"It started out as a simple order:" "a Krabby Patty with cheese." "When the customer took a bite, no cheese!" "Get ahold of yourself, Eugene." "I'm going in." "Take it easy, friend." "I'm the manager of this establishment." "Everything's gonna be just fine." " I'm really scared here, man." " You got a name?" " Phil." " You got a family, Phil?" "Come on, Phil, stay with me."

"I'm ready." "Promotion." "SpongeBob!" "What are you doing in here?" "I have to tell you something, Squidward." "Whatever it is, can't it wait until we get to work?" " There's no shower at work." " What do you want?" "I just wanted to say I'll be thanking you in my managerial acceptance speech today." "Get out!" "Okay." "I'll see you at the ceremony." "That sounds like the manager of the new Krusty Krab 2." "Oops." "Hold on." " Congratulations, buddy." " Oh, thanks, Patrick." "And tonight, after my big promotion, we're gonna party till we're purple." "I love being purple!" "We're going to the place where all the action is." " You don't mean...?" " Oh, I mean." "Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat!" "Oh, I'm a Goofy Goober, yeah You're a Goofy Goober, yeah" "We're all Goofy Goobers, yeah Goofy, goofy, goober, goober, yeah" "I'd better get going." "I'm ready." "Promotion." "I'm ready." "Promotion." "Good luck, SpongeBob." "Hey, look for me at the ceremony." "I got a little surprise for you." "I'm a Goofy Goober Yeah" "Hello, Bikini Bottom!" "Perch Perkins here, coming to you live from in front of" "The Krusty Krab restaurant, for years the only place to get a delicious and mouth-watering Krabby Patty." "Until today, that is." "That's right, folks." "Long-time owner Mr. Krabs is opening a new restaurant called The Krusty Krab 2." "First of all, congratulations, Mr. Krabs." "Hello." "I like money." "What inspired you to build a second Krusty Krab right next door to the original?" "Money." "Curses!" "It's not fair." "Krabs is being interviewed by Perch Perkins, and I've never even had one customer!" "Don't get worked up again, Plankton, I just mopped the floors." "Oh, Karen, my computer wife, if only I could have managed to steal the secret to Krabs' success, the formula for the Krabby Patty." "Then people would line up to eat at my restaurant." "Lord knows I've tried." "I've exhausted every evil plan in my filing cabinet..." " ...from A to Y." " A to Y?" "Yeah, A to Y. You know, the alphabet." "What about Z?" " Z?" " Z. The letter after Y." "W, X, Y," "Z. Plan Z!" " Here it is, just like you said." " Oh, boy." "It's evil." "It's diabolical." "It's lemon-scented." "This Plan Z can't possibly fail!" "So enjoy today, Mr. Krabs, because by tomorrow, I'll have the formula." "Then everyone will eat at the Chum Bucket, and I will rule the world!" "All hail Plankton." "All hail Plank...!" "I'm ready." "Promotion." "I'm ready." "Promotion." "I think I stepped in something." "Not in something, on someone, you twit." "Sorry, Plankton." "Are you on your way to the grand-opening ceremony?" "No, I am not on my way over to the grand-opening ceremony." "I'm busy planning to rule the world!" "Well, good luck with that." "I'm ready." "Promotion." "I'm ready." "Promotion." "Stupid kid." "Welcome." "Welcome, everyone, to the grand opening of The Krusty Krab 2." " We paid $9 for this?" " I paid 10." "Now, before we begin with the ribbon-cutting," "I'd like to announce the name of our new manager." "Yay!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Now we're talking!" "Yeah!" "Yes." "Well, anyway..." "The new manager is a loyal, hard-working employee." "Yes." "The obvious choice for the job." "He's right." "A name you all know." "It starts with an S." " That's me." " Please welcome our new manager Squidward Tentacles." "Yes!" "Yeah!" "Oh, better luck next time, buddy." "Yeah!" "All right!" "People of Bikini Bottom, as the manager of..." "SpongeBob." "Hold the phone, folks, I'm getting an important news flash from Mr. Krabs." "Go ahead, Mr. K." "I'm making a complete what of myself?" "The most embarrassing thing you've ever seen?" "And now it's worse because I'm repeating everything you say into the microphone?" "Oh, for crying out loud, SpongeBob, you didn't get the job." " What?" " You did not get the job." "But..." "But why?" "SpongeBob, you're a great fry cook, but I gave the job to Squidward because being manager is a big responsibility." "Well, let's face it, he's more..." " ...mature than you." " I'm not mature?" "Lad, I mean this in the nicest of ways, but there's a word for what you are, and that word is..." "Now, let's see..." " Dork?" " No, wait, that's not right." "Not a dork." " A goofball?" " Closer, but no, no, no." " A ding-a-ling." " Wing nut." "A Knucklehead McSpazatron." "Okay, that's enough." "Look, what I'm trying to say is, you're just a kid." "And to be a manager, you have to be a man." "Otherwise they'd call it "kid-ager."" "You understand-ager?" "I mean, you understand?" "I guess so, Mr. Krabs." "SpongeBob?" "I'm ready." "Depression." "I'm ready." "Depression." "Poor kid." "Hooray for SpongeBob!" "Hooray for SpongeBob!" "Let's hear it for SpongeBob!" "Hello?" "Where'd everybody go?" "Did I miss something?" "Did you see my butt?" "Later that evening..." "Time to put Plan Z into effect." "Starting at the undersea castle of King Neptune." "Oh, right." "The royal court is now in session." "Bring the prisoner forward." "So you have confessed to the crime of touching the king's crown." " Yes, but..." " But what?" "But it's my job, Your Highness." "I'm the royal crown polisher." "Well, then I guess I can't execute you." " Twenty years in the dungeon it is." " Daddy." "You're free to go." "Bless you, Princess Mindy." "Mindy, how dare you defy me." "Why do you have to be so mean?" "I am the king." "I must enforce the laws of the sea." "Father, I wish you'd try a little love and compassion instead of these harsh punishments." "That would be nice." "Squire, clear the room." "I wish to speak to my daughter alone." "What is this, Mindy?" " Your crown?" " And what does this crown do?" " Covers your bald spot." " It's not bald, it's thinning." "This crown does much more than cover a slightly receding hairline." "No, this crown entitles the one who wears it to be in charge of the sea." "One day, you will wear this crown." "I'm gonna be bald?" "Thinning!" "Anyway, the point is, you won't wear it until you learn how to rule with an iron fist." "Like your father." "Dad, your "crown"..." "What the...?" "My crown!" "Someone has stolen the royal crown!" "I got it." "I got it." "Hey, all you Goobers, it's time to say howdy to your favourite undersea peanut, Goofy Goober." "Howdy, Goofy Goober!" "Hey, fellow Goofy Goobers." "Time to sing." "Oh, I'm a Goofy Goober, yeah You're a Goofy Goober, yeah" "We're all Goofy Goobers, yeah Goofy, goofy, goober, goober, yeah" "All right." "Get it together, old boy." "I know." "I'll just stop thinking about it." "Hey, you know, I actually feel a little better." "I don't even remember why I was sad." "Hey, it's the new Krusty Krab 2 manager." "Wow, the pressure's already setting in." "No, Pat, you don't understand." "I didn't get the promotion." "What?" "Why?" "Mr. Krabs thinks I'm a kid." " What?" "That's insane." " I know." "Well, saying you're a kid, it's like saying I'm a kid." " Here's your Goober Meal, sir." " I'm supposed to get a toy with this." "Thanks." "I'm gonna head home, Pat." "The celebration's off." " Are you sure?" " Yeah." "I'm not in a Goober mood." "Okay, see you." "And here's your Triple Gooberberry Sunrise, sir." "Triple Gooberberry Sunrise, huh?" "I guess I could use one of those." "Now you're talking." "Hey, waiter, we need another one over here." "There you go." "Boy, Pat, that hit the spot." " I'm feeling better already." " Yeah." "Waiter, let's get another round over here." "Oh, Mr. Waiter." "Two more, please." "Waiter." "Oh, waiter." "Waiter." "Waiter." " Waiter!" " Why do I always get the nuts?" "All right, folks, this one goes out to my two bestest friends in the whole world:" "Patrick and this big peanut guy." "It's a little ditty called "Waiter!"" "Hey." "Hey, get up." "Hey, come on, buddy." "I wanna go home." "Come on, pal." "Oh, my head." "Listen to me." "It's 8 in the morning." "Go scrape up your friend and get going." "My friend?" "Patrick." "Hey, what's up, buddy?" "Wait, you said 8:00." "I'm late for work." "Mr. Krabs is gonna be..." "Mr. Krabs." "Now, pay attention, Squidward." "As new manager, you've gotta keep a sharp eye out for paying customers." "Yawn." "What's this?" "King Neptune is riding toward The Krusty Krab at lunchtime." "He's got money." "Stay in the coach, daughter." "This won't take long." "Daddy, please." "I think you're overreacting." "Silence, Mindy." "I know what I'm doing." " Squire." " Yes, Your Highness." "Have this pole executed at once." "A hundred and one dollars for a Krabby Patty?" "With cheese, Mr. Squidward, with cheese." "Greeting, subjects." "I seek the one known as Eugene Krabs." "May he present himself to me at once." "I'm Eugene Krabs, Your Highness." "Would you like to order something?" "Nay!" "I'm on to you, Krabs!" "You have stolen the royal crown, you cannot deny." "For, clever as you are, you left one damning piece of evidence at the scene of the crime." ""I stole your crown." "Signed, Eugene Krabs."" "Relinquish the royal crown to me at once." "But..." "But this is crazy." "I didn't do it." "Ahoy, this is Eugene Krabs." "Leave a message." "Hi, Mr. Krabs." "This is Clay, the guy you sold Neptune's crown to." "Yeah, I just wanted to say thanks again for selling me the crown." "Neptune's crown." "I sold it to a guy in Shell City, and I just wanted to say thanks again for selling me the crown." "Neptune's crown." "Which is now in Shell City." "Goodbye." "Don't you just hate wrong numbers?" "My crown is in the forbidden Shell City?" "!" "Plan Z. I love Plan Z." "Prepare to burn, Krabs." "Wait, Neptune." "Please, I'm begging you." "I ain't a crook." "Ask anyone, they'll vouch for me." "Very well, then." "Before I turn this conniving crustacean into fishmeal, who here has anything to say about Eugene Krabs?" "I've got something to say about Mr. Krabs." "SpongeBob, me boy, you've come just in time." " Pardon me, miss." " Please, tell King Neptune all about me." "I have worked for Mr. Krabs for many years and always thought he was a great boss." "You see?" "A great boss." "I now realize that he's a great big jerk!" "I deserve that manager's job!" "But you didn't give it to me, because you say I'm a kid." "Well, I am 100-percent man!" "And this man has got something to say to you." "There." "I think I made my point." "Anyone else?" "No?" "Well, then." "Me pants are on fire!" "Me underwear's on fire!" "I'm on fire!" "Oh, yeah." "And now, Eugene Krabs, you will..." "Wait." "I'm flattered you would do this on my account, but being manager isn't worth killing Mr. Krabs over." "Quiet, fool!" "Mr. Krabs stole my crown, and now it's in Shell City." " That's why he must die." " Doesn't it seem a little harsh to kill someone over a crown?" "You don't understand." "My crown is a symbol of my king-like authority." "And between you and me my hair is thinning a bit." "Oh, Your Highness, I'm sure it's not that notice..." "Bald." "Bald." " Bald!" "Bald!" " Bald!" "Bald!" "My eyes!" "All right, all right." "King Neptune, sir?" "Would you spare Mr. Krabs' life if I went to get your crown back?" "You, go to Shell City?" "No one who's gone to Shell City has ever returned." "What makes you think you could?" "You're just a kid." "But I'm not a kid." "I can do it." "Run along, I have a crab to cook." "No!" "I won't let you." "Very well, then." "I'll have to fry you both." "Daddy, stop it." "Can't you get through one day without executing someone?" "Mindy." "I told you to stay in the carriage." "Where's your love and compassion?" "Look at this little guy." "He's willing to risk his life to find your crown and save his boss." " But, daughter, I..." " Please, Father?" "At least let him try." "What have you got to lose?" "Might I remind you of your special problem?" " Bald!" "Bald!" "Bald!" " Bald!" " Bald!" "Bald!" " My eyes!" "All right." "Very well, Mindy." "I'll give him a chance." "But when your little champion fails to return," "I get to splatter this crab all over the walls." "And as for you, be back here with my crown in exactly ten days." " He can do it in nine." " Eight." " Seven." " Six." " Patrick!" " Patrick!" "Six it is, then." " Five." " Patrick, shush." "Until then, the crab shall remain frozen where he now stands." "No, wait." "I'm begging you." "Who turned on the AC?" "Mr. Krabs!" "Oh, no, this is terrible." "Who's gonna sign my paycheck?" "Come along, Mindy." "Listen, you guys, the road to Shell City is really dangerous." "There's crooks, killers and monsters everywhere." "And what's worse, there's a giant Cyclops who guards the outskirts of the city and preys on innocent sea creatures." "Don't let him catch you, because if he does, he'll take you back to his lair, and you'll never be seen again." "She's purty, SpongeBob." "Here, take this." "What's in here?" "It's a magical bag of winds." " I stole them from my father." " You're hot." "Once you find the crown, open the bag of winds and you'll be blown back home." " Mindy!" " I'm coming." " Good luck, SpongeBob." " Wait." "How did you know my name?" "Oh, I'm gonna be queen of the sea one day." "I've learned the names of all the sea creatures." "What's my name?" "That's easy." "You're Patrick Star." " Mindy!" " I gotta go." "I believe in you guys." "Thanks, Mindy." "Don't worry, Mr. Krabs." "Patrick, Squidward and I..." "Pass." " Patrick and I..." " Hi." "...are gonna get that crown back and save you from Neptune's wrath." "You've got nothing to worry about." "Your life is in our hands." "Patrick, let's go get that crown." " Feast your eyes, Patrick." " What is it?" "The Patty Wagon." "Mr. Krabs uses it for promotional reasons." "Let me show you some of its features." "Sesame-seed finish, steel-belted pickles, grilled-leather interior." "And under the hood, a fuel-injected french-fryer with dual overhead grease traps." " Wow." " Yeah, wow." "Hey, I thought you didn't have a driver's license." "You don't need a license to drive a sandwich." " Shell City, here we come!" " Shell City, here we come!" "Ding-a-ling." "Hey there, old buddy." "Freeze." "One secret formula to go, please." "No, no, don't trouble yourself." "I'll get it." "Well, I'd like to hang around, but I've got Krabby Patties to make over at the Chum Bucket." "Plan Z, I love you." "Oh, I'm a Goofy Goober, yeah You're a Goofy Goober, yeah" "We're all Goofy Goobers, yeah Goofy, goofy, goober, goober, yeah" "Fill her up, please." "What'll it be, fellas, mustard or ketchup?" "Are they laughing at us?" "No, Patrick, they're laughing next to us." "Where you two dumb kids headed, anyway?" " Kids?" " Now, Patrick." "For your information, we are not kids, we are men." "And we're off to get King Neptune's crown in Shell City." " Shell City?" " Shell City?" "Ain't that the place that's guarded by a killer Cyclops?" "That's right." "Lloyd, take off your hat in respect." "Respect for the dead!" "You two dipsticks ain't gonna last ten seconds over the county line." "Oh, yeah?" "We'll see about that." "Out of the car, fellas." "How many seconds was that?" "Twelve." " In your face." " In your face." "That's what I'm talking about." "Yeah." "Who's the kid now?" "They're dead." "Perch Perkins here with an incredible news flash." "Plankton is selling Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket." "How is this possible?" "Let's find out." "Step right up." "Plenty for everybody." "Excuse me, Plankton." "Perch Perkins, Bikini Bottom News." " Can I get a minute?" " Anything for you, Perch." "All of Bikini Bottom wants to know, how did you get the Krabby Patty?" "Well, Perch, before my dear friend Eugene Krabs was frozen by King Neptune..." "I'm sorry." "He confided in me a secret wish." ""Sell the Krabby Patty in my absence at the Chum Bucket," he said." ""Don't let the flame die out."" "By the way, act now and you get a free Chum Bucket bucket helmet with every purchase." "Here you go, Perch." " Thanks." " Bucket helmets for everyone!" "My helmet!" "Karen, baby, I haven't felt this giddy since the day you agreed to be my wife." "I never agreed." "Evil Plan Z is working perfectly." "Nothing can stop me now." "Nothing except SpongeBob and his pink friend." "My sensors indicate that they're going after the crown." "If they make it back, Neptune might discover some fingerprints." "Tiny fingerprints." "Stubby, tiny fingerprints." "Evil Plan Z is way ahead of you, baby." "I've already hired someone to take care of those two." "He's a vicious, cold-blooded predator." "Sesame seed." "Hey, mister." "Does that hat take ten gallons?" " Going on." " Yeah." "Yeah." " Moving on." " Just keep going." "Yup." "Gonna get that crown." "Oh, yeah." " All right." " All right." "Yeah." "Victory." " Are we there yet?" " We must be close by now." "Patrick, look." "We're doing great!" "Shell City's only five days away." "By car." "I wish we still had our car." "SpongeBob, look." "Our car!" " The key." " Where do you think it is?" "There it is, Pat." "The key!" "Now, how are we gonna get it?" "I know." "Walk in and ask him for it." "What are you looking at?" " Patrick, that's a terrible idea." " Sorry." "I know." "I'll go in and create a distraction, and you get the key." "Wait." "I wanna do the distraction." "Okay." "I guess it really doesn't matter who does the distraction." "You see me walking back...?" "Can I have everybody's attention?" "I have to use the bathroom." "It's right over there." "Stupid contacts." "Oh, there it is." "I better go wash it off." "Patrick." "You call that a distraction?" "Well, I had to go to the bathroom." "Well, I got my hands dirty for nothing." "Patrick, check it out." " Hooray!" " Hooray!" " Bubble party!" " Bubble party!" "Hey!" "Who blew this bubble?" "You all know the rules!" "All bubble-blowing babies will be beaten senseless by every able-bodied patron in the bar." "That's right!" "So who blew it?" "So nobody knows." " Maybe it was..." " Shut up!" "Somebody in here ain't a real man." "You!" "We're on a baby hunt." "And don't think we don't know how to weed them out." "Now, everybody line up." "DJ, time for the test." "No baby can resist singing along to this." "SpongeBob, it's the Goofy Goober theme song." "I know." "Oh, I'm a Goofy Goober, yeah" "You're a Goofy Goober, yeah" "We're all Goofy Goobers, yeah Goofy, goofy, goober, goober, yeah" " It was you!" "You're the baby!" " No, no!" "I only coughed, I swear." "DJ !" "Turn it up louder!" "Don't sing along, Patrick." "I'm trying." "Trying so hard." "I'm a Goofy Goober, yeah" "You're a Goofy Goober, yeah" "We're all Goofy Goobers, yeah" "Goofy, goofy, goober, goobers, yeah" "Well, well, well." "Which one of you babies was it?" " It was him." " It was him." " He did it." " He did it." "I've never even eaten at..." "Goofy, goofy, goober, goobers, yeah" "Well, looks like we got ourselves a double baby." "Man, that was a close call." "Guess what I got." "The key!" "Too bad SpongeBob's not here to enjoy SpongeBob not being here." "Morning." "Some people have no taste in headgear." "Babies too?" "Excuse me, miss, but where is everybody getting that horrid headwear?" "Who said that?" "Down here." "Well, I got it at the Chum Bucket." "Plankton's giving them away free with every Krabby Patty." "Chum Bucket?" "Free?" "Krabby Patty?" "Plankton?" "Giving?" "With?" "So you're selling Krabby Patties, Plankton?" "That's right, Squidward." "And there's a free bucket helmet with every purchase." "Care for one?" "No." "You may have hoodwinked everyone else in this backwater town, but you can't fool me." "I listen to public radio." " And what's that supposed to mean?" " It means you set up Mr. Krabs." "You stole the crown so Neptune would freeze him and you could finally get your stubby little paws on the Krabby Patty formula." "It was you all along." "But you made one fatal mistake." "You messed with my paycheck." "And I'm gonna report you to the highest authority in the land," "King Neptune!" "We'll see about that, Inspector Looselips." "Now activating helmet brain-control devices." "What?" "All hail Plankton." " What's going on here?" " All hail Plankton." "Seize him, slaves!" "All hail Plankton." "I'm getting out of here!" "All hail Plankton." "All hail Plankton." "Who can stop me now?" "Who?" " Come on, Pat, one more time." " Okay." "We're on a baby hunt." "And don't think we don't know how to weed them out." ""Weed them out."" "What a jerk." "The road's getting kind of bumpy here." "You know, SpongeBob, there's a lesson to be learned from all of this." "What's that, Patrick?" "A bubble-blowing double baby doesn't belong out here in man's country." "Yeah." "Wait." "We blew that bubble." "Doesn't that make us a bubble-blowing double baby?" "Hey, look, free ice cream!" "Oh, boy!" "How you doing?" "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "SpongeBob!" "Yeah?" "Make mine a chocolate!" "Got you covered." "Two, please." "Certainly." "You kids enjoy." "Actually, we're men, lady, but thanks." "Okay, Patrick, let's..." "You can let go now." "I said, let go, please." "What is this?" "What kind of old lady are you?" "Did you get the ice cream?" "Step on it, Patrick!" "Hey!" "You may not know it, cowboy, but we got a rule around here about blowing bubbles." "All bubble-blowing babies will be beaten senseless by every able-bodied..." " In bar..." " Bar..." "Come on, kiddies, have some ice cream." "I'll let you pet Mr. Whiskers." "Jump for it, Patrick!" "Well, we lost our car again." "Never mind the car, where's the road?" "Road." "Road." "Road." "Road." "Road." "Road." "Road." "R..." "Sorry." "There's the road." "On the other side of this deep, dark dangerous..." " Hazardous." " ...hazardous..." "Monster-infested." "Yeah, monster-infested trench." "Hey, SpongeBob, look!" "Here's the way down." "Well, we're not gonna get the crown standing here." "On to Shell City." "Hey, look, it's making noise." "SpongeBob?" " Hey, where are you going?" " I'm going home, Patrick." "But what about Mr. Krabs?" "What about us?" "We'll never survive in that trench!" "You said it yourself, this is man's country." "And let's face it, Pat." "We're just..." " ...kids." " We're not kids." "Open your eyes, Patrick!" "We blow bubbles, we eat ice cream." "We worship a dancing peanut, for corn's sake!" "We don't belong out here!" "We do not worship him." "You've been wearing the same Goofy Goober Peanut Party underpants for three years straight." "What do you call that?" "Worship?" "You're right, SpongeBob." "We are kids." "Pull your pants up, Patrick." " We're going home." " But you can't go home." "Mindy!" "Mindy?" " How much did you hear?" " I heard enough." " Did you see my underwear?" " No, Patrick." "Did you want to?" "Look, guys, you may be kids, but you're the only ones left who can get that crown." "What do you mean, the only ones left?" "Things have gotten a lot worse since you left Bikini Bottom." "Or should I say Planktopolis." "All hail Plankton." "No resting!" "This monument celebrating my glory isn't gonna build itself." "Move faster!" "Oh, my gosh!" "Patrick, look!" "Plankton's turned everyone we know into slaves." "Squidward." "Sandy." "Mrs. Puff." "Even Gary." "Plankton." "Can't your father do something?" "My father's too distracted by his bald spot to do anything." "Squire, will you hurry." "So you see, you can't quit." "The fate of Bikini Bottom rests in your hands." " But..." "But we're just..." " Hey." "It doesn't matter if you're kids." "And what's so wrong with being a kid, anyway?" "Kids rule!" "You don't need to be a man to do this." "You just gotta believe in yourself." "You just gotta believe!" " I believe." " That's the spirit." "I believe that everybody I know is a goner!" "Come on, guys." "Guys." "Guys?" "Guys?" "Oh, boy." "Think, Mindy, think." "Yup, I guess you're right." "A couple of kids could never survive this journey." "That's why I guess I'll just have to turn you into men." "You can do that?" "How?" "With my mermaid magic." "Did you hear that, Patrick?" "She'll use her mermaid magic to turn us into men!" "Hooray!" "We're gonna be men!" "We're gonna be men!" "We're gonna be men!" "Good." "Now, let's get started." "Close your eyes." " Are we men yet?" " Not yet." "Spin around three times." "I think it's working." "Good." "Now, keep your eyes shut." "With my mermaid's magic and my one tailfin," "I command the two of you to turn into men!" "Open your eyes." "I don't feel any..." "Oh, my gosh, Patrick, you have a moustache!" "So do you!" "So now that you're men, can you make it to Shell City?" " Guys." " Yeah?" "I said, now that you're men, can you make it to Shell City?" "Heck, yeah!" " Are men afraid of anything?" " Heck, no!" "And why?" "Because we're invincible!" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" "I never said that." " Yeah!" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah." " Patrick?" " Yeah, buddy?" "Why did we jump over the edge instead of taking the stairs?" "Bec..." "Well..." " Patrick." " Are we dead?" "No." "Far from it, my friend." "We're safe and sound at the bottom of this trench." "The moustaches worked!" "Do you know what that means?" "We are invincible!" "Now that we're men We can do anything" "Now that we're men We are invincible" "Now that we're men We'll go to Shell City" "Get the crown, save the town And Mr. Krabs" "Now that we're men" "We have facial hair" "Now that we're men" "I change my underwear" "Now that we're men We've got a manly flair" "We've got the stuff We're tough enough to save the day" "We never had a chance when we were kids" "No!" "No!" "No!" "But take a look at what the mermaid did" "Yeah, go, Pat." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, go, SpongeBob." "Hooray!" "Now that they're men We can't bother them" "Now that they're men They have become our friends" "Now that they're men There'll be a happy end" "They'll pass the test And finish the quest for the crown" "They'll pass the test" "And finish the quest" "They'll pass the test And finish the quest for the crown" ""Shell City, dead ahead."" "We did it, Pat!" "We made it past everything!" "Even the hideous, disgusting monsters." "Not you guys." "You guys are awesome!" "Well, Patrick, we should be there in one more verse." " Now that we're men..." " Finally." "I got you right where I want you." "Can I help you with something, sir?" "Name's Dennis." "I've been hired to exterminate you." "You're gonna exterminate us?" "Listen, junior, you caught me and my friend here in a good mood today, so I'm gonna let you off with a warning." "Step aside, and you won't have to feel the awesome wrath of our moustaches." "You mean these?" "I thought you still had a piece of salad stuck to your lip from lunchtime." "They were fake?" "Of course they were fake!" "This is what a real moustache looks like." " Is he a mermaid?" " All right." "Enough gab." "What are you gonna do to us?" "Plankton was very specific." "Plankton?" "For some reason, he wanted me to step on you." "Step on us?" "Yeah!" "That way you'll never find out that he stole the crown!" "Perhaps I've said too much." "That's a big boot." "Don't worry." "This will only hurt a lot." "I love this job!" " Bigger boot!" " Wait, Pat." "This bigger boot saved our lives." "Thank you, stranger." "Stranger?" "It's the Cyclops!" "Help us!" "Help us!" "Save us, someone!" "Are we dead?" "I don't think so." "Artificially coloured rocks?" "I don't know where we are." "What is this?" "It's some kind of wall of psychic energy." "No, Pat, it's a giant glass bowl." "Hey, there's some fish folk." " Hey, over here!" " Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey, you guys!" " You guys, hey!" "Help!" " Hey!" "Help!" " A little help here!" "We're stuck in this..." " Help us out of the tank!" "Wait a second." "Those fish are dead." "What's he gonna do with us?" "Oh, no, he's going for his evil instruments of torture." "Glue?" "Google eyes?" "He's making a humorous diorama of Alexander Clam Bell?" "Patrick, he's killing sea animals and making them into smelly knickknacks." "And I think we're next." " You think so?" " Patrick!" "No!" "The heat is so intense from this lamp that I can't move." "The heat is so intense from this lamp that I can't move." "Tell me about it." "This doesn't look too good, Patrick." "You mean we're not gonna" "Get the crown, save the town And Mr. Krabs?" "I don't even think we're gonna be able to save ourselves, buddy." " Thanks." " Don't mention it." "Well, it looks like what everybody said about us is true, Patrick." "You mean that we're attractive?" "No, that we're just kids." "A couple of kids in way over their heads." "We were doomed from the start." "I mean, look at us." "We didn't even come close to the crown." "We let everybody down." "We failed." "Shell City." "Yeah, we never made it to Shell City." "Shell City." "Exactly, buddy." "Yeah, the place we never got to." "Shell City." "Okay, now you're starting to bum me out, Patrick." "No, look at the sign." ""Shell City." "Marine gifts and sundries."" "Shell City is a gift shop?" "But if this is Shell City, then where's the...?" " Crown." " Crown." "Neptune's crown." "This is Shell City." "Pat, we did make it." "Yeah, I guess we did." "We did all right for a couple of goofballs." "I'm a Goofy Goober, yeah" "You're a Goofy Goober, yeah" "We're all Goofy Goobers, yeah" "Goofy, goofy, goober, goober, yeah" "That's the end of SpongeBob." "Come here, you." "Shut up and look at the screen." "The bird's right." "Look." "It be the tear of the Goofy Goobers." "Hey, we're alive." " Let's get that crown." " Right." "On three, Patrick." "Ready?" "One, two, three." "Hey, it's lighter than I thought." "What's happening?" "I don't know." "Look!" "Come on, Patrick." "Let's get this crown back to Bikini Bottom." " Do you still have that bag of winds?" " I sure do." "Here you go." "What?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "Okay, let's go over the instructions." "Let's see, it says here, "Step one:" "Point bag away from home."" " Okay." " "Step two:" "Plant feet firmly on ground."" " Right." " "Step three:" "Remove string from bag, releasing the winds."" "Check." "Well, that seems simple enough." "Point bag away from home, feet firmly on ground, pull string, releasing the winds." "All right, let's do it for real." "SpongeBob?" " No, no, stop!" " I was bad, I'm sorry!" " Please, bag." " I'm sorry, I just thought..." "It was a mistake!" "Oh, no." "How will we ever get back to Bikini Bottom now?" "I can take you there." " Who are you?" " I'm David Hasselhoff." " Hooray!" " Hooray!" "So where's your boat?" "Boat?" " Go, Hasselhoff." " Next stop, Bikini Bottom." "All hail Plankton." "All hail Plankton." "Well, Krabs, you know what today is?" "Sorry about this, calendar." "March 14." "Wait, that's not right." "It should say "The day that Krabs fries."" "Guess who's here." "Hooray for Hasselhoff!" "Nothing can stop us now." "Unidentified object off the hindquarters." "It looks like bigger boot." "But how?" "Dennis!" "Did you miss me?" "This is the best seat in the house." "All right, Neptune, let's get it on." "Eugene Krabs, your six-day reprieve is up, and it is time for you to die." "Please, I didn't do it." "There is nothing else I can do." "You can give SpongeBob and Patrick a little more time." "Except give SpongeBob and Patrick a little more time..." "What?" "Mindy, will you butt out." "I won't have you stalling this execution." "Stalling?" "I'm not stalling anything." " Yes, you are." " No, I'm not." "Yes, you are." "You're doing it right now." " I'm stalling." " Yes." " Stalling?" " Stalling!" " Stalling." " Stalling!" "Oh, boy." "Now, where were we?" " Patrick, run." " No." "I'm tired of running." "If we run now, we'll never stop..." "Run, SpongeBob!" "Take it easy back there, fellas." "SpongeBob, be careful." "Come on, kid, give it up." "Dennis always gets his man." "Never!" "Yeah!" "I did it!" "You got guts, kid." "Too bad I gotta rip them out of you." "I don't know what Plankton's paying you, but if you let us go, I can make it worth your while." "It's gonna take a lot more than 5..." " What is this?" " That, sir, is five Goober dollars." "Legal tender at any participating Goofy Goober..." "I got bubbles." "Fun at parties." "My eyes." "I got you, SpongeBob." "Thanks, buddy." "Thanks a lot." "That's it." "I'm through messing around." "See you later, fools." "See you." "So you think I'm stalling." "Where am I, in Crazytown?" "I have had enough of this nonsense!" "You are to wait in the carriage until the execution is done." " But, Daddy..." " Now!" "No, no, no!" "Oh, SpongeBob, wherever you are, you better hurry." "Okay, fellas, this is where you get off." "Bikini Bottom's directly below." "But we'll never be able to float down in time." "Who said anything about floating?" " lnitiating launch sequence." " What the...?" " Did you see that?" " The control." "All hands on deck." "Ten seconds to lift-off." "Nine, eight..." "Eugene Krabs, the time has come..." " No." " Yes." "...six, five for you..." " No." " Yes." "...three, two..." " ...to fry." " No." " Yes." " ...one." "No!" "You done good, Hasselhoff." "You done..." "Hooray!" "We made it." "We made it." "My crown." "My beautiful crown!" "SpongeBob?" "Patrick?" "I knew you could do it." "Oh, yes." "Well done, SpongeBoob." "Sorry to rain on your parade, Plankton." "Oh, don't worry about me." "My parade shall be quite dry under my umbrella!" "Umbrella?" "Daddy, no." "Daddy, yes." "All hail Plankton." "All hail Plankton." "All hail Plankton." "All hail Plankton." "All hail Plankton." "SpongeBob, what happened?" " Plankton cheated." " Cheated?" "Hold on there, baldy." "Oh, grow up." "What, you think this is a game of kickball on the playground?" "You never had a chance to defeat me, fool." "And you know why?" "Because you cheated?" "No, not because I cheated." "Because I'm an evil genius." "And you're just a kid." "A stupid kid." "I guess you're right, Plankton." "I am just a kid." "Of course I'm right." "Okay, Neptune, time to kill." "And you know, I've been through a lot in the past six days, five minutes, 27-and-a-half seconds." "And if I've learned anything during that time, it's that you are who you are." " That's right." "Okay, Neptune..." " And no amount of mermaid magic or managerial promotion or some other third thing can make me anything more than what I really am inside:" " A kid." " That's great." " Now, get back against the wall." " But that's okay." " What?" "What's going on?" " Because I did what everyone said a kid couldn't do." "I made it to Shell City, and I beat the Cyclops, and I rode the Hasselhoff, and I brought the crown back." " All right, we get the point." " So, yeah, I'm a kid." "And I'm also a goofball." "And a wing nut." "And a Knucklehead McSpazatron!" " What's going on here?" " But most of all, I'm..." " Okay, settle down." "Take it easy." " I'm..." "I'm..." "What the scallop?" "!" "I'm a Goofy Goober" "You're a Goofy Goober" "We're all Goofy Goobers" "Goofy, goofy, goober, goober" "Put your toys away Well, all I gotta say" "When you tell me not to play I say no way" " No way!" " No, no freaking way" "I'm a kid, you say When you say I'm a kid" "I say, "Say it again" And then I say thanks" " Thanks!" " Thank you very much" "So if you're thinking That you'd like to be like me" "Go ahead and try The kid inside will set you free" "I'm a Goofy Goober" "What's happening?" "His dance moves are impressive, but I'm in control." " Seize him!" " All hail Plankton." "I'm free." "I've been freed!" "What?" "No!" "My precious helmets!" "His chops are too righteous." "The helmets can't handle this level of rock 'n' roll." "Karen, do something." "Karen?" "All right, that's the last straw." "Neptune, I command you to..." " Here you go, Daddy." " I better get out of here." "Look, it's the wizard who saved us." "Out of my way, fools." "Come on, I was just kidding." "Come on, you guys knew that, didn't you?" "With the helmets and the big monuments..." "Wasn't that hilarious, everybody?" "I will destroy all of you!" "Well, Mindy, I have to admit, you were right." "Your compassion for these sea creatures proved a most admirable trait." "Without it, I would have never again seen my beloved crown." "I think you're going to make a fine ruler of the sea one day." " Now, let's go home." " Daddy, haven't you forgotten something?" "What?" "Oh, yeah." "Eugene Krabs, I forgot to unfreeze you." "What the...?" "I guess I had it set to "real boy" ending." "Oh, I'm sorry for falsely freezing you, Krabs." "And may I say, sir, you are a very lucky fellow to have in your employ such a brave, faithful and heroic young lad." " Where is he, anyway?" " I'm up here." "I'm on it." "Go to him now, Krabs." "Embrace him." "SpongeBob, me boy, I'm sorry I ever doubted you." "That's a mistake I won't make again." "Oh, Mr. Krabs, you old soft-serve." "And now, SpongeBob, I'm gonna do something that I should've done six days ago." "Mr. Squidward, front and centre, please." "I think we all know who rightfully deserves to wear that manager pin." "I couldn't agree more, sir." "Hooray for SpongeBob!" "Wait a second, everybody." "There's something I need to say first." "I just don't know how to put it." "I think I know what it is." "After going on your life-changing journey, you now realize you don't want what you thought you wanted." "What you really wanted was inside you all along." "Are you crazy?" "I was just gonna tell you that your fly is down." "Manager!" "This is the greatest day of my life!" "You know, David Hasselhoff is a great artist." "Excuse me, sir." "You folks have to leave." "What?" "Say that again, if you dare." "You folks have to leave." "Okay."

"Brother Ignacio?" "What are you doing?" "Five rings, padre." "To summon Zorro in case there's trouble." "If I know Zorro, he's already here." "Aren't you supposed to be in school?" "Padre, what if Zorro comes?" "I'll make sure he carves a Z on your backside." "How's that sound?" "Really?" "A landslide in favour of statehood." "Let's hope the rest of California voted the same, huh?" "Take this to the governor." "Hermano, be careful." "Our future's in your hands." "I pray that the other provinces have been as peaceful as ours." "The latest model in heavy artillery, the Henry repeater." "If God didn't hurl lightning, he'd surely carry one of these." "State your business, McGivens." "I haven't voted yet." "I'm sorry, you're too late." "The polls have already closed." "Now, that doesn't seem equitable." "I have rights too." "Now, if you'd be kind enough, hand me that box, I'll be on my way." "You'd only force the people to vote again." "Well, you remember that Babylon was condemned to ashes for extending its empire to inferior races!" "I come to deliver the Lord's work against this vote." "Time to do the Lord's work." "Zorro!" "Zorro!" "Zorro!" "Move it." "Move it." "Get out of the way!" "Get out of the way!" "Get him!" "Over the hill to the governor's mansion." "I said, over the hill to the governor's mansion!" "We really have to work on your English." "Zorro!" "Zorro!" "Zorro!" "What happened?" "Where are my men?" "They were held up, governor." "I offered my help." "Citizens of San Mateo!" "Today we have voted to join the Union as a free state!" "But this is only the beginning." "In three months every vote of every pueblo around California will be counted!" "And it is my hope that we will finally call ourselves Americans!" "Good boy." "Your saddle is getting a little too tight, amigo." "Tell me we won." "Tell me we are free." "We're free." " To statehood." " To us." "I wish I was there today." "You were." "I cannot believe it." "We have our lives back." "Now we can take Joaquin to a trip to Spain." "I cannot imagine how it has changed." " Elena..." " And New York." "You should see New York, Alejandro." "It's as if the whole world has moved onto one tiny island." "Elena, I've been thinking and" "Never a good sign." "Listen, California won't really be a state for another three months." "Yes?" "The federal marshals may need help keeping things under control until then." "Look, I know what you're thinking-- Elena." "Elena, listen, listen." "No, here is me, here is quitting." "We're this far apart." "Elena." "I cannot believe it." "I cannot believe I fell for it." "Husband promises to quit, gullible wife believes him." "How could I be so stupid?" "Oh, Elena, you're overreacting." " I'm overreacting?" " Yes." "You made a promise." " We made a promise." " I know." "You are missing your son's entire life." "No, no, no." "No, no, no." "I am not missing anything." " Oh, really?" " Really." "What is his teacher's name?" "That's an easy one." "Mister" " Brother" "Father Kin" " Jin" " Hoofer?" "So I have a bad memory." "What does that prove?" "That you do not know your own son." "And even worse, he does not know you." "What would you rather have me do?" "Live my life as a wealthy don?" "Order servants around all day?" "Is that what you think I do, huh?" "Order servants around all day?" "No, no, don't twist my words." "People still need Zorro." "No, no, no." "You need Zorro." "Look me in the eyes and tell me that is not true." "You remember what you said the day Joaquin was born?" ""My family is my life."" "Do you know how lucky you are to have made it this far?" "Alive?" "That your enemies have not discovered who we are?" "For 10 years, you have fought to give California its freedom." "Why can't you give us ours?" "They are calling you." "It's who I am, Elena." "It's who I am." "What happened to the man I married?" "What happened to the woman who used to fight by my side?" "She had a son." "So he'll grow up to be a nice little aristocrat who has no idea where he came from and doesn't care about anyone but himself." "Beautiful." "If you walk out that door, you are not sleeping here tonight." "Maybe I'll just take my suitcase." "I hope you and Tornado are very happy together." "We will be." "I love you." "I spy with my little eye something beginning with H." "Why wasn't Papi at breakfast?" "I told you." "He left early on business." "He always goes on business." "Yes, he does." "What exactly does he do?" "Well, he is a don." "And he meets with other dons and they discuss land and investments and it's all very important work." "So he sits around with friends counting money." "Oh, Joaquin." "You should not be so hard on your father." "You are more like him than you think." "We can talk more about this later, all right?" "I love you." "Who are you?" "The real question, Señora de la Vega is who are you?" "The devoted wife of a wealthy don?" "Or an independent woman held captive by her husband's secrets?" "What do you want?" "Your help." "One?" "I tell you, de la Vega, women say they want one thing but what they really want is everything else." "Think of this as a vacation from the shackles of matrimony." "Isn't it possible our wives marry us because they want to spend some time with their husbands?" "So let me understand this." "If I take your advice I can look forward to spending my days pruning in a tub of naked men?" "Thanks for the advice." "But no." "Where are you going?" "To beg Elena's forgiveness." "Goodness me." "Might one of you be Don Alejandro de la Vega?" "Yes." "Phineas Gendler, attorney at law." "I'm here on behalf of your wife." "If you should have any questions, my address is on the letterhead." "Good day, sir." "Gentlemen." "I'm sorry, señor." "But you told me to make sure you didn't sleep past 2 today." " What's today?" " Wednesday." "Of course." "I have to pick up Joaquin." "What happened to my clothes?" "I removed them last night so you wouldn't catch pneumonia." "You removed them?" "After you came back from the cantina, you went for a swim." "In my clothes?" " This hotel doesn't have a pool." " We have a fountain." "I see." "Well, thank you, Lupe." "Perhaps you just can turn around, eh?" "I'll see you at confession, my child." "Don't look at me like that." "I know what you're gonna say." "No." "No, I came here to lift your spirits, not to dampen them." "Who said my spirit needed lifting?" "Alejandro, you are being a pig-headed fool." "Why don't you just tell Elena you were wrong." "She's the one who wanted me to live a lie." "To stop being myself." "As if California could live without me." "Wake up." "I haven't had to ring that bell in three months." " You should be rejoicing." " I am rejoicing!" "All right." "You cannot rot in this room forever." "A vineyard is opening tonight." "You're coming to the party with me." "My whole life is a party." "Thank you, no." "Be at the lobby at 8." "Or don't bother coming to confession, because I'll never forgive you." "You'd blackmail my soul, eh?" "Hell, yes." "Now would anyone else like to interrupt my lecture by asking to go to the bathroom?" "No." "Who can tell me what this word means?" "Joaquin?" "Joaquin de la Vega!" "Perhaps you can tell the class what statehood means to you." "No more exploitation of the peasants by the rich who oppress us with a flaming poker of injustice." "And how exactly does a flaming poker fit into your little theory?" "It fits in your butt." "Now I will give you something to laugh about." "Come here." "No?" "Joaquin!" "Joaquin!" "Joaquin!" "Get back inside!" "Joaquin." "So, what's with you, huh?" "You're lucky Father Quintero didn't throw you out for good." "Stop making excuses." "Why do you keep picking fights?" "You don't understand." "Sometimes you have to fight." "Oh, really?" "Says who?" "Says him." "Listen, if Zorro were here, he'd tell you fighting isn't always the answer." "How do you know what he'd say'?" "Trust me, I know him a lot better than you think." "No, you don't." "You never been in a fight in your life." "You didn't even fight to keep Mom." "I am your father, little man." "Don't talk to me like that." "There's nothing on earth I wouldn't do for you or your mother." "Understand?" "Don Alejandro." "Don Alejandro." "Guillermo." " Blanca." " Hello." "Look at little José." "Poor thing." "He's as ugly as his mother." "Look at Joaquin." "You're growing up so fast." "If business keeps up, we'll be able to pay you back sooner than we thought." "I told you, it was a gift." "To celebrate your son's birth." "Hey, señor." "That knife is only 2 dollars." "Well, I'll give you 500 for it." "And for that, I'll take the deed to your rancho, with the Lord's gratitude." "We've already told you, we'll never sell." "Family man like you might wanna keep his woman on a shorter leash." "They said they are not selling, sir." "Have we met before, sir?" "I would remember a man with wooden teeth." "And I'd remember a Mex-breed dressed like a white man." "You think your pappy's gonna crow, little man?" "Or is he gonna cluck?" "Leave him out of" "Señor, as a gentleman, I am obliged to teach my son to turn the 0" "You mean that cheek?" "Is everything all right, boys?" "Respects to you, officer." "Respects, respects." "Think about my offer, or I'll be obliged to do the Lord's work." "Ten minutes, then I'm going." "Effervescent, yet tenacious." "I thought you were forbidden to drink." "What the--?" "I need at least one vice to keep in touch with sinners." "Whatever." "Who owns this vineyard anyway?" "A count recently in from France." "I'm told he purchased it from Don Gallo's widow." "French count, you say?" "He's probably still in his parlour putting on makeup." "Or his perfume, perhaps." "Rumour has it they invented it to avoid bathing." "And you are...?" "De la Vega." "Alejandro de la Vega." "You're de la Vega." "What an honour." "I've heard so much about you." "Really?" "From whom?" "You know, I'd love to continue this conversation but I'm wanted elsewhere." "Please excuse me." "I just met the most charming fellow." "And who might that be?" "Ladies and gentlemen!" "Welcome." "I still don't know why they call it a wine tasting." "After two glasses you can't taste anything." "Friends, Californians." "This vineyard represents what I hope will become an industry that depends on the people for its success." "Involving them instead of exploiting them." "That's what America means to me." "The promise of a country by the people, for the people!" "A country blessed with limitless beauty." "But none more stunning than my escort for the evening." "Ladies and gentlemen Señora Elena de la Vega!" "Well, I'm pooped." "Come on, let's go." "Go?" "I don't wanna go." "I'm having so much fun." "Monsieur and Madame Lupon." " Pleasure, madame." " Thank you." "Very nice to meet you." " Alejandro." " Elena." " Armand." " De la Vega." " Count." " You know each other?" "We shared a giggle at the buffet table." "It seems that's not all we have shared." "Allow me to defuse an awkward situation." "Elena has portrayed you as a man of impeccable character." "I am honoured to be mentioned at all." "Why, I nearly forgot we were still married only three months ago." "A blessing on your vineyard, count." "Thank you for inviting us, but we have a Mass" "Don't be rude, Felipe." "I'm just dying to know how the lovebirds met." "Another time." "We have many guests to greet." "Armand, good evening." "Governor Riley." "You honour us with your presence." "May I present my wife, Mary." "Your speech was incredibly moving, count." "I'm glad you're not running for office against my husband." "I wouldn't challenge the man who's going to lead California into the Union." "I fear there may not be much of a Union left to join, governor." "Everyone, may I introduce Colonel R.S. Beauregard, of the 1st Alabama Infantry." "What brings you here, colonel?" "The threat of civil war, my dear." "Once California joins the Union, the Confederate states'll be outnumbered." "My countrymen find that troubling." "All this talk of politics, you know how it bores me, Armand." "Shall we dance?" "Of course." "Excuse us, gentlemen." "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial quadrille." "Perhaps you shouldn't drink on an empty stomach." "Perhaps you should wear lipstick if you're gonna act like my mother." "Say the word and I'll escort you home." " And leave your guests?" " In a heartbeat." "I care for you too much to subject you to an evening of forced smiles, Elena." "You." "You are the one not acting like yourself." "Since when do politics bore you?" "Since when did you start caring what I think?" "You." "If you wish, I'll have him escorted out." "I can handle him." "For the love of God, let's get out of this place." "I can handle her!" "You must tell me how you met." "Years ago, in Spain." "We were at finishing school together." "Oh, how nice." "You were reunited so he could finish." "Don't force me to embarrass you." "Sorry, too late!" "So tell me, count, what does your title rank among noblemen?" "It is higher than, say, a duke?" "Oh, it's rather common, actually." "Much like a don." "Oh, he's a delight." "Rich, good-looking and royalty." "Is there anything I can say to make you leave?" "You can fall to your knees and beg me to take you back." "I would not want to ruin my dress." " Good." "I'm enjoying single life." " Is that supposed to make me jealous?" " Does it?" " Never!" "Who's looking after Joaquin while his mother spends her nights out?" "I have not spent my nights out." "I haven't even told Joaquin!" "Now, I think you should go!" " You know..." " Let me go!" "I finally understand why you left me." "It was beneath you to marry a peasant like me." " You're drunk." " Your stepfather would be so proud to see you take your rightful place on the arms of royalty!" " Keep your voice down!" " Congratulations, Your Highness!" "If you didn't know me better than that, then you never knew me at all." "No." "Thank you for your hospitality, count." "Could you--?" "Could you--?" "Could you--?" "Could you give me that back?" "Hey, hey!" "Cut it out!" "You had enough." "Stinky..." "Aren't you forgetting something, estúpido?" "!" "Count Armand with his fancy wine and the froufrou accent." "How could Elena choose a man like that?" "I'll make her want me back so badly, she will be weeping with desire." "Nobody leaves my tequila worm dangling in the wind!" "Oh, my God." "Thank you." "God bless you, señor." "How kind of you." "I was trying to impress you." "If you truly want to impress me, invite me over for dinner tonight." "Cook me something sinful." "Why not dine at your hacienda?" "I'd really like to meet your son." "Please try and understand, Armand." "He's not ready for another man in my life just yet." "Of course." "I understand." "What is it?" "Oh, this hat." "It's breathtaking." "Shall I purchase it for you?" "On second thought, who needs another hat?" "What I need is a pipe!" " A Pipe?" " A Pipe." "Like my father used to smoke." "I hope I do not repulse you with my unladylike habit." "No, no." "On the contrary, you fascinate me." "Oh, there's a vendor." "Wait here, won't you?" "What are you doing here?" "When did you start smoking a pipe?" "I don't smoke." "I said that to get rid of him so I can get rid of you." " I have to talk to you about last night." " I forgive you." "Goodbye." "No, no, no, not that." "After." " I saw something in the forest." " What are you talking about?" "Yes, what are you talking about?" "An explosion." "Close to your chateau, in fact." "Like nothing I have ever seen." "I simply wanted to make sure you were both safe." "As much as you had to drink last night I'm sure your vision was impaired." "Yet somehow it's all becoming clear." "A word of advice, de la Vega:" "If you have any respect for the relationship you shared with Elena let it die with dignity." "I have to know I am losing her to a better man." "I can assure you of that." "All right, that is enough." " Alejandro, time to go." " Elena, please." "Alejandro has come for peace of mind." "I am obliged to give it to him." "Perhaps we can settle this like gentlemen." "You do play polo, I take it?" "Doesn't everyone?" "I suggest we play as they do in Slovenia." " A fine city." " Country." "Naturally." " May I offer you something to drink?" " Double tequila, no salt." "Perhaps a game of croquet would be less hazardous to your health." "Did you drop something?" "Or you just resting?" "You know, I think I like this game." "Promise me when you lose you will leave us alone." "What makes you think I will lose?" "Woman's intuition." "To the victor go the spoils." "Now keep your promise and go." "You cheated, so I take it back." "Goodbye, Alejandro." "What do you really know about this man?" "We were never meant to be together." "You don't love him." "After 10 years of marriage, you cannot hide the truth from me." "De la Cruz is the bartender who works at the saloon across the street." "He says he overheard McGivens gathering his men to go see Cortez." "Your father asked me to pick" "Cortez!" "The deed, if you please." " Bring it here." " No, Guillermo, don't!" "Please, señor." "This land is all we have." "And the Lord shall expel them before you and ye shall possess their land!" "Salvation damnation." "Got one thing in common." "You gotta die to find either one." "How true." "Drop your guns." "All of you!" "Guillermo, Blanca, get in the house." "You are one blind Mexican." "You don't know what you're getting yourself into." "Neither do you." "Shoot him!" "Let him be!" " Come on!" " Let's move!" "Don't let them hurt you." "I won't." "I promise." "Go on!" "Break it down!" "Blanca." "Blanca." "No!" "Guillermo!" "Guillermo!" "Guillermo." "Guillermo." "Guillermo, please talk to me." "Talk to me!" "Please!" "What are you trying to tell me, huh?" "No matter what choice I make, it's always the wrong one!" "I have failed everyone I ever loved." "My wife, my son and now the people too!" "What do you want from me?" "!" "Help me." "I have always listened to my heart." "And it speaks to me now of a great darkness." "I fear Guillermo Cortez was only the beginning and that Elena is in great danger too." "Sol beg you give me the courage, the strength to wear the mask a little longer." "Allow Zorro one last ride." "Come here." "She's going to the vineyard." "We can post men near the gate in case we have to pull her out." "If she's compromised, she's of no further use." "Consider her an acceptable loss." "Master, a word?" "Please, excuse me a moment." "The shipment arrives at Maderas Cove." "The carving is beautiful." "And what is through that door?" "Private chapel." "Piety is a long-standing tradition in my family." "I'd show it to you, but dinner's waiting." "That was absolutely delicious." "And now..." "Oh, no, I'm sorry, Marie, I do not smoke." "Unless it is my pipe, of course." "Oh, you remembered." "How thoughtful." "But I think I should let my stomach settle first." "Elena." "I want to ask you something." "Something I should've asked you many years ago." "Before you do, my love, answer me one question." "Whatever your heart desires." "Where is the bathroom?" "I would like to powder my cheeks." "Of course." "Down the hall." "Excuse me." "Excuse me, sir." "A gentleman is here to see you." "He says it's important." "He's building a track to the vineyard." "I presume you have the deed since you deemed it necessary to interrupt my dinner." "Right here." "But it seems we have a fly in the ointment." "Or should I say a fox." "Zorro." "I've heard the name among the locals." "He's a peasant masquerading as a folk hero." "Men like that usually find their way to the guillotine." "I've been informed one of my shipping vessels is arriving tomorrow." "They'll anchor off Maderas Cove." "The cargo must be brought here safely." "I want no mistakes." "Now that we have the deed, will the track be completed on time?" "It'll take my boys two days to cover the quarter mile." "I'll hold you to that, Mr. McGivens." "Otherwise you get nothing." "Listen to me, you backwards-ass frog you hedge on my money, you won't ever see me 00" "This dagger, Mr. McGivens... ."Jake"." "...Has been in my family for generations." "If you ever talk to me like that again I will cut out your tongue and I'll feed it to my dogs." "Understood?" "Your men have two days, Mr. McGivens then the future begins." "I trust you can find your own way out." ""Received word of successful explosive test."" ""Orbis unum."" "Alejandro!" "For God's sake, why can't you leave me alone?" "Elena, I was right." "Armand is not who you think he is." " You have no idea who I think he is." " I think I know." "No, because you do not think." "Get out before somebody sees you." "Elena, listen to me." " Guillermo Cortez is dead." " What?" "Armand needed his land to build a rail road." "He's planning something." "How do you know this?" "Oh, no." "I won't tell you what I know until you tell me what you know." "If you wanna know, I need to know why you are living in sin with an evil count!" "Elena?" "Elena?" "There you are." "Forgive me, Armand." "I just had the sudden urge to step out for a puff." "Are you all right?" "Fine." "My God, you're turning green." "It's just your presence takes my breath away." "Good, because I have a little something for you." "A customary Spanish offering for when a man asks a woman for her hand in marriage." "Let me do this on one knee so I can look up into your eyes." "Oh, no, don't look up." "Is that a yes?" "It's a definite maybe." "I know it's sudden, given what you've just been through but I want to give you everything your former husband couldn't." "You don't have to answer now but whatever you decide, the necklace is yours." "Thank you." "But I have to go." "I must put Joaquin to bed." "Of course." "Your children require attention." "Pearls." "Welcome, children, to Bear Point." "It was on this desolate spot that our state flag was raised for the first time." "Tomorrow our governor will be hosting a celebration here to honour California's statehood." "Joaquin de la Vega!" "Are you paying attention?" "Take out your notebooks" "Hold up." "Scorcher of a day, ain't it, kids?" "Is there something I can help you with, señor?" "Don't let me interrupt the lesson, Father." "I'm just on my way to do the Lord's work." "Mount up, boys." "Come on." "Grab that there, will you?" "Let's get to work, boys." "All right!" "What are you doing here?" "Looking at two of the ugliest guys I've ever seen." "Come on." "Do you want a piece of me?" "Stay there!" "Orbis unum." "I can't believe it's you." "You're really Zorro." "And that's Tornado, right?" "I mean, whoa." "Look at him." "He's huge." "It's just a scratch." "So you gonna say something or what?" "Let's speak in Spanish, the language of our fathers." "My mother won't believe this!" "No, it would be better if you didn't tell your mother about this." "Why not?" "I'm the one asking the questions." "Now, why aren't you in school?" "The man with the scar on his face." "I knew he was up to something." "You really showed that son of a bitch." "Watch your mouth." "Those men are killers." "Whatever they had in those crates was very dangerous and now I don't know what it was, as I was too busy getting you out of trouble." "You mean this?" "Soap?" "!" "That's all there was?" "Lots and lots of it." "Are you sure?" "Would I lie to you?" "Spanish, niño, Spanish, and this isn't a game." "Your father would have a heart attack if he knew what you did." "No, he wouldn't, he doesn't care." "Yesterday he forgot about me." "No, I don't think he forgot." "What you have to understand is..." "No." "Your father should have been there." "Next time he will be." "How do you know?" "I know." "I promise." "A serpent circling the globe." "Are you sure that this is the symbol you saw on the crate?" ""Orbis unum." Yeah." "It's Latin." "It means "one world."" "It represents the Knights of Aragon an ancient brotherhood that ruled Europe in secrecy after the Crusades." "Wait, wait, wait." "Armand is a knight?" "Some believe they are the masters behind all the kings in Europe even today." "Here is a prophecy they wrote nearly 1000 years ago." ""There shall be a land in the west of great power that shall rise to threaten the serpent." "Only by turning the power onto itself shall the serpent survive."" "A land in the west." "America." "They want to destroy it." " With soap?" " With soap?" "Thank you." "I had a wonderful time." "Unfortunate that it has to end." "It does?" "Some colleagues of mine are arriving from Europe this evening." "The meeting may run late." "Perhaps we could meet for breakfast?" "I cannot wait that long." "I want to be your wife, Armand." "If I am going to be the lady of the house I want to start making myself at home." "I suppose we could have a late supper." "I will wait for you after your meeting." "Then perhaps I can stay." "Excuse me." "Sir!" "Sir!" "Hotel Vista Grande." "What the--?" "Who are you?" "I'm Agent Pike." "This is Agent Harrigan." "We're the Pinkertons." "Operatives of the United States government." "So you are the good guys?" "We live in perilous times, Mr. de la Vega." "America's gates have been thrown wide open to people from foreign lands." "Which is why, on occasion, we require certain individuals to aid in our country's defence." "People like your ex-wife." "Elena?" "Works for you?" "As a spy?" "Until California's statehood becomes official we don't have jurisdiction to serve Armand with a search warrant." "So we needed someone who could gain his trust." "And who more suited to the task than the woman he never forgot?" "Before he arrived, we intercepted a telegram he'd dispatched to his associates throughout Europe." "In that telegram, he claimed to be on the verge of producing a new weapon with a single target in mind." "The United States of America." "What kind of weapon could do that?" "Your ex-wife may be on the verge to answer that question." "And every time you interfere, you jeopardise her cover." "Understand?" "The divorce was your idea, wasn't it?" "You blackmailed Elena to lure in the count" "We prefer to think of it as a mutual understanding." "She agrees to help us and we promise to keep the name of Zorro secret from his enemies." "A name you share with your wife and son." "I know something that might help you." "I will send you both to hell for this!" "Our country must be protected, de la Vega, without apology." "Zorro is a relic of the past." "This belongs in a museum." "So do you." "Soon we will both be free." "Bonsoir, Marie." "Armand is expecting me." "You are early, madame." "The count is still indisposed." "Well, perhaps I can wait in the parlour." "Thank you so much, Marie." "Joaquin?" "Joaquin!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Come here." "Dad?" "What are you doing in a bar?" " What are you doing in jail?" " I asked you first." "I went looking everywhere for you." "It's about Mom." " Is she okay?" " No." "I mean, yes, but no." "A man came to the house." "He asked her to marry him." "She said yes." "I know you still love her." "You said you'd do anything for her." "You can't be in jail!" "How can you be in jail?" "!" "You gotta stop her." "Joaquin." "Joaquin, listen to me." "Help me out of here, and I'll get your mother back." "We'll be a family again." "I promise." "I promise." "Now" "Joaquin." "Joaquin." "You are a genius, a genius." "But I don't want to catch you breaking anyone out of jail again." "Without my permission, I mean." "Stay back!" "Or I break the kid's neck!" "Help me!" "I'm too young to die!" "I got my whole life ahead of me!" "Kill him." "Where did you learn to do that?" "Prison changes a man, son." "Let's go." "Listen, Joaquin." " I have to go alone." " What?" "I just got you out of jail!" "What if he puts up a fight?" "I'm not going there to fight." "I am going to reason with him." "You can't reason with him." "Joaquin, the world is a little more complicated than you think." "No, it isn't." "There's right and wrong." "I don't have the time to argue with you." "I'm sorry." "Come, Joaquincito." "You don't deserve Mom." "Yeah." "We're to stay put." "Armand went through there." "We have to hurry." " I know about the Pinkertons." " How?" "It doesn't matter." "They told me everything." "It's all right, I forgive you." "You forgive me'?" "No, no." "I forgive you." "You!" " For what?" " Everything you put me through." "You?" "I would not be in this mess if you had kept your mask on." "Really?" "Then why are you still wearing his necklace?" "I'm undercover." "Besides, these are pearls." "You never gave me pearls." " You said you didn't care about that." " I lied." "Every woman loves pearls." "Well, now you have them, princess." "When I said that we were never meant to be together, I meant it." "Finally we agree on something." " This changes nothing." " Absolutely not." " Follow me." " Always." "Orbis unum." "Orbis unum." "Fellow Knights of Aragon soon the power of the United States will be so great it will overshadow us." "But America has one weakness:" "Its people." "They are divided by North and South." "A civil war is inevitable." "The only question is, who will claim victory?" "We will determine the outcome with this:" "An average bar of soap." "Quite harmless in its current form." "But science has shown us how to extract the glycerine and transform it into a compound 13 times more powerful than gunpowder." "Nitroglycerin." "For months, this vineyard has been a cover for its manufacture." "Tomorrow, a shipment of nitro will depart by train." "It will be met at the state line by Colonel Beauregard who will take possession of the shipment and distribute it throughout the Confederate Army." "As we speak they're preparing to launch a preemptive strike against Washington forever tearing this country apart." "Gentlemen, the Knights of Aragon will soon be restored to our former glory as we stand in shadow and watch America destroy itself!" "I've heard enough." "Brothers, you know my spirit is with you." "But we risk antagonizing a sleeping giant if we fail." "I'll see myself out." "Lord Dillingham." "Would a demonstration put your mind at ease?" "Unless you come to confess you have no business here, McGivens." "Funny you should mention confession, padre seeing that you're obliged to keep the secrets of your flock." "Joaquincito, go back inside!" "Who's Zorro?" "You know, Zorro could be anyone at all." "Come on, now." "We're both men of God." "You can tell me." "Hey, boss." "Lord hates a liar." "All right, I'll tell you." "Run!" "Felipe!" "You killed Felipe!" "Gentlemen the future." "This facility will provide a continuous supply of nitro to the Southern battlefront." "I'll be returning to Europe shortly but Ferroq will remain to oversee the operation." "The nitro has been concealed in these bottles to circumvent any prying Northern patrol." "An urgent matter requires your attention at the hacienda." "He's going back to the hacienda." "I have to get back before he does." "I'll keep the train from leaving." "Go." "Elena." "Be careful." "Armand." "My goodness, I must have dozed off and your dogs startled me." "Perhaps they thought you were someone you're not." "I'm told you arrived early." "I could not wait." "I'm having a special meal prepared." "I hope you're hungry." "I'm famished." "Thank you, Marie." "You are not hungry?" "Tasty, is it'?" "It's unusual." "Is it quail?" "Pigeon." "As you said, Elena we see the people we love as we wish them to be not as who they really are." "Did you actually think that I would be swept off my feet by a sadistic coward like you?" "I thought you were a woman of vision." ""Vision." I could barely stomach the sight of you, Armand." "The only way I could bear your touch was to imagine you were Alejandro." "Your stepfather would be ashamed." "You've become nothing more than a common woman devoted to a common man." "I take that as a compliment." "Mama!" "Oh, Joaquin!" "Padre's dead and the kid's a witness." "No, no, no." "We'll need the next batch now." "Put some more here now." "We'll rendezvous at Clanton's Pass." "You and your men can assume control of the train there." "Zorro!" "Zorro!" "No!" "If you please." "Remove his mask." "You." "You've lost it all." "Your wife." "Your son." "And for what?" "For this?" "No matter where you go, Armand whatever you do the world isn't big enough to hide from me." "Goodbye, de la Vega." "No!" "Armand, no!" "Please." "Not in front of Joaquin." "Please." "As soon as we're gone." "Elena." "My family is my life." "Shame about your friend the padre." "But he died with God's name on his lips and a bullet in his heart." "And now I send you out, a sheep amongst wolves." "Thank God you're alive." "I already did." "Listen, go to the marshal's office and tell them what Armand is doing here." "Where are you going?" "To catch a train." "Can I get you something to drink?" "Understand something:" "You can lock me in a tower forever and I will never stop hating you." "You may feel differently when you see how Joaquin enjoys the life of an aristocrat." " I can't wait till my papi kicks your" " Joaquin!" "Zorro!" "Zorro, Zorro!" "Don't touch him!" "Guards!" "Come on!" "Yes!" "Good boy." "Well done." "Let's see how much your father truly loves you." "Get the boy!" "Joaquin, quick." " Keep going." " What are you doing?" "When the car stops, get off and follow the tracks back to town." "You are the son of Zorro." "You can do it." "Now, go." "How did you get in here?" "So the devil will know who sent you." "The drinks are on me." "My fellow Californians we have gathered here at historic Bear Point to make official our entrance into the United States of America!" "Bravo!" "Welcome to the Union, governor." "Look at you." "A real heartbreaker, huh?" " Dad?" " Yeah?" "Why didn't you tell me who you are?" "Come here." "Joaquin when you were born, I vowed I would give my life to keep you safe." "I thought I could protect you by hiding the truth." "But your mother was right." "It wasn't my secret to keep." "It belongs to all of us." "So I promise I will never lie to you again." "Never." "I bless these rings in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." "Elena receive this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity." "Alejandro receive this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity." "Today you join in the fullness of time for all eternity." "Yea, seeketh tolerance when easily provoked." "Love endureth, for it keeps no score of wrongs." "Love bears all things and believes all things." "Love endures day by day hour by hour..." " ...minute by minute." " Padre." "Love is patient" "Padre." "Can you hurry it up a little?" "The people are calling." "It's who we are." " Do you want her back?" " Of course I do." " And you take him?" " If I must." "You may now kiss the bride." "Again." "Don't wait up." "Never."

"MARY JANE:" "Previously, on "Being Mary Jane"..." "How, pray tell, does my little brother, who used to twirl signs on the street corner, afford this?" "My old Boss in LA hooked me up with one of the best real estate firms in New York." " Come out with it." " Unh-unh." "Unh-unh." "Come on." "MARY JANE:" "Justin Talbot..." "now this brother told me that he had my back." "What I didn't realize is that meant stabbing me in my back." "Wow." "And now you're a correspondent on one of America's top-rated morning shows." "I say Justin Talbot, he did you a favor." "AARON:" "We'll be right back with Orlando Lagos who's gonna show us the key to his signature swing." "You have fun doing this." "It's the best job in the world." "ORLANDO:" "Yeah, how'd you get started, anyway?" "You wanna get out while you're at the top of your game, and if you're looking to be the next Michael Strahan," " I can help you." " What's in it for you?" "Let's just say making you look good makes me look even better." "I've really gotta get serious about finding a new place." "Do you know what?" "I do, too." "My sublet's up soon." "My brother's showing me a listing tomorrow afternoon." "Look, we're not actually having this conversation now, are we?" "No, 'cause... it's way too early for us to be... even thinking about this." " You haven't met my kids." " Exactly." "I suppose that congratulations are in order." "You and Mercedes broke the internet." "We should capitalize on it." "Ronda came up with a great way to do just that." "She suggested that you become our resident web correspondent." "What are you doing here?" "I'm the new senior producer." "Producer?" "Here?" "When Ronda Sales calls and invites you on the biggest morning show in the country, you answer." "TY:" "Lord Jesus have mercy." "KARA:" "Oh, you, too, Ty?" "TY:" "Child, please." "Justin's fineness trumps whatever y'all got goin' on." "KARA:" "Oh?" "WOMEN: [Laughing]" "Can nobody see through all this?" "KARA:" "Apparently not." "He did the same damn thing in Atlanta." "Oh, he's your friend... until he isn't." "The last thing I need is Justin with an army on his side." "YOUNG WOMAN IN CROWD [On VIDEO]:" "Hey, hey, hey." " Man, it's okay." " YOUNG MAN:" "What are you doin'?" "Is someone assaulting that boy in broad daylight?" "MARY JANE:" "Yeah, it the kid's dad." "He dragged him away for wearing a kilt." "The story's huge all over social media." "GARRETT:" "Do we have details?" "Yeah, the kid's name is Calhoun Jeffries, and the assault happened yesterday." "Assault?" "You said it's the kid's dad, right?" "Yeah, but it's been extremely polarizing." "Some people, like me, consider this gender-bashing." " Okay." " I call it good parenting." "What's your angle?" "The way it's trending, it's gonna be a huge story." "Oh, this is how we're reporting now... chasing Twitter feeds?" "I mean, you know, where's the journalism?" "Exactly." "This isn't news." "Okay, then what is it?" "A family matter." "Because it's the father, we're supposed to overlook that a child has been assaulted." "Mary Jane, I..." "I..." "I agree the footage is shocking." "But Justin and Ronda do have a point." "Let's back burner the story for now, and see where it goes on social media." "NATALIE:" "Oh, sorry, my phone bumped yours off the TV." "Did you take up knitting, Natalie?" "There's a new declutter book climbing the bestseller list." " Another one?" " NATALIE:" "Uh-huh." "Uh, Ronda, you mentioned something to me earlier." "Yes, I did." "Vera Wang called me the other day." "I guess it's time for my Winter Wedding segment." "Great." "Let's go with winter wedding gowns for now." "Thank you." "GARRETT:" "All right, good work, everyone." "That's it for now." "You're getting a kick out of this, aren't you?" "Being a news producer?" "Don't be coy." "You've been blocking me at every turn." " I'm not the problem here." " So, it's my imagination." "You didn't have a sufficient angle." "And that's not for you to say." "Garrett has asked me to produce your stories." " And why would he do that?" " Hm, good question." "It's either punishment for what happened with our reality star, or a reward." "I'm not sure which." "So, I'm just supposed to believe that this is all Garrett's doing." "You think I wanted to be paired with a web correspondent?" "[Laughs] Wow." "I'm not one to dwell on the past." "What's done is done, okay?" "I'm focused on producing killer stories and you should, too." "Images of a New Jersey teen being assaulted have set Twitter abuzz." " Some are saying it's an act of..." " KARA:" "Hey." "I thought this story idea got shot down." " It did." " So, what are you doing?" "Well, Garrett said to put it on the back burner, but he didn't say I couldn't put it online." "And you are the web correspondent." " I am." " Ohhhh..." "So, if the story keeps trending, it'll get Garrett's attention." " Mmmm." " KARA: [Clicking Tongue]" "Very smart." "Except, uh, because of that asshole Justin, I can't produce it." "Yeah, but you have been given the opportunity to work with Ronda and Aaron." "Run with it." "Yeah, but I'm still gonna give him a piece of my mind 'cause he's pissing all over my territory." "Oh, shit, I'm late." "I've gotta go help Orlando with his reel now." "You definitely have kept up your end of the bargain." "Hey, if this news thing doesn't work out," "I have a future as an agent." "ORLANDO: [On Tape] People complain the baseball season is too long, and I agree." "But baseball clings to its traditions, which is killing the sport." " How much longer?" " Hm?" "Oh, um... half an hour or so." "Are you bored?" "No." "I was just thinking that... maybe after?" "[Unintelligible] Los dos solitos." "Oh!" "[Laughs]" "Listen, I had a lot of fun the other night," "Yeah, the tequila was good, huh?" "Yeah, it was... it was real good, yeah." "But I don't... [Sighing]" "I just don't wanna go there, okay?" "So..." "[Laughs] Why not?" "Because we have an understanding and we're just doing one another a favor, so..." "Exactly." "ORLANDO: [Gasping]" "[Grunting]" "Images of a New Jersey teen being assaulted have set Twitter abuzz." "Two million views already." "This New Jersey story is really blowing' up." "It's a controversial issue and it just made sense to put it out on our platform." "Hm, good work." "All right, let's get on this, you two." "I think it's great for the 8:00 o'clock hour." "Garrett..." "I don't..." "I don't know if it's..." "Well, what's not to know?" "Thanks to Mary Jane, we own the story." "Now can you land this kid?" "I can get him." "Just you watch."

"Could one of you grab the profiteroles out of the fridge, so they can come up to room temperature?" "I stopped at Fleur du Mal on the way here." "KARA:" "Mmmm, I've been dying to go to that place." "Ah, it's my latest obsession." "[Kisses]" "Aw, look at you two... like a lil' old married couple. [Laughing]" "MARY JANE:" "Please." "We need just a little bit more time in the honeymoon stage." "I'm serious, MJ." "I've never seen you so at ease with a guy before." "It's nice." "So, what's up with you and the ball player?" "Oh, that's not a real relationship." "It's more like a business deal." " Really?" " Yeah." "You know what... at this stage in my life," "I'm not looking to have a man weigh me down." "Between my job, and flying back and forth to Atlanta, and trying to see the kids as much as I can, you know, it's just..." "it's not gonna happen." " Well, cheers." " Yeah." " To being busy." " [Glasses Clink]" " 'Cause that's how we roll." " That's how we roll." "Mmmm... although, I was hoping to settle for some great casual sex." "Oh, I'm sure Orlando's up for that." "Yeah, he is, but..." "He's not bringing his "A" game?" "Girl, it's worse than that." "He thinks I'm a freakin' bosu ball." "I swear I can hear him counting." "He's like... [Grunting, Huffing]" "I'm like, oh?" "[Laughing]" "Yeah, I know the type." "Stick to the script, homeboy." "Yes, he checks off all the erogenous zones." "I got that one!" "Please." "Maybe you can teach him a thing or two." "What, school a 34 year old man?" "Please, I ain't got time for that, girl, unh-unh." "LEE:" "You're really gonna try and make this kid talk?" "MARY JANE:" "Mm-hm." "Mm, look." "My New Jersey teen has a role model." "I found his fashion icon..." "D Razor." " I'm gonna say rapper." " Yes." "He has a new fashion line." "It specializes in traditionally female items... skirts and camisoles... but for dudes." "You know, you should see me in my kilt." " You have a kilt?" " Uh-huh." "My mother has an ancestor in the Gunn Clan." "It's a long story." "Still, a kilt." "There is a Puritanical streak in this country that always amazes me." "No, even my gay friends are hesitant when it comes to skirts." "Why do we do that?" "Question a person's sexual orientation based on what they wear?" "You are different." "I should hope so." "I mean, look at how you're sitting." "You cross your legs like a girl." "Come on." "What's wrong with the way I cross my legs?" "Okay, most Black men will... most American Black men, they spread 'em wide, right?" "They keep those legs wide." "At best, they cross the foot over the knee." "It still has space for their junk." "You have all this empathy for this kid who wears skirts, but, really..." "I can feel it's wrong for a boy to be bullied for wearing skirts, but it doesn't mean I want my man wearing them." "Right." "Oh, what are you doing?" "Oh, I'm gonna make a cup of tea." "If that's not too foreign." "Or feminine." "No, it's fine." "Mom, your pose with Orlando Lagos was so cool." "I've shown it to everyone at school." " Really?" " He's one of our favorite players." " How do you know him?" " Oh." "[Laughs] He's just a friend." " Man, I want your job." " Really, baby?" "Because what if you have two kids and you never get to see them, hm?" "I miss you guys." "We miss you, too." "So, do we get to meet Orlando whenever we come to New York?" "Um..." " Maybe." "We'll see." " Cool." "All right, listen, why don't you finish getting ready for school, okay?" " All right." " I love you guys." " We love you." " Okay." "Bye." "[Kisses Phone]" "[Laughs]" "They haven't even met you and they like you already." " I love kids, too." " What's that about?" "Come here, mami." "[Groans, Laughs]" "What's wrong?" "[Heavy Sigh]" "Orlando, um..." "I like you... a lot, and you're a lot of fun to hang out with, really, but the, um, physical stuff... is not that much fun." "Excuse me?" "I mean, the sex is good, you know?" "But it can be so much better." "Listen, you've got the perfect body, and you've got all the equipment that you need." "It's just..." "I've never had any complaints before." "Well, of course, you haven't." "Because you've been screwing all these 23 year old groupies and they don't complain because they don't know any better, so..." "You seriously don't like it." "[Sighing] Listen... it doesn't have to be a negative, you know?" " This could be fun." " Then what is this?" "We are gonna work on your technique... starting with oral." "What, you don't even like how I go down on you?" "Okay, Orlando, wait, wait, wait." "Listen... papa..." "Look, you are a strong man, and even your tongue, sometimes it's extra forceful, and it's not always about how hard or how fast you go, you know what I mean?" "Oh..." "I have something for you." "Does this remind you of anything?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" "[Laughing] Good." "Because..." "I want you to remove this pit with nothing but your tongue." "[Laughs]" "Justin, I wanna bring the rapper D Razor on the show, and ask him about the Calhoun Jeffries video." "A rapper talking about a video he saw." " Yeah." " That's your angle." "No, what happened to that kid was child abuse." "Did anyone report it to Child Protective Services?" " No, but they should have." " Mm-hm... according to whom?" "The idiots who chime in on their smartphones?" "Well, yeah, that's how the internet works." "I call that mob rule." "And I call that clicks rule." "Whether you like it or not, social media is news." "Okay." "You see, that's exactly the kind of thinking that got us your reality star." "Now you want me to bring on a crossdressing rapper?" "On the morning news?" "No, thanks." "Wait, wait, wait." "How about we put it to Garrett?" "Let him decide." "Hey, Justin, come here." "Check this out." "One second." "Um, look at this." "The turnover's killin' us... again." "That defense is lookin' strong, isn't it?" "I can come back, if this isn't a good time." "No, go ahead." "Pitch." "Okay." "Uh..." "So, I was thinking of bringing in D Razor and asking him about that New Jersey teen." " D Razor the rapper?" " Yes." "What happened to landing the kid first?" "He's proving a little hard to nail down." "But this is my way of reaching out to him." "You think this'll convince him to talk?" "Maybe." "But, at any rate, it keeps the story hot." "Hm... tsk, this D Razor." " He's popular in his own right?" " Yes." "Mm-hm?" "Look, he has a lot of fans, all right, but you wouldn't even be considering him if it wasn't for this video." "Yeah, and my segment on that video just surpassed three million hits." " Three million?" " Yes." "Hm..." "I wasn't expecting that." "Look, I have to agree." "I don't want to, but..." " Let's do it." " Great." "Oh, and, uh, Mary Jane... the next time you two can't agree on something, work it out yourselves." "Sure." "Camera two, go to a two-shot." "Hey, Justin, can I talk to you for a second?" " Yeah." " Listen, if you hate Mary Jane so much, why are you manoeuvering to get on all her stories?" "I don't hate Mary Jane and I definitely don't manoeuver to get on her stories." "Right." "That's a lot of crap." "Because the way you've got this place wired around here since you arrived, nobody's gonna force you into doing something you don't want to." " Are we done?" " No, actually, I'm not done." "You should know that this little charm spell you've got going with everybody here is not working on me." "So..." "You wanna know what my secret is?" "I'm dying to find out." "What is it?" "I just work harder than everyone else." " Oh..." " You're a single mom, yeah?" "What does that have to do with anything?" "Well, you can never commit as much as I can." "You and I both know that the system is rigged, and it's unfortunate, but it's harder for you." "That's a fact." "Right." "Right." "You know what?" "You might be a hard little worker bee, but I'm frickin' smart." " Mm-hm?" " Yeah." "And Mary Jane is special." "Her talent is one of a kind." "But it takes somebody really smart to bring it out of her." "Like you did at SNC?" "Thanks for the advice." "Yeah, I'll be watching out for her." "Pig." "PJ:" "Welcome." "Come on in." "Come on in." " MARY JANE:" "Here you go." " I got you." "MARY JANE:" "Thank you." "Mary Jane, I'm so glad that we finally get to meet." " I'm Olivia." " It's so nice to meet you." "This is the client that I've been telling you about." "Ah, so, you're the one trying to turn my brother into a real estate mogul." "Well, we're working on that, aren't we?" " Yes, we are." " And you must be Lee." "Such a pleasure to meet you." " [Kisses]" " Nice to meet you." " I'll open that for you." " Thanks." " Thank you." " Come." "Olivia, I'm curious." "How is it that my little brother got a Rolex after six months?" "What do you get when you retire?" "OLIVIA:" "You know what they say." "There are two kinds of people... those that say something about your Rolex and those that notice, but don't say anything." "Oh, yes, and we all know what kind Mary Jane is." "When my parents died, I knew nothing about the business." "It took me quite a few years to learn that it's not the financials that trip up most people." "It's the intangibles, the invisible barriers." "I know that all too well." "PJ has the most natural talent that I've ever seen." "He's both intelligent and disarming." "If I were 20 or 25 years younger, he would have had me in bed long ago." "PJ: [Laughing]" "But I have other plans for him." "I want to break up these exclusive circles that PJ is shut out of, bring in someone like him to open more doors for people of color." "That's commendable." "So, PJ with a $30,000 Rolex?" "People want to see that you're in or out of the club." "The watch just says that he's one of us." " To us." " To us." "[Glasses Clinking]" "I'm kind of stunned." "What do you mean?" "Olivia really is PJ's mentor." "What, you still doubted him, after everything he said?" "If you knew my brother, you'd understand why." "I think he's a lucky guy." "You mean I can relax." "My brother's in a good place." "So, it seems, are you." "[Kisses]" "[Sighing] Oh..." "Okay, okay, stop, stop, stop, stop, no." " What?" " [Sighing]" "You're just trying too hard." " [Groans]" " Sorry." "Maybe I should find somebody who likes what I do." "No, come on, papi." "No, no, no." "Listen to me." "Stop." "You're just overthinking it." "You know, you're concentrating too much." "But I wanna give you your pleasure." "I know." "I know." "But in order to do that, you've gotta kind of lose yourself in the flow, like you do in baseball, okay?" "It's not just you doing things to me." "It's back and forth, all right?" "Yeah." "Let's try it again." "Come on." "Mmm, give me your hand." "Yes." "Oh..." "[Moans] Yes..." "[Sighing]" "Mmmm..." "What's wrong?" "I can't." "[Sighs] Okay." "Okay, listen to me." "Let's just slow this down a little bit." " No, just stop." " Let's just slow this down." " Just stop." " Why?" " Oh, hi." " How'd it go with Justin?" "I said what I had to say." " Huh." " Mm-hm." "Is that the leftover food from our dinner?" "Mm-hm." "Girl, this is so amazing, honestly." "You have got to get your own kitchen... quick." "I'm workin' on it." "And Lee is so amazing, too." " Hm..." " Oh, no." "No, no, no, please don't..." "don't ruin my illusion." "I need my vicarious orgasms right now." "It's not that." "It's just... he lacks that... swagger, you know what I mean?" "So, he's a little on the soft side." "He's like a big, sexy teddy bear." "You know I'm not used to that." "Mary Jane, you make up these imaginary problems." "No." "Seriously, though, seriously, though... how metro is too metro?" "'Cause I think he's it." "I don't know." "But I do know this... you are so fired as a sex therapist." " The ball player?" " Yes." " You took my advice?" " Yes... and that boy got up outta my bed and called an Uber." " Ouch." " All right?" "That's gotta be tough on the ego." "Yeah, no kidding." "Now I don't know if I'm ever gonna see him again, which really sucks, because having Orlando around was working wonders on Garrett, 'cause he was finally starting to listen to me." "Now I'm back to zero." " Oh, check it out." " What?" "JUSTIN:" "Boom, boom, boom." "He's got their full attention," "Yeah, but I don't think he's flirting." "I think he's recruiting the hell outta this." "He's even got the boys in his corner." "And now he's working on the women." "Everything that man does is strategic." "I'm just having reservations about it all." "Reservations?" "About my story?" "Garrett already approved it." "I'm aware of that." "Men like D Razor, you put them on, we are essentially coming down in favor of their lifestyle." "Ronda, what are you trying to say?" "Kids watch this show, Black kids, many of whom don't have positive role models at home." "I am concerned that it's our duty to put forth positive images of Black masculinity, and with these young men, they don't exactly do that." "I don't have a problem giving him a mic." "I'm more concerned that this rapper is gonna portray this kid in the viral video as a victim." "And how is he not a victim?" "Okay." "You wanna know what I see on that tape?" "A father protecting his son." "Let's just be real." "If you wanna be that different around Black people, you've gotta be prepared to take a few knocks." "Funny, Justin, I don't recall you talking this tough in the story meeting." "You know why, Mary Jane." "Garrett's not one to pick up on the subtleties." "Okay, is either one of you going to tell Garrett that he's wrong?" "Hm?" "Oh, no?" "Right." "I didn't think so." "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a story to prepare." "D Razor, everyone watching here today sees a man wearing women's clothes." "What do you want them to think about that?" "That I'm fabulous." "You certainly are." "See, here's the thing, Mary Jane... the youth is more open-minded." "Okay?" "We don't care." "Like me, I'm a male who wears skirts and dresses." "So what?" "What about the influence that you have on kids... kids that don't have your wealth or fame, but wanna emulate your flamboyant style." "You're talking about that video." " You saw it?" " Of course." "Let's take a moment to show our viewers the viral video." "YOUNG WOMAN IN CROWD: [On Video] It's okay." "CROWD:" "Oh!" "YOUNG MAN IN CROWD:" "Oh, ho, ho." "CROWD:" "Ohhh..." "The young man was assaulted wearing your clothes." "What would you like to say to him?" "I would say that... we need to call out the person that did that." "We need to make sure that that never happens again." "[Knock On Door]" "KARA:" "What are you doing here?" "I didn't expect you to be back." "Quite frankly, I..." "October 19th, 2010." "Okay." "What happened?" "The greatest play of my career." "Oh?" "The ball shoots up the middle." "If it gets past me, Philly scores." "We don't get to the World Series." " Okay." " I laid out for that one." "Popped up, still made that double play." " It was my first pennant win." " Good for you!" "Wow!" "Congratulations!" "I'm saying, if I can do all that..." "Yeah?" "I can master all this." " Whoa." "Wait a minute." " [Kisses]" "Okay." "We need to set some ground rules first, okay?" "You need to slow it down." "All right. [Kisses]" "No, no, no, listen to me." "Before you step up to home plate to bat, what do you do?" " Warm up?" " Exactly." "Same rules apply here, papi." "You've gotta warm up." "And take it slow... you know, just relax... and we have to ease into it..." "BOTH: [Laugh]" " Okay?" " Yeah." "Okay." "Nice and slow." "Mmmm." " Now that was nice." " Mmmm..." "[Laughing]" " [Panting]" " Not yet." "Not yet." " Oh." " Not yet." "I'm trying to get you in control." "You mean like the zone?" " Whatever you wanna call it." " [Head Thuds]" "Can I call it the zone?" " You can call it the zone." " [Groans]" "♪ I can feel that body shake ♪" "♪ And the heat between your legs ♪" " [Gentle Kissing]" " Oh, yes." "♪ You've been scared of love ♪" "♪ And what it did to you ♪" "♪ You don't have to run ♪" "♪ I know what you've been through ♪" "Look at me." "Look at me." "No, no, no, no, honey."

" [Heavy Thud]" "[Gasping]" "Oh, my God..." "[Laughs] Oh, my God..." "Oh..." "NATALIE:" "Do you like basketball?" " JUSTIN:" "Yeah." " They're pretty nice seats." "Yeah, these are, uh, these are great seats." " Mm-hm, yeah." " Thank you." "[Laughs] So, would you wanna go?" "Is Natalie falling for it, too?" "Girl, she's got two tickets to the Knick's game tonight, and she's trying to see if she can get him to bite." " These are great seats." " Yeah?" "Oh, he paused." "That's not a good sign." "Yeah, a pause is always no." "I have to admit this is oddly therapeutic." "Okay." "KARA:" "Natalie?" "Nat?" "How'd it go?" "Great." "Justin definitely wants to see the Knicks play." "But he wants to bring his girlfriend." " Oh?" " Girlfriend?" "He offered to buy the tickets off me." "Oh, girl, I'm sorry." "What'd you say?" "I sold them to him... for twice what I paid." "Good girl." "You know what, though, Natalie, it's not even you." "I'm pretty sure he prefers White women." " NATALIE:" "You think?" " MARY JANE:" "Mm-hm." "That's always the case with guys like that." "A registered Republican, political climber." " Mm-hm." " Damn sure he's probably dating Becky." "Mm-hm." " Mm." "Mm." "Mm." " Mm-hm." "[Sighs]" "Olivia, hi." "It was so great to meet your sister the other day, PJ." "She really shines in person, not just on TV." "Thank you." "I'll let her know you said so." " Listen, I need a favor." " Sure." "My daughter Ava is driving down from Vassar tonight." "Mm-hm." "She'll be looking into some internship opportunities." " Could you sit down with her?" " Sure, I'd love to help her out." "Ava has a good head on her shoulders, but she's young." "I get it." "Not a problem at all." " Thank you." " I'll talk to you soon." "[Knocks On Door]" "Any luck gettin' the Jersey kid?" "Okay, look... you know I'm not a fan for this story, but the fact is, it's blowing up, and if you don't deliver, you're gonna screw us both." "I'm working on it." " Okay." "Working on it?" " Yeah." "Why are you still here, then?" "Excuse me?" "You said you were gonna talk to him, right?" "You were gonna find him and talk to him." "So, let's go, it's show time." "I..." "I have tried many times." "Oh, okay." "So, your big plan with the rapper doesn't work out." "What are you gonna do now?" "♪" "Ava, hey." "I'm Paul." "Let me help you with that." "Your mom wanted me to make sure you got in okay." "How's everything?" "I'm not Ava, I'm Kristy." "This is Ava." " AVA:" "Hey, Paul." " Oh." "Hi." "Mom didn't tell me my new babysitter would be so cute." "[Laughing]" "Oh, boy... [Sighing]" "Calhoun?" "Hey, Calhoun?" "I'm Mary Jane Paul from "Great Day USA."" "I know who you are and why you're here." "Wait." "I have a message from D Razor." "Yeah, he felt for your situation and he wants to meet you in person." "He said that?" "And we can make it happen, if you come on our show." "I don't know." "I..." "It would mean so much to so many people... what with gay-bashing on the rise." "Oh, that's right." "Because I wear skirts, all right, I must be gay, right?" " No, that's not..." " It's cool." "It's cool." "A lot of people make that assumption." "My dad does." "So, you don't identify as gay." "Clothes don't make you gay any more than they make you straight." "And why should what I wear affect you?" " Why should you even care?" " Exactly." "That's why you should come on "Great Day USA" and tell America that." "What the hell is going on here?" "Mr. Jeffries, I was just talking to Calhoun..." "You have exactly ten seconds to get off my property." "Look, I have reporters knocking on my door every day accusing me of all manners of things." "I'm just trying to protect my son the best way I know how." "I cannot have him walking up and down this neighborhood dressed like a damn freak." "Your son is not a freak." "You don't know a damn thing about my son." "You just wanna turn him into a media spectacle." "But what happens when the cameras leave, and you move on to your next story?" "Ah." "No, my son's not doing no damn interview and that's that." "Come on." "You're wrong, Dad." "I am doing it." "So, you're man enough to tell me what you're gonna do now?" "So what?" "What if I beat you down?" "Then I'll have your respect?" "You'll be proud of me then, right?" "Look, if that's what it's gonna take, then come on, I'm ready." " It's okay." " [Door Slams]" " KARA: [Gasping] - [Groans]" "Hold on." "Not yet." "Not yet." " Oh, boy..." " Not yet." "[Groaning]" "Wait. [Laughing]" "Wait a minute." "Oh!" "Oh, my God, what are you doing?" "BOTH: [Laughing]" " [Groaning] - [Groans]" "Yeah. [Gasping]" "[Groans]" "[Laughing]" "[Laughing]" "[Sighing]" " ORLANDO:" "Oh..." " Oh, my God." "I can't even focus my eyes." "That was record for me." "You can't tell me you didn't enjoy that." "Oh... [Laughing]" "I utterly... enjoyed that." "Oh, mami." "Mmm... no complaints here." "[Laughing]" " No?" "No complaints?" " That was amazing." " Finally." " Oh, God..." "[Sighs]" "What's up?" " What are you thinking about?" " Huh?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "I was just thinking about a story I have to prepare for." "You were?" "You're thinking about work right now?" "[Laughing] I'm sorry." " About work, huh?" " [Laughing]" "You're thinking about work right now, are you?" "[Laughing] No, cut it out." "Oh!" "What are you... stop." "Put me down." "Are you thinking about work right now?" "Oh!" "You thinking about work right now?" "No. [Laughing]" "Oh, here we go." "[Moaning]" "Okay. [Gasping]" "Oh, okay... oh!" " Oh!" "Oh!" " What?" "What?" " What's the matter?" " I can't move my neck." " Oh, my God." " I can't move my neck." "Hey." "What are we gonna do about this situation?" "What?" "Orlando's neck." "Oh." "Oh, I know." "Right?" "Poor guy." "I know." "They say he's gonna miss the start of spring training." "Oh, my God, I didn't know it was that serious." "Mm-hm." "How the heck did he do it?" "Um, I mean, I..." "I think he was trying to show off, trying to play football with a few friends, or something like that, I don't know." "Well, tell him to be more careful, for Christ's sake." "Yeah, I will." "I will." "Calhoun, gotta say..." "loving the outfit." "Aw, thank you." "It's D Razor all the way." "He was my stylist for today." "D Razor, he's on record as saying that clothes don't make you gay." "What do you think about that?" "He's right." "I mean, what I'm wearing doesn't determine my sexuality." "So, is it tough to find like-minded peers at school?" "Yeah, but I use social media as an outlet, you know, like, I share my looks, and I get ideas, too." "It's kinda like where I find my community, I guess." "Speaking of community, what's been the reaction to your clothes at school?" "How do the kids treat you?" "I get teased and... and roughed up a lot." "But, I don't know, I feel like for every kid who, like, picks on me, or roughs me up, there are, like, two or three more who defend me, I guess." "And how does it feel when they defend you?" "It feels good to be accepted, you know, 'cause..." "I don't deserve to go through the things that I go through because of what I wear." "So, you know, when someone is bold enough to, like, step forward and defend me because I'm human, it just... it feels better than the things" "I experience every day, I guess." "Can you imagine having to deal with this abuse all day at school and coming home and getting an extra dose from your father?" "My father dropped a lot of hard shoots on me, too." "It must have been tough." "Hm..." "I've got no regrets." "I'm not a victim." "I'm a winner." "It made me a stronger person." "Oh." "I have courtside seats to the game this evening." " Hey." " Hey." "[Kisses]" "I'm so happy to get outta here." "I hope you don't mind me dropping in on you like this." "No, papi, sure." "Come on in and sit down." "I'm so worried about your neck." "I'm sorry." "Does it hurt?" "It'll slow me down a bit." "Oh..." "I know I can't perform like I used to, but, um..." "I was hoping, uh..." "Oh, what?" "I was hoping that maybe you'd wanna just hang out." "[Laughs] That's so sweet." "Is that okay?" "Aw..." "Yeah." "Of course." "Sure, you can hang out." "[Kisses]" "We can hang out." "FEMALE REPORTER:" "Offers of support continue to pour in for New Jersey teenager, Calhoun Jeffries..." "Man, oh, man, that Calhoun interview... woo!" "You watch me?" "It's my way of keeping tabs on you." " Right." " BOTH: [Laugh]" "Without you, none of this would have seen the light of day." "Probably not." "Seriously... a great story." "Thanks. [Kisses]" " Tea?" " Come on." "Come on." "Mary Jane." "What?" "Just because I drink tea, cross my legs funny, and wear skinny jeans, which all the guys are doing, by the way, doesn't make me any less of a man." "I know." "It's just..." "I wish sometimes you'd dial it back a little." "Right... because you're used to dating those... thuggish, muscular, tattooed dudes who are straight out of '90s rap video." "Well... if that's what you're after," "I'm not your guy." "I know." "I've gotta wrap my head around it." "Didn't you learn anything from your story?" "Apart from the fact that skirts and leggings make a great combo." "Yes, I did, I did, and you're right." "But self knowledge is just the first step to enlightenment." " Yeah?" " Yeah." " Yeah." " LEE: [Laughs]" "[Kissing]" " Okay, babe." " Hm." "I'm gonna show you how to drink tea like a real man." " Oh, God..." " LEE: [Laughing]" "♪"

"Previously on "the vampire diaries"..." "For over a century, I have lived in secret." "Until now." "I know the risk, but I have to know her." "What are you?" "I'm a vampire." "Tell me about your ex, Katherine." "I don't want you seeing Elena anymore." "If you don't remove her from your life," "Every will kill everyone that you love." "You must be Elena." "How do we look exactly alike?" "The lockwoods are werewolves?" "The werewolf gene runs in the lockwood family." "Tell me what triggers the curse!" "You have to kill somebody!" "The werewolf part of the curse is sealed with the moonstone." "Katherine will only rip your heart out." "Let me do it for her." "You have no idea what you've just done." "Aww." "Did I put a kink in your master plan?" "Do honestly believe that I don't have a plan b?" "Jenna, no!" "We were just [indistinct], sneaking around," "Thinking we weren't going to get caught." "But it's over." "I'm going after tyler lockwood." "And you're not going to stop..." "Until he kills me." "Here." "I'm still shaking." "What happened?" "Go ahead, tell him." "You're gonna love this." "I saw Katherine today." "Where?" "At the grill." "I just stopped by to gawk and..." "Quasi-stalk matt." "Do you need a table?" "No, I'm not staying." "I just need to use the little girl's room." "Skip the teen drama and get to it." "Then I had to pretend to the use the bathroom" "Even though I didn't have to go, 'cause I'm a dufus." "Elena?" "Hey, I saw you with matt." "Are you ok?" "Yeah, ya know..." "Whatever." "You're good." "What gave me away?" "Was it the hair or was it my clothes?" "I know Elena's at..." "I know Elena's at home." "I need you to deliver a message." "What was the message?" "Tell Damon and Stefan that I want the moonstone" "Or I will rip this town apart until it rains blood." "Tell him the rest of it." "Tonight." "At the masquerade ball." "She wants to do it in public." "Killing mason through her off guard." "She's running scared." "What she did to jenna was desperate." "She's out of tricks." "We can't underestimate her." "We have to play this smarter than her." "Can't we just give her the moonstone so she'll leave?" "No." "Katherine's not getting dick." "I've had it." "I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball," "And I'm going to kill her tonight." "You're not gonna kill her." "Don't give me that goody-goody crap." "You're not going to kill her." "Oh, really?" "Because I am." "Matt:" "Easy..." "Grab the door, jeremy." "Jenna:" "Stop fussing, I'm fine." "The doctor said that you have to take it easy." "Yeah, you don't wanna rip the stitches, hemorrhage, and die, right?" "The only thing I'm gonna die from is embarrassment." "No..." "I "walked" into a knife." "How does somebody do that?" "It was a freak accident." "It happens." "Yeah." "I mean, I've done it, like, 20 times at the grill." "Ok, I'm being nice." "All right, easy..." "What should I do with this?" "I got it." "So, what are we gonna do?" "Make lunch." "About Katherine." "We're not going to do anything, jeremy." "She tried to kill jenna." "We can't let her get away with that." "Yes, we can." "If it keeps us safe, then we can." "What if she tries something else?" "She won't." "Katherine hurt jenna because I didn't do what she said." "Well, I'm doing it now." "Me and Stefan are over." "She wins." "The end." "You're being naive and you know it." "Where are you going?" "Out." "I'll be back!" "Where should I put these?" "Right there." "Thank you, miss flowers." "You've been such a wonderful help." "Oh, it's my pleasure, dear." "Let me know if there's anything else I can do." "I will." "Whoa, kat, chill." "Do not sneak up on a vampire." "Don't attack a witch." "It's good to see ya, girl." "I'm glad you made it." "You called." "I came." "Like you had a choice." "Don't get all boss lady on me." "You know I love you." "Hmm." "Now, where does one wear this?" "To a masquerade ball." "Tonight." "You can be my date." "Hey, come on in." "I got Stefan's message." "Hey, you brought the grimoire." "Thank you." "What's going on?" "We're gonna kill Katherine." "I can explain." "Please." "We're gonna kill Katherine." "Now, this works with compressed air." "The trigger is here." "I've got 2 of these in a different size." "And for you, I recommend this." "Fits nicely under a jacket sleeve." "Here's the trigger when you're ready." "You wanted me to show you how to kill vampires." "What's with the hair?" "I'm impersonating my dull as dishwater doppelganger, Elena." "She has the worst taste." "Except in men." "Isn't it a risk pretending to be her in front of the entire town?" "I've gotten quite good at it actually." "And everyone's gonna be in masks." "Mm-mmm." "It's for some feed the something charity." "It's for a good cause, lucy." "Hmm." "Ok." "Well, have you actually seen the moonstone before?" "I always thought it was some made-up legend." "I've seen it." "And I need you to help me get it back." "Oh, yeah?" "What are you going to do with it?" "You want me to break the curse." "Let's just get it first." "What I really need is for your back-up." "I can't that imagine Damon and Stefan are just gonna hand it over" "Without putting up a fight." "I know you love Elena and you want to be with her, but it's risky." "Too many people could get hurt." "Look, I want Elena back, yes." "But it's more than that." "What Katherine did to jenna crossed a line." "And she has to be stopped before it happens again." "I don't know, Stefan." "Look, Katherine knows me, all right?" "She knows that I'm not gonna won't try something in a crowd" "Full of innocent people." "So, that gives me an edge." "I can catch her by surprise." "I could do a spell to trap her." "Like the tomb spell..." "Right." "We can isolate her away from the others." "Please, bonnie?" "Ok." "You're welcome to hang out." "Alaric's coming over." "It's gonna be pizza and bad tv." "I'd love to but I'm going to the masquerade party at the lockwood's." "Aren't you?" "Uh, no..." "Not with what's going on with me and Stefan." "I've got to go." "There's something I've got to do." "What?" "Just something." "I can't talk about it." "But, I've gotta go." "Ok." "Well, have fun." "Yeah, me in a suit." "You look good in a suit." "You and Stefan will work it out." "I don't think so, matt." "There's so much about me and Stefan that will never work." "You know I'm here for you." "Always." "You sure you guys don't want me there tonight?" "No, I need you to stay with Elena." "I don't want her to know about this." "Ok." "I'll make sure she doesn't leave my sight." "All right." "If anybody wants to back out," "I'll understand." "Yeah, cold feet speak now." "I don't want this going wrong" "Because someone chickens out." "Caroline?" "I won't." "She killed me." "Fair's fair." "And as long as there are no werewolves running around." "Oh, I took care of mason." "And as long as tyler doesn't kill anyone... he won't turn." "Bonnie?" "Are you with us?" "But no one gets hurt." "Except Katherine." "Tonight, Katherine, gets a stake through her heart." "It's all ready packed out there." "You know, we need to keep that door shut." "Your father would be very unhappy if I let guests in here." "Oh, look at you." "So handsome!" "Thanks." "You look pretty good too, mom." "Oh, a compliment..." "I think I'll fall over." "Listen." "I'm sorry I've been a dick lately...jerk lately." "It's just..." "Have you heard from mason?" "No, and I don't think we're going to." "He's coming." "He's going." "It's just his way." "He's the exact opposite of your father." "We should have cancelled this party." "This whole masquerade theme was his idea." "I don't know what it has to do with helping the homeless" "But once he made up his mind, he could really be a dick." "A jerk." "But I loved him." "And I know you did too." "It's natural to feel abandoned." "I just don't want you to feel alone." "Come on, put your mask on." "Let's just go out there and pretend to have some fun." "I think I need a cocktail first." "Elena?" "Matt?" "You look dashing." "I thought you said you weren't coming." "I couldn't miss it." "You really are hot in a suit." "I'd love to just..." "Ok, here's the deal." "Do you know what you have to do?" "I'm going to get tyler lockwood really drunk." "I'm going to start a fight with him." "And I'm going to beat him until he snaps." "And then?" "I won't stop until he kills me." "God, you're hot." "Now, go away." "Thank you." "Do you see her?" "No." "Are you sure can do this?" "Who are you talking to?" "I had the chance to kill her, and I hesitated." "Well, that is the fork in the road between you and me, my friend." "I don't hesitate." "You spent 145 years loving her." "It could happen." "I won't hesitate." "All right." "We're really not supposed to be in here." "Yeah, I know." "But we really need to turn this party up." "Another shot?" "Hey, I want a shot." "Me too." "And then we have to dance." "Yes." "You know, usually it's me corrupting you." "I like this." "Ok, let's go party." "I thought this room could work." "It's perfect." "Is that the spellbook I read about in my family's old journal?" "It was my ancestor, emily's." "The spell I'm doing here is similar to the one" "That sealed the vampires into the tomb." "Can you do all the stuff that's in there?" "It takes practice." "I've worked on some small spells." "Spells that only do good." "I don't wanna know too much." "I don't particularly enjoy any of this," "In case you haven't noticed." "But you're 100% witch." "That is so cool." "It's anything but cool." "Did your family journals tell you what happened to emily?" "Or how about my grams?" "It never ends well for people like me." "If you feel that way why help?" "Because I don't want anyone else getting hurt." "And..." "I don't know how to stay out of it." "I feel like an invalid." "That's because you are an invalid." "Where's jeremy?" "Isn't he hungry?" "He already left for the lockwood party." "He went to that?" "I'm glad." "He needs to have more fun." "Lose some of that emo-thing." "I'm gonna get some napkins." "What's going on?" "What do you mean?" "I haven't heard from anyone all day." "It's like everyone's been avoiding me." "And now jeremy's supposedly at the party?" "He hates stuff like that." "I don't know what to tell you, Elena." "[cell phone vibrates]" "So then you'll be ok if I just head out," "And try and meet up with everyone?" "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "What are you hiding, rick?" "Stefan asked me to keep an eye on you," "Just in case Katherine showed up while he was at the party." "So, Stefan's at the party too?" "He would never go to the party for himself." "He did that stuff for me." "Just let this one go." "Ok, Elena?" "We need to let Stefan and Damon know the room's ready." "Do you feel that?" "What's the matter?" "You cold?" "No." "Excuse me?" "Do I know you?" "Nope." "I'm a plus one." "I know no one." "It's a great party though." "You ok?" "Just got a weird vibe." "Let's find Damon." "[party music playing]" "Dance with me." "No." "Fine." "You tell me who I should kill." "Him?" "She looks delicious." "It's a beautiful night." "Why the charade?" "How's jenna?" "I certainly didn't expect her to survive that." "Lucky girl." "Clumsy." "How does one stab oneself?" "Katherine..." "Hmm?" "I don't want anyone to get hurt tonight." "Ok." "Then give me the moonstone and nobody will." "Well, see I don't have the moonstone on me." "So, you and I will have to go get it together." "Hmm." "I have a better plan." "You go fetch it." "And I will try not to kill anyone in the meantime." "My way..." "Or you don't get it." "Hey, Stefan, I can't find matt." "Oh my God, Elena, you look so pretty." "I love that dress." "You look gorge." "Thank you." "I love your necklace." "Oh, thanks." "Oh, it's twisted." "Here, let me." "Here we go." "Paralyzed from the waist down." "And dead." "The moonstone, Stefan." "Tick-tock." "Hey, guys." "I'm gonna go to bed." "You good over there?" "'night." "Goodnight." "I put her body in the trunk for now." "We can dump her when we get back." "This is what I didn't want, Damon." "Stefan, it's collateral damage." "Right, which is why we need to call it off." "What?" "Who's hesitating now?" "Hey." "Don't do this to me!" "This woman ruined our lives." "She destroyed us." "Tonight it ends." "We can do it together." "I got your back." "All right." "All right." "So, can you like do a hocus pocus to ace a test?" "I don't know that spell." "That'd be like the first one I'd learn." "Maybe like a sex spell or something." "I don't know." "You wanna or dance or something while we wait?" "No!" "I mean, no thank you." "[cell phone vibrates]" "You didn't tell me there was another witch here." "Didn't I?" "No, you didn't." "No one is supposed to know I'm involved." "This changes things, Katherine." "This changes nothing." "You're here because you owe your dear friend a favor." "You wouldn't want to lose my friendship, now would you?" "Jeremy:" "Elena." "Hey, sorry." "Could I...could I talk to my sister?" "What is it, jeremy?" "I have a message from Stefan." "Oh?" "He and Damon want you to meet them at the edge" "Of the lake by the woods." "They brought the moonstone." "And why are you their little messenger?" "Because they know I'm not afraid of you." "Ohh." "You gilbert men." "So courageous." "How's john, by the way?" "Were they able to sew his fingers back on?" "What the hell is going on?" "!" "What are Stefan and Damon up to?" "What do you mean?" "I've got jeremy gilbert luring me out to the lake." "What's going on?" "I don't know...nothing." "Don't lie to me, caroline." "They're up to something." "What is it?" "I..." "Wait, no." "Ok." "they're trying to kill you." "I figured as much." "Where's the moonstone?" "Bonnie has it." "And where's bonnie right now?" "I don't know." "Ok." "She's upstairs." "She's upstairs." "You guys are trying to kill her here?" "We saw an opportunity, and knew we had to take it." "Ok." "Stop with the "we." are you guys crazy?" "You could get yourselves killed." "We know what we're doing, Elena." "And how am I supposed to feel" "If one of you gets hurt because of me?" "It's not just you anymore, Elena." "She's messed with all of us." "She has to be stopped." "Why do you keep dragging me into this?" "I don't want to be a part of it." "Shut up." "Which room is it?" "It's that one." "Where is she?" "Caroline:" "Heh." "Heh." "I did it." "Heh." "I really didn't think that I'd be able to fool you." "But I did it." "What the...?" "Stefan?" "Hello, Katherine." "Goodbye, Katherine." "You don't really think that you can kill me with that, now do you?" "No." "But he can." "what's happening?" "!" "What's going on?" "!" "Jeremy, it's Katherine!" "She's linked to Katherine!" "Get them to stop, now!" "Stop!" "You're hurting Elena." "Everything you're doing to her is hurting Elena." "You think you two are the only ones with a witch on your side?" "Wrong." "And something tells me that my witch is better than your witch." "Jeremy, go check on Elena." "Make sure she's ok." "Damon:" "Go!" "Let's all make sure poor Elena is ok." "Little bit more pressure." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Bonnie, it hurts." "I can't break the spell, Elena." "I'm sorry." "But I can try to take some of the pain away." "Ok?" "Ok?" "Ok." "[chanting a spell] ascinda, mulaf, hinto, ascinda..." "This is really going to hurt." "Damon:" "Wait!" "Ok." "So, how about that moonstone?" "Are you ok?" "I'm gonna be." "They're stuck in there with her." "You were right." "Katherine had a witch link Elena to her." "That girl I saw." "The one inside." "Stay with her." "Keep pressure on her shoulder." "Where are you going?" "There's another witch here, I'm gonna find her." "No." "Take this." "No." "Jeremy..." "Elena, please." "You need this more than I do." "No, jeremy." "What I need is for you to be safe." "The three of us together, just like old times." "The brother who loved me too much." "And the one that didn't love me enough." "Damon:" "And the evil slut vampire who only loved herself." "What happened to you, Damon?" "You used to be so sweet and polite?" "Oh, that Damon died a long time ago." "Good." "He was a bore." "Why don't you two stop antagonizing each other." "Where's the moonstone?" "What do you want with it?" "Does Elena enjoy having both of you worship at her altar?" "That was really desperate, Katherine." "Don't you think that we can see through you?" "So it doesn't bother you" "That Damon is in love with your girlfriend?" "Stop." "Of what?" "You'll hurt me?" "Come on, Stefan." "Everything that I feel,Elena fe." "So, go ahead." "Or better yet." "Kiss me, Damon." "She'll feel that too." "Stefan:" "You know, this whole mason thing has me a bit confused." "Why a werewolf?" "The moonstone can break a curse" "That would help them destroy all vampires." "So, what's in that for you?" "Sorry about your pet wolf." "You should have kept him on a tighter leash." "I'll have to remember that for next time." "He's not the only wolf in town." "So what happened to aimee?" "I don't know." "She disappeared." "She's probably drunk somewhere." "Like me." "Whoa, don't do that." "What, man?" "It's a party." "Right, dad?" "You know, it looks like your dad..." "Wants a drink." "Hey." "That's not cool." "What is wrong with you?" "The guy was a dick." "Come on, you're being mean." "His dad's dead." "Gimme the picture." "Whoa!" "Remember how your dad used to slap you around?" "Are you kidding?" "Just having fun." "Put the picture down, man." "You need to calm your drunk ass down right now!" "Do something about it." "I'm not going to fight you." "What is going on?" "!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "I can't." "Let me go." "I have to finish." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "!" "[indistinct]" "Matt?" "Matt?" "How did you..." "Matt failed." "If matt fails, I can't." "Tyler, look out!" "Oh, my God." "Sarah." "Sarah, open your eyes." "Wake up." "This can't happen." "This can't happen." "This can't be happening." "Sarah!" "Sarah, get up!" "Sarah!" "Open your eyes!" "Oh, God." "This can't be happening." "Aah!" "Tyler!" "Tyler?" "Tyler, what's happening?" "Get away!" "What's happening?" "!" "Damn it." "Where's that witch?" "We could play charades?" "You bargained the moonstone." "What are you mumbling about over there?" "When you struck a deal with george lockwood" "To help you fake your death, you told me" "That you gave george something that he needed." "It was the moonstone, wasn't it?" "Good for you, Stefan, 2+2..." "And it would have worked, except that people found out I wasn't in the tomb." "Thanks to you." "By the way, have I mentioned how inconvenient" "Your obsession with me has been?" "You and me both, honey." "Why do you need it back?" "I love you in a suit." "So dashing." "And what were you doing with it in the first place?" "You're wasting your breath, Stefan." "Unless, it wasn't yours to begin with." "In 1864, you faked your death." "Who were you running from, Katherine?" "In 1987, you were in chicago, at a concert of all places." "With that wench lexi." "Come on, Stefan." "Don't look so surprised." "Of course, I checked in on you over the years." "You were standing in the front row dancing all night." "You were watching bon jovi, and I was watching you." "Who were you running from?" "[mouthing]" "[party music playing]" "You looking for me?" "Who are you?" "Lucy." "What are you doing here?" "I should have known I'd run into a bennett." "How do you know me?" "[sigh] you figure it out." "Look, I have no interest in fighting you." "Then stop the spell you put on my friend." "Give Katherine the moonstone, and I will." "Why are you helping Katherine?" "Don't you know what she is?" "Tell your friends to hand over the moonstone" "And all will be groovy." "You're not leaving this room until you stop the spell." "I don't wanna hurt you." "I don't wanna hurt you." "Look, I don't have a choice." "The bitch saved my life, and now I owe her." "I have to pay up." "You have the moonstone." "I can sense it on you." "You feel that?" "You can trust me." "Give it to me." "It's ok." "[sigh] we're missing the party." "I'll have one of those." "[in a subservient voice] right away, miss Katherine." "Thank you." "No!" "Damon, don't." "Yes, Damon, please." "The second the spell is lifted," "I'm gonna drive this stake right through your heart." "God, you're hot." "When did you get so hot?" "Katherine..." "The spell in this room has been broken." "You're free to leave." "Thank God." "When I hand this over," "My debt to you is over." "Done." "I owe you nothing." "I said "done." give it." "I wouldn't do that." "You should have told me another witch involved." "She's a bennett witch, Katherine." "But I'm sure you knew that." "Wait, Elena..." "Elena's fine." "The spell is broken." "She'll heal quickly." "Bonnie's with her." "[gasping]" "I apologize for my involvement." "Matt and I were fighting." "We broke up, you know." "And sarah was drunk and dancing." "And she...she just tripped." "And then she wasn't breathing." "Ok." "Your mom's on her way." "And we called sarah's parents." "It was an accident." "It was a terrible, tragic accident." "Mom." "The sheriff's here." "I' go prepare her." "Just don't leave." "Just stay here, ok?" "She's going to want to hear this story from you." "Matt's in the car, sleeping it off." "I'll deal with him." "I don't want him involved in any of this." "What are you doing?" "I'm fixing a very bad situation." "Why?" "I did this." "I killed her." "No, you didn't mean to." "And I think it's best for everyone..." "But she's dead." "You don't know what that means." "Actually, tyler, I think I do." "[scoffs]" "No, you don't, caroline." "Has your wound healed?" "How did you..." "Please, wait." "Hey, I'm sorry about that spell." "Damn vampires." "They pull you into the middle of it every time." "How do I know you?" "When I gave you the stone," "How did I know I could trust you?" "That feeling you got." "You ever felt it before?" "I mean, around family." "My grams." "My mother is johanna, first cousin," "Twice removed from pauline," "Niece of sheila aka..." "Grams?" "We're related?" "Yeah, we kinda are." "It's nice to meet you, bonnie." "Seeing you tonight was a wake up call for me." "I gotta stop letting vampires control me." "So thank you for that." "Please, don't leave." "I have so many questions." "I don't wanna be in the middle either." "I hate it." "How do I stay out of it?" "Unlike me, you're one of the good ones, bonnie." "The middle of it is exactly where you need to be." "Take care, cos." "Don't worry, you'll see me again." "Yeah." "I was gonna head home." "Can I offer you a ride?" "Are you ok?" "When did you get your driver's license?" "I'm not a kid anymore, bonnie." "I'd love a ride home." "Elena." "I'm ok." "I'm ok." "Bonnie took away the pain," "And I think I'm healing." "I know." "But I think you should definitely see a doctor anyway." "I will." "I heard about Katherine." "Is it true?" "Is she really gone?" "Yep." "I was so worried about you." "Stefan..." "I..." "Katherine being gone doesn't change anything for you, does it?" "I want to be with you, Stefan, you know that." "But first I need to wake up" "And know that the people that I love are safe." "I need to feel safe." "Do you understand?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I..." "I understand." "Hello, Katherine." "Where am I?" "Where you should have been all along." "I thought you would have learned your lesson by now" "About messing with a bennett witch." "You should have killed me." "Death would have been too kind." "No!" "Damon, don't." "Damon, don't." "You need me." "Elena's in danger." "From who?" "You're lying." "You're always lying." "Why do you think I haven't killed her?" "She's the doppelganger." "She needs to be protected." "Then I'll protect her." "While you rot in hell." "No." "Damon, don't." "I'll do anything." "Please, Damon." "You need me." "Damon!" "You need me!" "You need me!" "Yeah, jeremy, I've got my car." "Tell bonnie that whatever she did," "I'm starting to feel better." "Yeah." "You can drive her home." "I'm just going to go straight to bed." "Ok." "No!"

