, why would Auzanet come? It's a lost cause. He knew that article would come out. -Legally, there's nothing. -So? You know that's beside the point. He wants to ruin Laugier. Philippe, you can't come with us. OHL is stamped on your forehead! -The two of us will handle this. -She's right. Do we have the UK's Labour Party position? Early in the week. -Mr. Secretary General? -Yes? Thank you. It's a bit problematic. -That's why I'm telling you. -Very problematic! This thing could make Veronique the pain lose. Amelie Dorendeu has come to help. -She's good. I like her. -She's very effective in her job. With the deputy prosecutor on my ass, I hope she is! No one cares in my electoral base, Mediapart, or the media in Paris. -I'm not worried. -Then what? I feel something... The thing is pounding me deep. It's not pleasant. I feel ill-at-ease. Gérard, I've never lost an election. So, you can relax your ass! -Hand me a few tracts. -Here. -Veronique Bosso. -We need your vote! I'm Amelie Dorendeu, Socialist Party. Veronique Bosso on Sunday. I'm Veronique Bosso. Vote Sunday! Hello, ma'am. Veronique Bosso, city government majority. Hi, Blandine! I'm counting on your vote Sunday! Hello, sir. Everyone for Veronique Bosso on Sunday. -Which party? -Socialist. Wipe my ass with that! Ladies and gentlemen, may I have a minute of your time? You've all heard... Thanks! You've all heard Pres. Laugier speak about the E.U. -Who cares! -It's about sovereignty. What matters... Shit, it's Dumont. Don't make trouble, Gilles! Let her talk. -Vero, you chose your camp. -Let her talk, all right? Salomé? Francis Laugier is the only statesman who's said that's enough! Oh wow! He said, That's enough! That's ave! Liberal deregulation... He sucks up to corporate bosses! He does the exact opposite! He refuses EU sanctions. What about that OHL money? It paid for the President's divorce settlement! A slander campaign is underway. It started less than an hour ago. Don't let them manipulate you. They want to tarnish our name. Don't fall for it. -Rickwaert, Laugier, liars, thieves! -This is a democracy. -Rickwaert, Laugier, liars, thieves! -A democracy, guys! -Rickwaert, Laugier, liars, thieves! -Can we talk? Who cares about them? Let's scram! We won't have anything to do with you! -Liars, thieves! -Corrupt politicians! And the harassment begins. -Will you answer? -Me? Say I won't talk! Make him mad! -Salomé? -Hello, sir. This is Alison. Is my daughter there? -She refuses to talk to you. -Really? What's going on? She spoke to your other last night. Bruno? So what happened? Put her on! Sorry, she won't. -Put her on now! -Goodbye, sir. Oh great! Where are you going? Get out! Stupid asshole! -What did you tell my daughter? -The truth. -What? -Stop, you asked me to run! I can go tell her I made it all up just to annoy you. Jackass! I'll do as you say, Philippe. Trouble in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. In the city's by-election, Republicans took Dunkirk from the Left. Veronique Bosso, the Socialist candidate, was expected to win. As Philippe Rickwaert's deputy, being close to the current Labor Minister was no asset, it was a cannon ball. The surprise run by his other, Bruno Rickwaert, split the Socialist vote. Jean-Marc Auzanet seized the chance to explain the loss as disapproval of Pres. Laugier. Mediapart's article did the rest. The election boiled down to one issue: for or against Philippe Rickwaert, the black baron of the OHL, which may have funded the President's divorce settlement. I spoke to Laugier an hour ago. We're going to file a lawsuit. He's put his best lawyer on it. We have winning arguments: a slim victory margin, the article... Don't bother, Philippe. Stop. In the meantime, I'll appoint you regional employment commissioner. That way, you'll still be on your turf. Call it long-term campaigning. I'll start by taking a needed eak! I've lost my city. I don't want to lose my husband! We need to do some mopping up. You know all the files. Dunkirk has become a hub of attention. If the new mayor sues Rickwaert, as he threatened to do, and files for criminal indemnification, an investigative judge will be appointed. Embezzlement from a housing authority will mean years of litigation, won't it? It depends on what's in the case. What's our room for maneuver? Get the case files, influence which judge is assigned. I need time, Martin. Mr. Gérard Noyer, Head of Employment Office. -Unemployment Office Overhaul. -Thank you. Dear Sir, please find below... Cyril, did you speak with Pisani at Nouvel Obs? -Yes, we're pals. -I heard you insulted him. You kidding? He insulted me. He's in cahoots with Mediapart. He never listens. You should have told me. The editor phoned me. I sounded stupid. We'll play good cop/bad cop. It works every time. Which we discussed... What's the matter? What's happened to you? You've changed. What can I do to make up for it? I don't know... Do you need anything? Hold on, now. Weren't you involved with Philippe? -Why do you ask me that? -There used to be rumors. We almost did. But we didn't. -Cool? -Why is that cool? -What would it change? -Nothing. I was just wondering. It might have been a bit awkward. -OK, this is too complicated for me. -No, wait. No, we'll play good cop/bad cop as you suggested. It'll be easier. Hello, I'd like to see the mayor. -Do you have an appointment? -Yes, tell him Mr. Balleroy is here. Yes, Mr. Balleroy for the mayor. Go ahead, he's expecting you. Thank you. Thank you! Excuse me. The OHL file. The judge received a cell phone analysis. -Whose telephone? Rickwaert's? -No. Investigative Report Photographs This young activist recorded his call with Philippe before killing himself. It's there. Transcript of Recorded Audio It's horrific. Who has access to this? When will the press get it? There's the prosecutor, court clerks, lawyers... -When will it leak? -A few hours, a few days. -Tomorrow would be ideal. -Sorry? Leak tomorrow. -You want us to leak it ourselves? -Absolutely. I'm on the 8 o'clock news tonight. Brief the reporters. Have them grill me on Rickwaert. Pin me to the wall. Hound me. OK? Everything Mediapart said is true. It will be Rickwaert's word against mine. The sooner I speak, the better my credibility, while this thing will kill his. No one will believe him. This thing is a nightmare. Mr. Mayor. -Mr. Boudard. -Congratulations. -Thanks. -Hello, sir. -Gérard Balleroy. -François Boudard. Great. I'll see you later. Well, well... You've got dirt to deal on Philippe Rickwaert? Terrible things. The problem is that I'm involved. I'm aware of the market for the culture center. I also helped him eak ballot box seals. I'm listening. I read that article on Rickwaert, the OHL, the President's divorce, the article on the web. I'm not sure I understood it all, but I realized, in fact, Philippe has been protecting President Laugier. If Philippe takes the fall... How much? One million euros. Nevertheless, this afternoon, we heard negative reactions from the Dutch and Finnish heads of government. Yes, I saw that. It's to be expected. They have their positions. And I have mine to defend France's interests. I hope there will be no challenge to this legitimacy. Who is challenging your legitimacy? Nobody directly, but I believe I've read in certain papers that suspicions are being kindled, and my private life may be attacked. Are you referring to your divorce settlement? Yes, indeed. You can imagine what separation entails after 28 years of married life. It's a tragedy. My wife and I eventually came to an agreement. With strict respect for legality, I did indeed give her a certain amount of money. I sold a piano forte that I inherited from my father. This agreement concerned our marital and private life. I'd like to know what I am being blamed for. Are you telling us, Mr. President, that no party funds were misappropriated to finance your divorce? Are you kidding? The Dunkirk OHL is under investigation. Judges are handling that case. Philippe Rickwaert is one of your closest advisors. Yes, and so? This point does indeed come up in the investigation. I trust my nation's justice system. Have you seen him or spoken to him? Have you asked him any questions yourself? People want to know, Mr. President. Understand this, Ms. Pulvar, there are no friendships in politics. There is a clear separation between public life and private life. What else could he have said? Pulvar hounded him. He could have said something else. He had to shake off that leach. I wrote no friendships for him after the inquest to land you in it. Excuse me, that line may be yours, but it's awfully trite. Oh, come on. I can't believe it. Are you naive, Philippe? He can't ditch me. Do you understand, Amelie? Not this time. Why? Do you know something else? His divorce? Did Mediapart print the truth? -Oh shit, you're defending him. -I've put everything behind me. Have to forget all that. Have to forget? What are you saying? Look at how the world really is. It's complex. Mitterrand had a sordid past, but ended capital punishment. -Stop. -De Gaulle liberated France, but he took over with a coup d'état. Do you toss that out? Laugier took OHL funds to divorce, but he's changing Europe. -You're mixing oranges and apples. -We're acting, not judging. We don't need a saint. We need a leader. How did you do it? -What? -The piano. I suppose it's at Francis's cousin's. After 2 years, it ought to be! Who moved it? How did you do it? -Was it you? -What are you after? The piano, the piano appraisers, Laugier's cousin, who cares? What counts is Europe. So drop it! -You moved it? -Yes, I did! Are you happy now? It doesn't matter. -The minister behaves like a thief. -Stop! You paid for his divorce with your city's housing funds? I had no idea what it was. Of course. The prick conned me into thinking it was for his Reims rally. You've told too many lies, Philippe. Too many... Amelie, listen, I didn't know the dough was for his divorce. I didn't know. I didn't know. Get out. It's over, Philippe. You and Laugier went too far. I'll call you back as soon as I can. It's me. Watching the interview. That's the only thing he could say. The journalist pushed him up against the wall. With what we'd been through, there wasn't any other way. But I don't know now. I have a nagging doubt. What if Laugier is a turd? A big turd? I can't seem to shake the thought. It's not terribly reassuring. Deep down, I'm a fragile guy. If I'm not reassured, I might act rashly, Francis. Very rashly. Good night. Got enough room? Orange flags are up. Swimmers, be careful! Well? You ready? The news now. It's 9 o'clock. We lead with this recording. Listen. You're the treasurer. You had access to the accounts, the files, the safe. What if they get a detailed deposition? No importance. Just get rid of any evidence. No leads for the cops. Be thorough, too. Drive them crazy and make them sorry they're cops. I took you in and fed you. You know me and my family. I'm not in it for money. We haven't stolen anything, Joël. We're activists. We're doing this crap to help people. We can look at ourselves in the mirror. I need a wall between me and the OHL. No links! Nothing should point to me. Wait, you're in charge. That's not like being the accountant. It could have been an isolated party. -How do we go about it? -Here's the plan. You hit us the day before the vote. All right? They'll try to tarnish us before Sunday's election. Exactly. It's a dirty political trick. We won't play that game. The search warrant will be for Laugier and me. If the Left loses, we'll fall. If you sacrifice yourself, it'll be minor news. I know you're thinking about the past, Joël. You were strong, had faith and courage, You haven't changed, Joël. They're just cops. We are activists. Rickwaert ordered Joël Domfront to lie to investigators while conducting their search of OHL's Dunkirk offices. Domfront killed himself the following day... -What's this? -Le Figaro posted the recording. I've heard. So what? He killed himself. He recorded Philippe. We know nothing. We must trust him. Is that clear? Joël Domfront, a young union member, worked at the petrochemical plant. The audio may incriminate Labor Minister Rickwaert. He remains unreachable. Turn it off. Who's coming? Top regional leaders, the mayor, and top local employment officials. Cyril invited everyone to be thanked in your inaugural speech. It's there. And the Prefect, too. So many reporters! A statement, please! Drive off. Don't stop. Keep going. Move it! Take off! Where to, sir?
This just came for you. With compliments from Sganarelle Road flat tire Christophe Lavoué -Yes? -I agree with you. There are no friendships in politics. Look at the name at the top of the page: Christophe Lavoué, one of my activists. He helped me the day that I had the flat tire while moving your damned piano. Don't do this, Philippe. It's up to you. You protect me, I'll protect you. Vero, meet my lawyer, Ms. Ziegler. Make it quick. I'm due back at the Ministry. -What do you mean? -What don't you get? Philippe, you're going to be indicted. It doesn't mean I have to quit my job. The judge will visit me at the Ministry. I'll stick to my version. Financing the union? We worked on the audio transcription. I'm unassailable. Explain. Joel warned Philippe the police would search. He told him how he got the funds for the strike with money from the OHL. Philippe was flabbergasted. You're not going to keep lying? Yep. If not, we'll all go to jail. According to French law, lying is a right. The recording contains no real offence. Philippe asked a man to lie. He used his right to defend himself and others. The strike goes on. Workers tire. Yes, it's utish, but legal. Legally, there's nothing! You asked Joel to take the blame. That proves you knew. It proves I aimed to protect the last presidential election. I told him to claim it was for gambling debts, not to finance the strike. It was personal, not political. Veronique, I think the judge will ask to see you. -Did you listen to the recording? -What do you mean? You have the transcription, but did you listen to the audio? Who cares about my voice? This isn't theater. It's a court case in progress. It all fits, Vero. Don't worry. We've both been through worse. In other words here... What dirt do we have on the judge? Is he in politics? He's in a small, independent union. He's a highly respected judge. I need all-around support, in the party, here at Matignon, etc. Now for Kalhenberg. Daniel? Sorry. Ah, Daniel. I'm glad you've come. Did you listen to the recording? You're like a guy who drinks alone in his car before going home. -Ghastly! I suggest... -No. We can't make Philippe resign. -Can't we? -No, we can't. I messed up royally... My divorce... I was at a loss and I accepted financial help from Philippe. -He gave you the money? -Yes. Médiapart got that bit right. 200,000 euros. But I didn't know from where. -That's good. -Why? What were you thinking? Nothing... I... I'll make him resign, but I need some time. You can't. He'll ing us all down with him. I'm the head of this administration. I'm responsible. I'll talk to him. For now, we must reassure him. If he thinks he's safe, he'll never resign. I know him. Any insults and he'll torch everything. Starting with me! You don't want that. -Of course not. -Then, stay focused on Europe! Once the EU Parliament says yes, I'll be on safe ground. -Go away! -Let me see her! -You'll upset her even more. -Let me tell her! -What? -What happened with Joel. -Bad idea. -It's not like people think! Let me see Salome! Mom's right. I don't want to see you. Salome! Give me a few minutes! Listen to me! -Hello, Mr. President. -Hello. Are you feeling better? It's rough. A migraine. I'm still at home. Stay home. Many barons and reporters now know about your affair with Philippe. -So, protect yourself. -Thanks. Have you spoken to him? No, and I'm not up to it. I understand. We must make sure that the party doesn't go up in flames. I rescheduled the national meeting for Friday. That way, we'll avoid all the drama. Fine. Amelie, if you need anything, call me. -Thanks. -Goodbye. Goodbye, Mr. President. Well? Richwaert's resignation? -He didn't even mention it. -That's reckless! I told you the OHL deal and divorce are all true. Laugier is boxed in. To think he fired me because I spoke of moral errors. The Left will decide the post-Laugier era. Or else we'll all be lumped together, sidelined, and berated for 15 years. What if Rickwaert took the fall to cover for him? They've been through worse. your strategy of calling Laugier out on moral grounds, force him to eak with Philippe, and make Philippe tell it all to defend himself. You talk as if he meant nothing to you. I know what I'm doing. Can you guarantee a primary will be held? I'll be setting it up. I can already tell you who will win. Mr. Mirmont. It's Philippe. -Hello? -Fanny, how are things? Fine. Uh, not really. In fact, not at all. I can't reach Cyril. What's he doing? I can't, either. He left after the audio was aired. Where did he go? I need him. Philippe, the journalists are driving me crazy. We'll put out a simple press release. I'm innocent. I needed to talk to my family. My priority is battling for jobs. Write a first draft, OK? -Yes, I'll try. -Things will work out. Hold on! Did you see the double-page spread in Libération? No, why? It reads: Explosive Political Couple. It has a photo of you and Amelie. Gossip magazine material! Who cares? -Don't worry. -All right. Get to work. I got the dirt on Gerard Balleroy. He's a second-rate swindler, but not an inveterate liar. To prove his good faith, he asked to see the judge. All the better, then. But still, a million euros! How much will it take to buy him off? 500,000? 300,000? Fine. You stay firm. You'll negotiate, but you'll pamper him. But at the same time, home in on Laugier and his divorce. -If Rickwaert sinks, Laugier won't... -No, no... Our priority is Laugier. His piano, his cousin, his countless lies... -Laugier is complex. His net worth... -Hey, so what? I can do a Google search, too! The Socialists are fluttering like fleas in front of headlights, while we dither and waddle. Do you smell napalm at dawn? Time for the choppers to take off, Boudard. A press release sent to France Presse announced that Labor Minister Philippe Rickwaert, who has been implicated in the Dunkirk OHL case, has now commented on the recording of his phone call to a union member, Joel Domfront, the day before his suicide. Rickwaert is willing to speak with judges, but has no intention of resigning. Bastard! I read the article. If you deny it, so will I. Thanks, but I don't plan to comment. Yeah, that's the best way. -I need to talk to you. -I'm listening, Philippe. Not out here. -Knock it off. -I love you. I don't want to lose you. You're insane. Insane. I'm sorry. I lied, but I didn't know about the divorce. Francis was upset that he couldn't fund the rally in Reims. Don't tell me. Save it for the cops! Do you want me to go to jail? People are terribly angry. We must force Francis to resign. Otherwise, the FN swoops in. You think that would fix things? Chopping off the king's head? And then what? -Do you want chaos? -You're running on empty, Philippe. You're washed up. You need to admit everything. Don't be scared. You're only in power because of me! Here he comes! Please, sir? Any comment, sir? Roll down the window. What about Joel Domfront? Miscellaneous Bills Moving Expenses Household Inventory Mr. Boudard? We have something that will interest you. That's good. Put it all back. Commitment and Motivation I'm leaving. Do you need anything, sir? -No, thanks. You may leave. -Goodnight. Goodnight. -Yeah? -Yeah, Philippe, big trouble. Balleroy changed lawyers and asked to see the judge. -I'll phone him. -No! He might record you. You go see him. Being a lawyer shields you. Ask him how much. We need a written guarantee that whitewashes us. I can't, Philippe. We're really elsewhere now. Don't worry about the cash. I have my network. Cut a deal! Where will you get all that money? I have my network. National police Well? The UK's Labour Party will vote for the French initiative. Does it make up for Slovenia's and Estonia's refusal? Yes, we expect more good news on the liberal side with a dozen dissidents supporting us. The Irish support us, but want to announce it themselves. -It's done. -Fantastic! Excellent work! I thank you all. -Thank you, Mr. President. -The nation thanks you. Champagne in my office tonight. Thank you. Ah, Daniel! You see, no one in Europe cares about Rickwaert or OHL. -Have a seat. -That's not my case. We may have won the EU battle and will rewrite the treaties. We're making history. I'm Prime Minister. My Labor Minister told a worker, who committed suicide, You must sacrifice yourself. I hope you won't ing up Rickwaert at every meeting. It's tedious. I told you I'll talk to him. -When? -As soon as I can. Before the Council of Ministers? He can't attend it. Yes, he can. Very well. Until then, I'll be on leave. I feel ill. I'll be home, in the Perche. -Daniel, wait! -I'll be back as soon as you can. Jerk. Journalists are impossible! We do their jobs for them, and get the evidence to sink Laugier, and they're still late. The editor said before 9 o'clock. I'll phone. Here it is. How long has Romain Laugier owned Francis Laugier's piano forte: 2 years or 2 weeks? Why doesn't the recent inventory for Romain Laugier's move list the precious collector's item? The Phantom Piano Forte Now that's good journalism! All right. Shall we go? Let's go. -Hello. -Thanks. -Yeah? -Got it. Thanks, Bruno. Keep me advised. As the case presently stands, there is no reason for indictment. Therefore, the Minister will continue to carry out his responsibilities. If you want a different version, call someone else or change jobs. I'll call you later. I said I'll call you back. You're back? You scared me. Hello. The President of the Republic. Ladies and gentlemen, please sit. Prime Minister Daniel Kalhenberg The PM has a slight fever. He feels a bit weak, but it's nothing serious. He's absent today. We shall follow the agenda. I give the floor to the Foreign Affairs Minister. Thanks, Mr. President. Bill to ratify the Minamata Convention on mercury. The Minimata Convention, adopted in January 2013, aims to protect human health and the environment... Pres. Auzanet! Mr. President! Are you asking Philippe Rickwaert to resign? Per Article 68 in the Constitution, I have petitioned the National Assembly to remove the President from office. The charges against Francis Laugier are very serious. Truth and falsehoods intertwine. The Judiciary anch lacks the legal grounds to investigate. The only constitutional means to allow the Judiciary to operate is this request for removal. Nothing on the instrument's real value, nothing on the ex-wife's bank account, nothing on the piano forte's absence in the moving inventory, and yet the Labor Minister still hasn't resigned, despite the dishonor! An inquest might prevent the worst: the people's rejection of democracy. Mercury is unanimously recognized today as highly toxic for humans and the environment. This heavy metal is persistent, toxic, bioaccumulative, and assimilated at great distances. Carry on without me. Philippe. The two main sources of mercury in the environment come from coal-burning plants' emissions. Le Jean-Marc Auzanet sues to have Francis Laugier sacked. What does it change? You straddle a moral line. So you buckle up and you vote for his removal. -With the Right? -Think of the moral line. It's upholding political transgression in the name of morality. You see, that's a rupture. I've checked. If you and Chambolle issue the order, you will win in the Assembly Office. And Auzanet's petition will pass. It's all in your hands, Laurent. OK, let's imagine both houses vote for removal, Laugier is ousted, and we hold a presidential election. -Right. -But who gets elected? Auzanet! -So? -Again? I doubt it will go that badly. But you'll become the uncontested leader of a new Left, firm in its principles. You'll have pushed out the competition. Kalhenberg will have sunk with the Laugier wreck. We'll have 5 years left to prepare for the presidential. Laurent... Five years from now, you'll only be 52. Chambolle will handle the Assembly Office. Can you get us a big hall? 5,000 seats minimum! We must think big. I'll give Laugier a first-class burial. I won't resign! Philippe, as of now, you're no longer a minister. Go tell whomever you want whatever you want, my decision is firm. Do you think I wouldn't rat on you? What about Europe? You'd tear everything down. You want everyone to die with you. Philippe, we'll keep working together but in the shadows. -I promise... -I can't trust you. I'm the President, Philippe. I'm untouchable. Auzanet will never hold the majority. I won't be tried. Come back down to Earth. You need me. I won't abandon you. I lost Dunkirk because of you. Make up for it: help my team. Fine. Bring Veronique down. I'll get her a job here. No, She must be Mayor of Dunkirk. Philippe, you realize how complicated things are. We don't have a majority at the Constitutional Council. You must accomplish everything I ask. There are 4 rock-solid ways to invalidate it. Give them the works. Use those eyes of yours. They're old and fearful. Easily swayed. I can't promise but I'll try. I lodged my complaint before Rickwaert resigned. I can't wait to be summoned. The sooner the better! We all know where the money went and where it came from: from corrupt bosses to Rickwaert. That's what Joel couldn't stand. That's why he committed... What that man did was criminal. I hope he pays for it big-time! Mr. Prime Minister? Any comment on Philippe Rickwaert's resignation? I trust the judicial system to get to the truth. I hope that Mr. Rickwaert, whom I thank for his work in my administration, will reassure us that he wasn't involved in the tragedy. We can release him. Fine, thanks. Goodbye! -Hello, ma'am. -Hello, sir. Cyril Balsan's room, please? -Your name, sir? -Philippe Rickwaert. -I'm sorry, sir. I can't. -Why can't you? I can't give you the number. Sir? Wait here, please! Sir! Can you send me someone? -Where is he? -He needs rest and can't see you. Cut the bullshit. He got scared. I'm here to reassure him. Reassure him of what? You just resigned. I'm still a deputy. We can get to work. Not with Cyril. -Not with me, either. -Really? Why? Isn't it obvious, Philippe? Cyril got burned. You ruined everything, Philippe. I'm going to see him. -No, sir. -Let me by. He's my friend. -Let me through! -No. Back off! Hands off! -Was that Philippe? -No. The recording... Get a voice analysis. The technology can... ... solve it fast. Those bastards had no right to oust him! It was that bitch Dorendeu! -Bitch... -What's happening? I have a pal at Solférino. Apparently, Amelie and Mirmont want a vote on his removal. -Hold on, Cyril. -They want a vote for removal. Philippe and Laugier taught her everything. And now she wants to flush them down the toilet. Wait, you'll see. Wait until Philippe takes the Party from her. Then we'll laugh. We'll laugh. -Hello. -Hello. My client, Mrs. Bosso, received a summons. Mrs. Bosso is here. Yes, I'll tell her. -He'll be right with you. -Thanks. Mrs. Bosso? Follow me. Ma'am, understand one thing, Rickwaert can't get out of this. Public opinion is with us. He's seen as the worst of the worst, the king of scum. No one will mind if we ing him down. -It may take days or weeks. -I know. What do you know? Everything. -The OHL? -Of course. -Veronique! -You're not allowed to intervene. I'd like to continue alone. You may leave, ma'am. So? I helped Philippe clean up OHL before the search. I assumed it was to help Clamex and the unionists. Not a single euro into the strike. And once I saw... Philippe's duplicity, I wanted to eak off. -When? -I'll tell you. You'll see the judge. If it interests him, I want protection because I'm one of Rickwaert's victims. If that's agreeable, but only if it's agreeable, I'll sign. -It will interest him. -I want written guarantees. We'll do our utmost to keep you safe. When he became Minister, I combed through all the hot-button files. I immediately came across the Cultural Center problem, and I spoke to him about it. I told him City Hall should file charges against Gerard Balleroy. He hadn't met a single condition in the tender for bids. Bring Balleroy in for questioning. What did Rickwaert tell you? He blew up and ordered me not to act. He said if I ever mentioned it again, I'd be out of a job and politics. -And you obeyed him. -On the contrary. I sought the support of every City Council member. We all wanted an end to the Rickwaert system. How was I to know he would get Right-wing councilors to overturn the Council and force an election? It was unimaginable! Stay in the car. Guard the files. Once I've negotiated, I'll be back. -All right? -Be careful. See you later, my love. Ah, the right-hand man! Your other is fearless! We don't have much time, Gerard. What authority and determination! -How manly! -Good, Bruno! Write this! It's your deposition. Copy it out. Yes, Lea? -Vero's hearing didn't go well. -Meaning? She blamed you for everything. She made me leave the room at the start. I'm sorry. Fine. Goodbye. What don't you understand? Joel, I'm asking you, what don't you understand? Do you think I'm a thief, that I stole? You think this is about morals? Deal! Sit down! What do you want to know? Well? Huh? I don't blame you for anything. I took you in and fed you. You know me... and my family. I'm not in it for money. No, I'm sorry. Real jail is cool. Watch A Prophet. TweetLikeRickwaert Kill yourself for your own good. TweetLikeRickwaert Dad now I'm so ashamed. Sorry. Sorry? -Yes, sweetie? -Hi, Dad. Are you OK? -Where are you? -In Paris. Dad, come home. Salome, I'm toxic. I sully everything. You mustn't worry about me. Stop that, please! You'll hear bad things about me. Don't let them affect you. Look straight ahead. Live your life, Salome. What do you mean? Don't worry about me. I'll get out of this. Dad, hop in a taxi and get on the first train. Do you see a taxi nearby? Arrest of Mr. Gerard Balleroy Explain the years of influence. Don't bother, it's all there. I'm checking. You're less thorough when you work for me. -Something's missing. -What? The bit letting your other off the hook! Three pages of drivel to save his butt! Ziegler said you have to write out, A one-year jail sentence and a 15,000 euros fine may be imposed for false statements. Then you sign, and we're good. What is this shit? By a wide majority, the Assembly Office rejected the petition for removal as Pres. Laugier has not failed to execute his duties Shit! What a whore that Mirmont is! Wide majority! Only he could sway the vote. The Office will provide full details to parliamentarians tonight. Thank you. It's Laugier. Yes, Mr. President? Hello, Amelie. Can you join me at the Élysée? I'll be right there. Francis and I have reached an agreement. I won't run for a second term. I'll claim it's a health matter. I'll designate Laurent as the obvious candidate. You can be my Prime Minister, if you wish. This whole removal story was madness. It could have sparked civil unrest. It's better if Francis leaves in a dignified manner, rather than a mudslide that would bury us all. Am I to understand everything continues as before? Amelie, if you don't wish to join this agreement, you may leave. I must insist, Amelie. I need you. You think you'd win a presidential in these conditions? The EU Parliament will vote for the resolution. Thanks to Francis, the wheels are in motion for France. We'll retain our sovereignty. French citizens' trust will be restored. Do you no longer see this as a historic error? Things have changed. We'll keep the Euro. I see. Well? What's your name? Bruno Rickwaert. Show me some ID, please. What do you do here? I'm the logistics manager. TN to PA Center. Stay here. PA Center. Go ahead. Please advise on handling an individual. Running the ID check. Stand-by. I've never had a text like that before! Sorry. What were you planning on doing? Hanging yourself? Traveling far away? I don't know. No, but... Don't you think I know what I've done and who I am? Stop, Dad. Stop, please. Are you all right? Yes, I'm all right. Talk to me now, Dad. You're making me flip out. Dad! I'll stay beside you, no matter what! -What did you say? -I said I'll stay beside you. Veronique? I was questioned by the finance squad. I know. You don't. I told them everything. Everything! Bravo. No avos. I crushed him. I turned on him. Philippe taught me everything. So, no avos. No! Why did you do it, then? To take back Dunkirk? If you didn't do it for yourself, then why? Of course I was thinking of Dunkirk. When you tried to get a removal vote, I thought things might truly change thanks to you. I thought the era of big beasts like Philippe and Laugier was over. That's why I did it. You were right to think that. Really? I should have realized that Mirmont is just like them. Their pact is all the more reason to fight. Time to chop off heads, ing in a new generation. To take France, we need 100 combatants ready to die for her. If you're with me, we'll need only 98 more. All right. I'm with you. What's going on? -Speak up! -The Scandinavians... What about the Scandinavians? The Social Democrats will change their vote. -They'll abstain. -And why? Ethical reasons. The effort to remove you from office. There will be no removal. -Of course, Mr. President. -Well, then? Nevertheless, they refuse to be involved in your initiative and cite moral concerns. We need to call them. It's pointless. They just voted to ratify this position. We'll do without the Puritans. What else can I say? We're 37 votes short. We only have 20 majority voices. It's all over, Mr. President. -Hello, Salome. -My father's not in. -I need to talk to him. -He's not home. Thanks. -You can stop running, Philippe. -From what? If you tell the police everything, I can petition the Senate for removal. With your testimony, no parliamentarian can dodge it. Resignation or removal, Laugier will be ousted. Yeah, and I'll be in the slammer. Otherwise, what? You lie? Against Veronique? Balleroy? Joel? It will last 10 years at the least. 10 more years of lying? -10 more years clinging to your seat? -Stop! Tell me about you. About me? Yeah. What's your plan? A looming presidential election means rebuilding. We'll wind up with the Right in power for 20 years. Or the FN could scoop the pool. There won't even be any elections. I'll ask you again, Amelie. What's your plan? The Party will play a key role in rebuilding the Left. Fab! I prefer 10 years of lying to being in jail. Sorry, I've nothing better. -You have to do it. -What do you mean? The presidential race. You must run. What are you saying? Don't make the mistake I made. My early political career was spent looking for the right horse. The rest has been spent being disappointed. Compared to Laugier, Mirmont and Kalhenberg are midgets. Don't hide your talents, Amelie. This election drives people crazy. Becoming king is all they want. No matter how or why. Forget about it! That sounded good! -It has impact. -What do you mean? First promise: a new Republic. What's the matter? You scared? Tell me everything and I'll run. City of Lille Detention Center Rickwaert? Visitation Room! At about 11 AM today, Senate President Etienne Faloux will officially step in as France's interim President, following the resignation of Francis Laugier, thus providing the time needed to set up a presidential election. Since Laugier announced his decision to defend his honor and take up his own defense in serenity, presidential candidate Amelie Dorendeu has soared in opinion polls. The public seems to approve of her courage to eak with her mentor. She presented testimony from Philippe Rickwaert in submitting her petition for removal to the Senate Office, following the failure of Jean-Marc Auzanet's petition to the National Assembly. -How are you? -Perfect. Sure? Reading The Brothers Karamazov in 3 days cleared my mind. All the better. What the hell do you want? I talked to your judge. Oh yeah? He plans to amend the charges. Go on, spit it out. I didn't ask to see your face. If we stick to embezzlement of public funds, you'll be out in a month, as he well knows. That would make him feel like he'd worked for nothing. He's conscientious. He wants to make a point. Incitation to suicide gets you 3 years. Zero guarantee for the VIP sector. No longer a crooked politician, you're a murderer. Don't elaborate. I get it. Auzanet is willing to help me, but I have to pay, eh? As in any deal. Go take it deep up the ass! Sodomy? You always go overboard, Philippe. Nobody's dropping their pants. It's just backscratching. Dictate Dorendeu's campaign, and you're clear. But we're informed first: strategy, speeches, proposals. I know you. After that, you'll want to write the speeches yourself, to make her sound second-rate. You foul everything, Boudard, your whole life long! Three years behind bars will wreck you! -How are things? -Excellent. -You were great on RTL this morning. -Yeah? -Except the ending. -What about it? Forget the environmentalism, socialism, and the rest. Your forte isn't being a Leftist. Thousands of Leftists want to be President. So, what is my forte? You're gorgeous. You killed Don Corleone. That's your forte. People admire you for it. No one expects you to save jobs or to save the planet. But you'll never be a bank's or a party's hostage. People want someone they can identify with. So they can say, I want to be like her. Free. You'll be free soon, too. -Why do you say that? -Because I want to see you. -Don't you? -Of course I do! Anything wrong? Are you all right? Of course, I'll be fine. You sure there's nothing else? Sure... We'll talk tomorrow. Sure. Tomorrow...
All right, let's dive into the suggestion box. The mound of own is too moundy. The mound of own is too ownie. If you wax the canoes, they'd glide through the water better. Hey, that's actually a good suggestion. Also, the food here is trash. Okay. Complaining about the food won't make it any better. I'm only one woman, not the glorious, godly genius that is Guy Fieri. I think the food here is pretty good. Thank you, Bill. It's right up there with my favorite trail meal, beans cooked in an old cowboy boot. You really didn't need to elaborate. Hello. Are you Lou Hockhauser? If so, I'm Sam. Your 9:15. Nice to meet you, Sam. Okay. Firm. This is Parker, our activities director, and Bill, one of our campers. - Hi there. - Pleased to meet you. Sam is our newest camper and is also a real life genius. Charity has her PhD and is the youngest bio tech engineer working in the field to date. That must have been hard. Actually, the hardest part was finding Harvard graduation robes in kid's sizes. I had to borrow mine from a tiny judge. I'd love it if you guys would show Sam around camp for me. Yeah, totally. We can handle that. Absolutely. So, Sam, what made you decide to come to Kikiwaka Ranch? Well, I live in Minneapolis, but I'm Yaqui, and our tribe's homeland encompasses the Southwest. So I thought it'd be cool to go to camp somewhere around there. But you heard about Kikiwaka Ranch and just couldn't stay away from Wyoming? Oh, no. All my first camp choices in the Southwest are full. You guys are my safety, safety, safety camp. Cool, cool. Kikiwaka, Kikiwaka Kikiwaka, Kikiwaka Kikiwaka, Kikiwaka BUNKD Season 06 Episode 07 Episode A Recipe for Disaster Aired on: July 22, 2022. Destiny, you can't take a nap now. What are we doing next? Nothing. Nothing is next. We just ziplined and canoed and ziplined into a canoe. Any chance, next, we could zipline into a good book? I know what somebody needs. - Sumo wrestling. - A eak. Okay. I'll go grab the suits. Whoa. Where's the fire? There's a fire? Where's the fire? I love fire. It's just an expression. There's no fire. Not yet. You okay? No. Winnie has more energy than a hurricane fighting a tornado, drinking a latte, apparently in a sumo suit. Just give her something she can do alone. For instance, I just give Jake a tennis ball in a bowl of water, and he entertains himself for days. It's fascinating to watch. I don't think that'll work with Winnie. Then how about music? We could get her an instrument like a trombone. That's a great idea. I mean, not the trombone part. Obviously. Hey. Maybe we could get her a guitar. I used to love listening to Ava play hers. I can see if they have one at the music store. I'm going into town tomorrow. Destiny. Meet me on the Great Lawn. I laid down some hot coals to make it more interesting. Or I could go today. Yes, please. Down that way is the city of Dusty Tush. This trail leads to lake Tush, and that way you can hike up to Mount... Let me guess. Tush? No. Mount Derriere. They decided to get fancy with that one. So Sam, what made you decide to come to camp in the first place? Well, I figured since I have a full time job, work with adults, hang out with adults, help adults with their taxes... Okay, if your life was any more adult, I need a permission slip to hear about it. Exactly. So it took some vacation time to come here and try making new friends closer to my own age. To that end, I've made a list of the most common activities for forming amicable social bonds. I don't understand what you're saying, but let's make you some friends, girl. Making friends wasn't easy for me when I got here, but I figured it out and I'd love to help you do the same. Yes! What should we do first? Depends. What do you like to do for fun? Oh, you know, peer review my colleague's journals, updating my PC software, the ushe. And I can see from your faces that's not the ushe. Uh, it says here you want to play more games. How about something with a ball? Perfect. You guys are really internalizing my mission statement. Thank you? Suite seven herbs and spices. Something smells good. Wait, am I at the right camp? Guy Fieri, Is that you? What smells so good? My mom sent me my favorite dish. It's called the Jacobs family surprise. Well, it looks delicious. Want some? It's a recipe that's been passed down through my family for generations. Mmm. This is amazing. I almost forgot food could have taste and not just relentless, unforgiving texture. Hey, can we make more of this for, like, the whole camp? Absolutely. I can't wait to make it. So how do we make it? You don't know? No. It's a secret family recipe. You're not trusted with the ingredients until you're an adult. But when I was a little kid, I did watch my mom make it a bunch of times. Hmm. Well, then, looks like we're going to figure out this recipe on our own. Time to put our thinking caps on. And cover this up. I'm having such a great hair day. Okay. I'm gonna have to figure this out on my own. You... can be there. Sam, have you ever played tether ball? No, but I did do a great presentation on fun at my company picnic. Okay, so I see we're starting at ground zero. All you do is hit it back and forth. You start. Great. First, I'll match the wind velocity, then calculate the centrifugal force of the ball. You know what? We'll start. - Take that, Preston. - In your face, Pickett. - You're going down. - Not if you go down first. Gentlemen, please. Don't let this weird game come between you. Oh, we don't mean it. It's just a fun way to talk to your friends while you're playing a game. Oh, yes, that's my list, too. Right here. Gentle ribbing. Then, give me your best shot. How's this? I am Parker and my smile is so ight, it kind of hurts to look at it. Ha! Take that. I will take that That was quite nice. Too nice. You need to tease him more. Okay. Then how about this? I'm Parker, my ight smile's covering up the existential fear that my life will be a series of ever escalating failures. Is that better? Ouch. It's a bit of an over correction. You'd fit right into my family reunions. That is not a guitar. It's not? Boom! Gotcha. Acting. What happened? So, there was his mom hanging out at the music store, and she offered me this set of drums for free. And I said, I don't know. And then she said, she'll give me $50 to take them. And I said, Okay, I guess. Then she said, No, take backs, and ran out the store. Great deal, right? Whoa! Why are there drums in the cabin? There are drums in the cabin? What! Stop it. We got one for you. You did? Why? Um, because... I am such a great counselor and... You know what? Let's just skip to the part where you thank us and I feel like a hero. Thanks, guys. This is so nice. Oh, wow, that is loud. Oh, well, see you at dinner. Okay. This is basically every ingredient that could possibly be in Jacob's family surprise. Will you please stop doing that? Sorry. No one taught me this game. I could do this for days. Okay. I'm getting hints of garlic. And notes of chili powder. And, uh-oh. What's this? Peppermint? Huh? Oh, probably should have spit my gum out first. Okay, tell me what you think it tastes like. It tastes like... home. Okay. That is adorable, but extremely unhelpful. I know this recipe has to be in my ain somewhere. Yes, we just need to pull it out. Uh, Lou. My ains in here. Bless her heart. I'm going to hypnotize you to pull the recipe from your memory. Cool. Where'd you learn hypnosis? I took an online course. It was a package deal. I'm also qualified to officiate weddings and communicate with some dogs. All right. I'm going to be using this triangle dinner bell. Since I don't have a pocket watch. I'm not an old timey train conductor. Good luck. My mind is an impenetrable fortress. You are getting very sleepy. Well, that was easy. Okay, Jake, listen to my voice and follow my commands. Go back to a time when you were younger and watched your mom make Jacob's family surprise. Now open your eyes and tell me what you see. Kiki had a nice nap. Time for yum yums. Yum yums. Jake, how old are you? This many? Uh-oh. I took you too far back. Uh. What's going on? Are you okay? Jakey's gonna make a boom boom. Okay. We don't make boom booms where we make yum yums. Let's go. Jakey's not gonna make it. You better make it, Jakey. You. Is this about the drums? Yes, it's about the drums. You basically gave my camper a headache machine. What if she starts a band one day and thanks you in her Grammy speech in a category I was cele ity presenter for because I finally beat out Robert Pattinson for my first Oscar? Sorry. Favorite fantasy of mine. Maybe you're right. She should join a band. Hmm. She agreed with me but the ominous tone was a strange choice. Oh. Now I get it. Winnie, can we see you for a moment? The drums are in here now. Well, Noah is dying for a jam session with you. Cool. But why can't he just ing his trombone to our cabin? That's not happening. I mean, uh, the acoustics are better in here. Ooh. That is nice. I know right. That's why I picked this cabin. Oh, and I almost forgot the best part. I saw this in the kitchen and thought nothing completes a jam session like the shrill clanging of a dinner triangle. Just something a beloved grandmother of mine used to say. If you say so. Have fun. Oh, we will. So are we gonna jam or what? Is or what still on the table? Well, we can remove swimming with my peers from the list. Did you know your lake water is crawling with microbes? It's not so bad. If you don't mind being your own night light. Okay, what's next on the list? Pranking. But that's probably too advanced for me. I was pretty trash at trash talk. No way! I'm known for my pranks on cattle drives. Pranking at camp can be a good ice eaker for making friends. Oh, and I have a great idea for the perfect camp-friendly prank. S'more? Thanks. Wait, no, don't. Instead of marshmallow, it's filled with mashed potato. Nice. I usually use lard for this one. But that won't taste very good. Oh, I get it! Tomfoolery. Great. An unsuspecting prankee. Go get him, Tiger! Hello, My name's Sam. So, what do you think about packing the Supreme Court? What? Anyway, I have this extra s'more. Would you like it? Sure. No! Well, this was weird. Why didn't you finish the prank? I lost my nerve. Maybe need to practice in a controlled environment. Parker, do you mind if I use you as my test subject? Sure, prank away. But remember, you can't tell me when it's coming. Got it. So definitely don't be here at 2:30, Mountain Standard time. I guess there are different kinds of smart. Okay. Time to help Auntie Lou, so we can have the yum yums ready for dinner. Purple. Yeah. Good job. Now, you remember the first thing that goes in the pot? Rabbit sticks. Rabbit sticks. Oh, you mean carrots? How many carrots. This many. Well, that is an absurd amount. Oh, play time. All right. We're done here. Wait. Where's the triangle? I know I laid it right here. Jackey got ouchie! Oh, no, no, no. Look at Auntie Lou. Yay! Whoo. Weird. That worked when you were 12. What are you doing? You can't put those back in here. Oh, what? Where am I? Destiny, I must have been sleep drum moving again. It's a real condition. Don't look it up. Noah. Fine, I can't take it anymore. Maybe it's time we just take them back to the music store. No, we can't. Winnie loves these drums. She'll never forgive us. Unless we're not the culprits. But we have to do something. I'm starting to feel my heartbeat in my eyeballs. Hey, Sam. Cool chair. It's a gift to you for helping me. A rocking chair is a great way to relax while nothing unexpected happens to you. This must be her new prank. There's probably a whoopee cushion under the pad. Act surprised. Wow, this looks comfortable. Too bad I have gas. Ew. TMI. No, I thought that... Never mind. Lemonade? Oh, lemonade. I hope this doesn't taste salty. Good grief. That's delicious. Is that rosemary? I'm glad you approve. Maybe it's not a prank. Can it be she actually appreciates you? Hey, don't say like that. Balloons. Wow, She really does appreciate me. Sam? What's happening? You just got pranked! Wait till the gals in the book club hear about this. This isn't a prank, this is dangerous! Whoa! It's fine. I ran a bunch of simulations and he'll land safely. I accounted for everything. Wind speed, air density, rate of ascent. There are no unfactored variables. Really? Because that looks like a flying-V of unfactored variables. Parker, are you okay? Totally. Good prank. I think I just kissed a goose. I'm sorry, guys. I messed up again. It's okay, Sam. We can keep trying. No! I almost seriously injured Parker. It was stupid of me to come here. I think I missed my window to be a kid. I'm never gonna learn how to make friends. You kissed a goose? Okay, technically, she kissed me. Oh, no! What happened to the drums? What did happen to the drums? Acting is harder than it looks, isn't it? Oh! Would you look at that? There's tufts of weasel fur and visible claw marks. Just like a real weasel would leave behind. Oh, no! Why would they destroy something so beautiful. Seriously, girl. Just come to one of my weekend workshops. I know exactly what happened. You do? It's all my fault. I left the bathroom window open. That must be how the weasels got in. I'm the reason your amazing gift got destroyed. It's okay. I feel terrible. Yeah, and it's all thanks to those insensitive weasels. I'm sure if the weasels were here now, they'll tell you how sorry they were. It's us, we're the weasels. I got that. Okay. You just need to wear this kid leash until I can find that triangle dinner bell and change you back. I know it's weird, but someone didn't want to be swaddled. So here we are. Jakey go bye-byes. Okay, this is happening. Ooh, Jakey wanna play. No, Jakey, no! Can't you all see, I am walking a giant toddler here. Shiny. Bad, Jakey! You can't play with axes until you're out of a night-time diaper. No pointy sticks. Really, Tyson, do we think this is a good use of our time? I want it. I want it! I'm gonna hold my eath until I get it. And this is why we no longer have an eight and under program. Ooh, drums. Rectangle. Yes! Give me that. Whoa, Lou. I had the craziest dream. Jake, is that you? How old are you? This many. Good enough for me? Wow. It's like I now have every memory from when I was four. Will you remember everything? Even the recipe? Yeah, I remember that, too. Let's go. Seriously, Lou. Are you this kind of parent? Hey, Sam, you okay? What are you reading? The canine genome. I'm trying to figure out what part makes them man's best friend. Come on, dogs! What do you know that I don't? Sam, the scientific method won't help you make friends. Trust me. I failed science a lot. And my prom king speech was about rising above that. Don't worry. You're smart and nice and super fun. You're going to make friends. We promise. How do you know? Because you've already made two of them. I did? Yeah, us. Wow. Thanks, guys. That really means a lot. Oh, and Bill, your shoe's untied. Really? But I'm wearing cowboy boots. Gotcha. Perfect execution of a classic. I've never been prouder. The ringing in my ears is gone, but it's been replaced by a huge knot in my stomach. Me too. My guilt is tearing up my insides more than yesterday's muskrat gumbo. Okay, I just want you all to know that I plan on making this up to you. I'll do extra chores for a month and ing you eakfast in bed. You don't have to do that. Hey, hey, hey. What kind of eakfast we talking here? All right, That's enough. I have a confession. We destroyed the drum set. Then why did you get it for me in the first place? To give you something to do by yourself? Because, honestly, sometimes counseling can be really tiring and every once in a while, I need a eak. You could've just told me that. I know. We messed up, and we'll definitely buy you a new drum set. An even bigger drum set. Or the same size drum set. Well, since we're confessing, I don't really like the drums. You don't? No. Drums have all the noise and explosion without any the destruction I've come to enjoy. Hmm. Maybe you're more of a bagpipes girl. You shut your mouth. I guess we all should have been honest from the very beginning. I do love music, though. I already play guitar. Just didn't ing mine to camp, but I miss it. Destiny! You wanted to get her a guitar in the first place. Isn't that funny? Okay, we're not there yet. That's fine. I don't want to oversell what you all are about to eat, but prepare for the greatest meal of your lives. Oh, man. Food that looks and smells like food. It's dinner time, y'all. Parker, no! Pot too heavy for Jakey. Defrosted mound of own it is. There goes dinner. I was really hungry too. Would you like to maybe go outside and make s'mores? No mashed potatoes this time, I promise. Nah! Put him in. Then we have our dinner and dessert at the same time. I like you. Someday you'll be on the management track. Thanks, and you can be my VP of mayhem. Look at those two new friends. We did a good job today. Sure did. Almost makes it worth it that I can still taste goose. Everyone grab a spoon and get down here.

You'd fit right into my family reunions. That is not a guitar. It's not? Boom! Gotcha. Acting. What happened? So, there was his mom hanging out at the music store, and she offered me this set of drums for free. And I said, I don't know. And then she said, she'll give me $50 to take them. And I said, Okay, I guess. Then she said, No, take backs, and ran out the store. Great deal, right? Whoa! Why are there drums in the cabin? There are drums in the cabin? EXCLAIMING What! Stop it. We got one for you. You did? Why? Um, because... I am such a great counselor and... You know what? Let's just skip to the part where you thank us and I feel like a hero. Thanks, guys. This is so nice. Oh, wow, that is loud. Oh, well, see you at dinner. COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING Okay. This is basically every ingredient that could possibly be in Jacob's family surprise. Will you please stop doing that? Sorry. No one taught me this game. I could do this for days. Okay. I'm getting hints of garlic. And notes of chili powder. And, uh-oh. What's this? Peppermint? Huh? Oh, probably should have spit my gum out first. Okay, tell me what you think it tastes like. It tastes like... home. Okay. That is adorable, but extremely unhelpful. I know this recipe has to be in my ain somewhere. Yes, we just need to pull it out. Uh, Lou. My ains in here. Bless her heart. I'm going to hypnotize you to pull the recipe from your memory. Cool. Where'd you learn hypnosis? I took an online course. It was a package deal. I'm also qualified to officiate weddings and communicate with some dogs. All right. I'm going to be using this triangle dinner bell. Since I don't have a pocket watch. I'm not an old timey train conductor. Good luck. My mind is an impenetrable fortress. You are getting very sleepy. SNORES Well, that was easy. Okay, Jake, listen to my voice and follow my commands. Go back to a time when you were younger and watched your mom make Jacob's family surprise. Now open your eyes and tell me what you see. Kiki had a nice nap. Time for yum yums. Yum yums. Jake, how old are you? This many? Uh-oh. I took you too far back. Uh. What's going on? Are you okay? Jakey's gonna make a boom boom. Okay. We don't make boom booms where we make yum yums. Let's go. Jakey's not gonna make it. You better make it, Jakey. You. Is this about the drums? Yes, it's about the drums. You basically gave my camper a headache machine. What if she starts a band one day and thanks you in her Grammy speech in a category I was cele ity presenter for because I finally beat out Robert Pattinson for my first Oscar? Sorry. Favorite fantasy of mine. Maybe you're right. She should join a band. Hmm. She agreed with me but the ominous tone was a strange choice. Oh. Now I get it. Winnie, can we see you for a moment? The drums are in here now. Well, Noah is dying for a jam session with you. Cool. But why can't he just ing his trombone to our cabin? That's not happening. I mean, uh, the acoustics are better in here. VOCALIZING Ooh. That is nice. I know right. That's why I picked this cabin. Oh, and I almost forgot the best part. I saw this in the kitchen and thought nothing completes a jam session like the shrill clanging of a dinner triangle. Just something a beloved grandmother of mine used to say. If you say so. CLANGING Have fun. Oh, we will. So are we gonna jam or what? Is or what still on the table? Well, we can remove swimming with my peers from the list. Did you know your lake water is crawling with microbes? It's not so bad. If you don't mind being your own night light. Okay, what's next on the list? Pranking. But that's probably too advanced for me. I was pretty trash at trash talk. No way! I'm known for my pranks on cattle drives. Pranking at camp can be a good ice eaker for making friends. Oh, and I have a great idea for the perfect camp-friendly prank. S'more? Thanks. Wait, no, don't. Instead of marshmallow, it's filled with mashed potato. Nice. I usually use lard for this one. But that won't taste very good. Oh, I get it! Tomfoolery. Great. An unsuspecting prankee. Go get him, Tiger! Hello, My name's Sam. So, what do you think about packing the Supreme Court? What? Anyway, I have this extra s'more. Would you like it? Sure. GASPS No! Well, this was weird. Why didn't you finish the prank? I lost my nerve. Maybe need to practice in a controlled environment. Parker, do you mind if I use you as my test subject? Sure, prank away. But remember, you can't tell me when it's coming. Got it. So definitely don't be here at 2:30, Mountain Standard time. I guess there are different kinds of smart. Okay. Time to help Auntie Lou, so we can have the yum yums ready for dinner. Purple. Yeah. Good job. Now, you remember the first thing that goes in the pot? Rabbit sticks. Rabbit sticks. Oh, you mean carrots? How many carrots. This many. Well, that is an absurd amount. Oh, play time. All right. We're done here. Wait. Where's the triangle? I know I laid it right here. Jackey got ouchie! CRYING HYSTERICALLY Oh, no, no, no. Look at Auntie Lou. Yay! Whoo. CRYING HYSTERICALLY Weird. That worked when you were 12. What are you doing? You can't put those back in here. Oh, what? Where am I? Destiny, I must have been sleep drum moving again. It's a real condition. Don't look it up. Noah. SIGHS Fine, I can't take it anymore. Maybe it's time we just take them back to the music store. No, we can't. Winnie loves these drums. She'll never forgive us. Unless we're not the culprits. But we have to do something. I'm starting to feel my heartbeat in my eyeballs. Hey, Sam. Cool chair. It's a gift to you for helping me. A rocking chair is a great way to relax while nothing unexpected happens to you. This must be her new prank. There's probably a whoopee cushion under the pad. Act surprised. Wow, this looks comfortable. Too bad I have gas. Ew. TMI. No, I thought that... Never mind. Lemonade? Oh, lemonade. I hope this doesn't taste salty. Good grief. That's delicious. Is that rosemary? I'm glad you approve. Maybe it's not a prank. Can it be she actually appreciates you? Hey, don't say like that. Balloons. Wow, She really does appreciate me. Sam? What's happening? You just got pranked! Wait till the gals in the book club hear about this. This isn't a prank, this is dangerous! Whoa! It's fine. I ran a bunch of simulations and he'll land safely. I accounted for everything. Wind speed, air density, rate of ascent. There are no unfactored variables. Really? Because that looks like a flying-V of unfactored variables. BALLOONS POPPING SCREAMSTHUDS Parker, are you okay? Totally. Good prank. I think I just kissed a goose. I'm sorry, guys. I messed up again. It's okay, Sam. We can keep trying. No! I almost seriously injured Parker. It was stupid of me to come here. I think I missed my window to be a kid. I'm never gonna learn how to make friends. You kissed a goose? Okay, technically, she kissed me. Oh, no! What happened to the drums? What did happen to the drums? Acting is harder than it looks, isn't it? Oh! Would you look at that? There's tufts of weasel fur and visible claw marks. Just like a real weasel would leave behind. Oh, no! Why would they destroy something so beautiful. Seriously, girl. Just come to one of my weekend workshops. I know exactly what happened. You do? It's all my fault. I left the bathroom window open. That must be how the weasels got in. I'm the reason your amazing gift got destroyed. It's okay. I feel terrible. Yeah, and it's all thanks to those insensitive weasels. I'm sure if the weasels were here now, they'll tell you how sorry they were. It's us, we're the weasels. I got that. Okay. You just need to wear this kid leash until I can find that triangle dinner bell and change you back. I know it's weird, but someone didn't want to be swaddled. So here we are. Jakey go bye-byes. Okay, this is happening. Ooh, Jakey wanna play. No, Jakey, no! Can't you all see, I am walking a giant toddler here. BANGING Shiny. Bad, Jakey! You can't play with axes until you're out of a night-time diaper. No pointy sticks. Really, Tyson, do we think this is a good use of our time? I want it. I want it! I'm gonna hold my eath until I get it. And this is why we no longer have an eight and under program. Ooh, drums. Rectangle. GASPS Yes! Give me that. CLANGS Whoa, Lou. I had the craziest dream. Jake, is that you? How old are you? This many. Good enough for me? Wow. It's like I now have every memory from when I was four. Will you remember everything? Even the recipe? Yeah, I remember that, too. Let's go. Seriously, Lou. Are you this kind of parent? Hey, Sam, you okay? What are you reading? The canine genome. I'm trying to figure out what part makes them man's best friend. Come on, dogs! What do you know that I don't? Sam, the scientific method won't help you make friends. Trust me. I failed science a lot. And my prom king speech was about rising above that. Don't worry. You're smart and nice and super fun. You're going to make friends. We promise. How do you know? Because you've already made two of them. I did? Yeah, us. Wow. Thanks, guys. That really means a lot. Oh, and Bill, your shoe's untied. Really? But I'm wearing cowboy boots. Gotcha. Perfect execution of a classic. I've never been prouder. The ringing in my ears is gone, but it's been replaced by a huge knot in my stomach. Me too. My guilt is tearing up my insides more than yesterday's muskrat gumbo. Okay, I just want you all to know that I plan on making this up to you. I'll do extra chores for a month and ing you eakfast in bed. You don't have to do that. Hey, hey, hey. What kind of eakfast we talking here? All right, That's enough. I have a confession. We destroyed the drum set. Then why did you get it for me in the first place? To give you something to do by yourself? Because, honestly, sometimes counseling can be really tiring and every once in a while, I need a eak. You could've just told me that. I know. We messed up, and we'll definitely buy you a new drum set. An even bigger drum set. Or the same size drum set. Well, since we're confessing, I don't really like the drums. You don't? No. Drums have all the noise and explosion without any the destruction I've come to enjoy. Hmm. Maybe you're more of a bagpipes girl. You shut your mouth. I guess we all should have been honest from the very beginning. I do love music, though. I already play guitar. Just didn't ing mine to camp, but I miss it. Destiny! You wanted to get her a guitar in the first place. Isn't that funny? CHUCKLING Okay, we're not there yet. That's fine. I don't want to oversell what you all are about to eat, but prepare for the greatest meal of your lives. Oh, man. Food that looks and smells like food. It's dinner time, y'all. Parker, no! BELL DINGING Pot too heavy for Jakey. GROANS CRYING HYSTERICALLY Defrosted mound of own it is. There goes dinner. I was really hungry too. Would you like to maybe go outside and make s'mores? No mashed potatoes this time, I promise. SCOFFS Nah! Put him in. Then we have our dinner and dessert at the same time. I like you. Someday you'll be on the management track. Thanks, and you can be my VP of mayhem. Look at those two new friends. We did a good job today. Sure did. Almost makes it worth it that I can still taste goose. Everyone grab a spoon and get down here. THEME MUSIC PLAYING
Director Mohongjin mom I told you to not wait. Ta-da! It's not as good as pizza. But it's your favorite, sticky rice cake. It resembles you. No it doesn't. Is it tasty? This cosmos flower is way bigger than the one we saw yesterday. But mom, don't ing me more. They must feel pain, too. Let's go Ta-da! Speaking practice time You have to do it even if you don't want to. You have to be able to converse with people who don't know sign language. It's too hard and embarrassing. You still have to do it. Dad isn't around anymore. When I'm not around, what will you do? You would be so sad if I had to take a eak from school. Right? Let's do it. Let's practice again. Hello Hello You should continue the conversation and respond with It's nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you. What is your name? Kwon Kyung sook Mom, you are doing so well. Dad's hospital bills all the loans. We paid it all back. And now I'm healthy, too. Can't you quit your part-time job? I wish you could just focus on your studies. I don't work for the money. It's fun! I'm fine. Mom, drink this often. You really should, alright? Did I not ew it right? Mom Mom Are you alright? Did you kiss? Did you? Wow Hey, Did Yunyoung pass her government employee test? No, she failed Korean history just by a few points. Wow. Then, she'll definitely pass next time, right? You bet! But can you take the government employee test Without graduating high school? How many times do I have to tell you The test doesn't have degree requirements? Our cutie doesn't remember anything other than food, right? Eat up. Now that you say it, I remembered. What is it? I came prepared. Oh, you have good sense. She's coming. Hide it. I told you guys not to eat outside food here. The smell is distracting to the other customers. Sis, This is food. And this is food, too. You can't discriminate. If my boss finds out, I'll get in trouble. Sis, The boss here is really nice Everyone knows that Right. Sis, sit down for a second. Your mom, she really doesn't know you're not back at school? So you're not going to enroll again? Why would she? It's unnecessary. Yunyoung is so smart she can just take the GED. Right That's true. Alright. This is our present. Next time, you will certainly pass and become a government employee. Eat slowly and make sure to chew. - You can do it! - Fighting! Yunyoung, do you want YEOT for good luck? Mom! Did you get really hurt? No, it's just a little bit. But you still got hurt. I'm sorry, I'll be careful Promise to be careful. Please watch out for my mom. And please let me know if anything happens. Okay. The hospital said that she's okay So don't worry too much. Alright. Thank you. Let's go. Kyungsook Easy does it. My pretty mom, I'll be a little late, So don't wait for me our side. Stay home! Yunyoung looks like her mother. Younyoung keeps getting prettier Because she resembles you, She looks like her dad that's where her good looks come from I don't know what you're saying But now that she's no longer a minor before she graduates, marry her to me. There aren't men like me around I will make her happy every night. Don't joke around about my daughter! I guess she understood that part. Yunyoung Hello, sir. Can I get one iced coffee? Of course. You're so kind to my mom, so this one is on the house. But what are you doing here at this hour? I went to the glasses store, and stopped by on the way home I see, let me go get your drink. You can take your time. Yunyoung Yunyoung Yunyoung Your mother must be worried. Yunyoung You're smart So, you should know better. If you report me, I will kill your mother. Oh wait, It's been awhile since that crippled father of yours died. Maybe I should make her feel like a woman before I kill her. Like I did to you. Yunyoung… Yunyoung I suddenly miss kyungsook. Yunyoung Yunyoung You should eat a little The body is too badly damaged to call this a voluntary manslaughter. You could've hit him without killing him. Look, don't take me wrong. I'm not saying you did it. Let's say the two of you had some sort of an agreement. Whether it was about money, or taking care of your mom. If he was still alive we could do cross interrogation or use a lie detector test to find out the truth There's no case where murder is accepted as an act of self-defense. An act of retaliation cannot fall under self-defense. And if we want the self-defense ruling, We would have to prove the sexual assault. The two of you knew each other, And kept in contact often because of your mother. So the evidence from the scene isn't enough. Plus, the perpetrator is dead. The legal matters are very complicated. I don't care as long as my mother isn't hurt. Your mother may suffer even more When you get sentenced. Even if you appeal, you have to go to jail before and during trial. And you don't have student identification. Your birthday has passed, too, So most likely, you won't be tried as a juvenile, you will have to go to prison. Why don't we go public and get help from women's rights organizations or social organizations? I'm scared of the attention. I don't want to do that. Mom look at me. Mom I have a favor to ask of you. Please do it for me. Mom, don't do anything for me. Even if someone says they will help us, don't accept it. I'm already exhausted by people around me and at school watching me. I don't want the world to look at us with pity. I wouldn't be able to stand that. I... I killed a man. It wasn't your fault! Some people will point at me and call me a murderer. Mom, I don't think I'll be able to stand it. I will announce the verdict. Case number 2017 Hight Court Agreement 174. Defendant Jung Yunyoung. We need the words of the perpetrator of the sexual assault committed against the defendant. But due to the death of Kim Chulmin The case leads to lack of evidence. This attack and retaliation cannot be looked at as an act of self-defense. However, there are other factors to take into account, and thus, The defendant Jung Yunyoung is Sentenced to five years. She's got 5 Mom No Time to report. She looks pretty. Tell me your name, crime and sentence. My... Name is… We'll hear from the new girl later. She looks like she's going to faint. But shouldn't she still report? Put down your things and rest. Hey! I told you not to touch!! Hey, don't. I said, don't this bitch! Starting up again! Don't! Wait wait! Are you okay? She has anger management issues. She keeps blowing up. You okay? Woah, she's bleeding. I'm fine. Oh dear… Hey! Because of your spit it will get more infected. Gross! What? It won't get infected! Spit heals everything. Is that why your face looks like that? Shut the fuck up! My face is well taken care of, no thanks to you! Back off!! Oh God, my arm. Big Sis. Big Sis. Please pray for her. She was crying all night. You can pray for her. I'd feel like I'm sinning even more if I pray, so I can't. You're not afraid of sinning, you're just afraid you'll feel more guilt. That's why you can't. Oh… Wipe it. So weak! Only your tongue working out, huh? Go down! One, two. Be careful. Free supplies. The soap will give your face mold. The tooth ush will rot your teeth. The towel will make your face blotchy. The socks have so little material it will give you athlete's foot. Cut the crap will you? If you want to give them to her, just do it without the bullshit. You just do your reading. If she weren't my jail roommate, I would've killed her alrelady. Use them well. Thank you. You're pretty. You have baby skin, And you're young. Lucky you, huh? Since we have a new family member, let's have a feast for eakfast! We ate like this last night. Also, this is all Haesoo's food. Shut up and just eat Will you, unless you want to go to the doctor first thing in the morning. You thief bitch! What? You have a lot of money outside from all your scam and fraud. You have to give back in places like this. You have to expiate a little. You always talk of expiation! Sick of it! You guys are so simple and impulsive. I'm just happy cause I'm eating for free. Come here. Wow. Relax and eat up. Whether in here or out there, it's all the same. You'll manage. Just go with the flow and mingle. You learn this bitch is like this, that bitch is like that. Big Sis here used to be a teacher So she speaks in a way that's so easy to understand. Penal labor is literally forced labor. So since we have to work, make sure you're full! New one, where do you want to work? Sarang, Rose that idiot And Haesoo the idiot all work at the repair shop And Big Sis and I work at the woodworking shop. Big sis is really amazing She is a death row inmate so She doesn't have to work, but she still does. Shit I must be out of my mind That big mouth! Which place pays you best? Huh? The repair shop pays best, but the work is shit. You get hurt and bleed. I'll do that one. I have to earn money. You're a level 4 so you won't be paid much. Two to three dollars. In one day? In one month. Hey, don't joke around. You'll get 30-40 dollars a month. Try out the repair shop. Try other ones out, too. Then decide what fits you best. Okay. But You are you ranked higher? Why is your uniform pink? What? My clothes, these! She's a model prisoner, Not on the catwalk but here in jail, she's the good one. I can't agree. The world is so unfair, whether it's here or out there! How is that idiot a model prisoner? Pink suits me so well. Hey! Stop talking nonsense. Eat up, and get ready for work. Yes, big sis. Should I give you a chicken wing? Hey there. Get back in line. Go! Move. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. Twelve Who are you? Are you new? Can you answer properly? Yes, I am here to work. What's your inmate number? It is 2037. Remember that number. In here, that's your name and social security. Understood? Yes, understood. Learn the ropes from your roomates. This is a very important component. This is the propeller shaft. Sometimes it's referred to as rear-wheel drive. You're getting in the way. Go over to Sarang. Go! Get lost. Fuck, I said get lost! Hey! Move. I'm sick of this. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven Eight, nine, ten, eleven Twelve. Finished. Excuse me? What? When do we get paid? I don't know what shit you heard before coming here, but there's no pay here. Did you think it's like real world here? You expect to get paid? You think the hard-earned tax dollars of Citizens are paid out to you so you can spend it? How dare you! It's her first time. Besides, We do get paid for the work. And on special occasions if we make a request, we can use that money as our allowances to buy things in here. Looking out for each other, huh? Unless you want solitary confinement, watch it. Fuck! I didn't do anything. I told you already. Don't, ok? You see that bell, look, look. If you ever feel your life's in danger, Run and press that button. The guards will come save you. You're exaggerating. Why you at! I'm holding myself back. Because I don't want to add one years and serve life in here. Why? So you can leave and become a pimp? What? Are you being nice to the new one So you can sell her once you're out? How can you have such a filthy mouth? Don't listen to her. It's all a lie. Hey! This girl is different from the rest of us. You, bitch, belong here, but this one, She's in here unfairly. Is that so? Then why are you writing to the judge everyday? I told you I'm holding myself back Cos I don't want a life sentence. You have no other future than being a pimp, So why don't you kill Haesoo and become a lifer? That's what I'm saying. These people. What's up with you guys! Big sis!! You come here, huh! Let's just live here forever. I'll make you a lifer. Come on! - I'll let you live here forever. - Come on! You with that prettey face of yours.

It's Yunyoung. I had a son A drunk driver hit and killed him, and drove away. So you know what I did? The driver eventully turned himself in, but I set his house on fire. I ended up killing his five family members who were asleep in the house. When I'm awake, my guilt chokes me. When I'm asleep, the people I killed choke me. Don't hold it inside. Write letters, pray, do something, anything to let it out. That's how you live on. Mom It's me, Yunyoung. You're not sick, right? If you feel any pain, go to the hospital. Don't worry about the money. And I'm doing well. Everyone here is nice to me. Mom, I'm sorry. Did she get hit in the head with a hammer? We need to send her to see the doctor. She's adjusting quickly. I... Huh? How can I send a letter? You put your letter in an envelope and then put a stamp on it. I know that, but... See that? Hang your letter there.

Room 11, morning check-in! You're a furnace. Just lay down. You're sick, what are they gonna do? Hey, hey! What the… just lay down. Room 10, morning check-in! Who the hell is laying down during check-in? Room 10! Do I need to send all of you to solitary confinement? That's not it... 2037, what are you doing? Madam What? 2037 is so sick she can't even sit up. I think she has to go and see a doctor. Are you sure? You sure it's not a misdiagnosis? Yes, I'm sure. Don't get up. Just lay down. I'm so sorry.

Mom! 2037! Let go of me! How can this be? She's just a kid! She should be running around in a school uniform. Seriously... How far along is she? They'll find out when they do an ultrasound. This is big. She's going to end up having that baby. Of course, she'll have the baby. It's life. What are you gonna do, kill it? Hey! Bitch! Think before you speak. You think it makes sense to have this baby! She was sexually assaulted, Can't she get an abortion? The wardon went through the hearing the court's ruling, Yunyoung beat him to death with a weapon, His ain was literally squashed. Oh no... So it's not easy to prove that is was a sexual assault. Because of that, It wasn't ruled as an act of self-defense, But rather, bodily injury resulting in death. A bastard like that deserves to get his ain squashed to death, What's wrong with that?! That's the law. You're kidding, right? So did you end up here because you followed the law? Fuck you. Well, I don't know about the rest of us, but Yunyoung's different. It not her fault. Shit. Who out of all of us isn't being wrongfully accused!! But there's nothing we can do. The baby's done nothing wrong. Yunyoung has to give birth! Fuck! The baby is at fault! It's very existence itself is wrong, fuck it! Shit. Hey! Why you bitch! I was nice to you because you're an orphan. But now you just act up like you don't know anything! Shit. You wanna die? Great! Go ahead!! Kill me! Go! You crazy bitch!! Stop! You think dying is that easy? Killing is that easy? I could kill all of you here tonight, nothing changes for me. I'm still the same death row inmate. Is it the same for you guys? Huh? Sir! - Open the door. - Yes. Oh no... Now now... You can't let your heart freeze up like this.. Baby Even if it's hard, you have to push through.. Teacher… I want to live… Yes, You have to. You have to live well. Rose... Rose, This It ain't easy is it… Lay down. Don't do anything, just lay down. What are you going to do now? Stop thinking about it and just take care of it. Why you! Are you the mom! What has the baby done wrong! Rose, you say something! Well, it's not a baby yet. - It's just a fetus. - Hey! What a joke! You guys are all just words, you can't really be of any help. Want me to help you? This is what you do. Why would you carry such a son of a bitch in your womb!! Hey!! Shit. You come here. You crazy bitch, what are you saying! What do you think you're doing! Pitiful bitch! Once a prostitute and you became a pimp, so does that make you feel some sympathy? Since your womb is gone, are you jealous of the baby or something? Shit. Yeah, I'm jealous. I didn't know when I back then. But since I've lost it I'm jealous! Shit. Crazy bitch. Why were you even born? Fucking bitch. What are you guys doing fighting here? Lock'em up! Feel sorry for what you've done. If you don't eat, it's only your loss. Whether you like it or not, you have to eat to live. If there's anything you want to eat, request it. The warden said you can use the money in custody. So don't worry about money. Why can't I visit? Visit. Wait…wait You can take your time. Wait a minute. It's okay. Did anything happen to my daughter? It's nothing like that. Wait. Your daughter is refusing all visits. Why... why... Why?! My daughter...! I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do to help. I'm sorry. It will be difficult for you to visit today. I'm sorry. It will be difficult for you to visit today. Big Sis told me to ing this to you because you're not eating anything. Those bitches. Hello everyone, nice to see you all. Wow, you're really pretty. Can you guys get out? Our sis wants to talk to this pretty one. Our sis just wants to have a chat. Hey, Pretty I hear you're the youngest ace here. Do you know me? Do you really not know our sister? I'm the bitch from Bulgwang-dong. I'm the bitch from Ssangmun-dong. Let's go to the bathroom together. If I kill you, this will be my sixth murder Do you want to watch? What are you doing, sis? I told you not to bother the girls in my room. Alright, I understand. I made a mistake. But you still need to be punished for ignoring my warning. I told you to get rid of the baby not you, bitch. You don't have the guts to kill yourself. What's with this fucking shit! If you can't kill yourself, Then have the baby! Abandon it, raise it or kill it, Do whatever, you fucking bitch! What is going on! If 2037 lost her baby, that would have added murder to your list. Please don't make trouble here. Instead of suffering like this, Why don't we get help from the press or some civic groups? If we can get the public opinion on your side it will be a lot of help to you. I'm sorry. I don't want to get any help. Why not? I mean, we can't even if we wanted to. Yeah!! You have to get help! There's the baby! And you are still so young, You have to get out of here as soon as possible and live your life. I'd rather spend 5 years here. It would be much more painful to live in shame hiding from the rest of the world forever. I'm sure some people will have sympathy But people will know I have a baby and that I am a murderer. And when my frail mom finds out I am pregnant She will really die. She's suffering enough as is. A mother is much stronger than you may think. But I still don't want My mom getting hurt. You're right. As a woman, a normal life is so much better than one receiving pity from everyone. Alright then. Let's put our faith in a request for retrial. We should also request for a jury The jury and the judge will understand what you're going through. Then, an abortion will be possible by proving a sexual assault. So don't punch your stomach or hurt yourself in anyway. Don't. Let's ask them to push up the retrial date. Ask who? Everyone who's awaiting trial, Thinks their case is urgent and that their trial date should be pushed up. Shit. What do we do? Is the date set for the retrial? No. But from now on, 2037 will be in security division work full time. Why? It's a special order from the warden. Let's go. Can't I just keep working here? They pay you more than here, so don't worry and just move. Besides, it's much easier to go to the nurse's office from there. Sir! Why you! The work's not that hard. You open up all the goods purchased from outside, And you check to see if there's anything fishy in there. If it's medicine, it goes to the nurse's office. And the letters go to the different rooms. Yes. You can clean a little bit, And if anyone below me makes you run errands, you can let me know. Okay? Mom, you're doing okay, right? I couldn't bare to see you. Just one year, can you wait just one year? If I work hard and become a model inmate, they'll even let me study. Always keep your inhaler nearby. So Make herbal medicine and drink it often. Don't worry about me. I love you, mom. You're six months pregnant, but the baby is very small. The baby weighs only 300g. Do you know why? The baby reads mom's mind. Because the mom is rejecting the baby, the baby is hiding away in the womb. And that's why there's no changes to your body. The baby being so small, will there be health problems? All the organs and overall health of the baby good. And the heartbeat is very strong, too. Listen. Yes Is there anything you want to eat? Sticky rice cake Sticky rice cake? It's okay.. If you're so curious, ask her yourself! Alright, alright! What did they say at the hospital? They said I'm six months along. Six months?! Your stomach is not showing at all but you're six months? They said the baby is hiding. Hiding? The baby is hiding in the stomach? The baby knows how I'm feeling. Wow. Knows the mother's feelings. Don't hide. I thought you lost the baby, I was so worried! - You should be worried because it's not! - Shit. Lila, give this to the youngest. Sure! Youngest, our youngest baby. This will keep you warm. Sleep tight. Watch it! Must you wash while I'm in here. Then stop peeing I am finished now, you rascal! Please let me do something. It's fine. I'll get in trouble. - I'll do it. - Go away Will you stop sptting! Big sis, this would be clean enough for the little one, right? Oh wow, It hasn't been long since eakfast but you're hungry again. I'm not hungry. Someone give her something to eat. The baby is hungry! - Am I a prison pantry to you? - Of course. Ugh, you stupid bitch. That's not her being hungry, it's the baby moving! Baby moving? The baby is swimming insdie the womb. Swim?! Yes Visit. A visit? Since you've been here It's your first visit, right? I don't have anyone to come visit me. Is that something to be proud of? Go to the admin office, first. Good. Let's pick a bank and create an account for you. Why? Why do I need a bank account? Ah, well... Your father's name is Yoo Dongwon, right? I don't know anyone like that. Okay. The paper says your father is Yoo Dongwon. He was working at a construction site but he fell and died. He left behind some inheritance. About $8000. I don't need anything like that. I knew you would say that. But there's this procedure. Who else would get the money? It has to go to a family member. So just open an account. You'll be getting some insurance payment later, too. You can take care of that when you get out. Here, take it. What about the body? Oh..Are you curious about it? What about the body? They couldn't reach the family, And he didn't have a home. It was determined a body with no affiliation, so they cremated the body. I solemnly swear that I will speak the truth under oath. The prosecution can proceed. Members of the jury, The lawful assessment has shown already that this Cannot be proven to be an act of self-defense. To put it simply If a thief comes in with a knife, you can't shoot him dead with a gun. In other words, If you use a weapon, Or if you cause the other person more harm than the other person did to you, It can be ruled as excessive self-defense. Thus, Even if the defendant truly was sexually assaulted Murder cannot be considered an acceptable retaliation The jury must also already know Article 11 sub-paragraph 1 of the Constitution states All people are equal under law. This is the logic and foundation of the law And critical to society's rules. Now the defense may proceed. Your honor, the defendant would not like to speak further. Does the defendant not want to give a final statement? I will. I did kill someone. You don't have to believe me but I was also sexually assaulted. I will do as you say. If the judge says five years, I'll do it. If the judge says 10 years, I'll do the 10 years. I will serve my time that you give me And then return home and live with my mom. As if this was all a dream, As if nothing had happened... I just want to go back to my mom. But... For me... this place is so scary And difficult. We will now announce the verdict. The jury's verdict and the judges' verdict are the same. We reverse the original verdict. Even if there was no sexual assault, And the relation was a consensual one, It is clear that the encounter was violent and coercive. Thus, even though it cannot be ruled as an act of Self-defense due to the severity of the defense, Given the circumstances, There is enough reason to take the situation into account, And the sentence can be shortened. However, Due to the charge of lethal injury, Defendant Jung Yunyoung Is sentenced to one year. A particularly cold winter has gone by, and spring has arrived at last. The first song of the day is Across the River Spring Arrives Hey! Be careful and at least try to hide it. If they know you made a knife out of a nail, you'll go into solitary confinement! Why do you care, sis? Did you just call me sis? Wow You've finally become a human being now. You can leave this place tomorrow. Bullshit. You crazy! Can we please speak more elegantly? Bullshit. Shit, the baby is listening... Shit I'm so sorry. Where are you? Wow, the baby's hiding. Come out. Get some sun, swim freely. If you have no sense, at least have some sensitivity. Are you asking for it? If only I got caught just a month later, I wouldn't be here being humiliated and treated like this. These ladies got caught for Prostitution ring! Pyramid scheme fraud! Violence! I am not like them. I am in for adultry. I got caught just a month before adultery law was abolished. Wow! You're going to make a passsing mosquito vomit. You were seeing three men at once! Sis, you can't explain love in numbers! Then how about theft? Oh, that... I took their stuff because I was angry I had to sleep with such scumbags! Wow, really you're a total mess, you bitch! Is there anything you want to eat or do? No But I do miss something. What is it? I miss cosmos flowers. I'll pretend I didn't hear that. You have to eat a lot of fruit. It's good for the baby. Here! I'm ok. I'll pass. It's not okay. Open up. You need to gobble it up for the baby. Youngest - Can you help me organize my books? - Sure Which books should I give you? You're pregnant, just stay still I'll help, which book is it? No! You wouldn't know one book from another, bitch! Shit. I know books! You bitch! If she went to a 4-year university, She would've easily been a pseudo religious cult leader. I graduated from a 4-year university, although it was in one of the smaller cities. 4-year universities are only in Seoul! You absolute idiot! Get lost! Shit Get me the knife. Why are you giving me bullshit? Here. Have it. Really? You love this book. Yup. I love all of them, So don't waste precious time and Use the time for yourself. Thank you. You're welcome. Oh Is it possible Can an ex-convict take the government employee exam? I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Clean up. Let's get your temperature. It's normal Any other pain or discomfort other than your headaches? I go pee too often, but other than that, I'm fine. That part's inevitable so try to bear with it. Also taking medicine too often isn't good for you. Try not to take if you can. I can't sleep at night because of the headaches. It feels like you're coming in to get the pills too often these days I will prescribe some medication for the headaches. Take them here. I'll take it later, when I really need it. Are you hoarding the medication? No, I really am sick. Sir! What are you doing there? I had headaches so I'm coming back from seeing the doctor. Is it really bad? No, I'm better now. Okay, so then can we speak for a moment? Yes This is chrysathemum tea. It's good for headaches. Thank you. Drink it while it's warm. Hide it and then have it for yourself. Thank you also for the supplements and vitamins. My youngest daughter is around your age. So I feel sorry when I see you. So I feel sorry when I see you. I feel the grown-ups have wronged you. Let me know if you ever need help. Also, why don't you just rest in your room until you go into labor? It's more bearable when I move around. Go ahead, try it. Mom Just borrow it and then return it. Why would you make a needle? Girl, So that we can keep using it. Be careful! You're really good at drawing. Why do you like cosmos flowers so much? It's a girl who is shy. Like my mom. - The cosmos flowers? - Yes. When the flower shakes with the fall wind, It looks like a shy girl. Yunyoung must be this pretty because you takes after your mom. My mom is way prettier. Much more prettier! Oh, by the way! I asked the warden, And it turns out five years after being released, Ex-convicts can take the government employee exams. Really? Don't loose hope just because your body is locked up. Yes. Look. Cute, huh? So adorable. - What's with the color? - Why? Do you want the baby to be dressed as a prisoner? This is the only fa ic I had. You, go over there and keep watch. Why? Shit This moment we have to prepare with sincerity We have to make more clothes, make more diapers. And we have to make a comfortable blanket and pillow, too. I know it. Pack the thread. That fearless bitch! Pack the thread. Run! Hurry! What the? Who did this? Uh-oh, seems like you'll go to the punishment room. Shut up! Why you crazy bitch! I'm not crazy. You said something that got me thinking, So the baby can't be wearing prison clothes. You idiot! Do you have a ain? Is my uniform not a prisoner's uniform? It is! But today is Sunday. Sunday is marked red, so pink makes sense. Ugh, you idiot! What does pink have to do with Sunday? They don't really The baby's going to get scared. Shhh.. Your legs are super sexy. Are you okay? You scared the shit out of me. They said it's just a stomache cramps so thank goodness. Using an English name is better, right? Rose Tiffany Natasha Jessica If it's a boy, then what? Of course, it's Daniel Henney. David, Richard, Michael Johnson. So what if the name is fancy! Might as well call it Juju. All things aside, shouldn't we consult with Yunyoung about the baby's name? That's true, But She hasn't even accepted the existence of the baby. She's going through a lot, so we have to set it up for her, and when she needs it, it'll all be ready for her. How about a Korean name, Bo-ni? Boni? Well, the inner skin of a chestnut is called bo-ni. It's the part that protects the fragile inside. The baby should grow up to be a person that can protect the weaker ones. Bo-ni could be for both a girl and a boy. Not bad at all! Big Sis. That's right. No! Hell No!!! What!! No, absolutey not. I really really hate it. Just a husk, dead skin. It's not dead skin! It doen's mean husk! It's something that protects the weak and the fragile. We want the baby to that kind of a person. Bullshit. What a joke. Husk! Dead skin! That's a bad name! It's just like my life. I hate it. How about core, huh Big Sis? - Core! Co-co? - Co-co-nut? Bo-ni. It sounds nice and has a nice meaning. It's Korean. I did my own cleaning today. Hope you'll like these. Cheer up, 2037! How's this? Is it okay? This hand is so cute This one's for the feet. Wow So pretty Shit. - I'm so tired. - You haven't done anything. Yunyoung! Yunyoung! Her water oke! She's still eathing! Water, water! Hurry up and ing water! Yunyoung, wake up! Guards!! Fucking guards! Is anyone there? Someone is dying here! Guards!! Take deep eaths and push. Push. Doctor, she has dilated 10 centimeters Can you hear me? Push. Push till the end. You have to push more. - Please wake up. - Nurse Push the baby out! Yes Patient! Push harder! At this rate, it is dangerous for the mother, too. You have to eathe! What are you doing? Are you going to kill the baby? What is all this? It's... All addressed back to this room. There is too much bleeding. At this rate, she will go into shock. Patient Yunyoung Please wake up! Are you really not going to push? Both you and the baby could die! - Push, push! - Yes. Patient! Please wake up. I'm leaving this letter in case I don't return. Teacher, you are hurting, too, right? You took care of my wounds, and that helped me keep going forward. I know you prayed for me, as well. Thank you so much and I am sorry. Haesoo sis, I am so sad because I wanted to go to college and read a lot of books like you. But I am so happy I got to know you. When you gave me the history books, I thought to myself, I want to give life and studying another chance. Thank you for finding out what I liked without even asking, and helping me so much. Our troublemaking sis. I'm so upset I met you so late in life. I was kind of sad because I felt like you were the only one who didn't know how much love you hold for others. You're a great sis, one that I want to show off to others. I wish I could stay longer and pester you. I'm sorry I relied on you a lot. And I loved you a lot. Pretty face, pretty heart, pretty body. Which is why men won't leave you alone. But I hope you meet Mr. right who will love you for who you are and stay with him. You always looked so pretty to me because you were ready to love and be loved. I was jealous of that. I wish I could see you in your wedding dress. I have a request for you, cool sis. When you go out into the world, try growing your hair and putting on some makeup. You don't know this but I think you're the prettiest person I've ever met. Also, you're not bad because you were abandoned, I think it's bad that you think you were abandoned. I don't think your parents abandoned you. I think they protected you. If I said this to in person, you might beat me up so I'm writing a letter. Please, don't hide and cry anymore. Please! How is the mother? It won't be easy but We have to hope she'll regain consciousness. Yunyoung! Mom bought you pizza. In your next life, I hope you'll live like a 7-year-old at 7 And a 15-year old when you are 15. Mommy is so sorry. Boni, you have to become a pretty girl. Government employee Interview certificate Mom!
(Seo Yea Ji) (Park Byung Eun) (Yoo Sun) (Lee Sang Yeob) (This drama is fiction and people, places, organizations,) (incidents, groups, and settings are not based on reality.) Han So Ra. You will never wonder why. Then that means I am a crazy psycho. Thanks for the show. But doesn't being a psycho mean... you never know what they'll do? I will... eak into your life and dig in painfully deep. You will block me, and I will eak through. Which of us... will win? Has my husband's location changed? What about Secretary Cha's location? He's still inside the building. His meeting with the executives hasn't finished yet. (Episode 10) I'm trying to find a place for us to stay together. Seoul, Namhae, Jeju Island. There are single-family homes and apartments too. If there's a place you have in mind, let me know. It can be anywhere. As for your husband, I'll dispatch him to a rural city. If he wraps things up with you, I'll compensate him handsomely. But if he doesn't, it would be the opposite. You can stay with Bo Ram. Or you can let her stay with your husband. It's up to you. You have my full support. And I'm fooling my wife too. Let's take one step at a time. Right. Is your wife involved... in managing the company now? She had wanted it for a long time. I let her do that, so I could appease her. Let's meet in secret just for the time being. We should meet in hiding. I'm sorry. What? Where are you going? I have to be at the kindergarten. I requested a private meeting with the principal. So you're leaving now? - I just remembered it. - It was hard to free my schedule. I wanted us to be alone. I'm sorry. I wanted to make love to you so badly... that I thought I was going crazy. What's wrong all of a sudden? I'm running late. Try to free up your schedule again. Then I'll make sure I have a lot of time for you. - Ms. Han. - What's this about? I'm from Tomorrow Economics. I heard you fought with your in-laws over shares. Is that correct? I heard there would be a new CEO of the shopping mall. Any hints? - Please give us a comment. - Excuse me. - Ms. Han. - Ms. Han. Why do they care if we fight over shares or not? Is this their asset? My father feels more insulted... because they keep digging into this war of in-laws or whatever. But it's a good thing that they are focusing on the CEO of the mall. It will look like the chairman chose you over the elders. Any woman in Korea will envy you. You should just ignore that woman, Kim Sun Bin. Once you run the company with the chairman, she'll feel intimidated by your class and stay away. Tell the PR team... that I will personally announce myself as the new CEO. They are to keep quiet until then. Yes, ma'am. - Bring General Manager Jang. - Yes, ma'am. I would be relieved to have you involved in this. It was frustrating and unfair that I had to handle it alone. I met up with lawyers. But I'd be going up against the chairman. Ms. Han, you'll stop him. Right? I'll trust you, ma'am. Mr. Jang. Yes, ma'am. Do you think I called you here, so we can join forces? - Pardon? - Can't you control your wife? You fool. How could you call yourself a man? Choose one. Resign or get fired. This is the transaction record of the insider 13 years ago... when Gediks Semiconductors was sold. You were a part of the development team, but you covered up the project. And you devalued the company. Wait. This is... Every employee from Gediks did the same thing. Does it make it legal just because they all did it? You were a developer, but you fa icated the project? Once this gets out, not only will you serve time, but you will also never find a job. - Ms. Han. - Wrap your business here. Take all of your family and move a oad. And I'll only give you ten days. Ms. Han. Please leave. You want to live in the US? That's too sudden. Where is this coming from? It's a comprehensive reason. My mother has been asking us to move to the US for some time. And I've been thinking too. I think the incident with Sun Bin will end once we go to the US. But still. I understand that you are flustered. But I think this is the best option we have. It won't be a bad idea considering Bo Ram. We can start anew in a new place with a clean slate too. Look into that. My mother is in the US, so it won't be that difficult. Don't worry, Mother. I'll take good care of you. Yes, Mom. Can we talk? That's ridiculous. I don't know what to say to that. Once the lawsuit begins, Han Pan Ro and Kim Jung Chul will find out... about us in a few days. Not having him here... might be advantageous for us. Don't you agree? Until we find the right time to ing them down for good, we ought to stall some time. General Manager Jang resigned... because his family will emigrate to the US. What? (Letter of Resignation) Bo Ram, you didn't get to play with Da Bi for a while. Right? There's an electronic tablet in the lounge. Video call her and invite her to your birthday party. Sounds great, Mom! (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) The call can't be connected. Transferring to voicemail. Why won't you answer my calls? Some business at the kindergarten required my full attention. It's not true that you're going to the US... with your husband, right? We're considering it. Let's talk. It can be now or later. When are you free to talk? I'll call you once I gather my thoughts. Let's talk now. Does it mean you might really go to the US? I told you. I'm gathering my thoughts now. - Wait. - How much longer? What is this? This isn't like you. I thought we could easily ignore each other... when either party didn't want to be together. Wait until I feel like seeing you again. Tell me why you suddenly had a change of heart. Did you think everything would go as you planned? I'll call you. Kang Yoon Kyum has already fallen in love with me. That means I can destroy him ruthlessly. The President will now present the certificate of appointment. This certificate of appointment is awarded to Seo Eun Pyeong... for being appointed as a political high official, the chief secretary of the Presidential Office. (Blue House) I'll look forward to working with you. I will do my best, sir. Goodness, Seo Eun Pyeong sent you a huge token of gratitude. (These are my sincere gifts for Prime Minister Han.) (Seo Eun Pyeong Appointed as Chief Secretary of Blue House) He's now the chief secretary of the Blue House. He's soaring high as if there's no end. I wonder what he wants though. Money? Power? Should I make use of Seo Eun Pyeong? - Or the prosecution? - What do you mean? I'm wondering how to destroy Yoon Kyum and his father. Either way, you just have to make a decision. We have more than enough data. What? Hello. To what do I owe your call, Ms. Cha? The Office of Education has sent the foundation a warning notice... - about power abuse. - What? You know the mother of Bo Ram, a friend of Da Bi, right? She's filed a complaint. I think the foundation chair has to vindicate himself. Why, did something happen? Well, do you remember the woman So Ra used to adore? You know, that great tango dancer. Yes. She filed something to the Office of Education. What could it be about? It's probably nothing serious. I'll look into it. Pan Ro, they say it does wonders to your knees. What? That woman is Yoon Kyum's mistress? This punk is unbelievable. He had an affair with the mother of his daughter's friend? I must say he's fearless. Keep your voice down. If Father finds out, he'll call me names for trusting her into doing everything. I even used Yoon Kyum's affair to take the director position. I want to keep it from Father. Oh, that's why Mr. Jang resigned. I'm going to send her to the States. My gosh, this jerk is something. When I announce the anch launch of CL with Chairman Giovanni, I'll reveal that I'm the CEO. I just need to get good results to satisfy Father, and as I get busy, I will eventually forget about that wench. Do you like the interior design? He thinks it's magnificent and classy. He's very satisfied. Thank you. CL has finally launched a anch in a department store. And LY Group was behind this launching decision... as a business partner. Ladies and gentlemen. Let me introduce you... to Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum of LY Group. Today's appreciation shouldn't be for me. It should go to Han So Ra, the CEO of LY Shopping Mall. Han So Ra is actually taking the shopping mall business. She snatched it away from her other-in-law. My husband used to introduce me as his wife, so to hear him introduce me as the CEO of LY Shopping Mall, kind of feels embarrassing. I didn't prepare anything special to say. Just enjoy shopping here today, and come to LY Shopping Mall from now on. - Cheers. - Cheers. Thank you. That wench is here. Who invited her? Chairman Giovanni? She didn't come. No one can enter without an invitation, ma'am. Maybe you're mistaken. I think you're overly sensitive. I know what I saw! But doesn't being a psycho mean... you never know what they'll do? How dare you come here? Can't I congratulate you for old time's sake? You look great, Ms. Han. Oh, dear. You're bleeding. Why not tell your dad I did it? By the way, why didn't you tell him about me? Should I tell him? Stop there. Stop! What's wrong, honey? You even ought that wench here? Is that it? What are you talking about? She is here! Did you meet again? You're having a date here? I get it. What in the world is wrong with you? She's not here! She was there in the hall, and I even talked to her just now. Just call me blind. Look at this. What about it? She ought a rose. Must I show you the security footage or something? I'm leaving her be because of you, and she keeps going wild. I should've made her kneel before me. No, I was a fool. I was naive to believe that everything would be settled... once I kicked her out from kindergarten to the States. Drag her here immediately and have her kneel before me. Please stop! Chairman Kang cheated on her? My, this is crazy. But with whom? She's incredible. I know. What is it? Is something wrong? The conversation you just had... was oadcast over the speakers. What now? - Welcome. - Welcome. - Congratulations. - Congratulations. Get lost. Out, all of you! Word will spread that you had an affair. We must stop it. Do something! How can we stop it? So what? You won't do anything? Where are you going? - Cheers. - Cheers. How dare you come here? Can't I congratulate you for old time's sake? You look great, Ms. Han. It was her. She put a mic in my bag and connected it to the speakers. - Stop it. - Stop what? You don't know how psychotic she is! She hangs around me, gets in the way, then vanishes. She's a nutcase! Will you stop it? Why are you yelling at me? She told me herself that she had an affair with you. Do you get that? She's the one who told me you were seeing another woman, and she's the one who told me she slept with you! She is toying with us! Are you out of your mind? Let go! Da Bi. Don't cry. It's Daddy. It's okay. Were you scared? Come here, baby. It's okay. Don't cry. Daddy's sorry. In Chi Kyum's presence, they announced that So Ra owns the shopping mall. Yoon Kyum betrayed the family. His father-in-law hit you, and he lets his wife belittle us. Why won't you do something about it? Taking Chi Kyum's shopping mall is like a death sentence. How am I to live now? My sister-in-law took what was mine. How am I to live with this humiliation? Sir. Madam Seol, who is in hospital, is gravely ill. The hospital director just called. What? Ms. Han, it's me. Ms. Han. Are you all right? I'll get the first-aid kit. I get why you yearn for the chairman's love so badly. Your birthday was the first time we got together. He's a man you never want to let go of. You've lost your mind. Oh, dear. You're bleeding. Why not tell your dad I did it? Should I tell him? Please. I wish... I could get all the thoughts of her out of my head! I'm Han So Ra. That's who I am. I'm Han So Ra. What is she to me? She's nothing at all. Guess what? Whatever happens, I will never go back to Dad. That place... is purgatory. So Ra. I will keep my marriage intact... and get through it. Was it really you who told my wife? Did you oadcast our shame at the event? Shame? Am I shameful to you? That's not what I'm saying! It is. You're embarrassed and don't want people to know about me. You wanted to keep me hidden and met me only when you wanted. I kept you a secret for other reasons. I did my best to have a future with you. I even did the unthinkable! What more must I do? Is that really your best? Keeping me as a mistress? I have no intention of being the other woman. If that's what you want, get lost. - What what you say. - Why? Does changing terms turn horror into romance? So what if you're rich? Do you think you're the chosen one because you're loaded? Whose money is that? Where did you get it all? Is the house the fee for sleeping with you? I'm the one who enjoyed sleeping with you. Then I should be paying you. Don't make me explode with anger. I had fun when we were having a secret affair. A man who walks on eggshells around his wife isn't attractive. Do you think you can still see me after acting this way? Of course, not. You even cut off ties with your father when you're angry. I didn't spend time with you... to see our relationship come to this. Gosh. Am I the one who caused all of this? Fine. We all have our own battles to fight. I must have been reckless. Let us... never meet again. Sir. I'm sorry. See? You're not the one who decides if we continue or not. It's me. Wait until I make... my decision. You can go now. (La El) (Chief Secretary Seo Eun Pyeong) I care about you more than myself. I love you. (Prime Minister Han Pan Ro) Yes, Prime Minister. I was meaning to call you. The conflict between you and your in-laws... has been in the limelight. Right. Actually, I need your help... regarding that matter... because I plan to teach them a lesson. If carrots don't work, I ought to give them the stick. I'll give you whatever you want... as long as you promise not to hurt Sun Bin. Just don't hurt her. Why would I do what you say? So what are you going to do to Sun Bin? I'm going to tell my dad. And who knows what will happen next? Never. Sun Bin will be hurt then. Did you tell your father about her? Did you? Make her come here and kneel before me. Make your demands to me. Not to her, but to me! I'm going golfing with my dad. What? I can't? Fine. Take the shopping mall. You can have it. What about the director position? I see. That's all I amount to in your eyes. I should talk to my dad. Fine. Leave Sun Bin alone. I'll give you the position. I kept you a secret for other reasons. I did my best to have a future with you. I even did the unthinkable! What more must I do? I need to tell you some information about Chairman Kang. Let's meet. I'm sorry about that night. I was too worked up. I came today... because there's something I must tell you. The former prime minister, Han Pan Ro, might threaten you by using the slush fund against you. He wants more shares. How did you find out? Chief Secretary Seo told me. Why? Because he knows I'm worried about you. Did you decide to move to the US with your husband? What will happen to us then? You haven't decided yet? I have. (Secretary Cha) What is it? Madam Seol is in critical condition. Ms. Seol Kyung Ok, the lady of LY Group, has been bedridden for eight years. And it's confirmed that she's in critical condition... due to pneumonia from a secondary infection. She's currently on ECMO, a heart-lung bypass machine, now. - The medication treatment... - The chairman went to his house. - A life-sustaining treatment... - He went to his house? - Therefore... - By himself? Without me? I confirmed it with Secretary Cha. He should have taken me with him if he were going to go. The patient is currently being transferred to her house. How could you go alone? You should have ought me. What did your father and other say? Should I head over? Don't come. Stay there. I'm talking to my family. Then what about my dad? He should be there. I'll go there with my dad. It's better to ing him, so I don't go down for this. I'll call you again. You said things have been rocky so far. And you don't know what might happen in the future. When you find yourself in real trouble, only your family will reach out to help you... even if you had a different mother. I know that you're in great pain. You were willing to do anything... like relying on the bandoneon... as long as it would heal your wound. In the end, this may be a step in the healing process for you. You should go for your future. I've never seen you drink alcohol. Should I ing a weaker bottle? Where is it? I'll go get it. No. Stay here. I think Chairman Kang... also knows about the murder Han So Ra committed. He was worried that... Han Pan Ro might get rid of me if he found out about me. That would mean Han So Ra, Han Pan Ro, and Kim Jung Chul... took part in the murder. It's time... to face Han Pan Ro and Kim Jung Chul as Chairman Kang's mistress. La El. If they find out about you... Lee La El... already died 13 years ago. I wouldn't be scared even if they identify me. My revenge is going to be... more utal and wicked... than what they did to me. I'll give them a taste of their own medicine. You wanted me to feel burdened to survive. Like everyone else, I have blood running within me. I also have a beating heart. But unfortunately, I don't have a place for anything in here. I don't want... to feel guilty toward you. So no matter what happens to me, don't feel guilty toward me. You may... have changed completely, but I can see through your concerns. Don't think doing this can change my mind. I'll wait until your heart regains warmth. In any case, I will be there for you until the end. The wife of LY Group's founder... and the eldest daughter of the Hyunyoung Corporation family, Madam Seol Kyung Ok has passed away. - She did her utmost to help... - How dare they make her find out... her mother-in-law's death on the news? Let's go to her funeral, Dad. Or they could find fault with it, saying we didn't attend her funeral because of the shares. Then the In-law's Rebellion will be our fault. Let's go. We'll attend the funeral, but with Chief Prosecutor Ahn Gong Pil... and all his junior prosecutors. He was once in charge of investigating LY's slush funds. We need them in our background to intimidate those people. (My sincere condolences to you and your family.) Father. Isn't that Chief Prosecutor Ahn Gong Pil? What... Father. Mother used to adore me dearly. She gave me so much love. My heart eaks to send her away like this. Oh, Mother. Give me a eak. Are you acting like a good daughter-in-law? Well, it's not too late to try out for an acting career. Chi Kyum, Soo Jung. We're gathered here to pray that Mother rests in peace. Family must unite. Whatever. Let's go check on Da Bi. Da Bi. I'm here, Auntie. Ms. Kim. Thank you for coming, Mr. Seo. Thank you. I hope she rests in peace. Chief Secretary Seo Eun Pyeong. Thank you for going out of your way to come here. She came with me because she was a close friend of mine... and her child was friends with Chairman Kang's daughter. I'm so sorry for your sudden loss. My sincere condolences to you. Honey, back at the department store, your other had a big fight with his wife about his affair. Don't you think she's the mistress? Right? They seemed suspicious during the CL event too. Yoon Kyum, that crazy punk. He's got high standards for women. Why? Are you offended? Well, 100 times of that... is how I feel right now. That sounds like... you let her in, knowing everything. I'll go get Da Bi. (May the deceased rest in peace.) Leave immediately. How dare you come here? Get lost now. Da Bi, it's okay. Don't cry. What do you think you're doing? Are you siding with her? What is going on? What is it? I will tell you later in private. Honey. Tell me. I'm asking what's going on. By the way, why didn't you tell him about me? Should I tell him? I think your in-laws are waiting. You should go. Are you crazy? Shut your mouth. That's not what I talked about. Your daughter must be keeping a lot from you. Like what? Do you have a death wish? Sun Bin. Let's go. I have another appointment. Excuse us. (Kick-off of LY Victims' Class Action Suit) The representative of the LY victims, Ms. Jang Moon Hee is here. (Kick-off of LY Victims' Class Action Suit) I'm Jang Moon Hee. For the patience of the 31 victims' families... who waited for a long time while we prepared for this, and for Wooseo Law Firm for taking us on, I show my deepest respect. I thank you also for keeping the secret. From now on, I will take the lead. You stupid fool. All the trouble you'd caused was about a woman? You fell for her... and lost all sense of reason? Figure out who he cheated with. Okay. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) Take it. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) You said you'd made up your mind. The answer you didn't give me then. Can I hear it now? However coldly you treat me, I know how sincere you were when you let me... head to the funeral. I want to know what it really is... that you want. I don't want to be hidden away. Forget So Ra. I want to be... your woman. The only childhood memory I have... is of unjustifiable whippings... and fear that I had to somehow survive. My father, other, and I tread on thin ice. I don't know how my father-in-law will react. We must be cautious. Even faced with your mother's death, is the fight for shares the priority? I don't think of her as my mother. I'm not related to her, and she was fearfully frigid to me. Mother... Mother... They all had their own reasons to hate me. You despicable moron. Kneel! Your mother was lowly and so are you. Your children wouldn't be any different. When I put you there, it was to assist Chi Kyum because he's weak and incompetent. Not to eat your other up. You said you would become king. You got all you can. This might be... a healing process of sorts. Being a member of an entrepreneur's family... is no easy feat. We face many hardships. Still, we must not forget we are family. Comfort each other for the loss of your mother... and make this a lesson to become more mature. Honey. Shall we talk? Living like this. I wonder what the point would be. What do you mean? I lived doing what was expected of me. Now that your father knows about me and Sun Bin, there will be more to do tomorrow. Honey. I'm exhausted. I want to stop doing what people expect. I want to live doing what I want. What does that mean? No, I don't want to hear this. You're too tired. You just lost your mother. You should rest. Some sleep will clear your head. My mind has never been clearer than it is right now. Let's split up. Let's get divorced. - There. - Shall we take a photo? One, two, three. Happy birthday. - Thank you. - Happy birthday. Here. Ta-da. It's your present. It's beautiful, Mom. I'll update the family portrait every year. Sounds good. I'm so lucky. I wish every day were my birthday. We can talk about it for days. But my decision will not change. Let's get a divorce. You still can't feel it? I'm going to kill you. Why are you packing your clothes? Where are you going? This is your house! - No. You're not going anywhere. - Please! Don't ever put your hands on me. I'm following her. Don't lose her. Text me as soon as you confirm the address. Come on out! Hey, Kim Jung Chul. Ms. Kim Sun Bin is my family. It's not a negotiation, but a threat. I fell madly in love with you for all the similarities between us. And I can't live without you now.