"(clacking)" "Terrence, what the hell are you doing?" "I told you aluminum is a waste." "Look how big this is." "That's barely 15 bucks worth of metal." "If you want to make money scrapping, stick with stainless steel, copper or brass." "You know what those are, don't you?" "Screw you." "Keep it down!" "Last thing we need are cops." "Hey, I think I found something in this pile of crap." "I'm telling you, the good stuff is buried in the walls-- the copper wiring, the plumbing." "This might not be a wall, but it's definitely buried." "Dude, it's shining." "It might be gold." "I got more gold in my teeth." "It's a bracelet, but it's stuck." "(tearing, groaning)" "(gasps)" "It's definitely gold." "(laughs)" "Smells a little funky from the arm, though." "BRENNAN:" "No." "I've already made my decision." "Absolutely not." "I refuse to pander to the lowest common denominator, particularly one which relies solely on minimal imbecilic thought." "But thank you so much for your call." "Telemarketer?" "No." "My publisher." "She wants me to start a Twitter account to help promote my book sales." "Can you believe it?" "Actually, you know what?" "Yes, I can." "You got a lot of fans." "It's a good way to, uh, you know, connect with them." "I do connect through my books." "Yeah, but that take years for you to write them." "I mean, this gives fans a chance to connect with you till the next one comes out." "Well, how do I say anything of substance in 140 characters or less?" "Well, I don't think tweets are meant to be profound or anything like that, except if they're Flyers updates." "(phone ringing)" "That's life or death." "Booth." "Oh, wow." "Okay." "There was a body found in a bookstore in Southeast D.C." "Bookstores, unlike Twitter, are the hubs of true, complex critical thought." "It's abandoned." "(sighs)" "Well, that doesn't help my argument." "Sorry." "(siren wailing)" "(indistinct radio transmission)" "Buried in a pile of books from the self-help section." "Ooh." "Definitely not the way I'd want to go out." "I find this quite tragic." "Well, death is a tragedy." "No, I'm not talking about the victim." "I'm referring to the fact that this is what's left of a bookstore." "Oh, I know." "I used to spend hours in places like this, thumbing through page after page, looking for the perfect read." "HODGINS:" "And that fresh new book smell." "Oh, man, an e-book just does not have it." "Yeah, 'cause who doesn't like huffing a good book." "BOOTH:" "Ah, I suppose you all want to go back to riding a horse to work." "Okay, let's move it on here." "So, what do we have?" "Ripped fingernails suggest there was likely a struggle." "The oval shape of the pelvic inlet indicates the victim was a female." "Sexual assault?" "SAROYAN:" "Impossible to tell till we get back to the lab." "Based on the cranial suturing, the victim appears to have been in her early 20s." "The projection of the nasal bones suggests Caucasian." "Okay, everyone take a step back." "Why?" "What did you find there?" "BOOTH:" "Uh, uh, yeah." "Bug Boy-- he rarely warns us, so, I would, you know, listen to what he's saying." "It's frightening, yes, but also, a little bit awesome." "BRENNAN:" "Are you gonna tell us any information, Dr. Hodgins, or merely adjectives?" "Oh, this webbing is from a Loxosceles reclusa, otherwise known as a brown recluse spider." "BRENNAN:" "Oh." "Right." "Yeah, I'm not a big fan of spiders, so, why don't we just, you know, wrap that up there so we can get out of here?" "Awesome part is, based on the eggs and the webbing, the victim died about seven days ago." "And the frightening part?" "BRENNAN:" "Well, they can be quite deadly." "I've seen a brown recluse bite which caused necrosis down to the bone." "BOOTH:" "Who cares about that?" "Just put the spider in the container, seal it up so we don't get neocro, whatever, all over us." "Necrosis, and it wouldn't be on us, it would be in us because, it's..." "AUBREY:" "Yeah, I'm with Agent Booth on this one." "Should we get a, uh, bug bomb or whatever?" "No." "No." "The spider is evidence." "Okay, there he is." "Okay, got it." "I got it." "Oh!" "Oh, my." "Think that's the only one." "Just, uh, pack up the victim and head back to the lab." "The techs can sweep for anything else." "BRENNAN:" "Oh, my God." "Whoa, whoa." "What?" "You get bit?" "No, it's my book." "It was in the clearance section." "♪ Bones 10x12 ♪ The Teacher in the Books Original Air Date on April 2, 2015" "== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man" "♪ ♪" "WARREN:" "Until the bones are clean, it's going to be impossible to separate all the peri and postmortem damage." "Don't think the flesh is going to help your facial reconstruction." "So far, all I've got are six freckles and a mole." "MONTENEGRO:" "Ooh." "That's very useful, actually." "I created this new algorithm that maps the location of moles and freckles and other distinctive facial markers, and cross-references them with the Missing Persons Database." "Oh." "Like constellation mapping, but of the face." "That's awesome." "Yeah." "If this mole can be our Polaris, then, we should be able to navigate our way to an ID." "(rapid beeping)" "(phone chimes) Oh." "Ms. Warren, I warned you." "On the platform, our cell phones are turned off." "Whoa!" "Supposition much?" "I'm innocent." "BRENNAN:" "That was my phone." "Actually, I just sent out my first tweet." "Oh, uh, sorry." "You're on Twitter?" "That doesn't seem like you." "BRENNAN:" "Booth and my publisher both felt that it would help nurture my fan base, and I hope to gain anthropological insight into online sociological behavior and how it's destroying interpersonal relationships." "Well, I'm totally gonna follow you." "Uh... (laughs)" "Sweetie, was your first tweet a link to an article about "Victim Identification and the Challenge of Morphoscopic Traits"?" "It was." "WARREN:" "Uh, Dr. Brennan, you have to be pithy." "A 200-page article-- not pithy, no pith in that." "SAROYAN:" "This is fun, but we have a murder to solve that requires more than 140 characters." "(computer beeps) MONTENEGRO:" "Ooh, great." "I have an ID." "The victim is Mia Ferrara, age 22, reported missing by her boyfriend last Sunday." "MAN:" "I got that bracelet to celebrate Mia getting into the United Teaching Fellows." "College graduates who teach in underperforming school districts." "Sort of the, uh, Peace Corps of my generation." "So Mia spent a lot of time in rough neighborhoods?" "She didn't care." "She just saw it as a chance to help the kids." "Uh, we have evidence suggesting that Mia died a week ago." "Do you remember seeing her last Friday?" "For breakfast, but, uh, and I had to go on a coffeehouse tour in Virginia for the weekend." "Yeah." "(sniffles) I'm a musician." "Oh." "Musician." "Right." "You never tried to call her over the weekend?" "Sure, but she didn't answer." "Sometimes she got mad when I went on tour." "And when I came home, and realized she hadn't been in the apartment all weekend... (sniffles) ...that's when I called the police." "Pretty nice digs for a teacher and a musician." "Mia has a trust fund." "BOOTH:" "Oh." "Looks like you'll be moving now." "This is gonna sound weird now, but... she put the place in both our names." "AUBREY:" "Yeah." "That does sound a little weird." "Look, whatever you need, just ask." "I want to find out who did this to Mia more than you do." "Caroline, what's up?" "I was just leaving." "I caught wind of this teacher case, Cher." "I need you to be extra careful with this one." "Come on." "I'm always careful." "It's not like you to question that." "I'm sorry, Cher, but I just happen to be on the board of the United Teaching Fellows." "These people-- they do God's work for inner-city communities." "If word gets out that it's too dangerous, the whole program could suffer." "No, the kids that it could help-- well, that just makes me mad, all right?" "I'm not gonna let one psycho ruin all that." "See, this is why I get all tingly when I see you, Seeley Booth." "I spoke with the principal of the school to make sure they knew you were coming." "This is her name and the name of the other UTF teacher the victim worked with." "All right, thanks." "I grew up with nothing, Cher." "No one should have to fight like I did just to get a decent education." "All right." "Look how you turned out, huh?" "Don't worry about it." "I got all this." "I trust you." "Don't worry." "BOOTH:" "I already had two reporters calling with questions about how dangerous the school is." "Sometimes I think they love scaring the crap out of people." "Good news is, I'm not seeing anything about it online yet." "But I did start following Dr. B on Twitter." "Hey, that's good, huh?" "Tell your friends." "You have friends, right?" "That's funny." "(laughs)" "So I heard that the, uh, Andy Lister character in her books-- he's, uh... he's based on you." "That is right, you heard correct, my friend." "So, why didn't he have sex with Dr. Reichs until the third novel?" "I mean, you know, what kind of real man waits that long?" "What are you talking about, huh?" "Look, their situation was complicated." "Sometimes relationships take a while to develop." "James Bond wouldn't have waited till the third book." "That's all I'm saying." "People are already tweeting about it." "Yeah, but in book three, you got to admit, it's, uh, pretty impressive." "(clicks his tongue) You should tweet that." "I guess." "I just read the books for the gore mostly." "Then why'd you bring it up?" "Way to pass the time." "Mm, okay, keep tweeting there." "(indistinct conversations)" "AUBREY:" "The latest data shows that the U.S. is 14th in public education." "But we beat Slovakia, so that's something." "Now there's something you don't see every day." "Guys, come on." "(chatter and laughter)" "Come on, put the car down." "Look, please." "I'm not kidding around." "I don't want to get anybody in trouble if I don't have to." "Yeah." "Go!" "Go!" "What you got?" "MAN:" "Oh, hey." "You must be the gentlemen from the FBI." "FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth." "This here's Agent Aubrey." "Shane Gentry." "I was told you guys would be coming." "Welcome to South Grant High School." "Great." "Thank you." "Do you want us to help you out with that?" "Oh, no." "No." "They usually leave it on the front lawn." "I like to think this is how we bond." "A handful of the kids are actually in my ninth grade class." "Right, 'cause what better way to bond than by encouraging illegal activity?" "Oh, better pranks than gangs." "AUBREY:" "I'd believe you if we weren't here about Mia Ferrara's murder." "Don't assume these kids are killers just because they're poor." "It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy." "Right." "So, did they mess with her, too?" "Mia?" "No." "No one messed with Mia." "You show us where she taught?" "Yeah." "Agent Booth, Agent Aubrey, this is our principal, Anne Franklin." "I spoke to Caroline on the phone." "She's a friend." "This is just horrible." "We're all devastated." "We need to know if Mia had any trouble with anybody here at the school." "And not just parents." "Faculty, students." "No." "And if she had, I'd make sure it never happened again." "Was anyone fired to make room for her?" "SHANE:" "No." "UTF teachers don't take away any faculty positions." "We're supplemental." "And the other faculty members are overworked and underpaid, so people like Mia and Shane are a godsend." "Since they've come, test scores have been up across the board." "Mia was up 23%, Shane over 40." "AUBREY:" "Do either of you remember seeing Mia" "Friday afternoon around 4:00?" "FRANKLIN:" "It was a district testing day for our ninth graders." "I had to oversee it all." "SHANE:" "And I didn't see her." "I was collating the exams my class took." "(chuckles) Cigarettes, gum." "FRANKLIN:" "I'm sure she confiscated those from students." "Who's "M.M."?" "Probably Marcellus Miller." "He's in her class." "One of her stars." "Nobody thought that he had it in him except for Mia." "He was an example to her class." ""187, bitch."" "That's police code for homicide." "Wouldn't want that example." "So, Keith, uh, let me get this straight." "You are Marcellus's legal guardian, correct?" "Yeah, that's right." "So don't try no tricks." "My brother's a good kid, you hear?" "Marcellus, my name is Caroline Julian." "I'm with the Justice Department." "We need to ask you some questions about your teacher, Mia Ferrara." "She's dead, isn't she?" "Yes." "KEITH:" "Wait, wait." "I see where y'all going with this." "Why y'all after Cellus?" "Why?" "Because, uh, no other kid wrote death threats to their teacher." "MARCELLUS:" "That was just a joke, all right?" "But not to her, to some other guy in class." "Me and Miss Ferrara, we were cool." "Right, and you weren't causing any trouble in her class?" "At first, yeah." "That's... that's because I got frustrated." "You know, I felt dumb." "And my brother ain't dumb." "Like I told her in that little conference thing, ain't no bitch gonna make..." "You don't use language like that in here, you understand me?" "MARCELLUS:" "He's just trying to look out for me." "Listen, just been us for three years now." "He doesn't mean anything by it." "Right." "So it must've made you angry if your teacher made you feel stupid." "She was just trying to help me." "She tutored me if I asked." "She said that if I kept improving, she'd help me get into college." "I ain't never had no teacher like that, man." "And ain't no teacher at that school ever helped me get into college." "BOOTH:" "Maybe because when you went to that school, you used to bring weapons." "CAROLINE:" "The school make you do that?" "Are you gonna blame every screw up on other people, Keith?" "Cellus, go on." "Tell them what they need so we can get out of here." "So where were you last Friday after school?" "I went to see Miss Ferrara." "To get some extra help." "She said no, and that's the first time that happened, so I just went home." "And that was the last time you saw her?" "Yeah." "Then she told me that she'd make it up to me." "She'd give me some extra time on Monday." "She was the only teacher who ever thought that I could do better." "Yeah." "So the victim's shoes and clothes have polyethylene and polystyrene particulates on them." "Styrene?" "Like Styrofoam?" "Yes, Styrofoam and plastic." "Now, I also found traces of the following:" "potassium bromate, sodium nitrate, benzoic acid, methocyclopropene-- basically all the compounds that preserve that delicious cafeteria food." "So at some point she was stuffed in, what, a garbage can?" "Well, it seems like it." "Now, check this out." "I was also able to pull some flesh from the inside of her shoe." "Oh, the purplish-red color suggests there was lividity in her ankles." "So her blood had pooled in her feet?" "Yeah, during hypostasis." "Which means that after the victim was killed, she was kept in a standing position for about four to eight hours." "My guess is she was stored in a semi-public place." "Why public?" "Well, I ran an analysis of the substance she was doused in." "So it was ethanol, isopropol, chloro-obenzylphenol, potassium hydroxide cocktail." "Disinfectant." "Yep." "So the killer was trying to mask the smell of the body." "So the body must've been near a semi-public place." "And in something tall enough to keep it standing upright." "Why couldn't all these tests just give us the name and address of the killer?" "Yeah." "Criminal records of everyone in or tied to the school-- students, teachers, parents, staff..." "Yeah, no, we already have them." "You really don't trust us to get this one done, do you?" "Just trying to help, Cher." "Marcellus said the victim seemed to be mad about something." "Well, I checked her credit card records, bus pass, phone." "Nothing was used after 4:00 that afternoon." "I don't think she ever left the campus." "So she was killed at the school." "Just what I was praying to avoid." "You know, just because one person there is guilty doesn't mean that they'll think everyone is." "You really believe in that, don't you?" "Sweet." "Stupid, but sweet." "So Aubrey is checking out the other kids and the employees at the school." "I mean, even the kids, you know, with juvie records have alibis." "Except for Keith and Marcellus." "Except for Keith and Marcellus." "It must be very difficult for them taking care of themselves." "Keith's only 19; his frontal lobe isn't fully developed, so his judgment isn't yet reliable." "Unfortunately, that's not a defense." "You know, I don't get it." "You know, when I went to school, it was a safe place." "Safe." "Some sociologists say it's income inequality, some say it's the welfare state, some blame the decline of the family, lower standards." "I didn't really want an answer." "Oh, that's fortunate, because I don't think there really is one." "Right. (phone chimes) Mm." "Oh, I am proud to say I'm now up to ten Twitter followers." "Ten followers-- that is really bad." "It's probably just the squints that are following you." "You know, you need hundreds, thousands of followers." "Well, I'm twittering fascinating articles" "I think people would like." "Oh, right, yeah." "Fascinating." "You know, I looked up your Twitter account;" "you were posting articles on bone disease in cavemen." "Miocene hominids, not cavemen." "Sorry." "Well, now that's exciting." "You know what, you should ask that new squint girl in your lab." "She looks like the tweety type." "I'm fine." "No." "You want to be the best, right?" "How can you be the best with ten followers?" "You should ask her." "(phone ringing)" "What, you got another caveman following you?" "There are avulsion fractures to the right and left humeral heads." "Okay, is there something in that that I can use?" "Not yet, but I should get back to the lab." "Sure." "A quick lunch together is better than none, right?" "Ten is pretty pathetic." "It's better than nothing." "The greenstick and hairline postmortem fractures to the ribs and scapula appear to show that the victim was confined to a very small space." "And based on Cam's assessment of lividity, she was confined in a vertical position." "So there must be other corresponding injuries." "Ms. Warren, I only have ten Twitter followers." "Which is dismaying." "Yeah, I can imagine." "I'm used to dominating any field I'm in, so I need your help." "Hmm." "So now I'm the mentor." "Okay." "First off, please stop labeling your tweets" ""tweet 1," "tweet 2," "tweet 3."" "Well, it's an organizational strategy." "Also no polysyllabic words." "Keep it casual." "I can't change the title of scholarly articles." "Yeah, the articles." "I can't even start with that." "Um, you want to connect with people on a personal level." "Here, take out your phone." "Oh." "All right." "Well, you can't take a photo of evidence;" "it compromises an ongoing investigation." "I'm not, I'm not." "Look happy to be you." "(camera clicks)" "BRENNAN:" "Although our facial expressions are a bit peculiar," "I have to admit it's amusing." "The art of the selfie." "Okay. "Solving crimes and taking names." "#WhatDidYouDoToday."" "Did you just post that to my account?" "Yep, and I retweeted you." "Prepare to become a Twitter sensation." "All right." "So I don't know if these are related, but I also noticed these postmortem moustache-shaped fracture lines on the parietal." "I know what it is." "It's a standard two-pronged hook inside of a high school locker." "The victim's head was shoved against it." "Wait, how did you know that?" "Because in high school," "I was shoved in a locker multiple times." "This also explains the victim's shoulder injuries." "Before I tell Booth about this, do you really think your strategy of photographing ourselves..." "Taking a selfie." "And yes, I do." "Check your phone." "Ah, I have 98 followers!" "(phone chimes) Now it's up to 103!" "Too bad it would jeopardize the case, or I'd selfie with the skull." "It is a noun, Dr. Brennan, not a verb." "Right." "I'll tell Booth about the locker." "(phone chimes) Oh!" "105!" "(laughs)" "Seek." "Seek." "I took a selfie with a skeleton in my office." "I put its arm around me." ""#WhimsicallyAmusing."" "(laughs) Right." "You're gonna have to work on those hashtags." "Oh." "This is a terrible loss." "Good teachers are rare." "FRANKLIN:" "Mia meant a lot to her students." "We're gonna find out what happened to her." "OFFICER:" "Good boy, good boy!" "(dog barking)" "You smell something?" "We got a hit here." "Looks like we got a hit." "You smell something?" "Can you open up this locker?" "(dog barking)" "OFFICER:" "All right, come on, come on." "This locker is currently... unassigned." "There's blood smears all over the inside." "Size of the locker corresponds with her postmortem injuries." "She was placed in here until the killer was able to move her." "FRANKLIN:" "This hallway was closed because the floors were going to be waxed later that night." "(barking) Whoa, what's going on over here?" "Whoa!" "Stay back!" "Right there." "FBI, okay?" "You're not going anywhere." "Me and my deputy dog here have a few questions for you." "(dog barking)" "All right." "Let's take a look at your record here, shall we?" "First of all, we know that you lied about your name when you applied for a job at the school." "You are Steven Brady, not Paul Garnett." "Then there's the possession charge, possession with intent, assault, assaulting an officer-- that's never a favorite around here." "Fine." "I admit it." "But it ain't easy getting a job." "I figured I'm living a good life now;" "who needs to know my past?" "Good life?" "Man's best friend smelled eau de dead body on you, and you started to run." "I was worried the dog was gonna smell drugs on me." "Well, that's a great excuse, but you weren't carrying, Paul." "On my hands, my clothes." "Miss Ferrara and me, we'd catch kids doing drugs in the parking lot." "But rather than report 'em, she'd make 'em do chores and stuff, you know, give 'em another chance so they didn't get a record." "I wish someone had done that for me." "Okay." "But how do you explain the blood that we found on your custodial cart?" "What are you talking about?" "Mia was moved from the locker using your cart." "We have evidence on the body and in the cart." "Anybody could've taken my cart." "It's not like it's locked up." "Look," "Miss Ferrara gave this to me." "For my birthday." "She said I helped her understand the kids." "Now, why would I hurt someone like that, someone who believed in me?" "Ms. Warren, do you have any updates?" "Yes." "You are up to 1,023 followers." "Oh." "(chuckles)" "With your status as a public figure and my Twitter expertise," "I think you could build an online empire." "Well, I was actually referring to updates on the case." "But I find your Twitter news #StrangelyExhilarating." "Nice one." "I also found subtle fracturing to the sixth cervical vertebra." "I agree." "Interesting that the injury is specific to the laminas." "The connection between the body and the spinous process." "Yes." "Do you see how both the anterior and posterior sections of the laminas display breaks?" "So a strong force compressed the sides of the neural arch?" "Well, I would say that it was strangulation, but the hyoid is still intact." "When the victim is strangled putting pressure on the lower cervical vertebrae, the hyoid usually does not fracture." "Awesome." "So we finally have cause of death." "Celebratory selfie?" "Okay." "#YouCanRunButYouCannotHide." "Oh, for the love of God, not you, too." "What did I do?" "And don't sneak up on me." "Why are you tweeting and not working my case?" "I am working our case." "And I know that the victim had a Twitter account." "And?" "She didn't tweet that much." "Now I like her even more." "Most of the people she followed were her students." "She used social media as a way to keep up with them." "Because she wasn't a dinosaur." "It turns out Marcellus was right about how upset she was the afternoon she died." "This was her last tweet." ""Sucks to be so wrong about someone. #Heartbroken."" "Think she was talking about one of her students?" "No idea." "Angela's going through Mia's computer now." "Maybe she'll find something that will tell us who Mia was talking about." "#YouOweMeAnApology." "In your dreams," "Hashtag." "SAROYAN:" "So what did you find on the victim's computer?" "Well, 90% of what was on her home computer was dedicated to her schoolwork, mostly tracking her students' progress." "She used these spreadsheets and metrics." "Wow, she was truly dedicated." "Yeah, she was almost obsessed." "And after looking at these e-mails, it was clear that she was losing touch with old friends and even cancelling plans with her boyfriend." "Well, being a good teacher can really take up a lot of time." "Their day doesn't end when school lets out." "Another interesting thing though, her browser history was cleared at almost the same time every day." "Was she trying to hide something?" "No, not her." "It was happening when she was at work." "It was her boyfriend, and he was covering his tracks." "I used this forensic cloning program to retrieve the browser history." "He was cheating on her." "Yeah." "With multiple women." "And what's worse is I found an e-mail to Hunter's account saying that his coffeehouse tour was canceled." "So, he was in town when she was killed." "Yep." "BOOTH:" "You lied to us, Hunter." "Your little coffeehouse tour was canceled." "I can explain." "You were also spotted at the school the day Mia was killed." "Yeah, but I didn't kill her." "I was trying to find her." "Not too hard, 'cause you didn't report her missing for two days." "Look, I know this looks bad, but I thought she was avoiding me because she was pissed." "Pissed because of this." "Your DC Hook Up profile." "There is no way you're six-one, by the way." "You didn't want Mia messing with your, uh, social life." "I didn't kill her." "You know what I think happened?" "I think you went to the school, and Mia confronted you about the philandering you've been doing." "Philandering?" "It's a word." "You two started to fight..." "I swear I didn't." "BOOTH:" "Things got out of control, you snapped, and you strangled her." "Look, I couldn't have." "I was with another girl at a bar." "Mm-hmm." "Right." "When Mia ditched me and my gig got canceled," "I needed a hookup." "Can anybody from the bar verify your story?" "Yeah." "The girl." "I got her number." "Ask her." "WOMAN (recorded):" "You have reached the Get Lost Hotline." "Unfortunately, the person (chuckles) who gave you this number didn't want to hear from you ever again." "We know this sucks." "(chuckles)" "Wait..." "That is not a good alibi, Hunter." "Have you found anything pertinent to the case?" "I found a remodeled incision wound to the proximal phalanges two through five on the right hand." "This happened because of a deep laceration across the fingers." "Slight remodeling indicates this occurred about five weeks ago." "I agree." "So..." "I was thinking that whoever stabbed Mia back then came back to finish the job." "Uh, whoa." "Um, aren't you destroying the evidence by scraping off the remodeling?" "Not in this case." "The woven aspects have not yet hardened into cortical bone." "By removing the new growth, we should be able to get a mold of the initial wound." "Wow." "How cool is that?" "Very." "Have Dr. Hodgins swab, then make a Mikrosil of the injury so we can determine what blade was used." "You got it." "And please use the Twitter to tell my followers about the incomplete remodeling I removed." "They'll be fascinated." "(chuckles)" "Yes." "(chuckles)" "Hey, Caroline." "So according to Mia's medical report, she got 28 stitches on four fingers about a month ago." "Did she happen to tell the doctor the name of the sick soul who stabbed her?" "She said that she cut it on a piece of glass, but Bones says it definitely was a knife wound." "You think the boyfriend took a blade to her?" "Well, look at this." "Look where the clinic was where she got stitched up." "The same neighborhood where Keith and Marcellus live." "Keith has an assault charge for using a knife." "I was sort of hoping it was the boyfriend." "(sighs) You know, that neighborhood has been through enough for us to jump to conclusions." "We're just going with our leads." "That's all we can do." "You're a good man, Seeley Booth." "You sure you don't want to dump that beautiful doctor you've got and run away with me?" "Tell you what, just give me a day to think about it, huh?" "I'm gonna have to bring Keith in." "I understand." "WARREN:" "Based on the injury profile on the victim's fingers, you should be able to reconstruct what the knife in question looked like." "Well, let's not endow me with superpowers." "The puncture wound to the fifth phalange marks the end of the blade." "And the laceration stops halfway through the bone on the index finger." "A distance of 6.35 centimeters." "Kerf marks show that the blade was serrated." "Right." "Adding that now." "Also, from the Mikrosil, we know the width of the blade was four millimeters thick." "No." "From the striae, it appears that the killer twisted the blade, so it makes it seem like it's wider than it actually is." "Mm." "Talk about sadistic." "Maybe." "But an injury like this could happen if the victim tried to grab hold of the blade." "Wow." "You really know your sharp force trauma." "I got to tweet about this for Dr. B. Oh, uh... (chuckles) Listen, you're getting Brennan crazy." "She's more competitive than other people, so she's just gonna want to have more Twitter followers than everyone else." "What's wrong with that?" "It's a waste of her time, it's a distraction, and it's contributing to the end of our civilization." "Twitter is a fact of life, Angela." "Yes, and life is better when Brennan tweets about the most promiscuous tribe in Timbuktu." "Who else would do that?" "Did I just get slapped down?" "Well, I use mind control." "I don't believe in violence." "Should we finish with this knife?" "So, Hodgins found trace of a synthetic lubricant in the wound." "Lubricants are used on switchblades and other folding knives." "Right." "Okay." "So if we change the handle to a folding knife... we have our weapon." "BOOTH:" "So, we tested your knife, Keith." "We found blood in the liner." "Okay, I cut myself." "So what?" "CAROLINE:" "It's not your blood type." "It's B positive, like Mia Ferrara's." "Yeah, okay." "Whatever." "It's hers, but it's not what you think." "You know what I think?" "I think Mia came around to tutor Marcellus, right?" "You didn't want her there, so you pulled out the knife..." "No." "No, look, check my rap sheet." "Look, I haven't been arrested in three years." "And I've been good" " I mean real good-- since me and Marcellus has been on our own." "But this is your knife, isn't it?" "Look, yeah." "But it's not what you think." "I didn't cut her." "You're saying your brother did?" "Cellus?" "No way." "Look, that crazy bi..." "That crazy lady cut herself." "She grabbed the knife off the table and sliced herself." "You think any jury in the world would believe that, fool?" "It's the truth." "Look, she started coming around, like, a month ago because Cellus had missed a couple of days of school." "Look, I work all day, so that was the first time I heard of it." "He started skipping school because he wanted to earn, too." "Hated that I had to do everything." "But like I told him, that's what big brothers do." "And I wasn't gonna be like our father." "You didn't know he had a job?" "No." "Look, when Miss Ferrara came, when she showed up, that's when he came clean." "But then that's when she thought" "I forced him to skip school." "That's when she grabbed the knife off the table by the blade, and she was bleeding all over the place," "I mean, saying that-that Marcellus was smart and if I... if I didn't let him go back to school that she was gonna tell everybody that I attacked her." "So I'm sorry, but she was a crazy bitch." "So she cut herself to force you to keep Marcellus in school?" "That's it." "Look, look, look, look." "I guess it worked." "'Cause Cellus hasn't missed a day after that." "Let's say we believe you for a second." "Where were you the day that Mia died?" "(sighs)" "Look, I can't tell you that." "Look..." "But, look, as-as God is my witness," "I didn't hurt that woman." "You have got to tell the other guy" " Agent Booth-- my brother didn't do anything, man, I swear." "Well, we want to believe him, but he's hiding something," "Marcellus." "It's not what you think, all right?" "Keith knew what Miss Ferrara was doing for me." "And after that night he made sure I had a good breakfast every morning." "Made-made sure my homework was done and everything." "All right, I need more, Marcellus." "You know I need more." "The reason Keith can't tell you..." "He's protecting me." "What did you do?" "Nothing." "It's just that Keith's already got two strikes and the third strike and he goes away for a long time." "And you go into foster care." "Keith promised that he'd never let that happen." "Well, I'm sorry to tell you that it probably will unless you can tell us where Keith was when Miss Ferrara was killed." "He was..." "He was at the grocery store getting some food." "He didn't get paid for a couple of days and I had a test coming up, so he didn't want me to be hungry." "He robbed the place." "Not for, like, cash or anything." "Just took a few things." "Eggs, milk, stuff like that." "He put it under his shirt and he ran." "Keith's gonna be so pissed if he find out that I talked." "Hey." "It's all right, okay?" "We're not gonna press charges against your brother." "You're not?" "No charges were ever filed." "And I'm talking to you without a guardian present, which means this conversation never even happened." "Thank you." "Seems the brother didn't do it." "And the epithelial cells from the locker were a dead end." "They're from the victim." "Any luck in here?" "No luck, but skill and acumen have proven very fruitful." "Even better." "We are focusing on postmortem fractures to the spinous processes of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae and blunt force trauma to the patellas." "The fractures to the patellas are consistent with a hard object striking against the bone." "Question is why kneecap someone who's already dead?" "And you're certain the damage to the knees and spine didn't result from transporting the body?" "These were intentional strikes." "But why damage only the knees and back?" "It's just random." "No, no, it's not random at all." "The knees and the spine are both fulcrums." "Which means?" "Perfect." "This makes perfect sense." "Just once," "I'd like her to tell us the big discovery before she runs out." "BRENNAN:" "Because Cam found livor mortis on the soles of the victim's feet, we know the body was stored in the locker for at least six hours." "Which means by the time the killer moved the body, rigor mortis would've set in." "MONTENEGRO:" "So the body was stiff." "That would make it difficult to move." "Must have been why the killer broke the bones." "To bend the body." "But typically, you only have to bend the spine to fit a body into the trunk of a car." "Well, then why did the killer make minced meat out of the victim's knees?" "Angela, bend the victim's knees 90 degrees." "Okay, now do the same for the spine, pivoting the torso 90 degrees." "Oh, so the body was put in a seated position?" "I've heard of serial killers like Ed Gein posing their victims, making them seem like they're still alive." "Or... the killer seated the victim for practical purposes, because he didn't have a big enough trunk for the body." "Wait, so the killer put the victim in the passenger seat next to him?" "Okay, that's really creepy." "So we're looking for someone with a car that has seats and no trunk?" "Hey," "I found vinyl particulates that came from an eraser." "Not the kind from the end of a pencil-- this is a high-end eraser..." "Useful if you're changing answers." "Wasn't there standardized testing for ninth graders the day that Mia was killed?" "Yes, and according to Booth, the same UTF teacher who administered the test drives a small, Eco-friendly car." "These are the tests your students took the day Mia was murdered." "Answers were erased and changed-- all of them." "Changed in a way that makes you look like an exemplary teacher." "I am a good teacher." "And the students are allowed to go back over their work, so if there are any erasures..." "The marks are from your eraser." "We found your epithelial cells in the particulates from the eraser." "And when you strangled Mia, those shavings from the erasers were transferred onto her." "Mia caught you cheating, didn't she?" "She was dedicated to her students, and all you did was think about yourself." "If she turned you in, she would have ruined your career." "Come on, some bits of eraser are not enough to prove somebody of murder." "Actually, it is." "There's more." "To position Mia's body in your car, you used your steering wheel lock to break her bones and acetone to clean up, but... see, acetone doesn't mask blood." "Lucky for us, he's not a science teacher." "Lucky for us." "You don't understand..." "No, I don't." "I don't understand, and neither will the prosecutor, so if you help us out..." "I had an interview lined up." "At the Department of Education." "Mia knew that." "It was a good position." "So you were falsifying the results to make yourself more attractive." "I didn't want to fight with her." "I tried to get the tests back from her, but she just kept swatting me away." "So you killed her." "I just wanted my tests." "But then she started to scream, and..." "I guess I must've..." "I don't know." "Strangled her to shut her up." "I thought she would understand." "(soft laugh)" "I mean, who really wants to teach in a school like that, right?" "What are the odds that any of them are ever gonna amount to anything?" "CAROLINE:" "You boys both eat up." "I don't want y'all robbing some store because your belly's got a case of the grumbles." "You know what, I appreciate it, Miss Julian." "Cellus, where's your manners?" "Thank you, Miss Julian." "Don't talk with your mouth full." "I heard from the UTF and they won't be able to send any replacements until next year." "Well, Cellus is still gonna study hard, right, Cellus?" "I mean, that crazy lady... won't have died for nothing." "I'm gonna do right by her." "And me, Cher." "Because I'm gonna be your new tutor." "And you do not want to get a "B" on my watch." "Understand?" "(laughs) Yes, Miss Julian." "What are you laughing about?" "You're gonna get your GED." "And if you don't, I'll find some way to put your scrawny behind in jail." "Well, look, I got a job." "Oh, boo hoo." "Poor baby's gonna get tired." "You two aren't gonna make me waste my time, are you?" "No, ma'am." "Okay." "You two want anything else to eat?" "No, ma'am." "Mm-mm." "Oh, of course you do." "Miss?" "Yes?" "Bring these young men some pie." "Oh, certainly." "(laughs softly)" "Thank you." "BOOTH:" "Can't believe they gave Christine homework already." "Well, it's just tracing letters to help develop her small motor skills." "Well, I should be thankful." "It's a good pre-school." "Right?" "Plus... the teachers are alive." "And Christine enjoys the work." "Without challenges, life becomes dull." "Guess that's why living with you is never dull." "You saying" "I'm a challenge?" "Well, you're definitely not easy." "(tablet chimes) Oh, another tweet." "You don't have to announce every time you got one." "I thought Jessica was doing that for you." "No, she felt" "I'd learned enough to take over myself." "My publisher is very pleased." "Look" "I have almost 3,000 followers." "Well, look at you." "You're tweeting about, uh, Caroline's teaching program?" "Yes." "And some people have even donated." "The sociological and anthropological effects of social media can be quite positive." "That's great, Bones." "I even learned to use emoticons." "Emoticons?" "No, no, you're not, uh, emoticon material type of woman." "Apparently I am." "Smiley face, wink, wink." "Okay, smiley face, wink, wink-- it's dinner time." "Let's go." "You cooked?" "Course I cooked." "What do you think I been doing here the whole time?" "I hadn't really noticed." "Why haven't you noticed?" "Because you been stuck in that whole tweety bird kind of thing here." "Come on." "I don't think you deserve this." "Well, it smells good." "Course it's good stuff." "Look at this" " I made the homemade sauce," "I got salad, fresh bread." "Candles." "Pretty romantic, Booth." "Yes, it's amazing what you see when you step out of the virtual world." "What are you doing?" "(camera clicks) No, no, no, no, no, no." "What?" "I think my followers will appreciate this." "Really?" "#BestHusbandEver." "(soft whistle) That's not too bad." "Yeah, that's good." "Okay, you can do that." "How about a picture of me serving you?" "No, I don't think so." "Right." "Wine." "Yes." "Wine, huh?" "Tell you what-- why don't you take a selfie of us drinking the wine and you can put #BottomsUp." "I don't think that's a good idea." "Okay, hashtag... == sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man"

"We want to return with you." "Let us pay for what we've done." "At the stake?" "For what end?" "Justice?" "They've forgotten justice." "They want revenge." "Revenge the most worthless of causes."

"I came to fight for the Round table." "I'm very good with a bow." "And do you intend to kill people with this bow of yours?" "I hope!" "But supposing that they killed you?" "my lord." "But I don't intend to be dead." "I intend to be a knight!" "A knight?" "my lord." "Of the Round table." "And when did you decide upon this extinct profession?" "Was your village once protected by knights?" "Did your father serve a knight?" "Was your mother once saved by a knight?" "my lord!" "I'd never even seen a knight until I stowed away."

"Once upon a time, on the North Shore of Long Island, some 30 miles from New York, there lived a small girl on a large estate." "The estate was very large indeed and had many servants." "There were gardeners to take care of the gardens and a tree surgeon on a retainer." "There was a boatman to put the boats in the water in the spring and scrape their bottoms in the winter." "There were specialists to take care of the grounds, the outdoor tennis court and the indoor tennis court, the outdoor swimming pool and the indoor swimming pool." "And a man of no particular title took care ofa small pool in the garden for a goldfish named George." "Also on the estate there was a chauffeur by the name of Fairchild, who had been imported from England years ago, together with a new Rolls-Royce." "Fairchild was a fine chauffeur of considerable polish," "Like the eight cars in his care." "And he had a daughter by the name of..." "Sabrina." "It was the eve of the annual six-metre-yacht races and, as had been traditional for the past 30 years, the Larrabees were giving a party." "It never rained on the night of the Larrabee party." "The Larrabees wouldn't have stood for it." "There were four Larrabees in all - father, mother and two sons." "Maude and Oliver Larrabee were married in 1906." "Among their many wedding presents was a town house in New York and this estate for weekends." "The town house has since been converted into Saks Fifth Avenue." "Linus Larrabee, the elder son, graduated from Yale, where his classmates voted him the man most likely to leave his alma mater$50 million." "His brother, David, went through several of the best Eastern colleges for short periods of time, and through several marriages for even shorter periods of time." "He is now a successful six-goal polo player and is listed on Linus's tax return as a $600 deduction." "Life was pleasant among the Larrabees, for this was as close to heaven as one could get on Long Island." "Come on down from there, Sabrina!" "Come on." "You'd better finish your packing." "Who's that girl, Father, dancing with David?" "Her name is Gretchen Van Horn." "Chase National Bank." "I hate girls that giggle all the time." "You hate every girl David looks at." "You can't go on like this about David." "You've got to get over it." "Yes, Father." "It's good you're going away." "I only hope it's far enough." "Yes, Father." "Come along, Sabrina." "In a minute, Father." "You go ahead." "I'll be up soon." " Oh, it's you, Sabrina." " Hello, David." "I thought I heard somebody." "No, it's nobody." "Gretchen!" "Yoo-hoo!" "Tennis, anyone?" "Gretchen?" "What is this, mixed singles?" "No!" "You have to stay on your side of the net." "That'll be a little difficult, Gretchen." " You know the rules of the game." " OK, I'll serve." "Sabrina!" "Yes, Father?" " Don't leave your passport tomorrow." " No, Father." "It's not every girl that's lucky enough to go to Paris." "And it's the best cooking school in the world." "If your mother were alive, she'd be happy you were going there." "She was the best cook on Long Island." "I'm not saying you have to be a cook, as she was, or that I want you to marry a chauffeur." "But you know how I feel." "Your mother and I had a good life together." "We were respected by everyone." "That's as much as anyone can want." "Don't reach for the moon, child." "No, Father." "Besides, it never hurt a young girl to learn how to cook, did it?" "I'll wake you at seven." "The boat goes at noon." "Good night." "Good night." "What's going on?" "Fairchild!" "Anybody here?" "Who's that?" "Sabrina, come out of there." "Come on." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" "Just checking the spark plugs." "The what?" "Father was worried because a spark plug was missing." "I wanted to find out which one it was." "So you started the motors and closed the doors?" " I didn't want to disturb anyone." " You might never have done so again." " Does your father know?" " No!" "I wanted to surprise him." "We'd better get out." "There now." "Breathe deep." "That's right." "Now, deep breath." " What happened?" " You passed out." "I'm alright." "You don't have to carry me." "Of all the idiotic things..." "Haven't you ever heard of carbon monoxide?" "It kills people." "It does?" "What would have happened if I hadn't come along?" "I'd have died." "And fast." "Eight cars!" "One would have done it." "Good thing Mrs. Van Horn asked me to drive her home." "Mrs. Van Horn?" "Gretchen's mother?" " Why didn't she drive her home?" " We can't find Gretchen." " She..." " She what?" "Nothing." "The next time you start a car, leave the garage doors open." "Understand?" "A chauffeur's daughter should know better." "Yes, sir." "Bonjour, mes dames et messieurs!" "Yesterday we have learnt the correct way how to boil water." "Today we will learn the correct way how to crack an egg." "Voila, an egg!" "Now an egg is not a stone." "It is not made of wood." "It is a living thing with a heart." "So when we crack it we must not torment it." "We must be merciful and execute it quickly, like with the guillotine." "It is done with one hand." "Kindly watch the wrist." "Voila." "One, two, three, crack!" "You see?" "It is all in the wrist." "And now, everybody, take an egg." "One, two, three, crack!" "New egg." "One, two, three, crack!" "New egg." "One, two, three, crack!" "Take an egg." "Crack!" "The wrist, huh?" "Like a whip." "You watch." "One, two, three, crack!" "New egg." ""Dear Father, or Cher Papa as we say over here."" ""Isn't my French getting good?"" ""We finally finished our four-week course in sauces, thank goodness!"" ""Soups were tough but sauces just about killed me."" ""I almost flunked my hollandaise." "It kept separating on me."" "Too much vinegar." "Does she mention David?" "Mr. Linus is ready to go into town." " What does she say about David?" " Not a word." "No, wait." "Here's something." " "I don't think of David very much."" " That's good." " "Except at night."" " That's bad." ""I decided to be sensible and tore up his picture."" "That's good." " "Please mail me some Scotch tape."" " That's bad." " Morning, Fairchild." " Morning, sir." "Beautiful day, sir." "Take the Parkway." "Two windows open. 35 miles an hour." "Yes, sir." "Morning." "Where are you off to?" " The office, where do you think?" " On Sunday?" " Today is Wednesday." " Wednesday?" "This is KL 75263." "Get me Bowling Green 91099." "Good morning, Miss McCardle." "How did the market open?" "Industrials, 247.63." "Up a dollar, ten." "Rails, 94.7." "Up 58 cents." "Utilities, 47.23." "Off 11 cents." "I'm just leaving." "Put the coffee on in 45 minutes." "Inter-office memo to David Larrabee." "Dear David, you are a junior partner of Larrabee industries, located at 30 Broad Street, New York." "Your office is on the 22nd floor." "Our normal week is Monday to Friday." "Our working day is nine to five." "If this is inconvenient you may retire with your pension." "Having been with us one year, your entitlement is 65 cents a month for the rest of your life." "What do you hear from your daughter?" " She still loves him." " I beg your pardon?" "I mean she loves the cooking school, sir." "But she'll get over it." "And now, mes dames et messieurs, soon we will see how you have learnt the lesson of the souffle." "The souffle, it must be gay." "Gay." "Like two butterflies dancing the waltz in the summer breeze." "Very well." "You have five seconds!" "Four seconds." "Three seconds." "Two seconds." "One second." "To the ovens!" "Too low." "Too pale." "Too heavy." "Too low." "Too high." "You are exaggerating." "Fair." "So-so." "Sloppy." "Mmm!" "Superb!" "My dear Baron, you have not lost your touch." "Much too low." " I don't know what happened." " I will tell you." "You forgot to turn on the oven." "I have been watching you." "Your mind has not been on the cooking." "It has been elsewhere." "You're in love." "And I will venture to go a step further." " You are unhappily in love." " Does it show?" "Very clearly." "A woman happily in love, she burns the souffle." "A woman unhappily in love, she forgets to turn on the oven." " Am I correct?" " Yes." "But I'm trying to get over it." "Why try to get over it?" "You speak of love like it was a bad cough." "He doesn't even know I exist." "I might as well be reaching for the moon." "The moon?" "Oh, you young people are so old-fashioned!" "Have you not heard?" "We are building rockets to reach the moon." "To begin with, you must stop looking like a horse." "Horse?" ""His name is Baron Saint Fontanel."" "Baron!" ""He came here for a refresher course in souffles and liked me so much he decided to stay on for the fish."" " What does she say about David?" " David?" "She's got a baron!" ""The Baron is 74 years old, and very sweet and very wise."" ""He has a box at the opera, a racing stable, wonderful paintings and his own vineyards."" ""Tomorrow night he is taking me to a very fashionable charity ball and I have a dress just for the occasion."" ""If David could only see me in it."" ""Yards of skirt and way off the shoulders."" "Good morning, sir." " Morning." "What's going on?" " A letter from Sabrina." "Wouldn't you like to read it?" "There's something about you." " Poor Sabrina." " What's wrong with him?" "He's getting married again." " He is?" " Number four." "Who says so?" "Cholly Knickerbocker." "Don't you people ever read the society columns?" " Is my brother in?" " Yes, Mr. David, but he's very busy." " I want to see him." " How about 3:30?" " I want to see him now!" " I'm sorry." "I have my orders." "He's working on the plastics deal." "Press that button, or I'll break that door down using you as a battering ram!" " Mr. David!" " Make up your mind!" "Linus, I want to talk to you!" " Ask for an appointment." " Don't give me that!" "I'm mad!" "Alright, gentlemen, I'll be ten minutes." "Now what's the trouble?" "How did this get in the paper?" ""David Larrabee is to marry again."" ""The girl is Elizabeth Tyson of the Oyster Bay Tysons."" " Congratulations." " Did you plant this?" "It's common knowledge about you and Elizabeth Tyson." "Don't you like her?" "I like her a lot." "I like a lot of girls a lot." " You can say that again." " What are you doing with that gun?" "Put that thing away, Linus!" "Look at that." "The greatest plastic ever made." "Not a scratch." "I wonder how this'd stand up against a bazooka." "Miss McCardle, ask General Stanton if we can borrow a bazooka." "Yes, Mr. Larrabee." " To get back to my problem..." " Lend me your lighter." "Linus, I have no intention of marrying Elizabeth Tyson!" "Doesn't burn, doesn't scorch, doesn't melt." "How about that!" "I've been married before." "I've had it three times." "This time the family approves." "You're going to do something constructive." "Taste it." "What's constructive about marrying her?" " Taste it." " It's sweet." "It's made of sugar cane." "Sugar cane." "Wait a minute." "The Tysons own the largest holdings of sugar cane in Puerto Rico!" "Second largest." "The largest have no daughter." "It's all beginning to make sense." "Mr. Tyson owns the sugar cane, you own the formula for the plastics and I'm offered as a sacrifice on the altar of industrial progress!" "You make it sound as if the son of the hot-dog dynasty had to marry the daughter of the mustard king." "Surely you don't object to Elizabeth because her father has $20 million?" "That's very narrow-minded of you." "Just one thing." "I haven't proposed and she hasn't accepted." "Oh, don't worry." "I proposed and Mr. Tyson accepted." " Did you kiss him?" " Elizabeth is a lovely girl." "Sooner or later you'll propose." "I'm helping you make up your mind." " Then you marry her." " Me?" "What's so funny?" "If I got married, I'd have to take a Dictaphone, two secretaries and four corporation counsellors along on the honeymoon." "I'd be unfaithful to my wife every night with vice presidents, boards of directors, slide-rule accountants..." "This... this is my home." "No wife would ever understand it." "Nor me." "You've got all the money in the world." "Making money isn't the main point of business." "Money is a by-product." " What's the main objective?" "Power?" " Ah!" "That's become a dirty word." "What's the urge?" "You're going into plastics." "What will that prove?" "Prove?" "Nothing much." "A new product has been found, something of use to the world." "A new industry moves into an undeveloped area." "Factories go up, machines go in and you're in business." "It's coincidental that people who've never seen a dime now have a dollar and barefooted kids wear shoes and have their faces washed." "What's wrong with an urge that gives people libraries, hospitals, baseball diamonds and movies on a Saturday night?" " Send in the secretaries." " Yes, Mr. Larrabee." "You make me feel like a heel." "If I don't marry her, some kid will run around Puerto Rico barefoot!" "Look at this stuff." "Planes and suits will be made of it and you'll probably be able to eat it." "We're organising Larrabee Plastics." "Larrabee Construction has the plans." "Larrabee Shipping bought nine more freighters to handle the traffic." " The wheels are in motion already?" " That's what I mean." "Would you demonstrate the weight test to Mr. David, please?" " Linus, I believe you." " Up you go." "I want you to see how resilient it is." "Bounce, please, ladies." "Some plastic, eh?" "We'd like a summer wedding to get in on this year's sugar crop." "Yeah." "I think you're going to be very happy." "Dearest Father, we shall be graduating next week and I shall be getting my diploma." "I want to thank you now for the two most wonderful years of my life." "I shall always love you for sending me here." "It is late at night and someone across the way is playing "La Vie En Rose"." "It is the French way of saying," "I am looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses." "It says everything I feel." "I have learnt so many things, Father." "Not just how to make vichyssoise or calf's head with sauce vinaigrette, but a much more important recipe." "I have learn how to live, how to be in the world and of the world..." "and not just to stand aside and watch." "And I will never, never again run away from life, or from love, either." "I am taking the plane home on Friday, Father." "You needn't pick me up at the airport." "I'll just take the Long Island Rail Road and you can meet me at the train - the 4:15." "If you should have any difficulty recognising your daughter," "I shall be the most sophisticated woman at the Glen Cove station." "Taxi, miss?" "Cheapest rates in Glen Cove." "Hello!" "How are you?" "Well, I'm fine." "How are you?" "And I might add, who are you?" " Who am I?" " Am I supposed to know?" "No, you're not supposed to know." " Are you stranded?" " My father was meant to pick me up." "Whoever your father is, I'll be eternally grateful." " That is if I can give you a lift." " You can drive me home." "Good!" "I'll get your bags." " Where do you live?" " Dosoris Lane." "Dosoris Lane?" "Say, that's where I live!" " Really?" " Sure." "We must be neighbours." "And I believe in loving thy neighbour." "Oh, so do I." "Come on, David." " David?" "Is his name David?" " Yes, it is." "That's funny." "My name's David, too." "That is funny, isn't it?" "Sure you don't want to tell me your name?" "Positive." "I'm having much too much fun." "Alright, if you want to play games..." " Have you always lived here?" " Most of my life." "I'd swear I know every pretty girl on the North Shore." "You take in more territory than that." "This is maddening." "I've seen that face before." "Let me see your profile again." "I know I know you." "I have a feeling I've seen you..." "with your father." "Wait!" "Is your father Admiral Starratt?" "Hardly." "Funny." "I keep seeing him in a uniform." "Give us a hint." "What does your father do?" " He's in transportation." " Transportation?" " Railroads." "New York Central." " No." " Planes." "TWA." " No." " Boats." "United States Lines." " No." " I pass." " Automobiles." "Oh?" "Chrysler?" "Yes, Chrysler and Ford and General Motors and Rolls-Royce." "Is he on the board of all those companies?" "You might say he runs things." " I bet my brother Linus knows him." " He certainly does." "They often drive into town together." "They do?" "Straight through to the garage, please." "I feel so stupid I could kill myself." "You'll be alright in a minute." "Here we are." "I'm not just pretending we've met somewhere before." "We have met some..." "You don't live here." "I live here." "Hi, neighbour!" "Sabrina!" "Hello, Margaret!" "It's so good to be home!" "Look at you!" "You've come home such a beautiful lady!" "Oh, welcome home, Sabrina!" "Ernest!" "Jenny!" "How are you?" "Don't cry, Margaret." "It's nothing to cry about." "I bought you a hat, a Paris hat for you to wear to church on Sundays." "Jenny, I have something for you..." "Father!" "I'm sorry." "I had to take Mrs. Larrabee to the hairdresser." "It doesn't matter." "I wouldn't have recognized you anyway." "David had a little trouble, didn't you?" "Yes, I did." "I'll make coffee." "Will you come to the kitchen?" " As soon as I've opened my bags." " I'll take them upstairs." "As old neighbours the two of us should have a reunion." " It's only fair." " Tonight?" " Do you really want to see me?" " Very much." " Sure?" " Yes, I'm sure." " Alright." " We'll go out on the town." "We'll drive to New York, have a quick drink, then go for dinner." "I know a wonderful French restaurant on First Avenue." "I guess you wouldn't think so much of it after Paris." "I'll love it!" "We'll go dancing." "When they throw us out of EI Morocco, we'll go to the Village." "You like Dixieland bands?" "I know the greatest." "It's..." "Wait, I forgot." "We're having a party here tonight." "With an orchestra and dancing?" "That'll be even more fun." "I don't know." "A lot of dull people." "Family stuff." "I don't mind if you're there." " Sabrina?" " In a minute, Father." "I have a lovely evening dress with yards of skirt." " Shall I wear it?" " Why, yes, of course." "This couldn't be nicer." "A homecoming party!" "I'll get the dress out and press it." "See you tonight." "Hello, Linus." "I'm back!" "It's Sabrina." "Would you have recognized her?" "That scrawny kid who'd run away when she saw us, her knees painted with Mercurochrome." "How do you like those legs now?" "Aren't they something?" "David, the last pair of legs that were something cost the family $25,000." "Look what I brought you from Paris." "Sabrina, I should have mentioned it in a letter..." " Here." "Do you like it?" " But I didn't want to upset you." "Aren't they gaudy?" "Sabrina, David is engaged." "He's getting married again." "I know." "Margaret wrote me." "Brandy." "And this is for you to wear on your day off." " Then you don't care?" " Not too much." "He's not married yet." "I don't like that." "I don't like the sound of it." "Father, everything has changed." "Nothing's changed." "He's still David Larrabee." "And you're still the chauffeur's daughter." "And you're still reaching for the moon." "No, Father." "The moon's reaching for me." "I wish the wedding were tomorrow, David." " Don't you?" " Yes, dear." "Ten more days." "It'll seem more like ten years." "Yes, dear." "Father had planned for us to fly to Honolulu afterwards." "I said not." "I don't want to spend the first 18 hours of my honeymoon in a plane." " Do you?" " Yes, dear." " David!" " What?" "I mean, no." "What did you say?" " Aren't you interested?" " Of course, dear." " Aren't they a sweet couple!" " Charming." "Elizabeth is lovely." "Why do young men wear white jackets in the evening?" "They look like barbers!" " Now, Oliver..." " My throat's dry." " Have you been smoking?" " I've stopped smoking." "It's sad that after 48 years of marriage distrust should creep into our relationship." "I'll join the men in the library." "David?" "I think I ought to have a talk with your chauffeur." "What for?" "Father wants to give me a car and your chauffeur could tell me..." "Sure, sure." "Of course." " What's his name?" " Sabrina." "I mean Fairchild." "I'll talk to him." "Don't bother." "Alright, darling." "I know you'll take care of everything." "What is it, David?" " Would you like to get some food?" " No, thank you." " A drink?" " No." " I'm terribly sorry!" " It's my fault." "I didn't see you." " Will it wash out?" " Yes." " You'd better do it now." " Come on, Elizabeth." "I'll help you." "Sabrina!" "David!" " Hello." " You look wonderful." " Thank you." "I'm a bit late." " I worried." "Were you afraid I'd forgotten the address?" "It crossed my mind." " Shall we dance?" " Right here?" " Who is that girl?" " I don't know." "I wonder what happened to Elizabeth." " What a lovely party." " It is now." "The nicest one you've ever had." "And I've been to all your parties." " You have?" " Standing up there in that tree." "Sabrina, if I'd only known." "Sabrina, where have you been all my life?" " Right over the garage." " Right over my car." "Right up in that tree." "What a fool I was." "And what a crush I had on you." "It's not too late, is it?" "I don't know, David." "Is it?" "You should see her!" "You should see Sabrina!" "The prettiest girl." "The prettiest dress." "The best dancer." "The belle of the ball." " It's as if she belonged up there." " I don't like it." " Is she dancing with David?" " That's right." "He's holding her so close I don't see how she can breathe." "And the way they look into each other's eyes..." " I don't like it." " Tom, be happy for her." "This is what she wanted." "It's where she belongs." "It's not." "And it's not where I belong." "Remember the chauffeur on the Harrington estate?" "His daughter fell in love with the son." "Next he was driving the family to the church, changing his uniform and then giving the bride away." " That's not for me." "I don't like it." " That was 25 years ago." "Come on." "Let's sneak up and see her." "David?" " Hello, Mother." " I don't know this lady." " You do." " Good evening, Mrs. Larrabee." " Mother, this is Miss Fairchild." " Sabrina?" "Yes, of course." "Yes, of course." "Of course." "Sabrina." "You didn't recognize me, did you?" "Have I changed?" "You certainly have." "You look lovely, Sabrina." "I thought it'd be fun to ask her to the party as a welcome home." "David's been wonderful." "He met me at the station." "Did he?" "How nice of him." " She's been to Paris." " Yes, I know." "Come and cook something very special for us, Sabrina." " I want to see what you've learnt." " I've learnt a lot." "Bye." "This is such fun." "So much more fun than just watching from that tree." "I'm glad you came home." "I'll never let you go away again." " Never?" " Never." "Would you like to kiss me?" " Would I?" " Yes." "A nice, steady kiss." " Not on roller skates this time." " Roller skates?" " You don't remember?" " I remember I had a pair." "I was nine and you had your arms around me because you were teaching me to skate backwards." "Suddenly, you kissed me." "I've never forgotten." " Sabrina, let's get out of here." " Yes, let's." "I tell you what." "You slip away first." "I'll meet you at..." "The indoor tennis court." " And you'll bring champagne." " Of course." "You saw a lot from that tree!" "Will you have the orchestra play Isn't It Romantic?" "Naturally." " Where's David?" " He's being a good host." "I'll get him out of circulation." "Thank you." "Got a minute, David?" " Not now." " The old man wants to see you." " I'm busy." " He's frothing at the mouth." " What about?" " You guess." " Animal, vegetable or mineral?" " Definitely animal." "Linus, this boy should be drummed out of the family!" "What have I done now?" "I'm not saying all Larrabees have been saints." "Thomas Larrabee was hung for piracy." "Benjamin Larrabee was a slave trader." "And Joshua Larrabee was shot while attempting to rob a train." "But no Larrabee has behaved as you have behaved tonight!" " Exactly what have I done?" " Done?" "Father, remember your basal metabolism." "Making love to a servant in your mother's house!" " She is not a servant." " She's a servant's daughter." "You have embarrassed your mother and our chauffeur." "I've too much respect for Fairchild to intrude on his personal life." "You should have that respect for her." "I have so much respect for her I invited her." " That's overdoing it." " I love her!" "He loves her!" "Next thing he'll elope with the girl in the middle of the night!" "Maybe!" "I'll overlook you're an engaged man and remind you of your marital record to date." "I know, Father." "I made three mistakes." "First, that Hungarian countess, who married you to bring her family over." "Her parents and five brothers, all of them needing costly dental repairs!" " Do we have to go through it again?" " Then that Twyman girl." "Her family 50 years on the social register." "She wore on her wedding dress not a corsage but a Stevenson button!" "You promised not to swear." "Then that great actress!" "All she does is commercials on television for an underarm deodorant." "And now our chauffeur's daughter!" " Father, are you through?" " I am not through!" "I'm sure Linus has a few words to say." "I do." "But you won't like them, Father." " You're being unfair to David." " I'm what?" "David's old enough to live his life." " If she's the girl for him..." " Nonsense!" "You really mean that?" "It would knock your plans." "The plastics merger?" "Forget it." "If you love her, take her." " This is the 20th century." " The 20th century?" "I could pick a century out of a hat and get a better one!" "You will get rid of that girl and apologise to your fiancee!" "Now, Father, don't push him." "Let's discuss this like civilised people." " Sit down, David." " Thank you, Linus." "I have to go." "You two work it out." " Do you want me to help you?" " Of course." "Then sit down." "You're the only one who understands." " What is it?" "What happened?" " Champagne glasses." "I sat on them." " On the chair?" " No." "In my pocket!" "Sabrina?" "Hello." "You did order champagne, didn't you?" " What are you doing here?" " David sent me." " Isn't he coming?" " I don't think he can make it." " What happened?" " He got stuck." "Stuck?" "Nothing serious." "One of those things." "Shall I serve it up there or will you come down?" " Up there?" "Alright." " No, I'll come down." "We meet under the most peculiar circumstances." "Either you're under eight cars looking for a spark plug or you're up here umpiring a tennis match between two imaginary players." "Oh, you look lovely, Sabrina." "And very grown up." " I'll get back to the party." " And leave me here?" "What did David say?" "I haven't seen him in such a state since he was kicked in the head by a polo pony." " That's nice." " Amnesia has definitely set in." "He's completely forgotten he's engaged." "He wants you." "And I want him." "I've been in love with him all my life." " There goes the engagement!" " You don't object?" "Object?" "To you?" "It's as though a window had been thrown open and a lovely breeze swept through this stuffy house." "How could I object?" "Even though the breeze comes from the garage?" "This is the 20th century, Sabrina." "Thank you." "Let's drink to that." "Sorry it isn't David here instead of me." "But it's all in the family." "When you walked in," "I was sure you'd been sent by the family to deal with me." " To deal with you?" " Like in a Viennese operetta." "The young prince falls in love with a waitress and the prime minister is sent to buy her off." " Buy her off?" " Yes." "He offers her 5,000 kronen." ""No," she says." ""10,000?" "No."" " 15,000 kronen?" " No." " 25,000 kronen?" " No." " 25,000 dollars?" " No." "How did dollars get into this?" "25,000 dollars after taxes, that's a lot of money." "What are you saying?" "I'm making it worthwhile." "What's a krone these days?" "No self-respecting prime minister would offer kronen." "No self-respecting waitress would take dollars." "Good girl." "Say, how does this operetta end?" "What's the last act?" "I don't know." "I guess they run away to America on a zeppelin with everybody singing like mad." " They open a brewery in Milwaukee?" " Yes." " A love that made Milwaukee famous." " Prosit." "There it is." "The song they were playing the night before I went away." "David was right here, dancing it with somebody else." "Tonight, I wanted it to be me." "It's all in the family." "How can we make sure that all the fragments have been removed?" "Simple." "We will reconstruct the two champagne glasses." "I cannot possibly be hurting you." "The area has been anaesthetised." "It's not you." "It's that song." "Sabrina?" "If David were here now, you'd expect him to kiss you, wouldn't you?" "Here's a kiss from David." "It's all in the family." " Come in." " Hi." "How do you feel?" "I never felt better in my life." "You look fine." "Has the anaesthetic worn off?" "I guess it has." "I brought you a present." "What happened last night?" "Was Sabrina mad because I didn't show up?" "Not mad, just disappointed." " Poor kid." "What did you tell her?" " The truth." "That the family objected to her, but you stood up like a man, and sat down like a jerk." "23 stitches." "This ought to make you feel better." "A plastic hammock?" "With a trap door." "I designed it and ran it off this morning." "On Sunday?" "Why not?" "You were in pain, so I had 'em open up the plant." "What a brother!" "Let's try it on for size." "Come on." "On your feet." "I'll never drink champagne again." " What do you think of Sabrina?" " Wonderful girl." " Were you nice to her?" " As nice as I could be." "What a brother." "I'm still trying to finish my poem to her." "What rhymes with glass?" "Glass..." " Alas." " Of course." " Right on the nose." " Linus!" "Sorry, David." "If Sabrina were only here." "Hey, how about smuggling her up here?" "What if Father sees her?" "Yeah, we wouldn't want to spoil it." " No, we sure wouldn't." " Linus, do me a favour." "Any time." "It's a bore for you, but could you keep an eye on Sabrina?" "I already am." "We're going sailing this afternoon." " Sailing?" " In your boat." "Honest?" "Oh, Sabrina..." "Tell her we'll be off, just the two of us, the moment the stitches are out." " You've already made up your mind?" " Absolutely." "This is it." "I wanted to make sure." "It's been it three times before." "I was blind." "It's been Sabrina since we were kids." "I just couldn't see it." "What about Elizabeth, Father and Mother?" "Elizabeth will be so broken up she'll buy three new hats." "Mother will go to bed with a severe headache." "Father will take to the bottle then threaten to exile me to Larrabee Copper in Butte, Montana." " That's where you come in." " How?" "I don't want to go to Montana." "You are going to help me?" "Oh, yes, I'm going to help you, aren't I...?" "What a brother..." "How's my poor darling?" "I brought you six books and Scrabble." "I'm in no condition to play Scrabble!" "That's all you are in a condition to do." "Why were those glasses in your pocket?" "I was taking them to the tennis court." "Somebody was waiting." "Er, there was a game going on." "In the middle of the night?" "That's why he needed the glasses." "Yes, that's why I needed the glasses." " Shall we play three-handed?" " No, I've got to go sailing." " Yes, he's got to go sailing." " No more false moves now." " Yes, Linus." " We don't want any complications." "So long, Elizabeth." "So long, Scarface." " Good afternoon, Father." " I thought it was your mother." "I don't mind your smoking in my room, but not in my closet." "It's good for the moths." "Now, that girl over the garage..." " David wants to run off with her." " With the chauffeur's daughter?" "I don't care who he runs off with so long as it's not the plastics merger." " It's simple." "We'll fire Fairchild." " Not after 25 years." "Then a nice cheque will make her forget David." "She doesn't want money, she wants love." "Didn't they discontinue that model?" "The last of the romantics." "L'amour, toujours I'amour." "Why pick on David?" "Why not someone else?" "We will do our best." "Is that the idea?" "Have you got someone in mind for her?" " Yep." " Who?" " Oh, no!" " What's the matter?" " Not you, Linus?" " It's no fun for me." "I've got a whole desk full of work." "There's the sulphur deal." "The Puerto Rican operation has to be set in motion." "And I'm about to make an ass of myself with a girl of 22." "Look at me!" "Joe College, with a touch of arthritis." "Could you use this, sailing into the sunset?" " I wish I were dead." " Just a thought." "Music might help." "I had a portable phonograph in my freshman days." "I only hope you remember what to do with a girl." "It'll come back to me." "It's like riding a bicycle." "This is a very unusual song." "Is it popular?" " Yes." " Why haven't I heard it?" "You've been in Paris for two years." " How did they think of those words?" " They are clever, aren't they?" " May I play another?" " Of course." " You need dusting." " I beg your pardon?" " I didn't mean you, Linus!" " Thank you." " How's David?" " Better, now he's flat on his back." "I miss him." "Not that I'm not having a good time." "Sabrina, would you mind if we..." "turned this off?" " Why?" " Because." " Don't you like it?" " I used to like it." "Certain songs bring back memories to me, too." "Did you love her?" " I'd rather not talk about it." " I'm sorry." "That's alright." "So strange to think of you being touched by a woman." "I always thought you walked alone." "No man walks alone from choice." "As a child, I used to watch you from the window over the garage." "Coming and going, always wearing your black homburg, carrying a briefcase and an umbrella." "I thought you could never belong to anyone, never care for anyone." "Oh, yes, the cold businessman, way up in his executive suite." "Just ice water in his veins, ticker tape coming from his heart." "And yet one day, that same cold businessman, high up in a skyscraper, opens the window, steps out on a ledge, stands there for three hours, wondering... if he should jump." " Because of her?" " No, that was another woman." "Sabrina, do you find it hard to believe someone might want to blot out everything, for sentimental reasons?" "I believe it!" "It was for sentimental reasons that I..." "I went to Paris to blot it out." "Maybe you should go to Paris." "It helped me." "Have you ever been there?" "Oh, yes." "Once." "I was there for 35 minutes." "35 minutes?" "Changing planes on my way to Iraq on an oil deal." "But Paris isn't for changing planes." "It's for changing your outlook." "For throwing open the windows and letting in... letting in la vie en rose." "Paris is for lovers." "Maybe that's why I stayed only 35 minutes." "Hi, David." "Hello, Father." "Margaret has some dinner for you in the kitchen." "Funny." "I used to be so afraid of him." "Aren't you hungry?" "Father, you've driven Linus for so many years." "What do you know about him?" "A chauffeur keeps his eyes on the road." "Only once in a while does he glimpse in the rear-view mirror." "If you looked a little longer, Father, you'd find him nice." "And quite human." "Good morning, Miss McCardle." "First, a wire to Hannegang, Fort Worth." "Unable to attend Larrabee Sulphur board meeting." "Slight hitch plastics merger." "Got that?" "Next." "Here's the itinerary for tonight." "I want two tickets to The Seven Yearltch." "Table for two at The Colony before the show, table for two at The Persian Room after the show." "A corner table, dark." "I'm just passing La Guardia field." "Put the coffee on in ten minutes." " Fairchild, I need you tonight." " Yes, sir." " I'm taking Sabrina out again." " Yes, sir." "Would you have her at my office at seven?" "Yes, sir." "Anything wrong, Fairchild?" "I would prefer not to be involved in these dates with my daughter." "It makes for a rather awkward situation." " That never occurred to me." "Sorry." " It's just not right, sir." "I like to think of life as a limousine." "We're all driving together, but there's a front seat, a back seat and a window in between." "Fairchild, I never realised it, but you're a terrible snob." "Yes, sir." "Alright, have her drive in herself, in David's car." "Thank you, sir." "It's all so distressing." "First Mr. David, now you." "I wish Sabrina had stayed in Paris." "So do I." "May I ask, sir, what exactly are your intentions?" "My intentions?" "Unethical, reprehensible but very practical." "I beg your pardon?" "With your permission, I'm shipping your daughter back to Paris." " You are, sir?" " I'm going to try to." "May I ask how, sir?" "First class, of course." "Don't worry about money." "It's not money I'm worried about." "It's Sabrina." " I don't want her to get hurt." " I'll be as gentle as I can." "I hope so." "She's just a displaced person." "She doesn't belong in a mansion but then she doesn't belong above a garage either." "Alright!" "The meeting of the board of directors will now come to order." "As chairman, I would like to say at the outset..." "The chairman is so dizzy." "Meeting adjourned." "Have a frozen daiquiri." "I once saw an office like this in Fortune magazine at my dentist's." "Has David got an office like this?" " Something like this, only larger." " Larger?" "Instead of a desk, he has a putting green." "Please, before my fingers get frostbitten." " Is this the ledge?" " What ledge?" "You know, the ledge." "That woman." "When you almost..." "Oh, the ledge." "Yes, that's the ledge alright." "What made you not do it?" "There were some children playing hopscotch on the sidewalk." "I'm very fond of those children." "Look at all these gadgets." "You press a button and factories go up." "Or you pick up a telephone and 100 tankers set out for Persia." "Or through a Dictaphone you say," ""Buy all of Cleveland and move it to Pittsburgh."" "You must be clever." "It's just a knack, like juggling three oranges." "It isn't oranges, it's millions." "Suppose you dropped one?" "Suppose I did?" "What's at the end of a million?" "Nothing." "A circle." " Sabrina..." " Yes, Linus?" "Can you keep a secret?" "Yes, of course you can." "I want you to look out there." "Uptown." " You see the French Line pier?" " Yes." " You see the boat?" " Yes." "That's the Liberte." "It sails on Thursday." "I'm going to be on it." " You are?" " Yes, I am." "I'm sick of pushing buttons in this office." "I'm breaking out, Sabrina." " I'm running away." " Good for you!" "I've been thinking about Paris ever since you mentioned it." "It'll make a new person out of you." "You'll double your money back." "I'm so glad you're going." "Or am I?" "It's 7:35, Mr. Larrabee." "You have a reservation at The Colony." "Thank you." "Ready, Sabrina?" "Tout de suite, as they say in Paris." "Curtain is at 8:40." "I used your brother's name at The Colony to get the darkest corner!" "I'm sorry, Mr. Larrabee." "This is what you do on your very first day in Paris." "You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi." "The rain's very important." "That's when Paris smells its sweetest." " It's the damp chestnut trees." " I see." "You're very clever, Linus, and very rich." "You can order yourself some rain." "Sure." "I can order myself some rain, I can get myself a taxi." "That's easy." "But can I find myself someone really nice?" "That's not so easy, Sabrina." "How do you say in French, my sister has a yellow pencil?" "Ma soeura un crayonjaune." "How do you say, my brother has a lovely girl?" "Mon frere a une gentille petite amie." "And how do you say, I wish I were my brother?" "Why are you looking at me that way?" "All night I've had a terrible impulse to do something." "Never resist an impulse, Sabrina, especially if it's terrible." "I'm going to do it." " There." " What's that for?" "You can't go walking up the Champs Elysees looking like a tourist undertaker!" "And another thing, never a briefcase in Paris and never an umbrella." "There's a law." "How will I get along in Paris without someone like you?" "Who'll be there to help me with my French, to turn down the brim of my hat?" "Suppose you meet someone on the boat, the first day?" "A perfect stranger." "I have a better suppose, Sabrina." "Suppose I were ten years younger and you weren't in love with David." "Suppose I asked you to..." "I suppose I'm just talking nonsense." "I suppose so." "Suppose you sing that song again." "Slowly." "Hi!" "I thought you two had eloped." "I wouldn't mind, but not in my car." " Hello, David." " Did you have a good time?" " So-so." " Where did you go?" "We saw The Seven Year Itch and went on to The Persian Room." " Lousy dancer, isn't he?" " So-so." "I bet he slept through the show then bent your ears about Dow Jones averages and profits taxes." "We talked about a lot of things." "How's your little, er, mishap?" "Shaping up beautifully." "Dr Calaway wants to show it to his class." " I'm sorry, Sabrina." " It's very funny." "Say, Linus, while I was lying in that hammock I got a great idea." "He thinks I'm an idiot." "How does this strike you?" "Plastic champagne glasses, just in case." "Brilliant." "What else did Dr Calaway say?" " Stitches come out Thursday." " Thursday?" " I'm a fast healer." " You sure are." "So if you two have long-range plans..." "I thought she'd like to see the Stock Exchange and our Jersey plant." "Oh, I don't think so." "Then we'll just have dinner and go to a show." "But that's all." "Come Thursday, the first team takes over." "What's with the homburg?" "I guess the undertaker had better turn in." "You'd better crawl back into that hole in your hammock." " Au revoir, Sabrina." " Good night, Linus." "He's a little on the dull side, but you can't help liking him." " Kiss me, David." " I'd love to, Sabrina." "Again." "That's better." "What's the matter?" "You're not worried about us?" "I'm not." "There'll be a big stink." "Who cares?" "David, I don't think I'm going to have dinner with Linus." " I don't want to go out with him." " Why not?" "I want to be near you." "I know how you feel." "It must be an awful bore." "But if Linus wants to take you out, be nice about it." "It's important." "He's our only ally." "Father will try to cut off my allowance and send me to Larrabee Copper in Butte, Montana." "We don't want to go to Butte, Montana, do we?" "Hold me close, David." "We'll have a wonderful time, darling." "We'll build a raft and drift across the Pacific like Kon-Tiki." "Or climb the highest mountain, like Annapurna, just the two of us." "Keep talking, David." "We thought pink roses for the cherubs and white gardenias for the names." "It'll take 2,000 gardenias." "We'll float it in our pool." " Indoor or outdoor?" " Outdoor." "We drained the indoor to make room for presents." "Where's the provision determining the ratio of investment to controlling interest?" "Page 62, paragraph six, subdivision B." " Father, where's the list?" " Here you are, darling." "Would you like to see the invitation list?" ".740 under trust of Illinois, 550..." "The way this merger's worked out," "I have all the titles and you have all the controls." "I always make it a point to have controls." "It's your good luck the kids are fond of each other." "I make it a point to be lucky, too." "Come along, Father." "Linus, you won't forget the gardenias?" "Tony has a sweet idea." "He'll fly over the chapel and throw rice from his plane." "With David the bridegroom, maybe he'd better use wild rice." "All I can say is David better show up at this wedding." "I have a horrible vision of Elizabeth waiting at the altar, and 2,000 gardenias floating in the pool spelling "disaster"." "Memo to Miss McCardle." "First, call Brunson in Larrabee Shipping." "We need 2,000 gardenias." "Tell him to start cornering the market." "We're not having trouble with..." "I can't remember that garage girl's name." "Sabrina." "What right has a chauffeur got to call her that?" "What would you suggest?" "Ethel?" "You've taken her out three nights in a row." "Is that situation in hand?" "I think so." "It's resolving itself into a straight export deal." "I want two accommodations on the Liberte." "One in the name of Sabrina Fairchild." "One in my name." "What?" "You and that girl going off on a boat together?" "Have I spawned two idiot sons?" "Who said I was going?" "She is going." "She'll think I am, but I'm not." " Is that clear?" " It is not!" "I'll tell Sabrina that I'll meet her on the boat." "When the boat is ten miles out, she'll find out I'm not on the boat." "My cabin will be empty." "Just a note of apology and a few presents to soften the blow." " Excellent." " Yes, I thought you'd like it." "Miss McCardle, I want flowers in Miss Fairchild's cabin." "Candy, fruit and the usual what-have-yous." "Cable Michot to get her a car in Paris." "Also an apartment." "A letter of credit on our Paris bank." " She can draw up to 50,000." " Easy, now." "Transfer to Thomas Fairchild 1,000 shares, Larrabee Common." "1,000 shares?" "Make it 1,500 shares, Larrabee Preferred." "There must be a less extravagant way of getting a chauffeur's daughter out of one's hair." "How would you do it?" "You can't even get a little olive out of a jar." "Eat it." "Going up?" "No, thank you." " Yes?" " Miss Fairchild for you." " Send her in." " She's on the phone." "It's on five." "Sabrina?" "What happened to you?" "It's twenty past eight." "Good evening, Linus." "I know I'm late." "I guess I should have called you earlier." "I can't see you tonight." "I'm sorry." "I just can't make it." "I tried but I'm all tied up." "No, I'm not in Long Island." "I'm in New York." "Downtown in a phone booth." "In a building." "What difference does it make what building?" "I can't see you tonight." "Alright, it's the Larrabee Building, but I'm not coming up." "Look, Sabrina, suppose you tell me exactly what's on your mind, slowly and clearly?" "You talk and I'll listen." "It was really David's idea I go out with you." "He wants you to help him." "But it's not helping me." "I shouldn't have been seeing you." "I shouldn't be talking to you on the phone." "In fact, I'm really only calling to say goodbye." "Tomorrow, you'll be on the boat to Paris." "In a way, I'm glad you're going." "You do know what I mean, don't you?" "Linus?" "Hello, Linus?" "Where are you?" " Your three minutes are up." " Hello." "It's silly." "I was talking to myself." "You've wasted a dime, too." "Come on." "You're not angry?" "I have a perfectly good reason why I shouldn't see you." "Not here, Sabrina." "Alright, Sabrina, what is that perfectly good reason why you shouldn't see me?" "What is it?" "What's bothering you?" "It's me that's bothering me." "Please don't." "I'm sorry." "I know I'm not making much sense, Linus." " Would you like a drink?" " I don't think I want a drink." "I think I do." " Why don't you sit down?" " I can only stay a minute." " Mind if I turn on this little one?" " If you want." "I'd hate to fix myself a martini with creme de menthe." "Yes?" "I cancelled your dinner reservation." "What about the theatre tickets?" "I couldn't possibly go anywhere." "They're all yours, Miss McCardle." "Good night." "You're sure you won't have even one?" " No, thanks." " You must be hungry." " I hadn't thought about it." " Well, I'm starved." "I was sort of saving myself for 21 tonight." "I've spoiled your evening." "No, you haven't." "We can have dinner right here." "Let's see what Miss McCardle is hoarding." "Probably maraschino cherries and stale crackers." "Tomato juice, puffed rice, sardines, tomato juice." "That's an awful lot of tomato juice." "Could you fix something out of this?" "I suppose so." "I'm a graduate cook." "I have a diploma." "It'll take a diploma." "I wanted to be so sure I couldn't go out with you tonight." "And here I am cooking for you." "I guess maybe I should have worn an apron." "One apron, coming up." "Pots." "Pans." "Can opener." "Stove." "All the comforts of home." "Miss McCardle cooked dinner here for the board of directors." "After the first course, there was a move to adjourn." "It was passed unanimously." "What do we start with?" "I haven't decided yet." "Now, Sabrina, let's have none of those." " I'm so ashamed, Linus." " You have no reason to be." "I've known you just a few days, really." "And I've been in love with David all my life." "I can't understand what's the matter with me." "I went away to grow up and I thought I had grown up." "I guess I haven't, really." "I just got myself a new hairdo, that's all." " Please say something." " Like what?" "I don't know." "Tell me I'm imagining things." "Tell me you never thought of taking me on the boat to Paris with you." "Tell me to put on my coat and go home before I make a complete fool of myself." "Don't let me go home." "I couldn't bear it." "This is the last time we'll see each other." " I'll behave." "I'm alright now." " That's good." "How about dinner?" "I just remembered I didn't have any lunch today." "Or any breakfast." "That may account for a lot of things." "Would you like a souffle for dessert?" "Out of tomato juice?" " Out of crackers, of course." " Not too soggy." "You'd better get out of the kitchen." "Which one is the Liberte?" " The one on the right." " Are you sure?" " You mustn't take the wrong boat." " I'll try not to." "You haven't forgotten my instructions, have you?" "Never an umbrella in Paris, and under all circumstances rain the very first day." "I haven't forgotten a word, Sabrina." "My sister has a yellow pencil." "Ma soeura un crayonjaune." "Very good." "Tres bien." "Watch." "One, two, three, crack." "New egg." "It's all in the wrist." "There must be an egg beater somewhere." "Linus!" "Why didn't you tell me?" "You do want to take me with you, don't you?" "These don't mean what you think they mean." "I know why you didn't tell me." "You think it's wrong." "They'll say I'm too young, there'll be a scandal, and the market will go down." "Linus Larrabee Esquire is taking me to Paris." "Sabrina, I... wasn't going to take you to Paris." "I was going to send you." " Alone?" " Yes, all alone." "But there's a ticket for you." "For an empty cabin." " You were joining me in Paris?" " I'm afraid not." " I think I understand." " I'm sorry." "But why?" "Why did you do it, Linus?" "High finance." "Expansion." "Marriage." "A merger." "A new plaque on the Larrabee Building." "You got in the way." " David?" " That's right." "How inconsiderate of me." "And how inconvenient for you, such a busy man, having to waste so much time to get me on a boat." "I'm ashamed to say I enjoyed every minute of it." "And I suppose, in your empty cabin, there would have been a farewell note, dictated to and typed by Miss McCardle?" " And perhaps a few flowers." " A little more than that." "A letter of credit." "An apartment in Paris." "A car." "1,500 shares of Larrabee Preferred for your father." "You're very generous." "We regard it as a necessary business expense." "I'll just take one of those tickets." "I was happy in Paris." "I think you would have been, too." "Good night, Mr. Larrabee." "I'm sorry I can't stay to do the dishes." "Good morning." " Mr. Larrabee?" " Come in, Miss McCardle." " Good morning." " You're late." "I had to make my own coffee." "Worst ever." " Sorry." "I had a very bad night." " I know exactly how you feel." "You better get that pad." "We have things to do." "I used your theatre tickets and took my mother." "Are you ready?" "Call Larrabee Shipping." "Tell them to radio our tankers bound for Puerto Rico to turn back." "Tell Larrabee Construction to stop work on the plant." " We're cancelling the merger." " We are?" "I want Mr. Larrabee Senior," "Mr. Tyson and Miss Elizabeth Tyson here in this office." "Get a large bottle of smelling salts." " We're calling off the wedding." " We are?" "When's your mother's birthday?" "I'm sending her 2,000 gardenias." "Here's a ticket for the Liberte." "Transfer it to the name of David Larrabee." "Get his passport out." "Make sure it's in order." "Locate David." "The boat sails at noon." "I've called the house and he isn't there." "Try Dr Calaway." "Try everywhere, but get him." "Do you want me to send those presents to Miss Fairchild's cabin?" " No." "We're sending David instead." " Good morning." "The stitches are out." "It's as good as new." "Congratulations." "I've been looking for you." "I've been looking for you." " You're leaving for Paris today." " No kidding?" "With Sabrina." "She's going to be on the boat." "Uh.huh?" "Does she have to be in here?" "Alright, Miss McCardle." "You've got a lot of work to do." "Aren't you pleased?" "What's the matter?" "I saw Sabrina when she came home last night." "Found her packing." "What did she say?" " Nothing." "She just kissed me." " What's wrong with that?" "I may know nothing about Dow Jones but I know about kisses." "You could lecture on that at Vassar." "This one tasted like a goodbye kiss." " You're just imagining things." " No, it had a few tears in it." "It took me until this morning to add two and two together," "Like two champagne glasses and the plastics deal and Sabrina." " You know what I got?" " What?" "Sorry to do it to a tired businessman." "That's alright." "Well, now we're even." "Go home and start packing." "I'll take care of Elizabeth." "I'm calling off the merger." "Miss McCardle has your passport and ticket." "Let her know if you need money." "I want you and Sabrina to have a good time in Paris." "Goodbye." "What makes you so sure Sabrina still wants me?" "She's wanted you all her life." "Until you came along in that silly homburg." "Straighten that silly hat and go." "You'll miss the boat." "Don't worry, I won't miss the boat." "I'm going." "Funniest thing." "Linus Larrabee, the man who doesn't burn, scorch or melt, throws a $20.million deal out the window." "Are you sure you don't want to go with her?" "Why should I want to go with her?" "You're in love with her." "You won't be annoyed if I cry at the boat, will you, Sabrina?" "I'll be disappointed if you don't, Father." "I'd feel better if you'd be angry with me for allowing this to happen." "It wasn't your fault, Father." "It was mine." "I should have believed you." "There's a front seat and a back seat and a window in between." "If it's any consolation, one good thing's come out of it." "You did get over David, didn't you?" "Dear David." "Yes, I did get over that." "I'm cured." "Now, how to get over the cure!" "It wouldn't have worked out really." "The papers would have said how fine and democratic for a Larrabee to marry the chauffeur's daughter." "But would they praise the chauffeur's daughter?" "No." "Democracy can be a wickedly unfair thing." "Nobody poor was ever called democratic for marrying somebody rich." "Why don't we start this meeting and sign the papers?" "We're waiting for David, of course." "That boy has no sense of time, of direction." "As a matter of fact, he has no sense." "Where is he?" "We'll get to that in a minute." "Here are the smelling salts." "I got you the largest size." "Look what I bought him for Waikiki Beach." "I hope they're loud enough." "I hope they're returnable." "I see no need for any further delay." "Suppose we get down to business?" "What about David?" "That's a very good question." "Not yet." "Mr. Tyson, members of the board..." "Are you with us, Father?" "Present." "We are here to put our signatures to the Larrabee-Tyson merger." "Much effort has gone into making this union possible." "Long hours." "Many obstacles to overcome." "Nobody knows better than I." "However..." "Not yet." "However, sometimes even the most conscientious of businessmen can botch up a deal for one reason or another." "Understand, I don't mean to say that our merger has hit a snag, or failed to gel, or gone up in smoke, or fallen through." "Let me put it this way, gentlemen." "It has sailed away." "I seem to have missed something." "Would you mind starting again?" "Now, Miss McCardle." "Elizabeth, I hate to break the news, but at this very moment, your fiance, David Larrabee..." "Is late, as usual." "Hello, everybody." "Hello, darling." "Hello, Linus." "How are you?" "What are you doing here?" "I heard there was a board meeting." "Where are the contracts?" " Where's Sabrina?" " Sabrina?" "Who's Sabrina?" " That name!" " She's on the boat, I guess." "But the boat has sailed." " And there she goes." " Who goes?" " Sabrina." " Who is Sabrina?" " Why did you do it?" " Do what?" "She's all alone out there." "Not according to the afternoon papers." "It says here that Linus Larrabee, that's you, and Sabrina Fairchild, that's she, have reserved adjacent deck chairs on the Liberte, sailing today." "All columnists should be beaten to a pulp and converted into paper." "Did you plant this?" "Me?" "I thought it was common knowledge about you and Sabrina." "Who is Sabrina?" "Our chauffeur's daughter, that's who." "How about that?" "Linus Larrabee, wizard of finance, chairman of the board, getting mixed up with his chauffeur's daughter." "That's enough, David." "She went after me, but she switched to Linus." "I guess it's because he's got more money." "We know about those kind of girls." "Believe me, this one is no different, just seems to be." "I said that's enough." "Maybe you got smart." "Or maybe you just got lucky, because you're here and she's out there." "She would have taken you for plenty." "I was just helping you make up your mind." "You are in love with her!" "What are you waiting for?" "There's an elevator outside, a police escort downstairs and a tugboat standing by." "Get moving!" "If you'll excuse me, it appears I have a previous engagement." "That's the 20th century for you." "Automobiles." "Garages." "Chauffeurs." "Chauffeurs' daughters!" "Inasmuch as I seem to be the only member of the Larrabee family who is not out of his mind," "I will take it upon myself to call this meeting back to order as soon as David Larrabee removes his carcass from this table." "Sit down, Father." "The olives!" "Miss Fairchild?" "Il y a un monsieursurle bateau qui voudrait bien que vous lui arrangiez son chapeau." " Voila." " Merci beaucoup."

"Previously on "The Nine Lives of Chloe King"..." "I found this." "What's it doing in your dad's storage unit?" "My father always told me that my grandmother died when I was four." "Are you really going out to that address in Mill Valley?" "Zane." "We're supposed to be going out tonight." "Once we kill those protecting the Uniter, the girl won't stand a chance." "You're safe." "How come i don't feel that way?" "You know that book you and your dad made?" "You two were always so happy." "When were you gonna tell me your father's alive?" " Oh ho my God." " These are so cute." " Adorable." " Aw." "What is it about photo booths that brings out crazy face?" "No, they're not all crazy." "I love it when a plan comes together." "What plan?" "This-- us." "Me and Paul and you and Alek." "Life is going to be so much easier now that we're both a couple." "Because, yeah, that's what was making my life so difficult." "And Alek and I are not a couple." "Look me in the eyes and tell me you're not on a date." "Funnel cakes and Ferris Wheels do not a relationship make." "Okay, yes, I like him." "There, I said it out loud in public, but I don't know where it's going, I don't know what it means and I don't completely understand it, so can you please" " just be happy with that for now?" " Couple." " For you." " Aw." "Apparently I broke some sort of record or something." " He's adorable." " Resemble anyone you know?" "Hmm, there is a certain arrogant gleam in his eyes that seems familiar." "And, uh, I won this for you." "Aww!" "Maybe if you kiss it, it will turn into a prince." "I already have a prince, just one who is very bad at ring toss." "Wait until I unleash the monster on the milk bottles." " Seriously?" " I'll have you know I'm a master." "Please, you'll be lucky to knock even one off." "Think you can do better?" "Boys-- it's like watching a slightly sad Nature special." "Hey, cute." "Let me see." "Oh, there's a hard-core cage match about to begin if you're interested." "I believe it involves milk bottles." "No, I think I'm good right where I am." "And that would sound slightly more romantic if I didn't have to take this." "Sorry." "Well done, Miss Jasmine." "Thanks." "He's sweet and sort of mysterious, which I kind of like." "I'm not cheating." "It's natural talent." "You're using your Mai powers." "Yeah, which is 100% natural for me." "Don't feel too bad." "I'm pretty much unbeatable." "Oh, if only that were true." " Really?" " Oh, I'm afraid so." " Ready?" " Amy:" "At the same time." " It won't be much longer." " Amy:" "One, two, three-- go." "I'm waiting for Valentina to return." "Just be ready to act when she does." "Don't worry." "Soon they'll all be dead." "Whoo-hoo!" "Oh, whoo!" "♪ Nine Live of Chloe King 1x10 ♪ Beautiful Day Original Air Date on August 16, 2011" "♪ Another night to come alive ♪" "♪ when worlds collide ♪" "♪ I come alive. ♪" "♪ one, two, three, hit me ♪" "♪ The center seat right next to me... ♪" "♪ flashes me a smile ♪" "♪ don't think he's had any in a while... ♪" "Hey, give me that."

"What are you gonna do, just run up and knock on the door?" "Don't mock." "It took me hours to come up with that plan." "Still wanna go?" "Be dangerous, right?" "That's why I want you to come along-- to protect me." "Quite a punch." "I pack pick you up in an hour?" "Um, sure." "I'll meet you out front." "I've gotta go get dressed."

" Let's see, involved, loving mother;" "nosy, slightly annoying parent-- fine, navigate your personal life without my expert advice." "Much appreciated." "Oh, remember I'm out tonight, so you're on your own." "Already missing you." "We've had practically a 24-hour watch on Chloe since Jasmine found the camera." "But no sign of whoever took the photos?" "No." "You think it's the order?" "Possibly, but there are others who might want to harm the Uniter." "Next time you say "To the bridge and back,"" "remind me to ask which bridge that is." "Mom, you're home." "Where I expected to find you." "Hi, I'm Zane." "A pleasure to finally meet you." "I came by earlier to pay my respects, but-- but ended up going out with my daughter instead." "Welcome to San Francisco." "I should go." "Where is Chloe now?" "She should still be at home." "She's supposed to call if she goes anywhere." "I texted her a couple of times this morning, but I haven't heard back." "I left you in charge." "It's your job to know where she is at all times." "Find her." "Now." "Missed you too." "Be happy." "I think she really liked him." " Good news?" " Very." "By tonight, the Uniter's entire support system will be eliminated." "I can't afford any mistakes." "Don't worry." "There's no one more deadly than an assassin with a grudge." "Oh, sorry." "I didn't know you were busy." "He's all yours." "I was just leaving."

"What if I don't like the answers?" "Whatever happens, you'll be fine." "Trust me." "You may be the one person in my life I totally trust." "I'm glad you came with me." "Me too." "I want one just like that." " Paul:" "That looks good." " Thank you, I know." " I think it'd be really nice-- - yeah." " Where's Chloe?" " Morning, Amy." "Hey, Paul." "Hope I'm not interrupting." "I left her messages, but she hasn't answered." "No one's heard from her." "I asked her to meet us." "Said she had some errands to run." "Why, what's wrong?" "Is it that creepy photo guy?" "Is he back?" "Did he bring some nunchuk-wielding friends?" "Just tell her to call me the moment you hear from her." "It's important." "Nobody's home, or at least nobody's answering." "I really wish I could see what's back there." "We came all this way." "Let's take a look around." "This has "bad idea" written all over it." "Relax, I took gymnastics until I was, like, 12." "All right, come on, on three." "Ready?" "One, two, three." " Brian:" "Are you okay?" " All good." "I'm just gonna run up and see if there's anyone's there." "So, what, you're just gonna walk up and knock on the door?" "Well, somebody once told me that was a great plan." "But don't worry, I'll be fine." "Two seconds." "Chloe!" "Samson!" "Enough!" "Sorry to frighten you." "Seems you're unclear as to the point of the gate." "It's there to keep intruders out." " What do you want?" " Grandma?" "It's me" " Brian." "I can't believe it's really you." "I just wish I had known you were so close." "Oh, I've dreamed of this moment for years." " I never imagined" " Oh my God." "Dad." "This place is beautiful, grandma." "So you must be 19 now." "You know, the last time you were on this patio" "I was holding you on my knee." "I can't believe I grew up thinking you were dead." "Well, I'll never forget that day." "Your father looked me in the eye and told me calmly that he never wanted to see me again." "How could he do that?" "I don't pretend to understand him or his motivations, but he was good to his word and we haven't spoken since." " You talked to mom?" " She took pity on me, sent me the occasional update." " Do you still play the piano?" " No, I haven't in years." "That's a shame." "What-- what happened?" "Your father always had a reckless sense of ambition." "That much hasn't changed." "Well, I suppose I encouraged it when he was young, but then it grew darker, more out of control and he was becoming involved in things that I didn't understand." "But then he met your mother and for a while everything changed." "We found the letters he wrote to her." "They were really in love." "Oh, Whitley loved Evelyn the same way he did everything-- great intensity." "From the moment they met, nothing could keep them apart, but soon he was back to his old ways." "And I was afraid how it might affect you and so I spoke my mind, and apparently once too often." "I think he might've had something to do with mom's death." "Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised." "Coming!" " It's just me." " Oh." "Hot mama!" "Although possibly a tad dressy for a Saturday afternoon." "It's for tonight-- dinner with some investors." "I'm testing a few options." "Well, that one gets my vote." " Mmm." " Um, is Chloe back yet?" "No, she and Brian probably won't be back for a few more hours." "She and Brian?" "Is there a problem I don't know about?" "No, everything's fine." "I just forgot that's where she said she was going." "Amy." "Ever since I met you, you have been a terrible liar." "Sit." " She told me she was doing errands." " Mmm." "And why do you think she would do that?" "Because I keep pushing her to date Alek." "Perhaps I can be a little judgy." "Sometimes a very good quality in a friend, which is what Chloe really needs these days." "What do you mean "these days"?" "Come on." "Life has been pretty crazy for her since she started getting those emails from her dad." "Her dad?" "Which I can now see you knew nothing about, so why don't I stop talking and tell Chloe you dropped by?" "Nice try." "Now it's your turn, lady sit." "Chloe?" " Is everything all right?" " Oh fine." "I just don't want to intrude." "Oh, don't be ridiculous." "In fact, I need to thank you." "Brian said that without your help, he never would've found me." "I didn't really do anything." "No, you were there for him and that's what matters." "It's obvious how much you care about him." "Um, I'm so happy you found each other." "Well, hopefully this will be the beginning of many visits." "Now are you sure I can't convince you" " to stay to dinner?" " Thanks." "I'd love to, but I really have to get back." "Another time." "Let me know the moment you hear anything." "Thank you." "That was Alek." "Chloe seems to have vanished." " I couldn't find her either." " Were you actually looking?" "Of course I was looking." "What else would I be doing?" "It seems you've been fairly preoccupied lately with that boy instead of fulfilling your duties." "I have fulfilled every single duty." "And what, now there's some rule that I'm not allowed to have a personal life?" " It's about priorities." " Well, yours are fairly clear." "It's hard, I know." "But you're gonna have to take my place one day and I just wanna make sure that you're ready." "So I can never have a normal life?" "For us, this is normal." "Really?" "I'm more of a cat person." "Brian:" "Chloe?" "I could come again next weekend if that's okay." "Oh, nothing would make me happier." "But I'd rather you didn't tell your father you've seen me." "I'm too old now to endure his wrath." "I'll endure it for the both of us." " Please, can this be our secret?" " Our secret." "Chloe." "Meeting you is a wonderful surprise." "Please come on back and see me again." "I will." "It's a promise." "The girl coming with him was certainly unexpected." "Did it pose a problem?" "I'd say more of an opportunity." "Are you certain Whitley knows nothing of my involvement?" " He has no idea." " Excellent." "Before I waste any more of my energy on this," "I need to know for sure if this girl really is the Uniter." "Don't worry." "I'll get you the proof you need." "Umm..." "Thanks for coming with me today." "You should take that." "Bye." " Hey." " Alek:" "Where have you been?" "Uh, didn't you get my text?" "Yeah." "Fairly short on details, other than you're alive and to stop worrying." "Sorry, I was just helping a friend." "Do I need to ask which friend that is?" "Alek, look, I'm sorry you were worrying." "I'll try and be better, but I'm supposed to meet up with Amy and Paul." " I'll call you later, okay?" " Yeah." "Later." " Amy:" "You should've told me." " Us." " Best friend." " Loyal sidekick." "Isn't one of you supposed to be playing good cop?" "Please don't give me a hard time about this." "I didn't tell anyone, not even my mom." "She only knows because she found the emails." "But how do you know it's really him?" "It could be anybody." "It's not." "I know it's him." "When I was little, we made up a story about a girl and a magic cable car." "He used to take me to that old theater in the park with all the cable car memorabilia..." " I love that place." " ..." "And we made these two little books." "He had one and I had one." "He sent me the rhyme in an email." "Only my dad would know that." "And in the spirit of full disclosure..." "Oh my God!" "He's here?" "Can you believe it?" "I might actually see him tonight." "Why won't he let you bring your mom?" "She knows you're in touch with him." "But she doesn't know why." "She's doesn't know that I'm Mai." "Dad's first email came the day I transformed." "He's obviously out there somewhere looking out for me." "He's part of this." "He knows where I was born, where I came from." "I just keep thinking he left because of me." " Chloe." " I have so many questions." "Have you told Valentina or Alek?" "No, this is truly between me and my dad." "Finally." "I was getting worried." " We need to talk." " About what exactly?" "Come on, spit it out." "I'm not a mind-reader." "I want to know what really happened the night mom died." "I've told you I won't discuss this." "I found the incident report." "You told the cops it was one guy-- one mugger who didn't even have a gun." "You've been looking into this after I forbid you to go anywhere near it?" "!" "Your days of forbidding me are over!" "I know you." "You would've died before you let some street punk kill mom." "I loved your mother more than you could possibly imagine." "I would've done anything to save her if I could've." "Then explain this." "Where did you get that?" "I'm not answering questions." "I'm asking them." "What really happened to mom?" "Get out of my office." "Now!" "Fine, but just so you know," "I'm not gonna stop until you tell me the truth." "Oh." "Hi, is Jasmine here?" "She said she was meeting you for dinner." "Yeah, she texted me, said to meet her here instead." "Well, she's not back yet." "Come on in." "Okay, I shouldn't be any later than 11:00." " Is Amy coming over?" " Not tonight." "Just me." "Really sorry I slipped up today, but it's Amy." "I just automatically assumed she knows every micro-detail of your life." "Most of 'em, but we talked." " We're good." " And how about you?" "Did you and Brian have a nice day today?" "Yeah, really nice." "We visited his grandmother." "Aw." "You like him, don't you?" " I do." " Then I don't understand why you've been so resistant to the idea of actually dating him, 'cause I'm pretty sure he likes you too." "Don't you have an investor to meet?" "The investor can wait." "Dating's confusing, especially when two boys like you." " I get that." " You're gonna keep giving me advice whether I want it or not, aren't you?" "I'm just worried that someone's gonna get hurt and it would break my heart if that person were you." "You have to be honest about your feelings, kiddo-- at the very least with yourself." "But I don't know what I feel." "Oh, I think you do." "I think you know exactly how you feel." "I think I'm in love with Brian, but I-- I don't wanna be." "I don't wanna be in love with him." "How do I stop?" "That's a tough one." "Some things you just can't control." "You love who you love." "Uh, you're gonna be late." " No, I can cancel." " No no no." "It's a big deal." "You need to go." "Me and my heart will be fine." "They're amazingly resilient." "Night." "♪ I don't belong ♪" "♪ you're wrong ♪" "♪ I don't belong ♪" "♪ to you. ♪" "Alek?" "You love who you love." "Guess I never really stood a chance, did I?" "I was afraid I was making a fool of myself." "Alek." "Sometimes I hate being right." " It's not the way it sounded." " Oh really?" "'Cause it sounded like you said you were in love with him." "I don't know what I am." "I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter." "We both know I can't be with him." "And that's supposed to make me feel better?" "I don't want you to choose me because I'm the only option." "I'm not choosing anyone." "I think you already have." "You're making a huge mistake." "I" "Chloe." "I thought you were staying in tonight." "Uh, yeah." " Last-minute change of plans." " I guess I'm a little late." "I was gonna try and convince you to have dinner with me." "Is everything all right?" "I had a blow-up with my dad." "So yeah, but everything's fine." "I just want to talk to you about it." "I'm sorry, I" "I just promised I'd meet Amy over on Fulton, so" "I'll give you a ride." "No no, it's out of your way." "I'll just catch a cable car." "Honestly, it's no problem." "Come on." "Uh..." "Okay." "Thanks." "And the more I get to know Chloe, the more I realize that there really is something different about her." " Something special." " Yeah." "You have more faith than I do." "It's hard enough uniting the Mai." " Do you want some more?" " Yes, please." "I know things have been difficult, but I still have hope, though I doubt I'll actually get to see it in my lifetime." "Yeah." "I kinda doubt that too." "You know, I've imagined this day for most of my life." "I've played it out 1,000 times in my head." "The poison acts fast, but not too fast." "You should stay alive just long enough to watch your daughter die." "I'd invite you to join, but I promised Amy" "No, it's-- it's okay." "Call me tomorrow." "Definitely." "Thanks again for the ride." "You bet." "Bye." "The success of the first project led to the second, and then the third, and before I knew it," "I had somehow created a business." "I'm so sorry your associates couldn't make it tonight." "Honestly, I'm rather glad they didn't." "I'm happy to have you all to myself." "It would be a lot easier to make sure she's safe if we didn't keep losing her." "I was trying not to get spotted." "Yeah, well, maybe don't try so hard next time." "What's she doing over on this side of town anyway?" "Wait, we're near the park." "The Hallidie Theater." "That's where she used to go with her dad." "I bet that's where she's going to meet him." "Chloe." "What are you doing here?" "Me?" "What the hell is going on?" "I thought you were having dinner with Amy." "I know that's what I said, but this is just a place I used to come with my dad." "I" " I'm fine, really." "It's closed." "You have to go." "Please?" "Are you meeting someone?" "Are you meeting Alek?" "No no, this has nothing to do with him." " Then who is it?" " It's not important." "What is it with you?" "I've told you everything." "I've shared more with you than I have with anyone else in my life." "Why is it so hard for you to tell me what's going on in yours?" "Brian." "I'm sorry." "I can't explain it right now." "I hope that soon I'll be able to, but..." "Earlier today you said that you trusted me." "If you truly meant it, you have to let me do this." "Go." "Meet whoever you're supposed to meet." "But if you're not out in 10 minutes, I'm coming in after you." "I won't leave until I know you're safe." "Thank you."