(Seo Yea Ji) (Park Byung Eun) (Yoo Sun) (Lee Sang Yeob) (This drama is fiction and people, places, organizations,) (incidents, groups, and settings are not based on reality.) My mind has never been clearer than it is right now. Let's split up. Let's get divorced. However many days we discuss this, my decision won't change. Let's get divorced. It's not serious. A divorce? Out of the blue? How could he mean that? He's just lashing out. It's beautiful, Mom. I'll update the family portrait every year. - Thank you. - Happy birthday. I don't want to be hidden away. Forget So Ra. I want to be... your woman. (Episode 11) I'll raise Eun Bi and Da Bi. You can't have them. Honey. How can we get a divorce? Kids need both parents. A single-parent household? I don't even want to talk about it. Da Bi. I have a doctor's recommendation that she be separated from her mom. Why is that my fault? We're famous entrepreneurs and cele ities. We feed on the public's attention. Our kids can't live ordinary lives... because they're in the spotlight. You're the cheater. I should be raging. Why are you trying to divorce me? I won't accept this. Chairman Kang decided to get divorced. I must hurry too. These are Ms. Jang's court dates. As soon as the suit is lodged, she'll put on a show for the media. To use it to her advantage. If she talks to the media, your identity will be revealed too. I'll ask her to postpone the media show. Those are the insider contracts that sold Gediks to LY. If we get the originals from Chairman Kang's safe, it will be to our advantage. Don't worry about Han Pan Ro and Kim Jung Chul. I'll block them as best I can so they can't do anything to you. How are you so cruel? Even when you hunt, you give your prey a way out. How are you so firm? Is this how you treat a wife who bore you two children? If I give you a way out, you'll fight me on it even more. So what? Why are you packing your clothes? Where are you going? This is your house! You need time alone to think. When you've made up your mind, for Da Bi, you must leave this home. No. You're not going anywhere! Please! I'm sick of your touch. Don't ever put your hands on me. As if I'll divorce you. You won't... get your way. Never. Never. Never. Never! Da Bi. Secretary Kim. We need to keep Da Bi hostage. Get a car to pick her up. Now! (LY Group Semiconductors Lawsuit Plan) (Insufficient evidence, 2010) (August 2007, late 2007, 2013, 2015) (LY Victims' Class-Action Suit) (Meet with prosecution, Date for Argument) A class-action suit was filed under the name LY Victims. The hearing date hasn't been set yet. Once this gets out, it will be a huge scandal. So they contacted us first. The representative of the lawsuit is Jang Moon Hee. She's the one pretending to be La El's mother, right? I devoted all of my savings and my life for the past 13 years... into exposing the corruption in LY Group, its illegal slush fund, the crimes Kang Yoon Kyum and Han Pan Ro committed... to wrong innocent victims. Kang Yoon Kyum colluded with Han Pan Ro and Kim Jung Chul... to take over Gediks Semiconductors illegally 13 years ago. And consequently, they monopolized the global semiconductor market. According to Article 350, they committed a felony-level threat and forced individuals... to sign over personal stocks to them. They committed all kinds of crimes during the hostile takeover. - I found... - They violated... - the insider trading law. - Lee Tae Jun's seal. And that alone will be enough to put them away for life. Their cleaning workers and researchers died... from the exposure to carcinogens... when LY Chemicals was developing semiconductor-related chemicals. And there were dozens of victims. A researcher faced a sudden death... when she tried to tell the world about their wrongful death. And that researcher was my daughter. Sun A. Doctor... (Researcher Park Sun A Blows the Whistle) (A Total of 58 Workers Die, But LY Stays Quiet) (The Cleaning Workers Suffer from Diseases) They also embezzled 800 billion won... for their slush fund from the corporate. According to Paragraph 2, Clause 1, Article 3... of the Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Economic Crimes Act... and Article 356 of the Penal Code, they committed countless crimes that I can't even list. I will disintegrate LY. And the profits collected illegally will be donated to charities. I will make Kang Yoon Kyum, Han Pan Ro, and Kim Jung Chul... to face the maximum sentences in Korean legal history, so justice can prevail. The file on LY's accounting fraud in 2011 is missing. I'll find it and send it over. What? This can't be. La El, did you change the passcode? (Security System Setting) (Resetting the fingerprint security system) How dare you change the security system without my permission? Why do you think that room belongs to you? We own it equally. Even so, that doesn't change anything. I have half the right to access the room. So you can't do this... without my permission. No, I can. You're the one who oke our trust. If you're ready to admit it, come find me... at the house of roses. Why did you let him take Da Bi? How dare you let him take her without asking me first? I'm sorry, ma'am. The chairman came to pick her up himself. So I assumed that it would be fine. Hey! Have you gone blind? Don't you know who I am? The chairman instructed me to assist Ms. Kim Sun Bin. Let her through. This is ridiculous. You're all short-sighted fools. I'll fire all of you! Please wait for me with Bo Ram outside. This is just absurd. Stop acting as if you're their boss. You will never belong to the upper class... even in your next life. How vulgar you are. The power started to shift. You still can't feel it? Once you lose your husband, money, and social status, your mind and body will begin to rot. Will you feel it then? I'll kill you. Then does it mean... I'll end up like those two women... whose fate you had changed? (Doctor Jung) This is so interesting! It's chocolate! You'll be spending your spring vacation... at Bo Ram's grandmother's house. We'll play games, and you can learn ballet from me. I love it! Dad, I love this place! - Let's play. - Sure. I didn't think about coming here. This turned out great. Your wife... is having a hard time accepting your decision, right? It's all right now. I'm with you now. Find out about that wench. Anything I can use against her. Any scandals... or her romantic relationships before her marriage. I want everything that can ruin her. If you can't find it, make it. Yes, ma'am. The prime minister and Vice Chairman Kim... also told me to look into her. Report it to me first. - Got it? - Yes, ma'am. (Blue House) Chief Secretary Kim. It's pretty late. Is something wrong? I was surprised to get your call all of a sudden. - Please sit. - Okay. Did I do something wrong, by any chance? The account under a borrowed name from CS... That's yours, right? You've been pocketing money from every project. Does the prime minister know about this? With this, how can I trust you... and join the Zeus Project? (Blue House) Ms. Kim Sun Bin is... the daughter of someone who showed mercy to take care of me. Kim Sun Bin? Oh, Kim Sun Bin. Chairman Kang's mistress? Hey, Kim Jung Chul. Yes, sir. Ms. Kim is like family to me. Do I need to explain more? Oh, no. I understand what you mean, sir. Your tea's getting cold. Welcome. Would you like to make an order? A cup of tea and coffee each, please. Sure. You like tea. I had to expose... your identity to Kang Yoon Kyum. Because if you decided to side with him, I wouldn't be safe. Not to mention the trial. Still, you can't just change the security system. Put it back. There's only one thing I want. I won't stop you with the trial. But don't let the public know. And send your deputy to court. I need to know the truth behind my mom. I need to watch Han So Ra go down. I'll get you the original copy of the Gediks contract... and Kang Yoon Kyum's secret vault in return. This is a threat, not a negotiation. Do not expose my identity without permission, or we will go down together. Mr. Seo? I didn't think you'd be here. Right, Sun Bin stepped outside for a moment. I see. You said you needed to hand her something. - Should I do it for you? - No. I'll do it myself. Suit yourself. We only met for business. It's weird to meet you in private. And to meet you here... feels different. Is that right? I don't know much about politics. Mr. Seo, do you perhaps know the difference between politicians and businessmen? Politicians are reckless enough to go for whatever they're after... even if the possibility is low. Businessmen never invest in what seems impossible. It applies to every situation including mergers and investments. What's more, they do not even care to love a woman... whose heart beats for another man. Is that so? I know another difference between the two groups. Businessmen tend to be... overly certain about what they can see. While politicians try to read what can't be seen. For instance, they don't beg to question whether their woman can be theirs forever. Such arrogance... is not for politicians. You're here, Mr. Seo. Did you have dinner? Should I get you something to eat? No, I came to give you something. I need to go. I'll leave you to talk freely in private. No, I'm sorry for the sudden inconvenience. We should dine out together sometime in the future. That sounds good to me, Mr. Seo. Goodbye then. This is the draft of Ms. Jang's petition. Thank you. I'll read it through. La El. Let me ask you directly. Are you sure... it's only revenge you want from Chairman Kang? Why are you asking me this? I feel anxious. You told me about everything, but you didn't tell me that you lived with him. Why? This is unnecessary. Do you have feelings for him? Ms. Jang... and you too? My feelings aren't important. I just need to get through with what I have to do, no? All these histrionics. I'm sick of them. I'm not being histrionic. Thirteen years ago, you asked me... what my name meant. Lee La El... It's a pretty name. Does it mean something? One that belongs to a deity. It's from my dad. By the way, Dad, about my name... One that belongs to a deity? What does it exactly mean? Invincible like a deity? Come on, that's impossible for humans. Then what does it mean? That they don't belong to the world. More specifically? In this world, there are countless ways to go astray. But they would never make those choices. One that doesn't belong to the world. It means they have no evil intentions whatsoever. Then do I not have any evil intentions? No matter how tough things get, just follow your heart. Then you will always be right. I love it. My heart is thirsty for revenge. And I'm following what my heart wants. Okay. But if... you do love him, you'll end up in immense pain. I don't want that for you. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) Come to the room. Just like how you healed me, now I want to try to heal you. (Maseong Musical Instruments) Are you sure it's only revenge you want from Chairman Kang? Are you all right? - Are you hurt? - No, I'm fine. There might come a day... when your love burns down everything we had worked for. If you really love Chairman Kang, you'll end up in immense pain. I don't want that for you. Sun Bin. Yes. Ms. Kim? Ms. Han is feeling very agitated. Are you sure you can be here? Da Bi wanted to come. Since she has been with me, away from her mother, doesn't she look more cheerful? You're looking after Da Bi? You didn't know that? The chairman and Da Bi live with me and Bo Ram now. I see. (Ms. Han So Ra) Ms. Han? She showed up. I'm on her tail. Da Bi's in the car too. I think she'll lead me to the chairman. Don't lose her. Text me the address as soon as you have it. Yes, ma'am. - Play or lose. - Play or lose. - Rock-paper-scissors. - Rock-paper-scissors. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) Again. Play or lose, rock-paper-scissors. I think I'm being followed, sir. They want to find this place. You don't know what my wife or her father is like. It's dangerous. Stay away. Shall I pretend to return to the kindergarten? Yes, do that. I'll meet you there. Secretary Choi, get my car. Did you find their hideout? - Where is it? - Ma'am, it's Marco. I slept with Eun Dam Ri. I shot enough photos too. I called to ask for the money that was promised. Shall I send the photos or meet you in person? You useless morons! Get lost! The woman Yoon Kyum cheated with. She's a nobody. I have no idea what he saw in her. What are you saying? She's a really common housewife. I couldn't find anything on her. So what? I will dig deeper. I will dig deeper from different angles. It's So Ra. Hi, So Ra. What is it? What? Yoon Kyum shacked up with that wench? Those darn punks. Those two. I'll bash their heads in. Where's the hammer? This is the hideout. Come out! I'll grind those two into a smoothie. Get out here! Come on out! Come out right now! You fools! (Kim Sun Bin) (Kim Sun Bin) Dad. Da Bi? What's wrong? Da Bi! What happened? Are you okay? I couldn't reach the kindergarten. I was threatened on the road. Han Pan Ro and Kim Jung Chul came here with weapons. Sir. Rumors about you and Ms. Kim... are spreading in the financial world and tabloids. Your wife and her father seem to know already. (Tabloids are up. Boycott this company.) (Tabloid about K and H the business magnates) Did you read this? (LY did an internal investigation about the recent tabloids...) Isn't this about Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum? It's a huge mess. (CEO Kang Yoon Kyum of LY Caught in a Shocking Scandal) - Is it true? - Did he really cheat? - No way. - Is that a press conference? - It's about Kang Yoon Kyum? - Who is this woman? (A parent from kindergarten? How did this happen?) - Look at this. - This is crazy. - Gosh. He should know better. - This is unbelievable. - What is this? - Is this true? It's true! Your father is calling. - Yes, Dad. - Have you gone mad? What is this nonsense on the news? How could you fail to keep your man in order? What is this? I called Assemblyman Park. I'll take down the online posts. People already read everything! That won't fix anything. Wait. What is Yoon Kyum trying to do with this? I'm shocked too. Give me a bit more time. I'll clean this up. I ought to kill him. Tell him not to ing us down with him. (CEO Kang Yoon Kyum's Private Life Causes a Controversy) (CEO Kang Yoon Kyum's Private Life Causes a Controversy) The President wants the floor leader to publicly take back what he said. If you set up a meeting with him, I'll talk to him. Yes, Mr. Seo. No one seems to know who Kang Yoon Kyum's mistress is. No way. Everyone is trying to find out who she is. Is she an alien? She seduced the CEO of LY, the richest man in Korea. Who could it be? He's married to Han Pan Ro's daughter. He must be really gutsy. Right. You're useless. How could you fail to stop this? What were you doing? What were you doing, you jerk? You should have stopped it. - You couldn't even do that. - Pan Ro. What were you doing? Where's the hammer? The hammer. Pan Ro. Please spare me! I'm sorry, Pan Ro! CEO Kang Yoon Kyum of LY supposedly has a secret mistress. Once this shocking news hit the public, the controversy has gotten more serious. And LY hasn't disclosed any public statement yet. Fine. I won't stay away from the public eye. I'll try to keep your identity hidden. But I can only buy you... two weeks at max. Two weeks will be enough. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) Mr. Kang, everyone online is criticizing me... and calling me a home-wrecker. If people find out I'm your mistress, I might be too ashamed to live in this country. And I don't know what to say to Bo Ram. Chairman Kang had a mistress. - But he has a kid. - What? - Who is she? - Who is this mistress? - A mistress? - Who is she? This is crazy. Look. This must be true. I wonder who she is. - Who is she? - He really has a mistress? Are there any photos? I'm sick of you. Let's split up. Let's get divorced. - Kang Yoon Kyum's private life... - CEO Kang of LY... Do you want to get caught? That I got you so badly? However many days we discuss this, my decision won't change. Let's get divorced. - Ms. Han. - Don't come in. Get lost. Ms. Han. Well... Turn off the TV. And get rid of the Internet too. Don't tell me his news. I don't want to hear anything. Someone from the court stopped by. I said you weren't here... to stay away from the reporters and that was the only answer I had. So I was able to turn him away. Why would someone from the court come here? The chairman... filed a divorce lawsuit. (Seoul Central District Court) - What are you doing here? - To deliver certified mail. I was told she was staying here and wasn't at her house. This is a divorce lawsuit... for the defendant, Han So Ra, from the petitioner, Kang Yoon Kyum. Just a moment ago, a business news program of YBN reported... CEO Kang Yoon Kyum's scandal about his private life... and the possible changes in the equity structure. LY has reached 100 trillion won in its annual export revenues. As the company took up 20 percent of the export revenues from Korea, the company was on the rise. But its stock price slightly went down today. And other related companies are bound to be affected by this. The stock price of LY went down by 20 percent... over the past few days. (Prime Minister Han Pan Ro) Han Pan Ro is calling. You must be having a tough time because of your son-in-law. But you wanted to see me? Mr. Seo, I was told you knew the woman who ruined my daughter's life... quite well. What should I do? Not only did she ruin my family, but she also caused a huge problem for the entire country. Should I just let her do what she wants? I understand... that you're shocked. But Ms. Kim is like family to me. I will not allow Ms. Kim to suffer from any kind of trouble. I... will not tolerate it. We're stuck then. Then, divorce him too. - Dad. - Don't cling to what's hopeless. Yoon Kyum has lost himself. Right, Mr. Seo? I gave him Gediks Semiconductors. His family's LY was nothing. After all I offered, my daughter shouldn't be mistreated like this! We'll take everything from him... and kick him out pennilessly. I will never get divorced. I will never lose my husband to that wench! And how exactly will you keep him? He's already lost his senses. This is all because you went there with a hammer! What... What you did isn't the right way to change his mind! Shut your mouth. You couldn't even keep your husband in check. Well, Pan Ro... Goodness, look at the mess our family is in. It's a complete mess! All this is because of one woman. How about we do this, Mr. Seo? I wish I can let my temper go wild, but how can I mess with someone you cherish so much? So for me... and her to survive, we have to file a divorce suit. We will take all his fortune through that lawsuit. And Mr. Seo, help us with it... in exchange for her safety, okay? Meet me after you leave Han Pan Ro's house. (Lawyer Seo Eun Pyeong) Du Han. I will never get divorced. So my dad and I will end up taking different paths. Yes, ma'am. Du Han. I know you're desperate to pay for your mom's surgery. Pay for it with this. (Check, Director Han So Ra of LY Group) Thank you so much, ma'am. You're the only one I have. I want you to be on my side. Yes, I'm willing to do anything for you. Get that wench, without letting my dad and husband know. By any means possible. I heard you and Han Pan Ro talked about the lawsuit. This war is going to get big, La El. It's okay. There's a good side to this. The divorce lawsuit and Ms. Jang's lawsuit... will be meshed up to reveal LY's illegal takeover of Gediks. The public will get to know. All right, good. Then I will make use of these lawsuits... to prove that you are the heiress of Gediks. Kang Yoon Kyum must go down with nothing left to his name. LY should be yours, La El. We will make this divorce suit the biggest one ever in Korea. The former Supreme Court justice, Kim Myung Chul's law firm, Park and Kim, and Taeul. Request those top law firms for a joint suit. Yes, sir. Kang Yoon Kyum must... go down with nothing left to his name. Just like how you healed me, now I want to try to heal you. - Is it good? - Should I try some too? - It's delicious. - Gosh, it's yummy. You should've been happy, Lee La El. You're in no place to pity him. Cosmos flowers? I knew you'd take notice of them first. It's not even spring yet. How did you manage to get them? Until autumn comes, I'll travel to the other side of the globe if I must to get them. I don't know why, but the flower reminds me of you. Cosmos flowers that look just like you. I wish every day is my birthday. Can't it be? Why not? I'll do everything that makes you happy. Then these flowers would be the issue. You give them to me every time, but they're autumn flowers. Then before autumn comes, I'll travel to the other side of the globe to get them. Cosmos is said to be the first flower... that the Almighty created to light up the world. Now your world will be ight... all year round, La El. I love you, Mom and Dad. I know you've been hurt. The pain is so deep... that you have to make another wound to cover it. I understand it's hard to tell me. I'm okay with that. You can follow your heart. Before autumn comes, I'll find cosmos plants for you. Then one day, you will make them blossom. There's more that I've prepared. Once you lose your husband, money, and social status, your mind and body will begin to rot. Will you feel it then? (Blue House) He's my husband. I won't let him go. Fate ought us together. I fell madly in love with you for all the similarities between us. You understood me, and I could show myself to you. I can't live without you now. I love you. For the rest of my life, I, Kang Yoon Kyum, swear I will live only for you. If there is any lie to that, even if I were to lose my life, I do not fear. Can you, Kim Sun Bin, say the man standing before you... is the man you love... truthfully before the deity? But Dad... What if I feel complicated? I could feel torn, or have mixed feelings. What should I follow then? In that case, you should follow the truth in your heart. Do you love me? Yes. Can you vow to spend the rest of your life... with this man? It's because you're watering poison in your heart. The poison that can even take away your life. Love. There might come a day when your love burns down... everything we had worked for. If you really love Chairman Kang, you'll end up in immense pain. I've seen too many stories where a girl ruins everything and dies... Love makes people weak. Even if there's love in my heart, what do you fear? If love is this meaningless. I can't live without you now. I love you. Love... Kang Yoon Kyum has already fallen in love with me. That means I can destroy him ruthlessly. Can you say the man standing before you... is the man you love truthfully before the deity? Love makes people weak. You'll end up in immense pain. If love is this meaningless. Follow the truth in your heart. Sun Bin. Sun Bin. - Adam and Eve... - Sun Bin. disobeyed the Almighty... and was charged with the original sin. Meeting you... ought about a terrible original sin. The sin of killing... the man I love. You love him but can't admit to it. Having to drag him down into a pit of fire must feel dreadful. I'm trying hard to hold back. Take her outside. Let go of me! Who are you to send me out? Staying in hiding, being anded the mistress... I won't do it anymore. Did she approach us on purpose? You don't know who she is, do you? I'll tell you. Don't make me find the uncomfortable answer myself. What are you doing? You're done for... Lee La El. Ripped and resynced by YoungJedi

For a long time, I've been having the same nightmare. I face the fear I cannot handle. The dream ends terribly. I called because I didn't want you to go against your family. I wasn't sure, but thankfully, she came. Are you all right? I'll get something to drink. I saw you faint, La El. For the rest of my life, I, Kang Yoon Kyum, swear I will live only for you. If there is any lie to that, even if I were to lose my life, I do not fear. Can you, Kim Sun Bin, say the man standing before you... is the man you love truthfully before the deity? Yes. Sun Bin. I must have been nervous. No, you weren't nervous. It was just unbearable for you. I was short-sighted to see the other side of things. I resented you for falling in love. But I didn't know... that... you were trying your best to stop loving him. If you want to follow your heart, you just have to bear resentment from one person. Me. What do you mean... by that? What could I say to you? We all have to live our own lives. Ms. Eun Dam Ri. It's me, Han So Ra. I'm fine. How could the daughter of a media agency believe that? I'm suing him back for show. But we'll never get a divorce. I'm sure you probably guessed it. Ms. Kim is the mistress. So it was her. How long has this been going on? Gosh. I had my suspicions. But people don't know that she's married with a kid. I'll let your family run an exclusive article on her. I'll also give you the scoop on how she's been flirting with men... while dancing and how vulgar her behaviors were. Why don't you run an exclusive? You know that people love exaggerated gossip. Send the file we put together to Eun Dam Ri's company. Yes, ma'am. If I corner her from all directions, she's bound to come out. There's turmoil in the family of LY Group's CEO. Han So Ra announced that she would try to keep the family together. But her husband filed a divorce lawsuit against her. People are criticizing him for this inappropriate decision... as the leader of a conglomerate and questioning his ethics as well. To prove... So Ra. Goodness. Look at you. You look so haggard. How could something like this happen to you guys? Are you all right? Aunt. I'm so miserable. How could you not be? Whatever happens, stay strong and don't do anything stupid. You must think about your kids. Aunt. Could you meet with my husband? If the President and the First Lady talk to him, how could he refuse? Sure. I'll talk to him. I'll call Chairman Kang and talk some sense into him. Gosh. Look at you. You poor thing. I feel awful for you. Aunt. I found out where Kim Sun Bin and the chairman are staying. Did you find them? Where are they now? They are at the chairman's villa. Grab her when she is alone. I don't care if she dies when you try to kidnap her. Make sure you ing her to me. Yes, ma'am. I will. Was there a reason that drew you to tango? After quitting ballet, I started learning other types of dance. To be honest, I was drawn to it the first moment I saw it. Ms. Jang. I'm sending you the pictures. Welcome to our bar. The world is full of pain. But there isn't a wound that can't be healed. Try to see that one can communicate... without talking and only through tango. Tango is a type of dance that allows us to communicate with, understand, and heal each other. Should we just... leave someplace far? Going back to Seoul... feels ominous. You've never been to Argentina, right? You love tango, so I'm sure you'll love Buenos Aires. As long as I'm with you, I can leave behind everything here. You? No way. What is the secret you're keeping from me? I don't care about your past. But I felt that something is still torturing you. There is no such thing. Then why did you faint at the church? What is it that you fear? Nothing. You did this recently. Tell me what's torturing you. I just told my husband that I wanted a divorce. Everything is so sudden. Of course, it's taking a toll on me. You must tell me what you're hiding... for us to be happy. Han So Ra started to come after La El in full force, talking about how she's married and behaved inappropriately. At this rate, La El's identity will be exposed... even before LY gets disintegrated. If she's caught with Chairman Kang? Gosh. That would be awful. (Chief Secretary Seo Eun Pyeong) This is Seo Eun Pyeong. Hello. This is Jang Moon Hee. I know that you've been helping La El. She tried to take her life. After her father's incident, she had a serious case of panic disorder. It was greatly caused by her mental issue. It's hard to say she's fully treated. I saw her with Chairman Kang. She seemed unstable. She started hurting herself again. She loves him, but she can't admit it. And to drag him down to the bottom pit, she feels devastated. I know I have to use her, but I don't want to see... anyone die ever again. Tell her to choose Chairman Kang... if that's what she wants to do. But I can never give her my blessing. Tell her to disappear... or never to return to Seoul. Can you come out for a moment? I'm near the villa. Ms. Jang came to see me. She could tell... what I could tell. So you do... love Chairman Kang. So what? Leave where? If I leave with Chairman Kang, you two will condone it? No, you won't. If we do, do you want to leave? Why bother asking this meaningless question? You even tried to end your life! If you don't want me to worry about you, give up on Chairman Kang. I can't leave you be. But I can't get in the way. And I can never let you leave far away like Ms. Jang did. It drives me crazy! Go back inside. I said not to deal with the media. Ignore whatever they say. Just let them be for the time being. I'll make direct instructions to the TF Team. Tell the team manager to call me. Let go! Let go of me. Let go! Who are you people? Mr. Seo. Are you okay? Make sure you ing her to me. I don't care if she dies when you try to kidnap her. I... care about you... more than myself. I just wish that you're safe. I want to do anything for you. That's all I think about. Mr. Seo. Are you okay? Mr. Seo. I was told you knew the woman who ruined my daughter's life... quite well. But Ms. Kim is like family to me. Run. Mr. Seo! Mr. Seo. Haven't you found her yet? No, sir. Search everywhere close and far. Yes, sir. (Secretary Cha) What did Sun Bin's mother say? What about the security team and the police? Where are you right now? You ended up hurting Seo Eun Pyeong? Did he see your face? I... I doubt he did. It was dark without any streetlamps. What have you done? You... stabbed the chief secretary of the Blue House. I apologize. This is driving me crazy. Find out... how bad his injury is. Check if he saw your face. - Now. - Yes, ma'am. Are you sure you are unharmed? Whose blood is this? A man got hurt, trying to protect me. Do you remember the face of the man who attacked you? Is that important? It was him this time, but your wife could easily send more in the future. I will fight head-on now. I'm done being the secret adulteress. I won't hide anymore. With the leaders of LY, let me present our strategy for the future. Empowering leadership and quick initiative... are needed to eak through our crisis. Thus, we'll launch a strategy and planning team... to supervise each team. It will be named Future Strategy and Planning, and the person in charge will be Kim Sun Bin... who took the lead in the listing process of LY Pay. I'm Kim Sun Bin. They say a crisis can become an opportunity. I will turn LY Group's crisis... into an opportunity to regain its status. This is a semiconductor silicon wafer. Most semiconductor companies including LY... produce 12-inch discs. But I suggest we ing back the eight-inch disc. In a merger that happened 13 years ago, LY obtained the technology... developed by genius entrepreneur Lee Tae Jun. La El. This is a semiconductor disc that Dad makes. Gediks Semiconductors' technology took the world by storm, and it's the basis on which smartphones were developed. The technology is top of its class even now. The top five Korean semiconductor manufacturers... agreed to supply LY only. (Vice-president Kim Yi Sak) To move quickly with the times, Legal, Development, Finance, and Security will temporarily... come under Future Strategy and Planning. Please cooperate for LY's future. (The number 1 group that leads the world, LY Group) She heads Future Strategy and Planning? That's the heart of the company. She'll find out our secrets and about our slush fund! Think about it. That woman... got the top five manufacturers that insisted on... never supplying us to sign an exclusive deal. Is that something an ordinary woman can do? Oh, dear. My blood pressure's spiking. Oh, dear. - Goodness. - You need to calm down. Are you all right? Sir. We did the math and a divorce suit could win you... hundreds of billions of won. Things are looking good. Don't worry. Hundreds of billions? That's chump change. Try to calm down, will you? Relax. - The right. - This side? Yes, there. We are the lawyers... representing Han So Ra, the wife of LY's chairman... who is also a director in her own right. Kang Yoon Kyum let his personal life... interfere with business, causing stock prices to fall. This is clearly illegal considering his duties, and we demand compensation. Our client Han So Ra will counter-sue the divorce suit. The suit will discuss amounts up to ten trillion won. - What? - Ten trillion? - No way. - That's madness. For real? (Up to ten trillion won) When did I say that? Who's suing if it's not me? Get my car. I won't get divorced. I said so already. Drop the counter-suit! So Ra. Your father was in meetings all day... and he just went to bed. Keep it down. I will not leave him. I will not get divorced! What will you do, then? What if you won't get divorced? How will you get him back when he left home? I just need her to disappear. I will wipe her from the face of the earth! Get a grip, you wench. She's not like the other women. The whole country's talking about you and her. If you mess up going after her, it'll dredge up the dirty past. Okay? Yes, you're right. That you are. So Ra knows that too. So calm down. She's not like the other women. The whole country's talking about you and her. If you mess up going after her, it'll dredge up the dirty past. Okay? ( Seo Eun Pyeong) Han Pan Ro was involved after all. They killed my mom and covered it up. That's how it remained a perfect crime. I need to recover fast and get out of here to protect you. I thought the one thing you mustn't do... is commit murder. But there's one more thing that must be avoided at all costs. Love. Why? Why say that? Look at you. - You're suffering. - And you aren't? They say life is filled with pain. Yours wasn't before you met me. I much prefer my life now that I know you. I'd like to lie down. She started hurting herself again. She loves him, but she can't admit it. And to drag him down to the bottom pit, she feels devastated. La El. If you really love the chairman, then go for it. It's okay. But knowing what you must face if you do... makes me wish you'll run from it all... and live in peace. Love isn't about ownership. I see what that means. - This is beautiful. - This too. It came out nicely. Ms. Eun Dam Ri? Ms. Yeo Ji Hee? Who might you be? Ms. Kim Sun Bin, Head of LY's Future Strategy and Planning... sent me. Who? Spend a night with Eun Dam Ri and Yeo Ji Hee. Seduce them... or get creative. The first one to sleep with them... will get this. Is she out of her mind? It was Han So Ra's idea. The initial pay was 100 or 300 million won. They were offered triple that if they succeeded. The men have video proof. What should we do? Who's there? Who is it? Who's there? Who are you? Wait. What's going on? What do you want? - Where's the video? - What video? Ms. Eun Dam Ri's video. Where is it? Tell me. I'm here to report LY Group's Han So Ra... for instigating a sex crime. She offered us money... and told us to do something bad. - LY Group's Han So Ra? - Yes. The initial pay was 100 million won. We lost our minds... and fell for it. That was our mistake. To ruin the image of a rival in her group, Ms. Han ibed a male dancer... and offered him tens of millions of won... if he ought proof they slept together. It's the First Lady. Shocking truths are coming to light. Goodness, So Ra. That's a serious crime. How could you do such a thing? It's not true, Auntie. It's a misunderstanding. You must have your reasons, but I cannot get involved in such a scandal. Don't call me for a while. Look after yourself. Who is it? Is it my husband? Where is he? This isn't happening, right? No. This can't be. Don't just stand there. Get her out of here! Get your hands off me! Ms. Han! - Escort her out. - This is my house! How dare you kick me out of my own house? Then... drag her out. Have you gone mad? Let go of me! Don't you know who I am? Get your hands off me! Do you all want to die? Get your hands off me! This is my house! Why must I leave? Get your hands off me right now! Let go! I'm done talking to Ms. Han. I sent her stuff to her father's house. Honey. Honey. There were... happy days in our marriage too. We were happy when our child was born. And we were happy to see our children grow. Couples are supposed to stay together through thick and thin. I didn't file the lawsuit, honey. I'll cut my ties with my father and live for you only. Can you please give me another chance? It's already too late. You think things will be different with that wench? The physical attraction? That's not going to last long. You're bound to hate your wife and get sick of her. Our marriage was arranged by our families. But for the first time in my life, I purely focused on the person, not her background. How could these decisions be the same? They are completely different. If you divorce me, I will give you my assets... very generously. I don't need your money. I just want you. You're the only man I love. Nothing can replace you, honey. Secretary Cha, escort Ms. Han out. I can't believe this. Honey, don't leave me! Stop! Don't leave me, honey! Honey! No... A crazy psycho? Thanks for the show. Then that means I am a crazy psycho. But doesn't being a psycho mean you never know what they'll do? I will eak into your life... and dig in painfully deep. Which of us will win? Bo Ram, do you want me to show you around my house? Sounds good! If I stay here, Da Bi will be confused. I'll go back home after I stay for a few days. That's why I wanted to go to a new house. But Da Bi is so happy to be back home. Chief Secretary Seo has been staying... at his house. If people find out what I did to him on top of everything... Make sure this never gets out. I will do so as if my life depends on it. Please feel better, ma'am. I'm good. What's his relationship with that wench? Why did he go all the way there to see her? Any clues? There was something odd about them. She addressed Chief Secretary Seo rather differently. Mr. Seo. Are you okay? Why is she calling him that? He's not a lawyer anymore. Find out when, where, and how those two met. Yes, ma'am. I hid my toe shoes in the secret storage. I know the passcode too. I won't send the girls to kindergarten tomorrow. I'll stay with them at home. I want to help Da Bi get used to... not having her mother at home. Sure. You should. Kim Sun Bin lived a oad. And she moved in with Jang Moon Hee seven years ago. (Jang Moon Hee's child) But I found out that Chief Secretary Seo... grew up in an orphanage. He grew up in an orphanage, but their parents were close? I'll dig deeper. Wait. Who? What was her mother's name? Jang Moon Hee. (Jang Moon Hee) Jang Moon Hee. This name should ring a bell. Why does it sound familiar? Jang Moon Hee. Jang Moon Hee... Jang Moon Hee. I remembered. Oh, right. Didn't you call a meeting with the TF Team? I can postpone it to tomorrow. The company needs you. The kids will be fine together. Just for today. I'm worried about Da Bi, that's why. All right, then. See you later. You're a magic pineapple. Don't hurt anyone. Trust me. How about we play hide-and-seek? - Sounds good. - Me too! I'll be the tagger. One, two, three, four, five... We both know that Bo Ram is an expert at finding. There's only one place where she can never find us. Sure. Excuse me. Yes. Did you ask for me? They want to go to the playground. I have a call to make. I'll follow you afterward. - Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am. - Let's go outside. - Let's go. All the former chairmen of LY kept paper records. I heard from my source... that they kept a handwritten ledger in a safe. If you find the safe, I'm sure you'll be able to find the ledger... for Gediks Semiconductors.

We played hide-and-seek, and Da Bi came in here. Then the files dropped. I was putting them back in case you'd find it upsetting. Ms. Kim, play with us. Ms. Kim, let's play. Dad... I'm sorry. I unlocked the vault. Da Bi, it's okay. Don't cry. Da Bi, it's all right. La El, are you here? Chairman Kang saw me in the vault. I couldn't even get the original copy of the contract. Did you get caught? Is he suspecting you? Not yet. ( Seo Eun Pyeong) Ms. Jang. I'll send you the photos I took from inside the secret vault. (LY Semiconductors) Do you know where this is? I've never been here, but you must have to see your daughter. Your daughter's the dead LY researcher, isn't she? I have a pretty good memory! Don't I, Du Han? It's time to answer some riddles. How does a woman who wailed about losing her daughter... suddenly find a new one? Kim Sun Bin. Did you adopt an adult? What are you two up to? Why are you two strangers... pretending to be mother and daughter? Oh, right. You two. Did you approach us on purpose? You couldn't get over the death of a mere researcher, so you came back to get revenge? I just love stuff like this. It's fiery. Shall we... have a drink? You left to see your mother. Did you see her? Yes. Can you explain what this uncomfortable feeling is? What feels uncomfortable? You. It's as I said. We played hide-and-seek. Why do you feel... so distant? We live together. We shouldn't feel distant. That's the irony. I may be crazy about you, but I haven't turned stupid. Don't make me find... the uncomfortable answer myself. I haven't seen you this cheerful in a long time. - Secretary Kim. - Yes? You can find out... my husband's schedule, right? I'd like to meet them at the same time. - Can you make it happen? - I'll find out. Wow. You look pretty much like a CEO now. Should I say a little worm has turned into a dragon? You have no pride. You've resorted to stalking. You're done for... Lee La El. Lee La El. Lee... La... El. Look at that face. I've never felt this good in years. Secretary Kim. Is the chairman here? Okay. My husband's here. Take the kids elsewhere so they don't come here. Yes, sir. You won't let me see my daughter? Isn't that too cruel? Must you be this ugly? Leave before you get humiliated. You'll have to thank me. Don't just stand there. Come and sit down. Honey. You don't know who she is, do you? I'll tell you. That won't do you anything. Stop it. This is Sun Bin's photo from when she started high school. She went by another name. Lee... La El. (Kim Sun Bin) (Lee La El) I just put in a drop of doubt. Your relationship will blacken like this. You doubt her and secretly follow her. But you call that love. So you're not a threat to me. That's why I can speak my mind. Follow her. Du Han, why aren't you answering your phone? We have to cut Jang Moon Hee loose. That stubborn wench. Release Jang Moon Hee. Association of LY's victims? I'm willing to hand over the employees who embezzled from LY. We're being bugged.

That's right. Whose is she? Must I call someone? Secretary Cha. It's fine, Secretary Cha. I was about to leave. Do you think I didn't expect this? I know you too well, Yoon Kyum. We lived together for years. I know how you are deep inside too. Once embedded, doubt never goes away. I just put in a drop of doubt. That one drop will start to cloud the clear waters. Eventually, it will turn everything dark. Your relationship will blacken like this. If you want questions answered, see me in private, honey. Fear isn't the worst when you're faced with it. True fear is knowing... you're about to be overcome. Get up. Let's go somewhere else. I said I'd leave. I have lots to do to clean up her mess. I'm busy and have to leave. Hello, Father.

She also knows Ms. Jang approached on purpose. But she doesn't know about Gediks Semiconductors. How did Chairman Kang react? He's not showing any reaction for now, but it pretty much started off our countdown. Ms. Jang is the problem. I can't reach her. I'll go check on her. How? You're in the hospital. I'll go.

If you don't cooperate, we'll send the files to the prosecution right away. Wait. Thus, we'll launch a strategy and planning team... to supervise each team. It will be named Future Strategy and Planning, and the person in charge will be Kim Sun Bin. She's going to report me after everything she did to me? Gosh. Ms. Kim canceled today's meeting too? She adjusted her schedule hurriedly and left the building. The driver works for us, so we can find out where she's going without her knowing. Ms. Jang. What would you like to do, sir? - Follow the car. - Yes, sir. (Unseo General Hospital) (Unseo General Hospital) What about her cell phone? You didn't find Ms. Jang's phone? Only her cell phone was gone. And her phone is turned off. Why don't we report this to the police to look for her? I will meet with Han So Ra first. I'm the one she hates. There's no reason to hurt Ms. Jang. La El. Even without the original contract, I'll help your lawsuit. Don't get involved if it's dangerous. Let's go. Hold on. Shouldn't you stay in the hospital a bit longer? I should do something before something like this... happens to you again. (Unseo General Hospital) Follow her. (Unseo General Hospital) Isn't that Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum? (Chief Secretary Seo Eun Pyeong) It's been a while. Yes. Okay. - Stop the car. - Yes, sir. Who on earth attacked... the chief secretary of the Blue House? That's a serious crime. How come no one knows about it? I didn't tell anyone on purpose. I was waiting for the right time. What do you mean by that? I was going to tell one of the people... who was involved in this incident... and cornered that person. Who is it? I'm doing it right now. Are you suspecting me? That's nonsense. How could you be so rude? Han So Ra, Han Pan Ro, Kim Jung Chul, and Kang Yoon Kyum. Everyone would think you guys are working together. If you want to be seen as one of them, make them stop whatever they are planning right now. I hope you won't be connected to them... when they get punished. Bye. Chief Secretary Seo. Your hostility toward me. And your unnecessary meetings with Sun Bin. The fact that you didn't tell anyone after getting attacked. I can't understand any of it. But it will explain everything with this reason. Do you love Sun Bin? Is that why you're helping her? - What if I am? - She already chose me. How could you be so azen? Tell me about your love. My love is about sacrifice. I just think about what I can do for her. You tail her and suspect her. But you say you love her. So I don't consider you my competition. That's why I'm azen. You suspect her, but you love her? I don't know. But I'm certain that you won't be standing by her side... in the near future. I'll get going. That will be a great shirt for my father-in-law. And that's good for my other-in-law. I'll take the shirts and the cuffs for them. Bring me a acelet for my sister-in-law. Yes, ma'am. The in-laws used to drain me. So I stayed away from them. But with my mother-in-law gone, I keep turning to my family. Please leave the room, so they can talk in private. Did my husband kick you out already? What did you do to Ms. Jang? Why ask me? She's your mom, so you should know better. Oh. You probably don't, because she's fake. Tell me where she is. Do you gold diggers have a special bond or something? You don't get to raise your voice here. You'll be left with nothing once my husband falls out of love. You aren't in the situation to talk big. No, you are in that situation. What will you do... if your husband doesn't come back to you even when I'm gone? Hasn't it crossed your mind? Why would I... have such an idea? I will be the gracious wife who em aces... her husband's wounded heart. The whole nation... will pay respect to my decision to keep this family. That's how this lawsuit will end. What if Chairman Kang finds out about Doctor Jung, your secret lover? Doctor Jung, where are you? I need counseling today. I'll be right there. Where are you? I need to see you, right now. (Doctor Jung) What if he even finds out that you were behind the attack... that injured the chief secretary of the Blue House? Let alone getting your husband back, will you be able to stay in this country? You got busted being a gold digger, and now you're all anxious. I will give you one day. Let Ms. Jang go by midnight tomorrow. If she returns safely, I will leave Chairman Kang. I will not step forward... to ruin your lovely garden. Remember, the condition is, you don't touch a single strand of hair on her. Jang Moon Hee, that wench. How is she? No one found out that we have her, right? She's under a tight watch. Feed her... and treat her. We might have to let her go. Please open them, you two. What's with this uncomfortable gesture? You're going through your divorce suit. What's the meaning of these gifts? We're not going to get divorced. That woman's a gold digger. Father. The 49th day of Mother's death is coming up soon. Let me join you then. This will be a natural way to show that our family is intact. Father, I will try calling Yoon Kyum. Hi, Chi Kyum. I haven't changed my mind regarding the divorce. Tell her to leave. Oh, really? I see you fell completely out of love with her. What if you end up losing that large sum of money? Are you still going to divorce her? Okay, Yoon Kyum. He said he was sure about the divorce... and that we shouldn't accept what you offer. So take these back, my ex-sister-in-law. You're counting your chickens... before they're even hatched. Did he... really say that? - Still? - You heard me talk to him. Yoon Kyum's adultery is nothing... compared to your 10-trillion-won lawsuit. What do you and your father take us for? A golden goose? You're back early. We thought you'd be back in the evening... and didn't prepare for lunch. It's okay. Bo Ram's grandma isn't feeling well, so I'll move my things today. Oh, right. The garden fence seemed loose. It might hurt the kids. Will you get it repaired now? Sure. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) This is Sun Bin's photo from when she started high school. She went by another name. Lee... La El. After my birth father died, when my mom remarried, I changed my name. Once embedded, doubt never goes away. Tell me about your love. My love is about sacrifice. You tail her and suspect her. But you say you love her. So I don't consider you my competition. That's why I'm azen. You suspect her, but you love her? I don't know. Can you do me a favor? There's a ribboned box in the vault. Can you ing it to me? Can I... go in there? Of course. I changed the code... because it's dangerous for Da Bi. I'll tell you what it is. (Deposits to the Slush Fund Account) (Documents Related to Takeover of Gediks Semiconductors) (Documents Related to Takeover of Gediks Semiconductors) Hello? I have the original Gediks contract. Tonight, I'll leave the chairman. Ms. Han. I got told off for not stopping you last time. You don't know what's about to happen. Do you want to lose your job? Move. Ms. Han. Are you Kang Yoon Kyum? Are you the man I know? This is my workplace. Keep it down. She plotted with her mom to get to you. Her mom has a grudge against us! They've been plotting to ing us down! So Ra. You've never been in love, have you? What? What on earth... (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) What are you saying? What is this if it's not love for you? I had... a million reasons I shouldn't love Sun Bin, but I overcame them all. If there's anything she needs, I can just give it to her. That's how I feel right now. You're insane. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) For your sake, you should give up too. You overcame what and will do what? It doesn't suit you! Give it up! Sir, your car's standing by. You'll regret this. You'll regret it more than anything! Honey! To think that it got cleared for redevelopment so soon. Letting you join the team was the best decision I ever made. (Zeus Project Members) Unlike when I was an assemblyman, I'm warier now. Let's wrap it up soon. I'm all for that. Are you sick? You don't look too well. There's a reason for that. I'll explain in due time. Okay. Have some tea. Thank you. LY victims? Who are they? Chief Prosecutor Ahn tipped me off. It's serious. It's a class action suit of 31, and they've been collecting proof for dozens of years. They have a lot of stuff that is irrefutable. We have a legal team to take care of cases like that. They can prove that we merged with Gediks illegally. Gediks? Do you know anything about who they are? I haven't a clue. Find out who the 31 people are. Yes, sir. (Ms. Han So Ra) Han So Ra. I leave tonight. Only if Ms. Jang is safe and well. Be sure of that. You're the one who's rushed, not me. If I don't leave soon, your husband will never get over me. Your secret lover might come to light, and you're not rushed? Nothing good will come from aggravating me. I'm telling you I'll leave voluntarily. Grabbing this opportunity... is your best chance at getting your husband back. How do they know so well about how we took over Gediks? If this gets out, the divorce suit will be useless. Since we took over Gediks illegally, we won't get a penny out of it. Jang Moon Hee? Who is this woman? Do Wan. Here's that wench's address. Go and find out... who she is. Hey. What's the matter? It's nothing. Do Wan, why won't you pick up? I need to let Jang Moon Hee go! La El. Han Pan Ro and Kim Jung Chul know about the class action suit. It'll take them less than a day to get to you and Ms. Jang. Okay. I'll call you back. Is Bo Ram's grandmother very sick? Can't you stay a little longer? We can hang out when we meet at kindergarten. This is the box the chairman asked for. I'm leaving with Bo Ram. You pass it to him for me. I'm sorry. He has something to say. He wishes to see you in person. Come with me. Let's explain to the kids about the divorce... so we can live here together. Let's start over in a new home. (Power of Attorney for Transfer of Shares) Transfer of shares? I'm a businessman through and through. This is all I can give you. Mr. Seo asked me what kind of love mine is. It jolted me awake. Even if there's something you can't tell me about, that's not a problem for me. Do you understand? Why are you crying? We'll be happy. Let's visit Buenos Aires... and tango there. Okay? (Documents Related to Takeover of Gediks Semiconductors) (Contract of Merger) (Kang Yoon Kyum, Lee Tae Jun) (Lee Tae Jun) Lee Tae Jun's... forced signature. His affidavit admitting... he was an industrial spy. With this, we'll easily win the lawsuit. Chairman Kang... gave up the safe for me. If you're hesitant, you don't have to... disclose the original contract to the public. I have never been hesitant. I won't betray my parents. But... I want to tell him everything myself. He told me... you asked him what kind of love he was in. I'm not... in any position to talk about love. I want to be honest with him just once... as the final courtesy for my feelings. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) I have to talk to you. Let's meet outside, not at your house. This is your first time asking to talk, so I'm nervous. Okay. I'll be there soon. Prosecutor Kim is calling. It's been a while. Have you been well? Association of LY's victims? I'll check on it. (Summary of Class Action Suit from Association of LY's Victims) She won't wake up because of the sleeping pills. She's a total psycho. You know? Seriously. Hey, when she wakes up, teach her a lesson. Yes, sir. What a spiteful woman. Make sure to keep the door locked. And keep an eye on her. If this goes wrong, it will be the end of us. Yes, sir. Honorary Chairman Kang Bon Geun... also found out about the class action suit. Yes. I also heard about the class action suit. Yoon Kyum, if people find out the truth behind our acquisition of Gediks, our family and LY will be ruined. A woman named Jang Moon Hee... and the daughter of Gediks's CEO organized this class action suit. If his daughter is involved, this will be a huge problem. What was her name? Jang Moon Hee? Chairman Kang. My son-in-law knows about you two. Don't cause any trouble. If you ignore my warning, you'll regret it forever. I called because I didn't want you to go against your family. I came because I was worried. But I can't give you my blessing. And I'm sure you know why... better than anyone. So Ra. You shouldn't be angry right now. How many times must I tell you I need her? Bring her here now! I said, no! We're about to go down because of this wench! What on earth is wrong with her? Gosh. She's so spiteful. I don't think she'll listen to us. Pan Ro, these are the prosecutors... who want to join the Zeus Project. Take a look. Chief Prosecutor Kwon? He almost got locked up for lobbying. How can I trust him? What is it? We've been bugged. Hey, here. Hey. Check under the sofa. Move. Sir, I found it! What? So Ra. You've never been in love, have you? What will you do... if your husband doesn't come back to you even when I'm gone? For your sake, you should give up too. How could you let them take Jang Moon Hee? Prime Minister Han and Vice Chairman Kim Jung Chul... were livid. They told me to ing her whatever it took. I must get my husband back! I won't let anyone get in my way. Understood? Let Ms. Jang go... by midnight tomorrow. I've never been in love? Love is meaningless unless you seize it. You make them yours first. What matters is to be the last winner. He's mine. Understand? Yes, ma'am. Follow me. (List of Slush Funds) The Gediks contract. What are you doing?

Hello, Chairman Kang. I thought I had just lost it. My late father gave it to me, so it means a lot to me. When we danced the tango... The tango is about sharing feelings. If you don't bet everything, the game never ends. Because this is how it feels. I'll be with you. I will stay with you. I won't run away. I want you. For the rest of my life, I, Kang Yoon Kyum, swear I will live only for you. If there is any lie to that, even if I were to lose my life, I do not fear. Can you, Kim Sun Bin, say the man standing before you... is the man you love... truthfully before the deity? Do you love me? Yes. What is all this? What have you done? How could you do this to me? Did you hack my phone? (Kang Yoon Kyum) Was it... the first time we slept together? Tell me! How could you be... so meticulous and so ruthless? To get close to me, for how long had you prepared? I thought it was money you were after. It wasn't that. This is too terrifying. Why didn't you go for something else instead? To you, I could give everything I own. For you, I could do anything. Why... did you do this to me? Did you want to crush my life? What did I do to wrong you? Why didn't you take my money and company? How could you ruin my life? - Let go! - You! You stabbed me in the heart. Let go! Don't come closer. Stay there! Why? After what you've done, you're afraid? Over this? What on earth have I done? Are you okay? Are you? I'm sorry. Get away from me! (Buenos Aires, 2011) (Family home, 2020, Kang Yoon Kyum) You're all in it together. Come clean yourself... and pay the price. No one got out of here alive. Is that true?

I don't care what you are planning to do. I just need to get my husband back. What's so funny? Have you lost your mind? Watching you up close... made me realize that you're already facing the worst punishment. Even if La El lied, she's an honest woman. Do you think... your husband will come back to someone like you? You... or your father! You don't know what it's like to have a heart. You will keep betraying each other, suffer in loneliness, and die all alone without anyone around. That will be your punishment!

Will it be okay this time? Find the truck driver from back then. I really didn't know about that. I swear. I had too much to think about, but Ms. Jang never wavered. I wondered how come.

I was shocked too! - I didn't kill her, honey. - Get your hands off me. It really wasn't me. - It was an accident. - Get your hands off me! Honey, can you look away just this once? It really was an accident, honey. I don't even want to waste my eath saying how shameless you are. I had nothing to do... with Ms. Jang's death. No. You all had a hand in this. There's only one thing you can do now. Reveal everything yourself. And pay for what you did. You should take a eak. What are you doing here, Secretary Kim? I think your dad is here. Da Bi.

(The Daughter of Lee Tae Jun, the Former Owner of Gediks) She has to be insane. No, she's a monster. (Courthouse) (Seoul District Court) It must've been a long, hard time. Thank you. Let's make this work out. Now that I got my identity back, I can claim my mother's things. The nursing home has her diary that tells what happened. Let's wait together. We will do our best to help you with whatever you need. - I'll see you at the law firm. - Sure. Let's go. Pan Ro, I'm still looking. Yes, now... Yes. Yes. No... Yes. Pan Ro, I'll try talking to her once she comes out. Yes. Just a moment. Why that... Darn it. Goodness, that little... Hey. Why this little... You just wouldn't listen. Sign it, you idiot. - Dad! - Please stop. Dad. (LY Victims Alliance) Call me, Kim Jung Chul. Let's have a private talk. Hey, you filthy little wench... Honey? Don't call me honey. It's disgusting. I'm Lee La El. You should also pay the price for selling Gediks. I'm taking legal measures against you for Bo Ram's sake. Get out of my life with the kid. What... Honey. Mr. Jang. Help me. Please call an ambulance. Mr. Jang. Your absence at the diplomatic conference... raised a lot of controversies. I heard you'd like to say a word about this yourself. The truth is, there was an illegal attack. I was attacked at night before the diplomatic conference. But you are the chief secretary of the Blue House. Who would've dared to attack you? Someone politically related? The former prime minister of Korea. The power-related corruption... that stands upon the marriage with Korea's top company. Violence, murder, illegal mergers, corrupted businesses, and countless others. I plan to punish them all. You're being too direct here. People could assume whom you're referring to. That's right. I'm accusing them... openly, and directly. The targets are a total of four people. And I'm going to make an exception for only one of them. The first suspect who stands up to whistleblow on the others. I promise in my name that the person will be exempted. Crazy scum. Those darn stupid rats. Well... Sir. What is it this time? All three law firms want to give up on the divorce suit, saying the LY Victims Alliance and the chief secretary... are too much for them to handle. Hasn't he come out yet? He hasn't had anything, even water. Give it to me. I'll ing it inside. Honey. Open the door. Honey. Honey. Honey, open the door. You need to eat something... Where are you going at this hour? Honey. (Law Firm Woonseo) (Attorneys in charge) (Law Firm Woonseo) I'll pay the fair price regarding Gediks. Let's put an end to this devastating war. Why? It's too painful. What's painful? Watching my love for you turn into a laughing stock. Attacking you in order to survive. It's too painful and dreadful. (Law Firm Woonseo) I beg you. Let's please end this now. What's so special about going on your knees? There. I'm on my knees too now. We're both kneeling, so it means nothing anymore. How is it compensation if the assailant does as they wish? A true apology is when they do what the victim wants. What do you want? Die. My mom and dad, and Ms. Jang died. You, Han So Ra, Han Pan Ro, Kim Jung Chul. We'll be equal if you all die too. I want all four dead. If anyone refuses to die, kill them all, then kill yourself. Then it will end. If you won't do that, don't come here. La El. Are you all right? This time too, you locked Jang Moon Hee up. You made Kim Jin Sook starve to death. You killed both the wenches. Han So Ra. La El. She killed my mother. Did she send her husband to talk to me... while she waited outside? It wasn't a true apology. I'll kill them. I'll kill them all! La El. What are you doing here? Why did you come here? You don't have to beg her. Will you pull yourself together? You made LY Group the world's number one company. This kind of crisis is nothing to you! We can get over it if we work together. Why did you do it? Why did you do it, So Ra? Tell me. You already had honor and money. You had it all. If I didn't take Gediks, you wouldn't have married me. I did it out of love for you. Even now, you're all I have. Honey. That's not love. I'd rather... you let me go now. That's the only thing I want. You wanted Gediks! You were ambitious! We knew that and that's why Dad and I got blood on our hands. We did it for your sake. Why are you complaining now? You gained much more from it than we did! However much you want her, you and La El will be enemies forever. Die. You, Han So Ra, Han Pan Ro, Kim Jung Chul. We'll be equal if you all die too. I want all four dead. If anyone refuses to die, kill them all, then kill yourself. Then it will end. You and I share a fate. Are you listening to me? Are you? Honey! I asked if you were listening to me. She'll take you down if you let her be. It's our fate to work together and get her! I had... just one wish. Even if our love wasn't meant to be, I hoped... she'd remember me fondly. Don't listen, La El. You must not. We wanted to love, but we were unable to just love. That was our tragedy. - Did you ever... - Is it true that you were... - the chairman's lover? - love me? It looks like Han So Ra might take the fall for murder. The police were tipped off? By So Ra? Get out! If I must really die... Pay for it with your life! I'll do it. The chairman left all his shares and authority to Ms. Lee La El. The chairman can't be reached? Where is my husband? I need him right now. Ripped and resynced by YoungJedi
(Seo Yea Ji) (Park Byung Eun) (Yoo Sun) (Lee Sang Yeob) (This drama is fiction and people, places, organizations,) (incidents, groups, and settings are not based on reality.) Are you okay? Your complicated feelings for Chairman Kang. I get it. Let's quickly wrap this up. Then you'll find a way, whatever it may be. I have a plan with which we can take them down at once. Deciding to pardon just one person. I used the suspects' dilemma. You make the suspects... doubt each other. Kang Yoon Kyum, Han Pan Ro, Han So Ra, Kim Jung Chul. We know the dynamics between them all too well. Let's make them tear each other apart. Greed is a trap. They'll fall for it. And you. You lost a lot of weight. Did you dream of a future... once this is all over? I never thought about that. It will be over soon. You should start thinking about it. A future? What could there be? What about you? I want to... cook you a nice meal at home. Ordinary everyday life... is what means most to us. Chairman Kang will attend the trial? Are you sure? A company chairman has never attended an ordinary person's trial. LY Group has been turned upside-down. Kang Yoon Kyum told the prosecution of his willingness to attend. If that's the case, he wants to be photographed. What could it be? Does he want to use the media to manipulate the trial? Or will he flaunt his presence... to put pressure on the prosecution? What could he be thinking? Tell him to attend. Whatever he does, he can't beat someone who's fighting to the death. (Episode 15) (Courthouse) Why are you here in person? Is Lee La El the head of Future Strategy and Planning? - Any comments? - What can you tell us? - Anything, sir? - Comments? It's Lee La El! - It's Lee La El. - Any comments? - Sir? - Can you tell us anything? - Chairman! - What are you planning? Is it true that you were the chairman's lover? - What do you say? - Ms. Lee? Any comments? - Were you in love? - Did you date him? Is it true you were lovers? Please, answer the question. Ms. Lee. Can we hear your side of the story? Do you have anything to say about it? Is everything true about the rumor? Can you confirm if the story is true? Is it all true? Ms. Lee. LY Group's chairman will be present in court. Will that change any of the charges? Yes. I will disclose an additional charge that will be added. Kang Yoon Kyum, Han Pan Ro, Han So Ra, and Kim Jung Chul. I'm going to hold them responsible for Article 120 of the Penal Code, the murder charge. - What? Murder? - Murder? Hey, disclosing an accusation without proof violates... the presumption of innocence. They tortured my father whose name was Lee Tae Jun, the CEO of Gediks. And they stole the company from him. Kim Jung Chul was the principal culprit of the act. The act was instigated by Han Pan Ro, Han So Ra, and Kang Yoon Kyum. The murder was planned. Chairman Kang, is her accusation true? Chairman Kang, did you know that you may be facing a criminal trial? Chairman Kang, what's your statement? - Ms. Lee! - Ma'am! - One more comment! - Hold on! A comment, please! - Ms. Lee! - Ms. Lee! - Hold on. Ms. Lee. - A comment! - One more comment! - Please give us your statement! - Did you know about this? - Ms. Lee! - Sir, can you clarify that? - Chairman Kang! - Sir! - Chairman Kang! Were you aware of this? - Did you know about this? - Sir! - Sir! - Chairman Kang! It's a severe case of complex comminuted fractures. So his nerves and muscles were damaged. We did the surgery again, but peroneal nerves were paralyzed. So it's highly likely that the damage may be permanent. Permanent? Gosh, my leg! Pan Ro! What am I going to do with my leg now, Pan Ro? I won't be able to walk straight anymore! Why must I face this kind of injury? Let's find a way. Calm down. How could I calm down? My perfectly fine leg was shattered! I can't live with this kind of injustice! Can you also eak Lee La El's legs? Please, Pan Ro! Sir, there's a problem. Lee La El mentioned your names on a murder charge at court. Your name, your daughter's name, and Vice Chairman Kim's as well. Gosh. That lunatic! Did you hear that? On top of that, Chairman Kang appeared at the courthouse. Why did that jerk go there? I've been trying to handle this under the table. Why? Call my legal team now! Where are you going, Pan Ro? What about me? And my leg? You're going to destroy Lee La El, right? Unbelievable. Shut your mouth. Just get the treatment! That fool, Kang Yoon Kyum. Pan Ro! Lee La El, the representative of LY's victims and the petitioner, raised these charges against the defendant, Kang Yoon Kyum. The civil and criminal lawsuits will proceed simultaneously. Based on the ruling of the criminal trial, the range of compensation will be set. To set the amount for compensation, we must wait for the ruling of the criminal trial. (Bench) Ms. Lee. Do you consent? I would like to submit additional evidence to prove their crime. Even so, we must wait for the ruling of the criminal trial. His attendance in court is working in his favor. I think the judge is trying to give him time. Regardless of the ruling from the criminal trial, I will comply with Ms. Lee's demand and settle. - What? - He'll settle? Sir, if you do that, it won't help our case. Mr. Kang. I don't think your counsel is on the same page. Could you repeat that? I will settle with Ms. Lee. If you are willing to settle, we can mediate. Ms. Lee, will you accept his offer? Could he have an ulterior motive? I will accept it. Great. We will set a date for your mediation. Sir, you don't have to settle. If you settle, you won't be able to handle the criminal trial later. I'll take care of it. (Witness) Kang Yoon Kyum, Han Pan Ro, Han So Ra, and Kim Jung Chul. I'm going to hold them responsible for murder. What are they doing? Why are they still together even at the courthouse? Are there magnets in their bodies? Ms. Han. Your name was mentioned, relevant to the murder charge... That's strong liquor. You could really put yourself in danger. I've done everything to separate them, but none of it worked. Are they twins? Will they only be separated in death? Is that it? (Doctor Jung) How come my dad isn't doing anything? Why is he letting Lee La El make these ridiculous accusations? This is so frustrating. Do Wan. Come to the studio. Yes, Ms. Han. Why are you here? How did you know? How did you get in here? After everything that's happened, you still haven't realized that... I know everything about you? It took me 13 years to prepare... for this. Get out of here right now. Sit down. It's not easy to ing down my family. You will never get away with this. Kim Jung Chul has a disability now. Han Pan Ro already started... to figure out a way to weasel his way out alone. Chairman Kang is trying to stay on my good side to survive this. You saw that, didn't you? Only you seem to be stuck in your own world... without a plan. It looks like... you'll end up taking the fall alone for the murder charge. You will run out of places to go. No one is around you to take care of you. You will crumble away in no time. What will you do? That's absurd. It's great that we have things in common. We know that... fear is scarier... when it's nearing us, not when it's right under our noses. Fear isn't the worst when you're faced with it. True fear is knowing... you're about to be overcome. I understand that you have your desires. You shouldn't have made enemies. Extreme fury... seems to blur away the piercing pain on your own flesh. My parents and I shed blood. Now, you and your family will shed blood. I'm going to scatter the blood on my father's grave... to let him know of your death. Until the whole world is covered in your blood, let's continue. (Lee Tae Jun rests here.) Dad. Mr. Lee. I'm deeply sorry I couldn't prove your innocence for a long time. It's almost over, so please wait a bit longer. And don't worry too much about La El. I will be with her until the end. About the trial, you'll have to face Mr. Kang alone during the mediation. Will you be okay? I have to go through with it. Right. (Courthouse) (The 418th Courtroom, The 419th Courtroom) Aside from the lawsuit filed by LY Victims Alliance, this mediation is about possible compensation... for the damages caused to the plaintiff's parents, Lee Tae Jun and Kim Jin Sook. Is it correct, Ms. Lee? Correct. (Conciliation Judge) And you're willing to make a settlement, Mr. Kang. That's right. Along with Mr. Kang, you've filed a suit... against Han So Ra, Han Pan Ro, and Kim Jung Chul. The problem is that the three of them have no intention of settling. I'll persuade them. Their attorney claims that... most of the evidence you've submitted... was collected illegally, and thus, cannot hold legal force. It's true you used illegal means... to collect the evidence. Identity theft, personal information eaches, illegal recordings, and others. The evidence cannot be used for the suit. You got all that info through illegal approaches. I lost my parents at the age of 15. I had nothing under my name. No one listened to me. It was the only way to reveal the truth. I was just a little girl who had no choice whatsoever. I couldn't afford to have a sense of justice. (Conciliation Judge) And... not everything was a lie. Ms. Lee. Of the damages you claim, your mother went missing. Her death hasn't been confirmed yet. The criminal investigation is being held to reveal it. But the case hasn't been ruled yet. That makes it hard to come to a settlement. I'd like... to quickly come to an agreement at least with this trial... as a way... to apologize to the plaintiff. Therefore, I will assume that her claims are valid... and agree to settle. Even when there is no evidence to prove... that Kim Jin Sook is dead? Once I receive my mother's belongings, I'll submit them as evidence to prove her death. I doubt... that can prove her death. One's intention to settle is important for mediation. I will check them myself. Good. Then I will see you next time. If not everything was a lie, then what wasn't a lie? Is it important? Would it affect the settlement? I'll be going. I need to hurry and submit my mother's belongings. I'll check them myself. That way, you can skip the paperwork. Let me go with you. I'll check this part and get back to you. - Sure. - Right. (Kim Hyun Chul) Hi, Hyun Chul. Go ahead. They have informed me... that they can't hand over La El's mother's things. Han Pan Ro made an issue out of La El's fake identity. What do you mean? I'm sorry, but I can't let you take her items. Mr. Han Pan Ro suddenly raised a legal problem. The supervisory institution has taken them instead. The public law center authorized me. We're discussing what to do about this too. If you'd wait a moment, I'll get back to you. Why are you still wearing the ring? I haven't had a chance to take it off. When you found out about me. That was your chance. I put it on my finger because I love you. I'll take it off when I fall out of love. Hatred doesn't mean... I don't love you anymore. No? Can you answer me one thing? I believed in twin flames. I saw the resemblance of me from your pain. Even in this situation, I felt a connection between us. Was there even a single moment... when you were true to me? Twin flames can communicate even without saying anything. Especially at moments of life and death, they transcend time and space to find each other. That can't be us. I approached you to ing you down. Would fate play a part in that? Chief Secretary Seo. I apologize. I didn't think you'd come in person. These papers prove Lee La El is the legitimate heir. The paperwork is flawless, so why won't the authority give permission? It's because... Han Pan Ro complained. I have no power or say in it. Do you do things... with power and not principle? Shall I do that too? We got the final go-ahead. The flash drive contains your mother's last video. (Personal Belongings, Kim Jin Sook) (Personal Belongings, Kim Jin Sook) (I protested on my own again today.) I protested on my own again today. Kang Yoon Kyum came to work. (Gediks Semiconductors) (Investigate Lee Tae Jun's unlawful death!) Han Pan Ro and Kim Jung Chul came and went. Seeing them smile and talk... pains me to death. Don't just stand there. Get rid of her. (Gediks Semiconductors) No. I'm abused every day, and no one listens to me, but if I don't even do this, I can't go on. Being alive... is worse than purgatory. (To La El) Anorexia? Self-harming? How did you end up like that? My heart eaks for you. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. Forget the memories of your dad being tortured, La El. You can't live with that on your mind. I will bear the burden, so you forget about it. They must be the happiest couple in all of Korea. We're outside Han So Ra's home. She will marry the heir to LY Group... that just became a huge company after taking over... Gediks Semiconductors. (Will LY go from 30th to one of the largest companies?) You evil scumbags! Get her up. You scumbags. How could you take someone's life... and make a living out of it? You'll pay for it! Kang Yoon Kyum. Han Pan Ro. Murderers! Burn in a pit of fire! Because of me... you lived in such pain. I had no idea. You were so young then. I can't even ask for forgiveness. I'm so sorry. Yes. Pay for it with your life! I'll do anything. If I must really die... I'll do it. Wait in the car. Mr. Seo. What should I do now? Tell me. I concede to the charges ought up by the LY Victims Alliance. Gediks Semiconductors was a company we wished to buy out. We offered a deal 13 years ago that was turned down, and there was a conspiracy to take the company by force. In the process, Gediks' CEO Lee Tae Jun... unfortunately lost his life. He died of wounds caused by torture, and it was a premeditated murder. The deaths of his wife Kim Jin Sook and of Jang Moon Hee... are related. I believe an investigation must be launched. Get out here, Yoon Kyum! Show yourself! He's not here. I know he's upstairs! Get out here! I don't know where he is. Take them outside. - Don't you know who I am? - You can't do this here. I'm not here to see you. Kang Yoon Kyum, come down here! Come over here! In the process, Gediks' CEO Lee Tae Jun... unfortunately lost his life. He died of wounds caused by torture, and it was a premeditated murder. What? Premeditated murder? That means he's targeting me. That punk. I'm no pushover. Is everyone after me now? Pan Ro, did you see the news? - What... - Darn you! Keep your piehole shut! Pan Ro? Darn it. Who's here? The police. They're here to question you. After the chairman's press conference, murder charges for Jang Moon Hee and Kim Jin Sook were added. Say I have no idea. Why me? I did nothing wrong. Someone sent the police a recording... that incriminates you. The police chief who is our ally told me. (Voice Recording) You will keep betraying each other, suffer in loneliness, and die all alone without anyone around. That will be your punishment! This time too, you locked Jang Moon Hee up. You made Kim Jin Sook starve to death. You killed both the wenches. That wench knows that I have her. - If my husband finds out... - Put her down. Ma'am. The police are still outside. What should I do? Tell them I'm not in! Okay. My husband. Where is he? Call him. Ask him what I should do. The chairman... disappeared after the press conference. No one knows where he is. His secretaries are in a panic. Who sent the police this recording? Who got this and how? (Bo Ram's mom) The recording the police got. Isn't it quite something? It was edited to make you look guilty. Do you know who did it? Han Pan Ro made a deal with me. In return for handing you over, he wants to be pardoned. After all I did for you, how dare you put me in this trouble? Just like your mother, you have no worth living. You've gone blinded by one man. Only you seem to be stuck in your own world without a plan. You will run out of places to go. No one is around you to take care of you. You will crumble away in no time. It looks like... you'll end up taking the fall alone for the murder charge. I won't believe a word out of your mouth. The truck driver, whom you and Kim Jung Chul asked to dispose of the bodies, will comply with a subpoena by the prosecution. Even your husband didn't love you. Your own father abandoned you now. You will die alone. No one will sympathize with you. Do Wan. I just heard from Lee La El. Did my father... really betray me? Ms. Han. Your father has been talking to the prosecutor... that you were the one who instigated everything. He said if one person took the fall, the sentence would be lighter. (Doctor Jung) I knew that Han So Ra's lover wouldn't be anyone of significance. And there was no twist either. Moon Do Wan. Chief Secretary Seo. I'm sorry. Please forgive me! I have a sick mother. I just needed money. Please. Please forgive me. I'm sorry. How could I forgive a man who tried to kill me? You shouldn't be asking for forgiveness. Think about what you can do for us. (Law Firm Woonseo) This won't be enough evidence. The photos of the cell... She gave these photos to the police? So Ra did that? Yes. Darn it. I ought to teach that useless girl a lesson. That at. Sir! You can't do this to Ms. Han. She's your daughter! How dare you interfere? Get out of my way! Dad! You at. Did you betray me? Did you sell me off, so you could save yourself? I'm glad you're here. Did you give them the photos of the basement cell? Who do you think is responsible for ruining my life? It's all your fault! Everything is ruined because of you! Dad. Stop! Ms. Han! Ms. Han. You should stop this. If you take this further, I'll be as good as dead too. I told you to shut your mouth! If we let him go, your life would be the least of your worries. He will kill me first. Hurry! Lock it. Lock it! Hey, open it. Is that you, So Ra? Hey. Open... I won't let you hurt me like Mom. I'm not that little girl... who can't stand up to you anymore! I got it. Just open the door. Get a grip. Come here. Open it. I'll be away because people keep coming here... because of the lawsuits. You're all on vacation. Don't come back until I call you back. - Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am. You can leave now. What about your father? Didn't you hear me? Get out. If you do anything stupid, you'll end up just like him. Got it? Yes, ma'am. Chairman Kang has never been unreachable for this long. Should I report him missing to the police? Chairman Kang can't be reached? (Law Firm Woonseo) We found this message on his computer. It kind of looks like a suicide note. He resigned from his position too. I knew I shouldn't come here to ask you, but I had no choice. I wish to resign from my position... and put everything behind. Everything is crumbling all together at once. I feel devastated, but this is all my fault. There's no way... to make up for those who suffered because of me. So I've decided to take sole responsibility. Die. If anyone refuses to die, kill them all, then kill yourself. Then it will end. Pay for it with your life! If I must really die... I'll do it. Do you have any idea? (Kim Jin Sook) We demanded a confession, and he chose to disappear. (Kim Jin Sook) Maybe he decided to pay the price. It's a good thing. (Secretary Cha) The Legal Team has told me... that the chairman wrote a will about bequeathing... all his authority and shares to you... and leaving his personal fortune to Miss Da Bi. The task team will be in charge until she becomes an adult. I keep getting bad feelings. (Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum) The phone is turned off. You'll be directed to voicemail after the beep. Extra fees will be charged. I told him... to die. To die and pay the price. If he's found dead, the responsibility will be on me. I was so cruel to him. It was wrong of me. Chairman Kang isn't that weak. We'll find him. Don't worry. Have you heard the term twin flame? Like twins that emerged from one soul, the lovers recognize each other the second they met. Whatever happens, the twin flames are bound to find each other. Twin flames can find each other... at moments of life and death. (Straight and Left Turn) If I must really die... I'll do it. Fate ought us together. I fell madly in love with you for all the similarities between us. You understood me, and I could show myself to you. I can't live without you now. I love you. Chairman Kang? Chairman Kang. What are you doing here? I was terrified... something might have happened to you. I didn't mean... what I said. I shouldn't have said that. I... I... (Prime Minister Han Pan Ro) The person you have called cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail. Darn, he's not even answering his phone? Unbelievable. - Oh, my. Sir, stop it. - Move! You stop, darn wench. After all that he made me do, he's treating me like a pushover now? What does he take me for? He got me all wrong! Secretary Cha, Where's my husband? I need him badly right now. Without him, I might lose myself. Please let me... He's unable to be reached. Mr. Seo even reported him missing. Honey. (Secretary Kim) Ma'am. We found the chairman. Where is he? At the holiday home. But... But what? The groundskeeper said she was with him. Pan Ro! Pan Ro! Pan Ro! Show yourself! You can't treat me like this! Pan Ro! Come on out! Where's your dad? He treats me like some pushover! I can't stand it anymore. My dad sold everything and fled a oad. Darn it. Now it's just us two. If we don't get Lee La El, we take the fall for everything. Lee La El! I'm coming for you! The CCTV system found Chairman Kang's car. I think La El's with him. There's a problem. What is it? Near the holiday home... is a company car. Do you have a wish? I want to feel no fury. I can't find Da Bi! Da Bi! No. I think La El has been abducted. Check surveillance near the holiday home. Stop the car! What about you? I want to love... the person I love to no end.

Sir Harold. What is it? - There's someone in my flat. Your husband? Where is he? - Leo is away. I'm frightened. I heard someone move about. Stay here. Sir Harold? Everything is alright. No-one? - No-one. I am so sorry. - Not at all. Are you all alone here? - Yes. Leo is away in Stockholm on business. - Doesn't your maid sleep here? Paula? No, she has a place of her own. Well, I've looked in all the cupboards and under the beds. You're quite safe. Goodnight. Steady. You'd better sit down. I feel most peculiar. What you need is a andy. Delayed reaction. I was just about to go to bed. I came into the room to get a book. I thought I heard somebody. I am afraid I panicked. I'm not used to being here alone. Drink it up. Good for the nerves. You must think me very stupid. Not at all. Admit it, Sir Harold. Women can be terribly foolish can't they. Paula. I didn't mean to disturb you, madam. I have come back for my purse. Will she say anything? - I don't know. If she tells Leo. Another bull. Good shooting. Would you like to try again? - I think I should practice in private. Any time you want to borrow it. - No thank you, Leo. I hate to waste your precious ammunition. Don't worry. I have quite a good stock. They're difficult to handle, aren't they. Yes. I'm afraid that since I had the new silencers fitted they .. The whole balance has changed. - But now the neighbours don't complain. You're right, you know. You really should practice. I was only joking. But it's a skill that you might need. If you become involved in an affair of honour. I'd rather rely on my skill as a barrister. But if it concerns the reputation of a woman .. Oh Leo. Hello darling. I was just telling Sir Harold that he should become an expert duellist. Whatever for? It might be useful if he ever becomes involved in an affair of honour. For your sake I would gladly shoot anyone. And I'm sure Sir Harold would to the same for his charming fiancée. Miss Ursula Clandon, sir. Hello, darling. Is it lunchtime already? My kind of lunchtime. - Where are we going? The Savoy. And shopping. Then we must discuss the wedding arrangements. But I .. I can't. I have a committee at the house. - Must you go? It is rather important. - More important than our wedding? Sweetheart, I love you very much but .. Excuse me. Diggins, I don't want any more calls. It's Mrs Hagen, Sir. - Oh. Alright then. Sorry. An important client. Harold, you must make it this afternoon or .. Yes. Harold Trevitt speaking. Harold. She says she'll tell Leo. Unless I pay her Ł5,000. I see. What about tomorrow? - What? Oh yes. Well. You'd better let me have all the facts. When can we meet? How about six-thirty? Alright. Where? The Café Moran, Barclay Place? Right. I will meet you there. Goodbye. Sorry about that. It's a case I may have to defend. What sort of case? Blackmail. I have decided you must pay me Ł5,000. Or. I'll tell your husband about Sir Harold. And what did you say? I didn't say anything. I couldn't. I couldn't believe it. I just stared at her and then she said it again. I waited until she'd gone to do the shopping. Then I phoned you. - And this afternoon? Leo came home. Paula was there but we didn't say anything about it. We couldn't. But you think she meant it? - Yes. Shall I call the police? No. Let's consider the possibilities. Your husband is coming in. But he hates this place. Hello darling. Good evening, Sir Harold. Hello, hello, hello. Have we caught you two out? Leo, I was just telling Harold you hated this place. I told Charles that you were at a party at the Harrabin. All very strange. I was on my way there. - Don't make explanations. You know how I hate them. Especially in front of Charles. Quite right. You never know how I may use them in my column tomorrow. Will you excuse us please? I've something to talk to Charles about. Be good. I thought we were safe here. Never mind that now. Your husband has seen us together and so has that gossip Pinder. But Harold, what am I going to do? I need hardly tell you that the kiss was entirely .. Accidental? I was going to say entirely innocent. No doubt. But the result is the lady is in a very bad jam. Exactly. And you want to get her out of it. - Naturally. Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions? Go ahead. The first question, Sir Harold. As it's entirely innocent, why not go to her husband and explain the whole thing? Her husband is a very jealous man. And he wouldn't believe you? - I don't think he would. Alright. Next question. The lady suggested you went to the police. Why not? For her sake I want to settle the affair as quietly as possible. No, Sir Harold. Not for her sake. For your own. Mr Durran. I've heard of you as a first-class private detective. So I've been told. - I ask you to help me. Now let's start with the truth. The reasons for your actions are as follows. You're a very rich man. A Queen's Counsel and an MP. You have hopes of political advancement. Attorney General. Lord Chancellor. The lot. You're about to marry the daughter of Lord Clandon. Who's the most influential man in your party. So the one man in England who can't afford the eath of scandal is you. Correct? Quite correct. The lady may be in a jam but you are in a worse one. Mr Durran. I will pay you a very high fee. You will pay my normal charges. How do you propose to start? Blackmail is a profession. This woman has probably done it before. I want information about her. As much as I can get. And Suzy. Start a new file called 'Paula Blair'. Paula .. what did you say? B-l-a-i-r. Blair. Scotland Yard? Chief Inspector Waveney please. What do I put? In the file? - Nothing. Yet. Hello Waveney? It's John Durran here. Yes. Look, in return for past favours and under the old pal's act. Can you give me anything on a woman called Blair? Paula Blair. More champagne. Marvellous. Ursula? A journalist never refuses. Thank you, Paula. As I was saying. You can expect the worst from us. I've been ushing up on my stock of clichés already. The ide looked radiant. As of course you will. - Wedding of the year? Well, won't it be? No thanks. I'm on a diet. Marvellous party, Leo. I cele ate my neighbour's good fortune. Where is the lucky neighbour? Oh yes. Talking politics to daddy as usual. Thank you. No. Rafe hasn't got your staying power. Don't worry about him, Harold. He's not in the running. I'm glad you think so. - I promise you this though. So long as .. what's the expression? I like to keep my slang up to date. Yes. So long as you keep your nose clean. Can I speak to you? - Yes. Sorry, Lord Clandon. May I take him for a moment? Yes. Of course. Did you see the detective? Yes. He starts on the case straight away. It's urgent now. She wants the money by tomorrow night. Delay her as long as you can. Harold, let's go to Scotland Yard. - No. She will tell Leo. I tell you she is .. Champagne, madame? Sir Harold? - No thank you. Why are you spying on me? - I'm offering you your own champagne. Now get out. You are sacked. A small paragraph for tomorrow morning, don't you think? Knights idge 5391. Harold? It's Maxine. I am sorry to bother you. Yes. I have read it. I know I behaved like a fool last night but .. It's Paula. She's just phoned again. She says she wants the money by tonight or she'll tell Leo. So. You've decided to pay up? Unless you've discovered something. I haven't. There hasn't been time. Then I've no choice in the matter. I am a luxury, Sir Harold. For people who can afford me but can't go to the police. If you send me your account I'll .. - What for? I haven't done anything. Can you tell me, who is actually going to pay the Ł5,000? Mrs Hagen is a wealthy woman but she can hardly find that sum of money. Without her husband getting to know and asking awkward questions. In other words, you are going to pay. When are you going to hand it over? - Why? I think I'll stay on the case a little longer. What do you think you can do? - I don't know. Can I be the one to give the money to .. whatsername .. Mrs Hagen? Pick it up in a moment or two and put it in your handbag. I don't want to give it to her. Trevitt says you've got to. I want her to be caught. I want her to go to jail. I sympathise. But do as I say and put it in your bag. Now, shall we seem to be having a more gay social conversation? Where do you go on from here? I thought I would drop by and see dear Paula. I'll be going along there a moment or two after you. Oh? Is she expecting you? No. That's half the fun. Don't you think? Well, I must fly. - Must you? I'll see you again. Very soon. Goodbye. - Goodbye. And don't forget what I told you. If that's how you see it, perhaps you'd better go. Goodnight then, madame. And thank you for calling. You won't mind if I don't see you downstairs? Shut the door, Miss Blair. I am your next visitor. Who are you? - John Durran. I am a private detective. Well? - Mrs Hagen just left you. Yes. Where's the money she gave you? Would you like to leave quietly? Or shall I call the police? Call the police. They can help me find the money. What makes you think that woman would give me money? She came here to apologise for sacking me. And asked me if I'd like to come back. I told her to go to hell. I can get better jobs than that any day. I don't think you quite understand the situation, Miss Blair. Don't I? I've been finding out facts about you. Three months with the Hagens. Before that New York, Paris, Rome. I like to move around. I think you have to. I specialise in blackmail cases but I've a friend who's a greater specialist. Inspector Waveney of Scotland Yard. - So? I asked him to check on you. - And? And also to check on what happened to the families you worked with before. They gave me good references. Really? I've had enough. Miss Blair. Give that money back. Leave the country tomorrow. Who are you working for? That woman? I have a surprise for you, Paula. I am working for her husband. Hagen is a clever man. He's had me tailing his wife. It is something I've seen a hundred times before. But curiously, Leo Hagen loves her. If she's been a little indiscreet he doesn't want to know. He just wants me to get you off her back. Goodnight, Mr Durran. It's your last chance, Paula. No thank you. Clever Mr Durran. Darling. Leo. There's no way he can find out? I shouldn't think so. I don't mind betting that our clever Mr Durran .. Has never had a case before of a man blackmailing own wife. But what if he does check? Then you, my love, might be in for a great deal of trouble. Alright. Don't go on about it. I get the general situation. You got yourself in a jam and you come running to me for help. Under the old pals act. Sergeant Holt. How many times to date has he used that phrase? It's in three figures by now, sir. You're young. You've not known him as long as me. Now look. Jimmy. Christian names now. Find him a chair, Sergeant. Excuse the mess. I'm camping out in here while my office is redecorated. I was bluffing this woman and I was winning. Then suddenly something went wrong. Suddenly she'd won and I had lost. And I don't know what went wrong. Well? I don't like losing. So what are you going to do? I am going to get Paula Blair and I hope you are going to help me. Under that well-known act, eh? Sergeant, Show him the file. Not much in it I'm afraid. It might give you an idea. Yes. Yes. It does. Thank you very much. I'll do the same for you sometime. Where are you going? You will never believe this. I am going to see my MP. How did you find this out? - I have friends. The police? Sir Harold told me not to go to the police. If I had known .. - You'd not have engaged Paula. How in fact did you engage her? I advertised in The Times. Tell me something, Durran. If she's known as a blackmailer, why .. - Suspected to be. But never caught. For one simple reason. None of her victims will ever go to the police. She has an accomplice? I gather she always operates with one. He's the ains of the organisation. I imagine he's the one who chose you, Mrs Hagen. But why me? - You're a likely victim. You're rich, fashionable, gay. Your husband goes away on business. Just a minute, Durran. Are you suggesting .. Sorry, but that's the way they see it. Now Paula Blair is very confident of herself at present. If I can just find out who the accomplice is. Then maybe we can beat her. No-one has any idea who it may be? She's never mentioned a boyfriend, a husband or a other? Pity. I don't understand. She's been paid. She got what she asked for. That's just the first instalment. You never finish paying a blackmailer. When are you getting married? Three weeks tomorrow, isn't it? Yes. My guess is we can expect the next demand any day now. Thank you, Ursula. Charles Pinder isn't the nicest man in the world but his column is widely read. That's the important thing. No thank you. I'm not sure I want all this publicity. You're a politician. You can't avoid it. What's wrong? You always adored him. Pinder is doing a big piece about you two anyway. All we want is for him to link it with .. What do they call it? - A leak. Well, a rumour. You know. Headleigh is resigning and you're hotly tipped for the job. That's probably him now. Excuse me. Good afternoon, Mr Pinder. - Afternoon, Harris. Hello Charles. How nice of you to come. Not at all. I'm sure I'll go home with something for Pinder's paragraphs. Come in. I think you know everyone. - Indeed. Tea, Mr Pinder? Let me get you a drink. Telephone Hello? Yes. He is. Who's speaking? Harold. It's for you. Thank you, darling. Who is it? - She wouldn't say. Thank you. I think I can guess who it is. Harold Trevitt here. Maxine. Paula just rang me. She said she wants another Ł5,000 by tomorrow. So. She wants another Ł5,000. It's working out just as I said it would. In a week's time she'll want another. On the night before your wedding she'll want another. The only limit is how much money you have got. I think they've checked on that pretty carefully. You've joined a good company, Sir Harold. The wealthy men of this country who are being milked morning and night. Because they haven't the guts to face a public scandal. There's another thing we can be certain of. This whole thing isn't aimed at Mrs Hagen. It's aimed at you. How long have you been in your present flat? Ten years. - The Hagens only a few months? They had another maid first and then Paula came. Shortly after the announcement of your engagement to the honourable Ursula. Yes. She took the job to be across the landing from you. A good position to spy on you. - She can't possibly have known. Every man does something silly at some time or other. Blackmailers are patient people. This woman Paula says she wants the money tomorrow night. Tell her I'll come to her place at .. ten o'clock. I can't get there any sooner. I have to speak at a meeting at Caxton hall. I want you to be there too. Alright. I'll meet you in the alley opposite her house. Very well. Are you going to pay her the money? No. Good morning. - Morning, Leo. Come in. Join me for coffee. I am afraid that lazy girl Maxine hasn't got up yet. No thanks. I am in rather a hurry. I'm off to the country tomorrow and thought I may not catch you. What can I do for you? - You've mentioned it before. I wondered if I could borrow one of your pistols. With the greatest pleasure. Here. For a little private practice? - Yes. Not that one. That's my personal one. You take this one. It's just as good. I wonder if it will fit in. Yes. And here are .. The cleaning materials. And some ammunition. Good hunting. Thank you. Durran. Well? I got here a few minutes early. I decided not to wait. When I came up the door was half open. - You found her like that? That's more than ten minutes ago. What have you been doing since? I thought I heard people on the stairs. I was afraid to go out. I thought I might be seen. She's been dead for some time I reckon. You had better leave now. Quick. I have done something damned stupid. - What? I had better tell you now. I borrowed a pistol this morning. I was to use it to try and scare her. You're a bigger fool than I thought. Where is the pistol? Here. Alright. I believe you. It has not been fired. Who did you borrow this work of art from? Leo Hagen. Who are you phoning? Leo Hagen. You may need an alibi. Where have you been? I went to the meeting at eight. Left about 9:30 and came straight here. Car? - Parked round the corner. Driver? - I drove myself. Where do you usually go at this time of night? Home or the club. Go to your club. Act as if nothing has happened. Have you got everything? - Yes. You have worn those gloves all the time? Yes. Off you go. Mrs Waveney? It's John Durran here. Can I speak to your husband please? I don't care if it is his favourite program. Alright. Let's hear the rest of it. - I told you. You paid a call on Miss Blair. An attractive girl. - You found her dead. So you called me. You know I did. - What happened to the old pals act? I could have called any policeman. I did you a favour. Thanks. Who was Miss Blair blackmailing? - Actually she was between jobs. If you withhold information from the police .. All you have to do is prove it. Have you finished with me now? 9:30 tomorrow morning in my office. See you. My name is Durran. I am a private detective. Can I talk to you? It's rather late unless it's something urgent. Paula Blair is dead. Would you find that urgent? How did she die? A road accident? She has been murdered. - Leo. Who was at the .. Darling, this is Mr Durran. Mr Durran, this is my wife. - Good evening, Mrs Hagen. How do you do. Mr Durran has called to tell us that Paula has been murdered. What? I do think that it could have been left until the morning papers. She wasn't a great success as a maid. That's hardly surprising. Her real profession was blackmail. Blackmail? Her technique was to take a job with a wealthy family. Find out something about the husband or wife. Then her accomplice moved in and put the screws on. An accomplice? Are you sure? - Yes. She had a partner. They've tried this trick in several countries. You astonish me, Mr Durran. Mrs Hagen. - Yes? You haven't been married very long. Five months last Tuesday. Before that I believe you lived aboard. Would you tell me in which countries? Excuse me. It seems to the night for unexpected guests. What are you trying to do? Mr Hagen? - Yes. We're from Scotland Yard. We'd like to come in and talk to you please. I can see I don't have to explain why I am here. Yes. Mr Durran was kind enough to come and tell us about it. Yes. He would be, wouldn't he. Mr Hagen, what have you been doing all evening? I met a friend called Charles Pinder. Ah yes, Charles Pinder. - For a drink at the Catamaran Club. We left at about 8 o'clock. 8 o'clock. - Then I came home for dinner. Why? Mrs Hagen, what about you? I have been in all evening. - Alone? Until Leo came home. What time was that? I'm afraid I didn't look at the clock. Mr Hagen, have you any firearms here? An old duelling pistol. May I see it please? Please sit down. With modern improvements I see. For the sake of the neighbours. Do you mind if I take it with me? - As long as I have it back. Of course. I'll take care of it. - My favourite pistol. Since I bought it nobody but me has ever used it. I understand your concern. Mr Hagen, isn't it .. - I know what you will say. That usually pistols of this sort come in pairs. That is quite right. I had the twin of this one until quite recently. What happened to it? It disappeared. Just about the time that Paula was sacked. Somebody stole it. I think probably she did. Ballistics have checked it. It's smooth bore. All they can tell us is that Paula Blair was killed with this pistol .. Or its twin other. There are others like this. Do you know of any others fitted with silencers? Look, Jimmy. - Wait a minute. Let me talk. How exactly does Leo Hagen fit into this? I imagine he was Paula's partner in the blackmail racket. I imagine that too. Go on, surprise me. Tell me something I don't know. I imagine he killed her. - Yes. But why? Was she blackmailing him for a change? Or was she afraid of being found out? I just don't know. You mean to say I have to stick to the humdrum routine of a police officer? Instead of the illiant intuitions of a private eye? A couple of things bother me. Things bother me too and you're one of them. Alright. Routine. What time was Paula killed? Between eight and half past. Roughly. Then Hagen could have done it. - Or his missus. She might have got wind of something. Jealousy. Revenge. Had this pistol been fired? - Who knows? Too much time has passed. All they can say is it's been cleaned. Sergeant, take back to Mr Hagen with my thanks. Let's speculate on the other pistol, shall we. The one that Hagen said was stolen. Do you think Paula Blair had it? No. - Then who did? I have a client. Oh yes? There's one born every minute. Go on. Thanks very much. But I do assure you he has nothing whatever to do with this murder. Will you accept that? I don't know. I might. Tell me more. My client possessed the other pistol on the night Paula Blair was murdered. But he did not use it. Excuse me, Sir Harold. - Yes? Mr Hagen is here, sir. Oh. Show him in. Mr Hagen. Harold. Good morning. - Morning. I got your message. What a charming place to work. I envy you very much. I still don't understand why you've come to see me. Before we discuss that, Harold. I must tell you that .. The police have been asking me about the pistol. And what did you say? It was difficult. I didn't want to ing you into it. I said that the other pistol had simply disappeared. Probably somebody had stolen it. You still have it? - Yes. Don't show it to anyone. That wouldn't be wise. You don't want to get involved in a murder case. Even though you're entirely innocent. But now to business. Harold. I need a loan. You are a lawyer. You are rich. You have influence. You can arrange these things. How much do you have in mind? Ten thousand pounds. For the term of three hundred years. At nought percent interest. So, now we have it laid on the line. Have a drink. You look like you need it. - Thank you. Now, Hagen and Paula are partners. He has an ingenious scheme to blackmail his own wife while you foot the bill. Alright. So you've paid them five thousand pounds. Suzy. It's alright. She's the one discrete girl in London. Now, you borrow Hagen's pistol. Obviously, you don't intend to pay the second five thousand. What do you want? - More Scotch. Now, Paula tells him that you are coming to her flat at ten o'clock. He sees in this an ideal opportunity to make some real money. And keeping it all for himself. So he gets there first. Kills her. And leaves her for me to find. Charming. There's a couple of things that bother me. Such as? Never mind about my worries. Let's worry about you. Have you still got that pistol? - Here. Right. I'd better take that and dump it in a river. Or .. Wouldn't it be better if .. If you were to put it back in Hagen's flat? For the police to find. What do you say? I would say that's just about all I need. Mr Hagen, you have been very helpful. You've answered all our questions. And it's not getting us anywhere, is it. I am sorry, Inspector. Let's ask some of them again, shall we. Where is the other pistol? I have no idea. Did Paula Blair have it? I imagine so. Don't you? Mr Hagen, why should a woman steal from her partner? Inspector, you have no justification for that remark. This is a list of the places you've stayed over the past few years. It happens to coincide with the places that Paula has lived too. They are all big cities. Coincidence is possible. It is also possible that you are her partner in a blackmail racket. I can only deny it. And you can't prove it. Can't I? My impression of such an organisation .. Is that the big ains always stay very much in the background. And no-one ever manages to find out. Thank you, Mr Hagen. You denied it. We heard you. What other questions would you like to ask me? Don't be impatient, Mr Hagen. We're all going to be here for a good few hours yet. Mrs Hagen. It's John Durran here. Are you alone? Could I come and discuss something with you privately? Would it be alright if I came to the flat? Right. Thank you. I will be right over. I'm sorry to be a nuisance but I did call you several times earlier. I was out shopping and then had a long lunch with a girlfriend. And your husband? At Scotland Yard. Heaven knows when he'll be home. I imagine they're questioning him about that other pistol. I imagine. Is it too late to offer you tea or too early for a drink? Mrs Hagen, have you no idea what happened to that pistol? None whatsoever. - It just disappeared? That's what Leo told me. - And he meant it? I suppose so. You're sure he didn't lend it or give it to someone? Not to my knowledge. Is that what you came here to ask me? Mrs Hagen .. - Maxine. Maxine. I am not a policeman. My only concern in this case is to keep you and Harold Trevitt out of trouble. Trouble which you've done nothing to deserve. Nothing? Maxine, you are a very beautiful woman. And since your husband isn't coming home yet. I think I would like that cup of tea. China? India? Strong? Weak? Strong please. With milk? Yes please. And sugar. Lots of sugar. Waveney here. Hello John. What news? That other pistol. I have a wild hunch it may still be in Hagen's flat. Have you thought of searching it? This is the famous intuition of the private eye? Let me tell you something. This morning, when Mr Hagen was in this office and his wife was out shopping. I had my men go through their flat with their finest of fine tooth combs. That pistol just isn't there. Goodbye. So now what? Good morning, sir. - Morning. The usual please. A large Scotch? - A large Scotch. On your account? - On my account. Good morning. My name is John Durran. - How do you do. Scotch? Make that two Scotches, would you. I'm delighted to meet you. I always say the more I tell people the more they tell me. Except of course the police. - I told them everything I knew. I was here with .. - Two large Scotches. Thank you. Shall we sit down? I was here with Leo until about 8 o'clock. Then we left. I imagine that Leo killed her. Don't you? Yes. - Yes. Of course. But there's some things that bother me. Oh? Like what? Leo is a professional blackmailer. Yes. I always had an idea he was. That kind of man sticks to the trade he knows. He doesn't anch out into murder. Not even if it's a good idea? Cheers. - Cheers. And that kind of man sticks to one system. Leo found a new system from somewhere. I wonder where he found it. My dear chap. If you're looking at me .. - Yes. I am. I stick to my own trade. Not blackmail. Not murder. A little character assassination sometimes, perhaps. Alright. I'll tell you another thing that bothers me. Paula Blair was killed between eight and half past. In order to get the result Leo wanted he should have killed her an hour later. Just before ten o'clock. Why didn't he? An interesting thought. I'll give you one in return. When Leo and I left here we went to Caxton Hall. I'm interested in Harold Trevitt. I wanted to hear his speech. We got there about 8:15. Just in time for his big entrance. Storms of applause. - Well? The moment Trevitt said 'ladies and gentlemen' .. Leo left the hall like a streak of lightning. Good afternoon. Mrs Williams? I wonder if you can help me. You had a tenant here called Paula .. I'm not answering more questions. I've had a bellyful the past few days what with the police and the newspapers. Thank you very much. It makes no difference. I'll not answer anything I don't know. Do you know anything about a man who called to see Miss Blair that evening? Some man came, that's for sure. What was the time? Towards half past eight? I never looked at my clock. You have no idea? Well, it was round about then. I don't know any clearer than that. I didn't know she would be killed, did I. Did you see the man? I heard someone on the stairs. I looked out. Did you see who it was? - No. They had gone already. No. I can't say I did. Sorry. Hello. Leo Hagen. Yes. Yes, of course. Shall we say in about an hour's time? Yes. I will be by myself. I'll see you later then. Yes. Maxine is going out. Goodbye. You are going out, aren't you? Hmm. Why? I have somebody coming. On business. Oh. I will call you back. Come in. Sit down. I've asked you come here because I am a very worried man. Maxine. Your husband is a blackmailer. And as far as I can see he is a murderer too. What I don't understand is why he shot Paula at least an hour too soon. So he wanted to frame Trevitt. But Leo is a clever man. A clever man would have shot Paula just before Trevitt got there. Why didn't he? Did he have to get back to you? Were you waiting and watching the clock? I don't remember. Let me get you a drink. Please listen. Are you alright? - I am sorry. John. - Maxine. I must ask you. Were you expecting him back? Yes. And what time did he get back? I don't know exactly. Maxine, you do realise I'm trying to pin this murder on your husband? Yes. And what makes it worse is, you do realise I'm falling in love with you? Yes. Doorbell Harold. Come in. - Thank you. You said it was business. It's rather late, isn't it? Not too late to discuss business. Business between friends, that is. You asked me for a loan of ten thousand. That's not too much surely? - I can afford it, yes. Let's settle the matter then. - Leo. Harold, you're not going to be difficult, are you? I need the money rather urgently. What are you going to do if I don't pay? Maxine. Tell me something. The other day when I came to your flat. I planted that second pistol back. Did I do right? I don't know. John. I am frightened. I must go now. I must get home. - When will I see you again? Soon. I promise. He was trying to blackmail me. Ten thousand pounds. He said he was desperate. When I said I wouldn't pay .. He took out the pistol and pretended he was going to shoot himself. It was only pretence. I'm sure it was. It must have gone off by accident. But Harold. You weren't even here. What? I came home. I found Leo dead. An accident. You weren't here. You haven't been here at all. Thank you, Maxine. You can't possibly have been here. Because of your career. Your marriage. Only, the price goes up every time. It will cost you 15 thousand pounds. With the five thousand you've paid already. That makes it the most expensive kiss of all time. Good morning, scum. Pinder is here. Make way. It's you again. Never mind. You will get there someday. Friend of the groom. - Morning, Mr Pinder. Sorry, Miss. You can't go in. For your buttonhole, sir. Thank you. Ronnie, have you got the ring? Yes. Yes, of course I have. Time to go? - Time to go. I told the porter not to let anyone in. Harris. Whoever it is, we don't want to see him. We must leave for the church. Friend of the groom. Hello Ronnie. - Hello Harold. Could my readers have your last thoughts as a bachelor? Say I'm very happy to stop being a bachelor. That'll do. When the gods give with both hands? - What do you mean? No longer a mere leak but a positive torrent. Tomorrow you're to be named as a member of Her Majesty's government. Well. - 'Well'? We all know what 'well' means in Fleet Street. Don't we? I am sorry, sir. You can't. Hold on a minute please. Sir Harold. I can't speak to anyone. We leave now. Mr Durran, sir. Oh. Hello? Hello. Sir Harold? Sorry to bother you at a moment like this but I'm in Mrs Hagen's flat. Scotland Yard are here too. We think you can be a help to us. Dear chap, I'm just off to my wedding. Yes. I quite realise that but I do assure you it won't take long. No, you won't be late. Right. Thank you very much. He's coming. - Good. Good. Now, Mrs Hagen. We'll see what Sir Harold has to say, shall we. I told you. He knows nothing against me. Shall we wait and see? Doorbell Sorry, Sir Harold. We won't keep you long. Yes. We're all in rather a hurry. Good morning, Maxine. - Harold. They're telling me I killed Paula. And Leo. Really? Mr Durran, would you like to start the ball rolling? John knows I was being blackmailed. Tell them about it. Leo Hagen and Paula Blair were a team of blackmailers. They are working the same trick over and over again. Suddenly they found a new trick. Blackmailing Leo's own wife. That's right. Tell them. Someone had to teach them that trick. Who? Blackmailers are specialists. They don't kill people. It takes someone new to do that. Alright. Who is new? Maxine Hagen. Who has no alibi for the night Paula Blair was killed? Maxine. But. And who rushed out of my office to get back here just as her husband died? Maxine Hagen. The same answer every time. That's not true. You cannot prove anything. Can't we, Mrs Hagen? Let's try, shall we? Excuse me. The bullet that killed Paula Blair came from one of two pistols. Mr Hagen's own favourite pistol that was available to you here. Or the one that was missing at the time. Now, if we can trace that missing pistol .. Sir Harold. I think you can help us here. Mr Hagen had two pistols, didn't he? His own favourite pistol that he never allowed anyone else to handle. And the one that he leant to you. - That's quite correct. Where was the one he leant to you? - In my possession. Durran can tell you. Where was it exactly? In my iefcase the entire evening that Paula was killed. Thank you. That makes it certain, doesn't it? But I have never .. - Sir Harold Trevitt. I am arresting you for the murders of Paula Blair and Leo Hagen. I warn you that anything you say will be taken down and may be given in evidence. But you are accusing .. - You used her as bait, Sir Harold. You killed Paula Blair. Only you did it before you went to your meeting at Caxton Hall. That was where you thought you were being clever. Why was Paula killed around 8 o'clock? Because you had to get to your meeting. You're early. Come in. I have ought the money. I thought you were coming at 10 o'clock. I said I thought you were coming at ten. Well? You stopped your car. Cleaned your pistol. So that an hour or two later when John Durran met you. You could appear quite innocent. The pistol was cold and clean. And Durran could see that it had not been used. But now to business. Harold. I need a loan. You are a lawyer. You are rich. You have influence. You can arrange these things. How much do you have in mind? But you found you were still being blackmailed. So you decided to get rid of Leo too. You asked me for a loan of Ł10,000. That is not too much surely? - I can afford it. Just. Let's settle the matter then. - Leo. Harold, you're not going to be difficult. Are you? I need the money rather urgently. What are you going to do if I don't pay? Tell the police who really killed Paula. You see, I went to her place about half past eight. While you were making that speech of yours. I saw what you had done. I can prove that you did it. I'd better pay you then, hadn't I. Yes. You had better. This has a better balance than the one you leant me, Leo. That is my best gun and it's loaded. Put it down. Stand quite still, Leo. Give it to me. - Stand still. Then you wiped your fingerprints off the pistol. And placed it beside the dead man. Am I right, Sir Harold? - No. I must be. Come here for a minute. You had this pistol at the time of Paula's death. You admitted that. Yes. This is the other pistol. The one you agree Mr Hagen allowed no-one else to touch. Yes. Do you know why he allowed no-one else to touch it? It's a better pistol. - That may be. What you don't know is that this pistol doesn't fire. It hasn't been fired for years. The action is out order. This is ridiculous. - Yes? You see, on the night Paula Blair was killed. The only pistol that fired. Was in your possession. - Maybe in my possession. Furthermore you were the only person apart from Mr Durran .. Who knew the whereabouts of this pistol on the night that Leo was killed. Am I right? Take him away, Sergeant Holt. Come on, sir. - And Mrs Hagen, Constable. I expect they would both like to make statements. About each other. For a policeman you are a terrible liar. - Yes. I know. But if he had accused me of lying he'd have admitted using the other pistol. But he didn't kill Leo Hagen with the pistol I left in the flat. John. I will explain it to you. It's quite simple. You aren't very ight, are you. There are two pistols, right? Now this is the one .. No. Wait a minute. This is the one that I accused him of killing Paula Blair with. In fact I was lying. This is the one that he killed Paula Blair with. Having done that, when he used this one. To kill Leo Hagen with. If he'd found out I was telling a lie. I'd have been in dead shtuck. ..f-s..
Episode 21 Kemal... Kemal I almost... Kemal I was dying You know when I told you. When I told you I fullfill my longing You are my destiny. You are my destiny. But you will go home to Emir This will change nothing - I... - This was a mistake This was wrong What? I made a mistake. I'm sorry I gave in to temptation for a moment I did some disgraceful to us both. But I shouldn't had done this I am sorry Where is my wife? There's someone who thinks more about your wife than you do. And I also think that your wife has a soft spot for him Get him and take him away! Take him away! He called the police the very last That's why I tell you to take him away. You only reach so far with ute strength Leave no trace What are they going to do with the man? We should better get going. I'm sure your father and other are worried about you Look at me I said look at me! I don't feel good Nihan Why are you turning your eyes away? I don't feel good You are uncomfortable. You regret A lot. Very much! There's no excuse to touch you, to be with you I can't have a relationship that feels like sin Like a sin? Hello Mr Onder Okay I reach it over Dad where are you? Please come pick me up from here now Don't leave any trace behind Young blood! Are you going to help or just look around? Okay we're coming They are in the back alley Which way are we going? You're running away from the truth but we can't run away from it You are someone's wife now, no matter how much you were forced to marr And I can't put up with that. I know the reasons. Your other has bound you and I am sure of it! But it's impossible! I can't have a relationship that's like a forbidden love Neither will I do this to me nor to you This is not what we deserve I can't be in your heart like a wrongdoing - Is it wrong to love each other? - It's wrong It's wrong to see you It's wrong to touch you To be beside you and what we just did is wron - To whom? - To me To us. I said that you're my destiny! That's what I said too But it's up to us to keep this pure What should I do? What should I do Kemal? Tell me! Should I send Ozan to prison and run away with you? What would you have done? What would you have done if Zeynep for example would go through the same? What's necessary? Go Where's my wife? She's going home So you released her? - You've got your answer. - I haven't! Don't you have anything else to do than saving my wife Kemal? Other than interfering into my internal affairs? How many times have you entered my airspace? Would you have preferred Nihan's dead? That's what I also thought You don't know how to make a reference yet You're wrong again. But my preferences doesn't change who I am You have not been confronted with a real reference yet. But you will be. Then we will see if you can keep on talking like an epic poetry - It seems to me like you're threatening me again? - I am not. I assure you! Soon you will have to make a decision. All your values will be tested. Let's see if your heroic acts will be useful when the subject is your siblings - If you will do something to my siblings... - But I said wait Kemal This is not my test, it's yours It's time for Tarik to be cooked over a high heat. - What are you talking about? - The right question... would have been To who are we serving it to eat? I'm answering. To his other What could you be busy with? These guys are very odd And you? Are you not like that? My thing was not like that, it happened while I tried to rotect... The police will be here soon. But you can stay there if you want and tell them, huh? You should've seen me Nihan. - I was in the trunk with my hands cuffed and... - Ozan? This is something so terrible that you shouldn't repeat it. Please let us talk later Where's Kemal? He went to his own life I'm living my life and he lives his life - What's up? You called me - Brother where are you? I wanted to talk with you. This guy Emir... You let Emur get t yourself - Nihan got kidnapped today other - I know I know everything what ha ens in Mr Emir's life Brother, neither trust yourself too much nor that guy Emir Look, even a little trump can turn out into a murder un in his hands Who do you want me to trust? You my little other? The one who punched his other in the face? The one who storms late at night into my house? Should I trust you who doesn't trust his other at all? You have forced me to make a choice and I made my choice Come let's not grind on this talk. Goodbye Thank god! Oh dear! Nihan My sweetheart! I'm fine. I'm fine! Okay. Let me look at you! - Nothing happened to you, right? - Alright I'm fine We were worried to death Nihan Abla What was so important that you couldn't tell me on the hone? Where were you? To be honest I couldn't get anything out of your father We didn't tell you to not panick I got kidnapped What? How now? Who would do something like this? What do you mean you were kidnapped? Did Emir know about this? Apparently he knew I knew! I tried to run this case confidentially but apparently someone has acted before me Someone will tell me what happened now! Right now! Stay calm! We don't know the details either There are some details to the details you claim to not know The real question is. How did you find out the things you know? We were also there Emir! Nihan came with us The securtiy intelligence has grown since the last time. With who are you collaborating Mr Onder? What's going on? I got kidnapped and Kemal saved me No way! So my other reached to save you before your husband? Is that so? I just say Well done and say nothing else You shut up! You shut Kemal has put you in danger! You could've died! I was already on my way with an arm But you were late! Your adrenaline has boosted your self-confidence! And betrayal is making me see red I asked you! I asked you were Nihan is! And you hide this information on this day! What should I have done? Should I have announced it with a subhead? You had no right to do this! - Everything concerning Nihan... - Is about me! Of course it is about you! Everything is about you! - Your enemy kidnapped her, right? - What's Nihan's fault? What's your fault? Everything has to do with your fault! - It was not my enemy who kidnapped her! - It's enough! Enough! Money hunters. Classic story Is this what you told us in the car? Look I am really tired. Really! - Come with me. - Aye Aye I want to rest for a while! We will talk later, OK? Look at me! You will tell me everything right now! Right now! Right now! I don't know what's up either Have my other not told you anything? Come with me Is there something that unlocks the codes here? I am very tired What does that mean now. Does that mean something like I saved my sister from death? Zeynep, you can even make me laugh under these circumstances You should see me once I understand this house What about this violence and glory? Should I be not the one like this? Were you about to say the name of the person who kidnapped me or did I just feel that way? I'm a transparent man. I'm what you see With what right? We're talking about the man you helped to escape prison The man whose wife you killed What's wrong? Have you thought you could cover it all up? - I didn't think so. only tried. Do you think that I could be ca able of killing someone? I thought it, yes. But I was not sure. I became sure after what I heard today Then let me tell you about what I am all sure about. I have also been busy while you tried to collect evidence against me with Kemal I sent my man My intention was only to drink a coffee. As you know, a lot of years have passed You're an asshole! You killed the girl and after you covered it up I covered it up, right? But there's a little mistake. I didn't kill Karen I didn't kill Karen That retard of my man wasn't able to ing that girl to me and killed her I mourned for two days but then I had no other choice to cover it up to be able to protect you Because the last person Karen was in contact with before she died was my beautiful wife - So who killed her? - Look that's interesting. It's the Averell from the Soydere Brother's! Tarik Soydere! So Kemal? Is love throwing yourself in front of the bullets? Did you question Salih when he ought the car? Don't change the subject Kemal! You've heard me What are you doing? I would do the same again Without hesitating a second But I can't make this love work like this. You're right in that matter m possessed by her. I can't sto my self What I'm talking about is not the same you do You're getting yourself into the wildest things And that stubborn also! Have you two lost your minds? What does it mean to save Nihan alone from the mafia and such things? I said I am possessed by her! I can't control myself Nihan is your weak spot. You lost your mind the very first day you saw her - That's how it always was. - It was not always like that Leyla! Back then she wasn't married! She had no ring on her finger! I kissed Nihan I couldn't stop myself I felt like we came back together I was really scared Leyla! I was so scared. I thought that I would lose her! I thought that she was sli in out of my hands Though I realized at that moment that she was not in my hands. That moment I realized that I was dra in us into something forbidden What am I doing? What am I doing Leyla? She doesn't belong to What is that what you call belong? What is it? If you can't shoulder your bags and go somewhere, if you can't wake up in the morning together and say good morning with your mind at peace! Because the sun is not rising for you. So you can't take her and o somewhere, because you're not free Look! Do you know what's the summary of what you said? We are at the egde of a forbidden love This is a choice. Yes, it's a choice I can't do it I know it. What do you want to do that I don't know? I will run away from this love as long as Nihan will divorce him, until this damned marriage is over will run away That means that the idiot was cack-handed and shot that woman while he tried to scare her I pulled his ear's what else should I do? Your other wasn't enough, now I am also rotectin the other of your ex And you still look like you're not convinced If everything you do is fiction... Then it means that I am wrapping you all around my finger Who's the winner? Me and me again! Me and me again! And besides you're asking all the questions Now you will explain me what this Kemal was doing there! I changed my mind! I am sick of hearing the same old excuses I won't be able to solve this thing with you. There's always a better choice For example like Kemal Emir! Please stop threatening me. Not me... - You are my precious and for him it's his siblings. - You better not! I better not what? I bewared already and protected Tarik. But you look like you will even accuse me of that! Look at you I will just draw away my protection over Tarik. And the rest is up to Kemal's heroism Emir! Kemal will burn for every minute he doesn't away from you! And that really bad! Because my patience is about to run out The rhyme is a present for you my love Is he not answering? I'm worried. I can't stop myself from it! I'm worried about him Come here to me to tell you Yes. Kemal is at a wrong place. He loves that girl. Even knowing that it won't happen He also can't make himself litened to his heart But it will pass. You will see it. Look one day it'll pass And he will see you when you're beside Kemal on that da You need to be a little patience Uncle, I can't stand neither to have more patience or to see that Kemal destroys himself with his eyes open What do you want to do then? What can you do? I have an idea At least some hope Are you not answering? There's nothing left to talk The last point of the doorknob. I should maybe satisfy you who is addicted to get chased away . Get the hell out of here It's a pity for you Are you sleeping here now? Yes my little one. I'm sleeping here. Because Nihan is not letting me into her room. She's very mad on me She is boiling with rage because I don't touch her Because I am thinking about you all the time But you went and married with that fool Ozan You're still madly in love with me You're dreaming You're disgusting me Do you want me to chase you away or will you leave on your own? Soon you will look into my eyes and say Zeynep it is enough Look at that You will be in love with me and later you will beg me to understand you I wonder what kind of dream you went to bed with I went to bed with your nightmare! Are you not awayre of that? You have come a long way with the things you've learned from me. At least let me commend you for that You will see it Emir. You will see it. Don't forget the words I've told you Leyla! I'm leaving, I'm meeting with Asu Get over there and sit. Nothing is more important then a good eakfast There you go! Tea Mr Onder! Hello Kemal. I can't thank you enough for yesterday Yesterday is over. So it's a closed chapter. I did what was necessary Is Leyla here? She doesn't want to see anyone at the moment Wait sweetheart, don't bother. - Yes - Today... is a capital increasement meeting. Some of the partners will step out, I mean the board of directors will change Cancel the procuration with the documents I gave you and ing them definitely to the meeting Definitely! I hope I will see you there What's going on? He thinks he's cleaning his conscience with this What's wrong with you again? What else could be wrong Ozan? Look no one is taking me serious and tellin me M dear this ha enin there - In what matter? - In every matter. For example Emir. Why is he and Nihan staying in separated rooms? I mean even Efsane knows about it but I have no clue about anything Zeynep! Why are you not going back to school and free yourself from being a housewife. I mean it must get really boring to sit at home all day, right? I have other priorities at the moment mommy. I first try to adapt to you and the house and later I will finish school with God's help I'm saying that my choices are good. I want to give my whole attention to Ozan and you m making myself a good Turkish coffee. Should I pop you one too? I'm sorry! Mrs Nuran would be mad if she'd hear that. Can I also offer you a coffee mommy? What do you say? Sweet gaga My beautiful wife! Excuse me? Come here Could you tear this off? Would you please Wait! Wait! Wait! Reach me your finger - What's going on Emir? - Reach me your finger What are you doing? These days there are things you shouldn't forget, you know. You're confused, you've become distracted these days This strand will be a reminder for you Nihan abla! You're feeling better, right? What a pity! Oh Mr Hakki! How old is he yet my girl Asu? Look at that now! I feel really bad now Precisely aunt Fehime and now think how I am. I have no one else beside my uncle and Kemal Don't say so! I am there. You've got a mother here as long as I live my daughter Mother Today, I came here to tell you something Tell me. Don't hesitate I love Kemal very much My Kemal can consider himself lucky If he would see you My uncle talked with Kemal. The intentions of my uncle is to entrust the company to both of us and us to each other How well he thought at the last moment I swear it off! May god give him a long life! May god give him a very long life but of course he doesn't want to die having left something undone - What did my Kemal say? - He re ected it How? Why? - He said that he still loves Nihan! - Impossible My son wouldn't say such thing to Mr Hakki after all the things that happened Stay calm I'm here and you're here. We can distance Kemal from Nihan with joined forces And my only wish is to see the day you're getting married my daughter To see you laying my grandchildren on my lap with God's permission I would do anything it needs, I wouldn't even need you, I would also face my son alone He would neither walk over me or disoblige me Leyla! Don't do anything concerning the company without asking me. - I will talk with Mr Ziya. - Alright!

I mean with yesterday's tension, it exploded out of me suddenly. - And Emir said this to me... - Tell me He said that Tarik killed Karen - I know it! - What? He said the same to me He dropped a hint that he would blame Tarik for the murder if I would keep on pursuing this Karen case That's what I also thought. I thought it as a new thread from Emir - But? - There's no but. But that's Emir. He wants to threat you with your other. Which means he's using his last card in his hand And that's very dangerous I know it Where are you dear? You're coming, right? Okay Asu I'm coming.

But I won't say Learn to trust me Have you ever asked Kemal what job he's doing, where all this money is coming from or where he stay s with who? I haven't asked him. Because he never made me ask it I won't try to convince you anymore father. You see me as the rotten apple. Oka I am! Acce ted Look my son. The way Kemal is my right arm, your my left arm. There's nothing which makes you different. You still don't understand this after all this years My son! Would a mother or father ever divide their childs? Could we love you more than Zenep or Kemal? Tarik, I got old now. Come and take the reins at the shop. Be your own boss! Look after the business And besides you would be in my sight again That train has left for me father What does that mean now? What obligation do you have against these people? I can't turn back If you also say that I have nothing to do in this house like Zeynep... - Never! I would never say something like that! One child of mine slipped through my palm and left.

It's about the killing of Karen You are not Emir's man. You have another goal. I am sure of this You wanted to tell me the truth that day but whatever happened you changed your mind You are wrong. I told you the truth. You don't want to believe it Mr Kemal Your boss said it with his own mouth. He said he will blame Tarik for the murder Mr Emir said that he will send Tarik into prison in an instant if you keep on pursuing this thing Because your other commit murder - I won't fall for this game - Mr Kemal, believe it or not if you want There's no game this time Tarik has a witness. He was with Banu that day Come on Come on let's go to the data processing to ether. They should show you your data character We can analyze the entrance and exit times of your whole employees together. Come with me and we ll look when Mrs Banu has left the company at that day What do you say? Without me having the time to change any data now! Please. I will prove you Tarik! I don't know how I can say this but... Have you killed Karen? Are you insane? Are you sick? Since two days, first Kemal then you. What's going on? How easy is it to mark someone as a murderer? Why would I kill this woman? - What plot are you planning against me? - Not we. But Emir can get you in huge trouble I don't understand You know the guy Taner, who kidnapped me? He told me that Emir ordered to kill Karen and I asked this to Emir He said that you panicked and shot Karen. Is that true? - It's not! I didn't kill anyone If he played a game then... - Enough! No one is playing me! I am not a murderer! I don't know why Mr. Emir talked like this. But you don't come knock at my door again and cast ridiculous aspersions. I will only be silent so far because you're the bosses wife What's going on here? What's going on? Banu Meric made her entrance at 8:46 am of the said date - Okay and when did she leave? - At 8:21 pm Our co-worker has also filled out a shift notice. Here you go It's your problem to believe the truth or not from this point on Where have you been last Monda evenin around 6 or 7? He was with me. We wanted to go to the movies but when we turned back home when I got a migraine at the last moment Maybe the tickets are still lying somewhere if I haven't throw them away If you like she can search and ing them to you? Where is Mrs Banu? She's not coming today. She's at home I am thanking the Kozcuoglu shareholders for the participation at the meeting will make you pay for this show Bring it on I will make you crawl until you ask me for mercy Here and don't believe it Welcome! Never say die! Fortunately Mr Onder is your supporter. They don't say for nothing that the wife's sister is sweeter than honey It's obvious. I have a lot of work to do in this company I won't only have to claim my rights but also I will have to teach manners to the im ertinents - That's very kind of you. - Im udent Mrs Leyla! Mr Leyla! I will have a humble advice for you. You know that holdings will be lead by partnership I think the reason of your vote against must be about your first ent to your company I didn't vote no to be against you We've received the No- message that from now on nothing will be like it was before You're very understanding Even seeing you walking past by my window will be every enjoyable for me aunty Emir! I don't want you to be in beef with Mrs Leyla Why? You will understand it when the time comes How was it? What's wrong with you Nothing's wrong! What have you done? The first round is mine! I have hit them doggishly and later I used my No vote like you told me to us Thanks to me they didn't get an unanimity and need to meet up next week again Well done - Can you get back home alone? - Of course I can See you Mr Kemal Walk Tell me here whatever you have to say to me Is this your new game? Which one? I will never allow you to sacrifice Tarik So? Don't you dare acting like you don't know You set up a plan to blame Tarik for the murder No I don't believe you Is that why you are bitter and twisted. Or is too hard for your hero to face the truth? You know what's the personality trait I love the most about me? I will make the people have doubts about me! They will feel so suspiscious about me that the won't believe me even when I hold the truth in my hand and show them And when on top of it the truth is hurting them. They will find themselves in the same position you are I won't fall for your tricks Mr Kemal Oh Mr Kemal. This world is a huge company for me. I don't get tired of playing it. Everyone is my bit-player. Don't you still get that? Zehir! What are you doing? Do you have an news? I'm searching for traces boss. What are you doin? My other lied to me! He was not with Banu on that day What happened? You silenced The water is muddy Aga. You don't see the bottom If there's a trick then you will find it out an way , as long as there is one. Do you think it's possible? Human beings don't away behave decently. I know that from my self My other won't go so far. But Emir will go so far to to play his dirt tricks and blame the guilt Believe me If you say so then it must be master By the way Taner is still being listed as escaped He has pulled his plug a long time ago - Are you home? - Yes - And the half witted? - Tarik! No he's not here Don't go anywhere, I'm coming - Is Mr Emir in his room Mrs Selin? - No he's not here Come this way with me What do you think you're doing? Have you got inside Mr Emir's head to sell me out? - Tell this straight to me without any nonsense. - Today ... Mrs Nihan knocked on my door. - Mr Emir told her everything exactly like it was. - So? How so? Who the hell are you? People are dropping with a atter on my door If this thing comes out then I will go down. This thin is no joke! Trust Mr Emir. He won't leave you half-way My trust in Mr Emir is full. But you would throw someone under the bus Oh is that so? If that's so then I would have told Mr Emir that you're together with his mistress Wouldn't you also think. Today maybe Banu but tomorrow maybe his wife? What the hell are you talking about? What the hell are you talking about? - What are you talking about? Watch your tone! - How will trust you with his eyes closed? How will he trust you? I will make you eat those words Tufan! I will make you fall hard! I wrote it here! Don't say I didn't tell you. - Tarik If I would be you I would first try to secure my own back. As of this moment you took a stand against me Who are you to be able to cause any problems? Be afraid of me from now on Tufan. Okay? Hello Asu Kemal where are you? I have a little thing to do, I was going to handle that. Has something happened? My uncle is not in a good condition. - Where are you? At the hospital? - No! He doesn't accept to go to the hospital. He says he wants to spend his last days at home He's not listening to me. Please come here, ma be you can convince him - Alright, I'm coming now. And you call his doctor right away. - Okay I wish we had met when my other was together with Nihan abla Why that? Maybe we would've been lovers for five to six years. - That would've been nice right? - That would have been nice Maybe I wouldn't had so many If only's in my life when you had been there. Then Emir wouldn't had married Nihan but your other would had What has it to do with you now? It sounds like they married because of you? Are we not imagining things? I'm just being silly We should look ahead instead of regeretting the past. There's a whole life in front of us I hope it will be long enough to tell me everything about you What does that mean now? Mother? My mother My mother I missed you so much I missed you so much Are you still mad on me? We are really sorry for what we did. And we are ready to do everything you say to make it up to you - Get aside. - Mother don't go! Stop! Don't go! Please don't go! You made your decision. You don't have any right to to regret the circumstances Go and be happy in your new home. God should show us that we're not wrong , that's all How crazy are you? Kemal, how crazy are we? How crazy are we? Crazy enough to come to a job interview with me. - Are you nervous? - No way dear! Why would I be nervous after so man interviews? That's why I am not nervous anymore. - But that's not what your foot says. - What? What are you doing? Keep on reading something. It was nice that you were silent for the last ten minutes You're a killjoy! You're really a killjoy! How differently did your lover show you his love for you? How would you have been able to? Now can you scream when you go inside for the job interview? Nihan I love you very much Nihan what are you doing? Eve one is lookin at us I don't care! Let them look. Be a little bit crazy. Go inside and say I love you very much Nihan I wish I wouldn't have ought you with me. What would be the matter if you say it? Fine but is this the right time? Really! I really don't have any crazy love story I can write here in the magazine! And you're still worried what the people think You do it! - I would do it - You do it and I write it in the magazine> - I will do it! - Then do it Really, that we're talking about this during I am at a job interview... Kemal Soydere! Alright, okay! - Kemal Soydere! Please Mr Kemal. - Oh okay How do I look? How? How? How do I look?The tie? I'm fixing it. One moment. - The tie? I fixed it. It's okay right? Okay Kemal!!!.. Good luck! Thank you very much. We will turn back to you to with a positive or negative answer - Thank you! May it be easy - Thank you Blood and Roses. Roses and thorns! My love and you are facing their backs You and I! I don't know if I can make me understand? I love you! Do you love me? I am crying! Are you laughing? Yes. - I'm waiting. Are you leaving? Are you pushing me the more you love me? Fine, let it be so! What's wrong now? What would I do without Kemal? My sweetheart He sees me like a mistake Don't do that. Of course you're not He apologized because he kissed me Don't talk like you don't know Kemal He has boundaries and prohibitions. There are things he can't do no matter how much he loves you Then why did he kissed me? Becuase he understood for the first time that you're not the immortal fai from the tales And he's not the bullet-proof hero You think that I put both of our life's in danger, right? Don't you think so? Look Nihan. Today I saw Emir and him side by side and I got scared by the enmity that I saw in their eyes I want you to be happy with Kemal more than anyone, you know it You would have walked away together long time if you would be able to eak upwith Emir Whatever you forces to stay with Emir now I can get rid of him Do you think Emir will put up with loosin Will he leave you alone so that you could build a new life in peace with Kemal? Are you really expecting this from this lunatic human being? Kemal will burn for every minute he doesn't stay away from you. I guess you're right You can expect anything evil from him The more you're trying to find a way the more dangerous it gets My Nihan, Kemal could have been shot while he tried to save you You're really lucky that none of the bullets has hit anyone. But how long do you think you'll still be in luck? Alright Leyla! Alright be silent, please I am also awayre of everything, but the thought to stay away from Kemal kills me I'm really scared Leyla! What if Kemal falls in love with someone else? - What when he starts thinking about someone else? - Someone like Asu Do you really think that Kemal will give upon you? Like I said what if there's really no escape from Emir? Kemal will acknowledge it one day. Then he wants to build a life, wants to become a father Cause then... Welcome I wish I would be I came here to talk with Leyla because Kemal is not there Why? To match you up? But is that... Don't take no offense Mrs Leyla. No one should have any hopes concerning my son My Kemal will marry with Asu - Please, it's not the right time to talk about these things - It's just the right time. Everyone should hear and know. This marriage is not only Mr Hakki's last will it's also his father's and my last will And you will get out of my son's way when you're in the least ave. You won't stay in front of him. You're a married woman Don't make him any hopes. Let him build a family, let him get married and have children See you Are you not wondering why I am here? It's obviously nothing good You're doing me an injsutice. I always want the best for me You will do something for me Don't worry it won't force your capacity It's a simple task and a short one too. You can make it Actually it was good that we ran into each other. I said it at this juncture and I feel relieved now Being hurtful But the truth is also like this and she should also know where she goes. I won't sacrifice my son to this girl again Sugar? - I don't want an I won't allow this Mrs Fehime, Kemal has passed the age to ask for ermission already a long time every ago For a mother the age of his son is always the same Mrs Leyla. A child is a child Put yourself into my position for once. Every night I put myself to sleep with fear. My son is driven away from someone who has married eveyday What if her husband shoot him? Who will suffer great hardship? Who will hurt so bad in his heart? Mine! And what if my Kemal does something stupid and gets into prison? Again me What you need to understand Mrs Leyla, I am doing the right thing. But you're doing the wrong thing by pampering her But Nihan will be in my life for the rest of my life If she's more precious than my Kemal, then she can Mrs Fehime. Both have a different lace for me. If one is my son then the other one is my niece What? Vildan is my sister. And Nihan and Ozan are my nephews. So I am their aunt Have you not protected my son though you knew this family for so many years? Have you thrown him into the fire knowingly? - Now look where you took this conversation to - No no! The conversation is right where it should be. Okay we didn't know the family but why have you not prevented them being to ether? Why did you not tell us? Ah Mrs Leyla ah! And shame on you! Mrs Fehime Have you understood what you have to do? And let me also hear that out loud Okay I understood it you godforsaken - Punishment - What? I am god's punishment. Sort of his mediate To teach the dumb their lessons Come here I'm fine here Don't make me form unnecessary sentences again. Come Don't do it I've missed you Does this guy have some issues or why couldn't you plug him out by now? He's going slow Emir don't do it! You fall in love with this blockhead - Of course not. Don't be silly. - Convince me - Are you sure you don't want to drink something? - M final decision. There's the man I was waiting for Bad luck I've heard some things from Tufan. I came to talk with you face to face Is it true what I've heard? Is what true Mr Emir? Have you and Banu fallen in love with each other? This Tufan is a very dangerous man. He is two-faced Answer my question first We haven't done anything wrong Mr Emir From which standpoint? I know she is your past but... it's over after all It's over and passed. Because it's over. Or else I.. wouldn't do such wrong to you Mr Emir, I... there's nothing I need to be ashamed of or hided... I fall in love with Banu I tried to stop me but it didn't work out If you want to sacrifice me for that, then it's alright. But I... I won't leave Banu Then it's my duty to congratulate you And besides I praise you for your courage Mr Emir If you want to keep on with your tirade from inside, then I had enough - No, there's something else. - Tell me Today your wife, Mrs Nihan came to my house. - You told her that I killed Karen. - Yes Why did you do that? Karen's husband babbled something before he eath his last and told Nihan how thing were Should I have told her that I shot her, that I am the murderer just to protect you? - Of course not. - l am your warrant and your savior Theoretically it is but it looks different in practise. What can I say, I got uncomfortable and I am not secured I knead your dough very well. I have tempered you very well You've made quite a way but cure forgetting one thing Thanks to me you're on your feet, you're strong. Be loyal to your benefactor I am your only friend in good days and in bad days Just trust me Mr Hakki you really scared us today. Thanks god we overcome this day too. But this can't work at home. You would be in better hands at the hospital Have you advised him? Don't think of it like a hospital. We will arrange a nice room and you will be comfortable. I will always be by your side - Right Kemal? - Of course! Of course! And besides you can come back after you recovered a bit - Impossible - Why? I will miss your food But uncle your stubborn as a child Truly, you had cooked soup. - Bring it, let me eat it and I will recover now - Okay. As you wish Mr Hakki, don't be so stubborn and be like this. It really cuts to her heart to see you like this Do you want her to see me at some hospital rather then here? Should she see an old, sick man bound to machines who counts his days down . Is that better? Okay! Okay! Don't tire yourself. Don't tire yourself The hospital won't prolong my life my son. Let my last days be peacefully for me But your niece needs to see you doing good She only needs to be happy It doesn't matter if at the hospital or at home. My days are counted. She will lose me She will be very sad. But there's no other way That's why I'm telling you to be together I would like you to hold Asu s hand after I closed my eyes. When she could forget the loss of her uncle with you. - When she could be happy. - Mr Hakki Don't answer me. I'm not asking Think about it. Promise me that you will think about it one more time, that's enough for me Kemal I will think about it Mr Hakki There is my medicine. - Bless your hands my beautiful daughter. - Enjoy it Here my beauty. Thanks to you your workshop has become tea pots and tissues Don't make fun of me I don't know about you but I am really annoyed Once it's Asu that rolls over you, then Mrs Fehime. And then you're crying, then again you're a bag of nerves. I want my friend back Believe me I want her also back Nihan you only want Kemal back! And you're not ettin divorced from Emir. I don't get what you're doing Oh then there's Storm Emir who blow above us all, just let me say it Why did you say this now? The last time you just went away by yourself and he came here. He pushed me As long as you're doing this he will always explode like this. He understands it Nihan I've said it a thousand times. I just wanted to get away Okay get away but call and say that you're going away So are we going to find a cure for your heart or are we keep in on with the tissue box? I have tought. Actually I didn't have to think about it. Since they show this to me quite plainly every day Now we're talking. So tell me, what's the plan? Nihan don't scare me. What are you going to do? Let me first do it first. And you take care of this! I will need it later That was a fantastic conversation! Thank you gave him his medicine. He will sleep soon Come on let me take you out for a little while. And besides you'll get some air. - No, im ossible. My mind will be here. - Give me this Come walk me to the door and besides you will also get outside Okay Asu, I understand your pain m feeling the same things. I can't accept it myself You know it, Mr Hakki is like a father to me He's both of your dad. How will we be able to let o from your dad? I don't knew it. I don't know it at all Asu But there's one thing I do know. And that is that we won't be like this when this day comes Look! The only thing Mr Hakki wants right now is... that your eyes are not filled with tears... that you're happy How am I going to that? It's not that simple Yes it's not. I know it's hard. But you need to stand tall. You need to find a way If it's need to we will find a way to ether. While you're in deep sorrow your face must be smilin ha il Do the things you wanted to do together for exam le. It's the right time. Now is the right time Look! Don't spend this time being sad. One day when you're uncle is not there an more then you shouldn't leave an I wish behind For him and for you. Don't leave any I wish behind you Asu Asu I'm sorry Asu! Don't do this again Why? Have you not told me not to leave an I wish behind me? I meant this for your uncle This is my only I wish Kemal For myself! This would be the only I wish that would haunt me To show you my love But you're already awayre of that. You just pretend like it doesn't exist You're acting like you don't know what I feel for you when I look into your face eveydayy! You know you're telling me that I'm your friend all the time to know where my place is As if there's nothing else than friendshi for us. As if there's no other way for us Is there another way Asu? You are the only way for me I will lean to you when I fall! When I will cry and laugh then with you If I will tear my heart out then from you and I'm full of the joys of spring then also because of you Don't you understand it? For me everything is you. You! You! You! And only you! For me there's only one way Asu For you the only way is Nihan, I know That's why I only tear my heart out Aau! 'So you're never telling me. Are there girls who are into you? I'm sure there are. I don't know. I don't think there are. So you're saying that you would realize it when there were? Nah no I am not interested in it. Because my eyes don't see anyone else besides you. Of course they won't see anyone else or I will claw out your eyes. Well what if you will be interested one day? And if you let me without clawing out my eyes. Let's say I didn't claw them out. You met a girl and fall in love with her and you realized it. What would you do then? So what would you do? After all there will be two woman in love with you. Are you one of the girls? Of course it will be me! Who else could it be? Well but who's the other girl? What do you want to do with the other girl? Do you want to choose her? I don't know who the girl is. So you will be interested in her if you'd knew, right? Well fine, but don't I have to choose one of them? - You will choose me! Me! - What kind of ame is this? - What a strange game! - It's not a ame. It's not a game! It's love. Love! If we're talking about love then we don't have to choose. Why? Because you can't choose love. It will choose you! But I chose you under dozens of worshipers. Because you are love. And you chose me. And you left me no other choice I wanted to call you Why haven't you called? Why have you called? Because you haven't called I definiteley need to see you. There are things I need to tell you Will the things we have to tell us never end? Do you want it to end? It should end Let's not say anything to each other anymore. Just let us stay away Is this possible? But it's also not possible this way Nihan You're married I can't do it like this I will wait for you at the glade tonight Oh Mr Hakki didn't look well at all. This huge man oke down Mommy! Why are you talking like that? Asu is already sad! Do you think I don't know how to talk? And besides never mind me. You should look at yourself. Actually you shouldn't upset my beautiful daughter - Why am I upsetting her? - I don't know that. But if you will keep on with this mindset then Mr Hakki will die in disappointment God forbid - Who said it? - What? Come on you've heard it mommy. You've heard it Mr Hakki said it, right? Who cares who said it my son! am completely supporting Mr Hakki I stand behind his wish I also want to see you two get married Mother don't you also make me feel uncomfortable now What kind of answer is this? Not to make you uncomfortable Son, this is an important matter Father! Say something to her No offense son. But this time I agree with your mother Look at me here! First o all Asu is a world class girl. Is she beautiful? She is! Is she skilfull? She is Her heart is like a diamond. Mr Hakki is looking into your eyes to fulfill his wish and get married We are waiting for this. But what are you still after my son? - Tell me what's up. - M mother! Look! Whatever you say you're right. But this thing is not a matter of logic. This thing is matter of heart My heart is not with Asu With who? It's not with Asu. Okay she's very precious for me, yes. But not that way Look my son. You said that he's like your second father. Isn't that rude not to fulfill his last wish? Father! Wouldn't it be actually rude if I accept it? Is this not actually a lie? I can't marry with Asu just to make Mr Hakki happy My son, you will marry for your own happiness Mother! I won't be happy if I marry with Asu Why? Because of that selfish Nihan, right? You still love her. You couldn't forget her You still couldn't rip her off your mind She has ripped your heart off but you still couldn't get her out of your heart Well done I wish you could deny it my son He can't! Whenever he silences like he does now, means that he does it to not lie to us Because when he talks he will say I love her I love her mother! I still love her! Look! She didn't rip my heart off! It's still beating for her mother! Still! It doesn't matter if I stay silent or not but it's still beating for her! I love her! It's not in my hands ! So what does that mean. That your mother is ri ht, isn't she? You're upsetting everyone because of this girl No! Because of me I can't marry with Asu while I love someone else But I won't request this like Mr Hakki did my son I will say just one thing - ... and that will be the end. - Fehime. You will take your hands now and ut them between your head and think properly It's either that girl or your mother from now on Perish the thought And I was guessing if it's the father or his son - Were your guess right? - No. It was your father's turn I had no idea that the Acmzade women could be so witty Not all of them are And they are not very invitingly. Don't you want to ask me inside? - Kemal is not at home. - That's convenient. I came to see my aunt How good for you that I am stay in here now, right? You are saved to drive all this way and back to your aunt But we also could've met at the company tomorrow? You're both intelligent and witty. You understood in an instant that I came to talk business But we don't need to talk in the office premisses just because we're a family business. This way it's more ersonal Yes, what's the matter? I was about to ask you the same. Great minds think alike. Aunty what's the matter? What matter? The matter that you throw yourself at full speed into the business world - Oh you feel bothered by me? - Of course not. Did Vildan send you I don't like to be a mediator Would you like some tea? That was unexpected right? I have tea. Let me pour tea and you can'think why Leyla is in the office Thank you Efsane! Could you also ing me a coffee? - I guess it's coffee delight? - And yours? To calm down? When were you going to tell me? You received a notification. Were you waiting for me to tell you? You knew that Leyla would come to the company today She could have come an moment anyways For some reason I can't really trust you when the matter is Leyla This is what I have to say. Every day you're after attacking her again And is yours a Leyla-attack? And then against your wife? You have never regarded as ossible, have you? - That you would be on Leyla's site? - No About the fact that Leyla would take back her shares at the company You took that woman her house away but you've never thought that she could use her shares at the company I'd never thought she'd be bold enough You didn't think she would deign to do it Because you know yourself that Leyla would never deign for things like this you hadn't tormented her she would had nothing to neither with the shares nor with the company Don't think just because show the flag that this will be always like this Galip will never allow this Don't be so sure What did you say? I wouldn't trust Galip that much if I were you And I wouldn't underestimate Leyla That's why I want to say Mommy Don't you have a mother? - Excuse me, I don't understand? - Look at me! Stop calling me Mommy Momm and get on my nerves I am sorry mommy but that's the way I was raised. I come from an conventional family that's why Thank you Coffee? Please with sugar How are you daddy? Fine - As far as I understand you're not doing fine. - No, mother Vildan got stuck in my mind If she has bothered you then only because she had a bad day . think you shouldn't take offense Well it's not just because of today Vildan is not someone who can communicate very well with people, so she accepts hardly people in her life. You need to give her some time Well you're actually right. Our marriage was very sudden. Sometimes I'm saying I wish. I wish I had met Ozan? a long time before I mean when my other and Nihan met. I wish we also had met back then What would have been then? Everything could've been different. For example, Ozan and I would've caught our happiness way before I mean maybe my other and Nihan abla would again had oke up At least she wouldn't had married Mr Emir I don't understand what you mean Nihan abla was forced to marry Mr Emir I'm saying that I know it What you know is wrong. There was no force You don't need to hide it daddy. Ozan and I are talking about everything About your relationship. About your families. We don't want to have an secrets between us Ozan told me everything daddy. I know what happened five ears ago Look Zeynep. You are considered family now. I don't want you to feel an other way But whatever you know, it must stay within the family You would put us in a very difficult position even when you would tell it your own family No way! I would never say anything. - And besides this nothing you could tell openly. - You can't tell it. We also didn't tell it And Emir, thanks to him, ensured that this secret stay ed within the family I would be very glad if you would also keep care of it There's nothing to be worried about. Your secret is safe with me That's all? You just wanted to get back to your work life? Out of the blue? Not into work life. Back to work So I wanted to come back to my father's company But this company is mine now But I am not an employee of this company. I am one of your partners. - Saying One of your partners? You just 15 shares of one from man companies How would you know if that number won't increase one day? But I dislike in that you are interviewin me in every way ! I just wanted to know you! Is that a mistake? You wanted to know me? I understand So what have you found out about me? You got to me know very well Yes! Should we say good night if you drunk your tea? Yes. You're saying that this has absolutely nothing to do that Mrs Vildan bought the house and I believe you? I'm really glad But you haven't asked me question at all That's probably because there was nothing to ask about. But there should've been For example Why did your father buy the house? - I don't understand? - You don't know it. Strange! My father bought your house with Mrs Vildan Galip Kozcuoglu. A voice inside tells me that he didn't hel Mrs Vildan buy in the house but that he had a great contribution that you couldn't buy the house I don't understand what you want to tell me? You will understand it soon. Good night! And thank you for the tea aunty I felt like writing a peoem when I saw you I had no idea you were writing poems I don't write any You make me do things that would never come to my mind Things you wouldn't believe you could do Things you wouldn't expect from yourself And things you regret afterwards I don't regret it Would you do the same again? Would you kiss me again? It shouldn't happen again! That's why I say it wouldn't happen You're distancing yourself from me again If I would be beside you... then I would want it again! Is there no other choice? There isn't There is no other choice Because you are love. You chose me. And you left me no other choice Well what if there will be a choice for you one day? What if there will be a better choice than me for you? There won't be! Impossible. But this is love! It will hurt! If I am love then I could hurt you ma be one day. And if that day someone comes across you who would make you happier. What will you do then? Will you choose me again? I will choose you! I will always choose you! Awlays But I won't allow this. I will leave if I will hurt you more than love you. I won't eak your heart. That's why you came here now? Now you want to stay away from me I promised you. I promised myself I won't make you unhappy You're not making me unhappy But I can't make you happy either! - You could be happy with someone if I wouldn't be there. - Impossible! Impossible! This is not the roblem! But you could be. You have to be Has the time to be not arrived? The time to be happy without me has come Until eternity Until eternity I thought you would feel better? Look at you! I don't know it. I guess there's no way doing the right things that would make happy You tell me nothing and afterwards you call me crying There's nothing to tell you. I am doing what I have to do but it's hard If it's the right thing to do, then do it even when it's hard to do it. Do you have any other way out? There is not. I don't have any other way out. But I don't have the strength either Where? His car is still at the company s arage boss. - They will inform me when the car moves. - Okay Mr Kemal? Tarik is not here yet. - 1 know. I am here to talk to you I haven't understood what you want me to ask and keep it a secret from Tarik? Why did you lie? Why did you lie? - You were not with Tarik that night. - I didn't lie You wanted to protect Tarik. But I think you're not even awayre from you wanted to protect him Yes I wanted to protect him - ... because Tarik and I ... - You love him! That's why I'm here You need to help me if you love Tarik I don't understand. In what matter can I help you? Look at me Have you sensed any strangeness when Tarik came home that night? I mean was there anything he tried to tell you? Even if it was something small? I'm his other. I need to find out what happened that night for his well being I guess there's something I need to show - ... but I am not sure. - Whatever it is One moment He wore it that night. I realized it when he put it in the laundry What? I didn't wash it when I saw it. But I don't know if it was a good idea I don't know it either - Tarik shouldn't... - I won't tell him. Thank you Mr Kemal Is Tarik in trouble? I hope he's not Hello. I gave it Well done. But your voice sounds terrible Banu Thanks to you I feel terrible. I just sold out Tarik. - Don't worrry. Love will forgive everything Your other's destiny is in your hands now. Let's see how your hero will defend and handle looking this time Boss, what have you done? I'm done Zehir euop luj So you say it's that bad. It's Tariks. I couldn't sleep all night. Since how many days I was looking for a hint already I was making effort to end the doubts but You wish that something happen and you'd feel suspicious If there would be just one thing that wouldn't point to my other In that case I will put the boot in other Kemal This is the safety record from Banu's parking garage of the night Karen got killed So? So did my other kill her now? I wish there would be an ex lanation for this. I wish there would be It's hard my other Kemal But I need to tell you the hurtful truth as a friend Look I always use to say while there's life there's hope So you're saying that there's an explanation for everything? I'm saying that you won't know if you don't ask Do I have to ask Tarik? And what when he lies? He's other Kemal! He's your life, your blood. The answer is in your hand. You will know when he's Iying The right answer is in my hands. I will understand when he's I in But that's when you're real case starts other What are you going to do when you don't like the answer? Will you be able to ing your own blood, your own life, with your own hands to ustice? I told her that Mr Galip is not free at the moment... But she couldn't make herself listen. The madame has iji.o fault you can leave. Leyla Acemzade. You honored me - I am not here to honor you! I am here to inform you. - What? You have joined forces with my sister and bought my house. I can guess that you provide for an kind of expenses And I came here to tell my contact person that I will get back my house. That's one I'm waiting for the second impatiently came back to the board with my 15 share. So her share on the house wasn't enough for Vildan and she wanted them all And I want the complete shares of your company . This includes Vildan's 15. And I will take it and that is two - Mrs Leyla! - Wow I will present you a humbly advice Don't take me against you! You lost your house, don't also lose your shares left in your hand I don't need you to stay beside me. I am not like Vildan. I won't be for you I am sure of this. I am sure but in the end you have to take the house from me. They forgot to inform you about this. Yes I helped Vildan but not unreturned. In the end your house including the title deed is mine Then from now on Vildan is not my only enemy. You are as well This is up to you! We can be friends if you like. I don't have any doubts that we couldn't agree on anything What a shame that I have man doubts Mr Gali I got you before you left There is the perfect representative of the hetto family You keep on sneaking into the rooms.A marriage behind locked doors That's nothing. You should see me the day I unlock the doors An unconscious self confidence. Look that is also an attitude your family doesn't give up on How do you wrap someone around the finger Emir Kozcuoglu? Do you ask me? I feel honored I thought you're the one who knows best Since you wrap, foremost Nihan and her family around your finger I wonder what kind of scenario you've imagined? Let me say it this way. The main boy get the secret of the main girl's family in his hand And afterwards he takes the secret and says to the girl You have to marry me And what could she do about it? She's desperate and accepts it. You know the rest already Oh and the name is eh.. Marriage behind locked doors! How does it sound? The only thing that could come out of you little ain is corn stories like this Corny or not! I've heard it gains favors Since you still can hold a woman who is in love with my other in your hands It's good that I came to this house. Since you're already in this state You still keep on talking, instead of thinking that this upcould kick you out of this house in two minutes , - Zeynep. You know I would do it. - Do it if you have balls! No one can kick me out of this house as long as I am married to Ozan You're forgetting your pictures No dear how could I Send it if you like! But I don't know if Nihan abla will still stay in this house then? Your word against mine. Let's try it out if you like And she's also answering me! Look! Look! Look! Look is it over? No I'm not! This is just the beginning You have to see me on the day I will unlock the secrets of this house I hope I will destroy your fake marriage with my own hands I've heard about you uncle. I am really sad to hear what happened Thank you You haven't come here for this Do you love Kemal, Asu? Will you step aside if I love him? You are not even between us Nihan. You are just the ghost of the past Yes I know it. That's why I came here anyways for Today I am the ghost that is doomed by its past Asu, I made a choice years ago. More precisely I had to make it And I made Kemal very with this choice Sadly some choices are meant for life And with the choice I made in the past... I'm making Kemal.. His family I'm making everybody very unhappy I am a ghost and disappearing now Make Kemal very happy, will you? Because I couldn't make him ha What's up?

Mrs Zeynep asks a lot of questions. I thought you should know She can ask. She's new in this house. There could be things she's wondering about And you will help her But she's not only asking questions about the house What is she asking about? About you and Mr Emir! It wouldn't be a problem if she'd only ask me. For example she's questioning everyone in the kitchen This looks like tattletaling I'm sorry. But when you said you wanted to be informed about everything... Zeynep is Ozan's wife! She's a part of this house and family! Act like you didn't say it As you wish How many years are you in this house? It's been seven years abla So that means you also saw Mrs Nihan's wedding, is that so? Who knows how beautiful it was At least as beautiful as yours But she's friend's with Emir since the childhood,right? Apparently So their friendship turned into love, right? Very romantic in my opinion I can't get enough talking to you abla! Mrs Vildan doesn't like to see us having a conversation during work Mrs Zeynep Especially about personal life I so much want to eat fried dough! Do some fried dough some time They don't consume a lot of dough products in this house! Why that?

What has my son to do with a gun? Have you seen it with your eyes? How do you mean that father? I mean are you a witness to the homicide? Have you witnessed that your other shot someone this way or another? If that's so then there's nothing to say. Maybe it's not like you know Father! My other told me everything. He confessed everything We will find out now. We will find out Tarik! My sjbio Tarik! My son Let me talk to my son My son, could you excuse us for two minutes? Please? Impossible madame.

You can be rest assured! Let's go and ing this thing over with Thanks God I have a right to call, right? You have but you can only call one person There's anyways only one person I will call Thanks God, Thanks God! Hello Emir Kozcuoglu? That's me I'm calling from the public security office. Tarik Soydere wants to speak to you Keep it short Hello Mr Emir, I need your help What gives Tarik? It's nothing good Very bad things happened They found out God damn it! How? They will take me to the interrogation room now. What do you want me to do? First of all you will stay calm. And then you won't say a word until I come You will demand for a lawyer and won't talk! Do you understand that? I understand, okay! Don't you dare doing something stupid! I'm coming now. Wait for me You made the hard choice Kemal. But it's already amusing A good morning Mr Tufan. Get our best lawyer and come. We re going to save Tarik My son! My son! My son! It's all good. They will take me to the interrogation room now. It's a formality He said he didn't do it. You can't hold him him here We've got a report sir. We have to interrogate him What? Who would report my son? Why? You need to ask that your son Kemal! What's your other talking about? Why are you doing this other? I'm not doing more than you did to your other, my other! Kemal! My son! What's your other talking about? My son! Talk! Have you throw this dirt at him? He must have carried a grudge against me! My other hates his other enough to defame him with homocide! But I had no idea They're taking my son away It'll be over soon. Stay calm. Let's sit. Get over there Everything will be clarified The detective will come soon He can come but I won't say a word until my lawyer comes Why have you defamed your other? I have not defamed him father! I asked you if you saw it with your own eyes. Does it suit you to do this without seeing it? And then to your other? Father! My other confessed everything to me! He said it himself to me! Maybe he said it himself. Maybe you're fighting again as usual. Maybe he said it just to spite! Maybe he said to make you angry! Maybe...maybe he said it to test you my son? To test me? Do you want to enforce making your other a murderer? Enforce? Father! I made the right thing! Just like you did! You taught me this father. I'm your son Now you're turning away from me...But I did what I learned I haven't done nothing else! Nothing else! Nihan abla! What's wrong? We'll have to talk, Zeyneb. You can ask me whatever you want to ask I don't understand what you mean I mean whatever you're curious about. I can answer you. You don't have to grill them about it I guess in this house no one is used to it but I just tried to make conversation Of course that's impossible because you chose robots as servants Helper! What? We don't say servants. And it would be nice if you also don't say it Okay fine, I will also say it like that Efsane! Have the children woke up? Mrs Nihan woke up. I haven't seen Mr Ozan I wanted to look for Ozan. We re late for eakfast I'm not finished talking I've tried to talk with you before you didn't listen to me. You didn't even let me talk Excuse me but in what matter? About Emir Apparently you're going to blame me again Look! Back then you denied it too and I didn't believe you. You married Ozan but I still don't believe you. Somehow I don't believe you Zeynep That's what I don't understand Nihan abla! I got married to your other. How else could I still concince you? You will have to convince me Zeynep Not that you're married to Ozan What else can I do? I'm really curious For example your attention will be on Ozan not at Emir and my past Look where you've made out of a little conversation Nihan abla I'm going to wake up Ozan. In other words my husband You don't love Ozan, Zeynep Pray that my mother won't see the same that I see in you What will happen when she sees it? I mean no, there's nothing to see anyways Let's say she sees it. What will she do? I am very curious I would kick you to the curb in two seconds! Mom! I handled it, it's okay Then I won't listen to Ozan. Show no mercy. Then you will find yourself back where you came from And besides, I won't let a woman who doesn't love Ozan live in this house. Do you understand me? Apparently everyone is still under the influence of their nightmares. There's nothing to be afraid about mommy. I love Ozan more than anything I would have liked to say that it's a fantastic day to declare your love but... I can't say it. I'm interrupting your Golden Day but your other got arrested Zeynep What? Which other? Well you have enough others who could get arrested anyway The one who is more prone to quarrel. Your other Tarik I wonder why he got arrested? I don't know it my beautiful wife. I will go there and find out now Of course not! Are you going to pick him up from the police station? He made them call me. In the end he is my employee and relative I'm coming with you It's your God-given right. Of course I'm coming too For what reason do you want to come? I'm the ides sister-in-law reason Of course there are enough reasons when the family grows Mommy! Can you tell Ozan when he wakes up. Will you do that? I'm a bit busy today Leyla, I couldn't take the call... See you tonight Okay sweetheart I hope nothing's wrong Good morning craftsman Good morning. You're an early riser I wake up early. Very early But how could you know my morning habits, right? What's that? Is that for Kemal? I wanted you to see it after you woke up But seemingly you're earlier than me Wow Daffodils My most favorite. You haven't forgot You like to wake up in the winter to scent of daffodils I wanted you to feel the scent in the morning until you get back your house! For a moment I thought to pay you back with tea but I don't plan to pay you anything Because I need to pay As if that's possible Leyla! I want to pay you every morning of the last thirty years. I know this is really hard but... It's not hard, it's impossible I want to try. If you allow me to Do you want to pay by planting me flowers? Then do your maths and calculate how many plants thirty years make Whatever I do is useless. I know you won't forgive me. But if I can give you even one morning back... You will be happy You will feel inner peace I don't want to make you happy. Make yourself happy however you will do it. But don't get me into the settlement of your heart Are you finished? Is that all? So are you not going to rip them off one by one hand throw it on my head? I will for sure not rip off living plants to chase you away Don't take credit for it No offence boss, but you know that I'm allergic to this buildings How's the situation? My other is in interrogation And the shirt is at the forensics So I don't know Zehir. I don't know it It's not your fault other Kemal I mean should you have not covered it up because he's other? Many do it. But you're not one of them It's hard Zehir. Nothing compares to a other. You can cover up every fault your other does but not this You shouldn't cover it up! Your conscience needs to be like mirror when appropriate If you don't face him with his sin then he will forget that he commit a sin And later he won't be your other nor your life anymore I saw it like this but now... You have piled one trouble on another other Kemal What gives? My mother! My father! My other! Everyone has turned against me In their eyes, I'm like a traitor for them Zehir Look agha! This maybe not a thief's right to say it but you did the right thing I can't distinguish right from wrong any longer. Why is everyone so devasted if I did the right thing? Right is not the same right for everyone agha Not everybody will be happy just because you did the right thing For someone it's right, for someone it's wrong. That's how it is But sometimes hell is the same for rightness and wrongness So you're devastated because your other might get into prison. But why are you down my wife? I'm not down. I'm here to support Zeynep I understand Is it because she's Ozan's wife or is this wish coming because of your past acquaintance? Alright, so why are you stand by Tarik? Because he's your employee or because he's Zeynep's other? Do you think that you're talking in code or so? I mean no, because I do understand everything You're nuts Zeynep. Your other faces lifelong but you're still after entertaining us I guess I need to admit it Emir has reached his goal There's no such thing. Hold on there What was Emir's goal? What was the reason for so many games? Was it not to isolate me Zehir? But you're not lonely other Kemal! Worst case I'm there He aimed for my other! He hit my with my other He forced me to make a decision. And you chose the right thing to do By handing over my own other A other who killed someone By taking my family against me You did what you had to do other Kemal He left me all alone Zehir. He wanted this and he did What else could you have done? What can a man do other than the right thing? Tell me Well what if someone else would be in my place? Would he had responded the same way? You're not someone like that I'm here boss. I'm waiting for yo Police station. Last stop Zeynep. Go run inside and look if there's a mirror This behavior always gives price that you have your hands in this. Just so you know Brother Brother what happened? Where is my other Tarik? Do my parents know? -Stay calm. Stay calm. They're all inside. Come with me. Come on I think it became a classic that the killer returns to the homicide You've got Tarik into big troubles and now you're here to watch it? Was it me who has put him in big troubles or his other who handed him to the police? I see what you're trying to do and I also know I also know why you're doing it Do you see it and raise? Or what is it? - will raise it! You have caused me great suffering. But I will tear your heart out It seems like you've found a new method No Old methods! A tit for a tat A tooth for a tooth. Blood for blood. An eye for an eye. And it goes on You have caused my family pain. Do you think an eye and a tooth will be enough for me? Happy me I am an only child. I always used to say that my biggest chance in life is to be an only child and look now I am really sure. How can I say it, a sibling is your weak spot. It causes you trouble. Trouble Everyone has dirt. You have it too Rip it off if you can find it Look that's what I'm doing. I rip it off whenever I find it.What are you lacking? Think about that. I need to go see Tarik You don't even said I'm sad to hear what happened. You behave shamefully I'm really sad Don't be sad Don't you want to look at my face Kemal? I have bigger troubles than you and me, don't you see it? I know. Siblings are bigger than you and me At last you're admitting it too Kemal! I am the person who understands you the most! Your pain is so familiar to me Do you know how guilty I feel although I am not guilty? Don 't feel it I wish it would as easy as you say it I wish The love for a sibling is the biggest love. You know this the best Mother My daughte -Mother My daughte Mother! What happened? Where is my other? They took him into interrogation. They took him in Father What are they doing here? Have you found us here too? - I'm really sad to hear it -Don t! Don't be anything for my children Mother! Nihan abla ought me here. They came for my other. To be by our side I don't want their foul-weather friendship If you have anything to do with what happened to my son.. I'm a friend Mr Hoseyin. I'm here to help your son We have not seen any friendship from the Sezin family. I'm not the Sezin family. I'm a Kozcuoglu. You can be at ease Mr. Emir. I'm sorry to hear what happened -Thank you. Tufan! Bring Mr Hayri to Tarik and let him help while Tarik gives his statement As you see The solution lies in Kozcuoglu Boss! What are we exactly doing here? He wanted it! Tit for tat This is not wanting,this is provoking You need to say if you want it He never fought honestly against me! His problem was always with me but he always prefered to sneak in from behind instead to solve it with me He reached to my family. He wanted to hurt me with my family He never came to me! We would not be here if he'd decided to come to me without involving anyone Zehir But he wanted this What exactly? To beat him with his own weapons! He told me that he has no family I can hit him with. But he has! He has! But I know it! I know Emir's biggest weakness His mother! Mojgan Kozcuoglu There so many news in the archives about the death of his mother but she lies here like a dead No one knows about it. In a way no one knows about it Like a secret And you will solve this secret, is that so? I will solve it. I will find out why they're hiding this woman here I will show him what it feels like the same he did with my siblings to me What do you think is behind this story? Is it something that could harm Emir? Why would he hide his mother here if it wouldn't be something that could hurt him? Alright, let's get to the right way to do it Tell me what I have to do? Him Who? Mojgan Kozcuoglu's doctor It's obvious that he's looking after here since years. You will go after him Zehir. - Find out who he is - Okay Let me move forward before the bird flies away Salih! I need you other I need you to find a death certificate from 25 years ago Her name is Mojgan Kozcuoglu My other knows the truth. - I confessed to him. - And now you will deny it How that? But you're saying that they have my bloody shirt How's that going to work? What will it matter if deny it? I didn't know what to do with it! Why haven't I torched it! I don't know why I didn't get rid of it I trusted Banu! I trusted her. I thought that no secret would leave that house How could she do this to me? Why? Forget thinking about this now! Concentrate yourself. You will do what I tell you The bllod stains on that shirt won't belong to Karen Gorkaya How that? You can thank Mr Emir for it. Now open your eyes and listen carefully. I will tell you your statement about the blood shirt It's about that night. After Mr Banu came back home... Have you missed your lover a lot? -Nothing will happen to him, right? Look! You've promised me. I'm dying out of pangs of conscience You're making needless drama. If you like we can make you play in a tv series? You're a beautiful girl Emir tell me! You promised me. Nothing will happen to him, right? You have my word I will never sell out Tarik. You won't sell him out. I will give you a new shirt You will change this one with Tank's one and give me the old one. There will also be blood on this shirt. A dilly daller who got into a fight Tarik will smooth down the fight and look Tarik's shirt will get in touch with the blood from the one who got stabbed How's it? Do you feel at ease? Even if Tarik is not as precious to me As to you, he's still precious to me. Ask me darling. Don't hesitate and ask What do you have to with this? That what you see. I'm rescuing him He's really a murderer. Or else Kemal wouldn't had handed him himself to the police. You know this too Then go and say it. Tell them what you told me. Tell them that you're a witness What did I tell you I don't remember that I have told you something Your memorey got weak these time. I'm thinking about starting a B12 therapy. Every morning I will make you swallow one for me and one for you No one can prove that Tarik is a murderer as long as I don't want it Why are you doing this? Kemal did what you couldn't do But as far as I see it didn't make him a heroe this time Do you want to do the opposite of Kemal? It's a good strategy but simple. Don't you see it? I'm giving him the lesson of his life I'm leaving him all alone I overslept! Good morning. - Good morning Where's Zeynep? -Outside There are some things I want to talk about with you Get it out mommy. Let's see what topic it is this time I really have serious doubts again Zeynep Don't start it again mother. I believe to know that she has other plans about this marriage Even with this house I'm sick of it! I'm serioulsy sick of it. Sooner or later I will take Zeynep and leave this house Efsan where is Zeynep? I don't know if they have arrested her other know, or if he's at the station. Something like this What? How can you say it now? The family is not a family! It's like a calamity team. -I don't believe you! I don't believe youlWhy haven't you told me? Oh my God What was this girl's name? Which girl's madame? The name of that girl who is from the same neighborhood as our girl is from -Ah Serna! You will go to the neighborhood, find that girl and ing her to me Let's see if she's as dumb as she looks like - You haven't done anything bad. - I know it Asu Then calm down That kind of life doesn't exists. I chose to carry this load I would have get on top of someone if I had silenced and hid But now I can carry the load even if it's heavy now My other will serve his sentence and I will never leave by his side But he will get dirtier if won't pay for what he did Brother My son! My son! My son! Where are you taking my son? -Madame! Madame! Madame! Mother I'm sorry that you have to go through this It's someone else who has to apologize Tarik. The fault has the one who reported his other like a criminal -Emir please But don't be worried. I will do everything in my power to make things right again I didn't do anything wrong. I will tell everything Everything Come on my wife Brother Don't! Don't you dare coming closer Brother look! I am here despite everything. I'm by your side, I haven't turned my back to you If it's true what you told me then... -What did I tell you? It's enough! Shut up. Enough with your lies You did this to me! This! You did it! You have embarrassed my parents. Look! Look how they are! By my side! Stay away from me! Backbiter Tell it other! Tell everything! It's better to serve a sentence than to live with this sin and conscience And after that we will be shoulder to shoulder You're defaming me! You throw dirt at me and then you're still able to talk? Don't do it other From now on I'm done with you! And that's flat Brother And I thought ours was a family tragedy! Thanks God Are you very sad? - Brother - Father If Tarik is innocent, which he will, then how do you want to overcome this sin? My other is guilty. He killed someone. -Shut up! Don't talk Look, I don't think he is in the state to care that you're sad. He's struggeling to explain things to his family A life has gone father! A life has gone! Am I defaming someone innocent? Don't you think I'm not sad? Don't you think that I am cut to the heart father? Don't do this I didn't do anything wrong. It was my duty to ing him to justice My son is not a murderer or else. There's no evidence, no witness. We will wait for the results from the forensics Father! My other told me everything. He confessed his crime to me What could I have done? Should I had said Don't let it go any further? I won't be one of them . Just like I don't defend a murderer who comes and hits someone who's alone with the car I won't defend my other. There's something called justice This is for all of us! Have you not said father. It's the biggest sin to know something and silence father? You're unable to stand it because you don't want to believe it father You're just fooling yourselves There's nothing left to talk. Let the court come to a conclusion first. Let them analyze the evidence and then we'll talk Mother! Don't you believe me either? -My son is not a murderer! - That's enough! - Asu abla! Please don't interfere Aunt Fehime! Uncle Hosyin! Don't you know Kemal at all? You know that you can't protect Tarik in some way Would Kemal attempt such a thing if he wouldn't be sure? I'm so damn sure that Kemal not only did what he had to do but also the right thing It's hard to admit it. But you can't cover this up by running away from the truth and blame Kemal He won't allow it. And he didn't Come let's go Father! Father! I'm having Kemal's back and always will. I was expecting the same of you Doctor Kadir Zenginler My wifey I will go with them -Aye Aye Your biggest test, huh Mr Kemal? But you're doing good! Congratulations. -Are you alright? What's going on? Is Tarik abi okay? Come we'll talk on the road and besides I'm sure you haven't eat all day Do you need something? Is there anything I can do? There's nothing left we can do Ozan. Come let's go Thank you I'm not doing anything for anyone Just my place is next to him. That's all Address Brother! I understand you. We all are shocked. And you know how my parents are They are ingoring you now but they will get used to it. It will come out anyways if it's true None of you believes me! None of you! - Brother - Go Zeynep! Leave right now Zeynep Come on! Come Kemal, let us also go. We can eat something first There are things I need to do Asu Mrs Asu - Where are you? - We're on familiar terms Stop this attitude. There are things I want to talk with you about As you know I just left the police station. I could tuI'm around and we could talk on the road? I'm waiting Don't wear yourself out while you're right. And keep me informed about the events. Okay see you Hello! They wanted to provide me with a room. - Is it ready? -Yes! - Let me take you there. - Leyla! Welcome Yes, I'm listening or should I have said please? Leave Kemal alone now! And keep your hands off his family Kemal and Nihan don't have anything to do with each other - It doesn't look like that for me. - But it is You don't want to admit it! You can't share Kemal,can you? And I can't share Nihan Nihan told me about-the feelings she has towards Kemal vvith all her honesty Look, that draw my attention She said that she wants us to be tyery happy! So there's neither Nihan nor anyone else between us anymore And you stop harming Kemal and be jealous of Nihan You're making this war bigger out of nowhere! So? Are you not going to thank me? I'm the one who ought you together. There's nothing left I haven't done since months to push Kemal towards you If we say to draw his attention away from youir wife? You might see it from this side. But I prefer the other one Kadir Zenginer Look! As far as Bug found out that man worked for the forensics until 1991 Later he left there and opened a doctor's office Look at this thing! The same year Mojgan Kozcuoglu was declared dead We need her death certification. And we need the ones who signed this document I'll bet anything on it. There's also the signature of this Kadir Zenginer under it So our man is clear Salih! Talk with Bug if he's able to get the forensic documents. We need the documents of that year Zehir! And let us go visit this doctor Boss! Why don't we look for someone corrupt from inside? What do we want to do? Do you want to ibe someone? It'll be comfortable for us Never Zehir! OK fine. Come on - Okay I'm outtie! I'll call. - Okay see you Zehir! How did we find Nihan? How did we find Karen? But this guy called Emir made himself a way by hiring men And he crumbled by a little earth quake! That's why I would never trust this business connections. And not entrust them with my secrets Who says that they won't sell me out for money one day? Tell two guys from the neighborhood to come in front of the doctor's office - Follow that car! - Are you serious abla? What do you think? Come on, drive quick Have they locked Tarik abi up now? What happens now? Oh gosh Oh my head Alright geez! I will find it out anyways now Your voice is strong but useless. Because Zeynep is not at home So? I'm here. Is that not enough? Come sit In the name of God What would you like to drink sweetie? My Sema! Since the first day I saw you I took a fancy to you I know that I can trust you. After all you're Zeynep's best friend, right? The last time I made conversation with Zeynep. That was the first time we got so close She mentioned about a sorrow I hope nothing's wrong? This guy with the boat. What was his name again? Salih Yes! Yes! She told me that the reak up with him had nothing to do with Ozan Yes. I mean that's true She said there's someone else I wonder why she said that Someone was in the house at that time. Someone from this house I don't know, it feels like she's afraid of him. I guess you understood that, right? Has she really told it? What? Sema? My friend Welcome Sema. -Thank you Ozan What are you doing here Sema? I called Sema here. I wanted her to be here by your side because you will be sad today And we were having a ief chat until you came here About what matter were you having a ief chat mommy?

I also feel so sorry for Zeynep Have you told your mother-in-law about Emir acting like a fool? What? What did she ask you You haven't let something slip, have you? No...No I haven't! But she looked liked she really knew She laid out a bait for you girl! She's suspicious girl! What am I gonna do? I need to do something I need to block her. She can't find out anything about the past Welcome Hello Hello! Please. What are you complaining about? Excuse me? I don't understand You made someone's autopsy in the year 1991 It's impossible to remember how many autopsies I did until today On top of that if you look from today I will make you remember, don't you worry Because it's impossible to forget this person Because this person is still alive Would you leave? Are you a cop? What do you think? I don't know what you're talking about You certainly know it You understand that I was talking about Mujgan Kozcuoglu about ten seconds ago No! No! No!

Mr Galip is offering me my house. Under the condition to be his tenant I guess you don't know. Sometimes I feel sorry for you Onder, do you know that? Look that house is not Vildan's! That house is mine's! With that right I am offering Mrs Leyla a favor I will take that house from you. And even with your dream to make me a favor One moment. One moment! This is not acceptable. We can handle this No one asked you for your opinion! Unqualified person! Vildan shouldn't had trusted you! You don't help anyone in now way without getting something out of it! And you're doing the same with Leyla now Onder! I'm a business man. But I'm treating Mrs Leyla as a man of heart Except for this matter. And besides do you mind if I do it?

I see why you're trying to sneak into this house. Do you understand me? Zeynep! Could you leave us alone? Of course What am I going to do? You took the house from Leyla for nothing. Because Galip snatched it away What do you care? You have shut off your mind! You deserve everything that Leyla does to you You're right you can't know my daring since I have saved it for me until now You're the puppet of the old Vildan. You're a bad imitation of her Because that Vildan, wouldn't take her mother's and father's house out of her sister's hands, that house that is her only support in life, and give it to Galip Why have you done this? Why? Nihan told you that she's ashamed of you. I will go even one step further. You're nobody The man whose house you entered has come! How that? How that? Boss what's what happened? Oh the pain of my neck! She followed me Is she here? She said that the house owner came Hide! He's inside It's going to be a bad evening, right? Who are you? What do you care? This man entered your house In your home! In your home! So do you think you will ask the questions or will he ask it? What do you want? About 25 years ago you prepared a fake death certification in the name of Mujgan Kozcuoglu But she's still alive You need to tell me something so that I won't send you to jail Do you know why she committed suicide? There's someone who knows. There's a witness And you have a copy of that document If I give you the name... Then let s say you will keep on living Give me your secret so that I will keep your secret to me I need a some time Who knows how many law suits you have closed irregularly Who knows Here is her signature Nursen Haran Peace be with you agha's Peace be with you boys These friends will guard the justice for a while What are we going to do with these corrupted persons? We will ing them to justice Alright! Who's the next target? Find Nursen! We need to find this woman Do you really think she knows? The doctor and this prosecutor have both been ibed with money. All we have is this woman. And on top of it she used to live in that house We need to take advantage of this. We have no other choice We need to reach the end of the line as soon as possible. I can't keep those people under house arrest any further Which men? What are you two up to here? What are you doing here? I'm not running after you I'm not asking this. Why have you followed me? Thanks to me you saved yourself getting caught to that guy. Don't mention it Nihan! What do you want? I thought you weren't doing any investigations about Ozan? We re talking about my other here Kemal. You can't investigate by yourself It's not about Ozan You found out about the audio record, right? What record? What record? When Taner kidnapped me, he told me that there is an audio record only he knows where Think good about it! Has he not told you an address or dropped a hint? No! He just let it drop during he talked. Maybe he just bluffed I don t think he bluffed. Keep your eyes open. Maybe it's not somewhere but with someone? He might want to use it against Emfr. Maybe he packaged it at home.... Have you not quit going after this thing? Why are you interested now? It was just to keep me away right? We are drifting apart from the reality whenever we're getting together Why that? Does reality have an allergic reaction towards me? Yes! And there's no therapy for it! It has become chronic Unfortunately you need to get used to live with it gentleman Look! We started this thing together and we will finish it together Why are you looking like that? Nothing You will tell me everything if you don't want me to make a move independent from you. Okay? Getting threatened! That's just what I needed! I will do it! You know’l will! Would'nt I know. Okay! I accept it as an agreement then. Now it's your turn. What are you looking for? Or is it something about Tarik? I wish Tarik hadn't confessed the murder to me. I wish I could have a doubt even if it'd be just a tiny one Then I would have turned everything upside down to save him But you did the right thing. You did what I, my family, what no one could Kemal! But it's so hard Nihan I know it Are you going to tell me now Do you understand me now? Never! You've always understand me Unfortunately life is testing us with something the same person did and you passed this test But I failed Who knows maybe I will pass it thanks to you in the makeup test. That's why I don't want you to leave me out of the events, alright? What are you trying to find out from these men? A secret. Emir's weakest spot. I'm investigating for the reason his mother died Because? For God's sake Kemal, don't do it! Don t make me drag every word out of you! Come on tell me! This thing is no joke! I don't want you get harmed. I declared war to Emir! I don't want you to be in between I am already in between I can help you Kemal! I'm closer to Emir's life than you are If there's something you want to ask then please ask me Why do you think they have showed her as dead? Why haven't you told me about your mother? That she tried to kill herself? Emir this is nothing one would hide! And nothing to be ashamed of! Why? My father didn't want it! He wanted it to be kept a secret. This is how it is ever since I remember I don't even know the reason Why haven't you asked? Nothing would change even if I had asked! In our family we do what Galip Kozcuoglu says Because she committed suicide. His father wanted it like this Well do you think that there also could be things that even Emir doesn't know about? That's what I'm going to find out Have you heard the name Nursen Haran before? Well has she not left any note or else something? She wrote Out of lovelessness That's all And later she let herself fall into the emptiness Was she alone? No! My father was there, I was there And there was Mrs Nursen, her best friend, old and faithful friend She witnessed the last moments She said She was in front of the window when I entered the room. She let herself fall before I had the chance to do something That's what she said to my father She was Mrs Mujgan's helper. She worked with her for many years but she quit the job after the suicide event. I mean that's what Emir told me. Why? That woman may know everything What are you suspicious about? I am sure that the Kozcuoglu family is hiding a sin that they don't want anyone to know about But do you know where the woman is? Zehir is investigating Kemal! Inform me when you find her,okay? Don't force me to follow you again You really started to overdo this threathing game! What do you want me to do? You leave me no choice Where's the waiter? We re sitting here with tea only. Should we eat something sweet? Good you 're not gaining; weight with this appetite! Thank God I don't or else you would throw it in my face What do you want me to do? Thatkmeans I'm craving for sweets when I'm stressed. Sweets makes me feel better One touch a thousand ouches Don't let me open the box and say bad things Anyway I should go'now Do not reveal something to Emir and Galip Kozcuoglu Don't worry. But inform me about anything new, okay? Go to Zehir, I’m coming now Where are you going? Okay Okay! I didn't ask anything Where's the boss sister? How the hell should I know? You're very soft again sister And shame on you Zehir! I thought we were the three musketeers? We were? I thought it was until death do us part? I swear you're like a Chief Commander sister! You will get someone going in two minutes Don't do this again. I would've expect you to inform me when Kemal doesn't No offence! But that's impossible Alright fine. So let it be! Where has this guy gone? Talk of the devil and he is sure to appear on the gossip Your arsenal Eat them all. You've become weak. Reload your energy and later you can nag at me again Merci My Zehir, would you call a taxi for me? Kemal! Whatever way we chose to walk, but in this matter we walk together That's why I want you to tell me things you know. Okay? I won't be the one who eaks our decision to eak up. You can be assured Here you go sister See you Say it Good night Good night. Good night sister Good night You have told her everything I told her. It's less dangerous to let her know rather than not tell her Have a good evening It was a hard day I understand Then there's no issue Kozcuoglu Holding means every day a new battle. You will get used to it soon...I hope Don't think about me, I'm trained. I've met way worse! I've seen way worse! Me too Excuse me? I was forced to live as someone who did you wrong I carried the betrayer stamp like a and on my body Enough! Enough! I don't want to hear it Yes you're right. Because when you might listen, a hole could crack and your heart might soften As if that's possible I know. It's not Time has stopped when you left That's why nothing becomes old, or die away. You left me without day and night And you know what's the worst? I lost hope At least you improved your literature. And I was waiting for nothing to listen You're right. You're always. Good night Come let me get you some food. Come My wife! You set up a one man band here Are you saving a confectioner from the ruin as a good deed? You wouldn't understand. Don't force your ain to even think about it. After all your ain is only working for evil things You're doing me injustice. Your husband also loves charity. The charity money that gets deducted from the tax is my work For example I want to donate my paintings for the renovation of a senior center. Would you also help? That's a dead investment Why have I expected any humanity from you You're a man who has locked his mother in a house I have not locked anyone away. She has left us She chose the easy way out And you're punishing her with loneliness You're visiting her just once a month You won't do the same to my children My patience is about to run out. Enough Mr Hakki! You're looking better today You're a bad Her. There's nothing to be sad about. I'm happy with the time I could spend in this world Except for one thing Mr Hakki You assume that I only think about Asu while I'm talking but I want to be sure that I also leave you happy behind I'm fine. Don't worry And I will protect and care about Asu until the end of my life - But... - First think Do you want or not want a happy home with a good wife, without enemies and fights, a past where she has not left any wounds? Do you want or not want to be a father and raise your children? Just think about these things I want to ask you for permission. I will come back later agauji Thank you I apologize in the name of my uncle He doesn't talk about anything else these days He's worried about me But are you alright? I try to be alright Do you have any news from your other? The forensic report comes out tomorrow Why is Emir still mess around with you? I mean he has no issues left with you Why? Do you know something that I don't? Nihan hasn't talked to you then About what? She came to me. She said that she will step aside and wants us to be happy Have you found the woman? How can you play with someone's feelings? Whose feelings have I played with? You went to Asu and talked to her in my name Knowing that she will raise hope, being aware of her feelings... I am happy that you've finally admitted her interest in you Don't try to get the upper hand! Please don't raise your voice against me because of Asu Nihan! You can't play with anyone's feelings, even if it's you You act like this issue doesn't exist and I just made it up! Your family wants it like that. This the last will of Mr Hakki and your father's and Asu is only too glad I don't care who is feeling what! But I do care! Kemal, we don't have a future! I want you to be happy! This ring will never get off my finger I accepted it. I want you to accept it too Nihan you are free to live the life you want But don't you dare trying to give a direction to my life Don't ever do this again Because even you can't encroach to my Nihan Why are you laughing? It's been a long time since I caught hell from you You have restored your factory settings. Thanks God! Why are you laughing? It's nothing -Tell me Something came to my mind What? Come on tell me I won't tell you Wonder about it! As a punishment But I will burst! Five years ago Kemal wake up! I swear I feel boxed in here! Let's open up a hole or something here. We will die here out of lack of oxygen Nihan what's going on? Nothing's wrong. What oxygen? Where should I find it? Look at me! I hope there won't be any wolf coming down here? We re in the middle of the town. Why do you think a wolf would come Nihan? Nothing's wrong. Good gracious You have an answer for everything Look we walked for so many kilometers, we are so exhausted. I don't get it, don't you ever get tired? Nihan look, do what I am doing, it's so good for your back What happened? I guess a bug touched my leg -Where? No! No! I really can't stay here! Bugs will bite me now or so Good God You have... You have nagged for so long to do something different for a change and now we came here and doing something different and you couldn't even last for an hour How could I know? That means I have claustrophobia You are a fiddler, you know that What is it again? I've got hungry I knew that this would happen to me How could you know? For God's sake! How could you know? As if we're camping every day. And besides I get hungry when my adrenaline rushes I should have become a lawyer or so instead of an artist Look how you peng peng peng peng line up your words like a shot Are you going to sleep and leave me here? Don't do it You are my sleep I'm diving into my dreams looking at you Come with such things to me There you go greedy smurf I don't believe you You ought food? Well I told you that I knew this would happen to me Do you want some? I swear I'm awake now Don't speak with your mouth full You dropped innuendos. So you're back at your factrory settings Thank you so much God I love you Not more than I do Zeynep Finally,! caught you alone Is something wrong mommy? I am in a hurry. I want to be beside my other that's why Don't worry. I won't hold you too long. Not now nor in this house I know that you don't love Ozan. The purpose of this marriage is something completely else Seemingly talking to Sema made you dive into a dream world Maybe you have used Ozan. Fooled him I would expect anything from you I doubt that this marriage is real You can ask if this marriage is real or not when you hold your grandchild in your arms. Then there won't be any doubts left. -Don't behave rudely Don't make me start talking My marriage is the only thing that's real in this house I will drop your mask I think you should start out to try with your husband first Boldface! Shut up or I will cause an accident! Do you understand me? There will be an accident but not because of me But for the love your husband feels for Leyla Acemzade Or haven't you been informed about the situation between them? I guess I have dropped a bombshell! Anyways I should better shut up You will tell me whatever you know! I think it would be better if you don't know. -I said tell me! That there is no day or night without her He was telling what kind of hopeless life he was having I wish you would be interested the same in your husband, your marriage as you are in me You're losing your husband but you're not even aware of it We will settle accounts later With pleasure! - What's going on? - Oh snap! I guess I really did something bad told her that I saw your father with Mrs Leyla while I was talking to your mom standing here What do you say! -How should I know? She just walked away. I didn't get what she was mad about What happened? Is there something between them? They have a ton of issue between them Like what? Mrs Leyla and my mom are sisters. -What? How's that? Is your dad in love with your aunt? -What? I think you shouldn't come with me. Stay here with your parents. Don't let them have a fight because of me But let me know okay? -Okay okay I will let you know Ozan?? -Yes darling? You haven't give your wife a good luck kiss There's sawdust in her head instead of a ain! For sure! See you To the police station? Yes Look at the coincidence. That's on my way Would you like to come? I would But I don't want it I don't take anyone's life who makes photosynthesis as long as I don't have to How can you do this to me? How can you do this to me? How can you do this to me? How? How? How? I don't know what she told you but she has twisted the situation No offence dad but don't blame Zeynep for it.

She's hold in high esteem of the neighbors, mean she's helping and harmless Keep Galip Kozcuoglu's biggest secret and don't have a penny in your pocket Then they haven't made an agreement with money. So what else? I mean I need something to make the woman talk. I need an opener Well there's nothing else boss. I mean I would if I could, you know it Well what about a husband, kids, family, friends?

Seemingly she's mute Hello I would like to talk with you Mrs Nursen, if you have time for me Do you understand the things I say? Look! I'm not a cop or a prosecutor But I will ask you about something that lies long in the past You witnessed something years ago No I can't bear it anymore. -Sister wait! Sister wait, don't go!