"Tonightyou're free." "Tomorrow, Ireland, okay?" "Can I ask a question?" "How do you really find me?" "If you could change anything, whatwould it be?" "My body, my personality, the way I walk..." "You're shit." "No, leave me alone." "Stop." "That's not funny!" "I'm cured." "Are you glad?" "Look how beautiful women are." "Don't like it?" "That's enough!" "Leave me alone." " Come on."

"I can't believe Metro News One is just forwarding you all this fan mail now." "I know." "I quit like four months ago." "You had more fans than I thought." "And only about 60% of them are prison inmates." "What are these guys thinking?" "I am way past my "dating prisoners" phase." "It's like, hello, I'm not 19 anymore." " Lottery Girl's on." " I just feel sorry for these women." "This is where broadcast careers go to die." "Check it out." "I make it fun." "I invented a little game." "Tonight's Lotto numbers are... 19..." "Age you moved to New York after a photographer "discovered" you at a food court and said he'd get you in Vogue magazine." "53..." "Number of semi-nude pictures he took of you before you realized he had no connection to Vogue magazine." "22..." "Age you claim you are." "31..." "Age you actually are." "45..." "Number of minutes it would take me to get you into a cab, out of your dress, and into my jacuzzi." "And tonight's Super Big Ball is..." "What happens after we get out of the jacuzzi." "What up?" "Synchro:" "ShalimarFox, Arrow" "Kids, by the winter of 2009, Robin had been unemployed for months." "But there was a glimmer of hope." " Hey." " How'd the audition go?" "Well, I went in there feeling really good." "I heard it was just me up against two other girls." "Listening." " Hi." " Hi." "And you are?" "You've obviously never spent any time in Denver." "Rochelle Harper, News Center 12." "We were only the number-one station in the Rockies for five straight years." "I was an anchor here in town at Metro News One." "An anchor." "You must have a killer sign off phrase." "Sorry?" "You gotta have a killer sign off phrase." "Like Walter Cronkite:" ""And that's the way it is."" "So what's yours?" "Well, I would just always end with a simple" ""From all of us here at Metro News One, have a good evening."" "Mine is:" ""From all of us here at Barney's apartment, get out."" "You didn't let those reporter bitches psych you out, did you?" "... and the President's economic team is hoping to have a proposal before Congress by the end of the month." "From all of us here at News Ten, have a good evening." "So, good night, New York." "And may the road ahead be lit with dreams and tomorrows." "Which are lit with dreams... also." "That's terrible." "And bad... also." "I wasn't done." "Stand tall, New York." "Trust worthy." "Recycling." "Wear a condom." "Wear a condom?" "I'm not gonna be the new Channel Ten anchor, am I?" "This just in." "Maybe the problem is your résumé." "See how mine is lean and mean?" "Yours is too cluttered." "Oh, like everything on your résumé is so relevant?" ""Program Director, 88.1 Wesleyan University Radio"?" " Oh, God." " Dr. X?" "You're still bragging about Dr. X?" " Who was Dr. X?" " Nobody knows." " He was this genius mystery D.J." " It was Ted." "His identity remains a secret to this day." "It was Ted." "But this phantom of the airwaves changed the very face of college radio." " It was Ted." " And your show sucked." "Dr. X here, shooting truth bullets at you from an undisclosed location." "Because if they knew where I was, they'd shut me down." "You're on the third floor of the Student Center next to the game room, you tool." "I've been getting a lot of letters about my segment on how racist the school's meal plan is." "How are you getting letters if no one knows where you are, douche?" "That's why I'm organizing a happening outside the dining hall, Monday at midnight." "It's high time the Food Service puppet masters took ignorance and injustice off the menu." "Ted, we need a fourth for foosball." " What are you doing in here, anyway?" " Dude, get out of here!" "I'll be there in a second." "So remember, dining hall, Monday, midnight." "Another Dr. X happening." "I'll be there, because X marks the spot-ot-ot-ot-ot..." "If you think people liked your show, they did not-ot-ot-ot..." "This is weird." "Look what got mixed in with your fan mail." " What?" " It's from the U.S." "Department of Immigration." "It's postmarked two months ago." " Oh, boy." " What is it?" "It's about my work visa." "Unless I can find a job in the next... seven days, they're gonna send me back to Canada." "I can't believe you might be kicked out of the country." "I know." "My whole life is here." "No." "We won't let this happen." "One of us will help you find a job." "Yeah, I bet I can get you something at my school." "No, guys..." "It doesn't work." "Robin only gets her work visa if she gets a job in her field." "You know what, I guess you could stay if you married a U.S. citizen." "Yeah, that could work." "Oh, no." "They could never process that and make it official in time." "That won't work." "I'm screwed." "I've been sending out my reel for 3 months, and nothing." "Maybe there's something in your reel that people aren't responding to." "Let's take a look at it, right?" "That's a good question, Norm." "The first thing is from when I was a cub reporter for Channel 22 in Red Deer." "In Alberta." "In Canada." "Well, the snow's coming down pretty hard, but these intrepid fishermen are still happy to be out competing in Lake Athabasca's Bass Fishing Jamboree, an August 1st tradition." "Back to you, Norm." "What?" "That was my first job." "It shows where I came from." "Unless a bear attacks you in the next three seconds and you snap its neck with your legs, that has no business being on your reel." "No, no, I get it, I get it." "Where you're from is part of who you're selling." "For instance, under "special skills"" "on my résumé, I mention that back in Minnesota, I was the 1995 Nicollet County Slam Dunk Champion." "You put dunk champion on your résumé?" "Yeah, why wouldn't you?" "A lot of companies have basketball teams." "It's good for them to know that VanillaThunder can still take the rock to the hole." " They called you Vanilla Thunder?" " Yeah, Vanilla Thunder." "The Ghost in the Post." "The Human Turnstile." "I didn't..." "I didn't play that much D." "You can't still dunk." "Of course I can." "Well, I mean I could..." " until... until recently." " Until the injury." "It's called iliopsoas tendonitis." "Oh, Yikes." "That sounds bad." "It's more commonly known as dancer's hip." "Dr. Goodman..." "Oh, come on!" "Iliopsoas tendonitis." "That's what it's called." "That's all it's called." "Iliopsoas tendonitis." "It's a basketball injury." "You know, it's no big whoop." "Dancer's hip, Marshall has something called dancer's hip." "OK, no, no." "They only call it that, look because it's very common with ballet dancers." "So, tell me, do any of the other little girls in your class have dancer's hip?" " Yeah, sure." " I have more of a technical question." "Is it easier to dance when you don't have external genitalia?" "Good, don't build to that, just go right for it." "Guys, come on." "Marshall didn't get this injury from dancing." "Thank you, Lily." "Clearly, the stirrups were set a little too wide during his last trip to the gyno." "Guys, I hate to cut you off before Marshall bursts into tears, but, Robin, check this out." "What you need is an awesome video résumé." "Like mine." "I present:" "Hello." "Barney Stinson, you've achieved great success in business, athletics and personal relationships and have been an inspiration to many people." "Is that you?" "Are you interviewing yourself?" "How can it be me?" "That guy's British." "What would you recommend to your numerous admirers who want to reach their highest potential?" "And a wee bit Scottish." "The first thing you need to know about success is that it doesn't just come to you." "Most people associate success with money and power, but really it's a state of mind." "You had to be on a motorcycle to say that?" "And when it comes to success the only limit is that there are no limits." "I didn't know you knew how to stand near a horse; that's impressive." "Barney, I don't get it." "You don't do a damn thing in any of these clips." "Exactly." "Because that's who corporate American wants... people who seem like bold risk takers, but never actually do anything." "Actually doing things gets you fired." "In fact, I'm writing a book on this very phenomenon." "Really?" "No, that would be doing some..." "Are you even listening?" "All my life, I have dared to go past what is possible." "To the impossible?" "Actually, past that... to the place where the possible and the impossible meet to become... the possimpible." "The possimpible?" "Really?" "Inventing your own word shows creativity and vision..." ""Vizha-tivity."" "If I can leave you with one thought, it's this:" "Nothing... and everything... is possimpible." "That guy's awesome" "Is that you agai...?" "Are you singing a song about yourself?" "Absolutely not." "That would be lame." "Stinson, Barney Stinson singing this song" "That would be really lame" "One of the many admirers who think that guy's awesome" "Perfect and available" "Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome..." "Awesome, awesome" "That baby got me 11 job offers." "No way." "Barney, that was ridiculous and insane." "Insane-ulous." " Make me one." " What?" " Yes, now you're talking." " What?" "I'm about to be deported." " I'll try anything." " Okay, we better get started." "There's a lot to shoot, I can't use any of the footage I already have of you." "What footage do you already have of me?" "Let's just get started." "Sweetie." "Are you still upset about the dancer's hip jokes?" "We were just kidding." "We all know it's a basketball injury." "Yeah, totally." " I have something I need to tell you." " What is it?" "I dance more than you know." "What?" "I dance... more than you know." "I don't know how to respond to that." "What does being a reporter mean to you?" " Well, ever since I was a little kid..." " Cut!" "You're getting bogged down in specifics." "I need you to just say vague, confident-sounding buzzwords, like "synergy" and "dynamism"." "You can make up a word, like..." ""linkativity."" "How will sounding like an idiot get me hired anywhere?" "Okay, fine." "Don't do it." "Anyway, there are plenty of exciting stories to cover back in Canada." "I just read that the mayor of Winnipeg's nephew went ice fishing and caught himself a 16-pound walleye." "Reporting live from the worst place in the world, I'm Robin Scherbatsky." "Fine." "Roll camera." " Connectitude." " Love it." "Transformatation." "Earn it!" "Linkativity." "Yeah, linkativity's mine." "So, how much dancing are we talking about?" "I don't..." "I guess" "I'd say... medium." "Why are you dancing so much, and why don't I know about it?" "It's something I do when I'm alone." "Like if something good happens," "I get excited and I need to move, and I just..." "I don't know." "I don't want to even talk about this anymore." "So that's how you injured your hip?" "Hey, did you hear?" "They're giving us a half day today." "We can leave at 2:00." "Great!" "Thanks, Herm." "These costumes are ridiculous." "Plus, the Amazon Warrior Princess armor gave me a rash." "Cards on the table." "You weren't the first lady to wear that in here." "But it conveyed power." "And so will this." "What I need you to do now... is break these 15 bricks with your forehead." "What?" "But you didn't do a damn thing in your video." "You just stood near a horse and sat on a motorcycle." "That's because I'm a man." "You're a woman." "The assumption is that you can't do anything." "But you have to prove society wrong." "I can't break 15 bricks with my forehead." "It's not 1950 anymore." "Yes, you can." " I'm out of here." " What?" "Why?" "None of this is going to help me get a job." "I'm about to get kicked out of the country." "I know what I have to do." "Is this where the Lottery Girl auditions are?" "Yeah, right here." "So, your Aunt Robin had reached her low point." "She was auditioning to be the Lottery Girl." "And tonight's Lotto numbers are..." "Hold it." "Say the line before you press the button." " It builds the suspense." " It builds the suspense." "And tonight's Lotto numbers are... seventeen..." " Stop her." " Hold it." "Why did she say it like that?" "It's like she's not even happy about the 17 coming up." "She seems mean." "Yeah, she seems super-mean." "Can you take another run at "17" for us?" "Seventeen." "I don't even understand what she's doing." "Let me try something." "Try being a little more wry." "Wry?" "About the number 17?" "Wry, with a little bit of a..." " Twinkle." " ... twinkle." "Seventeen." "That was great!" "I got you a light beer." "I know how you dancers are always counting calories." "It's not funny, all right?" "The doctor says if it gets any worse, I might need surgery." "Vaginal rejuvenation surgery?" "You know who didn't do a lot of operating on vaginas in college?" " Who?" " Dr. X." "He did just fine!" "You know what?" "Both of you geniuses need to take that weak-ass crap off your résumés." "I mean, you are not Dr. X anymore, and you cannot dunk anymore." "Let it go." "So Marshall and I are the only people at this table with "weak-ass crap" on their résumés." "What are you implying?" "I don't know!" "Does the date July 4, 1995 mean anything to you?" "You son of a bitch." "Time!" "And the new champion, with 29 hot dogs," "Lily "The Belly" Aldrin." "How is that relevant to teaching kindergarten?" "It teaches kids that..." "I can eat a lot of hot dogs very quickly." "Yeah, but you can't do it anymore!" "You can't dunk anymore, Ladyhips!" "How dare you!" "These hips can..." "Guys, guys!" "I didn't even get the Lotto Girl gig." "I have to move back to Canada." "I can't believe this." "I remember the night before I moved down here." "They threw a going-away party for me." "They gave me a camera so I could take pictures and send them home." "And everyone was so sure I was gonna be such a big success." "I'm really gonna miss you guys." "What happened?" "Robin has to move back to Canada." "Oh, my God." "How awful." "I mean, for one thing it's gonna be a really long commute." "What do you mean?" "I finished your video resume on my own." "Messengered it to every station in the city." "A guy from Channel Eight called." "He loved you." "He wanted you to come in and audition." "My God!" "I told him no." "Robin Scherbatsky doesn't audition." "He gives you the job or nothing." " So I got the job?" " No." "He cursed me out and hung up." "But then Channel 12 called." "They also loved you." "They offered you a job hosting their new morning talk show." " Barney, that's amazing!" " I told them to shove it." " Dude!" " Which only made them want you more." "So, they jacked up their offer by ten percent." "Congratulations." "It looks like you're gonna have to stay." " You're not about to dance, are you?" " I'm good." "I'll do it later." "How did you pull this off?" "I am the master of the possimpible." "You really are." "Thank you." "So, thanks to your Uncle Barney, we got to keep your Aunt Robin." "And the rest of us decided it was time to let some things go." "Well, except for Lily." "You got this." "And... time!" "What's the count?" "Thirty-three!" "Why is no one coming to my Happenings?"

"Previously on "Grimm"..." "This definitely belonged to a Grimm." "These books belonged to Josef the butcher." "Do you have more?" " There are 20." " I've heard of the guy that your uncle got the books from." " How?" " There's a black claw on the wall of his house." "Looks like we got our trailer back." "My God." "Another key?" "Three of them." "Go get the other two keys from upstairs." "We're going to the Black Forest." "If it's in Wolfach, where is it?" "Well, these maps aren't exactly to scale, so whatever it is could be anywhere." "I mean, in town, or..." "Well, Wolfach was probably a lot smaller then than it is now." "Okay, according to this, it's been around since 1084 and probably goes as far back as the Romans." "Well, at least we know some kind of village was there." "But whatever is there now was probably built on top of whatever was there." "So wherever it was hidden is gonna be that much harder to find." "When they made the map, they must have done something to pinpoint where they put it." "Otherwise, no one would ever be able to find it." "The only reason to make a map is so you can find something again." "They must have left a clue somewhere on this map." "Unless it's one of the keys we don't have." "I have a feeling this is gonna take a while." "I'll make some coffee." "There's got to be something." "What isn't obvious?" "It's from a DEA sting five years ago." "Former assemblyman and mayoral candidate Steven Gallagher buying an eight ball in a hotel suite." "This can't be tied back to you." "It won't be." "How come I've never heard about it?" "Because they were looking for the dealer, not Gallagher." "And Gallagher made it disappear?" "Friends in low places." "How did you get it?" "Don't worry about it." "We're doing this for the right reasons." "Well, the people have a right to know." "If you're not smart enough to bury your dirt, you don't belong in the game." "I was thinking about going home, but I'm not really tired." "Whatever is not obvious is really not obvious, because I am not seeing anything remotely unapparent." "I wish I knew what I was looking for." "Is it a letter, a number, a word?" "And why couldn't they have just done." ""X" marks the spot?" "That's what I would have done." "Would have done a big "X" marks the spot." "Mmhmm." "Maybe we do need the other keys." "Maybe they didn't leave a mark." "Then what's the point of making a map?" "To drive whoever has the map crazy." "No, they did this so they could go back and find whatever they took from the sack of Constantinople." "I mean, you don't just make a map and imprint it on the side of seven keys for fun." "It's the Middle Ages." "This type of metallurgy took a lot of work." "You see, legend has it there are seven keys." " Seven?" " Forged by the knights who fought for the seven royal families in the Fourth Crusade." "Now, when you put the maps together, they make one big map, leading to the location where the knights hid the precious wealth they took from Constantinople after they sacked and burned it." "Those knights are our ancestors." "Seven knights who were Grimms make a map, because they thought whatever they stole from Constantinople was worth hiding, so it could be found again." "There's three rivers that all converge near Wolfach." "Maybe that's the "X"." "But rivers can change their course over time." "That would be a moving "X"." "All right, there were seven Grimms, all knights, fighting in the Fourth Crusade." "Fighting for what?" "The power and the glory of God." "So maybe they buried it in a church." "I'm just saying, if you're fighting for God." "Check the churches." "Well, I have been for the last three hours." "Some of these symbols aren't churches." "I think they're castles." "All churches have steeples." "How many churches do we have near Wolfach?" "All right, on the key map we have one, two, three, four, five... this part of the map is missing." "So here on this map, two more churches." "Which makes seven churches." "But they wouldn't have split it up over seven churches." "Wait a minute." "All the churches have steeples except for this one." "This one has a cross." "I don't think that's a cross." "It's too short." "Looks kind of like an "X."" "And it's right in Wolfach." "That's why we couldn't see it." "They hid it in plain sight." "Maybe "X" does mark the spot." "¶ ¶" "¶ ¶" "Holy ground!" "A sacred space!" "It makes perfect sense they would bury it in a church." "Church was a safe place for the knights." "And they had every reason to believe it would be around for hundreds of years." "So we found it!" "I mean, maybe." "Maybe we found it." "Maybe we found approximately where it is." "We still don't know what it is." "We got to find out." "We've come this far." "We can't stop now." "Five out of the seven keys?" "I'm going with you." "Ich spreche Deutsch, man." "You don't." "You're gonna need me." "He's right, Nick." "Can't do this alone." "I'll be fine." "Wait, wait, wait, what if Black Claw knows about the keys and knew they were in the trunk?" "Black Claw doesn't know we have the trunk, and the guys they sent to find it are dead." "But the trunk did belong to Josef Nebojsa, whose distant relative was a knighted Crusader." "And a Grimm." "And since it was seven Grimm knights who buried whatever it is they buried..." "Black Claw could know about it." "Exactly, so we should go sooner than later." "Hey, you guys can't travel under your real names." "Black Claw knows about you and Monroe." "To be safe, you can't go as you." "I know somebody who could get you fake passports." "Better than coming from us." " So when do we go?" " Tomorrow." "First flight we can get." "What are you gonna tell Adalind?" "The truth." "Looks like we're going on a crusade." "These keys lead to nothing but death." "You and I both know that." "There are a lot of powerful people who will do anything to get their hands on these." " Adalind, I..." " It's not worth it!" "This is a fantasy someone had 800 years ago." "This might be a waste of my time, but I have to go." "My aunt gave me one of these keys." "She believed in it." "It almost cost her her life." "And I owe it to her." "You." "I probably owe it to her too." "Monroe's going with me." "Rosalee will be here with you and Kelly while I'm gone." "When are you leaving?" "Tomorrow." "Look, I know you're worried." " Yeah, I am." " But you're probably right." "It's probably nothing." "What if I'm wrong?" "What if what they buried is something evil, something they never wanted found, and for good reason?" "Well, then they wouldn't have made a map." "They would have just destroyed it." "What if it couldn't be destroyed?" "Then they would have just buried it." "I know I can't keep you from going." "It's something you have to do." "But I also know there's a chance that you won't come back." "Adalind..." "And I can't let you go without you knowing how I feel about you." "And I don't care if this is a mistake." "I love you." "Hanano's been here a few days." "If he's moving, a camera should have picked him up by now." "What's going on?" "We haven't been able to locate him." "No other sightings of Marwan Hanano since he arrived in Portland." "Guy looks different in every photo." "He's gonna be tough to find." "We need to know why he's here." "Every place he goes," "London, Kiev, Osaka, people die." "If Black Claw brought him to Portland, it's not for a vacation." "They could know about you." "You could be the target." "It's possible." "Then the sooner I find him, the better." "I got it." " Right here." " Got it." "Go, go!" "C'mon, man!" "Yo, a little help?" "Right here." "Take it." "All right, let's go." "Let's go!" " Where is he?" " He'll be here." " I don't like waiting." " Leave it." " He doesn't need a gun." " Target has to be shot." "Why?" "It can't look Wesen." "That's not my problem." "I'm out of here." "You shouldn't get so excited." "People who get excited make mistakes, then people die." "Lucien." "Marwan." "Open it." ".22 caliber?" "It's what you asked for." "Extra narrow 20-inch synthetic barrel, bolt action, threaded muzzle, aluminum sound suppressor, six times scope." "I'll put it together for you." "No, you won't." "If you made a mistake, I'll find it." "I don't need a scope." "Heeled bullets?" "I made 'em." "One box." "I only need one." "What are you doing?" "Seeing if you're any good." "Are you crazy?" "You kill someone, and the cops are gonna be all over this." "Don 't." "Not here." "What the hell?" "It'll do." "I hope you brought the key, Nick." "Hank doesn't have much more time." "Would have thought he meant more to you than that." "See you at the funeral, Nick." "I'll be sure to cry." "Adalind, I think it's time we settle our differences." "Violently." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Really?" "Are you?" "If anyone had said what we did last night was even a possibility, given how we met..." "No, I wouldn't have believed them either." "Everything in our lives is so complicated, but last night, that all kind of went away." "At least for a little while." "Trubel." "Nick, I got to show you something." "Where are you?" "His name's Marwan Hanano." "He works for Black Claw." "We don't know much about him, but we've connected him to a bombing in London, a riot in Kiev, and a building fire in Osaka, all in the last year." "He arrived a few days ago at PDX on a flight that originated from Quito, Ecuador." "Why is he here?" "We don't know." "We haven't been able to find him." "This guy stays under the radar." "Meisner thinks he might be here on assignment." "Just wanted to let you know." "And that's all we have on him, which, honestly, isn't much." "Hey, Rosalee?" "Hey, Nick." "Wu got you and Monroe on the 8:55 p.m. flight to Stuttgart with one stop in Frankfurt." "And Stuttgart's only, like, a two hour ride to Wolfach." "But you have the passports?" " She got 'em." " I can be there at 5:00." "We are on a flight out tonight." "Okay." "Wish I was going with you." "Someone's got to find this guy." "Gonna make sure this goes out." "Is Marwan Hanano his real name or an alias?" "We don't know." "How'd you get this information?" "Meisner." "He wanted us to be aware of it." "We got a Wesen terrorist, working for Black Claw, loose in Portland." "We don't know where he is, what he wants, or who his contacts are." "I'm assuming Meisner wants us to find him so H.W. can deal with him." "Basically, yeah." "All right, put out an APB but strictly a find and follow." "Do not engage." "Report contact only." "You know how to contact Meisner?" " We do." " Let's find this guy." "Yes, sir." "Hey, look, I'm gonna be off the grid for a couple of days." "Anything I need to know?" "I don't know yet." "Okay." "So what is the charge on this Marwan guy for the APB?" "Murder suspect." "Keep it local." "Don't let the Feds in on this one." "Look, I'm out of here tonight, so I'm gonna have to dump this one on you guys." "We got you." "Hey, Nick, you be careful over there." "What he said." "Will do." "You got to take care of Mommy while I'm gone." "Here." "You better come back." "I will." "'Cause I don't want to have to explain to him why you didn't." "¶ ¶" "Hey, Nick, come on in." "He's almost ready." "I did a little more research on those churches near Wolfach in the Black Forest." "There are ten all together, but only three of those are Catholic." "And it has to be Catholic, because Martin Luther didn't nail his "Ninety-Five Theses"" "onto the door of the All Saints Church in Wittenberg until October 31, 1517." "So all the other churches are way too young." "Well, then those are what we'll start with." "And I have your passports." "I'm travelling under my uncle's name," "Felix Dietrich." "And you're traveling under my brother's name," "Frederick Calvert." "This is really good for something completely illegal." "Thanks." "Well, guess we should hit it." "I'll just put that stuff in the car for you." "You better be damn careful." "I will." "I love you." " You're welcome." " Hey." "I'll have a..." "Hey, check it out." "I think that's him, over at the food cart." "I can't tell from here." "Are you sure?" " Close enough." "Let's go." " It's a find and follow." "It says not to engage." "Call it in." "I'll stay with him." "Possible suspect sighting." "Northwest 12th and Johnson." "Officer Fogel en route." "Two bicycle cops just spotted Marwan." " Where?" " Lovejoy Fountain Park." "¶ ¶" "Flight 11 arriving from Paris." "Man, I haven't been in the Black Forest since I was, like, 25." "We used to come here every couple years when I was a kid." "My family hunted here for, like, hundreds of years." "And when you say hunted, you mean..." "You know." "Lots of stuff." "Yeah." "I've got something." "APB just came in." "Hanano was spotted near Lovejoy Fountain Park." "Did they take any action?" "No, but it looks like Marwan did." "There's a report of a cop being attacked four blocks away." "His partner is the one who responded to the APB." "Did he kill the cop?" "No, reported as an assault." "Bring up all surveillance in the vicinity." "Let's figure out where this guy went." " Where's the officer?" " Right over there." "What happened?" "My partner Officer Fogel spotted the suspect." "Followed while I called it in." "When I couldn't get Fogel on the radio, I started looking, and by the time I got here, Fogel was covered in blood." "Did he describe his attacker?" "He was yelling about some monster thing attacking him." "I mean, he was obviously in shock." "Did you see the suspect you were following leave the area?" "No, he was already gone when I got here." "Is this the man you saw?" "That's the guy we were following." "I don't know if that's who attacked my partner." "I'd really like to get to the hospital to check on him if that's all right." "Yeah, go ahead." "Marwan must have known he was made." "Why didn't Marwan kill Fogel?" "That would put the whole city on him." "Start checking surveillance." "We really need you to come out for this, Lindsay." "Your support is very important to us." "That would be fantastic." "See you then." "I'm glad you're here." "I just got the head of the teacher's union to agree to show up this afternoon." "Well, that's a coup." "Have you seen the news?" "Our opponent's little indiscretion has been playing on every channel since the story broke, and we're up four points because of you." "Well, not because of me." "He dug his own grave." "I just provided the shovel." " And the dirt." " Well, that too." "After you introduce Dixon today, don't leave the stage." "I don't want it to look like I'm trying to hog the limelight." "You aren't." "Standing side by side with Dixon gives people confidence, and that gives us votes." "By the way, here's a few points we'd like to include in your intro." "Guess I better read this." "Yeah, you better." "Hey, Rachel, can you come take a look at this?" "I think they're putting the banners in the wrong place." "No, no, no, not there." "The other side." "Renard." "We got a hit on Marwan." "We checked it out." "He assaulted a rookie officer out of the North Precinct that made him." " How's the officer?" " In the hospital." "They got him sedated." "He'll live, but he was freaking out about seeing a monster." "So he woged and let him live?" "Any idea why he was in the area?" "No." "Find this guy." "We'll be there before midnight." "Just make sure you're ready to go." "We won't have a lot of time." "I was made." "I'll call you back." "They were looking for me." "How did that happen?" " I don't know." " I should kill you." "This is your fault." "If you got made, it's your screw up." "They knew I was here." "Even if they know you're here, they don't know why." "We'll do it later." "We can't." "Too much depends on this now." "This has to be done." "You'll be out of the country before morning." "Once we find whatever it is we're looking for, then what?" "Depends on what we find." "What if it's something that used to be important back then, but isn't a very big deal now?" "You know?" "Like eyeglasses." "Eyeglasses?" "Did you know the first pair of eyeglasses was invented in the 13th century?" " I did not." " But the thing is, nobody knows who actually invented them." "I mean, the idea of magnifying an image using a convex lens, that goes way back, but the poor guy who created the first, like, wearable pair, gets no credit." "I don't think we're looking for eyeglasses." "Well, that's good, 'cause I can never find mine." "This is a nice-looking little dorf." "I slept with Adalind." "What?" "I just thought I should tell you." "Okay." "I mean, it's not like you haven't slept with her before, but this time you, like, actually knew it was her." "So that probably made it different." "I mean, did it?" "The first time I slept with Adalind" "I thought it was Juliette, and when I slept with Adalind the other time, it actually was Juliette, and this time I was with the mother of my child." "So, yeah, I would say it was very different." "She's changed so much." "Yeah, she has." "I just hope she stays that way." "Do you think you're in love with her?" "I don't know." "That's the church." "Yeah, I think it is." "Make a left." "Well, this is the closest Catholic church to what's on the map." "Looks kind of newer than I expected." "Well, they've obviously done a few renovations." "Well, if they've done renovations, they might have already found what we're looking for." "Let's see if there's someone to talk to." "Man, empty churches really give me the creeps." "I always feel like I'm being observed by someone who's not really there." "Hey, you never know." "Well, I'll tell you one thing, if this church was originally built in the 13th century, whatever we're looking for has got to be underneath, because this is way too new." "Hallo?" "Bitte?" "I don't think he can hear you." "Hallo." "Hallo?" "Eek!" "Ein Grimm." "Ein Grimm!" "He just totally made you as a Grimm." "I am so sorry." "Did Gottlob startle you?" "He is a dedicated sacristan, but he cannot hear anything and he frightens easily." "You are Americans, yeah?" "Yes, I'm Nick..." "Frederick Calvert." "Felix Dietrich." "Wie ghet es ihnen." "Sie sprechen Deutsch." "Ein kleines bisschen." "But English is easier." "So English it is." "How can I help you?" "Are you here for confession, or just to look?" "We're just checking out the sights of Wolfach, looking at some of the old architecture in the Black Forest." "With a particular interest in some of the older churches." "Ja, ja." "It is a beautiful area with many beautiful churches." "Please, enjoy your time in the Schwarzwald." "Could you tell us how old this church is?" "Saint Laurentius was built in 1594." "It is the oldest church in Wolfach, and as you can see, it still retains some of the original style." "I'm sorry, 1594?" "We thought this church was older than that." "Are there any older churches in the area?" "Yeah, something more Gothic, you know?" "With the pointed arches and the ribbed vaults, maybe a flying buttress?" "You are talking about something from the time of the Crusades." " Yeah, we love that stuff." " I am sorry." "You will not find anything that old near here." "Well, thank you for your time." "Enjoy our village, and you are welcome any time." "Danke schon." "Well, we're only off by, like, 300 years." "Church didn't even exist during the Fourth Crusade." "But this is the church that's closest to the one on the map." "Then we obviously made a mistake." "We got to look at the map again." "All right, I know this map isn't even, like, close to scale, but it clearly shows a church existed here during the 13th century." "The map is two-dimensional." "Yeah, so?" "So we're imagining the cross to be on top of the church." "That's usually how they're built." "What if the cross, or "X", really does just mark the spot?" "Meaning the spot would be further away from Wolfach than the church looks on the map." "Closer to the confluence of these two rivers." "Okay, that means we're in the wrong place." "We need to look at the other map." "All right, this mountain lines up with that mountain, and the confluence of the Wolf and the Kinzig rivers is right in the middle of town." "And that cross lines up with the top of that hill, that's not too far out of town." "That makes sense, right?" "Build a church on the high ground above the village, before there even was a village." "But if there was this ancient church, somebody would have known about it." "Right, and that priest didn't say anything." "Well, maybe we're not looking for a church." "Maybe they just..." "buried it on top of a hill." "Well, if we're gonna get out there, we better leave soon." "It's about to get dark." "We're gonna need a shovel and a couple of lanterns." "Into the woods we go." "¶ ¶" "Amen." "Okay, so bear right here, and then right before this bend, pull over." "About four kilometers up thataway should put us at the top of the hill." "Let's go find it." "What if it's, like, the Ark of the Covenant, or the Holy Grail, or, I don't know, the Ten Commandments or something?" "Why would they bury the Ten Commandments?" "I don't know." "Maybe there's other commandments we know nothing about." "Look at this turnout!" "This is what I'm talking about, Portland!" "This is the kind of support that will help make this city great." "So on election day, tell your friends." "Tell your coworkers." "Tell anyone who loves this city to get out there and vote for Andrew Dixon." "Let's make our voices heard!" "¶ ¶" "Just a sec." "Who is it?" "I'm right in the middle of work." "What is it?" "This will just take a minute." "Is there anyone else home?" "No." "Whatever it is you're selling," "I'm not interested." "This one's free." "Marwan attacked a cop in broad daylight." "Why?" "Because he recognized him." "But why was Marwan there in the first place?" "All this guy's attacks happened during major political upheavals." "The bombing in London, the riot in Kiev..." "He must have scouted those locations first." "Well, so maybe he was scouting." "And he likes crowds." "What's in the area?" "Train station's too far." "You got the shopping district, movie theater, the park." "Park." "Isn't the rally there today?" "Yeah, but a political rally for a mayor in Portland?" "Little on the small side for this guy." "Unless his target is somebody in the crowd." "All right, rally's about to start." "It's too late to stop it." "Hey, listen, we could be wrong." "Let's hope, but I'm calling the Captain." "You've reached Captain Sean." "Voicemail." "Let's get out there." "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" " Look at this." " What is it?" "Hanano." "Seven minutes ago." "He dyed his hair." " He knows he's been made." " Maybe he's on the move." "Let's see where he might be going." "Mark his radius." "20 miles an hour is about as fast as he's gonna ride." "Mark it in ten-minute intervals." "That's where he attacked the cop this morning." "He's headed back in the same direction." "Let's find out what's happening in that area." "And now, to introduce the next mayor of Portland, Police Captain Sean Renard." "Thank you." "Okay, I know you're all been waiting to hear from this guy, but before I hand over the microphone." "I just want to say a few words." "Now, for years I've worked alongside council member Andrew Dixon, but in the last few months," "I really got to know Andrew Dixon the man." "I've witnessed firsthand his integrity under pressure, his passion for our city, and the sacrifices that he's made to make this city a better place for all of us." "And I can tell you that his insight into the real issues that we face, his ability to find common-sense solutions, and his unwavering commitment to address the needs of every single community in this city is exactly what Portland needs." "Ladies and gentleman, it's my pleasure to introduce to you my good friend, and Portland's next mayor, Andrew Dixon." "Thank you, Sean." "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "And thank all of you for coming out today." "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Dixon!" "Did you know that between 1524 and 1526 over 100,000 German peasants were killed in these woods?" "I did not." "Does that surprise you?" "No." "I guess not." "It was called the German Peasants' War." "Peasants were being treated like crap, so they invoked divine law, demanding freedom from the oppression of their landlords and the nobles." "So they fled into these woods for safety, but they all ended up getting slaughtered anyway." "Imagine, the ground we're walking on was once soaked with the blood of these poor bastards." " Yeah, you don't say." " Don't you half-expect their ghosts to rise from the ground as we..." "Can you stop?" "I think we're getting close." "Sorry." "There's a rally today." " When?" " Now." "There will be a crowd." "I'm going." "If he's there, don't engage." " What if he has a bomb?" " Well, do what you have to, but we need everyone he's connected to." "No." "You got another job." " Where?" " Santiago." "Pack your bags." "You're out of here in 30." "They'll fill you in when you get there." " You need me here." " They need you there more." "I grew up 20 minutes from where we're standing." "I have a bone-deep understanding of the challenges that we face every day." " Yeah!" " And that's why we've worked with the city legislature to propose bond measures that fund an infrastructure..." "If he's got a device, it's gonna be in a backpack or a briefcase." "And sustainable growth." "One that preserves and increases affordable low-income housing." "We have worked with the banking community to cut through the red tape that sabotages the process of becoming a small-business owner, fighting for legislation that incentivizes the banks and the credit unions to loan to new businesses." "As your next mayor, I will make Portland a city that shines as an example of what can be accomplished when people are given the opportunity to truly succeed, and that success, real success, will come from the genuine desire" "to see your neighbors, as well as yourselves, thrive." "Portland is a great place." "I say we work together to make it even greater." "¶ ¶" " What happened?" " Shot him!" " Hey!" "Hey!" " No!" "My God!" "We've got an active shooter," "Lovejoy Fountain Park, one victim." "All available units." "I repeat, all available units!" "Andy." "Andy!" "Everybody, move out of the way." "Paramedics!" "Andy, come on." "Stay with me, Andy." " Over here!" " Look at me." "Andy?" "Well, this is the top, and there's nothing here." "Well, there's more trees." "Take a look at that map again." "Good old GPS puts us exactly where "X" supposedly marks the spot." "Well, we're dealing with a very old "X."" "Hold on." "There's a lot of rocks over here." "Does that look weird to you?" "What?" "Those rocks look like they're lined up." "This is like a..." "some kind of pattern?" "Yeah." "Looks like kind of a rectangle." "It's like some kind of Stonehenge thing." "Dude, that is not a normal rock." "It's squared off." "You think it could've been a foundation?" "I mean, it's just sunk into the ground at an odd angle." "Maybe it's what's left of the church." "Well, if it's squared off on all sides, it's got to be." "All right, see if you can pry it up." "¶ ¶" "¶ ¶" "Okay, here we go." "It's loose." "There, look at that." "Chisel marks." "That is definitely a foundation stone." "Let's check out the other stones." "You feel that?" "It sounds like we might have dislodged something." " Nick, the ground." " We should go... aah!"

"This is my home." "My son picked up that parcel." "My job to keep this stuff outside the house, not let it in the door." "I let 'em down." "It's Mary Bousfield's kidney." "Half of it." "Half?" "Jesus." "Get it off my table!" "This letter came with the package." "It's handwritten, addressed to you." "I think it's safe to assume it's from the killer." "What's it say?" "It says," ""Mr Miles, sir," "I send you half the kidney I took from one woman, reserved it for you."" ""The other piece I fried and ate." "It was very nice."" ""I may send you the bloody knife that took it out if you only wait a while longer."" ""Catch me when you can."" "Exactly the same as what the Ripper wrote." "What?" "I've done my research as well, you know." "Handwriting's unusual, the way he's shaped the letters." "It's eastern European." "I've done a lot of courses." "A woman was murdered in one of your vans." "We need to find the driver." "With all due respect, Mr Maduro, you don't have a filing system." "If you can't help we'll get the VAT man." "He'll have this sorted in no time." "No!" "No!" "VAT - not necessary!" "I need a secretary, but how do I ask someone to work in this place?" "Ah - no, I have a filing system!" "Please, let me think!" "Mr Maduro..." "It is coming to me!" "The night before last, you say." "KFC." "I have many drivers." "All hard workers, you know." "Poles, Albanians - you know what I'm saying." "That's off the books, then?" "Everyone wants cash, don't they?" "Ha!" "KFC." "Ha." "I told you I have system." "Driver's name will be in there." "We're going to release Buchan." "No no no!" "Charge him." "How?" "We've no evidence of collusion." "I'll think of something." "We believe the killer relies on him for advice." "Mary Kelly is his most complex murder." "He'll have questions." "We give him his mentor back - let him get in touch." "Fine." "We put him on surveillance." "PHONE RINGS" "DI Chandler." "I've got a name for the driver of the van, sir." "Works at the hospital." "Have you got a pen?" "I'll have to spell it." "'Go ahead.' Anthony Pricha." "Buchan - out." "Am I free?" "Yeah." "I failed you all." "I failed poor Mary, failed the inquiry - failed all those who had faith in me." "Oh, shut up." "Dr Cohen, this is DS Miles." "Do you have a minute?" "Yeah, but if this is about Emma Jones, you should talk to Dr Phillips." "He treated her when she came in." "John, this is DI Chandler, the detective I was telling you about." "I'm afraid Emma Jones is still in a coma." "But I'd be happy to help if I can." "We're looking for a porter, Anthony Pricha." "The morgue man?" "The morgue man?" "I'll show you where to find him." "Hello?" "Great." "He's not here." "Wait a moment." "This is Anthony Pricha." "So you're the morgue man?" "You must enjoy the company of the dead." "The dead..." "I don't care." "I want to sleep." "'You're 23, is that right?" "' 'Yes.'" "(Phew...) Well, I don't look too good for my age, but come on. 23?" "What the hell you been playing at, son?" "I lived through a war." "In Kosovo?" "Yes." "And I..." "I..." "I see my family killed." "I see my house burned." "I am shot." "For them, I'm dead man." "But I live." "I come to England." "I work." "I eat." "But I am dead man." "You must get flashbacks." "Nightmares." "I bet sometimes you feel like you're going to explode." "So what do you do then?" "Do you go and look for a woman?" "For woman, you need time." "You need money." "Why waste time and money, eh?" "You can do what you like once they're dead." "Hmph!" "I don't know what you say to me." "How long have you worked for AC Maduro Health Safety?" "I no work there." "Driving vans, for Mr Maduro?" "I do not know Mr Maduro." "Well, he knows you." "He hired you." "No." "Not me." "All right, Anthony." "Tell me about the work you do." "'I work in hospital.'" "I work in kitchen in Brick Lane." "Sometimes I work in factory, but it's no good there I think." "They do not always pay." "But Maduro pays, cash in hand." "I do not know him." "If I know him, I tell you." "Have you heard of Jack the Ripper?" "The experts reckon he was a foreign fella like yourself." "I no work for Maduro." "No work for Jack." "There's a Russian." "He knows where to get jobs, but he's bad man I think." "You're going to stop with all this helpless asylum-seeker crap and start answering the bloody questions, or you'll regret the day you set foot in this country." "My mother is dead." "My father is dead." "My brother, my sisters are dead." "What can you do to me?" "I have nothing for you to take!" "We need Maduro to ID Pricha, and get past this whole pretence of him not knowing about the van." "I'll fetch him myself." "McCormack, trace the parcel." "See if anyone remembers Pricha sending it to Miles." "Guv." "I hate witnesses." "Necessary evil." "They're all boss-eyed, with memories like goldfish." "Can't make a case without them." "OK." "Take your time." "Look at each man carefully." "When you're satisfied, tell me which man you hired to drive for your company." "Uh, you made a mistake." "Is the wrong line-up." "Anthony is not even there." "Yeah, I remember that parcel." "Really?" "Well, I remember HIM." "I KNEW he was up to something." "You can tell, innit?" "Ugh, didn't like him at all." "He made me think of the devil." "What do you mean, the devil?" "Like an evil presence, you know?" "Ugh!" "He has this parcel, and he wants to know is first-class post 100% reliable." "He doesn't want his parcel to go missing." "I tell him about recorded delivery, he don't want to know." "I say," ""You've got legs - why not walk it?" "It's only round the corner, innit?"" "I didn't see why he had to post it when he could have easily taken it." "Can you describe this man?" "5'9", medium build, not fat or nothing, um...staring eyes, like a wolf." "He had a hat on, one of those blue felt ones with a little peak." "Big moustache." "I thought maybe he wasn't English, but he sounded OK." "And the colour of his hair?" "His eyes?" "Dark." "Very dark." "All over." "You mean black?" "I mean his aura." "So if you saw him again, would you recognise him?" "Yes, I would." "Want to see him?" "We have CCTV." "I don't believe this." "That's fantastic, Mrs Buki." "I wish all witnesses were like you." "No, not him." "It's further on, actually." "That's him." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "That's who gave me the parcel." "See?" "That moustache and the hat?" "Stop." "That's the man I hire." "That's Anthony." "The killer stole Pricha's identity and used false documents to obtain a job at AC Maduro Health Safety." "The Anthony Pricha we arrested had no idea his ID had been taken." "He's a genuine refugee, and has no connection to the murders." "THIS is the man who sent half of Mary Bousfield's kidney to DS Miles." "THIS...is the man Mr Maduro hired." "It's the same man." "This is our killer." "I know him!" "I mean, I've seen him before." "Get the mug books." "Find him." "I've seen him." "I know it." "I remember those eyes." "They gave me the creeps." "Give him some air!" "Take your time." "Look at one face at a time." "Saw his face recently." "There was a picture..." "I know him." "I just know it." "I..." "Is that him?" "Yeah!" "Yeah, that's him." "That's Severin Klosowski, hanged 1903 for poisoning his wife." "Oh no." "Abberline, the detective who chased the Ripper, said he was the one." "We're not getting any closer to this guy, and he knows it." "Sorry, sir." "Oh, it's all right." "Be on Traffic tomorrow." "Nothing remains of no.29 Hanbury Street." "And this is as close as we can get to where the body of Annie Chapman was found in the back yard." "Annie Chapman had three children," "Emily Ruth, Annie Georgina and John." "Poor John was a cripple, and Emily died of meningitis." "Annie took to drink, and her marriage fell apart " "Oh, get to the murder!" "ALL:" "Yes!" "Isn't it enough for you that the poor woman died?" "The New Ripper's been killing them round here." "Why don't you take us to those murder sites?" "At least they exist!" "Yeah!" "Come on!" "This is a classic Ripper tour." "Where's your decency, your compassion?" "What?" "Murder is not entertainment!" "Go home." "Crawl back under your rocks!" "Show us the murder sites!" "No." "I'm sorry." "I can't do this any more." "At least give us our money back." "We paid our money!" "Here!" "Come back!" "'Police have come under fire for being slow to react to the spate of Jack the Ripper copycat murders in the east end.'" "'Fear has gripped Whitechapel...'" "'It's one week since Mary Bousfield, a community support officer, was found murdered in Mitre Square, thought to be the third victim of the Jack the Ripper copycat...'" "'..waiting game, if they are right about the theory...'" "'..according to leading Ripper experts, the final murder will take place on November 9.'" "'All the police know is that the victim will have red hair and the murder will be acted out in London's east end.'" ""The Ripper destroyed her face." "He cut off her breasts, gutted her and stripped the skin from her thighs."" ""Mary's heart was cut out and never found."" "'..police are now...' '..happen anywhere, and police are no nearer to pinpointing where.'" ""All we know is this."" ""Mary Kelly had long red hair, and her last meal consisted of fish and potatoes."" "'Public concern focuses on the lack of perceived police presence in the east end...' 'Police are under enormous pressure to catch the killer before he strikes again...'" "Where's McCormack?" "Interviewing his third Ripper of the day." "All the loonies are confessing." "I know." "Sanders is on the Buchan shift." "Everyone else is out interviewing Mary Bousfield's friends." "The DI seems to be living here." "D'you think he's all right?" "No." "I know what you need." "You got to eat." "You got to focus." "You got to eat." "What, you got no appetite?" "We've got two days until he copies the murder of Mary Kelly." "I've been out all night, retracing his steps, over and over, trying to work out how he's going to do it." "Well, this murder could happen anywhere, in any flat." "She was torn apart." "He completely... he completely ripped her to pieces." "You were right about me." "All PR and paperwork." "I can't hide it any more." "I'm" " I'm not up to it." "I don't think there's one of us that finds it easy." "When we're at the scene, we get on with it." "There's a process." "We're trained." "But once we're on our own, it's different." "McCormack dreams of his perfect pub." "Sanders takes his kids out." "He thinks we don't know, but Kent has a little cry in the bogs or the car park." "You say you're not up to it." "Being up to it has got nothing to do with the dead." "Being up to it's turning up next morning at 9:00am no matter what." "So eat up, sir." "What about you?" "What do you do?" "When I get home I go straight down to my garden, to my pond." "I've got a nice bit of seating there, away from the house, a bit of privacy, and I feed my fish." "I got carp, real beauties." "They come up, take the food out of my hand." "Them fish save me, my job, my marriage." "You want to get yourself some fish." "Better than crying in car parks." "Thank you all for coming." "Glad you made it, sir." "For some time..." "Thought you should see this." "What's happening?" "as the world's premier expert..." "It's not a Ripper tour." "It's something else." "Many of you have read my best-selling book" "Like other authorities on Jack, I have long believed that Mary Kelly was the last victim of the Ripper." "Well," "I was wrong." "I would like it to be known that in my expert opinion," "Mary Kelly was NOT murdered by the Ripper." "Kelly was murdered in her lodgings on her bed, but Jack always killed in the street." "Mary was torn to pieces in a frenzy, but Jack always had an objective and he was controlled." "I believe Catherine Eddowes was Jack's last victim, here in Mitre Square." "After her, there were no more Ripper killings." "Do you truly believe that?" "I'm prepared to destroy my life's work and start again, such is the force of my conviction." "He's lost the plot." "No." "I know what he's doing." "Are you going to be OK?" "Mm." "That's all I could think of to stop him." "It's not much, but it's all I've got." "There's still your inquiry, though." "Well, nobody else wants my job." "They just want to stand back and watch me go down in flames." "Tell me, Joe, who do you think was Jack the Ripper?" "What does it matter?" "I'm serious." "If you can't decide who the Ripper is, how will you catch YOUR killer?" "It's completely irrelevant." "Well, the killer's decided who the Ripper was." "You've got to see things through his eyes." "This is your last chance." "Who killed Mary Kelly?" "I've done all I can, Joe." "It's down to you now." "Oh, lovely!" "Oh, look at that!" "It's a board game!" "It's like a game, and helpful to the inquiry." "We'll play it!" "Happy birthday, Skip." "I'll get it." "Hey, give him a beer." "Joe!" "Lovely." "Come in." "Did you come on your own?" "Yeah." "Happy birthday." "Thanks!" "Well, you could have brought a friend, or a...partner." "You think I'm gay?" "Wouldn't matter if you were." "I'm not gay." "No." "Well, no one is on the Job, obviously." "But don't you worry." "My boys are above all that." "I appreciate your openness and inclusivity!" "Come and have a drink, and thanks for the fish food." "Very thoughtful." "He's obviously covering his tracks." "Buchan's trying to prevent a murder by convincing the killer Mary Kelly never happened." "You can't change history." "He's trying to save a life." "You should have seen him burning his books." "He was gutted." "You may have to change your mind about Buchan." "Irritating, interfering, pompous " "I thought you'd appreciate the importance of a man's reputation, and what it costs him when he loses it." "Buchan's destroyed a name he took 20 years to build." "That means something." "Yeah, all right." "Maybe he didn't know who he was talking to on the website." "He's an unwitting accomplice." "Yeah, all right." "So if Buchan doesn't lead to the killer... ..where does that leave us?" "I mean, the next killing's tomorrow night." "I'm going to check on my fish." "Beer?" "Oh, cheers." "Cheers." "If you'd been a copper back then, if you were Abberline, who would you fancy for the Ripper?" "Yeah, I've thought about that a lot." "Yeah, me too." "What if the original Jack was also wearing disguises?" "What if Jack was a woman?" "A crazed abortionist, stealing uteruses?" "Yeah, that's likely." "Nurses make great serial killers." "Jill the Ripper." "(Ha!" ")" "Can't have kids herself, so she steals women's wombs, stops them from having what she can't have." "No." "Women poison, or they shoot." "Their victims are usually the very young or the very old." "All right then." "Whodunit?" "Well, I think Jack would have been in his thirties." "He was local, lived alone, probably in the area where the murderers took place." "He was a labourer, shabbily dressed, well known to the prostitutes, who trusted him." "He knew two victims quite well, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Kelly, since he mutilated their faces." "OK." "You've given me a profile." "So now give me a name." "George Hutchinson." "A witness saw him with Mary Kelly before she died." "After that witness gave her statement, Hutchinson gave another, saying he'd seen her going off with another man." "Hutchinson's statement was incredibly detailed, even down to the man's horseshoe-shaped tiepin." "And we know what witnesses are like." "No memory, and boss-eyed." "He talked about the colour of the man's spats, the fact that he was carrying a parcel covered in American cloth, he remembered brown kid gloves - all at 2:00am, by an unlit passageway?" "Please." "He invented that man, without question, to avoid being the last person to see Mary Kelly alive." "Was Hutchinson ever a suspect?" "No." "The police believed his story about a posh man in an astrakhan coat." "They went looking for somebody quite unlike Hutchinson." "I still prefer my mad bird theory." "Fire Investigation have identified the accelerants used in the Wilkes St fire." "They took their bloody time." "Benzoin, phenyl, collodion." "That mean anything to you?" "Maduro had them in his vans!" "Come on." "Where to, Maduro's?" "No." "Wilkes Street." "I think the killer set fire to this building the night of the first murder, to set the right historical atmosphere." "But he had no blueprints to work from, no coroner's report." "He was improvising, so he might have made a mistake." "It says here there were three seats of fire." "There...there... ..and over there." "He knew what he was doing, then?" "No, just the opposite." "A professional arsonist would set one blaze and completely gut the building." "This guy didn't trust his tools." "He went belt and braces." "He set too many fires, which ate up all the oxygen in the room... ..and stopped the fire from spreading." "The killer stopped e-mailing Buchan after the first murder, didn't he?" "Yeah, the same night as the fire." "Well, I think I know why, then." "Could be the killer's computer." "Get this examined straight away." "Miles, we think we found the killer's computer, at Wilkes St. 'That's great, boss.'" "So are you coming in?" "'No." "I've something I need to do.'" "George Hutchinson lived in the Victoria Working Men's Home, at the epicenter of where the murders took place." "It's a block of flats now." "I'm going to knock on a few doors." "Call it my eureka moment." "He's had a eureka moment." "Don't go in without backup." "It's a rough estate." "I'll be fine, Mother." "We'd better go and hold his hand." "Yeah, man, who that?" "It's me, mate, innit?" "Excuse me?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Can I" " I was wondering " "Excuse me?" "Thanks for stopping." "Could I ask some questions about some of your neighbours?" "I'm down on whores, and I shan't quit ripping' 'em till I do...get...buckled." "Hm!" "What did you say?" "Ahh!" "Ohh..." "Oh, my God!" "Sir, you've got a head injury." "You need to go to hospital." "I'm not going anywhere." "You're as pretty as me now." "Not quite." "I didn't hit every step on the way down." "You ready, sir?" "Do it." "Bloody hell." "Miles!" "In here." "Jesus, Mary and Joseph." "Bloody hell." "Sir!" "There's more." "I can't believe this." "Oh, my God." "Bloody hell." "It's the leather apron." "Ugh..." "I want Socos in here now." "We need to go through every inch of this place." "It's all here." "Every last detail." "Is there anything about Mary Kelly?" "Nothing we don't know." "She lived in Miller's Court with a Joe Barnet." "Her last meal was fish and potatoes." "That's really going to help." "Miller's Court's over the road." "Not now." "It's a car park." "Well, what do you want me to say?" "All we know is he's going to rip her apart in her flat, on her bed, and recreate what happened " "The victim will have long red hair?" "Yeah." "Well, I think I've found her." "I've seen her before." "She's a nurse from the hospital." "Get her ID'd and under protection." "Go." "Now." "McCormack, go with him." "There must be something amongst all this that tells us who the guy is." "Excuse me, love?" "Excuse me." "Do you know this woman?" "I need to find her." "TV: '..physician, Aesclepius, who enraged the gods by bringing a dead man back to life.'" "'As punishment for this manmade miracle," "Zeus killed Aesclepius... ..but from respect for his ability, placed the dead physician's soul amongst the stars...'" "Oh, this is a nightmare." "There are dozens of birth certificates." "One of them must be his." "I don't recognise any names." "Yeah." "Kent?" "Her name is Frances Coles." "She's a midwife." "They've ID'd her." "Frances Coles, a midwife." "Have they made contact?" "Have you made contact?" "'She's not answering.' He can't get her on the phone." "'Her address is Clerkenwell Rd...'" "They've got an address." "Send a tactical unit." "Get Tactical." "We'll meet you there." "No!" "We need to find HIM." "The answer must be here somewhere." "The last murder will be tonight." "Something must point to who he is." "These are obviously false identities." "I think the real man disappeared years ago, and we're left with this." "As far as we're concerned, he's an unidentified person." "A John Doe." "John Doe?" "Oh my God!" "You know what the police called a John Doe of Jewish origin in 1888?" "What?" "David Cohen." "Who's David Cohen?" "Dr David Cohen!" "We can postpone if you like." "No, don't be silly." "Come in." "Sit down." "Make yourself at home." "I don't want to be alone tonight, anyway." "Where's John?" "Couldn't get away from AE." "Ah." "Typical." "He said to say sorry." "He wanted me to really look after you." "I really hope you like fish pie." "Mm!" "I love it." "Yeah." "We're just about to go in now, sir." "They're going in." "That was wonderful." "Thank you." "Great." "I'm glad you enjoyed it." "Where's your bathroom?" "It's through the bedroom and on the left." "I hope you like ice cream." "Any thoughts on music?" "Clear." "Clear?" "Clear." "All clear, boss." "Shit." "She's not here." "What do you mean?" "The flat's empty." "Search the flat for anything that might tell us where she is." "Mum, dad, brothers, sisters, boyfriends - whatever." "I want every address within a five-minute walk of where I am now." "She's close, I know it." "Just round the corner, just like Mary Kelly." "We need to look for an address where she might be." "Go!" "Yes, yes, yes!" "Kent!" "Got an address book, sir." "An address book." "NO!" "Somerford St?" "No." "No, no." "Nearer." "How about Leonard St?" "Leonard St?" "It's miles away." "Nearer than that!" "Hutchinson lived a stone's throw from Mary Kelly." "The address must be a street away." "'Like Wentworth St?" "'" "Wentworth or Dawes St. It's as near as that." "Come on, we're running out of time." "If we get this wrong, she's dead." "I've got one." "Got one." "Hang on a sec." "It's Bethnal Green." "Sorry." "Come here, you bitch!" "I've found one." "Could be a boyfriend, really close." "A man called John Phillips, 237 Chapel Wharf Buildings," "Flower and Dean St. Flower and Dean." "Spot on." "Got it!" "NO!" "How do you know she's going to be there?" "I know him now." "This is what he wants." "I can feel it, Miles." "Trust me." "All right." "Dr Phillips's flat." "237." "Fifth floor." "Who are you?" "Mph!" "Ohh..." "Hm!" "Gotcha, you bastard!" "Ahh!" "Ahh!" "Agh!" "Ohh!" "Check the girl." "I'm all right." "Check the girl." "Are you all right?" "(Yeah...)" "Are you sure?" "Miles, she's fine." "Miles?" "Miles?" "She's fine..." "Miles?" "Miles!" "Emergency assistance required." "DS Miles is down." "Suspect on the run." "He's wearing scrubs." "It's OK." "Just...just hang on." "Please." "Just hang on." "OK." "You're going to be OK." "You've failed." "With due respect, sir, I saved two lives." "That lunatic is still free." "How long till he kills again?" "What atrocities are still to come?" "He won't kill again." "Why should he stop?" "We don't even know who he is." "We know nothing about his real identity." "9 November is over." "He doesn't get another chance to kill a Mary Kelly." "He's failed." "Nothing left to live for." "He'll want to die and preserve his anonymity." "He wants to be a myth, like the first Jack." "I think if we monitor suicides in the capital over the next two weeks, he'll turn up." "Well, it's not your call any more." "You could have been great." "We had such ambition for you." "But now... ..I'm going to have to cut you loose." "Nothing but a DI." "Thank you." "Your mother said I'd find you here." "Hello, Joe." "How are you, Ed?" "I have to know." "You looked into his eyes." "What was he like?" "He was just a man." "And I'm always amazed at the evil men do." "Will you drink to her?" "Yes, of course." "To you, Mary." "What will you do now?" "Oh, my investigating days are not over." "Wherever there's a mystery, the unexplained, the whiff of conspiracy, I'll be there." "I'm you're the right man for the job." "Join me." "We'd make a great team." "Boss!" "We gotta go!" "Would you like a lift?" "No, no no." "You're very kind, but I prefer the bus." "You see all of human life that way." "It's not all serial killers and car chases and saving the girl, you know." "I know that." "Gangland murder." "Drug-related." "Domestic." "Aggravated burglary." "Knock on the head for no reason on a Friday night" " Whitechapel." "You up for that?" "I'm here, aren't I?" "Two tea bags and milk, Skip." "Green tea, sir." "Want a biscuit?" "They're wholemeal." "Help you think." "Ah, ha!" "All right, what have we got?" "Stab wound to the chest." "Looks like a mugging gone bad." "It might be." "Perhaps the killer wants us to dismiss it as a random attack, so we don't dig any deeper." "Oh, don't start." "Don't you have a nice desk to go to?" "No, I don't." "Let's go." "I mean, with the greatest respect, nine times out of ten, if it looks like a mugging, it's a mugging." "And if it looks like a domestic, it's a domestic." "But it wasn't last time, was it?" "No, fair enough, but the exception proves the rule." "And if this is an exception?" "transcript:chocolate sync:innuit"

"Previously on Smallville:" " I think Lex has a piece of the spaceship." " Are you sure?" "Roger Nixon." "I'm a journalist, and I'd like to write a story about you." " Whitney's going off to join the Marines." " Really?" "If you're gonna take me on, son you're gonna have to bring your game up to a whole different level." "Just promise me Saturday night's gonna be great." "It'll be a night you won't forget." "There's a whole lot more to your friend Clark Kent than meets the eye." "You'd better pray you're not wrong." "You're not my enemy." "You're my son." "I believe the term is, "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war."" " Lana's there." " Don't worry." "I'm sure she's home by now." "I'll tell the entire world about your son!" "Jonathan, look!" "Damn it!" "Help me!" "But he knows everything!" " I will not let him destroy this family." " No!" "Please!" "Jonathan!" "Clark!" "No!" "And now, the season premiere of Smallville." "Lex!" "I'm your father!" "Son!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "No!" "Nixon!" " Give me the camera!" " Get the hell away from me!" "Lana?" "Lana." "I need help!" "I need a doctor here!" " I need help." "Now." " What have we got?" "Pupils are responsive." "Respiration appears normal." "Got a good pulse." "She's gonna be all right." "Can you tell me her name?" "Mom!" "Dad!" "Mom?" "Mom!" "Mom!" " I'm gonna get you to a hospital." " No, Clark, listen to me." " That reporter was in the cellar." " Nixon?" "He videotaped the ship." "He's gonna expose your secret." " Your father chased him out into the storm." " I've gotta find them." "Mom?" "Where's the ship?" "There's swelling in his vertebrae, resulting in partial loss of nerve control in his legs." "His spleen is ruptured and he's sustained severe trauma to his optic nerve." "I want a medevac to Metropolis General." "I want a team of specialists." "Your father's critical." "Moving him is not an option." " This isn't just any patient." " I know who Lionel Luthor is." " I cannot give him any special treatment." " That's not what I meant." "He's my father." "Do everything you can for him." "Lex." "Lex." "Yeah, Dad, I'm here." "Don't worry." "I'll fly in specialists from Metropolis to personally supervise your case." "I saw it in your eyes, son what you were thinking." "Life would be so easy if I was out of your way." "Dad, I'm sorry." "Dad!" " Dad!" " He hasn't been back to the house!" "Did you call the sheriff?" "The hospital?" " The phones are down." " Dad grew up in tornado country." " The first thing he'd do is take shelter." " I don't know if he was thinking straight." "I've never seen your father that angry." "He said he wasn't gonna let Nixon destroy our family." "Do you think he...?" "No, he would never do that." "Oh, no!" "I won't say anything about your son, I swear to God!" "Please!" "Don't kill me!" "Oh, God." " Oh, God." "I thought you were gonna kill me." " Yeah, you would think that." " Hey, Dorothy, back from Oz?" " Chloe." "What are you doing?" "Shouldn't you be in bed?" "I'm okay." "The doctor says it's just a mild concussion." "Besides, a lot of people need this bed a lot more than I do." "Well, I'm just glad you're okay." "What happened?" "Well, I was driving back after dropping Whitney off, when the wind picked up." "This mailbox slammed against my windshield, and I went off the road." "That's when I saw the twisters." " Before I knew it, the truck was sucked up." " God." "You walked away with a small bump." "That's amazing, even by Smallville standards." " No, it's impossible." " What?" "Nothing." "The next thing I knew, I was waking up here." "So you clicked your heels, said, "There's no place like home," and ended up here." "Apparently Clark brought me in." " Clark?" " Yeah, have you seen him?" "No, not since he vanished from the dance." "I spent three hours looking for him." "Guess the Spring Formal was kind of a bust, huh?" "Yeah, well, at least now I know where he disappeared to." "If it's any consolation, you guys looked great together." "It's not, but thanks." "Dad?" "Clark, I ran into your mother at the hospital." "She told me about your dad." "I checked every acre of this place, I gotta head for the woods." "Clark." "My father was injured in the twister." "He's in pretty bad shape." " Lex, I'm sorry." "Is there anything I can do?" " It's in the doctor's hands now." "During the storm, my father was trapped beneath a column." "If I hadn't pulled him out, he would've died." "Before I did, I hesitated." "I was thinking that maybe my life would be better off if I just left him to die." " You saved him, that's the important part." " No." "My father won't see it that way." "Forgiveness is not in his emotional lexicon." "If anything, he'll probably see my saving him as a sign of weakness." "What are you gonna do?" "Help my friend find his dad." "You got another flashlight?" " Dad!" " Mr. Kent!" "Mr. Kent!" "Dad!" " Do you know whose car that is?" " No." "I think we can cover more ground if we split up." "Yeah." " I'll meet you back here in a half-hour." " Okay." "Great." "What are you doing?" "Looking for my cell phone." "It's our only hope." "The greatest story in human history, and I'm not gonna get a chance to write it." "Clark is not a story, he's my son." "And I'm not gonna let you sabotage his life while you make yourself famous." "Is that why you chased me?" "What were you planning on doing, Kent?" "Were you gonna bludgeon me and bury me in a shallow grave?" "You were trespassing on my property, and you tried to kill my son in that truck." "You have the most amazing being on Earth doing chores on your farm." "Why are you hiding him?" "Tell the world and let them see for themselves." "I think I should leave that up to him for when he's older." "Well, when do you suppose that'll be?" "Draft age?" "Drinking age?" "When he's ready." "Why don't you stop playing the protector and admit the truth." "You kept him because you couldn't have children of your own." "We kept him because he is our son and we love him." "He's not your son, you deluded hick!" "He's not even human." "You can kill me for saying this, but you know I'm right." "You're just a small man whose son's destiny is too big for you to comprehend." "Clark doesn't belong to you." "He belongs to the world." "Hello?" "Lex?" "Nixon?" "Where the hell are you?" "You stupid son of a bitch!" "I thought you wanted to get out of here!" "I did want out of here, till I realized you were in bed with Lex Luthor." "And I would rather rot down here than watch the two of you destroy my son's life!" "Nixon, you still there?" "Just calling the fire department so we can get a rescue team out here." "No, you weren't." "I heard you trying to talk to Roger Nixon." "He was at the farm today." "He was with my dad when the tornado hit." "Clark, I didn't know Nixon was involved." "Why should I believe you?" "You already lied about knowing him once." "That's the second time you've hesitated today." "Maybe what my dad said about you is true." "Clark, wait." " You're tired and upset." " Don't try to turn this around on me!" "Are you really here to find my dad, or to find Nixon?" " Do you even have to ask?" " I don't have time for this." " I've gotta find my dad." " Clark!" "Dad!" "I'll talk to the Red Cross people see if they have any new information about your father." "Clark." " Any luck?" " We looked all night." "The search-and-rescue team combed the farm but didn't find anything." "I don't know what to do, he's been missing for over 12 hours." "You'll find him, Clark." "I know it." "Thanks." " I thought you'd be home recuperating." " I wanted to help." "You know, a lot of people helped me out after the meteor shower." "Meant a lot." "I'm just glad you're okay." "So how did you find me?" "I was lucky, I guess." "You were in a field next to the road." "You must have been thrown free from the truck." "Is that really what happened?" "Yeah." "Why?" "I just keep seeing something that doesn't make any sense." "The truck was caught up in the tornado, and you..." "You just..." "Clark." "No new word." "I'd better get back to work." "You'll find him." "I'm gonna stay and work the phones." "If anybody's seen or found him, they'll call in." "They discovered an old couple trapped in their garage this morning." "So there's still hope." "Dad's missing because of me." "I brought this upon us." "You can't blame yourself." "You can't change who you are." "As long as you live, people will try to exploit you." "Your father and I have tried to shelter you as long as possible but one day we won't be there for you." "You'll have to carry the burden of your gifts on your own." " Don't say that, Mom." " When your day comes I have no doubt in my heart that you'll make us proud." "Now go back out there." "These old foundations, they mix lead in with the cement for stability." " Afraid we're gonna die of lead poisoning?" " Clark can't see through lead." "He can see through solid objects?" "Unbelievable." "What else can he do?" "Do you have any idea what I'd do with his abilities?" "The wealth, the power he could amass, it's unimaginable." "You are exactly the reason why I keep his abilities a secret." "If it wasn't me, it would've been someone else." "It was just a matter of time before the story got out." " Yeah." " The people have a right to know." "Without any regard to the consequences to my son." "Mr. Kent since the beginning of time, people have been looking at the stars, and wondering:" ""What's out there?"" "Clark is the answer that they have been waiting for." " I think I know a way out of here." " You gonna tell me what that is?" "You give me the tape of the ship, and I will." "That's not gonna happen." "It's your life or your story." "You've gotta decide which is more important to you." "I have." "You gonna share your plan with me?" "Feel that." "Go on." " The mortar's weaker here." " Yeah." "If we can get through here, I'm sure that we can tunnel up to the surface." " Clark." " What do you want?" "I should have come out and told you the truth right away." "I do know Roger Nixon." "I was just trying to protect you." "Protect me from what?" "Before the tornado, Nixon approached me." "He offered to sell me information about your family." " What kind of information?" " It doesn't matter." "He's a liar." "He'll do anything for a story." "I warned him to stay away from your family." "When I saw his car, I..." "I realized he might have had something to do with your father's disappearance." "Why didn't you tell me before?" "I didn't want to alarm you unless I knew for sure." "You know, Lex, I don't know what to believe anymore." "Believe that I'm your friend." "I've got something to show you." " What's that?" " It's a map." "A cellular frequency grid, to be exact." "I had my people look into it." "Only one cell tower survived the storm, meaning Nixon, and possibly your father had to be within a one-mile radius of where we were last night." "I don't know if it will help, but it's worth a shot." " Mr. Kent!" " Dad!" " Well, this is the edge of the grid." " There are no structures marked on the map." "Sorry, Clark." "Wait, what's that?" "The twister must have dropped it here." " He's not in here." " What are you, part bloodhound?" "Yeah." "How do you know?" "Mr. Kent!" "Dad!" "Mr. Kent!" " Did you hear that?" " It's the kids." "Chloe!" "Pete!" " Help!" " We're down here!" "They can't hear us!" "They can't." "I gotta keep on digging." "Go!" "Roger, take it easy!" "It's not stable down here." "I got your legs!" "Hang on!" "Did you hear something?" "Come on, let's start again." " Mr. Kent?" " Dad!" "Here we see a terrifying example of the tornado's fury." "This truck was literally ripped apart." "Incredibly, the young driver, Lana Lang, survived." "Reminding us that, even in the midst of utter devastation, miracles can happen." "It must have been awful for you." "Yeah." "I don't think I've ever been that scared in my entire life." "I'm glad you're all right." "Thanks for all your help, Mrs. Kent." " I know it must be hard for you right now." " I'm a saint." "I just can't believe how familiar all this feels." " The meteor shower?" " Yeah." "God." " I remember it like it was yesterday." " Yeah, me too." "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to dredge up bad memories." "It's okay." "For so long it seemed to define me." "That fairy princess picture on Time magazine." "Well, if it makes you feel any better, you made one wish come true that day." "Jonathan and I were in Nell's buying flowers, right before the meteor shower and you were sitting on the counter with your wings and wand and you asked me if I wanted to make a wish, so I did." "And not long after that, Clark came into our lives." "I've never even told Clark that story." "Clark is so lucky to have you and Mr. Kent as parents." "I've always been kind of envious." "You seem so open." "I'm glad that you and Clark have become close." "Yeah." "Me too." " Mr. Kent!" " Mr. Kent?" "Mr. Kent!" "Chloe?" "I've been wanting to apologize for leaving you at the formal." "Didn't I tell you that leaving in the middle of a tornado to save a friend totally gets you off the hook?" " Besides, I know you'd do the same for me." " Oh, in a heartbeat." "So how can I make it up to you?" "Actually, you know, I've been thinking." "It's funny how a natural disaster puts your life in perspective." "But I think it might be better if we just stay really good friends." "Anything other than that just gets too complicated." "Yeah." "Yeah, I think that's a good idea." " You do?" " Yeah." "Yeah, our friendship is so important to me, the last thing I want to do is screw it up." "Good." "Great." "Perfect." "I'm really glad we got that straightened out." "I'm gonna check over here." "Okay, I'll catch up in a sec." "My feet are throbbing." "Mr. Kent!" " Hey." " Hey." " What's up with the fake smile?" " Nothing." "Clark and I just reaffirmed that we're really good friends." "And nothing else." " Pulled the "friends" card on you, huh?" " No, I did." "Defense mechanism." "Listen, Chloe it's okay to feel bummed out." "Last night was supposed to be special and it got ruined." "It was just so close to being perfect." "Listen to me, I sound so pathetic." "A tornado hit, people are in real trouble and I'm upset because Clark didn't fulfill my wish-fulfillment fantasy." "You must think I'm an awful person." "Yeah, you're a real monster." "Come on." "I can't breathe." "The cave-in must have cut off the air supply." "Dying in a tomb, that's ironic." "At least you've got a legacy to leave behind." "That's something to be proud of." "First time Clark used his abilities he'd crawled under a big oak bed that my grandfather had made, and I..." "I crawled underneath to try and get him out, and then, all of a sudden, the..." "The frame just came up in the air." "He was a toddler lifting, I don't know what it was, 500 pounds over his head." "What did you do?" "We decided to take him to a doctor or a scientist." "Somebody more equipped to understand than we were." "But when we got in front of the office, Martha said that if we left him there that they would want to keep him, and we'd never see him again." "So I took him home." "Now, that may have been a mistake." "But it was a mistake I'd gladly make again." "Time is of the essence." "The spine may heal, but the optic nerve will get worse if it goes untreated." " So surgery's the only option." " No, I recommend against this." "I say, let the patient's condition stabilize before surgery is attempted." "Yes, surgery's risky, but the alternative could be worse." "It's your decision." "Do it." "Fine." "Where'd you get these maps?" "My mom borrowed them from the county planner's office." "They list every zoning change going back to 1920." "Look, the plans from 1988 show an old church near Hobson's Pond." " I've never seen a church there." " It was destroyed in the meteor shower." "According to this, there's a crypt in the basement." "Your dad could have known about it." "I was right there." "The motor home must have been concealing the entrance." "Clark!" "You can't dig him out on your own." "Clark, Pete and I'll go into town." "We'll get a rescue team and meet you out there." "Okay!" " Dad!" " Clark!" " Dad!" " Clark." "Kent, what's happening to him?" "You gotta get him away from the meteor rocks." "They make him sick." "Come on, get him out of here!" "What are you doing?" "I don't need the tape." "I got all the evidence I need right here." "What are you doing?" "Nixon!" "You don't understand!" "The rocks..." "Clark..." "Oh, son of a..." "You're not taking my son!" "Like I said, the people have a right to know." "And unlike you, Mr. Kent I am willing to kill for what I believe in." "Clark." " Mr. Kent, are you okay?" " Yeah." "Son." "You've gotta help me." "Clark, are you okay?" "I'll survive." "Your dad's got a cracked rib, but he'll be all right." "Well, like you said, he's a survivor." "And so are you." "I never realized how strong you were until today." "Thanks, Clark, but I was terrified." "You didn't show it." "You were like super mom." "Dad, how you feeling?" "Thank you." "Kind of like a house fell on me." "That's how I feel." " Dad, I'm glad that you didn't, you know..." " What, kill Nixon?" "I have to admit, it was the hardest thing I ever did, took every fiber of my being." "But I started thinking about you and what your Mom and I've tried to teach you." "I realized if I had done that, Nixon would have won." "It's a good thing Lex was there." "Clark." "Nixon told me that Lex offered to pay him for information on us." "Lex told me he warned Nixon to stay away." "One of them is lying, son." "The question you need to ask yourself is, which one tried to kill you and which one saved your life?" "If I have any more questions, I'll give you a call." " Thanks." "Mr. Kent." " Lex." " Look..." " Lex..." "You saved my life, and I want to say thank you." "To a fresh start." "Yeah." "Clark." "Your mom told me what happened with you and Lana in the tornado." "The only person who was there, and I can't even share it with her." "Well, son, I'm here, you can share it with me if you want." "Dad, I've survived a lot." "Being inside that twister..." "I've never been so scared in my life." "I couldn't see anything." "Things were bouncing off me." "I didn't have any control." "It could've been the wind, but I moved toward the truck and it felt like I was willing myself to do it." "It felt like I was flying." "Lex." "Lex." "Dad?" "Dad." "How are you?" "The doctors won't tell me what's going on." "I know." "I wanted to tell you myself." "There's every chance I'm gonna get back the full use of my legs." "Well, that's great news." "Isn't it?" "I need to say something to you." "If I've acted ruthlessly it was because I knew my opponents wouldn't hesitate to do the same." "I know you've always seen us as opponents." "Lex, when I needed help you saved my life." "And I thank you, son." "Listen." "I know you agreed to go right ahead right away, to operate." " I thought it best to take immediate action." " I would have done the same thing." "And we both would have been wrong." "What are you saying?" "I'm blind." "The operation failed." "And that's not going to change." "It would have been better if you had not helped me." "If you'd let me die." "Lex?" "Lex." "Lex." "What are you doing, Clark?" " Thinking." " Looks like you're hiding." "I just can't wait for things to get back to normal." "It won't." "Why do you say that?" "Nell used to tell me that after the meteor shower." "But these events change you." "Wipes out your illusions." "You discover things about yourself." "What'd you discover?" "I've always had this sense that I was going to die young." "Maybe because of my parents." "Felt guilty I'd survived." "When the tornado came, I thought this was it, fate had finally found me." "Then I saw you in the truck and you put your arms around me and told me everything was going to be okay." "I know, it sounds crazy." "But I started to think of all the other times you've been there to protect me." "I thought, "Maybe there's more to Clark Kent than meets the eye."" "You're right." "It does sound crazy." "There's nothing more to me than what you see." "Clark." "You know you can tell me anything, right?" "I know, Lana." "But I wasn't in that truck." "Then how did I survive?" "It doesn't make any sense." "Maybe you just weren't meant to die young." "Just remember:" "You can't hide out here forever."

"Young man, do you have the time?" "I got six clocks, and none of them work." " Twenty after nine." " After?" "It's twenty after, dear." "Darlin'?" " Five minutes." "What about you?" " I'm all set." "I just ironed my sling." " The lawyer said 9.30 sharp, darlin'." " OK." "I hope you're not the miserly kind." "It's brand-new." "She ought to get a very good price for it." "Is that the right mileage?" "23 miles?" "We only took two rides in it." "It's the darn men." "They run into her just to start a conversation." " Will you come up, Iz?" " Sure, dear." "Don't go by appearances." "It's brand-new." "It was a divorce present from her husband." " They giving' presents for divorces now?" " Why not?" "On the anniversary of our divorce, my husband always sends me... .. one potted yellow rose, and it'll be 19 years in July." "Course, he never did pay me the alimony." "But I wouldn't wanna put a man out, you know, if his heart's not in it." "You break your arm in the car?" "No." "My last roomer, the one before Mrs Taber, we celebrated her divorce and... .. I misbehaved." "I'm so sick and tired of myself." " Will you go over my answers again?" " Sure, dear." "But don't worry, you'll do wonderfully." "Let's see. "Did your husband, Mr Raymond Taber,... .. act toward you with cruelty?"" "Darlin'?" " Well, yes." " Just say yes." "Yes." ""In what way did this cruelty manifest itself?"" "He persistently..." "How does that go again?" ""He persistently and cruelly ignored my personal wishes and my rights,... .. and resorted on several occasions to physical violence against me. "" "He persistently..." "Oh, do I have to say that?" "Why can't I just say he wasn't there?" "He..." "You could touch him, but he wasn't there." "If that was grounds for divorce,... .. there'd only be about 11 marriages left in the US." "Now just repeat after me." " "He persistently..." " He persistently..." "They'll call in their estimate, ma'am." "Those dents aren't my fault, you know." "I'll recommend the best price I can, ma'am." "You can drive her now." "I've put in a new battery." "I'll never drive that car again." "Let's take a taxi." "I..." "I'll give you a lift if you're leaving right away." "Swell." "Two minutes." "Iz, get dressed!" "You gotta be my witness." "This'll be my 77th time I've witnessed for a divorce." "Two sevens - that's lucky, darlin'!" "Oh, Iz, I hope." " Easy does it, now." " Oh, you're a dear." " Here we are." " Thanks a lot." "We've gotta go now." "If you're not goin' back East right away, I'd be glad to show you the county." "Beautiful country around here, you know." "Well, I don't know where I'll be, but OK." "Thanks again." "My name is Isabelle Steers." "Isabelle." "Well, OK, you come along too." "That's a sweet afterthought!" "You Reno men!" "I can't memorise this." "It's not the way it was." "Just say it." "It doesn't have to be true." "This isn't a quiz show, it's only a court." " I just got off the plane..." " I don't wanna hear anything." "Just give me five minutes." "After two years, five minutes..." "You can't have me now, so you want me, that's all." "Please, I'm not blaming you." "It's..." "I just don't believe in the whole thing any more." "Kid, I understand." "I understand..." "You don't understand." "You're not there, Raymond." "If I'm gonna be alone, I wanna be by myself." "Go back." "You're not gonna make me feel sorry for you any more." "Gay!" "Wait up!" "I was just goin' over to see ya!" "Well, good luck now, Susan." "I won't forget you, you can be sure of that." " I don't even know where to write you." " General delivery." "I'll get it." "Will you think about it?" "It's the second-largest laundry in St Louis." "I wouldn't wanna kid you." "I ain't cut out for business." "Well, will you think of me?" "Oh, Gay..." "Oh, you know I will, honey." "Goodbye." "Bye." "How're you doin', boy?" "Ready to cut out of this town?" "Cos I am." "Well, I've been thinkin' about it." " Which one was that?" " Susan." "Swell sport, that woman." "I just met me a girl sweet enough to eat, Gay." "Fine-lookin' woman." "But when I think of all the useless talkin' you gotta do, I get discouraged." "I tell you, I'm dyin' for some fresh air." "And no people, male or female." "Why don't we take out to the mountains?" "We could even do a little mustangin'." "I wanted to pile up about 500 this time." " I need a new engine." " That engine'll fly you anywhere." "Say, you've been two months on this job." "You'll get the habit." "I'll see you over at Harrah's later." "Let's talk about it." "Tom Dooley." "If you throw in your ring you'll never get another divorce." "Go ahead, honey." "Everybody does it." "More gold in that river than there is in the Klondike." " Did you do that?" " Who, me?" "No." "I lost my ring on my honeymoon." " Let's get a drink." " That's my girl." "Wait a minute, honey." "This machine loves me." "Never say die." "Scotch, I guess, on i..." "Yeah, on ice." " Rye and water." " Scotch on ice, rye and water." "Well, cheer up." "I will." "I just hate to fight with anybody." "When you win, you lose." "You know, in your heart." "Well, you're free." "Maybe the trouble is you're not used to it yet." "No, the trouble is I always end up back where I started." "Never had anybody much." "And here I am." "Well, you had your mother, didn't you?" "How do you have somebody who disappears all the time?" "They both weren't there." "She'd go off with a patient for three months and..." "You know how long three months is to a kid." "Listen, don't leave." "Settle here." "They got a school." "You could teach dancing." "One thing about this town, it's always full of interesting strangers." "Oh, I'm sorry." "What did I say?" "I..." "I suddenly miss my mother." "Oh, isn't that the stupidest thing?" "Iz, you're a fine woman." "Practically the only woman that's ever been my friend." "Well, drink up then." "Oh, isn't that the dearest dog?" "Look how sweet he sits there." "Yeah." "Dogs are nice." "Here." "Puppy." "Hey, Dooley." "Hello." "How'd you make out?" "OK." "I'd like you to meet a friend of mine." "Gay..." "Gay Langland, Mrs Taber." " Howdy do?" " And this is Mrs, uh...?" "Steers." "Isabelle Steers." "One thing about Reno men, they do remember the name." " Why don't you boys sit down?" " Thank you." "What're you girls drinking'?" "Whiskey." "We're celebratin' the jail burned down." "Mary, see if you can get four doubles, will you?" "Uh... you sure made a big impression on my friend here." "And I can see why." " You a mechanic too?" " Him?" "He's a cowboy." " How'd you know?" " I can smell, can't I?" " Hey, you can't smell cows on me." " I smell the look on your face, cowboy." "But I love every miserable one of ya." "Course, you're all good for nothin', as you know." "That may be." "But it's better than wages." "I suppose you'll be headin' back East soon, Mrs Taber?" "I can't make up my mind." "I don't know yet what to do." "You don't have a business to run, or a school to teach, or...?" "Me?" "I never finished high school." "Well!" "That's real good news." " You don't like educated women?" " They're all right." "Always wanting' to know what you're thinkin', that's all." "Maybe they want to get to know you." "Did you ever get to know a man better by askin' him questions?" " You mean he'd lie?" " Well, he might not." "And then again, he just might." "How about it, Pilot?" "We takin' off today?" "You ever been outside Reno, Mrs Taber?" "I walked to the edge of town." "Doesn't look like much is out there." "Everything's there." " Like what?" " The country." " Well, what do you do with yourself?" " Just live." " How do you just live?" " Well, you start by goin' to sleep." "You get up when you feel like it." "You scratch yourself." "You fry some eggs." "You see what kind of a day it is." "You throw stones at a can and whistle." "I know what you mean." "I have an empty house in the country just beyond Hawleyville." "It's all yours if you want some peace and quiet before you go back." "The last woman's gone?" "No kiddin'." "I never offered it before." "Well, I wouldn't stay there." "But let's rent a car." "We could look at the country." " Gay has a truck." "You can have my car." " Then you'll have to drive me back." " I don't mind." " Thanks, but I like to feel I'm on my own." " I'll rent a car." "Where can I?" " Right now?" " Why not?" " OK." "You sure don't waste time, do you?" "I just gotta stop by the garage and quit." "Hey, now, that's the boy." "No, Gay." "This is mine." "Mm." "What is that beautiful smell?" "Smells like green perfume." " That's sage, darlin'." " Oh, sure!" "I never smelled it except in bottles." "Gee, it's beautiful here." "Look, dear girl, I think I better tell you somethin' about cowboys." " You really worry about me, don't you?" " Well, you're too believing'." "Cowboys are the last real men left,... .. and they're about as reliable as jack rabbits." "Is anybody any different?" "Maybe you're not supposed to believe people." "Maybe it's not even fair to them." "I couldn't hear what he said to her, but it looked like she left him." "The husband." "She's kinda hard to figure out, you know?" "One minute she looks kinda dumb and brand-new, like a kid,... .. and the next minute..." " She sure moves, though, don't she?" " Mm." "She's real prime." " It isn't finished yet." " It's weathertight." "Come on in." "It's insulated." "Flush doors." "This is the living room." "And this was gonna be another bedroom." "It's even nicer this way." "Here's a picture window." "Take a look at this view." " Take a look at that." " Gee." "It goes on for ever." "Fireplace." " Brick." " This is the kitchen." " Gas refrigerator." " It's nice." "And here's the bathroom." "Ceramic tile." "Here's our..." "This was our bedroom." "My wife." "She died here." "I'm... sorry." "She was due to have a baby." "I was up setting the capstone on the chimney... .. and she screamed... .. and that was that." "Couldn't you call a doctor?" "She didn't seem to be that sick." "Then I got a flat." "I didn't have a spare." "Everything just happened wrong." "It'll do that sometimes." "Yeah, I know." "Uh, you couldn't live here any more, huh?" "We knew each other since we were seven years old, see?" "You ought to find yourself another girl." "I don't know." "Me with anybody else, it seems impossible, you know?" "She wasn't like any other women." "Stood behind me 100 per cent, uncomplaining as a tree." "Maybe that's what killed her." "I mean, a little complaining helps sometimes maybe." "Hey, Iz, isn't this a beautiful place here?" "Yeah." "It'd be just perfect if somebody'd bring in that bottle of whiskey I bought." " With my own money." " Hey, that's right!" "And bring that bag of groceries." "Maybe somebody wants a sandwich." "The glasses are in the kitchen, Isabelle." "I'm real tired." "No, you're just a cowboy, darlin'." "You fellas won't move unless it's rainin' down your necks." "Too rough for you, Roslyn?" "I don't mind that." "You should've seen his wife." "She helped pour cement and knocked in nails." "She was a real good sport." "Now she's dead because he didn't have a spare tyre." "Well, that's the way it goes." "It goes the other way too, though." "Don't forget that." "It's sure nice to see people in here." "Come on, let's have a drink." " I'll start the fridge." "It makes ice quick." " Ice?" "We gonna stay that long, Roslyn?" " I don't know." " Oh, sure." "Come on." "There's no better place to be." "And you couldn't find better company, either." " All right." " That's it, sport." "Turn on that ice, Guido." "Let's get this stuff a-flowin', make the desert bloom." "Well, flow it slow." "We only got one bottle." "There." "Put that in your thoughts and see how they come out." "Come on, sit down, everybody." "Let's get comfortable." " I'm sure glad you like this place." " Here's to Nevada, the "leave it" state." " The what state?" " The "leave it" state." "You got money to gamble, leave it here." "A wife you wanna get rid of, get rid of her here." "Extra atom bomb you don't need, blow it up here." "Nobody will mind in the slightest." "The slogan of Nevada is "Anything goes, but don't complain if it went. "" " That's no lie." " I even left my Southern accent here." "How come you never went back home?" "You came here for a divorce, didn't you?" " I wasn't beautiful enough to go back." " Oh, Isabelle." "No, that's true." "Beauty's a help any place, but in Virginia it's a necessity." "Why, you can't hardly get a driver's licence without it." "No, I love Nevada." "You know, they don't even have regular meal times here." "Never met so many people didn't own a watch." "Might have two wives at the same time, but no watch." "Bless them all." "How quiet it is here." "Sweetest sound there is." "There's an Indian store about five miles, if you wanna shop." "Groceries, everything." "If you wanna stay, that is." "Be glad to come by and do your chores, if you like." "You know, he reminds me of that cowboy friend I told you about." "Had one arm gone, but he was more man with one arm... .. than any other man is with two." "Oh?" " I mean like cookin'." " Oh!" "No, I'm serious." "He could take a panful of chops, toss 'em,... .. and they all came down on the other side." " Who is he?" "Maybe they know him." " Darlin', you can't go lookin' for a man." " What, did he take off?" " No, not exactly." "He just never came back." " Andy Powell." "You ever...?" " Sure!" "Called Andy Gump sometimes?" "That's him." " You know where he is?" " Saw him at the rodeo only last month." " Maybe we could find him." " Stop thinkin' you can change things." "But if there's something you can do..." "I don't know what to do, but if I knew, I'd do it." "Have you got a radio or a phonograph?" "Maybe we'll have some music." " There's no electricity." " The car radio." " Now who'd have thought of that?" " You always get an idea, don't you?" "I'll go bring the car round." "Say, how about another drink to keep that first one warm?" " I'd love it." " I'm gonna make myself a sandwich." " How about you folks?" " OK." "I hope you're gonna stay on here." "Any chance?" "Why?" "What difference would it make?" "Might make all the difference in the world as time goes by." " Like to dance?" " OK." "Thanks." "Iz, give him another drink." "It's a wonderful house, Guido." "Hey, that's pretty good dancin', cowboy." "What are you doin'?" "She used to teach dancing'." "You know?" "Before she was married." " No kiddin'?" "In a dance hall?" " Uh-huh." "How about the landlord?" "Move over, boy, huh?" " Watch out for those pretty little feet." " She knows how to get out of the way." "Let's go." "Where'd you learn that, Pilot?" "I never knew him to dance at all." "Look at old Pilot comin' out from under a bushel!" "Hey, you two ought to put on a show!" "Come on, honey." "This is a good one." "I haven't danced like this in years." " Didn't your wife dance?" " Not like you." "She had no gracefulness." "Why didn't you teach her to be graceful?" "You can't learn that." "How do you know?" "I mean, how do you know?" "You see, she died, and she didn't know how you can dance." "To a certain extent, maybe you were strangers." " I don't feel like discussing my wife." " Don't be mad." "I only meant that if you loved her you could've taught her anything." "Because... we're all dying, aren't we?" "All the husbands and all the wives." "Every minute." "And we're not teaching each other what we really know, are we?" "Dum da-da... dum..." "Guido, you're a nice man." "Smile." "Come on." " Come on, Iz." " I'm lookin' for your shoes, dear girl." "Watch out." "There's no step!" "We better get you home, girl." "You were worried about me." "How sweet." "Just wanna keep you all in one pretty piece." "Would you have had a spare tyre?" "Somebody'd better drive her." "Go ahead." "I'll take the truck." "Oh, Iz, don't leave poor Guido alone." "Tom Dooley!" "You're a real beautiful woman." "It's almost kind of an honour sitting' next to you." "You just shine in my eyes." "That's my true feelin', Roslyn." "What makes you so sad?" "I think you're the saddest girl I ever met." "You're the first man that ever said that." "I'm usually told how happy I am." "That's because you make a man feel happy." "I don't feel that way about you, Gay." "Well, don't get discouraged, girl." "You might." "Look, why don't you try it out here for a while, see what happens?" "You know, sometimes when a person don't know what to do,... .. the best thing is to just stand still." "I'll guarantee you'll have something out here you wouldn't find on every corner." "I, uh..." "I may not amount to much in some ways, but I am a good friend." "Thanks." "Let me take you back and get your things." "Try it for a while, see what happens." "Ever hear the story about the city man out in the country?" "He sees this fella sittin' on his porch, so he says "Mister,... .. could you tell me how I can get back to town?" The fella says "No. "" ""Well, could you tell me how to get to the post office?" The fella says "No. "" ""Well, do you know how to get to the railroad station?" "No. "" ""Boy," he says, "you sure don't know much, do you?"" "The fella says "Nope." "But I ain't lost. "" "Don't you have a home?" "Sure." "Never was a better one, either." "Where is it?" "Right here." "Come on." "I got a surprise for you." "You cooked breakfast." "Here, let me." "No, no, no." "You sit down and enjoy yourself." "Just this once." " You do this often?" " Uh-uh." "First time for me." " Really and truly?" " Mm-hm." "Mm." "Smells delicious." "Hey, you really go all out, don't you?" "Even the way you eat." "I like that." "Women generally pick." "You like me, huh?" "Birds must be brave to live out here." "At night especially." " Whereas they're so small, you know?" " Mm-hm." " You think I'm crazy." " I look that way cos I can't make you out." " Why?" " I don't know." "You got children?" " I never wanted children with him." " Oh." "Children are supposed to bring you together." "But what if they don't?" "I've known of so-called happily married couples." "One time, the wife was in the hospital to have the baby... .. and the husband was calling me up." "I mean, he was calling me." "They're still supposed to be happily married." "I guess you believe in true love, don't you?" "I don't know, but they ought to invent a way that you don't have children... .. unless you care for each other, cos kids know the difference." "I always knew the difference." "Listen, if you wanna go somewhere, I don't mind being alone." " Do I look like I wanna leave?" " I just want you to do what you feel like." "You ain't kiddin'." "Even when you're kiddin', you ain't kiddin'." "No." "It makes me feel peaceful." "You know, they come out here from New York, Chicago, St Louis,... .. and find them a cowboy." "Cowboys are supposed to be dumb, you know." "So they tell 'em everything." "And they do everything." "Everything they couldn't do back home." " It's pitiful." " Why is it pitiful?" "Cowboy's laughin' at 'em, and they don't even know it." "It's nice to meet someone who has respect for a man." "Did you ever think of getting married again?" "Yeah." "I've thought about it a lot of times." "But never in daylight." " You get lonesome for your children?" " Oh, I see 'em now and then." "They come whenever I'm in a rodeo." "I'm a pretty good roper." "I get lonesome, sure." "My daughter is almost your size." "Uh..." "You size 12?" " Uh-huh." " Yeah." "So is she." "I bought her a dress for Christmas." "Size 12." "What happened?" "Did you just stop loving your wife, Gay?" "Well, I come home one night and she's all wrapped up in a car with a fella." "Turned out to be an old friend." "A cousin of mine, as a matter of fact." "Oh." "You never had any idea, huh?" "No." "You know, in those days I thought you got married and that was it." "But nothin' is it." "Not for ever." "That's what I can't get used to." "Everything keeps changing." "I'll tell you this, though." "I wouldn't know how to say goodbye to you, Roslyn." "It surprises me." "There's a lot to be done around this place." "If we were gonna stay awhile." "Let's go out in the sunshine." "Come on." "Let's just live like you said in the bar." "I don't know where I am yet." "Hey!" "Couldn't we use that for a step?" "Well, we just might at that." " There you are." " Let me try it." "It's perfect." "I can go in..." "and I can come out." "Go in... and I can come out." "Go in... .. and I can come out." "I can go in... .. and I can come out." "Guido!" " What's he doing?" " Might land." "There's a place back there." "Nah." "I guess he's just sayin' hello." " Here, have some lemonade." " Oh, thanks." " What does he do?" "Just fly around?" " Could be goin' for eagles." "Now and again ranchers hire Guido to shoot eagles." " Why?" " Well, they kill a lot of lambs." "He gets $50 a bird." "I never really saw anything grow before." "How tiny those seeds were." "And yet they know they're supposed to be lettuces." "You say the darnedest things." "You know that, don't you?" "Everybody's busy in Chicago, and here we are." "I love this whole state!" "Hey..." "What have we here now?" "Well..." "Just plain old rabbit!" "I'm gonna get him." "It's just one lettuce." "Maybe he won't do it any more." "No, ma'am!" "It's them or us!" "There won't be a thing left inside of a week." "Couldn't you wait and see?" "I can't stand to see anything killed." " Honey, it's only a rabbit." " But it doesn't know any better, does it?" "Go on inside and let me handle this." " I know you worked hard..." " You're darn right!" "And I didn't do it for some bug-eyed rabbit." " Gay, please." " Honey, will you go on inside now?" " And stop bein' silly?" " I'm not being silly." "You don't respect what I feel." " And I don't care about the lettuce!" " I care about it!" "And how about havin' some respect for me?" "Oh, Guido and Isabelle!" " Guido!" " Dear girl!" "I thought I saw a passenger!" "We never heard you land." " My, you look thriving'." " Boy, am I in the right place?" "Seen the vegetable garden?" "Took Gay a week just to turn the soil." "Mowed the grass and put in them flowers too." "I got your windows unstuck." "Fireplace don't smoke now." "You must be a magician." "All he ever did for a woman was get out the ice cubes." " Look, we have chairs." "Come and sit." " Let's show him the inside." "You know, I've moved this furniture so many times, I'm gettin' long ears!" "My, you look lovely." "You've really found yourself, haven't you?" "Well, I..." "Oh, it's so nice to see you, Isabelle." "Look, we have a step." " How's your arm?" " Well, it's still as weak as a bird's wing." "Well, I never saw anything like it in my life." "It's magical." "Just hope you realise you finally made contact with a real woman." "My dear girl!" "Come, Guido." "I wanna show you the rest." "I've changed a few things, though." "We've changed things around." "How do you like it?" "Oh, don't look at those." "Gay just hung 'em up for a joke." "I put your picture up in the living room." "Come on, let's have lots of drinks." "Come on." "Oh, it's so nice to have company." " I put your picture there." "Is that all right?" " You don't have to keep it out." "Why, Guido, it's part of the house." "Besides, it's your house." "Oh, sit in the big chair." "This must've been your chair." "Matter of fact, it was." "Isabelle." "Put this under your arm." "Thanks, dear girl." "I used to do all my studying' in this chair." "When I was still ambitious." "What did you study?" "I was on my way to bein' a doctor." "Before the war." "Well, you never can tell." "Maybe you'll get ambitious again." "I'm gonna tell you somethin', Roslyn." "I spent four years in the war." "Did two tours, flew 50 missions." "Every time I came back to base I started to design this house." "But somehow I could never get it to look like my idea of it." "Now it almost does." "You just walk in, a stranger out of nowhere,... .. and for the first time it all lights up." "And I'm sure you know why too." " Why?" " Because you have the gift for life." "The rest of us, we're just lookin' for a place to hide and watch it all go by." "Amen." "Here's to your life, Roslyn." "I hope it goes on for ever." "And yours." "And yours, Isabelle." "And Gay." "Gay did all the work, you know." "Yeah." "And the rabbits are sure enjoying' it too." "Can you break away from this paradise long enough to do a little mustangin'?" "Mustangin'?" "Now you're sayin' somethin'." "You been up in the mountains?" "Took a quick look earlier this mornin'." "I spotted 15 horses." "That's not too bad." "Boy, I'd sure like to get my hands on a rope again." " What do you say?" " I will never understand cowboys." "All crazy about animals, and the minute they got nothin' else to do,... .. they run up in the mountains and bother those poor wild horses." "Shame on you!" "Horses?" "Sure." "Nevada mustang." "Used to ship 'em all over the United States." "Not many left." "We'd have to pick up another man." "Dayton Rodeo's on today." "We ought to be able to pick up a fella there." "That's an idea." "Hey, you never saw a rodeo." "Oh, you gotta see a rodeo!" " I'd love to." "Will you come too?" " I'm all set." " I'll get dressed up." "Let's have some fun!" " That's a girl." "Go right now." "Honey, when you smile it's like the sun comin' up." "Boy, I'd like to have stopped off home and get cleaned up." "Why?" "You look nice." "Doesn't he?" " Lots better than some I've known." " You're a mass of compliments, Isabelle." "Hey, Gay, stop." "That guy next to the phone booth." "What's his name?" " You worked the Stinson Rodeo with him." " Perce Howland?" "Gay Langland!" "You old buzzard, you!" "What are you doin' sittin' out here, fella?" "Well, I hitched a ride down to the Dayton Rodeo,... .. but this fella changed his mind and just left me setting' here." "Roslyn, this is Perce Howland." "Well, old Gay's sure comin' up in the world." "How do, ma'am?" "This is Isabelle." "Oh, 'scuse me." "I got a call in for home, but they keep puttin' me in to Wyoming." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello, Ma?" "This is Perce." "Yeah, I'm OK." "No." "I was in Colorado." "I'm in Nevada now." "Just won me a bull ride." "Yeah." "Yeah, a pretty good rodeo." "A hundred dollars." "Ma, I was gonna buy you a birthday present with it,... .. but I was comin' out of my boots." "No, Ma, I haven't been in hospital since I talked to you." "I just bought some boots." "Ma, what would I wanna get married for?" "I just bought me..." "Hey, you know what?" "On top of purse money, I won me a nice silver buckle." "Yeah." "Got a buckin' horse on it and my entire name written out underneath." "You proud?" "Oh, no, no." "My face is fine." "It's all healed up." "It's just as good as new." "You would too recognise me." "Oh, OK, operator." "Ma, listen." "Say hello to Frieda for me, will you?" "And to Victoria." "Yeah, and to Uncle George." "OK, say hello to him too." "No, no, Ma." "It just slipped my mind, that's all." "Well, OK, I'm sayin' it now." "Ma, you married him, I didn't." "So say hello to him." "Oh, is that...?" "Listen, maybe I'll call you at Christmas time." "OK." "Hello?" "Hello?" "God bless you too." "I just know you'll take me to that rodeo." "Sure." "You entered?" "Well, I aim to be, if I can get me a ride to town." "And, uh, if I can raise $10 for the entrance." "But I just spent my last $2 in that phone booth." "Boy, I'm real equipped, ain't I?" "Say, how'd you like to do some mustangin'?" "We need a third man." "You still fly that DC-6 and seven eighths?" "It's a lot safer than bucking' horses." " There are still mustangs around here?" " I spotted 15 this morning." " There might be a lot more, though." " Well, I don't know." "What do you expect to get out of it?" "Of 15 horses?" "I mean, like, if there was a thousand or more..." "But goin' all the way up there for 15, it kinda hits me sideways." " Better than wages, ain't it?" " Oh, anything's better than wages." "I tell you what." "We'll drive you to the rodeo, put up the ten for the entrance." "You come along tomorrow and help us run some mustang." "All right." "You get me a good bottle of whiskey to keep me primed for the rodeo." "Just wait right here." "You, uh... you an old friend of Gay's?" "Pretty old." "I broke my arm twice - no, three times, in the same place." "And you don't do that faking' a fall." "You know what some of these riders do?" "They just drop off and lay there like they was stone-dead." "Not me, boy." "I don't fake nothin'." "Right, Gay?" "That's right." "You're just a natural-born fool." "It's wonderful to be that way." "I know what you mean." "I used to dance in places, and everybody thought I was crazy." "I mean, I really tried." "People don't know the difference." " Oh, she'd try." "I can just see her tryin'." " What kind of dancin' do you do?" "Oh, interpretive dancing." "You know, nightclubs and..." "That's all." "I was in a nightclub once in Kansas City called The Naked Truth." "And they wasn't kiddin'!" "Dayton comin' up." "Hey, Joe!" "Hi, Joe!" "Hey, Bengie!" "Hey!" "Hi, you old heathen, you!" " Hey, gimme." " Hiya, Perce." "Oh, there's Franklin." "Boy, does he hate his wife." "Hey, Franklin, how's your wife?" "Man, there are a lot of good men here." "I sure hope I drew me a good horse." "Just come out in one piece now, cos you gotta go mustangin' tomorrow." " Church Ladies' Auxiliary." " Sure." " How about you, sinner?" " Oh, I got no money yet." "Church Ladies' Auxiliary." "Church Ladies' Auxiliary." "Church Ladies' Auxiliary." "Church Ladies' Auxiliary." "Church Ladies' Auxiliary." "Frank, Church Ladies' Auxiliary." " You just caught me at the bar next door." " That'll learn you to stay put." "Church Ladies' Auxiliary." "Church Ladies' Auxiliary..." "Come on, I'll buy you a drink." "Excuse me, cousin." "There ain't many of us left now." "No." "Things is tough all over, pop." "Come on, son." "Give me a great big glass of soda pop for my grandson Lester." "I gotta hold onto him tight, otherwise he'll run off to school." "Hey, wait till I show you this." "Here is the goldarnedest contraption that anybody ever seen." "You gotta hit the ball." " You catch what I mean?" " I can do it." "Let me try." "I'll bet you $2 you can't hit it ten times in a row." "Wait." "I'll take that bet." " Go on." "Go on." " I can do ten, I think." "Here's the paddle." "Gangway, gangway, everybody." "Got a bet on." ".. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,... .. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,..." ".. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 30... 40." ".. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9..." "Here, do it while the spirit's in you." " Here, here." "What's the trouble?" " He put his hand on her." " That right, fella?" " I didn't mean nothin' by it." " What's goin' on?" "You lookin' for a fight?" " All right, all right." "Let's get to the rodeo." "Here." "It's the kid's." "Isabelle, come on." "Lester!" "Where'd you get the money?" "A-ha-ha!" "One hundred..." "One hundred and forty-five bucks!" " Hello, gold mine." " That girl can do anything." "I'd marry you." "Thanks for saying it, but you don't have to do that." "Don't shake that thing at me!" "I'm still payin' for this broken arm." "Charles!" "It's in the middle of your pretty eyes." "You're looking for the light, sinner." "I know you, and I love you for your life of pain and sin." "Give it to the only one who loves you in your lonely desert." " She ain't sinned that much." " We're going to fence off the graveyard." "Keep these cowboys from pasturing their horses on the graves." "Sweetheart, you've gone and helped our dead to rest in peace." "Go reborn." "Who do you think is here, dear girl?" "Who do you think is here?" " Who?" " My husband." "Oh, Iz!" "I'm so happy." "I never was so surprised." "They're here on their vacation." " His wife?" " Clara." "You've heard me speak about her." "She's my oldest friend, and she's sweeter than ever." "She must be, to make you so glad to see her." "Charles never would've stayed married to me." "I even lost the vacuum cleaner once." "They still haven't found it." " Well, we gotta get this boy on a horse." " I'll be around." "But I can't go mustangin'." "They're gonna stay at my house for a week." " Good luck, boy." "So long." " Oh, Isabelle..." "Jim Palem in the saddle, now ready to go on Polka Dot, gate one." "Here he comes." " I didn't know it was that dangerous!" " That's the way they want it." "Look." "See that strap they've taken off?" "That's what makes 'em buck." " That grabs 'em where they don't like it." " That's not fair!" "Well, you wouldn't have a rodeo otherwise." "Then they shouldn't have a rodeo." "Lester, what are you tryin' to do?" "!" " Don't break it, Grandpa." " Don't get mad about it." "Come on, Lester." " I hope you're sober." " Man, I've won buckets of money... .. in towns I couldn't remember the name." "Hey, there she is." "I mean, there they are." "Gay, I wouldn't, uh..." "I wouldn't wanna move in on you." " Unless, of course, you wouldn't mind." " Boy, I'd mind." "The next rider is Perce Howland of Black River, Wyoming." " California, not Wyoming." " Ready, boy?" " Outside." " Open the gate!" "Come on, Perce!" "Perce!" "Perce!" " Thanks, Jim." " OK." " Where's..." "Where's my hat, Pa?" " You got it on, Perce." " You're bleeding!" " Frieda!" "I'm all right." "She ain't your sister." "Looks like you've been messing around with the wrong end of the horse." "Let him sit down." "Are you the doctor?" "Doctor?" "I don't wanna doctor." "Hold it, boy." "I'm no doctor." "I'll just clean you up." " Isn't there a doctor?" " Not for 60 miles." "He ain't bad hurt." "How do you know?" "Let's take him." "Come with me." "Now don't start running things, Roslyn." " I don't understand." "He's your friend." " You're all right, ain't you, Perce?" " Perce, you all right?" " Did I make the whistle?" "Almost, boy." "You done good, though." "That old horse, he sure was rank, wasn't he?" "Oh, he was a real killer!" "You done good." " Leave him." "He'll get up." " Next event is the Brahma bull riding." " Oh." "That's me." " No, not yet." "You got a couple of minutes." " What for?" " He's got a bull to ride." "Walk around a bit." " Guido, he's not going in there again?" " I guess he wants to ride that bull." "Just let him walk it off, Roz." "Why are you doing it?" "Take the money we won in the bar." "You helped me win it." "Come on, take it." "It's over $100." "You don't have to go back in there." "I'm pretty good riding' bulls." "I want you to watch me, Roslyn." " But why are you doing it?" " I put in for it." "I entered." " Stop him!" " How can I?" "They don't mind getting busted up." " Perce!" " You don't know what you're saying!" "Perce, here's your prize!" " OK, boy, you want it?" " Hell, yes!" "We still have some real men in the West." "Back again, this time on a Brahma bull,... .. the cowboy from Black Hills, Colorado, Perce Howland." "Come on, honey." "We're gonna have some drinks." "Is he unconscious still?" "Probably, but it ain't noticeable." "He's arguing with the judge about who won." "You still mad at me?" "I don't understand." "People dying, and people just standing around." "Don't you care?" "I just went in for that boy with a wild bull running' loose." " I'm lucky to be sittin' here myself!" " You did?" "You did?" "Well, I just thought I could get him out, so I did, that's all." "But what if he'd died?" "It would be terrible!" "Honey, we all gotta go sometime." "Dyin' is as natural as living'." " A man afraid to die is afraid to live." " Roz?" "Did you see me?" "You were wonderful." "Get in the back." "We're taking you to a hospital." " Oh, no." "We're gonna have some fun." " Yeah, sure." "Come on." " How do you feel?" " How do I feel?" "Like I was kicked by a bull." "He was somethin', wasn't he?" "Oh, I want no part of that bull, except on a plate, medium rare." " Come on." " Is he all right?" "Sure." "In two weeks he won't remember this." "Or you, either." "Why don't you give your sympathy where it's appreciated?" "Where's that?" "Hey, you guys, come on!" "I feel funny." "I feel like..." "What was in the injection that man gave to me?" "I..." "I see the prettiest stars." "I never seen stars before." "You ever see stars before, Gay?" "It's like that bull had the whole Milky Way in its hoof." "Hey, Bill?" "Bill?" "Whiskey for eight people, huh?" "Hey, was that you crying in the ambulance?" " Was that her, Gay?" " Sure was." "I certainly want to thank you." "Oh, now..." "Here's to my buddy - old, elderly Gay." "Gay's not old." "And to old, elderly Pilot and his five-dollar, elderly airplane." "And... to my friend Roslyn." " Well, we're all buddies now, right?" " That's right." "Then what are you lookin' so mad at me for, buddy?" "Hey..." "Uh, is it all right if we have this dance together?" "Sure." "Roslyn, why don't you dance with Perce?" "OK." "Nothin' like being young, is there, Gay?" "No, that's right." "But you know what they say." "There's some keeps gettin' younger all the time." "What's eatin' you?" "Just my life." "This is the way my father used to do it." "Oh!" " What's the matter?" " It's all right." "Come on, let's go out and see the world." "I... better sit down." " Do you mind?" " No." "Damn that bull." "Don't say anything." "Just be still." "Gay's a pretty great fella, isn't he?" "Yes." "You know, I can't figure you, floating' around out here like this." "You belong to Gay?" "I don't know where I belong." "I don't like to see the way they grind up women out here." "Although I guess a lot of them don't mind, do they?" "Some do." "Don't you let them grind you up." "Hear?" "How come you got such trust in your eyes?" " I do?" " Like you was just born." " Oh, no." " Was you really crying' for me before?" "You were hurt." "Didn't anyone ever cry for you before?" "No." "No stranger." "Last..." "April 12th, I was kicked so bad, I was out all day and all night." "And I was with my girlfriend and my two buddies." "I haven't seen her and I haven't seen them since." "They left you?" "Alone?" "Can I ask you something?" "I mean, I don't have anybody, uh... you know what I mean, that I could talk to." "And I don't know how you should do..." "What do you mean?" "Well, see, this is the first year that I've been floatin' around." "I'm not like Gay and Pilot." "I got a pretty good home." "I mean, I had a good home." "One day... .. my father, we was out back, and..." ".. boom, like that, it happened." "Down he went." "Some damn fool hunters." " They killed him?" " Mm-hm." "And then she changed." " Who is "she"?" " My mother." "She used..." "She used to be so dignified." "She'd walk next to him like a saint." "Well, pretty soon this man starts comin' around, and..." "Well, she changed." "Three months, they got married." "Well, OK." "But I said to her "Ma, look." "You better get a paper from this Mr Blackwell,... .. because I'm the oldest, and you know Papa wanted me to have this ranch. "" "So you know what happens?" "On their wedding night he turns around and offers me wages." "On my father's place." "What did she say?" "Say?" "I don't think she heard." "It's like she hardly remembers me any more." "I don't know." "It's hard to explain." "It's like she's changed altogether." "So what I want to know..." "What I want to know is... who do you depend on?" "Who?" "I don't know." "Maybe all there really is is just the next thing." "The next thing that happens." "Maybe you're not supposed to remember anybody's promises." "You could count on mine." "I trust you, Roslyn." " I think I love you." " Oh, no." "You don't know me." "I don't care." "Roz..." "Oh!" "That damn bull!" "Roslyn?" "Roslyn?" "Here we are." "Come on now." "I want you to meet my kids." " Your kids are here?" " Yeah." "They come to the rodeo." "I ain't seen 'em in a year." "Oh, you ought to see the welcome they give me - nearly knocked me over!" " That great?" " I'm so glad for you, Gay." "She's gonna be 19." "She got so pretty." "They just happen to be here for the rodeo." "Both of 'em." "That great?" "Where are they?" "Where are who?" "My kids." "I told 'em I'd be back in a minute." "You heard me tell 'em." "They went outside." "Outside." "Gaylord!" "Gaylord!" "Rosemary!" "Gaylord!" " Gaylord!" " Gaylord!" "Here's your father!" "Gaylord!" "I know you hear me!" "Where you gone to?" "I told you I'd be right back!" " You come here now!" " You'll probably find him at home." "Gaylord!" "You come here now!" "I know you hear me!" "Rosemary!" "I know you hear me!" "You come here now!" "Oh, Gay!" "They'll be looking for you, I'm sure." "They probably thought you left." "Oh, poor Gay!" "Poor Gay!" "Aren't you going too fast?" "Please, huh?" "Don't worry, kid." "I never kill anybody I know." "A fella smashed up my best girlfriend." "She was beautiful, with black hair." "Please, Guido." "Say..." "Say hello to me, Roslyn." "Hello, Guido." "Please, huh?" "We're all blind bombardiers, Roslyn." "We kill people we never even saw." "I bombed nine cities." "I sure must've broken a lot of dishes, but I never saw them." "You know, think of all the puppy dogs and mail carriers... .. and eyeglasses that must've gone up." "Boy, you know, dropping' a bomb is like tellin' a lie." "Makes everything so quiet." "Pretty soon you don't hear anything, you don't see anything." "Not even your wife." "Now the difference is that I see you." "You're the first one I ever really saw." "Please, Guido, don't kill us!" "How do you get to know somebody, kid?" "I can't make a landing, and I can't get up to God, either." "Help me." "I never said "help me" in my life." "I don't know anybody." "So how do I land, honey?" "Will you give me a little time?" "Say yes." "At least say "Hello, Guido. "" "Yes, Guido." "Hello, Guido." "Hello, Roslyn." "Huh?" "Huh?" "OK." "OK." "I'll drive." " Gay, we're here." " Where?" "Huh?" "OK." "Guido, I'm so sorry." "Guido?" "I'm sorry." "Won't you hurt your hand?" "It's so dark." "Guido, look how dark it is." "It's all dark." "Hey!" "Hey!" "What in the hell are you stomping' the flowers for?" "You busted all the damn heliotropes!" "Look at that." "Look at that now." "What in the hell good is that?" " He's just trying to fix the house." " What call has he got to fix the house?" " He's only trying to say hello." " Hello." "What's goin' on?" "Who's doin' that?" "Hey, who's done this?" "Who done this?" " Don't take it off!" " Take it off me!" "What is it?" " Don't take it off." " Take it off!" "What is it?" "It's your bandage." "Stop tangling it." " Bandage?" "What for, a bandage?" " For your head." " Who tied this on me?" " The ambulance did." "You leave me at a disadvantage all night?" " No." " Huh?" "Was it you, Gay?" "Was it you, Gay?" "Oh!" " Who did that?" " Gay, come over here." " You leave me at a disadvantage?" " Yeah, yeah, yeah..." "Who did that to me?" "Where are we?" "Where are you goin'?" "Leave me alone." "Where are we goin'?" "What is this blasted place?" "What is this place?" "Where are we?" "This is my house." "Or it's Guido's." "Well, it's a house, anyway." "No." "No, Ma, Ma, don't, don't." "Gay?" "Come on, Gay." "I wish you'd met Gaylord and Rosemary." "If I had a new kid I'd know just how to be with him." "Just how to do..." "Oh, I wasted those kids." "I didn't know nothin'." "No." "I'm sure they love you, Gay." "Would you ever want a kid... with me?" "Let me turn off the light in the car." "You get some sleep." "I don't wanna sleep." "I asked you a question." "Did I ask you to turn the lights out in the car?" "What are you runnin' away from all the time?" "I wouldn't wash the windows for my wife, even." "Painted the fireplace, planted them damn heliotropes..." "What are they doin' here?" "What do you keep bringin' them around for?" " Gay, I didn't bring 'em here." " Where are you at?" "I don't know where you're at." "Gay, I'm with you." "I'm here with you." "What if someday suddenly you turn around and you don't like me any more?" "Like before, when Perce got hurt, you started to give me a look." "I know that look, and it scares me, Gay." "I couldn't be with strangers any more." "Honey, honey!" "I got a little mad, that's all." "That don't mean I didn't like you." "Didn't your papa ever spank you, then pick you up and give you a big kiss?" "He did, didn't he?" "He was never there long enough." "And strangers spanked me for keeps." "Oh, Gay!" "Love me, love me!" "We made up now." "OK?" "Yeah, OK." "OK." "Let's get some sleep." "Yeah." "Yeah, we'll make out." "I'll farm." "Run some cattle maybe." "I'm a pretty good man, Roslyn." "Best man you'll ever see." "I'll show you tomorrow, up in the mountains." "Not many can keep up with old Gay." "You wait and see." "Help." " Why is the dog shivering?" " He'll do that up here." "That star..." "That star is so far away... .. that by the time the light from it reaches us here on Earth,... .. it might not even be up there any more." "Boy, you sure know a lot, don't you, Pilot?" "Astronomy is in all the library books, Perce." "Nothin' to it but reading'." " Still, it's wonderful to know things." " Knowin' things don't matter much." " You got somethin' a lot more important." " What?" "You care." "Whatever happens to anybody, it happens to you." "You're really hooked into the whole thing, Roslyn." "It's a blessing." "People say I'm just nervous." "If it weren't for the nervous people in the world, we'd all still be eating each other." "I don't know about you educated people,... .. but us ignorant folk gotta hit the sack." " Why is the dog trembling?" " Got a whiff of the horses, I guess." " They must be close by, Guido." " Baby..." "Baby..." " Keep quiet, you fool!" " Oh, don't, Gay." "He couldn't help it." " Have the horses ever kicked him?" " It's not the horses he's afraid of." "It's us." "What are you talkin' about?" "I never mistreated that dog, and you know it." "It's only common sense, Gay." "He knows there's wild animals up there." "Dogs were wild too, once." "He's just remembering when." "He's been up here enough times to know what will happen." "He's just scared he's gonna end up dead too." "Uh, come on, honey." "Keep yourself nice and warm here by the fire." "You kill them?" "No, no." "We, uh... sell 'em to the dealer." "He kills them?" "Well, they're chicken-feed horses." "You know, turn 'em into dog food." "Like you buy in the store for the dog and the cat." "Well, I thought you knew that." "Everybody knows that." "Maybe you better sleep on the truck, in case something comes crawling' around." "Get some sleep now." "Come on." "Honey..." "Honey, I just round 'em up and sell 'em to the dealer." "Always have." "There's no need to look at me that way." "You're lookin' at me like I was a stranger." "Honey!" "I thought they were used for riding, or for..." "Well, sure, they used to be." "Well, like Christmas presents for kids, cos they're small horses, you see?" "But kids ride motor scooters now." "They're real strong horses, though." "Little as they are." "They bred to 'em for stamina." "Mustang blood pulled all the ploughs in the West." "They couldn't have settled here unless somebody caught mustang for 'em." "Somehow it all got changed around." "I'm doin' the same thing I always did." "It's just that they changed it around." "But you know what you're doing isn't right, don't you?" " If I didn't do it, somebody else would." " I don't care about the others." "You've bought food for my dog." "What did you think was in it?" " I don't wanna hear it." " Nothin' can live unless something' dies." "Oh, stop!" "Roslyn, we never kidded, you and I." "Now, I don't want to lose you." "But you gotta help me a bit, cos I can't put on that this is all as bad as you make it." "All I know is everything else is wages." "I hunt these horses to keep myself free." "So I'm a free man." "That's why you liked me, isn't it?" " I liked you because you were kind." " I haven't changed." "Yes." "This changes it." "Honey, a kind man can kill." "No." "He can't." "Well, maybe you have to take the bad with the good,... .. else you'll be runnin' for the rest of your life." "What is there to stop for?" "You're just like everybody else." "Yeah, sure." "Maybe we're all alike." "Including' you." "We start out doin' somethin', meanin' no harm, somethin' naturally in us to do." "But somewhere along the line it gets changed around into somethin' bad." "Like dancing' in a nightclub." "You started out just wantin' to dance." "But little by little it turns out that people ain't interested in how good you danced." "They're gawking' at you with somethin' different in their minds." "And they turn it sour, don't they?" "I could have looked down my nose at you too." "Showin' yourself off in a nightclub for so much a night." "But I took my hat off to you, cos I know the difference." "This..." "This is how I dance, Roslyn." "And if they make somethin' else out of it,... .. well, I can't run the world, any more than you could." "You took your hat off to me?" "You mean that, don't you, Gay?" "Good night." "Shame on you, you old fool." "I can fly her back in the morning, if you want me to." "I was wonderin' how she agreed to come out here." "She's got a lot of right, when you think about it." "It don't make too much sense for 15 horses." "Don't worry yourselves about her." "She's comin' along fine." "You be quiet now." "Everybody's showin' off." "OK, OK, Perce." "Hold it, hold it." "Come on, Perce, give me a hand here." "Look, Gay." "He's not snapping any more." "Yeah, things generally look different in the morning." "Try and chase 'em down the old mine road." "OK, Gay, I'm ready." "How do you want her?" "That way." "Boy, that's some jacket." "Pretty breezy, though, isn't it?" "Been on a lot of missions in this thing." "I wouldn't take $100 for it." "It's bulletproof." "I wish you were comin' along with me." "You'd see some real flying'." "Probably never see this again in history, you know." " OK, Gay." " Switch off?" "Throttle closed, switch off." "Turn your partner, boy." "Do-si-do." " Once more, con amore!" " Here we go." "Contact." "That lousy car gas!" "All right, try it again." "Contact." "It's like a dream." "I seen a picture of the moon once." "Looked just like this." " You want up?" " Yes." " He'll drive the horses out of that pass." " Who owns this land?" "Government, probably." "Might as well call it God's country." " You see anything?" " Uh-uh." "How quiet it is." "You can hear your skin against your clothes." "You're lookin' real good, honey." "What do you say we go into Reno tonight?" "OK." "I forgot to tell you something last night." "Cow outfits use the pasture up here." "They shoot mustang and leave 'em for the buzzards." "Cos they eat all the good feed." "You know that, don't you, Perce?" " Huh?" "Yeah, I know that." " Why didn't you say so?" "I just said so." "They're nothin' but misfit horses." "I wish you'd been here in the old days." "I seen 'em pour out of those passes 400, 500 at a time." "We'd build a corral and funnel 'em into it." "Some of 'em were real beautiful animals." "Made sweet riding' horses." " I wish I'd been here then." " I hear something." " What?" " Engine, sounds like." " Where?" " Out there." "No, it's too soon." "He wouldn't be in the pass yet." " Listen." "I hear him." " There he is!" "Gay, look!" "I'd have seen him, but I didn't expect him so soon." "Oh, I seen him glinting against the sun." "That's what it was." "What's that?" "He fired a shot." "Hey, you got good eyes, old boy." "Uh-oh." "Here they come." "One, two, three, four, five, six..." " I guess he'll go back for the rest now." " Let me have a look." " You see the rest yet?" " No." "Six." "It looks like a stallion and four mares." " And a little colt." " You sure?" "Yeah." "A spring foal." "Yeah." "It's a colt all right, Gay." "Want a look?" "Maybe it's cooler in the truck." "It's all right." "She's gonna make it." "You said there'd be fifteen." "There are only six." "Ah, probably lost a few." "That'll happen." "It don't make much sense for six, does it?" "Six is six." "Better than wages, ain't it?" " I said it's better than wages, ain't it?" " Sure." "Anything's better than wages." "Perce, I know a place about 100 miles northeast, Thighbone Mountain." "Must be at least 500 head in there." "I never bothered with 'em cos it's tough to get 'em out." "You have to horseback in." "I don't know, Gay." "To tell you the truth, I don't even know about rodeos any more." "Boy, I'm beginnin' to smell wages all over you." "Sure wish my old man hadn't died." "When you get through wishing', all there is is a man's work." "And there ain't much of that left." "Come on, give me a hand with this drum." "Come on, Perce, let's get these stakes in." "Come on, Dooley." "Come on, dog." "Here, Dooley." "Come on, Perce." "Let's go, boy!" "You grab hold now." "We're gonna do a lot of fast turning." "Throw again, Perce!" "Get that horse, cowboy." "That's the way!" "Attaboy, Gay!" "Get that horse!" "Attaboy, Gay!" " Well, here's the big chief." " What?" "The stallion." "Get that horse, cowboy." "That's the way." "We'll tie 'em up now, and open their nooses so they won't choke overnight." " Overnight?" " The dealer'll pick 'em up in the morning." "Perce?" " Were those his mares?" " Uh-huh." "Was that his colt?" "Perce, get in here." " Gay, why are you killing him?" " Stand aside, honey." " OK, you won!" "All right, you've won!" " Let go of that rope!" "Get outta here!" " Gay, darling..." " Pull him!" "Choke him down, Guido!" " Get off me, Roslyn." " Stop it!" " Roslyn!" " Shut up and pull that horse down!" "Come on!" "One, two..." "Go!" "Well, I guess comin' up here for the first time like her,... .. there might not seem much sense to it, for only five horses." "Not knowin' how it used to be." "I never thought of it, but I guess the fewer you kill, the worse it looks." "What do you say we give her these horses?" "How much do you want for 'em?" "I'll pay you." "I'll give you $200." "Is that enough?" " Let's get in the truck." " Gay, you was about to give 'em to her." "I did think of it, but I sell to dealers only." "Cos all they're lookin' to buy is a horse." " I didn't mean to insult you, Gay." " No insult." "I'm just wonderin' who you think you've been talkin' to since we met." "Brother, what a day." "I nearly hit a mountain back there." "Cylinder cut out at the bottom of a dive." "Squirtin' oil." "Boy, that's the closest I ever come, I tell ya." "Listen, do you want me to stop this?" "I know how you feel, Roslyn." "I never liked this part myself." "Truthfully, the only part I enjoyed is the flying." "You want me to stop it?" " You would?" " You're through with Gay now, right?" "Well, tell me." "He doesn't know what you're all about." "He'll never know." "Tell me, Roslyn." "I been waitin'." "I'm goin' out of my mind with waiting'." "Come back with me." "Give me a week, two weeks." "Let me show you what I am." "Tell me, Roslyn." "Give me a reason and I'll stop it." "There'll be hell to pay, but give me a reason and I'll do it." "A reason?" "You, a sensitive fellow." "So sad for his wife." "Crying about the bombs you dropped and the people you killed." "You have to get something to be human?" "You never felt anything for anybody in your life." "All you know is the sad words." "You could blow up the world, and all you'd feel is sorry for yourself!" " She's an old one." " Fifteen if she's a day." "She wouldn't last through the winter." "We'll tie down the other three on the way back." " What do you think this mare'll weigh?" " About 600 pounds, I guess." " Must be about 400 on that brown, huh?" " Just about, yeah." "Must be about 800 on the stallion." " A little lighter." "About 1900, 2000 pounds." " How does that all come out?" "Well, six cents a pound, be about $110, $120." " How do you wanna cut it up?" " Any way you like." " I'll take 50 for myself and the plane." " OK." "I ought to have about 40 for the truck and me." "That leaves 25 for you, Perce." "That all right?" "Perce!" "No." "You fellas take it." "I just came along for the ride anyway." "Horse killers!" "Killers!" "Murderers!" "You're liars!" "All of you, liars!" "You're only happy when you can see something die!" "Why don't you kill yourselves and be happy?" "!" "You and your God's country!" "Freedom!" "I pity you!" "You're three dear, sweet, dead men!" "She's crazy." "They're all crazy." "You try not to believe it because you need them." "She's crazy." "You struggle, you build, you try, you turn yourself inside out for 'em." "But it's never enough." "So they put the spurs to you." "I know." "I got the marks." "I know this racket." " I just forgot what I knew for a little while." " Butchers!" "Murderers!" "I pity you!" "You're three dead men!" "Hold this light for me, will you?" "Buck up, boy." "Before you know it you'll be up to your neck in dames again." "I just been thinkin'." "I don't know how we got so stupid." "The world is full of mountains." "Montana, Colorado, Canada, even Mexico." "Where there's mountains, there's horses." "Probably we could clean 'em all out till we're too weak to walk." "We'd work a while and..." "I could even sell my house." "I don't know what I've been keepin' it for anyway." "Put everything into a good plane." "We'll get this thing on a business basis." "For instance, we ought to water those horses before we weigh 'em in." "Put 50 pounds on just these five if we let 'em drink." " We just been foolin' around." " I wanna get out of here." "Come on." "No." "With a good plane you could fly into Reno from anywhere." "Check into the Mapes, have a good time, and off we go again." "Boy, we wouldn't need anybody." "I tell you..." "Why don't you shut up, Guido?" "Just shut up, huh?" " Do you want me to turn 'em loose?" " No." "There'd just be a fight." "I'll meet you at the dealer's." "We'll get his winch truck." "Don't spin the prop till I check the switch." " Switch off?" " Switch off." "Throttle closed." "Contact." "Gay!" "Go home." "Go." "Help him, Perce." "He don't want no help." "Gay?" "You held him." "I'm proud of ya, boy." "You held him." "We'll get them all back tomorrow." "Just get your wind back now." "Get your wind back." "Don't worry, we're not through here." "We're only gettin' started." "We don't need anybody in the world." "You know that now, don't you?" "What are you doin'?" "What in the hell you catch him for?" "Don't want nobody makin' up my mind for me, that's all." "Damn 'em all!" "They changed it." "Changed it all around." "Smeared it all over with blood." "Well, I'm finished with it." "It's..." "It's like roping' a dream now." "Just gotta find another way to be alive, that's all." "If there is one any more." "Perce, cut that mare loose for me, will you?" "Sure." "Drive you back, if you want." "Um, I'm pleased to have met you, Roslyn." "Don't get hurt any more, will you, Perce?" " See you around, Guido." " Where'll you be?" "Polishin' windshields?" "Makin' change in a supermarket?" "Try the Laundromat!" "They need a fella there to load the machines!" "Gay!" "I'll leave tomorrow." "OK?" "I bless you, girl." "Gay, if there could be one person in the world,... .. a child who could be brave from the beginning..." "I was scared to when you asked me." "But I'm not so much now." "Are you?" "No." "How do you find your way back in the dark?" "Just head for that big star straight on." "The highway's under it." "It'll take us right home."