The things you know could be my freedom You're our only hope Thanks to you we could have an ace in the hole Why did Mojgan Kozcuoglu committed suicide? Neither the doctor nor the prosecutor who has signed the documents have any clue. Only you know Galip Kozcuoglu has payed everyone wih money and silenced them But except you Has he silenced you with your child? So where is your child? Where? Those impertinents used your child against you. They have threatned you with your most loved ones And you didn't say anything. Just like me! You need to open a door for me to make me fight these monsters Do you know what happened on that suicide day? Do you know it? It was not a suicide! Mr Emir! God bless you! You are a man of your word Your behavior changed in one day as I see Tarik. Stay calm I'm allergic to traditions From now on if you say die then I will die for you Mr Emir Finally I have won your trust Don't make me feel ashamed. I became confused when Kemal spoke ill about you He's our other after all and I'm just someone.

It could be become the most lethal weapon in the hand of his enemy It would make people fall on their knees What? Are you sure? But this is impossible Everything I told you is true Why else would I silence for the life of my son? This is impossible! This shouldn't be! Emir would go mad if he would hear about it And how! I owe you a lot Rip this family apart, that's enough for me Thank you. Thank you very much - Come on quick. - Okay Wait for me There's no time to wait - What is it?

Why would I listen to you I thought you were a rational man and came here to give you an advice But now I understand very well where Kemal Soydere take his courage from I wish you had enough days left to see how I will make him pay Kemal has long life in front of him. That's enough for me Haven't I told you not to walk across me again? What do you want from me? What? If you'd just listen once to me There's nothing left to listen to. Nothing! Nothing - Would I ever do something to harm you? You gave me the worst damage No I didn't do it! I knew you would be able to get out of there again And it was also planned? You don't get it. - It was intentionally. - Did it work out at least? Was everything as you planned it to be? I really regeret it But you weren't able to plan it right. Look, in the end you lost me. You weren't able to calculate this - Tarik please - Please what? Please what? Please what? What? What? You stabbed me from the back. This was the first time I opened up to a woman. Who I trusted. I believed you What did you do? You did the same thing like all the other women Tarik please! What are you doing? - What are you doing? Why don't you look out? - Tarik! I'm so sorry Are you alright? Are you alright? I never intended to do something that will make you hurt. I swear it But you did You made me and my other enemies What do you want? What do you want? Leave me alone! Son? Father, I'm sorry - Who did you say it to? - No one! I screamed at a driver Have you left home? I wanted to talk about something with you. If you could come here Sure I'll come I thought the things I will tell you would stay between us but you told him And I thought you would stay away from Kemal but you didn't and you don't Have you come here to tell me to stay away from Kemal? Yes! Stay away from Kemal,Nihan. I almost think you came here to put me in my place. You can think whatever you want. I am not really interested in this part. I'm just interested in the promise you gave me. You're someone who keeps her word, right? What did I promise you Asu? You said that you won't stay between me and Kemal And you said that I am not between you You've entrusted Kemal to me. You made the right thing.That's what you had to do anyway It seem hard to come together with Kemal as long as you walk around Kemal I was very sincere when I told you everything. There's nothing between us that you would think there is Then what is there? Something that you can't rip off and throw away in one day. Then you words were over nothing. - No it wasn't. I'm saying that there's no relationship between me and Kemal So the reason why we're side by side is something else I can't tell you But this is an issue. And we need to walk the same way to solve this issue. Good. Then I will accept this as a promise that you won't come together anymore after you have solved this issue. I should've guessed that you would come up with these kind of requests. Take good care of Kemal, Asu! Make him happy Asu Stupid Nihan! Stupid I know how to finish your issue Uncle Asu, my daugher. You will come to the company today, will you? Yes I'm on my way. Nothing's wrong right? No no nothing's wrong. I will hold a board meeting today. Uncle, why today? Don't worry. I want that some things will be decided before without further delay. We ll talk when you're here Okay I'm coming Yes father Come sit down. I want to talk with you about something Could we talk in the evening father? There are so many things I need to do today So you want me to cut it short? No at all father. What has it to do with that? Since you don't have any time to talk, I will come right back to the subject sir Tarik. Sit down Take this my child Put this apron on and come back to your work. Come back to your family Come back to your world Is this my world father? Isn't it my son? Look Tarik, you've tried to make your own way. You tried to be on your own and you made it But this world always dragged us into trouble and evil things my son. Give up! Come back. Let us find peace again Peace? Tarik! We've fallen apart. We've fallen apart. Come and let us pick up our family again. Come on my son Have I made the family fall apart? Have I disturbed the peace? For god's sake turn and look at your other children before you look at me Tarik! You're my first child. You will be the first one I will look for. It's been years that you don't get it You're the cornerstone of our family. You're my arms and my wings. It starts with you when I feel unsettled And it's again you where I will start to get myself together. Come on I'm sorry father. But I didn't start the things that happened to us. Not this time I am still your son. I am still by your side. I will always be your cornerstone. But don't tell me to come back My way is a one way street I would've never started this out if I wanted to turn around and come back Have a nice working day father The only thing I wanted to know was to find out if my other is innnocent Your other is innocent What? Do you know something Taner? Tell me There's a record somewhere. Only I know where the place is Have you not quit going after this thing? Why are you interested now? It was just to keep me away right? We are drifting apart from the reality whenever we re getting together. I need your help. But you won't say anything to Kemal! Promise me Your're saying we should do something the boss's back? Okay, yes madame. I'm listening Taner told me about a record whose place he only knows. We need to find it How do you think we should find it? We'll find it. And you will help with it. Yes but how? Why do you think I've called you? I'd say because I am a very clever man but... Bingo Okay. Where do we start? I don't know. l haven't thought about it yet. But tell me if you're in or out Shame on you sister. You don't think that I would leave you alone, do you? But I didn't quite get it why we re doing this secretly from the boss? Because we are drifting apart from the reality whenever we're getting together We won't hide it. We re hiding it for now. Let me first find something and later we can tell it Kemal Alright sister. Okay You know what? I can't conceive to the things you two are doing I can't conceive it either Zehir. Then what is this? I will do this behind your back and then I still come to you and give you a report - I guess that's how it's going to me - You know that you have a matchless job definition in this world. Appareantly Nihan won't stop getting after it. And she will keep on her own if I would stop her That's why you should forget it. It's better this way. At least you're in this thing I won't be wrapped up about her. I wont't worry. You don't need to have any doubts about that part. The sister is entrusted to me... but I didn't get what I have to do You will control Nihan. And you will... report every move of her Exactly! Exactly so Yes Asli Mr Hakki wants me to tell you that there will be an extraordinary meeiting of the boards Okay. I'm coming I'm going to work Zehir. - The sister is entrusted to you. - Okay don't worry. Are you free? Of course Leyla, please come in. Would you like something to drink? I didn't come to visit you. I came to warn you - Is it about Vildan? - I don't believe it. Do you also think that I will play the mediating role? Of course not! Do not drag me into your nhappy relationship Onder. Both of you stop coming to my door all the time Live your life the way you want. It's none of my business. It's enough I am neither your confidant or your shoulder to cry on. And definitely not your mediator Leyla, would I ever expect such a thing from you? Of course you can't expect it. It would be a huge rudeness! Listen, there would be so many things I would say, if I would start giving you adivice as a friend But you're neither my friend nor do I have any advice for you left after this Live the way you want, live the way you think it's right for you - Where is Emir? - He's not home madame The bathroom Sweetheart come and let's play together Oh no thanks. I'm getting bored by it It's because you never play it. It's actually very fun Keep on playing. - I will going out to the garden and get some air. - Okay sweetheart. But don't walk too far Mr Emir, welcome. Mrs Nihan... - What are you doing in my room? - I came to look for you Get out of here Get out of her. Out Okay I understand, you're angry but please watch your tone Or else what? Would you complain your husband to Kemal? I understand that you're like this because of Kemal It's already enough for me when you understand to get out Whatever it is! You can't come home and get your anger out on your wife! My wife? - My wife remembered that she's my wife. - Don't be rude! Are you not used to it anyway? Or would you've never thought that I chase you out of my room? But look what happend, times have changed, Emir is chasing Nihan out of his room. What are you doing? I'm kicking you out of my room I love when you're like this Why? Or is the way you like to get picked up getting beat up? No! I see that you haven't showed all your feelings so far in your anger! So you're still human, even if it's not much You have a other Emir Kozcuoglu! I will beat you with your own weapons Now you should be afraid of me! Because your heart is in my palm! Nihan! Get lost! What if I'm not Nihan? Haven't you get lost already You look frustrated. - Something happened to you. - You're very smart! Did you have an arguement with Nihan abla? I would say What do you care?. But it's not my style Zeynep I heard it You literally threw out Nihan abla out of the room? And you look like you're making the same effort Did you have an arguement because of my other? What do you want to do? Do you want to go beg your other to not upset Emir anymore? I am trying to be by your side, are you not aware of it I am aware of it. But I'm trying to figure out why You're a very lonely man... Do you know that? They'd also say the Lonesome man You're blowing like tornado sometimes As if the whole world is in your hands. As if everyone is in front of you But actually there's no one. And you know this too You're all alone. You don't have a shoulder to lean on You're so merciless because you don't have a shoulder to cry on Go Zeynep Okay I will go. But you should know this Emir. I will come anytime you want I got what you want. Let's meet at the grove tonight to give it to you. Are you alright I'm alright For this reason I want your dismissal as the chairman of the board I transfer fifty percent of my shares to my niece Asu Alacan and fifty percent of my shares to Kemal Soydere Any objections? I have an objection Mr Hakki Of course you will have. Because you could never accept such a thing I can't Mr Hakki Because you think that you haven't deserve it by your own hard work Yes So you think that so many experienced board members made the wrong decision? No, I most definitely didn't mean to say that But that's what you said Kemal. Because I haven't made this decision on my own Everyone who directs the company and wants the best for the company made this decision We are informed about Mr Hakki's decisions Mr Kemal. To be honest we would like to see you and Mrs Asu as the company management Do you see it? - They are prepared to sacrifice me. - Not at all Not at all Mr Hakki Trust in my experience my son. That's the best decision for the company My friends on the board and I want to entrust this company to you Thank you. We will try to be worthy of your trust Then we have a decision. Please tell the lawyers to start the share transert process Believe me, I found out today. I told him that you wouldn't like this idea but you know that my uncle doesn't accept any objections But I don't think that I deserve it. That's why I am uncomfortable with it The company or me? My uncle also entrusts me to you the same way like the company. The most important I do too Because I know that I will feel myself save beside you for all my life Asu! Listen, you will have a friend you can lean your shoulder on for the rest of your life. And Mr Hakki can be sure of this But I want more than that Now you're talking like this, but I know that you're feelings will change One day you will also see me differently. - You will see me like I see you. - Asu! Okay! I'm dropping this subject, I promise. I will wait patiently for this day to come Don't wait Because this day won't come. Do you know something Taner? Tell me! There's a record somewhere only I know where! If it's somewhere only Taner knows where... Then it's in Karen's house. Of course What's up sister? Fine. What's up with you? The usual Zehir! Yes madame I found out where to start! You don't say? When do you have time? I want to start right away I am busy at the moment. And I will be a little busy later too. Should we meet in the morning wide awake? Huh sister? Okay! Then we'll meet at the tea garden tomorrow. I will call you when I leave Okay! All right sister. All right I'm done Talk Zehir Boss My sister turned out to be a real detective Excuse me? I'm talking about my sister. She's restless. She said that she found it. She said we should go But don't worry I hold her up until the morning Zehir! You will inform me as soon as she calls Alright, I will Do you feel better? My faithful half I can pause if it's important? No no! Something came to my mind and I wrote to Serna Come in Are you guys watching cartoons? That's animated first of all Are you okay? I'm not Ozan! I'm not okay at all Is there someone between you who can make me feel better again? Did you drink out of fun or sorrow? Or out of love? None of them. Out of curiosity That's the first time I hear someone drinks out of curiosity Then you have never been enough curios Mrs Bride Then we'll watch a movie together How should we do it? Should I come between you? Then we should ask for more popcorn. This won't be enough for us Ayeaye my princess I'm coming right back What are you doing? What are you doing here? I am curious. I came here so you could see it in my eyes I get it. You're not feeling good. But why did you talk like that next to Ozan? So that your husband dig our forbidden love. Have you been terrified? You drank too much How else would I be able to come to your room? Watch your language! I'm not your drunkard's appetizer You're an appetizer one way or another You're really sweet Popcorn is here Enjoy it guys Where are you going? I'm going to vomit Come here. We're missing out on the movie What happened? They came together But boss it's not going to work if you're going the wrong way of this demon drink This thing's appetizer is conversation Have you ever took a life Zehir? No thanks god But when was the first time.. I stole? Am I right? The first thing I stole was the electricity at home I tapped the wire illegally so that my poor mother who lied in bed could watch TV And later I was taken away by the flow of the electricity and my hands reached further But what was later? Easily and quickly But have you ever hurt people? I didn't hurt as much as I was hurt Anyways... Let's forget me and talk about you agha Which answers are you looking for? I always chose to be on the good side Zehir My word has become my honor And my honesty my weak part I've never lied You're a specimen You have to say that I am withdrawn from circulation No man, not at all I am. I am. I am Look, even my enemy hits me with my honesty. What more can could there be The devil has the best tunes. And it's also easy to commit a sin What you're doing is hard I will send this devil 7 floors down! 7 floors! The deeper you get, the more you will get dirty So you're saying that I can't stay on the good side in the dark Can you Can you play it? Shame on you! Playing it is my thing Is there something special you want? Yarim derdini ver bana My dear give me your sorrows Dermanin olayim senin Let me be your remedy Bulbul gibi cemaline Sing like a bird to your beauty Asigin olayim senin Let me be the one you love Do you know that? How couldn't I! Kemal! Come on get out! Five years ago Who is there? Is there anyone? Who are you? What is my princess doing in the garden? Did I scare you? Of course you did! You're jump out of the bush in the middle of the night How's that? Weren't we supposed to meet? When? About 10 minutes ago I fell asleep. I am late How's that? Look at me! Are you still not wake? Why? It's fine. You're here. You're in front of me. You're beside me Yes I came. I am waiting for you here since ten minutes. Where were you, I was striking roots already That beats all! I really give up! I swear they should be afraid of you I was just kidding. Just kidding. Just kidding. I'm glad you came my lover Glad I came The monsters in the trees would have eaten me if you hadn't come here What else honey? No I really heard strange noises Oh are you always going to every noises you're hearing? No! Only to strange sounds Alright, then I forbid you from now on. No more walking towards strange noises You gotta be kidding me Of course dear! You will first look, then listen. You will listen and when you hear that it's your lovers voice then you can And what if it's not? You will walk to the front door. You won't look But what if's my lover's voice? Then you will run and hug him Why are you laughing? What do you think I did goofy? I came and hugged you Then never let go! Never! Pull in your ears! Close your heart. And only go to the voice of your lover My ears are pulled in. My heart is locked. Only you can open it Are you alright? I don't know. How are you? You're still following the noises Though I had closed my heart to all the voices When did you open it? Years later when you came back Is Kemal ever talking about my wish? No he isn't Maybe 1 have pushed him too much No uncle! You didn't just tell him your wish. You said him as an elder how things have to be like Maybe that's how it is for you. But it's also important what Kemal feels It's important of course. But I know it. Kemal will also feel it He will see that this is the best for the both of us You have something on your mind His love with Nihan is not real. It's a story that lies in the past. There's another reason that they are side by side at the moment What is the reason? I don't know it but I'll find out How? By collaborating with the right people My daughter. Don't start doing things without thinking, only with anger, that will upset you later on. Okay? Don't worry uncle I won't be on the side that will get upset at the end of this story I ought you what you wanted Thank you Are you sure of this? Don't worry I mean this is nothing dangerous, it's only to be sure Are you going to be sure this way? We re talking about the best method that exists in medicine I need you to do me a favor Sure. What is it? Emir's hair What? I knew you were romantic but I couldn't possibly guess that much Don't laugh Do you want one from the back of the neck or do you want one of his grey hairs falling down from his temple? It's for a DNA test. It should just serve the purpose You want to find Emir's other I hope so You know that you also need someone else's hair to be useful? It also works if I don't have his hair Okay Mr know-it-all! But you need a suspect. You know to match it. To compare it Come on ask me already! Ask me! Who are you suspicious about? Tufan Tufan? But Tufan is Emir's right arm in years now Sometimes the person farthest away from you is the one who's closest It's better to start from there So you tell me now. What are you after? What should I be after? I am after nothing Well what about this record? Don't you want to go after that? I want it. But I am waiting for you For me? When this thing is over then that will be the next in line It will be next, right? This were your words We started together, we will finish it together We presumed to do this thing together and we will finish it together I didn't hide anything from you Nihan What? You said Don't hide anything from me, if you don't want me to move forward on your own I didn't hide anything but you have moved forward again on your own I was not alone Of course you were with Zehir Have you really thought he wouldn't tell me? Sneaky Zehir No you're the one who is sneaky What do you want me to do? You wanted it Me? Yes you Didn't you say that the truth moves away as long as we re standing side by side? And I thought... You thought that you could jump out like an amazon and catch all the truth. Right? Why that mister? Can't women get something done by their own? Nihan, I give up. Years have passed but I still can't get a grip on you That's probably because I am an amazon woman I guess so So what are we doing now? I don't know. We need to ask you Why are you here? You know that Taner told me about that record, where only he would know the place? And you thought it must be at the farm house Don't you think? I don't know. Come let's take a look then. Stubborn witch! Cute witch! What? It's not stubborn witch! What you mean is stubborn goat and that's you. The other one is cute witch Are you a cute witch? Of course I am How can there be nothing inside? How can it be? Would you leave your private things back when you move away? How should I know Kemal! I've never moved in my life Leave this thing to me! Don't do anything on your own. Wait for me Look, I promise you to keep on from where we left when this thing is over Will we really keep on? We will! I'm doing everything to ing us together again Promise? Promise But you will also promise me that you won't do anything by yourself Promise? Of course dear! I promise..promise! Alright then Efsane! Did Mr Onder call? No madame I will be in the sauna a little later. Inform me when he calls Okay Efsane! Leave us alone fora while. No one should come inside Alright sir I told you that you will never be able to come back here when you walk out that door You said that I will come back on bended knee's but as you see I walked in here and be calm In the end you came back No I didn't I came here to tell you that I will get a divorce from you What nonsense are you talking about? Just one day separated from you was enough for me to look at life with my own eyes I am quitting on your eyes What happened? Are you not going to threaten me? Are you not going to offer me options? You know that you can forget the company if you're going to divorce me? The company? I forgot it already You can't do this You're right, I can't do it. I can't divorce alone. Just like in marriage two persons is needed the same goes for the divorce In this life this will be the last thing that I won't be able to do without you! Onder you can't get a divorce from me Do you want to try it? Let's try it. If you think you can divorce me after so many years and get together with Leyla No this won't happen Leyla would never give me this hope But you should know this. I would go after her with pleasure if she would have Anyways, you'll get the summons soon. Show up on the day and on time and the rest will be up to the judge You didn't even touch it. Or don't you like it? I know that you haven't called me here to have lunch, Mr Kemal In this case you can guess why I called you here I have a few guesses For example? I don't have time to play with you Mr Kemal I can guess that you have probably more important things to do For example like threatening Emir But I thought that we solved this issue? Is that why you're threatening him? For what reason Mr Kemal? Oh so you're threatening him No I don't But you oould be You would also be right But, I don't understand what you're talking about again I know that you're Emir's other Our conversations with you are a different kind of fantasy story You have caught Emir's sense of humor after all the years you're working for him Or is it genetic? Yes I don't know with what kind of thoughts you came here but let me answer you as far as I've understood from the things you said Mr Emir doesn't have a other Mr Kemal And it wouldn't even cross my mind to threaten Mr Emir Have a nice day Just you haven't even taken one bite of our food I come from the country At least you should have drank from my water. Or else I will consider this as an insult to my table Thank you for the invitation Thank you for the invitation In medicine there will always be alternatives Mr Tufan He's not here if you're looking for the prosecutor Where's the secretive? Not here? He's missing since yesterday Father He didn't come home. But that's so unlike him. And we called the police... Where are his documents? You will look everywhere! You will crawl in every hole! You will lay down every old document and folder in front of me Break this Tufan Kaner's legal guardian is determined as Galip Kozcuoglu with the beginning of 23 May 1991 Yes they are in the prosecutor's house at the moment. They must be about to find our document Or maybe they have already Where are you? I'm at home! Look at me! I don't like the tone of your voice Have you wiped out the prosecutor? Of course I wanted to repay him but he run away! I see that it all pours out of you. You can't hold neither a secret, your employee's nor your past to yourself Wait I'm coming. Wait! What was so urgent that you wanted to talk about with me Asu abla? You made me curious that's why Sit down Do you want something to drink? Something to eat? The same like yours Excuse me! Could we please have the same? So how's your life going? In your New World? Zeynep, calm down I'm the only person that knows your dirty laundry This thing is left in the past and it would be good if you leave it there Asu abla I am taking care of everything now. You should forget about it if you like Why are you not open towards me? Why don't you tell me that you're still loving Emir like crazy? There is no such thing There is! There's not You love Emir like crazy. You just have one obstacle Nihan! And look at this thing. Also between me and Kemal is just one obstacle Nihan harms Kemal, Zeynep. Emir's whole attention is on your other. And then the things you went through Is everything not because of Nihan? Emir wouldn't had even noticed if Nihan hadn't come closer to Kemal But it did draw his attention and what happened happened to you What do you want me to do? Actually I want something for the both of our interests But the thing is. Do you still want Emir? That's what I also thought If out of love or out of anger, you want to throw down Emir More than anything The way to take him over, to weaken him, is very odd but it's again through Nihan How's that? If you will show him one for one all of his wife's stupidity, all of her flaws, all of her mistakes... then Emir will get closer to you step by step Do you know what will happen if you tell him that you're not on your other's side but his and if you tell him that's he's an idiot that he still loves Nihan? What will happen..he would lock her up at home. And when Nihan is locked up, then you can become more attractive It will be impossible for Emir when Nihan goes to Kemal And you need to overcome this impossibility What do you want me to do? To spy for Emir? Should I report him every time I go to my other? Is this what you want? Yes. To him and to me And of course the thing you'll do for Emir is pretending to do it for the love you feel Let's say I did it. We have kept my other away from Nihan abla. What's my outcome in this situation? I mean I'm asking because I haven't seen something like this The whole spell on Emir will get away when Nihan won't be impossible for Emir anymore And you will be his only friend he will be able to talk about his dark feelings during his unmasked moments You will be the only one he will trust in this house Zeynep Because he will trust your love - Where is my father? - What's going on? - How long have you thought to keep on hiding it from me? - What? What? What? Look! I told you everything you need to know I didn't signed a paper like this Not your signature but concentrate on the information above Is that boy you put on my side six years ago, who said is trustworthy, my other? - Is Tufan my other? - There is no such thing! You're probably also having an unreasonable explanation for this too Listen, Tufan is an assurance to our secrets. He's someone else's child Emir, listen Emir. He's a boy that is held hostage as an assurance to keep our secrets safe. Then whose child is he? It's Mrs Nursen's child, who worked with your mother okay? Or did you blame my mother and have a child illegitimately with a servant? Look at me! Get yourself together! I'm trying to tell you the truth but you don't want to believe it You had 25 years to work om these lies. But you have tried to fool your son Mrs Nihan, this is for you This is... Oh my god Hello sweetie - Are you at the workshop? - No I'm out for lunch Of course taking Emir as an example The whole company is ready for a blood test as you said sir - Have you make an announcement to everyone that we have to do a medical screening due to legal duty? - Of course yes. Did it start? We ought the health officers in one of the rooms downstairs. And we'll start a little later. - 1 will also give blood. And send Tufan to me When do I get the results? It will be ready in two days What have you done boss? I reached the samples to the laboratory. Let's see if this Emir and Tufan are others Wow, a trust test for Tufan I have no reason to trust Tufan. It's obvious that there are very important things that he hasn't told me yet But at least I need to be sure that he's not lying So? What am I going to with this? Kemal we need to meet right now - Something happened Nihan? - Yes! We have a key in our hands from which we don't know where it fits I told you that you can't do anything without me and you promised me I received again anonymously a picture. And a key was on that picture and in the background my workshop. And I rushed here Someone is helping us again. Or is riding us for a fall Okay, so can this key... Have something to do with Taner's record he was talking about? Yes! Yes! Yes! I am full of beans. I am getting the adrenaline flowing We stayed away from it for a long while I might have cling to life due to them I am loosing you because of them Nihan You won't do anything before I come Why do you think I called you?For better for worse. Kemal and Nihan from adventure to adventure I wish one day we could only meet to drink tea Let s meet at Zehir's place Yes sir Have you give blood Tufan yet? No sir I haven't. I will do it in half an hour upstairs How many things we went through lately The one's who see us must think we have an umbilical cord Did I made a mistake sir? Have you seen a wrong of me? - Maybe. We're working together for so many years. But I have never asked you I don't understand It just came to my mind. Is your mother and father at health? Both of them are not alive sir They're not May god rest their soul Let us ing some flowers to their graves sometime I don't even know where they rest sir! Mr Emir, you said that you also wanted to give blood for the analysis They can come They should take your blood while their already here I can take care of that upstairs sir No way Tufan. We have become so palsy-walsy and shared our sorrow. Don't mention it. Sit down Please reach your arm like this It feels like we're getting reacquainted Tufan But no matter from where I look, I am not able to like you one way or another What was it that you wanted from me sir? I changed my mind. You can leave When will the results come out? The error margin? 1 percent. Inform me right away Nihan stay calm For god's sake! How can you be so calm? Look everything can be behind this key's click sound We can also be mistaken. We don't know who send it for which reason While we re trying to disentangle a knot about our life's on this side, they're maybe cast upon to our disadvantage on the other side Zehir! Are you going to tell what it is? Or should we keep on questioning our life's? NO! Okay! Okay! Okay! There's something that's clear. But the rest is missing But it's key for a special case But which one's key of the hundreds of thousands is it?

It feels like you left it in the middle? Just like we That's why we have to keep on forcing all the doors Okay, so what are we doing now? You're going home now. I will do whatever it needs I will inform you Is Mr Emir still in his private room? He was strange when he came home. He neither asked for Mrs Nihan nor for anything else He walked past me to his room like a ghost - Strange - Exactly I will beat you with your own weapon” Now you should be afraid of me! Because your heart is in my palm! Nobody should come in I hate you Because my heart hurts when I see you so sad It's not in my hand. I'm worrying That's why I hate you I would rip your heart out if it were in my hands Believe me I would do it Because there is no other idiot in this house who believes in this heart Yes you're stupid A lot But you know what? would believe you again when it happen again I would have let myself fall again into your waters And your literature is just memorized And when we hold it Your courage is absurd Are you not afraid of me? Not at all So you still haven't learned to? Then teach me and how I need to be afraid of you And also teach me that I need to give up loving you Efsane! Efsane! Have you seen Zeynep? I was looking for her Well I haven! seen her either. Maybe she went down to the gym If at all, this key could belong to one of the cases at the depository at the Sirkeci bus terminal Because it's an old type. And old type keys are only left there Thank you Cemil usta. May it be easy Zeynep! And I thought you were Zeynep Where's Zeynep? I don't know and her phone is in the room Maybe she went outside for a walk? Yes that's possible. I will go outside and look Efsane! Where's Emir? Did he come? He came but he went into his room madame. And he said that he doesn't want to get disturbed I really missed you Don't tell that Ozan Go away Nihan I'm not alright I don't even want to see your face It would be better if I go Yes. You have a long way Have you not found her? I haven't looked on Emir's side. I will ask him. Maybe he saw her Mr Ozan! Mr Emir is a little bit sensitive today. He particularly said that he doesn't want to be disturbed today Have you seen Zeynep? I came here to ask you I saw her! I even see her now! Where? In the garden Okay thank you so much Zeynep! Where are you? I am looking for all over since hours I am here Ozan I also looked here Anynway dear. Come let's go to our room So you found to each other in the end I almost lost my mind over her. She was in the garden Emir has seen her and told me. That's how I was able to find the lady Why didn't you let him know Zeynep? Your property is so huge. And I went outside to wander. And of course I saw no need to inform someone since I stayed within the property Okay but I am wondering about you then Okay dear. There's nothing to wonder about In this house there's always something to wonder about What do you want me to do?l miss you. I want to see you in front of my eyes I want you always to be there when I reach my hand over to you I foot it such a long way. I am really exhaust now Let me massage you Actually a hot shower will make me feel better And I think you can select a good movie for us in that time I'm almost there! Almost Well Listen... Listen That's the most we forgot. We're drowning in each other's voices But this silenece. We allow this silence to swallow us Nihan Kemal you're scaring me. - There's something else up with you. - Tomorrow. Even if we also find nothing tomorrow I will still keep on Nihan I will still keep on! I will keep on until I find it! But when I find it.. Then I won't listen to you You won't be able to stop me Nihan. Because I won't be able to stop myself I have no patience left anymore If we find something, find something about Ozan's innocence, then you have to do what you have to do Because I am changing. The more I listen to me the more I drown in my voice Nihan Darkness is rising inside me. I'm becoming a different man. - I don't recognize myself Nihan. - Kemal I am afraid of me and the things I will do. This darkness will swallow Emir just like the silence here If what he's doing is evilness, then what's inside me is darkness I am fighting against this Nihan Do you know what is enlightening the darkness? The thing that enlightens the darkness is the light of your face The light of your face But after a while even that won't be enough It won't be enough If this thing won't be solved. Either me or Emir! Then it will transform just like the silence here into a grave stone The same - Kemal you're scaring me. - Be scared! Be scared Nihan! Because I am also scared. I am scared of myself I have loved you more than anything in this life!!!! More than anything!!!! Even than from me But tomorrow if there's the thing we hope for behind the door that this key opens, then I won't listen to your fears Nihan Your family, your other, Emir...

(children's laughter echoing) (traffic whooshing) (Won't You Dream Of Me by Harry Raderman) Woman June 21, 1947. I like his five o'clock shadow. It's adorable. When we're married, he'll grow a mustache and I will tease him mercilessly about it. June 23, 1947. I'm good with secrets. I'll never say a word. They'll never, never know. They could burn my feet, I'll never say a thing. Okay, name me three of the Beach Boys. Brian. Dennis. Matt? No. Mike. Not my favorite Beach Boy but yes. Carl. Yes, Carl. Okay, name me three members of your blood. Blood? You mean members of my family? Mm-hmm. Uncle Lee. Aunt Susan. Your grandmother, my mother... Okay, okay. (traffic whooshing) I'm trying, J. I'm trying to have a good time. But I'm trapped up here. But most of the day I can't get a signal. There's no internet. I can't even spend like 20 minutes of a stretch writing a letter to Katie. Because I got Iris. I gotta make dinner, you know. But I need to write a letter, not an apology. (motorcycle buzzing) (birds chirping) So I'm just putting them all into order now. Dot will get married when she's 21. Tallulah will get married when she's 28. Alex will get married when she's 28 and a half, after Tallulah. I'll get married at 23, which is actually the perfect age. And, oh my god, Dot's totally got a head start because she's dating Henry. - Okay. - Which I was like, yeah. Okay. Can we... Sweetie, we need to talk about how the next couple of days are gonna go, okay? We're on vacation. Mom's not here the rest of this week. She might not be here into next week. But I have to get some work done. So this is what I think we should do. I think we should take two hours a day where I do my work and you can do anything you want. Anything I want? I think you're responsible enough to go off on your own. I think you can do anything you want, starting right now. What about the game? Well I can't play the game while I'm working, so... I mean, look, you're getting to be a big girl now, so you can do stuff on your own. Okay. Can I play the game? (somber instrumental music) Okay, look, I guess I'm concerned... No. I guess I'm concerned because I'm up here until the end of the month. All right, so what is the word on me while I'm gone? Okay, maybe I can't wait till I get back. Look, here's my thing, I lost my temper. All right, I was standing up for myself. Stop it, mister, you're fine. It was incident. What, and suddenly that's who I am now? (crickets chirping) (frogs croaking) (footsteps stomping) (wood scraping) Here's to you, my spook friend. (crickets chirping) (bird squawking) (dramatic piano music) Woman July 28, 1947. I cut my foot on the trail today on the way to our place. But it was my fault. August 1, 1947. I am old enough to drive. I am old enough to join the DAR. I am older than Amelia Earhart when she flew in her first plane. Yet, I am not old enough for Gram or Momma or George or for any of them to believe in me and let me love who I want to love. (ocean waves rumbling) (dramatic piano music) I just wanted you to hear this message that we got. Let me just get it to play. Voicemail 10 old messages. (man groaning) Old Man Can you pick up? It's not... You can't come! I'm not, I'm doing this! I don't care what the site says. There's still more stuff. And I can't even get at it. Did she even tell you? Jesus. Call this number. You have a child. So, I mean, that's weird, right? That... The strangest thing is it's on our land line. I mean, I hate our land line. Anyway, is it about the house? Just call me, call me when you can. All right, love you, bye. (crickets chirping) Come on, come on, signal, come on. Come on. (floor creaking) (crickets chirping) (dove hooting) Got nothing. Got nothing. (frogs croaking) (house banging) Shit. Shit. (house creaking) (house rumbling) Iris. Iris, are you up there? God. (Don knocking) Iris? (house banging) (eerie music) (house rumbling) Goddamn it! (house rumbling) (punch thudding) Ow! God! I can't do this! I can't do this by myself! Iris Daddy? Daddy? Iris, thank God. Good, good, good, good. Couldn't you hear me, where were you? I was in the bathroom. Did you lock that door? I was in the bathroom. What happened to your foot, are you okay? - I just stubbed my toe. - Okay. We're okay, let's go take care of that. I got some cream. I'll put some cream on it. Were you making those sounds? What was that banging? Did you hear that? (clock ticking) I love that book. You know, here at the shop we have a lot of things that are in that book. Do you believe me? Mm-hmm. I ought you something I think you'll like. It'll go perfectly with that veil you took home. It's actually two things. Gloves. Little too big for you now but soon, right? (Iris chuckling) Yeah. Then you'll have shoes and the purse and the gloves and the veil. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something... Blue. (woman sighing) This is my bouquet, stick bouquet. Honey, I can't talk about the sticks anymore, I'm sorry. This is kind of the medieval knife one, definitely my favorite. This one is a very pretty knobby one. This is the one that is like... - Honey. Iris, Iris! Iris, the sticks are kinda driving me crazy. Look, here she is. These two look gorgeous together, I really like them. - Hi! - Hi! (Don chuckling) Oh my god! Oh my god! - Hi! - Hi! - Oh! - Oh! Hey! Who's care is this? It's my rental. - Iris. - Hey, I need a hug! Oh, I've missed you so much! Guys, it sounds like you're having so much fun! Oh, look, we got lunch all ready. Oh, you got here fast. Oh, it was actually easy. I just ran lines all the way up. I listened to my audiobook. My audiobook is getting really good. I bet, I bet. So, do you love the house? I love the house. There's a couple of critters but it's great. - Oh, what kind? Listen, I know you just got here but I have two or three calls that are backed up. Oh, okay, now? No, soon, yeah. Sure, I'm here. Yeah, yeah, in a few minutes, okay? I just need like an hour. Like, one hour. - Of course. I am here, do you need to go now? No, no, come on. - Okay. - Let's go. Hey, hey, I need the tour! Show me the house! - Let's go. - I wanna see your room. Don So how is it, how is the set? Heather Oh my god, just, they're amazing. - Really? - They're so... So cool, oh wow! Funky. So, is this the place from the pictures? Were you able to find the pictures that they sent? I looked but I can't find them. Really? I mean, yeah, I agree, it feels a little different but I like it. But it is the place, right? I mean, just, it's called the Mountain House but there's no mountain. Isn't that weird? And, also, when you called the realty place, is there really no answer? (gentle piano music) (family chattering) (water splashing) But really show her how to do it. Remember when we did it last time? Ow. We did it last summer and you, like... (Don mumbling) And then you have to let go so she can... So that she can really do it. - No, now look at her, see? - Just let go. She's got to complete balance. Iris What? Yeah, that's the PH balance, see? (gentle piano music) Perfect. All right, now your turn. I go first. You go first. Okay, three. - Three, two, one. - Two, one. (gentle piano music) (water splashing) (dramatic piano music) Woman September 2, 1947. Every new day with Dunkin is spent on a sweet incline. Always up, always higher. I will put on the dress for him, I will meet him at our place, my feet will be parted from the ground and I will fly up and out away from here with him forever. (ghostly whispering) (ominous music) (wind whooshing) (trunk rumbling) Iris You stand here. Don Okay. Iris And I'll come right here but you stand there. Don Oh, I thought I was in the right place. (Iris chattering) Why don't I be the minister, then I can marry you and Andy. Iris Dad, if you say that about her one more time, I will never play with you again ever. I thought Andy was a boy. (kick thudding) (Heather yelping) (Heather groaning) (kick thudding) Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of two kindred spirits, Iris... No, Maddy. Maddy, and... No, longer, do it for real. Okay. These two souls shall be joined together today in holy matrimony because they truly belong together. There has never been anyone who understands this man like this girl does and she's never had a kayaking partner as great as this man and she never will. They truly are a couple for the ages. So, what God has put together, let no man put asunder. How was that? Good. - Okay. - Hey! Did we leave the fire open all night? I don't think so. - Well it's open now. - Dad, keep going. Heather Did you open it this morning? No. - Dad, keep going. - Okay, just... It's not very deep, those sparks really fly right onto the carpet. - Dad, keep going. Okay, sorry. (Don sighing) Okay. We're almost done. Oh, sorry, you playing? We're almost done. Okay. Fully grown adult male, who should know better, do you take... Dad. Do you take Mabel? Maddy. To be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, et cetera, et cetera. Are you getting married? That's an old game. Iris Say you do. Okay, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, et cetera, et cetera. - Oh hey! Can I be the caterer? I ought bagels from New York. No, Heather, you can't. Can you go inside please? Oh, can't I just sit out here? No, you can't, go inside, you're not part of the wedding. I just wanna sit out here. I mean, I'll face this way. - No, go inside. - Can't I just sit here and eat my bagel? Go inside. - We're almost done. - Honey, that's not nice. We're almost done. Go inside. This our porch and anybody can eat eakfast out here. Heather. Okay, let me just finish up the game. She just wants to finish this up with me. Let us just finish, I made coffee and then we'll go on and plan the day, just two minutes! Just two more minutes, okay? Why is there no screen door on this side? Iris Do you take me? Do I take you? Well, you have to do your part. I do. You do, if you do, I do, okay? By the power vested in me, in this spider infested cabin in the wood, I now pronounce ide and groom. Dah, dah, dah, dah Dah, dah, dah, dah Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah Dah, dah, dah, dah Dad? We're married now more than you and mom. (Don chuckling) No, really, Dad. We are. (traffic whooshing) Could you... I don't like the way she flops over like that when she sleeps. All right, she's okay. We gotta get on the same page about that game. It's not a big deal. It's the same game you've been playing for years. And you feel left out, I don't want that. She can leave me out. She's punishing me for being away. But I just feel like these games, it's an opportunity, you know, for you to... It's an opportunity to discuss issues. I mean, she's gonna... She's gonna start looking at boys soon. She's already looking at boys, it's just a game. Not to her. Little girls have been marrying their daddies for centuries. Heather So you like the house? Yeah, I love it. Do you? It's rustic. It is, it's what you rented, it is as advertised. I just think, don't you think it's weird we don't have keys? People around here, they don't care about keys and things like that. Wait, what kind of critters have you seen? Nothing really. Oh, do you know what I wish? I wish we could move that trunk. That steamer, whatever it is. I just don't want her playing in it. That big trunk, do you know? Do you know what that reminds me of? Hmmm? It reminds me of the Bride in the Box. What's the Bride in the Box? Don Oh, it's a true story. It happened around here in like 19... Oh, wait, wait, is this a ghost story? Because I really will get scared. No, no, no, this is a real thing. My grandfather told me this. It was in the papers. It was the Davis family. No, the Dodge family. The Dodge family. Yeah, there was this girl and she wanted to get married to a guy that nobody approved of and she was from this family, the Dodge family, and she fell in love. And when she decided to marry this guy, she went to the grandmother to ask her permission, right? So she says, Grandma, can I, I wanna marry this boy, can I please wear the wedding dress that you and mom wore. That dress with the shoes and the train and the veil. I know where you keep them, you keep them in that old trunk up in the attic. Can I please? Can I please? And the grandmother said... - No. - No. She said, no, of course she said, No, I don't want to marrying this no good boy, you're too young. He's gonna ruin your life, so... (Don sighing) So the girl's devastated, right? But nothing's gonna stop her, she's gonna get that dress. She's gonna marry this boy. A few days go by and nobody's heard from here, but you know, they don't think anything of it. But they do start to hear... (Don knocking) Like this strange knocking sound in the house. They started to get concerned, so they started to look for her. They didn't know where she could be. And this... (Don knocking) Sound kept, you know, they kept hearing this in the house. So when they finally found her, up in the attic, there was the old trunk. And they opened the box, and, oh my God, she had been clawing on the roof of the trunk for days. It was just... Her fingernails were gone, he fingers we nubs. - Don, stop. - She had this horrible look on her face, oh my god. And people around here, they say you can see her, but not just in one place. They see her in churches, in hospitals and she's always wearing that wedding dress. Bride in the box. Did the girl ghost have blood? Heather Oh, are you awake? On her sleeves? Don How long have you been up? We thought you were asleep. How much of that did you hear? Iris When they saw her on the streets as a ghost. It's just a story, it's just pretend. Was her dress all bloody? Wow. That startled me. Let's go. (engine rumbling) (classic band radio music) No. Because I don't want to. Iris? (insects buzzing) Oh, hey. Looks like it's going to be a great day for weather. So, go tell your mother that kayaking is the most important thing in your life right now and that's what you want to do, okay? I'm drawing. Well do this then draw. Because. Heather? One sec. Do you have shorts on under that dress? Mm-hmm. You seem to have ought a lot of dresses. Iris They're pretty. It makes no sense. Where's Dad? He wants me to tell you that kayaking is the most important thing in my life. Oh, kayaking today? We made plans with Steph and Leo. Don't you wanna see them for lunch? They have a pool, you love pools. Go get your suit on. Well, I wanna go. Will you please tell Dad that we really wanna go and you really wanna swim in their pool. Please? I can't finish it now, stop. Why? We get five minutes alone as a family and she wants to go see other people? No. I love pools. I can ing my swimsuit. Look, don't you wanna spend time, just us? Just with me and your mother, as a family? Yes. Well, go tell her that. Come on, give me some space, all right? Go tell your mother. (dramatic piano tempo music) In where? (trunk lid squeaking) (dramatic piano tempo music) (gentle piano music) (thunder rumbling) (rain trickling) (traffic whooshing) (Don faintly speaking) Huh? No, how would you feel? How would you feel if somebody said something like that? Huh? That wouldn't feel so good, would it? I know a ghost story. Muriel You do? I love ghost stories. Everybody loves a ghost story until it happens to them. A girl wants to get married and she got trapped in a box and now people see her with bloody sleeves in churches. I know a story like that but I heard it a little differently. A girl was gonna get married but she wanted to do it right. So, she thought, I have to wear that wedding dress that's up in the attic. The one that's in the box. She could prop open the lid with a stick and in the box, in the steamer, was the wedding dress. And she went to the bottom of the box but all of a sudden... (Muriel claps) The lid slammed shut and she was trapped in the box. And she was pounding, (Muriel knocking) Hoping that somebody would hear her pounding. And she pounded louder, (Muriel knocking) And louder and louder and louder until... (Muriel knocking) She ran out of eath. And she couldn't pound anymore. Every piece of that wedding outfit, the gloves, the veil, the dress... She's in them all. She's not haunting where she lived. She's haunting what she wore. (crickets chirping) (door clicking) (door creaking) What is this? (floor creaking) (crickets chirping) (wind howling) (curtain flapping) (paper rustling) (wind howling) (crickets chirping) (trunk thudding) Heather? (trunk rattling) (floor creaking) (wood scratching) (trunk scratching) (stick thudding) (trunk banging) Shit. (Don huffing) (sinister music) (trunk scratching) (trunk rumbling) (Don sighing) (trunk banging) Well shit. (crickets chirping) (door creaking) J I'd get the hell out of there. Yeah, I know, but the girls are sleeping. J If it's freaking you out you gotta ask yourself, is it your house or the raccoon's house at this point? I don't even know if it is a raccoon, dude. J What else is it gonna be? Heather's already... She wanted to rent a totally different house. (J laughing) J Rabid raccoon. If I tell them there's a possum under her bed, she's gonna flip. J So what, wake her up. It's not that easy, man. I found this place. I spent all this money to come up here and then I got fired. J Is Heather being supportive about that? She knows I got fired, she doesn't know I got fired because I got angry. J My God, sorry. (J laughing) I don't mean to laugh but you guys, you keeps secrets for no reason, tell her. Wake her up and tell her, you idiot. I got more urgent shit, Jay! I got a possum in my rental house and I have to get it out tonight. J You gonna fight it? When's the last time you fought a possum? Ha, ha, ha. J Please let me know what happens, man. Yeah, you're hilarious. - What could go wrong? - Yeah, I'll call you later. (J laughing) Oh, fuck. (ominous music) (nails scratching) (trunk banging) (metal rattling) (eerie music) (trunk thumping) (ghostly woman whispering) (woman shushing) (Don gasping) (ominous music) (wood scratching) (faint doo-wop music) Hey, guys. I need to talk to you about something for a second. Iris, come sit. Come here, buddy. So, I just got a call from the show and they want to add me to the next episode. I know it sounds insane but... How soon? Two days for the table read and then we shoot. They want to know if I can be back on Wednesday. Oh man. Do it. I told them I would have to see if it was possible. You just got here. I told them that but I could come back. You should do it. Okay, well let's... Let's just eat, enjoy what little vacation we have left. I have to call them back now. I think you should do whatever you would like better. This could be good. Good for the family. It's good money, we need the money and... It's just, you've been making the money for so long and now, now I get to be the one. I think you should do it. Okay, sorry. You should. Look, this is the dream. Okay, nobody deserves this more than you. Are you kidding? You have to do it. Okay, I'm here, we can do it all. You should do it. Do it. I get it. Hey, Francis, it's Heather. Okay, so here's the thing, I can't do it. I love them, I love the show but I just can't get back that fast. Maybe we could say it's a family crisis kind of a thing but... Here, let me just, let me try to explain. I got up here... (traffic whooshing) (gentle piano music) (cricket chirping) Ugh. (Heather groaning) Ugh. (plastic bag rustling) (birds chirping) Hey. Where's Iris? She's around. Heather Did she go back inside? I don't think so. Heather There are the clothes or whatever they are. They're disgusting. Well, she's been finding stuff she likes at the antique shop. What? Honey. Did you just put a pile of sticks in the car? Did you take that bag of clothes out of the trash? Ugh. Oh! - I'm sorry. - They are covered in spiders! Yesterday, I told you not to keep the sticks in the house but you did it anyway. So, I put them outside and now you hid them in the trunk. That's it, sticks are gone! - I'm sorry. - No more! I'm sorry. Iris, come here. Iris. Come here, listen, your mother is 100 percent right. Easy, easy, easy, look at me, don't get upset. Look at me. We're gonna figure this out, okay? I put a bag on the other side of the house. You can keep them in the bag, okay? (somber music) Did she have a set bedtime? Sure. I just feel like maybe there were no rules when I was gone. Don That's not true. Then why is she acting like this? You see it too, right? And she goes off by herself, completely alone. Look, when I was her age, the summertime, my mom would give us eakfast, send us off and we wouldn't see her until dinner. Yeah, well it was different then. I think we think it was different. I mean, we'd ride around. No one was watching us. I mean, now you gotta have like a phone with a chip to track them like dogs. I mean, thank God she doesn't have a phone. How can you have any actual freedom with a GPS, right? Oh hey, Charlie. Good afternoon. Charlie, this is my wife, Heather. Oh hi, nice to meet you. I saw the child out on the road. Got an independent streak. Oh yeah? Where did you see her? Oh, up on the east side. Oh, all right. Huh. (somber string music) (metal clinking) (pleasant guitar music) (car rumbling) (Heather sighing) Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. She there? - Oh, there. - Okay. There she is. - Ugh. - Hold on, wait, just wait. - Stop, stop! Just wait a minute. Heather Where were you? Where were you? Don Where'd you go? Heather Honey, where did you go? All by yourself? It's okay, come on. You took a long walk. Go, go, go. Buckle up, buckle up. (seat belt alarm chiming) What were you thinking? Are you okay? Do you know how worried we were? (engine humming) (stick cracking) Ow! - I'm sorry! Did you just hit your mother? Did you just throw a stick at me? I'm sorry! No! (Heather groaning) Please, that's my stuff! Dad, go back! Don I'm not going back, take it easy! Did you just hit your mother? - Dad! - Not one more word. Not one more word out of you! We are going home! Don Did she get you in the eye? Ugh. (Iris crying) Yeah, cry! Cry! (Iris crying) They can all go! I don't understand your business with it! I can't understand how you can think it's okay to talk to me this way! Iris I am gonna go away and you are never gonna see me! And I'm gonna go to the arch, I'm gonna stand underneath it! I'm gonna be there with Maddy and Dunkin and I'm gonna fly away and you will be so mad at yourself for yelling at me like this. Heather I need from you is a true apology. Is that all you care about, is a stick? That's it, no more sticks! No more of hiding stuff! - I need those sticks! - Any of this... Antique shop crap! Iris I need those things. I'm keeping them together, Heather. Heather Oh well, not anymore! You are being absolutely ridiculous! All this, I don't... What happened to you? What? This is not the little girl... (crickets chirping) (dove cooing) Okay, here's how I think today should go. I think that Iris and I should have a total mommy, daughter day and you should go to town, work, whatever and just meet us for dinner. Really? I just feel so disconnected from her. Oh, that could be kinda great. Could you do me one favor? Yeah. Could you go to the realty place and see if they could switch us to a different house? Don I don't think there are... Something closer to town. Just, just see, there's gotta be something. - Okay. - And are they the ones that left us that message? That was so weird. - Yeah. I just feel like this house has a lot of... Like weird noises, right? I was gonna say spiders. And spiders. Weird noises and spiders. Just see. (distant dove cooing) Oh, you're kidding me. (traffic whooshing) Hello? Hello? Oh. Hi. Is this 23 Towline Road? It is. All this time, I never knew you were connected with the realty place. We're not open today. Well, I just have questions. Do you know, is there availability at any other house up here right now? Nope. I mean, to potentially switch houses, rental houses? Not a good rental property. Okay, I thought maybe there might be another house because I heard that our house might not be ready yet. You should know. You're in it. Do you know if that house was owned by a family called Dodge? Used to be a lot of Dodges around here. Yeah, that's what I thought. Thought it sounded familiar. I grew up not far from here. You grew up around here? Yeah, I mean, I live in New York now... You know that story then. What, the ghost story? I didn't know it had to do with that house. No ghost. We had a bunch of houses all along the point. Some of them were awful rich. When I was small, bad stories, the whole family. What, the girl in the box? That was the worst of it. Okay, so just so I understand, you're name is Dodge and the house we're staying in is your house? Stay alive long enough, you wind up owning property. So, yes. It's a terrible rental property. You want your money back, there's a policy. Well, yeah, if there's something you're not telling me about the house, then yes, I'll get my money back. Why would I stay, you know? Office opens up tomorrow. Barn's open too. Okay, excuse me, but I would... Goodbye. So Dad let's you come all this way by yourself? I know my way back. Wow. Okay. Oh hey, remember this one? Hush little baby don't say a Word. Momma's gonna by you a mocking Bird. And if that mocking bird bird won't Sing. Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond Ring And if that diamond ring turns Brass Momma's gonna buy you a looking (birds squawking) (foreboding music) Iris? Iris? (ominous music) (Iris faintly speaking) Iris. Hey, what you doing? Don't go back in deep like that, there's ticks and poison ivy and... And who where you talking to? I thought I saw you talking to somebody. I was just playing. Are you mad? Are you really mad? I'm just having a nice hike. (dramatic piano music) Iris There's a place for the minister, there. And Dunkin's mom and dad and the people from town. They stand at the back. Then the choir will stand... (Heather sighing) Ugh. (Heather groaning) (somber music) I'm sorry. Heather What is going on here? It's just a dress. It's not about the dress, it's about you and your dad keeping secrets from me. I just wanna wear something nice. What're you like playing a ghost story game with him? What is going on? You do not have to wear some filthy thing out of a church basement. It looks beautiful on me. Heather Who tells you that? You don't think so? The woman at the antique place. No, the ide. That is just a story. You wouldn't even know because you weren't here. He got fired. If people say you get mad all the time, you have to make sure people know that you don't. And you weren't even here! Well, really, nobody was here. I hate you. You do not hate me. No, please. Heather. Ow! Heather, stop. Ugh! Okay, Heather, Heather. - No, it all goes! - Heather? Heather, Heather it's not... - All of it! Heather, it's not going. It's not going. Heather. Heather, please stop it. It's mine. - No, Iris! Give me those! - It's my stuff. - Come here! Get in the car! Get in the car! Get in! Stop it! Stop it! (Heather groaning) I'm sorry! I'm here to say you were right. I was wrong. I bought this nice bottle of Pinot. I would like to drink it with you and then figure out a way that we can leave this house as soon as possible. All right, we can go back to New York early. Call them, you can get that job back, is that crazy? Yes, that is crazy. That job is gone. I turned down that job even though I loved it, so that I could stay here, in a house that we can't afford, and eat fucking lobster rolls. So, yes, that is crazy. What I wanna know is, did you get laid off because they eliminated your job or did you have an incident? Okay. Heather You are scary when you get angry. Was it Vanessa? I did nothing wrong, you know her. I can believe that but you didn't tell me about it. There's nothing to tell. Did you hide sticks behind the trunk? - No. - No? No but listen. Did you duck tape a bag of clothes underneath her bed on the underside of her bed? That was not her fault. I know, I didn't say that she did it, you did it. Those things are really important to her. Yes, but you and I had a discussion and we agreed. I know. - And yet... - Oh, man. You're just gonna do your own thing. Don Wow. Why don't you just raise her by yourself then? I am. I'm doing it. Heather Hey! Hey, hey, for the last month, I've been making the decisions and I've been doing a pretty good job. Okay, she gets up by herself. She gets to bed by herself. She sets the table, you don't even have to ask. She's not so needy. Yeah, that's not parenting. That is just leaving her alone. I guess it's a style of parenting. Hey, hey, here's what's happening. Okay, you're coming in at the end of our time together and basically, you're saying all the fun that we've been having is suddenly not allowed. Okay, if I'm the parent, I'm the parent. Great, have fun! But if you've got everything so well handled up here, then how come I couldn't go do the job I wanted? You think that job is gonna wait for me? It's not. I turned it down because you can't handle being on vacation at the fucking beach with your own kid! I mean, how helpless are you? Hey, hey, hey, you cannot talk to me like that. Okay, okay, but stay with me. Stay with me because this is what you do all the time. You get mad and then you cut people off. Don't cut me off, I am talking about Iris. Look what you're doing to her. What am I doing to her? She wants to marry you, she wants to kill me. She threw a stick in my eye. Not in your eye. In my eye, look at this! Really? Look, I could go to the doctor! What, from yesterday? This is how she feels about me. Where, there? Get away! Okay, it's bad, it's bad if she hit you in the eye. - You laughing? - No. Are you laughing at me? I didn't see anything in your eye. You are trying to be the fun parent and suddenly I am outside my family. There will be a time... And look how you love it! Okay, that's it, that's it? Okay, please, Heather. Where is she? Is is inside playing, I am not invited. (ominous music) I thought I heard her up here. Iris? Honey? Are you hiding? Damn it. Could she have come out here? What was the fight about? I mean, what did she say? I don't know. (ominous music) Iris! Iris? Iris, come out! Iris! - Iris! Iris! - Iris! Iris, come on out. Heather Iris! (ominous music) Iris! (ocean waves rumbling) Iris! Iris! (ominous music) (Heather sobbing) Iris! Iris! (Heather screaming) Iris! (unsettling music) I think one of us should stay at the house. Okay, okay. (Heather gasping) Iris? Heather Iris, honey? - Iris! - Honey? Honey? Where, where? - Iris! - Iris! (trunk thudding) Iris! Don Iris! Heather Hang on, hang on! All right, hold on, hold on! (nails scratching) Hang on, honey, we're gonna get you out! We're gonna get you out! Hang on, hang on! Stand back! (tool thudding) - Heather Don! Back off! Grab it, grab it, grab it! (Heather yelling) Get it out there! Get! (Heather groaning) (intense music) Oh God, Iris? Honey! - Come on. Honey? Honey? (eerie music) (Heather whimpering) (Heather huffing) (ocean waves whooshing) (Don knocking) Look, I can call them. No, look, the light is on. (Don knocking) Iris! Iris! Here she is, here she is. Hi, hi, have you seen out littler girl? Our daughter, Iris? Oh, come in. Have you seen her? No. She's missing? You know who she is, right? You've given her stuff. - Iris! Is she here? - Iris! - Not now. Earlier. - Today? - Yeah. When? Muriel Hours ago. She was here several hours ago. What was she doing? She was looking at this book. She loved this book. I collect things and she loved everything I collected but especially the stuff from Maddy Dodge. So I gave her the shoes, the veil, because with every item that I gave her, the talking in my head got quieter. Except the wedding dress. I couldn't give her the wedding dress because I never had the wedding dress. I was gonna get some movers, maybe, to help me move that trunk. But you came up too soon. It might've been in that trunk! Don What? What might have been in there? The wedding dress. And she's such a beautiful girl. It'll fit her soon because it chose her, right? Wait, wait, is this a real place? Do you know where this is? Yeah. This is where Maddy Dodge was gonna meet Dunkin. You know, I think we can give them this book, right? I was just gonna put it... Where is this? Where is this? (foreboding music) (car whooshing) (suspenseful tempo music) (ocean waves rumbling) (ominous music) Heather Whoa, Iris. Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Maddy? Heather Maddy? (eerie music) Dunkin didn't come. Oh, honey. Doesn't it look beautiful on me? It does, it looks beautiful on you. It's time to fly but he didn't come meet me. (gentle piano music) He did come but it was a long time ago. But we're here for Iris. Okay, now that you're out of the box, you can go and find him. But it won't happen this way. Maddy, Dunkin is waiting for you. You have to let go of Iris first. Let Iris go and then you can be with him. Don Maddy. Me and your dad, we love each other. We love you. So sorry, honey, sometimes I don't say that but it's true. Iris. Iris. (eerie music) Okay. Okay. Iris I'm sorry, Mom. Heather It's okay. (ocean waves rumbling) (gentle instrumental music) (fire crackling) (dramatic instrumental music) (fire whooshing) (crow squawking) (birds chirping) (water trickling) (ocean waves whooshing) (record player crackling) (Won't You Dream Of Me by Harry Raderman) Dreaming of going out with you A paradise spent with a love so true You are the dear that is fair of all And my heart has heard your call Loping through life on love divine A beautiful angel life all mine A dream that has come true, my dear Since I met you Won't you dream of me and think of me And learn to love me true Won't you walk for me and wait for me And promise you will be true Won't take this heart of mine and say I'll give it back someday And does your own true heart will be When I'll be loving you (pleasant instrumental waltz music)
I love him. I love him and he loves me. And when he marries me, we will fly away from here forever, husband and wife. But I will not marry him in rags. I will look beautiful for him. I know where they keep it. Up there, locked away. In the box. Okay, ready? Hi, it's us. - Hi. It's us! Vacation is happening and it's not how I imagined it was going to happen but here we are. It's beautiful, beautiful day. Are we having a great time? We're having an amazing time. We're having an amazing time. We are just about to cross the idge into Maine. We stopped at the overlook, it is absolutely gorgeous. And we miss you. So call us, or we'll call you from the Mountain House. That's it, so you ready to sing? Yeah. Okay. You start. I start. You have to sing with me. - Oh, okay. - Ready? Okay, see ya, bye. Bye! Okay, can we un-pause? Un-pause, get in the backseat, please. They said the key would be under the mat. It's not there. I really have to pee. Hi, this is Don Batek at... Hello? This is Don Batel at Mountain House two. There was supposed to be a key under the mat but, I don't know, maybe it fell or... Hello? Goddamn it. Stand back. I'll put it back. Cool. Did you find it? Yeah. Looks like somebody still lives here. Not a bunk bed. I'm sorry. They didn't promise bunk beds. Okay, so the bad guys have one weakness and you know what that weakness is, cats. Okay, I'm releasing the cats in the school, all of them. - Okay. What do I do? You are gonna wait outside and when the bad guys run scared, you tie them up. Okay, pause game, do we need apples? - Yeah. - Yeah, good. Okay, who am I again? Batman. Batman, right, got it. Okay, I've got my... Uh, un-pause. - Un-pause. I've got my bat rope, go ahead, Cat woman. Okay, I've released all the cats in the school. The bad guys are headed in your direction. - Good. - Carrots? Yeah, carrots. Hey, don't be frightened but... there was an explosion at the hospital. Isn't that incredible? Look at what she, look, Kelly, what do you say? - Hi. - Kelly, say hi. Okay, look what she did. Now, she told me that this is a third degree burn and the way you can tell is because of the charring. Look at the blister. Isn't that incredible? Okay, anyway, I've got a big day today. Oh, I love the video you guys sent. Thank you so much, I showed it to everybody. Everybody loved it. Jarred especially loved it. You are really gonna like him, Don. And I hope you don't mind but I told him what happened, you know, with you know, and he agreed that it is totally F'd up and... Oh, oh, I gotta go. Okay, so... Have fun, go on hikes but not on the precipice trail because, you know, people can fall and you don't wanna end up here. All right, all right, I will report back. Doctor out. Bye. Why wouldn't she talk to me? I just wanna ask about my severance. Look, I'm totally blind-sided here. All right, I'm going on vacation and suddenly this happens? Right. Well, maybe it would be better coming from you. Hey, call me back, if I don't pick up, it's because the service is really spotty up here, okay? Kate, you there? Hello? The child's upstairs! Oh, thanks, yeah, she loves to explore. Hey, do you have any books? No. No. No. That's not for sale. Oh, that. It's funny that you picked that. That is from a very special wedding dress, my dear. And you know what they say about a wedding dress? You don't pick it, it picks you. Hey! Out! She wants the thing. Shut it. You all done in the store? You okay? What'd you get there? That's cool, is that a curtain? Use your own money? I got a book. Don! Dad. You were snoring. You scared me. - Can I come in? - No, no, come on, come on. Let's get you to bed. Come on. Hey, I wonder if you're getting all my messages. Anyway, good news and bad news. Good news is, more work. Bad news is, they want me all next week. I know, we'll talk about details but I wanted to prepare you. Hey, could you send me a picture? I really want a picture. But not on a cliff or anything, okay? All right, I love you guys, call me when you can and I'll talk to you soon. Okay, bye. Throw the ball! Swimmers out there. Come on. - Come on, guys! Woo! Go get the ball. Iris, did you ing the sunscreen? Does she need a little? Yeah, I left mine at home. She's so pale. I know. We've got tons. Thanks very much, I appreciate it, thanks. Iris, here, will you put this on, please? Way to go, Sal. I'll tell you what... June 21, 1947. I like his five o'clock shadow. It's adorable. When we're married, he'll grow a mustache and I will tease him mercilessly about it. June 23, 1947. I'm good with secrets. I'll never say a word. They'll never, never know. They could burn my feet, I'll never say a thing. Okay, name me three of the Beach Boys. Brian. Dennis. Matt? No. Mike. Not my favorite Beach Boy but yes. Carl. Yes, Carl. Okay, name me three members of your blood. Blood? You mean members of my family? Mm-hmm. Uncle Lee. Aunt Susan. Your grandmother, my mother... Okay, okay. I'm trying, J. I'm trying to have a good time. But I'm trapped up here. But most of the day I can't get a signal. There's no internet. I can't even spend like 20 minutes of a stretch writing a letter to Katie. Because I got Iris. I gotta make dinner, you know. But I need to write a letter, not an apology. So I'm just putting them all into order now. Dot will get married when she's 21. Tallulah will get married when she's 28. Alex will get married when she's 28 and a half, after Tallulah. I'll get married at 23, which is actually the perfect age. And, oh my god, Dot's totally got a head start because she's dating Henry. - Okay. - Which I was like, yeah. Okay. Can we... Sweetie, we need to talk about how the next couple of days are gonna go, okay? We're on vacation. Mom's not here the rest of this week. She might not be here into next week. But I have to get some work done. So this is what I think we should do. I think we should take two hours a day where I do my work and you can do anything you want. Anything I want? I think you're responsible enough to go off on your own. I think you can do anything you want, starting right now. What about the game? Well I can't play the game while I'm working, so... I mean, look, you're getting to be a big girl now, so you can do stuff on your own. Okay. Can I play the game? Okay, look, I guess I'm concerned... No. I guess I'm concerned because I'm up here until the end of the month. All right, so what is the word on me while I'm gone? Okay, maybe I can't wait till I get back. Look, here's my thing, I lost my temper. All right, I was standing up for myself. Stop it, mister, you're fine. It was incident. What, and suddenly that's who I am now? Here's to you, my spook friend. July 28, 1947. I cut my foot on the trail today on the way to our place. But it was my fault. August 1, 1947. I am old enough to drive. I am old enough to join the DAR. I am older than Amelia Earhart when she flew in her first plane. Yet, I am not old enough for Gram or Momma or George or for any of them to believe in me and let me love who I want to love. I just wanted you to hear this message that we got. Let me just get it to play. 10 old messages. Can you pick up? It's not... You can't come! I'm not, I'm doing this! I don't care what the site says. There's still more stuff. And I can't even get at it. Did she even tell you? Jesus. Call this number. You have a child. So, I mean, that's weird, right? That... The strangest thing is it's on our land line. I mean, I hate our land line. Anyway, is it about the house? Just call me, call me when you can. All right, love you, bye. Come on, come on, signal, come on. Come on. Got nothing. Got nothing. Shit. Shit. Iris. Iris, are you up there? God. Iris? Goddamn it! Ow! God! I can't do this! I can't do this by myself! Daddy? Daddy? Iris, thank God. Good, good, good, good. Couldn't you hear me, where were you? I was in the bathroom. Did you lock that door? I was in the bathroom. What happened to your foot, are you okay? - I just stubbed my toe. - Okay. We're okay, let's go take care of that. I got some cream. I'll put some cream on it. Were you making those sounds? What was that banging? Did you hear that? I love that book. You know, here at the shop we have a lot of things that are in that book. Do you believe me? Mm-hmm. I ought you something I think you'll like. It'll go perfectly with that veil you took home. It's actually two things. Gloves. Little too big for you now but soon, right? Yeah. Then you'll have shoes and the purse and the gloves and the veil. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something... Blue. This is my bouquet, stick bouquet. Honey, I can't talk about the sticks anymore, I'm sorry. This is kind of the medieval knife one, definitely my favorite. This one is a very pretty knobby one. This is the one that is like... - Honey. Iris, Iris! Iris, the sticks are kinda driving me crazy. Look, here she is. These two look gorgeous together, I really like them. - Hi! - Hi! Oh my god! Oh my god! - Hi! - Hi! - Oh! - Oh! Hey! Who's care is this? It's my rental. - Iris. - Hey, I need a hug! Oh, I've missed you so much! Guys, it sounds like you're having so much fun! Oh, look, we got lunch all ready. Oh, you got here fast. Oh, it was actually easy. I just ran lines all the way up. I listened to my audiobook. My audiobook is getting really good. I bet, I bet. So, do you love the house? I love the house. There's a couple of critters but it's great. - Oh, what kind? Listen, I know you just got here but I have two or three calls that are backed up. Oh, okay, now? No, soon, yeah. Sure, I'm here. Yeah, yeah, in a few minutes, okay? I just need like an hour. Like, one hour. - Of course. I am here, do you need to go now? No, no, come on. - Okay. - Let's go. Hey, hey, I need the tour! Show me the house! - Let's go. - I wanna see your room. So how is it, how is the set? Oh my god, just, they're amazing. - Really? - They're so... So cool, oh wow! Funky. So, is this the place from the pictures? Were you able to find the pictures that they sent? I looked but I can't find them. Really? I mean, yeah, I agree, it feels a little different but I like it. But it is the place, right? I mean, just, it's called the Mountain House but there's no mountain. Isn't that weird? And, also, when you called the realty place, is there really no answer? But really show her how to do it. Remember when we did it last time? Ow. We did it last summer and you, like... And then you have to let go so she can... So that she can really do it. - No, now look at her, see? - Just let go. She's got to complete balance. What? Yeah, that's the PH balance, see? Perfect. All right, now your turn. I go first. You go first. Okay, three. - Three, two, one. - Two, one. September 2, 1947. Every new day with Dunkin is spent on a sweet incline. Always up, always higher. I will put on the dress for him, I will meet him at our place, my feet will be parted from the ground and I will fly up and out away from here with him forever. You stand here. Okay. And I'll come right here but you stand there. Oh, I thought I was in the right place. Why don't I be the minister, then I can marry you and Andy. Dad, if you say that about her one more time, I will never play with you again ever. I thought Andy was a boy. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of two kindred spirits, Iris... No, Maddy. Maddy, and... No, longer, do it for real. Okay. These two souls shall be joined together today in holy matrimony because they truly belong together. There has never been anyone who understands this man like this girl does and she's never had a kayaking partner as great as this man and she never will. They truly are a couple for the ages. So, what God has put together, let no man put asunder. How was that? Good. - Okay. - Hey! Did we leave the fire open all night? I don't think so. - Well it's open now. - Dad, keep going. Did you open it this morning? No. - Dad, keep going. - Okay, just... It's not very deep, those sparks really fly right onto the carpet. - Dad, keep going. Okay, sorry. Okay. We're almost done. Oh, sorry, you playing? We're almost done. Okay. Fully grown adult male, who should know better, do you take... Dad. Do you take Mabel? Maddy. To be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, et cetera, et cetera. Are you getting married? That's an old game. Say you do. Okay, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, et cetera, et cetera. - Oh hey! Can I be the caterer? I ought bagels from New York. No, Heather, you can't. Can you go inside please? Oh, can't I just sit out here? No, you can't, go inside, you're not part of the wedding. I just wanna sit out here. I mean, I'll face this way. - No, go inside. - Can't I just sit here and eat my bagel? Go inside. - We're almost done. - Honey, that's not nice. We're almost done. Go inside. This our porch and anybody can eat eakfast out here. Heather. Okay, let me just finish up the game. She just wants to finish this up with me. Let us just finish, I made coffee and then we'll go on and plan the day, just two minutes! Just two more minutes, okay? Why is there no screen door on this side? Do you take me? Do I take you? Well, you have to do your part. I do. You do, if you do, I do, okay? By the power vested in me, in this spider infested cabin in the wood, I now pronounce ide and groom. Dad? We're married now more than you and mom. No, really, Dad. We are. Could you... I don't like the way she flops over like that when she sleeps. All right, she's okay. We gotta get on the same page about that game. It's not a big deal. It's the same game you've been playing for years. And you feel left out, I don't want that. She can leave me out. She's punishing me for being away. But I just feel like these games, it's an opportunity, you know, for you to... It's an opportunity to discuss issues. I mean, she's gonna... She's gonna start looking at boys soon. She's already looking at boys, it's just a game. Not to her. Little girls have been marrying their daddies for centuries. So you like the house? Yeah, I love it. Do you? It's rustic. It is, it's what you rented, it is as advertised. I just think, don't you think it's weird we don't have keys? People around here, they don't care about keys and things like that. Wait, what kind of critters have you seen? Nothing really. Oh, do you know what I wish? I wish we could move that trunk. That steamer, whatever it is. I just don't want her playing in it. That big trunk, do you know? Do you know what that reminds me of? Hmmm? It reminds me of the Bride in the Box. What's the Bride in the Box? Oh, it's a true story. It happened around here in like 19... Oh, wait, wait, is this a ghost story? Because I really will get scared. No, no, no, this is a real thing. My grandfather told me this. It was in the papers. It was the Davis family. No, the Dodge family. The Dodge family. Yeah, there was this girl and she wanted to get married to a guy that nobody approved of and she was from this family, the Dodge family, and she fell in love. And when she decided to marry this guy, she went to the grandmother to ask her permission, right? So she says, Grandma, can I, I wanna marry this boy, can I please wear the wedding dress that you and mom wore. That dress with the shoes and the train and the veil. I know where you keep them, you keep them in that old trunk up in the attic. Can I please? Can I please? And the grandmother said... - No. - No. She said, no, of course she said, No, I don't want to marrying this no good boy, you're too young. He's gonna ruin your life, so... So the girl's devastated, right? But nothing's gonna stop her, she's gonna get that dress. She's gonna marry this boy. A few days go by and nobody's heard from here, but you know, they don't think anything of it. But they do start to hear... Like this strange knocking sound in the house. They started to get concerned, so they started to look for her. They didn't know where she could be. And this... Sound kept, you know, they kept hearing this in the house. So when they finally found her, up in the attic, there was the old trunk. And they opened the box, and, oh my God, she had been clawing on the roof of the trunk for days. It was just... Her fingernails were gone, he fingers we nubs. - Don, stop. - She had this horrible look on her face, oh my god. And people around here, they say you can see her, but not just in one place. They see her in churches, in hospitals and she's always wearing that wedding dress. Bride in the box. Did the girl ghost have blood? Oh, are you awake? On her sleeves? How long have you been up? We thought you were asleep. How much of that did you hear? When they saw her on the streets as a ghost. It's just a story, it's just pretend. Was her dress all bloody? Wow. That startled me. Let's go. No. Because I don't want to. Iris? Oh, hey. Looks like it's going to be a great day for weather. So, go tell your mother that kayaking is the most important thing in your life right now and that's what you want to do, okay? I'm drawing. Well do this then draw. Because. Heather? One sec. Do you have shorts on under that dress? Mm-hmm. You seem to have ought a lot of dresses. They're pretty. It makes no sense. Where's Dad? He wants me to tell you that kayaking is the most important thing in my life. Oh, kayaking today? We made plans with Steph and Leo. Don't you wanna see them for lunch? They have a pool, you love pools. Go get your suit on. Well, I wanna go. Will you please tell Dad that we really wanna go and you really wanna swim in their pool. Please? I can't finish it now, stop. Why? We get five minutes alone as a family and she wants to go see other people? No. I love pools. I can ing my swimsuit. Look, don't you wanna spend time, just us? Just with me and your mother, as a family? Yes. Well, go tell her that. Come on, give me some space, all right? Go tell your mother. In where? Huh? No, how would you feel? How would you feel if somebody said something like that? Huh? That wouldn't feel so good, would it? I know a ghost story. You do? I love ghost stories. Everybody loves a ghost story until it happens to them. A girl wants to get married and she got trapped in a box and now people see her with bloody sleeves in churches. I know a story like that but I heard it a little differently. A girl was gonna get married but she wanted to do it right. So, she thought, I have to wear that wedding dress that's up in the attic. The one that's in the box. She could prop open the lid with a stick and in the box, in the steamer, was the wedding dress. And she went to the bottom of the box but all of a sudden... The lid slammed shut and she was trapped in the box. And she was pounding, Hoping that somebody would hear her pounding. And she pounded louder, And louder and louder and louder until... She ran out of eath. And she couldn't pound anymore. Every piece of that wedding outfit, the gloves, the veil, the dress... She's in them all. She's not haunting where she lived. She's haunting what she wore. What is this? Heather? Shit. Well shit. I'd get the hell out of there. Yeah, I know, but the girls are sleeping. If it's freaking you out you gotta ask yourself, is it your house or the raccoon's house at this point? I don't even know if it is a raccoon, dude. What else is it gonna be? Heather's already... She wanted to rent a totally different house. Rabid raccoon. If I tell them there's a possum under her bed, she's gonna flip. So what, wake her up. It's not that easy, man. I found this place. I spent all this money to come up here and then I got fired. Is Heather being supportive about that? She knows I got fired, she doesn't know I got fired because I got angry. My God, sorry. I don't mean to laugh but you guys, you keeps secrets for no reason, tell her. Wake her up and tell her, you idiot. I got more urgent shit, Jay! I got a possum in my rental house and I have to get it out tonight. You gonna fight it? When's the last time you fought a possum? Ha, ha, ha. Please let me know what happens, man. Yeah, you're hilarious. - What could go wrong? - Yeah, I'll call you later. Oh, fuck. Hey, guys. I need to talk to you about something for a second. Iris, come sit. Come here, buddy. So, I just got a call from the show and they want to add me to the next episode. I know it sounds insane but... How soon? Two days for the table read and then we shoot. They want to know if I can be back on Wednesday. Oh man. Do it. I told them I would have to see if it was possible. You just got here. I told them that but I could come back. You should do it. Okay, well let's... Let's just eat, enjoy what little vacation we have left. I have to call them back now. I think you should do whatever you would like better. This could be good. Good for the family. It's good money, we need the money and... It's just, you've been making the money for so long and now, now I get to be the one. I think you should do it. Okay, sorry. You should. Look, this is the dream. Okay, nobody deserves this more than you. Are you kidding? You have to do it. Okay, I'm here, we can do it all. You should do it. Do it. I get it. Hey, Francis, it's Heather. Okay, so here's the thing, I can't do it. I love them, I love the show but I just can't get back that fast. Maybe we could say it's a family crisis kind of a thing but... Here, let me just, let me try to explain. I got up here... Ugh. Ugh. Hey. Where's Iris? She's around. Did she go back inside? I don't think so. There are the clothes or whatever they are. They're disgusting. Well, she's been finding stuff she likes at the antique shop. What? Honey. Did you just put a pile of sticks in the car? Did you take that bag of clothes out of the trash? Ugh. Oh! - I'm sorry. - They are covered in spiders! Yesterday, I told you not to keep the sticks in the house but you did it anyway. So, I put them outside and now you hid them in the trunk. That's it, sticks are gone! - I'm sorry. - No more! I'm sorry. Iris, come here. Iris. Come here, listen, your mother is 100 percent right. Easy, easy, easy, look at me, don't get upset. Look at me. We're gonna figure this out, okay? I put a bag on the other side of the house. You can keep them in the bag, okay? Did she have a set bedtime? Sure. I just feel like maybe there were no rules when I was gone. That's not true. Then why is she acting like this? You see it too, right? And she goes off by herself, completely alone. Look, when I was her age, the summertime, my mom would give us eakfast, send us off and we wouldn't see her until dinner. Yeah, well it was different then. I think we think it was different. I mean, we'd ride around. No one was watching us. I mean, now you gotta have like a phone with a chip to track them like dogs. I mean, thank God she doesn't have a phone. How can you have any actual freedom with a GPS, right? Oh hey, Charlie. Good afternoon. Charlie, this is my wife, Heather. Oh hi, nice to meet you. I saw the child out on the road. Got an independent streak. Oh yeah? Where did you see her? Oh, up on the east side. Oh, all right. Huh. Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. She there? - Oh, there. - Okay. There she is. - Ugh. - Hold on, wait, just wait. - Stop, stop! Just wait a minute. Where were you? Where were you? Where'd you go? Honey, where did you go? All by yourself? It's okay, come on. You took a long walk. Go, go, go. Buckle up, buckle up. What were you thinking? Are you okay? Do you know how worried we were? Ow! - I'm sorry! Did you just hit your mother? Did you just throw a stick at me? I'm sorry! No! Please, that's my stuff! Dad, go back! I'm not going back, take it easy! Did you just hit your mother? - Dad! - Not one more word. Not one more word out of you! We are going home! Did she get you in the eye? Ugh. Yeah, cry! Cry! They can all go! I don't understand your business with it! I can't understand how you can think it's okay to talk to me this way! I am gonna go away and you are never gonna see me! And I'm gonna go to the arch, I'm gonna stand underneath it! I'm gonna be there with Maddy and Dunkin and I'm gonna fly away and you will be so mad at yourself for yelling at me like this. I need from you is a true apology. Is that all you care about, is a stick? That's it, no more sticks! No more of hiding stuff! - I need those sticks! - Any of this... Antique shop crap! I need those things. I'm keeping them together, Heather. Oh well, not anymore! You are being absolutely ridiculous! All this, I don't... What happened to you? What? This is not the little girl... Okay, here's how I think today should go. I think that Iris and I should have a total mommy, daughter day and you should go to town, work, whatever and just meet us for dinner. Really? I just feel so disconnected from her. Oh, that could be kinda great. Could you do me one favor? Yeah. Could you go to the realty place and see if they could switch us to a different house? I don't think there are... Something closer to town. Just, just see, there's gotta be something. - Okay. - And are they the ones that left us that message? That was so weird. - Yeah. I just feel like this house has a lot of... Like weird noises, right? I was gonna say spiders. And spiders. Weird noises and spiders. Just see. Oh, you're kidding me. Hello? Hello? Oh. Hi. Is this 23 Towline Road? It is. All this time, I never knew you were connected with the realty place. We're not open today. Well, I just have questions. Do you know, is there availability at any other house up here right now? Nope. I mean, to potentially switch houses, rental houses? Not a good rental property. Okay, I thought maybe there might be another house because I heard that our house might not be ready yet. You should know. You're in it. Do you know if that house was owned by a family called Dodge? Used to be a lot of Dodges around here. Yeah, that's what I thought. Thought it sounded familiar. I grew up not far from here. You grew up around here? Yeah, I mean, I live in New York now... You know that story then. What, the ghost story? I didn't know it had to do with that house. No ghost. We had a bunch of houses all along the point. Some of them were awful rich. When I was small, bad stories, the whole family. What, the girl in the box? That was the worst of it. Okay, so just so I understand, you're name is Dodge and the house we're staying in is your house? Stay alive long enough, you wind up owning property. So, yes. It's a terrible rental property. You want your money back, there's a policy. Well, yeah, if there's something you're not telling me about the house, then yes, I'll get my money back. Why would I stay, you know? Office opens up tomorrow. Barn's open too. Okay, excuse me, but I would... Goodbye. So Dad let's you come all this way by yourself? I know my way back. Wow. Okay. Oh hey, remember this one? Word. Bird. Sing. Iris? Iris? Iris. Hey, what you doing? Don't go back in deep like that, there's ticks and poison ivy and... And who where you talking to? I thought I saw you talking to somebody. I was just playing. Are you mad? Are you really mad? I'm just having a nice hike. There's a place for the minister, there. And Dunkin's mom and dad and the people from town. They stand at the back. Then the choir will stand... Ugh. I'm sorry. What is going on here? It's just a dress. It's not about the dress, it's about you and your dad keeping secrets from me. I just wanna wear something nice. What're you like playing a ghost story game with him? What is going on? You do not have to wear some filthy thing out of a church basement. It looks beautiful on me. Who tells you that? You don't think so? The woman at the antique place. No, the ide. That is just a story. You wouldn't even know because you weren't here. He got fired. If people say you get mad all the time, you have to make sure people know that you don't. And you weren't even here! Well, really, nobody was here. I hate you. You do not hate me. No, please. Heather. Ow! Heather, stop. Ugh! Okay, Heather, Heather. - No, it all goes! - Heather? Heather, Heather it's not... - All of it! Heather, it's not going. It's not going. Heather. Heather, please stop it. It's mine. - No, Iris! Give me those! - It's my stuff. - Come here! Get in the car! Get in the car! Get in! Stop it! Stop it! I'm sorry! I'm here to say you were right. I was wrong. I bought this nice bottle of Pinot. I would like to drink it with you and then figure out a way that we can leave this house as soon as possible. All right, we can go back to New York early. Call them, you can get that job back, is that crazy? Yes, that is crazy. That job is gone. I turned down that job even though I loved it, so that I could stay here, in a house that we can't afford, and eat fucking lobster rolls. So, yes, that is crazy. What I wanna know is, did you get laid off because they eliminated your job or did you have an incident? Okay. You are scary when you get angry. Was it Vanessa? I did nothing wrong, you know her. I can believe that but you didn't tell me about it. There's nothing to tell. Did you hide sticks behind the trunk? - No. - No? No but listen. Did you duck tape a bag of clothes underneath her bed on the underside of her bed? That was not her fault. I know, I didn't say that she did it, you did it. Those things are really important to her. Yes, but you and I had a discussion and we agreed. I know. - And yet... - Oh, man. You're just gonna do your own thing. Wow. Why don't you just raise her by yourself then? I am. I'm doing it. Hey! Hey, hey, for the last month, I've been making the decisions and I've been doing a pretty good job. Okay, she gets up by herself. She gets to bed by herself. She sets the table, you don't even have to ask. She's not so needy. Yeah, that's not parenting. That is just leaving her alone. I guess it's a style of parenting. Hey, hey, here's what's happening. Okay, you're coming in at the end of our time together and basically, you're saying all the fun that we've been having is suddenly not allowed. Okay, if I'm the parent, I'm the parent. Great, have fun! But if you've got everything so well handled up here, then how come I couldn't go do the job I wanted? You think that job is gonna wait for me? It's not. I turned it down because you can't handle being on vacation at the fucking beach with your own kid! I mean, how helpless are you? Hey, hey, hey, you cannot talk to me like that. Okay, okay, but stay with me. Stay with me because this is what you do all the time. You get mad and then you cut people off. Don't cut me off, I am talking about Iris. Look what you're doing to her. What am I doing to her? She wants to marry you, she wants to kill me. She threw a stick in my eye. Not in your eye. In my eye, look at this! Really? Look, I could go to the doctor! What, from yesterday? This is how she feels about me. Where, there? Get away! Okay, it's bad, it's bad if she hit you in the eye. - You laughing? - No. Are you laughing at me? I didn't see anything in your eye. You are trying to be the fun parent and suddenly I am outside my family. There will be a time... And look how you love it! Okay, that's it, that's it? Okay, please, Heather. Where is she? Is is inside playing, I am not invited. I thought I heard her up here. Iris? Honey? Are you hiding? Damn it. Could she have come out here? What was the fight about? I mean, what did she say? I don't know. Iris! Iris? Iris, come out! Iris! - Iris! Iris! - Iris! Iris, come on out. Iris! Iris! Iris! Iris! Iris! Iris! Iris! I think one of us should stay at the house. Okay, okay. Iris? Iris, honey? - Iris! - Honey? Honey? Where, where? - Iris! - Iris! Iris! Iris! Hang on, hang on! All right, hold on, hold on! Hang on, honey, we're gonna get you out! We're gonna get you out! Hang on, hang on! Stand back! Don! Back off! Grab it, grab it, grab it! Get it out there! Get! Oh God, Iris? Honey! - Come on. Honey? Honey? Look, I can call them. No, look, the light is on. Iris! Iris! Here she is, here she is. Hi, hi, have you seen out littler girl? Our daughter, Iris? Oh, come in. Have you seen her? No. She's missing? You know who she is, right? You've given her stuff. - Iris! Is she here? - Iris! - Not now. Earlier. - Today? - Yeah. When? Hours ago. She was here several hours ago. What was she doing? She was looking at this book. She loved this book. I collect things and she loved everything I collected but especially the stuff from Maddy Dodge. So I gave her the shoes, the veil, because with every item that I gave her, the talking in my head got quieter. Except the wedding dress. I couldn't give her the wedding dress because I never had the wedding dress. I was gonna get some movers, maybe, to help me move that trunk. But you came up too soon. It might've been in that trunk! What? What might have been in there? The wedding dress. And she's such a beautiful girl. It'll fit her soon because it chose her, right? Wait, wait, is this a real place? Do you know where this is? Yeah. This is where Maddy Dodge was gonna meet Dunkin. You know, I think we can give them this book, right? I was just gonna put it... Where is this? Where is this? Whoa, Iris. Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Maddy? Maddy? Dunkin didn't come. Oh, honey. Doesn't it look beautiful on me? It does, it looks beautiful on you. It's time to fly but he didn't come meet me. He did come but it was a long time ago. But we're here for Iris. Okay, now that you're out of the box, you can go and find him. But it won't happen this way. Maddy, Dunkin is waiting for you. You have to let go of Iris first. Let Iris go and then you can be with him. Maddy. Me and your dad, we love each other. We love you. So sorry, honey, sometimes I don't say that but it's true. Iris. Iris. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry, Mom. It's okay.

You can imagine the whole world is just... quiet. - And empty. - That's, uh... peaceful. It sounds peaceful. police siren wailing phone ringing Hey. Yeah, I am. Do you have what I want? Yeah, I have it. It'll be inside a black bag. Don't ask me where I got it. It's really better if you don't know. No. I'll be coming alone. I have a ride.

Yeah, I hate to ing this up, but do you think it'd be possible to pull over? What do you mean? I'm sorry, but, uh, I think there's a rest stop up ahead. If we could just stop for a moment. - You got to go? - Sorry. You know, it really won't take long to get to your destination. No, no, I know but I just... Honestly, we're almost there.

A week ago, she was stabbed eight times in the parking lot of a restaurant downtown. Oh, shit. What's it got to do with me? This picture was taken earlier that day. You see these earrings? She didn't have them when she arrived at the hospital. We're guessing whoever stabbed her still has them. You want to know if someone try to unload them here? Nice pair. Earrings, I mean. But no, I haven't seen them. Well, if anything comes in... call me. scoffs So, what, you're gonna hit every pawn shop in town? door shuts, bell chimes video resumes playing You all right?

So, I'm going to have to insist. - radio shuts off - Sorry about that. Might have had it a little loud. It's not your fault. I just can't stand amelodic rhythms. It's probably something neurological. They nauseate me. And I'm... I'm not speaking figuratively. I... I feel an actual physical sense of nausea when I hear certain songs. It's almost like a... feeling of vertigo. Louder and more dissonant the song is, the worse it gets. Have you ever heard of The Rite of Spring? No. Igor Stravinsky in the early 1900s composed a piece of music so intense and disturbing that, uh, supposedly people in the audience began to riot. The first people to hear it were, uh, almost driven mad. I haven't heard of it. It's actually become popular over the years. But, you know, that tends to happen. People begin to tolerate a certain degree of madness. sizzling ominous music - Do you smell that? - What? Something's burning. I smell smoke. Yeah, you're right. I'm going to pull over for a second.

You know, with the engine? - I wasn't calling anybody. - I heard you talking. Neil. Your friend. He finally called me back. Neil? Neil called you back? Well, then, I told you. You have nothing to worry about. Sorry for the delay. Yeah, it's fine. As long as we get going now. car starting You know, you should probably have someone take a look at that. Your engine, I mean. - If it keeps overheating. - I know. I've been meaning to. You know, it puts real wear and tear on your car driving it like this. And it's not like the app covers any of the costs. I suppose that's an extra expense, but for someone in your line of work, it's a necessity. Your car's your livelihood, after all.

It was a gift from an old boyfriend, actually. He gave it to me the first weekend we went out of town. We weren't able to see each other much because of work and... other stuff, so it was a really important trip. We went to Ybor City and stayed in this beautiful old hotel. unzipping And at night, we had the most amazing dinner. Finger steak with white truffle pasta. After afterward, we went for a walk on the beach. Just us and the waves. And then he stopped and pulled the acelet out of his coat. It had been there all night.

Sweetheart, you better get that car washed before someone think you really did kill someone. laughing Uh-huh. Salutations, motherfuckers. laughing hysterically Shit. phone ringing Captain? Yeah. Dispatch said you needed something. detective Yes, sir. I put a call in for a team of crime scene techs. Captain Yeah, well, what do you got? Potential hit and run. I got a long streak of blood running down the middle of the road here. Looks like the victim made it to the side of the road. Well, what's the condition of the victim? Well, the victim isn't here. Captain Okay. So you found blood in the street? Yes, sir. You know, Hartford, people hit animals all the time. A dead dog does not warrant a police investigation. Well, there's an awful lot of blood here, sir. Well, maybe it was a great frickin Dane. Now, look, I know you're trying to make your bones here, okay? But this is not the way you do it. You find a body in the street, call that in. Captain You find blood in the street, it's a job for sanitation. Yes. Sorry, sir. Understood. So what's with the gun anyway? I don't really trust those guys. I can't sleep. I haven't slept in days. I've been working 24-hour shifts, trying to keep busy but... I live the days in a trance. I've tried a lot of stuff, but the only thing that works for it is Diazepam. My insurance won't cover it but I need it so... That's what the pills are. Diazepam? Yeah. Valium? It can also treat a seizure in an emergency. So I guess I was lucky. And what are those? Rescue tools. I use them to cut people out of seat belt. Can also cut through clothing, trim bandages. They got a lot of uses. You're an EMT. I'm a paramedic. machine beeps machine beeps So what you were saying before, all the jewelry and stuff. Did you really take those off of dead bodies? Sometimes they're dead when we get there. Sometimes it's on the way to the hospital. I mean, most calls we get here are just minor stuff. A bar fight. Most times we just patch them up but not always. What happens? Well, it could be anything. Last call we got was for this girl, probably in her twenties, early thirties. Working a late shift at a restaurant downtown. Somebody accosted her right in the parking lot. Never found out who or why. Guy was gone when we get there. But, uh, she's been stabbed, eight times. Anterior puncture of the right lung. Her ventricular had already been perforated. And we can't stop the bleeding. And I'm with her when she dies. And I'm usually the one who's there. Was she the one with the watch? The one I found with the blood on it? She had a watch, necklace, pair of earrings. Yeah. I removed them all before we got to the hospital. Do you ever regret it? When you take that stuff. Should I? Well, most people when they see someone die, they get upset. Makes them sad, you know? Unless you're a psychopath. If I got upset every time I saw someone die I wouldn't be able to do my job. I found that out pretty quick. So it used to bother you? I suppose. Yeah. It did. Back when I started. And then what happened? Uh, I learned how to do the job. You just got to step outside of yourself for a little while. You just kind of switch the flip the part of yourself you to turn off to do this kind of work. When you're back home, when you're off duty, you can cry if you have to. You can grieve. One day I got to work and flip that switch and I just left it off. It seemed to make things easier. So. Are you going to live the rest of your life that way? Yeah, I don't know what that makes me. Maybe I am a psychopath. No. A psychopath is someone who pretends to feel things even when they don't. You're talking about someone who pretends not to feel things, even when they do. Did you ever think that that might be the reason? The reason for what? The reason you can't sleep at night. machine beeps And 20 on pump five, please. Your total's 43.72. It's a chip. You've got to use the chip reader. Thanks. tense music clerk Hey, lady. You forgot something. Oh, thanks. So, what are you doing with all this stuff? Bleach and garbage bags. Cleaning. phone ringing Do you hear that? It's my phone. Are you going to answer it? Hey, can you come here for a minute? Sure. Um... phone ringing How do you get to Highway 50 from here? Well, if you're headed east, you just follow the road that way a few more blocks until you hit the second light. phone ringing Hey, are you all right? I'm fine. Looks like I missed it. clerk Well, okay, then. Thanks. That was a mistake. I should have never let anyone get that close to the car. Sort of makes you wonder, though, you know. Who's calling this person? Not really. Honestly, I don't want to think about it. Well, it's not a good sign, though. What do you mean? Well, they're getting calls at this time of night. Someone's trying to get in touch with them. And that means someone's already looking for him. So what are we going to do? Look, just tell me where we're going. What's the spot you're talking about? Have you ever heard of Lake Oakley? Yeah. It's out in the boonies, right? Isn't there a camp out there? Uh, no. Well, no. Yeah, there used to be. A couple of years ago visitors started getting sick. A kid died. The lake was... was contaminated with algal blooms. Now the resort's shut down and the whole lake is covered in this layer of toxic algae. So if you get inside there and you sink something in that water, it'll be years before anybody finds it, if ever. Sink it? How do you sink it? Tie it to something heavy, like some icks. What about concrete blocks? Good evening. Looking into a possible hit and run. I'm wondering if anyone has used your car wash. I'm going to stop you right there. Do you remember anything about them? The girl came in and bought some stuff. What kind of stuff? Garbage bags and bleach. Maybe 20 minutes ago. Did they say where they were headed? You know that guy right there was actually asking me how to get to the highway from here. Isn't there some kind of a reward? door slams shut Here we go. They got them. That was lucky. Not really. These are leftover ones from the basement. The foreman uses them to make little workbenches. You've been here before? Every day. I designed this whole building back when I still had my job. Now all I can do is sit in the car, eating a sandwich while I watch the rest of them do the work without me. If they're still using your designs why would they fire you? Like I said, personal failings. I was dating my boss. Oh, I see. And you got caught? No. He oke up with me. He was married. I don't know how I thought things would go. I guess I was fooling myself. I told him I thought he was making the wrong choice, but he made it very clear that he was done with me. Just to make sure I didn't cause him any more trouble, he reported me to HR and got me fired. Oh. So that's what happened to my career. The thing I always wanted to do. Well, not just do, not just a job. I wanted to be an architect since I was a little girl. And now I drive strangers around in my car every night just to make rent. And I spend every day trying to find someone else who will hire me. It's not like I could get a reference from my old boss. So I've kind of been left out in the cold. At least now you can get your revenge. What do you mean? Stealing their cinderblocks. These have got to be worth at least a dollar a piece. Good point. That'll teach them. Can I ask you something? What? Why did you decide to help me? You needed help. Well, thank you. Mike. What? Mike. That's my name. Thank you, Mike. Mike. What's wrong? Oh. Nothing. suspenseful music playing Can I see the guy's phone? What do you need that for? Just thinking that we need to be thorough. Every trace of this guy needs to disappear or this will all come back to you. You should probably pull the battery out, just in case. They probably can track that stuff now. I'm not sure that's how it works. Well, just to be on the safe side, we should destroy the phone, not just sink it. Maybe you can eak it in half. The person that called when we were at the gas station. It says her name was Michelle. What did you say? police dispatcher Detective Hartford, please come in. The vehicle was due back at the station an hour... Huh. What? Oh, it's just something this guy said before he died. He said, Ladybug. He did? Yeah. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but it's a person, in his call history. That's why he mentioned her. That was the last person he spoke to. I mean, look at the time stamp. When was the accident? I don't remember. Well, it was around midnight. He got a call from this woman minutes before he died. How do you know it's a woman? Ladybug. Who do you think it is? sirens blaring Shit. What do I do? You have to pull over. It's probably nothing, like a busted tail light. They'll give you a ticket, and that'll be that. Is everything all right? Can you step out of the car, ma'am? Come with me. What's going on? I came across the scene of a possible hit and run earlier this evening. Oh, my God. There was a lot of blood at the scene, but no body. Do you know anything about that? Oh, I'm not sure what you mean. continue talking indistinctly Did you take your car through a car wash early this evening? Um, I may have. Any particular reason for that. The car was dirty. I've been meaning to clean it. talking inaudibly I'm going to take a look. This will only take a second. phone ringing Hello. Hi. It's me. You all right? What's going on? Alison I'm okay, I think. I mean, I picked this guy up for a ride, and... I don't know. There's something creepy about him. I'm sorry. I didn't want to call you, but I just didn't know what to do. sighs Do you need any help? Can you meet me outside? I'm right down the street from the office. Yeah, of course. Give me a minute. I'll be right down. I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do. I feel like something really bad is going to happen. If I look in the trunk of that car, what am I going to find? Nothing. Just old clothes and things I was planning to give away. Okay. I'm gonna ask you to open the trunk. Okay. Can you take a step back now? - gunshot - thudding trunk slams shut That was close. No. It's good, man. - You need a receipt? - laughing You're serious? chuckles Get the fuck out of here. Your product in the bag over there. You can use the bag for transportational purposes or whatever, but I will need it back, and my kids. Yeah. Sure of thing. scoffs door slams shut snorting Hey, Captain. Yeah. It's done. I'm headed back to the station. There's something I want to check out first. Let me ask you, what's the best way to head out to Lake Oakley? sirens blaring Mike A... Alison. Hey, Mike. I just want to say I appreciate you sticking with me through all this. This whole thing has not been easy for me. But you have kept a level head. You have kept me calm and focused when everything else was crazy. If you weren't here, I don't know what I'd do. So thank you. Alison? Alison Yeah. Who is that man in the trunk? He knew you. He's the one I told you about. Who? When I worked at Miller & Westhoff, he was my boss. You are Ladybug. The one that called him. Right before the accident. Did you know that he would be on that street corner? But it was all an accident. You... you were hysterical. Was I? Yeah, of course. I needed an alibi. You were supposed to come to my rescue. Maybe I went a little overboard. But believe me, I've cried enough real tears for Ray already. I just needed someone to speak to the police. I didn't expect you to volunteer as an accomplice. It doesn't matter. When we get to the lake, we can get rid of him. Thanks to you. And then we'll be done with all of this. Right. Mike grunting I'm going to start scrubbing the blood out of the trunk. You got this? Sure. Tense music Are you worn out? You must be tired. You had a lot of work. I hardly ever come out here. You'd think it would be quiet at night but listen, frogs, crickets. It's kind of nice just to listen to. You're all right? I'll be fine. Alison Do you want to go home? Yeah. If you want, I can put on some music. But you don't like pop music, right? You're more of a classical guy? Uh, I don't know. It doesn't matter. I bet I know what you're looking forward to. What? When you get home, you're looking forward to getting some sleep. I don't blame you. We've been driving all night. I'm exhausted. I can't wait to get home and forget all about this. So what are you going to do? Alison What do you mean? There's two bodies. You left that cop back there. What are you going to do about that? I don't know. Do you think I need to do something? You shot him. Well, yeah, but... well, that wasn't my gun. That was the gun from your bag. I pulled it out back at the gas station. Did you buy that gun yourself or did you borrow it from someone? Uh, yeah, I... I bought it. So it's registered to you then. Well, if you're on record as the owner, then I don't really have anything to worry about, now, do I? Mike groaning You all right, Mike? See. I told you you'd be sleepy. Where are they? Where are they? I had four bottles in here. Yeah, you probably don't need them, but just in case, I crushed a couple up for you. If you've been drinking that soda, you're probably starting to feel it. And don't worry about any loose ends. No one will know what happened. I'll make sure of it.

When a plan is fully realized, there is no one and nothing that can stand in your way. This is my boss's car. That's sweet. - This is my boss's wife's car. - Oh, my God. Yeah, that's hell a tight, too. This is my boss's cousin's car. Oh... Oh, my Go... Bro, I'm getting extremely hard right now. And that's how we all got to know each other. So, Tina, she had this thing for Gabe. Really good-looking guy, hot musician, long hair. The problem with Gabe, though, is that he was busy with literally every other girl on campus. Didn't even know Tina existed. So, Gabe and my other are best friends. Well, actually, they're cousins, but that doesn't matter. My other ends up falling for Tina. The problem with Tina, though, that I knew... my other had to find out the hard way... Is that Tina is super high-mai. - High-mai? - High-maintenance. Okay. So tell me what you think about this. ...are not sure how the dog got in there. Police are still looking for a suspect in the murder of an Orlando woman late last Thursday night. Twenty-two-year-old Emily June was fatally stabbed outside of the Winter Park restaurant where she worked as a waitress. Police have yet to determine a motive. Stock prices fell for the second week in a row as news of a labor shortage... In one mile, merge onto I-4 East. You have arrived at your destination. Please look out for Neil. Come on, Neil. Where are you? Are you Neil? That's right. - You're Neil? - Yes, I am. That's not you. If we could get moving, there's somewhere I have to be and I'd like to be there soon. I'm here to pick up this guy. No, that's Neil. And you're here to pick me up. You said you were Neil. I know. Look, Neil's my friend. Neil called this ride for me. So, if we could go? Please. I think I should talk to Neil. Oh no, you don't need to. I should call him real quick. You don't need to call him. I'm sure he messaged you already. Did he you message you? Yo, it's Neil. You know what to do when you hear the bee... Okay, look, there's no one else on the street. If the ride's not for me, then who's it for? So, if we could just get moving? You'll hear from Neil, I'm sure, sooner or later. Thank you, by the way. - For what? - Oh, for deciding to take me. I understand you have rules to follow. I'm not trying to cause trouble. It's not a problem. It's just that I have a feeling this will be a long night. And I'd rather things went smoothly. - Why do you say that? - What? Why do you say it's going to be a long night? Anyways, I... it's nothing personal. I just didn't want to have to kick out another passenger. You kicked someone out before? One guy. He kept hitting on me. So, I told him to get out. - Where'd you leave him? - I don't know. Wherever. But he called the company and I got in trouble. I really can't afford to lose this job, so... Well, you have nothing to fear from me. So, where are we heading? - You gonna hit the clubs? - Nah. I'm more of a classical music guy. Those songs drive me crazy. Not much else to do this time of night. Oh, depends on what you're looking for. I mean, it's none of my business, but... just curious. When it gets this late, it seems like everyone is either heading home from the bar or heading out to the bar. Either that, or I'm taking a stoner to Taco Bell and they don't even know what time it is. Sounds troublesome. In one mile turn right... Yeah. But it's fine. Nothing I can't handle. Let me ask you something. What's been the worst night of your life? What do you mean? I hope it wasn't because of a passenger. No. It's never gotten that bad. Do you enjoy it? - What? Being a driver? - Yeah. Do you enjoy your job? This isn't really my job. I just do it to make money. Yeah. That's a fine distinction. I mean, uh, I'm really an architect. That's what I actually do. I've just had some... setbacks. Let me guess. A catastrophic structural failure? Hmm, no. More like catastrophic personal failure. The problem is there's only so many firms in the city and everyone seems to know each other. - So, if you screw up... - In 500 feet, turn right. ...It kind of follows you. But I'll... You know, I can get back in. I'm sure. So, what do you do? Oh. Um... I work nights, like you. - Oh, okay. - Turn right. I like the city at night. - Yeah, not much traffic. - Yeah, exactly. In one mile, merge onto Highway 50 West. The streets start to empty out I think around 2:00 a.m. That's the best time. There's so few people out. I feel like I have the city to myself, you know? You can make great time. Yeah, there are times where you can go blocks without seeing a single person. I always like it when that happens. I like to pretend that I'm all alone. You can imagine the whole world is just... quiet. - And empty. - That's, uh... peaceful. It sounds peaceful. Hey. Yeah, I am. Do you have what I want? Yeah, I have it. It'll be inside a black bag. Don't ask me where I got it. It's really better if you don't know. No. I'll be coming alone. I have a ride. No, she is, but she'll be gone by the time I get there. You'll never even see her. I wouldn't worry about it. So, was that your friend? - Who? - Neil. Oh, um, no. Yeah, I hate to ing this up, but do you think it'd be possible to pull over? What do you mean? I'm sorry, but, uh, I think there's a rest stop up ahead. If we could just stop for a moment. - You got to go? - Sorry. You know, it really won't take long to get to your destination. No, no, I know but I just... Honestly, we're almost there. I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist. - Okay. It's your time. - Thank you. Uh, it's right up here. It'll just be a minute. There's a vending machine out here, too, if you like. - Thanks. I'm good. - Are you sure? I think I'll just stay here. Okay. Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey. What's wrong? - You startled me. - I'm not that scary, am I? Sorry for taking so long. Hey. I ought you something. Help yourself. I already opened it for you. Cool. Thanks. Don't you like cola? I think I'll save it for later. When I need the caffeine. Huh. Of course. If you're here to rob the place, you're too late. We've already made our cash draw for the day. Not here to rob you. What can I do for you, officer? Looking for a pair of earrings. Something for the little lady? I'm guessing that's not your girl. Emily Jane. A week ago, she was stabbed eight times in the parking lot of a restaurant downtown. Oh, shit. What's it got to do with me? This picture was taken earlier that day. You see these earrings? She didn't have them when she arrived at the hospital. We're guessing whoever stabbed her still has them. You want to know if someone try to unload them here? Nice pair. Earrings, I mean. But no, I haven't seen them. Well, if anything comes in... call me. So, what, you're gonna hit every pawn shop in town? You all right? Yeah, I'm fine. You seem a little stressed out. Maybe we should just listen to some music. Excuse me. Can we turn the music off, please? - What was that? - I said, I prefer to have the music off, please. You don't like it? No. In fact, I... I really can't stand it. So, I'm going to have to insist. Sorry about that. Might have had it a little loud. It's not your fault. I just can't stand amelodic rhythms. It's probably something neurological. They nauseate me. And I'm... I'm not speaking figuratively. I... I feel an actual physical sense of nausea when I hear certain songs. It's almost like a... feeling of vertigo. Louder and more dissonant the song is, the worse it gets. Have you ever heard of The Rite of Spring? No. Igor Stravinsky in the early 1900s composed a piece of music so intense and disturbing that, uh, supposedly people in the audience began to riot. The first people to hear it were, uh, almost driven mad. I haven't heard of it. It's actually become popular over the years. But, you know, that tends to happen. People begin to tolerate a certain degree of madness. - Do you smell that? - What? Something's burning. I smell smoke. Yeah, you're right. I'm going to pull over for a second. I'm going to take a look. This will only take a second. Hey, it's me. I just feel like something really bad is going to happen. - Everything all right? - Yeah, I'm fine. The engine just overheats sometimes. Oh, well, I'm sure it's had a chance to cool off by now. We should probably get going. Right. Who were you on the phone with? The phone? Were you calling for help? You know, with the engine? - I wasn't calling anybody. - I heard you talking. Neil. Your friend. He finally called me back. Neil? Neil called you back? Well, then, I told you. You have nothing to worry about. Sorry for the delay. Yeah, it's fine. As long as we get going now. You know, you should probably have someone take a look at that. Your engine, I mean. - If it keeps overheating. - I know. I've been meaning to. You know, it puts real wear and tear on your car driving it like this. And it's not like the app covers any of the costs. I suppose that's an extra expense, but for someone in your line of work, it's a necessity. Your car's your livelihood, after all. Five years of college, two years of interning, an apprenticeship and my car is my livelihood. In one mile, turn left at Fox Hunt Drive. You know, I hadn't noticed it before, but, um, that's a very nice acelet you have on. Oh. Thanks. Can I ask you where you got it? It was a gift from an old boyfriend, actually. He gave it to me the first weekend we went out of town. We weren't able to see each other much because of work and... other stuff, so it was a really important trip. We went to Ybor City and stayed in this beautiful old hotel. And at night, we had the most amazing dinner. Finger steak with white truffle pasta. After afterward, we went for a walk on the beach. Just us and the waves. And then he stopped and pulled the acelet out of his coat. It had been there all night. And as he slipped it on my wrist, he said, I want you to know something. No matter what happens. I will always love you. Hey! Recalculating. Recalculating. Recalcul... Did you see that? I think you ran a red light. But did you see it? Do you think it was a dog? Yes. Now, let's go. Wait. You shouldn't do that. Wait by the car. Lady... Lady... Ladybug. He's dead. Oh... Oh, my God. Oh. Oh, my God. Oh, my... Sorry, Raymond. 911, what's your emergency? I need to report an accident. We're on Fox Hunt at Land Craft Avenue. Hey. It's awful. He's just laying there. - What? - I wouldn't do that. - Call the cops? I have to. - We should go. We can't. There's a dead body in the street. I have to explain what happened. I mean, I could lose my license. I could go to jail. I... I'll lose everything. Yes. But what do we say? Uh, you talk to them. Tell them it was an accident. If you vouch for me, If... If I have someone on my side... - No. No. - What? I will not speak to the police under any circumstances. But what will I do? If you call the police, they'll arrest you for manslaughter. Intentional or not, that's a crime you committed. And you'll lose everything, just like you said. No. - What's your name? - Alison. - What's your last name? - Meyers. Alison Meyers, do you want my help? Will you follow the instructions exactly and do everything I say, just as I describe it? - Yes. - Are you sure? - I have somewhere to be. - Wait! Help me. Hold on. He's missing a shoe. - We can't just... - Alison. There's a body in your trunk. We need to go. Dispatch to Detective Hartford. Respond to Fox Hunt and Land Croft for a possible signal four. 911 call was disconnected. 10-4, dispatch. Is there not a patrol car available? I'm trying to run down leads on a case. Negative, Detective Hartford. Respond to Fox Hunt and Land Croft. Responding to Fox Hunt and Land Croft. 23-59. Why are we taking it... Him with us? If we left him there, there would be a murder to investigate. And they'd come looking for you. But it's almost impossible to prosecute someone when there isn't a body. It'll be like he... He just vanished. Where are we going? First, we're going to my destination. Once we're done there, I'll take you where you need to go. And where is that? Someplace you can put a dead body where no one will find it. Take a right up here. Have you done this before? Have I done what before? You know. This sort of stuff. - Hit and runs? - Moving bodies. Just before the accident, you tried to take something from me. I had to grab your arm to stop you. I know. What were you going to do with that gun? What did you think I was gonna do? I don't know. I was... scared. Scared of what? I looked in your bag. When we pulled over at the rest stop, I looked inside. You shouldn't have done that. What is all that stuff? Jewelry and gold watches. I saw you take the ring off that guy's finger. He doesn't need it. Is that how you got all that stuff? - What do you mean? - You stole it? You stole each piece off of somebody. Yes. I saw blood. On a watch. Did you... What happened to those people? You said that if I helped you, you'd follow my instructions, that you'd do as I say. - Yes. - Be quiet. I understand you'd rather not be here. But I won't be long. I'd like to get this over with quickly. What do you want me to do? Absolutely nothing. Hello? Hello? Yeah, sure. We're still down. - Excuse me. - I'll call you back. Hey, pretty woman. You here to buy or you here to party? I'm looking for someone. Party's in the living room. I think Low Boy's in the back are doing some transactional shit. I gotta hit the head. Hopefully you'll stick around. Do I know you? - Neil? - Alison! I booked a ride. What took so long? My fault. Sorry. - Car trouble. - Check it out. I got my girl Bridget here. And over there on the couch is Bowser, tripping off the VR. You want to try it out? Take a hit at. Strap on the VR and zhoom! Down the tunnel to a whole another universe. Man, it's wild, for real. I'm sure it's great, but I'm looking for your friend. Oh, yeah. I think he's in the back with Low Boy. Hey, look out for Kathy. Who the fuck are you? Um, I'm Alison. I drive a Backseat. I'm here to pick someone up. Do you usually come inside when you pick them up with your car? Well, you see, I dropped him off here, and now I have to take him somewhere else, so, uh... Alison, right? Let me show you something. Come on. This way. Come on. If you don't mind, I think I'm gonna go back and wait in the car. Ladies first. So, you're one of them ride share drivers, yeah? How do you like it? Being a driver, I mean. You meet some interesting people. Have a seat. Let's set the mood. Well, you're a good girl, right? I mean, you're not gonna cause no problems to nobody. I'm sorry for going in your bedroom. I promise, I was just looking for my friend. Well, I know one thing. Ain't nobody what they say they are. I mean, take that Cosby cocksucker. Everybody thinking he harmless and shit, making jokes about his sweater and pudding pops. Meanwhile, that motherfucker gone through more roofies than a UCF frat house. On the other hand, take me. Maybe you think I'm some kind of dope dealer, a pusher, a kingpin. Well, now, see, that ain't me. What I am is I'm a... I'm a healer, a medicine man. You know, I... I'm inging the community together. You know? No thanks. What I want to know is what are you all about, little Miss Driver? See, I got a girl down at courthouse says the cops are trying to work up a case against me. Get someone on the inside. Reconnaissance. A couple days later, I catch you snooping around my boudoir. Real Scooby Doo-like. What am I supposed to think? You think I'm police? I don't know what the fuck you are. And that is the fucking problem. That is Kathy. And Kathy does my shit. And Kathy makes problems disappear, like unwanted guests. Low Boy! What's going on in there? Who sent you? Was it Andrino? Open up right now or I'm taking my shit across town... You try that, you see what you get from that cheap ass motherfucker. Look at me. I swear I'm not police. You know, that is exactly what a cop would say. - I couldn't be a cop. - Really? And why is that? Because... because... Go get her, Kathy. Because there's a dead body in my trunk. What? And why would a good goody girl like you have something like that in her trunk? I'm the one who killed him. Psycho chicks are the best. I'm going to go wait inside. Yeah. Well, I... I was gonna say you could do that. Yeah. So you met Kathy? Kathy, the crocodile. I thought she was an alligator. She got teeth and she live in a swamp. What the fuck difference does it make? I did a report on alligators in middle school, respect. So who's this guy you've ought? Oh, guys. Guys, I see it. I don't know. I've just met him tonight. You don't know him? No. But if Neil says he's cool, then he's cool. Hey, Neil. Your boy is cool, right? Nah. He's an asshole. So you can just ditch this guy, right? I mean, if you want to get out of here, just say the word. I know a few places where we can go. Yeah. I don't think so. Hey, hold on man. Three caps? Yeah, I need at least four. It took me months to get all this. I hear you, man, but that is business. Tell you what. Three caps and you can have a hit of whatever you like on my table over there. Thanks. I'll just stick with the pills. I suppose you're ready to go. Do you think? Well, let's go. I still got to get out to the Oaks. You mean Lake Oakley? What's out there? Oh, shit. Oh my god. Move the table. Move the table. What's she taking? What's she on? Uh, she took some E... Uh, she took some E - and she did a bump. - Give me her purse. She's epileptic and you gave her coke? I don't know. What are you saying? What the... What does that even mean? Low Boy, open my bag. I need a bottle. Oh, my God. Is she gonna die? Yes. Oh. Oh. Oh, my God. Oh. I thought you said she was going to die. She was. Let's go. What happened? What the hell was that? They're an interesting crowd. I mean, what was that with the girl? What did you put in her mouth? Hey, hey, wait, man. Here. Bonus. You earned that. Got one less dead chick at my house because you. Thanks. But you. Sweetheart, you better get that car washed before someone think you really did kill someone. Uh-huh. Salutations, motherfuckers. Shit. Captain? Yeah. Dispatch said you needed something. Yes, sir. I put a call in for a team of crime scene techs. Yeah, well, what do you got? Potential hit and run. I got a long streak of blood running down the middle of the road here. Looks like the victim made it to the side of the road. Well, what's the condition of the victim? Well, the victim isn't here. Okay. So you found blood in the street? Yes, sir. You know, Hartford, people hit animals all the time. A dead dog does not warrant a police investigation. Well, there's an awful lot of blood here, sir. Well, maybe it was a great frickin Dane. Now, look, I know you're trying to make your bones here, okay? But this is not the way you do it. You find a body in the street, call that in. You find blood in the street, it's a job for sanitation. Yes. Sorry, sir. Understood. So what's with the gun anyway? I don't really trust those guys. I can't sleep. I haven't slept in days. I've been working 24-hour shifts, trying to keep busy but... I live the days in a trance. I've tried a lot of stuff, but the only thing that works for it is Diazepam. My insurance won't cover it but I need it so... That's what the pills are. Diazepam? Yeah. Valium? It can also treat a seizure in an emergency. So I guess I was lucky. And what are those? Rescue tools. I use them to cut people out of seat belt. Can also cut through clothing, trim bandages. They got a lot of uses. You're an EMT. I'm a paramedic. So what you were saying before, all the jewelry and stuff. Did you really take those off of dead bodies? Sometimes they're dead when we get there. Sometimes it's on the way to the hospital. I mean, most calls we get here are just minor stuff. A bar fight. Most times we just patch them up but not always. What happens? Well, it could be anything. Last call we got was for this girl, probably in her twenties, early thirties. Working a late shift at a restaurant downtown. Somebody accosted her right in the parking lot. Never found out who or why. Guy was gone when we get there. But, uh, she's been stabbed, eight times. Anterior puncture of the right lung. Her ventricular had already been perforated. And we can't stop the bleeding. And I'm with her when she dies. And I'm usually the one who's there. Was she the one with the watch? The one I found with the blood on it? She had a watch, necklace, pair of earrings. Yeah. I removed them all before we got to the hospital. Do you ever regret it? When you take that stuff. Should I? Well, most people when they see someone die, they get upset. Makes them sad, you know? Unless you're a psychopath. If I got upset every time I saw someone die I wouldn't be able to do my job. I found that out pretty quick. So it used to bother you? I suppose. Yeah. It did. Back when I started. And then what happened? Uh, I learned how to do the job. You just got to step outside of yourself for a little while. You just kind of switch the flip the part of yourself you to turn off to do this kind of work. When you're back home, when you're off duty, you can cry if you have to. You can grieve. One day I got to work and flip that switch and I just left it off. It seemed to make things easier. So. Are you going to live the rest of your life that way? Yeah, I don't know what that makes me. Maybe I am a psychopath. No. A psychopath is someone who pretends to feel things even when they don't. You're talking about someone who pretends not to feel things, even when they do. Did you ever think that that might be the reason? The reason for what? The reason you can't sleep at night. And 20 on pump five, please. Your total's 43.72. It's a chip. You've got to use the chip reader. Thanks. Hey, lady. You forgot something. Oh, thanks. So, what are you doing with all this stuff? Bleach and garbage bags. Cleaning. Do you hear that? It's my phone. Are you going to answer it? Hey, can you come here for a minute? Sure. Um... How do you get to Highway 50 from here? Well, if you're headed east, you just follow the road that way a few more blocks until you hit the second light. Hey, are you all right? I'm fine. Looks like I missed it. Well, okay, then. Thanks. That was a mistake. I should have never let anyone get that close to the car. Sort of makes you wonder, though, you know. Who's calling this person? Not really. Honestly, I don't want to think about it. Well, it's not a good sign, though. What do you mean? Well, they're getting calls at this time of night. Someone's trying to get in touch with them. And that means someone's already looking for him. So what are we going to do? Look, just tell me where we're going. What's the spot you're talking about? Have you ever heard of Lake Oakley? Yeah. It's out in the boonies, right? Isn't there a camp out there? Uh, no. Well, no. Yeah, there used to be. A couple of years ago visitors started getting sick. A kid died. The lake was... was contaminated with algal blooms. Now the resort's shut down and the whole lake is covered in this layer of toxic algae. So if you get inside there and you sink something in that water, it'll be years before anybody finds it, if ever. Sink it? How do you sink it? Tie it to something heavy, like some icks. What about concrete blocks? Good evening. Looking into a possible hit and run. I'm wondering if anyone has used your car wash. I'm going to stop you right there. Do you remember anything about them? The girl came in and bought some stuff. What kind of stuff? Garbage bags and bleach. Maybe 20 minutes ago. Did they say where they were headed? You know that guy right there was actually asking me how to get to the highway from here. Isn't there some kind of a reward? Here we go. They got them. That was lucky. Not really. These are leftover ones from the basement. The foreman uses them to make little workbenches. You've been here before? Every day. I designed this whole building back when I still had my job. Now all I can do is sit in the car, eating a sandwich while I watch the rest of them do the work without me. If they're still using your designs why would they fire you? Like I said, personal failings. I was dating my boss. Oh, I see. And you got caught? No. He oke up with me. He was married. I don't know how I thought things would go. I guess I was fooling myself. I told him I thought he was making the wrong choice, but he made it very clear that he was done with me. Just to make sure I didn't cause him any more trouble, he reported me to HR and got me fired. Oh. So that's what happened to my career. The thing I always wanted to do. Well, not just do, not just a job. I wanted to be an architect since I was a little girl. And now I drive strangers around in my car every night just to make rent. And I spend every day trying to find someone else who will hire me. It's not like I could get a reference from my old boss. So I've kind of been left out in the cold. At least now you can get your revenge. What do you mean? Stealing their cinderblocks. These have got to be worth at least a dollar a piece. Good point. That'll teach them. Can I ask you something? What? Why did you decide to help me? You needed help. Well, thank you. Mike. What? Mike. That's my name. Thank you, Mike. Mike. What's wrong? Oh. Nothing. Can I see the guy's phone? What do you need that for? Just thinking that we need to be thorough. Every trace of this guy needs to disappear or this will all come back to you. You should probably pull the battery out, just in case. They probably can track that stuff now. I'm not sure that's how it works. Well, just to be on the safe side, we should destroy the phone, not just sink it. Maybe you can eak it in half. The person that called when we were at the gas station. It says her name was Michelle. What did you say? Detective Hartford, please come in. The vehicle was due back at the station an hour... Huh. What? Oh, it's just something this guy said before he died. He said, Ladybug. He did? Yeah. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but it's a person, in his call history. That's why he mentioned her. That was the last person he spoke to. I mean, look at the time stamp. When was the accident? I don't remember. Well, it was around midnight. He got a call from this woman minutes before he died. How do you know it's a woman? Ladybug. Who do you think it is? Shit. What do I do? You have to pull over. It's probably nothing, like a busted tail light. They'll give you a ticket, and that'll be that. Is everything all right? Can you step out of the car, ma'am? Come with me. What's going on? I came across the scene of a possible hit and run earlier this evening. Oh, my God. There was a lot of blood at the scene, but no body. Do you know anything about that? Oh, I'm not sure what you mean. Did you take your car through a car wash early this evening? Um, I may have. Any particular reason for that. The car was dirty. I've been meaning to clean it. I'm going to take a look. This will only take a second. Hello. Hi. It's me. You all right? What's going on? I'm okay, I think. I mean, I picked this guy up for a ride, and... I don't know. There's something creepy about him. I'm sorry. I didn't want to call you, but I just didn't know what to do. Do you need any help? Can you meet me outside? I'm right down the street from the office. Yeah, of course. Give me a minute. I'll be right down. I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do. I feel like something really bad is going to happen. If I look in the trunk of that car, what am I going to find? Nothing. Just old clothes and things I was planning to give away. Okay. I'm gonna ask you to open the trunk. Okay. Can you take a step back now? That was close. No. It's good, man. You need a receipt? You're serious? Get the fuck out of here. Your product in the bag over there. You can use the bag for transportational purposes or whatever, but I will need it back, and my kids. Yeah. Sure of thing. Hey, Captain. Yeah. It's done. I'm headed back to the station. There's something I want to check out first. Let me ask you, what's the best way to head out to Lake Oakley? A... Alison. Hey, Mike. I just want to say I appreciate you sticking with me through all this. This whole thing has not been easy for me. But you have kept a level head. You have kept me calm and focused when everything else was crazy. If you weren't here, I don't know what I'd do. So thank you. Alison? Yeah. Who is that man in the trunk? He knew you. He's the one I told you about. Who? When I worked at Miller & Westhoff, he was my boss. You are Ladybug. The one that called him. Right before the accident. Did you know that he would be on that street corner? But it was all an accident. You... you were hysterical. Was I? Yeah, of course. I needed an alibi. You were supposed to come to my rescue. Maybe I went a little overboard. But believe me, I've cried enough real tears for Ray already. I just needed someone to speak to the police. I didn't expect you to volunteer as an accomplice. It doesn't matter. When we get to the lake, we can get rid of him. Thanks to you. And then we'll be done with all of this. Right. I'm going to start scrubbing the blood out of the trunk. You got this? Sure. Are you worn out? You must be tired. You had a lot of work. I hardly ever come out here. You'd think it would be quiet at night but listen, frogs, crickets. It's kind of nice just to listen to. You're all right? I'll be fine. Do you want to go home? Yeah. If you want, I can put on some music. But you don't like pop music, right? You're more of a classical guy? Uh, I don't know. It doesn't matter. I bet I know what you're looking forward to. What? When you get home, you're looking forward to getting some sleep. I don't blame you. We've been driving all night. I'm exhausted. I can't wait to get home and forget all about this. So what are you going to do? What do you mean? There's two bodies. You left that cop back there. What are you going to do about that? I don't know. Do you think I need to do something? You shot him. Well, yeah, but... well, that wasn't my gun. That was the gun from your bag. I pulled it out back at the gas station. Did you buy that gun yourself or did you borrow it from someone? Uh, yeah, I... I bought it. So it's registered to you then. Well, if you're on record as the owner, then I don't really have anything to worry about, now, do I? You all right, Mike? See. I told you you'd be sleepy. Where are they? Where are they? I had four bottles in here. Yeah, you probably don't need them, but just in case, I crushed a couple up for you. If you've been drinking that soda, you're probably starting to feel it. And don't worry about any loose ends. No one will know what happened. I'll make sure of it. Mike, relax. Where are you? Gordie Wilson, Orlando PD. She says, this guy a called a ride then forced her to drive around the city trading stolen merchandise for drugs. I came across these two at Low Boy's and I knew something was up. They were headed out to Lake Oakley when an officer pulled them over. She says he shot him right in front of her. Christ. Well, it sounds like she's had a hell of a night. Miss, are you all right? I think so. It's all over now. You're safe. Thanks. To plan is more than just preparation. It is to conceive of a desired outcome to define the shape of one's future. When a plan is fully realized, there is no one and nothing that can stand in your way.
The young people of today have to be careful not to get trap in a desperate quest for love. Welcome to the Light. We acknowledge every young person's right to be happy. We can guarantee you will find your one and only soulmate here. The future is ight and it's waiting for you. Join the Light, and we'll ing out the light in you. Oh, I got chills. I bet it was the narrator's voice that got to you. It's so fatherly. Yeah. Every time I see you post pictures of you and your dad, I'm always jealous. I've never had moments like those. Of course, Ulfah would post pics with her dad. She doesn't have anything else she could upload. Well, life isn't fair, Tara. I've long accepted that. I actually wanna trade places with you, Ul. Then I wouldn't have to stress over replying to all the comments. The point is, at the Light… we're gonna find everything we've been searching for. And we, three, can always be together. I'm just grateful that I was chosen to join the Light along with my childhood best friends. Almost all girls dream of getting married with an ideal wedding in mind. In an era as uncertain as this, young people like us have been forced to give up on our dreams. And although the pandemic is over, our possibilities are still limited. Are we almost there? I'm getting nervous. Like me, a lot of people have never had the privilege of observing the beauty of forest and nature. Wow. The last time I saw a scenery as fresh and green like this was seven years ago. My mom told me that after the pandemic, it's like the world rapidly aged. I guess that's why she's depressed. All right, I'm Salina. My late father taught me not to be afraid to go after my dreams. The Light has to as be beautiful as this, right? -Are you okay? -What's going on? -Hey. -Did we run off on something? What's going on? -What is that? -What's happening? Oh, my goodness. Let's get her up. -Are you okay? -I'm all right. I wasn't actually hit. -I was just shocked when I saw the bus… -Did you get hurt? …and fell. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. -Can you walk with her, sir? -No need, I'm fine. It's okay. Here, let me help. Watch your step. There's nothing to see here. Be careful, Grandma. You should be careful too. Okay? Yes, Grandma. Okay, come on, let's go. Let's get going. I truly believe that the Light will make all of my dreams a reality. We have arrived at the Light Training Center. Please get off the bus in an orderly manner. -We will take care of your luggage… -Welcome. See you later. Good morning. -I'm Santi, and this is my husband, Iwan. -Good morning. I'll be taking your picture. Look here, please. Look at the camera. So pretty. CLASS OF JANUARY 2030 REGISTERED Okay. You guys are free to explore. Event starts in 15 minutes. Use the map I've sent to you. Don't get lost. We will. Thank you. I can't believe we're here. This is it, guys. Looks so cool. Welcome, Salina. You are now officially a part of the Light family. From now on, we will do everything in our power to make your dreams and aspirations come true. Welcome to the Light… Welcome, Hafiz. By becoming a part of the Light, you don't need to worry about anything any more. Everyone here is equal. We do not discriminate between the rich and the poor. Welcome to the Light, Tara. Everyone is welcome here and that's regardless of their past. How much do they know about us? I bet they did a ton of research on every applicant before accepting anyone. So how come they still want me? Isn't that a good thing? Yeah, I supposed so. Did you know that 20 percent of all profits from my make up line gets donated to charities for people with disabilities? As such, you can join us and fight the good fight by swiping right, right now. Oh, he's so cute. How adorable. Excuse us. Ul, let's go. Oh, sorry. This is the reality your generation has to face. The aftermath of the pandemic from ten years ago. Plastic waste continues to contaminate our seas and our lands. It is polluted most of the planet's soil, making a large part of our land hazardous and unhabitable. At this rate, even our oceans will die. Global warming is already at its absolute peak. The quality of life of all living beings is critically below standards. The global birthrate has been drastically declining, as opposed to the global death rate which has been on the rise. Will the human race be able to survive? Only at the Light can you be pioneers of real and lasting change. Take charge of your future. And the future is now! Welcome everyone to the Light. Each of you came here with a clear purpose. And I know what it is. To train, to be fantastic. And to be the best version of yourself. Aren't those just lovely words to hear? All right. Now repeat after me. To train and to be the best version… of myself. Everybody on my cue. To train and to be the best version of myself! Whoo! However, in order for you to reach such a lofty goal, you would need a support system. Alone, you cannot have a sustainable future. You have to be married, dating is not enough. You need an ideal spouse. But there's no reason to fret. At the Light, we have prepared everything for you. Now, I'd like to present my support system with pride. The one who has always been by my side. My lovely wife. Sofia. Ooh. Around ten years ago, the prototype of the matchmaking system I invented led us to each other. Good morning, everyone and welcome. I know it took determination to come here. After all, you are at an age when your hormones are raging. But then again, this is the perfect time to train yourselves in both abstinence and control. Yes. Remember. Control. Control your carnal desires and resist the urge to date. Because soon all of you here will be married to someone we guarantee to be your perfect match. And rest assured, each of your future spouses is right here in this training center. But if any of you are still doubtful… Well, that's normal. Does anyone want to share their feelings? Please don't hesitate and raise your hand if you want to share. We're here to listen to you. Ah. Salina. Thank you for raising your hand. I'm guessing you three… are best friends? I notice that Tara, the one sitting in the middle has been looking down. Is there anything wrong? Tar? Excuse me. Tara? It's okay. I'm sorry. I just… I just… I don't think that I deserve to be here. Why is that? Because… I have been dating since… I was in sixth grade. I switched boyfriends around a lot. I'm not here to judge you, Tara. No one is. Can you tell me what your biggest wish is right now? Right now? If it's possible… I really want to apologize to… all of those that I've hurt. But that's not possible anymore. Shh. Okay. Whatever happened in your past… the only way you can move forward is to forgive yourself, Tara. Do you want to forgive yourself and move on? Mm-hmm. Okay. Tara needs our help. So I would like each and everyone in this room… to stand up and give her our support. We should send her some positive energy. Everybody, close your eyes. And then, raise your right hand and put it on your chest. Concentrate. Feel the rhythm of your heart as it beats against your chest. Now inhale… …and exhale. Get in touch with your heart and slowly whisper to it. Tell your heart that you will forgive yourself for all of your past mistakes. Let go. Whenever you're ready. You may open your eyes. Take your time. Okay. Start with a clean slate. Feel better? That's good. Salina. Thank you so much for being an excellent friend to Tara. Now I want to ask you a question. Will you be able to let everyone at the Light into your heart including me… and think of us as your new family? How do you feel? Feeling better? I've decided to move on. I only hope that in time, those who got hurt in that accident would find the heart to forgive me for what I've done. Your ex Andi was the one driving, not you. I know, but I was kissing him, that's why he lost control of the wheel. Tar… Just remember what Ali said to us earlier. We're staring with a clean slate. Now I feel relieved, Na. It makes me happy seeing you calm. Today, I feel so protected, it's like I have a dad again. Ali's future child is sure going to be very lucky. This is the first time that I haven't felt insecure. Whoever my match will be… I'm ready. Ah, you're so lucky to be the first to turn 17, Ul. It's going to be wonderful, Ul. Each of you have chosen and signed up for training programs in the fields you're most passionate about. We prepared the best mentors for you. Until you get married, you'll be staying in the girls' dormitory which will be supervised by Miss Nanik. You can think of her as a mother for the duration of your stay. I will now read to you the dorm's house rules. This is the first rule. Always keep your rooms clean and tidy. Our Esteemed Leader Ali Khan built these accommodations and facilities for us. It's our responsibility to maintain them. Second rule. Everyone is expected to get up and get ready at 5 a.m. Good morning, Tara, it's already 5:05. Third rule. There is one mandatory class for all members, regardless of their program. And that is home economics or household arts. Fourth rule. In order to protect you from lustful urges, it is strictly forbidden to meet with members of the opposite sex unless necessary for work. Finally, you can use our shuttle vans, but only if you need them to complete your assignments. And everyone is obligated to return to their dormitories by 8 p.m. You will only live here for a maximum of a year. That will be until you turn 17 and get married. That is all. After getting married, you will be asked to move and live independently in apartments built specially by the Light. And with this, you will become property owners, which is a rare privilege in these precarious times. Optimize the teachings of the Light, and spread them to your families, your friends and the world. Women activist groups are gathering signatures for a petition to raise the age in which teenagers are allowed to legally marry in the country. It is currently at 17 and they want it to be at 19. On the other hand, the Light, which is an educational institution that provides training for the youth led by the handsome and charismatic Ali Khan, has been successful in gathering a large number of signatures to maintain the previously set legal age for marriage at 17 years old. Have you notice how all the news outlets always use the words handsome and charismatic to describe you these days? Turn around, please. This is our third attempt. Let's hope it works this time. Okay. Stay still. You're almost there. Okay. Remember. This is a test for us. Our child is going to be perfect. My beauty troops. Today, our training will be about how should you present yourselves on social media as a person who's been reborn. Let's start by redefining beauty as something healthy and natural. In front of you are several of our products. Feel free to make captions and take photos as you will. The only thing I ask is that you include the hashtag BeautyAlaSofia. But before anything else, you would have to change all of your current profile pictures. Apart from that, you would have to delete all your pre-existing social media feeds. We want to start over with a clean slate. Tara. I know that you have the most followers out of everyone here. I'm guessing this is hard for you to do. It's okay. I'll create a new makeup line especially for girls like you with darker skin. Do you want to help me develop it? Seriously? It's an honor. I really wanna give you a hug right now, Sofia. You can't. Not here. It's confidential. Okay? Okay. Today we're going to the city to take shots for content. -After that, we'll come back here. -Good morning, everyone! -Good morning, sir! -Morning. Joko Liauw! I must have watched his documentary on the origins of the pandemic a thousand times. I'd like to welcome you to our media lab. I understand you have chosen to become the Light's content creators. Keep this in mind. The media is our strength and our power. And content, good content is our primary weapon. Now, I do believe the man next to me needs no introductions. Your job consists of creating content that can garner plenty of likes. The one who succeeds and getting the most likes, will be generously rewarded. He or she will get to work with me. In what I could only describe as a prestigious documentary project. -That's right. -That would be… as CD. Now what's a CD? Co-director. What do you have to do? That depends. If I'm not in the mood, then you would have to do the job in my stand. If I get lost or confused on how to direct some scenes, then you'd have to think for me. So this is about teamwork. Right. That's the most important thing. Because teamwork, however small, is the key in order to succeed. -Best of luck! -Thank you! Thank you! Do your best, everyone! Okay. So, listen Joko… You heard them. Let's go. Make teams of two. Once you've found your teammate, follow me. Come on, hurry. We don't have a lot of time. I'll do the editing. Is that all right? That's fine. I prefer filming. Let's go. All right, spread out. Be back in two hours. Okay? Make shots of any immoral behaviors. Like dating couples holding hands or girls wearing miniskirts. -Okay? -Okay. Got it. -All right, guys, get to it. Come on. -This is utterly ridiculous. Never mind. Let's do what we can. VERBAL ABUSE IS NOT TRIVIAL ISSUE Salina? Hi, do I know you? I was your senior in middle school. I can't believe you joined the Light. Uh, sorry, I'm busy with an assignment. Wait. Hang on a second. I managed to leave the Light. Don't believe their propaganda. Get out before it's too late. If you don't believe me, then see for yourself. Look about the Arya Teja online! Who are you? -Oh, sorry, it's for school assignment. -What do you want? -We're supposed to-- -Well, I really don't care. -This bitch was filming us. -Hey! This man is my husband! -I'm so sorry! No, forgive me! -Go, go screw yourself! You stupid bitch! You ill-mannered piece of shit. Show some respect. I'm sorry. Please stop. This needs your magic touch, Hafiz. Please make it work. I'm sorry. I couldn't get anything good. Relax. I can combine this with my footage. But didn't you only get shots of posters on the wall? Just wait. Good evening! You have anything new for me? Yes, we do. Surprise me. Go screw yourself, you stupid bitch. Show some respect. I'm so sorry. No, forgive me! You ill-mannered piece of shit! -I'm sorry, I'm sorry… -You stupid bitch. Go screw yourself. I don't know what to say. Fantastic, fantastic! This is what I'm saying. Little piece of advice. Artist should never be afraid to explore different styles. Improvise. Improvise. Just to let you know our admins will only upload the best of the best, the cream of the crop. Okay? Great. Keep working. Hey, Iwan. Perfect. All right, guys, improvise. Any new ideas? Thank you, Fiz. It's slippery here, Ul. Watch your step. The practice lounge is overflowing with almonds. But I just couldn't ing myself to eat all of them. Why not, Ul? You can eat all the almonds you want while you're here. But they cost like an arm and a leg in the city. You're right. Almonds are among the most popular items in my Light Mart. Oh. I think it will be more popular if we repackage them. If you have design ideas for the packaging, you should draw them. We can present them to The Esteemed later. We're allowed to do that? But of course. Oh, my husband ought our son with him. Oh, how nice, you get to come home with your husband and son. Oh, hello, you cute little thing. Hi there, honey. -What's his name, Reny? -Edy. Hello, baby Edy. Oh. You're so cute! Mm. -Oh, you. -Easy. You'll be a mother soon enough, Ul. I hope so. Bye. See you again. -Bye, Reny. -Bye. Take care. Can I sit here? Hello. I got you girls a present. Thank you, Tar. Are you sure you can give these away? Of course, I can. Besides, I'm the only trainee Sofia gave extra bottles to. Hey. Listen, I have a confession to make. The truth is, I feel so at home here already. And surprisingly, I don't miss dating. I knew it, Tar. And I love your new image on social media. Wait, I haven't seen it yet. A lot of people unfollowed me because of it. Some even bashed me for being part of the Light. But at the end of it all, I gained more followers. Just ignore them. There's bound to be haters trying to ing down the Light. That's right. Where is my boy genius? Welcome, Father. Oh. The house looks great. I really like what you've done with the place. Sofia. You have such good taste. Why thank you, Father. I can feel it, son. I'm certain your establishment will usher in an age of revolution. But we're still in the early stages. I've watched since you were a little boy. And I've always known you will become a great leader. It's way too soon to tell. We've only started planting the seeds after all. And soon you'll reap a plentiful harvest. Don't look down all the time. -You'll slip and fall. -Uh, wait a second, Hafiz. Our new video got uploaded!. I may have gained a little weight, but thankfully my husband doesn't mind. -Aww! -Yeah, that's nice. You should check out the comments too. You'll get a kick out of it. -Salina, let's go. -Sure, give me a sec. I'll be right there. So this is where you ran off to. That's sweet. I really wanna be in a relationship like theirs. Sign me up. How do I apply to the Light? Whoa, couple goals. Blessed this perfect couple. Just looking at them gives me joy and… You're having too much fun at the comments. -I love this! -Hafiz, please stop! Wait. Cameras? You're so mean. You almost gave me a heart attack! Na? Hey. -Stop being silly. -Hey. Ul, try not to look so gloomy. You should be more confident. Their concepts are quite interesting. You mean like this? The makeup's great. Tara did a good job. You look very pretty, Ulfah. It's all thanks to the make-up artist. Look, you're really glowing, Ul. There, that's it! Just like that, Ul! Hold that pose. Don't forget what you're going to say and action! -Hello. I am-- -Cut, cut, cut! Hafiz! Hey! Do you have an extra memory card? Mine's already full. Look, Ul. I bet that guy is Salina's match. But he looks like a nerd. How come you have to borrow a memory card from someone else, Na? I thought you always had an extra with you. I did ing one, but it's oken. Okay, Ulfah, stand by. I've been standing by for ages. Action. Hello, my name is Ulfah… Okay, everyone in the men sports team, it's our turn. If anybody needs help with their make-up, I'm here. Tara. Don't tempt yourself. Okay, stand by, Ulfah. And action! Hello, my name is Ulfah. In a few days, I'll be turning 17 and I'm ready for my match. There you are. I've been looking for you. I've been waiting here for you. Oh, I'm sorry about before, Ulfah and Tara haven't outgrown their habit of making fun of me. Oh, I don't mind. I had fun watching you girls tease and bully each other. I know right, they always make up all kinds of stuffs. Oh, so you're saying that was made up? Hmm? What if… what they said was actually true? What exactly do you mean? I see. So you miss dating that much, huh? -Hey, Fiz. -Hey. To be honest with you… I'm already 17 but… I've never had a girlfriend. I've always wanted to know how it feels like to date someone. There's nothing special about it. I've dated but I don't miss it. When's your birthday anyway? On the day I got here. Oh. Good for you then. You'll be getting married soon. Well, I'm just waiting for it. I mean, lots of guys here turns 17 a while back, yet they're still single. I suppose… they haven't found the right partner. Fiz, what you're doing is forbidden. I'm already sure that you're the one for me. How can you be so sure? I've known it… since I saw you step down from the bus to help that old lady. I'm certain because you are so sincere when you praised me on my editing. I know you come from a rich family… but you have empathy and ambition. You're not lazy. And you actually put effort into things. Don't you feel the same way I do, Na? That we're meant to be? I'm just afraid to expect too much happiness, Fiz. I'M ON THE WAY FOR TAKING SUNRISE'S STOCKS I'M ALREADY HERE WAITING YOU Let's set up here. Okay. What do you think is going on in the city? I don't care, it's better here. Do you miss living in the city at all? Well, I do miss my mother… my father. I imagined when we're married… and living at our own place, they're going to be so proud to see their son with a cool wife like you. Your imagination's running too wild. Just live in the present. Enjoy what's in front of you. I do enjoy it. Hopefully, your parents will be proud of me too. I'm sure my late father would have been proud. Once we move to the apartment, we won't get this view anymore. I'll make up for it. I'll be your view. It's actually near here. And I'll have to be there too. See you later. Where have you been, Salina? Did you get the candles? Yes, of course I did. Would you relax, Tar? -Can I have a little taste? -Hey. ACCORDING TO YOUR CHOSEN FIELD YOU WILL MANAGE THE LIGHT MART DESIGN AFTER GETTING MARRIED Oh, thank you, you guys are so sweet. Wait. Make a wish first. Okay. Yay! So how's the ide-to-be feeling? Are you nervous? More than that, I'm happy the day has come. Oh. By the way. Miss Nanik sent me an email. Take a look. This is how my store is going to look like. Awesome! So how does it feel? I mean, you're going to marry a guy you've never even met? I'm just worried about our first night together. Is it going to hurt? Don't worry about it, Ul. Let go. Relax. Can you guys sleepover? I mean, after all, it's my last night here. Please. Tar. -Tar, do you dare? -I'm sorry, I can't. I haven't succeeded in leaving Sofia with a good impression of me yet. So I can't afford any blemish on my record. Oh, yeah. -Shh. -Salina. You are being loud. She looks so beautiful. She looks so lovely. With the help of our matchmaking system, on this day, we can bear witnesses, two fated souls meet and tied the knot in this beautiful and most sacred place. Here we go. I thought he was gonna be paired with you, Na, Ulfah and Hafiz. We're going to cele ate their holy matrimony today. Hafiz. Do you accept Ulfah whom we've chosen to be your wife and vow to stay with her till death do you part? Trust me. She's the best match for you, Hafiz. I do, Esteemed Leader. -Hey, Na, are you okay? -Ulfah, do you accept Hafiz whom we've chosen to be your husband? and vow to stay with him till death do you part? -I do, Esteemed Leader. -Fantastic. By the power vested in me by the Light, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the ide, Hafiz. Congratulations. -Esteemed Leader. -Please don't mind me. Carry on. I came to tell you you've been chosen as Joko Liauw's co-director. It's for our special documentary film project. Wow, thank you so much. Thank you for this oppoturnity. You're most welcome. Here. No need to be so tense. You're pushing yourself. You shouldn't work too hard. You need to take care of yourself too. I hope it's all right to ask. Uh… What's the documentary about? About me. Oh. All right. Rest assured, I will not disappoint you, Esteemed Leader. Rest up. FIZ! I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN… There's not a lot of room upstairs. I don't think all my stuff would fit in there. Let's put them in the stock room. That should be fine until we get a bigger apartment once we have children. Yeah, sure. I'll head upstairs first. Aren't you going to help me put the products on the shelves? Tomorrow morning. When will your parents visit us? I wanna get to know them. Let's wait until we fix this place up. Na. Oh, my God, Na. They just uploaded the video from Hafiz and Ulfah's wedding. -It's so cool. Here. -I've already seen it. -I mean it. -I know. But still, Na, don't you wanna see how beautiful she was again? And even Hafiz was looking fine with his and new haircut, -and he's dashing in his suit. -Mm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Na, are you okay? -What are you trying to say, Tara? I'm trying to say that Ulfa and Hafiz don't seem to have anything in common. -As compared to you and him. -Jeez. We just work together, okay? Don't get the wrong idea. -Hey, chill. Don't get all defensive. -What are you saying? At any rate, I have to keep focus on a new project. It's a documentary on the life of The Esteemed Leader. Wow, that's amazing. Do me a favor. Find out who my match is. I gotta go. I need to pee. NA, MY MARRIAGE IS ONLY OBLIGATION. YOU MUST KNOW MY LOVE IS ONLY FOR YOU. I read the test results. They look good.

Ready, Ms. Sofia? -Let's wait for Al to come back. -Not a problem. Take the book with you. You can keep it. Okay. -Thank you, Esteemed Leader. -Sure, no problem. I want you to capture mine and Sofia's every moment. I want the audience to relate to us. -Doc, we'll be filming the procedure. -Yes? Is there a problem? Sure, go ahead. Just relax. We'll begin shortly. Face it towards me please. Now, slowly inhale. Control your eathing. Good. Keep it steady, Sofia. That's so sad. It's such a tragedy when parents lose their child. They overcame it together, Tara. This is all confidential, okay? People are trusting me with this project. Mm-hmm. It's almost 8 p.m. Oh, relax. They're still busy living the glam life like a king and his queen. My couple goals. I'M BACK TO WORK SOON, CAN'T WAIT TO BE WITH YOU IN EDITING LAB. PLEASE REPLY, NA. DELETE CHAT ARE YOU SURE? DELETE We have supplements for athletes. We also have a sustainable food chain, which is Light Mart. As well as an eco-friendly fashion line and of course, beauty products. And now, allow me to show you, the Beauty Lab of the Light. Ladies, today we're gonna conduct different tests with our latest product. -Okay, let's get to work. -Okay. At the Light, we have facilities for various endeavors. This is one of them. Good morning, everyone. I apologize for interrupting your work. I just wanna say Sofia sends her regards. But there's no need to worry, I'm sure you'll learn a lot from Tara here, right? Oh, wow. This is quite unusual. I never imagined our Esteemed Leader would be stopping by to grace us with his presence. All right, why don't we take a selfie. Is that all right? Okay. -Salina, you should join us. -No, thanks. -Na. -Come on. Don't just stand there. Come here, join the fun. Let's take a photo with everybody. Come closer. Okay. Hey, Santi, get in here. Okay, a little closer, please. Just a bit. Ready. One, two… and three. Hey. Na? Can I preview your cut? Just relax. We'll begin it shortly. Now, slowly inhale. -Control your eathing. -There are no interviews yet. But I'm sure it will turn out great. I'm quite surprised. I wasn't expecting this. Good job. I'm taking a eak. Wow, the interior's so cute, Ul. -Very Ulfah, right? -Hey, guys! Mm. -Sali. -Hey, Ul. First things first. Have you done it already? It's awesome, right? It's… it hurts a bit at first. But Hafiz was gentle, and he turned out to be sweet. Watch over him? You're together a lot at work. I don't understand. He keeps skipping lunch at work. It's so unhealthy. -Oh. -Please remind him to eat. All right, no problem. Oh, how's the documentary going? You're amazing. You get to work on such an important project. Dreams come true, Ul. I get to tag along on all of the leader's activities. It's exhausting but very rewarding. But you know what… something felt off about him yesterday… Really? Why? What happened? The leader touched me. He caressed my cheek. Did you manage to get that on camera, Na? He couldn't keep his hands to himself. Oh, come on, Tar, he was just being attentive. He's harmless. Don't overreact. Come on. Let's just shoot. Are you ready? Smile, Ul. And action! Chief Ali, Sofia, congratulations. I heard you're expecting. Thank you, Endru. But I hope you'll keep this to yourself for now. It's still early. We don't want to jinx it. Oh. Noted, ma'am. All right. Looks good. Okay. So are there any other couples we could send off to get married? Miss Nanik. Diana and Doni. Diana is very skilled when it comes to sewing but sadly, she can't draw. Doni is a talented artist. He draws comics. I think they're compatible. They'll do well together. -They'll be very productive. -Agreed. Who do we have next? Tara's supposed to be next, but it's going to be difficult to find a match for her. She's a good asset for us. She's influential with lots of followers. I think Tara is too progressive for someone her age. On her own, she was able to create a digital marketing plan for our Sofia Make-up line. I don't think we have anyone here who would be a good match for her. Endru? How about taking a second wife? No. I can't do that to my wife, Chief. Oh, come on. Don't you want to have more children? -Tara can-- -Al. Endru's wife is battling cancer, don't you remember? Oh. Sorry, I forgot. Dru. It's okay, Chief. Uh, for the time being, how about we focus on Diana's wedding first? Finding Tara's match can wait. What did you shoot today? Their plans for the next wedding. Is it from my batch? Who is it? It was uncomfortable. I didn't expect… Ali to talk about polygamy like it was nothing. You're kidding me. You mean, it's possible to match us with the guy who's already married? -Yeah. -I can't believe it. Where's the file? Come on, show it to me. I already sent it for editing. I don't have a good feeling about this. That's why you should always keep a copy. You should bend the rule sometimes, Na. I know, I know. Na, I understand if you want to have your space. And I hope you'll still consider me as a friend and that would be good enough for me. You have to be careful. Don't forget to delete all of our chats and emails. Thanks for everything. DON'T WORRY, I ALWAYS DELETE ALL. WE'RE WRONG FOR HOPING TOO MUCH. I WILL EDIT MY FILM MYSELF. Whenever I come here, I always feel like I'm in some paradise. Hasn't it been a while since I last visited? -Indeed, it has, sir. -Yes. I think I've been too busy working for my constituents. I understand, sir. You are a busy man after all. But if you ever feel tired, like you have to recharge, or if ever you just need a refreshing change of scenery, for example, this place is always open for you, sir. Thank you, Ali. Without you, Mr. Frans, none of this would have ever been possible. Back when everyone else was skeptical… you, sir, were the only one ave enough to invest. Ali. I never expected anything in return. But now, I need a favor from you. Please find a suitable wife for one of my sons… Aditya. He's getting old. He's already 25 years old and I think that it's time for him to settle down. I might have the perfect solution. Tara. Tara. -Mm. -Wake up, Tara. Go and shower. Why? There's still five minutes left before five. You have to prepare early because you'll be having eakfast with the Esteemed Leader, Sofia, and your future husband. Since when did we start having this eakfast blind date thingy, Ms. Nanik? It's a new thing. We're only doing this because we found you a match. What's that about? Na! Maybe he's not a member of the Light. My bad karma keeps haunting me wherever I go even now that I'm here. How much more must I repent for it to leave me alone? Stop that. Don't be a drama queen. Just go meet him first. Okay? It was an amazing experience. All in all, it was tough, and we had to work hard to get through it. We'll leave you guys to it. Take advantage of this opportunity to get to know each other better. Tara, Aditya, I just know you two will become a special couple. I'm grateful for all of this. Thank you so much. Enjoy. HOW? FINALLY GOOD KARMA, MY FUTURE HUSBAND IS HANDSOME LIKE A MOVIE STAR. -So, Tara. -Yeah? Tell me about yourself. I am so glad they got together. All I have to do now is make Tara the spokesperson for my make-up. With this, our ties with Mr. Frans will become stronger. I've always known your gut is never wrong. -Of course. -Hey, careful. I want you to slow down, Sofia. And from now on, I don't want you to take on too much work. No problem. Tara will help us. UL, FINALLY SOF AND ALI GOT THE BEST MATCH FOR ME I MISS YOU, UL… READ THIS! HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY FOR ME. RICH, YOUNG, HANDSOME ENTREPRENEUR ADITYA FRANS PROFILE BY JAFAR KURSIDIN Hey. Hey. How was work? Did anything good happen? Nah. It's the same as usual. Don't you wanna know how my day went? Oh, yeah. How was it? I've been feeling sick all day. And now I can't stand your smell, Fiz. Will you take a shower? Are you so hungry, it can't wait? You poor thing. Thank you so much, Ali. Tara's a perfect fit or Aditya. This is for you. -The token of my appreciation. -Mr. Frans, there's no need. Please just think of it as a returning the favor to you. Ali, no matter the situation, cash is always important. Try to imagine a car, okay? This car represents your ambition. But it doesn't have any fuel. Can the car go without fuel? This cash right here can be your fuel. I'm sure Tara will not disappoint you. That's great. Well, we should go and greet our guests. Sofia, what the hell is Salina doing here? -Okay, I'll handle her. -Do it now! Salina. Yes? Delete the footage you shot just now. -I don't understand. Is something wrong? -Delete it now. Your only test today is to focus on Tara and Aditya. Not on us. Yes, ma'am. Na? Hello! Ulfah? Looking gorgeous. You look so different. Let's go congratulate Tar. -How are you, Ul? -Thank you for coming. I'm finding out married life isn't as easy as it seems. I know I shouldn't be saying this after everything. It's just that I don't think Hafiz is the one for me. Look, UI, it's probably not as bad as you think. You're just getting to know each other. It takes time. You'll get the hang of it soon. You're right. There's nothing to complain about. Actually, I have great news for you. Really? What is it? I'll tell you when we're with Tara. Look at her. Isn't she the luckiest? I mean, look at him. You have to admit Aditya is so hot. You know his father is the Light's major donor. He's a businessman and a politician. I think he's a powerful man. Congrats to the newlyweds. -Hi. -You look stunning. Mm. Finally, dreams do come true. Mine did too, Tar. I'm finally pregnant. Oh my god, Ul. How could you? It's my wedding day. And you're stealing my thunder. Congrats. I'm so happy for both of you. Hey, Adit. -Hon. -Hey, we're going. -Thank you for having us. -Yes? I'd like to introduce you to my dear childhood friends. Ulfah and Salina. -Thank you for coming. -Congrats. -Congrats. -Thank you so much. -We'd better head on. -Wait. Don't go home yet. Congrats, Tara. I'll see you later. -Ul. Have you congratulated her? -Hafiz. It took you a while to get here. -Sorry. -Come on. -The line was long. -Na. Where are you going? I still have work to do. I'm fine. -You go ahead. -All right. Do you wanna go home? NA, I JUST REALIZED I BECOME A DAD SOON. ULFAH'S BELLY IS GETTING BIG. I MISS EDITING WITH YOU, HOPE YOU GET THE BEST MATCH. Here. It's your clip-on mic. Can you put it on me? Okay. So where do you wanna start? Uh, I have a list of questions. First off, can you… Um, sorry. Relax. Relax. Uh… -Many kids my age… -Salina. Oh, right. Ready? I think teenagers… Um… specifically those in my generation would be more interested in the details of the love story before the Esteemed Leader and Sofia got married. There's no such story. Our love story only began after we got married. So when did the Esteemed Leader realized that Sofia was the one you were meant to spend your life with? When I was starting out, I presented a prototype of the matchmaking system that I developed to as many of my fellow student activists as I possibly could. Every one of them laughed at my ideas and made fun of me. But Sofia took me seriously. And look… at where we are now. Wow. Okay. Um… Now for the next question. Sorry. Is it all right if we talk about the funding of the Light? Funding? Salina. Instead of a boring subject like funding, why don't we talk about the things that define and shape our humanity? Such as the traumatic events we've experienced. All right. The reason why I believe everyone should have a partner they could build a family with… and that no one should be allowed to postpone or refuse the arrival of children in their lives… is because of Rama. He was our firstborn child. Living in the city after the pandemic, with all the pollution, the diseases, Rama wasn't able to survive. Meanwhile, the world completely neglected the right of babies to live. That irony urged me to take action. I totally understand how you feel, Esteemed Leader. Only those who had suffered loss would understand. Sofia! Sof! Sof! -I'm bleeding, Al. Ahh. -It's okay. It's okay. Let's go to the hospital right now. -No. -Sofia. I don't have the energy. I already called the doctor. Excuse me. Uh, is there anything I can do to help? Salina! Sorry. Please give us some privacy. Al, it's about time you listen to what I've been telling you. Our legacy can't end here. -Not like this. -Sofia, please don't go there. Don't think about that right now. We have bigger problems. -Look, Al-- -You need to recover. That's what matters. -But you have to start-- -Sofia. -Miss Sofia. -Please, doctor. Give us a moment. -Doc, my wife-- -Al, Al! When it comes to this, the choice is mine. Salina? Are you already asleep? Mm-hmm. What's wrong? It's not even 8 p.m. Sorry, ma'am. I just feel so exhausted today. Listen to me. I can imagine how traumatic it must be to witness the tragedy that struck the Esteemed Leader and Sofia. We are all mourning their loss. Just know that I'm always here for you. Especially since both your best friends are now married and can't spend as much time with you. You can talk to me. I just miss everyone so much. I miss Ulfah, Tara… and I feel sorry about what happened to Sofia. I know. Our poor Sofia. But you know as an aspiring filmmaker, you have to be strong and ready to face anything that can befall your subject no matter how difficult. I have to be strong. Our Esteemed Leader is very proud of you, Salina. And so is Mr. Joko. Honey, you are our pride here at the Light. Hello, hon. Hey. Honey. This is the new ad for Sofia's make-up line. It's going to be uploaded tomorrow, do you like it? It's good. It looks great. -Hon, can we not sleep yet? -What's the matter, Tar? Aren't we shooting for the Light tomorrow? We have to sleep. But your mom keeps reminding me that… I have to get pregnant soon. Don't worry about her, she's typically like that. Relax. Sofia. I hope you're feeling better. I'm fine, Salina. We shouldn't be talking about my miscarriage here. Focus on what you have to do for the documentary on the Esteemed Leader. And for now, what I want you to do is make a good video for Tara. -Okay? -Sure. Welcome, newlyweds! Thank you for coming! -Aww! -They're so sweet. They look good together, don't they? I consider it a great honor to be able to work in something I'm passionate about. Here in Sofia Make-up. I'm also proud to have a loving husband who supports me in my endeavors. I'm delighted to accompany my wife on her first day back at work. Work hard, girls, and you'll be just like them. If you also dedicate yourselves, and put it to hard work, somewhere down the line, it will all pay off. I am now a changed woman but for the better. I'm ready. -Uh… -How do you want it to do? Wait, Tara. Uh, hold on a second. -I'll go along with anything. -Tara, please, just wait. -Good evening, boss. -Leo. How do you want it done? -Hon? -You don't have to be scared. -I'll be watching over you. -No. -It's okay. -No. No. It's okay, Tar! -Tar, it's okay! -Ah! Hon! It's okay. It's okay. -Just relax. -Don't resist. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! What did you do? Are you crazy? Are you fucking mad? Leo! No! -No. I think you killed him. -I hate you! -Fuck! -Fucking bastard! Tar, don't! Tar! Tara, open up! I think he's dead! What should we do? Good evening. Hi, Salina. We're not going to shoot today. Oh, I see. Oh, okay then. Look at you. You're not taking care of yourself. You're a mess. I'm sorry. It's because all I had on my schedule today was editing. So… Okay. I believe you're turning 17 soon, right? Yes, ma'am. And… just so you know, Salina. You're the only member we summoned here… …before they're 17. Yes. Only you. Have I done something wrong? Welcome to our little family. Will you marry us? Salina? Salina? Soon all of you here will be married to someone we guarantee to be your perfect match. When they were taking the sonogram, our baby hid. Probably like Hafiz. -He's very shy. -Probably shy just like dad. I'm strong enough to avoid the poison of romance. The same goes for my husband. We accepted each other. And rest assured, each of your future spouses is right here in this training center. Tara. Please, Tara, open up. Tara, listen. We can talk about it. Just open up, Tara. Tara, please! ARYA TEJA, YEAR 2028 OUR SON NEVER COME BACK FROM TL Our son joined the Light. He got in without our consent. His name is Arya Teja, he's been missing since 2028. Ever since then, we haven't been able to contact him. Ah. Shit. Shit. Shit. THOSE WHO SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPED FROM TL I somehow survived escaping from the Light. But when I got out, I still have friends inside, and until now I haven't received any news about where they are, how they're doing. Oh, shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Uh-huh. Okay. I see. Na. What is it, Na? Tara, Tara. I'm planning to escape from the Light, Tara. But we have to leave together. Na… -I… -I sent you a few articles. Check your email. Okay? Bring your car tomorrow before 12. Meet me at Ulfah's Light Mart. Okay? -Okay. -Okay. I'll have the payment ready. Thanks. Tara, it's been taken care of. Look, he's not dead. Don't be afraid, Tara. Just please open the door. Okay. Testing, testing. Stay tuned. I have more stories for you. Tar! Tara! Listen, I'm sorry, okay? You forgot this. You can't get in without it. It doesn't matter. Everyone already knows I'm your wife. They'll let me in if I want. Tara, is everything all right between us? Don't worry about it. Just forget it. Okay, drive safe. Na, why didn't you tell me you were coming this early? I emailed you a link. I guess you haven't seen it yet. Let's talk there. What's the matter? Ul, you know my birthday is coming up soon, right? Yes, I've been praying for you. Sofia and Ali… …they want to marry me off by then. -Ali has asked me to be his second wife. -Huh? -What the fuck? -They're insane. -Ul, I have to get out of here… -Yes, yes, I know. It is crazy. -…before that happen. -Just calm down, Na. Listen, you have to come with me. Trust me, you have to. Read the emails I sent you. It's about a former member who escaped. But his friends who were still inside suddenly went missing. I don't want to leave by myself, Ul. It's going to put both you and Tara at risk. They went missing? Please, Ul. -Wait, I'm getting dizzy. -Okay. Fiz, you know where my vitamins are? -Uh… -Have you seen them? They're at the back. Na, I'm sorry. I'll be back, okay? What was that, Na? They're going to make you his second wife? Huh? Motherfuckers! -I'll kill them! This is unacceptable! -Please, please calm down. Not so loud. Be quiet. Look, if you want to help me, edit out this documentary. Our own version. Okay? Forget about all that. It doesn't matter right now. Forget it, forget it! Na! Forget about all that. Never mind. We're gonna leave all of this behind together. I'm leaving with you. Period. Okay? What's this? What? What's going on, Hafiz? -Ul, listen, I can explain. -Ulfah, Salina and I love each other. -What the fuck, Fiz? Shut up! -Na? Ul, that was long before you got married. -It's over now. Please believe me. -Ulfa. Ulfa. You're a nice person, but you should know. -I don't feel the same way about you. -Shut up! Stop it! Stop it, Fiz! -Ul, please, you have to believe me. -Listen to me. Please, Ulfah. -Leave me alone! -Please. Ulfah, listen to me. -It was way before you were married. -Ulfah, you're a good person. -But you need to know the truth. -Leave me alone! Get the fuck out of here! Leave me and my baby alone! Get out! Get out! Ul, I'm so sorry, please hear me out! How could you? You're my best friend! Yes, I know, Ul, but we really have to leave! Ul! Ul! Salina, why don't you take a little eak from work. Let's have unch at the gazebo. Tara is here too. We'll wait for you. That's it? That's all you came here to say? Let me remind you, it's a wife's duty to serve her husband. But, Sofia, I never imagine that… serving my husband would include doing something like that. Your husband is Aditya. An heir to a big conglomeration. You know that, right? But what he did to me can be considered as domestic violence. You cannot tell anyone about your husband's flaws. But you're not just anyone, Sofia. Please hear me out. Help me. I don't want anything like this to happen again. No, you hear me. It's our role as wives to support our husbands, and it's our right to benefit from their power. It's all right, just make up with your husband, okay? I can't go back in there. I'm even traumatized of my own bed. I want to file a police report. Do you really think they're going to believe you? It's your word against his. Tara. You should be grateful, you know that. Although we try, we couldn't find a good match for you here. But Aditya… he was willing to accept you as his wife in spite of your wild dating history. I hate you, you fucking bitch! Okay. I guess I still have a lot to learn about gratitude. Well, just think of this as part of a long process. A process that would allow you to atone for all the sins you've committed in the past. Okay? NA, HURRY UP! I'VE BEEN WITH SOF, I LOST MY MIND… I'LL JUST SMACK THIS DRIVER, AND WE CAN ESCAPED Na? -Don't make a fuss. -What's going on? -You're coming with me. -Where are you taking me? -But, sir, why are you doing this? -Shut up. Salina. Move over, Tara. Would you? -Hello. -Hi. We've been waiting. Let's eat together. -We're escaping tonight. -How's Ulfah doing? She must be so happy since she is about to have a baby. You haven't told her anything yet, have you? Oh, Ulfah? She's well. She's as energetic as always. All right, so who's gonna eak the news to Tara? Oh. I think you should do it. Okay. So then… let me read out the rundown for Salina and Ali's wedding ceremony. -What the fuck? -You'll walk down the aisle to the altar, and the screen showing our matchmaking system will come out and do the usual shuffling. And surprise. The Esteemed Leader's photo will pop up next to yours and the crowd will be amazed. So the system can be manipulated? Of course, all this is just for show. A show. I can tinker with the system how ever I want to. What is it, Endru? Um… We have a situation, ma'am. Well, what kind? We received information about Ulfah. Salina was just there and said she was fine. She has evidence that her husband's been unfaithful. You've got to be kidding me. Tara. Go ahead and give Salina the most special facial treatment. I'm going to handle this first. Okay? Salina, dinner tonight at our place, okay? These stupid kids. No, sir. Have mercy, please! -Please, sir. -Stop. Please don't! He's finally confessed, ma'am. And we got evidence. Letters from before his marriage. Well, in accordance to our protocols, we have to investigate further. And make sure no other member of the Light is involved. Understood, ma'am. Ma'am, the wife is here. -Ulfah. -Sofia. You have to take care of your health and your baby's. That's what matters most. Mm-hmm. Maybe it's because of the hormones that… -I overreacted. -Yes, yes. I understand completely. Is it possible to revoke the charges? The two of you need to talk first, okay? You stay here, watch over her. What have I done? It's okay, it's okay, it's not your fault. -It's not your fault. -This is wrong, Tara. I should be running away. Why am I doing this shit? No, stop it. Don't do it now. Don't take it off. Where are you keeping the footage? It's there in the bag. My god, it's not safe to stash it all in one bag. Listen. Go sneak into the basement first. Here, take my car keys. Car's at B2. I'll catch up with you. Uh. Uh… And Ulfah? -How about Ulfah? -We'll pick her off at her apartment. The Light doesn't say, who Hafiz is having an affair with. -Tara. -Yes, ma'am? Why don't you give Salina the hair treatment package as well? Wow, lucky her, she's getting the full-service today. I can call in the other girls if you need help. It's a chance for them to learn. I can handle this. They still have class anyway. Okay. Ma'am. Ma'am. Where are you taking those, Ms. Nanik? To class. But aren't we supposed to do skincare today? That box only has face powder in it. You're gonna need these cleansers for the class demo instead. My goodness, I really am getting old. Thank you, dear. Please forgive me, Ulfah. Ulfah. The whole time we were married, I try with all my might to be faithful. I'm sorry, I made the situation worse. Ulfah. Ulfah. I don't have enough strength. But you three still have a chance to get out. Fiz… no one in the world deserves to be treated like this. No one should be locked up in a place like this just because they fell in love. Tar. Ul? I was so angry, I didn't know what else to do. But I have the charges against Hafiz revoked. It's okay. Ul. Please believe me, I'm truly sorry. But we have to leave all this behind. Together as always. I'd rather raise my child alone instead of forcing myself to stay with a husband who's not in love with me. You're not gonna be alone, Ul. You're still gonna have us. But I don't want you to give up your perfect married life with Aditya, just because we want to leave. She's right, Tara, you don't need to worry. Just drop us off somewhere in the city. I'm going with you. I want out. I say to hell with Aditya, to hell with the Light. God, it's such a waste of time handling the affairs of some jealous at. It's normal, Ulfah's pregnant. It's just the hormones talking, it's all good. Everything is under control, Al. Okay. Since you've gotta handle on it, let's just focus on my wedding ceremony. The rundown still the same? It is. As for the one who will be officiating, how about Endru? I think he's perfect for it. Mm. Yes, I think so too. Okay. Salina? Are you done with the treatment? Oh. No. Not yet, ma'am. I just went out to use the toilet. -To the apartment, please. -All right. All good, ma'am. What do we have tonight? Are we still having dinner with Salina? Of course, we are. I've already texted her. Ask Miss Nanik to fetch her. We have to stay down, guys. Wait until we reach the highway. Tar, can you please slow down? The road's too bumpy, my tummy hurts. Okay, I'll try to slow down, Ulfa. I'm sorry, girls, I can't bear it anymore. It hurts too much. The exercises for eathing. You still remember them, right? What happened? -Are you okay, Ulfa? -I think I peed myself. I peed. I'm all wet. I'm so sorry, grandma! Are you hurt anywhere? -No, I'm good. -We're so sorry, grandma! Ulfah's peed her pants. She did? I'm all wet. Remember what they said in class about the water eaking before going into labor? It seems we meet again, dear. I think about seven months, right? She's seven months pregnant. Oh. Do you girls know there's a belief saying a baby born during the seventh month of pregnancy ings with it a revelation? What is she talking about? Listen, she's about to give birth. We must help her. Come on. -Follow me. -I can't hold it in anymore! Ul? Ulfah? Just eathe. Keep eathing. You can do it. -Breathe. -Now, push again, child. Push. -Yes, Miss Nanik? -Salina is not in her room. I've tried looking for her everywhere but I can't find her. Miss Nanik, check with the security now. -I said now. -Yes, sir. Has anyone seen Salina? She might be in the restroom, ma'am. Push, Ul. You can do it. -You can do it! -I'm pushing, Na! -You don't know how much this hurts! -Okay. -I'm sorry, Ul. -There, there. Come on. Right, we're almost there. One last push. All right, that's it. You take a look. You have a beautiful baby girl. Now cut the umbilical cord. You did it, Ul. There you go, dear. Careful. You must take this baby to the hospital. You did it, Ul. Welcome to the world, baby. Baby Padma. Her name is Padma. Damn that spoiled at! She escaped during her treatment! I can't do this anymore. How the hell could we let ourselves be fooled by these ats? Where the hell was our surveillance team when this was all going on? Those goddamn fucking ats! Look at that. Every one of them, they're all a bunch of idiots. What the… I'm comfortable enough. Thank you, Tar. Take a picture of Padma and send it to Hafiz. What should I write? Anything to cheer him up. THIS IS BABY PADMA, SHE WAS BORN EARLY, STRONG, HEALTHY, AND WE'RE OKAY. Look. Have you seen this already? We've tracked their GPS and it seemed they've stopped. They're not too far away from here. Shall I ask security to search for their location? Security, you should've done that ages ago, Ms. Nanik! Yes, sir. Take Hafiz up from his mini mart. He has to be sacrificed. Made an example of him. Coordinate with the security team at the apartments. This is just like that incident two years ago! Two years ago, I would have gotten rid of those punks easily. But you can't do that to these girls. Ulfah is carrying a baby. And Tara is the wife of Aditya. What will happen to our relationship with Mr. Frans? -And tomorrow's your wedding day! -I am not going to marry a spoiled traitor, so don't you dare force me! Fiz, thank you for coming into my life and reminding me about what's most important. I will forever cherish the moments we spent together. But now, we need you to apply your magic touch in editing. Okay, I've already sent the files and uploaded the first video. Testing, testing. I'm Salina, in a few days, I'll be turning 17. This is my room at the Light. I've made a mistake joining them. It was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. -Stay tuned. I got more stories for you. -That bitch! @ME_ I CAN HACK THEIR FUND SOURCES Sof, the authorities could track our funds and assets with this. Of course, all this is just for show. I can tinker with the system how ever I want to. I think you'd better call our lawyer now, Sof. You know. I never did approve of the making of that narcissistic documentary of yours. -All right. -Yeah? Did you check upstairs? I have no regrets about anything. At least I've experienced what it's like to fall in love. It taught me to be fearless. I've also understood heart eak and it developed my intuition. Padma. It's okay. What did the grandma say earlier? Something about a message? Oh. Uh… She said that in ancient times people believe that babies born at seven months ing along a message with them, like a revelation. It's a message for her mom and aunties to stick together and love each other no matter what happens. How do you feel right now, Ul? Giving birth must have hurt like crazy. Yeah, it hurts everywhere. But I feel like I've gained a superpower. Tara and I can totally relate when Ulfah's mentioned her superpower. As girls, we were trained not to be proud of our strength and to be ave.

It's impossible not to think about that, Nadia! How do you not think about that? How!? It's so frustrating! You fly often. It will be easy for you, right! Which part is easy? You always say like this. Every time we talk, you never gave me a solution. Because you always think, it's all that easy, easy and easy! It's not that easy, Nadia! As you know. Sorry, my bad.

Ember Skyline blush in red My plane's wheels are touching the runaway I came out of my mind I fly in the sky I em ace the limitless sight Imagining your face smiling at me Yearning in my heart is unbearable Receive me love, come back to you Pray for me always, I will fulfill my duty Though it flies high, to the end of the lands Like an eagle I will be back I will be back You so great, Gadhing! - Hello, Mom. - Gadhing... Amen. He has gone to a better place. Sure, Uncle. Mom. You're still awake? Do you know a strory about this necklace? The first time you played paragliding with your uncle Panji. At that moment, your father tried to ing you home. At the same time he couldn't. But I could ing you home, and he gave me this. Enough, Mom. He wasn't worth enough to keep in mind. He has left us. No matter how hard you fool yourself. The hatred will separate us, if we don't let it go. You had your father, but now he passed away. And way before he died, he abandoned us! He stopped being my husband, but he never stopped being your father. You always assumed you stopped being his son. I want you to keep this neckless. Then you can always remember, how special he was. Forgive him. Don't hold grudges. - Jupiter flight check in. - Jupiter two, three, four. Jupiter flight box formation, box formation, go. In here. We are taught to suppress our emotions, Nad. You can see. Everything is organised. Strictly regulated. Neat. Can't do anything as you want. Ruslan, you too close, to the plane in front of you. No, it was correct. It can be seen here, that you are too close. Just shut up. Off first. How is it supposed to be? Ruslan has been wrong twice. His plane was too close to mine. It's called a formation. The point is to be close. Stop. - Ruslan. - Yes, Sir! Your positioning is wrong, you are too close! - Ajeng, explain it properly. - Yes, Sir! Ruslan's plane should be 1 plane away from the plane in front of it. Nice, that's correct. But I don't know why lately I feel like I was slowly ruin everything that I had. I've been in that situation many time. Life is just like that, right? Want to keep it, want to be hung. Some difficulties always exist. That is a complement to life. But, it depend on us, get up and reorganize life again. Just like that one. Neat. Commander! - Gadhing Baskara. - Yogi Hartanto. How are you, o? - I'm fine, and how are you, o? - I'm good. So amazing! - 4 years, Man! - Holy crap! Is already 4 years. How was the sky wolves transition? Awesome! Just what we had promised before, be the best. Yeah! Let me introduce you, this is Nadia. - Nadia. - Yogi. Is your wife? - She is a friend. - No, we're not together. Yeah, I hope you two always be friends. THE KABUBED REPUBLIC It is dangerous to let her gain so much data on us! If you want to stay and live here, you have to finish her. I'm telling you, Mr. Rudi. What I have said when you first contacted me was the terms of our agreement with you. So, it's non negotiable. It's 20 million dollars. You will be getting additional support coming your way is all I can tell you when I've already know the level of the difficulty. No more tomorrow. Sorry to say. If you don't like my deal, I will take my business elsewhere. Well, how do I know that you can be trusted? Trust is expensive. So, you better trust me. Because I also can only trust in those who can give me what I want. So, the question is are you trustworthy? OUTER ISLAND OF INDONESIA - Boss. - Hello, boss. You seem very eager to see me, Sir? - Just like this, Sir. - Call, Boss Man! I mean Boss Man. As we talked it yesterday, I come here to represented my boss, who happened to be unavailable because he has to attand some bussines... Mr. Rudi. I'll get confused. When I hear someone talking nonsense. What you mean, You want to tell me that you and your boss have a job for us. - That's is right, Boss Man. - This is what I hate about. An alliance should be based on mutual respect. It's a symbiosis mutualism. But not only for someone who has money or resources. - That was too feudalist. - What I meant here is... Don't think that we here needed a job. - No. not at all... - Get it through you head. You need us who live in this village! Just get to the point. What can you do for my people? This's whats called cooperation. - What's the problem? - Okay. He is my ears, my eyes, my leg and my left hand. I have some data, that this girl is here. For that reason, we need you to finish her. Because if she leaves this country. We be devastated! And we couldn't be able to help your people, Boss Man! Sir, you already understand about symbiosis mutualism. Hi, Gad. Since when you called me Gad? I feel uncomfortable with God, Nadia. This because you don't like being called Dhing. When I called you Dhing, you will said Do you think I am cruel?!. Now I called you, Gad, it's also wrong. Okay fine! I'll go home. Going home? What do you mean? Why don't you open your window. Hurry up! In a front? Hi.. Why you here? Let's go out, I'm starving! - Why don't you come in first? - If I go in, I'll see uncle Panji. If I see uncle Panji, at this hours, It's not polite, Nadia. Come on. Hurry up! Let's go! I'll count backward, okay! - 30 seconds, okay! - Alright, just a second. Okay. - Do you want sugar or not? - Just a little bit. Just a little bit. - Gadhing, how are you? - Oh my God, Mrs. Hari. - How are you, Mrs. Hari? - I'm fine thank you. - How about Mr. Hari? - Mr. Hari fine, thank you. - Long time no see, right? - Yes, that's right. - For how long? - Too long, the last time. I was here with Ujel and Hamka. That's right. Where are Ujel and Hamka now? Ujel and Hamka. Ujel right now has open the coto Makassar resto. Then, Hamka become a model. Thank God. Were do you serve now? In Madiun. - Madiun?! So great. - Yes. - Ma'am, as usual, please. - Yes. No sugar, right. He is no sugar, please. Pick up memories using a bicycle, so no one can see. Dhing, Is this really Indonesian Air Force's twitter? Yes, that right! See, it verified. This is really Indonesian Air Force's Twitter. Why, is it because of the language? Just like joking around? That is on purpose. So that there is no boundries with the society, and their followers. Like Indonesian Air Force motto, Faraway in the sky, but still close to the heart. I wasn't the only me who starving. Why are you so quite? I want to talk to you but I'm afraid you're getting upset. What is it? What? About what?? I'm starting to pissed off, so what? Nothing, I just want to say later when you are already on duty, don't forget to your mother. Yes, Ma'am! Anything else? while it's free? I happen to be willing to listen It well. No, that's all. Enough for your attention it will expire if too much. - Bye bye. - Bye bye. - Nad. - Yes. - Tomorrow, I'll drive you? - Where are we going? You'll know, just go inside! - Gadhing! - Uncle. Come here, let me introduce you. He is your senior too. Okay. He is... - Fajar. - Gadhing. He was known by his fellow officers as The Legend. Every time he appeared in the sky When playing dogfight all opponents would run away. Everyone were scared. Because he was known as The one and only Red Wolf That was then with Panji, when we were still flying in the air force. - We are here now and we're flying. - Yes, Sir! Dhing, you have to try flying with paragliding. Because flying with paragliding, you can understand the nature. The wind and the hill. - You fling without an engine. - Yes, Sir. That'll make your feeling stronger. Try it! - Do you want to try it?? - Sure, Uncle. Nadia, Gadhing would like to fly, can you prepare another glider, - Let's go there. - Ask permission, Sir! - Use your feeling when you fly. - Yes, Sir. - You really want to fly? - Of course. - Fly alone? - Of course not. I'll fly with you. If your talking about flying an aeroplane then the best there is. But with this I need your help please, Senior! Maybe you want to be alone But alone is not for sure, You forget that I care I know that you want to run Further than this, but together we'll be even more Hold my hand Count 1,2,3 and close your eyes Imagine what we want is there Dhing, I want to teach you about one of the flying techniques. Which might help you later. This is called soaring. Soaring's one of the flying techniques that maintain altitude along the mountain ridge or big hill. To utilize the rising air created by the ridge to help you stay airborne. This one is very important That the pilot makes a change of direction during the soaring so, they don't fly near the hill, and avoid the risk of hitting the ridge. If you fly too close to the mountain then you should turn away from the ridge. And now, let's soar like an eagle. Count 1,2,3 and close your eyes Imagine what we want is there From the first, every body know. I also knew. That Uncle Panji was one of the best pilotes. And the best instructors. But I just realised today, that his daughter, is just as good as her father. Count 1,2,3 and close your eyes Come on in, Sam. Please, have a sit. Well, Sam. I just got an order. That commander ask you, to standby on the west area. - You are Wingman Lion. - Yes, Sir. Around 17:00, we leave. And you will be transferred there for a week. Please, can you help me coordinate it. If you meet any resistance report it straight away. - Yes, Sir. - Okay, dismiss. Thank you. Gadhing.. Gadhing.. That's true what Rusdi used to say. What do you mean, Uncle? Well, your father told me once. That you're his little pilot one day going to be a hell of a pilot. The lord of the sky. The knight of the sky. Even when in the hospital he always talking about you. Always looking for you. Do you think my father hates me? As long as I know. In his ups and down your father. Always consistent about one thing. He always loves you. But I'm not a good son, Uncle. The important things is he trusted you. He always believes in you. One day you'll be a great person. That's what he thinks, Uncle. That's one of the clich's, I've heard over and over again. Now whether, do you believe in those words or not? It's not easy, Uncle. Nobody said, it was going to be easy for now. Believe that it will come true, it's called hope. And it was also your father's hope for you to. I'm waiting for you at Iswahjudi-madium air base. - Nad. - Yes. I have to go back to Madiun. Are you ready? I'm ready, Mom. No one knows what will happen in the future. On the other hand as we know, you've been through the worst thing in your life. Against the odds, whatever comes to your way. Thank you, Mom.

Get off the bus with me and I'll explain later. Come on. What's wrong with you? Why did you make me get off here? Who are you?/ I'm sorry. Look at your bag. Oh, my God. All good. Good thing nothing fell. Thank, God./ Yeah. Thank you. I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you inside the bus. I was afraid it would cause a fuss. Yes, it's okay. Oh, my gosh. I'm the one who should apologize. I spoke so rudely to you. It's okay. I would be angry too... ...if a stranger pulled me to get off the bus. Where are you going? To campus. It's near De Amstel. Yes, it's not far from here. Do you want me to take you there? Yeah. Sure./ Yeah. There are a lot of pickpockets here. So you have to be careful. Yes. I didn't realize it at all. I'm Khadija. I'm Kamala. Are you from the Netherlands? Why is your Indonesian so good? Yes, I'm from the Netherlands... ...but I study Indonesian literature at college. Every single fate from Allah... ...is a beautiful story that has been written for us. Thank you. Be careful./ Thank you. Allah made a plan for every meeting that we have with someone. Hey, wait, wait. Let me see the photo before that. Zoom in to the girl with hijab. Zoom in. Hey, that girl looks shiny! Maybe the sunlight or... Whatever it is,I want that photo for this week's edition! Okay!/ Yes! Yeah!/ But, sir... No excuses! Joko, will prepare a contract. Also, put a title in the contract. What's the title? The title is A Muslim Beside the Amstel River... ...or Angel in Light. Yeah? Okay. The problem is, she's not a model! Sir.../ Back to work. Why did you agree with him? I don't know who that girl is. Now where should I look for her? Because Allah knows what's best for our lives. Hello. Is there anything I can help? Please. Let me see. Are you from Indonesia? Yes, how did you know? You have the Indonesian flag on your bag. Oh, yeah. How do you know Indonesian? Yeah, I lived in Indonesia before. Are you here to study?/ Yeah, I'm going to college here. Just a little bit more.

Good evening. Good evening./ I'm Nicholas. I'm Khadija. Sorry, is there something you need? Sorry. I'm a photographer and journalist... ...and I wanted to show you this. You secretly took a photo of me? No. More precisely, it was accidental. I was taking photos randomly. And it was a coincidence that you went into the frame. I see. Thank you. I'll be going in now./ One more thing. I want to ask for your permission to publish it in the media. Media? I'm sorry. I don't understand. For what? There's nothing special about this photo. You're wrong. Try to look at it again. Look behind you. That light. That's what makes it special. My boss asked me to publish it in the media. And of course, I need your permission.../ I'm very sorry. I'm sorry, but I can't do that. Thank you for the photo. So you met the person, but you let her go just like that? Do you know the consequences? Nic, we'll get fired. Where did you meet her? Let me talk to her./ It's no use, Joko. Instead of doing that, it's better for you to think of another concept. But this is the only concept that our boss likes. Come on. Help me. These are the books you're looking for/ Which one... Have a look. Can I help you? What book are you looking for? Did you forget me? I remember. But if you came back to ask about the photo, I'm very sorry. My answer is still the same. Can I add something? It's not just that photo that will be published. But later, an article will be published about Muslim women in Europe. Isn't that great? To be some sort of Islamic figure? What do you know about Muslim women? You can come back here if you have the answer to that. Sorry. Are you going to take the book? Yes. 20 Euro. I have 50 Euro. Please./ Thank you. Happy reading. Peace be upon you, Mala. Khadija.