"BROTHER ADRIAN:" "Previously on Warehouse 13..." "The safe." "In the safe." "You came into my house and stole from me and I will respond in kind." "Someone's been getting in and out and stealing artifacts." "Why are you trying to hide it from us?" "You're the one cutting me off from the people that I care about!" "Okay, okay good." "He has not found you yet." "Now." "(GASPS) You!" "How did you get into my ware..." "D.B. Cooper's ripcord." "Surely my resourcefulness doesn't surprise you." "I wonder what this does?" "No!" "(GRUNTING) (YELLING)" "(ALARM BLARING)" "Oh, man." "I hate that damn alarm." "It's never a drill, is it?" "MYKA:" "It's in ResslerlBrooks!" "You know what I want." "Use the Astrolabe!" "No!" "Undo what you've done!" "No!" "Never." "You can't kill me." "You need me alive!" "True." "But I can kill your friends." "No!" "They haven't done anything." "This is between us!" "PETE:" "He's here." "Hold on, Artie!" "MYKA:" "We're almost there!" "Come here." "I wanna tell you my plan." "(WHISPERING) (GASPING)" "(GROANING IN PAIN)" "Oh!" "Artie!" "That way!" "Artie, are you okay?" "He used D.B. Cooper's ripcord." "That's how he got in." "He's gone now." "Are you hurt?" "Should we call Dr. Vanessa?" "No!" "No!" "No, I don't want her anywhere near this place!" "Not after what he said to me." "(STAMMERING) Wait." "What'd he say?" "Pete, the Boomerang!" "That's weird." "Why would he say..." "Pete!" "(GASPS)" "He said that he would punish all of you." "And then he said this time we wouldn't be able to stop him." "All right." "I've alerted Mrs. Frederic and the Regents to this latest breach." "Good." "So no more secrets." "No more secrets." "I can't stop him alone." "I'm gonna need all your help." "So Mrs. F. Is on her way here?" "No." "She's with Steve on a special assignment." "'Cause that always works out so well." "Bad news." "When Brother Adrian sent out Alice's mirror," "I grabbed the shipping account number." "It traced to a bogus address obviously, but I set up a system to notify me if it got used again." "We just got another hit." "No, wait, two!" "Where the packages were sent?" "CLAUDIA:" "Yuma, Arizona and Colorado Springs, Colorado." "Amanda." "Tracy." "Your pregnant sister?" "Yeah." "Oh!" "Look." "There's a third hit." "Menlo Park, California." "ARTIE:" "Menlo Park?" "Who do we know." "We don't know anyone in Menlo Park" "I do." "But I'm not supposed to talk about it." "Claud, we need to know who's in danger." "Joshua." "Your brother is in Menlo Park?" "He's working on a classified project." "So, your brother." "Your sister." "And my ex-wife." "And that's how he's punishing you all." "He's going after the ones you love." "And this is my fault." "No." "No." "This is not your fault, Artie, okay?" "We can fix this." "Claud, what artifacts did he send?" "Uh... (SCOFFS) I don't believe this." "According to the database, none are missing." "Zero." "ARTIE:" "He must've disabled it." "All right, I gotta go help Amanda." "I'm going to Tracy's." "Permission to save my brother." "Go." "Save." "I'll stay with Leena." "We'll lock up the breach." "And we will find the good brother." "I must ask what happened to the needle on the elevator dial." "Uh, Miss Frederic, uh, you were saying about the whole..." "About our last campaign?" "Oh, Father Domenico." "Yes." "Your cup is safely locked in the Warehouse. (SIGHS)" "Only a trained eye could detect the dent." "Dent?" "I'm not the one who dropped it." "We have several questions about the Brotherhood of the Black Diamond." "One of its members has infiltrated..." "Please." "The Vatican does not involve itself in disputes between ancient organizations." "Oh, really?" "Well, it seems to me the Vatican is pretty much at the center of all..." "Thank you, Father Domenico." "We'll take it from here." "I'm assuming this is the library." "If you don't mind." "Ah!" "I shall leave you now." "May God be with you." "Agent Jinks, if there is any trouble, I shall rely on your ATF training." "They confiscated my weapon." "How did you get this in here?" "No one touches my purse." "Claudia made that for you." "Wow." "This is so cool." "Did she..." "MRS. FREDERIC:" "Agent Jinks, time's a wasting." "This place is a mess." "And the food is moldy." "STEVE:" "And this newspaper is dated four months ago." "It looks like they left in a hurry." "And I would hazard a guess they actually didn't know they were leaving." "Oh, my God!" "What are you doing here?" "Well, I got a sudden urge to see my little sister." "I'll call you right back." "(LAUGHS) (LAUGHS)" "I'm so excited!" "So good to see you!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "(GASPS) Oh!" "What was that?" "Oh, God." "Static-electricity, I think." "We just got new hypo-allergenic carpet installed for the baby." "But that was a big one." "Yeah, your eyes." "They..." "You know what?" "Never mind." "Just let me get a look at you!" "You look great." "Is that a new necklace?" "Oh!" "It." "It was a gift from Kevin last Christmas." "Good." "How is Kevin?" "In Denver." "On business." "Again!" "Good." "So he's safe." "Safe?" "From all the crazy sister fun that we're gonna have!" "(SCREAMING) Ah!" "I know." "Oh!" "Oh, you have to see the baby's room!" "Good!" "Come on!" "Yeah." "Okay, I'm coming." "I'm coming!" "(LAUGHS) Trace, it's beautiful." "Got one or two neat gifts." "Wow!" "(LAUGHING) Wow!" "So, a lot of new things have shown up in your life recently." "Still popular, just like in high school." "(CHUCKLES)" "Yeah." "Hey, you want some chai tea?" "Sure." "We, we can catch up." "I'll just be here admiring your gifts!" "Check out the sweater set!" "It's the cutest thing ever." "This could be it." "What?" "I said that I, uh, I love sweater sets!" "No." "No, no, no!" "TRACY:" "What?" "I, I can't believe that it's this cute!" "God!" "Oh, this tea has ginger and catnip." "I got it off a website for pregnant women," "GreenBaby." "Org." "Everyone said I would be throwing up the first three months." "No!" "But I haven't even been queasy!" "I think it's the catnip!" "(SIGHS)" "AMANDA:" "Oh, I feel awful, so I'm assuming that your showing up here is not a coincidence." "Probably not. (CHUCKLES)" "Look, I'm sorry, Amanda but it looks like we're dealing with a little bit more of the old you know, boogedy boogedy." "Boogedy." "Great." "What is it this time?" "I'm not really sure, but..." "Are you okay?" "Phew." "I'm feeling worse by the minute." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Yeah, you do look a little sweaty." "Hmm." "Thank you." "I was going for sweaty." "Hoping for puffy later." "Okay." "Um, Amanda, have you received any, I don't know, weird packages today?" "Yeah, actually." "That little leather box over there arrived this morning." "There was no return address, so I assumed it was from Michael." "He's in Florence now." "And you touched it?" "Yes." "That is what humans do when packages are sent to them." "Right." "It made it through the base's security, so I figured it was all right." "Was it always empty like this?" "Yeah." "Just the box." "Pete, am I gonna be all right?" "Yeah." "I'm here, okay?" "We're gonna fix it." "I never really thought of you as the fix-it guy." "You were always much more the break-it kinda guy." "I know, right?" "I mean, who'd have thought my life would get weirder after I quit drinking?" "(CHUCKLES)" "All right, watch your eyes." "Nothing." "Do you, do you feel better?" "Oh!" "I'll take that as a no." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR) CLAUDIA:" "Josh?" "Joshua?" "Josh!" "It's Claudia. (STAMMERING) I keep calling your phone, but it just keeps... (VIBRATING) Ringing." "Oh, crap." "Artie?" "Oh." "Leena!" "Thank God." "I was worried about you." "Artie, what are you doing?" "Something that I should have done weeks ago." "There has to be some other way that..." "There isn't." "No more games." "I won't let him hurt anybody else." "Next time that I see him, I'll be ready." "Wait." "Well, at least let me just come... (FARNSWORTH RINGING)" "Leena!" "Leena, thank God!" "Artie won't answer!" "And Josh..." "Joshua is frozen in some kind of weird, amber-like substance." "What do you think it is?" "Amber." "Can you check the database?" "On it." "Trailer." "Go see Artie!" "Go." "(SIGHS)" "Josh, I'm really, really, really sorry." "(CHUCKLING) Hey, remember that one time you were stuck in a different dimension?" "This is way better than that, am I right?" "I'm gonna take that as a yes." "All right, possibilities." "Uh, paleontologist Georges Cuvier discovered that species could go extinct." "Uh, he carried a handkerchief with a gold embroidered dragonfly." "Wait." "Wait, wait." "What is this?" "Uh." "Oh." "No." "This is a napkin with mustard on it." "Next to food that humans should not eat." "Or Pliny the Elder wrote a treatise, theorizing that amber went from liquid to a solid so it could be..." "A tiny scroll!" "Yes!" "I found it!" "Okay, good." "Neutralize it." "Not that easy." "It's inside the amber." "This tea is gonna make you feel so..." "Oh, my God!" "What..." "What are you doing?" "Um..." "I..." "You know, Trace." "This is an anti-fungal spray." "It was created by the Secret Service." "It detects and exposes..." "Mold." "Seriously?" "Yes." "Yes, and, and that sweater set is just covered in mold." "So, who's the best aunt ever?" "I am. (CHUCKLES) Me!" "You are." "Sorry I freaked out." "I, uh..." "Hormones." "(SIGHS)" "Yeah." "Oh, here." "Have your tea." "Okay." "It (SNIFFS) Smells tangy." "That's the catnip." "Drink it fast. (LAUGHING) It's yummy." "(CHUCKLES)" "(FARNSWORTH RINGING)" "Trace, umm, you know what?" "I have to go take a call but I'll be right back." "Okay?" "I'll be back." "Oh, whoa!" "Take your tea." "I..." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh, my God, Trace." "Your new carpet!" "I'm so sorry." "(STAMMERING) It's okay," "I'll get it." "(STAMMERING) Just take your call." "(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Go." "(SIGHS)" "Mykes?" "Hey, are you okay?" "There is something definitely wrong with Tracy." "Her eyes are doing this weird thing," "(STAMMERING) and then she gave me this, this tea and..." "Oh, my God." "I think my sister tried to poison me." "Wow." "You said your family was competitive, but jeez!" "No!" "It's obviously an artifact!" "I just..." "I have no idea what I'm looking for." "Same here." "I mean, Amanda was whammied by something in a leather box but I can't find anything." "Is she okay?" "Well, she's super hot." "Yes, Pete, I've met her, but if you could just set that aside for a moment." "What?" "No." "Wait, no, no, no." "She, she has a fever!" "(STAMMERING) The doctors have her on antibiotics and it's not helping." "I don't know, Pete." "Have you tried..." "Uh, Pete, Amanda will be fine." "You will figure this out." "I, I have to go, okay?" "(SIGHS) How is she, Doc?" "Okay, I'm gonna prep an ice bath." "She's 106 and rising." "Thank God the bear's Italian." "(SIGHS)" "What?" "Amanda?" "Are you hallucinating?" "No." "We were camping, remember?" "(SIGHING) We heard a bear outside our tent." "It ate our dinner." "(LAUGHING) Oh!" "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah, he, uh, he ate that whole pot of spaghetti!" "And I said, "Thank God that bear's Italian."" "(CHUCKLES)" "What made you think of that?" "I was just thinking how even though you were joking, you were really scared of that bear." "Yes, I was." "But I wasn't." "No." "You're not afraid of anything." "Pete, I'm scared now." "I know." "Come here." "Oh, my." "Oh, my God, Amanda, your back." "What?" "What?" "What is it?" "Your tattoo." "(STAMMERING) It's glowing." "It's..." "It's on fire." "Like it's infected." "Okay." "Now you're hallucinating." "I don't have a tattoo." "Yes, you do, it's right..." "It was just right there." "It was a cat." "Pete." "(STAMMERING) I feel better." "Like... (LAUGHING) Like a lot better." "What, whatever you did with your hand, it worked!" "I didn't do any..." "Thing." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "(GROANS) No!" "Oh!" "(YELLING) Ah!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, my God!" "Where is it?" "Where is it?" "It stopped." "It stopped." "It's on your shoulder." "(SIGHS)" "It's getting really hot in here, right?" "That static charge that you felt when you hugged Tracy, that could have marked the activation of an artifact." "But she's been in contact with lots of other people." "It could be sibling-specific." "Okay." "So what exactly am I looking for?" "Eh, there are dozens of sibling rivalry artifacts." "Cain and Abel, Romulus and Remus, Venus and Serena." "I'll, I'll check." "I don't suppose Cain or Abel had a white sweater set, did they?" "What?" "Come on." "Artie?" "'Course it goes." "He's jammed the database again." "Artie, are you there?" "Goodbye, Artie." "Uh... (FARNSWORTH RINGING)" "Uh, what, I didn't say goodbye?" "Uh, well hello would make more sense." "Pete." "Yeah, sorry." "(STAMMERING) I'm just..." "You look awful." "Thank you, Artie." "I, uh, I picked up a stray cat tattoo." "Uh..." "Does that look familiar?" "AMANDA:" "It says "Kotik" which is Russian for "kitten."" "Kotik's also the party name of Ignaty Gryniewietsky." "He was a member of the People's Will in pre-Bolshevik Russia." "And, and do they call him "kitten" 'cause he's cute and cuddly?" "He was a terrorist who assassinated Tsar Alexander II." "Right, so the nickname is ironic." "Like when Myka calls me "Einstein."" "All right." "What did Kotik do?" "Well, he and other members, they filled kerosene cans with nitroglycerine, they approached the Tsar." "The first man detonated and when the Tsar went to inspect the body," "Kotik just, finished the job." "A suicide bomber." "Yeah." "Many regard him as history's first." "Okay, great." "So, eventually I go boom." "(STAMMERING) How do we stop it, Artie?" "We tried gooing it and..." "No!" "Look, uh, just, uh..." "You get it off your body!" "Cut it off, if you have to!" "I gotta go." "What?" "What?" "What?" "Really?" "Well..." "Trailer, come on." "He's getting away." "(BARKING)" "Okay, Pete, hold on." "What?" "What?" "Just let me get a corpsman in here and maybe..." "No, no, no, no." "Amanda, no doctor is gonna cut off a tattoo." "Okay?" "I need you to do this." "Me?" "Pete, I, I don't think I can." "Ah!" "Okay." "I'm..." "No, Pete." "I..." "Amanda!" "Hmm." "I know there have been plenty of times that you've wanted to stick a knife in me." "This is your chance." "No, we should numb it first." "No time." "Ahhh!" "I can take it." "Oh, God, okay." "Okay." "Ah!" "What?" "What?" "It moved!" "All right, well, keep trying." "(SIGHS)" "It..." "What?" "What?" "What?" "It won't let me get near it." "Ahhh!" "(GROANING IN PAIN)" "(ALARM BLARING)" "What the hell is that?" "Uh, that is a radiation detector." "Oh, my fault. 'Cause..." "I was thinking it couldn't get any worse." "Okay, uh..." "I realize this may be a brute force solution to a delicate problem, but I don't see a lot of other choices here, Josh." "So, I'm banking on two things." "One." "That the Internet's right about amber." "And two, that you won't feel this." "MRS. FREDERIC:" "There seems to be no clue as to what happened to the Brotherhood organization." "Father Domenico says no one has seen a single member either come in or go out in months." "The Vatican knows nothing." "At the risk of invoking an Abbot and Costello movie, it could be that there's some sort of..." "Secret panel!" "Yes." "Agent Jinks?" "Did you find the hidden panel?" "MYKA:" "Tracy?" "Trace." "Myka." "Look, you've been affected by something." "Myka, you're sounding crazy." "I just need you to trust me." "Of course." "(CHUCKLES)" "(CHUCKLES)" "Oh, my God!" "What?" "What's wrong?" "(GASPING)" "I just felt the baby move for the first time!" "Oh, my God!" "Ow!" "Oh, my God!" "You have to feel this!" "Okay." "Here?" "Yes!" "Okay." "Always so damn perfect!" "(GRUNTING)" "Not such a smarty now, huh?" "I'm not gonna hurt you but..." "Oh!" "I am a trained Secret Service agent." "Oh, yeah?" "Mmm-hmm." "Well, I completed the Insanity Workout!" "(GRUNTS) Ah!" "That was handmade!" "(GRUNTING)" "Ow!" "Ow!" "My hair!" "You and your hair." ""I like it curly!" "I like it straight!" Make a decision!" "Look." "You could never take me in a fight." "Okay?" "Not when you were nine." "Not now." "I don't know why this is happening so fast!" "Okay." "It's getting worse." "Ah!" "I feel like the inside of a microwave popcorn bag." "I just hope this thing can hold the blast." "It offers explosive mitigation and radiation shielding for 2,000 pounds of TNT equivalent." "Well, I'm 180." "Pete." "All right, well, a few more on my fat days." "(BEEPING)" "Listen, the cell phone's not gonna work inside." "You're gonna be all alone in there, Pete." "I know." "Look, Amanda." "If there was any way..." "That I could do this without being the biggest hero you ever met..." "Argh!" "Far bigger than your husband, Michael," "I'd do it." "(GASPING) Pete!" "Tell 'em to name something after me." "Not a mall." "(CHUCKLES)" "(CHUCKLING) There's that smile." "I'm glad it's the last thing I'll see." "Pete..." "I never stopped loving you." "(GROANING IN PAIN)" "TRACY:" "You were always jealous I had more friends than you!" "Ugh!" "Jimmy Quinn only asked you to the prom as a favor to me." "Otherwise your date would've just been Joel." "Who's Joel?" "Joel the mole!" "That's what we called that thing on your face." "That was..." "That was a beauty mark!" "Beauty marks don't have hair!" "(FARNSWORTH RINGING) (GROWLS)" "Argh!" "PETE:" "Myka, I need to talk to you." "Pete, my sister is so mean!" "She had a nickname for my mole." "And I just told you I had a mole." "It's okay." "I don't care." "Pete, what's wrong?" "Is Amanda okay?" "Yeah." "She..." "She's fine." "Pete." "You're, you're glowing." "That's kinda what I called you about." "I... (GASPING)" "God!" "Myka, I think this might be the..." "I don't see a way out this time." "Okay?" "And I... (GROANING)" "I think this might be the end." "(SCREAMING)" "(GROANING)" "Okay, Pete, just tell me everything." "Okay, look." "I have a tattoo of a cat, from a Russian suicide bomber on my back that's about to explode, okay?" "It transfers from skin to skin." "Did you try..." "You can't burn it off, cut it off, or goo it off." "Okay." "How, how did the tattoo transfer to Amanda in the first place?" "I don't know." "It's, it's unclear." "It came with this box." "I tried to neutralize it, but... (GROANING)" "Oh, my God." "Pete!" "Pete, what if the tattoo didn't come in the box, what if it came on the box?" "Think about it, after all, what's leather?" "I don't know." "Skin." "Wait, Myka!" "Leather!" "Leather is skin!" "Right." "Maybe even the skin from the suicide bomber." "Ew!" "Sometimes this job can be so gross!" "Okay, so if it transferred to Amanda from the box, if it transfers skin to skin..." "Uh, maybe I can transfer it back!" "Yes, just press the box against the tattoo." "Okay, Okay." "(STRAINING)" "Damn it!" "What?" "Pete, what's wrong?" "I do too many pull ups!" "God!" "I should've done yoga." "(GROANING)" "Myka, please don't let my last words be "I should've done yoga."" "No!" "No, just listen to me!" "You are not just gonna lie down and die, okay?" "(GASPING)" "(LAUGHING) Lie down." "Myka!" "Lie down!" "Lie down!" "(YELLING)" "Pete, you're raving." "(SCREAMING)" "Pete?" "Oh, my God!" "Did you explode?" "Pete?" "Did you, did you melt?" "(GASPS)" "Pete?" "(LAUGHING) I'm okay!" "(LAUGHS)" "Give me some skin!" "(LAUGHING)" "Yes!" "Argh!" "(SNIFFLING)" "(DOOR OPENING)" "Oh, my God!" "I saw the explosion." "I thought... (LAUGHING) No!" "I'm good." "I'm good!" "I'm okay!" "(LAUGHING)" "Oh, my..." "Oh, I know." "Oh, I know." "I know." "I know." "I know." "I know." "I know." "Pete." "Amanda." "Pete." "Yeah." "You can let go now, Pete." "Huh?" "At ease!" "Right." "Oh, uh." "I'm sorry." "I need to get back to Colorado Springs." "Do you have a Black Hawk I could borrow?" "I can't just give a helicopter to a civilian." "Oh, really?" "Not even a civilian you're still in love with?" "I never said that." "Yes, you did." "No, I said I never stopped..." "No." "No, no." "Ioving you." "You can't take it back now!" "Totally different thing!" "You cannot take it back." "You can't just go back." "It didn't mean anything, all right?" "What, what do you mean it doesn't mean anything?" "It means something to me!" "All right, fine!" "I'll get you a helicopter!" "That looks hot enough." "(CHUCKLES)" "Yay, Internet!" "Oh, jeez, Josh, get a manicure!" "And hello, scroll." "(GASPS)" "Do not recoil, earthling." "I come in peace." "Claudia?" "Surprise visit to show you my Halloween idea this year!" "No." "No, no, no." "You're here because..." "(WINCING) Ow!" "Something Warehousey happened, didn't it?" "No..." "Yes." "But I saved you." "Again." "What just happened?" "(STAMMERING) I was looking at this painting and then..." "This frame was constructed by Rembrandt's master framer, who used wood from the acacia tree of lusaaset." "The Tree of Life." "Very good." "That's how some of Rembrandt's paintings are so incredibly life-like." "So is the Brotherhood in there, too?" "Brother Adrian must have trapped them inside before he left for the Warehouse." "They should be following you out one by one." "There's one now." "Who are you people?" "You cannot be in the library!" "Keep that handy, Agent Jinks." "I have a feeling you'll use it several more times." "(SPEAKING ITALIAN)" "TRACY:" "Just wait till Kevin comes home." "Oh, that's right," "I have a husband, and you don't." "Nothing here." "Nothing." "Nothing is reacting." "(SIGHING)" "Trace?" "You okay?" "I don't feel so good." "Trace?" "(SIGHS)" "Tracy?" "PETE: (YELLING) Myka!" "Pete!" "I'm up here!" "Pete." "Your work husband?" "(LAUGHING) Only husband you'll ever have." "Mykes, hey!" "Are you hurt?" "Well, not physically." "But, but next Thanksgiving might be a little problematic." "How's Tracy?" "She's not good." "Her, her heartbeat's going crazy." "I'm a little worried about the baby." "And the artifact?" "I can't find anything." "It looks like you went through everything but the wrapping paper." "What?" "Wrapping paper!" "The garbage!" "I haven't checked the wrapping paper in the garbage!" "Hurry, Mykes!" "So, tell me about the mole." "(SIGHS)" "(GROWLING)" "What is it, Trailer?" "(GROWLING)" "Dogs usually like me." "Why don't you just..." "Why don't you just kill me?" "I'm not a murderer." "But don't worry." "You're never getting out of here again." "(BARKS)" "So, who is Brother Adrian?" "Just another in the long list of psychos who love artifacts, I guess." "But how would he know I was in Menlo Park?" "I mean, that was a secret." "Unless you told someone." "Mmm-mmm." "Not me." "Unless you inadvertently..." "Uh-uh." "Artie was clear if I told anyone, he would personally..." "Wait." "Artie knew you were here?" "Yeah." "He set it all up about two weeks ago." "But that..." "He acted like it was a complete surprise." "Like he never even knew." "That's weird." "You know, he was kind of abrupt about the whole thing." "I mean, more than usual." "At first, it didn't even sound like him." "Okay." "I think I got it all!" "PETE:" "All right." "So, um, look for something that's, that's old-timey, or, or out-of-place." "Yep." "Hey, Mykes." "What is this?" "(STAMMERING) Uh, that is a ribbon hat." "It's a dumbass tradition in baby showers." "Yeah." "Well, nothing says "artifact" like "dumbass tradition."" "And may I also say, hey-hey-hey." "Huh?" "Definitely old-timey." "Also weird and out of place." "Here." "(GRUNTS)" "Oh." "Myka!" "MYKA:" "It's not helping." "Okay, so it's a cord, right?" "So what else do you do with a cord?" "I don't know." "You unravel a cord." "(STAMMERING) You rip a cord, you, you..." "Cut the cord!" "Cut the cord!" "Okay, okay." "Let's cut it." "Um..." "All right." "Ready?" "Yeah!" "(SIGHS)" "Tracy, are you okay?" "Myka?" "You..." "You were in the driveway, but how did you..." "Uh." "You, uh, you passed out." "You know?" "Pregnancy causes low blood pressure." "And I read somewhere that, um..." "Forced limb extensions can help with the..." "Your pulse is back to normal." "I had the weirdest dream." "Maybe we should call your doctor." "No." "No, I..." "I feel fine." "Really." "Okay!" "It's just so great to see you." "Oh, me too!" "Your hair looks really cute like that." "Do you think so?" "'Cause I've..." "I really like it curly, but maybe I should go back to the..." "You know what, Tracy?" "It doesn't matter." "(CHUCKLES)" "(FARNSWORTH RINGING)" "Hey, Claud." "Hey, can you talk?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I'm here with Myka." "Tracy's okay, but I'm getting a really weird vibe." "I think I know why." "Myka, what happened here?" "Uh, well, there was a, uh..." "Windstorm." "But I closed the window just in time." "Who's the best aunt ever?" "Me!" "I am." "You are." "PETE:" "Hey, Mykes." "Just, um..." "I'll be right back." "Okay?" "A windstorm?" "In Colorado Springs?" "Hey, Claud!" "Is Joshua okay?" "Yeah, he's fine." "Um, it's Artie." "Pete, he lied to me." "He flat-out lied about not knowing Joshua was in Menlo Park." "And have you noticed anything weird about him today?" "Yeah, yeah." "I was having a lot of trouble with an artifact and he just hung up the Farnsworth." "He totally left me hanging." "He never does that." "Well, he's distracted." "Brother Adrian is in the Warehouse." "(STAMMERING) And Artie said that the database is down." "Yeah, except that it's not." "I set up a remote testing system." "It checks in every few minutes." "I would've gotten the alert." "Why would Artie say that?" "I don't know." "We need to get back to the Warehouse." "Right now." "This is how we deal with the worst of the worst." "You'll fit right in." "Don't do this, Arthur." "You need me." "Like I need cancer." "You are finished attacking me and the people I care about!" "You're making a terrible decision." "No." "I'm making sure you never hurt us again." "(BARKING)" "Trailer." "Where's Artie?" "Where's Artie, Trailer?" "(BARKING)" "BROTHER CICERO:" "Dimitri!" "No need to attack!" "They're from the Warehouse." "What has happened?" "You have all been trapped in that painting for several months." "A global crisis forced one of our agents to use Magellan's Astrolabe." "I imagine you know what that means." "An evil was created." "And that's where you guys come in." "One of yours has gone rogue and has been trying to kill us." "He even sent that frame to entrap you." "(BUZZING)" "(SIGHS) It's over." "It's finally over." "BROTHER ADRIAN:" "It'll never be over." "Huh?" "How." "No!" "No, it can't, it can't be." "Who is it you accuse of turning against the Brotherhood?" "Brother Adrian." "You are lying." "He tried to kill me." "When?" "Where?" "Two weeks ago." "In South Dakota." "It is not possible." "I understand it may be difficult to believe something like this is possible." "Mrs. Frederic." "You're a fool." "Oh, God!" "That's enough." "That's enough!" "Just leave me alone." "Leave my family alone!" "Just get out my life!" "Not until you use the Astrolabe." "Never!" "I'll never do what you want!" "And I'll stop you!" "I'll stop you." "I will!" "Artie!" "What are you doing?" "Leena." "No!" "Don't you touch her!" "You leave her alone!" "Leena, run, get out!" "(LAUGHING)" "Something has happened." "Brother Adrian, have you ever been in South Dakota?" "No, I have not." "He's telling the truth." "Then who is at the Warehouse?" "(LAUGHING) I swear by everything that I hold dear, if you touch one hair on her head!" "And I'II..." "What?" "You'll do what?" "(CRYING) Artie!" "Stop!" "Please stop!" "Artie, there's nobody there!" "It's just you." "It's just you." "What?" "Just me?" "No!" "Just me?" "Just me?" "No." "What?" "No." "No." "No, no." "See, he used an artifact." "He used an artifact to disappear the instant that you showed up." "No." "No, I've been watching you for a while, Artie, and you've been shouting at the air." "Stop!" "No!" "No." "He, he tried to kill Vanessa." "And he tried to kill Steve." "And Claudia!" "And he did all of that just so that I would use the Astrolabe." "Artie, it's gonna be okay." "Okay?" "We're gonna figure this out." "We're gonna figure this out." "No, no, no, no." "(FARNSWORTH RINGING)" "Oh." "Leena, where are you?" "So, we gotta get..." "I'm in the Bronze Sector with Artie." "Mrs. Frederic, I'm worried." "He's..." "I shouldn't do..." "He's talking to Brother Adrian but..." "But he's not there, is he?" "I am with Brother Adrian now, at the Vatican." "Whatever the effects of the Astrolabe," "I'm afraid it's caused Arthur to have some sort of psychotic break." "It would seem that the Brother Adrian that Arthur has been battling never really existed." "It's all in his mind?" "A construct of his subconscious." "I think he's figuring that out now." "He, he came to me." "He sat right there." "The Astrolabe was our only solution." "You have to believe me." "I tried to tell you." "He said there would be an evil that I would not be able to control." "I need your help, Arthur." "And the Warehouse." "How do you know about the Warehouse?" "He sent a mirror to Rapid City." "He sent a mirror to Rapid City." "Hugo!" "He, he tried to kill Hugo." "He tried to bury Claudia and Steve." "They were dead and I had to use it." "No!" "(GROANING)" "(ALARM BLARING)" "What is it, Trailer?" "I..." "I shot him." "(SOBBING) I shot him." "I'm not a murderer." "You're never getting out of here again." "Yes, I..." "And I had him." "I touched him." "He pretended to be me." "No!" "No, no!" "(STAMMERING) That's a trick." "MRS. FREDERIC:" "Leena." "I want you to leave the Warehouse." "Go." "Go now." "(SOBBING)" "Let me help you." "Artie, what's going on?" "The Dark Vault." "It's in the Dark Vault." "Artie, stop." "Look at me." "(MOUTHING) Oh, my God." "You're not..." "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "You're in my way." "(PANTING)" "Pete!" "What is it?" "A vibe." "I just got hit with a big one." "Not since my dad..." "Call the Warehouse." "What?" "Mykes, call the Warehouse." "(FARNSWORTH RINGING)"

"Space, the final frontier." "These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise." "Its five-year mission:" "to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." "Captain's Log, Stardate 5501.2." "We are orbiting the planet Lactra Vll." "Our mission is to discover the whereabouts or fate of a six-member science crew." "Voice contact having yielded nothing, a landing party beamed aboard to see if the deserted ship's log and computers could give us any information." "It is now 32 minutes since our last contact with the three members of our crew on the planet surface." "As the senior officer aboard, I, Lieutenant Commander Markel, have made the following decision." "The three remaining crew members, myself included, will beam down to effect a rescue." "If, for any reason, we do not return, be it known that..." "lt was against all orders." "The need was apparently desperate." "The Captain of a ship, no matter his rank, must follow the book." "A capability, I'm afraid, out of the reach of most humans." "You Vulcans are the most impossible, unimaginative..." "Bones, that's not helping the situation." "Sorry, Jim." "Mr Spock, what can we expect to find on Lactra Vll?" "It's a Class-M planet, gravity, earth normal, atmosphere, earth normal." "There is no previous information available except that which the survey ship logged before her crew left her." "According to their log, they beamed down six weeks ago." "Five weeks, three days, two hours and four minutes, to be exact, Captain." "Careless of me, Mr Spock." "Planetary life forms?" "lt certainly can support life forms." "But I cannot speculate on what type without further data." "Mr Arex is conducting a sensor scan now." "It will take too long to do a comprehensive scan." "I want a landing party to at least beam down to the last known coordinates the other crew used." "Jim, if the others are lost, why take the risk?" "Because they may not be dead." "We have to find out." "lt's still a risk." "That's why we're here, Bones." "Gentlemen, we'll travel light." "Phasers, tricorders, communicators and medical kit." "You have the coordinates from the other ship, Scotty." "Put us down in the same place." "Sir, Mr Arex has located a variety of life forms on the planet." "No large groups or city clusters yet." "Then we'll beam back up." "Logical, Captain." "Energise, Mr Scott." "Everyone all right?" "Ten yards the other way and we'd be boiled alive." "Unusual that such a lake would exist under these planetary conditions." "Spock?" "Most remarkable." "lt may be able to navigate on land." "l know it can." "Phasers on stun!" "Let's get out of here." "Not a very welcome sight, is it?" "I'll see if I can pick up anything on my communicator." "This is Captain Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise, calling the crew of the Ariel." "Come in please." "Come in." "They're answering." "Did you get a fix on that, Jim?" "Yes." "That way." "Strange you didn't get a voice reply." "There could be many reasons why we did not." "Never mind counting them." "Phasers on stun!" "It seems to gather strength from our phasers." "In my opinion." "Concentrate on the underside of the neck." "Captain?" "Right here." "You all right?" "I am undamaged." "Where is Dr McCoy?" "It came from back there." "We'll get you out, Bones!" "It would appear a more logical solution is in order, Captain." "We don't lift the tail off, we dig the Doctor out." "Thanks." "The air was running out under there." "Were you hurt?" "No." "Just surprised." "It isn't every day a dinosaur falls on you." "This is a pretty strange place." "Agreed." "How much desert do we have to cross, Mr Spock?" "1 .1 kilometres, sir." "We'd better pick up our pace." "1 .1 kilometres, sir." "We'd better pick up our pace." "There's no place for cover if we meet any other creatures." "The bearing on the signal we heard is that way." "Captain, the beast, did it seem familiar to you?" "I've seen something very like it on Canopus lll, but that's light-years from here." "Still, this desert area is the same as on Canopus." "You propose the same environment necessarily prompts the same evolution?" "My shoes are full of sand." "Doctor, your lack of scientific interest is amazing." "I'll be happy to discuss that with you, Mr Spock, next time you drop in to my medical lab." "Oh, this seems a lot more friendly than the desert." "Captain, doesn't it strike you strange that two such different ecologies could co-exist so closely?" "l've seen stranger things, Mr Spock." "Merely an observation, Captain." "Kirk to Enterprise." "Enterprise." "Scott here." "Any new information, Scotty?" "There is a large concentration of life forms 98.5 kilometres north-east of you." "Apparently a city, or a central gathering place." "Nothing else yet." "North-east." "That's where we got the signal from." "All right, Scotty, keep scanning." "Kirk out." "I don't like it, Jim." "Why only one short signal and no more?" "I don't know." "But at least they're alive." "Apparently alive." "We cannot be sure." "l choose to believe they are." "Allow me to test the water first, Doctor." "Go ahead." "But it looks clear enough." "Captain, the water is too pure." "lt tastes just fine." "Nonetheless, it is too pure." "ln other words, it's too good to be true." "Correct, Captain." "And a rain forest this close to a desert is also illogical." "It is my theory that what we have seen since we landed was manufactured, not created." "Terraforming isn't new." "It implies intelligent life forms." "Yes, but terraforming usually follows a pattern." "This seems like random choice." "Unless, of course, the random choice is the pattern." "Spock, do you ever say anything straight out?" "I thought I just did, Doctor." "Gentlemen, please." "We have work to do." "The desperation of the science ship's first landing party is now obvious." "We're still alive, aren't we?" "That's true." "However, not exactly safe." "Phasers on full stun." "They're useless!" "No." "They're like the dragons on Maravel." "The stun charge should get them." "That's strange." "By observation alone, it appears they hit an invisible force field." "If that's true, Spock, then..." "We've been travelling for hours." "Where are they taking us?" "Towards the north-west, toward the city Scotty reported." "Captain, there it is." "That must be 5 square kilometres." "If these are the builders, it is an admirable feat." "They don't seem very interested in communicating with us." "lf they can communicate at all." "Perhaps not in a way we understand." "I keep receiving impressions." "Any ideas, Doctor?" "Well, I've got one and I definitely don't like it." "I'd guess they're doing exactly what we would do." "Which is?" "Well, if we came upon an alien creature we'd never seen before, the first thing we'd do is to make sure it was free of harmful bacteria." "Then we'd see if it was intelligent." "Congratulations, Doctor." "A most logical assumption." "A more important question, gentlemen, is whether or not there's a way out of here." "A force field." "It seems harmless enough." "So do the bars of a jail, unless you're on the inside." "And we are definitely on the inside." "Hey, somebody!" "Anybody!" "A wasteful use of energy, Doctor." "I believe they can hear us without your shouting." "You said you were picking up impressions." "Are the aliens telepathic?" "I've come to the conclusion they are, Captain." "But the speed at which the thoughts flow is too great for me to comprehend, except for the most fleeting image." "Surely we can communicate with them some way." "They appear to be as advanced beyond Earth civilisation as you are from a colony of ants." "Then what were all those other creatures where we beamed down?" "You will recall we recognised at least two species from vastly different planets." "The environment did not appear natural to this planet." "A technology this advanced could easily travel to other star systems to collect specimens." "You mean it's some kind of a zoo?" "Exactly." "They took our phasers, communicators and other equipment so they must have some idea we're intelligent." "Not necessarily, Captain." "They could have taken them for the same reason you would take a sharp object away from a child." "Or maybe they want to see how our "toys" work." "That, too, is a possibility." "Wait a minute." "You, you..." "Hey!" "We've got to communicate with them." "Well, so much for mythology." "I find them strangely attractive." "Look ahead!" "Better do what they want for now, anyway." "They activated another force field." "This is real grass." "Yes, Doctor." "This area has been carefully prepared for human types." "The aliens are safe now." "How's that?" "They are safe because we are now exhibits in a zoo." "A zoo?" "I'm no animal." "On this planet, Bones, they seem to be the people and we are the animals." "Hello!" "I'm Lieutenant Commander Tom Markel." "This is our biologist, Randi Bryce." "James Kirk, Captain of the Enterprise." "First Officer Spock." "Our physician, Dr McCoy." "We've been expecting you." "You've what?" "We heard your communicator signal." "Then why didn't you warn us?" "We couldn't warn you." "They're constantly picking up our equipment and fooling with it." "Where do they keep the equipment?" "l could use my tricorder." "No use, sir." "They're on an exhibit table." "Beyond the force field." "There were six of you on the mission." "We didn't beam down in time to save the original three." "Lieutenant Randolph is in the house." "She's running a high fever, but we can't seem to do anything about it." "I'll check her out." "Maybe I can help." "What have you learned about the aliens?" "There's not much, sir." "This is a zoo." "So tremendous as to be almost unbelievable." "Have you tried an escape?" "A dozen different ways." "Tunnels, a weakness in the force field, nothing worked." "Have you tried to communicate?" "Yes, sir." "But all we've been able to arouse in them is a sort of quivering motion." "We seem to have company." "They built this for us." "We've concluded they're telepathic." "I guess they read our minds and came as close as they could to make it like home." "Spock, try and make contact." "Yes, sir." "I can't seem to get through, Captain." "They appear too involved with each other." "You seem to be getting a response." "My impression is that they are laughing at me." "So far, Mr Spock, we haven't found anything funny in this." "Animals in a zoo rarely do." "Let's find the others." "I feel a need for human companionship." "Captain Kirk, Mr Spock, this is Nancy Randolph, our navigator." "How is she?" "Without my instruments, it's difficult to make an exact diagnosis." "Rough guess is a malarial type infection caused by an insect bite." "I can't do anything without my medikit." "The Lactrans outside, what do they do?" "They appear to be guards, sir." "Making sure we don't harm each other." "Do they feed us or do we shift for ourselves?" "They bring supplies once a week." "Always to the same place?" "Yes, always, near the display case." "What display case?" "Behind this house, outside the force field." "All our "toys," phasers, communicators, medical supplies." "Then my equipment should be there." "Maybe we can get them to give them back to us." "Captain, they are highly intelligent." "I'm sure they are quite aware of the purpose of each piece of equipment now." "The medical kit wouldn't be harmful." "It would help her, one of their "specimens."" "Then think about it that way, Doctor." "Food." "But it's not feeding time." "They must have sensed a need and interpreted it as food." "I suggest we all concentrate on the medical kit." "It's all here." "They haven't damaged it." "What's your evaluation of the situation, Markel?" "They treat us quite well, sir." "They seem to want us alive and well." "And they don't want to let us go." "A natural reaction for the curators of a zoo." "Sir, do you think there is any chance of getting out?" "As long as we're alive, there's a chance." "Tonight I'll try and find a weak link in the force field." "Begging your pardon, Captain, I think we should face the situation realistically." "We are specimen animals in a zoo." "And they have taken every precaution to prevent our escape." "To them we are caged for life." "We seem to be drawing quite a crowd." "Gentlemen, since they are learning from us, why don't we learn something from them?" "How?" "We can't get through to them." "They communicate telepathically." "Between themselves, yes, but, Mr Spock, aren't Vulcans telepathic?" "To a degree, with our own species and with some others, but the Lactran intelligence is eons beyond mine." "How much have you learned?" "About as much as a mother learns from a six-month-old infant." "What's their impression of us?" "We seem to frighten the smaller ones." "Some, the females, I believe, find us quite ugly." "What about the Enterprise, Jim?" "Scotty could get worried." "He could beam down a fighting force." "My orders were not to attempt a rescue under any condition." "A wise move, Captain." "From what I can gather, even the Enterprise is no match for their force field." "How about coming up with another move, then?" "lf l may suggest, sir?" "Go ahead." "It is obvious they can pick up specific thought transmissions from us if they care to go to the trouble." "I suggest that one of our number appear to be ill." "The rest of us will put strong thoughts in our minds that a communicator is needed for recovery." "Let's try it, and let's be close to the communicator when we do." "I'll pretend I'm sick." "All of you concentrate." "It's a little one." "Could be a child." "Once I get my hands on a communicator, I can have Scotty beam us all aboard the Enterprise." "Ready, now." "The communicator, concentrate on the communicator." "Enterprise!" "This is Captain Kirk!" "Beam us aboard!" "What in the cosmos... I'm receiving an impression they are worried about their child, Captain." "I'm worried about the Enterprise." "They seem to think you made the child disappear." "They did not know we were a deadly species capable of injuring one of them." "Well, let's not stand here." "Let's do something." "The best thing we can do is..." "What is it?" "They're in my head." "What happened to the baby?" "What happened?" "Captain, fight it." "Fight it as hard as you can." "They think too fast in too complex a manner." "If he gives up for even one moment, he may go mad." "Everyone clear out!" "What's going on?" "l think it's harmless, but I'm not sure!" "What do you want us to do?" "Whatever it wants me to." "Now, supposing you and I talk this over." "You can talk, can't you?" "You can't talk." "Well, what can you do?" "Oh, no!" "Listen, you'll send us off into space if you..." "Jim, are you all right?" "Yes." "I think so." "Captain, they have concluded they cannot break through your mind on a one-to-one basis." "They are now gathering the mental strength of all five of them to break through." "I can't hold out against that many." "Everybody, concentrate on Captain Kirk." "Form a thought screen." "No." "No!" "Let me alone!" "Please." "They're destroying me!" "Tearing my mind to..." "To... I'm all... I'm all right." "Scotty." "What are you doing here?" "My young friend brought me." "You made contact?" "lt made contact with me." "What did you learn?" "It's only six years old but it has an iq in the thousands." "It picked my brain, all the knowledge in the Enterprise computers, and sent us flying off out of orbit." "Then how did you get here?" "l convinced it I wasn't a pet, and that it should bring the ship back into orbit." "Then I got it into the transporter to return here." "They are trying to contact us directly." "I can make out something." "It's difficult, they think so fast." "But the child has learned and told its parents all about the Federation and the races it encompasses." "That fast?" "What else do they know about us?" "We are considered simplistic, but in the process of evolving into a higher order." "Even Vulcans?" "Yes." "Even Vulcans." "But the little one didn't tell or think that to me." "Backward child, but growing." "Exactly, sir." "It seems they were where we are some tens of thousands of centuries ago." "Their centuries, not ours." "Do we get out of here?" "lt appears so." "They do not feel we belong in their zoo." "Everyone ready to transport?" "So long, lad." "Nice meeting you." "Kirk to Enterprise." "Prepare to beam aboard two parties, all human." "Captain, we are a scientific contact team, and we learned practically nothing." "Offhand, I'd say we learned to keep our hands off." "But there was so much more." "There will be other opportunities, Mr Markel." "I have just received their final telepathic message." "Which is?" "We'll be welcome back, in 20 or 30 centuries." "Our time or theirs?" "Theirs." "And it will take me some time to figure out how long that is." "Either way, Mr Spock, it will hardly be our problem."

"The future." "A dark, desolate world." "A world of war, suffering, loss... on both sides." "Mutants and the humans who dared to help them." "Fighting an enemy we cannot defeat." "Are we destined down this path?" "Destined to destroy ourselves like so many species before us?" "Or can we evolve fast enough to change ourselves?" "Change our fate?" "Is the future truly set?" "They're here!" "Time's up." "Sentinels!" "Sunspot!" "Let's go." "Run!" "Go!" "Blink!" "No!" "Too late, assholes." "Don't move, you mutant scum!" "No!" "Flat on the ground, hands behind your head!" "So few of us left." "Professor?" "I've found them." "Professor!" " Bobby." " Hey, Storm." "Hey, kid." "Professor, you made it." "Whenever the Sentinels attack, Warpath spots them... then I send Bishop back to warn us of the attack before it happens." "Blink scouts the next site... and then we leave before they ever know we were there." "Because... we never were." "What do you mean you were never there?" "She projects Bishop back in time a few days to warn the others... of the coming attack." "So she sends Bishop back in time?" "No, just his consciousness, into his younger self." "His younger body." "Wow." "This might just work, Charles." "What might work?" "The Sentinel program was originally conceived by Doctor Bolivar Trask." "In the early '70s, he was one of the world's leading weapons designers." "But, covertly, he had begun experimenting on mutants... using their gifts to fuel his own research." "This is extraordinary." "There was one mutant who had discovered what he was doing." "A mutant with the ability to transform herself into anyone." "Mystique." "I knew her as Raven." "We met when we were children, grew up together." "She was like a sister to me." "I tried to help her... but only succeeded in driving her away." "She hunted Trask across the world." "And at the Paris Peace Accords in 1973, after the Vietnam War... she found Trask..." "And killed him." "It was the first time she killed." "It wasn't her last." "But killing Trask did not have the outcome she expected." "It only persuaded the government of the need for his program." "They captured her that day... tortured her, experimented on her." "In her DNA, they discovered the secrets to her powers of transformation." "It gave them the key they needed... to create weapons that could adapt to any mutant power." "And in less than 50 years... the machines that have destroyed... so many of our kind were created." "But it all started that day in 1973... the day she first killed." "The day she truly became..." "Mystique." "You want to go back there." "If I can get to her, stop the assassination... keep her out of their hands... then we can stop the Sentinels from ever being born." "And end this war before it ever begins." "I can send someone back a couple weeks." "Maybe a month." "But you're talking about going back decades." "You have the most powerful brain in the world, Professor... but the mind can only stretch so far before it snaps." "It would rip you apart." "I'm sorry." "No one could survive that trip." "What if someone's mind has a way of snapping back?" "What if someone can heal as fast as they're ripped apart?" "Okay, spread out." "Take your positions." "So I wake up in my younger body, God knows where." "Then what?" "You'll need to go to my house and find me." "Convince me of all of this." "Won't you be able to just read my mind?" "I didn't have my powers in 1973." "Logan, you're going to have to do for me what I once did for you." "Lead me, guide me." "I was a very different man then." "You'll have to be patient with me." "Patience is my strongest suit." " You'll need me as well." " What?" "After Mystique left Charles, she came with me... and I set her on a dangerous path." "A darker path." "It's going to take the two of us, side by side... at a time when we couldn't be further apart." "Great." "So where do I find you?" "Well, it's complicated." "Basically, your body will go to sleep while your mind travels back in time." "As long as you're back there, past and present will continue to coexist." "But once you wake up... whatever you've done will take hold and become history." "And for the rest of us, it will be the only history that we know." "It will be like the last 50 years never happened." "And this world, and this war... the only person who will remember it is you." "All right, Logan..." "I need you to clear your head and to stay as calm as possible." "What?" "What do you mean?" "If your mind gets rocky, it will be harder for me to hold you... and you could start to slip between past and future." "What if I need to get a little rocky?" "Think peaceful thoughts?" "Peaceful thoughts..." "Do you have any good news?" "Well, you don't really age, so you'll pretty much look the same." "You won't have much time in the past." "The Sentinels will find us." "They always do." "And this time, we won't be able to run." "We'll have no escape." "This is our last chance." " You really think this will work?" " I have faith in him." "It's not him I'm worried about, it's us." "We were young... we didn't know any better." "We will now." "See you all soon." "This might sting a little." "Holy shit." "It worked." "What's going on?" " Gwen, get dressed." " Who the hell are you?" "I don't know what's going on." "You're supposed to be guarding the boss's daughter, not screwing her." "Well, I didn't sleep with her." " No?" " No." "I mean, yes, I slept with her many times." "Jimmy!" "That wasn't me." "That was the old me." "I just got here 20 seconds ago." "Really?" "Then what happened to your clothes?" "NW"" "Would you believe me if I told you I was sent here from the future?" " Get out of here, sweetheart." " Yeah." " We're gonna take care of this comedian." " No, you're not." "You're gonna give me the keys to your car and some money for gas... or you're gonna wake up in the hospital." "Trust me, I know how these things play out." "Because you're from the future?" "No." "Because of these." "What the hell?" "God damn it!" "Peaceful thoughts." "We are reviewing all of our defense expenditures... and all the black books are being opened." "We can't support a weapon that targets our own citizens." "If these mutants, as you describe... are already living among us... then they are living here peacefully." "We haven't had an incident in over 10 years." "After what happened in Cuba?" "That was never confirmed." "We have very real enemies out there... the Russians, the Chinese." "We are talking about a tenth of a tenth... of a tenth of our population." "Allow me to read something to you." "Please." "This was acquired by our friends at the CIA." "It's a dissertation... written by a mutant at Oxford University." "And I quote..." ""To Homo Neanderthalensis..." ""his mutant cousin, Homo Sapiens..."" "which is us... "was an aberration." ""The arrival of the mutated human species, Homo Sapiens..." ""was followed by the immediate extinction of their less evolved kin."" "Now, we are the Neanderthal." "Speak for yourself, Dr. Trask." "You know, when you sent our soldiers to Vietnam... without the weapons they needed to win the war... you underestimated your enemy." "You do that with this enemy... and it won't be some border skirmish halfway around the world." "This time, the war will be for our streets... our cities, our homes... and by the time you see the need for my program... it will be too late... and you will have lost two wars in one lifetime." "We are sorry, Dr. Trask... but your Sentinel Program... it ain't gonna fly." "Can I help you, Colonel?" "Just here to give our boys a proper send-off." "I'm sorry, sir, but we have orders." "This is a quarantined area." "Stand aside, soldier." "That's an order." "Atten-hut!" "At ease." "What is all this?" "Lab reports, blood tests." "It's all getting packed up and shipped back." "Where is it going?" "Same place they are." "Trask Industries." "Let's go, gentlemen." "I'm taking you out of this shit show." "Shipping home?" "Not just yet." "What are you doing with those?" "Something to make the ride a little smoother." "I'm transferring you to a private facility... where we can run a few more tests." "Your men are not military." "Private outfit." "We're authorized to remand these men." "These troops are going home." "Well, Colonel, I don't believe you have jurisdiction in this matter." "I'm afraid I do, son." "I'm sorry, who are you?" "The question is, Major... who are you?" "Raven!" "That's not my name." "I had that." "I know." "Let's move out." "Come on, let's go." "Where's Erik?" "I'm on my own now." "Let's go!" "Move it!" "Hold that plane!" "Wouldn't wanna leave these boys in this godforsaken country." "Yes, sir." "You're not coming with us, are you?" "My war's not over." "The enemy is still out there." "The four privates, where did they go?" "They were headed towards the tarmac." "Can I help you?" "Yeah, what happened to the school?" "The school's been shut for years." "Are you a parent?" "I sure as hell hope not." "Who are you?" "I'm Hank." "Hank McCoy." "I look after the house now." "You're Beast?" "Look at you." "I guess you're a late bloomer." "I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." "So where's the Professor?" "There's no professor here." "You're pretty strong for a scrawny kid." "You sure there's not a little Beast in there?" " No, he's not here." " Come on, Beast." " Come on, Beastie." " No." "I said the school's closed." " You need to leave." " Not until I see the Professor." "There's no professor here, I told you that." "Look, kid." "You and I are gonna be good friends." "You just don't know it yet." "Professor!" "Professor!" "Hank?" "What's going on here?" "Professor?" "Please don't call me that." "Why?" "You know this guy?" "Yeah, he looks slightly familiar." "Get off the bloody chandelier, Hank." "You can walk." "You're a perceptive one." "I thought Erik..." "Which makes it slightly perplexing that you missed our sign on the way in." "This is private property, my friend." "I'm gonna have to ask him to ask you to leave." "I'm afraid I can't do that... because I was sent here for you." "Tell whoever it was that sent you that I'm busy." "That's gonna be a little tricky... because the person who sent me was you." "What?" "About 50 years from now." " Like in the future, 50 years from now?" " Yeah." " I sent you from the future?" " Yeah." "Piss off." "If you had your powers, you'd know I was telling the truth." "How do you know I don't have my p..." " Who are you?" " I told you." " Are you CIA?" " No." "You've been watching me?" "I know you, Charles." "We've been friends for years." "I know your powers came when you were 9." "I know you thought you were going crazy when it started... all the voices in your head." "And it wasn't until you were 12... that you realized all the voices were in everyone else's head." "Do you want me to go on?" "I never told anyone that." "Not yet, no, but, you will." "All right, you've piqued my interest." "What do you want?" "We have to stop Raven." "I need your help." "We need your help." "I think I'd like to wake up now." "What does she have to do with this?" "So you're saying... they took Raven's power, and what?" "They weaponized it?" "Yep." "She is unique." "Yeah, she is, Hank." "In the beginning, the Sentinels were just targeting mutants." "Then they began to identify the genetics in non-mutants... who would eventually have mutant children and grandchildren." "Many of the humans tried to help us, but it was a slaughter." "Leaving only the worst of humanity in charge." "I've been in a lot of wars." "I'd never seen anything like this." "And it all starts with her." "Let's just say for the sake of... the sake, that I choose to believe you... that I choose to help you." "Raven won't listen to me." "Her heart and soul belong to someone else now." "I know." "That's why we're gonna need Magneto, too." "Erik?" " You do know where he is?" " Yeah." "He's where he belongs." "You're just gonna walk out?" "Top marks." "Like I said, you are perceptive." "The Professor I know would never turn his back... on someone who'd lost their path." "Especially someone he loved." "You know..." "I think I do remember you now." "Yeah." "We came to you a long time ago... seeking your help." "And I'm gonna say to you what you said to us then." "Fuck off." "Listen to me, you little shit." "I've come a long way, and I've watched a lot of people die." "Good people." "Friends." "If you're gonna wallow in self-pity... and do nothing, then you're gonna watch the same thing... you understand?" "We all have to die sometime." "Told you there was no professor here." "What the hell happened to him?" "He lost everything." "Erik, Raven... his legs." "We built the school, the labs, this whole place... then, just after the first semester... the war in Vietnam got worse." "Many of the teachers... and older students were drafted." "It broke him." "He retreated into himself" "I wanted to help, do something... so I designed a serum to treat his spine... derived from the same formula that helps me control my mutation." "I take just enough to keep myself balanced... but he takes too much." "I tried easing him back... but he just couldn't bear the pain, the voices." "The treatment gives him his legs... but it's not enough." "He's just lost too much." "You're not scared of me?" "Always believed [couldn't be the only one in the world." "Charles Xavier." "Raven." "You're hungry and alone." "Take whatever you want." "We've got lots of food." "You don't have to steal." "In fact... you never have to steal again." "And that's a promise." "I'll help you get her." "Not for any of your future shite, but for her." "Fair enough." "But I'll tell you this." "You don't know Erik." "That man is a monster." "A murderer." "You think you can convince Raven to change?" "To come home?" "That's splendid." "But what makes you think you can change him?" "Because you and Erik sent me back here together." "The room they're holding him in was built during the Second World War... when there was a shortage of steel." "So the foundation is pure concrete and sand." "No metal." "He's being held... a hundred floors beneath the most heavily guarded building on the planet." "Why is he in there?" "What, he forgot to mention?" "JFK." "He killed..." "What else explains a bullet miraculously curving through the air?" "Erik's always had a way with guns." "Are you sure you want to carry on with this?" "This is your plan, not mine." "We don't have any resources to get us in." "Or out." "It's just me and Hank." "I knew a guy." "Yeah, he'd be a young man now." "Grew up outside of D.C." "He could get into anywhere." "I just don't know how the hell we're gonna find him." "Is Cerebro out of the question?" "We have a phonebook." "I thought you'd be getting ready for your trip, sir." "I just came to grab a couple files." "Is that a new scarf?" "Lt's nice." "Thank you." "Dr. Trask?" "One second." "We added some names to the Paris meeting." "Thank you." "Is something wrong, sir?" "No." "Lt's nothing." "Would you mind typing up my itinerary?" "I don't wanna miss anything." " Here, here, here." " Where?" " Just stop here." " All right, all right." "Next time I'm driving." "Don't get used to it." "What's he done now?" "I will just write you a check for whatever he took." "We just need to talk to him." "Peter!" "The cops are here." "Again." "What do you guys want?" "I didn't do anything." "I've been here all day." "Just relax, Peter." "We're not cops." "Of course you're not." "If you were, you wouldn't be driving a rental car." "How did you know we've got a rental car?" "I checked your registration when you were walking to the door." "I also had some time to kill so I went through your rental agreement." "Saw you were from out of town." "Are you FBI?" "No, you're not cops." "What's with this gifted youngsters place?" "That's an old card." " He's fascinating." " He's a pain in the arse." "What, a teleporter?" "No, he's just fast." "And when I knew him he wasn't so... young." "Young?" "You're just old." "So you're not afraid to show your powers?" "What powers?" "What are you talking about?" "Do you see something strange here?" "Nothing anybody would believe if you told them." "So, who are you?" "What do you want?" " We need your help, Peter." " For what?" "To break into a highly secured facility... and to get someone out." "Prison break?" "That's illegal, you know." "Only if you get caught." "So, what's in it for me?" "You, you kleptomaniac, get to break into the Pentagon." "How do I know I can trust you?" "Because we're just like you." "Show him." "That's cool, but it's disgusting." "Built in 1943, the Pentagon is the world's largest office building... housing more than 25,000 military employees... stretched over six million square feet." "Where's the bathroom?" "He always needs to pee!" "Lucky for you, you'll have..." "We're getting broadcast signal down here." "What's going on?" "Damn it, call Maintenance, get them down here." "Fought for and captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Japanese Empire." "Now, this month-long battle... included some of the fiercest fighting during World War ll in the Pacific..." "In three seconds, those doors are going to open... and 20 guards will be here to shoot us." "I know." "That's what I'm waiting for." "What are you doing?" "I'm holding your neck so you don't get whiplash." "What?" "Whiplash." "Don't move!" "You're good, it'll pass." "It happens with everyone." "You must have done something pretty serious." "What did you do, man?" "What did you do?" "What did you do?" "Why'd they have you in there?" "For killing the President." "Wow." "Shit." "The only thing I'm guilty of is fighting for people like us." "You take karate?" "You know karate, man?" "I don't know karate." "But I know crazy." "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is a Code Red situation." "We are evacuating the entire floor... so that my associate and I... can secure the prison." " Who are you?" " We're special operations, CB..." "FB-CID." "Perhaps you didn't hear me when first I spoke... but it is imperative that you understand... we're in a complete lock down situation." "We have to get you to the third floor..." "I'm sorry." "Were you finished?" "They told me you control metal." ""They"?" "You know, my mom once knew a guy who could do that." "I'm sorry, I'm just not very good with violence." "Charles?" "Good to see you too, old friend." "And walking." "No thanks to you." "You're the last person in the world I expected to see today." "Believe me..." "I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to." "If we get you out of here, we do it my way." "No killing." "No helmet." "I couldn't disobey you even if I wanted." "I'm never getting inside of that head again." "I need your word, Erik." "Nobody move!" "Hold it right there!" " Charles." " Don't move." "Hands up, or we will shoot!" " Freeze them, Charles." " I can't." "Hands up!" "No!" "Thanks, kid." "Peter, thank you very, very much." "You take care." "I saw your flight plan in the cockpit." "Why are you going to Paris?" "Imagine if they were metal." " Do me a favor and return it for me." " Okay." "And, Peter?" "Take it slow." "Where did they dig you up?" "You're gonna find this hard to believe... but you sent me." "You and Charles." "From the future." "How did you lose them?" "The treatment for my spine affects my DNA." "You sacrificed your powers so you could walk?" "I sacrificed my powers so that I could sleep." "What do you know about it?" "I've lost my fair share." "Dry your eyes, Erik." "It doesn't justify what you've done." "You have no idea what I've done." "I know that you took the things that mean the most to me." "Maybe you should have fought harder for them." "If you want a fight, Erik..." " Sit down." " ..." "I will give you a fight!" "Let him come." "You abandoned me!" "You took her away..." "and you abandoned me!" "Angel." "Azazel." "Emma." "Banshee." "Mutant brothers and sisters..." "all dead!" "Countless others..." "experimented on." "Butchered!" "Erik!" "Where were you, Charles?" "We were supposed to protect them!" "Where were you when your own people needed you?" "Hiding!" "You and Hank!" "Pretending to be something you're not!" "Erik!" "You abandoned us all." "So, you were always an asshole." "I take it we're best buddies in the future." "I spent a lot of years trying to bring you down, bub." "How does that work out for you?" "You're like me." "You're a survivor." "Do you wanna pick all that shit up?" "General, maybe you should slow down, we have a big day tomorrow." "We're celebrating, captain." "It's not every day you win a war, let alone against the American devils." "I'm getting another bottle." "Excuse me." "I'm pretty sure it was my fault." "You speak Vietnamese." "I'm an interpreter." "I speak many tongues." "Let me buy you another drink... unless you're here with someone." "I'm alone." "A bottle of Johnnie Walker please." "You're going to the Summit tomorrow?" "A pretty girl interested in politics..." "Looks can be deceiving." "Lady." "Show me more, baby?" "Clothes off?" "What's the matter, baby?" "You don't think I look pretty like this?" "Fancy a game?" "Lt's been a while." "I'm not in the mood for games, thank you." "I haven't had a real sip in ten years." "I didn't kill the President." "The bullet curved, Erik." "Because I was trying to save him." "They took me out before I could." "Why would you try and save him?" "Because he was one of us." "You must think me so foolish." "We've always said they would come after us." "I never imagined they'd use Raven's DNA to do it." "When did you last see her?" "The day I left for Dallas." "And how was she?" "Strong." "Driven." "Loyal." "How was she?" "She was..." "We were..." "I could see why she meant so much to you." "You should be proud of her, Charles." "She's out there fighting for our cause." "Your cause." "The girl I raised was not capable of killing." "You didn't raise her, you grew up with her." "She couldn't stay a little girl forever, that's why she left." "She left because you got inside her head." "That's not my power." "She made a choice." "But now we know where that choice leads, don't we?" "She's going to murder Trask, they're going to capture her... and then they're going to wipe us out." "Not if we get to her first." "Not if we change history tomorrow." "I'm sorry, Charles... for what happened." "I truly am." "It's been a while since I've played." "I'll go easy on you." "Might finally be a fair fight." "You have the first move." "The diplomats from all around the world are arriving here today at the Hotel Royal." "It's an historic day." "It's the official ending of the United States' military involvement in Vietnam." "There we have the South Vietnamese Foreign Minister... with other South Vietnamese dignitaries." "The Summit doesn't begin for another hour." "The hotel has arranged a private room upstairs for your special guests." "That will be plenty of time." "Good afternoon, everyone." "Hello, thank you for coming." "Congratulations on winning this war." "Now, I know you all have hands to shake and photos to take downstairs... so I will get right to the point." "There is a new enemy out there." "An enemy that will render your arsenals useless... your armies powerless... and your nations defenseless." "You will need a new weapon for this war." "I call them Sentinels." "Named after the ancient guardians that stood at the gates of the citadel." "They have the aeronautic capabilities of a Harrier jet." "Armed with guns that can fire off... more than 2,000 rounds per minute of thermoceramic ammunition." "But size, power, speed... you could find that at Lockheed or Boeing." "No, what makes the Sentinels so special... is the ability to target the mutant X-gene." "A genetic guidance system that can lock onto a mark a half a mile away." "It won't trigger unless it has identified the target." "With this weapon, there will be no human collateral damage." "If I turn it on, the system couldn't even activate in here." "Unless there's a mutant." "Unless there's a mutant." "There has to be a some kind of mistake." "My machines don't make mistakes." "What are you?" "I assure you..." "No, don't shoot it." "I assure you, I don't know what you're talking about." "Raven!" "Raven?" "Raven!" "Raven?" "Charles?" "We've come for you, Erik and I." "Together." "I never thought I'd see you again." "I made you a promise a long time ago that I would protect you." "I'm going to keep you safe." "I'm going to keep you out of their hands." "Erik?" "Erik?" "What are you doing?" "Securing our future." "Forgive me, Mystique." "As long as you're out there, we'll never be safe." "Erik..." "Use your power, Charles." "Stop him." "He can't." "He's slipping back." "I'm losing him." "Stryker!" "Someone will finish what we've started, Wolverine!" "One day!" "Restrain him." "Erik!" "Where am I?" "How the hell did I get here?" "What?" "You came to us." " Who are you?" " Charles." " Charles Xavier!" " I don't know you." "What the hell is that?" "Look, I can deal with this." "Just go." "Stop Erik!" " Erik, please..." " I'm sorry." "Erik..." "You're Logan, that's Hank McCoy, I'm Charles Xavier." "You spent the last couple of days with us." "You're on acid." "Somebody gave you really bad acid, yeah?" "Just hold on tight, we'll get through this together." "Oh, my God, Kitty." "She's wounded pretty bad." "I got him." "Professor?" "What happened to you?" "I just saw someone who's gonna bring me a lot of pain someday." "Where's Raven?" " Gone." " What?" "We have to get out of here." "We want to know if there's any sort of connection with..." "Yesterday, the Paris Peace Summit... was rocked by the appearance of unidentified assailants... was rocked by the appearance of unidentified assailants... the likes of which the world has never seen." "Mass hysteria has gripped the nation as people ask..." ""Where did they come from?" "Will they be back?"" "And most importantly, "Are they friend or foe?"" "That was London correspondent Toby Elliot... reporting from the Paris Peace Summit yesterday." "What the hell are we dealing with here?" "Off the record." "Two days ago, this man, Erik Lehnsherr... escaped from a maximum security prison inside the Pentagon." "We believe that this woman is a former associate of Lehnsherr's." "They were together in Cuba, the day of the crisis in '62." "He was also implicated in Kennedy's assassination." "What about that thing?" "We don't know what that thing is, sir." "Actually, we really don't know what any of them are." "Yes." "Yes, we do." "They're mutants." "He has the power to control metal." "Last I checked, that's what most of your weapons were made of." "And she can transform into anyone." "A general, a secret serviceman." "Even you, Mr. President." "She could walk into this office... and order a nuclear strike if she was in the mood." "And that's only two of them." "Do we have any countermeasures?" "Any defense?" "I was waiting for you to ask me that question." "That's an experimental program, sir." "Strictly off the books." "You're telling me these mutants are out in the world... and our best defense are these giant metal robots?" "Many of the mutants look like us." "My Sentinels can tell the difference." "I have eight prototypes ready to go." "They're built out of a space-age polymer, not an ounce of metal on them." "I want to make a demonstration." "I want the world to know that we can protect them." "What do you need to get these things operational?" "I already gave that number to Congress." "Unfortunately, they elected to shut me down." "It's going to cost a bit more to turn them on." " Whatever you need." " And one more thing." "If we do manage to capture them, I would like her." "For research purposes, of course." "Terrible thing." "What is?" "Being born like that." "Is it?" "Can you imagine..." "Looking in the mirror and seeing that staring back at you?" "Yes, I can." "Where do you think she comes from?" "You think she has a family?" "Yes." "She does." "If I see so much as a screw move, I will jam this into your throat." "How did you find me?" "You taught me well." "It's been a long time since we were this close." "I missed you." "You tried to kill me." "So the rest of us could live." "What do you mean?" "We received a message from the future." "Don't lie to me." "I never have, and I never will." "Humans use your blood, your genes, to create a weapon that wipes us all out." "I was only doing what I thought necessary to secure our future." "So what's to stop me from killing you right now and securing my future?" "Nothing." "It doesn't matter anymore." "They have your DNA." "Your blood was on the street." "Whose fault was that?" "Mine." "I've seen their plans." "They're creating a weapon." "And now they have what they need to take it further." "We have to strike now, while we still hold the upper hand." "I've seen too many friends die, Erik." "I don't want a war." "I only want the man who murdered them." "This is war." "What happened to you?" "Did you lose your way while I was gone?" "Are you still Charles' Raven?" "Or are you Mystique?" "Trask is the enemy." "Killing one man isn't enough." "It never was for you." "Goodbye, Erik." "What happened?" " Come on." " Can he walk?" "He needs his treatment." " I can hear them." " I know." "Lt's okay." " Can you make it stop?" " I'll get them." "Hey, he?" " Pull yourself together." "It's not over yet." "You don't believe that." "How do you know?" "As these go... this comes back." "They all come back." "Look." "I'm still here... and she's still out there." "We need your help, Charles." "Not like this." "I need you." "We can't find Raven." "Not without your powers." "I added a little extra because you missed a dose." "Charles." "Hank, do me a favor." "Would you help me to my study, please?" "Come on, I got you." "Are you sure about this?" "Absolutely not." "This creature is extraordinary." "Her genes could hold the key to mutation itself." "I need more." "That's all they were able to scrape off the pavement in Paris." "More than blood." "I need brain tissue... spinal fluid, bone marrow." "Imagine..." "Sentinels that could transform, adapt to any target." "If I could just get my hands on her." "This girl could leap the program forward years... decades into the future." "How old is your son now, Major?" "Jason?" "He's coming up on ten now, if you can believe it." "Eight years from fighting age." "And how many of our sons and brothers did we just ship home in body bags?" "Maybe fifty, fifty-five thousand?" "And how many more on the other side?" "Never before... in all of human history... has there been a cause which could unite us as a species." "Until now." "You really hate mutants, don't you?" "On the contrary, I rather admire them." "The things they can do." "I see mutants as our salvation." "A common enemy." "A common struggle against the ultimate enemy." "Extinction." "I believe our new friends... are going to help us usher in a new era, Bill." "A new era of genuine... and long-lasting peace." "Attention, attention." "Transport departure in two hours." "Repeat." "Transport departure in two hours." "When was the last time you were down here?" "The last time we went looking for students." "A lifetime ago." "Welcome, Professor." "Raven's wounded." "She won't be moving fast." "These are muscles I haven't stretched in a long time." "Charles!" "Charles!" "Charles?" "Lt's all right." "I'll go check the generator." "It's not the machinery, is it?" "I can't do this." "My mind..." "Yes, you can." " It won't take it." " You're just a little rusty." "You don't understand." "Lt's not a question of being rusty." "I can flip the switches." "I can turn the knobs." "But my power comes from here." "It comes from..." "And it's broken." "I feel like one of my students." "Helpless." "It was a mistake coming down here." "It was a mistake freeing Erik." "This whole thing has been one bloody mistake." "I'm sorry, Logan, but they sent back the wrong man." "You're right." "Lam." "Actually, it was supposed to be you." "But I was the only one who could physically make the trip." "And I don't know how long I've got here." "But I do know that a long time ago... actually, a long time from now..." "I was your most helpless student." "And you unlocked my mind." "You showed me what I was." "You showed me what I could be." "I don't know how to do that for you." "You're right." "I don't." "But I know someone who might." "Look into my mind." "You saw what I did to Cerebro." "You don't want me inside your head." "There's no damage you can do... that hasn't already been done." "Trust me." "Come on." "Hey." "Hey, Logan." "Hi, Jean." "Kill me." "I love you." "You poor, poor man." "Look past me." "No, I don't want your suffering." "I don't want your future!" "Look past my future." "Look for your future." "That's it." "That's it." "That's it." "Charles." "Charles." "So this is what becomes of us." "Erik was right." "Humanity does this to us." "Not if we show them a better path." "You still believe?" "Just because someone stumbles, loses their way... it doesn't mean they're lost forever." "Sometimes we all need a little help." "I'm not the man I was." "I open my mind... and it almost overwhelms me." "You're afraid, and Cerebro knows it." "All those voices... so much pain." "It's not their pain you're afraid of." "It's yours, Charles." "And as frightening as it may be... that pain will make you stronger." "If you allow yourself to feel it... embrace it... it will make you more powerful than you ever imagined." "It's the greatest gift we have... to bear their pain without breaking." "And it's born... from the most human power." "Hope." "Please, Charles... we need you to hope again." "Find what you were looking for?" "The power's back on." "Yes." "Yes, it is." "She's lost too much blood." "She can't keep going like this." "We have no choice, Bobby." " We can wake him up." " No!" "They need more time." "I had... a glimpse into the past." "If we wake Logan now... we may set our fate on an even darker course." "They need more time." "Raven, stop." "Stop running." "Charles?" "Where are you?" "Back at the house..." "where you should be." "I need you to come home." "I know what I need to do." "If you kill Trask... you will be creating countless more just like him." "Then I'll kill them, too." "Those are Erik's words, not yours." "The girl I grew up with wasn't capable of killing." "She was good... fair, full of compassion." "I have compassion." "Just not for Trask." "He's murdered too many of us." "Shut her down, Charles." "Get in her head." "She's not letting me in." "I'm barely holding on." "I'm not strong enough yet." "I know what Trask has done... but killing him will not bring them back." "It will set you on a path... from which there is no return." "An endless cycle of killing." "Us and them, until there is nothing left." "But we can stop it, right now, you and I." "You just have to come home." "I have to?" "You haven't changed at all, Charles." "Like I said..." "I know exactly what I have to do." "Where is she?" "She's in an airport, boarding a plane." "A plane to where?" "Washington, D.C." "Guys, there's something I need to show you." "We're going backwards in time." "I set the system I designed... to record any news about Paris over all three networks... and PBS." "All three?" "Wow." "Yeah, and PBS." "Look what I found." "Tomorrow, in front of the White House, the President will make his announcement." "He will be joined by Secretary of Defense Laird... and has even sought the help of renowned scientist Bolivar Trask... his special advisor to combat this mutant issue." "The White House has asked..." "Raven doesn't realize... that if she kills Trask at an event like that... with the whole world watching..." "Then I came a long way for nothing." "And there's more bad news." "I saw in a report... they found traces of her blood in Paris." "For all we know, they already have her DNA... which is all they'd need." "To create the Sentinels of the future." "There's a theory in quantum physics... that time is immutable." "It's like a river." "You can throw a pebble into it... and create a ripple, but the current always corrects itself." "No matter what you do, the river just keeps flowing in the same direction." "What are you trying to say?" "What I'm saying is... what if the war is inevitable?" "What if she's meant to kill Trask?" "What if this is just simply who she is?" "Just because someone stumbles, loses their way... doesn't mean they're lost forever." "No, I don't believe that theory, Hank." "And I cannot believe that is who she is." "Ready the plane." "We're going to Washington." "You all right?" "Getting there." "Whatever happens today, I need you to promise me something." "You've looked into my mind and seen a lot of bad... but you've seen the good, too." "The X-Men." "Promise me you'll find us." "Use your power, bring us together." "Guide us." "Lead us." "Storm." "Scott." "Jean." "Remember those names." "There are so many of us." "We will need you, Professor." "I'll do my best." "Your best is enough." "Trust me." "There's 12 carriers inbound, 10 miles!" "They've found us." "Thousands of people will be gathered here today." "They've come from all over the world... to witness history, along with news crews... from at least 50 different countries." "Thank you." "Can I see your invitations, please?" "Yes, you may." "These two are with me." "Go ahead." "Thank you." "Logan!" "Please, this way, sir." "I haven't found her yet, but she has to be here." "The President of the United States." "My fellow Americans... today we face the gravest threat in our history... mutants." "We have prepared for this threat." "In the immortal words of Robert Oppenheimer..." ""Behold." ""The world will never be the same again."" "Can I help you?" "No, you can't." "Here they come." "This is for you, brothers and sisters." "Raven?" "I have her." "Let me go, Charles." "There." "You see?" "Secret Serviceman." "Left of the stage." " Got him." " Go." "What the hell are you doing?" "I didn't tell you to activate them." "I didn't." "Raven, please, listen to me." "We've been given a second chance to define who we are." "Don 't do this." "Gentlemen, you cannot pass this point." "We can't stop that many." "No, but we can slow them down." "Erik!" "Storm!" "Go, go, go!" "Go, go, go!" "Take us to DEFCON 3." "Mr. President, we are Code Red." "What's our air defense readiness?" "All our air defenses are ready one." "What the hell happened out there?" "I will fix it." "You said that before." "I wanted to make a statement." "Now the whole goddamn world knows we can't protect them." "I will fix it." "You damn well better." "Charles!" "Is everybody okay?" "No!" "Behind you." "Now!" "I'm probably not supposed to ask this kind of thing... but in the future, do I make it?" "No." "But we can change that." "Right?" "Do what you were made for." "Where are you?" "I got this!" "Go!" "Oh, dear God, no." "So much for being a survivor." "One of them is in here." "No, no, no!" "Don't kill it!" "I need it alive." "What the hell has happened?" "You built these weapons to destroy us." "Why?" "Because you are afraid of our gifts." "Because we are different." "Humanity has always feared that which is different." "Well, lam here to tell you... to tell the world... you are right to fear us." "We are the future." "We are the ones who will inherit this earth." "And anyone who stands in our way... will suffer the same fate as these men... you see before you." "Today was meant to be a display of your power." "Instead I give you a glimpse... of the devastation my race can unleash upon yours." "Let this be a warning to the world." "And to my mutant brothers and sisters out there..." "I say this." "No more hiding." "No more suffering." "You have lived in the shadows... in shame and fear for too long." "Come out." "Join me." "Fight together in a brotherhood of our kind." "A new tomorrow... that starts today." "All those years wasted... fighting each other, Charles." "To have a precious few of them back..." " Mr. President, sir." " Stand down." "I said, stand down!" "You want to make a statement?" "Kill me." "Fine." "But spare everyone else." "Very heroic, Mr. President... but you had no intention... of sparing any of us." "The future of our species begins now." "You used to be a better shot." "Trust me, I still am." "Get out of my head, Charles!" "Raven." "Please, do not make us the enemy today." "Look around you." "We already are." "Not all of us." "All you've done so far... is save the lives of these men." "You can show them a better path." "Shut her down, Charles." "I've been trying to control you ever since the day we met... and look where that's got us." "Everything that happens now... is in your hands." "I have faith in you, Raven." "He's all yours, Charles." "If you let them have me, I'm as good as dead." "You know that." "I know." "Goodbye, old friend." "Goodbye, Erik." "Are you sure you should let them go?" "Yes." "I have hope for them." "There's going to be a time, Hank, when we are all together." "What about Logan?" "Buckminster Fuller is a great example of an architect... whose ideas were very similar to those of a utopian future." "Good morning, Logan." "Late start." "Have a good lunch." "Good job." "Very good job." "Storm." "Jean." "Hey, Logan." "Jean." "Are you okay?" "You're here." "Where else would I be?" "Whoa." "Easy, pal." "Well, some things never change." "It's good to see you, Scott." "Uh-huh." "See you later, Jean." "Professor." "Logan, is everything all right?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I think it is." "You did it." "Did what?" "Logan, don't you have a class to teach?" "A class to teach?" "History." "History?" "Actually, I could use some help with that." "Help with what?" "Pretty much everything after 1973." "I think the history I know is a little different." "Welcome back." "It's good to see you, Charles." "It's good to see everyone." "Well..." "I had a promise to keep." "You and I have a lot of catching up to do." "Yeah." "What's the last thing you remember?" "Drowning." "The past." "A new... and uncertain world." "A world of endless possibilities." "And infinite outcomes." "You kidding me?" "He's alive!" "Countless choices define our fate." "Each choice, each moment... a ripple in the river of time." "What do you want us to do with him, Major Stryker?" "Enough ripples... and you change the tide." "I'll take him from here." "For the future is never truly set."