Soon my friends who'll help you will also come. Yes, I'm very grateful./ Just relax. You're welcome. Hey, have you tried the stamppot here? Not yet. But I've been here a couple times. The stamppot here is the best. Hi. There she is. Hey, Nic, isn't that the girl in your photo? Yes./ Why is she here? It's everywhere. But the best.../ Hi, Kamala! Hey, Jok! Oh, my gosh. It's been so long. Where were you?/ It's been so long. Where were you? Hey, what are you going to do? Here. I can't?/ Later. You haven't introduced yourselves. This is Nico, my friend from the office who will help us. Hello. I'm Nicholas./ Hello. I'm Mala. Have we met before? Did you help someone fix her bike? A few days ago./ Yeah. Okay./ That was you, right? You're the girl with the Indonesian flag on her bag? That's right. On my bag. How's your bike?/ It's all taken care of. Oh, my gosh. I never thought we would meet again here. It turns out the world is small. There are people here./ Yeah. I forgot that you were here. Khadija, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Joko, who will help us. And this is Nicholas. I already met Nico before. You two know each other?/ Nico got rejected by her. Rejected?/ No, no. Joko is just kidding. No. Good thing I haven't yet. I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Joko./ I'm Khadija. Praise be to God./ You're being dramatic. Before we talk, let's order first./ Sure. Beef stamppot. Oh, so that's what happened. Sorry. You guys did it wrong. You should have talked to me. I'm sure Khadija would want her photo to be published. Starting from now, let me be your manager. We'll ask them to pay a lot. What do you think? If Kamala's saying this, it means Khadija wants to, right? I'm very sorry. I can't change my mind about that. Come on, Khadija, help us. If you don't, we'll get fired./ Joko. We respect your decision. Forget about the photo. Thank you. You're welcome. Oh, yeah. Khadija, you can explain to us how we can help you. Oh, yeah. So I'm going to make a photo exhibition about the acculturation... ...of the culture of Indonesia and the Netherlands. The theme will be Asian performance arts. That's why I want you to be the subject. Because you're a dancer, so it's just right. I'm going to be the model? Yeah./ Seriously? Of course, I want to! I'd love to! He's the one taking the photos, right? If you guys don't mind. Okay, and how can I help? Can you do it, Jo?/ Let me help you Joko. I can. I can. Sorry, there's a lot of stuff. First time here. Like that. With your hands. Like this?/ Yes. Take a picture with the windmill. Sorry, there is... ...blonde hair. Just a little./ Done? Done. Happy./ Okay. I'm still here? Yes./ Okay. Nice. One... Two... Nico is a cool person. I got nervous when he touched my face. He's the type of person that doesn't talk much. But he's cool. When I'm close to him, my heart beats fast. Do you like Nico? I don't know. But it's been a while since my heart beat this fast... ...when I'm close to a boy. Nic. You don't want to give the contract now? That's enough. It's over Joko. Already close. I saw Nico... It's like he keeps looking at you. Oh, really? You're making me overthink. Why would he keep looking at me? You're pretty. You're kind. Even I'm really glad to be your friend. Thanks. It's also thanks to you that I got to know Nico. I'm the one who's really thankful of you. So who do you choose?/ What? The girl wearing the hijab or the girl without the hijab? What are you saying? Women who wear hijab. The more you look at them... ...the more curious you get. Who's looking at them? I'm just taking photos of the scenery. Why are you acting like that? I caught you. You didn't catch me doing anything. I'm just taking photos. The scenery is nice./ Your face is red, Nic. It's cold here, Joko. It's cold./ See? You're panicking. What's with you?/ All right, just take a photo of me. What?/ Take a photo of me. You rarely take a photo of me. It's for me to change my display picture with. Yeah, all right. That's good, Joko. Are the photos enough?/ Enough. Nic. Over here, Nic. Where are you going now, Sar? The usual. I'm going clubbing with Peter. You keep opening other people's packages. Oh, my gosh. I just had a little taste. It's rare for the anchovies to be a little spicy. Not like usual./ Oh, yeah? Come with me, Mal. There's a lot of handsome boys there. So you won't always be single. Boys who go clubbing aren't my type. Don't forget to use it, daughter A mukena from your mom Does your mom know that you never pray here? Oh, my God. Why is my face weird? Don't use this one. Just delete it, okay?/ Kamala. Don't use that photo./ Kamala. Remember. I'm not a photographer of models. You're not a cosmetic model. You're a dancer. There's artistic value to it. Take a look. Your beautiful face expression. Your body movement. The energy that you gave in this photo. Fine. I'll listen to what a professional photographer says. Thank you. Are you close with Khadija? We're not close yet. Why? Well, we're not close... ...because we haven't known each other for a long time either. I don't know. Maybe it's from me. I think I'm keeping my distance from Khadija because... ...she's nice. But when I'm close to her, it feels like I'm close to my religion teacher. When I was little. It's like... What... It makes me feel hesitant. I'm afraid I'd say something wrong. Something like that. Why did you ask?/ It's nothing. It's just interesting. You and Khadija happen to have the same religion, but... ...your characteristics are very different. Khadija is like what you just said. She's closed up like your religion teacher back then. And you're like the women here. More free. Free. Which one do you like? No, I'm not comparing what I like and don't like. I'm just observing two different women who just happen to have the same religion. It's actually simple. Khadija is more devoted to her religion. And I'm not devoted yet. Mom Hello, Mom? Why did you call at this time? Mal, it's time for the Subuh prayer. Wake up and pray first. Oh, my gosh, Mom. I thought there was important news. Yes, I'll pray. Okay, Mom. Mal. Mala. Go pray. I don't know why my mom has been really naggy lately. My mom used to be like that too. Just ignore her. She'll get tired of it. Why would you force someone to pray? Sayur asem (vegetable soup). I'll open the door. That must be Nico. Okay. - Hi! - Hi! Oh, my goodness. You finally got here. Why are you two late? What's this nice smell? The food was ready a long time ago. I'm hungry. Come in./ All right. Me too. Come in, Nico. Thank you. It smells so good. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you too. Come in. Please, sit. All the food is ready, right? Here you go./ Khadija. Hello./ Hello. You're Nico and you're Joko, right? Yes. How did you know? Your face isn't good enough to be a Nico. Please, try the food. Did you cook all of this by yourself? Fatimah helped me too. This is my way of saying thank you because you all were so kind to help me. Yeah. No problem. Please, eat. What is it? It's nothing. It's good. Oh, yeah. Nico's glass is still empty. I'll pour you water. Thank you. Welcome. Mal. Pour it yourself. I can't reach it, Mal. I still can't reach it, Mal. You're so spoiled, Jok. Here. Joko. Give it back. Sorry, guys. What are you doing? It's already late./ Oh, my God. You keep taking it./ I don't have any at home. Fatimah. Why do Muslim woman have to wear... ...hijab? Okay, I'll give you an example. Okay. Which one do you choose? This one, of course. Why? Because it's still covered. It's still clean. You already gave the answer. Nico. Women in Islam are like queens. And as a queen, not just anyone can see them. Not just anyone can touch them. Women's positions are very high in Islam. And with the hijab, women are more protected. They're more respected and not disturbed. That's how Islam protects women. Clean and pure. And hopefully... ...Kamala will wear it too one day. Even I'm wearing it. What do you know about Muslim women? You can come back here if you have the answer to that. Hey, Marien./ Niels. I almost can't believe... Why are you dressed like that? Are you trying to hide yourself... ...so I can't recognize you again? Hey, Marien. Marien, wait. Wow, now you don't want to be touched too? Why you wear such a funny clothing like that? Stop./ You look silly. Stop, Niels./ Take off! Give it back!/ I won't! Look at yourself! Look at your hair! You're doing too much./ You're disgusting. No! No! Niels, give it back to me! Niels. No! No! Give it back! Niels. Don't bother her again or I'll finish you off. Okay. But just so you know, your friend who's pretending to be all pure now... ...used to live in the same room as me. I also still saved our other videos. Are you all right? It's all right. I'll take you home. Are you okay? Let's go. Thank you. Good evening. After I thought about it, if you have time tomorrow... ...at 5 PM, we could meet at the De Amstel Park. And ing the contract for my photo. I'll sign it. Khadija. Sorry. Sorry I'm late. It's okay. Did you ing the contract? It's in my bag. But before that... ...I don't want you to feel forced... ...or feel that you owe me because of what happened yesterday. It's okay, Nico. I want you to record me when I talk. What do you mean? With a video. Are you sure?/ Yes, I'm sure. I want people to know that this story is real. All right. My name is Siti Khadija. I was born in a very religious non-Muslim family. The name that my parents gave me was actually Marien. My family really wants me to be like them. But I was the opposite of that back then. I used to live really freely. I tried all the bad things. Until one day, God reprimanded me. That night, I saw my ex-boyfriend. He was with another woman. At that moment, I felt oken-hearted. I sacrificed so much for him. Hey!/ He didn't want me to go. He threatened me. And he said... ...that he would spread videos of the two of us. At first, I thought he was just bluffing. Because there was no way that he would embarrass himself. But it turns out, I was wrong. He re-edited the video... ...so that only I could be seen. Go away!/ Get off me! Just go! My family knew about it. They were furious about what I did. Go away! I'm so ashamed. At that moment, I really... I didn't have any hope. I truly felt alone. Until I finally tried to kill myself. But there was a Muslim woman... ...who was on the way to the mosque for Subuh prayer. Oh my God. Fatimah. She saved me. Why do you think, God... Allah SWT, let you live? Because Allah SWT... ...still wants to give you an opportunity. No matter how bad your past is... ...you still have a ight future. Allah SWT shows His love... ...by accepting His creation's repentance. How can I be a better person? You can do it. Then I lived with her. I also joined the Muslim community. And they accepted me with open arms. There, I felt like I had new hope. Like I had a new life. In the end, I converted to Islam. That's why I have to live on my own, far from the people closest to me. Because I completely understand... ...that it's very difficult for them to accept how I changed. Allah loves you, Khadija. And everything will be fine. Trust me. But I'm sure that whatever happens... ...em acing Islam is the best decision that I have ever made in my life. So till this day, you still haven't met your family? I'll keep trying to get their forgiveness. You know my story now. I won't be surprised if you don't want to know me anymore. You're wrong. I'm actually proud to know you. The contract that I need to sign... Right. I almost forgot. Thank you. I wrote down my journey here. Maybe it can help complete your writing. Thank you. Okay then, we part here. Okay. - Send regards to Joko. - Yeah. - See you. You finally came./ Who are you? Feel this! That's enough! Let's go! Joko. Hey, Nic./ Don't touch me there. Okay. What happened to you, Nic?/ I was attacked. Attacked?/ Yeah. Who dared to attack you, Nic?/ It doesn't matter. Have you reported this to the police? Don't report this to the police. I don't want this problem to become bigger./ Okay. Get me medicine./ What? Medicine./ Right. You can walk by yourself, right? And Joko... ...don't tell anyone about this. Especially Khadija. Wait a minute. Oh, my God. I'm fine. Joko told me. Come in. Yeah. - Joko... - Joko is at the office. He'll be back soon. Nico, I'll just be here for a bit. It's okay. Just come in. Please, sit. I actually told Joko to not tell anyone, but... Joko is Joko. Joko yah Joko. Of course Joko is worried about you. I'm also worried. I think that we need to report this to the police. No need to. I know you don't want this problem to become bigger. Yes, but I'm sure that Niels will do this again. Niels isn't stupid. I'm sure that he's already satisfied. Do you want to drink something?/ No, thank you. Nico. I'm really sorry./ Khadija. This isn't your fault. That... I ought you fried rice. Joko said you like fried rice. Please, have a taste. Is it good? So good. Thank you. Okay, then I'll get going. You're not coming in? Hi, Joko. Joko's here. It's best that I go home. Okay./ Peace be upon you. See you. Peace be upon you too. Peter, can you wait for me in the car? Alright, I'll wait for you downstair. Hello. There's nothing in our agreement about inging boys to the room, Sar. Mal. Peter just helped me ing the suitcase. But that's our rule. I just don't like it if someone's not committed to it. If you want to date or keep changing boys out there, I don't care, Sar. But don't ing that in this room. Don't talk as if you're the most righteous. - I am right! You're the one who's wrong! - Yes, I'm wrong. I'm just here to get my clothes. I'm going to live with Peter. You happy? Hello? Yes, Mom. Peace be upon you, Mala. Yeah, yeah. Peace be upon you too. What is it, Mom? What happened? Why do you sound like that, Mala? What's wrong? I just miss you. I want to know how you're doing there. Yeah, yeah. You're going to tell me to pray again, right? Mom, if you tell me to pray, it actually makes me lazy to do it. I just want you to be safe in this world and the afterlife, Mala. Yeah, yeah. See? You're starting to give me a lecture again. Let's finish this call, Mom. I'm tired. I just got home. I've been thinking about you lately, Mal. Don't you want to come home for a while? You're speaking nonsense. Mom, I'm still studying here. I have one more year left. Just be patient and wait for me. I'll finish my studies. Just one more year left. Then I'll come home. I'm praying here, Mom. I can take care of myself. Let's finish this call, Mom. I want to work on my assignments. Mala... What happen?/ It's Mala. Mom Mom Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you too. Come in. Do you want to have some tea? Sure. Are you all right? I didn't hear from you. Mala. If you have a problem, you can tell me about it. You like Nico, don't you? Just answer the call first. Hello? Hello? Who is this? Auntie Rini? It's rare for you to call me. What happened? Mala. Your mom kept it a secret that she had a heart disease. So that you wouldn't worry. You have to accept it. Everything has been decided by Allah. There's wisdom in everything. But I haven't had the chance to return my mother's kindness, Auntie. I haven't fulfilled my duties to her. I didn't make her happy yet. You can still make your mother happy by sending your prayers... ...and fulfilling her wishes that she had when she was alive. Yeah, yeah. You're going to tell me to pray again, right? Mom, if you tell me to pray, it actually makes me lazy to do it. I just want you to be safe in this world and the afterlife, Mala. This is really great. It's not the writing that's great. But it's the person's story. Thank you, Nico. You wrote the story of my life so beautifully. If there aren't any corrections... ...this will be published tomorrow. I don't know what to correct. Thank you. Are you okay?/ I'm okay. Do you need a tissue? I'm just really touched. Then, I'll be going home. Khadija. Yeah? I was thinking... ...to ask you to have dinner with me, just the two of us. To cele ate this project being finished. Nico. I think we shouldn't be too close. I feel bad for Mala. For what? You always think of Mala's feelings. But how about your own feelings? You and Mala are such good friends. Friends? If we're really just friends, why do you keep avoiding me? Khadija. What do I have to do... ...to be more than a friend? I'm serious about this, Khadija. That's impossible, Nico./ We'll make it possible. I know how. I'll follow your religion. I'm ready today, too. For you. Is this the reason why you want to convert to Islam? Yes. I'm sorry. I have to go. Khadija. If you're confused, ask Allah for a sign. With the Istikharah prayer. Allah will give you an answer. Khadija! I really missed you. Me too. Where are you going? I'm going to the mosque. Can I come with you? Of course. Let's go. Right now, I'm trying to fulfill all of my mom's wishes. That's the only thing I can do. Slowly healing myself from my regrets. I'm sure your mom is really happy in heaven. Amen. Khadija. Yes? Does Allah still want to accept me? Allah always accepts when His people repent. Help me become a good Muslim, okay? Women's positions are very high in Islam. And with the hijab, women are more protected. They're more respected. That's how Islam protects women. Clean and pure. How's Nico? Do you still meet him often? Nico came to the bookstore. Why didn't he contact me? I called him, but he didn't answer. Just answer it. It's okay. Khadija. You haven't answered my question from that time. You like Nico, don't you? Nico is a good friend. But not more than that. Khadija can we meet? Okay. We meet at Cafe Moeders tomorrow. Why are you smiling? Joko./ Yeah? How do I convert to Islam? Don't joke around, Nic. It's going to rain. I'm serious, Joko. Seriously? All praise be to God. I never expected that we would be others, Nic. Yeah! Excuse me. I'm going to the restroom. A woman wearing a hijab will come. Please tell her to wait here for a bit... ...and can you give her these flowers. Yes, sure./ Thank you. You finally came. Hi. Hi. Thanks for the flowers./ You're welcome. What is it? Do I look weird? No. You look great. Watch out! Are you alright? I'm alright. Should I give you a ride? No. No. No need. I can do it. Okay. Sorry./ Thank you. How are you? I'm fine. How about you? Well, I'm just like this. I'm trying to accept all that happened. Let's order. Let me take your order. Can I get two stamppot? I'm sorry, I think I have to go back to the office. Is that okay?/ It's okay. Just go ahead. Okay. Till we meet again. Thank you so much, Nico. You're welcome. See you./ See you. Be careful on your way back./ I will. You be careful too. Peace be upon you, Khadija./ Peace be upon you too. Am I bothering you by coming this late at night? No, you're not. Come in. Thank you. Do you want me to make you some warm tea? Yes, please./ Okay. What happened to your leg, Khadija? I'm fine. I fell from my bike this afternoon. But are you okay? It's okay. It's just a small injury. So, I actually came here because, first off, I'm worried about you. How come you didn't contact me? Second, I actually wanted to wait for tomorrow to tell you. But I can't wait. I coincidentally met Nico at the cafe. And guess what he said when we met? You finally came. Does that mean he's been waiting for me all this time? And Nico gave me flowers. Thanks. I don't know if this was a coincidence or fate. There's no such thing as a coincidence, Mala. Everything has been planned by Allah. What do you mean? You meeting Nico there. All of that has been planned by Allah. Pray for me, okay? Why didn't you come yesterday? I'm sorry, Nico. Maybe I could have understood if you didn't want to come. But telling Kamala to come... ...I never thought you would do that. I didn't tell Kamala. Oh, yeah? Then how did Kamala know I was there? God has planned it. God? I don't understand you, Khadija. I know that we feel the same. I can see it from your eyes. I don't feel the same way you do. Khadija. What are you doing here? It turns out that you can lie. I never expected that you were like this. I saw you and Nico, Khadija. Mala. I coincidentally met Nico... You said you and Nico were just friends. That you have no feelings towards him. But it turns out behind my back, you're completely different. Mala, you're misunderstanding this. - I really... - No. That's enough. From what I see, everything is clear. I'm sick of people who pretend to be pure. It's not just me who has to fix my morals. But you have to do the same too. Be careful, Khadija. Don't let yourself not see that you're being a hypocrite. Mala! Think about it and listen. Allah SWT said... Do not be weak. Do not be sad. You truly have the highest position... ...if you are a person with faith. A person with faith is never afraid. A person with faith does not dwell in sadness. They know that Allah is always with them. They know that Allah always loves them and will surely help them. Nico. I was looking for you and I found you here. I met the ustad here. And they're very happy. They're ready, whenever you can. So, when? Tomorrow? Nic. What's wrong? I got rejected. And then? What about what you'll be doing next? It's best that you don't continue, Nic. If your intention to convert to Islam is just to get the love of a Muslim woman... ...I don't want to help you. Islam... Which means grace and love to all in the universe. The prophet said... Which means Allah SWT truly does not look at how you look... ...and where you came from. But what He looks at are your heart and your actions. Allah who knows all. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah. And I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God. Thank God. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Allah is The Greatest. Why did you run, Nic? I saw Khadija. All right. Let's go back inside. Come on. It's rude to the others. I have to tell you something... Nico's love is just for Khadija. And from what I know... ...Khadija also loves Nico. But she gave up so that you'll be happy. Sar? Oh, my God, Sar. What happened? Maybe this is my sin towards my mom and dad. I regret loving someone who doesn't love me. If Peter really loved me, he wouldn't do this to me, right? Yes, Sar. What you did is right. Don't go back to Peter, okay? Yeah. It's all right. I regret loving someone who doesn't love me. Mala. If you have a problem, you can tell me about it. Because you're my friend. You're pretty. You're kind. Even I'm really glad to be your friend. There's no such thing as a coincidence, Mala. Everything has been planned by Allah. Kamala, I'm sorry. Goodbye. Tomorrow, I'm leaving Amsterdam. Khadija. Mala. Why do you have to leave? Nico loves you and you love him. Mala. I want you to be happy. Whoever will win Nico's heart will definitely be hurt. But if it's me, there will be two people who get hurt. I don't want that to happen. So let me be the one to leave. It's okay. No. I don't want you to be sad. Being sad is normal, Khadija. But it's like rain. It comes quickly. And it goes quickly. You don't need to think about me. Maybe I don't have Nico's love, but I have Allah's love. I will still go, Mala. I'm going out of the city. I'll be a volunteer at an orphanage there. Take good care of yourself, okay? I'll miss you so much. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you too. Hallo sir./ Hallo. Nico! I love you. But I know... ...that you only see me as a friend. You love Khadija, right? Khadija is avoiding you not because she doesn't love you. It's because she doesn't want to hurt me. Khadija is leaving Amsterdam right now. She's heading to the train station right now. You have to chase after her. Why are you doing nothing, Nic? Go and chase after her now. You want to see her, right? But she doesn't... ...want to see me. Nic, are you sure you don't want to chase after her? I know that you love her. And this might be your last chance to see her. Nic, I'm talking to you. Nic, there's no such thing as giving up for love. Nic, if you give up, it means you're the one not good enough for Khadija. Khadija. Khadija. It's me. Muhammad Nicholas Van Djick. I really hope that you're still here. Khadija. You told me before... ...that God planned everything that happened to us. At that time, I didn't believe it. But now I believe it. I believe that God had planned you entering my life. I believe God planned the angle of my camera... ...so that you entered my frame. And I also believe that God had planned my days... ...until I'm here with these feelings. With this feeling. And with God's permission... ...I want to say something. Khadija. I.../ Hey sir! It's for the worker only. Get out. Wait sir! Please sir. I just need a couple of minutes... You can't. Let's go. Let me go. I can do it my self. Yes, Okey. Attention to all passengers... ...train to Leiden Centraal will soon depart. ...please get in the train immediately. Muhammad Nicholas Van Djick! I.../ I love you too, Nico. I hid these feelings. But the more I hid it... ...the feelings grew even more. Khadija. Continue being the light in my life. I finally realized... ...that every meeting and love that comes... ...leaves, and stays in our lives... ...is the best fate from Allah. I'm greatfull... The article that Nico wrote about my story was read by many people. It became viral and was oadcasted in many media. I hope that my story can be an inspiration for other people. Longing for light in Amstel Marien./ Mom. This is Nico. Hallo. Nicholas.
TORMENT Directed by ALF SJÖBERG PRIMARY / SECONDARY SCHOOL You there! Stop! What offence has this miserable young man committed? He was late for morning prayers. So was I. I don't know my Latin. I bet I get caught. I had a feeling earlier. - Where was it? - In my stomach. The runs I have! Isn't my soprano voice pretty? Shut up. I'm cramming! Stop bothering me! Volo, nolo, malo, cupio, juvio... Look at Caligula, our resident sadist. Devising his next hellish torture. - Should be fun. - I'm sure it will be exquisite. I was really down when my gal told me she was knocked up. - Jeez! - I wasn't planning to be a family man. - Not yet, at least. - Of course not. - No hymn book? - Stolen. Don't lie. Stand to the side. - Think I'll get a demerit? - Figures I'd get caught. I'll show no mercy. Refuse to take me seriously and I'll do the same to you. If you wish to make this unpleasant, that's just fine with me. Please continue, Mr. Petterson. After Fabius Maximus had thus decamped, the army marched on for ten days, whereupon it pitched camp by the Igas River. The seconds-in-command were called to the consul's tent, where he told them -- Where he told them that... whereas it would not be impossible, the strategy would -- That they, however -- I couldn't make out this sentence, sir. I see. Then may I trouble you to take the next one? To the legates, this seemed... and later, privately, amongst themselves... yet in spite of this -- You didn't have time to open your books, Mr. Petterson. At least not to the right page. But I'll be lenient and give you a chance to reflect. Please continue, Mr. Widgren. To the legates, this seemed a good statement. Is that what it says? Karling? - Proposal. - Continue. A good proposal. Whereupon they agreed a large gift would be given to... Don't you know your own language? We don't say give a gift. That's bad Swedish. What do we say, Mr. Widgren? Aren't we quick-witted today? Ström? Present a gift. Are you familiar with the phrase, Mr. Widgren? Yes, of course. Of course. Continue. They stepped before the consul and assured him they were ready. Thank you. That will be all. Afford a person pleasure. Widgren! Afficere aliquem laetitia. Instil fear in someone. In... aliquem timore. Instil. Well? Inicere. Someone whispered that. Examples of the genitive with impersonal verbs. Kreutz? Miseret, paenitet, piget, pudet, taedet. Pardon. Karlsson? Parco, peperci, parsum, parcere. Beat. Bokstedt? Plango... plantice. Wrong! Bergström? Plango, planxi, planctum, plangere. Caesar hostem aggressus devicit. - Widgren? - Caesar defeated the enemy. Example of what? Participial construction. - Which one? - Participium coniunctum. - Predicative attribute. - Of what? Didn't you prepare the lesson? I did, sir. I believe you're lying, Mr. Widgren. I'm not, sir. No? No. I see. Which verbs take the genitive? Those that mean remind, remember forget, accuse, convince, judge, acquit. All transactional verbs. - Example? - Aestimo. - Oh? - Facio, duco, puto. - Really? - Camor. Mercior. Dono. You still claim you know the lesson? I knew it yesterday. You're lazy, and you pay no attention to me or my lessons. - That's not true. - Isn't it? Open your book! Begin with today's exercise! Quickly! The battle raged for three days. Eventually the Romans routed Hannibal's forces. A great number were taken prisoner and ought before the consul. What is this? Using forbidden aids, Mr. Widgren? I forgot to erase it. I forgot to erase it. Of course. You forgot to erase it. This is cheating, sir! Cheating! It's unfortunate, having to punish a pupil just two months before finals. Two weeks before trial exams. Most unfortunate. Most unfortunate. I'll speak to the headmaster. I believe we'll be seeing quite a bit of one another, Mr. Jan-Erik Widgren. Good afternoon. - He should be shot! - Bastard! Sadist! I can't wait to be rid of this misery. Boy, am I going to sleep then! Sleep and eat and forget all about this place. Let's get some cigs. Hello, my dear Carmen. Hello. What will it be -- a cola? You know I can't sell tobacco to schoolboys. - Bye now. - Bye-bye, sweetheart. - It's for my dad. - Get off it! Stop it! Let's go, Sandman. I'll take this magazine, miss. Thank you. Good day. A pack of Havanas and a Hudson. Could you open it for me, please? I'm so clumsy. Did you cut yourself? It's nothing. Nothing at all. - Anything else, sir? - No, thanks. Charge my account as usual. Good day. You look out of sorts, Jan-Erik. Bror, dear, you mustn't lean back in your chair. Jan still looks out of sorts. Mind your own business. He's just trying to show concern. Kids should keep their mouth shut when they eat. - How did you do in school today? - All right, I guess. Is that the truth? No. Was it something unpleasant? You answer it, Bror. - Tell me what happened. - I got a demerit. For cheating. - How did you know? - Your Latin teacher called. - The demerit seems justified. - Jan-Erik. - How could you cause us such pain? - I didn't cheat. It was illegible. I wrote it while preparing and forgot to erase it. It's most unfortunate, especially now, just before graduation. - It's not that bad. - That's a matter of opinion. You seem to take it lightly. Your mother and I are very upset. In my opinion, you've tarnished your reputation. Shall we leave the table? - It's not as if I'm a criminal, is it? - Don't mind Dad. You know what he's like. Sandman's on the phone. He wants to go to the movies. Hey, you! I'm beat. Wouldn't it be great to have a bed like the one in the movie? And a nice dame too. - You think? - You bet. A table filled with grub and booze, that bed and a dame. I wouldn't get up for two weeks. I'd just eat and sleep and make it with the oad. You're a true materialist. I see things differently. I'm going to write and play the violin all the time, once I'm out of that hellish place. As for women and the rest... I'll only have one. - And I'll love her. - Well, well. You don't have one now, do you? What about Lena? - I'm not in love with her. - In love? You're nuts. I suppose you want a girl who's pure and innocent. - Yes. - They don't exist. Really? All women are tramps. And if they're not, they want to be. Nietzsche and Strindberg both say so. Miss, the bill, please. Coming up? No, I've got to study that blasted Latin. That Caligula is a bastard. Oh, I don't know. He's more odd than anything. When you turn over a stone, you find nasty creatures underneath. Caligula isn't a genuine swine. He's a nasty little venomous creep. I don't believe a person can be all evil. You're still an adolescent. Just wait. You'll see how rotten everything is. It's truly ingenious. Good night. - You must think I'm a real fool. - Nonsense. You're the only one I can talk to. You can't help it if you're an idealist who believes in innocent women. - Good night. - See you. Are you all right? Never felt better in my life. - Miss Olsson! Can I help you? - Oh, shut up! What are you staring at? Bothering a lady like this. Don't be silly. You need help. Silly, eh? Come closer and I'll give you -- - Stop babbling. Where do you live? - Let me go! Stop shouting! Where do you live? None of your business! Try to act sober. There's a policeman up there. Now where do you live? ...number 32, fourth floor. Leave my andy alone! Leave me alone. I'm going. Good-bye. No, don't go! I'm scared to be alone. He might come. I'm so terribly afraid of him. - Please don't go! Please! - Who are you afraid of? I can't tell you. He knows everything. He spies on me. And when he's here -- Please stay. I can't stand it any longer! I can't stand it! I know it: He'll be the death of me. The way he torments me! Stay with me, please. I can't. You can't? Why not? - My parents will be mad. - Mad? I suppose you have homework. Yes, I do. Go on then! Still here? What's it going to be? I'd like to stay... But? I don't love you. - Does it matter? - It does to me. - Do I disgust you? - No. Are you scared of me? Yes, a little. Don't be. No. No, don't. - Are you leaving? - I have to. It's half past 3:00. Come and say good-bye. It was kind of you to stay. Sure, very kind. Come back and see me often. We'll see. Promise. You must promise. All right, I promise. Promise Pelle too. Yes, Pelle, I'll be back. You promised. Good night. - Has anyone seen Petterson? - He's still in the classroom, sir. There you are, Petterson. I need to talk to you. - I know. - Come here. Petterson, Petterson. It's not easy to be form master when something like this happens. Why were you truant, Petterson? What possessed you? Were you afraid of someone? Hadn't you prepared the lesson? We really must discuss this. Can't you see that? Yes. Well? You see, it was Caligula -- I mean, the Latin teacher. Yes, I understand. - He scares you. - Scares you? Your mind goes blank. You're struck dumb. All the others hate him too. We're all scared. Most teachers you respect, but he enjoys frightening us. He's a sadist. You believe that, Petterson? I don't know. So you were truant on Monday because it was a double Latin class. Every Sunday is ruined because of the double Latin class on Monday. And now you get a demerit, Petterson. Was it worth it? Yes. Are you that frightened? Please don't give me a demerit. It will spoil my oral exam. Please! I won't do it again. My parents will be so angry. I don't dare go home. I'm too indulgent. Good thing I'm retiring next year. I can't be loyal to both pupils and teachers. You watch it, Petterson! Don't do this again! I think the boys are afraid of you. It won't do them any harm. You can't teach the pupils anything that way. No? I mean... why not try to be a bit nicer? They're not bad kids. Lazy, yes. But they're good boys, really. At least I think so. You know, our work is complicated. Wouldn't it be best to meet them halfway? We shouldn't be the boys' enemies. The job is nerve-racking enough as it is. - Are you saying I terrorize them? - I didn't say that. - Then what are you getting at? - That a man of your learning shouldn't care so much for respect ed from fear. - That's no concern of yours. - It is! It's my class, and my boys. - So it hurts them, does it? - Yes. Not all, but some. The others just despise you and laugh at you behind your back. How do you know that? I know my boys. - And I don't? - No, you don't. If you did, you'd behave differently. Behave? Kindly refrain from using that word. This isn't a matter of words. I thought you cared about your boys. But I'm just an old fool. Oh? I see now that you don't care one iota about them. Really? Well, do you care about them? A teacher must care about his boys. Or else what does he care about in life? I don't wish to be cross-examined! Who took map No. 40? I wish to make it clear to you that you are unsuited to be a teacher! Maybe I am too, because I'm too kind. But I like my boys -- and I'm not afraid of them! Are you saying I'm afraid? Nonsense! For you it's a fight to the death. Frighten me, and I'll scare you to death! I'm telling you that's wrong, since you can't see it for yourself. - Where is map No. 40? - Stand still and calm down. Just listen to me. I'm old enough to be your father. Our profession is a vocation. That means it's a calling, something that comes naturally. Your academic qualifications and years of service alone don't make you a teacher. You don't know the first thing about boys! There's something called heart and joy. A bit of kindness and understanding. But you don't have enough of those to feed a flea! If you were a special case, it wouldn't be so bad. But you can be found in every school! And not just schools, but everywhere else! A tormentor of human beings, that's what you are! Listen to me. I've been ill. Very ill. My nerves have still not quite recovered. The curriculum is tough and demanding. I'm impartial. I don't coddle or indulge. I work objectively. And I won't change just because some nervous imbecile complained! Where is that map? Oh, sorry. I have it. Good day. Is Widgren here? No. - Where is he? - He went to get some notebooks. Ah, there you are. - Did you want something, sir? - I want to speak to you. Let's sit down over there. Widgren, it's a shame there's bad feelings between us. A great shame. I don't want you to dislike me. You see... I've had a difficult time. And I've been ill. Very ill. I've been watching you, Widgren. You view me with aversion, almost animosity. Please don't. I don't know what to say. I've got nothing against you, sir. Yes, you do. You must stop looking at me that way. I forbid you! That will be all, Widgren. What did our resident sadist want? He's the devil himself! Who's the girl you were seen with in the street last week? - Oh, just a friend. - I see. A girlfriend. You play beautifully. You're so talented. That was nothing. I have no time to practice these days. An adolescent's dream: to sit in his girlfriend's room, eating biscuits. - You're in a good mood. - I'm so happy right now. I don't care what happens. The twilight's beautiful. Why don't we go for a walk on the main promenade? We can laugh at Caligula and all the other teachers! I don't know. Tell me. Do you like me just a little? You see, I -- You see that star? It seems to hang far below the sky on an invisible string. It's been great company to me. If you only knew how lonely I've been. Lonely? Who hasn't been lonely? I used to stand at the crossing, watching the trains. Don't laugh. I'd imagine myself on one of those trains one day. A sweet young woman in a bell-shaped skirt and a funny hat, with no luggage. Now you'd be there too. Would you want to come? Nothing would ever frighten us again. You were so afraid before. Was someone frightening you? Yes. Won't you tell me who he was? No, I can't. I don't dare! He's tried to get in. I heard him fumbling with his key in the new lock. He's called too. Sometimes I've felt him following me in the street. Let's not talk about that now. Let's have some tea. My friend Sandman is a cynic and a misogynist. He's terribly smart. He thinks I'm juvenile. Do you think so too? Not at all. I've never felt as good as I do with you. Bertha, were there many before me? No, but you see, it was fun having them chase me. - Have you never really been in love? - No. - Why not? - Don't be stupid! No one ever wanted me. I wanted to live a little. And I thought that -- Oh, never mind. I was wrong, anyway. I don't believe you. You're lying! You're just trying to scare me! He's a beast! A beast! Bertha! Who is it? You mustn't leave me. You hear me, my darling? Don't just sit there. Hold me. Don't let him come here. I'm so afraid. What are you afraid of? Does he hurt you? It's not just that. Don't turn the light on. Jan-Erik! Stay with me, will you? Don't be afraid. There's no such thing as ghosts. I've seen at least one. That's dead and buried as of tonight. I'd like to believe that. Listen. I have something for you. It's a key to my door. You can come and go as you please. - Thanks, but what about my exams? - I'm sure you'll do well. - I haven't studied at all. - I'll keep my fingers crossed. I wonder what topics will come up. Damn! No! FIRST DAY OF EXAMS Now we'll pay for our years of neglect. We should be dressed up. - You're an old hand. - Second time around. I'm no amateur. There should be a drum roll. And we could all sing Fear not, little flock. Shh! The headmaster. - Hot, isn't it? - Yes, very hot. Look at them in their funeral attire. You know why they all dress up like undertakers? They've got the jitters, you see. Today is their big day. They get puffed up with importance by the exams. Year after year, they never get any further than the diploma. It doesn't get any bigger. This is their climax. It's a grand occasion -- for them. Gentlemen, please take the seat corresponding to your number. Would Bergman and Ström please approach. Please verify that the seal is un oken. Thank you. Please be seated. Would the senior master kindly distribute the papers on my command. Please begin. What's the matter? You're drunk! What happened? Answer me! Who was here? For God's sake, answer me! Bertha, tell me. You must tell me what's happened. You can't just stand there like that, not saying a word. You hear me? You know I'm very fond of you, don't you? You've been so kind to me. We've been so good together. Is that all over now? No fun being decent, was it? Answer me. Is it all over? Is it? Yes, it's all over. He'll kill me. He sits there playing with his penknife, speaking slowly and quietly. He tells me such horrible things. Filthy, horrible things! Suddenly he gets nervous and starts pacing the room. He has such horrid white hands, with hairy fingers. Stop talking about the creep! I don't want to know who he is. A moment ago you wanted to. How did I get into this? I want to be left alone! Christ, I'm so fed up with this! With me too? I don't know. The way you act, it's like I never knew you. And you just said we're through. Just as well. I wouldn't want to share you. One week until finals. I wish it were all over. Just a week? It's crazy! I've heard the examiners are a mean bunch. I can't think in this heat. Your head swells up so big, you can't get your cap on. All sense evaporates. It's all crap! Miserable, pointless, ridiculous crap! - The devil's coming! - He looks strange. - He always looks strange. - Whisper the answers. - All present? - Yes, sir. Close the windows. Widgren will begin today's translation. I'm not prepared. - Have you gone mad? - I had no time. No time? I was too tired. I was studying history half the night. I see. So you were too tired? I see. Mr. Widgren was too tired. - A peculiar explanation. - I study all I can. - You make no effort in my class. - That's not true! Is that so? Was anyone else too tired to prepare today's lesson? No? Then perhaps we're not too tired to put on our jackets. Mr. Widgren seems particularly delicate. Why is that? I don't know. I do my best. You're lazy, Mr. Widgren, and just a bit pathetic. This is no place for weak boys. We're heading into exams. Don't you understand, Widgren? No. But one day you will, but it'll be too late then. You know what I think? I think you'll receive a poor grade in Latin. Very poor. You know what else? You're too frail for the exam. It's a baptism by fire. It's really not for you. Not at all. Please begin, Petterson. Can you imagine? A rascal in the third form put this on the floor in front of me during class. It hopped straight up to me, chirping all the while. What's so funny about that? What's this noise? Someone's making a racket. It was me, sir. Sorry. You see, I know you all call me Birdie. It's a nice name. I know teachers who are known by much worse. Sandman, close that Greek textbook. Don't study for your next subject during my class. And don't think I'm too senile to spot you. Shame on you! A man of doubtful reputation. This set of essays contains two absolute howlers. Mr. Petterson will have to acknowledge paternity for one. He writes as follows: The nomadic Laplanders never stay in one place for very long. Mr. Sandman has a darker side. He consorts with gangsters and loose women, in a mixture of Maupassant and Zola. He writes -- What's the matter, Mr. Widgren? May I go home, sir? Of course! How do you feel? Dear me, are you very ill? No, I just feel a bit sick. What on earth? I can't understand how he can be overworked. He hasn't worked all that much lately. School. There are other things besides school, aren't there, Mr. Widgren? What do you mean, Doctor? Oh, nothing in particular. As a doctor, you get to see the unpleasant side of school life. Thin and deformed individuals. A taxi, please. Lopsided, warped, scrawny, undernourished and overworked. Could you send a taxi to -- What's the address? No. 11 Brahegatan. For Dr. Nilsson. Sunken chests, bloodshot eyes, anemia, even twisted sex lives -- What's that? Yes, Dr. Nilsson. It's not that strange, really. There they sit on their bottoms from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. And after that they have homework. Does that make any sense? Thank you so much. The curriculum gets more and more demanding. The teachers become narrow-minded specialists. Were the boys to learn all that's asked of them, they'd be in an asylum. But they're not that stupid, our young ones. They do their best, with the aid of a bit of trickery. The fact they're still in such good trim I attribute to well-developed lazybones. So you mean that cheating and truancy are justified? Certainly not. But it's a crying shame that boys should be driven to it to avoid exhaustion. - They should learn to behave. - I agree. But I doubt today's methods will lead to that. Take good care of the boy. Let him stay in bed for a day or two. He looks like he's carrying the world's problems on his shoulders. Terribly hot, isn't it? Good-bye. - Torsten. - Yes? Please keep the noise down, Selma. Is that you, Mother? Which verbs take the ablative absolute? You do care for me, don't you? Darling, I'm so afraid. Never leave me again. Never! Help me! Just help me! Bertha! I have to put you to death. You're too weak in the dead languages. When you're dead, you'll feel more at home. Bertha. My poor little darling! Mummy will help you. I'll help you into bed. You can't lie on the floor. I'll help you up. You guessed quite right. I am afraid. It's like I have a burning white spot in my ain... that drives me to devise certain things. But it's myself that I frighten most of all. Like now, when I come here to scare you. More andy? I've feared death only once. It was a cat, actually. Funny, really. I've always been fond of cats. A big cat was basking in the sun in front of a house. I went up to it, talked to it sweetly. It purred and rubbed against me. I bent down and stroked its back. Suddenly it bit my hand. It went berserk. It dug all its claws into my hand. It clung on tight, sinking its teeth into my hand. I'll never forget the panic I felt. I think I screamed. You know what I did? I dunked my hand, cat and all, into a barrel of water. Like this. The cat clung to my arm like a vise. It drowned, but without ever releasing its grip. A doctor had to cut it loose. I still have the scars. Look. I don't want to! That's the way to be, all right. Never lose your grip. If you don't bite, I will. According to observations, this occurs approximately one week later than in the south. - I have to speak to you! - It's a free country. - Don't be angry with me. - I am angry with you. I want nothing to do with you. - Good day. - Good day, Widgren. How are you? You were -- - I'm well, thank you. So you know the girl from the tobacco shop. - Do you know her well? - No. - Not at all? - A little. Tell me: Is she a nice girl, really? I don't know. Why? There aren't many days left before finals. Six, I believe. This heat is trying. Takes the life out of us all. Is it going to go on like this, I wonder. Volo, nolo, malo... Bertha. I didn't do it! I didn't do it. He's going to report me. Police. - I didn't do it. - Was it you who called? - I didn't do it. - What's your name? Please calm down, sir. I can't release you until the cause of death has been confirmed. This is crazy! I'm not a criminal! Do you think I am? I'm not a criminal! Calm down, sir. Just drink this. This is all just a formality. Come with me. You should lie down for a moment. I wouldn't hurt a fly. I'm so afraid, Inspector. I've been ill. You mustn't frighten me. Calm down, sir. Lie down and try to get some sleep. I'll call you as soon as the report comes in. I'll just take these. She must have neglected her health terribly. I don't know how one can drink oneself to death, but she did. - Coupled with a weak heart -- - And malnutrition. Better call the police, so that wreck of a schoolmaster can go home and sleep. Will do. You may go, sir. Quite a relief, isn't it? I'm so sorry we had to do this to you. Good-bye, sir. Good-bye, Officer. Would you wait outside, please. Show Widgren in. Well, this is a sorry business, Widgren. The Latin teacher has made a number of serious charges against you. I've made note of them and would like to hear your version. Sit down, Widgren. One morning your Latin teacher sees you with a girl, Bertha Olsson. She worked in the tobacco shop. Knowing the girl is of questionable reputation, he seeks her out to ask her to stay away from you and plead with her to change her ways. She laughs and swears at him and generally behaves improperly. She was drinking andy. Suddenly, she clutches her heart and falls down dead. Soon thereafter, before he had recovered from the shock, you arrive, opening the door with your own key. Finding the girl dead, you accuse him of murder and rush off. Well, Widgren, what do you say to that? Do you believe any of that yourself, sir? I don't believe anything. That is -- Yes, it's true. I was seeing a girl who may not have had the best reputation. That, coupled with your cheating, would be enough to expel you. - Do you realize that? - Yes, and I don't care. I see. However, that's not the only matter at hand. I want to know if the rest is true. I mean how it happened. So you're not so sure? Please answer my question and refrain from any personal reflections. Would you repeat the question to the person who made the charges? I won't do that. I can't. Very well. I'll do it. Will you swear that your charges are in accordance with the truth? Mr. Widgren has asked me to put the question to you in his presence. What reason would I have to lie? It's true that my statements cannot be checked. But why would I get Widgren expelled if not for educational reasons? Can't we try to resolve this, for Widgren's sake? Educational reasons! - You killed her! - Easy, Widgren! You frightened her to death! You tormented her, got her drunk and tortured her! - Like you torture all of us! - I must protest! You scared her to death! If I'm expelled, then he should be expelled a hundred times over! You old pervert! Is this a bad time? - Do you want something? - Not exactly. - Then please wait outside. - But -- Please. If you say so. Enough now! Widgren, wait outside. Have you taken leave of your senses, boy? Don't you realize I can't help you now? I wonder which of you bears the greatest guilt. What do you mean? We'll be forced to commit an injustice. But there's no getting around it, unless you'd consider withdrawing your charges. No, I won't consider that. Will you have it on your conscience that you ruined the boy's future? Hurry! We're trying on graduation caps! I won't be needing one. Widgren! Why didn't you come to us, my boy? Why didn't you tell us? Why? Expelled. Like your mother says, why didn't you tell us? What would I have said? I suppose your mother and I deserve this. We thought -- Oh, never mind. Say it, Father. You thought you'd be proud of me. Isn't that it? Let's speak of it no more. What's done is done. Your mother and I will just have to get over it. I suppose you will! - What's this tone of voice? - It's always you and Mother, isn't it? You're offended. You're disappointed. You'll have to get over it. What about me? You couldn't care less! I don't care about you! You've never cared about me! I'm not staying! You won't have to be ashamed of me. You certainly talk big! You don't believe me, Father? How could you? Don't go! My darling boy, you mustn't go! You mustn't! Everything will be all right. Please don't go! Everyone passed! Well, boys... this period in your life has now come to an end. You'll now step out and see what life has to offer. I hope you will do your old school proud. Try to see it for what it is: a strict parent and exacting mentor. Perhaps not always fair, and perhaps not all it should be. But it has one thing that I dare vouch for: a sincere and honest desire to mould you -- A sincere and honest desire to mould you into good, able and useful citizens. It is my sincere hope that it has succeeded in this important task. All that now remains are the farewells. We, your old taskmasters, wish you happiness and success. I hardly need tell you that, do I? All the best, Bergman. All the best, Kjellgren... Swine! Amen. What will you do now? I don't know. I feel like I'm going mad. I need to think. You're desperate, buddy. Tell me about it. No. See you around. Are you going to live here in Bertha's room? Where else? Thanks for coming. She had a hard time. You see, I -- I understand. - Do you really? - Yes. You know, all that Nietzsche and Strindberg... all that rubbish I said about women. I don't believe it anymore. You see, I've become -- Come with me. You can't live here alone, damn it! No. I want to be alone. See ya. - Is that you, Widgren? - Yes. Would you mind if I came in? No. Could we perhaps have a little light? I've been wanting to talk to you. Sandman told me where you were, so I thought I'd come by. You didn't like school, did you? Or rather, you didn't quite fit in. Isn't that so? I can understand that. Our school system doesn't suit everybody. What do you want? You think criticizing school will help me? I'll tell you what I want. I want you to go home to your parents. They're so worried. - Are they! - Yes, they are. - And I'd like to help you if I can. - No one can help me. Not with your inner problems. Like everyone else, you'll have to bear those all on your own. But there's something else that needs sorting out for which I feel partly responsible. Oh? And what would that be? You've cut yourself off from society. You're running away in sheer desperation. However strange this may sound, it's your old school's fault, and I'd like to make up for it. No, I can't reverse your expulsion. But I promise to do all I can to help you in other ways. I have to try to stop you. Bring you back among people. Do you understand, my dear boy? Promise to come see me at my house tomorrow. We'll talk more then. All right, but please go now. Promise you won't do anything foolish. Here. Here's a little money. Get a hotel room for the night. Try to get some sleep. Time passes. One day you'll be able to look back on this without pain. Maybe you'll even learn from it. You see, I believe that there's a meaning to everything that happens, even though it may seem unlikely in our eyes. Good-bye, my boy. What are you doing here? You want to go inside? Here's the key. Take it. The headmaster was here. What did he say? - We didn't talk about you. - I know he said something about me. Widgren... I didn't want this to happen. Listen to me. I've been ill. I still am very ill. I can't help it. You must know I didn't do it deliberately. I have nobody. Four walls, bookshelves, a bed, a desk, a cleaning woman, schoolboys and waitresses! But no one that wants me. May I go now? Nobody wants anything to do with me. They laugh at me or run away. They're afraid of me too. But I'm the one who's most afraid. Turn on the light, Widgren! You can't leave me alone! Widgren! Turn on the light! Stay with me!
AN EDUCATION Come on, girls. Anybody? Anybody else? Jenny, again. -Because Mr Rochester is blind? -Yes, Jenny. I've got an English essay to do by tomorrow morning. The only sound I want to hear is the sound of sweat dripping on textbooks. -Cello? -No cello. -Cello is my interest or hobby. -It already is your interest or hobby. So when they ask you at the Oxford interview: What is your hobby? you can say the cello and you won't be lying. But you don't have to practise a hobby. Can I stop going to the youth orchestra, then? No! The youth orchestra's good. That shows you're a joiner-inner. Yes, but I've already joined in. So now I can stop. No, that just shows the opposite. That shows you're a rebel. -They don't want that at Oxford. -Not people who think for themselves. -Jenny? Should I wear Sunday best? -Better, I'm afraid. Just to show my father you're un jeune homme serieux, not a Teddy Boy. God. Right. I'm going to go. It's going to bucket down in a minute. -I'll see you at the weekend. -Bye, then. Sorry. Goodbye, my love! Now look what you've done. -Come. The nice man's waiting for us. -lt fell off! -No, you kicked it off. Now, come on. -But my sock's all wet! Hello. If you had any sense, you wouldn't take a lift from a stranger, but I'm a music lover and I'm worried about your cello, so I propose to put it in my car and walk alongside me. How do I know you won't just drive off with the cello? Good point. How much does a new cello cost? 10, 15 pounds? Let's say 15. No? All right. Up to you. And that... -I'm David, by the way. -Jenny. -How did the concert go? -The concert's next Thursday. -What are you playing? -Elgar. I think it's a shame he spent so much time in Worcester. Worcester's too near Birmingham, and you can hear that in the music. There's a terrible Brummy accent in there, if you listen hard enough. -Elgar and the Jews don't mix well. -I'm not a Jew. No, I am. I wasn't accusing you. -Can I sit in the car with my cello? -Jump in. I've never seen a car like this before. C'est tres chic. It's a Bristol. Not many of them made. -Where to, madam? -I only live round the corner. -Worse luck. -I'll see what I can do. -Cellists must go to a lot of concerts. -We don't go to any concerts. -We don't believe in them. -They're real. -So people say. -Smoke? I'd better not. I live just up there. -Why don't we believe in them? -He'd say there's no point to them. -our father, this is? -Yes. They're just for fun. Apart from school concerts, which are no fun at all, so we go to those. They don't help you get on. Which is what's so wonderful about them. -Anyway, you'll go one day. -I know. I will. If I go to university I'm going to read what I want, listen to what I want, and I'm going to look at paintings and watch French films and I'm going to talk to people who know lots about lots. Good for you. Which university? Oxford. If I'm lucky. Did you go anywhere? I studied what they call the university of life. I didn't get a very good degree, though. Thank you for driving me home. -Are you all right? Have you got it? -Yes, it's fine. -Thank you. -My pleasure. I don't want to hear any French singing! French singing wasn't on the syllabus last time I looked! Battenberg? I actually like the crust. -So where are you applying, Graham? -I'm not sure yet. When will you be sure? You can't let the grass grow under your feet. -I might take a year off. -What for? Maybe do some travelling. That sort of thing. Travelling? What are you, a Teddy Boy? You know she's going to Oxford? If we get her Latin up to scratch. So while she's studying English at Oxford, you'll be the wandering Jew. Mr Mellor, I'm not a Teddy Boy. I'm an homme serieux jeune. No. Yeah! I'm a homme jeune serieux. A homme... -They're for me. -Who are they from? -Gosh. Him. -What's this? Jack, I'm afraid Jenny's been sent some flowers from a chap. -What kind of chap? -He's wishing me luck for tonight. -Where'd he get the money from? -He earns it, I expect. -Earns it? Why isn't he at school? -Can we just go? Otherwise the good luck flowers will be responsible for me missing the concert. -I don't like it. -Objection noted. Jenny? Noted. There's got to be 10 bob's worth of luck here. To much for a schoolgirl. We can't leave it here! Even I'd burgle a house with flowers left outside. They'll think we're made of money. Thank you, Marjorie. Camus doesn't want you to like him. Feeling is bourgeois. Being engagee is bourgeois. He kills someone, and he doesn't feel anything. His mother dies, and he doesn't feel anything. I wouldn't feel anything if my mother died. -Does that make me an existentialist? -No. That makes you a cow. Une vache. After I've been to university, I'm going to be French, and I'm going to Paris, and I'm going to smoke and wear black and listen to Jacques Brel, and I won't speak, ever. C'est plus chic comme ca. -Crikey! -What? Wait here. Hello! Hello. -Hello. Thank you. -How did it go? Fine, I think. I didn't mess my bit up. Nobody got thrown out of the orchestra afterwards. Always the mark of a cultural triumph. -What are you doing on Friday? -Going to school. -I meant in the evening. -Of course. Nothing. Because I'm going to listen to some Ravel in St John's Smith Square. My friends Danny and Helen would be coming, too, so it wouldn't be... I'll come and pick you up, and if your mother and father disapprove, then you can have the tickets and go with one of them. -How does that sound? -Thank you. I'd like to go with you. 7:00? Probably go for a spot of supper afterwards. -Supper? -If you want to. The thing is, we'll probably have eaten. If you'd like supper, then perhaps on Friday you could not eat? Yes. Of course. -A spot of supper? -You've heard of supper. We've heard of it, but we've never eaten it. So you're going to have to tell us everything. I won't allow it! Fine! He's more than happy for you to take me. -Fine, I will. -Where is it? -St John's Smith Square. -Where's that? -I'm sure we could find out. -In Westminster. Next to the Abbey. -How do you know that? -I had a life before we were married. -There you are. -Where are we? We're near Westminster Abbey. I'm not going all the way over there. There must be something on locally. Where's the paper? She wants to see someone who can play. I'll take her. And how do you propose to get there? RAF helicopter? -That's him. -Bloody hell! By the way, David's a Jew. A wandering Jew. So watch yourself. I've never said anything like that! It's just an expression. -I've got nothing against the Jews... -Glad to hear it. Hello. I didn't mean I've got nothing against you. No, of course I do mean that. Sorry, it's just that... You're not the sort of person that I would be against. I wouldn't, because I'm not the kind of person who would be against people. I'm Jack. This is my wife, Marjorie. You didn't tell me you had a sister, Jenny. Please. -You're a lucky man, Jack. -I suppose I am. -This is lovely. -Thank you. I'm sorry, David. Would you like a drink? I'd love one, Jack, but we're running a little late. If Jenny's ready, perhaps we'll shoot off? Actually, David, dad has something he has to tell you. No, really. It was just a question, a point of reference. What's the best way to get to St John's Smith Square from here? Up to Hammersmith, take the A4 through Kensington, you're there. -As simple as that? -As simple as that. -Shall I book us some tickets? -No. Have her back by 10:00, David. I was hoping she might come with me for a supper with my Aunt Helen. No... She's usually in bed by then. What if I promise to have her back by 11:30? It's Friday night, and you are going all the way to the West End. Thanks, Jack. I appreciate it. -Bye. -Bye-bye. Have a nice time. Hello, hello! Are we late? No, I thought we were going to miss the beginning, and we could all go off dancing or something. Helen is one of the more reluctant members of tonight's audience. Jenny, these are my friends, Helen and Danny. Shall we? -Sorry. -That's all right. Lovely, isn't it? It's beautiful. Where did you get it from? I don't know. Chelsea somewhere. Yours is... good for this sort of concert, isn't it? We should go shopping together one day... That would be nice. But Chelsea, c'est beaucoup trop cher pour moi. -Sorry? -I said It's too expensive for me. You said something completely different. -I said it in French. -ln French? Why? I don't know. Chelsea's too expensive for me, too, but we don't have to worry about that. If you want something in Chelsea, just get David to take you shopping. Why would David want to take me shopping? I booked a table at Juliette's. Will that kill the mood, do you think? I hope so! God, I always think I'm going to my own funeral when I listen to classical music. That was classical, wasn't it? Yes. Very classical. Juliette's it is, then. Heaven forbid we should end the evening reflecting on our own mortality. Miles Davis, Sartre... Extraordinary woman, Greco. Just like you, Helen. What about Chante Francoise Sagan? Have you heard that one? It's wonderful. I've only got... I think it's just called Juliette Greco. I saved up and got my French teacher to ing it back after Christmas. -You have a French teacher? -Yes. Is that why you suddenly speak French for no reason? Have you never heard her sing? She's marvellous. You should see her in Paris, though, not here. David will take you. -I'd love to. You'd fit right in. -Better than here, really. Isn't it wonderful to find a young person who wants to know things? There's so much I want you to see. Can you come at that Pem oke Villas place with me on Friday, Danny? I can't. There's a Burne-Jones coming up at Christie's on Friday. -Desperate to get my hands on it. -You're buying a real Burne-Jones? I just have a feeling the Pre-Raphaelites are going to take off. -I love the Pre-Raphaelites! -Do you? Rossetti and Burne-Jones, anyway. Not Holman Hunt, he's so garish. Absolutely. Why don't we all go to the auction together? -Auction! Gosh, how exciting. -It's Friday morning. -Friday. -You're busy? -Yes. -Tant pis. Quel dommage. C'est pas de probleme. -Are you sure you're busy? -No. I'm sure I could rearrange. That would be lovely. -What are you doing? -I can't get this casserole dish clean. It's 25 to 12:00. We finished tea at 7:00. I know what time it is. How was your evening? Best night of my life. Night, Mum. I think there were two violins, one cello, two violas, a harp... I don't want to hear about Ravel. What else was on the programme? He was a perfect gentleman. He wanted to take me places and show me things. Plural? My God! I knew that Jane Eyre would eventually work its magic on you. I'm assuming that's what you're all so animated about. -Jane Eyre and Jenny's new boyfriend. -He's not my new boyfriend. -He's got a sports car, Miss Stubbs! -It's maroon. So could we call him a Mr Rochester figure? I think he must be as blind as Mr Rochester. I'm trying to steer the subject away from Jenny's lurid love life. And it is clear that most of you know far too much about the former and next to nothing about the latter. Reluctantly, I have to admit that Jenny is clearly an expert on both. Excellent as always, Jenny. -Hello. -Hello. Any further bids? Sold, then, for 60 guineas. You're late. Lot 41. The Tree of Forgiveness by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, a rare opportunity to purchase a key work of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Who will start me off at 100 guineas? -That's the one? -Yes. Fifty guineas? Twenty guineas? Thank you. Forty? Thank you, sir. Do I hear 60? Eighty guineas? Thank you, sir. Another one, madam? 100 guineas? One hundred and twenty? -No further bids? -Your turn. -Any further bids? -Your turn. 120 guineas from the very eager new bidder. 140, madam? 160 guineas? 180? Thank you. 200 guineas? 220? Another one, madam? Sold for 200 guineas. Thank you. -Your name, please? -Mellor. Thank you very much. I couldn't possibly have bought it without you. Just a couple of years ago, you could pick one of them up for 50 quid. -No one was interested. -I would have been so interested. As you can see, I just love things. That's not a Lockey-Hill! There aren't many people who come in here and say that. -It's beautiful! Do you play? -I used to. I vowed to myself that one day I'd own one of these and now I do own one, I don't touch the bugger. -It's vulgar putting it on display. -Give it to Jenny. -That would be even more vulgar. -Play for us, Jenny. -One day, when I'm good enough. -She's good enough now. -David, you've never seen me play. -I can come and hear you in Oxford. We should all go and spend a weekend in Oxford. Straw boaters, punting, cream teas... antiquarian book shops. -Bit of business, if we can find it. -What about next weekend? -Yes. -I wouldn't be allowed to do that. I'll talk to them. You're going to ask my father if you can take me away for the weekend? -He'd have you arrested. -We'll see. -I bet you can't. -How much? Careful, Jenny. You don't know who you're dealing with. -Half a crown. -You're on. -How do you know Danny? -We kept bumping into each other. Then we became pals, and we've ended up doing business together. -What kind of business? -Property, a bit of art dealing. Some buying and selling. This and that. -Right. I'll just be two ticks. -Okay. -Mr Goldman, good to see you. -Jolly good. Madam... All right, I've got this one. And... Sorry about that. -How do you know those negro people? -They're clients. -Clients? -Schwartzers have to live somewhere. It's not as if they can rent off their own kind, is it? Test results for the Virgil translation. We'll start from the bottom. Patricia. Absent. Margaret, 48. Jenny! 52. That would just about scrape a pass in the exam proper. Not good enough for Oxford candidates. -It's her Latin, isn't it? -Everyone's doing their best, Jack. But what if everyone's best isn't good enough? What do we do then? Perhaps the whole thing's been a waste of money, anyway. What's she going to do with an English degree? If she's going to spend three years playing that bloody cello, talking in French to a some beatniks, I'm just throwing good money after bad. She might meet a nice lawyer there but she could do that at a dinner dance! Because that's the point of an Oxford education, isn't it, dad? It's the expensive alternative to a dinner dance. -What about private tuition? -Can anybody hear me? -How much is this going to cost me? -Five shillings an hour. We spend five bob here, we spend five bob there. -That's our savings down the drain. -And what else are we spending on? Nothing. All of this is free. This vase is free. It was a present from Auntie Vi. That chair, this sofa, it's all free. We didn't have to pay for any of it. That's the beauty of life, Jenny. You don't have to pay for anything. There's a lovely Oxford tree growing in the garden. And there's a whole orchard of school trees, so that school is free, and I think there's even a private tuition tree in there. It's all right, Marjorie. I'll only be a second, I think there's a whole clump of them surrounding the pocket money tree! I'll make sure they're all nice and safe, shall l? And there might be a man with deep pockets growing out there, because God knows you're going to need one! You can always go to secretarial college with Hattie. -Thanks. -Charming! -God. No. -Hello! -Hello, Graham. -I haven't seen you in ages. It went a bit wrong, didn't it? The tea party, I mean. -Was it because of the year off thing? -No! I just have so much work to do if I'm going to get the grades I need. Yeah, she doesn't have time for boys. -Bye, Graham! -Bye. And I'll tell you what the first thing my grandfather did when he retired... ... was to say to my grandmother when she expired. -You do all the Goons? -No, my Eccles is no good. -I can't do it... -Hello! Jenny. David does the most fantastic Bluebottle. -You came to see my parents? -Why is that so hard to imagine? Why are you drinking? It's not Christmas. You don't know a lot about us. We had a life before you came along. True. I'm only going on what I've seen for the last 16 years. I'm trying to think what you missed. Nothing much comes to mind. Anyway, I've got a huge pile of Latin translation to do. But you didn't tell us David went to Oxford. -No! I didn't. -For all the good it did me. -lsn't that funny? -Extraordinary. I was just telling Jack that I'm going back next weekend. I visit my old English professor every now and again. That's what you need, Jenny. Someone on the inside track. -It's not always what you know. -Too true. -Have you come across Clive Lewis? -Dad's never come across anyone. He wrote a children's book called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. -It did very well, I believe. -CS Lewis. To us he was just the old codger who taught Medieval Literature, but I came to know him very well. We just got along. -Jenny used to devour those books. -I'd love to meet him. Am I being slow on the uptake? Would Jenny like to come at the weekend? Not this weekend, but sometime, perhaps. Yes. -How often do you see him? -Not very. Every couple of years. -Maybe next time. -I suppose... Would she have to stay the night? I wouldn't recommend driving home after one of those Oxford dinners. Clive could get her a room at the college. It's easy enough. Seems like too good an opportunity to pass up. It wouldn't be a bother, would it, David? -Come on! -Just putting a few things in a bag! -Come on! -We're nearly ready! How can they only be nearly ready? I wouldn't be surprised if three of them came out of there. It's the only explanation. They're making themselves a friend. There, have a look in the corner. Open the door. You should keep that one, if you want it. -One can only wear so many in one day. -Thank you. What about tonight? Have you got a pretty enough nightie? -Won't I be sharing a room with you? -You haven't slept with him. -No. -Good for you. -Really? Do you think so? -Yes! You're only 16. -You don't want to get preggers. -No. I wouldn't let that happen. I want to wait until I'm 17. On my 17th birthday, hopefully. -With David? -It will be with David, won't it? If that's what you want. Anyway, I'll find you a nightie. Shall we make a move? -Can't we have a look around? -Later, if we have time. -lmagine spending three years here. -I know. Why are university girls so strange-looking? They can't all have started off that way, can they? Most girls aren't born ugly, but most girl students seem to be, so there must be something about these places that make you fat or spotty or short-sighted. That's proper scientific analysis. You can't argue with science. -What you gonna do when you get here? -I want to read English. -Books. -Sorry? You want to read English books. Reading English is just another way of saying... You're wasting your eath. Tomorrow we'll get more of a feel for the place. Absolutely. This place will be good for a little business. All those little old ladies wandering around. -This place is rife with stats. -Please explain what stats are. -lt isn't very interesting. -But you two are interested. That's because we're not very interesting, either. That's why we need you here. To save us from ourselves. To put some intelligence and culture into our utal lives. -Sing to us! -Please don't make me sing for you. Please don't make us talk about work. So, now, is he Clive, do you think, or CS? -I thought you made him up. -No, we... Never mind. To dear Jenny, with the pleasure of meeting you. Come and see me again soon, Clive Dirty old man. We've got these exact same curtains at home. Let's not talk about curtains. -You look beautiful. -David... There's something you should know. I'm a virgin, and I want to stay that way until I'm 17. I think that's good. I think that's right. We can still be romantic, though, can't we? Yes, of course. As long as it's not actually... -Minnie. -Is that me? Yes. You're my Minnie Mouse and I'm your Bubbalub. If that's what you want to do. -Minnie. -Yes, David? Bubbalub. May I have a look? Just a peek. You just want to see them? Thank you. I think there's a house for sale around here. Might be worth a look. -Jenny! -Aren't you coming? -We don't go in. -What are you talking about? Why don't you go and get a nice cup of tea somewhere? -Helen will look after you. -I don't need looking after. I'm not going to tell you a second time. Run along. -They won't be long, either way. -Either way? Sometimes they find something and sometimes they don't. And when they do find something, we often have to leave quite quickly. They can be quite naughty sometimes. Thank you! Bye! Careful... Come on. -Helen! -Pass it back. Good! -Jenny! -What? You can stand there if you like, but I wouldn't recommend it. Jenny! Sorry about being a little isk back there, Jenny. It's just the way we do things. Silly, really. Here, don't forget your case. -Who's coming up for a drink? -Me! No. You go. I'll make my own way home. Jenny. Jenny! It's an old map. A Speed. The poor dear didn't even know what it was. What a waste! It shouldn't spend its life on a wall in wherever we were. It should be with us. We know how to look after it properly. -We liberated it. -Liberated? That's one word for it. Don't be bourgeois, Jenny. You're better than that. You drink everything I put in front of you down in one, then you slam your glass down on the bar and ask for more. It's wonderful. We're not clever like you, so we have to be clever in other ways, because if we weren't, there would be no fun. We have to be clever with maps and... You want to know what stats are? Stats are old ladies who are scared of coloured people. So we move the coloureds in and the old ladies move out, and I buy their flats cheap. That's what I do. So now you know. And if you don't like it, I'll understand, and you can go back to Twickenham and listen to the Home Service and do your Latin homework, but the weekends, and the restaurants and the concerts don't grow on trees. This is who we are, Jenny. That's better. Come on, you two! You can have my olive! I suppose you have homework to do? You have no idea how boring everything was before I met you. Action is character, our English teacher says. I think it means that if we never did anything, we wouldn't be anybody. And I never did anything before I met you. Sometimes I think no one's ever done anything in this whole stupid country, apart from you. -Okay. -Right. Marjorie, look at this! -Clive. Lucky girl! -Never a dull moment with David! Better than that young man you ought home for tea. -David's a lot older than Graham. -Graham could live 200 years. You'll never see him swanning around with famous authors. Graham might become a famous author. Becoming one isn't the same as knowing one. That shows you're well connected. Very impressive young man, your David. Life's a little ighter with him around. -What the hell are those? -Russian So anies. Where did they come from? She probably bought them from the Savoy, or Claridge's, or the opera or some fancy nightclub. Who knows with Jenny? -Paris. You can't buy them here. -You never bought them yourself? -No, I never. -Shut up, you stuck-up cow. But I'll ing you some back, if you like. -You are joking? -Non. -He's taking you to Paris? -Oui. -This term? -Peut-etre. Wait. Isn't it your birthday next Thursday? -Might be. -My God. Your birthday? I would not like to be you. All those suppers you've had off him? You've such a Victorian attitude to sex, you two. -Your parents wouldn't let you. -We haven't told them yet. But David will come up with some story. He usually does. I've noticed that. Chanel perfume, Chanel perfume. Chanel lipstick, Chanel lipstick. Those funny cigarettes you were smoking? Ten packets each. How much is the Chanel perfume? Are you the girl going to Paris, or are you not, because... Tina, top button. Jenny, the headmistress wants a word with you. The legend of Mr Rochester may have travelled further than you intended. Come... Miss Mellor. We're all very excited about your forthcoming trip to Paris. Our excitement knows no bounds. Some of us can talk of little else. An older man, I understand? A word of warning, Miss Mellor. There may well have been the odd sixth-form girl who has lost an important part of herself, while under our supervision. If we are made aware of that loss, then the young lady in question would have to continue her studies elsewhere. Do I make myself clear? -Can I go now? -lf you would. -What are you doing in there? -Lighting the candles on my cake. You're 17, not 250. -Thanks for inviting me. -It was Marjorie's idea, not mine. Not even Jenny's, for that matter. Blow them out before the house burns down. -Who'd like a piece? -Me, please. Come on. Presents. It's a new Latin dictionary. -Thank you. I needed a new one. -Dear! Got a... Snap! -Good grief! Jenny, see this! -It's a special day. -She's a special girl! -I know it. Bit of help! Makes your dictionary look a bit feeble, eh, Graham? And these are for you. Hello, young man! -David, would you like a drink? -I'd love one. I'd best be going, 'cause I've got a stack of homework to do, so... -Thank you. Bye. -Cheers. -Bye, Mr Mellor. -Cheerio, Graham. Wonderful to see you, Graham. -Goodbye, Jenny. -Bye, Graham. -A little something warming? -You know me so well. Before you open that lot, I've got a surprise. Next weekend, we're all going to Cafe de Flore to cele ate Jenny's birthday. Lovely! Cafe de Flore is in the Boulevard St Germain, in Paris. -What do you mean, Paris? -You know the one, Dad. No, we don't have any French money. And besides, it's too... I don't think it would agree with me. -Dad! -The French don't like us, Jenny. John Sutton, from work, he went there last year. They were very rude to him. I don't want to spoil anyone's fun, but it's just not for me, Europe. -You'll have to go another time. -You've said you don't like Europe. So what's going to change? It'll have to be Europe, because it won't be you. -I'll take her. -To the continent? -Why not? -And leave me here on my own? For God's sake! What do you think? You know what Jenny's like about France, Jack. -French films and books and music. -Of course I do. Sorry, yes. She's your daughter. Jenny likes to joke about how you're a stick-in-the-mud but I know that's not who you are. Otherwise, she wouldn't be who she is. But I can also see that I have acted out of turn, and I'm sorry. What about your Aunt Helen? -An hour late. -We'll make it. I promise. Okay, there's a flight at 8:00 in the morning. -There's no bed. -I got us a suite. If work stops us from getting to Paris until tomorrow, then work can buy us a nice hotel room. Anyway, it's a special occasion. I'd have thought tonight, of all nights, we'd only need a bed. Hold on, one second. I've got something. -I thought we might practise with this. -With a banana? I thought we might get the messy bit over with first. David! I don't want to lose my virginity to a piece of fruit! I'm sorry. I think the moment might have gone. I think we should wait until Paris. I'm sorry. Minnie... I'm an idiot. I'm sorry. David, if tomorrow night does happen, it's only ever going to happen once. Why will it only ever happen once? Because the first time can only ever happen once. So... no baby talk. No Minnie. Just treat me like a grown-up. Okay? I know. Let's go and sit in our sitting room. All right. We'll order up some champagne. Room service? Do you still feel like a schoolgirl? -It wasn't too uncomfortable? -Not after the first bit. It's funny, though, isn't it? All that poetry and songs about something that lasts no time at all. All your exercise books on my desk in a pile, please. I bought this for you. That's very kind of you. -But I can't accept it. -Why not? It's because of people like you I plough through illiterate essays by Sandra Lovell about her pony. But I know where this came from, Jenny, and if I took it, I feel I would be betraying both of us. Jenny? You can do anything you want. You know that. You're clever, and you're pretty. Is your boyfriend interested in clever, Jenny? I'm not quite sure what you're trying to tell me. Go to Oxford, no matter what. If you don't, you'll eak my heart. -Where did you go? -Cam idge. You're clever and you're pretty, so presumably clever Miss Stubbs won and here you are with your pony essays. These last few months, I've eaten in wonderful restaurants and been to jazz clubs and watched wonderful films, heard beautiful music. -Jenny, are you taking precautions? -It's nothing to do with that. Maybe all our lives are going to end up with pony essays, or housework. And, yes, maybe we'll go to Oxford, but if we're all going to die the moment we graduate, isn't it what we do before that counts? I'm sorry you think I'm dead. -I don't think you're dead... -Better go to your next class. -Well done, Jenny! -I've never won anything before! I always bet on the sweetest looking one and he always comes last. -Can we do it again? I'm feeling lucky. -Come on, I don't want to miss him. -Pick up your 10 bob on the way out. -I won 10 shillings! Who is this man? -Peter Rachman. Complete bastard. -Why do we have to see him here? He's not the sort of chap with an office. Ladies. A bottle of your finest champagne. There he is. Come on, Jenny, tell them your good news. Don't be bashful. Jenny got two As and a B in her mock A-levels. Like everyone else in this sophisticated establishment. -The B was in Latin. -Seriously, congratulations. -Don't worry too much. -About what? Someone told me that in 50 years, no one will speak Latin, probably. Not even Latin people. So don't worry about your B. He's even more of a bastard than I thought. You wouldn't want him to marry your sister. You do know what you're doing, old chap? With Jenny? -This is the one, Danny. -Right. -You can see she's different. -I just don't want to see her hurt. Have you bought any more paintings recently? Yes! Picked up a little Piper. Good one, I think. I'm still trying to work out what makes good things good. It's hard, isn't it? The thing is, Jenny, you know. Without necessarily being able to explain why. You have taste. That's not half the battle. That's the whole war. -Jenny, we should go. It's late. -Really? One day school will be over forever and we can talk about art all night. -You're all right in a taxi? -Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go. Come on. Good night. Wait here. David, what are you looking for? What are you doing? -Will you marry me? -What were you looking for? I thought I had a ring. It wouldn't have been the right one, but it would have done for tonight. I'm serious. -You're very sweet. -What do you think? -Take me home. -All right. They need some looking after, but nothing that'll require too much work. Just leave them in your potting shed and they'll look after themselves. Fine, the potting shed. Who does he think I am, Prince Rainier of Monaco? What if I got married instead of going to college? -Married? -Married. -It would depend on who it was. -Would it? That's interesting. I wouldn't want you married off just for the sake of it. -Has somebody asked you? -Yes. -Who? David? -No. A man I just met walking his dog. -What did you tell him? -Nothing yet. -You have a choice, or is it too late? -Of course she's got a choice! An interesting one, too, eh? This is where you're supposed to say, But what about Oxford?. You wouldn't really need to go now, would you? I wouldn't need to go? Would you like to expand on that? -You'd be looked after. -All that Latin. All those essays! What was the point? Why didn't you send me prowling round nightclubs? I don't know about nightclubs, I know about education. Anyway, looks like it might have turned out for the best. He wouldn't want you if you were thick. May not an ass know when the cart draws the horse? Whoop, Jug! I love thee... When it says sings, it means you sing the line. Never mind. Right. Lear. Does any here know me? This is not Lear. Does Lear walk thus? Speak thus? Where are his eyes? Ha! Waking? Who is it that can tell me who I am? Miss! Me. I can. -Jenny. -What? -Take it off. -My God! Is that what I think it is? I'm going to be a idesmaid! -You know the rule on jewellery. -Half the girls are wearing jewellery. But none of it's going to ruin their lives. We have a difference of opinion about that. How far advanced are these ridiculous plans? Have you set a date? Have you decided on a church? We won't be getting married in a church. David's Jewish. Jewish? He's a Jew? You are aware, I take it, that the Jews killed our Lord? And you're aware, I suppose, that our Lord was Jewish? I suppose he told you that. We're all very sorry about what happened during the war, but that's no excuse for that malicious and untruthful propaganda. I see you're far more in need of responsible advice than I realised. Nobody does anything worth doing without a degree. Nobody does anything worth doing with a degree. No woman, anyway. What I do isn't worth doing? Or what Miss Stubbs does, or Mrs Wilson? None of us would be here without a degree. And yes, of course, studying is hard and boring... I'm sorry? Studying is hard and boring. Teaching is hard and boring. So what you're telling me is to be bored, and then bored and finally, bored again for the rest of my life? This whole stupid country is bored. There's no life in it, colour or fun. It's probably as well the Russians are going to drop a nuclear bomb on us. So my choice is to do something hard and boring, or to marry my Jew and go to Paris and Rome and listen to jazz and read and eat good food in nice restaurants and have fun. It's not enough to educate us any more, Mrs Walters. You've got to tell us why you're doing it. It doesn't have to be teaching. There's the Civil Service. I don't wish to be impertinent, but it is an argument worth rehearsing. Someone else might want to know the point of it all one day. -Where did you find him? -I can't tell you that. I think he likes you. Do you like her? You don't remember? It's Jenny. You remember her from last time. Naughty thing. You... Pardon? That's revolting! You stick to your own species. He wants to kiss you, I think. Is that naughty? -We're engaged. -No! Really? Engaged? -Show her. -Yes! Look. -That's fantastic news! -Thank you. Congratulations. I knew you'd see sense about university. You'll stay pretty now. -Can I still read? -Of course. Magazines will do just as well, and you learn more from them, anyway. You won't be laughing, David, when she goes all speccy and spotty. Danny didn't seem very pleased about our engagement. I thought he might be a bit jealous. -Jealous? -We're going to keep him away from you. What is one supposed to order as a starter, anyway? And how will I know what is a starter and what isn't? We've been through this, Dad. It'll be quite clearly marked on the menu. Can't the three of you just go on your own and leave me here? Hello. Ready? I think you'll like this place, Jack. Their wine list is as good as anything I've seen in London. -Someone told me that. -David, probably. Who else? -Madame. -I was hoping you'd take us in this. You won't want to drive in anything else after tonight. Mind you, it drinks petrol. We'll have to stop on the way into town. -I feel like Eamonn Andrews. -Is that a good thing? Eamonn Andrews is the poshest person that Jack can imagine being. -How are you tonight, sir? -Very well. Might as well fill her up. I'm going to make a quick call. I'll be two ticks. Do you think I should offer to help pay for the petrol? Would he be insulted, do you think? I know he said tonight was his treat, but does that apply to the petrol? I'm sure it does, Jack. It just came off. -Put it on my bill. -Thank you, sir. -Jenny? Jenny... -Take us home. -What's wrong? -Jenny's had a bit of a shock. It's just another one of David's little muddles and misunderstandings. I don't want to hear another word from anybody. Take us home. Now. -You can take care of this, David? -Go inside, Dad. Mr and Mrs David Goldman, Mr and Mrs David Goldman... -You're married! -Legally, yes, but l... -When were you going to tell me? -Soon. It's just never seemed like the right time. You seemed so happy and I was happy and... You were living with your wife all this time. Round the corner! It's no wonder we kept bumping into each other, is it? -What number? -34. Don't be like this. Come on. I have nothing. I didn't take my exams. I left school! -Where's it all gone now? -I can get a divorce. Everything will turn out for the best. Go and tell them. -And then go and tell your wife. -They won't listen now. I'll come round tomorrow, when everyone's feeling a bit calmer. Please don't make me tell them on my own. You owe me that much. -You owe them that much. -I owe them much more than that. Two minutes, and then I'll come out and drag you in. What's going on? He's helping himself to some Dutch courage before facing you. Stolen Dutch courage, from the look of it. He has something he has to tell you. He just drove off! Can you tell us? Jenny, please! I wouldn't worry about it too much. When I found out... Not now, Helen. I tried to tell him. I'm not speaking to him now, if that's any consolation. It's a funny world you people live in. You both watched me carrying on with a married man without saying anything. If you want that conversation... You watched David and l help ourselves to a map and didn't say much, either. Come on, you, let's go. Good boy. Hello. Hello. I think I've got the wrong number. I was looking for my... I wanted... For my cello lesson. No. Don't tell me. Good God. You're a child. You didn't know about any of this, presumably? No. They never do. You're not in the family way, are you? Because that's happened before. Thank God for that. No. You stay here. -Did you see her? -Yes. -I didn't talk to her. -We have to have this out. If you won't do it, I will. I'm still your father. You're my father again now? What were you when you encouraged me to throw my life away? Silly schoolgirls are always getting seduced by glamorous older men. But what about you two? Jenny? Jenny, I'm sorry. I know I've made a mess of everything. All my life I've been scared and I didn't want you to be scared. That's why I wanted you to go to Oxford. And then along came David and he knew famous writers, he knew how to get to classical music concerts... But he wasn't who he said he was. He wasn't who you said he was, either. The other day, your mother and I were listening to a programme on the radio about CS Lewis, and they said that he'd moved to Cam idge in 1954. I said: They've got that wrong. Our Jenny wouldn't have his name in her book if he'd moved to Cam idge. There's a cup of tea and some biscuits out here. How do you think we can help? I want to repeat my last year at school and take my exams. I got the impression you didn't see the point of school, or of me, or of any of us here. I know. I was stupid. The life I want, there's no shortcut. I know now that I need to go to university. It gives me absolutely no pleasure whatsoever to see our young schoolgirls throwing their lives away. Although, of course, you are not one of our schoolgirls any more. -You think I'm a ruined woman. -You're not a woman. The offer of a place at this school would be wasted on you. Come in. I didn't expect to see you again. This is lovely. All your books and pictures and... -Paperbacks and postcards, Jenny. -That's all you need, isn't it? Just somewhere to... I'm sorry I said those silly things. I didn't understand. Let's forget about it. -A Burne-Jones. -Do you like him? I do. Still. Still? You sound very old and wise. I feel old, but not very wise. Miss Stubbs, I need your help. I was so hoping that's what you were going to say. Thank you, Marjorie. It's from Oxford. lt is my pleasure to inform you that your application to read English at Oxford has been accepted. On behalf of the Faculty of Arts, the staff of the university look forward to welcoming you... So I went to read English books, and did my best to avoid the speccy, spotty fate that Helen had predicted for me. I probably looked as wide-eyed, fresh and artless as any other student. But I wasn't. One of the boys I went out with, and they really were boys, once asked me to go to Paris with him. And I told him I'd love to, I was dying to see Paris, as if I'd never been. Subtitling GRETE MULLER AN EDUCATION
Well, goooooood... evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening. And to a greater or lesser extent, good evening, and welcome to QI, where tonight we'll be delving into the seedy world of journalism. Before we start sexing up the facts, let's look at who's going to be on my press-gang. Hold the front page, it's Shappi Khorsandi! Drop the dead donkey, it's Ross Noble. Another world exclusive, Johnny Vegas! And, personally responsible for eating Freddie Starr's hamster, Alan Davies. Now, before we press on, let's hear their buzzers. Shappi goes... That's newsy. Ross goes... Quite newsy, too. Johnny goes... And Alan goes... Very pleasing. - That's great! - So you've actually given...? It's A Knockout, yeah. You've given us the It's A Knockout theme? Yeah. So at any point we can play that and just wrestle around in that pit? I could go HA-HA-HA-HA! Then every time I press mine, something terrible will happen. Yes, well, yes... I can't press my buzzer at all, in case there's a tsunami. A volcano has killed the population of Sunderland. Anyway, let's start. What kind of person lived here? Yes, already the tragic tones. Initially, you think a very angry person that's quite small. Yes. Small-minded, or just small? It did genuinely exist, this Daily Mail model village. This was after the First World War, when housing was in short supply and we were trying to build a land fit for heroes... And it was made entirely of Daily Mail papier mâché, was it? Copies of the Daily Mail? Well, the Daily Mail was never shy about trying to draw attention to itself with publicity stunts of all kinds - athletic stunts, firsts in aviation, and so on. It was the Daily Mail that sponsored Amy Johnson to fly to Australia, for example. And they decided that they would lead the world, because this was the way they ran in those days, and they thought they would contribute to a model village. I can see that, like if they go, Let's have an air race, let's try and cross the Atlantic, they're all quite... ..like that. And, er... - But then, model village... - But then... You know, it's the sort of thing where, like, Richard Branson said, I'm going to send a rocket to the moon and I'm going to take people, and they go, Wow, Branson's amazing! We're gonna fly... And when we get here, I'm going to build a model village! Well, I suppose you have to go back to after 1919, all those people wiped out by Spanish flu, before that all the people wiped out by the First World War, and the Daily Mail thought we needed a new, modern Britain with new, modern cities, and so they devised this village which they thought was going to be absolutely marvellous. But the plans were a little overambitious, and they were overtaken by the... Guardian village. The company who owned the land around and who named this new town Welwyn Garden City. There it was, the Daily Mail model village at Welwyn Garden City, 1922. It's a good job it wasn't the Sunday Sport model village, because it would be the Well-In Garden City! Check out the fronts of those houses! Oooh, that's total frontage! - Oooh, look at the gates on... - And there is always the back alley, too! Oh, dear. Er... That is a rubbish model village, it's clearly full-size. Yeah. Did the Daily Mail believe in giants, and there was a readership that they were missing out on? So they built a model village that was normal size, so giants would visit and go, Oh, it's tiny! Oh, look at the attention to detail! Don't forget model has two meanings - there's model in the sense of a paragon, a model of its kind. - That's what they meant by it. - It's got three meanings, hasn't it? Because model village everyone just walks around like that. The high street is called The Catwalk, yeah. - Everyone's just in their pants. - That's true! I have to say, I weep when I think of my childhood and the amount of time we spent around a model village... - Oh, Bekonscot? -...and what kids have today. Yeah. They've got so much, and my mum and dad were going, Look at that, it's Big Ben but this big, and we'd go, Wow. Your dad didn't drink. My dad would go to a model village, drink and go, I'm King Kong! And just start smashing stuff! Oh, how we'd laugh! You know why I can't go to model villages? Cos when you walk around, because of the painted faces, they all look like people who've been trapped by witchcraft. - Yes, they do, don't they? - Help, get me out of here! I'm not really queuing for a newspaper. And I come home, shrouded in guilt, and drink. I don't know enough about the dark arts to make them all fully-sized. If only you could save them. The fact is the Daily Mail's model village didn't work. They were bought up by the Welwyn Garden City Company, who eventually built 41 houses on the six acres and renamed it Meadow Green. So it was no longer Daily Mail Village. Tell me about the Daily Mail, who founded the Daily Mail? - Lord Beaver ook. - Satan. Not Lord Beaver ook, that's The Express. Satan is closer. Was it just a load of beavers in a ook? No, it's a family that still exists and still controls the group. Is it the Patak family? No, it's not the Pataks. That would be great! - That would be pleasing. - If we found out the spice dynasty... It was founded in 1896 by Alfred Harmsworth, who later became Lord Northcliffe. So, Alfred Harmsworth was a great showman and he had a illiant gift for making Daily Mail readers think they kind of owned The Mail, so he was always having competitions asking them how The Mail could be improved, for example. There were people who wrote in and said You should perforate your articles so we could tear them out, like stamps, which is an interesting idea. Are you sure that wasn't for toilet paper? Someone else suggested each page should be perfumed differently, so it smelt different. And chip paper, too. What if you confused the chip paper with the toilet paper? Madness would ensue. - Yeah. - But before he was a press baron, he actually wrote a rather QI-style book, which had the marvellous title of Answers To Correspondents On Every Subject Under The Sun. The first edition contained articles with headlines, What The Queen Eats, How To Cure Freckles, and Why Jews Don't Ride Bicycles. And those three answers covered everything? Yeah, well... - That wasn't the sum of the questions. - Oh, right. But part of the showman in him was that he guaranteed that, if you died with a copy of that book on you, your estate would get £200. If you come from a family like mine where they tend to drown themselves, that's the preferred suicide... Right... ...without scuba gear, how are you going to get down there to plant the book? I love the fact that he said That's the PREFERRED method! Like they've gone... Oh, I've got to do the old suicide, but... Well there's been a couple of sloppy ones. Has there? Yeah, coating themselves in dog food, you know, going to the zoo... Good God! I mean, the ones who've really thought it through. - Oh, dear, dear, dear. - It's not just been a last-minute... Lions! Shouldn't it be cat food? For the lions. You walk into the lions' enclosure covered in dog food... Ross, they haven't thought it through! Or else they would drown themselves. In Japan... Sorry. What they've introduced on the underground, because of the delays of people killing themselves is the family get billed, and the further out of the city that you kill yourself by jumping on their version of the Underground, the less money you have to pay, so everybody's been going right out to... ...like High Barnet and places like that. Honestly! To top themselves... At least he had the taste to kill himself at Cockfosters! Yeah. - Have you got any happy stories?! - No... If you go to Clifton Suspension Bridge, there's a sign as you get to the idge with the phone number of the Samaritans. Yeah. Just in case anyone's thinking of jumping off. And then no telephone. It really makes me think that if you are feeling that way, you're going to think Well, that's just typical of my luck! Wasn't there somebody... I might be making this up. Who used to hang around at Beachy Head... Which is a common suicide spot. - Yeah, and talk people out of it. - Yes, indeed. - There's priests walking around. - Yeah. Priests, and ordinary good, kind people, yeah. But the thing about Beachy Head is that I've been on to Beachy Head when I've say, had a gig in Brighton, and if you just want to have a little sit-down, and have a little think, people panic. I had the police come up to me. Yeah. Because it is such a popular suicide spot. Yeah, I was just having a little bit of a read. I think it was a bit attention seeking of me, if I'm honest. To be honest I was quite down. Were you dangling your legs over the edge(?) Choking myself! I'm fine, I'm absolutely fine. Now, listen to this obituary, and let me know what kind of person is being described. He was a tireless raconteur, who gave colourful accounts of his exploits, but did not suffer fools gladly. An uncompromisingly direct ladies' man, he was affable and hospitable at every hour, but he did not uphold the highest ethical standards of the City. Sounds like a bit of a wrong 'un. Yes. Because they're all things that you kind of... I've got a problem with that expression, - Didn't suffer fools gladly. - You've put your finger on it. Who does? I don't know, who does suffer fools gladly? Who goes on, Brilliant, there's a fool, I wanna spend the weekend with it? You have, you're on my team. You've put your finger on it, Shappi. The point is, all those phrases are what used to be obituary code, and basically you had to translate it. A tireless raconteur means a crashing bore. Is it Nick Clegg? It's not one individual, it's just these different things. Affable and hospitable at every hour, or simply convivial - a drunk. Basically, a terrible drunk. Uncompromisingly direct ladies' man. A serial groper. You'd also get, Devoted much of his time to the Boys' Brigade and the Boy Scouts. That also tells you a lot about such figures. Gave colourful accounts of his exploits. - Liar. - Liar, exactly. Did not uphold the highest ethical standards of the City. Thief. Yeah, fraudster, basically. Exactly. And Did not suffer fools gladly. Intolerant! - A total shit, exactly. - Yes. A howling shit. And these were the codes, and you read the obituaries and you kind of understood what was being said about them. The longest Times newspaper obituary was 60,000 words. Who do you think for? - Was it...? - Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria's the right answer, well done. Good man! Point! Very good. That's very good, very good. But can you name anyone who's actually read his own, premature obituary? Has anyone ever read their own obituary while being alive? There's a weird thing about... You know Frankie Howerd, and... - Benny Hill. - and Benny Hill died on the same day, and they rang up Benny Hill to say... Can you... This is apparently true, right. Don't laugh, like... This is death! I'm not inviting YOU to my funeral! Apparently they rang up Benny Hill to get a quote about the death of Frankie Howerd, and his agent couldn't get a hold of him, so she made up a quote. But he'd already died. And he was at home, you know, in his flat, and then the TVs were already oadcasting his thing on the death of somebody else, and he was already dead. That's such a typical agent thing, to not realise you're dead! My wife used to work for an agency, and one of their clients, who was called Rory, passed away. But she, mistakenly, thought it was Rory McGrath. So for about a week, every time somebody rang for Rory McGrath, she'd say... I'm so sorry... And they would say, But I only saw him on Tuesday! He seemed so well! I had a friend who ran an agency like that, and her now ex-husband, who wasn't the most sensitive type, one of the clients, somebody rang up, rang the house and obviously said she'd passed away. And he just left a note on the fridge saying, Mrs Johnson, own ead. And so she went shopping! Oh, no! - He thought that she needed groceries! - Oh, dear. There are two stories, one was that Alfred Nobel read his own obituary and was described as being a merchant of death because he invented... - Dynamite. - Dynamite, yes, exactly. And he was so horrified, and he wasn't dead, that he instituted the Nobel Prizes in order to try and reclaim his name. That is not, in fact, a true story, it's a myth. The other one is Marcus Garvey, the Jamaican black nationalist, apparently died as a result of reading his obituary. He had a stroke when he read the Chicago Defender newspaper, which printed his obituary describing him as oke, alone and unpopular. Which was terribly sad. - That's like Googling yourself. - Yeah. Mine would just say, It's safe to come out now. He's gone, honest. It would have: Friends who knew him said, 'Yes, he really WAS like that.' I did say, the other day, I was driving through Islington, and there was a hearse slowing everything down, and I did say to my wife, If it's my funeral, tell the bloke driving the hearse to step on it, I would not... Vroom! Instead of having a coffin, as well, just have the body so that as you're going round the corners you're slamming against... Get some chickens... Get some chickens in a cage and some boxes to drive through, just make it look like... - Like an A-Team finale. - Yeah! What music do you want your coffin to go...? - When your coffin disappears? - The Sweeney theme. That would be a good one. - When my dad... - The end music when it's really slow. When the foot presses on the accelerator. I'd quite like the music from 'Allo, 'Allo with You have been watching... and my body like that. You know one of the most popular ones is the Countdown theme. When my dad died, he was a big fan of sailing, so we gave him a Viking send off. We put his ashes in a boat and tried to set fire to it. But, cos it was in the North Sea, it wouldn't light... And... So what we did was, we were trying to fill the boat full of his ashes, and we were going, Do you tip the ashes straight into the boat, or do you put them in bags? And my mum, who's ever practical, she went, I've got some sandwich bags, I'll get some sandwich bags. So we packed them in the boat, and the we went out to sea, then off he went and shot off into the distance. Was it a remote-controlled boat? - It was, yeah! Like a proper big yacht. - You're joking! No, seriously. You sent your dad off with four double-As? Yeah, we did! Keep going until the batteries run out! Going around in circles! You're there with an air rifle, like that. And the people from the miniature village were going, Help that man! Someone, help him! A little lifeboat comes out. Did you not argue over who used the remote control? That wouldn't work in our family. Give it here, you're doing it wrong! He was my dad, too! Give us a go! The word dignity is not the first... This is the thing, that's EXACTLY what he would have wanted, and I've said the same thing - like Hunter S Thompson, when he died, he was put in a cannon and fired off across the valley he used to own, and what I'd quite like to do is be put in pepper spray, and then people that I don't like I'm going to get my wife to go Fffft! like that. Face full of Noble! Oh my God, how did we get here? I can't even remember. The fact is, no matter how many character flaws you have, you can be sure they'll be euphemistically dealt with in your obituary. Journalists are not above a bit of muck-raking, of course, but can you describe the most expensive piece of shit to come out of a British bank? Is it some sort of fossilised, dinosodic poo in the...? How extraordinary you are, Ross Noble. For 20 minutes you've been gibbering like an idiot... ...suddenly you've come up with a illiant answer. You're absolutely right. The only way you could be righter is if you could give me a technical name for fossilised shit. Is there going to be faeces in the thing? Well, yes, you can call it palaeonto- faeces, or you can call it coprolite. Copra is shit in Latin. Coprolite sounds like a chocolate bar. It does, rather, doesn't it? Not a very nice one. But it was a Lloyds Bank in York, of all places, and they found this period poo in 1972. It was 23 centimetres long, five centimetres wide, a human poo. It was a Viking poo. Did they find this within the bank, or was this...? I'm taking it it was a staff day out. It was found under the anch, this, sort-of, stone hanging down... To be honest, it just looks like an old Wotsit to me. It does, but when you examine it more closely you will see it is a poo, and you can actually even determine what was eaten, and that is cereal an, so they were quite healthy and regular, and hence the... I wouldn't say it's the most normal looking stool I've ever seen... So you're telling me that every time I go to the loo I am flushing away millions? In future I'm going to go to my bank and have a shit there. But I'm going to tag it so that my family in future... You're going to walk in and say, I'm just going to make a deposit. Oh dear, oh dear. The poo's discoverer, Andrew Bones Jones, said, This is the most... The most exciting piece of excrement I've ever seen. In its own way, it's as valuable as the Crown Jewels. There was another exciting coprolite that was discovered. It was a T-Rex turd that was found in Saskatchewan in 1998, and that was 17 inches long and six inches thick. And that was reckoned to be a bit of it knocked off, that the actual turd would have been even bigger. How did they know? Was there a dead T-Rex next to it that had pooed itself to death? It was found reaching for the toilet roll with its tiny claws. - How does it wipe...? - All T-Rex's died of frustration, cos they couldn't get round to wipe. Coprolites are not everybody's cup of tea, collecting fossilised turds... - People like poo, though. - They do like poo, don't they? They do like poo, they like drawing with poo. I went to someone's house and they had this elephant poo painting. But when communication eaks down, it does make a bold statement if we're being honest. When you write something on the wall, like, Call me a taxi... they do do it, honestly. You know like one of them parties when you've had enough? You write on the wall with your own faeces, people start listening to you! You've just got to do one big enough to go, I was not fond of the cheesecake... ...and considering you're out of vodka and I'm low on turd, I would like to go home NOW. The odd thing is when the forensic scientists come in and find out that it was Johnny Vegas's poo, but it was Lorraine Kelly's handwriting. Yeah, but the diction was perfect, and even the sweetcorn was used for little commas. Oh, now! Now, there's the line! We've found the line. You've crossed a boundary. Are you finding you're not selling as much Tupperware at these parties? I don't mean to keep it in that area, but I will. My wife once had, you know those bath bomb things? - You know those things? - Oh, yes. Yes - She had one of those. - Yeah, the fizzy ones. Yeah, and it fizzes upp, lass grenades I call them. You chuck them in the bath and they fizz up and fill the bath with glitter, and I didn't realise, went in the bath, and quite a lot of glitter had gone in my... ...in my bum, and I didn't realise, and I did a poo, and I looked into the toilet, and it was sparkling, right... I, honestly, for a minute I thought I had a magic arse. I honestly did. Yeah. That was lovely. That's a beautiful story. Anyway, moving on. What's the name of the highly fortified building where most of the gold in America is kept? Aww! Now, don't do it, don't do it. - Yes? - The Beckhams' house? The Beckham house is a good answer. Most of the gold in America is kept in a single place. Is this a double bluff and it IS going to be Fort Knox? It's not Fort Knox, no. Nearly twice as much gold is at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, which is their equivalent of the Bank of England. They have there about 7,000 tonnes of bullion, and in Fort Knox, they've got no more than around 4,500 tonnes - which is not quite half, but... - A pittance! ...it's still a lot. But they've had some interesting things in Fort Knox apart from gold. They've had one of the great English treasures. - If I were to say the year... - Oh, Thora Hird? Not Thora Hird. I'll say the year 1215 to you. Does that...? - The Magna Carta. - Very good. They had the Magna Carta in Fort Knox for some short time. They also stored the crown, sword, sceptre, orb and cape of Saint Stephen, King of Hungary was stored there and then returned to the government in Hungary in 1978. Was it like a cloakroom? Did he come in? Oh, all right, take the cape! There's me orb. Then he lost his ticket and they wouldn't give it back. Really annoyed. Honestly, I am the King of Hung... Let me try the crown on, it's a perfect fit, I promise. And where do Spandau Ballet fit into the whole equation? They're like the Rasputin of the new government. Is there something I'm missing out here? There's... Gold! Gold! Always believe in your soul... - Let's sing that and run at him! - You've got the power to know... You're indestructible, always believe in... Boom, boom, GOLD! I'm just going to move on to the next question if I may, which is can you think of a way of promoting railways that is guaranteed to get into the papers? - Yes? - Make them work. Ah! Very good! Bravo! I like that. - Good answer. - Crash? - Mmm! - Crash them. - You're right. You get the points. - You're joking?! No, I'm not. - I just saw Branson and thought Crash. - Yep, make them crash. Funnily enough, a man called Crush was a rail magnate in America, and in order to draw attention to what he thought was his supreme line across Texas, he arranged for this public display of two trains charging into each other. They were either end of a four-mile track. They then began to accelerate and then they collided to great cheers. However, both boilers exploded, metal began to fly, spectators ran in blind panic, two young men and a woman were killed. At least six other people were seriously injured in the flying de is. There's a lot of death in the show today. Sounds like something Branson would attempt, doesn't it? It sounds to me like Thomas The Tank Engine Does Die Hard! Thomas and Percy were flying towards each other in some horrific showdown to the death! That'd be the Thomas The Tank Engine video game with the 18 certificate. - Yes. - Grand Theft Thomas! Thomas went chugging down where, he killed a prostitute for extra money. I very much like this idea. We must write this down. - That's good! - Thomas video game. Other ways of trying to get publicity for things. Honore de Balzac, the great French writer, he wrote a play. It's called Les Ru iques de Quinola. And his way of drumming up real attention for it was to tell everybody that it was sold out. Unfortunately, this rather backfired cos everyone thought, No point trying to buy a ticket. It's sold out, I can't go and see it. So it was a complete failure. There's a illiant novel by Ted Heller called Funnymen, and it's about a fictional comic double act. In one of their shows, someone had a heart attack and they came upon this illiant publicity scam where they would have ambulances outside the theatre, cos they were so funny, it was almost certain someone would have a heart attack and die. Then they would have people feigning heart attacks and being ferried off in ambulances. That's happened at one of my gigs. A girl was laughing so much, she had a really bad asthma attack. And that's a dilemma, cos on the one hand you're thinking, That's terrible. But on the other hand you're thinking, Ye-e-es! Nearly killed one! I killed them tonight! I killed them! That one's dead. 999 to go. - Exactly. - Oh, good Lord! Now, some people will do anything for fame. But what did The Famous Five have lashings of? Ginger beer. No! Someone had to say it. I read all of those books. I'm gutted that I don't know. It's funny, cos in the books there is only one foodstuff that is referred to in all the Famous Five books, of which they had lashings. Yeah, they... They eat the dog. Treacle. They don't eat the dog, no. Asbestos. They had lashings of asbestos. Before they realised just how dangerous it was in powdered form. The dog in The Famous Five was Asbestos? - No, not the dog. - Sorry, I thought the dog was Asbestos. They just packed lots of asbestos for its fire-retardant qualities. - Asbestos is a very good name for a dog. - It's good, isn't it? Asbestos! As-bes-tos! The reason... My uncle had a dog named after Charlie Mingus, the jazz musician. And he would, er... It's called Mingus. Problem was, is that he's got the same accent as me. He'd be in the park, and he'd just be shouting, Mingus! Mingus! And the... The local girls thought that he was... Yeah, talking to them. Mingus! Piss off! Mingus! Who are you calling mingers? And it led to all sorts of problems. I'm sure it did. Why do we think of the lashings of ginger beer? Because of The Comic Strip Presents... Because The Comic Strip Presents..., their first film was The Comic Strip Presents Five Go Mad In Dorset... ...and they kept going on about having lashings of ginger beer. But in the actual books, there is no reference to lashings of ginger beer. But in one of the books, Five Go Down To The Sea, they did arrive at a Cornish farm and immediately settled down to a high tea of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, radishes, mustard and cress, carrot grated up and lashings of hard-boiled eggs. - Eggs! I was going to say eggs! - You were going to say that! - The only lashings... - They always go in to farmhouses - and get free eggs. - ...Enid Blyton gave The Famous Five were lashings of hard-boiled eggs. - They never had lashings of ginger beer. - That's a terrible picnic. - Who has onions at a picnic? - It's very hard to lash an egg. Unless you're in some sort of S&M thing with Humpty Dumpty. That's why they couldn't put him back together again. I will give you 10 points if you can give me, within three, the number of books that Enid Blyton wrote a year. 42. You were damn close. You were just out of range, I'm afraid. She actually wrote 37 books a year. And, talking of busy women, let's move on to another question here. Why have we never heard of Harriet Quimby? You've heard of Fred Quimby who produced the... - Tom and Jerry. - Tom and Jerry. And Mayor Quimby in The Simpsons, but Harriet was the first American woman to become a licensed pilot, and the first woman to fly the English Channel. But unfortunately, it just so happened her record- eaking flight didn't make the news because she completed it the day after the Titanic sank. So, it just was a damp squib, to say the least. She was famous in her day. She was one of the very first screenwriters at the very beginning of Hollywood. She wrote seven scenarios for the father of cinema, DW Griffith. She died aged 37 at an aviation meet, sadly crashing. But it was an impressive and a short and illiant life. Who was the first man to fly the Channel, do you remember? Oh, we all know him! We all know the MEN that fly the channel. - A mean, I don't... - Well, he was the first person. Louis Bleriot. It was one of the great achievements. He flew from England to France, but the French authorities, when he landed, didn't have a form, and so they signed him in as having landed on a yacht called Monoplane, because that's the best they could do. It was a huge feat at the time, and it was a £1,000 prize offered by...? The Daily Mail? Of course, the Daily Mail. Well done. Exactly. But you know what, Harriet did that backwards and in heels. Exactly. Very good. Good point. - Thank you. - I'm sure it was harder for her. But it can be... It can be very difficult to die at the wrong time. Can you think of people who died unfortunately on the same day as somebody even better known than themselves? Oh, I know! Mother Teresa. Yes. Who died the same day as...? - As Diana. The Princess of Wales. - Precisely. So she was not only below the fold, she was over the page. I only realised couple of months ago, that Mother Teresa was dead. Yes, yes. Who died on the same day as Michael Jackson? - Arr! It was an actress, wasn't it? - Yes. Farrah Fawcett! Farrah Fawcett is the right answer, well done! Summoned up from nowhere. I've just found out this moment that Farrah Fawcett's dead! - Oh, you didn't know that? - I had no idea! She died on the same day as Michael Jackson. Apparently when the ambulance men were driving up Michael Jackson's drive, they heard he wasn't eathing and they're driving up there and one goes, What are we going to try first? And the other one went, I reckon the rollercoaster. Terrible. But do you do that thing where, if you're on a plane and there's somebody famous on there, you look at them and think, If this goes down, who's going to get top of the bill? I have to say, I haven't yet thought that. It would be a sad thought, wouldn't it? Would I get the headline? I was on a plane with Sting once. Well, Sting and Alan Davies Go Down would be... I don't know... Could be good news. - It was in Australia... - Sting and Jonathan Creek man! We were going on an internal flight in Australia, and he knelt on his seat talking to the person behind him the whole flight, so everyone on the plane could see him for the whole... And he didn't do a single song, not one song! Was he not just doing Yoga? He was sat there but his head was fully... Fully twisted. Finally, 22nd of November 1963. Who died then? - Kennedy. - Right, so, JFK. That was obviously huge news, the American president dying. As it happens, two very distinguished authors died on the same day. Both British, as it happens. CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley both died on the same day as Kennedy, so both got rather tiny-winy little obituaries. Now, how can you get a German on your side before he's even had his Corn Flakes? Allow him to put his towel over them first. Mine definitely do. This is a reference to a very specific operation in the Second World War, and it was called Operation...? Corn Flakes. Operation Corn Flakes, exactly. Put the milk in the bowl first, because it's more... Maddens them! - Does it? - No, no! Really?! You can tell me anything now and I'll believe it. This was an ingenious method of distributing Allied propaganda. What they do is a bomber would bomb a mail train in Germany and a second plane would come along and drop tonnes and tonnes of fake mail addressed to real German addresses, that was filled with anti-German propaganda. Some of the stamps were even... You can see the one on the far right, they looked so like the real one. That says, Futsches Reich, Ruined Empire. And it has Hitler as a skull. And those were the normal stamps the German empire had at the time. A group in Rome prepared envelopes with more than two million names and addresses. And the whole point was that the train had appeared to be derailed and the people would come to rescue the mail and they'd see amongst it these mailbags that where identical to proper German postal mailbags that had been dropped by the second Allied bomber, and they were in fact addressed to hundreds of thousands of people telling them they were losing the war, that Hitler was lying to them. It was known as Operation Corn Flakes because they opened their letters with their Corn Flakes, as it were. That's quite interesting, don't you think? But it's time, I think, for a Dubious Theory. A Dubious Theory from Stephen Fry. Yes, erm, according to Dutch writer Iman Wilkens, the Trojan War actually took place in England, near Cam idge. The area which Homer calls Crete was Scandinavia, Sparta was Spain and Lesbos was the Isle of Wight. Dubious or not? Read out the arguments at Trojanschmojan.co.uk and then decide for yourself. A Dubious Theory From Stephen Fry Is that a website that's been set up by the elves? Yes, it is. But it basically assembles all the facts which people who genuinely adhere to this theory, that the Trojan War really does not seem to qualify for a Greek war. For example, there's no mention of any Greeks anywhere. Troy's attackers are referred to as Danaeans and Achaeans, who could be Danes, could be people from Argos, the kingdom of Northern France. And Homer's Troy also has a climate which is very un-Mediterranean, full of storms and wind and rain. But Stephen, were this true, would we not have relics all around East Anglia? Swords and helmets and that kind of thing? And a massive rotten old horse... - And a rotten old horse, exactly. -...in Cam idge City Centre. Exactly! There are counter arguments, and most people will believe that it is dubious. Canakkale in Turkey is generally believed to be the archaeological site of Ilium or Troy, but there are serious historians who maintain that Homer was writing about a Trojan War that in fact took place in Britain. In East Anglia, would you believe? All right, What kind of hat did they wear in the Wild West? Ten-gallon hat. Ten-gallon hat? Five-gallon hat? No, no. Of course, cos now it's litres, isn't it? - 45 litre? - No, no litres or gallons. Was it a Stetson? Can I have Stetson? It wasn't a Stetson, no. - The most popular hat by far... - A cap, a flat cap. No. It was the, it was the... - Say it. - A bowler hat. Yes, a bowler hat is the right answer. Far and away. There we are. We think of the bowler hat as the British businessman, but in fact it was THE preferred hat in the West. That's a pretty wild bunch, there. Butch Cassidy, seated front right. Sundance Kid, Harry Longabaugh, of course, front left. In fact, their pride in having their photographs taken with those hats was their undoing, because the Pinkerton agency reproduced the photographs and gave it to their agents, who tracked them down and killed them. It was hat makers Thomas and William Bowler who created the hat, but they weren't known as bowler hats in America, nor are they to this day. What do they call them? - Derbies. - Derbies, yes. Darbies or derbies Bowlers basically were much more common in the Wild West than Stetsons. Who fancies a shoot-out with a real, live vortex canon? I've given you one each, next. You've got a box. See that box, there? It's simply a box, all right? Now, the hole is where the vortex emerges, so if you lean it so that the hole is pointing at the target, all right? And basically, what you've got to do is smack the side of the box. All right? After three, two, one... Smack! Very good. There you are! But what we can... Yes. What we can do, before you destroy the box, Before you destroy the box, you can do something even more exciting, and that is fill it with smoke, and it will demonstrate what, in fact, was happening with the air. You should all have smoke machines. That's it, fill with smoke. Fill it with smoke. And now... Look! Look at that! Just a gentle tap. That is a vortex, those beautiful smoke rings. A lovely one, there. I've got a... I've got an enormous cannon, here. I'm gonna fill mine with... I'll see if I can get mine across the... - You can even chase each other! - Across the room, here. Here we go. I've got it the wrong way round, obviously. We'll let the smoke drift a little. Would anyone like a big dustbin? It's simply pressure of air creating this wonderful vortex. - No, it's not, it's magic. - Nice one, Alan! Hey, with this kind of magic we could make the tiny people big again. Basically, ladies and gentlemen, that's it. Hours of fun can be had... ...playing with your own home-made... - ...vortex canon. - Quick! More smoke! And I suppose it must be time now for me to give the scores. And how interesting they are. In first place, with minus 5, is Ross Noble. Second equal with minus 6, Alan Davies and Johnny Vegas. And a slightly unhappy Shappi with minus 17. Those lovely smoke rings. Lovely smoke rings. So, that's all from Shappi, Johnny, Ross, Alan and me. And I will leave you with this from A aham Lincoln. The trouble with quotes taken from the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine. Thank you and good night.
My strength is not my own, Lady Amba. Being the servant of Hastinapur and the drivers of the Kuru lineage are my strength. The fruits of all my victories are for Hastinapur only. Some fisherman catches a fish....and others eat it? Maybe the making of a fisherwoman as Queen Mother is the reason for the making of such a tradition here. Princess Amba! For this impudence of yours, you will be given punishment! Chief Minister.... Please maintain silence. Let the Princess speak. Eventhough her accusations are untrue, her pain is true though. Accusations are untrue? You have yourself decided this? Bhisma has become the wrongdoer. Bhisma had done that act on the orders of Hastinapur's Queen Mother, Princess. To make you Vichitravirya's wife and Hastinapur's Queen... ...I only had sent Bhisma to Kashi. And what you can still become now. Never ever! Now for me...marriage, husband, children, etc have no meaning. I just want justice. If I will marry.... then only with Bhisma! Forgive me Lady. But this is not possible. I have taken the oath of lifelong celibacy. And I have come here to eak that oath, Bhisma. By eaking a vow, a human gets a hellish existence while living. I want you to suffer that hell. The reason for my entire pain, entire suffering is you...Ganga's son, Bhisma. The pain that I have got because of you.... .....you will have to suffer pain much greater than that. Looks like it is not justice that you seek, but revenge. Yes!! Revenge, Queen Mother! The revenge which receives society's approval....it becomes justice. What justice will I get here? But Bhisma! Using your's and your kingdom's power, you cannot commit sin. I will go to the many kings in the Arya Empire... ....will ing an enormous army before you. Let the Princess go. In the royal court of the Arya Empire, she must be aware that she will get no help from anywhere against Bhisma. Stop Lady Amba! Its true that no one will have the courage to lift weapons before me. And no one will also listen to your words against me. And this will be injustice. Accusation be true or false.... The accuser be an ordinary person or a king... His words should be listened to with patience and impartiality. And his questions should also be solved. Then only can justice prevail in this world. Go into the refuge of my Guru (teacher), Shri Parashuram. And if.... ....I am guilty.... The power to give me punishment is only in my Guru... Bhagwan Shri Parashuram. (Bhagwan= God or Lord) Lord Parashuram!! Where are you?!! For all these days, I have been searching for you Lord! You will have to give me vision! (Darshan= vision) Until you give me vision.... ...I will tire not! And will not lose either! Lord Parashuram!!! Lord Parashuram.... Namah Shivaya! Namah Shivaya! (mantra to Lord Shiva) Lord Parashuram... Lord Parashuram!! Listen to my appeal Lord!! Om Tryambakam Yajamahe, Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam, Urvarukamiva Bandhanan, Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat (Lord Shiva's Mrityunjaya mantra or mantra for triumphing death) Greetings, Lord. Who are you, Lady? What need came upon you to come to such a dangerous place? To ask for justice, Lord.... Everyone says that you have slain innumerable warriors. 21 times on this earth have I slain evil and unjust warriors! Have exterminated them! But in the end I understood.... ....that by making the kamandalu (pot) upside down.... ....its vacuum inside cannot be emptied. Only by the filling of water inside, does its vacuum gets removed. By establishing justice in man's heart, injustice gets removed. Hence, I am....for the establishment of justice and righteousness..... .....doing the work of giving education to capable men. If any injustice has happened with you Lady.... .... then you go to Hastinapur. Go there and and tell your heart's grief to my dear disciple, Dev Vrata Bhisma. He will surely give you justice. Can Garuda give justice to a snake? Can any lion ever give justice to a deer? Bhisma only has done injustice with me, Lord. Impossible!! Lady.... The sea can cross its banks once.... ....but Bhisma can never do injustice. There can be a tear in the sky once.... ....but there can never be fault in Bhisma's character. Search your heart, Lady. Examine again. Certainly, you will see some mistake in your thinking. He has done a lot of injustice with me. He has burned the pyre of my dreams and left me to burn in it, Lord. He has produced terror in my life! You will have to listen to my appeal! If I see injustice in Bhisma's act, Lady... ....then I will doubt my knowledge. That's how much I trust I have on my disciple. Go....return home! May God give you good understanding. Lord Parashuram.... Lord you cannot forsake me.... You have vowed to give everyone in the world justice. Lord Parashuram!! I will not leave your refuge! Bhisma has to be given punishment! As long as there is even one line of laughter on his lips..... ..... till then my heart will be burning, Lord! Will be burning!! Sometimes, sometimes.... an incident in man's life eaks all his plans. And man believes this incident to be the epicentre of his life. But is the future created on the basis on man's plans? No. The way some high mountain is climbed by the very first person... Sitting in the shade of that mountain, the plan he comes up with.... ....does that very plan help him to reach that mountain's peak? No... Actually, as he climbs the mountain, he meets new challenges, new problems and new blocks. On every step, he makes a decision regarding his next step. On every step, he has to change his plans. Lest his old plan does not thrown him down a cliff. He could not make the mountain capable of him. He can only make himself capable of the mountain. Isnt it the same with life? In life, when man considers one challenge, one block as the epicentre of his life, stopping the very pace of his life, then he doesnt become successful in his life. And neither does he obtain happiness and peace. Meaning....instead of making life capable of you, isn't making oneself capable of life, the only path to success and happiness? Think about it. Let the proceedings for Crown Prince Vichitravirya's coronation ceremony begin. Fortunate are you both. You will get the fortune of reigning as Queens on this throne for a very long time. Your sons, grandsons, etc. will rule over Hastinapur. What greater joy than this could you have obtained? Dont know why your sister could not see this joy as an opportunity? The coronation ceremony is completed. Now through respected Bhisma, after wearing the crown.... ....please ascend the royal throne. Queen Mother, my lord's health seems to be turning for the worse. Ambalika....in an auspicious time, dont talk such inauspicious things.

Hello? Anybody down here? That's it, I quit! You almost gave me another heart attack. Should have seen the look on your face. You're such a pussy. You freaking dick. Dude, you ever pull that‐‐ What the fuck was that? That sounds like a bunch of fucking kids screaming. Shit. Dude, your eath. Surprise! You guys. First, a birthday trip to Hawaii, and now this? It's too much. Hi, I'm extra. Nice to meet you. I'm regretting giving you my spare keys. Sure. I mean, we all got a lot of packing to do, but might as well cram this in. All right, come on, birthday girl. Blow out your candles. Thank you. She calmed down once we told her that she wasn't on the island anymore, that she was air evac'd off and all. Got it. Can I speak with her? She should be fine now. You know the deal. Just let me know if she started to lose it. Okay. I'm Detective Peterson, Maui PD. I'm here to figure out what happened to you last night. Now, I'm to understand that you had a traumatic experience on Kilahuna Island. The local found you in disarray on a road wandering barely conscious. I also understand that you're not traveling alone. You're here with three friends? And then she goes maybe you'd be more comfortable with your shirt off. And I was like ma'am, with all due respect, that's exactly why I became a pool boy. Wow. What is your life? It's like oh, oh, and a little bit of oh‐‐ Seriously, guys? Okay. Hey, I'm just living vicariously, okay? God, I'm starting to feel like if we go on vacation with these D‐bags, we'll up coming home in body bags. Oh, does that mean you're out? Because I could call the old lady. Yeah, right, 'cause she's real. Oh! Guys, I literally can't get over this. Ooh, I would say pinch me, but I don't know where Sam's hands have been. Oh, you know. That's disgusting. I don't want to know. Good god, Sam. No, but you deserve this. Besides, how else are you gonna finish your book? Yeah. And Stephen King says the devil's in the details, so we had to make sure you get a lay of the land. You don't even read. This is perfect timing. So I just finished a draft and I was thinking on the next pass, I want it to just be a little more specific. So I know nobody can go to the actual resort, but just being there in Hawaii is gonna be really, why is everyone being so weird? Okay. Well, we actually have another surprise for you. We found someone willing to take us to the island. That's impossible. Since the resort got shut down, the entire island has been restricted. The locals literally won't even say its name. Say its name, girl. Kilahuna Island! Kilahuna, Kilahuna, Kilahuna. Pack your garlic, pack your holy water! We're going paranormal! I don't even know what to say. Police that responded to the scene found this. Is this your phone? Ms. Sanders, if they're in danger, I've got to‐‐ They're still on the island. Who? Your friends? Miss Sanders, I understand this is difficult to talk about, but if your friends are in danger, we need to help‐‐ You can't help them. I don't understand. They're dead. Dead. How? Did somebody do this to you? She did. Who is she? The half‐face girl. Oh my god! I'm gonna be able to get real pictures for the pitch deck, you guys. Based on true events, the first people to set foot in the resort since its forced shut down. Yes, mama! Sell that shit! Pause. Let me get this straight. I know the resort is supposedly haunted, but you're telling me that no one's even been to the island? Aw, Sam, are you scared? Are you afraid the boogeyman's gonna get you? Boogeyman's not real. Yeah, but it's not the boogeyman that you have to be scared of. No? Like you said, the boogeyman's not real. Well, what is it then? Why don't you show him the YouTube videos you sent me? Oh yeah, that shit's terrifying. Okay, let's set the mood first. Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Paranormal P.I. Today, we travel to Hawaii to try to separate fact from fiction. Now, Hawaii is no stranger to hauntings and they have a wide ranging mythos for paranormal investigators to explore. In this episode, we focus on one in particular, the haunting of a now abandoned resort on Kilahuna Island. The Hawaiian Islands are filled with supernatural occurrences. One island and the structure that resides on it, Kilahuna Island, is home to a once eathtaking resort that now sits abandoned. It is now closed off from the rest of the world due to a series of bizarre and inexplicable events. The locals consider the land sacred due to the tribal battles held there in the past, leaving it cursed by the blood of war. Built in the early '90s, the resort was intended to be a magnet for tourism. But shortly after opening, it became overwhelmed by reports of aggressive hauntings. What you are seeing is the last known video of the resort, including some modern drone footage. We do not know who filmed or uploaded the footage. One room in particular was notorious for hosting terrifying events, room 306. Guests that have had the misfortune of staying in this room have reported a wide array of paranormal activity. Some visitors experienced hearing voices, flashing lights, and writing on the mirror after exiting the shower. The hotel staff began refusing to service 306, leading to the hotel closing the room altogether. Amongst all the hauntings at the resort, one spirit has a reputation that is feared more than any other, a ghost the locals call the half‐face girl. The story goes that the half‐face girl was a local villager who was attacked and killed on the island. She was utally strangled to death with her jump rope and left for dead in the jungle, the animals feasting on her corpse. Those responsible for the attack were thought to be tourists staying at the resort, but no suspects were ever charged. The locals say the half‐face girl still roams the island and the resort, looking for her perpetrators to enact an eternal justice. From the sightings stem disappearances. The locals believe the half‐face girl had taken them and their souls to wander the island with her for eternity. After only two years of being open, the resort was eventually shut down and closed to all visitors. The only known access to the island is a small boat that ferries locals once a day. The locals maintain their side of the island and employ a small security force to prevent trespassing and perhaps further investigation into these events. Are the stories of Kilahuna and the resort true? With locals refusing to help anyone make their way across the island to the resort, the mystery may never be put to rest. Oh, great. Now, I really want to go there. I'm sure it's just the same old folklore as every other place. I mean, there are always practical explanations, but not at Kilahuna. Dozens of unexplained disappearances have occurred at that resort and the locals swear by the existence of the half‐face girl. Yeah, well, my aunt also thinks that you'll catch a cold if you leave the house with your hair wet. That's because you will catch a cold if you leave the house with your hair wet. That's not what I meant. It's a superstition, right, Lex? There's only one way to find out. We have to find the half‐face girl! I only got half a face. Take those off. Ew, that's the grossest thing ever! I'm still down to go. The legend of the half‐faced girl? I haven't heard that one in a while. It's not a legend. Have you ever been to that island? Yeah, once, when I was young. I remember the rumors, and I remember the resorts, and I remember how they closed the resort down because of those rumors. It should have never been built. Well, I could see how it would make for a great book. I mean, heck, scared the bejesus out of me when I was a kid. But let's focus back on what happened to you once you arrived in Hawaii. You mind if I record it? Paperwork. It was beautiful. Do you guys have room for one more? Let's go, girl. The sun goes down and comes up again I'm living loud, being who I am And when the music begins to die I take the silence and ing it live 'Til the sun goes down The rental car situation could have been a little better. What's wrong with the rental car? It's huge. What's wrong with huge? Yeah. I mean, it was the last one they had. I get it, swimmer's body is better than meaty, but you know. I wanted the Jeep. That would have been such a cute Instagram photo. They always want more. How far are we from the resort? It's close. We just have to island hop first. Island hop? It was supposed to be a surprise. Surprise. Nobody said anything about a helicopter. That's because we knew you'd complain about it. I'm just not gonna do that. Let's see. Lex, it's the only helicopter company that can take us to the other island. I mean, isn't there a boat we can take? There's only one boat a day and we already missed it. This is cheaper. It's gonna be fun. You guys ready to fly? Let's go! Okay. Okay. I think we should have took the boat. Saddle up, soldiers. Let's go haunting, Lex! Heli tower. Heli niner whisky hotel. East ramp ready to go with lima. Departure to the east. I hope this thing still takes off. Just kidding. You are missing out, Lex! Open your eyes. So, what's the deal with the resort? Is it real? I heard the stories. So it's real? No, I think the stories are bullshit. See, I knew I liked him. How many people live on the island? Well, just a few on the south side. Not too many on the resort side, you know, since they stopped maintaining the road. Have you been there? No, I don't care to go to places like that. Then how do you know it's not haunted? I never said it wasn't. There's a few ways to get to this waterfall when you try to hike to. You need to stay on the trails. Do not go anywhere the signs say you shouldn't go to. You don't want to get trapped in a flash flood out here. There's no one to help and there's no cell phone reception. Now, there's one boat that leaves tonight if you want to get off this island, and that happens at 7:00 p. m. Do not miss that boat. Okay, I'm gonna set my alarm so we don't miss it. Wait, you're not taking us back? Thank god. No, the discount didn't say anything about a trip home, okay? So. Have fun, guys. Thanks. You're welcome. Great. He left us for dead. Sam, why do you always have to say stuff like that? Let's just go. We only have about six hours. Only six hours. I think I was born to be an island girl. Can we all move here? I could never live here. Why? It's beautiful. 'Cause I need people and things to do. Well, you can literally do anything here. You could go to the beach or you could go surfing or hiking. Yeah, no. Couldn't do it because I need strip clubs. Really, strip clubs? I love strip clubs. Thank you, by the way. For what? What you did. What did I do? Bringing me here. It was all of our ideas. Yeah, but Bree may have mentioned that you paid for my ticket. I just know how much you like these things. I really appreciate it. You're welcome. I am literally already out of eath. I think that's probably the alcohol talking. Super original. You should write that in your next book. If you should be so lucky to inspire anything I write, Sam. I know I don't want to be anything you write if it involves ghosts. Seriously, why do you believe? Like you really want to hear my explanation. I do seriously. Okay. First of all, if there isn't some other dimension, then how do you explain that almost every religion since the origin of the human species believes in the afterlife? And on top of that, they talk about some way of communicating with deceased ancestors or deities. Like what about, what about praying and cele ating holidays like Dia de los Muertos, shamans? Okay, okay. I think that people make up stories. How the earth was created, how humans evolved, why we're here. Because those stories, they give people something to believe in, right? Which makes people feel better. And most of the time, that translate into them behaving better. The Bible, the Quran, cave walls, all of these like religious writings, they all promise this beautiful afterlife because it makes people feel better. They need something to believe in, hence the stories. I could be wrong. Okay. So you believe that because people need to believe, it all is fake? Yeah. All right. What about all of the photographic evidence of apparitions that we have? Fake. Poltergeist occurrences where there are multiple eye witnesses. Bullshit. My grandmother's spirit visiting me the night that she died. Definitely fake. Oh, you're serious? I know it sounds stupid, but it happened. When I was younger, we didn't really talk to my grandparents very much. And I was doing my homework one night in my room and I noticed that in the corner, there she was just sitting in the chair. I mean, she wasn't solid, but I could totally make her out. I could see her face and she smiled at me. She looked straight into my eyes and she didn't have to say anything, but I just knew it was gonna be okay. And then she was gone. So I told my mom and she gave me the exact look that you're giving me now. I am listening. That I was crazy. But then the next morning, we got a call and she'd passed away. So I looked it up, okay? I looked it up and it turns out that there are a lot of accounts where people, relatives, spirits, visit them in between when they leave this earth and they enter another plane. You're gonna post these instantly. I don't know, I could be wrong, but. I can't argue with that story. Great, now which way? Oh, there's a map. Okay, we're here. No, we're here. No, we're not. Bree, which way is north? Is that a thing people know? That's exactly what I thought. And now we're lost. No, wait, wait, we're not lost. Look. We landed here on the beach. We took this trail to there and now we're just somewhere in there. Exactly. So we should go to the waterfall. What? No, guys. We have to go to the resort. Okay, that trail is not on that map, but it looks like it goes pretty much directly there. Lex, it's your birthday. And I need pictures. Do not say it. Don't say it. Gram! I need my pictures for my Instagram. I hate the world for creating that word, but I'm down for the naked swim. Let's just go for a little bit. Yeah, we don't know where this trail's gonna take us, but we do know we can get there from the waterfall. Or we could just take the shortcut to the resort. Okay. Who votes waterfall? I vote yes. So stupid. Okay, let's go. Yup. Guys, it's my birthday. Shouldn't I have some sort of say in what we do? Happy birthday! It's amazing, dude. Go on, get naked. After you. Oh my gosh, it's cold! I take it the water feels so good. Sam, come on, man! What, dude?! Lex, come on! Lex, get in! I'm okay. Oh baby! We really should get going, guys. Come on! Come on, Lex! Live a little. Woo! I hate you all. Come on! Get in here! Don't watch me! Ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow! Turn around! That was the last time I felt truly safe. That was the last time I felt peaceful. You know, the way that trip was supposed to be. But if I had been paying attention, I would have noticed it. Something was off. Something was around us. And what was that? The island. Island was trying to tell us to leave. The island? I know you don't believe me and it's fine. You don't have to. It's not that I don't believe you. I'm just trying to figure out what's happening here so I can help your friends. You'll just think that I'm crazy. Alexandra, I can promise you I won't think you're crazy. Did you run into anybody? Did you see anything out of the ordinary? Does it smell weird? Yeah, it just kinda smells like tequila. I think it spilled all over it in the bag. That's completely disgusting. No, I'm good. Tequila ham. Yeah. Mmm. I just can't eat. Oh no, you just say that 'cause you're so scared of all the ghosts you're gonna see. There's so many ghosts on the island. I know you're afraid. I know, they're everywhere. What do you believe, Chris? Well, I mean, I believe there could be ghosts, yeah. Dude, come on. What? I mean, granted I've never had any experience, yeah, but it doesn't mean I can't see both sides. Well, I have. Bullshit. Yeah, then what was that painful monologue earlier about not believing? You guys want to know something I never told you? I was really religious growing up. I grew up in a Christian house. We went to church every Sunday. We did the whole thing. And one night, I woke up and I couldn't move. I could feel like this presence on top of me, like an evil spirit. And it was terrifying, so I prayed and I prayed. And finally, I could move again. I feel like there's a but coming. But in college, I learned about sleep paralysis, which basically is when you're sleeping, your body goes into this, it paralyzes itself, so you don't go act out your dreams. When that doesn't work right, you wake up in a dream state feeling paralyzed. People feel fear. They hear things. They see things. So what's more likely? Demon came into a 12 year old's room, gave him the people's elbow, held him down for a couple minutes, or it was a little sleep paralysis. Again, I could be wrong. You know, you keep saying that you could be wrong. Is that because you know you are? Ooh. Well, what do you believe? Well, I feel like if there's a God, then there has to be an evil. And so if you believe in like, goodness, then there has to be stuff like demons, and spirits, and negative things. So how do you really know? Are you mad? No. I just got to drain the lizard. He's so dramatic. I think he's mad. Chris? More than a hundred. A million. There's a lot. Come here. Hurry up, dude. Hurry. What the? Stay with the girls. I'll go check it out. Yeah. Who is that? Chris, be careful. Guys, it's just a sheet. Fuck that. I actually thought someone was standing there. Wow, you scare pretty easily. He's all talk. No. No, you all. That just further proves my point. You all saw someone standing there, right? Okay. Okay. Guys, let's leave. Let's keep going. Yeah. Yeah, we have about four hours 'til the boat leaves, so I think if we had that way, the map says there's a lookout point. Let's just go over there. Let's check it out, come on. Your stories, terrible. Are the worst. I just like trash. I think that's the top of the hill right there. Wait, stop. Bree, it wasn't a ghost. No, I'm saying there's a cell phone tower right there and I don't have service. Bree. Bree, that's not a cell phone tower. Yeah, it's a radio tower and I doubt it works. It's probably been here since Pearl Harbor days. Oh, Pearl Harbor. I'm a huge Michael Bay fan. What are you doing? I'm gonna climb it. Bet we can see the resort from here. I wouldn't touch it. Do you think it's still active? Sam! Oh, my nipples are so hard! Sam! I got you. Why would you do that? Oh my god, I got you. You actually care about me. You're such an idiot. Guys, she cares about me. That was pretty good. It was pretty good. Anybody want some? No. No. Okay. That's gotta be it. That's so far. It looks like a half mile. Yeah, we can do that. We just have to hurry. Can we stay up here and enjoy the view first? No. No. Okay. Fuck me. Great. Now what? It looks like we got a fence to climb. Oh, you guys, over here. Okay. Oh, you're gonna rip it? Oh damn, girl! Oh my god, good for you. I mean, I work out. I don't get it. What? They had to have spent a fortune building this place. And what, they just let it go to rot? Because it's haunted, Sam. Yeah. Never seen anything like this before Oh my gosh, you guys. Look at the difference. It's so pretty. Yeah, looks great. This is so perfect for my story. I have to film it. So who's going first? I'll go. Or Lex will go first. Keep out. Hello! Jesus, Sam. Hello?! Guys, stop. What? We're gonna draw attention to ourselves. There is no one here. Relax. So much for Hawaii's scariest resort. No ghosts, all stories. It's not like we're at the zoo. They're not just gonna be on display, Sam. What's with all the white sheets? I don't know. Maybe they were doing construction or something. Yeah. Oh! Sam, what the fuck, man?! I've always wanted to do that! Sam, you can't just start eaking stuff. Why not? Sam! See? God, man. I think you've had enough to drink. You might actually be right. That's a hell of a drop. Yeah. Okay, should we go check out the room? 306? Yeah. What, are you scared now too? Oh, they got one of those old thingumajigs. It's called a bell cart, genius. Looks like the whip! Sam, you're an idiot. Oh, you don't get it? What, that you're an idiot? Ghost. All right. Looks like somebody was just here. There probably was. Don't say that. You're scaring me. I'm gonna go explore downstairs first. By yourself? Are you crazy? I'm literally just going right down here. Let him. Maybe a ghost will get him first. We can only hope. I think this is the third floor. This place is creepy. Guys! Way better down here. Wait, stop. I want to take a picture. Oh, get ready. More squats! You used to like it. She definitely liked it. Smells like Sam's ass. Somebody definitely died in here. Wait, so what happened in here again? This is the place where the lights used to flicker and people heard voices. Yeah, and they reported seeing writing in the mirror with the two showers. Shit. How's the view? You're standing in the pool! Yeah. It's filled with dirt. Wow. What a view. Sam, you should come up here. This place is fucking massive. Gotta be some ghosts. Should we look at the bathroom? What do you think happened in here? I don't know. Could you imagine taking a shower and coming out to see writing in the mirror? I mean, you would think somebody was playing a joke on you. I'd be more scared of the voices. Yeah, fuck that. Oh wait, this is the room that the bellmen wouldn't come in. Yeah. You know, Sam better not come scare us right now. You know what, could you take a picture of me with the mirror in the background? Of course. Thanks. Nothing especially odd happened in room 306. I was just taking photos of what I thought was important for my story. So you did take photos inside of the resort? Yes. Why? Your phone, there's no photos inside the resort. They stop upon your arrival. So there aren't any of the rooms or room 306? No. Is there something I'm missing? Before we left room 306, that's when it happened. Oh shit. What? You look amazing. Get a room. Can you take another one, babe? My backpack looks stupid. What is that? That doesn't sound good. Yeah, wait, what is that? Sam's probably torturing some animals. Chris, you've gotta see this. That was so weird. The fuck was that? I don't know, man. Wow, of course we come when it's a full moon. Yeah, well at least we got some light on the hike back. Yeah, well, we should probably go home. Wait, what? I mean, we just got here. Yeah, but I don't want to miss the boat. Yeah, Lex, come on. We all want to see something, but it's at least an hour hike back and we'll be here all week. Let's just come back tomorrow. And pay for another helicopter ride? No. It's already 5:45. Yeah, so we have a little bit of time. We ought flashlights. Why would we do that if we weren't planning on being here at night? Yeah, for the hike back. Sam, we're leaving. We just got here. Right? Guys, come on. Well, this sucks. I really need something for my story. I know, I'm sorry. Maybe we'll see a ghost back at the house. We have more time, guys. Not if we stay here. The darker it gets, the more dangerous it's gonna be on the hike back. Dangerous? What do you think is gonna happen? Somebody's gonna die? We have flashlights. Oh, god. Whoa. You think yours is big enough, Sam? It can never be big enough. That's what she‐‐ That's what she said! You've been carrying that in your bag the whole day? Yup, it's my travel light. Your travel light? Guys, the weather is getting really weird. Are you guys sure this is where we came in at? Yeah, this is where we entered. I remember that road over there. I don't. Yeah, I don't think that this is right. Trust me, this is where we entered. I think it was back there. No, we didn't walk that far when we came in. No, it's around here somewhere. It's a giant hole. I think we'd see it if we were close to it. You know what, man? Screw it. Let's just dig. You're gonna dig? ‐ Do you have a better idea? ‐ It's a fence! It's a fence! They keep us from going through! Well, until you come up with a better idea, this is what I'm gonna do. Why don't we just find the hole that we came through? You guys, where is my backpack? Did you leave it? No, no. I had it. I had it in the room when we were taking pictures and then I. Chris, you left my backpack, didn't you? What? No. Sam, help me dig or we're gonna miss the boat. I don't want to get dirty. Chris, you left it. Shit. I guess I got distracted when the birds came and left it in the room, but can I just buy you a new one? No. You guys, you want me to leave my stuff? That's insane. Plus it has my phone and my wallet in it. Lex, come on. Bree, if it was your phone, you would already be inside. Yeah, but if it's backed up, you're good. Well, it's not. How is it not backed up? Well, I don't think it is, but it doesn't matter because I'm not leaving my stuff! Okay? I need my phone. It has my pictures and all of my notes on it! Lex, this isn't a good idea. Oh my god. I'll just meet you at the boat, okay? Lex! Dude, this is the exact part in a scary movie that pisses me off. Seriously, this is so stupid. It's 306 right there. Can we move a little faster? I don't have a flashlight, Sam. Mine's big enough for all of us. Where is my bag, Chris? I left it right here. You sure this is the room? Yes, this is 306. Then where's the bag? You're being so unhelpful. Oh my god. Where are you going? Is there anything over there? No? No, it's empty. Are you sure? Did you look all around the corner? It's not over there. It's am empty room, Lex. I know that. - ‐lt was before. - It's pouring. We have to go or we're gonna miss this boat. Okay, then let's check the other rooms. Guys! I don't know where he is. Get in here! Where did that come from? I don't know. I'm in here. Chris? Chris? God. Oh, shit. Found your bag. It was like that when I came in here. Lex, your bag was sitting in the corner. We didn't even come in this room though. Wait, but how did your bag get in here? What I want to know is how did a coyote get in here? I didn't even know they had coyotes in Hawaii. They don't. It kind of looks like it was escaping. From what? Guys, let's just get the fuck out of here. No. I should take a picture. Lex, come on. I know, I know. It'll be fast. Guys, I'm leaving. Okay, I'm going. Sam, thought you quit smoking, man. I did. Don't lie. I'm not lying. I haven't smoked a cigarette in over six months. Okay, but then who's is that? I don't know. Someone's here. Wait. Hit the light, hit the light, hit the light. Are we locked in? Hello? Hello? What are you doing? Bree, we're trespassing. They don't know that we're in here. And we don't know them. Sam, was there an exit by the pool? I don't know. I mean, I don't even think I can get us back down there. Then why are we heading there? We can just ask them for a ride. Because whoever that is probably isn't gonna be happy that we're in here. Whoa. Guys, turn that off. We need to have an exit now. I am not doing this. Okay. That thing we ran out is near the front. Fuck it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What, you got a better idea? I'll do it. Chris. It's security. Everybody in! Wait, no, what? We can't steal their truck! Yeah, we can. What about them? What if they need help? Go fucking help them then. I'm getting out of here. Sam, just leave the truck and run, man. I'm not leaving if we have this truck! What are you doing? Chris, give me the fucking keys. I'm not giving you the keys, man. Give me the fucking keys, Chris! Stop. We're not taking the truck. Get in the car, guys. Bree, get out! Chris, Chris, give Sam the keys. Let's go! Do you want to go to jail? Are you serious? Guys, guys! Chris! Bree, get out. Wait, what's going on? Bree, open the door, Bree. Bree. Bree, how did you do that? Why is it locked? Get out. Bree, what are you doing? I didn't do that! Can you hear me? Yes, yes, I can hear you. Guys. I think it's down here. Could you please help me? Wait, where is here? Guys, get me out of here! Guys! Watch out, watch out, watch out. Guys, guys! Bree! Bree! Oh my god. What if she's down there? What if she's still down there? We have to help her. There's nothing we can do. No, I'm going. I am going, I am going! Stay here! Stay here with me. Let him go down there, okay? Just let him go down there. She's dead, isn't she? Nobody survives a crash like that. I got you. I got you. Okay, so you're saying that this truck started on its own, shifted into gear, and drove your friend off the ledge? Look, I know what it sounds like, but that's what happened. Okay. Excuse me if it sounds like I don't believe you, but I find it hard‐‐ Hard to believe that a truck could have a life of its own and kill my friend. Pretty much, yeah. How do we know that she didn't just knock it into gear herself in a panic, and then‐‐ Because I was there and I saw it with my own two eyes. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I gotta cover all the angles. It's just that I'm not used to chasing ghosts in a homicide investigation. Yeah, well, I'm not used to seeing my friends die at the hands of one either. It must have been hard for you to see, We hadn't seen anything yet. Why are you doing that? What? Shivering. Huh? What are you guys looking at? What was that? Run! Run! Guys, meet me over here. Yes. No, no. Oh my god, you gotta be kidding me! God! Guys, move. Fuck! Why would the exit door be chained? Come on. There's gotta be another way out. Come on. Sam, wait, wait. Where are we going? Just fucking run. Wait, what the fuck was that thing, man? You guys say his eyes, right? Did you see his eyes? He had the white eyes. That's what I mean. I mean that they're real. Those videos were real. I don't know. I don't know if our ains are playing tricks on us or what, but that was the realist fucking ghost thing I have ever seen. So, what should we do? Sam, are you sure you can't get us back to that exit by the pool? I'll fucking get us there. Let's go. Come on, come on, come on. Wait, where are we? This looks like a fucking. It's the basement. I think it's like storage or maintenance or something. This doesn't feel right. Let's go back up. Go, go! Guys, over here, over here. Come on. This can't be happening. Oh my god. You guys, that was her. That's the half‐face girl. Half‐face girl? That's just a fucking story. I know what I saw. But we need to get out of here now. All these flashlights are dying. All right. Let's go back the way we came. Why would we come back the way we came? We can't see shit. We don't know what's down here. I am not going back to face whatever that was. Yeah, no, there has to be another way outta here, man. There's one. Okay, stay close so we don't get separated. We good? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let's get the hell out of here. There's no fucking half‐face girl. Does anyone see anything? Sam? Dude. Sam? Sam? Stop messing around, man. Sam. Sam? Let's get out of here, man. Come on. Sam? We gotta go. Let's get out of here please. Come on, Sam. Sam? Oh man. Come on. Let's go. Why? Why would you do that? Sam? Please help me. I'm sorry. What the fuck?! Fuck, it's stuck! Come on! Fuck! Lex. Lex. Lex. Lex! Sam? Lex. Sam. Lex! Lex. Oh, Lex. Lex. Lex! Lex! Lex! Lex. I know you're in there. Sam, please don't do this. I know you're in there. Go! Oh, fuck. Happy birthday to you Bree? Happy birthday to you Bree, are you okay? Happy birthday, Alexandra Happy birthday Bree, are you okay? Bree, stop. To you Bree, don't. And then all I remember is waking up here, coming through the hospital doors. I can't remember anything after that. And there's a lot to take in. And you see this woman? Girl. It was the half‐face girl. The girl, right. She killed your friends. Are you sure they're dead? As sure as I see you here now, I watched them die. I can't even imagine what you've gone through, but I can promise you this. Everything is gonna be okay now. I'm gonna call the station. We're gonna do a search of the island.

How can those three mucus say that I'm a kidnapper? I'm a real man who upholds the values of Pancasila, religion, and romanticism. Wait for me! I'm baffled by them. Born perfect as men, but they want to be women. This country should ing them around and give back their masculinity. Don't let them be. I hope they are enlightened. Crazy she males! Damn you! Thief!/ I'm in a bad luck today. Actually the problem started 2 months ago. You still remember my best friend? That's right. 100 points for you. Rahmat Ashraff Abdurrahman. Yes, the most annoying and self-centered person I know. But, thank God, this past year, he has changed a lot. Rahmat is more religious than before. He used to be a Muslim only as an identity. Now, he acts like a real Muslim. He's even more active in humanitarian organizations. Doing social activity, helping people in need. I have presents for you. Come closer. Don't fight over them. I'm happy to see Rahmat becomes a good person. But I still can't accept... ...seeing Yasna fall in love with Rahmat. I just can't accept it. He wins big. The point is Rahmat becomes a much better person now. Rahmat once said this to me. My sins are bad. They're uncountable. My wickedness. What I wrote... ...what I said, my action all this time about Islam... ...is wrong. I feel like... ...I spread my face with my own shit. Look at this. They dedicate themself for humanity in Palestine. The Story of Indonesian Volunteers in Palestine Me? Here? Sometimes I... I don't know. I'm dizzy with my sins. There's something wrong with Rahmat's head. And as I had guessed, he ask me to go to this place. Palestine. The land of the prophets. We both become volunteers and journalists... ...who capture the latest condition in Palestine. I don't know when the Palestine conflict will end. But I'm sure there's a silver lining in every misfortune. That's what I hear from Ki Zaenal's lecture. And don't stop praying for them... ...and helps to relieve the burden of our others in Palestine. I doubted Rahmat's purpose to come here. It turns out that he's really sincere. I didn't expect Rahmat, that was radical, now is a romantic. Allah is greater! ...in Palestine once said this. We will not sell Al Aqsa. We won't surrender Baitul Maqdis. And we won't leave Palestine! - Say Takbeer! - Allah is greater! Yes, sir, here comes Rahmat. Rahmat, your father. How can you not call him for a month, since you're here? Hello. Peace be unto you, father. Yasna. She must have been stepping on a frog. Yes, father./ How can she wants to be with this baldy? If you don't marry her soon, I'll snatch her. Put that away! Father./ For Heaven's sake, Rahmat. Do you forget that you still have a parent? Sorry, the signal here isn't good. I'm barely in the camp tent. How are you? Thank God, I'm good now. I was sick thinking of you. Rahmat, remember... ...you'll get married in a month. Are you serious about this? About getting married? If you're not serious, let me give her to someone else. I have many followers who want her. Don't do that. I'm serious. I will go back home to Jakarta soon. Besides, I'm the one who's getting married, why are you the one who is rushing? You want to get married too?/ You insubordinate kid! You talk without thinking. No one can replace your mother in my heart. Do you understand?/ Yes, I do. Relax. You can get a heart attack. Just relax, father. How is she anyway? - Why are you asking? - Why? I'm her soon-to-be husband. Then go home, Rahmat. Marry her immediately! Yes, of course. Send my regards to her. If God permits. God be with you./ And with you too. Hey! Hayya, I'm coming back to Indonesia tomorrow. Yes, Hayya, all of us will go back to Indonesia. Everyone will go? When? Tomorrow morning, all of us will go to Turkey... ...then go home with a ship. Don't go! Hayya will miss you. Don't go, uncle. I don't want to lose you! Relax, Hayya. Uncle Rahmat will come back here... ...to meet you, if God permits. Goodbye. Come on. If God permits us, we'll come back here. Two weeks later The kid you saved, all of her family is killed. Hayya? Hey. Hayya, how did you come here? So, you sneaked into the suitcase? It was a long journey. This is your room. Thank you./ You're welcome. You want to stay here? Hayya, I don't have girl's clothing. I think this suits for you. She's already wearing a shirt. Ouch! You make the mustache tilted! You disturb me making art. Din, do you see something in your suitcase? What something? Something. A living creature. A living creature? Let me tell you. If you have your underwear in my suitcase, that's something. Something weird. You're asking a living creature. None! Your soon-to-be wife is asking for you. She's been calling me non-stop. Hello, peace be unto you, Yasna. Unto you, too. You forget. Forget? Of course not. How can I forget? In two weeks, if God permits. Then why haven't you send the photo? Photo? I have the ring already. I've bought it. But if you send me the photo, I can see the model. It's a surprise. Just relax, be patient, I'll send it. Okay then. When will you come home to Ciamis? If God permits, soon. As soon as I finish my work, I'll go there. Okay then. Be careful, take care of your health. Okay, you too. If God permits. Peace be unto you./ And unto you, too. Hey!/ What? Come with me./ I'm doing some work here. Just come with me. Bring your bag. Hurry. Come on. Mat. What are we doing here? Yasna ask you to buy these for the orphanage kids? Hey! What are these for? I'll pay with a debit card./ Okay. Please hurry up. What's wrong with you? Thank you./ You're welcome. He's going crazy again. Hey, where are you going? Hey, where are you going? Don't ask too much. Help me buy a ring, then meet me at home. A ring for who? Why can't you think? Of course not for my father. He's becoming more and more incomprehensible. I buy a ring? For his father? Peace be unto you. Mat? Peace be unto you too. What are you doing?/ You can come in. Just lower your voice. Don't be noisy. Don't ask too much./ But not like this. My head is going to be flat. I'm too handsome to be flat-headed. This house is a total mess! It's like a shipwreck. Are you in a depression? Because you're asked to marry Yasna immediately? Oh, God. What is this? Kid's clothes everywhere. Mat... ...if you're not ready to get married... ...I'm ready to replace you. I'll make Yasna happy. Shut up!/ What's wrong? There's a kid here./ A kid? Who? Your kid? Your niece or nephew? You don't have a kid nor any niece or nephew. Whose kid is it? Hurry, tell me. It's hard, I don't know how to tell you./ Just tell me. Don't say anything weird. You didn't kidnap someone's kid, right? You're not a pedophile, right? Hey, talk wisely. Ask for God's forgiveness. You ask me to be quiet, but you don't give any explanation. Where's the kid? I'll show you, but don't be noisy. Keep your mouth shut. Okay? Come with me. I'll show you. You're crazy. How can she be here? You kidnap her? I don't kidnap her./ You don't, but you take her. If you keep on talking, how can I explain it to you? You can't do that. I know you care for Hayya. You told me you want to adopt her. But you take her. You're crazy. I don't kidnap her, I don't take her. She came herself. Hey, she's a kid. How can she come here all the way from Palestine? And alone? Mat, do you realize you're eaking the law of two countries? You want to spend the rest of your Hijrah journey in prison? She sneaked into my suitcase./ Into your suitcase? Hey, crazy man, the journey to Indonesia isn't short, especially with a ship. If you say she went into your suitcase, how did she survive? I don't know. Before this becomes more complicated, we have to tell Mr. Yusuf immediately. Convince him that you're innocent. Okay? Here, sir. Thanks. Peace be unto you./ And unto you too. Peace be unto you. You want to add something else? No. It's 65.000 rupiah. You give me 100.000 rupiah. I give you back 35.000 rupiah. This is your grocery. Thank you. I hope you'll shop here again. Peace be unto you. And unto you too. Thank you. Anto! Hello?/ Mat, where are you? I have arrived. I'm arriving soon, Din. You're still at home, aren't you?/ I'll be there soon./ Liar. I have to take care of Hayya first./ In the last two days... ...Gaza Strip is in a bad situation./ Hurry up. Ustad Yusuf is awaiting. Wait for me. I'll be there soon./ Hurry up. Don't be long. Israel military keep on doing airborne attacks on Gaza. The attack is causing many houses and buildings destroyed. And caused seven people died./ What's wrong? It's only on TV. Relax, Hayya. You're safe here with me. Peace be unto you./ And unto you too. Sorry I'm late./ Please sit. It's okay. Relax. I was talking with Adin. I asked him when he'll end his state of being single. Just look at him. He's at the right age, he's settled. But his reason... He said, Let Rahmat marry first, because his condition is very concerned. Dry and dark. Is that so?/ Yes, I feel sorry for him. Adin is different. It's not that nobody wants him. He has this disturbance./ Disturbance?/ A little abnormality. Disorientation. He doesn't like female./ Oh, God./ His mouth... God forbid! God forbid. You know that Prophet Adam was created first, then put in heaven. Heaven is so nice, all things good are put there. But he was still contemplative. Because he had no partner. When Siti Hawa was created, he was happy. That was in heaven. You're in this world, not in heaven. In your boarding house, a lot of women to choose from. Why aren't you getting married? You're single all the time. How can that be? Listen to him. Let's go back to our business. What is it? Well... We want to discuss the kid we found in Palestine. That kid is now.../ How is she? Which kid?/ Wait. The kid in that refugee camp, right? Yes. How is she? It's about that. Thank God. If God permits, everyone is safe. There's always a bomb threat there. That's why we have to keep on praying. If God permits, with our prayers, they will all be safe. There's another good news. Thank God we've finished building our emergency school there. That's not what I mean. What we're here for is actually to tell you that we... We miss them. If God permits, if we have the chance, if it's possible... ...if it's permitted, we want to join you again there... ...although we can't help much, at least we can cheer them up. Thank God. I'm happy to hear that. If there's a departure soon, I'll contact you. Mat, hey. What are you doing? Why do you want to go back there? If you don't care for yourself, at least think of your father. And Yasna, who has been waiting for you. You're not only not solving the problem, you're adding it. You know the consequences if you don't report it? You can be considered human trafficking being. Prison, Mat. So, what do I do? You go back there. Explain to Mr. Yusuf how Hayya arrived in your house. Then let that be their problem, to return Hayya to her hometown. You never experience living alone, having nobody... ...in an unsafe place, being insecure. I experienced that for 10 years. I felt like I was banished from normal life. This kid... She has no one. Just because she's watching TV... ...and listen to a firecracker, she can scream hysterically. What does that mean? She's in trauma. She needs a safe, comfortable, and calm place to live, just like you. So what do we do? I'm confused. We have to give her a calm and comfortable place, a normal life. And nobody needs to know her whereabout./ Wait. We? You're crazy! Hayya's friend. Mother. Father. Independent, integrity, and trusted. These three points have to be our ideals and principals... ...in carrying our job as a journalist. Do you understand? Any question? Then, please continue your job. I don't think you can take care of her alone. You have to work, cover stories, come home late at night. So, what do I have to do? I'll ask my friend to help you... ...finding someone to take care of Hayya. Don't do that. There'll be more people who know about her. Don't worry. Trust me. I'll ask them to come. All you have to do is choose. Agree? I'll be waiting tomorrow. Okay. To the address I gave you. Okay. Okay. You're ready, Mat?/ Ready for what? For an audition./ Audition? That's right. Come in! My name's Rini. People call me Inces Rini. I'm from Tasik that's cool and beautiful. Like that. Have you ever take care of a child? I have. I took care of a neighbour's child and his father. His mother was always working. So, I took care of them both. What a irresponsible mother. But remember, I'm not a husband stealer. Thank you./ Okay. Riana? Riana? Miss Riana? Please come in. Oh, God! Go away! What a coward. Enough. I give up. Peace be unto you. Peace be unto you too. Before we start the day, it's better that we thank God... ...for the blessing that Allah gives to us. For the health, the fortune, and all the bounty that we enjoy. Excuse me, Mama... Contemplate my words. A child is something that is entrusted to us. We have to take care of them and educate them as best as we could. A lot of parents want their kid to be pious. But they themself aren't pious. They're working non-stop, enslaved by the world. Excuse me, what's your name? You're giving a lecture without telling your name beforehand. Sorry. My name is Adeh. I am called Mama Adeh. Mark my words, you youngsters. Okay. Excuse me. What we're looking for is a woman. So, what are you doing here? Oh, no. I think you're in the wrong house. I am a woman. I'm just trapped in a male body. Oh, God! I feel smothered. Your ain is fried, your ideas are all bad. Wait. There's one more. If God permits, this one is good. I promise. Forget it. Damn you. I don't want to do it anymore!/ Wait! Please come in. Peace be unto you./ Peace be unto you too. Thank you for inviting me here. Why do you have Melayu accent? Where do you come from? I lived in Selangor for a long time. So, during all that time, my mother lived in Indonesia. She worked as a house maid. But... Miss... What's wrong? It's okay. I always get carried away when I remember about it. If you can't bear it, you don't have to continue. It's okay. So, since I was a kid until I became an adult... ...me and my mom lived on our neighbouring country. Then my mom married someone from the country. I also fell in love with someone there. But... ...he betrayed me. He left me before our wedding. Then my mom fell sick. But I had to go to work. I was ashamed. But all I know is... ...the man... ...is like you! With long, thick, curly hair. Like a vocalist of a Melayu band. Like a rock band vocalist! I can't be sad like this. Miss... Calm yourself. Calm down. Okay. We're touched by your story. But right now, we need... ...a babysitter for our kid. What? The kid of you both? Oh, God!/ Not like that. Not my kid, but his. What? He's... Oh, God. You can take care of a kid, right? When I was in KL, I helped my mother... ...babysitting for a family there. Okay. So, you have a special skill? Can I sing? Of course. Please. Stop right there. Enough. Din, you take care of her. Oh, God! How pretty! Who are you? Who is this? How pretty you are. Oh, God! Beautiful. Hayya./ What's your name?/ Okay then. You're beautiful./ Hayya. You're awake. Let's take a shower. Let's take a shower, honey./ Pretty. What's her name? Okay. You're accepted as the babysitter. Oh, God! Please go back to your seat. Calm down. Sorry./ You're really enthusiastic. But we haven't know each other yet. What's your name? I forget. My name is Ria Yunita. Okay, Miss Ria.../ No. Just call me... Ricis. Just call me Ricis./ What is Ricis? It's an acronym. Beautiful and sweet Ria. Oh, God! Peace be unto you. Peace be unto you too. Sir./ Come in./ Okay. So, Ricis, basically, your job is to take care of Hayya. Okay? There's a room on the back. If you want to, you can rest there and take Hayya with you. My room is upstairs. That's my privacy area. You can't go upstairs. Okay? Clean Hayya, guard her, wash her clothes, and prepare her food. You don't have to go out. I've prepared the food ingredients. All of them are in the fridge. One more thing, Hayya can't speak Indonesian language. Oh, God./ To communicate with her, you have to use body language. Sir, if I may know, where does she come from? The Palestine./ Palestine? Oh, God! She was born there?/ Yes. Okay. In the meantime, you can stay here. I go to work at 8 am every morning and come home at about 9 pm. Okay? So, take good care of her. Is there any question? Sir, can I go out of the house? You can, but you can't go out of the complex. There's a park here. You can ing Hayya there. But don't go out of this housing complex. Okay? Sir, can I ing someone here? Who?/ My relative. You have any relative in Jakarta?/ No. I mean, a friend. A friend?/ Yes./ No. No relative, no friend, no one. You can't ing anyone. You just follow my order. Sir, can I ask one more question? What? So that I'm not confused if the neighbours ask me about Hayya, is she your child? Yes, she is./ You said that she's from the Palestine, that she was born there. Her mother is also from there. I don't know what to do if the neighbours speak badly about you and Hayya. Just don't respond. Hayya. Bye. I'm dizzy thinking about this. It's so quiet at this time of the day, not many people. I don't know what to do. Ma'am! Peace be unto you./ And unto you too. Where are you going?/ I'm going home. My name is Ricis. I'm your new neighbour. As neighbours, we have to know one another. Hayya, come here. Hayya is a Palestine kid. His father is a single parent. Isn't she pretty? It's delicious. Me again? Okay. Only five thousand rupiah. I want this one./ I'm taking this one. I've been working for Mr. Rahmat for three days. But I still don't know where her wife is. Is she in Palestine? Or Turkey? I don't know. It makes me dizzy. It tickles! Mr. Rahmat, Mr. Adin. I'm curious. Where's Hayya's mother? Is she going to come? Mr. Rahmat, whose kid is she? Just tell me. I can keep a secret. Your secrets will be.../ If you say one more word, I'll fire you. How sensitive. Hayya, I'm bored. Do you want to accompany me walking around the complex? Hayya. Do you want to? Come on! Happy Independence Day, Indonesia How festive this is. Who is he? How handsome he is. I have to know him. Oh, God! Who is this kid? Hayya! Oh, God. Where's Hayya? Hayya! Hayya? Hayya? Hayya? Hayya? Oh, God! Hayya? Hello? Peace be unto you. I'm sorry, sir./ What's wrong? You can cut my salary for a month, but forgive me. Just calm down. What's wrong? Hayya is missing./ What? What do you mean missing?/ I took her to walk around the complex. I held her hand. But suddenly, she's missing. I told you not to take her outside. I've warned you!/ I'm sorry. What's wrong?/ Where did she go missing? In the complex of the house, not far. This is the result of your doing, incompetent! Hey! What if she's really missing? Ricis is a jerk. You go there, I'm going there. Excuse me, do you see a little girl, about this tall? Her hair.../ No, I don't. You don't?/ No./ Okay. My daughter! I'll lift you. You've been playing?/ Yes. There./ There? That little hand... ...holds a stone Her eyes... ...are teary The feeling of yearning Running across sadness Bullet rain... ...fall Through it all A mistaken Don't know where... ...to take shelter Mother! Hayya! We should return her to her country. Maybe she misses her home. What home? Her home is ruined by the savage of the Zionist. She has no home. Her home is right here, with me. She's safe. How is she safe? She was just running away. If it wasn't for us, she would have been kidnapped. Jakarta isn't safe for her anymore. I'll be more attentive at her. I'll spend my time for her. I'll resign from my job if I need to. Resign? What's wrong with your head? Maybe this is Allah's way for me for what? For me to learn to take care of a kid... ...so that she doesn't go through what I went through as a kid. Alone, abandoned. But you can't do that. She's not your child. From now on, she's my child. From now on. You're stubborn. It's really hard to talk to you. Peace be unto you./ And unto you too. Come in./ Okay. A Palestine kid was missing with the departure of Hubbu Team. Here's her photo./ It's her photo? Her name is Hayya. We're asked to do an investigation... ...to all team members who left Palestine. It'll be a major setback to the international humanity program... ...if this is connected to human trafficking. Yes. This is serious. What's wrong, Din? Mr. Yusuf called me this morning. He said that one of the kid from the Palestine camp is missing. He asks for Wildan and the police's help to know the kid's whereabout. What now? Hayya's not safe here anymore. We have to go now./ What? So, Hayya's not your child? You kidnapped her from the Palestine? Oh, God! I'm dead. You want to kidnap me, too? Shut up. Nobody wants to kidnap you. And we're not a kidnapper. So, whose kid is Hayya? I'll explain later. We have to go now./ Come on, let's go./ Let's go./ Hayya. Lift her. Hurry. Come on, Hayya. Be careful. Mat, where are we going?/ My father's house. In the name of Allah. Ricis./ Yes, sir./ You stay here with Hayya. Peace be unto you./ And unto you too./ The one we're waiting for is here. Thank God. Peace be unto you./ And unto you too. Your beard is getting thicker./ Because of the rain season. Please take a sit./ Yes, thank you. Oh, God. Yasna, come here. Take a seat. Thank God our children have gathered here. Thank God./ So, there's nothing else that we have to wait. It's better that we start this. Start what?/ Shut up. You'll keep on running away if it isn't like this. But what is this?/ In the name of Allah. Thank you to Mr. Somad and family... ...that'll be my in-laws in a few moment. If God permits it. So, thank God... ...what we will do, the marriage of our children... ...has already been settled by the parents, the date and the time. If I'm not wrong... ...it'll be on August the 25th... ...that'll be on a Sunday. Thank God. What is this? Why didn't you tell me? The sooner the better./ Right./ Father! Father? Hayya. Come with Mother. Mother? What is this? Why does she say father and mother? Sorry, everybody. Come on. Who is that? Why did she say father and mother? Don't embarrass me. That's the thing. I want to tell you that I have.../ What have you done? You've been married secretly? Oh, God, Rahmat. How could you do this to Yasna? Oh, God./ Father?/ Mat!/ Oh, God, Father. Here. The upper body first. Straighten his body. Hold it here. Wait, Din. Push him to that side. Like that. Support his body with this so he won't fall. Thank God that it's only a misunderstanding. Yasna has already understand. I pray for you that all will be good until the day. I'm going. Peace be unto you./ And unto you, too. Mat, I want to apologize. I'm sorry that I accuse you of bad things. But if you hurt Yasna, I'll pinch you. I also want to apologize. I didn't expect your heart to be this gentle. That's right./ I also want to adopt an orphan one day. Oh, if you have a female friend from the Palestine, introduce me to her./ Hey! A ar, finish your school first./ I'm just kidding./ Come on. Rahmat, we're going. Peace be unto you./ And unto you, too. We're going. Peace be unto you. How can you say that?/ I'll introduce you if I know someone. We're going./ Thank you./ Okay. Peace be unto you./ And unto you, too. Be careful, sir. Father, wake up. Everybody has already come home. What an impudent kid!/ Ouch! You shame me! You've been engaged with a girl here, yet you have a kid out there. Villagers will talk about me./ Just let him go. What?/ Just keep on doing that. Don't think bad things. Hayya is not my child. She's an orphan from the Palestine. She went into my suitcase herself and came to Indonesia. She can't come back, she's traumatized. The best thing for her is to be with me here. I don't believe you. Use my room. I'll sleep on the back. Who? Me?/ Hayya! Peace be unto you./ And unto you, too. Oh, dear. Hey!/ Oh, God. You're bothering. I am seeing a grace, but a disaster come. Oh, dear./ I'm dizzy./ You talk without thinking. Why do you come here in this rain? I have something to give to Rahmat from Auntie Nurul. Let me take it./ Oh, dear! If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask me. If God permits it, I can help you. Okay? What are you talking about? My name is Ricis, single and trusted. I'm A ar, single in the cause of Allah. What's wrong with you two? Okay, then. I'm going. Send my regards to Rahmat. Okay./ Peace be unto you./ And unto you, too./ And unto you, too. How handsome. Oh, God!/ Flirty! Disaster everywhere! It makes me dizzy! Who have pug nose? Me. Brother, can I help you? It's okay, let me do it myself./ It's okay. Let me help a little. They're done in a moment. I can grill, too. Grill the past. We'll eat together, okay?/ If God permits it. I'm already hungry. The grill is hot./ It's okay. How cute is Hayya. Yes, she's so cute. Just look at her. I hope that if we have a kid, she'll be as cute and pretty as Hayya. We. I'm sorry. What I mean is I want to have a child as cute and pretty as Hayya. Of course, if God permits it. If the mother is pretty, her child must be pretty too. What are you talking about? You said you got the ring. May I see it? You may. Wait a second. Wait. Kids, make a circle. Make a circle. Like that./ What are you doing? I want to make a surprise, like in romantic movies. What are you doing? I'm embarrassed./ Excuse me. Din, the ring. The ring. All right. Yasna... ...will you marry me? Why is the stone so big? It suits your father more. A big stone? Mat. That's why you don't do extravagant things. If you love her, you don't need a ring. The important thing is your heart and promises that are always kept. That's right./ But... You think Yasna is a shaman that you give her a big stone like that? Why don't you give her a boulder instead? Weird guy. Rahmat. This makes me dizzy./ What? My fault? A Palestine kid who is a conflict victim... ...is missing with the departure of a humanitarian volunteer team... ...who left Palestine on July the 20th, 2018. Palestine police authority suspects the kid was smuggled out by one of the volunteer. Hayya? The Middle-East government has already asserted... ...that the children victim of conflict can't be adopted. What happens now, I'm responsible for this, it's not our team doing. We'll help the police to solve this. To the perpetrator, if you don't have any intention to kidnap her... ...please surrender and give back the kid to avoid this becomes more complicated... ...because they'll get multiple indictments in Indonesia and in the Palestine. Brother Rahmat. Brother Rahmat, how could you lie to me? What lie?/ Hayya. Aren't you tired of trouble? Stop lying to me. The news of Hayyah's disappearance is on TV. Why do you do all this? You must know that that's kidnapping and it can send you to prison. Do you realize that? Yasna, here's the truth. I never have any intention to kidnap anyone. And I'm not a kidnapper. What happened was she followed me. Then why didn't you report it? It would free you from punishment. Yasna... All my life, I've been a jerk to my family and my religion. That doesn't mean you can do an extreme thing that eak the laws like this. Hayya is traumatized. She needs a safe place. What should I do? Should I abandon her? Ignore her? I consider this as a way from Allah to redeem my past sins. Everyone wants to change, to be useful and do good things to others. If Hayya's case needs me to sacrifice myself, I'll accept it. Please cover this. Don't tell anyone. We need to save Hayya. Sorry, but this time, I agree with Brother Rahmat. We need to protect Hayya. Oh, God. Peace be unto you./ And unto you, too. Rahmat, I got information from the Quran recitation group from the city... ...that a bunch of guys are looking for you. I think you shouldn't go anywhere right now, because you're getting married in 3 days. Hello?/ Rahmat, where are you? I know you're with the kid./ What kid? Don't pretend you don't understand. I know everything. If you have good intention, I promise to help you cleared from all accusation. She needs a safe place. She's safe with me. You're educated. You understand the law. If you don't cooperate, the police will deal with all of this. I'm not afraid of anybody nor the risk. You understand? Why do you become this extreme? I want to ask for your help. Don't let anyone knows that Hayya and me are here. I want to go out to check the surrounding area. Where's Hayya? Hayya?/ Hayya? She was here. I think she's in the back. Father. Father, where's Hayya? She's going to Yasna's house with Ricis. I can't trust anyone! Your English is so good. Who taught you? Mr. Rahmat. Every night, he sings that song. When you meet Father Rahmat, don't forget to sing it. Hayya! Don't be harsh like that. Hey, Yasna. You should've helped me. They're in Ciamis now. If anyone knows that Hayya is here with me, I can lose her. She's just a kid. Remember, your intention is to protect her. So, make her feel comfortable. Sir! Sister. Sir! Ricis, I've told you not to ing Hayya outside. I don't understand what you're thinking. You can't even get simple order. Sorry, Sir. Sorry. All you can say is sorry. You remember what happened the last time when you took Hayya out of the house? She was almost missing. Please calm down. Take pity on Hayya./ Shut up! Oh, God. Hayya, you have to help me so we can always be together. I'm sorry. Don't cry. Don't cry. Come here. I don't mean to scold you. Come here. Do what you want./ Mat, calm yourself. She's just a kid. How can I be calm? Wildan and the police is in Ciamis. If people tell me that I'm here with her, what I do all this time will be wasted. How can I be calm?/ Nothing is wasted, Rahmat. Every good intention will be rewarded by Allah. We all love Hayya. And if you love her, return her for her own good. What's best for Hayya is for her to be with me. That's the best. Din, take care of Hayya at home. How can you say that? So, I don't come to your wedding? If she comes to my wedding, she'll be seen by many people. That's dangerous for me and Hayya. Okay? Please. Mat, hurry. Come on. Come out, Mat! Rahmat! Rahmat! Rahmat! They're here. Just go out from the back. I'll obstruct them. Come on. Is Rahmat here? He's sleeping. Do you want to wait?/ We can't. Wake him up now. The police want to meet him. Wake him up. I don't dare waking him up./ Be careful./ Wake him up now. Ouch! What's that?/ Nothing. Oh, God. They're running away./ Let's split up./ Go to the back. Rahmat Ashraf Abdurrahman... ...I marry you with my daughter... ...Yasna Nurhasanah binti Somad... Kidnapper! Kidnapper! ...with dowries of 12 grams of gold and a set of praying equipment. I accept the marriage with Yasna Nurhasanah binti Somad... ...with those dowries. How was it, witness?/ Legitimate./ How was it?/ Legitimate. Thank God. Kidnapper! You go there./ Okay./ I go here. Wait, Adin! Let me go. Enough, Din. Give Hayya to us. Enough!/ Hand over Hayya. Just give her or you'll deal with the police./ Hayya! Enough. Sir, Hayya. Rahmat! Din, where's Hayya?/ Sorry. I've tried. I trusted Hayya to you and now she's missing. Damn you! I've protected her the best I could! I've done everything for you! What's wrong with you two? Enough! I know you're incompetent!/ Enough! I'm fed up with you!/ You never appreciate me. If I knew it'll be like this, I should've told them from the start. So, you're the one who told them our whereabouts? Enough! I'm the one who told them that you're here. If you want to, hit me! Don't hit Brother Adin! Do you realize that you're endangering Hayya and the people you love? Is this what you call love? This isn't love, this is an obsession. You're obsessed to be a good person who loves and be loved normally. But this is not normal! You'll never know who really love you if you only think of yourself. It's not us who betray you, you're the one who betray us. You only think of yourself. I apologize and I hope this becomes a lesson to us. Thank you, and I also apologize. Although I'm disappointed at Rahmat for what he did... ...I try to tell the truth to the police that Rahmat isn't a kidnapper. He only tried to be a good person. But his obsession made him make a wrong move. Where's Hayya? You have to let her go. To love is not to force yourself. You really have to learn to let go... ...and willing to be left and leave for the people we love. I'm sorry. Yasna./ Yes? I'm sorry./ Yes. Where's Adin? You're good? I'm good. Your head is the one who is not good. I'm sorry, Din. That's Rahmat. Despite that, he's still my best friend. Thanks, Hayya, you had ought colours in our life, especially Rahmat's... ...although destiny takes you away. Keep on smiling, Hayya... ...for your smile strengthen us to keep on taking care of Palestine together. UNICEF stated that there were more than 1000 Palestinian children... ...wounded in Gaza (CNN Indonesia - 2018) Israel captured 1467 Palestinian children in 2017, 1063 children in 2018... ...and 118 children in the first two months in 2019.

That's why all of us... ...should improve our good deeds... ...our prayers... ...and if God wills, we'll be resurrected... ...gathered... ...in Ard al-Mahshaar (Land of Gathering)... ...as lucky person, if God wills. Amen. Excuse me, Ustadzah Dewi. Where is the location of Ard al-Mahshaar? Because... ...my husband is Minangnese. I swear. There's no place with the name Ard al-Mahshaar. That's interesting question. So there's interpretation... ...about where's Ard al-Mahshaar. One said, it's on... ...other side of the earth. One said, it's in other world. Ustadzah... ...is it other world such on TV? No, no... It's a place... ...that we've never known before. I got it. There are also said... ...that Ard al-Mahshaar... ...located in Palestine. A place where all people... ...will resurrected... ...gathered on the judgment day. This is reinforced by hadith... ...that one time... ...a women come to the Prophet Muhammad... ...and asked the Prophet. Prophet, give us a statement... ...what is Baitul-Muqaddas. Then the Prophet Muhammad answered... ...that Baitul-Muqaddas is a place... ...where all of us the human... ...will be resurrected... ...and gathered. Ustadzah, is it Baitul-Muqaddas... ...located in Al-Aqsa Mosque? Yes, that's right. Ma'am, don't stop learning... ...and don't forget to invite all your sisters. Yes. - Thank you, Ustadzah. I will go first. - Right. - Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you, too. Ustadzah Dewi. Yes, Mrs. Astri. Honestly, I really am... I don't know about Ard al-Mahshaar. I just know Padang City. Padang Sidempuam... ...and Padang restaurant. Because I've only recently relearned the religion, Ustadzah. Ma'am, you still learn about religion is really great. - The important thing is consistent. - Yes. Because with knowledge, if God wills... ...we can survived in this world and the afterlife. Amen. - You should come here often. - Amen. At least three times per day... ...so I will get smarter. Ma'am, just like drinking pills, three times a day. The important thing is, the intention. If you want learn about religion to get pleasure of Allah... ...just do it slowly. Amen. Ma'am, I will go first. I have to go to obstetrician. - My husband had waited there. - Right... ...four. Very productive. You tease me. - I go first, ma'am. Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you, too. Ustadzah... She's good in preaching... ...also very productive. Ms. Lia. Ms. Lia. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you, too. Ms. Lia, I'm so glad to see... ...your happy face now. Your face is so glowing... ...similar to the filters on your phone. You're too much. Ms. Lia. Is true what Ustadzah said. We have to let go... ...the death of our family... ...especially our own children. What do you mean? You were great. Even though Hanna had been dead a few weeks ago... ...but you're so tough. If it happen to me, I can't take it... ...I will be sad and cry a river... ...and won't go out. But you're so tough. - That's great. - Who died? Hanna. Ma'am, don't talk carelessly. Hanna's still alive... ...you could ask your kid. What does it mean? And I want to tell you... ...tell your kid... ...to not tag Hanna along... ...to engage in dirty play. I need to pick Hanna up. Excuse me, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you, too. What does it mean? I'm confused. Did I say something wrong? Or did she eat something wrong? Hanna, please eat it. This is your favorite fish dish. Also this mixed vegetable that you liked. Eat. Hanna. Eat this. Eat this! Hanna! Is up to you if you won't eat! Hanna. Hanna. Don't be angry with Hanna. Poor her. I feel upset with her. I already cooked her favorite food... ...but she doesn't want to eat. Be patient, honey. You must be patient. I'm confused about her. Why has she changed a lot? Not the same Hanna, who I know. Everytime I talk to her... ...she never answered. She went all silent. That's making me confused. I don't know what I should do. I think it's all because she played with Embit... ...Mrs. Astri's kid. But, do you love Hanna? Hanna. I'm so sorry. I'm angry with you, not because I don't love you... ...but I just don't want you to feel ill. I'm so sorry. If I take you on vacation... ...do you still angry? Where are we going, Dad? What if we go to the mountain? No, we go to the beach... ...that's Hanna's favorite place. We go there quite frequently... ...let's go to the mountain instead. No. Let's just go to the beach. Would you like to go to the beach? And I'm so sorry. Do you forgive me? Now we put water in the bottle. Okay. Put in here. Oh no, it destroyed. Again, try again. Then, we do this... We make a hole for the water. Do it. And put it this side. Can you do it? Oh, no... Hanna! Daddy. Let's play again. Dad, come here. - What are you making? - I made a mountain. I will make a flower. Hanna, wait for me. I'll splash down on you. I'll splash down on you. Oh no, Leon. You promised... ...to give your time for us. But why are you still thinking about your job? You're selfish! Hanna? Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! Honey, what's wrong? Why are you pale? I guess it's because you haven't had eakfast. Let's eat. Let's eat. Okay. Come. Yummy? Eat with rice. Let's eat slowly. Hanna! Hanna! Hanna! I seek forgiveness in God, Hanna? Hanna! - Baby? - Hanna! Honey, what happen with Hanna? Hanna... Wake up, Hanna. Hanna? Hanna... Why is it going to be this way? Don't worry, honey. Hanna is a strong girl... ...and she's going to heal. How? Any progress for her? She's still unconscious. Ma'am and sir, please wait outside... ...we'll do the treatment. Let's go, honey. This rash... ...and blisters on her face and body... ...are due to allergic. No way. She never had allergic... ...and lobster is her favorite food. Sorry ma'am. That's impossible if someone has no previous allergic... ...with what her eat. And then out of nowhere... ...got this severe allergic. And... I have checked all Hanna's lab result. And... ...it's shown clinically... ...that's true... ...she has an allergy to seafood. And there are more dangerous things. She is shortness of eath because her allergic... ...it's getting worse... ...because we found... ...foreign object in Hanna's lungs. Foreign object? What does that mean, Doc? Please take a look. We found a lot of iron... ...and aluminium flakes in her lungs. How can there be that kind of flakes... ...in my daughter's lungs? Only both of you can answer it. During this time... ...what she did? Hanna never did something wrong. Even if she's just playing around... ...she's just at home, in garden... ...never goes anywhere. And it's impossible there is that kind of flakes in her lungs. Honey... Here's the thing... This case... ...usually found in children... ...whose living in conflict or war area. Such as Palestine for example. They could have been inhaled... ...as a result of bombs or grenades of war. And... There's no other plan... ...we should do the surgery for her. Hello? Rahmad? You bastard! You've been hiding Hayya from me. Rahmad, what happen to you? Istighfar, Mat. Hold your anger. This is hospital! If something happens to Hayya... ...I'm gonna kill you. Be patient, honey. Doc, how about Hayya's condition? Who are you? I am her parent. How about Hanna, Doc? The surgery is done... ...but Hanna is short of blood. Her condition still critical. Take my blood. Her blood type is AB negative. It's impossible... ...our blood type is O. Not, ma'am. Her blood type... - ...is AB negative. - No way. She's not Hanna, but Hayya. We need help. We need help... She needed to find a blood donor who matched her blood type. And we also ask other hospitals for help. - Doctor. - Lia. Please, I beg you... - ...please save my child. - Lia... She's not Hanna, she's not our child. - Doctor... - Hanna was... Lia, Hanna was dead. She was gone, honey. She was gone. Hanna... Yes. Hanna was... Henna was dead? Honey... Honey... Lia... Hanna... Hanna was dead? Yes. No... Lia. No. Lia... Lia. Lia. Lia! Lia! Hanna. Oh my goodness, I am late. Lia. - Lia. - Why you don't wake me up, honey? We don't need it again. We don't need again, Lia. What do you mean? What if Hanna is late? Lia... Hanna. - Where is she? Hanna! - Lia... - Hanna? Ouch! - Lia. She must be at Embit's house. Lia. Lia, where do you go? Lia. Lia. - Lia, what are you doing? - Hanna! Hanna. - Hanna. - Lia! Hanna. - Hanna. - Lia, enough! Coming! Hanna. - I seek forgiveness in God. - Where's Hanna? - What's going on? Hey... - Hanna! - Hanna! - Why you barged in my house, Ms. Lia? - Hanna! - Lia. - Hanna. - Lia. - Hanna! - What happen? - Enough Lia, enough... - Where's Hanna? - Hanna was dead. - No! She isn't dead yet. Because of you... ...my child being cheeky! - Where's Hanna? - Lia! - Let my son go. - Stop it. The doll, where is Hanna's doll? Stop it, Lia, I said stop! Hanna was dead. Hanna was gone. No! She's not dead. Enough. I said, enough! The child that you think as Hanna is not our child. I'm sick of lying to you. I am tired. I always follow your wishes. Not only were you sad over Hanna's death, but so did I. I beg to you... ...you have to let it be, honey. You have to let it go, honey. No... No... Laugh if you want to. Laugh as much as you like it. It's okay if it makes you satisfied. Laugh! Lia, please... Enough. Enough, Lia. Lia. Enough. Lia, enough. Lia! Oh, Allah, why? Oh, Allah, why was she taken from me? Ustadzah, why Allah takes my child? Miss. This is a trial from Allah... ...it's sign from Allah that Allah really loves you. And you must remember that Allah never gives a trial to someone... ...beyond the capacity of Allah's believer. You can definitely get through it. But why should I, God... ...why should I? I never do something bad. Miss, I seek forgiveness in God. Istighfar. You have to take a look. Allah sent you good people around you. They're good people. It's not only you who feel lost... ...but also your husband. Look at your husband, he is strong... ...and still accompany you, right? And if God wills, Allah will give you a better replacement. If God wills. Oh, Allah... I seek forgiveness in God. Forgive me, honey. Forgive me. Forgive me. Daddy. Hayya. Come here my daughter. Mother. Daddy. Mommy. Hadijah. Hayya... It's not time for us to gather yet. Stay there... ...take care of our homeland. Give happiness... ...and give peace... ...to those around you. We'll meet again... ...if God wills. Goodbye. Mommy... Daddy... Mommy... Hayya. Hayya. We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure who, when faced with a disaster... ...say, Surely to Allah we belong and to Allah we will all return.