"Previously on The Fosters..." "I gave the money to Ana so she'd change her story." " You bribed her?" " I'll tell the DA." " I want $10,000." " That freaking woman." "I could kill her." "You are gonna stay as far away from that woman as possible." "You saw Ana Gutierrez in an argument the night that she went missing?" " Is this the guy?" " Yeah, this is the guy." " Donald isn't my dad?" " Not according to the birth certificate." "It says Robert Quinn?" "Until there is signed consent from Robert Quinn, the adoption of Callie Jacob is denied." "Told you I was gonna hit you where it hurt." "Your bones are shattered in several places." " He's gonna need surgery." " He's a pianist." "Our concern right now is making sure he can still use it at all." " What are you doing up?" " Can't sleep." "You?" "I remember when you used to crawl into bed with me when that happened." "Yeah, I thought I'd, uh, spare you tonight." "Hm." "Then you'd end up sprawled out sideways, your feet next to my head, kicking me in the face all night long." "See, I remember it as you headbutting my feet, actually." "Really?" "Then Mama would viciously attack your elbows with her ribs?" "Really?" "Yeah." "Sorry about that." "Sounds terrible." "Eh... it was pretty nice." "Back when that was all it took to make you feel safe." " How's it feel?" " About the same." "Still numb?" "What if I, um can't ever play again like I used to?" "Honey, don't think like that." "You can't think like that, ok?" "You just have to keep trying, keep at it, you know?" "Don't you ever give up on your dream, you hear me?" " We don't have any oranges?" " Sorry." "I think I took the last one." "And the bread?" "All we have are the ends." "This is like The Hunger Games." "You do know those books aren't actually about food, right?" "Sorry, guys, I'll hit the market today, I promise." " Good morning." " Morning." "Are we out of... ?" " Everything!" " Bacon, we've got bacon." "Have some bacon." "Come on." "I made it last night." "I want everybody home for family dinner tonight." " Five p.m. Yes?" " Wrestling won't be done..." " What about dance?" " Do I hear six p.m.?" "Anybody?" "I have work, I was just gonna eat there with Daphne." "But I will eat here instead." "Um, I'm supposed to go to the batting cages with Connor." "Batting cages, as in baseball?" "Yeah, Connor and his dad go all the time." "And they invited me." "I think that's great, sweetheart." "I never knew you were a baseball guy." "I haven't really played that much." "But who knows, maybe I'm really good." " Yeah, maybe." " Just have fun, baby, that's all that counts." "So, Mom, I was thinking about what you said last night." "About not giving up?" " Right." " And I think I want the surgery." "Try to repair the nerve damage." "Ok." "Um..." "The doctor said that it's a difficult and complex procedure." "And if things don't go as hoped, your hand could actually get worse." "Yeah, I mean, she said there's a chance of that." "She also said that if the surgery did cause damage, that it could... it could actually be permanent." "You've got almost 95 percent function now." "That's better than the doctors even hoped." "But if I'm gonna play piano, though, I need 100 percent." "So I'd like to give it a shot." " So we agreed?" "You're good?" " Yeah." "It's the right call." " Ok." " Ok." " I'll let Brandon know." " Ok." "Oh, and tell him if he wants to come by, that, you know, I'm here." " I will." " Ok." "Gotta hit the shower." " Let yourself out?" " Yeah." "Thanks a lot for letting me barge in like this." "Appreciate it." " Oh, no worries." " Ok, uh..." "You know, there's something I wanted to ask you, something Brandon told me about the night before he was attacked." "Mike was drinking?" "Yeah." "He had a little slip, but he's been sober ever since, going to meetings every day." "Oh, that's great." "Good for him." "Brandon said that he was in a fight." "Yeah, I guess so." "He blacked out so he didn't really remember anything." "Oh, gosh..." "But there was blood on his hands when you found him?" "That's..." "A little." "He was fine." " Was it his blood?" " Stef." "If you have questions about Mike's sobriety, you have to ask him." "Of course." "Of course I should." "You're right." "Sorry." "Thank you so much for the coffee." "Appreciate it." "All right, Jude, just keep your eye on the ball, buddy." "Takes a little getting used to." "Just hang in there, kid." "Um, you might wanna hang on to the bat a little tighter too." "Here, grab another one, all right?" "Hey, Connor, let's go, come on." "Throw a token in there, let's see what you got." "Come on, buddy." "What'd we talk about this year?" " Balance and torque." " That's right, come on." "Let's go!" "See what you got." "Hey, your head's moving all over the place, like this." "You're all over." "Connor, pivot the back foot." "Pivot like this." "Pivot." "That's better." "Hey, way to go." "Nice hit." "Good job." "Look, that front foot's gotta land in the same place every time." " It slipped." " No excuses!" "Come on!" "Hey, what's the matter with you?" "Your focus is all over the place today." "Need a refill?" "A soda?" " Uh, it's a vanilla shake." " Oh, yeah." "We don't do refills on shakes." " Yeah." "I figured." " Yeah, vanilla's my favorite." "It has to be really good vanilla, though." "You should, um, check out the place down the street, in the mini-mall on Olamar." "Best shakes in town." "Do you work every day after school?" "That's gotta be tough." "Um, no, just three days." "My moms don't want me to work any more than that." " Moms?" " Yeah." " Cool." " It is." "Oh, don't worry, I'll grab that." "Oh, thanks." "See you soon." "Oh... down the street, I'm telling you." " You're really good." " Not good enough." "I thought you did great, way better than me." "I'm supposed to be good at this." " Damn!" " What?" " Someone left us a hundred-dollar tip!" " What?" " A hundred dollars, yo!" " Oh, my God!" "Who do you think it was?" "I don't know." "Vanilla milkshake?" "He sure was chatting you up." " Please." " Come on, girl." "You know he likes you." " Shut up." " He wants some of that." " Daphne!" " If he keeps giving us hundred dollars bills," " he can have all the vanilla milkshake he want!" " Ow!" "I just don't understand why we have to do any of this." "Well, if you want him to sign off, these are his terms." "Yes, but it makes no sense." "It's not like she's asking him for anything." "Sit down, love." "So, Callie, we heard back from Robert Quinn's lawyer." " Ok." " And he won't sign anything until there's a DNA test, to prove that you're his daughter." "So..." "I seriously can't handle sharing the gym with the wrestlers anymore." " The gym smells like feet." " Well, that's appetizing." "And all the boys ever do is stare at us." "Pervs." "Well, it's not awesome for me either, hearing guys talk about how hot my sister is." " Which guys?" " Besides, I see the dance team checking us out too." "That Hayley girl, can't take her eyes off me." "Oh, yeah?" "Hayley, the one with the college boyfriend Hayley?" "She dates boys in college?" "None of the girls on the dance team date boys in high school." " Oh." "We'll see about that." " Better not let Emma hear you." "Please, I can handle Emma." "What?" "I pretty sure no one handles Emma but Emma." "Hey, Brandon!" "We'd like to eat, sometime this year!" "Jude, how did the batting cages go?" "Do we need to call the Padres, see if they need another big hit in their lineup?" " Huh?" " I don't think so." "Oh, come on!" "Planning my retirement." " Bread me." " Oh!" "Guys!" "So we, uh, make an appointment yet for the hand surgeon?" " Uh, no." " Why not?" "Well, I talked it all over with your father." "Is this about money or something?" "Isn't that what the settlement from Vico is for?" " Fix my freaking hand?" " No, Brandon, it's not about money." "We just, um... we just feel that it's a little too risky, Brandon." "And, uh... your father and I are saying no." "I don't get this." "It's my hand, my money, my life." "And I wanna play piano again." "Like, really play." "Why is this so hard to understand?" "I want the surgery." "Brandon, we are eating dinner." "Can we please discuss this later?" "Yeah, well, I'm not hungry." " So you talked to Mike?" " This afternoon." "And you just... decided?" "Shouldn't it be Brandon's decision?" "He's the one who got his ass kicked." "I wouldn't put it that way, but that's a good point." "What if it doesn't work?" "I mean, what if he can't use his fingers at all?" "Look, Mike and I talked through all of this." "And you made your decision." "Got it." "Hey." "Nice coat rack." "Yeah, well, might as well use it for something." "Brandon." "I mean, you can still play, right?" "Not classical." "Not the way I did." "OK, so all music is dead to you then?" " No, but..." " Well, it sounds like that's what you're risking," " if you have this surgery." " Ok." "Look, I had a future." "That's not something you just throw away." "But what if you're not throwing it away?" "What if it's just... a different future?" "What if it doesn't have to be that way, though?" "I mean, why is everyone focusing on the worst-case scenario?" "Ok, yeah, I'm sorry." "I hear you." "It's..." "I hate it when people assume the worst." " Like your birth dad?" " Yeah, like him." "I guess he owns, like, this big company or something." "So he is making me take this DNA test and... and sign this agreement that says that I'll never sue him." " That's crazy." " Like I want his money?" "Just sign the papers, and then sail off on your yacht and I promise I will never think of you ever again." " And I have to see him." " Why?" "'Cause we both have to be there at the test, to make sure that nothing gets switched or whatever." "I know you didn't want to know anything about him." "Guess I don't have a choice." "Some people do." "Just think about it." "I'm really busy, Timothy." "What is it you need?" "I, um, wanted to let you know that I've been asked to represent the teachers on the search committee for the new principal." "I know that you have, um, thrown your hat in the ring, and..." "And you should recuse yourself." "What I was going to say was I plan on being completely professional and keeping any personal feelings out of it." " And I hope you will, too." " So I'm just supposed to trust you on this?" "After you gave me your word you would sign the donor contract, and then suddenly decided that you couldn't?" "Yeah." "My client will be here any minute." "And my client was pulled from school for this." "I apologize, Mr. Quinn's been held up." "He won't be able to make it." "Will it be sufficient if you tell Mr. Quinn everything was done by the book?" "Absolutely." "He no-showed?" "Are you kidding?" "What a jerk." "He makes you jump through all these dumb hoops, the least he could do is show up." "I didn't think I would care." "You know, I had a plan." "I wasn't even gonna look at him." "And when I realized he wasn't coming at all," "I just got this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach." "He doesn't even want to see me." "Ugh!" "I just hate that he can make me feel like that." "I know." "That's the worst." "At least when my birth mom balls" "I can tell myself it's 'cause she's a drug addict, right?" "Jealous." "Don't hate." "I did kinda want to see him, though." "Just once." "Just to know." "Hey, uh, do you have any plans tonight?" "Um... no, why?" "Why do you care?" "Are you so shallow that you're afraid your social status will be diminished by a big brother who doesn't" "Yes." "No, but really, Jesus and Emma are going to some all-ages show tonight at the Groundspace to see this band that Emma's friend is in." "Now, Callie wants to come, but because Wyatt's out of town," "I'm going with her so she doesn't feel like a third wheel." " So why do you need me?" " We need a ride." "I feel so loved." "Um..." "I don't know, why don't you ride with Emma?" "We're trying not to be third and fourth wheels, remember?" " You have to come." " To listen to some high school garage band?" " Sounds like torture." " Hey, at least you don't need a fake ID to get in." " Too soon." " Come on." " So?" " Girl, please." "No one says no to Miss Thing." "He's in." "This better not suck." " Pull these two tables together." " Ok." " Emma!" " Hey!" " You brought a posse." "Nice." " Yeah." " Hey, man." " Hey, man." "This is your band?" "Yeah." "It's me, Jasper and my cousin Lou." "Not exactly Arcade Fire, but we can play a little." " Hey, you doing all right?" " Oh, yeah." "I'm ok." "It's not quite where I want it to be, but hopefully one more surgery and I should be back to top form." "That's great to hear." "We're on soon." "Um, Lou just pulled up." "Punctual as always." "A little help, here!" "And that's the end of my 20-second break." "Good luck, man." "So, Emma, what kind of music do they play?" "It's like an '80s pop vibe mixed with a little Black Keys." "Cool." "This is gonna be painful." "Be nice." "So, Emma, how do you know Mat?" "I think what she's trying to ask is, does he have a girlfriend?" "That's definitely what she's trying to ask." "That's not what I was trying to ask." "Do you guys want me to ask?" "Hey, Mat!" "No!" "That is not what I was asking." "He's single." " Lou?" " Yeah." "Lucy." "We're Someone's Little Sister." "You know the old saying:" "yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery." "So tonight?" "We rock your faces off."

"I got to." "I'm doing the work of two people until they can hire someone else." "Speaking of which, guess who's on the search committee for the new principal?" " Who?" " Timothy." "That seems complicated, doesn't it?" "Listen, I know that we could use the money, but, um, do you really want to be principal?" "It seems like it's a lot of work, and you are pregnant." "You know?" "Is it really the right time for this, right now?" "No, you're right, it's a terrible time." "But jobs like this don't come along very often, especially ones where I have the inside track." "So yeah, I want it." "And I don't want Timothy to ruin it for me." "I got it." " Hey." " Hey, come on in." " Hey, Mike." " Hi." "What's up?" "Uh, just work stuff." "Can I talk to you for a sec?" "I've got some "work stuff" of my own to finish." "Are you building a case to keep Brandon away from me?" "No." "What are you... ?" "Then why are you pumping Dani for information?" "You know I fell off the wagon, why not just come to me, Stef?" "I wasn't pumping Dani for..." "You didn't just drink, Mike, you got into a fight." " You had blood on your hands." " So what?" "You afraid I'm gonna hurt Brandon or something?" "No, Mike, I'm worried about you." "I'm fine." "Ok?" " I'm getting it together." " Where'd the blood come from?" "It's stupid." "I got into a fight." "At the bar." "Some guy was bothering the waitress, and..." "I must have broke his nose." "It was bleeding like crazy." "So you did..." "So you didn't see Ana that night?" "Is that what this is about?" "You think it was her blood?" "You were so mad at her, Mike." "Which is why I stayed away, just like we talked about." "Yeah, you didn't talk to her?" "You didn't see her at all?" "You didn't try and scare her off so she wouldn't turn Brandon in... ?" "Stef, I swear." "I did not talk to Ana," "I certainly didn't lay a hand on her." "Ok." "Sorry." "Ok." "Step together." "*** together." "Right, left, and turn!" "And pose." "I know what you're doing." "What?" "Hanging out with my brothers and sisters?" "Listening to a little live music?" "Look, I think it's nice and all, but I don't..." "Where were those dance moves when we were up there playing?" " Great show." " You were awesome!" "It was amazing, really." "But we have to go." "We do?" "We do." "Good job, man." " What'd you think?" " It was really good." "Come on, you're a musician." "You actually know what you're talking about." " Bring it." " Uh... ok." "Um, your energy was really good." "The songs are good, but, um, I don't know." "I don't think they were being articulated as well as they could be, I guess." "I know we're not as tight as middle school honors band." "You guys used to play together?" "Yeah, in seventh grade." "Well, then, you know that Brandon is a seriously great pianist." "Like, seriously great." "Like, even when I'm so sick of hearing him practice the same thing over and over again, that I think if I hear it one more time I might puncture my own eardrum," "I can step back and recognize that it's actually pretty amazing." " Oh, I remember." "He's super good." " He writes, too." "We could use your help with something, actually." " No, I don't think..." " Tightening up the sound, maybe get a few of the songs charted." "So, what, we play the same stale version every time?" "Well, that's only how it starts." "Once you know it, you can really play around." "Unless you guys like the fact that you most of the time sound like you're rehearsing, basically." "You're welcome not to attend our shows, if you don't like what we do." "No, he didn't mean, um..." "no, he's a musician too." "Classical." "Well, maybe you're just a little too buttoned-up to get what we're about." " Wow." "She's..." " Intense." "Yeah." "And I've got, like, 30 seconds to follow her before she quits the band again." "But dude, you got to come jam with us sometime." "I don't think it's my thing." "And it's definitely not her thing." "Just think about it." "We could probably use a little buttoning-up." " What is it?" " We're in a car." "So?" "So, like, our first time shouldn't be in a car." "Don't worry about me." "I don't need the whole candles and roses thing if you don't." " I don't." " Great." "So, come here and kiss me." " Could you..." "less tongue?" " Sure, sure." "Slower." "Ok, switch." " Kiss my neck." " You know what?" "It's almost time for my curfew." "We better..." "I better get home." "Ok?"

"Who is that?" "Just some band some kids at school started." "I miss hearing music pouring from your room." "It's always been one of my favorite things, even when you were little, and you weren't very good." "Yeah, well..." "You know, for what it's worth," "I think Mom and your dad are wrong on this one." "I think... ." "I think if you want the operation, it's your hand." "The only one who knows how it feels is you." "Did I really just hear you tell our son that you think he should get the surgery?" "_" "This is not what we do, Lena." "What happened to "unified front"?" " I, honestly, I disagree." " Fine, but you do not go undermining me with our son." " Our son?" " Yes." "Or your son?" "Look, Brandon is 16." "He's old enough to know that we don't always agree on everything." "And I wanted him to know that if he still believes in this dream, then so do I." "It's not a dream, Lena, it is a fantasy." "Do you really want to see Brandon devastated again?" "We can't protect our kids from disappointment." "And if it happens, and I'm not entirely convinced that it will in this situation, then we help him, we help him to learn from it." "Well, you have fun with that, because after all of the disappointments he's had over the last few months," "I am sick and tired of teaching him that lesson." "Hey." "So guess what?" "Moms just bought me Dawn of Armageddon 4." "Haven't even played it yet." "We can open it when you come over." "I can't spend the night tonight." "Oh, ok." "What about Saturday?" "I kinda can't sleep over at your house... ever." "What?" "It's my dad, ok?" "He won't let me." "Why?" "I..." "It's ok, just... tell me." "I know it's not true, but my dad won't let me sleep over at your house because he thinks you're gay." "I know you're not." "I just..." "I have to do what he says." "I'm sorry." "What if I was gay?" "What do you mean?" "Would you not want to sleep over at my house if I really was gay?" "Hey." "So... don't worry about last night." "It was almost curfew, and there was a lot of pressure." "Yeah." "But you still want to... right?" "Of course." "Um, Saturday night, we'll do it the right way, ok?" "Yeah, I'd like that." "I got it all planned out." "We can go to a really nice dinner." "Totally on me." "And then afterwards, maybe we can go to the beach." " The beach?" " Yeah." "What's wrong with the beach?" "Have you ever had sex on the beach?" "I know it's supposed to be all romantic and stuff, but there's sand everywhere, in all your business, and bugs." "It's..." "It's pretty terrible." " Ok." " What?" "Nothing." "It's just, you're so bossy sometimes, it's kind of a turn-off." "Bossy?" "Wow." "Well, I only said that because..." "No, that's cool, you know." "I'll just, like, turn my brain off whenever we're together." " That's not what I meant." " So what?" "Did I, like, trick you into this or something?" "Did I pretend to be someone else that you... ?" "No." "I mean, I like how independent you are." "I just feel like sometimes it's kinda like you're dating yourself." "Like it doesn't even matter whether I'm here or not." "Well, congrats." "It doesn't anymore." "Emma." "Emma!" "Your secret admirer's outside." "It's all about the Benjamins, baby." "Just what do you think $100 is gonna buy you?" "'Cause you know what?" "I don't want your guilt money." "Yeah, I know who you are." "You're Robert Quinn." "I Googled you, when you didn't show." "Ok, look." "I'm sorry." "I took your DNA test." "What else do you want from me?" "Five minutes." "So you've been what?" "Stalking me?" "I just wanted to see you." "If I wanted the best vanilla shakes, I would have gone down the street, right?" "I'm sorry..." "Look, you should know that I didn't want to put you through that test." "Ok?" "It's my family's lawyers, they insisted on it." "I don't want your money, ok?" "I want your signature on a piece of paper." "As soon I saw you, I knew there was no need for a DNA test." "You're my daughter." "I know this is really, really confusing." "Ok?" "Believe me, I get it." "But you need to understand that before I was served those papers," " I had no idea you even existed." " No." "My dad, Donald, he told me that you left after you found out Mom was pregnant." "No." "I never should have left your mom, that's the worst thing I've ever done in my life." "But I swear I did not know she was pregnant." "I loved your mom a lot." "I brought you this." "Just read it when you have the time." "Are you going to sign the papers?" "As soon as my attorneys say it's ok." "I gotta get back to work." "Hey, just wanted to let you know we found a body near that halfway house."

"And I know you know that we're not exactly on the same page on this." "But I don't know what to do, B." "If we let you have the surgery and it causes more damage, are you gonna blame us when you're older because we let you make this decision when you were only 16?" "And if we don't, are we getting in the way of your dream?" " I would never blame you." " But I would." "I'm your mom, B, ok?" "I'm supposed to protect you." "And, uh that's a lot harder... these days." "I don't know what the right choice is." "So if you want the surgery, I will talk to your dad, and we will consult with some other specialists so that we get a better picture of what we're looking at." "Ok?" "We're not saying yes." "But, uh, we're not saying no either." "Um..." "I think I'm gonna wait." "Yeah, maybe... maybe the feeling will come back on its own, right?" "That's what you want?" "Ok." " I love you, B." " I love you too, Mom." "I'm proud of you." "So, what are you up to tonight?" "Think I'm gonna work on this, actually." "Sounds like a plan." "Hey, guys." "Anyone wanna play Dawn of Armageddon with me?" "I just got it." " Isn't Connor coming over?" " No, he, um... he couldn't." "Oh." "How come?" "Well, I'll play with you, Judicorn." "Run." ""Dear Callie, My name is Sophia." "I'm 14, and according to my dad, I'm your sister." "I've never had any siblings, so when he told me about you," "I couldn't believe it." "My dad says we look just alike, so I sent you my picture." "I know this must be really weird for you." "It is for me, too." "But I would really, really like to meet you." "And I hope you want to meet me, too.""

"Previously on "Justified"..." "Boyd Crowder." "Carol Johnson." "I'd very much like you to be a part of the Black Pike security team." "I'm not sure if you're familiar with my background." "Oh, Boyd, I know all about your background." "In fact, it's what tells me you're exactly the man we need." "Well, you can ask me, am I growing' reefer, and I will tell you no." "Coover, you throw a dead rat at my car, you're telling me you're a mean son of a bitch." "There." "You happy now?" "Well, you violated your tether range coming up here, Arlo." "Brought you your damn money, so you can just cut this thing off my leg." "This feels quite a bit south of 20,000." " Take it or leave it." " The mortgage is upside down." "How much you need to keep the house?" "Is that gonna be your big play to win me?" "I have savings." "How much?" "$800, $900, easy." "Jesus." "What am I gonna do?" "The thing we're gonna do is put it back in the vault and..." ""We"?" "We'll take it through the marshals' entrance." "If this whole thing goes to hell, people are gonna know you're involved." "That's right." "Art." " Charlie here?" "No." "Mm." " Art." " Winona." "♪ Do do do-do do do ♪" "Evenin', Mr. Eames." "I already told you boys." "Call me Reggie." "Reggie it is."

"What y'all got in that bag?" "Ooh, what is in that bag?" "The good news is, Reggie, if you do the right thing, you won't have to find out what's in the bag." "Hello, Dick." "Well, how about that?" "If it ain't Mr. Boyd Crowder hisself." "La-di-da." "What are you boys up to now?" "Hmm?" "You got yourself some business up here, Boyd?" "Oh, same as you, I'd wager..." "Except, of course, mine's legitimate." "I tell you what." "Reggie, why don't you go ahead and tell Black Pike," ""No, thank you, not interested," and send Mr. Crowder here on his way?" "Mr. Eames is gonna hear out our offer, and then he's gonna make his own decision." "Listen, boys, I'm just trying to do what's best by my family." "That's what you should do." "You should do what's best for your family." "Tomorrow morning, we will be back." "That's right." "And your signature, Reggie," "We will be expected." "You boys having a good night." "Thank you so much." "Come on, Coov." "♪ We will be back ♪" "♪ oh, we will be back ♪" "You sign the land over to Black Pike, there won't be anything they can do about it." "Yeah, not anything legal."

"Maybe you're not." "I never played any baseball." "How'd you find me here?" "Tracked your phone." "Tracked my phone?" "Yeah, I called you a few times, you didn't answer, so I tracked your phone." "It's not like landing on the moon." "What for?" "Carol Johnson, that spokesperson for the coal mine." "Seemed like a bit of a ball buster." "You're going down to Harlan to be her security detail." "You guys need to be wearing a helmet." "I'm not hitting." "Uh, what are you doing in the batting cage, then?" "Yeah, I-I couldn't find one that fit." "Well, then you wear one that don't." "Okay." "Sorry about that." "The threat assessment identified judge Reardon as the probable target." "Seriously, guys, read the sign..." ""No spikes, no seeds, no helmet, no hitting."" "Nothing about "No beating the shit out of a teenager," though." "I guess that'd be okay, then." "Hey, I'll call the cops." "Kid, we are the cops." "I guess you should know how to obey the law, then." "Pick her up at her hotel at 8:00 A.M." "Take her down to Harlan to that town meeting."

"What busted taillight?" "This busted taillight." "Doyle send you boys to find me?" "I don't know what you mean." "But you add to that busted taillight the fact that you failed to produce a valid license or registration card, well, we got ourselves a bit of a problem here." "You tell Doyle and his brothers, if they want to talk to me, they know where I am." "But right now, I'm gonna take my things, and I'm gonna go." "I'm gonna need you to step out of this vehicle, Boyd." "I ain't gonna ask you again." "Can we please turn that off?" " You know, when I requested you, I..." " Requested me?" "Yeah." "When I requested you, I was told you were a stud U.S. marshal." "But all you seem to me is hung over." "Well, anybody tries anything, I got both hands free with which to shoot."

"Tell me when we get there." "It sounded like the kind of call someone gets from someone in jail." "Very good, marshal." "So, who we gonna bail out?" "Well, it occurs to me that you were there to greet me the last time I got out of jail." "Well, I won't be there the next time." "I can guarantee you that." "What makes you think there's gonna be a next time, Raylan?" "You arrest another of my employees on some trumped-up bullshit, we'll sue you for harassment!" "You hear me?" "!" "You all go poking the bear, and it's his fault when you get bit." "I'm sorry." "Are you talking back there about something?" "Excuse me, ma'am?" "Miss Johnson." "Oh, yes." "Doyle Bennett... just the man I'd like to talk to." "Boyd..." "You keep some pretty notorious company." "Oh, not nearly as notorious as the corrupt chief of the Bennett police department." "Well, if you're referring to the arrest of Mr. Crowder, you should know that he has an extensive history of criminal behavior." "And a busted taillight is the best you could come up with?" "You should be more careful about the people you hire." "I think Raylan would agree with me on that." "Huh?" "Oh, no." "You can, uh, go ahead and leave me out of it." "Oh, that's the role of the new, modern lawman... just stand by and watch corruption go unchecked?" "Well, he's right." "Boyd here is shady." "Of course, he isn't any worse than you, Doyle, is he?" "Or your company's mountaintop agenda, Carol." "As far as I'm concerned, y'all deserve each other." "And whenever this shit does blow up in your faces," "Guess what." "I won't be here to clean up the bodies." "You all have a good day, now." "I'll be in the car." "Did you at least get Reggie Eames' signature?" "Well, I got it this morning, but I had it in the truck with me when they pulled me over." "Then you're just gonna have to go back out and get it again." "This was a warning." "Next time, Doyle and his boys won't bother with some bullshit arrest." "You just keep doing what you're being paid to do." "If lines must be crossed, miss Johnson, how do I know that you're gonna have my back?" "I just bailed you out of jail, and I'm about to get your car out of hock." "Take those as gestures of my goodwill towards your role in our cause." "That was quite a speech you made in there." "Well, thank you." "I stayed up all night working on it." "That whole part at the end about you not being around to clean up the bodies... were you just being figurative, or are you planning on leaving us?" "I can't remember." "What's the matter, Raylan?" "You seem a bit agitated." "Do you get along with her?" "Maybe you're just feeling some anxiety about our current situation." "What situation would that be?" "Well, now, more than once we've found ourselves on the same side of a fight." "Okay." "Well, I'm on assignment by the federal government." "You're a hired gun thug for a crooked company." "Now, the only thing that we're on the same side of is, like, this car." "Well, if you need anything, Raylan, you let me know." "Miss Johnson, tell me again." "In your head, what's about to happen here?" "Just gonna clear the air, have a nice, calm conversation." "Nothing clear about the air around coal." "Do you know these people?" "I know of them." "You?" "Well, you could say we have some history." "Is that got a be a problem, marshal?" "No, ma'am." "Oh." "Ms. Bennett." "I don't believe we've formally met." "I'm Carol Johnson with the Black Pike Mining company." "I know who you are, Miss Johnson." "Glad you're prettier in person than you are in the papers." "I'm surprised to see you here with her, Raylan." "Uh, marshals service duty." "There have been some threats." "Oh, well, that's just awful." "Part of the job, I suppose." "Yeah, it's not easy being a strong woman." "Take it from me." "But you just keep doing what you're doing." "Don't let them see you sweat." "Oh, miss Johnson, these are my boys..." "uh, Dickie and Coover." " Hello." " Hey!" "So, what... uh, what brings you out this way?" "Need some travel soap?" "Toothbrush, maybe?" "I'm here to talk business." "Even with the law within earshot?" "Black Pike is all aboveboard." "No need for secrecy." "Everything I have to say on the matter you'll hear tonight at that fancy meeting you're holding." "Oh, well, I'm very glad to hear that you're gonna be coming, but I was hoping to talk to you before then," "sort out our conflicting interests." "And by "conflicting interests," I'm assuming you mean that Black Pike wants to rape our hollers and I want to save them?" "No, that's not what I meant." "I've already made it clear that you will hear my position tonight." "Nice to meet you." "Ma'am." "Mm." "You whoring for the mines now, too..." "Like your buddy Boyd?" "Coover, you touch me again, it's gonna be a problem." "I ain't afraid of you, marshal." "It's nice to see the work you done on your boys' self-esteem has paid off." "Coover, be careful, now." "You go beating on a federal, it can take years from you." "Boys, let's go, now." "That's enough." "You hear me?" "Coover, that's enough." "Stop it." "Stop it." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Come on." "Let's go." "You ain't gonna wear that to the meeting, are you?" "I just need five more minutes." " I'll come back." " That's not what I meant." "So, what was that all about today?" "Well, a little bad blood." "Bad blood?" "Geez." "What, like Hatfield-and-McCoy bad blood?" "A little bit." "Do tell." "Well, I guess it goes back to during prohibition, the Bennetts were running moonshine across the state line, and agents busted them." "They got it in their heads it was a Givens tipped off the feds." "My great-uncle Harold took a bullet to the chest, and back and forth it went." "I guess for me it started at a baseball game." "Baseball game?" "Yeah, high school." "I was playing for Evarts." "Dickie was pitching for Bennett." "I had already gotten two hits off of him, and, uh..." "Finish your story." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Uh, where was I?" " Two hits." " Yes." "Two hits." "Um, so, I come up a third time, and Dickie's first pitch was just Linda Ronstadt." "You know?" "Just "blue bayou."" "The second pitch, I got ahold of, but it went foul." "And the third pitch, Dickie put right into my head." "I hit the dirt." "When I looked up, the benches had cleared, and Dickie was pulling his foot back, put his cleats in my face." "And I just picked up the bat..." "Swung it, got my third hit." "Made his left leg bend sideways at the knee." "That accounts for that limp." "Givens." "State police just found a car registered to Kirby Jr." "Abandoned in a motel parking lot along route 75, 50 miles outside of Harlan." "You hear me?" " Yeah." "No, I heard you." "If Kirby Jr.'s on his way down there and taking those kinds of precautions, could be after Carol." "The meeting starts in about an hour." "Do you want us to send some help down there?" "None will get here in time anyway." "I can handle it." " Watch your back, okay?" " Okay?" "Thank you." "This, uh, threat level's been elevated." "You should reschedule this meeting." "No, no." "It'll look like I'm afraid to face them." "Well, perhaps your safety is more important than how it looks." "We're not canceling." "Raylan, you, uh, may be an idiot and you're certainly a pain in my ass..." "But we're going to the meeting." "It's not safe." "Well, then, you're just gonna have to do your job and protect me, aren't you?" "Never got a chance to tell you how sorry I was about your daddy." "We may have had our differences at the end, but we made a lot of money together over the years, and he didn't deserve to go out like that." "Well, I appreciate that, sir." "I know he regarded you very highly." "Listen to the two of you." "I think I'm getting a cavity, this is all so sweet." "Is that what you came here to talk about, Boyd?" "No, ma'am." "I'm not sure if you've heard, but I have recently been employed by Black Pike." "Heard the rumors, sure." "I was wondering what angle you might be playing there." "No angle, sir." "I'm just trying to live it clean." "As a gun thug for the mining company?" "You know what your daddy would have to say about that?" "Um, Black Pike needs your Indian line property to secure all the land around the mountain, and we are prepared to to offer you a lease..." " You can stop right there, son." "We're not signing that land over to anyone." "Technically the property is Helen's name." "You really come over here thinking we'd sign that land over to a mining company?" "No, ma'am, but I get paid to ask." "Want a snort of bourbon before you go?" "If I'm gonna deliver bad news, I best do it without liquor on my breath." "Am I gonna see you both at the meeting tonight?" "I've heard it all before, and you certainly won't be seeing this one." "Gift from my boy." "Well, it looks like Raylan Givens was here." "Speaking of which, have you seen him since he's been in town?" " Didn't know he was." " Although I did get the impression it wouldn't be for long." "Has he said anything to you about leaving Kentucky?" "You see any fast moves, anybody reaches into a bag or anything, you let me know." "Tom." "What happened to you?" "How are we looking?" "We're looking good." "We got six men around the room, and we're checking for firearms at the door, but since this is Harlan, it's kind of an uphill battle." "I know." "And your boys... they all got pictures of Kirby Jr?" "Oh, yeah." "If he shows up, they'll spot him." " Okay." "Technically, the property is in Helen's name, so you'd have to convince both her and Raylan's old man." "Raylan's mother pass?" "A long time ago." "What was a long time ago?" "I heard you had a bit of trouble this afternoon, evident by all the bruises on your face." "So, you can still see it?" "Uh, what's the plan?" "The plan is that if miss Johnson sees anything that spooks her, she gets down behind that podium fast and she stays down." "What do you want me to do?" "You, uh, if you see anyone pull a gun, step in front of it." " Evening, everyone." " Evening." "Ladies and gentlemen, we're here tonight to talk about coal." "And coal is dirty." "Always has been, always will be." "But it's till coal that provides more than half of the electricity used in the U.S." "Much of it coming from the heart of your great state of Kentucky." "Mining gives a good living at Black Pipe, just ask Raylan Givens here." "He used to be a miner." "Now he's a decorated U.S. marshal." "He was assigned by the judge to watch over me tonight, keep me safe." "I asked, "Why do I need protection?" "We're all friends here, ain't that right?"" "Um, marshal, if I may..." "Now your salary as a law enforcer officer is is about 1100 a week." "Isn't that right?" "Base pay, starting out, about that." "Same thing as what a miner makes, isn't that right?" "Uh, we get overtime." "And, uh, marshals get paid 52 weeks out of the year." "I put in 15 years." "That's... what?" "..." "Around 800 weeks of pay without a miss." "And if I have to take a day off..." "if, for example, I have a ferocious hangover..." "Or got your ass whopped." "Ho ho!" "Or that." "If I take a sick day, I don't get fired." "I get paid." "Well, now, hold on a second!" "There's two sides..." "two sides... to every coin, so let's..." "let's hear the other side." "Now, I grew up in a mine, shoulder to shoulder with the marshal, in fact, and you all know me." "You know my background." "You know my history." "It's not easy for a man like me to come by honest work." "But this woman, Carol Johnson, and Black Pike... they gave me a second chance." "Now, I believe they're here to stimulate this economy, make it fertile in infertile times, and what we need right now is jobs!" "I believe Black Pike is here to help... if we let them." "I believe they're here to help." "Now, I come into this county and look around, and I see empty businesses." "I see houses in shambles." "I see families struggling to make ends meet." "We can bring prosperity back to this land." "God put coal in these hills for just that purpose." "I believe that deep down in my heart, and I think..." "I think you all do, too." "Apparently, Black Pike is here to help us realize God's great plan." "And all they're asking us to let them do, is cut the top off our mountain." "Whop." "Well, my people pioneered this valley when" "George Washington was president of the United States." "And as long as we've been here, the story's always been the same..." "The big-money men come in, take the timber and the coal and the strength of our people." "And what do they leave behind?" "Poundments full of poison slurry and valleys full of toxic trash!" "Yeah!" "You know what happens when 500 million gallons of slurry breaks loose?" "The gates of hell open." "Those poundments are built strong to keep the slurry back." "The gates of hell open, and all that waste rolls down through the hollers and poisons the water and the land and everything it touches!" "Mining company has a... has a word for those leavings... doesn't it?" ""The spoil."" ""The spoil"!" "And that is what our lives will be if Black Pike has their way with our mountain." "With all due respect, Mrs. Bennett, Black Pike will replace the mountaintops and leave money... a lot of money... in the pockets of the working people of Bennett and Harlan counties." "Is that a fact?" "Yes, ma'am, that is a fact." "Well, that's something to consider..." "'Cause it ain't an easy life here." "No, ma'am." "To an outsider, it's probably hard to understand why we're all not just lining up and saying, "Where do we sign?"" "But we got our own kind of food, our own music..." "Our own liquor." "Yeah!" "Whoo!" "We got our own way of courting and raising children and our own way of living and dying." "And to protect all that, we have got to say "No, thank you" to miss Carol Johnson here and Black Pike Mining." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Which is why I will put up my own money to stop the landowners from selling their rights away to the mining company." "Now, just yesterday, Reggie here... hello, Reggie..." "Reggie here turned me down." "Sold out to Black Pike instead." "It's all right, Reggie." "I understand what kind of pressure you were under." "But sometimes we need to stop and remember just what it is we've got to lose..." "Which is why I'm inviting you all up our way tomorrow for a big, ol' whoop-de-do!" "Whoop-de-do!" "Everybody, come..." "Even you, Reggie And especially you, miss Johnson." "I want you all to see just what it is we are fighting for down here." "Give me that." "What's that?" "A firecracker." " A firecracker?" " Mm-hmm." "That's our gunshot?" "It appears so." "What are you doing?" "I was just thinking." "It exploded at a..." "a pretty ideal time for you." "You think I had someone set that off?" "Before the meeting got too out of hand." "Might have even gained a little sympathy for your side." "Any sympathy I had started to slip away when you said your piece." "My job is to protect you, not your company's agenda." "Well, I admit it was a well-timed prank, but I didn't have anything to do with it." "Hell, my heart's still pounding." "Want to feel?" "You've had enough fun for today." "Ava, you here?" "Get him!" "Get him!" "Now, it's just business, Boyd." "It's got a little warning for you here." "You got to go to another house, you got to stand up in that meeting!" "You're stupid!" "Ohh!" "Back off!" "Girl, you ain't shooting nobody." "What the hell?" "No!" "No!" "You killed Charlie!" "Get out of my house!" "Make me ask again!" "Out!" "Go on!" "You should have killed me, girl." "Come on, Coov." "Come on." "It's okay." "Charlie!" "Dickie..." " Come on." "Oh, my God." "Jesus." "I'm divorced." "You left her?" "She left me." "Why?" "You fool around?" "Not once in six years." "I went to Miami." "She left me for a realtor." "That's a sad story." "So, is the marshals service gonna reimburse me for the decimation of my minibar?" "It's the least Black Pike can do, after I saved you from that firecracker." "Are you gonna sleep in that chair tonight?" "I figure if I drink enough, I can sleep just about anywhere." "I have a big bed." "I'm happy to share it." "Yes." "I appreciate the offer, but, uh..." "Oh, but you... you might get in trouble with the marshals service." "I believe I'm already in trouble with the marshals service." "I have never been married." "I probably never will." "And your dad was a miner, and now you work for the coal company." "My daddy died." "I was at Columbia." "I switched my major from English literature to mineral and mining engineering, and then I went on to work for the company." "And you saved your love for your dog." "I have a cat." "That's what I call him... "Cat."" "I say, "Come here, Cat."" "I pet him, but he never purrs." "Yeah, well..." "All right, well, you better get some sleep." "We have an early morning." " Okay." " We gotta make one more stop on our way to Mags." "Yeah?" "Where would that be?" "Your aunt Helen's." "Just hold still." "Oh, I'm awful sorry, Ava." "You want to tell me what's going on, Boyd?" "It's pretty obvious." "The Bennetts are trying to secure those properties, same as Black Pike." "But Black Pike owns the entire mountaintop." "The only reason we're chasing those properties is 'cause the Bennetts are, too." "You can't keep doing what you're doing, Boyd." "No." "But if I can figure out what the Bennetts are up to, there might be a way out of this thing that works for us." "For us?" "Well, I don't know much, but it seems to me it always comes down to one thing." "What's that?" "Money." "The birthplace of the great Raylan Givens." "This is so exciting." "Try to contain yourself." "Helen, Arlo, this is Carol Johnson of Black Pike Mining." "First Boyd, and now you." "The entire world gone upside down?" "That's it... preach ethics while shackled to a government-issued ankle tether." "We already told your lackey Boyd that we ain't selling that land." "Now, you two, hush." "We have a guest, and we will act accordingly." "It's all right, Mrs. Givens." "I understand the reaction." "Hope you didn't do that to my boy's face." "Try to act right, Arlo." "My apologies, Carol." "Arlo will hear out your offer." "You come into town, you don't see your aunt Helen?" "Well, I'm seeing you now, ain't I?" "Only 'cause of Black Pike." "Well, yeah." "And what's this I hear about you may be leaving?" "What are you talking..." "Where'd you hear that?" "Boyd mentioned it." "Oh, well, if Boyd said it, then it must be true." "Well, you ain't denied it yet." "That's true, too." "Are you trying to say you're not thinking about it?" "I think about a lot of things, Helen." "I never expected you to stay in Kentucky, Raylan." "Oh?" " I was surprised you ever came back." " Me too." "And to tell you the honest truth, I wish you hadn't." "I loved you like you were my own, ever since you were little." "You were the reason I spent as much time as I did in this house." "You want the rest of that money before you go?" "20,000 Arlo and I took from the marshals?" "All these times I've been asking him for it, now you're just gonna give it to me?" "On the condition this cuts all ties between you and Harlan county, and I mean you leave all of it, including the Bennetts." "Why are you so concerned about the Bennetts?" "You want the money, you leave it all behind." "So I leave Harlan, you give me a bagful of money?" "Actually, I kind of like that deal." "Get down!" "Are you guys okay?" "Yeah." "All right." "Everybody in the house..." "Right now!" "Go." "Aaahh!" "Aaahh!" "Who's shooting at us?" "I don't know!" "You goddamn... that son of a... that..." "Call 911." "That phone hasn't worked for months." "You'd know that if you ever called." "I have no service." "Yeah, I know." "Hold still, huh?" "Get away from me with that knife!" "How long does it usually take them to get here?" "Oh, 10 minutes, at least..." "I don't know how long!" "All right." "Everybody just keep their heads down." "Stay away from any doors and windows." "And if anyone comes through that door, you shoot 'em Unless it's me." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Ohh!" "Oh, my God!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Who's with you?" "I'm alone!" "Look at me." "Where is your brother?" "Kirby Jr...." "Where is he?" "Those bastards!" "They killed my father!" "Look at me." "Where's your brother?" "Right now... you tell me where your brother is, huh?" "I think you broke my arm!" "Aah!" "Hey!" "Officer!" "U.S. marshal." "I got a shooter in custody." "Your radio get outside this holler?" "Yes, sir." "All right." "I need you to get ahold of the marshals in Lexington." "Tell them judge Reardon is not to leave his home." "A shooter outside waiting for him." "Judge Reardon... got it." "Oh, hey, uh, you get me some paramedics, huh?" "Boyd." "What are you doing?" "I figured it out." "I know what Mags is up to." "And what would that be, exactly?" "I'm gonna need you to put on a dress." "What?" "Why?" "'Cause we're going to the Bennetts' party." "Something pretty." "Well, they got Kirby Jr." "He was outside the judge's residence." "So, it's over?" "Not till I get u out of coal country alive." "You think the Peener clan's the only ones wishing you harm down here?" "No, I suppose not." "No." "I don't suppose you still intend on going to Mags' party, do you?" "Yeah." "Why we got to walk into that lion's den?" "I got a job to do, and so do you." "Give me a minute." "How we doing in here?" "I got a hole in my leg!" "How the hell do you think I'm doing?" "!" "He's gonna be fine." "We just need to take him in and make sure we haven't missed anything." "Yeah, now run back to your marshal service buddies, have them bring me out a new tether!" "Just like that, huh?" "Just like that." "So, what now?" "You head back up to Lexington?" "Soon." "There's something I got to do first." "What's that?" "Going to Mags' party." "Raylan!" "The whole reason I gave you that money is you agreed to stay away from the Bennetts!" "I lied."

"I kissed Guy?" "Yes." "In the hall." "We kissed in the loo." "No, no, that was Sue White." "(blows raspberry )" "You are a lovely little boy." "I want to know what would happen if I didn't pass my exams this time." "Oh, come on, Mum." "Don't you ever say that word!" "Joanna says you're to stop ringing her and she meant what she said." " Get your dumped mitts off my tits!" " I want..." "I don't want to..." "Stop it." "Get off me." "And then I kissed you - clearly not on purpose." "And then... and then I left." "Slitty, slutty, slots!" "Go on, sod off!" "You're all the bloody same!" " (Martin ) Caroline, are you in there?" " I do!" "Er, I mean, I am." "I'll be out in a minute." "Meet the girls." "Pinky and Perky." "(instructor) And the side stretch." "Breathe in." "And take the ball..." "Bloody shitting..." "Who let you in here?" "I want a word with you, and I..." " You've got one last chance!" " Get out!" "One last chance to have me back." "I'm Caroline Secretan, hi." "(French accent) Caroline Secretan." "Leave me alone or I'll get a restraining order." "Hello, I'm Caroline Macartney." "Caroline Macartney." "Hi." "Erm..." " Thanks for letting me stay." " Yeah, you're welcome." " Where did you sleep?" " On the sofa." "Oh." "Look at the state of me!" "I mean, my hair... (stutters )" "What do you think I've become?" "!" " What have you become?" " I'll tell you: a shadow of my former self." "A shadow of a pompous arse?" "(sniffs )" "Yes, well, if something bad happens, then on your head it be!" "If what happens?" "If somebody steals all your pens again?" "Hey, how are you doing there?" "What's that?" "What, in my teeth?" "Oh, that's probably one of Caroline's pubes." "That is embarrassing." " Martin, did I leave my watch in there?" " Erm... yeah." " Can I just grab it then?" " Erm, hang on." " Oh, great." "Thanks." " Mm-hm." " You OK?" " Hm?" " Are you OK?" " Mm." "I'm just going to go to work now." "How are you getting there?" "(grunts '"On my scooter'")" "Sorry?" " On my scooter." "I'll see you there." " Yeah, OK, right." "If something really really bad happens to me, it'll be your fault!" "You're just trying to cheer me up, aren't you?" " Yes, you'll be sorry!" " Wrong!" "All right, you know, just, you know..." "Don't worry, I'm not looking at your..." "leotards." "And even if I was, I'm a ra..." " What the fuck is that?" " My topmiler." "Your what?" "My new topmiler." "It needs a bit of cranking up" " I've got a semifinal on Sunday." "Oh, yeah?" "This is your Whiteleaf thing, is it?" " Whitliffe." " I've seen it written down." "It says Whiteleaf." "I was there for 12 years, I think I know how it's pronounced, thank you." "So, semifinal, eh?" " World Championship semifinal, yeah." " Sorry, World Championship semifinal." " How many people play Guy-ball?" " It's '"Gee-ball'"." "Of course, Gee-ball is Guy-ball, isn't it, actually?" "It's Guy-Secretan-ball." " Yeah, laugh if you like." " Thank Christ for that." "This country could soon have a new world champion." "God knows, we've got precious few of those." "To get to the semifinal, was it, er, two fixtures that you played?" "Well, I had a walkover in the first round." "Marcus Guisler had shin splints - big Austrian." "So that was, what, one match?" "One weedy match." "I did win it in five straight clappers." "What?" "Oi!" "Is that a...?" "Did you..." "Is that..." "Oi!" "Marty!" "Ooh, results." " I haven't managed to open it yet." " My fingers may be stronger." "Oh, no!" "Martin's results." " Well, open it." " I will." " When?" " When I'm ready." " I'll give you a fiver if you open it." " No." "I'll give you ten quid and a kiss." " No tongues." " No." " 20 quid and a hand job?" " No way." "Go on, name your price." "What, to open it now before I'm ready?" "Before I am properly mentally attuned?" "Yes." "£160." " I think I'll wait." " Yeah." "Right, here you go. 160?" "20..." "No, no, no, sorry, I meant... half a million pounds." "Ooh." "Too hot for me." "I fold." " Seen Mac?" " No." " Or Guy?" " No." "Typical!" "Even the available men aren't." " I love you." " What?" "Nothing." "I've just seen the face of Jesus at the window." "OK." "Mashed potato." "Right." " One..." " Yeah." "Two..." " Three..." "Ready?" " Yeah." " Go." " (makes aeroplane noises )" "One new message." "(beep )" "(Joanna ) It's over, Alan." "Never contact me." "You will never feel my supervagina again." "(phone hung up )" "I wish people would leave a name!" "Huh." "All work and no play..." " Do I get a medal?" " Your reward will be in Devon." "Devon?" "Oh, no, sorry." "It's heaven, isn't it?" "Yeah, that's right." "I used to get them confused as a kid." "You know, when people die, they go to Devon." " That's funny." " Well, not really, no." "Ruined my summer holidays - I thought my whole family was dead." "Mac, do you think you'll ever have kids?" "Whose are these, do you think?" "I have no idea." "Here." "Come here." "Oh!" "Ooh, Nurse Todd, but you look beautiful with your glasses on." "Oh, no, they smell." "Rough." "Phew." "See you later, smelly four-eyes." "Dr Caroline Macartney." " What is that?" " It's a kid." "What do they eat?" " Is it lost?" " No, no." "I borrowed it off someone, cos apparently women love it and I'm trying to pull." " Do anything for me?" "Is it working?" " Not really, no." "No, didn't think so." "Here, you have it." "Huh." " Hello." " Hi." "Hi, there." "Do you want..." "do you want one of these?" " Yes, please." " Well, you can't have it." "Don't forget you've got students waiting." "We were going to stop him, but we thought you'd be cross." "Mm." "Well, I think I've made my point." "Yes..." "Oh..." "Er, actually I might need a bit of help." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Anyone?" "Oh, dear." "Hello?" "I need a wee." " Hi." " Hi." " You all right?" " Yeah." "Just looking at those children." " I see." " I love children." " Really?" " Yeah." "I'm not a paedophile or anything, obviously." "I just think they're great." "Oh..." "I hate to see them suffering." "Do you like kids?" " Er, yeah." " Yeah." "I'm just getting broody, I guess." "There's one hell of a dad in me, bursting to get out." "Crikey." "You know, I believe that children are... our future." " '"Teach them well, let them lead the way'"?" " Sorry?" "It's Whitney Houston." "Children are our future, da da da..." "My God!" "My God!" "She knew what she was talking about." "Dr Caroline Secretan." "Hi, hi." "Dr Caroline Secretan." "I'm Dr Caroline Secretan." "Hi." "Hello." "I'm completely naked under here." "OK..." " Do you want to see?" " Not really." "I wouldn't mind." " I don't think I can go through with it." " Well, don't." "If I fail, I'm dead meat, and I'm up to my ears in debt, so..." "What do you mean, don't?" "Well, just pretend it doesn't exist." "There." "Out of sight, out of mind." "Right." "Right, blow." "Don't get any spit on them!" "I've got a doctor's pubic hair in my tummy." "OK." "Blow." "Right, fuck off." " Is it Mac's?" " No!" "Oh, can I get my results envelope back, please?" "Your what?" "Results envelope back, that you are sitting on." "Please." "What envelope?" "Right, I'm going to wait." "That part of the day we've all been looking forward to." "Nurse Richardson, perhaps you'd like to choose, movie genre or regional accent?" " Regional accent, please."

"Come on." "Okay, this can wait." "Let's go." "Nothing's happening right now." "By the end of the night, 100 million votes will be cast." "Polls have been open in the East for six and a half hours." "You know how many votes have been cast?" "One percent." "Everybody votes after work." "Not me, I vote first thing." "The VNS exit polls are down in Michigan for a little while." "And it's raining in Oregon." "This is like the ionization blackout period." "Pumpkin Patch, anything I can do to get you to the movies for eight hours?" " Senior Staff." " Yeah." " But can you do me a favor?" " What do you need?" "This is a photocopy of my absentee ballot." "I was hoping the president could sign it and I'd have it framed." " Yeah." "You know the president's the first winner I voted for?" " Is this a joke?" " It's not hard to believe..." " No, I mean this." " What are you talking about?" "Toby already did the thing this morning with the invalid ballots." " My ballot's invalid?" " This isn't a joke?" " It's invalid?" " You voted for Ritchie." " Where?" " Here." "Oh, my God." "Your picking-the-winner streak is probably over." "No, no, no." "It's an optical scan ballot." "I drew a line through the Democratic ticket." "Almost." "You drew a line through the Republican ticket." "You didn't ticket-split." "You voted for every Republican in Wisconsin." "Check." "You may have voted for McCarthy." " I'm gonna rectify this." " How?" "I don't know, but it'll be counted." " It will." " I don't want it counted." " I'm going, you still want...?" " Give me that." "Hey, I'm going in, okay?" " Hey, Josh." "No." " I'm sorry?" " It's the Senior Staff meeting." " I'm Senior Staff." " You don't have your briefing memo." " How do you know?" "I'm sorry." "Do you have it?" "No." " I memorized it." " Did you get my e-mail on the three new rules for the week?" " I got it." "I read it." "It was good stuff." "It's possible the salient details escape me." "Rule number two:" "You don't attend Daily Senior Staff without the briefing memo." "The agenda's outlined and there are up-to-the-minute details on priority items, and still half the meeting is spent regurgitating the memo for members who have difficulty holding onto salient details." "That's fair, and next time I'm gonna remember the memo." "I'm confident you will because you're gonna remember it this time too." " You want me to go back and get it?" " I do." "Okay." "All right." " I'm gonna humor the new girl." " Appreciate it." " Going to get your briefing memo?" " Yes." "Charlie, Security called for you." "They'd like to see you out front." " Security?" " Yeah." "What the hell?" "Anthony." "Michelle, he's with me." " Which one?" " The regular-sized one." "Who are you?" " Orlando Kettles, boss, how you doing?" " Fine, thanks." " Anthony." " Yeah, you know, I brought him today." "First of all, they're a little prickly about security here." "You're not down as"Anthony plus one." You see the guns standing around now?" "Boy's going to Columbus, starting right tackle for the Buckeyes." "True freshman." "I hand you the ball, run behind him, have coffee." "He's gonna play on Sundays." " You his agent?" " Don't have nothing in writing." " What's he doing here, Anthony?" " He got pulled over with an open can of Pabst." " He was..." "You were driving drunk?" "No way, boss." "He passed the Breathalyzer." "It was the open can of Pabst." "But Saturday's St. Erasmus Academy, that's a big game for a senior." " Wanna put a hurt on some blue blazers?" " Anthony." "Coach is gonna sit him down because of the Pabst, unless..." " Unless what?" " You know, you do your thing." " My thing?" " Write him a note." " Saying what?" " He's a good guy, Charlie." " He does his business." " I'm not Officer Krupke." "I have a job." "Try to think back to the days before you were secretary of state." "There are good guys and bad guys." "When good guys stop letting you play with them, bad guys have a recruiting field day." "When did you start talking like Mickey Spillane?" " I don't know." "Who's Officer Cupcake?" " Okay, you're seeing a musical." "Man, look at the size of him, Charlie." "He's not done growing either." "Who do you want him playing for?" "What else has he got?" " What else?" " Priors." "Nothing, man." "I swear." "He stole a goat." " A goat?" " Yeah." "Why did he...?" "No." "I don't care." " You got his Social Security number?" " Yeah." " Orlando, got practice this afternoon?" " Oh, yeah." "You're not going." "It's Election Day." "You're gonna spend it with me." "Yo, man, I've done wind sprints, I'll take the swap." "Follow me." "This is the White House." "Frederick Douglass came here." "Mondays through Fridays we wear coats and ties." "You too, Mugsy." "Hey, Charlie, not for nothing, but so you know some higher-end places provide a jacket for you." "Right." "You're confusing the White House with the Friars Club." "The people I work with are serious, so don't embarrass me." " You got it, boss." " We're gonna have to wait till the Secret Service..." "Sorry, man, that wasn't cool." " How you doing?" " You all right?" "He should..." "You should play football." "Hey, man, I'm trying, you know, but I had an open Pabst and that's the way that goes." " Yeah." "Let's go." "Rule number two:" "Daily Senior Staff will something the briefing memo." "I have the memo, I'm going." " Yeah." "No." " No?" "No, have you read rule number one?" "The salient details..." "The meeting starts on time." "If you're not there, you don't go in." " That's insanity." " Well, I'm quite mad." "There has to be a natural fluidity to these things." "It's how we work best." "You can't say that every meeting has to..." "I didn't." "The e-mail, which is exactly this long, in case as a boy you had a frightening experience with Balzac, and that's why you didn't read it says,"This applies only to the Daily Senior Staff meeting."" "One meeting it's gonna be important to be on time." "Well, I think that's a random cracking of the whip." "According to the last 300 daily diaries the president is typically 70 to 90 minutes over-scheduled by the end of the day." "The median time a day ends the over-under is 10:20 p.m." "As many days have ended after that time as have ended before it." "The result being, the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces hasn't had a night's sleep in four years." "That's both bad and easy to fix." "Okay." "Well, yes, that's hard to argue against." "I'll remember this talk next time." "I have confidence that you will." "Okay." "Well, I'm going in now, all right?" "Sweet of you to tell me a joke, Josh." "You're the funny one, I can tell." "All right." "This is your little part of the store and I respect that." "See what I did there?" "Respect." "No one's bigger than the game." " You're an example for the kids." " Yeah." " I'm going out for about 20 minutes." " Where?" "There's a polling place nearby, I'm gonna find someone to swap votes." "A Ritchie supporter to vote for the president to offset my absentee ballot." " Really." " It's Election Day, I'm doing this." " It's gonna take 20 minutes?" " Yeah, I'll be right back." "You bet." "Toby." " He can't talk." " Okay." "We're late for the first sonogram." "Big needle, 18 inches, right in the stomach, Toby, don't look at it." " Yeah, that's amniocentesis." " Hurts like heartbreak." " You've had the procedure?" " Not me personally." "Toby, it's a good idea to slip the nurse something." "Tell her you're hoping for a smooth second trimester." " You grease the nurse?" " He's kidding." "Give me one second, would you?" "I'll catch up." " Sports fans, this is getting exciting." " Yes." "So, what do you think, like, 50 bucks?" "I don't know, it's your first, it's twins." "I don't know, I think I'd give her 100." "Yeah, okay." "In your life you have never been on time to this meeting." "I wasn't actually." "I was just incredibly late to the meeting right before it." " Well, that's the trick then." " Yeah." "Sam, Will Bailey's on the phone if you want him." "That name sounds familiar." "He's a guy in California." "He's on the phone and I'm gonna talk to him now." " Yeah?" " Yeah." " Everything all right?" " Yeah." "California 47th." "He was the guy running Horton Wilde?" " Yeah." " They're gonna lose by 20 points." "Really?" "You're getting that from the exits?" " Yeah." " Great." " Great?" " No." "I mean, it's a tough beat what with dying and all." " Yeah." " I'm gonna talk to him now, okay?" " Okay." " Hey." " I think we're still up." "Josh says the exits have you down 20." "He means the tracking." "The last one was a week ago, then the DNC left town." " He said the exits." " Hey, when I said"exits" before I meant tracking." "They did the last one a week ago, then left town." "Yeah, they may have called that putt a little early." "Sam, it'd help if we could get added to the president's afternoon satellite." " We could use some radio at drive time." " Yeah." "Will, no kidding... ...drive time's also when the plants get out and the real Orange County votes that's when you turn into a pumpkin." "Don't get your hopes up." "No, just a good showing." "Cover the spread." "All right." " What'd he say?" " Don't get hopes up." " Are they?" " No." "Everybody on the street." "But we're gonna make history." "Roll Call has the pregnancy." "What?" "Roll Call has the pregnancy." "C.J. just told me." " When?" " A little while ago." " Why are you telling me now?" " I didn't wanna ruin the day for you." " Then why are you telling me now?" " I couldn't help it." " Roll Call has it from where?" " The Office of the Congressional." "Thanks." " What are you saying that to me for?" " No, I was..." "I was saying it to them." "I was asking it." "Out of curiosity, how long did you think this was going to be covert?" "These are twins, Andy." "You think you're gonna go on Meet the Press and Russert won't notice you're the size of a school?" "Why not just come out and say:" ""I'm expecting twins, I couldn't be happier." "The father's my ex-husband, Toby Ziegler, to whom I'll be remarried on a date to be decided upon." " I'm thinking Christmas."" " I'm not marrying you again." "Then say the first part at least." "I hadn't announced it because you don't in the first 12 weeks because that's when most of the things go wrong." "These bodies of yours, I don't know how you live with them." " They don't seem to mind." " I like the outsides." "Hello, Andrea." "Toby." "Hi." "Honey, if you're gonna get grossed out and faint, you should sit." " She's kidding." " How've you been feeling?" " I feel great." "Feel like you're getting enough calcium?" " What does that feel like?" " I don't know either." "It's just something we ask." "We don't even care about the answer." "You should draft a release." "Let that be my first act of fatherhood, drafting your release." "Go back to my roots as we all must go." "Now you're on offense, not defense." "I'm not gonna be on offense or defense." "The things we do in our lives many of them are not voluntary." " You don't say." "I think you've performed your first act of fatherhood already." "Yes, indeed." "So let my second act be throwing you a little press conference." "Sounds fine." "I, myself, can't make it, but you have a nice time, honey." "Do I need to tell you the first rule of damage control?" "No, but the next time you refer to this pregnancy as damage..." "Get the information out early, get it out yourself do it on your own terms." " That's three rules." "Andy, look." "I'm not kidding." "You gotta..." " What was that?" " That was..." " Did you hear that?" " Yeah, that was..." "Andy, you can see their heads." "My kids have heads." "My vote in Wisconsin is more valuable than your vote in the District you're getting big value." " How do you figure?" "The president's gonna win the District, it's certain." "But Wisconsin's actually in play and I voted for your guy." " How do I know that?" " I've shown you the ballot, look." " Well, that's a photocopy." " Of course it's a photocopy." " The real one's in Wisconsin." " Well, how do I know that?" "You don't." "This is an honor thing." "It's about honor and democracy." "I'm gonna go vote now, so please stop talking to me." "Fine." "You think I'm trying to scam you?" "I've been here two and a half hours trying to get one vote." "You think this is how I make money?" "Hey, you know what?" "No problem shouting in public, but I think..." " Take off the Bartlet button?" " Yeah." "Josh told me you were still here." "I was over at the place." "Thanks." " You wanna get a muffin?" " Yeah, I'll walk you." "So, what's going on?" "It's raining in Oregon." "Yeah." "Yeah, Josh was talking about that before." "Apparently all his other problems are solved." "If your guy's gonna win big, you don't want it to rain." "There's less motivation anyway because of the blowout and you have no idea how fast these things can become a race." " What do you need?" " A banana muffin, please." "I did something last week." "I went to see a guy named Will Bailey." "He ran Horton Wilde's campaign in Orange County and Wilde died a couple of weeks ago his widow wanted to know what Democrat would stand in for her husband, should he win." "I said..." " You're kidding." " You have to understand." "This wasn't something that cost me anything." "They weren't gonna announce unless Wilde won and that was never gonna happen in Orange County." "It's like the Secretary of Agriculture saying:" ""Sure I'm ready to assume the presidency should the 18 who come before me die."" " Why not?" " So why not?" "Because it's a two-point race right now." " This is very exciting." " No, it's not." "The prospect of going back on my word to a recent widow." "So why go back on it?" "Because the alternative is taking 90 days off to go home lose by 20 points to a Republican committee chair I hate and never be able to run for public office for real which is something I wouldn't mind doing one day." "Once 5:00 and 6:00 roll around." "That's exactly what I'm thinking." "Except?" " What?" " There's an El Niño thing going on in Southern California today and..." " No." "It's supposed to start raining in a few hours." "Okay." " Okay, I'm gonna go back to the office." " Okay." " Why don't you give me the button." " Yeah." "You're cleared." "You can come upstairs." "Thanks." "There are chairs up there that are over 200 years old." "Before you sit in one I wanna see written confirmation from the Army Corps of Engineers that it can support your girth." "You stole a goat?" "I'm assuming this was a mascot?" "Yeah, that was sweet." "I was just the legman." "Anthony's the brains." "Yeah, it had that international jewel thief feel to it." "What do you think we're doing the rest of the day?" " You know, video games, hanging out." " Really?" "I'm voting at 8:30, you guys will come with me, watch me vote, then go home." "Man, what good is...?" "I mean, they're not gonna let me vote." "It's like my face is pressed up to the window." "That's right, yet somehow, I don't care." "I'm old enough to vote." " You're 18?" " I'm 19." "They came to school to sign up people." " You're registered to vote?" " I think I might be, yeah." " Where?" " He doesn't know where." " I don't know where." " Well, let's find out." " Good afternoon, Mr. President." " Good afternoon, sir." "Hello." "Hi." " What's going on?" " Line one now is a DSS line." "It means Direct Station Select." "Pick it up, you get me." "What was wrong with the old way?" " You done?" " Yes, ma'am." "Thanks a lot." " I'm sorry, sir." " What was wrong with the old way?" " Well, this is better." " How?" "You don't care, sir, it just is." "I hear you've got rules for meetings." "Yes, some." "Yes, I do, sir." "You don't think that's apt to create resentment among people here before..." "It's not like the thing wasn't working." "Whatever you assume, that wasn't a rube sitting out there." "She ran the Oval Office for two years and a State House before that." "Yes, sir." "At any rate, line one gets you me." "What if, instead of you, I want a dial tone?" "That's line two, but you're not gonna want one." " Why?" " I'm gonna place your outgoing calls." " You'll place a lot of them..." " No, sir, I need to place them all." "I can make my own phone call..." " Sir." " I can make my own phone call." "Yes, but soon you might not necessarily remember that you did." "When I call, there's a record." "That's how you'll know." "And then you won't be worried about it." "That's good." "That's a good idea." " Is there anything else?" " No." "Thank you, Mr. President." "You and I haven't met." "In my life, I never would've thought she was a rube." "I'm sorry about that." "Debbie, I have to ask you:" "Are we talking about...?" "Did you bring it up because you...?" " Is there something today you noticed?" " No, sir." "Do you feel all right?" "Should I...?" "No, please." "I was talking about something else." "Line one is you?" " Yes, sir." " Thanks." "Will, you have Sheryl Cryman that's the County Clerk's legal counsel, it's blinking." "Sheryl, it's Will Bailey, how you doing?" "Fine, thank you." "There are scattered power outages in the Casa Verde precinct in Santa Ana." "Streetlights are going off in the only legitimately Democratic precinct I've got." "So if I lose by 100 because people couldn't cross the street who in your office would I talk to about election tampering?" "Thanks a lot, Sheryl." "I appreciate it." "Pull sound trucks from Laguna Hills, not enough foot traffic." " Put them in Anaheim." " Will." " When the hell's it gonna rain?" " Willy." "Don't call me that." "The die's been cast, big brother, you're making everyone crazy." "There's a moment after you cast the die, before it hits the table." "Breathe wrong, you'll change the way it lands." "Can I get a new weather report?" "There's value here, there's value, gotta appreciate the value." " A Ritchie vote in Wisconsin." " Let me ask you this." "Bartlet's supposed to be smart, right?" "He's smart, we're dumb, he knows best." "So what does it say when his people don't know how to fill out a ballot?" "Maybe he's a little out of touch." "Is that what it says?" "Maybe even with the president's supporters accidentally voting for the wrong candidate you're still gonna get creamed, fascist!" " This is an honor thing!" " Excuse me." "Yes." "Hi." " Did somebody steal your purse?" " Me?" "No." " Okay." " I'm on a mission." "I said I'd be 20 minutes." "It's been six hours and it's starting to get cold." "Okay." "You were shouting at no one." " Little guy." "Bow tie." " Long as you're okay." "Wait." "Hang on." "Do you mind if I ask you who you're voting for?" " I guess I do, yeah." " That's fair, that's perfectly fair." "Let me ask you this instead:" "Are you voting for Ritchie or the president?" " I'm gonna go inside now, okay?" " Lieutenant, I'm not a crazy person I'm not asking you for the bomb sequence on the USS Essex." " Be a man, tell me who you're voting for." " Ritchie, and you demoted me a rank." "I'm so sorry." "I'm seeing your shoulders now, Lieutenant Commander." "Reese." "Reese is a nice name." "Reese what?" "Lieutenant Commander Reese." "Jack Reese." "Can I talk to you?" "You know, this is the first election I haven't had to vote by absentee ballot." "I really wanted to pull the lever." "Absentee ballot, I know how you feel." "I'm from Wisconsin." "It's my home, but here I am in Washington on Election Day." "I'm usually on a Los Angeles-class sub in the South China Sea." "Don't trump me." "It's not a battle." "We're in this together." "No, we're not." "I voted absentee in Wisconsin." "I voted for Ritchie." "I meant to vote for the president." "Now I think you should go in there and vote the other way to make it a wash." " Yeah, okay." " Look..." "Really?" "Yeah, that sounds about right." " I'm Donna." " Jack." " Commander." " Jack's fine." "So why aren't you on a sub right now?" "I haven't been for a little while." " What's your billet?" " It used to be Regional Director for the office of Joint Chiefs of Southeast Asia, but I got transferred." "Nancy McNally's office." "She's the National Security Advisor." " You're working at the White House?" " Yeah." "Listen I gotta go vote, okay?" " Yeah, sure." "Listen, I've got a photocopy of my absentee ballot if you wanna verify that I..." " No, no." "It's an honor thing, right?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Now there are late exits showing even with white male suburbans in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia." "There's huge labor turnout, we're only losing Florida by seven." "Seven." "Toby, I think it's gonna be bigger than we thought." "I stare at this and I stare at this and I don't know which is the boy and which is the girl." "I suppose that problem will take care of itself." "You know, if you, if you stare at them for a while well, it's pretty gross, but still..." " I'm concerned you've turned..." "I see one victory balloon before this thing is called and..." "Yeah, you better run." "Nothing." " You read the stuff?" " Yeah." " It wasn't long." " Yeah." "I was impartial, right?" "I gave you the best and worst of each." "Hey, Mr. Young I'm not being disrespectful or nothing, but I'm just trying to concentrate." "Listen, this is easy." "You can do it no problem but if you need to, you can ask for help, you're allowed." "Okay." "Hey, listen, why does a guy who's heading off to the Big Ten care about playing St. Erasmus Academy on Saturday?" "You're gonna be playing Michigan and Penn State." "I don't know." "It's what I do on Saturdays." "Hey, you know what?" "I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the box or nothing but try rushing the quarterback, you know what I'm saying?" "You're not gonna get there, you're not gonna touch him." "You're up." "He's a good guy, you know." "He does his business." "He just doesn't like looking like a fool." " How long did you hang onto the goat?" " Three days." " Three days." " Yeah." "What'd you feed him?" " Cheetos." " Okay." "Hey." "Hey, Anthony, I voted." "All right." " I'm going again." " No, no, no, no, no." " Will!" " Come on." "Come inside and have something to eat with us." "Come on." " Will." " Now!" "Jesus." "Wow." "What else can you do?" "I didn't know I could do that!" " It's on." "You can see it." " Hey." "I'm not spitting, I'm not turning around." "Union households are beating non-union." " C.J. Can you pick up three?" " Yeah." "This is C.J. Thanks." " What was that?" " You'll see in a minute." "Nine o'clock." "Good evening, Mr. President." "I feel like I should be self-deprecating." "I mean, it's not inauguration, I can be funny, right?" "I don't think so." "It's the wrong note." "If I'm thanking campaign staff, maybe." " What are you doing?" " We've got some news." "What?" "What?" "You're gonna win New Hampshire." "With seventy of the precincts reporting, CBS is ready to declare Delaware... ... with its three electoral votes for President Bartlet." "Closing an hour ago, NBC is putting Maryland in the President's column." "With 22 percent of the vote tallied in Maine..." "Polls are closed in West Virginia..." "The polls closing in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania..." "Halfway around the world in Bosnia, in Chechnya, in Rwanda they dream of the promise we fulfilled today." "Of a future we choose, for ourselves, together." "Sam, what's going on?" "They're not calling it." "With 8 percent of the precincts reporting, remains too close to call." "My goodness, if you lived to be 100, did you think... ...you'd ever see anything like this?" " I did not." "Four years ago, we were joined by our highest ideals, by our best hopes and tonight we're joined by that same commitment." "To open new doors of opportunity and justice." "To ensure that the promise of this country is the birthright of all the people." "We've achieved so much together always believing, always knowing that America could be made new again." "And so it was, and so it will be again." "God bless you all." "God bless the United States of America." "We're gonna skip the parties for a while and head back to the office." "There are nine House races too close to call." "Tell him about California." " In the California 47th..." " In the 47th..." "You don't tell it well." "In the 47th, Horton Wilde, who's dead, is losing by 88 votes." " It was a perfect storm." " It was." "Low Republican turnout because the president won the Midwest." "Low supporter turnout because Webb had no opponent and the DNC gave up on it a week ago, so the RNC left town and they never saw the exits your guy, Will Bailey, was seeing." "Plus there was an actual storm." "I tell it fine." "We're gonna be up all night with these." "It's gonna be fun." "We should go." " That was wonderful." " That was fun." " How are you feeling?" " I feel great." " You want a glass of water?" " No, I'm fine." "You seem a little dry." " Sure you don't want a glass of water?" " Yeah." "Maybe I should get you a glass of water just in case you can hold it in your hand." "How'd you know?" "You were off the prompter." "Just for a minute at the end." "I couldn't see it." "It's all right." "There are gonna be more days like this." "It starts now." "It's gonna be harder this time." "Yeah, I know." "We can still have tonight, though, right?" "You got lots of nights." "Smart people who love you are gonna have your back." "All right." "Excuse me." "You wanna take another curtain call?" "Sure."

"Miss Bai, I think we can get food up ahead." "Okay, Let's go see." "Go." "I just want one bowl." "One bowl?" "For all of you?" "Teacher, I want to go back to Stone City!" "We're going to a new school." "We're not going back." "Here, reach out your hands." "No matter what happened before, we must look ahead." "We are the bravest and strongest." "We're a family, and we'll always stay together, remember?" "Yes!" "Food is coming" "Dry your tears!" "Look, it's Pigsy!" "Your noodles" "Here it is." "Let's eat!" "I want some!" "Take it easy." "Waiter!" "Sir, do you want the bill?" "It's 10 dollars in total." "This is a robbery!" "There's a robbery, run!" "If you wish to escape unharmed," "Behave and put all your money on the table." "Listen," "Today our knives will fly." "Your money better flow," "Or else your blood will flow!" "You hear me?" "Don't move!" "R... robbery" "Goddammit!" "R... robbery" "Come on!" "Right now is lunch time!" "Everyone is supposed to be eating!" "It's so rude to rob us now!" "Food comas are very uncomfortable." "I care about my health." "After I eat, I want to sleep." "When I sleep, I hate to be interrupted!" "Can't you be a more professional robber?" "You should come back at night for a R-r-robbery." "I'll show you robbery!" "I'll show you robbery!" "Shouldn't you hide yourself?" "You interrupted my nap!" "Food comas are very uncomfortable!" "Robbing by day is for amateurs!" "Come back at night!" "I feel much better." "Stay here." "My arm is breaking!" "Spare us, Hero!" "Bad boys!" "Hey Boss, keep the change." "Pigsy is amazing!" "For the noodles." "Hero!" "Hero?" "Who?" "Thank you." "Thank you for helping us." "Girls sure are brazen these days." "Mantou," "He's not Pigsy after all." "He's the Monkey King!" "In 1914, China was divided by many powers," "And warlords battled one another." "Cao Ying was the most vicious among them." "His army spread fear through slaughter, and everywhere he conquered became hell on Earth." "People fled for their lives, losing everything they had." "Pucheng" "Sheriff Yang is back!" "Sheriff Yang!" "Sheriff!" "Sheriff is back!" "Daddy!" "Sheriff is back!" "Meal time!" "I'm starving." "I have an announcement." "Warlord Cao Ying's army has taken Stone City." "Due to this military emergency, our troops have been transferred to the front lines." "Pucheng won't have military protection." "For now, they will rely on us, the guardians." "The army has gone to war while we maintain order." "That's fine!" "We have Sheriff Yang to lead us." "Isn't that right?" "Yes?" "Let's eat!" "Time to eat!" "Eat up, Sheriff." "Sheriff!" "There are many refugees at the gate." "Our villagers won't let them in." "They're kicking up a big fuss!" "Stand back, everyone!" "Calm down, don't push!" "Stand back!" "Don't crowd!" "No, there is no more room in the city!" "Calm down." "Sir, we escaped from Stone City!" "The Cao Army took our houses!" "We are homeless now!" "Please take us in!" "Please, we beg you!" "Get up now..." "Listen to me." "Can you bear to watch refugees wander and starve?" "Many of you aren't Pucheng natives" "And came during the famine 20 years ago" "We accepted you then" "And have lived well together." "That's right!" "Think about it." "If we Pucheng people were the ones in trouble," "Wouldn't we also want a temporary place to stay?" "Let's obey the Sheriff!" "We'll help in any way we can." "All right?" "Yes!" "I'll provide bread!" "Fellow villagers!" "Let's also help them!" "Some can stay at my home!" "Good!" "We'll help in any way we can!" "Cousin!" "Cousin!" "Cousin!" "Why are you...?" "Cousin!" "Let me take her." "Cao soldiers charged into the school and killed many teachers and students because Cao Shaolun didn't like us reading." "I saw Cao Shaolun when he killed." "He looked like a demon!" "I was able to escape with some of the children." "Teacher Bai, please settle here for now." "We won't let ourselves be bullied." "You'll be fine here." "Once you're in Pucheng" "Have no fear!" "I'll take good care of you." "Don't worry!" "Go take a look." "Halt!" "What is your purpose here?" "Halt, halt!" "Crashing around like that;" "do you have a deathwish?" "Are you deaf?" "They told you to stop!" "You ran into people!" "What are you up to?" "Your city's richest man" "Boss Liu invited us here!" "Out of our way!" "You look like you're up to no good." "Let me tell you," "Everyone who comes here must register." "You forced me into this." "You're just a small local guard!" "I'm Wang!" "Since this is our first visit," "We will give you a show of force!" "Men!" "Don't help me!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "This move is called "Eat Dog Poop"!" "That's it?" "Are you all right?" "Of course I'm fine, get him!" "Yes, sir!" "Stop now!" "Boss Liu!" "Kenan, please don't misunderstand." "Don't make it worse." "These are protectors I have hired." "That's right." "The army has abandoned your city." "Cao Ying's army might be here any minute." "You know that, don't you?" "If not for visionary Boss Liu's" "Foresight to hire protectors," "Who will be in charge of our safety?" "You guardians?" "The few of you?" "In real combat, what use are they?" "Sheriff Yang!" "Why did the army abandon us?" "Will the battle begin tomorrow?" "Listen to me!" "The army has just gone to the front lines." "They did not abandon us." "Don't worry!" "Monkey King!" "Monkey King?" "Taiping!" "Taipir19" "How many times have I asked you to wake me up?" "We've been through this!" "You know I'm a lazy pig!" "You want me to fall to my death?" "I won't buy you any food next time!" "All right." "Stand down." "Sure!" "Men, do what Boss Liu wants." "Monkey King..." "Monkey King..." "Quiet!" "Let's go." "Boss, trim my beard." "Have a seat." "Sure," "Right away." "What style do you want?" "Who are you?" "Seems that I don't know you." "I am the Sheriff of Pucheng." "Handlebar, short moustache, goatee..." "What style would you like?" "Do your best;" "I'm so handsome anyway." "Miss Bai said you rescued the children." "What is your purpose in Pucheng?" "I didn't choose to come." "I go wherever Taiping wants me to." "Taiping?" "My horse." "What style are you going to out?" "I'm still thinking." "What do you do?" "I'd also like to know." "I have nothing to do today and tomorrow." "Hey man, can you concentrate?" "Trim my beard." "A wanderer... passing through here?" "When are you leaving?" "Ask Taiping." "Anyideas?" "None yet." "Let me ask you..." "How about handlebar mustache?" "Would it make me more handsome?" "You would look lecherous." "Like a bad guy!" "How can you tell who is good or bad?" "Bad guys have no morals." "Don't you believe in justice?" "Yes." "But believing is not enough." "It must be enforced." "There can be no justice, without enforcement." "I still don't know..." "Your name." "I'm Yang Kenan." ""Ke" as in kissing?" ""Nan" as in Nancy?" ""Ke" as in conquer, "nan" as in hardship." "Honoured." "I'm Ma Feng." "The nation is in chaos," "But not in Pucheng." "You should leave soon." "All I want is simple:" ""Taiping" (Peace)." "Just like your horse's name." "Remember to register!" "You're done?" "How much?" "Depends on how happy you are!" "So handsome!" "Hero!" "Hero!" "Come on!" "Can't you let me sleep in peace?" "I'm sorry to interrupt your rest." "We've met." "It's late, but I came to ask you a favour." "I'm Bai Ling, a teacher." "Just stop!" "I know what you want." "Let me tell you," "I'm not a loose man." "Don't misunderstand." "I'm taking some orphans to the Capital." "But the route is fraught with danger." "I'd like to ask you to protect us on the way." "Do you know me?" "What kind of person am I?" "I know you are a good man." "Wrong!" "I do everything except what is good." "Please go home." "Hero!" "I beg you, please help them!" "Their parents have been murdered!" "Only you can guarantee their safety" "And bring them to their relatives in the Capital..." "Can you please stop talking?" "Besides being a bad guy, I'm a very busy man!" "Do I look like I have nothing to do?" "Hero..." "Do you have money?" "Money..." "Yes!" "I'm a very bad, very busy man who loves money!" "I work for money, not for people." "$100 Republic dollars, do you have it?" "A hundred?" "Do you have it?" "If you do, I can help you." "I have an idea." "See if you're interested." "You actually don't look bad." "If you get dressed up and made up you could be sold at a good price." "I won't disturb you anymore." "I know you want me to give up on this." "Get some rest; good night." "Teachefl" "Why must you help those little urchins?" "Is she asleep?" "Yes." "Look." "That's you." "The hairdo." "Those eyebrows." "Look, a hole." "She has your eyebrows." "Move those into the cart." "We'll have some noodles and get going." "Be careful!" "Take your time." "Hurry!" "I'll put this here." "Good." "Go inside for noodles." "Yes;" "let's eat." "Good morning, sir!" "You're dressed to go hunting." "Are you lost?" "Come in, have a seat." "No one else is open yet." "This way, please." "We just opened; excuse the mess." "The kid is sick, so I slept in a bit." "Please sit down, sir." "There are so many mountain trails so hunters always get lost around here." "Where are you from?" "Did you come from Stone City?" "Really!" "You're so lucky to have escaped." "Stone City must be hellish now," "Being taken over by Cao." "There's no peace there any more." "That dog of a warlord!" "Dog of a warlord?" "Isn't Cao Ying a dog of a warlord?" "That dog of a warlord's bastard son," "Cao Shaolun, is even more like a bastard!" "He's a beast among beasts!" "A beast among beasts?" "Do you have something against him?" "Yes." "My cousin taught at Stone City." "If it weren't for that cold-blooded killer, that inhuman Cao Shaolun," "All those children wouldn't be orphaned!" "My cousin wouldn't suffer such hardship!" "Here comes my cousin now." "If you don't believe me, ask her yourself!" "She watched the bastard commit murder!" "I, Li Tieniu, swear to" "Curse him all my life." "May he go to hell when he dies!" "May he never be reincarnated!" "If he has a son," "May he be cursed!" "Cousin, stop it!" "Let me talk to him." "I'll make you some noodles!" "You must taste Tieniu's beef noodles." "Sure." "No scallions, please." "You know me?" "I do." "Come, have some tea." "I beg you, let them go." "Sit." "Do I look like a murderer of innocents?" "Then I'm finished!" "If I have a son, will he really be cursed?" "What will happen if I have a daughter?" "What did I do wrong?" "We are ordinary people." "We don't know each other!" "why do you kill people?" "Killing people is no big deal." "I've been killing since I was 8." "My father told me then," ""Son, it's no problem!" "Kill whoever you want." "You're Cao Ying's son."" "This is nonsense." "You're a teacher and you don't understand such a simple fact?" "How can you teach the next generation?" "With brute power there is no justice." "When you have power, others will fear you." "Those who don't..." "Only meet with death." "I'll play a game with you." "If I lose I'll leave right away." "If I Win..." "You all must die." "Let's bet on whether my noodles will come with scallions." "You choose." "No?" "Then I'll choose." "Since he has been telling me off," "I'm sure he's put a lot of scallions in it!" "Here you are, sir!" "Enjoy Tieniu's Beef Noodles while they're hot!" "I don't eat beef!" "Go see what's going on!" "Run, Dayuan!" "Dayuan!" "Run fast!" "Teacher Ba"!" "Look!" "Run fast!" "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you, you demon!" "It's really not my fault!" "Hurry, go see!" "What was that?" "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "Teacher Bai..." "Teacher Bai..." "Murderer!" "Murderer;" "I'll fight you to the death!" "He must be punished!" "He's a killer; execute him!" "It should be done right here!" "Quiet, everyone!" "This man came to Pucheng and killed our Tieniu," "A Stone City teacher, and a child today." "Our governor has left the city" "So Sheriff Yang will be in charge of the murderer's trial." "What is your name?" "Where did you come from?" "Why did you kill those three people?" "I just went in to eat noodles" "But the kid came and grabbed my gun!" "I was going to get it back but the gun went off!" "The boss came to beat me up." "I asked him to stop; he didn't." "I shot and killed him." "I didn't mean to." "Liar!" "You did it on purpose; stop arguing!" "So you killed all three of them?" "They were accidents." "All three murders were accidents?" "You won't say your name" "Or where you're from." "You're speaking only nonsense." "Since you admit to the murders," "As the Sheriff of Pucheng" "I must sentence you, the nameless, to death." "Liao, summon the executioner." "Yes, sir!" "According to the law," "This man's dog of a head can be removed" "Early tomorrow morning." "Hurrah..." "What's this?" "Halt!" "What is your purpose?" "I came to pick up Junior Commandant." "What Junior Commandant?" "Go!" "Go now!" "Junior Commandant, I deserve to die" "For coming so late!" "Please spare us, Junior Commandant!" "Is everything all right?" "He is the son of General Cao Ying," "Junior Commandant Cao!" "What?" "He's Cao Ying's son?" "Release him now!" "You're on my turf." "You cannot demand his release." "So what if Cao Ying is his father?" "He is a murderer." "He will be executed tomorrow morning." "My army will arrive tomorrow." "When General Cao takes over Pucheng," "We will be the law." "Release him!" "We'll talk when you've fought your way in." "If you dare to steal him away," "I will execute him on the spot." "Stop it, don't be reckless!" "Don't you dare!" "Try us." "May I remind you," "If he dies," "The entire city will be buried with him!" "Colonel Zhang," "Those who break the law must be punished." "Even I, the Junior Commandant." "Put down your guns!" "Go back." "Yes, sir." "You only have one day's time." "Listen carefully!" "Tomorrow morning," "I will lead the army into the city for him." "If even a hair is missing on his head," "This whole city will be covered with corpses" "And the rivers dyed red with blood!" "I'll play a game with you:" "In one day," "I want you to release me with your own hands." "Lock him up!" "What do we do now?" "Everyone, don't worry." "Calm down." "Kenan!" "Kenan!" "I think we should probably let him go." "He is Cao Ying's son..." "The Junior Commandant!" "If we kowtowed and apologized," "Perhaps..." "No!" "He's a murderer who will be executed tomorrow!" "Since that is how you feel," "Kenan," "I'm not going to die with you." "Out of the way!" "What are you looking at?" "Go home and wait to die!" "I'll notify the army to back us up." "Don't worry," "Go home now." "Colonel," "Why didn't we grab Junior Commandant?" "If anything goes wrong, we'll die." "Don't you know what kind of man he is?" "If he's having fun he won't stop." "If he wanted them dead we would have killed them already." "Besides we want to reign a city," "Not destroy it." "They won't harm Junior Commandant." "Come with me tomorrow morning to get him." "But..." "Say no more!" "BuHocks!" "He thinks he's Commander pet." "If anything happens to Junior," "We will be the ones to die, not he." "Yes." "What's so scary about local guardians?" "Are you leaving now?" "Why would I stay?" "Here is a letter." "I found it among Miss Bai's things." "Sorry," "It didn't have an envelope, so I opened it." "The letter is for you." "The children are now with the Guardians." "Hero," "You've helped us before," "So I know you have feelings." "I didn't mean to interfere with your wanderings," "But as a teacher" "I cannot leave my students in mortal danger." "Unfortunately, I am weak and alone and unable to handle the prospect." "I was desperate for a long time." "I am writing this letter to you." "Please take them safely to the Capital." "I am willing to be your slave for the rest of my life," "Waiting on you hand and foot" "And doing all your bidding" "To make up for your $100 fee." "Talk is cheap," "So this letter shall serve as evidence" "Bai Ling bows to you." "Sheriff," "You have arrested the murderer for Bai Ling." "I drink to you." "I don't drink while on duty." "Just one drink!" "I'll toast with tea." "So stubborn!" "Let me ask you," "This decision you made today..." "Aren't you afraid of harming your family?" "I am." "And that's why I must not back down." "The colonel who came today..." "We studied under the same Master." "His name is Zhang Yi." "He is a man of his word and a martial arts expert." "You're no match for him." "So what?" "Do you think I'll just give up like that?" "What about those three lives?" "Then why did you toast me earlier?" "One lives through one's conscience." "I will bring the children to the Capital." "You Will?" "Yes." "Because"." "One time, I received... a request I couldn't refuse." "A test of one's conscience." "I have to go out for a while, will be back soon." "Be careful it doesn't catch fire!" "See that it doesn't catch fire!" "Don't you not want this?" "I see your forehead is dark," "Nose hair is too long; ears stick out too much." "You won't live past tonight." "You don't believe me?" "Then never mind!" "Prison raid!" "Where is Junior Commandant?" "In hell!" "In hell?" "Guang!" "Release Junior Commandant!" "Shun!" "What is it?" "They are coming to raid the prison!" "Let's" "Don't go after them!" "Save Guang first!" "Guang!" "Guang!" "I'm going to kill him!" "Zhang Wu!" "Wu!" "Let him down now!" "Now!" "Lift him up!" "Let him down; quickly!" "He cannot die!" "Down!" "Wake up... you can't die!" "Wake up!" "So now I can't die?" "That look on your face..." "Why the hurry to hang yourself?" "I would have granted your wish tomorrow." "Tomorrow" "At least half the people here will die." "Halt!" "Who are you?" "Colonel," "You have a visitor outside the tent." "Bring him in." "Yes, sir." "Yi." "It seems" "You have been very free these years." "It's been all right." "The facial hair suits you." "Thank you." "I can win on looks if not by fighting." "Shameless!" "You don't believe me?" "Wanna try and see?" "Try and see?" "No one has dared to speak to me like this!" "You're bold." "Of course." "You're now the high and mighty" "Colonel Zhang." "Who would dare to joke with you?" "Look at these two dragons." "You've achieved your goal." "This is just the start." "I want to go further." "Congratuations." "And you?" "Your grand wanderings..." "How are they going?" "I just started." "I want to see how far I will go." "I already asked you to make a new world with me." "But you wouldn't listen." "Come work for me." "Work for you?" "Doing what?" "Be a battalion commander for now." "After a few battles," "I will give you" "My rank of colonel." "Battalion Commander sounds good." "Battalion Commander..." "Does a battalion commander have to..." "Fight and kill" "From here..." "To here" "And then to here..." "Pucheng." "Speaking of Pucheng," "I pity the residents there." "They'll all be dead tomorrow, right?" "I've already said" "To let the Junior Commandant go," "And Pucheng residents will be unscathed." "That Junior Commander of yours is a murderer!" "He killed three people." "Two adults and an innocent child." "Forget about 3 people!" "Even if he killed 300 people" "I must protect him!" "It's my job." "I just don't want to see innocent people die." "Exactly." "Neither do I; so" "I'm giving them one day's time." "Shall we take the side of justice..." "Don't talk to me about justice!" "Have you forgotten you ruined our business?" "Because of what you thought was justice," "That dog of an official burned down our business!" "Our men became homeless," "And many died or were injured." "Have you forgotten that already?" "I remember." "Do you have a deathwish?" "Robbing us with no martial arts skills." "I'm not robbing you." "Gods!" "Do you not have a sense of justice?" "That dog of an official" "Cheated me out of my money," "Killed my parents," "Took my wife..." "Give me back my wife!" "You dog of an official!" "Even if I fail in revenge," "I will haunt you after my death!" "You can still escape now." "Husband!" "Husband!" "Wife!" "Dog of an official!" "I'm going to kill you!" "Yi, ignore him." "Scumbag!" "You may not kill him!" "You're crazy!" "If we escort him safely, the guards live." "If not, the guards die." "So we guards can ignore right from wrong" "And let this scumbag go free?" "If you kill him, over 300 of us in the company" "Will die!" "Feflg" "That is reality." "Brute force beats reason every time" "'H," "What results from this reality?" "Those bastard officials always demand payback." "If you still consider me your senior classmate," "Do not be my enemy." "Thanks for the egg." "Feng!" "Ask them to release him." "Junior Commandant..." "I'm Ma Feng." "Here to rescue you under Colonel Zhang's orders!" "So, sir?" "I have a question." "Please don't mind;" "I'm just curious." "So..." "After you get out," "What will you do?" "Will you spare the people of Pucheng?" "You think I'm an idiot?" "After all that killing," "Your clothes are still white," "But your heart is definitely black." "Are you letting me go?" "Yet another dog of an official!" "He seems to mean for you to free him." "Now you understand." "He's not worried if we'll let him go," "He just loves to kill." "If we let him go now," "We'd be giving him our lives unconditionally." "I hope the army will win on the front lines" "And return soon." "Only then will Pucheng's people be rescued." "Such crystal-clear vision!" "But you will die, with or without clear vision." "It will be dawn soon." "I don't know you," "But if you want to play a game" "I'll join you." "Liao, you're here." "Liao," "Bao said you needed to see me urgently." "What is it?" "Yes..." "Come with me." "Where to?" "Let's talk as we walk." "So much has happened today." "I'll bet you haven't eaten." "Have a pastry." "Why are you so secretive?" "No;" "let's go." "In all the years I've known you," "Your stomach aches when you're nervous." "What is it?" "Boss Liu wants to talk to you." "He has a way to resolve this crisis." "When did you meet with him?" "His idea is for me to release Cao Shaolun?" "You wouldn't believe him, would you?" "Trust me this once." "We've risked our lives together all these years." "Everything I do is for your good!" "I trust you." "But I won't do this." "Cao Shaolun is not a regular guy!" "Who is his father?" "A grand warlord!" "With hundreds of thousands of troops!" "And you?" "Just a local guardian!" "With the few of us; we're no match!" "We can't afford this!" "Guang is dead;" "I fear you may be next." "You fear you may be next!" "You want me, a guardian, to release a murderer?" "I didn't think you'd be the biggest coward." "I'm not afraid!" "I want to save you!" "I've been with you 30 years!" "I've done everything you said!" "I don't even mind being called a coward." "Because"." "I trust you; you're my leader!" "I'll obey you in everything!" "But this time you must obey me!" "Release him!" "Someone told me the first day I became a guardian" "A guardian doesn't have to be very learned," "But he must tell black from white." "Right from wrong." "Do you remember who told me that?" "You did." "I trusted you, too." "But many people will die!" "Is that worth it, for one Cao Shaolun?" "Ask the people what they want." "Don't lecture them on justice or intergrity!" "Everyone just wants peace..." "To have a safe home and good job." "Don't give them a hard time!" "You think we can solve everything if we kneel down." "Just kneel first." "It's critical to stay alive!" "If we kneel today," "Will we still be able to stand up tomorrow?" "Can our future generations live with their heads held high?" "We are not slaves." "We are the owners of Pucheng." "The more we fear, the worse our fate." "Cao Sha0lun's arrival into our city" "has sealed Pucheng's fate." "There is no escape for us." "Yes," "We may die," "But everyone dies." "Let's not die in vain." "All right?" "Yang Kenan!" "What do you want?" "Boss Liu invited us here!" "You still don't understand?" "Sub-commander Liao" "Your job is done; go!" "Boss Liu said you must pay for your mistakes by killing him!" "Yang" "Don't put the blame on us in the underworld." "We're just doing our jobs." "Kill me first, if you can!" "Leave me!" "Go!" "Sheriff!" "Liao!" "You wouldn't go when I asked," "So I must send you out!" "Out of my Way!" "Leave me!" "Wu!" "Calm down!" "Let go!" "Out of my Way!" "Leave me alone!" "Wu!" "All of you, let go!" "Calm down, it's useless!" "Why are you all standing here?" "Liu Cheng!" "You sent men to kill Liao!" "I want your life for this!" "Wrong!" "I'll tell you what happened." "Yang offended Junior Commandant," "Caused the death of his man." "And will kill all of us in Pucheng" "Listen to what the people are saying!" "Sheriff Yang," "Once the (Lao army storms the shy," "They will kill everyone in the city!" "Sheriff Yang" "I beg you." "Can you let the Junior Commandant go?" "Please;" "Let him go!" "Kenan," "My son is still young!" "I just want him to grow up in peace!" "You don't want to see your daughter killed by Cao's army tomorrow, do you?" "I am devastated by the deaths of Liao and Guang." "But this is not for revenge." "I believe murderers should be punished." "But, Sheriff Yang!" "What about us?" "Sheriff Yang!" "Sheriff Yang!" "My family has lived here for 5 generations." "I am already in my eighties." "I beg you!" "Please let my descendants live!" "I beg you, give it up!" "Father!" "Mother!" "Please get UP!" "Kneel with us and beg Sheriff Yang." "Beg Sheriff Yang!" "Kneel down!" "Sheriff, I." "There is righteousness among the people." "Justice is in everyone's hearts." "We Yangs have been guardians here for 3 generations." "We have been loyal and faithful;" "our consciences are clear." "Today, you don't need me anymore." "I understand your fear." "Before daybreak..." "I will resign as your Sheriff." "You all decide whether to let him go." "The Guardians... are permenantly dismissed." "Xianger will love Guangzhou." "She will get to know many new schoolmates." "Give the men an extra month's pay." "You're staying here by yourself?" "Is that useful?" "I'm the one he wants." "With me here..." "He won't vent his anger on the people." "I'm sorry." "Junior Commandant!" "Come on out!" "We're sorry!" "We're releasing you." "Cut it open now!" "You may not open it." "Please be serious, sir." "Junior Commandant," "Please come out!" "Please forgive us, come out!" "Junior Commandant..." "Junior Commandant!" "We all know that we were wrong!" "Daddy!" "You promised to play hide-and-seek at Grandma's house." "I'll wait for you; hurry up!" "I'll be very quick." "Show me a punch." "Strike!" "Really gQQd!" "That was so fast" "Daddy couldn't even see your fist." "But it hurts a little." "Give me a kiss." "One more." "And one more." "Sheriff!" "We don't care where you go," "We just want to follow you." "What for?" "All good things must come to an end." "You think I want to lead you monkeys around?" "Go on." "We're leaving." "Sheriff." "Thank you for all these years of care." "I hope to have a chance to repay you." "Go." "Take care." "Sheriff Yang," "They're leaving; why are you still here?" "I have an extra seat;" "I could give you a lift." "Why do I need a lift from you?" "Just take the children." "You're really staying?" "Yes." "Knowing you will lose?" "I didn't do anything wrong" "So what will I lose?" "Junior Commandant!" "Please forgive us for being late!" "Men, open the lock!" "It's not for you to open." "Forgive me, Junior Commandant!" "If you were not one of my father's dogs" "I would have killed you long ago." "Whoever cuffed me" "Will be the one to release me." "Yes, Junior Commandant!" "Men!" "Bring Yang Kenan!" "I am here." "Sheriff Yang..." "Come on." "Well?" "Is the executioner here?" "I think he's lost his way." "You need an executioner to chop off my head?" "My head is right here." "Cut it off." "Cut it off!" "How many hundred lives may I exchange with my life?" "I'm giving you my head, yet you won't cut!" "Fine." "You want to defend the people so badly" "And you want to die so badly." "I'll grant your wish." "Tie him up." "Let me toy with him." "Cheers!" "Junior Commandant is handsome and smart!" "Impressive!" "Truly a shining young hero!" "Thank you for gracing my home" "With your presence!" "I am so honoured." "We are family from now on." "I will do anything for you." "Sir..." "Eat when you eat; stop talking." "Let's eat!" "Please, eat!" "Oh, you're really eating?" "Let's go look over there." "No... don't take that..." "Don't take it..." "Xianger, you're a good girl." "When you grow up" "I'm sure you'll be a brave, heroic person." "Go to Grandma's house with Jiaoer." "I'll go be with Daddy." "All right?" "Teachers!" "You're safe now; come." "Miss Bai and Dayuan are dead!" "Teachers!" "I hand over these rascals to you." "Monkey King!" "Don't g0!" "Stop crying!" "Listen." "Grow up to be good people, you hear?" "Yes, sir!" "Where are you going, Monkey King?" "To fight monsters!" "Madam Yang, we're back!" "Ma Feng" "You've returned, too?" "I don't charge a fee" "For some things that must be done." "Well?" "Isn't it fun to drink wine upside-down?" "I told you last night, half of Pucheng will die." "Now, I want everyone to die." "And you'll be the last one!" "So, hang in there." "Release." "Halt!" "Who are you?" "I bring a gift to Junior Commandant." "What gift?" "Let me see it!" "You may see it," "But I'm afraid your rank isn't high enough." "It's very... very confidential." "If you insist, I'll show it to you." "I'm going to show you now." "You really want to see it?"

"But beneath that Joe Camel cool was a Marlboro coward, terrified of the long, slow decline of my body." "Oh, Stan, I hear you." "And I thank you for sharing that with me." "But the thing is..." "you killed us, you idiot!" "We still had a lifetime of memories to make on Earth, and you stole those from me!" "So as far as I'm concerned, you can spend the rest of eternity by yourself!"

"What are you doing here?" "Looking for proof that what happened to that limousine wasn't an accident." "Analyze the composition of this armor plate." "We buy one grade of armor plate." "Well, someone ordered a different grade." "We gotta find out who." "He's a cold-blooded killer, Michael." "You promised these people a demonstration." "Oh, I can handle it." "Knight Rider, a shadowy flight... into the dangerous world of a man... who does not exist." "Michael Knight, a young loner... on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent... the helpless, the powerless... in a world of criminals who operate above the law." "This limousine has a modified 450 horsepower... turbocharged power plant... high-speed racing suspension... all-terrain puncture-proof tires, and..." "I don't have to tell you gentlemen, I think, how important that is... in the areas of the world today, where you all do business." "International climate has never been more hostile or threatening." "This obstacle course simulates... just about every conceivable situation you might encounter." "Good." "Good." "All right, stand by." "Control rank." "Activate land mines." "Now, what you're seeing here, gentlemen, is state-of-the-art maneuverability... for tactical evasion." "Yes, you're right." "None of the other vehicles we've seen so far are competitive." "And, of course, the LXAP does this with no sacrifice in range or comfort." "Very impressive." "What is that?" "That's the Armorbuilt UTC 1200." "It's the ultimate in urban terrorist control." "We use the armament package... in the next part of our demonstration, gentlemen." "You about ready, Hank?" "We're up to speed." "Any time, Gene." "The XLAP's protection package... employs the cutting edge of structural technology and material." "Steel-magnesium alloy... forty-five millimeters thick, case-hardened armor plates... and flame-treated bullet-proof glass throughout." "All right, commence weapons assault." "And what's coming next, gentlemen, will demonstrate beyond any doubt... you're all making the right choice." "Stand by, launch when ready." "I love the Big Apple, but it sure feels good to be back on the road again." "I agree, Michael." "If I never see the Big Apple again, it'll be too soon." "Those streets have more potholes... than Devon has neckties." "Did I hear my name mentioned?" "Yo, Devon!" "Good Morning." "There you are, Michael." "I understand things in Manhattan went very well." "By the way, Michael..." ""By the way, Michael"?" "Why do I feel like I'm being set up, here?" "Well, there is one thing I'd like you to cover." "Because I am being set up." "Just a little detour, that's all... a minor course adjustment... to Armorbuilt Carriage Works." "Mel Mitchell, one of the employees, is expecting you... and this is a matter that may well merit our scrutiny." "Devon." "Good luck, Michael." ""Merit our scrutiny"?" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Mel, could I have a word with you, please?" "Well, it's not short for Melvin, is it?" "Melanie." "Michael." "Michael Knight." "Oh, from the Foundation." "Yes, Devon told me all about you." "Yeah, that's one of his bad habits." "You do all the armor plating around here?" "Sure do." "Would you hand me the number five file?" "It's my department." "Other file." "Got my degree in structural engineering." "Found out I was a damn good engineer, but a lousy desk jockey... and here I am." "Everybody always asks." "It's easy to see why." "Someplace we can go and talk?" "Sure, just give me a minute." "The missile just penetrated the limo door." "I couldn't believe it." "I still can't." "Wow." "I decided we've come too far to have it taken away from us now." "That's when I called Devon Miles." "Wait a minute, you're losing me here." "Who's come too far, and for what?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "I thought Devon explained it to you." "Armorbuilt was filing for bankruptcy." "Really hit us hard, all the people who work here." "So, I came up with an idea, an alternative:" "an employee buy-out." "I got you." "All the employees kick in, re-negotiate with the creditors... then you guys end up owning the company." "Sounds like a plan." "It was, until the limo accident." "Cost the company a major sale." "We needed that to finance the buy-out." "Mel... do you think somebody purposely caused the accident?" "All our vehicles are designed to withstand... twice the explosive force used on the track." "What do you think?" "I think it may merit our scrutiny." "Excuse me?" "I think we should take another look." "Well, the group's getting together at lunch today to discuss our options." "And I don't have any plans." "Do you mind if I join you?" "Please." "Okay." "We love you, Mel, but... maybe you've already given us all the help we can handle." "We know you meant well, but frankly, if it wasn't for you... we wouldn't be in this mess right now, with our savings in jeopardy... and our houses mortgaged." "That's right." "The buy-out's finished, Mel, okay?" "Forget it." "From what Mel told me, you guys were okay until you lost that foreign sale." "What if we get it back?" "It's a long shot, but we should try." "We all got into this buy-out because we had something to gain... something good." "We still do." "Look, we all want to better our lives." "That hot car you were talking about buying, Eddie... you ready to give up on that?" "No way." "I got my eye on one right now." "How about you, Hank?" "You and Alice ready to cancel that second honeymoon you've been planning?" "Hey, after living with him for 20 years, you really think she'll go?" "The way Mel described your buy-out plan... it sounds like the chance of a lifetime to me." "You save your jobs here, you buy into a piece of the company." "Come on, what about that?" "You guys ready to give up without a fight?" "That's easy for you to say." "You got an idea?" "Yeah, somebody's got to turn that foreign sale around before it's too late." "Okay, you got anyone particular in mind?" "How about you, Michael?" "we have no driver." "I mean, let's say we get those buyers back for another demo... who's going to give it to them?" "Who's going to drive?" "That's right." "Who's going to be crazy enough to go out on that track... after what's already happened?" "I might." "Well... we're talking about a high degree of skill here." "I mean, just because you talk a good game... it doesn't mean you can drive, now, does it?" "Doesn't mean I can't, either." "Try me." "Boy, that's typical." "Give a guy a hot-looking car, he thinks he's the next Parnelli Jones." "I'll tell you what... you want to take that freeway flyer of yours out there right now... make a fool out of yourself... you be my guest, all right?" "Okay, let's look good, pal." "There's a lot riding on this one." "Michael, I always look good." "You'll get no argument from me." "Let's do it." "What a set of wheels!" "That guy's a hotdog." "Who cares?" "He's the key to keeping the buy-out alive." "He's good." "I think that got their attention, Michael." "Okay, pal." "Now, lets go get the job." "That's nice." "I think we found our driver." "You bet." "Well, if that's an offer, I accept." "What a car." "I'll tell you what, Mel, you take the driver, I'll take the car." "Say, how much this puppy set me back?" "I'm sorry, but this "puppy" is not for sale." "Look, I can't haggle with you now, but when old Eddie Deskey... makes up his mind to get something..." "I'll be coming to you again." "You see that car?" "I think this is gonna work." "Right on." "I suppose the buy-out is on now." "Lilah, not now." "I say we pack up, head for Europe now and let them have the damn company." "Come on, what are you..." "I can't do that." "I mean, it took me years to pull that money and get it out of the country." "And I got a bankruptcy set up, I get into a buy-out instead." "Could lose everything." "Now, you know that." "So, just don't push me, all right?" "If I don't push you, you'll still be here six months from now." "Let me tell you something, Gene..." "I've been hanging around this grease pit for two years." "I'm tired of playing sales director... and making believe I'm into those over-priced toys of yours." "Boy, you could've fooled me, Lilah." "I thought you handled it pretty well... especially when you heard about the money and the villa in St. Moritz." "A lot of men have money, Gene." "Armorbuilt has proven a perfect place to meet them." "Would it surprise you that some of our clients... have expressed more than a casual interest?" "Get it together fast, or I'm gone." "I'll handle it." "Just give me one extra day, all right?" "You're out of days." "Twenty-four hours, Lilah." "That's all I need." "And this Michael Knight, hotshot... his first test run tomorrow... will be his last." "I promise you." "Why are we going to see these buyers... before making certain... what happened to the limousine wasn't an accident?" "Well, because they're checking out today." "It's our only chance to convince them to stick around for another demo." "What's our ETA?" "Four minutes, 37 seconds." "You know, Michael, while we have a few moments... do you recall that fellow who wanted to buy me?" "Sure." "Did he make you an offer?" "No, Michael, we never got to the bidding stage." "That's what I wanted to talk to you about." "Me?" "KITT, I can't put a price on you." "I wouldn't even know where to begin." "Well, what if we were in deep-snow country... our adversaries dynamited the road... the explosion set off a massive avalanche... we're buried under tons of ice and snow, we have no food... you haven't slept in two days, and..." "Can I have Mel with me?" "I want to know my worth." "What must I do to get a serious answer out of you?" "Try being serious." "All right, Michael, you're trapped in a burning building." "The flames are raging all around you." "The smoke is so thick, you can't see." "I am outside ready to spring into action, and..." "KITT." "KITT." "KITT." "KITT... not now." "Maybe later, but not now." "There are the buyers, buddy." "Looks like they're leaving right now." "Not a nanosecond too soon, Michael." "KITT... let's micro jam that trunk lock." "Excuse me, gentlemen... you folks seem to be having a problem here." "Well, we're on our way to the airport." "The driver seems to have trouble with the lock." "We may miss our flight." "Well, my name is Michael Knight." "I know a little bit about locks." "Maybe I can fix it for you." "But, before I do, I'd like to talk to you gentlemen about limousines." "You see, you found the one you wanted at Armorbuilt yesterday... but someone didn't want you to have it." "The vehicle was sabotaged." "Do you have any proof of this?" "Not yet." "Mr. Knight, if you have no proof, I think we're all wasting our time." "I cannot help you." "I'm sorry." "We're not just talking about me here." "We're talking about a lot of people." "Hard-working people, expert technicians... proud people who put their life savings on the line... to save their jobs and their company." "It turns out that your sale would have put these people in the driver's seat." "All I'm asking is for you gentlemen to give these people another chance." "Please." "We are due in Detroit tomorrow for a competitor's demonstration." "It's impossible." "Is it, Hans?" "I found Mr. Knight's words touching." "I'm surprised you didn't." "I have a business to run." "Yes, Hans, we know." "You see, Mr. Knight, though my colleague possesses great wealth... he began with nothing." "He knows what it is like to struggle, to sweat, to build a..." "Enough, please." "No history tale." "All right, Mr. Knight... schedule your demonstration." "Terrific, we'll be in touch." "Allow me." "You know, Michael, it occurred to me... that these low-profile information-gathering missions... are the ultimate test of our abilities, aren't they?" "You better believe it, pal." "I got a feeling that checking out this limo at Armorbuilt... is going to be a very valuable night's work." "I agree, and keeping value in mind... what if we're in the desert, in a sand storm... there's no water for miles around... and you're being chased by a band of sword-waving camel drivers... what would I be worth?" "I'd have to say... priceless." "You know, lately, I get the feeling you enjoy answering my questions... without really answering them." "Am I right or am I wrong?" "Yes." "All right, KITT, keep your scanner peeled." "How are you getting in?" "I'm going to pick the lock." "That's illegal, Michael." "So is the way we parked." "I'll take care of the silent alarm, Michael." "KITT?" "Yes, Michael?" "Looks like they've beaten us to it, partner." "The door's gone." "What are you going to do now?" "Find it." "Do me a favor, will you, and run a chemical scan of the area?" "Look for compounds left by a warhead after it detonates." "I'm picking up a high concentration... in that area above you." "You want this one, partner?" "Allow me." "Beautiful." "All right, KITT... analyze the composition of this armor plate." "Compare it to technical specifications." "The material in question is of the proper thickness... but has a highly porous molecular structure." "I'm getting a density-hardness reading barely one-fourth the grade specified." "Well, that sure explains why the missile pierced it." "Michael, my scanners are indicating someone else is on the premises." "Thanks." "Hey!" "What's going on here, Hank?" "I came back to check out the limousine for tomorrow's demo... and I found him sneaking around." "You always shoot first and ask questions later?" "what are you doing here?" "Looking for proof that what happened to that limousine wasn't an accident." "What are you talking about?" "That's ridiculous." "There was a thorough investigation." "The armor plate in the door of that limousine was so below spec... you could use it to wrap sandwiches." "That's a powerful accusation." "Ease up, Gene." "He hasn't proved a thing." "He's a driver... he's got a gas tank for a brain, and a tail pipe for a mouth." "That's right." "And I've been behind the wheel long enough to know when I'm on the right track." "You trying to say something?" "I just did." "You can't exist on a couple of hours' sleep, Michael." "No choice, pal." "I gotta talk to Mel about that armor plate." "We buy one grade of armor plate... from Blacksteel Fabricators." "We use it on all our vehicles." "Well, someone ordered a different grade." "We gotta find out who." "Maybe we're going too far with all this." "Suppose it doesn't work?" "What if the buyers come back and we still don't make the sale?" "Mel, we're turning this thing around here." "I thought you'd be excited." "I am, Michael." "I don't mean to appear ungrateful." "It's just that..." "I don't know." "It's not that I'm afraid for myself... it's the others." "In the beginning, when it looked like we didn't have a chance..." "I was the one who kept it alive." "I built up their hopes." "I feel responsible." "You did those people a favor." "And, believe me, they know it." "What if it all comes apart again?" "I'm here to make sure that it doesn't." "Devon, what I need to know is, who ordered that steel... from Blacksteel Fabricators." "I'll put Bonnie on it right away." "What will you be doing in the meantime?" "Well, I'll be demonstrating a limousine for a group of buyers." "If Armorbuilt makes the sale, the employee buy-out's still alive." "I see." "You know, Michael, I seem to recall asking you... to evaluate the case at Armorbuilt... not take over the employee's buy-out program." "Well, it's hard to do one without getting involved in the other." "Oh, I had a suspicion that Mel Mitchell might have that effect on you." "You know, Devon, it also occurred to me that this might not be the first limousine... to come off Hanson's assembly line with inferior armor." "Are you thinking a review of his past clients' well-being might be in order?" "That's exactly what I'm thinking." "All right, the run's set for 10:00." "Give me a complete structure analysis of the limousine." "Start with the driver's door." "Hey, you got a minute to do some negotiating?" "I certainly do, Eddie." "Son of a gun." "That's a great intercom you got there." "Listen, you do some serious thinking about what I said yesterday?" "Mr. Knight..." "I'm afraid we'll be starting a little sooner than we had anticipated." "Sooner?" "The test was scheduled for 10:00." "You promised these people a demonstration." "Well, I know that, but I wanted to walk the track first." "Are you saying you can't handle it, Mr. Knight?" "Oh, I can handle it." "Well, I'm a little gun-shy, see... 'cause my financing hinges on this buy-out deal going through." "I understand, Eddie, but as a very wise fellow once said." ""Bid now, or forever hold your peace. "" "I'm used to dealing face-to-face... but, assuming that this buy-out deal does work... what would you say to..." "KITT, you there?" "I'm right here, Michael." "KITT, they moved up the test time." "I'm just about on the track now." "I'll accelerate my computations." "KITT, how's it coming?" "I'm working on it, Michael." "Make it fast, buddy." "Prepare to launch." "Michael, my analysis indicates the armor plate in the door... is the same inferior grade I tested last night." "You keep your scanner peeled for a missile launch." "ETA to impact. 2.3 seconds." "Can you override the guidance system?" "Not enough time." "That's what I call tactical maneuverability." "Incredible!" "Incredible, an incredible evasive reaction." "Whoa, we cut that very close." "I know, Michael." "We sure showed them what this limousine can do." "Incredible performance." "Pretty close, huh?" "A most remarkable demonstration, Mr. Knight." "Thank you, sir." "It was." "And all your demonstrations seem to have surprise endings these days." "You gentlemen ready to do some business?" "Well, I suppose some discussion will be in order." "Perhaps we should consider obtaining one of these urban control vehicles... along with the limousine." "Good, but... under the circumstances, maybe we should discuss it in my office." "Excuse me, please." "You gentlemen are familiar with the Armorbuilt ironclad guarantee..." "I presume?" "Certainly, that's the specification package we received." "Good." "And if I were you, I would want to be dealing with... the new people who'll be backing it up." "New people?" "Yes, sir." "You're looking at one of them." "Now, if you'll follow me, please." "All right." "What I can do, is this..." "Okay, big fellow, snap on your intercom, and hear this." "All right, that was a pretty nifty move you put on me before, and I..." "Would you explain what you're implying by that, Eddie?" "You set me up!" "You got me to the point of making an offer and then... slammed the door on me!" "Now, I hope you don't pull that again." "On the contrary, I am extremely interested in what you have to say." "Well, all right." "Now we are starting to talk business." "Michael, how'd it go?" "Terrific." "99 % sure they're going with Armorbuilt." "Great, we can get it all together now." "What are you trying to pull, Knight?" "The buy-out's back on." "I can't wait to tell my fellow stock-holders the good news." "Maybe you should hold off on that one." "Those buyers didn't exactly say 99 %." "More like 49 %." "They still want to check out that one other company." "Then why'd you say that?" "To put some pressure on Hanson." "See, I'm betting he's the one who's been using low-grade armor... to screw up your sales demonstrations." "But why would he do that?" "To stop the buy-out, Mel." "That's what happened, isn't it?" "You mean he killed one of our drivers to stop it?" "Mel, he just tried it out there again." "Now, if I'm right, I just forced him to make another move, and when he does it... believe me, we'll nail him." "That's it, Gene." "I've had it." "I'm not having any more to do with this." "By tonight, neither am I. I've got it figured." "I know just what I'm going to do." "I'm tired of hearing that." "I'm tired of you." "Count me out." "Lilah, now, listen to me." "You gotta trust me." "We're leaving for Switzerland tonight." "All we have to do..." "All you have to do." "Get it done, and pick me up here." "If you're not back in an hour, I'm checking out of my penthouse... and I'm heading for the airport." "One hour." "You know something, that intercom sure changes the sound of your voice." "You're getting off the track, Eddie." "I believe you were about to make me an offer I can't refuse." "Right." "What would you say to..." "Excuse me, there, buddy." "Hi..." "We were gonna..." "Like, just now, we were talking, you know... and I'm not done talking yet!" "That fellow just refuses to give up, Michael." "Not now." "Get me Devon." "He seems intent on acquiring my services in perpetuity and..." "KITT." "Well, I was just wondering... if we were trapped in the bowels of the earth... just prior to an underground nuclear test..." "We wouldn't have to worry, all right?" "Now, please, get me Devon." "Michael, I was just about to contact you." "Devon." "You got anything for me on who ordered that low-grade steel?" "Yes, and thanks to your suggestion... we've also got some data on Mr. Hanson that you may find most enlightening." "Bonnie is on her way to meet you at the semi, to give you the details." "Terrific." "You were right, Michael." "Every one of those Blacksteel purchase orders..." "Was signed by Eugene Hanson." "Well, more than one of Hanson's past clients... didn't get the protection they paid for." "I cross-checked a list of Armorbuilt clients... against global assassination attempts..." "Don't tell me... a lot of the targets were killed in Armorbuilt limousines." "Too many for it to be coincidental." "Devon checked his international contacts, and word is..." "Hanson's been taking massive payoff from radical factions..." "To install low-grade armor in the vehicles he supplies to the people on the hit list." "You got it." "He's on my list now." "He's a cold-blooded killer, Michael." ""Be careful," I know." "With somebody like Hanson, that may not be enough." "So, $25,000, Mel." "$25,000 for what?" "You're the sparkplug behind this buy-out, right?" "You started it, you pull out, it's over." "Why?" "It's none of your concern." "Running out of time, Mel." "$50,000, final offer." "What's happening here?" "Money is not what this is all about." "I want a "yes" or "no."" "Then it's "no."" "You can do a lot for your kid with $50,000, Mel." "Or you can take out a loan for his funeral." "Let me get this straight... are you threatening my child?" "I don't believe this." "Believe it, Mel." "Well, just the man I've been looking for." "You took the words right out of my mouth." "And that's not all I'm going to say." "Slow." "Blowing me up in your garage won't fall into your pattern of accidents." "Going to prison doesn't fall into my pattern of living." "To your left." "Slow." "Now, open that door." "Take it easy." "Easy." "It takes four minutes to heat, dry, and seal the paint on a car." "Temperature in here should cook you in about 30 seconds." "KITT." "I hear you, Michael." "I got problems." "Your comlink signal indicates you are locked in a hermetically sealed chamber." "You have enough air for over two hours." "Yeah, maybe, you're right, but I can be burned to a crisp in 30 seconds." "Get in here." "I'm on my way." "No!" "Stop it." "Stop it." "No." "KITT, the generator, jam it." "Stand back from the door, Michael." "It may blow while I micro jam." "Oh, dear." "Come on, buddy, its getting hot in here." "Jamming." "Michael, are you all right?" "I'm still cooking in here." "Can't you get this door open?" "No, I can't." "I'm immobile." "Melanie, the heat chamber." "Open that door." "Not now." "Open the door, then you have my permission to faint." "I'm glad you were around." "I'm afraid I wasn't for a while." "Yeah." "You were here when it counted." "I'll be back." "Are you injured, Michael?" "No, I'm just a little tanned." "You seemed to be up in the air over this." "It's no joking matter." "I find this posture humiliating." "Thank you, Michael." "All right, let her rip." "All right, scan the area, see if you can pick up Hanson." "There he is, Michael." "West on Route 4." "The test track." "All right, let's get him." "I got a little going-away present for him." "I want to deliver it to him in person." "You cut it pretty close." "I was two minutes away from heading for the penthouse." "So be glad you didn't." "I brought along a little extra pocket-money for our trip." "Unless that's your travel agent, you've got some trouble coming." "He's supposed to be dead." "This time there won't be any margin for error." "Michael, I'm sure you're aware of the armament in that vehicle." "I am very aware." "You watch for missiles, I'll cover the rest." "Michael, we're driving right into his line of fire." "Hang in there." "He seems to be running, Michael." "Don't be too sure of that." "Michael, those are armor-piercing grenades." "I don't like surprises, Michael." "Me, either." "What's he got left?" "Fifty-caliber machine guns and over six tons of armor plate." "I'm sure you have a plan." "I always have a plan." "He's disarmed, nothing left." "Come on out." "Hey, have I got a truck for you." "It's big, and it's gray, got these nice little bars on the windows." "Oh, yeah, it's got some fancy printing on the side that says:" "Department of Corrections." "You'll love the view." "Keep an eye on him." "Yes, Michael." "Oh, Michael, are you all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "In fact, I'll be going home tonight." "He won't." "Well, I guess that ties everything up, doesn't it?" "Not quite." "You know, I never did... tell you how attractive you are without that welding mask." "Don't make me blush." "I may not look it, but I am the president of a company now." "Not until the board of directors meet." "In that case, I have a few minutes." "Well, in that case..." "Thank you." "International Airport." "I have to be there in 30 minutes." "Not likely, ma'am." "Will you settle for Police Headquarters... and maybe a little drive through the park on the way there?" "I have $250,000 here." "I'm willing to pay half for the airport trip." "Did you hear that, KITT?" "Well, Michael, now we know what you're worth." "Does she want to make me an offer?" "Well, I do have another $25,000 for your friend." "$25,000." "What do you say, buddy?" "I find that offer unacceptable." "I'd rather the drive through the park." "You've offended him." "I guess you go directly to jail." "Michael?" "Yes?" "That offer she made... do you think she knows I'm air-conditioned?"