Eyang? Eyang? Eyang? Eyang? (Grandmother) Anyway, let's move Mrs. Leila's schedule to Tuesday. All right then. It's just a short vacation, so cover my work for a while. Thanks. Honey, do you think this is enough for Mbok Narsih's daughter? - I think that's enough. - Okay. And how's her condition? Not much improvement. They said she's getting better, but she still needs treatment in the hospital. Anya, want some candies? Thanks, Auntie. Put it down there. Thank you, Sir. - Mbok Narsih. - Miss Gendis. - How are you? Fine? - As you can see, Miss Gendis. - How about Rara? - Not much improvement. I'm sorry I can't be here to assist Eyang anymore. I understand your situation. You should focus on your own family. Yes, Ma'am. - Let's go inside. - Okay. Gendis. Eyang. You always dress up when you know someone's coming. Because that 'someone' has not visited me for a year. Eyang. - How are you? - Good, and you? Come here, Anya. Say hello to your great grandmother. I told you, she does not need to call me great grandmother. Call me Eyang. Let's have lunch. I know you're all hungry. We are. - Honey. - Yes? I want to take a look at the backyard. I've prepared the hot water and the towel for you to bath. Thank you. Anya. Anya, go with your mother. Go on. Okay. Let's go. - You startled me, Gendis. - What's this? This is called batik, but you'd better not touch the wax. It's still hot you'll burn your finger. - Are you going to color the fa ic? - Of course. We're coloring it red. Can you color it with different colors? - Is this batik done? - Now, now, we've folded this. Anya, Gendis! Eyang is looking for you. My cooking is not as good as Mbok Narsih's. But as long as I stay here, I'm going to cook for you. What can I do, since Mbok Narsih is no longer here. But you have me now. You practically raised me since I was little when my parents died. It is my duty to take care of you. I should've visit you more often. You must have been lonely. Eyang? Eyang? Are you all right? But she seemed to be fine this morning. She was, but something happened this evening. In the middle of our conversation... ...she suddenly stopped talking, and when I touched her skin, it felt hot. Give her medicine for her fever. And find out what medicines she usualy takes... ...and where she puts them. I'll look for the medicines. I wrote a note down somewhere, but I forget where I put it. Eyang? Anya. Anya. Anya. Eyang? Eyang? What are you doing here? Eyang? Eyang. I don't want it! Daddy, help! Daddy! Anya! Eyang? Anya, go outside and wait for me there. I'll be right there with you in a minute. Go outside and don't go anywhere. Wait for me there. Eyang. Good morning, Anya. Good morning, Eyang. Let's have eakfast. Okay. Let me fill your plate. Thank you, Gendis. Mother, it's raining outside and you leave your door open. What if a stranger decides to enter? - Auntie. - Oh, you are here, a special guest. - How are you, Gendis? - I'm fine. Please, sit with us. How are you, mother? Thank God, I am fine. Why didn't you tell me that you're coming home? But mother, look at Gendis. She came all the way from Jakarta without noticing me either. I was about to let you know, but you're already here. I can hear your voice from anywhere. Why don't you have eakfast with us? I had my eakfast. Don't let me interrupt yours though. Are you coming with us to Grandpa's grave? I'd love to, but I've already made an appointment. I'll go to his grave later. - Honey, where's Eyang? - Gosh, where is she? Here she is. Let's have a family picture, Eyang. This is a rare opportunity. Come here, Mother. Ready? 3, 4, cheese! Shall we go home now? It's getting dark. - Go ahead. We'll be right behind you. - Okay. Come on, Anya. Eyang, it's almost dark. Let's go home. Eyang? Eyang? Did you say something? - Here's your tea. - Thanks. Have you asked Anya, what she was doing in Eyang's room? She doesn't want to talk about it. Maybe she entered Eyang's room and thought she wasn't there. And then she was surprised finding Eyang in her room. I'm a bit concerned for Eyang. What if she sleepwalks again? Too make you less worried,... ...how about you create something to alarm you... ...when the sleepwalking episode occurs? Eyang. Eyang. Eyang? Eyang? Eyang? Eyang? Eyang? Eyang... Eyang. Yes, I'm going back to Jakarta today. You can come to my office for your consultation. Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. So you're going back to Jakarta? Yes. I have got appointments with my patients. They should have been today, but I have rescheduled them for tomorrow. Can you reschedule for later in the week? I can't do that. My patients really need to consult with me. I can't just ignore them. Eyang was sleepwalking again last night. I found her in Batik House in the middle of the night. Acting like she was soaking batik. That's dangerous. Elderly tends to do subconscious things... ...they can't express with words. I know it, but... What I'm saying is it's going to get worse, isn't it? All right, let me talk to her. - Good morning, Eyang. - Good morning, Reza. I have to go back to Jakarta. But Gendis and Anya will stay. It's okay. Your daughter and wife can stay with me here. Eyang. How was your sleep last night? Did you sleep well? Do you remember having any strange dreams? What do you mean? Nothing, just making sure you're all right. I'm fine. I'm still healthy. Can you keep wearing the acelet Gendis made for you? She's fine. I think she has a lot on her mind, that's all. Maybe it has something to do with the accident of Mbok Narsih's daughter. Or maybe she cannot accept the fact that Batik House had to be closed down. - That explains why you found her there. - I know. It's just... All right. Look. How about I install CCTVs in every corner of this house? That way I can monitor her from Jakarta. Is that okay for you? Sorry. - Gendis? - Satrio. - You're here! - I am here. - Why didn't you tell me? - I just got here three days ago. - Really? - Yeah. Sorry, but you have to excuse us. We're kind of in a hurry. We need to buy something at Tugu. - So you're you going to Tugu? - Yeah... What a coincidence! Can I go with you? Let's go! How are your parents? They're good? They're good. How about Eyang? I've heard about Mbok Narsih's daughter. I just can't believe that huge wardrobe could fell on her. Maybe the wardrobe is old and frail. There are so many strange things happened lately. You know what... ...the mother of our praying teacher's husband's friend... ...experienced worse. My mother said the giant tree in her yard suddenly fell on her. They found many needles in her body. Especially when they bathed her. She was covered in blood. They say someone put a curse on her. My uncle had it once. But fortunately he's fine now. What do you mean? I mean, too many strange things happened. They don't make sense. Just like love. Love sometimes makes no sense at all. Right, o? Anya, why did you cover the statue? Because it was staring at me. Eyang? Assalamualaikum... Assalamualaikum... Anya, I want to install CCTVs. Can you help me? Come on. Anya, come on. I think we should move it a bit more that way. No, I think it's perfect. Done. All right. Honey, if Eyang has a high fever,... ...let her take the pill you gave her the last time. And, don't worry about last night. I'll help you monitor her from Jakarta. Okay? I'm going to take care both of you. Let's go inside. Can I sleep with you tonight, Aunt Gendis? Come here. Get under the blanket. Aunt Gendis. Can a statue move like human? When I was in Disney Paris,... ...I saw a statue that looks exactly like human. And suddenly it moved! But that's because it was a real human who pretended to be a statue. A real statue can't move, because it is an inanimate object. So inanimate objects can't move? Are you afraid of something? Don't be afraid of some statues. They're just inanimate objects, they can't harm you. All right? Now go to sleep. Gendis? Do you remember me? I was Eyang's apprentice. You are... Mrs. Ajeng, right? Yes, I am Mrs. Ajeng. What are you doing in Jogja? And when did you arrive? What were you doing back there? I borrowed Eyang's batik tools and I came to return them. - You came to return batik tools? - Yes. Have you asked her permission when you borrowed them? I have, for quite some time actually. She entrusted them to me. She said it's a shame that nobody used them. Eyang didn't tell you? Excuse me, but I have to leave. Bye. You look so pale. Do you want me to call a doctor to check you? Eat some. Eyang... I saw Mrs. Ajeng this morning. She said she came here to return your batik tools. It's okay. Let her use them. So it's true... ...you did let her use your tools. When I'm gone... ...I'm going to leave everything to you and Laras. Yes, Gendis? Can you come here as soon as possible? Things are getting creepier around here. What do you mean creepy? I think somebody put a curse on this house. Curse? You sound like Satrio. You're being superstitious. I just found an egg filled with blood and nails. If that's not a curse then I don't know what that is. Can I call you back in a few hours? I'm about to have another session with my patient. But I still have many things to tell you. There's... Hello? Satrio? What do you think? Look. I don't mean to creep you out more than you already are. I think someone's definitely put a curse on her. When you told me about her strange behaviour and the eggs... ...I had a vision of Eyang. That confirmed my suspicion. The exact things happened to my uncle. He sleepwalked. Strange sounds inside the house. And they found eggs filled with nails. The exact things. I think you should recite the Quran more than you ever have. Seriously. Especially the Kursi verse. I saw it with my own eyes, Aunt Laras. I was bathing her. And glass shards came out from her skin. Who do you think could put a curse on her? That's the problem. I don't know. How could anyone put a curse on Eyang? I can't think of anyone who hates her. Can you come here, please? I don't know what else to do. And my husband is not here either. All right. I'll be there tomorrow. You'll just have to hang on for tonight. Let's get Eyang to have dinner with us. Can I just stay here instead? All right. I'll be right back. Eyang. Do you want me to ing the dinner to your room? Eyang? Aunt Gendis, Eyang is already in the dining room. My Husband Reza - Hello. - Hey, honey. Where have you been? Why didn't you call me sooner? I'm so sorry, I didn't have time to call. I've been busy all day. Why are you still awake? I can't sleep. I'm too scared. Wait, how do you know I'm still awake? I'm watching CCTV live feed of your room from my tablet. I told you, don't do your work in bed. Especially when Anya sleeps with you. Honey... I'm not in my bed. I'm in the living room. What? Then who sleeps next to Anya? Anya! There's nobody here. Gendis, she's right beside Anya. There's nobody else here except Anya. Honey? Reza? Why didn't he answer the phone? Anya... ...where's mommy? Gendis? Gendis! Gendis! What are you doing? Honey... I'm afraid I was right. What are you talking about? This... This is the proof of what I told you yesterday on the phone. Where's Eyang? Eyang. Eyang, it's Reza. Gendis... Eyang doesn't look well. We have to take her to the doctor now. I told you, someone wants to harm Eyang. See all of this? Why did Mrs. Ajeng bury these fa ic pieces with Eyang's name on them... ...and cover them in dirt? - Hold on, who's Mrs. Ajeng? - She was Eyang's apprentice and employee. Aunt Laras said she owns a batik shop downtown. She took over Eyang's employees. She must have been doing this to eliminate her competitors. - Aunt Laras. - How is her condition? She's getting worse. And I was right, somebody put a curse on Eyang. And it's Mrs. Ajeng. Ajeng? Eyang's apprentice? Where did she bury these things? In the Batik House. I knew it. If she's the one who put a curse on Eyang,... ...then she's the only one who can undo the curse. Return these things back to her,... ...or it would ing disaster to this house. Where's Mrs. Ajeng? How could you do this to my grandmother? I know you put these things in my house... ...to weaken my grandmother and to make your curse stronger. Why are you doing this to her? Gendis... ...why did you dig all these out? It's going to put her in grave danger. If we left these things in our house, they will do more harm to her. How could you do this to her? I would never harm her. She was my teacher. Three months ago, when I came by your house... ...I saw a creature following her around the house. The dirt and cloth pieces are blessed with verses from the Quran. I buried them in the Batik House to repel the curse. I wouldn't put them in your house either. I did that without malicious intentions. I want to help your grandmother. Things that I buried in your Batik House... ...will protect your grandmother from the evil creatures that live in her house. The evil creature you saw... Did it look like this? Somebody must have asked a sorcerer... ...to put a curse on your grandmother. But I don't know who the person is. This creature... The batik pattern is similar to the patern on Loro Blonyo statue. See? Yeah. Same pattern? Maybe that's a clue that the Loro Blonyo statue... But those statues are new, aren't they? Yeah. And this is the first time I've ever seen them. The person who put a curse on your grandmother... ...wear the same pattern to synchronize the dark energy. That is Aunt Laras' necklace. Didn't I tell you... ...all of my father's wealth should've been given to me. Eyang... I know, I'm just... ...your step daughter. But I was my father's only daughter. I should've been the sole beneficiary. He shouldn't have given it to you. Or your grand daughter. Eyang... Eyang. But you never loved me anyway. Eyang! Shut up! You're a step daughter just like me! - Anya! - Eyang! Anya! Let's find them. - Eyang! - Eyang! - Anya! - Eyang! Eyang! Anya! - Eyang! - Anya! Anya! Eyang! Anya! They're not here, Gendis. - Oh no! There's an outage. - Give me one. Mrs. Ajeng. They're in the Batik House. - Anya! - Eyang! Anya! Eyang! Anya! Eyang! Anya! Anya! Eyang! Anya! Honey! Honey! What is it? There was... Eyang! - Eyang! - Eyang! Hurry up, Gendis! Anya! It's okay, sweetheart. I know who paid you to do this. I'm not afraid of you. Eyang, wake up! It's okay, Anya, I'm going to help you. Mommy! Eyang, wake up! - Mommy! - Gendis! - Gendis! - Mommy! Are you okay? Mommy! Mommy... Daddy, it's Eyang! Eyang! Mrs. Ajeng! Eyang! Eyang... Gendis? Reza, destroy it! No! It's going to worsen her pain. Laras is my daughter too. Are you all right? Is everybody okay? We have to go back to Jakarta. But I promise, I'll come visit you more often. Don't worry. She has many students, so everybody will take care of Eyang. - Right, Eyang? - Yes, but I only have one granddaughter. - Come visit me often. - We will. Can I come too? Especially you! I've never given you a cuddle. Well? Do you want to go home to Jakarta with Daddy or stay here with Eyang? - Daddy! - What? My chubby daughter... Daddy, stop it. - Are you going to Jakarta? - We are. Can I go with you again? Gees. - Shall we leave now? - Yeah. - Take care. - Alright, Eyang. I'll see you later, Mrs. Ajeng. - See you later, Eyang, Mrs. Ajeng. - Look, Satrio is already in the car. Get in the car, Anya. You're sitting in the middle. Bye!
This is more retarded than when I got that gumball stuck up my nose. Or the time I wanted to be the first white Harlem Globetrotter. And it's more embarrassing than the time my mom walked in on me while I was trying to simulate vaginal friction by rubbing my boner between the mattress and box springs. Why don't you go out and play. It's such a beautiful day. No, this tops it. And it's all because of Erica. Erica. It sounds so much like erotica. And it's fitting: She's a walking wet dream. The kind of girl whose mere glance at you could get your pecker to stand up and say, Howdy. And not your normal, run-of-the-mill erection. We're talking the kind that could be picked up on radar. The kind you could hang a flag from. And her easts. They must have tractor beams in them. They pull my hands toward them like the Death Star dragging in the Millennium Falcon. Come on, guys. If I had easts like that, I could have ruled the world. You are in love with her, no? No, I'm not. Then why are you sitting so funny? Nonno. Don't be ashamed. A man is two people: Himself and his penis. A man always takes his friend to the party, but of the two, the friend is nicer because he is more able to show his feelings. Does this Erica know what you think about her? She's got a boyfriend. They are not lovers? - I don't think so. - That is good. One pubic hair between a man and a woman can be stronger than the Atlantic cable. You're telling me. What is your problem with the Bella? She goes off to college on the East Coast in three months. Then you must declare your love to her immediately. - Are you crazy? - You must. - It is the only way. - Oh, no, no, no. She'll think I'm a spaz. Then you prefer to sit funny the rest of your life? Now, listen, ragazzo, I will tell you a story. It is about your great-great-grandfather. Giuseppe Luigi Bendini. When he was a boy your age, he was in love with the most beautiful girl in the village of Cascata. But the Bella she did not see anything in Giuseppe. So one day, Giuseppe, an enterprising young boy declared his love to her. He said: 'I, Giuseppe Luigi Bendini, love you, and to prove that I will always be there for you I will stand under your balcony day and night without relent until you fall in love with me. So Giuseppe stood outside that balcony day and night. Night and day. Until, finally, his love came out to the balcony and cried: Giuseppe Luigi Bendini, I love you! So Giuseppe climbed up to the balcony and into her bed. They made love so passionately that the ground shook. And villagers today still believe that's what caused the 1874 earthquake. I can't do that. You can, my friend. Women are like eaking into a bank. It takes nerve. It takes daring. Sometimes you need a little bit of dynamite to blow the vault. I don't know what it was. Maybe all the benzoyl peroxide in my zit cream had affected my ain. Or maybe I had a strange fetish for humiliation at the hands of a woman. I figured this stemmed from watching too many episodes of Julie Newmar as the Cat woman in all those Batman reruns. But it seemed like an audacious idea. I decided to try it. Peter, that is so sweet. I was beginning to think this might work when she said the most dreaded two words in the English language. But, Peter, we're just friends. Just friends. The words hit me like screaming lead shot from a .38. I wanna be just friends. It's just a flesh wound, my friend. It will not kill you. Get back up and fight. I'm not gonna give up so easily. But, Peter I was rudely interrupted by Erica's boyfriend, Nick. He's what I call a gaping asshole. You know, the type of guy that's going to college on a football scholarship. But what bothers me most is he's one of those macho dicks who's always grabbing his crotch and adjusting his balls. I mean, what's the deal? He acts like he's a guard at the Tower of London. He's gotta check every 10 seconds to see if the crown jewels are still there. And how come every asshole I know has to make that noise? You can hear a symphony of those in any boys' locker room. Is it like a lion roaring? The asshole who can hawk a loogie the loudest is the leader of the herd? Needless to say, Nick has been my nemesis since I was 5. - I forbid you to go out dressed like that. - Dad. No self-respecting Christian girl would be seen in public in a... Just get in the house. Get in the house. Erica. Erica. Erica! Erica looked more doable than Barbara Feldon in Get Smart. Erica! Get your... She kissed Nick so hard, I'm sure they could've swallowed each others uvulas. Erica, if you... What the hell's his story? She then proceeded to tell Nick what I was up to. And if things weren't hard enough, I encountered more unexpected problems. Well, our prayers have been answered. I have been asking God to send someone to take her away from that heathen boyfriend, Nick. - You're a miracle. - Yes. Erica's dad can never have a conversation without quoting some guy named Zig Ziglar, a Christian motivational speaker. Frankly, I'd never be caught dead quoting some guy named Zig. The difference between you and that barbarian, Nick, is that you... Remember what he said. Have a swelled heart, not a swelled head. I wanted to tell him that his daughter gave me both. But I didn't. Peter, I thought you might be hungry, so I ought cookies I made for the church bake sale. I wasn't all that surprised by the cookies. This is the same woman who encourages her youngest daughter, Mary to play with nun dolls. Now say 50 more. Hail Mary, Hail Mary. Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary... - Thanks. - Yes, yes, yes. Now let's face it. It's a proven fact that girls do not fall in love with any boy her parents actually like. I vowed at that very moment that I would find a way to make her parents hate me. I set Giuseppe to work on it. Go ahead, Peter, try it. My dad's reaction to my plan, when he heard about it from Mom registered on the Richter scale at Caltech. Peter. Peter! Stop acting like you don't hear me. Peter. Hell's bells. You get inside right this instant. - I'm not leaving this spot. - Yes, you are. - No, I'm not. - Yes, you are. You stop listening to your grandfather's nonsense. He's not all there. Now, come on. - Let go. I'm not hurting anyone. - You are acting like a fool. - Now, come on. - No. - Give it up, son. - Mom! - Listen to your father. - This is ridiculous. What will the neighbors think? Some of them are my patients. They'll stop coming to me if they think my son's a pervert who stands under girls' windows. - You're just embarrassing our entire family. - Dad! - I'm sorry. - Now, let go, Peter. My New Guinea impatiens! - I'm sorry. - What are you doing? Good old Nonno. Whenever a situation calls for it my grandfather pulls his infirm old man routine. I'm sorry. He's saved my life hundreds of times. I'm sorry. The same couldn't be said for my best friend, Matt. This is my last chance. Look, you know, I just don't wanna see you setting yourself up like this. I have been in love with Erica since we were kids. We used to play Cowboys and Indians together. When we were little, we used to do everything together. When you get mad at someone, you go like this: - It was great. - It'll never work. Why not? Because we're losers. Look, we've been picked by genetic selection to be the world's biggest living proof that this world is fucked. - How's that? - We lost the DNA lottery. We didn't get the asshole gene. See, we're the nice guys. We're never gonna succeed. Only the assholes get the girls and the dough, o. - You've got it all figured out. - Damn straight, I do. My parents think I'm going to college in the fall. I'm not going to college so I can be a jerk with a degree who assistant-manages a Burger King. Would you like fries with that, please? No way. - So you're just gonna give up? - Yep. - And I suppose you want me to give up too? - Exactly. You gotta become comfortably numb. You can't let anyone or anything disappoint you. You gotta be self-sufficient. I mean, look at me. Do I need a girl like Erica? No. Since you're gonna be here all summer, mind if I use your mailing address? - What for? - L1 sent away for something, and I don't want my mom to accidentally open it. So I figured you'll be out here, you can intercept it before anyone gets it. - Okay, I guess. - Yes. Hey. But admit it sometimes you wish you had a girlfriend. No way. Blockbuster, Domino's Pizza. Rosy Palm and her five friends are all I need for a great Saturday night. Maybe if you're 14. Okay, you do have a point. Sometimes I do need to spice up my love life a little bit. I'd like you to meet my date for the evening, Peter. You know, I read in Barely Legal magazine about this guy he got off humping fruit. You're a sick puppy. The sun is gonna make it nice and warm. Just like the real thing. Well, what about the seeds? Come on. I'm not gonna go down on it. I amused myself by watching the neighborhood. Life is my TV. And it was a little more interesting than network television. There was Mr. Mays. My parents think he works for the CIA or the FBI. It's because every time he comes home he drives around the block again and again to make sure he's not being followed. There's a kid on the street that's a pyromaniac. Matt made sure his parents had left him alone in the house. Bye, guys. He then went to the upstairs bathroom to make a more with his watermelon. And the guy across the street. I forget his name. But he seems so sad. His wife has cancer. He dutifully takes her out for a eath of fresh air every day. It's a good thing Erica isn't around. I got a woody watching Ms. Lewis work out to Buns of Steel. And pull. And pull. And pull. Mr. Mays put in a second lap. The crazy lady next door eats her dinner in the car. I was dismayed to see history repeating itself. Maybe Matt is right. Some people are born with the asshole gene, and some of us aren't. There was nothing much happening to keep me amused at night. At about 10, I saw Matt go out to the upstairs balcony. If he had been in there all that time that watermelon now had more holes in it than a Wiffle ball. Only the crazy lady was out. She was cutting her grass. It looked like there was something good on TV over at my house, and I wanted to watch it. But something got in the way. So I watered the plants instead. I figured I should take advantage of the time I had on my hands. I vowed that if I were to become Erica's boyfriend I had to become the greatest lover she had ever known. In pursuit of that goal, I decided I would become an expert in love. I started by reading The Joy of Sexuality. It wasn't the descriptions of the wildly uninhibited Chinese-style sex positions like the wailing monkey clasping a tree, or wild geese flying on their backs that I found most enlightening. It was the guy they picked to illustrate all the exotic conjugations. The guy is butt-ugly. And the girl was a babe. This was inspiring. I mean, if this Quest for Fire reject could get laid, why couldn't I? Oh, good, my parents aren't home from church yet. I'll meet you inside. I'm gonna have a talk with your friend Peter. Okay. So you're still here, huh? I would have thought you'd have gotten smart and given up by now. Why do guys always make that noise? What noise? This noise: I mean, you guys spit so much. Makes you wonder what you've been sucking on. Shut up. Oh, what a... What a demonstrative display of masculine aggression. Did you know that such behavior is a sign of latent homosexuality? I think it's time you left. - I'm not leaving. - You wanna fight? I'll give you a free shot. Go for it, my friend. How could I refuse this invitation? I was going to lose this fight, but at least I could get one killer shot in. So I charged the Prince of Darkness. Then I realized my mistake. It was a trick. It felt like my nuts had exploded. And it sounded like a pair of water balloons dropped off a building. That'll teach you, huh? I took it as a good sign that Erica was curious to see if I was still there. It was important that Erica never see me flag in my devotion by leaving my post. But on the other hand, I didn't wanna smell like my uncle Lou when Erica finally buckled under my romantic vigilance. So / figured while she was getting ready for the day I'd pop inside for a quick shower and some Cheerios. What are you doing? Changing the locks. When you finally give up this nonsense I'll let you back inside. Dad, give me a eak. Forget it. Mom. This was desperate. No food. No water. Nice. And I really needed to do some low-altitude bombing. I had no choice but to impose on my best friend, Matt. Hey, Matt, open up! I'm showering, man! The side door's open! What about a little privacy? Oh, man. Light a match. Sorry. Hey, where's your toothpaste? Oh, get out of here. People are gonna think we're queer or something. What the hell are you doing? I started reading The Joy of Sexuality checked out the part about cunnilingus. Wanted to make sure I was in shape. Cunnilingus. Yo, you've been checking out for my mail? Nothing came yet. Brought you some food. - No, thanks. - Come on, it's good. Sorry about the noise, Peter, but I'm putting locks on all the windows. I don't want Erica pulling another stunt like she did yesterday. Man. I wish you'd give this up, man. Listen, I'm not so sure I believe your theory about the asshole gene. Oh, come on. Look. I mean, it's everywhere you look. - Hey, you want a taste? - Yeah. That's an isolated case. All right. What if I told you that even our Founding Fathers were assholes? What are you talking about? Take the Boston Tea Party, for instance. All right? Even with taxation the British tea cost less than the colonial tea produced by those guys like John Hancock and Sam Adams. No, don't do it! No! See, the Boston Tea Party wasn't a political act. It was an industrial espionage. It was a scam by John Hancock and Sam Adams to put the British out of business. See? Even our Founding Fathers were a bunch of assholes. You've got a point. But I've been thinking about this, and I got a couple theories of my own. Shoot. Well, I think you can tell a lot about a woman's personality from the shape of her easts. What are you getting into right now? - Take Mrs. Olsen, for instance. - What have you done? Her boobs look like the turret on a tank. Her mammaries look like they could shoot a mortar charge, blow you to smithereens. You can see she has the same iron-fisted personality that matches her hooters. You have ever been in your life. All right, you got a point. Go on. Now, take the crazy lady next door. Now, don't give me the willies. No, look. She's got mashed-potato easts. Dude, they're so weird. - Yeah. Right. And she's weird too. - All right. But, you know, you're just giving me easy examples. All right. Ms. Lewis. Bosoms like melons that have been in the store a little too long. You may be taking a chance, buying them after the expiration date, but if you're lucky, they might still be good. She's the same way. She's a little older, but I bet she's a good woman. Okay, now, what can you deduce from Erica's easts? I've done a lot of thinking about this. As you can see, her easts are extremely firm. So taut, you expect the nipples to blow off like a cork out of a champagne bottle. I see this as a reflection of Erica's effervescent, wild life-is-a-party personality. It's also self-evident that her easts are on the small side. I suspect it's gonna take centuries for them to droop. Meaning that she will always be young at heart. But here's something that you may miss upon a cursory glance: Some women's nipples can become hard like pink pencil erasers, so hard that you could dial a phone with them, you know? These women, I suspect, are often more concerned with the particulars in life like avoiding laying in the wet spot. But with Erica notice how the nipple merges almost effortlessly with the areola inging a softness to her nipular area. I think this suggests a softness of heart. I mean, this is a girl more concerned with passion than particulars. Am I right? Matt? Pete, I gotta go. Something I gotta do at home. See you. I'm really hungry. Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry. The only thing I had eaten that day was Matt's watermelon. I hadn't eaten all of it for obvious reasons. So I was pretty hungry by the time Nonno snuck out of the house. Get down. Nonno, what are you doing out here? Goal! Goal! Goal! - Goal! - Okay. Okay. - Goal! - Okay. Okay. Marge! Your dad thinks he's in the World Cup again. I'm not cool enough. She's never gonna fall for me. Standing out here doesn't make any sense, Nonno. It makes all the sense in the world. You are trying to make love to a woman. You must know, deep in your heart of hearts that people are supposed to make love. It is our main purpose in life. All those other activities... Playing the violin, washing dishes, reading novels, drinking wine. Are just ways of passing time until you can make love again. Then my whole life is passing time. This is never gonna work. This Bella, Erica she will fall for you. Impossible. Crazier things have happened. - Let me tell you another story. - Oh, great. Look at all the trouble your last one got me into, Nonno. It is about a young Navy pilot. He could perform incredible maneuvers in his plane. Then, one day, he nearly crashed. The pilot went to the doctors and declared his problem. Hemorrhoids. A mass of dilated veins in the rectum. The doctor had them removed. What's so romantic about this story? The pilot met this nurse. Twice a day she would change his dressings, and apply ointment to his traumatized sphincter. The two got to talking. The nurse fell for the young pilot. Now, if that isn't love, I don't know what is. After two weeks, the couple got married. And if it wasn't for a swelling anus the two would never have met. Now I don't believe any of your stories. It's all true. Ask your mom and dad. - That was Mom and Dad? - Yep. My massive manhood must have been sapping all the blood from my ain. That's the only way I could explain my acceptance of this retarded, quixotic quest. Hours passed into days. Nick and I got to know each other better. I had time on my hands. I read the entire Kinsey reports and found out that 10 percent of all males attempt self-fellatio, and that 0.3 percent actually succeed. I had plenty of opportunity to watch the TV of life. All summer, I never saw Erica wear the same thing twice. And for Erica's sister, Halloween came early. - Now say 20 Hail Marys. - Hail Mary. Hail Mary. My dad couldn't figure out why his New Guinea impatiens wouldn't grow. Neither could I. I had been watering it regularly. Surprisingly enough, I earned some extra money on the side. Since I know you'll be here all the time I thought you could babysit Robert tonight. Hey, lady, did you ever think that tonight might be the night that Erica and I tried the wailing monkey clasping a tree act? Erica's father took a sculpting class that summer. - What is it? - It's the baby Jesus. I figured I'd get a little head start on our Nativity scene for next Christmas. Little Jesus look more like an aborted fetus, but I kept my mouth shut. Give me my plane! I took a liking to young Robert. Give me my plane! I was his guardian angel. Sort of. The next time this guy bothers you, all you have to do is stand up to him. All bullies are cowards. Trust me. Days soon passed into weeks. The guy across the street stopped taking his wife out. Now he just walks around the block alone. I hope she's all right. On Saturdays, things got a little boring. What is the Sea of Galilee called in the Old Testament? That's an easy one. The Sea of Chinnereth. My turn. Was there any money on Noah's Ark? - No. - Wrong. The duck had a bill, the skunk had a scent, and the frog had a green back. Listening to Erica's parents play Biblical Pursuit only strengthened my resolve to find a way to piss them off, and impress my beloved. I had Giuseppe working on it. Now pull. And pull. Some nights were better than others. All right, ladies, great workout. Okay, great. But twice a month, I would hear the most distressing sound I could hear: The noise of my parents making love. What's up, Pete? Hey. Anything come in the mail for me yet? Nope. The guy across the street has found a... A lady friend. I'm warning you. Don't do it. It wasn't until later that I began to have suspicions as to what the woman was imploring him not to do. Captain Nemo walked ahead of us, and his Herculean companion strode a few steps behind us. Conseil and I walked side by side as if a conversation might still be possible through our metallic helmets. Already I no longer felt the weight of my suit of my lead-soled boots, of my air tank or of my helmet... More than half the summer had passed, and everything still sucked the big one. I was nowhere near my beloved objective. Finally, in August Erica spoke to me. Peter? Erica. Hi. I was wondering if maybe you could help me do something. Anything. Well, my parents have grounded me, and I really wanna go see Nick tonight, so I was hoping you might help me get down. Okay. It was against my principles to help Erica with Nick, but this was at least a way to talk to her. And in that short skirt. I caught my first glimpse of Xanadu. My God, are you all right? I'm... I'm fine. Never better was more like it. - That's how Erica and I began talking. - I'm so sorry. Every night she would sneak out to visit Nick, and I would help her. And every night, I would find a new way for Erica to fall on me. Pussy Galore. - And we talked. - She was like this tough chick. And there is no doubt about it Roger Moore is by far the best James Bond. Roger Moore? Come on. Everybody knows Sean Connery is the best James Bond. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Roger Moore is the best James Bond. My God, what was I saying? Erica's beauty had more power over me than I thought. I mean, for me, Sean Connery is just way too hairy. And it really bugs me the way he talks like this. Where's M, Miss Moneypenny? Thank God they never replaced Desmond Llewelyn. He is so great as Q. Erica even knew that Desmond Llewelyn played Q. Now I know I'm in love. This may sound crazy, but sometimes when I'm depressed that the world is a really terrible place I find myself sympathizing with the Bond villains. - What do you mean? - Well remember how Curt Jurgens, in The Spy Who Loved Me wanted to create a perfect society under the sea? And in Moonraker, Hugo Drax wanted to do the same thing - in space? - Right. Well, these guys really weren't so bad. They were just tired of the war, the politics, pollution and... And wanted to change things. Then this handsome womanizer who's afraid of commitment pulls up in his fancy sports car and messes things up just to protect the status quo. I mean sometimes I wish the world could just start over, you know? That's deep. No, I think the blue M&M's, they were a good choice. No way. I talked to her more in those weeks than I did the previous 14 years I lived across the street from her. So if you were to be afflicted with either of the following, which would it be: Halitosis or incontinence? Halitosis. I figure I could always stock up on eath mints. Okay, I have one for you. Would you rather lose your eyesight, or the use of both of your legs? - That's too hard. - No. Come on. You have to answer. Those are the rules. Probably, I'd lose my eyesight. Your face is etched into my memory. I'd always be able to see you, and with my legs I could still make love to you. Good night, Peter. Night. Hey. What's up? You promise you're not gonna laugh? Sure. - Come on. You said you wouldn't laugh. - I'm sorry. - Can I feel? - Knock it off. Look, I was trying to spice up my love life, and my parents came home a little bit early. They wanted to talk to me and ended up searching for me. So I figured the best thing to do was just get out of the house. Here, unhook me. I don't know how girls do this because this thing was a bitch to get on. Come on. Yeah, it's a bitch. Here. Can you hang on to it till I can sneak it back in? And stop smirking. I'm not the first guy that's tried this. What does that Kinsey book say about it? I think maybe you should give it a rest for a while. You know, save some for your true love. Peter, remember that story we read in seventh grade the one in Scholastic Magazine about the heroin addict who was so whacked out that he pulled out his eyeballs? They said the dude's eyeballs was hanging down below his knees still attached to his veins or something. - Yeah, I remember. - Yeah. Well, it wasn't true. They just printed that to scare us. Look, it's all propaganda, Pete. Just like true love is. You know what? You and me ain't never gonna find it. Did you see that 0.3 percent of all males succeed in self-fellatio? Have you noticed the guy across the street never takes his wife out anymore? No. Anything come in the mail for me yet? Remember that weird conversation we saw him having with that woman? And she was saying, Don't do it. Don't do it. Yeah. Hey, maybe the other woman's his lover, right? And he says, I'm gonna kill my wife. And she says, No, don't do it. Don't do it. You think? Well, I know if my wife were an invalid, I'd be that horny. You're sick. Come on, Pete, everybody is. The question is what's he done with her body? How exactly would you go about cutting up a dead body? Well, that's a hacksaw. Me? I'd use a chain saw. The next day, little Robert decided to take my advice, and stand up to the tyranny of assholes. Little Robert was all right. He only needed 40 stitches and two casts. But I began to wonder whether I should've tampered with the cosmic order of things. I was practicing my one-handed technique when disaster struck. Nick and Erica had just come back from the lake. Unfortunately, Erica's parents let her out once in a while. No, come on. You remember in that one movie. I mean, that just proves that Roger Moore is by far the best James Bond. Erica looked great, of course. He's all right, I agree he's not bad. But I nearly hurled at the sight of Nick in his Speedo. He was huge! He immediately makes you think of the words Apollo rocket. How the hell was I gonna compete with that? I was India's space program compared to his Cape Kennedy. Hey, you ought the protection, right? The protection?! Where were her parents? Where was Christ's vice squad when I needed them most? Come in, Apollo 72. We have you cleared for takeoff. Roger that, mission control. We are ready for liftoff. We have liftoff in 10, nine I had to do something. I had to abort Nick's trip to Venus. I did the only thing I could think of. Two, one. I don't know why this came to me. It must have been a word association with come. It seemed to do the trick. Nick, stop. Apollo 12, we've had a malfunction. Abort liftoff. I had visions that I could take Nick out with my expert knowledge of the martial arts. Finish him! But that's not what happened. Towering above me, Nick hawked the biggest loogie ever. I trembled, knowing it was intended for me. Oh, my God. You stuff. You stuff. If you tell anybody, you're dead. Houston, we have liftoff. - Dad, what are you doing? - Having a yard sale. This is my stuff. Since you don't live with us anymore, didn't figure you needed it. How much for the Sandy Koufax baseball card? What, 25 cents? That's a collector's edition. It's worth 50 bucks. Really? Twenty-five cents and not a cent less. - Sold. - Thanks. Mom. Oh, how much for the electric tooth ush? For you, a special price. - A buck. - Yeah. - Here you go. - Thank you. Matt, what are you doing? I use one of these at my grandma's. If you do it right, feels just like a vi ator. Figlio, what the hell are you doing with your boy's things? - Dad, they're not his things. - Give you $5 for this collection of Playpen. - I give you 6! - You're not a customer. - You have no right to sell his things! - Pages are sticky. - That's disgusting. - No right! - Okay, 4 bucks. - Four bucks? No, no, no. No! - You have no right! You... - All right. - Papa? - Nonno? What's the matter? Are you all right? - Papal! - Okay. Okay. Give the man some room. Clear out. Good old Nonno. He saved the best trick in his arsenal for now. He was so convincing, I almost believed he was having a heart attack. - Yard sale's over! - Papa, speak to me! - Good one, Nonno. - Is anyone a doctor? Please, we need some help here! - I don't know what we can do. - What's happening? What is wrong? - Daddy. - He's not eathing. - What do you mean? - He doesn't have a pulse. Somebody call 911. - Somebody call 911! - Please call 911! - Nonno. - Do it now! Hurry! Hurry! Nonno. Tell them you're faking. Come on. - Are you faking, Daddy? - Come on. He's not faking. What...? Faking? Papa... Papa, speak to me. Oh, no. I didn't stand under Erica's window for the next couple of days. I figured I was allowed. My dad blamed me for what happened. He said if I still decided to continue with my lunacy he would continue to lock me out. With an asshole like my dad I'm surprised I didn't inherit the asshole gene. Is that what I think it is? Jesus. I'm getting excited right after my grandfather's own funeral. You must think I'm sick. I just think it means Nonno's spirit runs strong in you. Hey. Brought back your electric tooth ush. How thoughtful. You know, it doesn't vi ate as good as I thought it would. Here, feel. No, I'm not touching that, let alone putting it in my mouth. - I washed it off. I swear. - Just keep it. You're just in a crappy mood because you realize this Romeo act is a dumb-ass idea. I haven't decided whether to give this up yet. Erica was so sweet today, you could have poured her over pancakes. But she hasn't given me any indication that I have a chance with her. Well, I'll tell you. The fact that Nick's giving her the old Roto-Rooter ain't a good sign. Nonno was the only one who thought this was a good idea. Maybe I should just bite the big one and call it quits. Bite away, my friend. Stop it! Stop it! Stop! You see? Nice guys don't always finish last. You're not gonna give up now, are you? - Nope. - Oh, man. Your grandfather croaking was your perfect out. I started reading Casanova. I didn't know he got syphilis five times. I should be so lucky. The excitement of the past days had completely lobotomized me to what was going on across the street until I saw my man carry out some suspicious bags, and put them in the trunk of his car. A couple of nights later, I had an unexpected visitor. It was Ms. Lewis the pretty divorcée from down the street. Her body was smoldering like a lit cigarette. Hello, Peter. Ms. Lewis. I was hoping you could cut my grass. I'm not mowing lawns this year. I'll make it worth your while. And you won't have to bag it. I can't. What am I to do? It needs to be cut at least twice a week. It grows so fast. She was coming on to me. I was paralyzed. I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, I didn't have to do anything. She did it all. I thought, This might be my chance. If Erica comes to the balcony and sees me with another woman, she'll be jealous. Stay away from him. He's my man. Then I had a fear that Erica was the type of girl who would enjoy watching. I decided to put my all into it. If Erica saw how good I was, she would want me even more. But I also worried she might be as harsh on my performance as an East German judge. What was I doing? If Erica sees me like this I would jeopardize all I had worked for all summer. I had to stop, but Ms. Lewis was most persuasive. How could I tell her no now? I tried to think of anything other than sex. What happened? I don't know. Maybe now's not a good time. Perhaps it's... Perhaps it's because I've been trying to get this girl to notice me. Yes, I know. I know all about it. It's what makes you so exciting. I'm sorry. Hey! What happened to you? I tried to become part of that 0.3 percent. What do you mean? Your Kinsey reports. I tried to suck myself off and I hurt my neck. Now I gotta wear this stupid thing. - Hey, anything come in the mail for me yet? - Nope. What's the matter with you? Nothing. Something's wrong. Nothing's wrong. Yes, there is. See normally, you would have asked me if I succeeded in my venture of self-fellatio. But you didn't ask that. Well, did you? I will only tell you when you tell me what's wrong. Okay. I succeeded. - No, you didn't. - Yeah. Only for a second, though before I snapped something in my neck. Did you know it tastes like roast beef? Which I actually found reassuring. See, I always thought that girls must hate giving head, but if you think about it, it's kind of like a trip to the Sizzler. Come on, tell me what's bothering you. I'm running out of time. Erica leaves for college in a couple of weeks. I'm beginning to think this isn't gonna work. She probably thinks I'm even more of a schmuck. Yeah, well, I told you so. I don't need to hear that from you. You're supposed to be my friend. I was just trying to give you some good advice. Advice. Why would I take advice from a guy who oke his neck trying to suck his own dick? Because I am enterprising. There was one thing I hadn't tried yet to become Erica's love slave, and that was impressing her by pissing her parents off. Giuseppe had been working on a plan. We were just waiting for the right opportunity. Finally it presented itself. Erica's father and his friends were competing for some Easter pageant contest. One where 12 guys in bed sheets hold a pose of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper for over five minutes. The team with the best tableau gets to perform it at the National Cathedral for the president or something. Darn it, Phil. You moved. I couldn't help it. I had an itch. We were only two minutes and 13 seconds into it. We're gonna have to hold it twice that long if we stand any chance to win this thing. It's easy for you. You get to rest your elbows on the table. Try holding your arms out like this for five minutes. - It's not that hard. - Yeah? Then you try it. Why do you get to be Jesus every year? Because I organize this thing. I'm the leader. I'm tired of playing Judas all the time. Come on, Phil. You make a great Judas. What is that supposed to mean? And where do you think you're going, young lady? Nick got tickets to Lollapalooza, so we're going. Well, don't you remember? I banned you from going out. Can't you make an exception this one time? No! You're not leaving this house. Dad, what are you talking about? This is not fair! It is time, my friend. - You're treating me like I'm 10! - You're acting like you're 10! Now, I don't enjoy doing this, but it is my resp... Let her go, or the baby Jesus gets it. Peter. Wha...? I mean it. I cannot have you desecrate the baby Jesus. All right, Erica. You may go. Now give him to me. I'll give him back at the end of the summer, when Erica leaves for college. It's not fair you keep her locked up in here. Why, you... Get him! So how do you think Jesus really feels about having his name on all those bumper stickers? So my father's pretty pissed. Yeah. You didn't have to do that, you know. I wanted to. Thanks. Well, good night. What? She only gave you a peck on the cheek after what you did for her? I know. What does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. It means you ain't never gonna make the beast with two backs with her, friend. I don't know. We've been talking a lot lately. Yeah, sure. You're in the friend zone. - Is that bad? - Bad? It's the worst. Come on. Girls don't want a friend. They want a human piston. Well, maybe I still got a chance at becoming her human piston, as you put it. We're not that good of friends. Are you kidding me? You're doing life in the friend zone. - You think so? - I know so. So, what's up with our psycho killer over there across the street? Well, I snuck over there the other night to take a peek at what he was up to. - He nearly caught me. - See, I told you. I knew it. - The guy's nuts. - I'm not so sure. Past couple of nights I've seen him take garbage bags out filled with something. Bet you he's taking his wife out piece by piece. It's a lot of bags for just one person. Maybe he's taking out his whole family. I know I've thought about it myself. I don't think he has any family. It's here, man. - There you go. - Yes, it's here! - Look, dude, it's finally here! - What's finally here? It's an Orgasmatron. I ordered it in Shaved magazine. Check it out. See? It runs on battery or AC. It's a new era, Pete. You know they have a name now for electronic sex? - What's that? - Dildonics. Pretty cool. Dildonics. It kind of makes you sound like a homo. I never thought of it like that. Anyway, it's a bold new frontier, man. I'll let you borrow it any time you want. That's okay. Listen, with the way things are going with you you may wanna consider my plan of self-sufficiency. The friend zone had an incredible hold on me. I couldn't escape its hellish grasp. So who would you rather be: Paul McCartney or John Lennon? That's obvious. John Lennon. Yeah, but you'd be dead now. So what? At least I'd be the coolest of all the Beatles. I don't know. He did marry Yoko Ono. People underestimate Paul McCartney. He's written some pretty good music. Like Ebony and Ivory? Okay. You're right. You know, I don't think it'd be so hard being a songwriter. - Oh, yeah? - I mean, if you're a novelist you have to come up with every sentence, every word. If you're a businessman, your reports have to be well-thought-out - with sound financial conclusions, right? - Right. But if you're a songwriter, and you can't figure out how to end a song you just fade out. It's easy. Yeah. You're right. What other job lets you finish it up by just fading out? A film director. So it went on like this. Maybe Erica was right. We were just friends. You never told me. What's the worst thing your parents ever did to you? I guess the worst thing my dad ever did was speak at career day to my third-grade class. He talked for over half an hour about the joys of being a radiologist, and then proceeded to treat the entire class to a chocolate barium. That's bad. So, what about you? It must have been the time I was 5. My dad and I were at the Lighthouse Christian Store. It was January, and he was buying Christmas cards. He always does that. Buys Christmas cards in January when the previous year's selection go on sale. Anyway, I had just learned to count. So I was always counting things like the number of stop lights on the way to the store, stuff like that. When the cashier gave my dad his change back I had noticed that she'd given him the wrong amount. She'd given him too much. And I looked up at my dad, and he had noticed too. But he didn't do anything. He just took the money and put it in his wallet, and we left. It was right then, I guess that I stopped believing my parents were perfect people. Well good night, Peter. Night. If Erica had lost all trust in her parents, how could she trust anything? How could she trust that I loved her? I was beginning to think Matt was right. I had tried everything to win over my beloved Erica, but nothing had worked. Nothing was going to work. It had only stranded me in the friend zone like Charlton Heston being marooned in the Planet of the Apes. I was so unhappy. Whereas my best bud, Matt had fallen in love with a robot which gives blowjobs. Maybe I was the strange one, not him. At least he was happy. My dick! My dick! Here, you try. It's silly. So? It's fun. It'll make you feel like a kid again. Now, go on. That's it. Go, have fun. You know, everybody thinks you're crazy. So what? Well I mean, you gotta admit, you do some pretty weird things. I don't think so. Well explain why you sometimes go out to your car and eat dinner. My car radio gets better reception than the one on my stereo. I go out there to listen to my opera. What about doing your gardening in a scuba mask? I love to garden, but I'm allergic to pollen. It's the only way I can work in the yard without having my eyes all tear up. Okay. But admit it. Cutting your grass in the middle of the night? It's a little strange. With this humidity? Nighttime's the only sane time to cut the grass. What about sitting on your roof with the telephone? Oh, that. My best friend, Mabel, lives just a couple of blocks away from here. She's going senile, but she won't admit it, and she insists on driving her car. So when she's coming over to visit I go up on my roof. I can see her back out of her driveway. And if she makes a wrong turn I call her on her car phone, give her directions. Voila. - It all makes sense. - Everything does. Just depends on your perspective. This is the worst day of my life. The Orgasmatron shorted out on me. Gave my penis an electric shock. You didn't like that? No, you don't understand, okay? I can't get it up anymore. It doesn't work. Just leave it alone for a little while. I'm sure it just needs a little R and R. Yeah, I know. I tried that. I waited all morning and then tried it again. It still doesn't work. I couldn't even get it to go to half-mast. Hey, what if you're right? What if a guy only has a finite number of erections, and I've used all mine up? Well, what are you gonna do? I do have an emergency plan for such an event, but I'm gonna need your help. No way, man. It's too weird for me. Come on, man. Look, it's nothing like that, okay? I got some money saved up, and there's this lady on the boulevard. Let's just say she's an experienced lady. For 100 bucks, she'll do it any way you want. What do you need me for? I can't do this alone. I need you to go with me. Now, I got 150 saved up. Hey, we could work a two-for-one deal. No way. Come on, man. I'll even take sloppy seconds. Just forget it. I've only got a few days left to win Erica's love. Even if she doesn't fall in love with me I've decided to stick it out until the end of the summer. That way, I know I've tried everything. Please, man. Come on, man. It's an emergency. I need your help. I can't. What kind of friend are you? I mean, you've spent our last great summer together standing under some stupid girl's window. And do I say a word about it to you? No, not once. But then, when I need you in the middle of the biggest crisis in my life you don't even consider it? You're a dickwad, you know that? Yeah. No wonder Erica doesn't like you. - Take it back. - No. No. You know what? You're a as swipe, and she's never gonna love you. - Take it back! - No! - Come on! - Yeah. Take it back. - No! - Yeah. Yeah. Come here. My neck, man! Come on, my neck. Get off! Pretty stupid too, pal. Maybe I was stupid. That afternoon, my dad gave me proof that I had inherited this trait from him. I had just finished Casanova and had begun reading the love poems of Robert Browning, and his wife, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. She's the one who wrote: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Anyway, it was my parents' anniversary, and my father made the mistake of getting the wrong gift. I'm sorry, honey. My dad tried to salvage the situation by rushing out to the jewelry store. But that wasn't enough. When he came home, he was in for a big surprise. Honey, come on. Let me in. Please? Sweetheart? I got you another present. See? May I join you? Guess so. I always thought my dad was pretty lame. What did it say about me that my dad was using my strategy to win Erica to score points with Mom? I hoped my dad would have more luck with my mom than I was having with Erica. .He was beginning to get on my nerves. You ever tried that one on Mom? No. How about that? No. You've been married 18 years, you haven't tried that? Well, that area's a big mystery to me. I've never been able to figure it out. Well, no wonder she's so mad at you. Do you really think she wants that? Of course she does. You read what the book says. Thanks, Peter. Jesus Christ. Now even my dad was getting more action than I was. Hey-ho, Peter. - What's this? - This is eakfast. But I thought that... Look, I was all wrong about all this. I'm very sorry. And here's a copy of the house key. You can come back inside anytime you want. Thanks. And, son. I love you. You know the sad man across the street? The one who pushes his wife around in the wheelchair all the time? Well, I don't see her around there anymore. Like she's... She's gone. I've been watching him all summer, and secretly he's been taking things in and out of the house. Wait. So you think he killed his wife? Yeah. That's bull. I don't believe that. Yeah? Well, why don't you go over there and check it out. Because I got better things to do than prowl around some guy's back yard. I dare you to go. Oh, I'm not going over there. - L1 almost got caught last time. - I dare you both. Look, we'll all go. So we crossed the street to find out what happened to the man's wife making sure we didn't get run over by Mister Mays. - It's locked. Come on. - Erica, wait. No, don't open the door. Don't. It's unlocked. I knew you'd come back. You wanna see what's inside? Wanna see what I've done? I'll show you what I've done. - No, no! - No, man! You've been waiting all summer long. - Just relax. - No, we haven't. Let's go, Peter. Come on! We didn't do anything! This. This is what I've done. You built a swimming pool in your living room? No. Not just a swimming pool. I built paradise. A tropical paradise. Honey? - What's going on? - Nothing, my dear. Just some guests. My wife and I wanted to go back to Tahiti for our second honeymoon. But then she got so sick. She really loved the water, you see. I wanted to build a pool in our back yard, but the city wouldn't give me the permit in time. So. I built it here. In secret. For her. So that my love and I can go back to paradise. You won't tell anyone, will you? Where the apple reddens Never pry... Lest we lose our Edens Eve and I. Hi. Hi. So listen. I'm leaving tomorrow. Where you going? You're not gonna believe this, but I decided I'm gonna go to college. Right. Good. Erica's leaving for college too. Where is she? She's with Nick. He oke his leg. - Too bad. - Yeah. Lost his football scholarship. Like I said, too bad. So I guess I won't be seeing you around. No, no. I guess not. Peter, listen. I was kind of hoping that we could spend my last day here together. Elliot's having this party and I thought, you know, maybe we could go. Sounds good. But what if Erica, you know...? Erica. Well, I'll... I'll see you. Screw Erica. What? I said, screw Erica. I mean, if she's not willing to give me a chance by now, then she's nuts. No other man would go through what I did for her. If that love isn't good enough for her, well, so be it. I mean, there are plenty of other beautiful, mature women that want me. I even passed up a night with Ms. Lewis for Erica. You passed up Melon-Breast Lewis? If she doesn't love me by now, then I don't love her. Besides, she even thinks Roger Moore is the best James Bond. - Come on. Let's go. - All right. So listen. Did I tell you I revised my theory on self-sufficiency? I'm against it now. It's a little lonely. Peter? Peter, I need to talk to you. Peter? Peter? - Hi, Peter. - Hi, Ms. Lewis. What have you boys been up to? Well, we just got back from a party. Everybody's going off for college, so it was the last hurrah. Sounds like fun. Would you boys like to come in for a cup of hot cocoa? No, thanks. This is my friend Matt. Hi. Hi. I would love a cup of cocoa. It works! It actually works! It works! Erica? Peter. I missed you. So that's my story. It's all true. Give or take a few minor details. My grandfather was right. I now know, in my heart of hearts, that people are supposed to make love. It is our main purpose in life. All those other activities... Playing the violin, washing dishes, reading novels, drinking wine. Are just ways of passing time until you can make love again. ENGLISH

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR, WE SHOULD APPROACH WITH CAUTION. THE FREIGHTER CAPTAIN WAS OF QUESTIONABLE CHARACTER. WHERE ARE WE, MALCOLM? SIR? THIS ROOM, WHAT DID IT USED TO BE? A STORAGE BAY, SIR. CONDUIT HOUSINGS, I BELIEVE. BUT IT GOT RETROFITTED. STARFLEET WENT TO A LOT OF TROUBLE TO TURN IT INTO OUR NEW COMMAND CENTER. WHY IS THAT, MALCOLM? BECAUSE OF OUR MISSION, SIR.

WE'VE BEEN IN THIS EXPANSE FOR 6 WEEKS. WHAT DATA HAVE WE GATHERED? WHAT PIECES OF THE PUZZLE HAVE WE STARTED TO PUT TOGETHER? NOT A SINGLE ONE. WE DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF BEING SAFE OR CAUTIOUS ANYMORE. AND IF THE ONLY LEAD WE CAN FIND COMES FROM A FREIGHTER CAPTAIN OF QUESTIONABLE CHARACTER, THEN THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. UNDERSTOOD? UNDERSTOOD. chuckles IS THIS SEAT TAKEN? MA'AM. I'M HOSHI SATO. WE'VE FAMILIARIZED OURSELVES WITH ALL THE BRIDGE OFFICERS, ENSIGN. I'M MAJOR HAYES. THIS IS SERGEANT KEMPER.

WONDERS OF MODERN MEDICINE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR DOCTOR, SERGEANT? I IMAGINE YOU DON'T RUN INTO MANY DENOBULANS IN DULUTH, MINNESOTA. ACTUALLY, I'M STATIONED OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA. NO DENOBULANS, BUT WE HAVE OUR FAIR SHARE OF ALIEN VISITORS. YOU MUST HAVE GONE DEEP INTO OUR RECORDS. I HAVEN'T LIVED IN DULUTH SINCE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

I WOULD'VE KNOWN BY NOW. SEAL IT OFF. LET'S HOPE THIS LITTLE ANOMALY DOESN'T LAST ANY LONGER THAN THE OTHERS DID. rumbling AH... COME, LOOK AT THIS. THE PIGMENTATION IS FAR MORE COLORFUL THAN I WOULD HAVE SUSPECTED. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? OH, UH, XINDI EPITHELIAL CELLS HARVESTED FROM THE CORPSE THEY FOUND INSIDE THE CRASHED PROBE. IT LOOKS MORE LIKE SCALES. PRECISELY. WHEN I FINISH CONSTRUCTING MY PHYSIOMETRIC PROFILE, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TO FIND HE HAS, UH, REPTILIAN CHARACTERISTICS. YOU WANTED TO SEE ME? DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS? NO. COMMANDER TUCKER HAD ONE SISTER. SHE WAS KILLED IN THE ATTACK. I'M AWARE OF THAT. HE'S HAVING DIFFICULTY DEALING WITH THE LOSS. IT'S TO BE EXPECTED. MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT'S AFFECTING HIS SLEEP. I'VE BEEN GIVING HIM SEDATIVES, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM START TAPERING OFF. I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND. I BELIEVE THE COMMANDER WOULD BE A FINE CANDIDATE FOR VULCAN NEURO-PRESSURE. I DOUBT THE COMMANDER WOULD HAVE THE PATIENCE TO SIT IN ONE PLACE LONG ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH THE FIRST POSTURE. I'M CERTAIN WITH YOUR DELICATE GUIDANCE... DELICATE IS NOT A WORD I ASSOCIATE WITH MR. TUCKER. THE INSTRUCTION OF NEURO-PRESSURE IS A VERY INTIMATE ACT. AND HE'S SUFFERED A VERY INTIMATE LOSS. HE NEEDS YOUR HELP. HAVE HIM COME TO MY QUARTERS. THERE'S, UM, ONE LITTLE PROBLEM. ASSUMING THAT YOU'D AGREE TO MY REQUEST, I SUGGESTED ALL OF THIS TO COMMANDER TUCKER EARLIER TODAY. HE WAS LESS THAN ENTHUSIASTIC. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. PERHAPS IF I COULD GET HIM TO GO TO YOUR QUARTERS, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO CONVINCE HIM OF THE LASTING BENEFITS OF VULCAN NEURO-PRESSURE.

NEARLY IDENTICAL, BUT NOT QUITE. LIKE HUMANS AND NEANDERTHALS? A REASONABLE ANALOGY. AFTER ANALYZING THE REMAINS OF THE XINDI CORPSE, I WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE THE COMPUTER WITH ENOUGH DATA TO CREATE THIS RENDERING. HOWEVER, THIS HUMANOID IS REPTILIAN. THAT FINGER IS NOT. IT'S COVERED WITH SKIN, NOT UNLIKE YOURS OR MINE. BUT IT'S XINDI, ALL THE SAME. I WISH I COULD BE MORE HELPFUL, CAPTAIN. SIR. HOW'S IT COMING?

WE ONLY HAVE ONE BONE OF CONTENTION. THE MAJOR HERE THINKS MY SECURITY TEAM IS FAR TOO VALUABLE TO BRING DOWN AND PUT IN THE LINE OF FIRE. HE WANTS TO TAKE HIS MEN. IT'S A SIMPLE MATTER OF PRIORITIES. IF THOSE WARSHIPS GET HERE BEFORE WE RETURN FROM THE SURFACE, YOU COULD FIND YOURSELVES DEALING WITH A BOARDING PARTY. YOU'D BE IN BETTER HANDS WITH A SECURITY FORCE WHO KNOWS ENTERPRISE INSIDE AND OUT. I PLAN TO HAVE MY MEN BACK ON BOARD WITH THE CAPTAIN AND TRIP LONG BEFORE THOSE SHIPS ARRIVE. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR, WE CAN'T BE CERTAIN OF THAT. THE DECISION IS YOURS, LIEUTENANT, BUT I AGREE WITH MAJOR HAYES. YOUR TEAM MAY NOT BE BACK IN TIME.

THE 3 ALIEN WARSHIPS FOLLOWED ENTERPRISE FOR NEARLY AN HOUR, BUT COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH US. I GUESS THEY'LL HAVE TO LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR NEW ADDITIONS TO THEIR LABOR FORCE. COME IN. I'M TERRIBLY SORRY, CAPTAIN, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT WOULD'VE BEEN TO HAVE A XINDI TO HELP US. HE WASN'T A PARTICULARLY HELPFUL XINDI, DOCTOR. YOU'D BE SURPRISED. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL FOR HIM TO SPEAK, BUT HE MANAGED TO DICTATE THIS TO ME BEFORE HE DIED. HE SAID YOU'D KNOW WHAT IT MEANT. I'LL BE DAMNED. THEY'RE THE COORDINATES. I MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOWER FOR 2 HOURS. I STILL HAVE THAT CRAP IN MY HAIR AND UNDER MY NAILS. WE CLEARED BIO-SCAN. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. THE 2 NEW GUYS WHO GOT HURT, ARE THEY OK? THE DOCTOR'S GOT THEM BACK IN THEIR QUARTERS ALREADY. YOU GOT TO ADMIT, THEIR TEAM DID A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE JOB DOWN THERE. NOTHING YOUR GUYS COULDN'T HAVE DONE JUST AS WELL. I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT. SEE YOU IN THE MORNING. ALL RIGHT. AH, HOW ARE YOU FEELING, COMMANDER? TIRED. YOU SAID YOU'D GIVE ME SOMETHING TO SLEEP. VERY WELL. clears throat IF, UH, YOU WOULDN'T MIND, COMMANDER, I PROMISED T'POL I'D TAKE THESE BIO-SCANS TO HER QUARTERS, BUT I STILL HAVE QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO DO HERE. NO PROBLEM, DOC. THANKS. beeps SICKBAY TO T'POL. YES, DOCTOR. COMMANDER TUCKER'S ON HIS WAY TO YOUR QUARTERS. HE BELIEVES I JUST GAVE HIM A SEDATIVE, BUT IT WAS ONLY A PLACEBO. HE'S HAD A RATHER DIFFICULT DAY. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU. beeping SORRY TO DROP BY SO LATE, BUT, UH, PHLOX SAID YOU WERE EXPECTING THIS. THANK YOU. PLEASE, SIT DOWN. I DON'T THINK I'D BE VERY GOOD COMPANY RIGHT NOW. ANYWAY I STILL HAVE A FEW MORE SHOWERS TO TAKE BEFORE I GET ALL THIS TRELLIUM-D OFF ME. WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP OF TEA? THANKS, BUT IT MIGHT KEEP ME UP. THE DOCTOR JUST GAVE ME A SEDATIVE. YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING AS WELL? I NEVER WOULD HAVE PEGGED YOU FOR AN INSOMNIAC. I BELIEVE THE EXPANSE HAS BEEN DISRUPTING MY REM PATTERNS. PROBABLY NOTHING A GOOD HYPOSPRAY COULDN'T CURE. VULCAN SCIENCE TEACHES US TO PROMPT OUR BODIES TO CREATE THEIR OWN MEDICINES. SO, WHY ARE YOU STILL HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING? THE NEURAL NODES THAT NEED TO BE STIMULATED ARE DIFFICULT TO REACH. HMM. sighs PERHAPS YOU COULD HELP ME. I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF I CAN... THREE CENTIMETERS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FIFTH VERTEBRAE. YOU CAN APPLY CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE. I'M NOT SURE WHICH OF THESE IS... RIGHT THERE. RIGHT HERE? A LITTLE CLOSER TOGETHER. HARDER. HARDER. IF I PUSH ANY HARDER, I'LL KNOCK YOU OVER. JUST LIKE THAT. PLEASE CONTINUE. sighs THAT WAS FAR MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A HYPOSPRAY. GLAD TO BE OF ASSISTANCE. IT WOULD BE ONLY FAIR FOR ME TO RETURN THE FAVOR. PLEASE, DISROBE. chuckling I'M, UH... I'M REALLY FLATTERED, SUBCOMMANDER, AND DON'T THINK UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES I... I WOULDN'T JUMP AT THE CHANCE... ARE YOU IMPLYING I'M MAKING SEXUAL ADVANCES? NO, NO, NO, NO, NOT AT ALL. I... I WAS JUST... YOU SEE, THE DOCTOR GAVE ME THIS SEDATIVE, AND I THINK IT'S STARTING TO WORK. THE DOCTOR INJECTED YOU WITH A PLACEBO. HE SENT YOU BECAUSE HE WANTED ME TO PERSUADE YOU TO TRY VULCAN NEURO-PRESSURE. AS I PREDICTED, IT WAS A POINTLESS EXERCISE. WHY DIDN'T HE JUST ASK ME? HE DID. YOU REFUSED. SO THIS WHOLE THING WAS JUST A SETUP? THE DOCTOR KNOWS HOW INTRANSIGENT YOU CAN BE. INTRANSIGENT? UNWILLING TO COMPROMISE. I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, BUT IT JUST SO HAPPENS IT'S NOT TRUE. I'M AS WILLING TO COMPROMISE AS ANYONE ELSE. THEN TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT. gasps (Mayweather) SIR, WE'RE APPROACHING THE COORDINATES. TACTICAL ALERT.

I'M NOT DETECTING ANY PLANETS, INHABITED OR OTHERWISE. THAT SON OF A BITCH LIED TO US. PHLOX SAID THE XINDI USED HIS DYING BREATH TO GIVE US THESE COORDINATES. WHY WOULD HE LIE? SIR, I'M PICKING UP A DEBRIS FIELD. A SHIP? IT'S A LOT BIGGER THAN THAT. PUT IT UP. IT'S NEARLY 80 MILLION KILOMETERS LONG. IT WAS A PLANET. MOVE US IN CLOSER. HOW LONG AGO DID THIS HAPPEN? JUDGING BY THE FIELD DISPERSION, APPROXIMATELY 120 YEARS. I'M PRETTY SURE THERE WAS A POPULATION HERE, CAPTAIN. I'M PICKING UP REFINED METALS AND TRACES OF ALLOYS. SOME OF THEM MATCH THE HULL OF THE XINDI PROBE. THEY'RE BUILDING A WEAPON, PLANNING TO ANNIHILATE EARTH BECAUSE THEY THINK WE'RE GOING TO DESTROY THEIR WORLD IN 400 YEARS. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE IF THEIR WORLD DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE, HASN'T EXISTED FOR DECADES? WE KNOW THE PROBE THAT ATTACKED EARTH WAS BUILT SOMEWHERE IN THIS EXPANSE, AND IT WAS BUILT RECENTLY. IT'S LOGICAL TO ASSUME THE NEW WEAPON IS BEING DEVELOPED AT THE SAME LOCATION. BUT, IF IT'S NOT HERE... PREPARE TO GO TO WARP 4. WHAT COURSE, SIR? DEEPER INTO THE EXPANSE. LONG-RANGE SENSORS ARE SHOWING INCREASING NUMBERS OF SPATIAL DISTORTIONS. YOU HEARD ME, TRAVIS. THEY SCANNED THE DEBRIS AND LEFT NEARLY 3 HOURS AGO. (Xindi-humanoid) THEY'RE HEADING?

RESUME OUR PREVIOUS COURSE, ONE-QUARTER IMPULSE. UNDERSTOOD. IT MIGHT BE BEST TO COMPLETE REPAIRS BEFORE WE HEAD DEEPER INTO THE EXPANSE. IF WE ENCOUNTER ANY MORE ANOMALIES... THOSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR LESS THAN 2 DAYS. WHOEVER ATTACKED THEM COULD STILL BE NEARBY. WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE REPAIRS ON THE MOVE. MR. REED RECOVERED SOME DATA FROM THEIR BRIDGE.

COULD BE BETTER. CREATING A STABLE WARP FIELD ISN'T EASY WHEN THE LAWS OF PHYSICS WON'T COOPERATE. THE COCHRANE EQUATION. IT'S NOT CONSTANT HERE. THE PROBLEM'S IN THE QUANTUM VARIABLES. EVERY TIME I TRY TO COMPENSATE, THE SPATIAL GRADIENTS GET THROWN OUT OF WHACK. EITHER WE GET AWAY FROM THESE ANOMALIES, OR WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REWRITE THE BOOK ON WARP THEORY. AND I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW LONG... IT TOOK ZEFRAM COCHRANETHE FIRS. WHAT ABOUT TACTICAL SYSTEMS? WEAPONS SHOULD BE UP AND RUNNING WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO. MAKE IT A PRIORITY.

WHAT ABOUT HIM? A FEW INTERNAL INJURIES. I'LL NEED TO KEEP HIM UNDER OBSERVATION. YOU CAN OBSERVE HIM IN THE BRIG. SEE TO IT. AYE, SIR. YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT I RECOGNIZE HIS SPECIES. HE'S OSAARIAN. HE'S NOT FROM THE EXPANSE? NOT ORIGINALLY. HOW BAD IS IT? THEY MADE OFF WITH 3 PHOTONIC TORPEDOES, A CASE OF PLASMA RIFLES, 2 DOZEN STUN GRENADES. CHEF SAYS THEY CLEANED OUT HALF THE FOOD STORES. CARGO BAY 2 HAS BEEN STRIPPED TO THE BULKHEADS. BUT THAT'S NOT THE WORST OF IT. THEY TOOK EVERY ONE OF OUR ANTIMATTER STORAGE PODS. ALL WE'VE GOT LEFT IS WHAT'S IN THE MAIN REACTOR. HOW LONG WILL THAT LAST? A MONTH? TOPS. AFTER THAT, WE'RE OUT OF GAS. THIS IS ALL YOU'VE GOT? THE HIGH COMMAND HASN'T HAD MUCH CONTACT WITH THE OSAARIANS. THEY HAVE A LARGE MERCHANT FLEET, BUT THERE'S NO RECORD OF PIRACY. ANY LUCK TRACKING THEIR SHIP? NOT YET. THEY'VE FOUND A WAY TO MASK THEIR ION TRAIL. FOR PEOPLE WITH NO HISTORY OF PIRACY, THEY'VE GOTTEN PRETTY GOOD AT IT. KEEP LOOKING. IT APPEARS THEY'VE ADAPTED THEIR WEAPONS AND ENGINES TO COMPENSATE FOR THE ANOMALIES. PURSUING THEM WILL BE DANGEROUS. WE SHOULD CONSIDER OTHER ALTERNATIVES. SUCH AS WHAT? WAITING FOR OUR ANTIMATTER TO RUN DRY? I'M ONLY SUGGESTING THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO REPLENISH OUR SUPPLIES ELSEWHERE. KEEP LOOKING. OPEN IT. beeping DR. PHLOX SAID YOUR INJURIES WERE MINOR. PLEASE GET UP. WHY? I HAVE A DEAD CREWMAN. I DIDN'T KILL HIM. NO. ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS DID. BUT I DON'T HAVE ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS, I HAVE YOU. SO GET UP AND LOOK AT ME. THANK YOU. YOU'RE GOING TO HELP ME FIND YOUR SHIP. scoffs AND AFTER I'VE TAKEN BACK WHAT THEY STOLE FROM ME, YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE FREE TO GO. IF YOU WENT ANYWHERE NEAR THAT SHIP, YOU'D HAVE MORE THAN ONE DEAD CREWMAN. I CAN'T HELP YOU. EVEN IF I COULD, MY CAPTAIN WOULDN'T... BE VERY INTERESTED IN HAVING ME BACK. WOULD HE? NOT AFTER I TOLD YOU WHERE TO FIND HIM. THAT'S A RISK YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE. BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS GOING TO BE A LOT LESS PLEASANT. scoffs I DON'T THINK YOU'D BE VERY COMFORTABLE TORTURING ANOTHER MAN. YOU AND YOUR CREWMATES ARE FAR TOO CIVILIZED FOR THAT. TOO MORAL. I NEED WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM ME. THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE TO LET MY MORALITY GET IN THE WAY. YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NEW TO THIS EXPANSE. IF YOU WEREN'T, YOUR SHIP'S HULL WOULD BE INSULATED WITH TRELLIUM-D. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT A SPATIAL DISTORTION CAN DO TO A SHIP THAT IS NOT INSULATED WITH TRELLIUM-D? WHAT IT CAN DO TO THE PEOPLE INSIDE THAT SHIP? YOU MASKED YOUR ION TRAIL. HOW? WELL, MY CAPTAIN'S A VERY CLEVER MAN. HE HAS TO BE. WHEN YOU'RE FORCED TO RESORT TO DESPERATE MEASURES IN ORDER TO SURVIVE... YOU HAVE TO BE CLEVER. YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO HIDE. SO YOU WERE FORCED INTO PIRACY. WHEN WE ENTERED THIS EXPANSE, WE WERE NO DIFFERENT THAN YOU. 2 MERCHANT SHIPS LOOKING FOR TRADE ROUTES. THEN THE FIRST DISTORTION HIT US. WE DECIDED TO RETURN HOME. BUT THE PERIMETER, THE THERMOBARIC CLOUDS, THEY LET YOU IN, BUT THEY DON'T LET YOU OUT. ONE OF OUR SHIPS WAS DESTROYED TRYING. AFTER A FEW MORE ENCOUNTERS WITH THE ANOMALIES, IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE WE BECAME PREDATORS. THIS SECTION OF THE EXPANSE PROVED TO BE IDEAL FOR HUNTING. WHEN A SHIP RUNS AGROUND DUE TO SPATIAL DISTORTIONS, IT BECOMES AN EASY TARGET. OUR CAPTAIN TOLD US WE WOULDN'T HARM ANYONE AND WE DIDN'T. NOT AT FIRST. IT TAKES TIME TO LEARN TO KILL WITHOUT REMORSE. YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TO KILL, OR TORTURE. scoffs NOT YET. I'M PREPARED TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FIND YOUR SHIP. AND IF THAT ENDS UP CAUSING ME REMORSE, THEN IT'S SOMETHING I'M WILLING TO LIVE WITH. THINK ABOUT IT. I'VE BEEN STUDYING THE DATA RECOVERED FROM THE DERELICT. APPARENTLY, THEY DECIDED TO LOOK FOR THE OSAARIANS AS WELL. THEY FOUND A WAY TO MODIFY THEIR SENSORS TO DETECT THE ION TRAIL. BUT THEIR LIFE-SUPPORT FAILED BEFORE THEY HAD A CHANCE TO START. DID THEY LEAVE A RECORD OF THE MODIFICATIONS? I'VE ALREADY GIVEN IT TO ENSIGN MAYWEATHER. WHAT'S OUR TACTICAL SITUATION? HULL PLATING'S BACK ONLINE. WE SHOULD HAVE PHASE-CANNONS WITHIN THE HOUR. TORPEDOES? LIEUTENANT REED IS STILL HAVING DIFFICULTY MODIFYING THE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS... TO COMPENSATE FOR THE ANOMALIES. I'LL BE IN THE ARMORY. beeping BLACK TEA, HOT.

THE CAPTAIN AND I MANAGED TO BRING THE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS ONLINE, BUT I'M GOING TO NEED MORE TIME FOR THE AFT LAUNCHERS. FULLER KNEW THOSE TORPEDO SYSTEMS BETTER THAN ANYONE. HE WON'T BE EASY TO REPLACE. CONSIDERING ALL THE HOSTILE ALIENS WE'VE MET, I SUPPOSE IT'S FORTUNATE WE HAVEN'T LOST MORE PEOPLE. I DOUBT HE'LL BE THE LAST. THERE'S NO REASON TO GET CYNICAL. EVERY SPECIES WE RUN INTO SEEMS TO BE GUNNING FOR US. WE MIGHT AS WELL PAINT A GIANT BULLS-EYE ON THE HULL. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST WE DO? TURN AROUND AND GO BACK TO EARTH? ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT THIS MISSION, WHETHER IT SUCCEEDS OR NOT, IS LOOKING LIKE A ONE-WAY TICKET ALL THE TIME. (Archer) CAPTAIN'S STARLOG, SUPPLEMENTAL.

CURIOUS. THE TRAIL RESUMES AFTER ANOTHER 70,000 KILOMETERS. LET'S SEE IT. (Mayweather) SHOULD I ALTER COURSE? NOT YET. WHY WOULD THERE BE SUCH A LARGE GAP? THE IONS MAY HAVE BEEN DISPERSED BY STELLAR WINDS. THERE WOULD STILL BE SOME RESIDUAL PARTICLES. CAPTAIN. THE PARTICLE DECAY RATES DON'T MATCH. THIS ONE IS AT LEAST 9 HOURS OLD.

TAKE US INTO ORBIT. beeping I'M DETECTING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PORTAL 22 DEGREES NORTH OF OUR CURRENT POSITION. PUT IT UP. CAN YOU TELL WHAT THE DOOR'S MADE OF? POLYDURANIUM.

I GUESS I'M GETTING A LITTLE PUNCHY. WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU'VE SLEPT? I GOT A FULL HOUR LAST NIGHT. I'M SURPRISED THE NEURO-PRESSURE ISN'T HELPING. T'POL TOLD ME YOUR FIRST TREATMENT WENT WELL. WELL, WE ONLY HAD THE ONE SESSION. HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF FREE TIME LATELY. ARE YOU CERTAIN THAT'S THE REASON? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? VULCAN NEURO-PRESSURE REQUIRES A CERTAIN DEGREE OF INTIMACY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT IT MIGHT MAKE YOU, UH, UNCOMFORTABLE. IT DOESN'T MAKE ME UNCOMFORTABLE. I JUST CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND AN HOUR EVERY NIGHT IN T'POL'S QUARTERS. CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE INJECTIONS? THEY PUT ME OUT LIKE A LIGHT. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. THERE IS ANOTHER TREATMENT THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. ALL RIGHT, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT? ALDEBARAN MUD LEECHES. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THEM? PLACE ONE ON YOUR CHEST AND ONE ON YOUR ABDOMEN AN HOUR BEFORE GOING TO BED. THEIR SECRETIONS ACT AS A NATURAL SEDATIVE. OH, UH, PLEASE, BE CAREFUL TO SLEEP ON YOUR BACK. IF YOU ROLL OVER, YOU MIGHT ANGER THEM. MAYBE AN HOUR A NIGHT WITH T'POL ISN'T SO BAD.

THIS IS THE LAST PLANET THEY VISITED BEFORE THEY WERE ATTACKED BY THE MARAUDERS. DOES IT SAY WHAT THEY WERE DOING THERE? NO. BUT IT'S ONLY A DAY AWAY. WE DON'T KNOW IF THESE XINDI WERE INVOLVED... WITH THE ONES WHO ATTACKED EARTH. WE DON'T KNOW THEY WEREN'T. TELL TRAVIS TO SET A COURSE. (T'Pol) THE ECOSYSTEM IS PROLIFIC. THERE ARE SEVERAL MILLION CHROMOPHYLLIC PLANT SPECIES ALONE.

THE ONLY REASON I DON'T HAVE A SEARCH PARTY DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE YOU NEEDED TIME TO ANALYZE THE DATA. NOW UNLESS YOU CAN GIVE ME A DAMN GOOD REASON TO WAIT AROUND... WHEN T'POL CALLED THE SHIP, SHE SAID SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING TO THEM. SHE SAID THEY WERE BEING ALTERED. IT'S POSSIBLE SHE WAS SPEAKING LITERALLY.

FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN OF THE EXPANSE, IT'S A POSSIBILITY WE HAVE TO CONSIDER. THE LAWS OF BIOCHEMISTRY ON THIS WORLD MAYBE JUST AS UNPREDICTABLE AS THE LAWS OF PHYSICS.

THEY SEEM TO NEUTRALIZE THE PATHOGEN. I'VE BEEN SYNTHESIZING AN ANTI-VIRUS USING T'POL'S GENETIC PROFILE, BUT I NEED AN ACTIVE SAMPLE OF HER D.N.A. TO COMPLETE IT.

PREPARE TO BE BOARDED. NO ONE'S COMIN' ABOARD UNLESS I SAY SO. THE INFECTED ORGANISM MUST BE ERADICATED BEFORE THE VIRUS CAN SPREAD. THAT INFECTED ORGANISM IS A MEMBER OF MY CREW. DOES HE STILL LOOK LIKE ONE OF YOUR CREW? DOES HE RECOGNIZE YOU, OR EVEN SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE ANYMORE? WE'VE BEEN STUDYING THE MUTAGEN FOR 60 YEARS. THE ONLY COURSE OF ACTION IS TO NEUTRALIZE THE OUTBREAK. THERE ISN'T ANY OUTBREAK. LIEUTENANT REED IS IN MEDICAL ISOLATION. WE WON'T ALLOW YOUR VESSEL TO LEAVE ORBIT WITH THE CONTAGION ABOARD. LOOK, WE'VE ONLY BEEN DEALING WITH THIS VIRUS FOR ONE DAY. SO FORGIVE ME IF I DON'T TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT THAT THE ONLY OPTION IS TO NEUTRALIZE OUR TACTICAL OFFICER.

YOU WOULDN'T BE SO CONFIDENT IF YOU KNEW HOW EASILY THIS VIRUS CAN SPREAD. IT INFECTED TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON MY WORLD. THEY ALL HAD TO BE DESTROYED. DESTROYED? THE VIRUS WOULD HAVE TRANSFORMED OUR ENTIRE POPULATION WITHIN WEEKS. WHERE DID IT COME FROM? IT WAS ENGINEERED BY THE INHABITANTS OF THIS PLANET, A RACE CALLED THE LOQUE'EQUE. SOMETHING DECIMATED THEIR SPECIES CENTURIES AGO AND THEY LOST THE ABILITY TO REPRODUCE. SO THEY CREATED THIS VIRUS TO TRANSFORM OTHER SPECIES INTO THEIR OWN. IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE THEMSELVES FROM EXTINCTION. INGENIOUS. BUT WHY DIDN'T THEY PROGRAM THE VIRUS TO STOP REPLICATING ONCE THEIR POPULATION WAS REPLENISHED? WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR A LONG TIME. WHY'S HE SO EAGER TO GET BACK TO A PLACE CALLED URQUAT? THE MUTAGEN ENCODES THE VICTIMS WITH AN OVERPOWERING INSTINCT TO RETURN TO THEIR HOME CITY, URQUAT. THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T ALLOW EVEN A SINGLE INFECTED ORGANISM TO LEAVE THIS PLANET. THEY COULD SPREAD THE CONTAGION TO OTHER SYSTEMS AND ANYONE WHO BECAME INFECTED WOULD BE DRAWN BACK HERE. WE CAN'T RISK ANOTHER EPIDEMIC. device beeping YES?

IF SHE WERE HUMAN OR DENOBULAN FOR THAT MATTER, SHE'D PROBABLY BE DEAD. BUT VULCAN NEUROPHYSIOLOGY IS A GREAT DEAL MORE RESILIENT THAN OURS. I WANT TO TALK TO HER. I HAVE TO FINISH TREATING HER INJURIES FIRST. HOW LONG? A FEW HOURS. HAVE PHLOX TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR HEAD. beeping WHO WERE YOU TRYING TO CONTACT? I'M SORRY. I ASKED YOU A QUESTION. I CAN'T ANSWER IT. WHAT DID YOU DO TO T'POL? SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE RESISTED. WHO ARE YOU? I TOLD YOU. MY NAME IS RAJllN. THAT'S RIGHT. KIDNAPPED WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, SOLD INTO A LIFE OF SLAVERY. AND IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT YOU HAPPENED TO ESCAPE WHEN I WAS AT THAT MARKET. THE CHEMIST KNEW I WAS LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE XINDI. IS THAT WHY YOU SHOWED UP SO CONVENIENTLY? THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT YOU'RE IN DANGER. CARE TO BE A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC? IF I SAY ANYTHING ELSE, THEY'LL KILL ME. WHO? THE XINDI? HOW DO YOU KNOW I WON'T DO THE SAME? IT'S TRUE THAT I DECEIVED YOU. BUT THAT DIDN'T MAKE YOUR DECISION TO HELP ME ANY LESS ADMIRABLE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU HARMED, CAPTAIN. THE BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS LET ME GO.

THEY'RE BUILDING A WEAPON. WE KNOW THAT. THIS IS DIFFERENT. A BIO-WEAPON. GO ON. THEY NEED DATA ABOUT YOUR SPECIES BEFORE THEY CAN BEGIN. WHERE ARE THEY BUILDING THE WEAPON? I DON'T KNOW. WHEN WILL IT BE READY? I DON'T KNOW. THEY DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING ELSE. GET A SECURITY DETAIL DOWN HERE. NO ONE'S TAKING HER ANYWHERE.

NOT THIS ONE. HE WAS SURGICALLY ENHANCED IF YOU CAN CALL IT AN ENHANCEMENT. I WANT A COMPLETE AUTOPSY, DOCTOR. AND HAVE MALCOLM TAKE THIS WEAPON APART. I WANT TO FIND OUT ITS RANGE, POWER OUTPUT, AND HOW WE CAN DEFEND AGAINST IT. AYE, SIR. ARE YOU OK? YES. GOOD. BECAUSE I WANT AN ANALYSIS OF THE SCANS WE TOOK OF THOSE XINDI SHIPS AND FIND OUT WHAT YOU CAN ABOUT THAT VORTEX THEY WENT THROUGH. I DON'T WANT THEM DROPPING IN UNANNOUNCED AGAIN. DISMISSED. YOU'VE PUT ALL OF OUR WORK AT RISK. AND EXPOSED US TO THE HUMANS. ALLOWED ONE OF YOUR SOLDIERS TO BE CAPTURED. AH! HE WASN'T TAKEN ALIVE. YOU AGREED TO GIVE ME MORE TIME. YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA TO CONSTRUCT THE BIO-WEAPON. DON'T WE? BRING HER! footsteps approaching SHOW THEM. SHOW THEM.

MAYBE WE SHOULD START IT UP AGAIN. THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF TIME FOR MOVIES AFTER WE'VE DEALT WITH THE XINDI. NO ONE HATES THE XINDI MORE THAN I DO, CAPTAIN. BUT I'M TELLING YOU, THIS CREW NEEDS A LITTLE R & R. UNLESS YOU WANT PHLOX TO START MEDICATING PEOPLE, WE GOTTA... WE GOTTA FIND A WAY TO BOOST MORALE. WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND? I WAS THINKING ABOUT A COMEDY. ONE OF THE CLASSIC HOPE AND CROSBY PICTURES. GOOD CHOICE. CAPTAIN? WE'VE BEEN REVIEWING SOME OF THESE XINDI STARCHARTS. TRIP THOUGHT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US FIGURE OUT IF THERE ARE ANY MORE SPATIAL ANOMALIES IN THE REGION. I WOULD HAVE HELPED YOU DO THAT. IT'S LATE. I DIDN'T WANT TO GET YOU OUT OF BED.

(Trip) I CAN GUESS WHY THEY WERE INTERESTED IN THIS FIELD. THE ASTEROIDS ARE LOADED WITH TRELLIUM ORE. IT LOOKS A LITTLE TOO CROWDED IN THERE FOR ENTERPRISE. WAKE UP MR. REED.

I SERVED ON IT FOR OVER A YEAR. IT WAS MY LAST ASSIGNMENT BEFORE JOINING THE CONSULATE ON EARTH. I WAS THE DEPUTY SCIENCE OFFICER UNDER CAPTAIN VORIS. ANY IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING IN THE EXPANSE? THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO CHART THE THERMOBARIC PERIMETER. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, THEY REPORTED THAT THEY'D BECOME CAUGHT IN SOME KIND OF SUBSPACE EDDY. AND WERE BEING PULLED INTO THE EXPANSE. IT WAS THEIR FINAL TRANSMISSION. THE VANKAARA WAS SENT TO FIND THEM. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT CREW.

MAY I ASK YOU A QUESTION? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS CREW COULD TURN SO VIOLENT WHEN VULCANS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE EMOTIONS? A COMMON MISCONCEPTION. WE HAVE EMOTIONS. WE SIMPLY KEEP THEM SUPPRESSED, UNDER CONTROL. SOMETHING HAS OBVIOUSLY CAUSED THEM TO LOSE THAT CONTROL. WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO KILL US? THERE WAS A TIME IN THE PAST WHEN WE WERE AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT RACE. WE NEARLY DESTROYED OURSELVES. PARANOIA AND HOMICIDAL RAGE WERE COMMON. (Reed) 5 METERS.

THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER WAY, SIR. IF WE OVERLOAD THE POWER GRID, IT WOULD DISRUPT THE SYSTEMS ALL OVER THE SHIP INCLUDING THE BULKHEAD MECHANISMS. THE WARP REACTOR IS UNSTABLE AS IT IS. DISRUPTING MAIN POWER COULD SHUT DOWN THE ANTIMATTER CONTAINMENT. YOU'D CAUSE A REACTOR BREACH. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE. YOU WANT TO KILL ALL OF US. YOU DON'T TRUST VULCANS. YOU NEVER HAVE. SIR, THAT PISTOL'S SET TO KILL. GIVE ME THE WEAPON. DON'T THINK I'VE FORGOTTEN. YOU BLAMED US FOR HOLDING YOU BACK, FOR UNDERMINING YOUR FATHER'S WORK.

THE CREW OF THE SELEYA, HOWEVER, HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF WANDERING INTO AN ASTEROID FIELD FILLED WITH THE COMPOUND. TRELLIUM-D IS A POTENT NEUROTOXIN TO THE VULCAN NERVOUS SYSTEM. IT DISRUPTS THE SYNAPTIC PATHWAYS THAT ALLOW THEM TO CONTROL EMOTIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE RATE OF DECAY IS ACCELERATING. (Archer) IS IT TOO LATE?

THE INTERFERENCE PATTERNS IMPLIED ANOTHER WAVE SOURCE. A 2ND SPHERE? IT APPEARS SO. THE SIMULATION SUGGESTS THAT THE ANOMALIES OCCUR WHERE THE WAVES INTERSECT. IF YOU'RE RIGHT, THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO START PREDICTING WHERE WE'RE GOING TO RUN INTO TROUBLE. IF WE'RE GOING TO CREATE AN ACCURATE MAP, WE'LL NEED PRECISE MEASUREMENTS OF THE SPHERE'S GRAVIMETRIC FIELDS. ASSUMING THERE IS A 2ND SPHERE. HOW FAR AWAY IS IT? LESS THAN 4 LIGHT-YEARS. SET A COURSE. NOTHING? (Reed) I RAN EVERY SCAN IN THE BOOK. THERE'S NO SIGN OF ANY INTRUDER ANYWHERE ON THE SHIP. MAYBE OUR SENSORS MISSED SOMETHING.

IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE THE ENEMY OUT OF THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS CALLED PARANOIA. WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON.

WHAT DID HE TELL YOU ABOUT THE XINDI? HE'S SAVING THAT FOR MY VISIT. HE COULD HAVE GIVEN YOU SOMETHING AS A SHOW OF GOOD FAITH. THIS COULD BE ANOTHER ATTEMPT BY THE XINDI TO INFILTRATE ENTERPRISE. I THINK HE WANTS TO HELP. HE WAS HORRIFIED THAT 7 MILLION OF US WERE KILLED. HE SAYS HE'S WILLING TO USE HIS ABILITIES TO HELP US FIND THE XINDI. I THINK THAT'S REASON ENOUGH TO MEET WITH HIM. ARCHER TO MAYWEATHER. (Mayweather) GO AHEAD, SIR. WE'RE TAKING A SLIGHT DETOUR. wind howling doors shut (male voice) I ASKED HOSHI TO COME ALONE. THE CAPTAIN'S ALWAYS A PART OF FIRST CONTACT MISSIONS. STARFLEET REGULATIONS. I HOPE THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. NOT AT ALL, CAPTAIN. I'M PLEASED ALL 3 OF YOU COULD COME. MY NAME IS TARQUIN. I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED. I DIDN'T WANT TO FRIGHTEN YOU. SO I CREATED A HUMAN IMAGE WHEN I CONTACTED YOU ON ENTERPRISE. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO ME. YOU SAID YOU COULD HELP US WITH OUR MISSION. YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR A WEAPON THAT COULD ANNIHILATE YOUR PLANET. I MAY BE ABLE TO FIND IT. BUT I'LL NEED AN OBJECT THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE XINDI. WHY? EVERY ARTIFACT RETAINS AN IMPRINT OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT, WHO USED IT. I HAVE THE ABILITY TO SENSE THOSE IMPRINTS. I COULD ARRANGE TO HAVE SOMETHING SENT DOWN. HOW MUCH TIME WOULD YOU NEED WITH IT? NO MORE THAN A FEW DAYS. WE DIDN'T PICK UP ANY OTHER BIO-SIGNS. I TAKE IT YOU LIVE HERE ALONE. ALONE. IT'S AN AWFULLY BIG PLANET FOR ONE PERSON. I'VE LIVED HERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME, MR. REED. MY ONLY CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD HAS BEEN THROUGH TELEPATHY. BRING ME THE ARTIFACT. I'D LIKE TO GET STARTED. (Archer) WE'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS WE CAN. CAPTAIN, ONE SMALL REQUEST. I'D LIKE HOSHI TO STAY WITH ME WHILE I'M WORKING. I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT APPROPRIATE. NONETHELESS, IT'S A CONDITION OF MY HELPING YOU. IF I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THIS... I DON'T GET THE SENSE THAT HE WOULD HARM ME. MY INSTINCTS TELL ME OTHERWISE. HE'S HIDING SOMETHING. IF HE'S INSISTENT, WE COULD PUT OFF LOOKING FOR THE SPHERE, STAY IN ORBIT. IT'S ONLY FOR A FEW DAYS. WE DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF DEALING WITH ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME ANYMORE, SIR. IF HE CAN TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT THE XINDI WEAPON, IT'S WORTH THE RISK. I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF, CAPTAIN. THIS IS FROM THE WEAPON THAT ATTACKED YOUR PLANET. WE THINK IT WAS A PROTOTYPE. FROM A MUCH LARGER WEAPON. THIS WILL BE VERY USEFUL. MAY I? THANKS. I NEED A MINUTE. exhales TAKE YOUR TIME. DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STAY ON YOUR TOES?

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL TO GO THROUGH YOUR DAYS ALONE. I'M SORRY, I FORGET YOU'RE UNAWARE OF HOW MUCH I KNOW ABOUT YOU. ARE YOU READING MY MIND CONTINUOUSLY? NOT SINCE YOU ARRIVED.

THE FIRST ONE WAS MORIANNA TAAL. SHE WAS MY FIRST COMPANION. LIKE YOU, SHE HAD A UNIQUE MIND. AND THE OTHER 3? COMPANIONS, AS WELL. WHEN I LOST MORIANNA, I BEGAN TO SEARCH FOR ANOTHER AND ANOTHER. SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WORSE, BEING ALONE, OR HAVING TO BURY THE PEOPLE I'VE COME TO CARE ABOUT. IT'S BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I FOUND SOMEONE LIKE YOU. YOU'RE RIGHT. WE SHOULD GO BACK INSIDE. ALL I'M ASKING IS THAT YOU CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY. YOU KNOW THAT ENTERPRISE IS ON AN IMPORTANT MISSION. I JUST CAN'T ABANDON MY DUTIES. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WITH MY HELP, YOUR MISSION WILL BE OVER SOON. DO YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE ON A DESOLATE WORLD, WITH SOMEONE THAT I HAVE KNOWN FOR LESS THAN 2 DAYS? THE OTHERS HAD SIMILAR DOUBTS. BUT OVER TIME, THEY CAME TO APPRECIATE WHAT I HAD TO OFFER THEM. NO ONE WILL EVER UNDERSTAND YOU THE WAY I CAN. I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP, AND I'M HAPPY TO STAY HERE WHILE YOU WORK, BUT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BECOMING YOUR NEXT COMPANION. IF YOU THINK PROJECTING YOURSELF AS HUMAN IS GOING TO MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND, YOU ARE MISTAKEN. YOU'VE LET YOUR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN STAND IN YOUR WAY FAR TOO MANY TIMES. YOU ALMOST LEFT ENTERPRISE EARLY IN ITS MISSION BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD CONTROL YOUR FEARS. BUT IN SPITE OF THAT, YOU STAYED. IT STRENGTHENED YOU. THIS SITUATION IS NO DIFFERENT. YOU OBVIOUSLY MISINTERPRETED A FEW MEMORIES, BECAUSE THIS SITUATION IS VERY DIFFERENT. I'M GIVING YOU THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING YOU'VE SEARCHED FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. IT'S THE REASON YOU STUDY LANGUAGES, TO MAKE UNIQUE CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE. I DON'T NEED YOU TO HELP ME DO THAT. THEN WHY DO YOU SEEM SO ISOLATED? YOU LIVE ON A SHIP FILLED WITH YOUR OWN PEOPLE AND YET THERE ARE MANY TIMES WHEN YOU FEEL ALONE. STAY WITH ME. I'LL TEACH YOU WAYS OF SHARING THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS NO HUMAN CAN.

THE SIDES CHANGED, ALLIANCES WERE FORGED, AND THEN BROKEN. BY THE TIME IT ENDED, I DOUBT ANY OF THE 6 SPECIES REMEMBERED WHAT STARTED IT. BUT EVERYONE REMEMBERED WHAT ENDED IT. AS WELL AS BEING UNSTABLE POLITICALLY, OUR PLANET WAS EVEN MORE UNSTABLE GEOLOGICALLY. IN A FINAL DESPERATE ACT, THE INSECTOIDS AND REPTILIANS DETONATED MASSIVE EXPLOSIONS BENEATH THE 8 LARGEST SEISMIC FISSURES. I'D LIKE TO THINK THEY DIDN'T REALIZE HOW DEVASTATING THE RESULT WOULD BE. MY GRANDFATHER LIVED THERE. HE TOLD ME OF PLACES WHERE THE SKY WAS SOMETIMES FILLED WITH AVIANS. NOW THEY'RE GONE. THE OTHER 5 SPECIES DID SURVIVE. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THEY DON'T ALL LIVE ON REMOTE COLONIES LIKE THIS ONE. THE DESCENDANTS OF THOSE THAT ESCAPED ARE SCATTERED ACROSS THE EXPANSE. MANY LIVE PEACEFUL LIVES, BUT OBVIOUSLY, NOT ALL. (Hayes) CAPTAIN. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK. SIR. IT'S OK. THE SUPPRESSORS ARE IN PLACE. THE BLAST WAVE SHOULD BE MOSTLY CONFINED TO THE FACILITY. SIR, I NOTICED A LOT OF ACTIVITY DOWN THERE. IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING ON. beeping ARCHER. (T'Pol) CAPTAIN, WE'VE DETECTED A SHIP APPROACHING THE PLANET. THE HULL CONFIGURATION MATCHES THE XINDI VESSEL THAT ATTACKED US. REPTILIANS. RECOGNIZE ANYONE? THE REPTILIANS SEEM RATHER UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING. YOU GOT SOMETHING? I'VE BEEN RUNNING SCANS OF THE WEAPON'S ORGANIC COMPONENT. ITS NEURAL PATHWAYS APPEAR TO HELP MODULATE THE RIFLE'S POWER OUTPUT. IT'S THE MOST SOPHISTICATED EXAMPLE OF BIOMECHANICAL ENGINEERING I'VE EVER SEEN. YOU SAID YOU HAD GOOD NEWS, DOC. AH, YES. I'VE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO BREAK DOWN THIS CREATURE'S IMMUNE SYSTEM. YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT SICK? MMM. HOWEVER, IT'S PROVING TO BE QUITE RESILIENT. I'VE TRIED AN ARRAY OF VIRUSES AND PATHOGENS BUT IT'S IMMUNE TO ALL OF THEM. THEN, I BEGAN EXPOSING IT TO VARIOUS RADIOACTIVE SPECTRA, A SUSTAINED BURST OF DELTA RADIATION. IF WE RIG UP PORTABLE E.M. EMITTERS, WE COULD KNOCK OUT REPTILIAN WEAPONS BEFORE ANY OF THEM GET A CHANCE TO PULL THE TRIGGER. IN THEORY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE AMOUNT OF RADIATION REQUIRED WOULD BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO ANY HUMANS IN THE AREA. IT'S STILL A PLACE TO START. HMM. GREAT WORK, DOC. KEEP AT IT. OH, AND, UH, COMMANDER, I'D AVOID EXPOSING ANY OF THE XINDI TECHNOLOGY TO OMICRON RADIATION. IT SEEMS TO THRIVE ON IT, AS YOU CAN SEE. I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND. HMM. THEY'RE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. WE WEREN'T EXPECTING THEM FOR ANOTHER 3 DAYS. YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR MISSION. WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT? WE'VE BEEN PROCESSING KEMOCITE FOR THEM FOR NEARLY 6 MONTHS. THEY'RE HERE FOR THEIR FINAL SHIPMENT. CAPTAIN, I'M THE PRIMARY TECHNICIAN AT THIS FACILITY. THEY'LL WANT TO TALK TO ME BEFORE ACCEPTING DELIVERY, TO CONFIRM THAT ALL OF THEIR TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET. I MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU ABOUT THIS WEAPON. THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS. I'M WILLING TO TAKE THAT RISK. HOW DO I KNOW YOU WON'T EXPOSE US. TELL THEM ABOUT ENTERPRISE? I'M PROUD OF MY CRAFT, CAPTAIN. I'VE PRACTICED IT FOR MANY YEARS. I WON'T LET MY WORK BE CORRUPTED IN THIS WAY. 7 MILLION PEOPLE. IF I'D CHOSEN MY CLIENTS MORE CAREFULLY, THAT TRAGEDY MIGHT NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I DON'T INTEND TO LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. beeping ARCHER. (Reed) CAPTAIN, THERE ARE 2 XINDI BIO-SIGNS HEADING THIS WAY. (Sloth 2) GRALIK, ARE YOU THERE? GRALIK? doorbell buzzes DEGRA'S PROBABLY WONDERING WHERE I AM. HIS COMPANIONS DON'T LIKE TO BE KEPT WAITING. knocking on door Reed whispering CAPTAIN. THEY'VE GONE. THEY'LL RETURN, PROBABLY WITH ARMED REPTILIANS. JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR WORK? THERE ARE FEWER THAN 100 PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET. IT DOESN'T GO UNNOTICED WHEN ONE OF THEM IS MISSING. DEGRA WON'T LEAVE UNTIL HE SEES THE RESULTS OF THE FINAL ISOTOPIC ANALYSIS. YOU SHOULD RECONSIDER MY OFFER. (Trip) THAT'S GOOD, RIGHT THERE. (T'Pol) ARE YOU SURE THIS IS WISE? THAT'S 4 INCHES OF SOLID DURANIUM. IF THIS THING CAN BLAST A HOLE THROUGH IT, THEN WE'RE IN EVEN WORSE TROUBLE THAN WE THOUGHT. STILL, IT MIGHT BE PRUDENT TO FIND A MORE SUITABLE ENVIRONMENT TO TEST IT. WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO LOOK FOR SOME DESERTED ASTEROID, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN. IF I MAY, COMMANDER TUCKER AND I HAVE LEARNED ALL WE CAN FROM EXAMINING THE WORKINGS OF THE DEVICE. A PRACTICAL TEST IS THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP. I'VE RIGGED UP 4 OF MALCOLM'S FORCE FIELD EMITTERS. THEY'LL CONTAIN ANY BLAST DEBRIS. WHAT ABOUT RADIATION, OR PARTICLE DISBURSEMENT? YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS DEVICE. THAT'S THE POINT. THOSE XINDI TOOK OUT HALF OF OUR SECURITY FORCE WHEN THEY CAME ABOARD. IF WE DON'T MAKE PROGRESS UNDERSTANDING THEIR WEAPONS, WE WON'T STAND A CHANCE IN HELL OF BEATING THEM WHEN THE TIME COMES. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE READY. GIVE US AN HOUR. MORE DELAYS? WE DID SURPRISE THEM BY ARRIVING EARLY. THAT'S NO EXCUSE. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN READY BY NOW. SUCH LETHARGIC CREATURES. YOU COULD LEARN SOMETHING FROM THEM. PATIENCE, FOR EXAMPLE. hisses WHERE'S GRALIK? WE CAN'T FIND HIM. IN A COMPLEX THIS SIZE, HOW DIFFICULT COULD IT BE? WE'VE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE. NO ONE'S SEEN HIM. HE OFTEN TAKES WALKS OUTSIDE THE SETTLEMENT. WALKS? WITHOUT HIS ANALYSIS, I CAN'T PROCEED. WE'VE ORGANIZED SEARCH TEAMS. WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU TO GO FORAGING THROUGH THE FOREST. WE'LL FIND HIM OURSELVES. machine beeping WHAT IS IT? SOMEONE'S CLOSING ON OUR POSITION, SIR. 400 METERS. REPTILIANS? I'M NOT CERTAIN. 350 METERS. STAY WITH HIM. STILL CLOSING, SIR. 200.150. THEY'RE BLOODY FAST, WHOEVER THEY ARE. TAKE COVER! static buzzing IT'S A SEEKER. THE REPTILIANS BUILT THEM FOR RECONNAISSANCE. THEY WERE USED TO GREAT EFFECT DURING THE WAR. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED AFTER ALL. LET'S HOPE THEY DIDN'T GET A VERY GOOD LOOK AT US. THERE ARE SOME CAVES NOT FAR AHEAD. THEY SHOULD PROVIDE US WITH COVER IN CASE WE ENCOUNTER ANY MORE OF THOSE. READY, DOC? READY. clicks WHAT'S WRONG? IT WON'T FIRE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. PERHAPS IT HAS A SAFETY DEVICE. machine beeping WHAT'S THAT? IT'S COMING FROM THE WEAPON. beeping LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF COUNTDOWN. THE ENERGY LEVELS ARE INCREASING. IT'S OVERLOADING. I CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN. DAMN THING'S BOOBY-TRAPPED. IF YOU REMOVE THE POWER CELL. IT'LL JUST GROW BACK. groans beeping sighing QUICK THINKING, COMMANDER. YOU WERE RIGHT. WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE FOUND A NICE, EMPTY ASTEROID TO TEST IT ON. sighing THE XINDI SHIP IS STILL IN ORBIT. WE HAVEN'T DETECTED ANY OTHER VESSELS. UNDERSTOOD. (T'Pol) CAPTAIN, IF THE XINDI HAVE DETECTED YOUR PRESENCE, I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO RETURN TO THE SHIP. (Archer) I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN. BUT WE STILL HAVE A FEW LOOSE ENDS TO TIE UP DOWN HERE. ARCHER OUT. ANYTHING? NO, SIR. WE JUST MIGHT HAVE STOPPED THOSE BLOODHOUNDS BEFORE THEY TRANSMITTED OUR POSITION. LET'S HOPE SO. NO SIGN OF THE REPTILIANS. I DOUBT THEY'LL FIND US. THAT'S TOPALINE ORE. IT SHOULD DISRUPT THEIR SCANNERS. EVEN THEIR SEEKERS WON'T LOCATE US HERE. WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO NOW, CAPTAIN? DESTROY OUR FACILITY? DO YOU PLAN TO WAIT UNTIL I'M BACK INSIDE OR WILL YOU SIMPLY DISPOSE OF ME HERE IN THE FOREST? I'VE BEEN CONSIDERING ANOTHER OPTION. I'D CERTAINLY LIKE TO HEAR IT. THE PEOPLE ON THIS COLONY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ATTACK ON MY PLANET. I'LL BE DAMNED IF I'M GOING TO MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT. YOU OFFERED TO HELP US. ARE YOU STILL WILLING? IF YOU'RE PREPARED TO TRUST ME. THEN WE'LL GIVE THEM THEIR KEMOCITE BUT IT WON'T BE EXACTLY WHAT THEY ORDERED. MAKE SURE HE GETS HOME SAFELY. YES, SIR. IT WOULD BE BETTER IF I WENT ALONE. GOOD LUCK. AND YOU. (Reed) PERMISSION TO SPEAK FREELY. GO AHEAD. I'M NOT SURE IT WAS WISE TO LET HIM GO. HE COULD LEAD THE REPTILIANS BACK HERE. ARE YOU SPEAKING FREELY AS WELL, MAJOR? JUST OFFERING A TACTICAL ASSESSMENT, SIR. NOTED. HE SAID HE'D HELP US. I BELIEVE HIM. beeping IT'S THE CAPTAIN. GO AHEAD, SIR. (Archer) TELL THE ARMORY TO HOLD OFF ON THOSE SPATIAL CHARGES. THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE OF PLANS. IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT? I'LL LET YOU KNOW IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. RIGHT NOW, I HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU AND HOSHI. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR YOU. HAVE YOU STARTED LOADING THE SHIPMENT? NOT YET. GOOD. I WANT TO RUN ANOTHER REFINEMENT TEST. WE'VE COMPLETED 3 ALREADY. THE IMPURITIES WERE LESS THAN 6 PARTS PER MILLION. WE HAVE TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT WE'VE MET THEIR SPECIFICATIONS. YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS TO ALL OF US. WE SHOULD GET STARTED. YOU TWO PERFORM THE ISOTOPIC ANALYSIS. I'LL RUN THE SUB-MOLECULAR SCANS. WE'VE GOT IT. WE'VE MODIFIED THE RADIOLYTIC SIGNATURE. IF YOU CAN GET IT ON BOARD THEIR SHIP I'LL BE ABLE TO TRACK IT. UNDERSTOOD. WHERE WERE YOU? MY PERSONAL ACTIVITIES AREN'T YOUR CONCERN. AND DO YOUR PERSONAL ACTIVITIES INVOLVE DESTROYING ONE OF OUR SEEKERS? I WAS HUNTING TREE SCARABS. YOUR DRONE WAS FRIGHTENING THEM. WHO WAS WITH YOU? I PREFER TO SPEND MY TIME IN THE FOREST ALONE. OUR SCANS DETECTED OTHER BIO-SIGNS. I WAS ALONE. IF YOU SAW THE DRONE, YOU KNEW WE WERE HERE. WHY DIDN'T YOU RETURN? YOU'RE 2 DAYS EARLY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? RUNNING SOME FINAL TESTS. WHAT KIND OF TESTS? WE WERE TOLD THE SHIPMENT WAS READY. 42 YEARS. THAT'S HOW LONG I'VE BEEN RUNNING THIS FACILITY. AND NEVER ONCE HAVE I ALLOWED A SINGLE GRAM OF KEMOCITE TO LEAVE THE PREMISES UNLESS IT WAS PERFECTLY CALIBRATED. I TAKE PRIDE IN MY WORK, BUT IF YOU'RE SO EAGER TO GET UNDERWAY THEN GO AHEAD, TAKE YOUR SHIPMENT! BUT IF IT DOESN'T MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, DON'T EXPECT ME TO PRODUCE ANOTHER 100 KILOGRAMS OVERNIGHT, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE OTHER CLIENTS BESIDES YOU. FINISH QUICKLY. THERE ARE 2 OF THEM, LOADING CONTAINERS. STAND BY, CAPTAIN. whispering ACKNOWLEDGED. THEY'RE HEADING BACK. YOU'RE CLEAR, SIR. (Reed) REED TO ENTERPRISE. GO AHEAD. THE CAPTAIN'S INSIDE THE XINDI SHUTTLE. ACKNOWLEDGED. CAPTAIN, 3 XINDI HAVE JUST COME OUT OF THE COMPLEX. UNDERSTOOD. LIEUTENANT REED, REPORT. (Reed) WE'VE RUN INTO A SMALL PROBLEM. STAND BY. WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS. PERHAPS YOU'LL NEED OUR SERVICES IN THE FUTURE. PERHAPS. I'LL MISS THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY. WE SHOULD GO, DEGRA. WE'RE BEHIND SCHEDULE ALREADY. WE'VE INVESTED A GREAT DEAL IN THIS PROJECT. AND YOU'VE BEEN WELL PAID FOR IT. YES, YOU'VE BEEN MORE THAN GENEROUS, BUT I'D APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD TELL ME WHAT THIS SHIPMENT IS BEING USED FOR. I DON'T THINK IT'S AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST. IT DOESN'T CONCERN YOU. IT CONCERNS ALL OF US. WE'VE LEARNED THERE'S A THREAT TO OUR PEOPLE. WHAT KIND OF THREAT? A RUTHLESS ALIEN SPECIES. IF WE DON'T ACT, THEY'LL DESTROY US. I'M GLAD WE COULD CONTRIBUTE. TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE. (Archer) ARCHER TO ENTERPRISE. GO AHEAD. WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THAT XINDI SHIP? IT BROKE ORBIT 5 MINUTES AGO, CAPTAIN. ARE YOU PICKING UP THE TRACKING SIGNAL? LOUD AND CLEAR. KEEP AN EYE ON IT. WE'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS WE CAN. ACKNOWLEDGED. THANK YOU. MMM. IS SOMETHING WRONG? I MAY HAVE JUST BETRAYED MY PEOPLE TO A RUTHLESS ALIEN SPECIES. I PROMISE YOU, YOU HAVEN'T. PLEASE TRUST ME. TO TRUST. EVENTUALLY, DEGRA'S GOING TO DISCOVER THAT YOU SABOTAGED HIS KEMOCITE. chuckling IT SHOULD DELAY THEIR PROGRESS CONSIDERABLY. THEY'LL COME BACK HERE. DON'T WORRY. I CAN DEAL WITH DEGRA AND HIS FRIENDS. YOU SHOULD JUST BE CONCERNED WITH FINDING THIS WEAPON. THEIR SHIP ENTERED AN ENERGY PORTAL AFTER IT LEFT ORBIT. WE'VE LOST OUR TRACKING SIGNAL. THE PORTAL'S RANGE IS ONLY A FEW LIGHT-YEARS. KEEP SEARCHING. I BETTER GET BACK TO ENTERPRISE. IF EVERYTHING YOU'VE TOLD ME IS TRUE ABOUT THE ATTACK ON YOUR WORLD, I HOPE YOU REMEMBER THAT ALL XINDI ARE NOT YOUR ENEMY. I WILL.