"Subs created by:" "David Coleman." "He's dead." "I didn't have a choice." "He shot at me." "I had to return fire." "Kate, you're hit." "No, no." "I'm fine." "I have my vest on." " Where is she?" " Who?" "The woman who Rickford was raping." "Where is she?" "I don't..." "There's some stairs here." "Maybe she ran down." "Let's get some air." "Come on." "Just... just take a deep breath." "CPD is on the way." "911 already got four calls." "Well, what they hell are the two of you doing here anyway?" "We hadn't heard from you, Kate." "We were worried." "The question is why are you here?" "I've been following Rickford for the past few days." "Jesus, Kate." "They already took your gun and badge for harassing this guy." "Well, I couldn't just let it go." "I knew that sooner or later he was gonna attack another woman, and I was right." "Tonight he went to a bar." "He was hitting on this girl." "I saw him." "He slipped something into her drink." "She didn't want to get into his car, but she was too wasted to resist." "So I followed them here." "I saw him through the window." "He was getting rough with her." "[Screams]" "She screamed." "I had to go in there." "FBI!" "But it was like he was ready for me." " It was a clean shoot." " Okay, I get that." "But you're gonna have a lot of explaining to do." "Yeah, like why you were following him in the first place." "And why you're wearing body armor." "He's a trained soldier, and I don't have any backup." "You're damn right I'm wearing a vest." "[Sirens wailing]" "As soon as we find that woman, she's gonna confirm my story." "In the meantime, you're gonna need a lawyer." "Katie." "Honey, you okay?" "I'm fine, dad." "What happens now?" "Well, they, uh... they investigate, try to find the eyewitness, I go to therapy." "Standard operating procedure after an officer-involved shooting." "Joe:" "Yeah, it's a waste of time." "Never met a CPD headshrinker who knew his ass from his elbow." "Therapy can be very effective after a traumatic event." "I'm not traumatized." "I'm fine." "Don't worry about it, kiddo." "Everything's gonna be okay." "Let me guess... you don't need treatment?" "Yeah, what I need is to get back to work, so if you could just sign the forms saying that I am fit for duty." "That'd be great." "As I understand it, you don't have a job to get back to." "So you're not gonna sign it?" "You're welcome to stare at the walls for the next 45 minutes." "I've got e-mails to answer." "But that won't get you your gun and badge back." "Okay." "What do you want me to say?" "You killed a man." "How does that make you feel?" "Well, I killed a rapist and a murderer." "I feel great." "Paul:" "I heard the news about Kate." " How is she holding up?" " Oh, how do you think?" "I mean, she almost got killed, and now the FBI gestapo is treating her like a criminal." "Instead of being there for her," "I've got to spoon-feed neuro 101 to a bunch of freshmen." "Look, Daniel, I know how much Kate means to you and I know that she could use your help right now, so whatever time you need, you just take it." " Thanks, Paul." " Yeah." "In the meantime, how's it going with the lovely Miranda?" " [Scoffs] It isn't." " What do you mean?" "Oh, come on." "You can't just rekindle a decades-old romance." "Whoa, wait a minute here." "I don't know what this is about, but don't be an idiot." "Most of us never get a second chance with our first love." "[Knock on door]" " Donnie Ryan?" " Yeah." "Just wanted to introduce myself." "Todd Erlich." "I'm an A.U.S.A. from the New York office." "You're handling the investigation into Kate's shooting." "They wanted an outsider..." "avoid any conflict of interest." "Sure." "They got you here awful fast." "Congressman Rickford must have pulled some strings." "He won't influence my findings." "Agent Moretti will get a fair shake." "Hell, I'm glad this is being fast-tracked." "The sooner she's cleared, the better." "Yeah, that's actually why I stopped by." "I wanted to bring you up to speed." "There was a 911 call from Rickford's house right before the shooting." "Woman: 911." "What's your emergency?" "Blake:" "There's a crazy woman stalking me." "She just broke into my house." "Please send help." "I think she's got a gun." "She's gonna kill me." "This doesn't exactly help your ex's case." "Rickford knew he was about to get caught raping a woman, so he made that bogus 911 call to cover his ass." "You find the woman he was trying to rape, and she'll tell you that call was a load of crap." "She came forward this morning." "Her name is Wendy Burrell." "I'm about to go interview her." "Great." "I'll sit in." "Look, I get it." "If I were in your shoes," "I'd have wormed my way into the case any way I could." "So, as a professional courtesy, I'm giving you a heads-up, but you know I can't let you talk to the witness." "But as a professional courtesy, you could let me listen." "[Chuckles]" "I'm designing a media room for this finance guy and he wants to see some leather swatches for a sectional." "So, I was waiting at the bar when he texted and blew me of." "Then this cute guy comes up and offers to buy me a drink." " Blake Rickford?" " Mm-hmm." "Did you feel, um..." "I don't know... unusual in any way?" "Um, what do you mean?" "Well, there was a witness at the bar that said that you might have been drugged." "No way. [Chuckles]" "I skipped lunch, so I got buzzed pretty quick but..." "I wasn't so drunk I didn't know what I was doing, if that's why you're asking." "Whose idea was it to go back to his place?" "Mine." "I was gonna follow him, but he convinced me I was in no shape to drive." "He was a gentleman." "Promised to bring me back to my car in the morning." "What happened at his place?" "I don't usually do it on the first date, but I thought he was a catch." " So, it was consensual?" " Totally." " Did he hurt you in any way?" " No." "I mean, he threw me on the bed, but that was hot." "Did you scream?" "[Laughing]" "Well, maybe I squealed." "It was exciting." " Until I heard someone breaking in." " [Glass shatters]" "He tells me he's got a stalker." "Could have mentioned that before I went home with him, right?" "He grabs a gun from the nightstand, and I freak." "I went down the back stairs, and I just kept running." "Thank you very much, Miss Burrell." "[Door opens]" "I am really sorry, Ryan." "I was hoping it wouldn't go this way but," "I'm swearing out a warrant for Moretti's arrest..." "For murder." "[Music]" "Judge Cabrera:" "The United States vs. Katherine Rose Moretti." "Counselors, your appearances, please." "A.U.S.A. Todd Erlich for the government, your honor." "Donald Ryan for the defense, your honor." "Judge Cabrera:" "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Ryan, you're an assistant United States attorney." "I was." "I just resigned." "Donnie, what the hell are you doing?" "Come on, Kate." "Who could defend you better than me?" "Thanks." "Don't worry." "You'll still get your check." "Let's proceed." "The defendant is charged with murder in the second degree." " How do you plead?" " Not guilty, your honor." " I'll hear the government on bail." " We ask for remand." "My client's not a flight risk." "She's a decorated law-enforcement officer who welcomes the chance to clear her good name." "We ask you to release Agent Moretti on her own recognizance." "Ms. Moretti was suspended from the FBI for harassing the deceased." "She forfeited her good name when she went rogue and killed a man." "Judge Cabrera:" "What do you say I split the baby and order the defendant released on house arrest?" "You will wear an electronic monitoring device, and you can only leave home to go to therapy or to your attorney's office." "Your crazy ex-wife going down." "You be careful." "She'll bring you down with her." "Well, the good news is if I can't hit the Billy Goat for burgers and fries," "I'll probably lose 10 pounds." "Not to mention your high Cholesterol." "Should have slapped one of those on you years ago." "Ryan." "I got to admit, it's a pretty ballsy move." " What do you want, Erlich?" " Plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter." "You'll serve 3 to 5." "Otherwise, we go to trial." "You have till Friday to decide." "I don't need till Friday." "No deal." "[Elevator bell dings]" "So, this is the man cave?" "Uh, not anymore." "Welcome to the law offices of Donald Ryan, esquire." "Please, sit down." "[Sighs]" "All right." "Let's talk strategy." "I got a strategy." "I tell the truth." "The murder charge is bullshit." "It's trumped up under pressure from Congressman Rickford." "I saved that woman from being raped." " That's not what Wendy Burrell says." " Yeah, well, she's lying." "Interior decorator, no record, a nice girl with no connection to Blake Rickford before that night." "Why would she lie?" "Rape is a traumatic event." "People react to it in different ways." "She's a strong, independent woman." "Maybe she didn't want to be seen as a victim." "Look, I know what I saw." "Actually, maybe you don't." "Your perception of what happened may have been distorted." "Uh, spacial and temporal confusion is..." "is common in officer-involved shootings." "Okay, hey." "Break it down for us." "After killing a suspect, cops often report time lines and geography that proves totally wrong." "A distance of 5 feet is described as 50." "I don't need a Neuroscientist to prove that cops lie." "It's not about lying." "The stress of the situation may have caused Kate to remember events not as they happened." "But in a way that fits with her preconceived notion that Rickford is a rapist." "Great." "That I can use." "How?" "He's basically saying that I'm guilty and crazy." "No, he's saying Wendy's testimony doesn't even matter." "If you had a reasonable belief that Rickford was raping a woman, you may have been wrong, but you wouldn't be criminally liable." "That's good." "It's very good." "But first we'd have to prove that Rickford was a rapist." "We have Kendra Murphy." "Maybe he raped other soldiers." "I mean, a guy like that doesn't have just one victim." "Anything that happened in Afghanistan is outside our jurisdiction." "That's a prosecutor's problem." "I'm a fully fledged member of the defense bar trying to dirty up a homicide victim any way I can." "That's kind of sick." "I like it." "I will talk to every soldier who served alongside Rickford in the guard." "Daniel, get me all the research you can on this "perception distortion" thing." "What do I do?" "Um..." "Make a file of everything you can remember about the night of the shooting." "So, basically sit around and do nothing." "Well, thanks to the fashion accessory there, you don't have much of a choice." "Hey." "There's my girl. [Chuckles]" "Dad, what are you doing here?" "Oh, you can't go out, so I thought we'd have a movie night." "I got your favorites... "French Connection" uh, "Taking of Pelham one two three"." "Okay, those are your favorites." "The original... not that God-awful remake." "Movie night is a great idea." "I just can't right now." "I have so much work to do, and Donnie needs me to write up this report." "Um..." "How about tomorrow night?" "Sure." "I, uh, wish there was something I could do besides bring you dumb movies." "[Chuckles]" "You are my little girl." "It's my job to protect you." "You're doing just fine." "Yeah." "Well, you call me if you need anything." " Love you, kiddo." " Love you, dad." "[Dog barking in distance]" "Hey, Rickford." "Blake:" "Whoa, whoa, please." "Please, don't... don't kill me." "[Gasps]" "[Panting]" "I know what I saw that night." "This whole thing is bullshit." " You sound angry." " You think?" "I stopped a scumbag from raping a woman." "And what do I get?" "Arrested." "Dragged into court, and locked up in my apartment." "The icing on the freaking cake is that Daniel Pierce, who I have believed every time he had some crazy theory, who I have followed out onto more limbs than I can even count, thinks that I imagined the whole thing." "So, yeah, I'm a little bit pissed." "You've been dreaming about the shooting." "How did you know?" "Well, you're not the first cop I've ever treated." "Tell me about it." "I dreamt that I killed him in cold blood and that he..." "He begged for his life." "Your file says you returned fire after he shot at you." "I've been going over it and over it in my mind, and, uh..." "And now I'm just..." "I'm questioning everything I saw." "I mean, I saw him stirring her drink." "But this guy was hitting on me, so I guess..." "I never actually saw him put anything in it." "Maybe he didn't drug her." "Maybe she did want to go with him." "[Cellphone vibrates]" "I forgot that I was distracted for a second by a phone call." "Maybe she was into him." "Maybe he was afraid of me when I burst into that room." "I was just so sure that he was attacking Wendy." " Why?" " Because I know that he raped Kendra." "Kendra is a sick woman with a severe Neurological illness." "Can you really trust her story?" "So, I was wrong..." "About everything?" "What if you were?" "Then I killed a man for no reason." "[Music]" "[Sighs] What do you want, Daniel?" " To tell you the truth." " About what?" "Why I broke up with you all those years ago." "I'm listening." "When you went back to your folks' place to talk about Vienna, I was miserable." "Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep." "Paul convinced me to go on a road trip." "And we went to spring fling at Michigan, ended up at a party..." "And I met this girl." "We liked the same books, same bands." "And in 20 minutes, we were finishing each other's sentences." "And I thought you were so noble breaking up with me so I'd go to Vienna." "I should have known you'd dump me for another girl." " It's not that simple." " Really, I don't need to know." "Yes, you do." "Her name is Natalie." "We're still together." " You're married?" " No." "I'm schizophrenic." "I know, Daniel." "And I understand." "No, you don't." "Not everything." "Natalie and I, we're, she... she's not..." "[Chuckles]" "She's not real." "Natalie's a hallucination." "I left you for a woman that doesn't exist." "I was crazy then, and I'm crazy now." "And that's why we can't be together." "So, what will you do if you don't get your job back?" "Oh, you mean if I don't go to prison?" "Try answering without a snappy comeback." "When I was 7, my mom died." "My dad was working homicide." "Crazy, crazy hours." "He was never, ever home." "So, my Aunt Claire actually offered to take me in, but my dad said no, that it would kill him to lose me, too." "So, how did he manage it?" "The school bus would drop me off at the precinct." "I'd do my homework in the bullpen." " And that was okay with you?" " It was better than okay." "I mean, all the other girls, they had to go to ballet or gymnastics." "I got to watch real live interrogations..." "Better than anything you could see on TV." "I've worked my entire life to get where I've gotten." "So..." "If I can't be a cop anymore, um..." "I don't know who I am." "Carlos:" "I'm sorry Rickford's dead." "But he was the kind of dirt bag that gives the military a bad name." "How so?" "He blew off weekend training, shirked duty on base." "He was always making crude jokes, couldn't look at me above the neck." "He do more than look?" "If you're asking if he raped me, the answer is no, Sir." "But once he grabbed my ass in the chow line, and the look on his face..." "Made me want to sleep with my weapon for a week." " He give anyone else a hard time?" " Just about every woman on the base." "We leave our families, our jobs, our lives to serve." "Carlos:" "We had enough trouble with the Taliban." "We didn't need jerks like him hassling women." "Did he hassle anyone specific?" "Gabrielle Blair hated his guts." "Maybe he tried something on her, but she's not gonna talk to you." "Gabrielle was two weeks from coming home when her convoy was attacked in the Qalat Valley." "The spinal-cord injury left her quadriplegic." " That shouldn't affect her speech." " The V.A. Doc says it's psychological..." "That she's been traumatized by what's happened to her, like shell shock." "She just sits all day long, staring at the garden." "PTSD and depression." "It's possible that's causing her silence." "But I don't think so." "Gabrielle?" "My name's Dr. Daniel Pierce." "Can you understand me?" " I told you." " Is your sister right handed?" "Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?" "I want to talk about Blake Rickford." "I think he was a bad guy." "I have a lot of questions about him, maybe you have the answers." "I know you can't talk." "But maybe you can sing." "Sing?" "What is he talking about?" "I think you were misdiagnosed." "You may have something called Broca's Aphasia." "The droop on the left side of your face tells me that the left hemisphere of your brain has been injured." "That's the side that we..." "we use to speak or to write." "But singing, that's the right side of our brain." "You know the song "Clementine"?" "♪Oh, my darling, oh, my darling." "♪Oh, my darling, Clementine." "Use that melody and sing to me." "♪Oh, my darling... ♪Come on, darling..." "♪What's your name, dear?" "♪Gabrielle." "[Gasps]" "You're doing great Gabrielle." "Here's where I need help." "♪You had a problem... ♪With Blake Rickford." "♪What was it?" "Did he rape you?" "[To the tune of "Clementine"] ♪No, he didn't." "♪Wait, there's more." "♪It was a convoy... ♪On a mission." "♪I was driving the Humvee." "♪Kendra was there and the C.O." "♪And Blake Rickford was there, too." "[Explosion]" "♪Taliban shot our gunner..." " I think he's dead, Sir!" " Rickford, take over the 240." "[Gunfire]" "Sergeant, get up there!" "I got it, Sir." "♪And Kendra, she went up." "Rickford, get your ass out of this vehicle and return fire, now!" "Troops in contact!" "Troops in contact!" "Request immediate fire mission." "Fire one H.E. Round at grid Echo Gulf 30262640." "Fire one H.E. Round at grid Echo Gulf 30262640." "I'll adjust, over." "Wait." "No!" "♪The C.O. made an error." "♪Called in wrong coordinates." "It was friendly fire." "So, the C.O. and you, you were the only ones in the Humvee?" "Did anyone else know?" "♪I got out to call for help." "The C.O. screwed up." "Called in a strike on our position." "He did what?" "♪I got mad and yelled at Blake." "You heard me!" "Stand up, Rickford!" "Get off your ass and return fire!" "[Explosion]" "Thank you, Gabrielle." "You did a great job." "So, she tells Rickford about the friendly fire and his cowardice nearly gets her killed." "Great." "So, we've got more proof Rickford was a useless waste." "But we're still no closer to saving Kate." "Forget that lily-livered coward." "The real villain here is that damn incompetent C.O." "That bastard killed his own men." "What?" "What can I do for you gentlemen?" "When I was here a few days ago with Agent Moretti, you told us you had investigated the rape of a soldier in your unit..." " Kendra Murphy." " As I said, it was unsubstantiated." "We know Blake Rickford raped her." "And we know you covered it up." " What?" "That's an outrageous lie." " Gabrielle Blair was misdiagnosed." "Turns out she can talk after all." "You're going down." "Tell us the truth and we might be able to make things a little easier on you." "The whole story this time." "A few days after Qalat Valley, Kendra reported she'd been raped by Rickford." "I have to ask." "Are you sure?" "When someone slaps me across the face and forces my knees apart..." "I'm pretty sure that's rape..." "Sir." "I opened an investigation, starting with McPhee and Hicks, the soldiers who Kendra claimed knew about the assault." "Both said it never happened." " And you believe them?" " Hell no." "McPhee, Hicks, and Rickford were the three amigos." "I knew they'd lie for him." "I hauled Rickford in." "I'm gonna court-martial the three of you, see you get sent to Leavenworth." "I don't think so." "[Chuckles]" "I don't care that your daddy's on the armed services committee." "You're still a coward and a rapist." "And you're a murderer." "You go after me, and I'll tell everyone what really happened at Qalat Valley." "How you shelled your own position." "Killed three men, and then lied about it." "So you sold Kendra out to save your own ass." "You'll testify at Agent Moretti's trial, tell the jury she was right..." "Blake Rickford was a rapist and you covered it up." "What I did was inexcusable." "War poisons men's souls." "Greatest war movie ever made." "Yes, yes." "It's a quote." "From "The Thin Red Line"." ""War poisons men's souls and turns them into dogs"." "I told you he killed his own men." "[Scoffs]" "I should have seen it sooner." "Seen what?" "Two witnesses to the rape..." "One gets murdered, the other commits suicide then leaves a note admitting to killing the first one." "But Hicks didn't leave that Internet post." "You did." " What?" "No." " You used the same quote, Captain." ""War poisons men's souls"." "What did you tell yourself?" "Hicks is a junkie." "It's only a matter of time before he O.D.'s anyway." "Might as well help him along." " I didn't..." " It's over." "You'll face a military tribunal for the friendly fire and the cover-up..." "Probably spend the rest of your life in Leavenworth." "Two more murders don't make a difference." "Tell us what happened." "Hicks was already out of it when I got there." "I guess I just convinced myself he'd be better off dead." "I mean, his life had already become such a waste." "And that makes killing him okay?" "Sure, it had to be done." "You needed a fall guy." "You'd already killed Larry McPhee." "He told Hicks he was gonna blow the whistle on the rape." "Hicks obviously told you, and you knew it was all gonna come out..." "The friendly fire, the cover-up." "You had to stop him before he went to Kendra." "No, I just went there to talk to him." "I got to tell her the truth, Sir." "She deserves better than she got." "McPhee, don't do this." "Hey." "Brock:" "I didn't want to do it." "He wouldn't listen." "[Grunts]" "And then you not only take out Hicks, you frame him for Larry's murder." "It wasn't my idea." "Rickford said if I didn't shut them up, he'd destroy me." "Blake Rickford told you to kill them?" "Not Blake." "[Music]" "What the hell's going on here?" "Just giving you a little heads-up, Congressman." "Brock Alecksen just gave a sworn statement to the U.S. Attorney saying that you blackmailed him into killing Larry McPhee and Anthony Hicks." " That's ridiculous." " Daniel:" "Come on." "When Blake heard that McPhee was gonna come clean, he came running straight for daddy, told you all about the friendly fire." "Then you told Alecksen if he didn't fix the problem, you'd ruin him." "I never told him to kill anybody." "Well, you might not have used the word "murder,"" "but you'll be charged as a co-conspirator." "Based on the dubious testimony of a confessed killer?" "I don't think so." "I'm a United States Congressman." "Even if these charges don't stick, your political career is over." "Press will eat you alive." "Hey, remember what you said to me in court?" "Well, it turns out my ex-wife didn't screw up my life." "But your precious son sure screwed up yours." "My son was an idiot." "Every crazy idea he had, every hair-brained scheme that he tried, he screwed up." "Expelled from three prep schools, fired from countless jobs, hookers, strip clubs." "He couldn't even keep his hands off the ladies when he knew that the FBI was following him." "I forced him to enlist." "Thought maybe military discipline would straighten his sorry ass out." "But deep down..." "I hoped he'd come home in a box." "And when he finally got himself killed, I wasn't sad." "I was relieved." "Done with cleaning up his messes." "I'm not going down for his mistakes." "Now get the hell out of my office." "Donnie:" "The C.O. will testify for you." "We can finally prove that Blake Rickford raped Kendra." "It's too late." "If I take this to trial, the prosecutor will destroy me." "They'll just say that I was obsessed with Rickford." "That's their side of the story." "You have to tell yours." "What's to tell?" "I thought that he was raping a woman, but he wasn't." "He wasn't a murderer, either." "And I was wrong, and I have to pay for what I did." " Kate..." " Call Erlich." "Tell him I'll take the deal." "No." "We're gonna fight this." "Donnie, make the call." "[Knock on door]" "Lewicki!" "[Knocking continues]" "Lewick... [sighs]" "Miranda, it's not a good time." "I want to meet her." "Who?" "Natalie." "I told you she's not real." "Well, she's real to you." "What?" "Are you afraid I won't like her?" " Or that she won't like me?" " No... of course she'd like you." " Then introduce me." " It doesn't work like that." "I can't just summon her." "What's with you and these loopy broads?" "She wants to meet your imaginary girlfriend." "Talk about a hair-brained scheme." "Hair-brained scheme..." "Is she talking to you right now?" "No." "Like his daddy said, that boy Rickford sure had a lot of bad ideas." "But picking up that girl when he knew that that little pistol Kate Moretti was following him." "That was the most hair-brained of all." " Daniel." " Could I get a ride downtown?" "Ms. Moretti." "It is my understanding that you wish to change your plea?" "Yes, your honor." "Stop!" "I'm sorry, your honor." "Kate, don't do this." "Daniel, please." "Your perception was wrong that night." "Blake Rickford was not gonna commit a rape." "Yes, I know." "That's why I'm standing here." " He was gonna commit a murder." " Whose?" "Yours." "The Congressman said his son couldn't keep his hands off women even though he knew the FBI was following him." "He made you, Kate." "I don't know, Daniel." "I'm pretty good at surveillance." "Well, you did tell Rickford you'd be watching his every move." "Okay, say it's possible." "What difference does it make?" "That's the wrong question." "Wrong question." "The right question is why would Rickford rape a woman if he knew you were watching him?" " He wouldn't." " Exactly." "Exactly." "The whole thing was an act to lure you in and kill you." "I don't know, Daniel." "It sounds pretty nuts." "Well, the Congressman also said that Blake was constantly coming up with hair-brained schemes." "That makes sense." "You swore to make his life hell." "He knew you'd prove the rape no matter how long it took, so he had to try and get rid of you." "Okay, say you're right." "How do we prove it?" "[Knock on door]" "You must be Donnie." "I'm Candy." "I think I've got a cavity already." "[Chuckles]" "Please, come in." "$5,000." "Don't worry, baby." "I'm worth every penny." "[Sighs]" "Since this is our first time..." "I'd like to know what you like." "Actually, I just want to talk." "Wendy." "[Chuckles]" " That's not my name." " Sure, it is." "I watched you give a sworn statement to the U.S. Attorney about the night Blake Rickford died." "I'm representing the woman accused of killing him." "I'm out of here." "I had you followed." "You have quite a social life." "On Tuesday, you were with Alderman Lomax." "I asked him about you, and since he really wanted his liaisons with a call girl kept private." "He gave up your super-secret phone number, which I'm told is very hard to come by." "You paid taxes on 60k a year from your phony decorating job, but I'm betting the real money is under a Swiss mattress or in the Caymans." "The government will take it all... every penny." "But if you help me, I'll talk to the U.S. Attorney about getting you immunity." "Blake Rickford hired me to meet him at the bar that night." "He said he liked tipsy women." "So I pretended I was drunk." "He was a little rough, but I just thought that was a part of his act." "In the car, he kept on looking in the rear view mirror." "But at his place, he insisted that we make out in front of his window." "Like he wanted someone to see us." "He told me to scream..." "[screams] So I did." "I thought it was just a game." "[Glass shatters]" "But when we heard someone breaking in, he didn't seem worried." "Like he knew what was gonna happen." "He sounded afraid, but he was calm." "There's a crazy woman stalking me." "She just broke into my house." "Please send help." "I think she's got a gun." "She's gonna kill me." "He grabbed his gun right there, like he was ready for it." "I didn't know what was going down, but I just knew I didn't want any part of it." "So I got the hell out of there." "Donnie:" "Until the next day." "When it was all over the news that an FBI Agent had gunned down a Congressman's son." "You saw dollar signs." "I went and saw the Congressman." "He gave me 200 grand to tell the FBI a Fairy Tale about my perfect date with his perfect son." "And they bought it." "Cannot believe she snowed us." "Well, she's very persuasive." "Now, about that murder charge." "Judge Cabrera:" "Case dismissed." "Agent Moretti, you're free to go." "Daniel." "You never stopped believing in me." "Just returning the favor." "It was a hell of a job..." "For a pinko liberal college Professor." "Thank you for your service." "I'm certifying you fit for duty." "No more therapy required." "Thank you." "Goodbye, Kate." "So, I'll see you next week?" "Monday at 10:00." "It's kind of like a séance." "It's a little awkward." " Is she here?" " Yep." "Yep." "Don't worry." "I'm okay with it." "I'm gonna give you two some privacy." " Well, is..." " She's gone." " Hey." " Hey." "Thought you might be in the mood for some Hop Li." "Brought you some egg rolls." "Looks like enough to feed an Army." "Do you want to join me?" "Nah, I got to be up early." "But you've exonerated your one and only client." "What are you gonna do now?" "Chase ambulances?" "[Chuckles]" "Actually, I got my old job back." "And I got a bonus." "I'm prosecuting Congressman Rickford." "That's better than a raise." "Do you want to know what the worst part of this whole thing was?" "Was realizing that I have no life outside of my job." "I got to fix that." "I should go." "But you could stay." "Kate." "I want to stay more than anything in the world." "But I screwed us up once." "And if you give me another chance..." "I'm gonna do it right this time." "But Donnie, it's okay." "You've been through a lot and..." "And you're feeling vulnerable." "So, as much as I want to sweep you off your feet right now and carry you into that bedroom..." "I'm gonna leave." ""There are no second acts in American lives"." "Who said it?" " Fitzgerald." " Yes." "But F. Scott should have brushed up on his Neuroscience." "Because there can be a second act for the brain." "Devastated by injury, the brains of ordinary people can develop amazing new skills..." "A second act, if you will, known as acquired savant syndrome." "A high-school dropout is savagely attacked." "He awakens able to draw mathematically accurate fractals by hand." "After a stroke, a doctor with no previous interest in art becomes a gifted painter." "Whose work adorns gallery walls and magazine pages." "So if our brains can have a second act..." "Why not our lives?" "Broken lives can be healed." "Justice can finally prevail." "Damaged relationships repaired." "Sins can be forgiven." "Wrongs can be righted." "In our lives, as in our brains, we all deserve..." "A second chance." "You just have to be brave enough to seize it."

"Hi there!" "Mimi!" "Why hello there?" "I got it!" "What a strange melody..." "I haven't been able to hear it again..." "Good evening!" "Thanks for watching over me." "I'll bring you something to eat later, 'Okay?" "Mom?" "You're home early today!" "Oh." "Forgot to turn the light off." "I'm home daddy." "Where do you get in here?" "Stop it, Mimi!" "Let's give thanks..." "That sure was a strange song." "I wonder if I'll be able to hear it again?" "Goodnight, Mimi." "A light?" "Maybe it was my imagination..." "Next, Miss Yuu Yazaki." "Keep up the good work." "I will!" "Next, Miss Asuna Watase." "Coming." "Asuna has the best score in the class once more." "Asuna's first again?" "You've really been.." "That's our class rep for ya!" "Yeah she's a studying machine!" "Now then, before you go, there's a warning I need to give you." "Lately there have been reports from a number of students about some kind of animal creature near Obuchi probably a bear." "My brother told me, he said he saw it." "Just in case, please go straight home." "And walk home with a friend that lives near you." "Yes, ma'am!" "Wait up for me!" "Hey, Asuna!" "Want to walk home together?" "I..." "I'd really like to, but I have to hurry back." "Thanks for asking, though." "Sure..." "Maybe another time?" "Five kilos of rice, please." "Five kilos coming right up." "Oh, are you all right with that?" "Just fine, thank you!" "What a pretty day..." "It's so quiet." "I can't hear the birds..." "The Bear, it's a..." "Stand back." "It'll be okay." "Bu..." "It's going to die soon." "Can't be, No!" "Sorry for putting you in such rough spot." "Okay." "It's over now, we got to go." "Ahh, wait a sec..." "Trust me." "I'm sure I came here to meet you." "You're awake, I see." "The danger has passed, it's safe for you to go back now." "Thank you, you saved me, right?" "Thank you!" "But it's probably best, if you don't come here anymore." "Mimi?" "I know what I saw!" "There were definitely people standing there on the tracks." "Two kids, about this tall..." "Two Kids?" "Commander!" "Over here." "Miss Watase?" "Is Asuna not here today?" "I do hope she's feeling all right, poor little thing." "Now, I think you all might have heard already, but that bear was spotted once again yesterday on the Obuchi Bridge." " I heard the police are investigating." " Do you beleive that..." "If you'll pardon the interruption..." "It might still be near the routes you take to school, so take extra special care." "Yes, ma'am!" "Yuu, will you tell Asuna for me?" "Sure." "Also, the substitute teacher that'll be filling in for me while I'm on maternity leave will be coming tomorrow." "Is she really pretty?" "I'm afraid it's a man." "I just have to go." "It was the bridge right ahead, I heard..." "How frightful..." "I heard they already started the trains up again." "Well, there's only one every two hours!" "Good morning, Asuna!" "Hello." "It's a lovely sunny day, yes?" "Yes." "Oh, Mr. Sato..." "Howdy." "Hey, did you hear that bear showed up on the Obuchi Bridge!" "It's here!" "Wait a second..." "Saplings..." "From the power of vita aqua?" "It's crystallizing..." "Someone's come up to the surface." "Spread out!" "I figured she would come." "Even though I warned her." "Yeah I know..." "To be honest, I was kinda hoping she would come back." "I thought I told you, you shouldn't come." "Yeah so..." "Mimi!" "Why, you traitor..." "You were supposed to only get along with me!" "You no good two timer..." "And you, this is my place to begin with." "I don't want anyone telling me not to come here." "I'm the same way." "I came here because I wanted to." "I'm Shun, and you are?" "Asuna, that's me." "Your arm, your hurt!" "Your bleeding..." "ls this from yesterday?" "I'm fine, it's nothing." "But it's my fault that you ..." "You should get it looked at, at the hospital later." "My mom works there, she'll take care of you." "It looks like you have everything you need here." "Yeah." "But it's the first time this has ever come in handy." "I kinda wanted my own place, so I brought things up piece by piece." "You know?" "And this is the best place for the tuning into the radio." "Radio?" "Okay, all finished!" "Thank you so much." "Wanna hear it?" "I use this crystal instead of a diode." "Depending on the weather and time of day, you can get different signals." "Hey, that stone..." "Got it!" "Here." "It's some kind of music program." "See..." "Want some?" "Ahh thank you, I was hungry." "You know, awhile back I tuned into this melody..." "It sounded like no music, I'd ever heard before." "It's weird but it sounded like, what someone's heart would sound like." "When I heard it, I was both sad and happy at the same time, and I was able to feel like I was no longer alone..." "It will stay with me, always..." "I wish that I, I could hear it once again." "Shun...?" "Hey Asuna, you aren't going to ask me anything?" "I'm sure you must have a lot of questions." "Like what that bear thing was?" "Right." "Yeah..." "But I'm okay for now." "I mean there's just so much to ask it'll take to long now, so I think I'll just come back here tomorrow." "I came from a different land named Agartha." "Agartha..." "A foreign country?" "Mmm." "There was something I wanted to see, and someone I had to meet." "But now I've accomplished everything I wanted." "I have no regrets." "So your wish came true?" "Mmm..." "Alright I think you should go home before it gets dark." "Right..." "I'll go home after the cicadas stop chirping." "Asuna..." "I'll give you a blessing." "Close your eyes." "Okay..." "W-Was that just a... k-k-k-kiss?" "Asuna." "I... all I wish is for you to live." "That's all I've ever wanted for you..." "Yeah, uh..." "Sorry, see you tomorrow!" "Tomorrow then." "Whoa, what a shock..." "Shun..." "So, she's the one that heard my final song..." "She called you Mimi, right?" "I want you to, to lead Asuna to a better place in my stead." "Now at this point, the fear is almost unbearable..." "But at the same time, there's an equally powerful happiness." "It's like my hand can almost reach them..." "I'm home, Asuna." "Welcome home!" "You must be tired from the night shift." "Yeah..., two lunches?" "Yeah, one's for a friend!" "Mom, you'll eat breakfast, right?" "Maybe we could eat it together?" "What are you talking about?" "You've eaten already, right?" "I can still eat a bit more." "Actually, I'm still kind of hungry." "No." "You have to make sure you're not late to school." "Asuna, why don't we go out to dinner somewhere tonight?" "I have the day off, after all." "Really?" "Then I'll be home before six!" "Six?" "Today's Saturday, right?" "Where are you going?" "To a friend's place!" "See you later!" "Hey, what happened to your scarf?" "I lost it." "I'll buy another at the school store!" "Have a nice day!" "A friend, huh?" "Are you sure about that?" "Ah, I see." "Yes, yes..." "Anyway, I'll ask tomorrow." "And I told him I'd come today..." "Maybe it's because of the rain?" "I'm home." "Sorry, Mom... can you get me a towel?" "My, look at you... you're sopping wet!" "You didn't bring an umbrella?" "No..." "H-Hey, I can dry myself!" "Mom?" "Mom..." "What is it?" "Asuna, the police found a young boys body in the riverbed." "He had your scarf tied around his arm." "When they found him, he was dead." "That's got to be someone else..." "After all, it's not like he fell or anything." "Asuna..." "I'm fine." "I'm sure it's a mistake, don't worry." "Since it's raining, let's do dinner some other time." "Okay, I need to do my homework." "Asuna..." "I'm fine, okay?" "Shun!" "Shun!" "Dad's not coming back anymore?" "Is he, Mom?" "To wish for something like that..." "I'm sure he wouldn't want that." "Yes, dad said that death was a part of life, after all." "Even so..." "I..." "And then sadly, tragically his wife died." "Overcome with grief, Izanagi decided to travel to the land of Yomi far underneath the earth, in order to bring his wife Izanami, back from the dead." "After traveling deep beneath the earth, he was at last reunited with his wife." "Upon their reunion she said this:" ""I am a resident of the land of the dead." "However, if the god of Yomi allows it," "I can return home with you."" ""But for that to happen, there is one condition."" ""While I am talking with the god, you must not look at my body."" "But Izanagi broke that promise." "He opened the gate to Yomi." "And therefore Izanagi's wife can no longer return with him." "And that is the first verse of the Kojiki Mythology." "This myth of those heading below the earth to resurrect loved one's is not unique to our culture." "It can be called the land of Yomi." "The Romans called it the underworld." "The Greeks, Hades, Buddhism, Shambhala, Agartha..." "Different in name perhaps, but all located in the same space beneath our world." "People once believed that the secret to death itself, lies beneath our very feet." "Everyone, it is time to go home from school." "Is there something about Asuna?" "No, she just seems very serious, so I was wondering what kind of student she was..." "Oh yes..." "She's very well behaved, and a very good girl." "But her father passed away when she was young, and her mother seems to be very busy with her nursing work." "I do wonder if she's trying too hard to be good, you know..." "That's to bad?" "And they found that corpse of the unidentified boy before, Just terrible." "Asuna, aren't you going home?" "Yuu..." "No, I have something I need to ask Mr. Morisaki." "I don't really like him so much..." "Today's lesson was kinda scary..." "Scary?" "You know I heard something, a rumor that his wife died..." "Pardon me." "So?" "Seems like he went home already." "Later!" "See you tomorrow." "Can I help you?" "Um, I'm sorry, but I have something I wanted to ask you about what you said in class." "Of course, just give me a moment." "Do you drink coffee?" "Yes!" "If you could put some milk in it..." "Thank you very much." "Um, I'm sorry for barging in like this." "I asked Ms. Ikeda where you lived." "Well now as you can see, your not bothering anyone but me." "I'm sorry my place is not quite ready for guests, I've just arrived here." "So, what can I do?" "U-Um, about what you said in class today..." "You were listening very intently, yes..." "You have someone you want to bring back from the dead?" "It was you, who met the stranger that came from Agartha wasn't it..." "Take a look at this." "We call them "Quetzal Coatl"." "The gatekeepers that guard the entrances to Agartha." "Compare that to this illustration?" "It looks similar to the one from before." "It's a 3, 000-year-old statue of a god from Sumeria." "Once there were gods just like this all around the world," "They were guiding the path of humanity." "When it was still in it's infancy." "Those are what we call "Quetzal Coatl"." "Eventually humanity grew up," "And the existence of gods was no longer necessary.," "They hid themselves under the earth as gatekeepers." "Along with a number of different clans." "Clans?" "A small number of humans went with the Quetzal Coatl underneath the ground." "To the underworld, Agartha." "There the gods that disappeared, remain with their secrets, and it is said to be a place where any kind of wish can be fulfilled." "Even resurrecting the dead!" "Is Agartha a real place?" "Who knows?" "It could just be an old legend." "I've only been researching all the different theories on the matter, just a little hobby of mine." "But what..." "You should head home." "It's getting dark." "Thank you." "I'm not sure I was much help..." "No, you were..." "Mr. Morisaki, I'm sure that Agartha really exists." "It'll be night soon." "Go straight home, and don't stray from the path." "Mimi?" "Hey, wait..." "Mimi!" "I said, wait!" "Mimi, where are you?" "Shun, Shun!" "I knew it!" "You're okay!" "Hands off, who are you?" "Did he make contact with a Topsider or something?" "Shun...?" "He's gone." "Just forget everything that's happened." "Arch Angels here?" "I have to go!" "A boy from Agartha." "Hand over the clavis." "Who are these men?" "What do they want?" "Damn it!" "Don't hit them." "We'll let them lead us to it." "That jewel..." "This clavis?" "I came to the surface to get it back." "This way, they can't get in." "Wait until morning and then go home." "The surface?" "So Agartha really is underground?" "You've even heard about that?" "Shun..." "Could you have lost your memories?" "Now look..." "In there." "Damn it!" "They're coming in!" "Hey, how far are we..." "Hurry up and follow me!" "They're coming after us!" "Shun, is this cave..." "I told you already!" "I'm not Shun!" "I'm under no obligation to save you, by the way." "Then what's the deal?" "If you're not Shun, then who are you?" "Quiet." "You stay here." "What?" "The gatekeeper." "The gatekeepers once guided humans long ago." "But because of the polluted atmosphere above, most of them have lost their senses..." "It'd be great if they remembered ..." "Shun!" "Stay back!" "Are you okay?" "It's not over yet." "Take the clavis." "I don't want to kill the gatekeeper." "I have to put him to sleep!" "Shun!" "Shun!" "This must be the entrance!" "Are you okay?" "Let's run..." "That's a Pakicetus..." "They were supposed to be extinct." "What is it?" "An ancient whale from 50 million years ago." "kill it." "We can't do that." "We have to recover all the evidence..." "As long as we get that clavis, there won't be any complaints." "Do it." "Stop!" "Come here with that clavis!" "If you don't, I'll kill the boy." "Don't do it." "Then again, I could just kill both of you right here." "Shun..." "I'll save you when I see a chance." "Right." "Don't stop, keep walking." "Watch over the boy here." "Is that the gate?" "Most likely." "Neither explosives nor drills will be effective, like at the South Pole." "Touch the clavis to that light." "What's the matter?" "Do it." "The Interstitial Sea..." "Finally, it's within my grasp..." "Good work, men." "Commander, what are you..." "I'll be going alone from here." "Give the old men back at Europa my best wishes." "Don't move!" "Shun!" "What's the meaning of this?" "Mr. Morisaki?" "Now that I've come this far, I have no reason to be your enemy." "all I want to do is go to Agartha." "Agartha is falling into ruin." "Nothing Arch Angel hopes to find is there." "I do not seek the secret to eternal life or the knowledge of the ancients." "all I want is to return my wife to the living." "Do as you wish, I don't care." "My only mission was to retrieve the clavis." "What's your name?" "Asuna." "I'm Shin." "Shun's younger brother." "Shin?" "Then, Shun is..." "My brother is dead." "He knew that he couldn't survive on the surface for long, yet he broke the rules and went anyway." "I'm leaving now." "You can open the exit even without a clavis." "I'm sorry about you getting involved, Asuna..." "Shin..." "I didn't mean to put you in the middle." "Mr. Morisaki, why?" "Have you heard of the name Arch Angel?" "No..." "It's the only organization that recognizes the existence of Agartha." "It wants the knowledge of the underworld in order to lead humanity on the proper path." "I am a member, and I have been searching for the entrance to Agartha for more than ten years." "But, the people you were with..." "Arch Angel is nothing more than a group of empty headed gnostics and self-righteousness scholars" "Nothing they believe, is of any interest to me." "My only goal in finding this place is to resurrect my wife." "I'm going to head to Agartha, and search for a way." "Sorry you were dragged into this." "It's vita aqua, I knew it..." "Mr. Morisaki!" "Mr. Morisaki..." "I'm coming too!" "And why is that?" "Could it be you just want to bring that dead boy back to life?" "Well..." "I don't really know..." "But!" "It may be a dangerous journey, and I don't know when or if we'll be able to get back." "I understand." "Take my hand." "This is an ancient fluid known as vita aqua." "If it fills your lungs, you should be able to breathe." "Agartha should just be below." "Um, Mr. Morisaki, wait..." "It's okay." "You can breathe in the water." "This is to bring back someone precious..." "Make your decision, Asuna!" "We'll be able to meet her soon..." "Yes..." "I pray that this child's life will be a blessing..." "Don't worry." "Just by being born, life is already full of great happiness." "That's right..." "I need to be born soon." "Stars..." "Mimi..." "Are you awake?" "That little guy popped out of your backpack." "You brought it with you?" "No..." "When did you..." "You might not have the luxury to take it with you the whole way." "With me?" "Mr. Morisaki, is this..." "It looks like we can get through those stairs on the other side." "Let's go." "Something is here." "Yes..." "This might be another gatekeeper." "It's looking at us." "Then I guess we'll have to take it straight on." "Mimi!" "Mimi, come here." "Asuna!" "Mimi!" "Asuna, let's go." "That might be more useful than I thought." "So this is Agartha." "Mr. Morisaki, look!" "Shakuna Vimana!" "The flying ark on which God rides!" "Just like it was written..." "God ..." "That's..." "A clavis?" "A fragment of one?" "But why do you have that?" "It's a crystal for a radio." "A memento from my dad." "A memento?" "Clavis is Latin for "key"." "It may end up being of help to us later." "Take good care of it." "Right." "Let's head in the same direction as that ark." "Where ever that ark is headed..." "It's probably where you and I need to be." "Here." "There are traces of villages, just as you thought!" "Although no matter where we go, they're in ruins." "There might still be some vegetable fields." "I'll go check." "Come here, Mimi!" "Toward Finis Terra..." "The Gate of Life and Death..." "Mr. Morisaki, look!" "Looks like I've found tonight's dinner..." "See?" "Some potatoes might be poisonous, just in case..." "I'll remove the poison with water!" "And also, your clothes..." "Yours are pretty dirty too, you know." "I'll wash them afterwards, so please get changed." "Potatoes, yay!" "These are good." "Thank goodness I found some salt that was still left in that old kitchen." "I'm surprised." "Is this journey fun for you?" "I... a..." "Whenever I listened to the radio," "I felt like there was a far off world I had to get to somewhere." ""This is not where I belong." "There is a place I've never seen before..."" "Then I met a mysterious boy, and chased him all the way here..." "And ever since I came to Agartha, my heart has been beating a mile a minute for some reason..." "That's why I'm sure that ahead of here, something..." "Um..." "Not being able to see the stars at night makes me somewhat uneasy..." "It makes you realize just how solitary human existence is." "Shin Canaan Praeses." "As for the recovery of the clavis, we laud your service." "But you have made a grave error." "A man and girl have come from the surface with clavis in hand," " making pace toward the Gate of Life and Death." " But I have the clavis right here..." "Theirs is a different fragment." "You stood there and foolishly allowed those Topsiders entrance into Agartha..." "This was a grave error." "But the task which I was given was only..." "Out with such excuses!" "Do not waste your breath." "Our days of prosperity are long past, and we are living the long days of twilight." "Our wish now is to fade away into Astral, the endpoint of life itself." "But every time a gate is opened," "Topsiders come and press in upon Agartha, throwing our peaceful existence into turmoil..." "We shan't ever forget the suffering we once endured, be it even for a moment." "A disheartening pity." "Facing the coming of age ceremony, your eyes are as of yet not open." "Unable to peer into the vision of the Quetzal Coatl..." "Unsuited to sense the breath of the clavis!" "Your brother had natural gifts." "But his soul was weak, and his yearning for the surface grew ever stronger." "Shin Canaan Preases, I give you a new task." "Shin!" "Seri!" "Aren't you in the middle of a task?" "Just a short break isn't a problem." "Seri, about Shun..." "I know." "It's a shame." "No..." "Even if the illness was hastened, I'm sure that Shun saw what he wanted to." "Shin..." "You have another task, yes?" "Yes." "I have to find the Topsiders and confiscate their clavis." "But that's..." "It's not like I was told I had to kill them." "But if I have to..." "You can't do such a dangerous task by yourself!" "After our parents died, the people of the village raised us." "I have to repay that debt." "Eat." "Thank you very much..." "Maybe we should make soup?" "Here you go." "What is it?" "You seem to be getting along all of a sudden." "Well, if it comes down to it, we can use the cat for food." "I'm joking." "Mr. Morisaki..." "It's like you're my... dad I guess." "Don't be silly." "You have fever, It's rare you never get sick." "I thought it was my job to fall ill all the time." "I'm sorry." "If you feel that way, can you promise me something?" "What?" "Even when I'm long gone, promise me you'll keep on living a good life." "Lisa, my next mission will be over soon." "After I get back, let's go back to my country together." "If we do that, then your illness will definitely..." "That's not what I asked." "Listen... everyone on this earth must pass on from this life sometime." "The only difference is whether it comes sooner, or later." "And I'm just going a bit before you..." "There's no changing that." "Lisa..." "Don't say that." "You aren't going to leave me, and I am never going to leave your side." "I would never prepare for your absence..." "For certain..." "Lisa, are you there talk to me?" "Um... you seemed like you were uncomfortable, so I..." "Asuna..." "Did I say something?" "No..." "A rainbow." "They're heading toward the land where the Izoku dwell." "I got to hurry!" "Got it!" "I see..." "So the scenery that I would see while listening to the radio was a part of Agartha..." "Come let's go." "And know what it means to say goodbye." "It's okay, don't cry." "You're all right." "Any luck?" "What should we do?" "What..." "What's wrong?" "They're gone." "I see the clavis!" "Come on!" "They can't go out from the shadows!" "Come here!" "It's okay, come here!" "Climb!" "Climb!" "Please, you can do it!" "Grab on!" "Asuna!" "Quick, come on!" "Shin is that you?" "Looks like you got it right this time." "This is the nest of the Izoku." "Come on, they'll devour you and your so called defiled blood." "We got to get out of here!" "Shin!" "How did you know we were here?" "Um, after we met last, I chased after you into Agartha!" "And that's caused me a whole lot of trouble, thank you!" " What?" "I just wanted to see you again..." " Don't talk, just run!" "They're coming after you!" "I am running!" "Shin!" "Shin, they're coming!" "Asuna, jump!" "Shin!" "Shin!" "Are you okay?" "Come on!" "Asuna, you still have a fragment of a clavis, don't you?" "You might want to hand it over to me." "Shin!" "Shin!" "I have to save him." "Hold it, little guy!" "Asuna!" "Hey, Asuna!" "Asuna..." "A horse?" "He told you to give him the clavis?" "It doesn't seem like those things that snatched you off were planning to give us a nice welcome." "And what'll we do with her?" "What is it?" "Something's over there?" "Downstream?" "Shin!" "You're covered in sweat!" "Asuna?" "Shin!" "You're safe, too?" "Thank goodness." "You're alright..." "Ah, right..." "We were swept away..." "Wait, I'll get you water." "You!" "What are you doing here!" "You're from Arch Angel!" "I know that you have a clavis on you." "Leave it here and get out of Agartha!" "Tell me why?" "How should I know?" "This is the job I've been tasked with!" "Hand over the clavis!" "Come on, let's go where that little girl was pointing." "There might be a village there." "I'm bringing him with us." "Do whatever you want." "There are people." "The first living village." "Let's go, but watch yourself." "Oh dear..." "It couldn't be..." "They're Topsiders." "I can't believe it?" "A bad omen..." "Everyone, stand back!" "That's the little mute girl." "The defiled child kidnapped the day before yesterday." "Halt there!" "Dinah's child, yes?" "Thank you for bringing our village's child back." "But you are Topsiders from the surface." "And I'm afraid our village of Amaurot cannot accept Topsiders." "You will have to turn back." "U-Um, could you at least take a look at this person... he's been injured?" "Those clothes..." "He's from Canaan?" "Why is someone of Agartha with those from the surface?" "I cannot." "Begone!" "Wait!" "Manna, I'm so happy you're back!" "Please, forgive my village's rudeness." "Not even a word of thanks for saving my granddaughter?" "Old Master!" "Must I suffer the dishonor of not even doing that much?" "This way." "Bringing you through the village would cause you to stand out too much." "His fever will break soon." "Although it will be a little while before he is able to move again." "He'll live, so there's no need for you to worry." "Thank goodness." "This is all thanks to you..." "That was a wound from the Izoku, yes?" "Izoku?" "They're a cursed tribe..." "That hates both light and water..." "But they are part of the structure that maintains this world in it's current state." "That is why they hate it so much when the two sides are mixed together." "Mixed together?" "So then, that child..." "Manna's father is a Topsider." "Things such as that, do not happen often." "Get out of our village!" "I apologize, Miss..." "But the coming of Topsiders is not looked upon as a good omen among my villages." "Asuna, come on." "For hundreds of years, kings and emperors from the surface came to steal the wealth and wisdom of Agartha." "The kings needed Agartha's knowledge and treasure to rule over the surface, you see." "And what they brought in return were countless wars..." "We were more glorious than anywhere on the surface." "But our cities were all but destroyed, and our birth rate dwindled." "Now there are but a handful of villages that remain." "And so we shut the gates with the clavises, locking them to prevent anyone from the surface from entering." "I'll show you to my archive." "will you help me prepare dinner there, miss... if you'd be so kind?" "Yes." "This way." "Mimi..." "Manna..." "What next, Elder?" "Would you cut up that bigroot for me please?" "Sure." "You mean this?" "Yes..." "A daikon..." "No, Mimi stop!" "I've never seen a Yadoriko get along so well with a Topsider before." "Yadoriko?" "What do you, mean a cat?" "Animals in which reside God's children." "Raised with humans, after they serve their purpose, they become one with the Quetzal Coatl and live for eternity." "God ..." "Isn't it nice to be mistaken for such a wonderful creature like that, Mimi?" "Now , would you like to give Manna a bath before dinner is ready?" "A bath?" "!" "Baths are amazing..." "Hey Manna, hold it!" "Mr. Morisaki..." "How do you like this outfit?" "I borrowed it from the Elder." "It doesn't quite suit you." "So why are you crying?" "Because it's so delicious!" "Elder..." "If I may, I was wondering if you could answer my question from earlier." "It is forbidden to bring back the dead here in Agartha." "If your saying that it's forbidden, that means there's a way." "Well..." "life and death are just part of the flow of something much bigger." "Those humans who wish to interrupt that flow shall not be permitted to do so." "Not permitted?" "Why?" "Exactly whose permission must I ask?" "Elder, even we on the surface know such platitudes." "I only want to know one thing, where and how can I reunite with lost loved ones." "That's all." "Grieving over the dead is proper, but to continue to pity them is erroneous and unproductive." "You should not have involved a girl of such youth in your delusional fallacy." "Asuna came here out of her own free will!" "Um!" "I... all you do is sit here, staring up at the gods, locked up in this cellar for 2, 000 years!" "Miss would you, I apologize, but can you look after the little one for me?" "Okay Go." "Okay." "Those clothes don't... suit you at all." "That's not a nice thing to say!" "Why'd you do it?" "Tell me why you saved me?" "Because you saved me, and I couldn't just leave you." "I was only forced to clean up after my big brother." "You mean Shun?" "Shin don't!" "Don't force yourself... you know that you can't stay here anymore." "Damn it..." "I should have let the Izoku kill you, then taken your clavis when I had the chance." "Or even better, I should have just killed those Arch Angels on the surface." "Leave." "Shin?" "I said leave!" "We'll leave early tomorrow morning." "You need to get to bed and get some sleep." "I'm terribly sorry." "I can't shelter Topsiders for long." "I've said what I could to him." "You can stay tonight at least." "And you can bunk with Manna." "Mimi." "Brother..." "Everyone set out... on each of their journeys as a cry for help." "If only somebody had been able to stop them..." "This made me feel like my daughter had returned to me." "Elder..." "Manna, take care!" "The boat should get you across the lake in two days and one night." "From there, you will be near the place you seek." "You have my thanks for all that you've done." "Asuna." "Mimi, come here." "Come on, we're going..." "Mimi?" "I believe the little one has fulfilled it's duty already." "People cannot decide what the Yadoriko do, you see." "But..." "I thought we'd always be together!" "Mimi!" "Mimi!" "Asuna, you just have to accept it." "Elder, please..." "Mimi!" "Mr. Morisaki, wait!" "I still..." "Mimi!" "Manna, take care of Mimi!" "Mimi, listen to what Manna says, okay?" "Goodbye..." "Teacher..." "Do you remember what you said in class the other day about the myth, of Izanagi and Izanami?" "Yes..." "I was curious about the end, so I read the rest in the library." "What Izanagi saw at the bottom of the earth was a frightful, rotten visage of his wife." "So, do you think it's right to bring back someone from the dead?" "Our journey is ending soon." "You must decide what you're looking for..." "...at the Gate of Life and Death." "A light?" "People?" "No." "Izoku!" "Don't worry, they shouldn't be able to reach us here." "The part it played in this world is over, and it is time for it to pass on to the next." "Cry for it all you can my little one." "For her sake, as well..." "What's that?" "It will be here very soon my son." "Quetzal Coatl!" "And so ancient." "And in that way, it becomes part of an even larger part of the cycle of life..." "I wonder if Asuna thinks of it that way as well?" "Even though something precious to her has died..." "Elder, perhaps it is because the world of Agartha has learned too much about how short and meaningless life is." "Do you think that could be why, it's falling into ruin?" "Your naiveté is quite similar... to that of the Topsider man." "They have longbarrels!" "Are they going to stop them, even if they have to kill them?" "The same task which you bear." "What will you do?" "I don't know." "But I...!" "I will repay my debt!" "Everyone has left us now..." "It's over that ridge." "We must hurry before the Izoku come out." "Asuna..." "Wait a minute, do you hear that?" "The soldiers from Amaurot!" "Hide!" "I'll finish this quick." " Mr. Morisaki!" " They're trying to kill us now!" "Shin?" "Mind your own business!" "Don't kill anyone." "You'll just increase Agartha's hatred." "The boy from Canaan." "Why do you cover for the Topsiders?" "Those two saved a girl from your village." "You owe them a debt of gratitude!" "If we leave the Topsiders be, they will become the catalyst for ruin." "We cannot allow this root of evil!" "Now move!" "My debts paid now... both of you go!" "Shin!" "You're not bad." "Please, allow me." "It's the end of this world..." "Finis Terra." "The Gate of Life and Death is at the bottom of this cliff." "Hurry..." "Don't let his actions go to waste." "Lose as much weight as you can." "We're climbing down to the bottom." "No way..." " I can't!" "isn't there some other way..." " There's no time for that." "When the sun sets, the Izoku will come out." "Let's go." "Wait for me!" "Asuna!" "Asuna." "Listen to me Asuna." "Think about how far you've come, through a sea deep into another world ." "I know you can get past this cliff." "Remember why you came to Agartha!" "I can't..." "Don't you see this place..." "I can't." "Enough of this foolishness." "You have lost your place in Agartha." "I never had one to begin with!" "I understand." "It's okay Asuna, I'll go alone." "I want you to give me the clavis." "In exchange, you take this." "Go back upstream along the river, and aim for the Elder's place I know that he'll take you in." "When night falls, enter the water to escape from the Izoku." "I believe in you Asuna." "You can get through this." "It maybe a little selfish, but one of us has to make it back alive don't we." "The clavis has disappeared into Finis Terra." "We can pursue it no further." "But there is no way for the Topsiders to survive descending that cliff." "Boy, neither Agartha nor the surface..." "No place can provide you rest or peace any longer." "You have chosen to wander aimlessly for all eternity." "Think on that, and repent." "I'm sorry for forcing you to gallop so far..." "Can you stand?" "Where do you think I should go now?" "Asuna..." "Ruins?" "The defiled..." "Kill..." "Devour..." "Defiled..." "Devour..." "Asuna..." "I'll give you a blessing." "Mom, what's a blessing?" "A blessing?" ""I'll give you a blessing."" "Did someone say that to you?" "Yeah..." "It's like how happy I was that you were born, Asuna." "I think that's a blessing." "Hey, Asuna!" "Want to walk home together?" "Asuna!" "I'm sorry about getting you involved, Asuna." "Why did you save me?" "Just how solitary human existence is..." "I will repay my debt!" "Asuna!" "Tell me Why?" "Why have you come to Agartha?" "I came?" "Because I was..." "I was so lonely." "Oh no..." "Lisa..." "I'll see you soon." "Soon..." "The water's gone!" "Who did it..." "Defiled..." "Kill..." "Wait here!" "Devour the defiled..." "I..." "I... have to live..." "Asuna!" "The dawn is breaking." "It's good you're safe now, Asuna." "Thank you for saving me, Shin." "I never properly thanked you before, did I?" "Really?" "My body just moved on it's own." "I wasn't really thinking about, thinking about trying to save you I mean." "What is it?" "The color of your eyes is a little different than Shun's." "Yeah." "And my brother was taller, and his hair was a slightly different color, too." "What are you, a kid?" "Yeah, so are you!" "you really aren't Shun, after all..." "Are you still..." "Because..." "Because..." "Don't cry!" "Brother..." "Shakuna Vimana!" "It's heading to the Gate of Life and Death." "That's where Mr. Morisaki is..." "So that Arch Angel guy made it?" "Vimana is the ark that carries life itself!" "Finis Terra!" "I thought I'd gotten a lot farther away than this..." "I must have gone around in circles during the night." "Quetzal Coatl!" "Asuna, this Quetzal Coatl is..." "So you know?" "It's probably come here to die." "Vita aqua!" "This is..." "A graveyard of Quetzal Coatl!" "This is... the Gate of Life and Death?" "A song?" "Before they die, the Quetzal Coatl do this..." "They sing a kind of song containing all of their memories." "This goes out, and when it does it changes the form of things everywhere..." "Without us noticing it, the vibrations in the air enter our bodies and mix within us." "By doing this, they make sure their memories exist for eternity, somewhere within the world." "This song, I've heard this song before." "It's always stayed with me..." "Asuna!" "Shin, I have to go to Mr. Morisaki." "I think he might be in trouble." "But, the cliff..." "It says that it will take us there." "Shakuna Vimana!" "This must be..." "Agartha's god." "State my wish?" "I never forgot you... never in the past ten years, not once." "I tried to get past your death, but it was no use." "And I..." "I can't find any meaning in a world that doesn't have you in it." "Lisa, I want you to return to me!" "Shin!" "Stars!" "These are... stars?" "Shin, look!" "Lisa, is that you?" "Why..." "You want a living vessel in which to place her soul?" "Mr. Morisaki!" "Asuna..." "I said..." "I told you to go back, you shouldn't have come here." "Asuna!" "Asuna, what's the matter?" "A soul of the dead is in Asuna's body..." "You damn Arch Angel!" "Did you choose this?" "Asuna!" "Don't give up your heart!" "You won't be able to come back!" "Asuna!" "It's cold..." "Where are you dear?" "I can't find you..." "Lisa!" "So that girl alone wasn't enough?" "Dear..." "Asuna..." "Dear, are you there?" "Asuna, snap out of it!" "Arch Angel, give Asuna back!" "What happened to your eye..." "I'm afraid your too late, I've already paid the price." "Lisa..." "I'm right here." "Darling..." "What is it?" "It looks like you've grown a bit older..." "I'm sorry, Lisa..." "No, Asuna!" "That boy..." "I swear I know him." "Why is it that my heart..." "Lisa, I want you to stay here." "I'll be right back." "Asuna!" "Asuna!" "Asuna!" "Asuna!" "Don't, don't do this." "Lisa has done nothing wrong!" "The living are more important!" "Shin?" "You're going aren't you, Asuna?" "Farewell." "Lisa!" "Lisa..." "I'm sorry, Darling." "I wasn't able to protect you..." "Lisa, no..." "Don't go..." "Lisa..." "I love you." "I love you!" "Find... your... happiness..." "Kill me." "Kill me, please." "I heard a voice telling me to keep on living, and embrace my loss." "You should've heard the same voice I did." "It's a curse that we humans must bear." "But I think it's also... a blessing."

"All this can be yours." "But power isn't a cute little lapdog." "You have to grab it and hold on to it." "The only relevant question is:" "Are you game?" "Clear your desk." "You got fired?" " No, I quit." "Ole!" "Come on, damn you!" "It's not funny." "I loved him so much." "He had a bad heart." "When is the funeral?" " Today." "He was married." "He had a wife and two children." "They didn't know." "We're going to support a different PM." "Me." "3, 2, 1, go." "Today, Denmark got its first female prime minister." "Here we are." "Denmark has got a new government." ""Democracy is the worst way to run a country - except for all the others."" "It took Nyborg's cabinet just two months to negotiate the budget bill." "If the budget is passed in two days, the PM will have passed her exam." "Hanne Holm, political observer." "What's this all about?" "The budget is what makes Denmark tick." "If the budget bill falls, so does the cabinet." "How did you carry through the budget negotiations so fast?" "Sometimes things just go your way." "What are you going to change?" " I'm announcing it in 30 minutes." "Briefing with the Ministers for Finance, Foreign Affairs and Climate in five." "Press conference at 10." "And at 11 ..." "The meeting with Danish Industry." " That's tomorrow." "At 11 you're meeting with the Director of the National Gallery." "She's going to help you choose paintings for your office." "The PM always gets to choose." "I want something more modern." " At 12 ..." "I need to concentrate on the press conference now, Sanne." "Did she just curtsey?" " We'll get rid of her." "Nobody else wants her, you see." " So the PM gets her." "We need your New Year's speech in four days." "And you need a new media adviser." " I don't need a spin doctor." "Guess who's the new editor-in-chief of the Express." "Laugesen." "And he wants your head on a platter." "I didn't fire him." "His party did." "But who made PM instead of him?" "He hates you, Birgitte." "Who's it from?" "Hanne Holm is with the Express now." "They take all the undesirables." "Good morning." "I'm going to tell you about the budget bill today." "The passing of this budget bill marks a change of system in Denmark." "Any questions?" "Hanne Holm." "Has the PM secured a broad majority?" "Unfortunately, the bill will be passed with the narrowest majority possible." "But how?" "Two Labour members have just refused to vote for the bill." "What do you mean?" "Parly Petersen and Vagn Fousing won't vote for it." "Their press release looks genuine." "It looks like you just lost your majority, Birgitte Nyborg." "GOVERNMENT Episode 3" " The Art of the Possible" "I've never been so humiliated in my life!" "What's going on?" " I don't know." "Get them in line." "I want them to vote for it tomorrow." "Okay." " My office in an hour." "Why are you going against party line?" "It's just great that the PM and her elitist friends - want to help the poor in Africa." "But what about the poor in Denmark?" " Why this protest now?" " My conscience rules my vote." "Convene the Finance Council." " We're meeting in an hour." "The press is all over us." " They'll have to wait." "Who's going to deal with them?" " I'll hire a media adviser, okay?" "Get the Party Secretary to help us." "Postpone the rest of my meetings." "Are you withdrawing the bill?" " No." "We're sticking to the plan." "There's something fishy going on." "Why didn't they raise their objections earlier?" "It's an ambush." " What are your options?" "Is this a test?" "1." "Marrot gets them in line." "The bill is passed." "2." "They demand concessions, we comply." "3." "We withdraw the bill and lose all credibility." "Yup." "And we're not the first ones to reach that conclusion." "Laugesen just commented on the situation on Express TV." "The Director of the National Gallery." " I told you to cancel my meetings." "Tell her to pick something modern." "Something modern, Sanne." "I want a new secretary." "The PM is not up to the job." "That's the plain and simple of it." "She masters political correctness, but is devoid of political flair." "This isn't a question of gender." "She's simply incompetent." "Express asks you:" "Is Birgitte Nyborg the right PM?" "You need a media adviser." "Now." "Hi, beautiful." "We're co-workers now." "I'm your new political analyst, because I know Birgitte Nyborg." "Congratulations." "Can I just ..." " Jesus, don't go overboard." "You're still mad at me because of what happened at the funeral." "I forgive you, Kasper." " Thanks." "You've been to hospital?" " Don't go through my stuff!" "It stuck out." "It was just a routine screening for cervical cancer, okay?" "Katrine, what's up?" "Nothing." "I have to get to make-up." "Why are you pushing yourself when you feel like shit?" "Look, I know you." " Maybe you don't anymore." "3 YEARS EARLIER" "Hey, save some for me." " Nope." "Save some for me!" "Hey!" "Ego." " Ego?" "I bet you haven't told your parents about me." "Sure I've told Papa about you." "Papa?" "Oh, sweet prince, how is Papa?" "Why don't you call him 'dad'?" " He lives in France." "Okay, then." "So he lives there with Maman?" "Mama." "Oui." "Or Sandrine, as she's called." "How come you call her 'mom', when she isn't your mom?" "My real mom's dead." "So Mama is a housewife, and Papa gets rich from making helicopters." "For the French army." "I don't want to talk about them." "When can I meet them?" " Soon." "You've been saying that for six months." "You met my family." " They live only a few hours away." "Mine lives in the South of France." " We were supposed to meet at Easter." "Then during the summer." "And then ... when?" "Then during the fall ... and winter." "I mean it." "When can I meet them?" " I really mean it, too." "Come on, give me a kiss." " No." "When can I meet them?" "Just a tiny kiss." " Okay." "Didn't you want a kiss?" " I didn't say where." "I hear you want Tore Gudme from Save the Children as your spin doctor?" "Yes, he's in line with our policies." "Have you seen his CV?" "He's the youngest professor of rhetorics ever." "Look, who would you rather send into the ring?" "Someone who can kick ass or a professor of rhetorics?" "Bjørn Marrot is here." " Did you talk to Parly and Vagn?" "I gave them an ultimatum." "But they're not bowing down." "They can't stay in your party, then." "They already resigned." " They've gone independent?" "NEWS EXTRA" "The cabinet is losing its majority, and the budget drama is escalating." "After Parly Petersen and Vagn Fousing got a bawling out from their leader - they have resigned from the Labour Party and are now independent." "Stick to the script." ""Bawling out!"" "She looks like shit." " Get Tanja to dab her face." "When am I back on?" " In 28 seconds." "What's up?" "What the hell are you doing?" "You're on in 20." "Where is she?" "Roll headlines if she doesn't make it." "Is there anything I can do?" " No, I'm fine." "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go." "The budget bill is not the only political drama." "Former PM Lars Hesselboe may still be subject to an inquiry into his use of public funds during his time in office." "Jesus!" "Well done." "Well, ask the AB Group to come over tomorrow." "See you." "There's a beautiful man waiting outside." "Tore Gudme." "Send him in, please." "Go ahead." " Thanks." "Hello, Tore." "Thank you for coming on such short notice." "I am aware of the urgency." " Sit down." "I know you hold a very important position - but I'd still like to ask you ..." "if you'd ..." "I get your drift." "This job is confidential, and you want a simple yes or no from me." "If I answer yes, I'll drop everything and start at once." "What do you need?" " A media adviser." "Spin doctor." " Yes, but not a "prince of darkness"." "I won't let my spin doctor control my policies." "My spin doctor controls the press." "I could sell myself for hours, but you don't have time for that." "You obviously know my qualifications." "I believe in you as a person and in your political message." "Do you regard that as a prerequisite to being a good spin doctor?" "I guess that depends on how professional you are." "I have no desire to be that professional." "I have a question." "I've read your CV." "Impressive." "The youngest Danish associate professor of rhetorics ever." "Educated at Harvard and Princeton." "You've always played on the winning team." "How are you going to deal with adversity?" "Analysis, consequence, execution." "I know it's short notice, and you need to think it over." "I have." "My answer is yes." "Can you start next week?" "You need me tomorrow at 8." "Make that 7:30." " Deal." "Thanks." "Hi, honey." "There goes my new spin doctor." "You hired him for his looks, or ...?" " Hi." "Great to see you." "Are you out for stroll?" "Oh, my God, Christmas presents!" "That's going to be tough." "Hi, Laura and Magnus." "Would you like to see the Hall of Mirrors?" "The budget bill's pure chaos." " Just like back home." "Your bodyguards invaded the garage." "Our bikes now go in the greenhouse." "The two independents haven't confirmed the meeting." "Give me an hour." "One hour." " One hour!" "That's just great, baby." "Magnus and I are off on a secret errand." "Well, Laura and I are off on a top secret errand, too." "See you." "Think we conned them?" "That way?" " I made a list." "I knew you wouldn't be prepared." " You're a sweetheart." "Magnus' list is huge." "He's getting expensive habits." "I'm sure they can wait." " Go ahead, Mom." "Sejrø speaking." "The independents are waiting for us." "I'm on my way." "I have to go." " I thought you said an hour." "Yes, and I'm really sorry." "Just go, Mom." "See you." " Isn't Mom coming?" "No, Mom's got a budget bill to salvage." "Okay, let's go Christmas shopping." "Thank you." " They're waiting." "What is your offer?" " A couple of million for pensioners." "I'm not going to cut back on development aid or other key issues." "A couple of independents aren't going to make me change my policies." "We appreciate your concern for the pensioners - so we've found another DKK 210m for them." "You've done your utmost to humor us, obviously." "Yes." "But I have another issue of great concern to me." "And politics is all about seizing the day." "What are we talking about?" "A motorway to Ringkøbing." "Thank you for coming." "We'll be in touch." "They're insane." "But I'll see what I can do." "Maybe we don't need them." "That was Hesselboe." "The Liberals and the New Conservatives want to meet." "When?" " Now." "You, me, Hesselboe, Yvonne." "Forget development aid." "They want funds for the police and the military." "I'm not going to revise the budget bill now." "If Hesselboe patronizes me, I'm out of there." "Let me do the talking." " Someone has to wake her up." "What an unexpected call." " We don't support your policies." "But I don't want you to bring about a crisis of Italian dimensions, either." "You lost your majority." "As long as I don't have a majority against me, that doesn't matter." "You could rely on the independents." " And base your budget on traitors." "They have neither morals nor brains." "You want to save the cabinet?" " If you're willing to negotiate." "We can't live with certain elements of your politically correct little budget." "I call it social responsibility." "Let's not get emotional." "I've drawn up a proposal." "We want the first press conference." " Give Birgitte time to look it over." "Let me guess." "Tax breaks, more police and military, less green taxes - and clamp-downs on juvenile offenders." "Yes, we demand concessions." "Denmark has a new government." "We are not pursuing a right-wing policy." "A government pursues the policy necessary to its survival." "Think it over." "Lars, the answer is no." "I won't go down in history as the PM who merely sat in for the Liberals." "The alternative might be not to go down in history at all." "Negotiation was an option." " These were ultimate demands." "Hesselboe wanted to come off as the great saviour of the budget bill." "Our only options are Parly and Vagn." "Go home." "I'll talk to Parly." "I won't give them more than necessary." "Am I a complete idiot?" "Maybe." "But you're the bravest idiot I know." "Are you still PM?" "Two days ago I had a budget bill." "Now, we're negotiating with two crazy independents about a motorway." "Will it secure your majority?" " Yes." "Then give them their motorway." " To secure the peace?" "The kids want to spend Christmas with you." "Even if it'll cost me a motorway to the sticks?" "Are they mad at me for not tucking them in?" "You promised Magnus a bedtime story." "He wouldn't let me read him one." "He's asleep, and he'll get over it." "Would the PM like to help me wrap the presents?" "I managed to distract Magnus enough to keep Santa alive for another year." "I promise to give them a great Christmas." "And I'll do all the hard work." " No, you won't." "Yes, you will." "We're still us, aren't we?" "Good morning." " The Minister for Finance is waiting." "The National Gallery wants to know what style ..." "The Director decides, okay?" "Good morning." "You slept here?" "I haven't slept." "The motorway issue won't be solved before the vote." "Ask the President of the Parliament to postpone the vote." "The Bulldog?" "She hates me." " The Bulldog is your only option." "She won't postpone the vote." "We stand to get a vote of censure." " This isn't Italy." "Parliament is split." "Securing the majority is all anyone thinks about." "So get me the majority." " We can't agree on the motorway." "The Greens are against, because it runs through a wading bird habitat." "I bet Amir puts his own survival as minister before the birds'." "Solidarity is against, too." "We don't have a majority." "That motorway was dropped a while back." "Why is Parly re-opening the issue?" " His constituency is up there." "Let's leak to the press that Parly doesn't care about the pensioners." "All he wants is a motorway." " Leaking confidential talks is unfair." "I bet Parly withdraws his demand." " We're about to be outvoted." "I think we're past fair play." "Do it." " Okay." "Let's see how far along you are." "Please unbutton your pants and pull up your top." "Let's see if we can get an image." "Let's see if we can see anything." "Yes, there's your baby." "What's that flashing?" " The little heart." "I can print out a picture for the father." "Do you want that?" " Please." "He really wanted to come today." " He can come with you next time." "Our source tells us you have new demands." "Now you want a motorway to Ringkøbing." "Yesterday you wanted to help pensioners." "Voters are getting confused." "Not once they see how this motorway benefits pensioners in particular." "Please elaborate." "Do you know how long it takes to get an ambulance in that region?" "Three times as long as here." " Oh, come on!" "One could get the idea you're just trying to please your constituents." "Tell that to 5-year-old Anna and her family." "Her granddad had a stroke and needed an ambulance." "The old main road was blocked by traffic, so he died in the ambulance." "Had there been a motorway, he'd have spent Christmas with Anna." "The PM wants to treat people from developing countries as our equals." "Why is a Danish granddad worth less than a person from Somalia, then?" "I'll pass that question on to the PM." "Tame journalism!" "Parly's arguments don't hold up." "Parly just won popular opinion because Anna misses her granddad." "HESSELBOE INQUIRY PENDING" "How will we survive the vote?" " Blackmail." "I see you kept the paintings." " They're about to be changed." "Your budget bill is causing you trouble." "I need a week." " A vote of censure could topple you." "I'm the only realistic cabinet leader at the moment." "And you don't think I could make PM again?" "Yes, and I'm offering you just that chance." "You have an inquiry looming." "They won't find anything." " I'm sure they won't." "But right now you're a potential embezzler." "That bars you from becoming PM." " What do you want?" "Without the Moderates there won't be a majority in favor of an inquiry." "I'll vote against the inquiry, if you vote for a postponement of my bill." "Give me a week's respite." "Neither I nor the New Conservatives will vote for your budget." "Can you speak for the entire opposition?" "Yvonne's been at my beck and call the past six years." "That won't change." "I'm asking for a week, that's all." "Yes?" " You don't answer your phone." "Maybe I want to be alone." " I just want to see if you're okay." "Why do you want to be alone?" " I'm working." "I'm going back home for Christmas." "Is that what you want?" " You're going to France?" "No, Mama and Papa are in French Polynesia." "Bora Bora." "It's their new thing." " Don't they ever miss Denmark?" "What's to miss in Denmark?" " You." "Mama and Papa aren't the sentimental kind." "I'm going to eat Christmas dinner at the St. Petri Hotel." "Want to come?" "I've got my family, Kasper." "Remember?" "They live in the sticks where it smells of Ajax and dung." "But that's okay." "You can come, if you're alone." "I'm not alone." "I was joking." "I'm going to my uncle's in Skodsborg." "He's invited at least 25 people." "It'll be great." "I'm pregnant." "Excuse me?" "I'm pregnant." "No shit?" "Who's the father?" " Ole." "But you can't be." " We didn't take any precautions." "It's none of my business anyway." "I guess you're going to get rid of it." "No." " You can't have a child now." "Why not?" "You can't handle a child right now." "You just made anchor on TV1." "Listen to yourself." "We're talking about a child, the fruit of our love!" "You can have lots of children later." " Yes, but not with him!" "Katrine!" "3 YEARS EARLIER" "Sorry I'm late." "What's so important?" "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "Your dad's name is Peter Juul." "There's no Peter Juul working for Eurocopter." "Your mom isn't buried in Slagelse." " Talk about investigative journalism!" "You lied to me!" " I didn't!" "I just left out some of the details." " Then fill me in." "My dad took his new wife's name." "He works for the French army who are not about to divulge any information." "Even I don't know what the man does." "My mom ... is buried in an unmarked grave." "My mom committed suicide when I was three." "I'm sorry, baby." "Let's go." "Are you coming?" "The cabinet avoided being outvoted today - when the Liberals voted for postponing the budget bill." "Parliament will convene just after Christmas." "Kasper Juul, welcome." "You used to work for Birgitte Nyborg as her spin doctor." "What's going on?" "The PM is under heavy fire." "Parliament is split, but Birgitte just secured herself six more days." "How did Nyborg win over the Liberals?" "I think we're looking at a horse-trade." "Nyborg declared on the news at 12 she saw no reason - for an inquiry to be held into Hesselboe's doings." "She gets six more days to negotiate, and he's off the hook." "In other words:" "Quid pro quo." "Hey, I've been Christmas shopping for 1 1 minutes." "My bodyguards chose hubby's gift." " Did you see this?" "GIVE DENMARK A NEW PM" "Did you see Tore's brilliant reply to Laugesen in the paper?" "Laugesen is turning the people against you." "Your spin doctor fights back with his pen." "He can't protect you!" "Then my results will have to protect me." "What do you want me to do?" "I work around the clock." "We've lost our majority." "You're fishing for sympathy?" "You're the PM, aren't you?" "Are you going to resign?" " No way!" "I'll be damned if I'll resign before we've even gotten started." "Let's find the money for that motorway and get to work." "I believe in this, Bent." " Put that in your New Year's speech." "Hello." " Sorry." "Isn't Christmas the time to apologize and all that crap?" "That's not like you." " It is Christmas Eve." "Are you at your uncle's?" " Are you partying with the Smurfs?" "My brother went a little overboard with the Christmas decorations." "The moron." "He says he'll throw me a spinster party if I don't marry soon." "You'd better get a move on then." " Yeah." "Sure you're doing the right thing?" " Yes." "They're calling me now." "Coming!" "Dinner's served." "Take care." " Merry Christmas." "Hi, Mom." "They didn't see me." "Why so stand-offish, Phillip Christensen?" "I saw your old spin guy, Kasper, on TV the other day." "He was on to your deal with Hesselboe." "Why didn't you make him your new adviser instead of Gudme?" "I don't want to work with Kasper." "He has no morals." "Since when did a spin doctor need that?" "He was a great campaign organizer." "In my world you choose the best one." "In my world you choose the right one." "And I choose you." "You could thank me for your present." "That pen cost a bundle." "Yeah, but you gave me one just like it three years ago." "Oh, how mortifying." "How lousy of me." "Oh, come here, babe." " I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Leave it." "It's mine." " It's your new friend, Tore Gudme." "Good morning, Tore." " Did you see the Express?" "Laugesen claims you and I are having an affair." "It's grotesque." "It's a vile mixture of gossip and hate campaign." "But efficient." "My neighbor asks when I'm calling an election." "My mom thinks I'm getting a divorce." "Laugesen wants to meet us in a live TV1 debate." "I'm game." " No." "You're the PM." "He's an editor-in-chief." "You're not on the same level." " I'll meet him." "The opposition will kill us for letting a spin doctor take a political debate." "I'm not." "I'm just going to respond to his dirty attack on me." "If you cross that line, all hell will break loose." "Laugesen is trying to undermine Birgitte's credibility." "We have to make sure he fails." "That's the bottom line of it." "It's time to act." " I agree." "I'll call TV1 right away." "Merry Christmas." "Laugesen is lethal." "Does Tore have any TV experience?" "The guy is a professor of rhetorics." "I'll be there at six." "Check with Pia." "Brief me when I get there." "You are coming to Granddad's lunch tomorrow, aren't you?" "I have to do an important interview tonight." "My plane leaves in two hours." "You're letting Granddad down." " I know." "Watch TV tonight at 20:30, and you'll understand." "Weren't you sick last week?" " Yes, but it's nothing serious." "People die from stress." " It's not stress." "You work all the time." " It's not stress, Mom." "You don't know that." " Yes, I do." "You're pregnant." "My dear girl." "How ..." "Almost 1 1 weeks." " Why didn't you say?" "Who's ..." " Ole." "So the child hasn't got a father?" "Ole's dead, Katrine." "You don't understand." " What's to understand?" "We're going to have a baby." " No, you are." "And you're alone." "Katrine, haven't you said goodbye to him yet?" "Why are you so hard on yourself?" " You want me to get rid of it." "I thought you believed in God." " This has nothing to do with God." "You need to look after yourself." " I have to go now." "Are you up to it?" "I can ask Ulrik ..." " No way!" "I'm ready." "Have Tanja put some color on your face." "You're pale as a ghost." "And smile, Katrine." "We're not running a funeral home here." "What?" " You didn't tell him?" "You want a baby, but no one can know about it." "Is it because it's Ole's?" " Shut up!" "Laugesen puts a picture of you and the PM on the front page with a headline implying a flirt." "It's grotesque and unfounded." "It just goes to show how low the Express is willing to go to attack the PM." "The Express is a mishmash of gossip monger and people's court." "But we all know what segment they cater to." "Watch your step!" " And what segment is that?" "All the uninspired losers out there." "Oh, people who don't read four foreign papers each day?" "The Express appeals to the lowest common denominator by glorifying Parly Petersen for criticizing development aid." "No politics!" " He has a right to speak his mind." "And doesn't the Express have the right to criticize your PM?" "I'd consider it a blessing if your freedom of speech were curtailed." "No, no, no!" "Are you, the PM's adviser, in favor of curtailing freedom of speech?" "Laugesen is using the paper to promote his own political career." "His board ought to look into that." "The PM will look into the matter." " Oh, shut up, Tore!" "Are you threatening to have anyone speaking out against the PM fired?" "I'm afraid our time is up." "A shame, because I'd love to hear about all these impending dismissals." "OLE DAHL DEARLY MISSED" "I know who you are." "You shouldn't be here." "There's something you should know." " I don't want to know a thing!" "Understand?" "He's my husband." "I want you to leave." " I'm sorry." "Get the hell out of here!" "2 YEARS EARLIER" "Papa just got a call from Sydney about a military conference - the week we were supposed to go and visit them." "Let's make it a winter visit instead." " This isn't working." "You and I. It isn't working." " What do you mean?" "Kasper, I think you're wonderful, but I don't believe anything you say." "I don't know what's fact and what's fiction." "Things are never as you say." "Maybe you need to keep secrets." " I don't need anything." "Okay, then." "I just don't believe you." "And I don't believe in us, either." "I swear to you." "This is all a misunderstanding." "I don't think so." "I think this is what we are." "I haven't got any secrets." "It doesn't matter anymore, because it's taken root in me now." "I think we love each other." " I think so, too." "Good news." "I got the six billion for the motorway." "I've drawn up the terms." " Impressive, Bent." "The press dubs Gudme an amateur." " I fired him this morning." "That was a first for him." " What are you going to do?" "We're going to sell the motorway to the independents - and get that budget bill passed tomorrow." "Who's going to handle the press?" "Try calling a pro this time." "I have a meeting with the PM." " I have to register you." "It's okay." "This way." "I'm impressed you found the six billion for that motorway." "The cabinet parties and Solidarity have come to terms." "The independents are on their way, and then we'll close the deal." "Wrong." " He's going to get his motorway." "Parly doesn't want a motorway." "He wants your resignation." "Parly is being used by someone who's got it in for Birgitte." "Michael Laugesen?" " How much do we know about Parly?" "Wasn't he nailed for embezzling with his EU salaries?" "Who saved him?" " Laugesen." "He made Parly go against party line?" " Sure." "When Laugesen resigned, he could no longer help Parly." "Parly's isolated." "He's not assigned any tasks." "He's finished in Danish politics." "So why not do a friend a favor and get your 15 minutes of fame?" "He's going to topple the cabinet to return a favor?" "I may be way out there, but I think you should call him." "Parly speaking." " This is Birgitte Nyborg." "Our meeting won't take long, because you're going to get your motorway." "Let's not get our signals crossed." "We still have a large bridge to gap - if I'm to vote for your bill." "I want a new hospital in Skjern." "I'll have to discuss that with my cabinet." "I'll get back to you." "The nerve of the guy!" "And we can't do a thing." "Yes, we can." " What?" "We can do what we've stood for the past 50 years." "Negotiate across the political center." "Let's enlist the New Conservatives." "We already tried to talk to them." " We talked to them and the Liberals." "Yes, they're in cahoots." " Are they?" "Don't you see?" "It would be a triumph for the cabinet." "The New Conservatives hate ..." "It would be a historic break with bloc politics." "Be quiet." " Meet her at Marienborg." "The old snob will love that." " Hi, Yvonne." "It's Nyborg." "Thank you for coming." " I presume it's urgent." "Tomorrow I'm going to postpone the budget bill - and pass a temporary appropriation act." "I want a broad conciliation across the center with the New Conservatives." "Sit down." "Why should we refrain from toppling you?" "An new election would lead to chaos." "Dead against your party's policies." "Law and order." "God, King and country." "Let's break with political warring." " There's a lot we don't agree on." "There's even more we agree on." "Tea?" "I should have asked you to bring some of your scrumptious cookies." "My support comes at a price." " How much?" "DKK 400m more to the police." " Deal." "Another 600 million to the military." "As long as it's for equipment and education, fine." "The industry doesn't like the pollution tax." "We'll just have to help them develop green technologies." "You haven't got the money." "Less that DKK 9b won't hack it." "Four billion." " Eight." "Five." " Seven." "Six billion." "And I'm not budging on development aid." "This is about principles, not money." "Where will you get six billion?" "From a motorway we're not going to build after all." "Have we got a deal?" " Let me talk to Hesselboe first." "We have, after all, been coalition partners for six years." "Well, he was right, then." "Hesselboe told me the other day you were at his beck and call." "Oh, he did, did he?" "Yesterday, the PM landed the budget with the New Conservatives' vote." "Political observer Hanne Holm calls it a decisive victory for Nyborg." "Not only did Nyborg get her budget bill passed." "She managed to split the opposition through solid political craftsmanship." "Thank you." "Are you staying on at Marienborg after your New Year's speech?" "Shit!" "The New Year's speech." " I've drawn one up." "Is it good?" "You look very sharp." " Thanks." "Your choice of artwork is interesting." "Well, it's modern." "Sanne, get me the Director of the National Gallery at once." "Despite the crisis, Denmark is one of the ten richest countries in the world." "Yet many criticize our wish to double development aid - instead of taking better care of ourselves." "But I believe we take better care of ourselves by taking care of others." "Let me explain." "For every 1,000 children born in Denmark, 5 die." "In Afghanistan, over 200 die." "This inequity leads to despair, it breeds war and terror." "So much for the political security arguments." "The most important argument is that 200 dead children are 200 too many." "Everyone should be allowed to see their children grow up." "I believe the meaning of life is to pass it on." "Yes." "Thank you." "Well done!" "Considering you're hung over from New Year's Eve last night." "I may just vote for you next time." " I want to show you something." "You wrote that speech?" "I thought you were a cold-hearted bastard." "I am." "But your wife pays me a bundle to write that sentimental drivel." "Champagne!" " Great." "Want a sip, sweetie?" "I sent you a personal message in the PM's New Year's speech." "An homage to life and babies ..." "I just had an abortion." " I'm sorry." "How come we're never in sync?" " I have to go now." "Happy New Year." "Kasper ..." "Here you are." " Thanks." "You're good." " Thanks." "Subtitles:" "Helle Schou Kristiansen Dansk Video Tekst"

"(Imitating Diane Keaton) Oh, boy." "La-dee-da." "La-dee-da." "Oh, jeez." "Woody Allen. (Laughs)" "You look great." "Al, here are a couple of... (Clears throat) dozen things I need you to get signed and authenticated, you know, if you have time." "Whoa." "That is a lot of stuff." "I'm gonna go get my camping duffel." "Sweet." "Brad, you have an alarming amount of memorabilia." " Yeah." "Yeah. (Scoffs)" " This is just Overboard." "It's not just "Overboard."" "It's the unseen director's cut of "Overboard"..." " Ooh." " Where Goldie Hawn doesn't learn her lesson in the end and decides to be rich and alone." "It's priceless." " Is it?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" "Priceless?" " Give me the tape." "Um, no." "No." "No." "Give me my VHS!" "(Laughs)" "(Both gasp)" "Oh, no!" " My tape." " Oh." "This is the plate that Alex made of her hand when we were little." " Oh, no." " She loves this plate." "She still eats birthday cake off it every night." "What are we gonna... wait." "She eats birthday cake every night?" "Just blow past that." "Okay, look, let's hide it," " and then we'll fix it after she's gone." " Right." "And don't worry." "No one will even know that you broke it." "E-squeeze?" "You broke it, Penny." "Uh, counter-squeeze." "You broke it, Brad." "What?" "!" "(Squawks) You broke it, Brad." "You broke it, Penny." "(Both gasp) A witness." "Sorry, guys." "This is all I could find." "(Squawks) You broke it, Brad." "You broke it, Penny." "Wait." "What did he say?" "He said I broke, uh, the glass ceiling." "That's right." "I'll climb that corporate ladder in a skirt." "And I don't even care who looks up it, 'cause I keep my yard tidy." "And those are my choices." "You know, equality." "Yeah, and, uh, I..." "I broke the record... (Door opens)" "For, um, having the shortest temper." "Now you better go on that damn trip!" "Get out of here, you." " Okay, bye!" " Pissing me off." "Better go have some fun right now!" "(Laughs) Have fun." "Bye." "You guys." " Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." " Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "(Both inhale and exhale deeply)" "(Squawks)" "What do you idiots want?" "How did you know we were here?" "I smell testosterone." "And, Dave, you smell like peppers, bud." "Oh. (Sniffs)" " Max..." " Mm." "Dave and I couldn't help but notice that you were acting like a lonely little bitch the other night." "I am not lonely." "I was just venting." "I say a lot of things I don't mean, like "I'll pay you back"" "or "I'm good to drive."" "Come on, Max." "We want to set you up." "I got a great guy..." "Ben." "He's in my drum and my jerk circle." " What now?" " It's my amateur jerky-making group." "So it's when you and a bunch of your chef friends bring your meat down to a circle and just jerk together?" "That's it, exactly." "Anyway, my guy is the ta-tas." "He's in my spin class, he's an I-banker, and he drives a crossover vehicle, so yeah, he's white." "Okay." "My guy, Jane's guy..." "It doesn't matter." "We just want you to be happy." "But my guy is better." "Exactly." "Let us make you happy with my guy." "My guy." "I am so happy." "I am quite fulfilled." "In fact, I actually have a very busy weekend ahead of me." "Oh, no." "Uh, what are you... what are you doing this weekend?" "Well, if you must know," "I'm about to mount an all-dead-fly-from my-windowsill production of "pippin," so..." "Yeah." "I'm into whatever you guys got cooking." "Yes!" " Yay." " (Whispers) No." "You broke it, Brad." "You broke it, Penny." " (Groans) Come on!" " Brad, don't worry about Tyler." "We glue this baby back together, and it won't matter what that damn bird says." "Ugh." "Where'd you get this stuff?" "These glue fumes are making me feel all gooey." "It's from my super." "It's industrial strength." "He said he only says he uses it to forget the past..." "Three school buses he crashed." " What?" " It's perfect." "Wait." "Alex did this when she was 5?" "Her hands were gigantic." "Okay, Alex, give me your hand." "(Gasps)" "Et voilà." "You can barely tell it was broken." " Right?" " We did it!" "Yeah!" "Ha!" "Ha!" "Suck it, Tyler." "♪ suck it forever, Tyler" "(falsetto voice) * suck it, suck it, Tyler" "(laughs) * squawk about us now" "♪ squawk about us now, mm, mm ♪ squawk about us now, baby, squawk about us now ♪" "♪ squawk about us, now, baby, squawk about us ♪" "Oh!" "(Gasps)" "Taking a nap, buddy?" "Tuckered out from all that racism?" "Someone's pooped. (Baby voice) Someone's pooped." "(Baby voice) Ty-Ty's a little ti-ti, aren't you?" "Looks like our little baby-waby goo-goo... goo Ty-Ty bobo... (Normal voice) He's dead." " Oh, my God!" " Aah!" "Come on." "Clear." "Huh." "Clear!" "Oh!" "You can't just poke him with a pencil and say "clear."" "We need defibrillators." "Well, I don't have bird defibrillators, now do I, Penny?" "I saw 'em in the Skymall catalog, but no, I just had to get my marshmallow gun." "Damn you, Brad!" "Damn you to hell!" "(Grunts) Face it, Brad." "Tyler's dead." "Yeah, 'cause your stupid glue killed him." "And now Alex is gonna totally know it's our fault when she reads the bird autopsy." "Ow!" "That's not a real thing!" " Fudge." " Now I need you to shush so I can think." "Okay." "We need to cover this up." "We need to cover this up." "What would Kerry Washington do in "Scandal"?" "Demand to see the president, then almost make out with him." "Exactly." "I know. (Laughs)" "We make it seem like he flew out of the window." "That's brilliant!" "Why didn't I think of that?" "Oh, right, because his wings are clipped, you dunce!" "Ow!" "But if his wings are clipped, we can make it look like he fell out of the window." "Now that's brilliant. (Chuckles)" "(Sighs)" "You know, the first two slaps I get... no notes on those..." "But the third?" "Like, our ideas were pretty similar." "If anything, I got us in the area." "Congratulations, Brad." "You pitched an area." "Hey, dum dums." "So you remember how you two dum dums pitched me the idea of setting me up, and at first, I was like, "what a couple of dum dums"?" "But I think I might've found a guy I really like." "Really?" "Oh, hell, yeah!" "(Bottles rattle and clink)" "Which is why I came over here to give you each... (Bottle fizzes)" "A choice bottle of wine to say thank you." "(Gasps) Then I remembered those choice bottles of wine I speak of..." "I stole them from that wine rack." "So mentioning wine at all would just raise more questions than the gesture was worth." "Uh, I'm over here biting my nails." "Who'd you choose?" "Did you choose Ben or Jamie?" "Can I get a drumroll, please?" "Neither of 'em." "Did not care for either of 'em." "But during the second disaster of a date," "I did meet a supercute bartender named Marcus." "We have all the same interests." "Love Ryan Reynolds, hate Ryan Reynolds' movies." "So I'm seeing him tonight." " Yay!" " Yay!" "That is awesome." "Thanks, guys." "Thank you." "Thrilled for you, Max." "But can we just put it in reverse for a sec... (Stammers) and just go back to that little thing about you not really caring for either of our guys?" "Uh, specifically, my guy Ben." "Hmm. (Clicks teeth) Ben." "Yeah." "You know, Ben just wasn't my type." "He also weirdly reminded me of someone." "You get John Mayer's latest?" "That guy starts at love and just floors it." " Wow." " I love the shape of your face." "Whoa." "(Chuckles) I mean, that line is a boxer-dropper if ever I heard one." "But who is it... who is it that... that he reminds you of?" "Well, it seems like Dave's guy has deuced the futon." " Oh." " But what could possibly be wrong with my guy?" "Jamie?" "(Clicks tongue) He just wasn't my type either, to tell you the truth." " He also reminded me of someone." " Really?" "I've taken the liberty of writing up our date itinerary." "It's laminated, so no worries if you spill salsa on it." "But don't." "Seriously, don't." "(Clatter)" " A laminated itinerary is just good planning." " Is it?" " Huh." " But that is not what matters." "What matters is that you and your new friend..." "Marcus are happy." "So jazzed for you." "So jazzed for you, Max." "Great." "Well, I got to skedaddle." "(Clank) Meeting Marcus later." "And let me tell you, I plan on wining, dining, and 79ing him. (Clink)" "And, yes, if you're wondering, that is ten better." "(Brad) Oh." "Ooh." "All right, Brad, let's get our stories straight." "Tired of Alex's diverse group of friends," "Tyler finally decided to make a break for it." " Okay." " Leaving behind this trail of feathers, he made his way to the window, pausing only to poo on this "Newsweek" with Obama on the cover." "(Deepened voice) Butt full of bigotry." "Then he pecked through the screen, leaving behind this... cartoonish, parrot-shaped hole?" "(Whines) Brad, you had one job." "Maybe I made enough room for my conscience to fit through." "Ugh." "Okay, whatever." "He pecked through the screen, tried to fly, but couldn't, and then fell to his death." "It's the perfect crime." "(Whispers) Wow." "Now the only thing left is one of us needs to toss this guy into the dumpster." "Nice and easy." "Yep, just, uh, take that nasty, dead bird and throw him in the trash." "Easy-peasy." "(Chuckles)" "(Both) Ew!" "Ew!" "Ew!" "(Both scream)" "Oh." "To Max and his new guy Marcus." "So, so, so, so happy for Max." "You know what thought I just cannot shake, though, is how did Max and Jamie not hit it off?" "Delete Jamie and replace him with Ben, and you've got what's going on inside my noodle." "I mean, tether me back to earth here, but Jamie is a catch." "Great legs, awesome take charge personality." "Max needs that." "And call me crazy, but Ben is a dream, right?" "I mean, describeme loco, but what is Max thinking?" "I mean, up is down, acoustic guitars are lame," "Mayer is bad?" "I mean, when did we all turn on Mayer?" "Well... pretty much right off the bat." "But you know, the more we talk about Ben and Jamie, the more I see that you and I, without realizing it, set Max up with two guys that are exactly like... two of the best dudes in town." "Thank you." "And who is this Marcus guy?" "I mean, that name... (Clenches teeth) Oh." "God, it sounds black." "(Groans) Which is the only thing I like about it." "Otherwise, I hate that guy." "But... we are missing the point." "Max is happy." "Yes." "That is all that matters." "Max is happy." "To Max." "(Clink)" "Still..." "Mm-hmm." "Mmm." "How can you eat bird right now?" "(Crunching) I can't eat." "I can't sleep." "All I hear is Tyler." "(Squawks and imitates Tyler) You killed me... (Squawks) but a white guy would've killed me better. (Whistles)" "Maybe we should just confess to Alex." "(Chair bangs) Hey, lady, the only way we get caught is if you blow this for us, so just keep it together." "Fine." "I won't sing." "But there's no way anyone in the world is stupid enough to believe that bird fell out the window." "Guys, my bird fell out the window!" "(Squawks)" "Tyler's dead." "Oh, my God." "I am so sorry." "What a terrible accident, I'm assuming." "I have no idea what happened." "The screen was popped open, there was feathers everywhere." "He dropped some farewell heat on my Obama "Newsweek."" "Wow. (High-pitched voice) Not the "Newsweek."" "Dark days." "Dark days." "But you need to move on." "My advice would be to not ask anyone any questions about anything at all ever again." "It's called closure." "You know what?" "You're right." "Yes, you're right." "Sweet, sweet closure." "These are dang good. (Chuckles)" "Mmm." "Of course, the real closure will come when I get the autopsy report back." "(Thud)" "Lord have mercy." "I don't like talking about my sex dreams that much, but it was me," "Jeff Van Gundy, and Stan Van Gundy." " No." " I had Jeff coaching me on defense, and Stan coaching me on offense." "Max, I didn't know you come here." "We spend half our lives here, Jane." "Me?" "Just hanging out with Jamie." "Great guy, by the way." "He said he is dying to go on another date with you, and then boom, fate takes the wheel and parallel parks us next to you... and your doughy friend." " Whoa." " Actually, Jane, you said it was Max who was dying to go out with me." "Did she now?" "Max, are you dating this guy?" "Who?" "Neil Patrick Niles?" "No." "Max, I did not know that you come here." "You mind if me and Mr. Wonderful circle up?" "Yeah, I mind." "I mind a lot." "Great. (Imitates Spanish accent) We doing single sangrias or should I order El carafe?" "(Imitates Spanish accent) Ah, señor." "Dos carafes, por favor." " No carafes." " (Jamie) None for me." "I don't put Spanish beverages in French containers because I'm not... as you would probably say... muy gauche." "(Jane laughs) Plus fruit garnishes carry more diseases than Kevin Smith's refrigerator handle." "Okay, what's going on here?" " I can explain, Marcus." " (Jane) Allow me." "Our buddy Max here makes terrible decisions, but luckily, we know what's best for him." "Well, when you guys decide who you want Max to date... (Bottle clatters) just let me know." "No." "Come on, Marcus." "Marcus, this is a bit of an overreaction." "I mean, this happens to everybody." "Well... (Slaps leg) I hope you two idiots are happy." "I told you, I never wanted to date Jamie or Ben ever." "Harsh barley, bro." "Is it?" "Is it harsh barley?" "What is wrong with Ben and Jamie?" "They're you." " What?" " (Laughs) What?" "Are you kidding?" "Look at yourselves." "(Chuckles) I think you got all the germs, guys." "And I got Jack Johnson one and Jack Johnson two over here." " Thank you." " Appreciate it." "I don't know how to make this any clearer to you guys, but I would never date anyone even remotely like you two." "You wanted me to be happy?" "I almost was, and then you ruined it." "So if you'll excuse me," "I'm gonna go home, hard-boil an egg, and eat it on the toilet. (Rustles jacket)" "L'Chaim." "Oops." "Yeah." "(Whispers indistinctly)" "Thank you guys so much for paying your respects." "Tyler would be so touched that you're here." "Well, not you, Brad." "Of course." "So, uh... (Exhales deeply)" "Did you get the autopsy report or..." "Brad, she doesn't want to talk about that now." "Yeah, but I haven't read it yet." "Just too sad." "(Door opens) Mm." "Mm." "Oh." "Tyler's friends are here." "(Whistles) White power." "I should go and say hello." "Excuse me." " Be strong, girl." " Yeah." "Oh, my God." "We gotta come clean now." "Please, can we come clean?" " I am so scared." " Shush!" "She will never know anything if she never reads the autopsy report." "That's why you are gonna find it and destroy it." "What if it was e-mailed to her as a P.D.F.?" "How do you destroy a P.D.F.?" "It's in the clouds." "I don't control the clouds." "I'm not Thor!" "Shush mouth. (Whines)" "Go." "Be a man." "(Whispers) I'll go find it." "Uhh!" "(Door opens)" "Well, matchmaker, matchmaker." "You know, I'd storm out right now if my love for funeral food wasn't greater than my hatred for two selfish jerks." "Max, we're sorry that we screwed things up." "I mean, we really do want you to be happy." "Which is why we tracked Marcus down, explained to him what happened, and told him he'd be lucky to date a guy like you." "Wow." "You guys, thank you." "That's awesome." "What, should I call him or..." "Oh... no." " Absolutely not." " No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No, no, no." "He was pretty upset." "It actually escalated into a pretty tense situation." "Dave here threw what he maintains is a punch, but it looked more like a figure-skating twirl, like a..." "Well, it's called a haymaker, which Marcus promptly turned into a devastating arm bar, but the good news is I finally get to get that Tommy John surgery I've always wanted, so... win-win." "Look, we're sorry that we tried to set you up with a couple of lame-os like us." "Guys, you're not lame." "I mean, you are lame, but it's cool." "And the reason I don't want to date anyone like the two of you is because my pantry's already stocked with an awesome Dave and a kick-ass Jane and a rat that can eat through aluminum cans that I will kill with these hands." "Hey, bring it in, guys." "Mm." "Mm." "(High-pitched voice) Tommy John." "(Whispers indistinctly)" "Yes!" " (Alex) Brad." " (High-pitched voice) Aah!" "Could you please join us?" "I'd like to say a few words about Tyler." "(High-pitched voice) Uh-huh." " Everybody, please, join me." " (Remote control clicks)" " (Instrumental "Amazing Grace" playing)" " We are all here to remember Tyler, a huge racist and an even huger-er friend." "He will be missed." "(Voice breaking) This is so hard." "His death is particularly troubling to me because I don't think it was an accident." "I know that there was a human hand at work in his death." "(Whimpers) And that human hand was..." "Me!" "Us." "Me and Brad... we did it." "We're so sorry." "Tyler was killed from the glue fumes used to fix your hand plate." "Also, we broke your hand plate." " What?" " Also you had huge hands as a kid." "And I'm sorry about that, too." " Yeah, I know that." " (Whispers) We're so sorry." " (Whispers) So big." " So sorry." "Wait." "You guys killed Tyler?" "Wait." "I thought that's what you were gonna say." "Who did you think it was?" "Me." "Before I went to the Rom-Com con, Tyler and I got into a big argument about what constitutes a "celebrity apprentice" all-star." "I said Melissa Rivers." "He said Joseph Goebbels." "I..." "I don't know." "I just thought he was so upset that he decided to commit suicide." "I see how you got there." "I can't believe you two." "You killed my parrot with glue fumes?" "(Voice breaks) I said I'm sorry." "Look at this... "Cause of death..." "liver damage."" "Real nice, guys. (Sobbing)" ""Systemic organ failure"?" "Oh." "Lovely." ""Due to excessive alcohol consumption"?" "What?" "Who gave him alcohol?" "Huh?" "(Coughs) Look at the TV." "You gotta look at that TV, girl." "What?" "(Max speaks indistinctly) (Man) Look at the TV." "Ohh." "That." "(Chuckles) I had to give Tyler 'ritas." "It was taco Tuesday." "He hated Mexicans, but he loved their food." " Heard that before." " These hands are clean." "Welp, to Tyler." " To Tyler." " Yes." "Hell, no!" "I will not toast to that bird." "He is racist!" "You know, one time he saw me get out of a town car and asked me what team I played for?" "Sounds like him." "(Laughter)" "(Dave) * Tyler, I miss you, you're the only one *" "♪ I wish I knew how to make you come ♪" "♪ home to me" "♪ why don't you come, come, come, come ♪" "♪ come, come, come, come" "♪ come, come, come, come, come, come ♪" "♪ home to me" "♪ Tyler, come home"

"... that you called us." "I don't know what happened." "We were at the bar drinking, having fun ..." "I don't even know how I got there." "Come on, she's been under too long." "You're the only one who can help me." "Come on, come on ..." " Tell me what I need to know." " They'll kill me." "You asked for my help." "Come on." "The contact in Minsk ..." "Give us the name." "Dimitri ..." "Miediev." " What now?" " Now we drink." "To friends." "Get rid of that scum." " Did we get it?" " We got it." "Would you like to watch a movie, Mr Rosen?" " Care to watch a movie, Mr Phelps?" " No, I prefer the theatre." "Would you consider the cinema of the Ukraine?" "Perhaps you'd choose one for me." "Thank you." "Good morning, MrPhelps." "This is Alexander Golitsyn, an attaché at our embassy in Prague." "He is also a traitor." "He has stolen one half of a CIA NOC list of all our deep cover agents in Eastern Europe." "For security reasons, the NOC list is divided in two." "The portion Golitsyn has contains code names." "It is useless without its mate, which matches the codes with true names." "It is this half Golitsyn plans to steal at an embassy reception tomorrow." "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to obtain proof of the theft." "Shadow Golitsyn to his buyer and apprehend them both." "I've dispatched a team selected from your group." "Sarah Davies is undercover now." "Jack Harmon can hack into their system." "Hannah Williams will do surveillance." "Your wife, Claire, will cover transport." "And Ethan Hunt will be your pointman, as usual." "He is now in Kiev and will rendezvous with you in Prague." "Should any member of your IM force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions." "This tape will self-destruct in five seconds." "Good luck, Jim." "A very straightforward objective." "We photograph Golitsyn stealing the NOC list, follow him to his buyer, apprehend both of them." "Now, here's the plot." "Ethan ..." "You go into the embassy in character, during a party." "Hide in plain sight." " You game?" " Wouldn't have it any other way." "Sarah, you're there as the embassy's Washington visitors' liaison." "You and Ethan will run the game." " I haven't a thing to wear." " Well, I'm sure you'll work it out." "Mark Golitsyn and hand him off to Hannah." "Hannah, you stay on him." "Jack, fingerprint security is accessed through the elevator shaft here." " So I guess I'm not wearing my tux." " Open, close, get out." "Claire, you're in the vehicle." "Hannah will join you as Golitsyn goes exterior." "You two stay on him." "If I call "abort", everybody walk away immediately." "Regroup here at 4:00 a.m." "Any questions?" "Can we get a cappuccino machine?" "I don't know what you call this." " I call it cruel and unusual." " I made that coffee." "Is it possible that it's worse than the sludge you made in Kiev?" "." " Hey, take it easy on my wife's coffee." " We missed you in Kiev, Jim." " Off on a cushy recruiting assignment?" " Did they put you at the Plaza?" "Drake Hotel, Chicago." " Punishing!" "24-hour room service." " Chauffeured cars." "He's getting soft in his old age." "Okay, listen." "If that list gets out into the open, the names of our agents will be up for grabs to the highest bidders." "Terrorists, arms dealers, drug lords." "Everyone who wants to get rid of us." "If they're exposed, they'll be executed." "I'll run the whole show from here." "Let's punch out the details." "There's a camera built into the bridge." "It transmits what you see back here." "Can you hear me?" "No, you need an earpiece." "You have lovely eyes ..." "Can you hear me now?" "." "If he has a car waiting, and he rolls, stay with him no matter what." " You should check out these streets." " What do you think I've been doing?" " We're using Waltzer?" "." " He's our guy." " Isn't he chairing a hearing?" " Not this week." "This week he's fly-fishing in County Kildare with one of our Irish guides." "And he won't be back anytime soon." "Senator, it sounds as lf you want to lead the kind of charge that Sen. Church led in the 70's, and destroy the US's intelligence capability." "I want to know who they are and how they're spending the taxpayers'money." "This is still a democracy." "Stick of gum, right?" "No." "Red light, green light." "You have a lock you can't pick, you mash them together ..." "Hasta lasagne, don't get any on ya'." "You'll have about five seconds." "Just don't chew it." "Ethan, Jack's inside." "Let's go." "How do you do, Senator?" "How was the opera?" " It was boring." " Let me see if I can steer you through." " Windows open by 2300." " Mr Brandl, the mayor, and Mrs Brandl." "Senator, I bet you don't remember me, do you?" " Of course." "How are you, Ms Norman?" " He's in pocket, on the stairway." "Mr Golitsyn, nice to see you." "Hannah." "Pull the shade." "Sarah, mark the package and go to two." "Your advance team said you'd like a tour of the facility." "This way." "Oh, great." "... which leads to the Denied Area, the only limited access area here." "Governor's in position now." " Can I help you?" " As you can see, there's surveillance." "I'm sorry, I know it's in here somewhere." "Sergeant, why are you not in uniform?" "We've been ordered to wear civilian clothes, sir." "Be right back." " Do you have a Jack on your staff?" " I believe we did." "An unreliable fellow, as I recall." "Constantly late and behind in his work." "We were forced to tie him to a horse and drag him around mybarn." "I'm working on it." "Sorry." "Thank you." "Have a nice evening." "That date with Sarah is definitely off." "Higher." "He's heading to the Denied Area." "Get moving, Ethan." "He's rolling to you." "Jack ..." "Jack, we're in position here." "I didn't touch it." " What about my coat?" "I'll freeze." " Jack, open the doors." "He's in the box, Ethan." " We'll take his exit." "Open these doors." " I don't have it." "I'm opening the doors." "Go under." " He's got it." " All right." " I saved your ass again, Jack." " Such a nice ass." " And a lonely ass." " Transport in five minutes." "Jack, we're in position." "Open the doors and let the package roll." "Stairway, you're wrapped." "Go to transport." " Jack, what are you doing?" " Nothing." "I don't have control, Jack." "Cut the power." " Cut the power." " Come on, Jack." "Jack ..." "Jack ..." "Jack?" "." " Jack, do you copy?" " Man down, Ethan." "Man down." "Ethan, stay where you are." "I'm coming to you." "The package is out in the open." " Jim, he's in the open." " En route." "Jim, he's in the open." "Jim, the package is in the open." "I've got a shadow." "I can't lose him." "Abort!" "Ethan, he's out of pocket." " I can't do that." " We're being ambushed." "Abort!" " Negative." "Golitsyn is on the move." " No, dammit, I said abort!" " Eye on the package." "Jim, I'm coming." " Jim gave an abort." "We are going to recover that disk." "You understand me?" "Now go!" " Where are you?" " 200 yards from the bridge." "They're covering the frequency." "Cut all radio communication." "Ethan ..." "Sarah, abort." "Repeat: abort!" "Abort!" "Do you read me?" "Sarah ..." "Oh my God!" " Satcom 7." " Central Europe, unsecured." " Designator?" " Bravo, echo, one, one." " This is Kittridge." " Go secure." "This is Ethan Hunt." "They're dead." " Who's dead?" " My team." "My team is dead!" "Golitsyn's gone." "They knew we were coming." "The disk is gone." " Are you intact?" " The list is in the open!" "Let's just bring you in safely, then we'll worry about that." " Were you followed?" " I don't think so." "Don't think." "Be sure." "Are you clean?" "Yes." "Location Green, one hour." "I'llbe there myself." " You're in Prague?" " One hour." "I ..." "I can't tell you how sorry I am." "I know how much Jim, in particular, meant to you." " Personally as well as professionally." " Yeah ..." "Here's a passport and visa." "Usual drill." "We'll work the exfiltration through Canada and throw the Prague police a bone, toss them a few suspects." " You follow me?" " Yeah, I follow you." " We've lost enough agents for tonight." " You mean, I have." " You're bent on blaming yourself." " Who else is left?" "Yeah, I see your point." " Why was there another team?" " What?" "The IMF agents at the embassy." "I don't quite follow you." "Then follow me around the room." "The drunk Russians on the embankment at 7 and 8 o'clock." "The couple waltzing around me, the waiter standing behind Hannah." "Bow tie at 12 o'clock." "The other IMF team." "You're worried about me." "Why?" "." "For two years we've been spotting a blowback in IMF operations." "We have a penetration."

"I certainly didn't rape anyone." "I'm happily married." "Happy enough for the wife to alibi you?" "I was probably here." "I spend more time in the lab than I do at home." "No alibi."

"Perp kills April here, stuffs her body in the car, and sends it over the cliff." "I figured out how the crash was rigged." " Looks like a paint mixing can." " Similar." "But these are used to store chemicals in labs." " Like Barclay Pallister's." " It was thrown from the car on impact." "See the angle of these dents?" "They're consistent with the pail being wedged under the dash when the pedal's to the metal." "I found more evidence up there." "See these tire marks in the pavement?" "Wheels spun in place." "He wedged in the can, and revved the engine." "Shift the car into drive, it takes off like a rocket." "Kills April in her apartment, stages the crash here." "With her history, Barclay knew we'd rule it a suicide." "Her body burns up so no one ever knows what he did to her." "I sent everything from the car's interior over to the morgue." "Maybe Warner can piece together how she died." "This is all that survived the fire." "Not very much." "Fire marshal says an accelerant was used, probably gasoline, to enhance the burn." "Smart guy, he wanted to make sure we didn't find a body." "I didn't." "You mean it was incinerated?" "No, I mean, there wasn't one in that car." "Body burns, you always find something." "Partial long bones, dental fillings." "Son of a bitch used his technology to vaporize her." "He had to have access to her home and her car." "Maybe, maybe somebody saw him with her."

"She was all dolled up." "She went to Luigi's, which is kinda romantic." "How do you know what restaurant?" "She brought me a doggie bag." "Nice T-bone for my rottweiler." "Of course I remember her." "She special ordered." "No garlic because of the baby." "Maybe she was hoping for a good night kiss." "I don't think so." "They barely spoke the whole meal." " What did he look like?" " Tall." "And from his black American express card, very rich." "You get a copy of the receipt?" "Should be behind the bar somewhere." "Uh, how was she acting?" "Pretty upset." "Before dessert, she yelled at him and stormed out." "Do you know why?" "I figured it was the hormones." "Here it is." "Barclay Pallister." "Pallister Residence 135 East 84th Street Thursday, March 24" "This is sour grapes." "You had to dismiss the rape case, so you're trying to pin a homicide on an innocent man."

"I never went to her apartment." " Where'd you go after Luigi's?" " Straight home." "Will your wife vouch for that?" "She left me after you charged me with rape." "Well, if the screw fits." "My client met Ms. Troost in a neutral location with plenty of witnesses." " No law was broken." " What about witness tampering?" "She invited him." "So what do a victim and a rapist talk about over a plate of pasta?" "Money." "She had me by the balls, so I gave her half a million in cash." "You walked through this city carrying $500,000 and just handed it over to her." "Yeah." "Then why did she leave crying?" "Because she's crazy." "I was happy to pay her just to get her out of my life." "She left with the money, and I never saw her again." "The problem is neither has anyone else." "We're through here." "Charge my client or leave." "By the way, your cleanup job at the apartment sucked." "You should've let April burn up in that car." "You've made an awful lot of mistakes, and I promise they're gonna catch up to you." "Every piece of evidence points to Barclay Pallister." "CSU checked his lab." "Same chemical cans, same industrial strength hydrogen peroxide." "Which you could find in any lab." "It's still circumstantial." "Well, look, the blood on the sofa, walls, floor, they're a DNA match to April." "We don't have a body." "Captain, we got a nosy neighbor off the canvass." "Said she complained to April about loud music the night she died." "April apologized and said she'd tell her friend to turn it down." "Did the neighbor get a look at this friend?" " She just said him." " I may know who." "April's LUDs, four incoming calls to her cell phone after dinner," " all from the same number." " Barclay Pallister." "No." "A Roger Mason." "Lives on East 82nd." "April didn't answer the phone." "I was worried about the baby, so I kept calling." "That's what friends do." "Most female homicide victims are killed by a man they know." "That's another thing friends do." "You think I killed her?" "You got impatient, because she didn't return your calls." "Went over to her apartment, got in a fight, and killed her." "I'd never hurt my baby." "Your baby?" "Our baby." "We were going to adopt her unborn child." "April never mentioned that." "We agreed to pay for the costs and the fees of the pregnancy and delivery." "How much does a bouncing baby girl go for these days?" "$50,000. / Sounds like you were buying a baby." "April didn't want to keep the baby." "This was best for everyone." "Now do you understand?" "We could never hurt April." "Then what was so urgent that night?" "April was depressed." "She'd been through a lot." "Her husband died." "She lost her job, got behind in the rent." "We had been giving her extra cash." "But then two days ago she stopped returning our calls." "April sure made a bundle off of that rape." "Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear." "Half a million from Barclay Pallister, and 50 grand for selling the baby." "Not exactly the poor, fragile victim we thought she was." "You have no idea." "Meet the Ramseys, the Harts, the Fritzlers." "All expectant parents." "All paid 50 grand to adopt April Troost's baby." "There could be dozens of marks we don't even know about." "She used the rape and pregnancy to turn a quick buck." "And everybody she scammed has motive to kill her." "Excuse me, I'm looking for captain Cragen." "I'm captain Cragen." "Lorraine Dillon." "I'm April Troost's mother." "April said that her mother's name was Sarah." "I've had six husbands and as many last names." "But I've always been Lorraine." "Your daughter also said that you died of cancer last year." "She always had a problem with the truth." "When she was a child, she'd run away." "And when I brought her back home, she'd make all these crazy allegations against my former husbands." "When's the last time you saw her?" "It was about four years ago." "We had a fight." "She stole several very expensive pieces of jewelry, including my grandmother's diamond and ruby necklace." "Did you call the police?" "She was my daughter." "Maybe if I'd had, she'd, she would still be alive." "Do you have any idea who did this?" "Mrs. Dillon, we think April was mixed up in some illegal activity." " There are quite a few suspects." " What did she do?" "She took a lot of money from a lot of people." "April always had a way of hiding things." "I remember once she said something about a safe deposit box." " Take all the time you need." " Thank you." "Any jewelry in there?" "No." "Headshots." "Those are very handsome men." "And well known." "He's a musician." "This one owns the hottest restaurant in New York." "This is that new third basemen that just came up from AAA." "These guys are a lot more than just good looking." "How about this guy?" "Barclay Pallister." "The man who raped my daughter?" "April was stalking Barclay Pallister." "And dozens of other men." "All handsome, rich, talented, at the top of their professions." "I know this guy." "J.J. Price." "I've got his CD." "It's quite a gene pool she's got here." "April was looking for a champion breeder." "Barclay was the winner." "Some ho tricked me into fatherhood, I'd be pretty worked up." "And paying child support for the next 18 years." "17.5% of your income before taxes." "With April and the baby dead, Barclay dodges that bullet." "Not for the murder charge." "If he did it." "He's only one of the men April was stalking." "Let's find out who else she burned." "Oh, that crazy chick?" " What'd she say I did?" " So you know her?" "Yeah, I really wish I didn't." "You two have sex?" "Most likely, yeah." "You forget a hottie like that?" "You must get a lot of action." "Dude, you don't know the half of it, man." "I remember her face." "I just don't remember the name." "The whole night was kinda fuzzy." " Where'd you meet her?" " At my restaurant." "Every man with a pulse checked her out." "But she only had eyes for you?" "And my wallet." "But a body like that is worth every penny." " How much she cost you?" " Nothing." "She bought me a beer." " Bet that happens a lot." " Well, they usually expect me to pay, especially after signing my last big contract but, she was different." "She knew everything about me, down to my stats." "What'd you do after the drink?" "Think we went back to my crib." "You think?" "That's all you remember?" "Dude, I remember porcelain, man." "Up close and personal." "How many drinks did she buy you?" "Just one, which never gives me a hangover." "I was sick as a dog." "Groggy, nauseous?" "Both." "I thought I had the flu." " Did you see a doctor?" " Didn't have to." "Pulled a random drug test the next morning." " I failed." " What'd you take?" "Nothing." "She doped me." "All right." "What'd they find?" "Rohypnol." "What are you doing here?" "Just need to ask you some questions." " Get the hell away from me." " Hear me out." "The rape charge was dropped." "I don't need to talk to you." "Please, just listen to me." "Now, the first time that you met April, she bought you a drink." "Yeah, so?" "What's the next thing you remember?" "Waking up in my own bed, alone." "Loss of memory." "Headache?" "Nausea." "She put something in my drink?" "Rohypnol." "I told you I didn't rape her." "I know." "But if she slipped me a roofie... how did I get it up?" "The only explanation is a technique called electro ejaculation." "I don't like the sound of that." "Nothing to it." "Insert this end in the rectum, an electric shock causes an involuntary ejaculation." "Love used to be simpler." "The first procedure was done back in the '70s on a teenager who died in a motorcycle accident." "His parents wanted grandchildren." "It's called posthumous reproduction." "The sperm from a corpse is viable?" "If harvested within 30 hours." "Will this thing work if the guy's not dead?" "They've recently started using this technique on paraplegics and coma victims." "If your guys were drugged, they never knew it happened." "And this is legal?" "No state law provides clear guidance on how to retrieve sperm from a man who's incapacitated or dead." "And you talked to all the men that April stalked?" "34 guys, same story." "April buys them a drink." "Next thing they know, it's morning, she's gone, they're sick puppies." "Any nightmares about cattle prods?" "Oh, they never knew what hit them." "I thought I heard of every sex crime." "Damn, who thinks this stuff up?" "Okay, so we know that April used" "Barclay Pallister's sperm to impregnate herself." "What did she do with the rest?" "A lot of women out there would pay big money to have one of these guys father their children." "Sperm banks make big bucks off genius sperm." "We have seven sperm banks in New York city." "Let's split them up and hit them all." "McManus Institute 114 East 57th Street Friday, March 25" "Welcome to the institute." "Please have a seat and fill this out." "We're not interested in your services." "Do you know this woman?" "April." "She used to work here." "What was her job?" "Collections." "She was our accountant." "You lying son of a bitch." "You're a fraud." "Listen to that crap." "Excuse me?" " Who are you?" " The police." " What's going on in here?" " That quack tricked me." "I did nothing of the sort." " I want my money back." " Okay, stop." "Now, what exactly is the problem?" "He said my baby would be playing Mozart." "I told you there were no guarantees." "She can't even play chopsticks!" "All she does is bang on the damn keys!" "All right, what exactly did you promise her?" " Nothing." "I inseminated her with the life juice of a renowned musician." "A genius in his field who will remain nameless." "Then why am I stuck with her?" "You provided 50% of her genetic material." "Perhaps she inherited your traits." "Okay, how much did you pay for this super sperm?" "$20,000. / I want this woman arrested for trespassing." "What are you doing?" "I'm arresting you." "For, for what?" "Stealing sperm." "What?" "This is absurd." "You obviously don't understand the magnitude of my work." "I'm saving the human race." "By stealing sperm." "I didn't steal anything." "You conspired with April Troost to forcibly obtain the mother lodes." "Nobody was forced." "She explained my mission to the gentlemen, and persuaded them to donate." "Yeah, with a cattle prod." "I had no idea." "I'm sorry if people were hurt." "But their suffering will benefit the greater good." "And how's that?" "The intelligence of the world's population is rapidly declining." "Poor, less educated people are reproducing at higher rates than bright, successful ones." "I have four kids." "Yes." "My work will reverse mankind's inevitable demise by spreading the seeds of world class scientists, musicians, athletes." "You're nothing but a Nazi trying to engineer a master race." "He's a nut job." "A lot of researchers think he's Nobel prize material." "Who, the Dr. Mengele fan club?" "Almost everyone in genetic engineering." "His work in pre-implantation genetic diagnosis allows us to screen embryos for severe disorders like Tay-sachs, cystic fibrosis, down syndrome." "He's legit." "And controversial." "He just invented a technique for couples to select their own baby's sex." "And he's researching ways of manipulating inherited characteristics" " like height, eye color, intelligence..." " Making designer babies." "He can't do it yet." "But in our lifetime, wealthy couples are gonna be able to custom-order a baby." " And the couples who can't afford it?" " There'll be two races." "The enhanced and the average, driving a bigger wedge between the rich and the poor." "Looks like McManus' research is on ice." "What happened?" "His clinic's broke." "He makes hundreds of thousands selling genius sperm." "But his research is expensive." "It's a temporary setback." "Dr. Frankenstein had a backup plan." "What's that?" "April's life insurance policy naming you as the sole beneficiary." "$5 million?" "You just went from zero to rich faster than it takes to drive off a cliff." "How could I know April was gonna have a tragic accident?" "Well, she didn't." "You murdered her." "That's preposterous." "It's more like ingenious." "You recognize that?" "It's a chemical storage can." "We found it at the scene at April's car crash." "It's just like the one you use at your lab." "Know what else we found at your lab?" "Hydrogen peroxide." "Same concentrate that was used to clean up April's blood in her apartment." "Hundreds of labs use these things." "But I bet yours was the only one who took out an insurance policy on the one person who could blow the whistle on where you got your sperm." "She suckered you, too, didn't she?" "She blackmailed you so nobody would find out?" "That's why you were so broke." "And if your clinic closes down, you're not saving the world." "So you murdered her for the insurance money." "No." "I loved her." "Oh, so you were sleeping with her too." "That's disgusting." "She's my daughter." "I didn't kill her." "And I can prove it." "Who told you?" "Your father." "Mother always said never trust a man." "Where's the baby, April?" "It was stillborn." "You're a liar." "What, you didn't need it anymore, so you killed it?" "That's not a very nice thing to say to someone in mourning." "Cut the act, April!" "I'm sick of your crap." "You were my friend." "You promised to protect me." "When you were a rape victim, not a rapist." "You sexually assaulted three dozen men." "Really?" " Did they tell you I assaulted them?" " We've got you on extortion and fraud." "Not to mention ripping off childless couples." "And extorting half a million dollars from Barclay Pallister." "It was a settlement." "There's nothing illegal about being paid for my pain and suffering." "Faking your own murder for the insurance money is." "Gotta hand it to you." "Smearing your own blood on the walls?" " That was good." " You have a sick imagination." "On my best day, I couldn't make this stuff up." "I'm the victim here." "None of this is my fault." "April Troost, you are under arrest for fraud." "You have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can..." "You're only charging April with fraud and extortion?" "She's a walking crime spree." "My hands are tied." "Three dozen of her victims don't even have a memory of being raped." "What about the baby?" "No hospitals in the tri-state area even have a record that she delivered one." "Casey, trust me, she did." "And then she sold it or she drowned it or who knows." "But that evil bitch did something terrible with that baby." "You know, for all we know, it really was stillborn," " and that's not a crime." " No, it's a con!" "April has been scamming us since day one." "She never had any intention of jumping off that ledge." "She played you, so now you're pissed." "Yes, I'm pissed." "But we still have to find that baby." "Not to mention ruining Barclay Pallister's life." "That's not our fault." "That's April's." "And knowing her, she will find someone else to blame." "Her mother." "April was raised without any moral values whatsoever." "So she's a sociopath." "April's well aware of right and wrong, but she believes the law doesn't apply to her." "That's how she was brought up." "My mother told me that storks bring babies and that Santa came down the chimney." "But you know what, you grow up and you realize that some of the things your parents told you aren't true." "Not if you're brainwashed." "April Troost is like a suicide bomber, indoctrinated from birth." "She lives her life by the lies her mother told her." "Ignorance of the law is no defense." "Mental defect is." "Your shrink will agree, April wasn't responsible for her actions." "Mother had me running scams from the day I was born." "I saved her thousands in hospital bills." "She conned her doctor?" "She took him for everything he had." "He was husband number two." "Do you find tricking people amusing?" "Absolutely." "Mother always said if you're too stupid to see the wool being pulled over your eyes, you deserve what you get." "So it's okay to rip people off, to break the law?" "I know there are rules." "But they don't apply to me." " How did that go over in school?" " I didn't go to school." "Mother didn't want me picking up any bad habits." " Like what?" " Feeling sorry for people." "What mother called "getting soft."" "She taught me to stay alert." " Be on the lookout." " For what?" "There are always people who want to take advantage of me." "That's why I have to take advantage of them first." "Survival of the fittest." "Screw or get screwed." "Mother drilled that into me." "She taught me everything she knew about people." "Men in particular." "She went through six husbands and their fortunes." "What about your father, Dr. McManus?" "Husband number one." "She left him right after I was born." "He was brilliant but broke." "I didn't meet him until a year ago." "He was thrilled to find the daughter he never knew." "And how did you feel?" "It was the opportunity of a lifetime." "I needed a job, and he paid me well to bring him the best genetic material." "Barclay Pallister." "April, don't you think that he deserves to know where his baby is?" "Only if I get a sweet deal." "Why should you get a break?" "I'm too beautiful for prison." "I had no idea how sick she really is." "April fooled everybody." "She's quite an actress." "I bailed her out, and this is the thanks I get." "All of her problems are my fault." "Can she do this?" "Can she tell all these lies in court?" "I can make sure the jury hears the truth." " You can testify." " No." "Let her say what she wants about me." "I'm on my way back to Florida tonight." "Hi, mom." "How could you do this to your own mother?" "Oh, some mother." "You led the cops right to my safe deposit box." "Too bad the money wasn't there." "This is not about the money." "Just tell them where the baby is." "Are you kidding?" "I'm through with you." "No way I'm letting April walk." "Well, if we don't give her some kind of plea, we may never find the baby." "How do we know it's alive?" "I'm sure of it." "It's her only bargaining chip." "We checked out all the couples who had contracts to buy April's baby." "None of them have the child." "Hotel clerk says she checked in alone." "She was not pregnant." "There are no leads off her LUDs." "That baby could be anywhere." "Black market in newborns?" "That's booming." "She's a cold-hearted bitch." "But is she crazy?" "No." "She's amoral." "She knows what she's doing is wrong." "The jury will see it as just another con job." "Take her to trial, you're never gonna find the kid." "Wherever the baby is, it's better off than being with April." "Unless she sold the kid to a pedophile." "You have to find my baby." "Mr. Pallister." "You must make April tell you where the baby is." "She won't." "Unless we let her off, and I can't do that." "You have to." "She's a dangerous woman." "You owe me." "Do we have any other leverage on her?" "Rikers Island Tuesday, March 29" "You're wrong about April." "She's a sweet girl." "If anyone's to blame, it's her mother." "I never should've chosen Lorraine." "For what?" "My first experiment." "I was looking for the perfect woman." "Bright, beautiful, accomplished." "Lorraine was ideal." "I married her, and we had April." "She was a beautiful baby." "Smart." "170 IQ." "Great, but what happened to your experiment?" "I thought I'd picked the ultimate mate, but Lorraine wanted to be rich." "I wasn't." "I didn't see April till she found me last year." "I was just so happy to have my daughter back." "Your daughter's using you to scam rich and powerful men." "She meant no harm." "She was just trying to help me." "By claiming Barclay Pallister raped her and then having his child to prove it?" "She knew it was wrong." "And she came to me." "And she said that she had to die to fix this mess she made." "Right, and you'd collect on her insurance." "No, no, I was, I was gonna give April all the money so she and the baby could start a new life." "Except that new life doesn't include the baby." " What do you mean?" " April doesn't have the child." "And she won't tell us where it is." "She'll tell me." "April, you're confused." "You're not thinking about what's best for the baby." "I'm not confused." "I'm thinking about what's best for me." " No one else will." " I will." "Yeah, right." "They offer you a deal if you got me to give up the kid?" "No, I'm just trying to help you." "Why?" "I'm your father." "I love you, April." "Love is for suckers." "That baby's my ticket out of here." "I want my deal." "I can't give you one." "Well, then I can't give you my baby." "Please." "Take this baby away from her before she destroys it." "Fine, you have your deal." "No jail." "Now, where's the baby?" "Nice doing business with you." " Novak let you off, didn't she?" " Yeah." "I'm glad." "Why?" "Because you don't deserve to be a mother." "And I'm gonna make sure that you never see that child again." "Good." "Maybe the kid'll have a chance." "You poor thing." "They stole your purse at the funeral?" "Yes." "My credit cards, my ID, my cash." "My daughter is dead, and I just want to get my grandbaby back to Florida." "Well, here's a voucher for a train ticket to Miami." " Thank you." " You're not going anywhere." "Detectives." "Oh, man, you are a piece of work." "Just curious." "How did you track me down?" "Your daughter gave you up." "You two have been working together all along." "That was quite a performance you gave at our squadroom." "Well, that's my girl." "I taught her everything she knows." "Well, you won't be teaching that child a damn thing." "I can't prove that you broke the law this time but, lady..." "I am gonna get you." "Olivia." "How's the baby?" "Sarah's fine." "Not that April or her mother give a damn." "I bet you they're in a bar right now laughing at us." " Let it go." " I can't." "They scammed everyone, and we just let them walk." " We got the baby." " I know." "But we haven't seen the last of them." "They will never stop playing their sick games." "Okay, she's medically cleared." "You can take her." "Hi." "Liv, you gotta stop beating yourself up." "The baby matters more." "Now she'll bloved." "I was up all night preparing her room." "Because Sarah deserves the best." "Well, she's certainly got it." " You take care." " Thank you." "I hear April's IQ is 170." "That's what Dr. McManus says, yeah." "Yes, I've read up on him." "He's brilliant." "And she has good genes on my side, too." "She's perfect."

" Didn't I tell you it was great?" " Yeah you also said the style was Victor-Victorian so I didn't have a lot of confidence." "But this place is unbelievable." "It's a great price." "Doesn't need a lot of work." "And really...this is an up and coming gay hot spot?" "Oh, please." "This place is so gay, the town bird is a condom." "Heh heh.." "Well, Jack you did great." "This house is fit for a queen." "Who knew there was an undiscovered jewel like this in upstate New York?" "You--you should buy it." "Guess what?" "I already did!" "You did?" "I can't believe it." "I'm kinda jealous." "I wish I'd gone in on it with you." "Guess what?" "You already did!" " What?" " Yeah." "Remember that money we set aside for our Fire Island share this summer?" "You mean where I put in $15,000 and you put in $6 dollars?" "Put her there, partner." " So your aunt didn't die?" " Oh, she did." "She's just dirt poor." "This is just the kind ofstupid, impulsive" "Oh, my God, I am totally taking my Christmas card picture in front of this fireplace!" "This is so exciting!" "We've discovered the new gay getaway." "It's like Key West before the first frozen drink washed ashore." "(Ç÷θ®´ÙÀÇ ÈÞ¾çÁö)" "Oh, look." "We're even featured in this month's Details, the official magazine of guys who haven't come out yet." ""Real estate insidersare buzzing--"" "I love buzzing." "I've always wanted to be someplace that was buzzing." ""The little hamlet where sophisticated urbanites are flocking."" "Sophisticated urbanites." "What a fun way to say "gay"!" "You know they probably wouldn't ban it if it was called 'sophisticated urbanite marriage'" ""If you haven't heard of Middleborough, New Hampshire, you soon will."" "Middleborough, New York." "I'm not an idiot." "I think I know how to read It says "Middleborough, New Hampshire."" "Well, that's great. 'Cause we just bought a house in Middleborough, New York!" "Oh!" "Honey, look at this place!" "All ready for the little ones." "I had so much fun buying all these kids' toys." "And you don't have to wear sunglasses like when you buy adult toys." "oh honey, good thinking putting out all this crappy furniture so that the kids can't ruin the good stuff" "Oh, I'm so excited about being a mom for a day." "Oh, honey, they're gonna have a ball with you." "And look what I brought!" "Juice boxes!" "Huh?" "Okay, Karen, for the last time, wine is not juice." "And a leather whipis not a jump rope" "Made you jump." "Oh, it's that new client." "He's always so flirtatious with me." "Hi, Eric." "No, you're not bothering me at all." "I just got out of the shower just wearing a towel." "No, no, I'm sorry, I can't meet you." "I'm babysitting for some friends." "Okay, bye-bye." "Oh, my towel just fell." "Listen, honey, if you need to start your new job, I could look after the kids for you." "Yeah, um, I don't think that Ellen, or the State of New York, would be comfortable with you watching her children." "What are you saying, Grace?" "Are you implying thatI'm irresponsible?" "Are you implying that you've never heard that before?" "I raised two step-children on my own." "Karen, you havea staff of over 30." "Including one who looks exactly like you in case one of the kids wants a hug from "Mom" in the middle of the night." "Honey, that's not fair." "I loved those kids." "And so did Karen II!" "Why are you getting so upset?" "Maybe because you're accusing me of being a bad mother, and saying that I can't be trusted around children." "Children of people that we barely like I might add." "I'm leaving and taking my juice boxes with me." "And this sippy cup." "So this placeisn't gay after all." "Well, it makes sense." "On the way in, we didn't see a single antique store, pilates studio, or a man who weighed less than 280 pounds." "Or a billboard warning against sexually transmitted diseases." "Who is it?" "It's townspeople." "It looks like the cast of "Rosanne." (ÇÏÃþ¹ÎÀ" ´Ù·é ½ÃÆ®ÄÞ)" "Well... guess youbetter let 'em in." "Hello." "You the guyswho bought the place?" " Uh, yes, but we're not planning on" " But you're gay, right?" "No." "Actuallymy father and I.." "we're just about to go trolling around town for smart, attractive ladies." "Hellooo!" "You sure you're not gay?" "And before you answer, we've been to San Francisco." "Well, we haven't." "And I certainly have not marched nude in their gay pride parade." "Twice." "So you're not gay?" "Aw, crapI got my hopes up for nothing" " Wait, you--you want us to be gay?" " Well, sure." "When the gays come, the property values shoot up." "And they fill the place with cute restaurants and adorable shops." "Well, I never thoughtI'd say this, but, um, good news, small town families!" "We are gay!" "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "Oh, man, we are gonna make you feel so welcome here." "Hey, there's real good chanceour son Jason's gay" " Dad, I'm not gay." " Hey, you wanna go to college?" "You're gay." "And Native American" "Well, I hate to break it to you, plain folk, but, um, we're not staying." "Yeah, we really-- we thought we were buying a house in the other Middleborough." "But my friend here, well, he's made of straw." "Well, this sucks!" "So you're telling me there's nothing we can say to make you change your mind?" "Sorry." "Okay, but some people might not take kindly to gays moving out of the neighborhood." "Well, Are you threatening us?" "Let's just sayyou've been warned." "Will, I'm frightened." "I've never feltso welcome in my life." "Relax, Jack, I mean, really, what's gonna happen?" "Oh, my God!" "Somebody threw a brick through our window." "No..." "They threw a loafof banana bread." "And there's a note:" ""Gays, don't go home." " P.S. Enjoy the jam."" " What jam?" "Jack, now's our chanceIt's 8:05." "Everyone here is straight, so they're obviously watching "Cold Case."" "Let's sneak out to the car." "God, I'm so nervous." "In the last ten minutes I've used the half bath three times." "Jack, these people mean business." "Four teenagers drove by and egged our house." "Well, they left a quicheon the front porch." "Hurry up, Jack." "Before the high school band marches by again playing "We Are Family." (°ÔÀÌ ÇÁ¶óÀ̵å ÁÖÁ¦°î)" "Damn." "The one time I leave the house without my giant papier mach?" "head." "There they are!" "Let's go!" "Oh, my GodWhere are the keys?" " I thought you had them!" " I thought you had them." "Quick, Bobgrab the tiramisu!" "Oh, my God, retreat!" "Retreat!" "Hey, Karen." " I'm glad you're here." " Well," "I suppose you'vecome to apologize" "Okay, um..." "There was a situation that happened between us." "And as a result of that situation, you were upset." "For that, I'm sorry." "Okay." "You know what I'm not hearing?" "An actual apology... and a decent Rolling Stones song since 1973." "Look, Karen, I'm sorry, but taking care of children is a huge responsibility." "It's more "Tickle Me Elmo"" "and less "Let's fill Elmo up with drugs and smuggle him across the border."" " Hi, guys." " Oh, Ellen, hi!" "What are you doing here?" "Hey, I wantedto bring you this." "It's little Roman's DVD, Barney and Friends at the Park." "Oh, okay, I just gotta make sure I don't mix this up with" "Will's DVD, Bernieand Friends at the Gym" "Yeah." "Just have Will put it in after Roman wakes from his nap." "Well, Will's out of town, but I'll remember." " Oh, uh, Will's not gonna be there?" " No." "Oh." "Is that a problem?" "You know what I just realized?" "Rob's sister can probably do it." "She lives closer to us anyway." "Judy?" "The one who has to turn the lights on 14 times or the oceans will dry up?" "Ellen, why would you leave your kids with someone who has such an important job?" "Ellen, what's going on?" "Um, well, I assumed that you and Will would be watching them together." "And uh.." " well..." " Well what?" "You don't think I'm responsible enough to take care of your children on my own?" "Oh-ho." "This is so delicious, it's got to be fattening." "Rob's sister willjust be easier" "Oh." "Okay, um... if you don't want me watching your kids then I guess there's really nothing else to say." "Excuse me" "Wow." " Heh." "Well, I guess I better go." " Hey, hey, Ellen." "You shouldbe ashamed of yourself" "And not just because you're dressed like an audience member from 'The Price is Right'" "Uh, excuse methis is Ann Taylor LOFT" "Yeah, and I'll bet when you walked down the street they all loft." " You know what?" "I'm leaving." " No, you're not." "Listen, you're wrong about Grace." "She's one ofthe kindest, most caring and most responsible people that I have ever met." "She spent hours transforming her crappy apartment into an even crappier one so that your kids could have a good time." "And she was so worried about their health, she wouldn't even let them have any juice!" "Your kids would be lucky to spend time with someone like Grace." "She's got a heartas big as her nose" "If you can't see that, then.." "you should get your eyes fixed instead of that freak show under your shirt." "What are theydoing out there?" "I can't be sure, but I think it's the second act of Pippin." "Why aren't you peoplewatching "Cold Case"?" "!" " Come on, Jack, let's try the back door." " Will Truman!" "Coming on to meat a time like this!" "Oh, for God's sake, come on!" "They're forcing their way in and they've got torches!" "Actually, they'rescented candles." "They make wonderful accents." "There's my college boy." "Look, we're--we're not the kind of gays you want." "We're not pioneers, we're... we're lazy gays." "The lazy, hazycrazy gays of summer." "We wanna move someplace where somebody else has already done the work." "Our kind of gay couldn't survive here." "You need heartier stock." "We can't wait for pioneer gays!" "It took us 20 years to get you!" " No, you're stayin'!" " You don't need us." "You can fix up this town and make it fabulous all on your own!" "You just need a few design accents." "Look, it's easy!" "Look at how I upgraded the bathroom in just half an hour." "Come here." "I found hand towels that matched the tile." "I put out a bowl of potpourri." "And I smooth-coated the stucco to create a kind of Moroccan" "Let's get the hellout of here!" "But I wantedto see the bathroom!" "Ah, Smitty." "I'm feeling a little down." "A friend told me that she didn'tthink I would be a good mother" "Well, my own mother was shot dead in front of me by her boyfriendwhen I was twelve" "And I've been haunted ever since, wondering if I could have saved her." "That's funny" "I am telling you." "You have got to start writing these down." "Get out of hereyou crazy" "Hi, Karen." "Ellen apologized." "She told me what you said." "Thank you." "I just told hereverything that I believe" "Well, not everything." "I didn't tell her that I think that Robin Williams shinesin dramatic roles" "Oh, thank goodness." "I never would've seen those kids again." "Look, I am so sorry for what I said about you, I was wrong." "You would be greatwith those kids" "I don't know, honey." "I think maybe you were right." "No." "Granted, you're not what I would call a traditional mom." "But when the chips are down, you come through." "Even though you were angry with me, you still stood up for me." "If that's not being a mother, I don't know what is." "Really, honey?" " Do you mean that?" " Sure." "And why not?" "You're already a good stepmother." "I do love those girls" "Mason's a boy." "Oh, of course." "Young ladies now." "Á¶°ÇºÎ ¹èÆ÷ / ¼öÁ¤ ±ÝÁö ¹èÆ÷½Ã ÀÚ¸· Ãâó¸¦ ²À ¹àÇô ÁÖ¼¼¿ä"

"Even if it's just one step, I'm afraid I can't just walk away" "Thank you." "Even if it's just one step, I'm afraid I can't just walk away." "Hey." "Even if it's just one step, I'm afraid I can't just walk away." "Please be sure to bring Yi Kyung back." "Please bring Yi Kyung back." "You must bring Yi Kyung back." "Even one step."

"Even if it's just one step, I'm afraid I can't just walk away." "Even one step." "Miss Song Yi Kyung." "I'm sorry if I startled you." "I came because I need to ask you something urgent." "My name is Han Kang." "How did you...?" "I saw you getting in the taxi in front of your house." "There is someone that I must find." "Only Ms. Yi Kyung ..." "I don't know how to explain this..." "I can find this person only when you are around." "I know." "Excuse me?" "I know what you are saying and who you are looking for." "You're saying you know?" "How?" "She's not here." "She didn't come with me." "Then, where is she?" "I don't know." "It's because of her that I'm leaving." "You can't." "Without Ms. Song Yi Kyung, Ji Hyun won't be able to live." "I won't be able to find her and she won't be able to find me either." "You know that too, right?" "You are really a strange person." "Why would I lend my body to a ghost so that she can live?" "I was wrong, Unni." "I am sorry for getting mad at you." "It's because I really..." "I really want to live, that's why." "Just for ten more days, just help me for ten days, that's all I need." "If Unnie doesn't help me," "I can't do anything at all." "I can't just die like this." "What's wrong?" "Could it be that..." "Ji Hyun came?" "Did Ji Hyun come?" "Even though I might die in ten days." "Ten days." "Just for ten days." "Because... perhaps I might be able to live." "If you don't want to give me ten days, then just even one day." "Please let me see my mom and dad one more time." "Let me be able to say the words that I want to say to this friend for once." "Please.." "There's a man who's always following her." "Why does she live that way?" "A man?" "After she left, some guy came looking for her and was in a frenzy." "Are you sure they didn't meet?" "She left to catch the train." "But when are you planning to move in?" "I will take care of things here, so please leave." "I understand." "So, you can see my friend, and you can hear everything she says, too?" "No, I couldn't before..." "But today..." "I can." "You must have been very frightened." "No." "All this time... some of your friend's feelings and memories... have stayed with me." "I know her situation..." "So I understand to some extent." "You're saying that you shared Ji Hyun's memories?" "Not everything." "But if Min Ho finds out that you didn't go to Busan," "He might come and look for you again." "Are you sure it is alright to go home?" "Since he even forced you out of your house." "Please find out the details from your friend later." "How is Ji Hyun now?" "Is she okay?" "Please tell him I am alright." "She said she is fine." "Congratulations for returning safely." "My relationship with this Unni has been discovered by Kang." "What should I do from now on?" "Just carry on like in the past." "Well, it's a good thing that this friend knows." "But this unni, she can see me and can hear my voice." "Things like this can happen sometimes." "When a soul matches the body." "Because she's pure." "Don't stay out in the daylight too long, your resistance to sunlight has diminished." "I'll tell you the rest later." "Since you're shaking, you can't stay here anymore." "You're Ms. Ji Hyun, right?" "You don't need to be formal with me." "First, I want to apologize... because of me, you were in an accident." "I was the one who wanted to die." "I was too hasty." "It wasn't just Unni's fault." "If I didn't try to get my phone... and unbuckled the seat belt, things wouldn't have turned out this way." "So... is that why you came to me?" "Absolutely not!" "Although I can't tell you every detail..." "I was sent to you." "You said ten days, right?" "Ji Hyun's remaining time." "Yes." "In my mind, I owe you a debt for your sake, Ji Hyun" "I let you use it for 10 days." "For my sake?" "What are they talking about this long?" "You've waited long, haven't you?" "It's really great to see you." "Same here." "No need for honorifics." "Song, didn't we agree to drop the formalities?" "I want it to be just like before." "If I get too comfortable it'll be easier to make mistakes." "Fine, let's do it your way." "Instead, let's shake hands." "Thank you!" "What do you plan to do?" "I have to do something at home today." "I'll go to the restaurant tomorrow." "Are you planning to stay here?" "Yes." "Alright." "Today, you must be tired." "I will meet the landlady to resolve the housing issue." "You should rest, okay?" "No, you don't have to do that." "I can take care of it." "Just go, okay?" "How are you going to resolve it?" "Hurry up and go." "Go in first." "I want to watch you leave, that's why." "You must call me tomorrow morning." "Because I will come to pick you up." "?" "Saying I love you ?" "?" "are words my heart has always shouted ?" "?" "Saying I love you ?" "?" "are words I've repeated behind you ?" "Thank you, Kang." "Thank you, Kang." "Thank you, Kang." "?" "I love you ?" "?" "Saying I love you ?" "?" "Are words I couldn't say, afraid that you'd run away ?" "?" "I love you so much that I'm afraid ?" "?" "I love you ?" "You're here!" "It's like this..." "Unni right," "I know." "You know?" "So can I do just as Unni said?" "You may defer to the host body's wishes." "So this relationship won't harm the host body?" "Yes, right." "You are the provider of the relationship the body." "Don't just go in carelessly." "No, it's not like that." "Don't cause trouble." "Get through the 49 days journey." "Then I can finally end my five year term and achieve my wish." "Would I be worried only about Yi Kyung?" "You know how grateful I am to you, because you brought Yi Kyung back?" "Yes, right." "Whether I die or not in 10 days doesn't matter, right?" "It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm not interested." "Love won't disappear after one's death!" "In that case..." "I can do what Unni said, right?" "With a grateful heart, then you can buy some beef." "Hey, I can't pay for anything more than 50,000 won." "Unni doesn't have any condiments that's why I'm buying these!" "What's this?" "I'm not a kid anymore." "Take it back." "No, I don't want to." "Let's just eat today, okay?" "What's wrong with you?" "I'm Shin Ji Hyun." "Ahh... really!" "This senior." "They are really testing my patience, that's for sure!" "That's right." "Shin Ji Hyun, even though you're in love with Han Kang," "Physical contact with Yi Kyung's body is absolutely forbidden!" "Even a handshake is too much." "What's with that expression?" "Do you want to do it?" "Isn't it alright if I get Unni's permission?" "Permission?" "Living with Unni here, the thing I wanted to do most for you was to cook a meal for you." "even though it's a waste, I threw away all the instant noodles." "Thank you so much for today." "Also try the spinach." "The soup is a little salty, right?" "It's all right." "Eat like you haven't eaten in a while." "I've been so used to eating with Unnie's mouth." "These side dishes, I learned how to make them from Song Yi Soo." "Please don't be startled." "The last time, you talked about Yi Soo as well." "How do you know Yi Soo?" "That person has waited 5 years just to meet you, unnie." "What do you mean by that?" "Yi Soo died 5 years ago." "It may not be clear to you and those who are alive, like me in front of you, there are many things in this world that are unexplainable." "Unni pretending to love eating spinach, just because Song Yi Soo liked to eat that." "Sausage is unni's favourite, but unni didn't buy them because it was too expensive, so that person pretends to love eating it." "Okay, I know." "We went to school while earning our living expenses and tuition." "Yi Soo hardly slept, to earn money for my tuition." "He always came and brought lunch with him." "Song Yi Soo, do you really have to be like this?" "I said I will bring lunch." "You want to be in the school kitchen making food so that those guys can stare at you?" "You should've slept a little instead of making lunch." "Sleep?" "When I die, I can sleep forever." "Then quit working in the club." "Next semester, my scholarship begins." "Until I can make money for our rent, I can't quit." "And I get tips." "There's no other position, I tell you." "I can also learn to play the guitar from the band hyungs." "Then, if you collapse from lack of sleep, what should I do?" "I won't collapse." "Don't you know who I am?" "I am Song Yi Soo!" "It's delicious!" "Did you really see Yi Soo?" "Unni, the photo that you saw was taken without Yi Soo's knowledge." "He really didn't know." "Because of music, you two argued." "?" "You are breathing ?" "Unni, I can only tell you this much..." "Unni, I can only tell you this..." "Unni, I can only tell you this much." "?" "You are alive in my heart. ?" "Unni, I can only tell you this much... ?" "You are living in my heart ?" "When you meet Song Yi Soo in the future, he will tell you himself." "Hear the rest from Yi Soo." "Can I really meet Yi Soo?" "Will I really be able to meet Yi Soo?" "?" "Heart is beating ?" "Can I really meet Yi Soo?" "Although I don't know exactly when," "Thought I don't know when exactly, ?" "You are walking in my heart ?" "?" "You are walking in my heart ?" "It's not that far." "?" "You are walking in my heart ?" "It's not that far." "Until then, that person can't meet you." "But, that day will soon come." "That person can't appear in front of Unni until then," "?" "Since the day you came to me, I was longing ?" "So please wait a little while longer." "?" "Since the day you came to me, I was longing ?" "?" "You're calling me. ?" "?" "Tears are falling again ?" "?" "Painful tears are flowing ?" "?" "My heart hurts, it hurts because of you. ?" "?" "On the day that I miss you ?" "?" "On the day that I miss you so much ?" "?" "I want to see you ?" "?" "So tears are falling again ?" "Song Yi Kyung didn't leave?" "That's impossible." "I even confirmed it myself." "I even saw Kang, outside her house." "What?" "So, you went halfway and then came back?" "I did not think that she would follow me." "So I turned around." "Are you sure that the soul wouldn't follow you forever?" "She wasn't able to come back with me." "It's regretful that you didn't leave." "It is fortunate that you can continue working as before." "Can I have a word with Song Yi Kyung?" "Ms. Yi Kyung, when you get off work, please come to the hospital." "Please go back safely." "What happened?" "I left that woman and came back." "Because she followed me onto the train." "On the train?" "She can do that even without borrowing your body?" "Are you able to see her spirit now?" "Even if I can't see it, I can feel it." "So Ji Hyun left and you came back." "How can I believe that?" "From tomorrow on, I will be working," "Come and confirm it at night." "Where are you working during the day?" "At Heaven." "Ah..." "Kang's restaurant." "Kang asked you to work there?" "He probably thinks that it's Shin Ji Hyun who is continuing to work there." "Song Yi Kyung." "Because I was working and sleeping during the day, that woman was able to borrow my body." "Now that I'm afraid, I can't work at night anymore." "So you're saying you'll pretend to be Shin Ji Hyun?" "It's Han Kang, right?" "That president's name." "That person won't be able to confirm for sure, if Shin Ji Hyun has entered my body or not." "Because that woman can't enter my body anymore." "Shin Ji Hyun, do you think I am an idiot?" "Just because you said it, you think I'd believe you like that?" "Do I look like Shin Ji Hyun to you now?" "Anyway, sharing a body, also gives me lots of memories." "Even if that is the case," "It still doesn't make sense!" "You don't have to work during the day at HEAVEN, do you?" "This ... is this what you want me to believe?" "Why must I make you believe me?" "That woman used my body without my permission." "Because you know I went through this experience?" "As I need a job immediately," "Even if I'm pretending to be Shin Ji Hyun..." "You can just go to the pension I referred you to." "Who are you to tell me where to go or not?" "I didn't leave because I was afraid of you." "I left because I was afraid of Shin Ji Hyun." "You were afraid of Ji Hyun?" "Shin Ji Hyun's traffic accident," "I was the cause of it." "She resented me and got angry." "I was so afraid." "But even you came and threatened me." "It wasn't easy to leave, Shin Ji Hyun tried to trap me again." "She saw the memo with the pension's address." "So I left her and came back." "If you are suspicious, then confirm it yourself." "If you want to find Shin Ji Hyun, you go find her yourself." "Please return my room as well!" "Also, don't ever threaten me to leave again." "Ji Hyun was pretending to be you." "What do you mean?" "You're both so similar." "That gaze... that was yours." "Ah, it's really scary!" "I didn't ask her for this favour." "It was Unni's idea." "Of course!" "Can an idea like that come from your brain?" "For a matter like this, I can know for sure." "Kang Min Ho, really fell for it!" "Miss Song Yi Kyung really said she would help?" "That is a real relief." "Even so, I'm still worried!" "If we get caught, we don't know what he would do." "Ji Hyun's father will soon get discharged." "Then we can talk to him about Director Kang." "Who could it be at this hour?" "Hello." "Yes, father." "You have inquired about JC Consulting?" "Yes." "I will confirm by e-mail." "Thank you." "Why?" "What's the matter?" "I just... thanked my father." "Why feel guilty?" "Of course it should be that way." "Because of asking for a favor, then the son should be thankful." "JC, Consulting, is not a regular company." "Yes, Senior." "What is the matter at this hour?" "=Shin Estate, Bankruptcy=" "No, how did this bill suddenly appear?" "Today's amount has already been paid off." "But tomorrow's amount is too much, we can't do anything." "What is department head Kang doing?" "He's pooling money but there hasn't been any contact yet." "The seal?" "What's the seal for?" "During the contract signing, it was used to sell Ji Hyun's land." "It was used for the construction of Haemido." "Time remaining : 9 days, 4 hours, 29 minutes." "Song..." "Song Yi Kyung." "It's Kang." "What to do?" "What to do?" "The house smells!" "Wait a minute!" "I'm sorry to startle you, but, there is an urgent matter I need to tell you." "What happened?" "Song, listen and don't be scared." "I know Ji Hyun asked you to take care of this seal." "Right?" "However, Ji Hyun's father's company now has an urgent need for this." "They need your help." "Bankruptcy?" "Dad." "With your help we can stop it." "What should I do?" "What do I need to do?" "I can't even tell Ji Hyun's dad." "I've already asked around, but, there's a 90% chance that I won't be able to get enough money." "That's what I want to tell you." "There is a way to prevent bankcruptcy, auntie." "A way to prevent the bankruptcy?" "That day when Ji Hyun got into an accident, she passed her seal to me." "What are you talking about?" "Why would Ji Hyun give her seal to you?" "With Ji Hyun's land you can get a secured loan." "You can stop the bankruptcy." "However, you can't let Min Ho hyung and people from the company know about it." "What do you mean by that?" "Ji Hyun can secure a loan with this." "You can't tell anyone, alright?" "I understand, madam." "You have to get enough the day after tomorrow." "You know this, right?" "If you start today, then it will be taken care of the day after tomorrow." "I've followed her for three days and nights." "She leaves for work at Heaven in the morning." "After work, she goes home and stays inside all the time." "Looks like Song Yi Kyung was telling the truth." "If I don't check up on her again today," "I'll get Miss In Jung's luggage, okay?" "Things will go as planned today, right?" "Hello, Director Cheng." "What do you mean they prevented the sale?" "This can't be possible." "To round up close to 40 Billion Won..." "How did Ji Hyun's mother get it?" "Where was that borrowed from?" "How did Ji Hyun's mother get that much?" "It's a relief, auntie." "I didn't really do much." "I've been investigating a couple of documents that I'll be showing to uncle." "Okay, be careful on the way." "How did it go?" "The sale was prevented." "Physical contact using Yi Kyung's body is absolutely forbidden!" "You did it!" "Thank you!" "Alright, I understand, Song Yi Kyung noona." "(noona - term used by men for older women)." "Instead, what is noona going to give me?" "You're thankful to me, but you can't show it through a hug." "So never mind that." "What do you plan to do?" "Why are you suddenly like this?" "You said you're my noona by a year?" "Song Yi Kyung Noona!" "You think I want to be your noona?" "To a person who's more of an Oppa than Oppa?" "Even if I want to say something, I can't say it." "Even if I've seen you," "I can't even acknowledge it." "When this is Song Yi Kyung." "What can I do?" "I am sorry." "Forget it!" "Zip it, okay..." "I understand." "I understand it now," "I also saw it all." "You can stop now." "You came to the coffee shop last time, right?" "Come in." "Have a search around." "You came to look for a woman called Shin Ji Hyun?" "What is it that you want from us?" "It's not right to speak so informally to strangers." "I already know that Shin Ji Hyun put a stop to the trade matters." "By any chance, is the seal with you?" "What is it?" "And why?" "Everybody has been wondering whether I'm Shin Ji Hyun or Song Yi Kyung." "Are you guilty of many wrong doings?" "You know what type of person Kang Min Ho is." "By preventing the bankruptcy... do you think it'll end it?" "What exactly do you want?" "Shin Ji Hyun, what are you going to do, when you and Song Yi Kyung knew our plans?" "Why didn't you say anything when you knew everything?" "Do you want to seek revenge from us?" "Don't be like this." "What exactly do you want?" "Say it out!" "If I am Shin Ji Hyun, then I'll surely haunt Shin In Jung for life." "Why would you think that she can definitely only use Song Yi Kyung's body?" "She can enter someone else's body." "Even without a body... she can still wander around as a spirit." "And, if Shin Ji Hyun comes back again, it's probably because of Shin In Jung." "So, during the time while I was in the ICU, the company was at risk of bankruptcy, but it was prevented in a timely manner?" "Or at least it was properly prevented?" "You don't need to worry about it now." "Father-in-law." "HM development cooperation company, how did you find about the JC Consultancy company?" "We've had a long term working relationship." "I Was introduced by the manager of a securities branch company, why?" "I don't know, can you give me his name?" "Why are you asking about that?" "Jin Young has been keeping watch for 3 days 2 nights." "Only Song Yi Kyung has been going in and out." "Song Yi Kyung could be possessed by Shin Ji Hyun." "Then it's Ji Hyun for sure." "Do you think I can't tell Song Yi Kyung and Shin Ji Hyun apart?" "I thought you couldn't tell." "It was obvious you couldn't." "You fell in love with Ji Hyun without knowing it was her." "The person I like is not Ji Hyun." "I don't want to blame Oppa for that." "I am afraid we can't see Ji Hyun, but Ji Hyun can see us." "Isn't that scary?" "Even like this, she was able to find the seal before us, and prevent the bankruptcy." "It must be Ji Hyun!" "Also, there were definitely many things we didn't plan." "What do you mean by that?" "The bank note was used from Ji Hyun's land to get the loan." "Why did you only tell me this now!" "Seo Woo!" "Seo Woo!" "There's a for rent sign outside our home." "What is this all about?" "It's not our home, it's MY home." "It was bought using your money." "I won't even take a toothpick with me!" "What do you mean by that?" "Because I'm scared, I can't live with you and I'm running away." "The bankrupcy of Ji Hyun's family's company." "I heard both of you did it." "From this moment onwards, you and I are finished." "I know I did something horrible." "You know you did something wrong?" "It's not like I haven't regretted it!" "I have regretted it many times!" "This is not good." "No matter how fast you regret it, it's still too late." "There's no way I could stop Oppa!" "It was me." "I tricked Oppa first." "When it was hard and lonely living in Seoul" "I met Min Ho Oppa." "It was love at first sight for both of us." "I liked him so much." "I didn't want to face him with my situation the way it was." "I told him that my father was Shin Il Shik." "Shin In Jung." "I complained to Ji Hyun's mom." "then the lies blended together." "Matters became too tangled to unravel." "As you like Kang as well." "Can't you understand my feelings?" "No matter how much you like a man," "I won't betray a friend just because I want to get the guy." "There's only the two of use left now, Seo Woo." "Although I can't stop Min Ho Oppa now, and Ji Hyun is also watching," "I won't be unprepared." "Won't be unprepared?" "That's not what I mean." "I also don't have a choice." "Then go live with your Kang Min Ho!" "Why don't you go to him, instead of staying here?" "In Jung is right." "Even if we prevented the bankruptcy, things won't come to an end." "I can't leave like this!" "Didn't you say you wanted to live?" "But you keep worrying only about your father's company." "That's because these matters are because of me." "If I could think in In Jung's position for just a bit," "If I understood people better," "I wouldn't have been fooled by Kang Min Ho." "My father and mother wouldn't be in such a mess." "To have parents, the feeling of having a family, this is what it's like." "Even in the face of death, one can't just be concerned for oneself." "I am sorry." "Han Kang," "Don't you think of that person?" "He's a very good man." "It looks like both of you like each other." "If it were me, if I knew my days were limited," "I would want to see that person's face even more." "To love him more." "To be good to him." "The more you give, the more you get." "The more you want, the more you want to live." "The more you pity." "That is why I am afraid." "I don't have any hope of being able to live." "It will only cause pain in Kang's heart." "Since you already moved out, where are you staying now?" "At a hoobae's place, for now." "The rest of my things are with the moving company." "Don't you feel uncomfortable?" "Is that the problem?" "Is convenience the issue?" "I can't live under the same roof and see her each day." "It's really fortunate that Ji Hyun has a friend like you." "Even if, it's for your sake, she should hurry up and wake up." "Han Kang, you... really like Ji Hyun very much." "If... if Ji Hyun becomes like what the doctor said, and will not wake up again," "How long will it take for you to look at other women?" "That..." "What do you mean?" "If there was another woman who likes you, how long does she need to wait?" "Song Yi Kyung's birthday is on November 8, 1984." "Your call cannot be made." "Your call cannot be made." "Your call cannot be made." "Did something happen to her?" "I need to go to her house and check." "Hey." "Try location tracking." "Ah..." "But can this function work even when the phone is switched off?" "010-491-4949, phone location is at" "Paradise Apartment, unit no. 703." "The house owner is Kang Min Ho." "People use anniversaries of people around them as passwords so they don't forget." "I asked for your mother's birth date." "A few birthday numbers." "January 10th," "5, 2" "0, 1, 1, 0" "Why is it empty?" "I'm sure the file was taken out from here." "Shin Ji Hyun," "You've fooled me quite well." "Do you still see me as Shin Ji Hyun?" "How can Song Yi Kyung enter my house and come out from my room?" "I told you already." "That I still have some of Shin Ji Hyun's memory." "I was curious why she always remembered this house." "Do you want me to tell you why I think you're Shin Ji Hyun?" "I am Song Yi Kyung," "Shin Ji Hyun would absolutely not like Kang Min Ho." "Just out of concern." "You've worked part-time at my house before, and also secretly came in several times." "What's the reason?" "I don't know why, but since you're in my house again," "it's proof that you're Shin Ji Hyun." "Because you're too pure, and can only think in your own position." "That person is you, Shin Ji Hyun." "But you loved that Shin Ji Hyun." "The one I love isn't Shin Ji Hyun!" "Then...is it me?" "Don't mess around." "If you loved her when she entered my body, then you're in love with Shin Ji Hyun." "However, you can't even recognize the woman that you loved?" "I'm also starting to go crazy." "I also don't know who I fell in love with." "I'm already going crazy." "Unni!" "I don't care how much you struggle." "The Shin family will go into bankruptcy and Haemido will be mine!" "I should at least get those, in return for driving me crazy." "Looks like you're still in love." "Come in!" "Who are these people?" "Is it her?" "It's strange." "There is no other soul." "What are you talking about?" "There isn't any.." "She is not possessed at the moment." "That's not possible." "Please do it again." "Let me look around the house." "Over here!" "Miss Song Yi Kyung." "Kang Min Ho!" "Miss Song Yi Kyung." "Keep quiet." "This is the police." "There has been a report of illegal detention." "Please let me take a look." "It's really the police." "I know you are inside!" "Quick, open the door." "Officer, something happened..." "Don't get angry." "The one who secretly came here was this woman." "I had something to get." "I didn't see any police." "What?" "Song, what exactly are you doing?" "Why are you so fearless?" "Who is this man..." "Why are you getting angry at my Yi Kyung?" "Why would you go to Min Ho Hyung's house?" "What did you want to do?" "I'm Song Yi Kyung." "Who doesn't know that you're Song Yi Kyung?" "I am sorry." "Your friend is just beside me." "What should I do?" "It's daytime, how can Miss Song Yi Kyung..." "Is it possible for both of you to go out together?" "It was me who suggested this." "If that was so, you should have told me earlier." "Did she have the chance to...?" "Why did you go to Min Ho Hyung's house?" "In his secret safety cabinet, there were some documents." "Secret safety cabinet?" "Now that Unni said it, I feel really relieved." "That was it." "That's why you were meeting with Min Ho hyung." "Sorry for not telling you." "Then, when you went in secretly, you were caught by Min Ho hyung?" "Oppa!" "What happened?" "Young said that Song Yi Kyung's body was not really possessed by Ji Hyun." "Is it true?" "She's playing around with me." "What is the meaning of this?" "Whether it's Song Yi Kyung or Shin Ji Hyun, they are both the same." "Who exactly... did I fall in love with?" "Recently, we have lots of company matters." "You've heard." "Although the impact of a large bankruptcy," "But related products, equipment replacement clearly do before." "Seafood Island fund also never come." "Looks like you have investigated thoroughly." "Min Ho..." "I am having strange thoughts." "Those are not strange thoughts." "What you are thinking now is correct," "President." "What?" "However, it's already too late." "I heard you did not find the seal." "In the end, that piece of land was what stopped the bankruptcy." "Is that all you can do?" "What are you going to do now?" "Only stumbled across strike seals." "Director Kang, you always talk with confidently, but you haven't done anything properly." "Our condition is to get Shin's company's ownership." "Although the order has changed," "I'll get Haemido island and then hand over Shin's company." "To go this far just for Haemido," "You definitely will not die peacefully." "Don't threaten me." "I will not die by anyone's hands." "Now, i absolutely won't let go Shin's company ownership." "Let's go." "Welcome, Miss Yi Kyung." "I changed all the bed cover and blankets." "You just have to rest comfortably." "Thank you!" "Hurry and put down your things then come down and eat." "I'll count on you." "Let's go." "Did Ji Hyun already come inside?" "I'm delivering her now." "Unni, I'm here." "She's here, on the sofa." "Shin Ji Hyun, are you alright?" "I'm sorry I caused trouble." "She says she's sorry for making you worry." "Kiddo, if you were going to do something like that, you should have let Yi Kyung tell me." "She didn't tell me anything about it either." "I am sorry." "Because of Ji Hyun, you're stuck here." "Let's eat first!" "I would not mind." "Come down." "I'll be waiting for you." "Are you alright?" "How did you get up here?" "I didn't see you though." "I have a guardian angel." "Hey!" "I'm the Angel of Death." "No!" "A Scheduler!" "Unni, hurry and and have your dinner." "This restaurant's pasta dishes are really good." "The pizza is also delicious." "Eat on my behalf!" "Min Ho hyung now knows everything, we have no choice other than to let you to stay here." "I hope you'll be comfortable living here." "You look familiar." "Until now, because of lots of things," "We haven't been able to say "hello" properly." "Really, thank you very much." "For giving Ji Hyun this chance, I really thank you." "Compare to Ji Hyun's matter," "I really wanted to die." "I wanted to abandon this life." "But there is someone who really want to live." "But, to be able to get to this point now," "I know how difficult it is." "Compared to my debt..." "I am just nobody..." "Debt?" "Ah, nothing." "It's nothing." "It's alright if you don't tell me anything." "Thank you for rescuing me from Kang Min Ho's house." "I didn't rescue you, you know!" "Although you went to rescue Song Yi Kyung Unni," "Thanks to her I can also live." "Thank you!" "If you want to thank me," "Make it possible for me to see Yi Kyung." "But then, you... won't you get a penalty?" "Regulations under the 49 day travelers' rules." "If a dangerous circumstance occurs, I'm allowed to go to help." "The Dispatcher only handles legal matters." "To recover memories, one day is like 1000 years." "Then won't you get a penalty again?" "But..." "Do I slowly lose my strength?" "It's not only just in the daytime." "It's because 49 days is almost over." "It will gradually become more serious." "You can't sleep because of anxiety?" "Unnie, you can't fall asleep?" "It's because of me who led you to this strange environment that you're like this right?" "No." "Recently, thanks to you I'm able to sleep well." "Want to get some fresh air together?" "I don't have the energy, I can't go out now." "Don't go too far, it's dangerous." "After today, there's 6 days left." "Time flies so fast." "It hasn't been smooth sailing." "Did something happen?" "Ji Hyun said to tell you to go inside and sleep." "If that's the case..." "She said she feels relieved staying in one house with you." "It's not because of the house, it's because of Min Ho hyung." "Lock the doors and get some sleep." "Is Ji Hyun asleep?" "Can she sleep?" "I envy Ji Hyun." "What?" "However, please don't fall too deeply into this relationship." "She doesn't have much time left." "What does that mean?" "I've been through it, I know." "The more you trust and love," "The more difficult it will be, after that person is gone." "Song Yi Kyung, why are you talking like Ji Hyun will die?" "Ji Hyun feel like she is unable to live again." "No, that's not it..." "Also God created the world in 7 days." "Why lose hope?" "The more you are like this the harder it is for Ji Hyun." "Think of it as you're not fated to be together in this lifetime." "Throw away your hope." "I am thankful to Song Yi Kyung." "I'm getting angry so let's stop this." "Go inside." "It's for the sake of both of you." "Just forget it, I said." "Until Ji Hyun is gone, I won't give up!" "No, I can't give up." "Please." "Don't say stuff like that to Ji Hyun." "?" "Saying I love you ?" "?" "are words my heart always shouted ?" "?" "Saying I love you ?" "?" "Are words I've repeated, behind you ?" "?" "Saying I love you ?" "?" "Are words I couldn't say, afraid you'd run away ?" "?" "Saying I love you ?" "?" "I'll confess, I love you as much as today ?" "?" "I love you ?" "Next Episode Preview." "Maybe your wish is to take unnie with you?" "Yi Kyung thinks that way?" "Kang, I can't stop Oppa." "You used to be Ji Hyun's friend." "I can't do anything, it's already too late." "Shin In Jung, what are you trying to do?" "Where do you want to go?" "I'll take you anywhere." "Please call for the 'elevator' now." "Thank you for everything, Scheduler."

"We done the internal search yet, Sandra?" "No." "Where's my gloves?" "Thank you." "But Clark needed Pommy operational, so he asked Brian Alexander to call in another New South Wales institution in the '70s - bail for sale." "Slip the right coppers the right amount and you were free to go." "How about two grand?" "I'm surprised at you, Brian." "I mean, the man had 10 grams of a serious narcotic substance." "Where was it?" "Secreted in his underwear. (LAUGHS) Four grand." "Hang on, hang on." "Our boys will need a drink out of it too." "Better make it six." "Six fucking grand?" "Good point, Jack." "I'm in a fucking police station and I'm getting fucking robbed." "Six grand it is, and by the time it gets to court," "I'll have forgotten I saw the hippie prick." "Mmm." "Peace, man."

"Shows us who the good guys are, huh?" "MAN:" "Freeman controls virtually all the illegal gambling on the east coast." "He controls his organised crime network with hired muscle, he has a reputation for ruthlessness and with small and large pay-offs, some of which I believe go to certain CIB detectives." "Very impressive, Senior." "Thank you, sir." "But let's be realistic." "This rocks a lot of boats." "And some people won't welcome getting splashed." "I want to make certain it's not stuck in someone's bottom drawer." "And that means arrests." "Think it's time we made some." "Yes, sir." "Go." "Police!" "Don't move!" "Yes, Minister." "Fully investigated." "If SP bookmaking operated from there," "Division 21 found no evidence of it." "The rest of the report " "I'm afraid the bulk of allegations have proved baseless."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Absolutely." "Just rest and recreation." "Oh, yeah." "Interested in increasing your workload?" "Sure." "It'd mean crossing the ditch permanently." "Set up home here." "Yeah." "Yeah, sure, mate." "Sounds great." "How much?" "Yeah." "400 a week." "Plus enough gear for the two of you to enjoy your...rest and recreation." "Terry says you're a really great courier, eh?" "A natural." "Did you, uh... ..you hear about Pommy?" "To think he'd betray Terry like that." "Yeah, but...what about Terry?" "I mean, it's a guy he's known for years." "Pommy was gonna kill him." "(LAUGHS)" "What?" "Terry told Doug that he pretended that the Jag broke down." "Look at the distributor." "What, this thing?" "Yeah." "Then he blew the back of Pommy's head off." "(FIRES TWO BULLETS)" "And then...he got a shovel." "And he just..." "(MOANS)" "Doug reckons that...that Terry must have, like, a split personality to do something so savage." "(MUTTERS ANGRILY)" "No, he doesn't." "And I don't know what Doug heard, but Terry was just protecting himself, protecting all of us." "And we should be grateful to him." "Oh, no." "I am."

"How can you not see the relevance." "No, it's not that I don't see it." "I just feel that right now there are more pressing matters than analyzing doodles." "You know, like a giant space ship turning back on." " Sir." " Yeah." " We lost all contact with Saturn." " What?" " We need to notify the President." " Already tried." "Tanner said he'll get back to us after the press talk." "Bypass Tanner, hurry." "And you talk to Lanford now." " Right." "Right." "Right." " Thank you." "Uh, at least your father spared the elephants." "Good for him." "Look." "The Roswell crash, in '47." "The farmer who made contact drew the same circle." "And everytime I interviewed one of my patients and showed them this." " They all expressed the same emotion." " Mm-Hm." "Fear." "And I don't think it's a circle." "The night the ship turned on." "I experienced the strongest vision I've ever had." "And I drew this." "That's incredible." "How did you decipher so much of their language?" "They were hunting us." "We have to learn how to hunt them." " That means you're beautiful." " Oh." "Thanks, man." "Not you." "I mean..." "You have to remove the sub-sonic inlets before you can reconfigure the thermalize plasma cartridges." "That's great." "Why don't you put that thing down and help me?" "Okay."

"We need to strike first." "Uh, hold on." "Hang on a second." "To my eye, the design and technology of this ship is nothing like the ones that attacked us." "I'm telling you this is not them." " And what if you're wrong?" " If you're wrong, we could be starting a war with a whole new species." "At this point, we know the Saturn base has been destroyed." "Madam President, this could very well be a coordinated attack." " Get the cannon into firing position." " Yes, sir." "We should be cautious and listen to Director Levinson." "How does the rest of the Council feel?" "Let's hold off until we know more." "We have to be decisive." "I vote to attack." "I also vote to strike." "Madam President, I need an answer." "Take them out, Commander." "We are locked on." "I think this is a mistake." "Let's take another moment..." "Fire!" "Get me an image." "It crashed into Van de Graaff crater." "We are not picking up any signs of life." "Let's hope to god we did the right thing." "Madam President, we need to send a team up to investigate the wreckage." "We need to know who we just shot down." "There's no sign of life and the threat has been neutralized." "We can send a team up, but David needs to be in DC." "No, oh." "Can we not make this political." "I need to get up there and get answers." "David, you can lead a team up there, but after the celebration." "You heard the President." "I'll expect to see you next to us tomorrow wearing your best smile." "You want to see my best smile?" "CONNECTION TERMINATED." "Did he just hang up on me?" "Sure sounded that way to me, sir."

"That's why we're taking Mike's Tug." "Oh, Jiang is not going to like this." "At approximately 2100 hours, Earth Space Defense program repelled an alien attack targeting our planet." "It wasn't them." " You can't know that for sure." " It wasn't them." " I have to tell the world." " Sir, it's time for your meds." "I have to talk to the Joint chiefs of Staff!" "Matthew, can you just give us a second, please." "You shouldn't be wasting your time with a crazy old man." "You gave up flying to take care of me and I know how much you loved it." "You should be with Jake." "He's on the moon, remember?" "And then you should be with the President." "I am with the President." "They are coming back." "And this time we won't be able to stop them." "I will avenge you, brother." "Hey, wait wait wait." "I need a receipt!" "So how do you know this guy?" "Oh." "He's Patricia Whitmore's fiance." "Thank you so much." " Good job, Collins." " Sir." "Someone called a cab?" " Thanks for doing this, Jake." " No problem." "Let's get moving though 'cause I kinda stole this thing." " I'm coming with you." " Uh, you know." "This is an ESD operation." "Strictly off limits to all civilians and warlords." "I let you in." "It would be wise for you to return the favor." "There he goes." "Where's he going?" " Oh, I'm coming too." " Catherine." "Look, something is drawing him out there and I'm going to find out what." "Excuse me." "Uh, Director Levinson." "Where the heck do you think you are going?" "Why don't you join us, Floyd?" "Everyone else is." " Might do you some good." " No." "No no no." "You're not getting on that thing and neither am I." "Okay, we're going to stay here." "And we're gonna..." "Hi." "I've never been in a Space Tug before, is there anything I should know?" "There's a lot you should know." "Seat belt." "Obviously." "David, why don't you take a seat." " Re-Really?" "In the..." " What's the matter?" "You nervous?" "Uh." "You know, it's not my favourite." "Oh, don't worry." "I haven't crash in a couple of days." "But that was intentional." "What?" "Okay, here we go." "God." "I forgot how much I hate this." " Bye!" " Bye." "That wasn't so bad." "I haven't kicked on the fusion drive yet." "Huh?" "And in our darkest moment, when all hope was lost." "I said, "Never give up."" ""You have to have faith."" "And in that moment, it came to me." "Pow!" "Like a thunderbolt." "And that's when I came up with the idea that saved the world." "Yeah." "Uh, sir?" " Huh?" " Ah, there he is." "Welcome back." "This book is a bargain!" "9.95" "It makes a great gift for your grandchildren." "If you're lucky enough to have any." "Are you ready to go, Mr. Trest." "Don't rush." "Dad, you awake?" "I thought we could watch the celebration on TV together." "Matthew!" "What was that?" "We're flying through the old mother ship's debris field." "Don't worry." "These are basically space tanks." "Space tanks, huh." "Coming up to the Van de Graaff crater." "There it is." "That's the crash site." "Today, we are honored to be in the presence of some of the brave men and women, who defied insurmountable odds and lead us to victory over alien invaders 2 decades ago." "General Grey and his beautiful wife, Audrey." "We thank you for your unwavering leadership." "Jackson." "Where the hell is Levinson?" "So what are we looking for?" "Well, I'm hoping we'll know when we see it." "Is there a way of seeing what they are seeing?" "You can even talk to them." "Nice tattoos." "That's how many aliens you killed, right?" "So." "How did you do it?" "You have to get them from behind." "Catherine." "I think I just found another one of your doodles." "Charlie." "Tell commander to prep the lab at Area 51." "How's it looking out there, Captain Hiller?" "It's truly humbling to see how beautiful Earth is from here, Madam President." "On this day, in 1996," "President Whitmore passionately declared," ""We will not go quietly into the night!"" "and we did not." "It's President Whitmore!" "What a surprise." "Ladies and gentlemen, another great war hero." "The one and only, President Thomas Whitmore." "Please say a few words!" "Today I'm not going to." "I... came to warn you." "Dad?" "Dad." "Help me." "That is definitely..." "bigger than the last one." "Shit." "Hey, Charlie." "I think you better come and get us." "The sooner the better." " AS IN RIGHT NOW!" " I'm already on it." "Everybody strap in!" "It's going to get bumpy!" "Charlie, where the hell are you?" "Flying through my worst nightmare." "David!" "Grab my hand!" "Come on!" "Reach!" "We're in, close the ram!" "This just came in from one of our lunar satellites." "The ship is more than 3,000 miles in diameter." "How the hell did we miss this?" "Activate all our defense systems and shut down the celebration." "Attention." "Attention." "We have an emergency situation." "Let's go, move." "Get her out of here." "Please leave the premises in a calm and orderly fashion." "I repeat." "Please leave the premises in a calm and orderly fashion." " We got to move!" " Not without that piece." "Yeah, I thought you were going to say that." "Charlie, get on the arms." "Talk to me, Charlie." "What's happening?" " Damn it." " What do you mean, damn it?" "I'm trying my best." "Stop fighting, just grab it." "Got it!" "Go." "Go." "There's a flying mountain coming right for us." "Hold on!" "Oh shit." "I'm losing speed." "Jesus, it has it's own gravity." " What does that mean?" " It means we're going for a ride." "You mean we're stuck under this thing?" "Arm the primary." "We're powered up and locked on." "Fire!" "Negative impact." "Negative impact." "Permission to engage." "Negative." "Negative." "All fighters clear the blast zone." "Arm the primary and fire again!" "Above us." "Something is happening." "Sir." "Evacuate!" "EVERYONE!" "Go." "Go!" "Uncle Jiang, hurry!" "Rain, watch out!" "All fighters, fall back." "Fall back!" "Copy." "It's projected to enter Earth's atmosphere in 22 minutes." "If it doesn't alter it current velocity, it's going to crack the planet in half." "We're not going to let that happen, Tanner." " Initiate the orbital defense system." " Yes, ma'am." "General Adams, we are primed and ready to fire." "Initiate simultaneous count down." "Roger, command." "Syncing now." "Starting count down." "10. 9. 8." "Here we go again." "5. 4. 3. 2." "General, the Asian Pacific defense system went off line before they can fire." "Yes, sir." "Copy that!" "Jake's alive!" "He radioed us from the moon!" "He's with Director Levinson!" "They're on their way to Area 51!" "That Hercules right there is on standby." "President Lanford just rolled in, make a hole." "Madam President, can you take my father to Cheyenne Mountain?" " Yes, of course." " I'm going with you, Patty." "Dad." "You're going to need me." " Wish us luck." " Ma'am, we have to go." "Director Levinson." "I'm going to talk to my supervisor to make sure you get all the money you need!" "What are those green light?" "I want you to help us, quickly." "Help!" "Help!" "Let's go!" "Hey!" "Where are you going?" "The ship will touch down over the Atlantic." " Which part?" " All of it, ma'am." "Issue evacuation order for every coastline." "I don't think there's time." "So what's the plan?" "We have less than 20 minutes to get every patient out of here." " Move." " Yes, ma'am." "We still have two in surgery." " Get them to post-op as fast as you can." " Absolutely." "Help, please." "I got you, honey." "I'm not going to leave you." "What goes up, must come down." "Don't worry, we're in a controlled dive!" " Falling." "It's called falling." " No, controlled dive." "Nice." "Nice." "Jesus." "They like to get the landmarks." "Are we dead?" "We're okay." "You peed in your pants?" "Uh, yeah." "Yeah, me too." "." "We can access the trench through here." " Are you sure?" " Mm-hm, a 100%." "This, right here." "That's the best way in." "Yeah, we got it." "Captain, they are ordering all ships out of the area." "That's a 100 million dollars worth of gold on that ship." "They think we're going to leave it, they're out of their minds." "Captain." "You better come and see this." "To all aircraft within the sound of my voice, we expect the devastation to the east coast to be beyond imagination." "The rally point for all remaining aircraft is Area 51." "Rain, you take the lead." "I'll meet you there." "I got to see about someone." "Good luck." " You okay?" " My mother lives in London." "Maybe she made it out." "Yeah." "Maybe." " Dad, where are you?" " On my boat, where else." "David, this one is definitely bigger than the last one." "You can see it?" "Uh, listen to me." "You have to get to shore as fast as you can." "Dad!" "David." "David!" "Oh, sweet Moses." "Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" " We're going to die!" " No." "No." "Look at me." "Look at me." "We are not going to die." "Marine 3, clear." "I got bodies on the hospital roof that need immediate evac!" "I got you." "I got you." "Yes!" "Yes." "Come on, let's go." "Hand him the baby." "It's okay." "Okay." "Please becareful." "You're going to be alright." "He's got her." "Get on board." "Get on board." "We got to go right now!" "Good girl." "MOM!" "Pull her up!" "Pull her up!" "No!" "No, mom!" "Nooooo!" "Whoa." "Whoa." "Oh my!" "Why did I buy this boat?" "Whoa." "Whoa." "Glad to have you back, Mr. President." "It's been far too long." "Thank you." " Is David Levinson here?" " Not yet." "Morrison's tug is still 10 minutes out." "Have them meet us at the prison." "We need to interrogate one." "What the..." "It's gotten worse." "Much worse." "Mr. President?" "Dr. Okun." " You're awake." " Very much so." "Why are they screaming?" "No." "No, no, no." "They-They..." "They're not screaming." "They're celebrating." "General, one of the prison cells is docking with the chamber." "Where's my dad?" " I..." "I think he went in there." " Get the weapons!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "We have alien guns?" "OVERRIDE SYSTEM CHAMBER LOCK" "Isolation chamber activated." "How did he get in here?" "Dad, it's too dangerous." " Someone get him out of there." " He overrode the system." "Sir, please unlock the door!" "Don't you worry about me." "Just get as many answers as you can." "No." "Don't!" "Whitmore locked himself in." "Can you hear us?" "She has arrived." "Who is she?" "She... is all." "What does she want?" "What does this mean?" "What does this symbol mean?" "Why are you afraid of it?" " It's killing him!" " That's enough!" "Move!" "Kill it now!" "Dad?" "Daddy?" "Daddy?" " He's breathing." " Someone call a medical team." "Is it dead?" "I told you." "You kill them from behind." "Daisy, stop crying." "She's scared, okay." "I want Mom." "We'll find her." "They're both dead." "Just shut up, okay." "That's enough." " You don't even have your license." " Um, look around you." "You think anyone's going to pull us over?" "The radio said to go inland so that's where I'm going." " There's a guy in that boat!" " I am not stopping, alright." "Look, he was moving." " He needs our help." " Sam, stop the car." "Unbelievable." "Hurry up, okay." "I think he's just knocked out!" "I don't think it's a coincidence that this thing showed up just before they did." " You know, I think you're right." " Brakish." "You should be in bed, babe." "Where." "Where did you get this?" "That's uh." "That's from a ship that we shot down." "We need to cut this open." "Director Levinson, proceed to command center immediately." "Call us as soon as you have anything." "Come on, people." "Move." "Baby, I'm so happy that you want to dive back into work." " Maybe we should get you some pants." " Pants?" "Oh." "Alright, go on!" "Why didn't you tell me my butt was hanging out?" "We have infrared of the alien ship, sir." " Are those dots..." " That must be aliens." "What's that mass?" "Enlarge the section, please." "That's what our prisoner alien meant by..." ""She is all."" "Director Levinson, I have Cheyenne Mountain and the remaining world leaders online." " David, what can you tell us?" " Ma'am." "They are like a hive and I think we've just found their queen." "Their... very big queen." "This is an infrared image of their ship and we think that's her, Madam President." " Right there in the middle." " Christ almighty." "General Adams, we have a live feed from our reconnaissance aircraft." " Great." "Put it up." " Yes, sir." "David, is this one of their plasma drills you briefed us about?" "Yeah, I believe so." "The funnel is over a mile in diameter, sir." "That's 20 times bigger than the one in Africa." "I think they're after our molten core." "Which means no magnetic fields." "Our atmosphere evaporate basically the end of life on this planet." "Oh, so you are saying we're already finished." "Not necessarily." "Back in '96, the drilling in Africa stops when we blew up their mother ship." "There must be a queen up there that we didn't know about." "Assuming this hive theory holds true." "General, if we could blow up this queen, maybe it could work again." "Alright then." "I'm authorizing an immediate retaliatory strike." "Let's do it." " Scramble the fighters." " Right away." " Go get them." " Attention." "All pilots report to mission briefing in ..." "Hey." "Come find me after the briefing, okay?" "Suit up, boys." "I'm so sorry, Dylan." "I was right there, man." "I couldn't save her." "It's too late." "Look." "I know I am probably the last person you want to hear from right now." "But I've been where you are." "And I know how deep it hurts." "She wouldn't want you to give up now." "Come on, man, you got to lead us." "See you up there, Lieutenant." "Good afternoon." "This red mass on top of the ship, that's your target." "We're gonna send a fleet of drones to go ahead of you and disable their shields." "You mission, is to fly cover for the bombers who will be armed with cold-fusion warheads." "Now, the blast should penetrate the hull and kill that alien queen." "Captain Hiller will brief you on the flight plan." "We'll all try to converge at the same time." "But whoever gets to the target first, will deliver the payload." "We have to expect that they're going to come at us with everything they got." "So protect the bombers at all cost." "We all lost someone that we loved." "So let's do it for them." "Alpha launch in 1 minute." "Jake." "I'm coming back." "I promise." "Make them pay." "I'm not going out there to make friends, right?" "I looked at the houses." "The one on Harrison Street, with the stone walkway." "If it's still there." "Okay." "It's getting real." "It's getting real, real." "Alright, form up." "On me." "It's the 4th of July." "So show them some fireworks." "I want you to give me one of your katana blades and teach me everything you know." "Fine." "You know what?" "I'll figure something out." "What are you idiots doing?" "The world's going to an end." " Even worse, we lost the gold." " Mm-hm." "So we thought we drink a little!" "US government is on the line." "They say the aliens are drilling to the Earth's core and they are looking for a ship in the area to monitor their progress." "We're the only ones left." "Tell them we'll do it, for a hundred million dollars." "Look at this guy." "Weee." "Yeah, hold on a second." "He's drunk." "They say it's a deal." "Look, Sam." "They are going off road." "Maybe we should do the same." "Dear god!" "Ouch." "Ouch." " What the hell happened here?" " We rescued you." "Oh, thank you." "Is this really you?" "Well, of course it's me." "Who else would it be?" " What's your son like?" " Can you get us his autograph?" "How often do you see him?" "These days we only see each other at Thanksgiving but unfortunately... unless he had to cancel." "What about you?" "Where are your parents?" "Um." "Visiting our grandparents in Florida." "Oh, I see." "Where should we go, Mr. Levinson?" "I think the safest place for all of us to be right now is by my David." "Since you're the leading expert in this condition," "I really want you to see this." "How can his connection be so strong?" "During the first attack, he was exposed to their collective mind." "It was completely unfiltered." " I need to ask him about this." " I already have." "He doesn't even remember drawing them." "Okay." "Let's try this baby on for size." "You know, I helped bring that thing back from space." " Is there anything I can do?" " Yeah." "Back off." "Yeah." "Of course." "Command, we have visual." "Roger, Captain Hiller." "Continue approach." "Mission is a go." "Bay 18, sir." "Why did you put it all the way up there?" "Give me that." "Get the ladder down there, come on." "You couldn't leave it on the bottom shelf?" "Here we go." "Alright." "I'm coming for you, baby." "There she is." "What is it?" "An alien laser?" "Nope." "That's the Okun laser." " Why aren't they attacking us?" " Becareful what you wished for." "There's the queen ship." "Bombers, prepare to drop!" "You just had to jinx us!" "Bank right!" "Bank right!" "Evade!" "Evade!" "God!" "Evade!" "Evade! Squad, pull out!" "Bank right." "Maintain defensive posture." "." "Protect the bombers." "Dive!" "Dive!" "Command, the queen ship is too heavily defended." "We have to regroup and find a new approach." "We have incoming!" " Damn, they're fast!" " Jesus, look at their fire power." "Break left." "Bank right!" "Oh yeah, I got you now." "I got you." "I got you." "Wow!" "I can't shake him." "Son of a bitch!" "Uh, come on." "Help me out here." "I got you." "Dylan, that's me, 12 o'clock." "Come on." "Come on." "Bank left!" "God!" " You can thank me later." " I'll thank you right now." "We just lost bomber 9 and bomber 13, sir." "Command, we can't get to the top of the ship." "It's to heavily armed." "We're dropping like flies out here." "Come on!" "I think we need to fly inside." " No, that's suicide." "Sir." " Damn it." "Morrison's right." "This is our only shot!" "Do it." "We'll detonate the bombs from the command center and we'll give you enough time to get the hell out of there." "Copy that." "Jake, follow my lead." "I'm on your wing." "All bombers, we're going in." "They didn't follow us." "Let's form up on the leads." "Charlie, look at those fields down there." "They have their own ecosystem." "Dad." "Dad." "Hey, it's me." "You have to warn them." "She knows that they are coming." "We got eyes on the target, tally-ho." "That's what we came here for." "All bombers, open bomb bay doors." "Get them out of there." "It's a trap." "Come on, no!" "Command, I have engine failure!" "We have engine failure!" "Attempt to restart!" "We're going down!" "We're going down!" "I can't restart." "Come on!" "We lost all power." "Command, you have to trigger the bomb!" "It's the only way!" " Don't let us die for nothing!" " Do it!" "Madam President, requesting authorization." "Permission granted." "Detonation sequence initiated." "Tel..." "Patricia..." "I..." "lov... her..." "I love you too." "In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." "Command, it's a negative impact!" "The blasts are contained by an energy shield!" "Repeat..." "The blasts... contained... by an energy sh..." "We lost the signal, sir." "Wait." "Something's happening." "SYSTEM OFFLINE" "She baited us." "Tanner, we have to have a status report." "We're trying." "Our satellites are down." "We're completely blind." "Madam President!" "There will be no peace." "Careful!" "You'll agitate the crystals." "I build it back in '94." "Had to shelf it though after the meltdown in Sector 3." " Here." "Put it over here." " Brakish, you're overexerting yourself." "What is that thing doing here?" "Alright." "Be a good boy, go stand over there." "Wait a second." "What meltdown?" "Are we sure this thing is safe to use?" "Highly unlikely." "Clear!" "What's the status of the fleet?" "Only 7% made it back to base, sir." " 7%!" " Yes, sir." "General." "Cheyenne Mountain is gone." "All members of the presidential line up succession are presumed dead." "They're here to swear you in, sir." "Attention to orders!" "Please repeat after me." " I, Joshua T. Adams." " I, Joshua T. Adams." " Do solemnly swear." " Do solemnly swear." "I'm so sorry." "You are right." "We're not going to beat them this time." "God, look at the line." "It's like a thousand cars." "We're never going to get gas." "Have a little faith." "You want to talk about faith?" "My parents are probably dead right now." "And most of my friends..." "She's upset because her boyfriend, Kyle, is for sure a goner." "What's a goner?" " Someone who is dead." " Felix." "Why don't you pull over here." "Let me drive and you take a little break." "Okay." "David, you should be in the command center." "President Whitmore, thank god you're okay." "It's been a while." "I had 20 years to get us ready." "And we never had a chance." "We didn't last time, either." "We always knew they were coming back." "But look how far we've come." "In the last 20 years, this planet has been unified in a way that's unprecedented in human history." "That's sacred." "That's worth fighting for." "We convinced an entire generation that this is a battle we could win." "And they believed us." "We can't let them down." "It wasn't luck last time." "It was our resolve." "We all have to fight till our last breath." "And that is going to lead us to victory." "You understand some of their language." "I like you to tell me if any of these writings mean anything to you." "So okay, how about this one." "This talks about an intergalactic war." "This concerns the whole universe." "What about this one?" "Something about an enemy." "That needs to be destroyed before it gets to us." "Wait." "I had a case study in Brazil, where my patient didn't describe the circle as sphere." "He refereed to it as "enemy"." "Of course." "Their enemy is our ally." "Uh." "Your laser's smoking." "Oh oh." "Get it out of here." "Tell them to try and pull it open." "Hello, gorgeous." "Time to find out what secrets you're hiding." "Alright, let's go get everyone." "Bring them here." "Yes, sir." "Watch your back!" "Go, go." "Don't block in front of the guy." "Jake, get out of the way!" "Guys." "You really need to see this." "I've run every possible scan." "It's not giving off any kind of signal." "I mean nothing." "It's like it doesn't even exist." "It's almost like it's trying to hide itself." " It's really smooth." " Hey." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "You're not wearing gloves, you'll contaminate it!" "Remove your hands, Floyd." "That's weird." " I can't." " What do you mean you can't, Rosenberg?" "Okay." "I'm trapped." "Somebody do something, it's swallowing me." "Just stay calm and don't panic." "This thing is trying to eat me, your advice is not to panic?" "ENEMY DETECTED" "ENEMY DETECTED" "It looks like they're mobilizing." "David, please tell me this isn't some kind of a Trojan horse." "I don't think it's a danger to us, but it must be to them." "He turned it on just by touching it." "I activated myself when I detected your biological signature to be different from theirs." "It speaks, ha, in English." "I deconstructed your primitive language." " We're-We're primitive?" " Correct." "My species shared our biological existence for a virtual one thousands of years ago." "Far out." "Why are you here?" "When I intercepted their distress call," "I knew they would come to exterminate you." "I came to evacuate as many of you as possible." "But you attacked me with the same weapons that they used on us." " They attacked you?" " Correct." "A harvester ship conquered our planet and extracted it's molten core." "They used them to refuel their ships and grow their technology." "They've done this to countless civilizations." "We fought them for thousands of years." "But they destroyed all of our ships." "I, am the sole survivor." "I am so sorry to hear that." "Do you have a plan?" "My system holds the key to superior technology." "And there is a hidden planet where I teach refugees from other fallen worlds how to build weapons that will defeat them" " once and for all." " That's why they're afraid of you." "You're the only ones who threaten their existence." "Correct." "But now that I'm activated, the queen will detect my signature and hunt me down." "It's too late." "She's already on her way." "Yeah." "She's coming." "And what would happen if..." "if we're able to kill her." "No one has ever killed a harvester queen." "That's encouraging." "But as a hive, her fighters will fall and her ship will leave your planet, recalled by other harvester queens." "But it's too late now." "You must terminate me or she will get the coordinates to the refugee planet." "And that will be the end." "Wait-Wait a second." "Wait a second." "If we are so sure that she's coming here to get you." "Maybe." "We can bait her..." "like she baited us." "Mr. President, Dr. Okun thinks that we can" " replicate the sphere's RF radiation signal." " David, English please." "Every computer has a radioactive signature, whether it's your laptop, you phone, even your watch." "But the sphere has a RFR that's completely off the charts." "So, if we hide the real sphere inside the isolation chamber, and pack this decoy transmitter so to speak, onto a Tug filled with cold-fusion bombs and lure her out to the salt flats." "We can fly right up her royal ass and bon voyage!" "You set off cold-fusion bombs, you're gonna kill everyone from here to Houston." "Not if we use the shield generators from this base to contain the blast." "Without our shields, you better put a blaster in every able-bodied hand." " And get them ready to shoot some aliens." " Yes, sir." "Now, we just need a way to..." "see her coming." "Follow me." " Do your thing." " My thing." "My thing." "My thing." " Take it off!" " Copy, sir." "Watch it." "This old radar truck was suppose to go to the Smithsonian." " They never picked it up." " It's a good thing they didn't." "Yeah, drive it to the highest point." "The higher the better." "Yes, sir." "Look what I found in the hold." "We should be able to communicate with this." "Let's hook up the antenna." "What was that?" "Whoa whoa whoa whoa." "The drill is cracking the outer mantle." "But... that shouldn't happen for another..." "We were wrong." "We do not have 7 hours until the Earth core breach." "We only have... one." "Call it in." "Area 51." "Area 51." "Do you copy?" "So the idea is to get her to follow this tug into the salt flats using the decoy transmitter on board." "And once she's taken the bait, our cold-fusion bombs can go to town to hail Mary." "It can work." "There's a catch." "As you know, they took out all of our satellites, which means... that somebody is going to have to fly in manually." "And I know that I'm asking for the ultimate sacrifice." "I know that." "But you, you're the only pilots we have left." "And I need a volunteer." "Let's get it done." "I'll fly it in." "No, you won't." "I'll do it." "Mr. President." "Dad, what are you doing?" "Patty, there're a lot of reasons I'm the best choice for this." "You all have to pick up the pieces once it's over." "This is my part." "Matthew." "Do not let him get on that Tug." "Do you understand me?" "Get the hell off the road!" "If you go any slower, we'll be going backwards." "Don't be a schmuck, we have to conserve gas." "Area 51 is still 75 miles away." " We're running on fumes." " What do we have here?" " Who's in charge here?" " No one." "Our driver left us to take a ride to Minnesota." "Just like that." "He just left?" "He wanted to go have sex with his girlfriend." "YES!" "All aboard!" "Wait." "Wait wait wait." "What about our-our car?" "We'll get you a new one when you get your license." "On the bus, everybody!" "Tell the General we're up and running." "Bring it in!" "Spin it around." "Alright." "Plug it in." "Radar is operational, sir." "Son of a bitch." "Alright, they're coming in fast." "David, we got a real firestorm coming our way and not a lot of time to prepare." "Give me numbers, Mr. President." "9 minutes to the queen ship's arrival." "Roughly 22 minutes before the drill reaches our molten core." "Jesus Christ." "Take your positions." "We don't have a second to lose!" "Are we going to make it, sir?" "You bet your ass we will." "This thing is way cooler than the machete." "Sorry!" "Sorry, everyone." "That was my bad." "I'm going to see if it's clear." "Jake!" "Ha." " Hell of a time to scare a guy." " Sorry." "God, it's great." "It's good to see you." "It's good to see you too." " I didn't think you'd made it." " Why not?" "Uh, you know." "You haven't flown a fighter in a while, so I figure..." "You're alive, that's what counts." "Enough with the reunion." "They're going to hear us." " More of us made it." " You're still talking loud." "So what now?" "Go in guns blazing?" "Hey, what are you doing?" "You guys, get to those fighters and don't leave me hanging." "Wait!" "Excuse me!" "Down here" "There you go." "Listen, I usually don't hold a grudge." "But... you killed my parents." "So..." "Well, I'm going to make an exception for you guys." "Charlie, Rain." "You two take the first fighter." "Been holding that one for a while." " Their technology hasn't change at all." " Get the weapons ready." "Woo." "New interface." "Shit!" "Jake's in trouble!"

" Command, we have a breach." " How many do you think?" "About 2 dozen, sir." "Under no circumstances do they see the sphere." "You do whatever it takes!" "Do you copy?" "Copy that." " This is Sam, my navigator." " Um." "You're a lot taller than I imagined." "This is her sister, Daisy." "Bobby." "Um, sir." "Is that suppose to happen?" " Oh my god." " Not good." "Oh my god."

"The thing just leaped into the air!" " What did he just say?" " Something about jumping." "Whoa." "Whoa." "We are within 6 minutes, sir." "David, 6 minutes to Earth's core breach." " General Adams, her shield is down!" " Yes!" "I repeat." "Her shield is down." "Great job, Lieutenant." "I got you, baby." "We're going to get you out of this." "Aim for her gun, Charlie." "Aim for her gun." "This is Captain Hiller." "We hijacked a couple of alien fighters." " Yeah!" " Yes!" "Do not shoot at us." "We're the ones trailing smoke." "Roger that, Captain Hiller." " Yes!" " Come on, get her." "Shoot her down!" "Whitmore destroyed the queen ship and his daughter knocked out her shield." "Now listen up." "They're going for our molten core." "You've got 4 minutes to destroy the queen." "So give her hell." "Copy that, no pressure." "We're really running into an alien prison!" "This is the one!" " Open up!" " We're here!" "Ah!" "She knows!" "She's coming!" "Dylan, what's happening?" "I don't know." "My controls just stopped responding." " Same here." " Charlie, do something." "I can't." "She must have taken control over our systems." "I think we are part of the hive now." "Looks like we're not the only ones." "What the hell." "She's taking us straight to Area 51." " Whoa." " Whoa." "Hey, what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" " You're not going to follow her!" " Stay behind the yellow line, please Dad." " There's no yellow line." " Imagine one." "That!" "Take that!"

"I got something I got to tell you." "What?" "This... was supposed to be a sweater." "Oh no no no." "No." "No." "What the hell is she doing?" "That's close enough, David." "That's close enough." "It's like they are trying to protect her." "More are coming." " Give me that thing!" " Take mine." "2 minutes, sir." "2 minutes until core breach." "Captain Hiller, you got 2 minutes." "2 minutes." " We got to get of this tornado." " Every tornado has an eye, right?" "I think if we want to get a shot at her, we got to get up there." "How are we going to do that?" "We don't have any manual controls left." "Well, don't these things have fusion drive or something?" "Are you kidding me?" "That thing is make for outer space!" " Down here we'll burn up!" " You got a better idea, Charlie?" "From where I'm sitting, it looks like it's our only damn chance!" " Our only chance to die." " Charlie, shut up!" "Rain, on the thrusters." " You're all crazy!" " One." "Two." "Three." "Ah, still alive." " You alright?" " Woo, man." " I got the controls back." " And our weapons are working." "Yeah, but our engines are fried." "Alright." "Well, it's got to be a controlled dive then." "There she is." "Everybody, we got 1 shot at this." "Let's make it count." "Thanks for always looking out for me, Jake." "You got it, buddy." "It's over." "It's over." " You got them all." " Okay." "Except that one." "Oh my god." "She's got it." "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Get ready for a close encounter, bitch!" "Charlie, go for her back!" "Right where the tentacles are." "That's her weak spot." " Keep shooting, Charlie!" " What do you think I'm doing?" "Charlie, this thing got ejection seats?" "Negative!" "Look out!" "Okay, that's getting too close." "David!" "David, let's get out of here." "Back off." "Go back!" "We're alive." "We're rich." "Oh my god." "General Adams, the Earth's core is secure." " Yay!" " Yay!" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Baby, put the gun down." "Jake." "Jake." "We're not even married yet, and you're already trying to shoot me?" "Maybe we should try that." "You know." "Dinner first." "Director Levinson, well done." "Thank you, Mr. President." "Catherine." "Um." "Don't say anything." "You'll just ruin it." "Who are you?" "David never mention a beautiful woman in his life." "Dad." "I'm Julius." "I'm his father." "Enchanté." "I'm Catherine Marceaux." " Can you give us a second?" " I was never here." "Uh, listen." "Maybe you guys should stay with me for a while." "I think I would really like that." "Yes, so would I." " Are you okay?" " I am." "Thanks to you." "This wasn't all for nothing." " You are a remarkable species." " Not so primitive after all, uh." "Hey." "You think they'll let me keep this?" "You have the heart of a warrior."

"I didn't want to let you go... but your mother insisted, and I thought at a time like this you'd rather " "It'll be a relief for you too." "No one to bother you for two months." "Don't say that." "But I will get some work done on my novel." "I haven't written a line since we were married." "Is that my fault?" "It's to your credit." "You know how much my novel means to me." "You mean much more." " Really?" " I'll dedicate it to you." " You'll what?" "I know what "wife" means." "No, you don't." "But I do." "I do too." "What?" "The matches." "Tell me... what's that in your eyes?" "Kohl." "Will you come for the puja festival?" "I hope to." "Wire me when you arrive." "Letters take too long." "Go on now." " Will you come?" " Have I ever broken a promise?" "Write me twice a week." " Will you write too?" " Not unless you do." "Write to my office, or Mr. Ray will open your letters." "Listen - Oh, I'm forgetting everything!" "Pintu's mother is making pudding for you." "And we owe the grocer money." "I left some jewelry behind." "Keep it safe, will you?" "Please take care of yourself." "My friend." "You'll see her in a few days, so why worry?" "I'm not worrying." "I wish I knew your secret." "How to be happy and married in these hard times on a clerk's 45 rupees a month." "How do you know I'm happy?" "I know." "I don't know what your wife is like, but mine " "I mean, I like them a little feisty." "I like them to be a little quarrelsome, a little saucy." "Know what I mean?" "I like them a bit mischievous and smart." "It adds spice to a marriage." "My wife's just the opposite." " Really?" "Never quarrels." "Nothing for dinner?" "She won't say a word." "Nothing to wear?" "She won't complain." "Say right, she goes right." "Say left, she goes left." "Utterly bland and insipid." "And to top it all off..." "You promised to come on the eighth day of the festival." "I'll be waiting." "If you don't come, I'll never ever speak to you again." "You're a big liar." "You only wrote me seven letters last month." "It should have been eight." "You really don't keep your promises." "I've been counting the days, and if you don't come " "Let's go, my friend." "Come on." "And I feel jealous of that girl next door." "You know why?" "She sees you morning and evening, and I don't." "It's quite unfair." "Do keep that window shut." "What else is there to write?" "That's all for now." "I've misspelled lots of words." "I know you'll laugh." "Go ahead." "I'm no novelist - just good enough for a letter." "Take good care of yourself." "I'm well, but my heart is sick." "It will heal when you come." "If you don't..." "I'll never speak to you ever ever again..." " How are things?" " Fine, thanks." " And the family?" " Just fine." "What is it?" "Murari?" "What is it?" "Aparna..." "What's happened to her?" "In childbirth..." "What?" "She told me just the other day," ""Ma'am, I'm leaving him in your care." "He's so absent-minded and gets lost in his writing." "He might forget to eat at night."" "Such gentle ways she had, and so good-natured." "She suddenly appeared and just as suddenly " "Well, it's a good thing the child was saved." "Everyone has their sorrow and suffering, my son." "But a man mustn't break down like this." "Besides, you're still young." ""While Krishna has his knot of hair and his flute, there'll be women to serve him."" "You could marry ten times over." "You have nothing to worry about." ""Dear Pulu, you must have heard the news by now." "I hear you're going abroad." "I wish you success." "I'm going away too." "I don't know where I'm going, but I do know why." "I want to be free." "I'm taking my manuscript with me." "I'll send it to you if I finish it." "You may publish it if you see fit." "Yours, Apu"" "Oh!" "What did you drop there?" "All my food's ruined!" "I'll show you!" "Stealing at your age, eh?" "Ouch!" "Almost bit my arm off, the little beast!" "Want me to tell the master?" "Know what will happen?" "You know what will happen?" " You'll tell Grandfather?" "A good thrashing will teach you a lesson!" "He'll beat you up." "Who'll beat me up?" "My father." "He lives in Calcutta." "Your father lives in Calcutta!" "So what?" "Should I tremble in fear?" "He lives in Calcutta!" "We haven't seen his pigtail these last five years!" "Your father indeed!" "Beat me up, will he?" "Do fathers have pigtails?" "In five years he hasn't shown up even once to see his own son." "Have you ever heard of such a thing?" "Thinks he's done his duty by sending a money order now and then." "Do you know where he is?" "I was dead set against the marriage." "It was you and your aunt who took my daughter and " " Do you know where Apu is?" " What good would it do?" "Please tell me." "In Nagpur or somewhere, working in a coal mine, the good-for-nothing vagabond." "And the boy's just like him, always running around and getting into mischief." "The other day he broke my marble tumbler." "When your aunt was alive she could manage him, but now, with my failing health " "Do you have Apu's address?" "Whatever's on his letter." "But what good is that?" "Think you can bring him back?" "He hasn't even come back for his own child, the heartless brute!" "You?" "When did you get back?" "I went looking for you at my uncle's place." "What are you doing here?" "Working." "Since when?" "About a year." "All the way out here?" " I didn't come here for a job." " Then why?" "I just ended up here as I wandered around." "And?" "I had to fill my belly." "And have you?" "More or less." "How's everything else?" "How's the writing?" "How's the novel coming?" "I threw it away." "What?" "Why?" "What's the use?" "Come on." "You planning to stay here?" " No." " Then what?" "I'm thinking of going away." "I'm not happy here." "Where would you go?" "Maybe abroad." "I'm saving up." "By yourself?" " Who else is there?" " Kajal." " Who?" " Kajal." "Your son." "So that's his name, is it?" "Listen to me." "What?" "Go back home." "Why?" "The boy needs someone to look after him." "He has no one to do that." "There's such a thing as a father's duty, or did you throw that away too?" "Who says I don't do my duty?" "I send money, don't I?" " Is that it?" " I can't do any more." "What are you saying?" "Have you no feelings for your own son?" "No." "How can I feel anything for him?" "I've never even seen him." "To me he's unreal, imaginary." "For me he doesn't exist." "You've lost your senses." "I've done my duty." "Do as you see fit." "Good-bye." " What?" " Wait." "My train leaves at 7:00." "Come here." "What?" "Do something for the boy." "Put him in a boarding school." " You can do that yourself." " No." "Why not?" " I just can't." " Why?" "That's what I don't get." "There's one thing I can never forget." "It's because Kajal is alive... that Aparna isn't." "I've sent money three times." "I'll send more if necessary." "I can't do any more." "I can't take any more responsibility for him." "I admit it:" "I feel no affection for him." "If you think he's not being looked after properly... make other arrangements... and I'll cover the cost." "Shall I give you money now?" " There's no point." "I start a new job Monday." "I can't do anything right now." "I'm going." "Who is it?" "Whom do you wish to see?" "It's me" " Apu." "Have you come to take him away?" "I've made arrangements to leave him in my home village." "I'm going away." "He's lying down upstairs." "He's had a fever, but he's better today." "I'm your father." "Come here!" "No, don't!" "What are you doing?" "You'll kill him." "Will you be my friend?" "I tell very good stories." "Stories about ghosts... demons... kings and queens... princes and winged horses." "Want to hear them?" "I'll leave this jewelry with you in case he has to be sent to a boarding school." "I'll speak to Pulu again, but you'll have to bear with Kajal a few more days." "Good-bye." "You're his father." "Can't you force him to go with you?" "He's just a child." "Make him go with you!" "No, I can't do that." "You can't do anything!" "I knew it all along." "What is it?" "You want to say something?" "Where are you going?" "You want to come along?" "Are you going to Calcutta?" "If I am, will you come?" "Would you take me to my father?" "Of course." "Will he be mad at me?" "Why should he be?" "He won't go away and leave me?" "Never." "Who are you?" "I'm your... friend." "Will you come with me?" "Come on." "Kajal, come on!" "Grandpa will scold me." "He won't know." "I won't tell him." "Come on!" "THE END"

"This is a great engagement party, but I get the P-shaped sandwiches for Penny and Pete, but what is with the lowercase B's?" "Uh... uh, yeah." "Anyways, I can't believe that Penny is late for her own engagement party." "I can't believe Penny sent out a "save a date" card and asked us to hold every month but February." "I can't believe anyone voluntarily decided to marry Penny." "I mean... (Laughs) she's a disaster of a human woman." "Am I right?" "(Laughs)" "Okay, you guys are all consistently misleading me with fake pile-ons." "Hi!" "I am so sorry I'm late." "I got super caught up doing wedding stuff." "Hello," "Steve-who-couldn't-commit- to-a-serious-relationship." "Check out this rock." "And, no, ya can't smoke it." "I never asked-- how was rehab?" "So you're here now." "Let's get started on the presents." "Oh!" "(Giggles)" "Ooh, Penny, let me go first." "Let me go first." "I got you... (Gasps) Oh!" "A blender." "Nay, a blendaddy." "Weird." "(Alex gasps)" "This thing whisks." "This thing grinds." "This thing mixes." "Throw a lobster in here, make a bisque." "Frappe up your milk for a 'puccino." "(Blender whirring loudly)" "Max, are you selling those?" "Actually, we're all selling these." "We each have to push 15 units and then give me the money, or I am in a very bad way with some very bad people." "(Whirring stops)" "(Whispers) Greek Orthodox." "Thank you for that." "(Jane clears throat)" " And this... is from me. (Laughs)" " Aw!" "(Penny gasps) (Jane's voice) Hey-o!" " Aah!" " I'm gonna be your wedding planner." "I'm gonna be your wedding planner." "I'm gonna be your wedding planner." "I love it." "Thank you." "Why work with an impersonal professional wedding planner?" "You need someone who knows you, who loves you, and would rather burn your wedding to the ground than see anyone else plan it." "You did have the best wedding I've ever been to." "Hello!" "Standing right here!" "I think our wedding was, uh, pretty spectacular." "Yeah." "The only thing missing was a bride who stayed for the duration of the ceremony." "Hey-o!" " Ooh!" "(High-pitched voice)" " Ooh!" " Come on." " What?" "He's got the hot hand." "I am so excited to get started." "You are gonna have the best wedding ever." "Pete, are you excited?" " Pete?" " Peter?" " Pete-est?" " Baby?" "(Gasps) Oh, crap!" "Damn it!" "I forgot to invite Pete!" "(Gasps) (Jane, Dave, Alex, Brad, and Max) What?" "!" "(High-pitched voice) What am I gonna do?" "!" "So this is all... (All) Surprise engagement party!" "(High-pitched voice) What?" "!" "No!" "(Laughs) What?" "!" "Oh!" "(Laughs)" "What?" "!" "(Laughs) What?" "!" "(Air hissing)" "(Gasps) What?" "!" "No!" "(Laughs) Oh, my God!" "No." " Mmm." " Are you sure we're not super late?" "It looks like this party has been going on for a while." "No." "No, these are not deflated balloons." "They are just simply floating at half-mast in honor of all your fallen former lovers." "(Alex snoring loudly) Hmm." "And behold!" "This beautiful sleeping nymph symbolizes our love." "(Slaps couch) (Lowered voice) Wake up, you tiny whore." " Huh?" " She really is small and tuckered out from all her whoring." "Yet she has a heart of gold." "So..." " So..." " Hmm." "What more can be said but "so"?" " What a party, huh?" " Penny, what's going on?" " You are not even gonna believe" " Tell the truth." " My computer totally crashed" " Not a half-truth." " It's sort of a funny story" " Or a quarter-truth." "All right." "Look, I-I've been super busy since we got engaged, and I forgot to put your e-mail on the invite list." "I made it a Peteless post." "(Mouths word)" "Penny..." " Penny?" " I'm sorry." "From here and out we will make every single decision together." "Except for the location and the band, which I already booked." "Chicago and Chicago!" "They owe me." "I saved the drummer from choking on a hushpuppy once at the state fair." "Took him a while to recover, but he's feelin' stronger every day." "Hey-o!" "Hot hand transfer alert!" " I'll take it." " Yes." "(Brad)" " Yeah." " So are we good?" "The thing is, I always wanted to, uh... elope." " What?" "(Gasps)" " No!" "Uh, what?" "I'm" " I'm cool with that." "(Sighs and chuckles) I mean, it's a little unorthodox." "But if you wanna serve antelope at the wedding," "I say I'm game for game." "(Chuckles) No, I said "elope."" "Oh, cantaloupe." "It's refreshing but not an entree." "Elope." "Got it." "Goin' down." "(Thud)" " Aah!" " Ay!" "So..." "Penny took that hardwood floor to the head like a boss, huh?" "Pete was joking before, right?" "We will have a wedding, right?" "I was promised a wedding." "Oh, no." "Here comes Bride Kong." "Frankenbride." "Creature from the Bride Lagoon." "(Lowered voice) You're looking for Bridezilla." "(Gasps)" " That is good!" "(Whispers)" " Yeah." "Dave was a total Bridezilla planning our wedding." "No, I was just passionate." " Would you call Jonas Salk "Poliozilla"?" " Hmm?" "Or George Clooney "Darfurzilla"?" "Or the founder of the real estate site Zillow," " "Zillowzilla"?" " Not good examples." "I was not a Bridezilla, all right." "And even if I was, I would be called a Groomzilla." ""Groomzilla" is not a word because it never needed to exist before." "Oh, okay, so now I'm the bad guy 'cause I wanted to have an elegant Timberlake/Biel-style wedding, while you wanted to walk down the aisle carrying a bouquet of fireworks." "Look, man, I was just trying to put asses in the seats." "You wanted to have a baby animal petting zoo at the reception." "It's better than your idea-- having a band?" "Look, all I'm saying is," "I wish you would've let me have more say at our wedding." "The caricaturist was your idea." "I still don't going to why you had this place hang yours up." "It's called owning it, dude." " Uh-oh." " Mm." "(Sighs) Hey, you guys." "Ugh." "Pete still wants to elope?" "Apparently, Pete's dumb brother and his dumb fiancee got so caught up in wedding details that they lost sight of what's important." " So Pete wants to get married on a beach..." " Oh!" "just the two of us..." "(Brad groans) with only the sounds of waves crashing and our hearts beating." " Monster." "He's a monster." "(Max)" " Mm." "No, Pete wants a wedding." "He just doesn't know it yet." "(Sighs) There is a Valentine's Day weekend wedding expo downtown today." "(Gasps) Okay, we're gonna take Pete there, and I'm gonna change his mind, or they don't call me "bitch" behind my back." "(Whispers)" " She knows." "(Whispers)" " I know." "This expo is going to blow Pete's mind." "There is free food, free drinks, free giveaways." " Giveaways?" "!" " Oh, I'm in!" " Let's all go!" " I was already planning on going." " What?" " Wait." "Is this gonna be a classic group gang hang?" "(All) Yeah!" "(Giggling)" "(Gasps) Oh." "Sorry." "Uh..." "(Sniffs)" "Okeydokey, lee ia-coke-ies." "Now the individual tickets don't get you all the free stuff, so I had to get you couples passes, all right?" "(Gasps)" " Ooh." " Dave..." "And Alex." "Ugh." "Why do I have to be couples with Dave?" "Because you are couples with Dave." "But it's gonna be a nightmare being with Bridezilla for this thing." "No." "Today, I am..." "Chillzilla." "You know what, Al, why don't you take me in there?" "You show me your idea of a perfect wedding." "I'm sure I'll love it." "Okay?" "You guys owe me..." "(Lowered voice) big-time." "How do we owe you?" "That's your boyfriend you chose." " You're dating him." " You guys live in the same house." "Okay." " Max and Brad." "(Penny)" " Oh!" "Um... wait." "Why aren't I couples with you?" "Oh, because I got this special VIP wedding planner pass, and that turns me on sexually in a way no man ever could." "Pardon?" "I mean, I have to help Penny convince Pete to have a wedding." "Come on, Boo." "It's not like you never thought about it, Harvey chocolate milk." "I never thought about it." "(Gasps) Okay, backstory." "(Pats back)" "You've pined after me for years." "My only previous interracial relationship was with a Basque, but it ended because for a separatist, he was quite clingy." "Wait." "You really got Pete to come?" "Of course, because he loves... (Reggae music playing)" " Reggae." " Reggae." "Looks like this reggae fest is a wedding expo." " You lied to him?" " Okay, I did not know he was gonna come in like he just shot the sheriff." "Not bad, right?" "Yes." "(Chuckles)" " Pete, before you decide to elope..." " Mm." "why don't you let Penny and I show you what your wedding could be?" "No pressure." "It's totally your call." "I don't want to feel like you have to... wear that rasta beret one more minute." "Well, obviously, it means a lot to you both, so... let's expo." " Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Thank you!" "Thank you!" " Yeah!" "You're welcome." "And I swear, we will go to reggae fest just as soon as this is over." "Yah, we be jammin', mon." "There be no reggae fest, Pete." "(Dave) It's spectacular." "(Alex) Yeah." "It's amazing." "So classic." "So unforgettable." "I mean, that's the kind of thing that makes an entire wedding." "Oh, undoubtedly." "That is one magnificent shan-dell-yay-- or, as the unwashed masses call it, chandelier." "No, no, I meant that." "(Laughs) Bouncy house." "The bride and the groom can have their first bounce in it." "So, Dave, what do ya think?" "Huh?" "Would you be cool with having a bouncy house at a wedding?" "No, I would not." " I knew it." " I would, however, be cool with having two bouncy houses at a wedding-- one for the bride's family, one for the groom's family." "That way, there's twice the amount of bounce floors to tear up." "(Whispers) Chillzilla!" "That future baby booth was a sham, bro." "There's no way our kids would look like this." "(Laughs) It looks like black chunk." "It looks like the third Gumbel Brother-- yitzak Gumbel." "Ha!" "Whoa, Max." "Check out Gay Town over there." "Oh. (Sighs) Very nice, Brad." "Why is it Gay Town?" "'Cause it's two handsome, well-dressed, in-shape guys?" "You've heard of colorblindness, right?" "Well, I wish you had sexual blindness." "Actually, no, I don't." "That is a real disease." "I did a run/walk for it." "I mostly walked, but, you know, my presence was felt." "Max." "It is Gay Town." " Yeah." " It's a classic Max knee-jerk reaction, followed by a classic Max false apology." "Brad..." "(Whispers) I am so sorry." "(Whispers) Forgiven." "Let's go to Gay Town!" "(Giggles)" " Hey, Jane?" " Yeah, Penny?" " Did you hear the news?" " What news?" " Pete doesn't like weddings." " What?" "!" "Well, I didn't like Korean spas till I learned the phrase" ""I don't want to bleed today" in Korean, and now I love 'em!" "Prepare to be dazzled by all the wedding possibilities." "Like what kind of cake do you want?" "Vanilla?" "Ugh." "Chocolate?" "Shut up." "Red velvet?" "That's just chocolate with food coloring, ya dumb moron." "Why have one of those when you could have... (Singsongy) a chicken wing cake?" "!" "(Singsongy) Or a bleu cheese fountain?" "!" "Mmm, mmm, mmm!" "Yum!" "Yum!" "Mmm!" "That is latex paint and it is for display only." "Excuse me." "And no wedding would be complete without music." "Mmm, that's my cue." "Mm-hmm." "String quartet?" "A DJ?" "(Reggae music playing)" "Red red wine-not have a reggae band?" "I know you love reggae." "I learned that today." "I do love reggae and I do love chicken wings." "Then you are gonna love dinner, 'cause it's neither." " Hey, Pen?" " What, Jane?" "What's for dinner?" "Ooh, that's a good question." "Thought you'd never ask." "Steak?" "Pasta?" "How about sushi?" "And how about it served by a pretty lady?" "No, ya dope!" "Let's serve it on a pretty lady." " Ooh!" " Oh, ho!" "Maybe I've been a little too hard on weddings." "(Slaps hand) I think she's a little too pretty." "No offense." "I mean, you wouldn't want you at your wedding, right?" "I actually eloped." "Weddings are kinda crazy." "And that's enough out of you, ya human platter." "Big finish!" "And that's... (Jane and Penny, singsongy) the end." "Okay, Dave, you're gonna love this." "(Gasps) Ta-da!" "An underwater wedding." "You always said you look great in a one-piece." "I just don't understand why they're not acceptable for men anymore." " Uh-huh." " But a scuba wedding would be... delightful, Alex." " Really?" " I love it." "Uch." "All right, Dave, you win." "Even I think this is a stupid idea." "But I gotta hand it to you." "You are being very chill." "Let's go get a char-dog." "Chillzilla." "(Gasps)" "Beige napkins." "This is the exact shade I wanted for our wedding." "Urg." "What?" "Beige napkins are pretty." "Yeah, they're great." "They're great." "You know, you could even put them at every place setting, folded in the shape of a middle finger, because that is the message you are sending to your guests with beige napkins, because beige has no place at a wedding!" "(Gasps) Dave." "Out of the way, yuppies!" "There it is." "Check out all this free stuff." "How you feelin' Gay Town now, Boo?" "Lovin' it." "Lovin' you." "Lovin' us. (Laughs)" "(Gasps) And this is my favorite line of bath products." "You guys are totally an adorable couple." "You are so cute." "You're like Paul Giamatti and Tyson Beckford." " Oh, yeah!" " Right?" "But wait." "He doesn't look like Paul Gia" "(Clears throat) Oh." "So, um, we would like some things for our welcome bags for our 300-plus guests, who are all tastemakers and online reviewers and style icons, etcetera, etcetera." "(Inhales deeply)" " Right, hon-bun?" " Mmm!" "Hmm?" "Mnh-mnh." "Elton and David would just eat these soap balls up." "(Gasps) Elton..." " John?" "Okay." " John?" "Okay." "And by the scent of these, you know who else would love them?" " Barney Frank." " Frank." "(Whispers) Barney Frank." "(Squeaks)" "People don't think so, but Barney Frank is way into the way his body smells." "Okay, you know what?" "Since you guys are such lovebirds, you can take whatever you'd like." "(Giggles) Yay!" "(Laughs)" "Ahem." "(Deep voice) Yeah." "I mean..." "(High-pitched voice) yay!" "(Giggling) Okay." "Okay." "Okay, I'll just take two bags." "(Chuckles)" "(Lowered voice) Okay, you gotta break up with me." "I just got a turnaround." "(Lowered voice) What's a turnaround?" "When two gay guys walk past each other, if they turnaround, it's on." "Ohh. (Chuckles) You just got that?" "Yes!" "I just got a turnaround, so I don't need a you-around." "I am not breaking up with you." "This is a gold mine, man." "What are you talking about?" "We haven't even redeemed our couple's coupon for that awesome nail salon booth run by Tom Petty's cousin Manuel" "Manny Petty's mani-pedis." "Okay." "Fine." "(Gasps loudly)" "Brad!" "You're breaking up with me?" "!" " What?" " And so close to St. Valentine's Day?" "!" "What was that?" "You don't want to get married to me?" "!" "It's just a piece of paper?" "It's about civil rights, sir!" "Which you would know nothing about!" "I'm out of here!" "Just-- just get out of here." "Then your guests write their hopes for you inside the lantern..." "(Gasps) which floats up into the air, lighting the sky with all their loving wishes." "(Gasps) Aw!" "Right, Pete?" "Yeah, that is pretty..." "(High-pitched voice) aw!" " Aw!" " Aw!" "I knew you would come around, Pete." "Oh!" "And... you can have your entire wedding video A-Ha'd." "(Penny laughs) Huh?" "A-Ha!" "Ooh!" "I love that." "♪ Take on me ♪" "♪ as your wedding planner ♪" "♪ take me on ♪" "♪ just have a wedding, Pete ♪" " She's changing the words!" " It's so good." "Excuse me." "Are you guys all alone in this big wedding expo?" "Oh, well" "Marcy Grace." "The wedding planner." "The movie was based on me." "(Gasps) Get out." "(Laughing) Yes." "Mm, back off, poacher." "They're spoken for." "Jane Kerkovich." "Never heard of you." "Or heard of a movie about you." "(Laughs)" "Must be an amateur." "Trust me." "You guys are gonna wanna go with a pro." " Uh-oh." " Might wanna add "-stitute" to that." "As in, uh, "pro-stitute."" "So now it's pronounced pro-stitute?" "I don't know." "Maybe it is." "Let's ask the crowd, huh?" "What?" "!" "(Indistinct conversations)" "Nobody?" " All right." "I'll take this." " Oh." "Oh." "Oh!" "Guys?" "Ladies!" " Give it to me!" " No!" " Jane!" "(Pete)" " Jane." "Jane!" "(Gasps)" "Jane!" "Gonna be a funeral planner!" "Not if you're dead first!" "So you wanna get a big pretzel?" "Penny, this is exactly what I'm talking about." "Weddings make people go crazy." "Hey!" "Watch the sweater, chiklis!" "No, weddings aren't crazy." "Just Jane is crazy." "If having the taste to know that beige napkins are hideous makes me a Bridezilla, then rawr!" "It's not about taste, okay?" "You're selfish, just like at our wedding." "It's always about what you want." "Aw, come on!" "Once again, left at the altar." "Penny... (Sighs) we don't need all this other stuff." "All we need is this, and just you and me." "Isn't that enough?" "I just..." "It's that... (Pats legs) I guess not." "(Sighs) Oh." "Pete... (Sighs)" "Sorry." "Can't do it." "Couples only." "Don't be petty, Manny Petty." "Give me a mani." "Pedi?" "(Sighs)" "Whoa!" "You should've about that couples coupon before you dumped your fiance at a wedding expo." "How could you do that to him?" "Oh." "No." "Guys, you don't understand" "And marriage is just a piece of paper?" "After all that we've fought for?" "You need to stand by your man, coward." "Ah." "Thank you much." "Lots to chew on, guys." "I'm gonna go, uh, think that over." "I'm gonna-- (Sneakers squeak)" "Hey-o!" "(Groans)" "Take him back, or we're gonna pound your ass." "Wait." "Uh... so you're gonna kick my ass or..." " We're gonna kick your ass." " Yes." "Okay." "Thank God!" "(Laughs) Ooh!" "Wait." "That's not good either." "Hey, Penny, I'm just leaving you a message since they won't let me back in." "(Loudly) You lightly bite one security guard and they act like you're a criminal." "(Normal voice) Anyway," "I'm sorry that I left you hanging like that." "I..." "Huh." "Wait a minute." "I just had an idea." "Aah!" "Uhh!" "(Gasps) Ohh!" "I really want a wedding." "I always have." "And as I got older, I started to think that might not happen." "And I think some other people thought that, too." "No..." "almost everybody." "Oh. (Sighs)" "I-I'm making it out of singledom, and I want witnesses to that." "If a Penny gets married in a forest, does anyone hear it?" "I know how you feel, Pen." "I put so much into the planning of my wedding." "I obsessed over everything, from the major decisions down to the smallest detail-- a security company made up entirely of little people."

"Pop." "What the fuck you doing here?" "Huh?" "DOUG:" "Nothing." " Nothing?" "What's this?" " Who're you here with, huh?" " No one." " Let's get out of here." "JEM:" "You're telling me this is yours?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" "Fucking Hawaiian pizza?" " Sit down." " Let's hit the road." " I gotta go." " Sit the fuck down." "Just sit down." "[MUTED SOUND]" " Hi." " Hi." " Hey." " Claire." " I'm Jem." " Jim?" "Jem." "Jem." "It's just Jem, yeah." "I'm friend of this loser right here." " Nice to meet you." " Sit down, sit down, relax." "All right?" "So I saw your fucking Avalanche parked around the corner, so..." "The Avalanche?" " A truck." " Fucking truck." "His work truck right there." " Dougy's quite the worker." " Yeah." "Have you two known each other a long time or...?" "JEM:" "Since we were 6." "We're like brothers." "Right?" "But he's never mentioned a word about you." "The secrets with this one, you know, huh?" "[JEM LAUGHS]" "Did you say your name was Jim or Jem?" "It's Ji..." "Je..." "Well, it's both, actually." "Teachers, when we were growing up, used to always say:" ""Hey, you can have this one." "He's a real gem."" "So I guess it kind of stuck." "Whatever." "I don't know." "So, what do you do for yourself there, Claire?" "Oh, I work at a bank." "I'm a bank manager." "You're a bank manager?" "Sounds fun." "What bank?" "Cambridge Merchants." "Just over there." "Cambridge Merchants." "Wait, that's the one that just got robbed, isn't it?" "It got robbed, yeah." "It did, yeah." "JEM:" "I read about that." "It's crazy." "So then how is it that you two met?" "CLAIRE:" "Um..." "We met at a Laundromat." "Okay." "Love among the bleach, right?" "Hey, it happens more than you think." "Hey, Claire, don't get too used to your life of leisure here." "Dougy here, he's a real workaholic, you know." "He's always taking his work home with him." "Aren't you?" " All right." "DOUG:" "All right, brother." "Take care of yourself, all right?" "Be good." "I'll see you at home." "It was nice to meet you." "You too." "Well, I guess you haven't been telling all your friends about me." "Who you following, Jem?" "Me or her?" "I told you, I made the Avalanche." "Nothing to worry about." "It's all under control." "Oh, so you're trying to get us jammed up?" " Is that it?" " I'm trying to get you jammed up." "Tell me you got a move here, Dougy." "Because the only way I see it is you got sprung like a goddamn bear trap on some toonie pussy who happens to be the one goddamn person..." "Fuck!" "The one person that can give us to the fucking feds." "Calm down, all right?" "Don't you think we need to be smart right now?" " Smart?" " Yeah." "Let's start fucking all the witnesses." "All right?" "Yeah, I'm blowing the assistant manager." "Am I smart now?" "Huh?" "And no, I didn't tell the other guys, only because they'd flip the fuck out." "And I want them fucking ready for the next thing." "I told you, the next fucking thing's not ready." "Then make it ready." "I don't like the guards on the next thing, all right?" "One kid is like fucking G.I. Joe." "He wears the vest on the outside, tucks his pants into his fucking combat boots." "The truck's fucking waist-high." "We'll find another truck with a driver who's a fucking fat kid with his fucking shit untucked who don't think he's Special Forces." " Yeah?" "All right, look, I know you're happy in Fuck City over there but I waited nine years in Walpole for you, motherfucker." "Just nine years, that's all." "I'm done waiting." "This is the last one." "We're hitting pause after this." "We get pinched, remember whose idea this was, okay?" "Be ready on Friday." "MAN [OVER SPEAKER]:" "Visitors, straight ahead." " Who you seeing?" " Stephen MacRay." "[DOOR BUZZES]" "LENNY:" "Twelve." " Right down there." " Thanks, Lenny." "You all right?" "Every time I come up here now it's the red pajamas." "You still getting in trouble, Dad?" "Hey, you know how it is." "I can't take no shit." "You're getting a little old for that bullshit, aren't you?" "Fucking Southie kids." "They wanna run everything." "Listen, you put a year together of good behavior and get your points down you get classed out over to Norfolk, Dad." "No one's gonna bother you there." "Nobody fights, you know?" "They got fucking Ben Jerry's ice cream and shit." "Well, some things you gotta deal with yourself, you know?" "All right." "I'm thinking about taking a trip." " Going dark for a minute." " Taking heat?" "Nah, just making a change." "Yeah, don't tell me." ""Making a change."" "Either you got heat or you don't." "I heard a bread truck got dropped." "Oh, yeah?" "I didn't hear about it." "Okay." "MAN:" "You got five minutes." "Five minutes." "DOUG:" "Let me ask you something." "In case I don't see you again." "[BOTH CHUCKLE]" "How come you never...?" "How come you never looked for her?" "Uh..." "Looked for who?" "For Ma." "For my mother." "How come you never looked for her?" "How come you never tried to call nobody, or look for her, or ask around?" "Look, when your mother left you cried so hard, you were throwing up." "All over the parlor." "So I told you if you looked around you might find her." "Just to give you an activity." "I didn't think you'd carry it like a fucking disease." "What, you wanna think she was an angel?" "Go ahead." "But look out your front door." "How many 22-year-old girls are out there they're fucking around with kids they don't want and, you know, no sense in their heads." "And your mother wasn't no different." "That's the hard truth." "I made my peace with it." "You make yours." "I didn't look for her because there was nothing to find." "Look, I gotta die five times before I get out of here but I'll see you again." "This side or the other." "CLAIRE:" "So I saw your picture yesterday." " Are you sure it was me?" " Yeah, I'm pretty sure." " Oh, the Boys Girls Club?" " Yeah." "It was under a "local heroes" banner." "Yeah." "They got a real low standard for who qualifies on that." "Apparently you were drafted." "Yeah." "I was slow." "And I couldn't skate backwards." "You're supposed to be able to skate backwards in pro hockey." "But I could shoot, you know?" "I could hit anything with a hockey puck." "But I got drafted and I just didn't do what it took to make the team." "And when I got a second chance, I blew that too." "They sent me home and that was it." "I look at that picture and I see a 20-year-old kid who thinks he's, you know, got it all figured out." "Right before he's about to throw it all away." "Hey, I don't wanna rush anything, but can we go into your room?" "Because my uncle the bus driver lives right across the way and he can see right into this apartment." " Yes." " Okay." "[PLANE ENGINE DRONING]" "MAN [ON RADIO]:" "They win in overtime." "You flip it over." "Then you go back to Fenway Park." "Then you get another great ending to another..."

"I got you, motherfucker." "[WOMAN SCREAMS]" "DOUG:" "Jesus!" "JEM:" "You should've stayed in the truck, cunt." "Let's go!" "GLOANS:" "What the fuck just happened?" "DOUG:" "Goddamn it, I fucking told you." "JEM:" "Fucking shut the fuck up, all right?" "DOUG:" "Fucking knew it." "JEM:" "Goddamn it!" "DOUG:" "All right." "Take it easy, all right?" "Take it easy."

"Just find something and make it look like something that looks like a print." "We don't have enough for a conviction." "Fine." "But I need to get them in a room." "Right now, they are burning the money bands at some bullshit safe house." "All their alibis were paid for a week in advance." "We're not gonna pull any DNA off of this or off the switch car." "And that, as they say, is that." "This is the "not fucking around" crew." "Find me something that looks like a print so I can grab one of these assholes and shake their tree." "This "not fucking around" thing is about to go both ways." "Turn around for me, will you?" "Go ahead, just read what's on that paper." ""Come here, get on the ground, before I pop your fucking teeth out!"" "Come on, read it." "Read it all." "There's about five things there." "Uh..." "What is it with you guys in Charlestown?" "Don't they teach you how to read?" "There's things here." "Read them." "I don't wanna read that." "This doesn't sound right." "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you." "Read the pages, please." "I'm trying to make this sound authenticious." " You got it all fucked up." " Authen-what?" "DOUG:" "Thanks." " Hey, Dougy." "How are you?" "DOUG:" "Oh." "How you doing?" "Local crime fighter." "What's happening, Dino?" "I know your father." "Yeah." "Me too." "Got a few years left on his bid." "Yeah, one or two." "I hear they got to the old guy." "Split him up the back." "Fucking animals." "You'd think they'd go after a younger kid." "I don't know." "Making a statement, I guess." "Townie crews ain't what they used to be." "Dorchester Southie looking to make a move." "Maybe you can change all that when you get up there." "Let me ask you a question." "What do you call a guy who grows up with a group of people, gets to know their secrets because they trust him, and then turns around and use those secrets against them, put those people in prison?" "You'd call him a rat, right?" "You know what I call him?" "Dino the dago." "Those people made you a part of that community." "What did they get for it?" "Inside of the fucking can." "You know we lifted a print off the van?" "Right?" "Special Agent Frawley Douglas MacRay." "FRAWLEY:" "You and your boys didn't just..." "[IN TOWNIE ACCENT] ...roll a Star Market in Malden for a box of quarters." "[IN NORMAL VOICE] You decided to bang it out in the North End at 9:00 in the morning." "With assault rifles." "You fucking dummies shot a guard." "Now you're like a half-off sale at Big and Tall." "Every cop is in line." "Fortunately, though, for you this guard, who is two-thirds to a retard has miraculously clung to life." "Now, if it were up to me and they gave me two minutes and a wet towel I would personally asphyxiate this half-wit so we could string you up on a federal M1 and end this story with a bag on your head and a paralyzing agent running through your veins." "This isn't fucking townie hopscotch anymore, Doug." "But I did want to say one thing." "You're here today so I could personally tell you that you are going to die in federal prison." "And so are all your friends." "No deal." "No compromise." "And when that day comes when you start trying to be my hero collaborator so hard that I have to slap you to shut up..." "And it will come despite your pitiable, misguided, Irish omerta." " When your code of silence finally gives way to fear of trafficking in cigarettes to prevent sexual enslavement I just want you to know that it's gonna be me who tells you to go fuck yourself." "Hey, next time you guys wanna take pictures of me, just call ahead." "You know, we can do better than a barbeque." "A calendar shoot." "You know?" "Maybe topless, lubed up." "Whatever you guys are into." "FBI car antennas are half-inch matte black about three-quarters the way down the rear windshield." "Statie are pigtailed B.P.D., half and half."

"Well, what are you gonna do?" "You know what?" "I don't know." "I can teach, volunteer full-time." "I have a little saved." "So..." "What if I told you I was gonna quit my job too?" "Well, then I guess I'd have company." "We'd do it together." "Here." "It's just a necklace, that's all." "Why don't we go away together." "Take a trip for a minute, you know?" "Something like that." "You know, just fun." "Doug." "Is it right?" "Took me forever trying to pick it." " Arguing with the lady, and..." " It's beautiful, but it..." "Well, as long as you didn't, you know, sell your truck." "Someone took over the payments." "You know, people get up every day tell themselves they're gonna change their lives." "They never do." "I'm gonna change mine." "Why don't you do it with me." "Okay, well, where would we go?" "Come with me, I don't care." "We could go wherever you want." "I mean, you know, there's things..." "There's a few things you still don't know about me." "What do you mean?" "Nothing." "I just understand if you have some reservations, you know?" "Between the kind of things people say about me and the things I'm not proud of, don't leave a lot of room." "I know who you are." "You do?" "Yeah, I do." "Yeah." "Does that mean you want to go with me?" "Yeah." "Let's start now." "Okay." "DINO:" "Frawl." " What is it?" " Phone conversation between Claire Keesey and a burner cell about an hour ago." "See if you can recognize the voice." "DOUG:" "Hey, can I come over?" "I want to talk to you." "CLAIRE:" "Yeah." "Where have you been?" "DOUG:" "Sorry, I got held up." "I'm coming over from my place." "Will you come down the back and let me in?" "FRAWLEY:" "Hadn't realized you'd left your job at the bank." "CLAIRE:" "Uh..." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah." "Last week." "I'm sorry, was I supposed to notify someone?" "Fancy." "Yeah." "It was a gift." "We have our suspects." "I came by to share this with you." "James Coughlin." "Albert Magloan." "Desmond Elden." "Part of a crew that we tied into the bank job at North End and at least three other armored car robberies." "Look familiar?" "You opened the safe for him." "He left you unharmed." "And now the two of you are carrying on a relationship about which you lied to the FBI." "I was wrong." "You do need a lawyer." "DOUG:" "Something wrong with the apartment?" "JEM:" "No." "Florist." "Florist?" "What?" "Came through." " Oh, Jesus Christ." " It's large, Dougy." " It's large." " We're smoked." "Punt it." "Look, pick up an extra guy." "All right?" "Or go with three guys." "Or fucking be smart and boot it." "Oh, so you're not going?" "No." "And why's that?" "Because we got a ton of heat on us, for one thing." "We'll put a move on." "We've done it a hundred times." "You know what?" "Forget it." "Do what you want to do." "I'm done." " What?" "What?" " I'm done." " You're done?" " What does it sound like?" " I don't know." "What's that mean?" " What you think it means?" "What does that mean?" "Sounds like a bunch of bullshit." "Let me put it to you this way:" "I'm putting this whole fucking town in my rear-view." "There's people I can't let you walk away from." "What?" "Who?" "Come on." "Are you serious, Jimmy?" "She's not my kid." "Did she tell you it was?" "I mean, come the f..." "Cut it out." "All you give a fuck about is coke and Xbox now you're trying to play it off like you care about Shyne?" "Know what your problem is?" "You think you're better than people." "Mr. Fucking-Clean." "Mr. Fucking-Goddamn-High-and-Mighty." "I'm better than all these people." "I'm better than everybody." "But you grew up right here." "Same rules that I did." "Who the fuck you think you are?" "You aren't letting me or not letting me do shit, all right?" "Here's a little cheat sheet for you." "It's never gonna be me and you and your sister and Shyne fucking playing house up there." "All right?" "You got it?" "Get that in your fucking head!" "I'm tired of your one-way fucking bullshit." "If you wanna see me again, come down and visit me in Florida." "JEM:" "Cunt." "In the 302 feds have me dropping Brendan right here." "I got him back on Tibbetts." "Fucking guy ran 100 yards with a bullet in his heart, Dougy." "I mean, the fucking guy should've ran track." "You know what I'm saying?" "I didn't ask you to do that." "Yeah, well, you didn't have to, Dougy." "Come on." "They told me Brendan was coming down here to roll up on you with a Glock 21." "So I came over here, and I put him in the fucking ground." "Did nine years for it." "Now, you don't gotta thank me but you're not walking away." "I'm grateful for everything you done for me." "Your family took me in when my father went away." "You're like a brother to me." "But I'm leaving." "Gonna shoot me?" "Go ahead." "But you're gonna have to shoot me in the back." " Don't get up." " All right." "How you doing, Fergie?" "Listen, just wanted to stop by and tell you myself whatever this thing is you got going on I think my guys can handle it without me." "You know what I mean?" "I wouldn't hire them without you." "And I wouldn't hire you without them." "You're a unit." "Look, with all due respect, I didn't come here for a debate." "I'm not doing it." "So, you know, work it out however you can." "I..." "Calm down." "Okay?" "It goes against my better judgment but just out of respect, smooth things over just take this for it, all right?" "Not gonna cut it." "Do you think I'm gonna put Joe Flipperhead on this?" "You're gonna do what I ask." "DOUG:" "Not gonna cut it, huh?" "Okay." "Let me ask you something." "Who the fuck do you think you are?" "The only guy in Charlestown with a gun?" "You guys run numbers and pump dope." "You're an old guy who don't know his glory years are behind him." "I ain't fucking working for you." "Got it?" "You got a problem with that, I live at 551 Bunker Hill Street." "Stop by anytime." "You know where to find me." "You're gonna do this for me or I'm gonna clip your nuts like I clipped your daddy's." "Don't talk about my father." "Son, I knew your daddy." "He worked for me for years." "Years." "Then he wanted his own thing." "You play the horses?" "You know, they either geld a horse with a knife or with the chemicals." "When your daddy said no to me I did him the chemical way." "Gave your mother a taste." "Put the hook into her." "She doped up good and proper." "Hung herself with a wire on Melnea Cass." "And you?" "Running around the neighborhood, looking for her." "Your daddy didn't have the heart to tell his son that he was looking for a suicide doper who was never coming home." "If there's a heaven, son, she ain't in it." "Oh." "I hear you got a nice, sweet new girlfriend." "Lives on the park." "I don't want to send her funeral arrangement to your house but I will if I have to." "Now I know where to find you." "DOUG:" "Claire." "Claire?" " Hey." " Get out." "You okay?" " Get out." " Hold on one second." "I have this on 911." "All right, you need to give me a chance to explain myself first." "Okay?" "No." "You had a chance." "Who talked to you?" "The FBI, Doug." "You have to listen to me." "You have to let me explain this." "You understand?" " There's a lot going on here, Claire..." " No, you go to fucking hell!" " Fucking hell." " All right, all right." "DOUG:" "All right." "All right." "Easy, now." "Why did you do this to me?" "Claire, I'm sorry." "Okay?" "I was gonna tell you." "I came over here that night to tell you." "What, the night you fucked me?" "Is that your thing?" "It's not enough to terrorize someone, you have to fuck them too?" " Listen to me." "Calm down, okay?" " No." "No." "Get out." "Get out!" "You don't ever let me see you again." "Never, never." "[SOBBING]" "DOUG:" "All right." "I'm in." "But if anything happens to her if I think anything might happen to her I'm coming back here." "And I'm gonna kill both of you in your own shop." "DOUG:" "Hey, Claire?" "I just wanna talk to you, just for two minutes." "Okay?" "Come on." "Claire, I would never hurt you." "I don't know what you would..." "Don't fucking touch me." "All right." "I'm sorry." "Just listen to me for a second, all right?" "I will never lie to you again." " Really?" " Yes, I promise you." "Ask me anything you want." "I'll tell you the truth." " Why?" "I won't believe you." " Yes, you will." "Why?" "Because you'll fucking hate the answers." "You knew I was the manager in the bank?" " Yup." " Were you following me?" " Yes." " How many banks have you robbed?" "Six trucks, two banks." "Have you ever killed anyone?" "No." "Think about it." "All right?" "I will never lie to you, I will never hurt you and if I lose you, I will regret that for the rest of my life." "Just wait for me." "FERGIE:" "You know, it's funny." "I can see your daddies' faces in you." "All of youse." "Reminds me I'm still in the ring." "Still taking the punches." "Still ahead on points." "Now, I have a fellow on the inside there." "He likes to play the ponies." "Has a gambling sickness." "He couldn't pick a horse to save his fucking life." "But courtesy of this sick man I have this." "Hm?"

"It doesn't mean you're getting fucked, though." "You gotta chase the rabbit if you want the tail." "My mom taught me that." "You used to hang around with Doug MacRay a little bit, huh?" "How do you know Dougy?" "We sort of work together." "Sand and Gravel?" "No." "No, no." "You a pretty decent judge of size?" "Depends." "Size of what?" "FRAWLEY:" "How big would you say that is?" "Six inches?" "Over or under?" "Under." "Wrong." "6.14 inches exactly." "I know everything there is to know about money." "Thickness:0043 inches." "Weight:" "About one gram."

"Bartender gets a call you pick up a package at point A, deliver it to point B the Florist gives you C?" "You're thinking of running out on me." "It's not that simple." "Because, you see I start waving this around in here bad for you." "I want a lawyer." "Good." "Get one." "I mean, it's all about protecting yourself, right?" "Not even yourself." "Your daughter." "Don't talk about my daughter." "How long were you with MacRay?" "All my life." "In all those years that you were together how many diamond necklaces did he give you?" "JEM:" "All right, the tools are set." "Got our body armor." "DOUG:" "You know, this thing goes right could be your turn to step away too." "Yeah." "Sure." "What am I gonna do, Dougy, huh?" "Go down to Margaritaville drink me half a yard and fall off fucking bar stools?" "Do me a favor." "The weight of this thing pack a parachute at least."

"You can't be bringing your kid in here, you got it?" "You can't stay." "I don't wanna stay, I wanna go with you." " I wanna change too, Dougy." " Christ." "Why the fuck can't I change?" "I could be a different person." "Jesus Christ." "You tell me what you want me to do." "I'll be whoever you want me to be." "I'm leaving with somebody else." "Oh, yeah?" "DOUG:" "Yeah." "Why isn't she here then?" "Come on." "What do you want me to tell you?" "She's going away with you, why isn't she here?" "Where is she?" "She's not here." " Such a trashy little fuck pad."

"She hit me with one of them exploding nutsack techniques." "Oh, come on, Granddad." "She's not a kung fu master." "She's crazy." "Shit." "Then you go kick her ass out." "But this is your responsibility." "Hey." "I'm willing to stay in the bathroom all night." "Where you going?" "You two just... stay here." "Okay." "I gotta use the bathroom anyway."

"I had heard there were no White Lotus masters left alive." "Mm." "Hm!" "Maybe you would like a demonstration?" "What about a... friendly sparring match?" "Oh." "That sounds perfect." "Ew." "Let's... get out while we can." "I can't believe I let that big old woman come into my house and try to destroy my place." "You have to relax, Granddad." "How am I supposed to relax?" "The woman is a trained killer." "Know the story of Brenda Richie?" "Lionel Richie's wife?" "No-ho-ho-ho." "Lionel Richie's ex-wife." "It was 1988, and Brenda Richie had just caught Lionel in bed with his future ex-white-wife, Diana Alexander." "Huh?" "Huh?" "What the fuck?"

"I'm so stupid." "Why did I do that?" "!" "Okay." "Let's hear the story one more time." "Okay, let me get this right, now." "My cousin, Elliot, in California passed away very suddenly while working out." "And" " And, uh, they think it's a heart attack." "Uh, they're not sure." "We weren't very close." "Yeah, let's say that." "We weren't very close." "But I need to fly out immediately to support my family members." "Uh, yeah." "Good." "If that don't work," "We gonna have to shoot that bitch." "Sure she gonna believe that?" "Granddad, the story's fine." "Under no circumstances do you change that story." "Got it?" "Fidel Castro?" "Oh, yeah." "Me and Fidel go way back." "I used to call him Fee-Diddy." "Heh-heh-heh." "But you know what I forgot?" "Today is Fidel Castro's birthday." "And I'm in charge of the birthday party." "So I gotta fly out there." "But I forgot" " Stupid me." "I forgot to buy some balloons." "So Jay-Z is gonna loan me some, then fly me to Cuba for Fidel Castro's birthday party that I'm planning, like I said earlier." "Eh-heh." "Yeah." "Wow." "I thought you were gonna tell me you thought I was crazy, and you didn't want to see me again, like the others." "No, girl." "That's not at all what I was gonna say." "I'm enjoying this time with you." "Are you kidding?" "I'm not blowing you off." "Oh, no way." "In fact, I was just telling Huey." "I would love to pursue a romantic relationship you." "Definitely." "I'll call you as soon as I get back..." "from Cuba." "And Fidel." "Aw." "You are such a cutie." "Bye." "Don't come back too soon." "Maybe about 30 years." "To no more weekend visits by crazy Internet women." "I really thought you blew it there with the Fidel Castro story." "When he wanna be, your granddaddy is a master of deception." "Fidel Castro's birthday?" "That shit don't sound right." "You think he was lying?" "All I know is you drove all them hours to spend time with him, and he gonna send you home early?" "I don't give a fuck if it was Jesus' birthday." "He said he'd invite me back soon." "Soon?" "Pfft!" "When is soon?" "Remember when Kenny said soon?" "Remember when Jamal said soon?" "Did any of them niggas call you back?" "You're right." "And just so you know," "I Googled Fidel Castro's birthday." "It isn't until August 13th." "He lied to me." "Mm-hm." "You see, girl?" "That's why I'm by myself." "Love the vibrator." "You better not get rid of it." "First of all, if a woman is over 35 years old and she ain't married, then she must be nutty as squirrel shit." "But everything else was so right." "And by everything else, I mean her looks." "She was fine." "She couldn't look that good." "She was black." "But I guess if you put lipstick and a wig on a monkey, it could look good too." "A monkey in lipstick and a wig." "I found him." "He's in a park with another man." "Ooh, see." "What did I tell you?" "See?" "That's exactly why I don't have a man." "Because all these niggas is gay." "No." "They're just playing checkers." "Ooh." "What, girl?" "How his friend look?" "Black women just crazy." "It's all that stuff they do to their hair." "Straighteners and relaxers and activators and tight braids." "Still look like a ape with a pretty head of hair." "I don't think his friend likes the sisters too much." "Ha!" "Heh." "Oh" " Oh!" "Isn't that a surprise?" "That's exactly why I don't have a man now." "Shh." "Well, I was really hoping it would work out with this one." "Me too, baby." "Oh, well." "At least I got that crazy bitch out of my house." "Ooh, what happened, girl?" "What did he say?" "He told his friend I'm crazy." "He said, "Luna was crazy. "" "Mm..." "You know what you should do?" "Kidnap and torture his ass." "How about that?" "He going around calling people crazy?" "Oh, we gonna show that nigga just who crazy." "Granddad." "Granddad, you home?" "Hey." "Where's Granddad?" "He's not here." "I'll call his cell." "His phone's dead." "Don't worry, boys." "I just want to have a friendly chat with your grandfather about honesty." "No." "Luna." "I told you we should have shot that bitch." "?" "Oh, she's gone She's gone?" "?" "She's gone Yes, she is?" "?" "She's gone-?" "I'm tapping out." "Uh" " I'm" " I'm tapping..." "Shh." "Just go to sleep." "Why did you lie to me, Robert?" "You're just like the others." "Uh, what lie?" "You know what lie." "Oh, you mean the Fidel Castro, Jay-Z birthday party lie?" "Look, everybody lies." "I love it when people lie to me." "It means they care enough to spare my feelings." "I heard you tell your friend I was crazy." "Is that what you think?" "You think I'm crazy?" "Is that why you wanted me to leave?" "Uh..." "Do not lie to me!" "Hello?" "You got him, girl?" "Yeah." "I got him." "Now, remember, none of this was your fault." "This man took your weekend from you." "Two days you'll never get back." "You gotta kill him." "It's Tom." "Right on time." "Tom." "Tom." "Hey, Tom." "Either of you make a sound," "I will butt-rape your grandfather with this broomstick." "Boys, don't make any noise." "Shh." "Oh, hi." "Ha-ha." "You must be Robert's weekend visitor, Luna." "I'm Tom." "May I speak to Robert or the boys, please?" "They're not in." "I'll tell them you stopped by." "Can I, um, use the bathroom?" "There something wrong with your bathroom?" "Um, this might seem strange, but, uh, heh, do you think maybe." "I can come in and inspect the house?" "Inspect the house." "Oh, jeez." "Well, ha, this is awkward, but, um, how do I do this?" "Okay." "Uh, it" " It's just that I got an e-mail from Huey this morning, and it reads:" ""Dear Tom, my granddad kicked a woman named Luna-"" "That would be you, heh-heh." ""- out, and she may return and murder the whole family." ""Please check on us periodically this weekend." ""Best regards, Huey Freeman." "If she says we're not in, please ask to search the house." "We may be locked in our rooms. "" "Oh, me and Robert patched things up." "Yeah, I am so sure that's true." "It's just that he goes on to say:" "There's absolutely no chance my granddad patched things up with this woman. "" "I see." "And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." "Uh, be careful, she's very danger-"" "Whoa!" "Flawless victory." "Luna, this has gone far enough." "Leave Tom out of this." "But leave me out of this first." "Let me go." "I was falling in love with you, Robert." "You're just like all the others." "What others?" "Who are these others?" "And so she told them the very, very, very sad story of Luna." "I was raised in a broken and abusive household." "Bitch, this chicken is cold." "When I turned 17, I ran away to Hong Kong, where I met Triad boss Kenny Woo, my first love." "Bitch, this chicken is cold." "After that, I had one terrible relationship after another." "I suffered every kind of abuse imaginable." "Verbal." "I told you not to wash my bloody ski mask with detergent because it irritates my fucking eczema!" "Spiritual." "Look at you." "Nobody wants you but me." "You ain't shit without me." "You without me equals shit." "You understand that, you ugly, fat bitch?" "Now, let me borrow your car." "And there was that summer I dated Jim Brown..." "Okay." "Okay, we get it." "You had a lot of bad relationships." "Maybe you should go see a therapist." "This isn't my fault." "My friend Nicole says it's men like you, Robert, who lie and avoid commitment." "If I could just find a man to love me." "Damn it, Luna." "Stop being a victim." "I lied to get you out of the house 'cause I was afraid you'd do something like this." "And look." "I was right." "Don't take your past out on other people." "That's the first step to a lonely life." "And what was it about you that made you keep dating those kind of men?" "And you can't kidnap people just because they don't like you." "It's not a good look, Luna." "Oh, you're right." "I didn't even wanna kidnap you." "I was listening to my stupid girlfriend, Nicole." "Oh." "I'm never gonna get married." "I might as well just blow myself up right now." "No!" "Wait." "Luna, you have another choice." "You a beautiful, talented woman." "And once you let go of the past, you'll be able to have any man you want." "I don't know." "Are you sure I shouldn't just blow myself up?" "No!" "Luna, it's like the great Tae Bo master." "Billy Blanks always says:" ""Take control of your life." "Take responsibility. "" "Put the grenade away and go home." "You're right." "I should take responsibility." "You got him, girl?" "No." "Everything's okay, Nicole." "He told me I should take responsibility and let go of the past." "So you do all of that, he gonna marry you then?" "Hm." "You know what?" "He didn't say." "Ooh, Luna." "That means no." "Oh, my God, girl." "I am so sorry." "You told this man your life story, and he just ditched you like that?" "If a man said that to me, oh, my God," "I don't think I could handle it." "I would just freaking die." "And that was the day Ms. Luna decided to take responsibility for her own actions." "She still there?" "Why ain't she leaving?" "Maybe she's still talking to her friend." "Well, I hope her friend isn't giving her more bad..." "Whoa!" "Um, okay." "Then that was the day" "Ms. Luna let her girlfriend talk her into blowing herself up instead of taking responsibility for her own actions." "This weekend sucked." "And it was all your fault, Granddad." "Wasn't my fault." "It was that crazy-ass Luna's fault for not taking responsibility." "God rest her poor soul." "Hello?" "Hello?" "What was that noise?" "Anyway, like I said, girl, if a man ever said that to me, I'll kill myself." "I mean, you're a stronger woman than me." "Hello?" "Hello?" "A life without a man to take care of your ass ain't worth living." "So go back in there, girl, and torture him until he proposes." "That's what you need to do."

"It's only been less than one month, and we've retreated again and again!" "Sir, enemy troops are approximately 10 clicks out and closing in." "Gentlemen, listen to me." "Now, according to our intelligence, the enemies are running out of supplies, so that means that, I think that, we can hold them in this area here." "Fall back!" "Yes, sir." "I hereby ... promise you ..." "on behalf of the 9th Company, that we, the 9th Company, the Iron Pioneers, will be the first ... to charge into the enemy headquarters!" "I, Sun Beichuan, will be right at the front!" " Bravo ... !" "I know your mother doesn't approve of us, because I'm from a bad family." "I'm a spoiled brat from a rich family." "Stop playing." " What?" "Have you talked to your dad about us?" "When this battle is over, I will talk to him." "Normally I wouldn't be so anxious, but I'm worried that I might not be able to make it back to Shanghai." "What do you mean?" "Don't ever talk like that again." "I'm serious." "You've seen what it's like." "Every day, our comrades die ... right before my eyes." "The war is far more horrifying than we thought." "You know what?" "You are not allowed to die without my consent." "You hear me?" "Alright." "But please, tell your father about us." "Alright." "You remember that Soviet movie, where, when the war is won, the Colonel start kissing the Company Commander?" " Yeah, yeah." "I wanna kiss someone too!" " Okay." "Stop this nonsense." "We'll ask Old Dude to load up the Maxim." "You can kiss it as much as you like." "I don't wanna kiss a gun." "I wanna kiss Meng Sanxia." "I only wanna kiss Meng Sanxia." "What's wrong with kissing her?" " Captain Meng!" "What's wrong with kissing her?" "My Da County girl." " I'm not your girl." "Captain Meng, following the command of the Political Division, the 9th Company is sending a squad to protect the Art Troupe." "As for Little Magician, he didn't mean anything." "I had a nice dream last night, that we went back to Da County together." "You fool." "What's the matter?" "Hey, buddy." " What?" "Do me a favor." "What favor?" "Write an apology letter to Meng Sanxia." "Those things have to be written by you." "Never heard of having other people do it." "Just write it." "That's an order." "What do I write?" "Write ..." ""I made a mistake."" ""I won't ever drink again."" "Okay." "And ..." ""I miss you."" "That's it?" "That's it." " Just like that?" "Yeah, what more is there to say?" "Oh, add this:" ""I'll take my heart out and give it to you."" "Nobody writes like that." "Well, you make it sound nice." "I'll start then." " Okay." "Watch the tempo." "Like a volcano eruption moving heaven and earth, the Chinese People's revolution is well underway." "Like thunder and lightning stretching far into the sky, we want to change the way the world works." "The Yellow River and the Yangtze ..." "Comrade Meng Sanxia, how are you?" "I'm aware of my mistake, and how I upset you." "I should be old enough to know what to say." "You know I like you." "I've liked you ever since the first time I saw you." "But I'm such an unrefined man, I don't know how to court you." "I thought drinking would give me guts, but I drank to much ... and started recalling all those comrade couples in famous movies." "Although they are from different backgrounds, they come together to pursue the same dream and way of life, just like us." " Is this an apology or a love letter?" "Well ..." "It was written by you, isn't it?" "I ..." "I only wrote what he wants to say." " Then why didn't he write it himself?" "Because he ..." " I'm going right now... to tell him that I don't accept an apology like this." " Captain Meng, our Commander left with the troops early in the morning." "You can ask around about Commander Sun." "He sometimes says the wrong things, but he's a really decent guy." "There's no one who doesn't like him." " Well, I don't like him!" "Look at yourself, picking your nose in front of other people, with your cap askew and buttons loose, making a whole lot of noise while eating a biscuit, always joking... when you're supposed to be serious." "You have all those bad habits that Sun Beichuan has." "Who would ever like someone like that?" "You'll end up nowhere following his lead!" "You're right." "That's why I'm following you from now on." "So full of shit!" "Comrade Meng Sanxia, I made the mistakes of anarchism, liberalism, over-emphasis of hometown, and talking bullshit!" "I will try hard to right the wrongs." "If I ever bullshit again, I'll have my mouth stitched up." "I'll stop drinking from mow on." "If I drink one drop of alcohol, I'll give you my gun to shoot me in the head." "We are going into a big battle soon." "The authorities have sent Big Daddy and Little Magician... to stay with your Art Troupe." "They will make sure nothing happens to you." "Sanxia, hold your chest high ... there's nothing to be afraid of." "Tell that to your Troupe." "Don't be afraid." "The Volunteer Army strategizes to push South, aiming straight for the enemy headquarters." "As the 9th Company and the Art Troupe enter this town, the U.S. Army tightens its grip on it." "A siege is underway." "Captain, there's a warehouse." "Go check it out, be careful." "Captain, look." "So many things." "Look, there's even a trumpet!" "What's this?" "We've got ourselves some new instruments." "Captain Meng!" " Don't come over!" "Everybody stay put!" "Don't move!" "There's a landmine under my hand." "Nobody move!" "Don't come over." "Everybody, stay put!" "Meiyu, Meiyu ..." "Blow the trumpet!" "You liar ..." " You bigger liar ..." "There are landmines here!" "We have been ambushed!" "I'm coming with you." " Don't!" "If I'm dead ... you're in charge!" " Yes, sir!" "Get up slowly." "Up ..." "Up ..." "Up ..." "Stop." "My first time dealing with this type of mine." "Have you found a way?" "Don't move." "Keep your hand on it." "Don't look." "That letter ..." "that I wrote you to apologize ... did you get it?" "I did, but I don't accept it." "It was so insincere, I want you to apologize to my face." "Keep your hand on it." "Whatever happens, don't take them off." "Comrade Sanxia ..." "I hereby sincerely apologize to you." "When I count to three ... take your hands off." "One ..." "Two ..." "Three ..." "Pass me that bucket." "Get back there." "I've got quite a few bad habits." "Don't be offended." "I'm not." "You're so pretty ... and kind." "You sing so well too." "Being from the same town as you ..." "makes me really happy." "Whichever one of us goes home first, remember to visit the other one's family." "Nobody move for now!" " The mines are connected!" "Stay put." "Stay put." "Commander ..." "Little Magician, it's dangerous out there." "I'll take a look." "Everybody stay here!" "You guys watch over the Art Troupe ... and wait for me to come back." "Take this." "We might have been surrounded by the enemies." "You stay here." "I'll take some men to break through." "Freeze ..." "Come on!" "Follow me." "Keep it up!" "Take cover!" "Take cover!" "This way ..." "Come this way!" "This way!" "Watch out!" "If the worst comes ..." "use this on yourself." "If you're scared, think of home." "What about you?" "What would you think about?" ""Three thunder-like canon blasts were sounded..."" ""... outside the gates."" ""Coming out of Tianbo Mansion,"" ""I'm leaving to protect my country..."" ""a golden crest on my head ..."" ""wearing the same armor I've had for years,"" ""I wave the flag ..."" "Go, follow me!" "We can't go on like this." "Get up!" "Comrades ... our Commander has not returned." "We can't stay here any longer." "Let's move." "Luodong ..." "I'll go check on the situation." "You take care of the Art Troupe." "Remember to find cover." "Alright." "You Guys." " Yes, sir." "Follow me." " Li, you bring up the rear." "Let's go." "Follow me." "Fire!" "Take cover!" "Take them that way, hurry!" " Keep up." "Come on!" "Come on, come on!" "Hurry up, those in the back."

"It's gonna be a tough fight." "Anything you want to say?" "It's alright." "You can say it." "Don't forget that my home is in Yulin, on the East Side." "If you have time, please go visit my Mom." "Tell her that I'm all good out here." "And that I did her proud." "Is this some kind of a will?" "No." "No, I'm just asking you ... to visit her if you have time." "Anything else you wanna say?"

"We look up to all of them." "They are our role models ... our motivation!" "We came here for victory, to fight for our country!"

" Keep the pressure, stop the bleeding." "Meiyu, change this." "Captain Meng, Captain ..." "Captain ..." "Little Magician and I have been granted to go to the front." "As part of the reserve team to reinforce 537." "We're moving out." "Commander said that in case he doesn't make it, you'll know what to do." "There's also the home adress for me and Big Daddy, can you ...?" "I'm not taking it." "I'm not accepting this responsibility." "That's for me aswell?" " Yes." "Including some of Wenjun's stuff." " Ask someone else!" "I'm not doing this!" "Enough with all this farewell." "Nobody dies!" "You hear me!" "You all have to come back alive!" "Alive, you hear?" "Sis, take good care of yourself." "We'll see you later." "I promise you, we will come back alive." "Salute!" "Leave me here." "I can't run anymore." " You're coming with me!" "Sun, you go on." "Don't mind me." "I'll find a way!"

"Take these." "I don't need it." "Why couldn't you get there before I got shot?" "I came here to save your life." "Commander Sun!" "Even the Art Troupe guy is here." " Liu Shiwen, Art Troupe conductor." "I'm here to join the fight!" "You know how to throw a grenade, Conductor?" " Yes." "Watch it." " Just throw it as hard as you can, okay?" "Yeah right, it won't work." "What?" "It won't?" "If you throw it as hard as you can, it'll only bounce back... and blow up your own balls." "Aim, and then throw." "Throw a couple, then change location." "Commander, many of our men simply can't get up here." "How many are left in our Company?" " About ... thirty something." "Commander, some guys saw that Old Dude died fighting." "I told you guys that ... someday, a battle will keep us apart." "I figure ... it's happening right now." "You still got balls?" "Yes ...!" "Yes!" "If you do prove it!" "Little Magician, did you write that letter to Sanxia for me?" "I did!" "What did you write?" " Seven words!" "Tell me ..." ""I will love you till I die"."

"This can't wait, take some men and take a detour up!" "Alright!" "I promise to get the job done." "Guys, come with me." " Yes, sir!" "Are you okay?" "Don't waste time on me." "We have to take 537." "If we are to do this, let's do it together." "Looks like we won't be ... the first to charge into enemy headquarters." "Well, we did pretty well." "We crushed their asses." "You scared?" "Nah ..." "When Big Daddy died," "I had no more strings attached." "Calling 537, calling 537 ..." "Please respond!" "Please respond!" "Report on the situation!" "Report on the situation!" "We have successfully taken ... 537." "Tell me ... do you think, years from now ... people will still remember what we did?" "Somebody is bound to remember." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Shiwen ...!" "Dressing!" "You'll be fine, you'll be fine." "Get ready, everyone." "Grab your first-aid-kits." "We're leaving for 537 to rescue the wounded." "Yes, sir." " Come on!" "Sanxia, I'm about to leave for 537." "There are things I left unsaid, and it's killing me inside." "There's some money in the envelope, it's the allowances I saved over the years." "Please give it to my Mom." "Whatever happens, don't forget it." "My house is in Caoliangzi Village of Yulin, the third house to the east of the village entrance."

"Holding hands, we went to visit your house, then we went to visit my house... and our fields aswell." "If I die, please go by yourself." "If you're there, I feel like I'm there too." "Sharing your happiness." "You're alive!" "Sis ..." " Help!" "Help!" "There's someone alive!" "Is 537 ... still in our hands?" "Yes ..." "The Army and Division both gave you public commendation." "Sis ... it's really you." "My brother ..." "where is Sun Beichuan?" "He's asleep." "Where?" "Brother, wait for me." "I'll go check on him." "I'm so sorry."

"I've had a car accident." "I haven't left the scene of the accident, I'm in it!" "Can't you hear the confusion?" "Do you hear this noise?" "They're trying to get me out of the car." "I'm trapped because some prick..." "Could you move back, so we can get you out?" "Can't you see I'm on the phone?" "Keep it down!" "I'm trying..." "Goddammit!" "Tell Arthur to get over here." "I'm on Eager Street." "Where are we?" "Eager Street..." "Just tell him to get over here." "You can't miss it." "I understand you took a swing at Judge Fleming." "Is that true?" "Kiley, why not do something about that kid?" "Put him someplace else." "They're just having some fun with him, that's all." " Fun?" " Sometimes the boys get bored."

"Good morning, Mr Kirkland." "Carl!" "Come on." "Here." "Are you all right?" "Sue the son of a bitch who did this for every cent he's got." "Every nickel." " Carl, are you all right?" " Disappear." " Miss, why don't you..." " She's not hurt." "Nothing to report." " Wait in the car." " There's no need for the wife to know." "After all I was your first client, Arthur." "You broke cherry on me." "Not the time to go down memory lane." "Let's just get you to the hospital." "You're the best, Arthur." "Get every nickel and put him away." " I'll see he gets the death penalty." " Death is okay too." " You stink." "Did somebody piss on you?" " Get him out of here." "Let nobody use my car phone." "I'm in the hospital and some jerk calls Rome." "You son of a bitch!" "You lunatic!" "Carl, you're gonna have a stroke." "You'll have to deal with my lawyer." " You'll die for this!" "He's the best!" " It's not even my car." "Be calm, Carl." "Be calm."

" Where are you going?" " The bathroom." "Go home and change." "You look like shit." "What would you say if I walked into court looking like that?" "What would you say?" "I don't wanna keep harping on this, but the Ethics Committee is checking up on everyone." "You've gotta watch it." "Last week two lawyers were disbarred on minor charges." "You get thrown in jail on contempt of court." "Fleming got me crazy." "Push him on that McCullaugh thing and there will be big trouble."

"The Honourable Henry T. Fleming presiding." "Be seated." "If Your Honour please, for the first matter the State would call case number 57746898, State versus Robert Wenke." "Mr Wenke, may I ask you to step forward, please." "How many times have you been before the bench, Mr Wenke?" "Three times, Your Honour." "Once for assault, once for arson, once for grand larceny." "And now indecent exposure." "What's the matter?" "Can't you decide what you wanna be when you grow up?" "Anything to say?" "Yes, Your Honour." "I'm a loyal Colts fan." "You are also a revolting, despicable scum of the earth who should be squashed like a cockroach." "I object." "My client has not been found guilty yet." "You're absolutely right, Counsellor." "It's now 9:40." "At 9:41 he will be guilty." "I find the defendant guilty." "Sentence to be imposed later." "I would like Mr Wenke's bail to be continued." " Bail is revoked." " Thank you." "The State will now call number 57746899." "That was very good work." "Very nice." "Colts fan." "I need Colts?" "Terrific, Wenke." "Then you do know?" "The big white house?" "With the fat columns out in front on Greenway Avenue?" "Guess how much that house is worth." " I don't know." " Take a guess." "Seven million." "243,000 dollars."

"Did you know there's a guy eating something off your table?" "The guy you're prosecuting." "He's eating the lottery tickets." "Holy shit!" "Gibson, get the hell away!" " Don't swallow, you son of a bitch!" " That's my client!" "Don't swallow!" "Gentlemen, need I remind you you are in a court of law?" "Now let's proceed in an orderly fashion." "What the hell are you doing?" "Does the defence have anything to add?" "Your Honour..." "I guess I should request a recess so my client could get something to eat." "He's obviously very hungry." "My client, McCullaugh." "Could I see him for a minute?" "Sure, Mr Kirkland." "Stick your hand out." "Mr Kirkland, what happened?" "I just want to reaffirm what I said yesterday." "We'll get you out." "I know you're trying, but this is crazy, you know?" "I know it." "You said you had evidence that proves I'm innocent." " Yes, you're innocent." " And Judge Fleming agrees, right?" "If everyone agrees I'm innocent, why am I going back to jail?" "There's enough proof, but the court won't accept it." " Why not?" " Well, there's a law..." "It says that evidence must be submitted within a certain time period." "And ours came in three days late." "What difference does that make?" "Even if it came in three years late." "They've got the proof they need." "They should let me go." "The judge sends me to jail and he knows I'm innocent." "What's going on?" "It's gonna take more time." "Any other judge would let you out." "But Fleming goes by the letter of the law." "Jeff, I promise I'll get you out." "I promise." "He promises to get you out." "Don't worry." "Judge Fleming." "I want to apologise for my behaviour in the courtroom the other day." "I don't want to hear it." "I don't want to hear anything." "That's understandable, sir." "But I thought maybe we could discuss this McCullaugh case." "You and I, man to man." "Off the record." "If you try to make a deal with me, you might wind up back in jail." "A deal?" "No, sir." "I'm not trying to make a deal." "I understand your strict enforcement of the statute." "But my client's constitutional rights are being denied." " My client is innocent." " I don't give a shit about your client." "Hi, Sherry." " Hi, Mr Kirkland." " Mrs Tate, how are you?" "He'll be right with you." " Boy, do you look tired." " Coffee, please." "Mrs Tate wants to talk." "Her son broke his leg again." "Neighbour's driveway." "And Bricker wants to know if your client will settle for 60,000 dollars." "Coffee, please." "You have three new clients today." "One's a whiplash, one's divorce." "And the third has to do with amnesia." "I don't know what it is." "What are you doing?" " No foam." " That's because it's deodorant." "Don't forget to visit your grandfather today." " And be in court at two fifteen." " Coffee, please." "Do you want some coffee?" "Sherry, stay with me today, dear." "I need you today." "Arthur." "Arthur, come here." "Hi, Judge." "Are we gonna get together this weekend?" "I don't know." "You're the only one I've been dating these days." "You promised you'd go flying with me." "I gotta tell you..." "I'm not too fond of anything that takes place off the ground." "I don't know." "I've got a thing about heights." " This is flying." "It's different." " How high up do you go?" "How high do you wanna go?" "Come on, it'll be good for you." " Besides, it gets lonesome up there." " Why don't you take your wife?" "The last thing we did together was get married." "Come on, Arthur." "You promised me." " All right." "What time?" " Sunday morning." "Ten o'clock." "Do you always carry that thing with you?" "There's law and there's order." "And that's order." "Do you like egg rolls?" " Yeah." " Good." "Come on, let's get out of here." "Easy, easy, easy." "You got it." "You son of a gun." "So, it's another week already?" "Another week." "I don't know where time goes." "No problems, Grandpa?" "Everything all right?" "See this one?" "Wonderful woman." "I went to her husband's funeral." "Fine man." "Gitel?" "Hello, Sam." "How are you?" "This is my grandson, Arthur." " I'm pleased to meet you." " Good to meet you." " He goes to law school." " I'm a lawyer." "Take my advice." "Don't be in a hurry." "He's a nice-looking boy." " My grandson." " Yes..." " Good to meet you." " Pleased to have met you too." "So, it's been a week." "Yeah, it's been a week." "Last week we went for a ride in the car." "Remember?" "That's a good machine." "Always give signals when you turn." "Right." "Left." "So..." "Are you a good lawyer?" "Are you honest?" "Well, I don't know." "Being honest doesn't have much to do with being a lawyer, Grandpa." "If you're not honest, you've got nothing." "Your parents should see you now." "To hell with them." "They never cared before." "Why should they care now?" " They're still your parents." " No." "You raised me." "You're the one who put me through law school." "You're a wonderful man, Grandpa." "But your son, he's a shit." "He was born with colic." "Sam, I love you." "Look at you." "Filled out, like a man." "Soon you'll look like a lawyer and you'll be a lawyer." "I am a lawyer, Sam." "I've been a lawyer for twelve years." "So, it's another week already." " Do you know Jules Stouffer?" " Yes, I do." " He was a client of yours, right?" " Yes." "Wasn't he originally represented by Alvin Burton?" " Yes, that is correct." " Why did he change representation?" "I handled him on an assault charge." "That's my area, not Burton's." "Did Stouffer express dissatisfaction with Mr Burton?" "Not at all." "Burton's an excellent lawyer." "Are you going after him?" " We're not going after anyone." " Do you know David Crebbs?" "We're reviewing certain accusations to determine if they're true and to clean our own house." "So please do not overdramatize this." "It's not the McCarthy hearings." "Oh, that's a relief." "So you're not gonna ask me: "Are you now or have you ever been a lawyer?"" " That wasn't amusing, Mr Kirkland." " Do you know David Crebbs?" "No, it wasn't, Miss...?" "Packer." "This isn't amusing." "It is ridiculous." "Yes, I know David Crebbs." "Have you ever seen..." "Is this mike working?" " Do you know David Crebbs?" " Why are we using microphones?" " Why don't we just talk to each other?" " This is a hearing, Mr Kirkland." "Yes." "It's a hearing." " Do you know Jules Stouffer?" " We've already asked that." "Are we through with Stouffer?" "How about Alvin Burton?" " Do you know David Crebbs?" " I've already asked that." " What did he say?" " He said yes." "Have you ever seen him intoxicated in court?" "David Crebbs has a speech impediment." "Check your records." "It's in there." "As answer to your question:" "No, he doesn't drink." "Not at all." "At this point I would just like to say that what this committee is doing in theory is highly commendable." "However, in practice it sucks." "And I am not going to answer any more questions." "What do you think we're trying to do in there?" " Want a drink?" " No." "Whatever you may think, we're not conducting some kind of witch-hunt." "What are you doing then?" "You might not be aware of this, but there's a lot of corruption that nobody's doing anything about." " Do you think you're doing something?" " Yes, I do." "That committee is a very dangerous farce." "Whoa, Mr Kirkland." "I spend fourteen hours a day on that committee." "I don't do it to get a few good laughs." "You could spend the rest of your life." "You'll wind up a cop." "Maybe ruining the careers of a few guys who wiped their ass the wrong way." "Other than that, nothing." "So what do you think?" "About what?" "About me." "What do you think?" "Think I'm kind of interesting?" "Somebody you'd like to have a drink with?" "I think that you're crazy." "What about Daniel's?" "Say, around seven thirty?" "I don't think so." "Eight?" "Eight thirty." "All right." "I'm Arthur Kirkland." "You wanted to see me?" "Yeah." "My man, Bambi, he recommended you real highly." "He said, Arthur Kirkland was the man to see." "Okay, Ralph, tell me what happened." "It says here you were involved in a robbery." "No, sir." "What happened is, it was time to come down on a nigger." "It's like smoking." "They've got to have a nigger every twenty minutes." "What happened is..." "I was in an alley, petting my dog, when they came down on me." "It states here the dog was attacking you when you were seen in the alley." "Well, my dog, he gets like that." "It also states that the dog belonged to a Mrs B. Jackson." "He sure looked like my dog." "He had that little..." "It also states that when asked what you were doing you replied:" ""I don't know nothing about that taxi cab. "" "That's true." "I don't." " How did you know there was one?" " Mr Kirkland, there's always one." "Ralph, tell me the truth or get another lawyer." "I don't need the bullshit." "Okay." "I was in that cab, but I didn't rob it." "It was my cousin's idea." "I didn't know nothing." "He's crazy." " What's your cousin's name?" " I don't know." "I mean..." " He lives over on Hillsdale." " You don't know your cousin's name?" "Who do you think you're talking to?" "Do you think I'm an idiot?" "I read a report, I can tell if somebody's bullshitting me." "Give me straight answers or get another lawyer." "I don't have time to listen to some jive-ass put-me-on." "Okay." "It wasn't my idea, but I did know what was coming down." "See me and my cousin Royce..." "Royce Shavers." "He figures that since I am the way I am..." "Mr Kirkland, I can look really fine sometimes." "I'm sure you can." "Royce figures we can be a couple." "You know, a man and a woman couple." "A cab driver will pick up a couple faster than he will two nigger men." "We got into a cab on Garrison Boulevard." "And we asked him to take us down to the harbour like we were tourists." "I can't go to jail, man." "I just can't do it." "I can't go to that place." "Please, Mr Kirkland, you've got to help me." "Please..." "Okay, I'll help you, Ralph." "Just don't lie to me." " Okay?" " Yes, sir." " Don't lie to me, okay?" " Yes, sir." "Thank you." "Thanks for bringing me home, Gail." "Oh, God." "You really take renting an unfurnished apartment literally, don't you?" "It doesn't have to stay this way." "What happened?" "Did your wife take you in the divorce settlement?" "She had a better lawyer." "Do you get to see your kids much?" "They're in California." "Phone calls, holidays." "Put the food out." "I'll get the plates." "I guess I was lucky." "We never had any kids." " How long were you married?" " Three years." " Were you in love?" " No..." "I was in love with the law." "You know what I mean?" "You got a serving spoon?" "Serving spoon." "Thank you." "So, do you eat out a lot?" " Yeah." "Do you?" " Yeah." "The committee works just about every night." "How did you feel when you walked out on the committee?" " Did you feel daggers in your back?" " That's a very dangerous group." "Jesus, here we go..." "Arthur, why do you feel it's dangerous?" "You con the public to think you're doing something, and you're not." "We are doing something." "Protecting the public from corrupt lawyers." "You're skimming the surface." "You're not going after real power." "Wow, that's scary." "What real power, Arthur?" " You don't know?" " No." "Tell me." "Well, now we know they're definitely safe." "What makes you think you know so goddamn much?" " I don't know so much." " No, tell me." "What makes you the great voice of authority?" "I don't pretend to be a voice of authority." "I just don't think you know what you're doing." "Oh, I see." "This is nice, don't you think?" "No, I don't find this particularly nice, Arthur." "I'm angry again, you know." "I don't like being angry." " It's not very pleasant." " Why do you criticize me for what I do?" "I'm not criticizing you." "You're taking it too personally." "The committee is doing something about what's going on." "We're not sitting in jail at nights because of contempt of court." " Do you know what that's about?" " Yeah." "You punched Judge Fleming." " You know why?" " I have no idea." "Tell me." "I have a client who's in jail because of a faulty tail light." " And I can't get him out." " What do you mean?" "Do you want to hear a story about our wonderful judicial system?" "Sure." "A guy named Jeff McCullaugh is going down a highway one night." "And the cops stop him because his tail light isn't working." "They run a make on him." "The computer kicks back that a Jeff McCullaugh is wanted for assault with a deadly weapon." " Was it the same guy?" " No." "But he fits the description, so they arrest him." "Did he tell them they had the wrong person?" "He tried." "He told the public defender." "But he was too busy." "He never bothered to check." " Are you serious?" " Wait, it gets better." "While Jeff is in jail, a guard is stabbed and the knife is planted in Jeffs cell." "And Jeff is trialled on a new charge:" "Assaulting a guard with a deadly weapon." "And a trial date is set." "Six months from the time he was first picked up." "I'll make a long story short." "Six months go by and a very shaky, very crazy Jeff McCullaugh goes to court." "The public defender tells Jeff that he can get him off if he pleads guilty." "He'll make a deal with the judge." "So he pleads guilty even though he's innocent." "Right." "The deal was made with a Judge Callahan." "The day of the trial Judge Callahan cannot be found." "Fleming is in his place." "Fleming doesn't know about the deal." "Jeff pleads guilty." "Fleming sentences Jeff to five years in prison." "So, one little guy has already spent a year and a half in jail because his lights didn't work." "I've spent the last year gathering evidence to prove he's innocent." "And I prove it." "I bring it all into Fleming's court and he throws it out." " Why?" " It came in three days late." "Holy shit!" "That's incredible." "It's not incredible." "It's Fleming." "No, Arthur." "That's the law." "You can't fault Fleming legally." "Because he was going by the letter of the law." " Are you kidding?" " No, I'm not." "You talk to me like that you won't get me into bed, dear." "Yes, I will." "I've had tougher cases." " You're so easy." " You knew that, huh?" "That's why you went out with me." "Finish your egg roll." "Arthur!" "Arthur!" "You'll never guess who the police just grabbed." " Take a guess." " Warren, please..." "This may sound crazy, but Judge Fleming was just taken away." " What do you mean, taken away?" " Arrested." "Come on." "I'm telling you." "They just arrested your very own favourite judge." " Judge Fleming?" " Judge Fleming." "What's the joke, Warren?" "There's a joke connected to this." "There is no joke." "I don't know what it's about." "They're sitting on this very hard." "I can't get anything from anybody." "Warren..." "Let me know the..." " Judge, we're ready to reconvene." " I'll be right there." "Congratulations, Counsel." "Thank you very much." "What did I do?" "Come here, come here." "Judge Fleming." "I was right." "He was arrested this morning and booked." " We know that." " You'll never guess what for." " Take a guess." " What for?" "Rape." "Fleming was booked on a rape." " I can't stand it." " Isn't that the best?" " Rape!" " I don't believe it." "That's not the best." "Oh, no." "I'm gonna tell you the punchline." "You're gonna love this." "His people just called." "Mr Fleming would like you to represent him." "Me?" "Me?" "Why me?" "I hate the son of a bitch." "I'm going crazy!" "Mr Kirkland, as you undoubtedly know, " " Judge Fleming has been accused, falsely I might add," " of sexually assaulting a young lady." "He wants you to represent him." "Excuse me." " What, may I ask, is so funny?" " I just think it's..." "It's just crazy." "I don't think it's so crazy." "Two lawyers up in the third-floor men's room think differently." "Right now one of them is laughing so hard he's choking in the sink." "I'm aware that I'm not particularly well liked." "But the fact is that I'm innocent and I will have that proven in court." "Mr Bates and I feel, in this particular situation, you would be perfect to handle my defence." "What is this?" "The two of you got together and came up with that one." "That's a beauty." "The real question is:" "Why?" "Why me, fellas?" "We need you for political reasons." "Political reasons?" "What kind?" "This case will create a lot of media coverage." "The animosity between you and the judge is well known." "But we can use that." "Why else defend a man you dislike so much unless he was truly innocent?" "And he is, you know." "Remarkable." "Remarkable." "But personally I don't give a shit." "You smug son of a bitch!" "Henry!" "Henry!" "I've never committed a crime in my life." "Judge, if you're innocent, truly innocent, you don't need me." "Get yourself another lawyer." "What are you laughing at?" "I really hate to tell you this, but you remind me a little of my ex - husband." "In what way?" "Because, during sex, he would always say:" ""Go!" "Go!"" ""Go"?" "I don't say "go"." " I heard you say "go"." " No, I don't say "go"." ""Go" is dumb." "I say "God"." " Are you sure?" " I'm sure." "I could have sworn I heard a couple of go's." "That was "God"." "I said "Ooooh... " It sounded like "go"." "And then I said "God". "Ooooh, God"." "Oh, God..." "Yeah?" "Who is it?" "Arthur, it's Jay!" " Jay?" " What the hell...?" "It's my partner." "Jay." "Jay?" "All right, all right." "What do you say?" "Hell of a night tonight." " It's two o'clock in the morning." " I know." "The bars just closed." "So, what are you doing here?" " I came to ask you a question." " Oh, yeah?" "What?" " I'm a good lawyer, right?" " Right." " I got Earl Soames off, right?" " What are you talking about?" "I got Earl Soames..." " Yeah, you got him off." " I didn'tjust get him off." "I got him off on murder." "And we all know Mr Soames did it." "Right, he did it." "He was guilty." "We all know that." "Brilliant defence." "Brilliant." " Brilliant defence, Arthur." " Right." "Brilliant." "Brilliant!" "Brilliant!" "I got him off on a technicality." "I know, Jay." "Right." "Good." " Mr Soames did it again." " What do you mean?" "At twelve o'clock tonight he killed two kids." "Oh, Jesus." "He killed kids, you see." "Oh, Jay..." " I gotta take a piss." " Jay..." "My partner." " There's women in here." " Hello." "Arthur, what's going on?" "Come on, it won't hurt you." "Just duck." "You've got about three feet." "For Christ's sake, get in." "How are you feeling?" "Ready to go?" "I thought you flew planes." "With wings." "I've been flying helicopters ever since Korea." "Get in." "Button up." "Close the door." "I gotta tell you, Judge." "I'm not too happy about this." "Just relax, Arthur." "Could we maybe just go out a bit?" "Kind ofjust go and hover?" "We'll do any goddamn thing you want." "Now hold on to your cojones." "This is what it's all about!" "Pretty, isn't it?" "I don't want to talk." "What?" "I don't want to talk." "Did you ever skydive?" " Did you ever skydive?" " No!" "Why?" "You oughta try it." "You might learn something." "I was skydiving once and my main chute didn't open." "My reserve didn't open either." "There I was, plunging to the earth." "As I hit the treetops I discovered the meaning of life." " Which is?" " It sucks, Arthur." "It really sucks." "They used to keep Native Dancer down there." "Native Dancer, the horse." "They kept him down there." "Beautiful animal." " Where are we going?" " Do you have any place in mind?" "Down." "I would prefer to go down." "Just relax and enjoy it, Arthur." "The old Chinese proverb." "Great, isn't it?" "Oh, my!" "Let me show you something." "Look at that." "Wild, isn't it?" " We've hit it." " Hit what?" "What did we hit?" "The halfway point." "There's a little game I play." "I always calculate how far I can go on the fuel I have and still get back." "Then I figure out the halfway point and I go just a little beyond it." "You mean we're beyond the halfway point?" "You mean we're not gonna make it back?" "Maybe, maybe not." "Well, land." "Land!" "Put it down!" "Come on, we're all right." "If we're beyond the halfway point we're not all right." "Land!" "Here we go!" "Heading back." "Sixteen years of marriage and my wife still won't eat Chinese food." "It's crazy." "Especially since we met in a Chinese restaurant." "How are we doing?" "Where are we?" "Are we back yet?" "Trust me, Arthur." "It's a protest." "She relates Chinese food to our marriage." "We're not gonna make it back!" "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "We're not gonna make it back!" "Arthur, look at that." "I told you I had good instincts." "Hang on, Arthur." "Hang on now." "Hang on..." "Hang on, Arthur." "We'll make it." "Hang on!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, God!" "Hang on!" "Hang on!" "Home free." "We almost made it right on the button." "Another ninety feet." "I told you I had good instincts." "Come on, let's go ashore." "Shit, my wheel." "Come on, Arthur." "It's easier when you take the belt off." "That's it." "Are you all right?" "Come on, let's get some coffee." "You'll be all right." "Your adrenaline's still charged." "You have to admit it makes you feel alive, vital." "When I think that we could be dead right now..." "Listen, why is everyone so preoccupied with death?" "I'm not usually preoccupied with it, but this seems like a valid time." "Another chicken salad sandwich." "Arthur?" "No." "Let's get back to Fleming." " You won't consider taking his case?" " Nope." "Not interested." "You'd better be interested." "There are some very powerful people who can ruin your career." "Ruin my career?" "What do you mean?" "For one they can have you disbarred." "Do you want some more coffee?" "Disbarred?" "What are you talking about?" "Did you ever have a client named Ernest Drago?" "Drago, yeah." "What about him?" "You gave the police information that led to his conviction." "Drago was a nut." "Drago was insane." "He sat in my office and rattled off the most grotesque fantasies imaginable." "I handled him on a burglary charge and I heard that stuff every day." "His favourite fantasy was:" "What would happen if he stuck a firecracker in somebody's mouth?" "So, I read in the newspapers that there was this nut who held people at gunpoint and forced cherry bombs in their mouths." "I knew it was Drago, so I told the police." "You didn't prevent a crime." "You betrayed a client." " You violated the code of ethics." " What are you talking about?" " What's going on?" " Arthur, they want you." "You're a very principled lawyer with no political ties." "I tell ya..." "They want me to defend Fleming because of my moral integrity." "And if I don't defend him I'll be disbarred for being unethical." "Look, Arthur." "Put aside your personal feelings." "Take the case." "You've worked too hard." "Don't throw your career away." "I can't believe this." "I just don't believe it." " Judge, I want McCullaugh freed." " Nothing can be done." "I don't buy that, Judge." "Just reopen the case." "Reopen the case and I'll get him acquitted." "Now look." "You are in no position to ask for anything." "But I'll see what I can do to help." "Perhaps there's an exception to the statute." "Okay." "Okay." "So, why don't you tell me about the girl?" "This Leah Shephard." "Can you tell me anything about her?" "What do you want to know?" "I saw her a few times." "She works at City Hall." " Did you have sex on the first date?" " Yes." "First and second time." " That's why this makes no sense." " What do you think happened to her?" "I assure you I did not rape her, but..." "I really don't know." "Maybe an angry boyfriend showed up after I left." "Angry boyfriend?" "That's a little mild, don't you think?" "She wasn't just raped, she was sadistically beaten and sodomized." "That's a bit beyond angry boyfriend." "You're right." "I'm sorry." "How did I get into this?" "I've been involved in the law for thirty years." "And I can't find five people who'll believe I'm innocent." " Will you take a lie detector test?" " Why?" "It's not admissible evidence." "I know." "I would like you to do it for me." " I'll think about it." " No, no..." " I said, I would think about it." " You can't do this." "I need a polygraph to prepare your case." " If I'm going to be your lawyer..." " If you're going to be?" " Mr Kirkland, you are my lawyer." " I know." "I'm your lawyer." "And as your lawyer there are certain demands..." "As I said to you before, you don't demand anything." "Now sit down." "I have a lot of work to do." "I said, sit down." "Leave it out here." " Jeff, what happened to you?" " Somebody beat me up." " What for?" " I don't know." "I didn't ask." "Listen, I talked to Fleming." "We'll work something out." "We'll get you out of here." "When?" "It's gonna take maybe three weeks." "I promise I'll get you out by then." " Three weeks?" " That's the best I can do." " You must be kidding." " It's the best I can do." " What am I supposed to do?" " You're gonna have to hang in there." " Just take care of yourself." " Take care?" "I got myself locked up in solitary to get away from some guys." "I can't fight." "You read about guys being let out of prison because it's too crowded." "And here I am and I didn't do nothing." "If that doesn't beat all." "I know, Jeff." "You can't lose hope." "Understand me?" "You can't lose hope." "Happy Thanksgiving." " I bet we're gonna have good turkey." " Of course we are." "Where's your teeth?" "You need your teeth if you're gonna eat turkey." "Where's your teeth, Grandpa?" "Did I have my teeth last time you were here?" "Of course you had." "You had teeth this morning." "He doesn't remember so well." " What did I do with my teeth?" " He's very proud of you." "He always talks about his grandson studying to become a lawyer." "I wish he could remember that I am a lawyer." "Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't." "So what?" "He's still proud." "Arnie, are you sure I had my teeth this morning?" "I know you had teeth." "What's that?" "By the television." "All right." "I'm ready." "I hope your friend won't mind me coming." "No, Arnie." "This is Thanksgiving." "There will be a lot of people." "You'll be all right." "Let me get this here." " Okay, guys." " Let's go, let's go." "I hope they don't have yams." "I hate yams." "I can't eat off my knees." "What happened to sitting at a table?" "You say: "Pass the salt". "A little more stuffing, please"." "Is it true, that Fleming passed the polygraph test?" "Larry, that's privileged information." "Let's just say I'm one of the privileged." "He did, didn't he?" "What are the odds?" "Nobody wanted to believe he's innocent." "I can't talk about that." "I could tell this is catered." "Turkey I know." "What is this?" " Excuse me..." " Go ahead, go ahead." " Thank you." " Go already." "What is this fancy thing over here?" "You don't like it?" "You don't eat it." "I'll bet it's the yams." "They're hiding the yams so I'll eat it." "Hi." "How are you?" "Is it Jay?" "What do you think, Arthur?" "Hello, Larry." "Do you like it?" "It came to me during the night." " I gotta talk to you." " Excuse me." "Marcie, I'm coming back." "When I do, you can pet it." " What are you doing?" "What's going on?" " Nothing." "What do you mean?" "What are you doing with that head?" " Where'd you get it?" " I shaved my head." " What for?" " A change of pace." "You shaved your head for a change of pace?" "Also, do you see what it does?" "It's going to make it thick." "When this comes back it's gonna be thick." "What's bothering you?" "Don't play big brother, all right?" "Where's that Marcie?" "Will the defendant please rise." "I find the defendant guilty of armed robbery" "I don't understand." "What's going on?" "Am I going to jail?" "Since this is the defendant's first major offence, and he has no criminal record and is currently employed," " I request an investigation." " You foresee a favourable report?" " Yes, Your Honour." "A probation report is to be drawn up and presented within fifteen days." "Sentencing will be withheld until that time." "What happens now?" "They prepare a report for the judge and in fifteen days you should be out on probation." " Should be?" "I have to be." " Don't worry, you'll be okay." "Arthur." "Where are you going?" " My office." " Come in, I'll take you." " It's a new one, huh?" " Yeah, you like it?" " Arthur, I've got a problem." " What?" " This young girl..." " Not again, Carl." "I think it's a paternity suit." "Well, you know me, Arthur." "Is Jay letting his hair grow back or keeping it shaved?" "He shaves it every day." "He carries around a razor which he runs over his head all day long." "Jesus." "Sounds pretty bad." "He's not all right, is he?" "He's all right." "He'll be all right." "You know, the committee's considering calling him in." "His clients are complaining." "He's postponing his court dates." "He's got a problem." "He's all right." "He's all right." "You know what this whole thing comes down to, don't you?" "Every day, defence lawyers get guilty people off and are not affected by it." "It's not supposed to affect them." "The difference is that Jay was affected by it." "He was hurt by it." " That's not the point." " Isn't it ironic?" "That the one lawyer who felt something is brought before your ethics committee?" "Don't make yourself out to be the only sensitive person around here." "I know Jay was hurting." "That's not the point." "He's not functioning properly because of it." "He's all right." "He just needs time." "I've taken over his court cases." "He's emphasizing on contracts." "Now lay off him, okay?" "I'm just trying to let you know what's going on." "I love the way the hierarchy works." "You're going after guys like Jay and nobody is doing anything about Judge Rayford, who's a suicidal maniac." " Rayford?" " Yes." "The man is bent on killing himself." "A bailiff once found him trying to hang himself." "You know where he eats his lunch?" "Outside his window, on the ledge, four stories high." "This man is making value decisions on people's lives." "His personal behaviour is not affecting his work." " You know that for sure?" " He's an excellent judge." " And Jay's an excellent lawyer." " I know." "He was." "That's not the point." "The point is, his problems are affecting his clients." "That's why the committee wants to see him." "Oh, God." "You know, there are times when I'm not too sure I like you." "We are so opposite in how we feel about things." "Maybe that's good." " That's perfect, right?" " Right." "As long as we keep a little friction between us, there are no problems." "That's all the photos in the Fleming case." "Here's the name and address of a witness that lives in Leah's neighbourhood." " He thinks you ought to see this guy." " What does this say?" "Reisler?" "Reisler." "Yeah, Reisler." "She's a little constipated." "She's got that look on her face." "You saw somebody go into Leah's house on the night of the attack?" "Can you describe that person?" "I'd say he was a young fella." "Small build, about 5'6, 5'7." " Cherry?" " No, thanks." "A small fella, huh?" "Could you identify him if you saw him?" "No, it was too dark." "Too far." "You knew about the publicity this case is getting?" "Newspapers about Judge Fleming?" "Then how come you didn't report this to the police?" "I went to the police." "I told them I had information for them and they told me to wait." "I waited one, two, three hours." "I finally turned around and went home." "I couldn't spend the whole night there." "Do you know Leah Shephard?" "Oh, you know, to wave to her and say hello." "Would you testify to what you just said in court?" "I guess I would, if I had to." "But I really don't wanna get involved." "Then what happened?" "I told him to move on, but he used profanity and refused to leave." "What sort of profanity?" "You know, the normal kind." "We've all heard these words before." "What did he say?" "He used "fuck" a lot." "And "Piss on you"." "And said he was going to "bunghole" the short-order chef." "He was going to "cream" on the waitress." "Stuff like that." "There's a very good reason for all that, Your Honour." "What is that?" "I'm a diabetic." "I don't get it." "I've never heard of diabetes causing foul language." "That's because you're a douche bag." "Make sure this man gets a psychiatric evaluation." "I will withhold a verdict pending a medical report." "Day in, day out, same goddamn thing." "These people belong in a mental home." "That judge is slower than the six-o'clock news." " What can you do for me?" " A year." "Are you kidding?" "I thought it was bargain day." "He'll buy six months." "All right." "What else have you got?" "Fenwick." " Eighteen months." " Eighteen months?" "You tell him." "He's crazy." "He'll snap your neck." "Tell him a year, but the offer's only good for today." "Frank, come on..." "He's got beady eyes." "He's a maniac." "He bit off two of his cellmate's fingers." "I can't tell him a year." "It's the best I can do." "I'm not in a good mood." " Frank?" " Here I am." " Is that it?" " Yeah." "I'll get back to you on Fenwick." " I have to talk to you." " I've got a case coming up." "Then what happened, Mr Saltzman?" "This punk kept pulling my wife's purse and she wouldn't let go." "So I tried to get him off." "He pushes me aside and knocks my wife into a wall." "You want the good news first?" " Shoot." " Fleming passed the polygraph." "And I have an eyewitness." "We will call the defendant Robert Avillar to the stand." "And as for your star witness, Leah Shephard..." "We know about her credibility." "You want me to throw the whole Fleming thing out the window?" "I've got you by the balls." "He's innocent." "If the DA drops the case, everybody will scream political deal." "The old lady kept hanging on." "She lets go of the purse, I'm gone." "But she kept hanging on." "I didn't mean any harm." "You're gonna come out of this looking like a jerk." "Maybe." "But let me tell you something." "If this was a run-of-the-mill killing, maybe we could deal." "This is not." "This is too hot." "It's the silver ring." "Any questions from the State?" " What the hell are you doing?" " This is a dream come true." "Don't spoil it." "When I get Fleming down I'm gonna crucify him!" "My client has no criminal record." "He just wanted to take her money." "It's the Super Bowl, Art." "And I'm the quarterback." "With three seconds to go, I drop back to pass and there's a touchdown." "Fleming's carried out on a stretcher." "It's that big." "I find you guilty." "But I'm not going to jail you." "I'm placing you on probation for one year." "One year probation?" "What kind of punishment is that?" "People are really pissed off at the law." "I'll turn that to my advantage." "You're representing the sacrificial lamb." "This is justice?" "What kind of world do we live in?" "Crazy!" "The whole world is crazy." "What's going on?" "It's Jay Porter." "He's gone completely crazy." "Jay!" "Jay!" "It's me, Arthur!" " Where did he get the plates?" " From the cafeteria." "He's been bringing them up all morning." "Nobody paid any attention to him." "No, no!" "He's not armed." " What's he got?" " He's got plates." "Put that away." "What's going on?" "He's not armed." "He's just throwing plates." " Does anybody know who he is?" " It's Jay Porter." "He's a lawyer." "A lawyer?" "Mr Porter!" " Here." " No, wait, wait." "Hold this." "I'm gonna wrestle him." " Are you all right?" " Yeah, fine." "Get some canisters." "We'll gas him out." "Oh, Christ!" " How about I run interference?" " What do you mean?" "I've got this." "You stay right on my tail." "Judge coming through!" "Jay, it's me, Arthur!" "Jay, listen to me." "Jay, listen to me." "No!" "I'm not ready!" "No!" "I'm not ready to try this case!" "I'm not ready!" "I'm not ready, Judge!" "Please!" "Help me, help me, help me!" "Warren, could you do me a favour?" "Three o'clock, courtroom A." "My client, Ralph Agee." "They're reviewing his probation report." "They screwed up the report." "I made these corrections." " Make sure the judge sees it." " No problem." "You'll be in and out in five minutes." "He'll be wearing a blonde wig." "Don't let it throw you." "It makes him happy." "Tell Agee I'll call him tonight, and I'm sorry I couldn't make it." "I drew up the contract." "I just wanted you to review it." " So I reviewed it." " For a 7,000 dollar fee?" "Doctors treat each other for free." "Where's some professional courtesy?" "Screw that, this is business." "Besides, I got the lunch." " Come on, Warren." " My God, Arthur's case!" "I forgot all about it." "I'll see you later." "What are we waiting for?" "For Arthur Kirkland." "Sentencing on Ralph Agee." "Check the halls." "See if he's lost." "Let's move on here." "Sorry I'm late." "I'm filling in for Mr Kirkland." "I will not permit this type of conduct." "When you're due in my court at three, I expect you here at that time." "I have a copy of Ralph Agee's probation report here." " Are you familiar with this?" " Yes, I am, Your Honour." "Who are you?" "Mr Kirkland asked me to handle this." "You'll be out of here in a second." "Do you have anything to say about this report?" "It's all right there in front of you." "Well, I'm not satisfied." "Ralph Agee, will you stand before the court?" "Stand up." "On the basis..." "And take off that wig." "On the basis of this report, I sentence you to three years in the custody of the Department of Corrections." "Mr Kirkland said I'd be out on probation." "He said I'd be out on probation!" "I'd like to call your attention to some corrections..." "You know the proper procedure for appeal." "I'd like to move things along." "We have another case, Your Honour." "State of Maryland versus Della." "Are you crazy?" "Arthur!" "Arthur, damn you!" "Back off, dammit!" "Watch out for the car!" "Arthur, knock it off!" "Are you nuts?" " Get out!" " For Christ's sake, stop it!" "Back off and I'll get out." "What the hell's wrong with you?" "What are you doing to my car?" "Tell me about it." "You tell me about Agee." "Tell me about it." "It got by me." "It got by you?" "It got by you?" "It got by you!" "By you!" "Just stay away from the car!" "Agee did not have to go to jail." "He did not have to go to jail!" "So he gets out on probation in ten months." "It's not all my fault." "I hate those cases." "I was doing you a favour." " What kind of favour?" " It's all nickel and dime, Arthur!" "Don't you care?" "Warren, don't you even care?" "If you cared so much, why weren't you there?" "I do care, but not about them." "They're people, Warren." "They're people." "Just people." "If he's not in jail this week he will be next week." "You know probation's at fault." "Appeal it." "I can't appeal." "He's dead!" "He's dead!" "Half an hour after they put him in the lock-up he hanged himself." "Goddammit!" "I'm sorry." " Goddammit!" " I'm sorry..." "Goddammit!" "Judge?" " Judge?" " Yeah." "I spoke with the state attorney's office." "They're gonna go ahead with an indictment." " Who'd you talk to?" " Bowers." "Frank Bowers." "Well, he's right." "If we don't go to court, it'll look like a political manoeuvre." "I want everything out in the open." "I'm very pleased." "Okay, what about McCullaugh?" "I need your ruling on my motion for a new trial." "What about it?" "The groundwork is prepared." "We'll have a date soon." "What do you mean, groundwork?" "Are you jerking me off here?" "I just need a yes or a no." "Tell McCullaugh to be patient." "Patient?" " What did you say?" " What do you mean patient?" "Judge, this is not a case of monetary damages." "This is a human being we're talking about." "A boy who's in prison, frightened out of his mind." "Fighting every day for his life." "I can't tell him to be patient." "Prison should be frightening." "Let the criminals create their own hellhole." "Are you crazy?" "What are you talking about?" "I tell you, the idea of punishment to fit the crime doesn't work." "We need unjust punishment." "Hang somebody for armed robbery." "Try it." "We have nothing to lose." "Do you understand what I'm saying, for God's sake?" "You don't, do you?" "You fellas with your fancy ideas of rehabilitation." "The concept of rehabilitation is a farce." "Do you honestly think that bringing Johnny Cash into prisons to sing railroad songs" " is gonna rehabilitate anyone?" "Most people are sick and tired of crime in the streets." "Do you hear what I'm saying?" "Arthur?" "Arthur!" "Could you tell us what's going on?" "How many hostages are there?" "A statement is all we want." "The clinic doctor felt he was well enough to go back to his cell." "All of a sudden McCullaugh had a gun." "Where do these guards come from?" "No training, no education and no motivation." "I hope you have this thing under control." "We can't sit on this for long." "There are too many goddamn criminals in this building!" "Open up." "Get those nurses off the floor." "Excuse me, warden." "I couldn't hold him any longer." "He had to go back." "He had to, huh?" "That's not the point." "I'm surprised he's even awake." "I loaded him up on tranqs just before he was to leave." "Jeff?" "Jeff?" "It's me, Arthur." "Hi, Mr Kirkland." "Hi." " How are you doing?" " Pretty good." "And you?" "I'm all right." " Can I come in?" " Where are you?" " I'm out in the hallway." " I can't see you." "Can you see me now?" "I'm over here in the hallway." "Can you see me?" "Can you see me?" "Could I come in you think?" "I guess so." "Okay, I'm coming in." "So, what's new?" "You know, the usual." "Business." "Jeff, this is crazy." "You know?" "I know." "I mean, me taking hostages." "That's what's really crazy." "It took me forty minutes to tie them up because I couldn't make a good knot." " Would you know how to do that?" " I don't know." "I guess I would..." "I guess you make a square knot." "That's the easiest." "I don't know." "Would you take a look to see if I did these okay?" "Sure, Jeff." "Look at the knot." "You sure tied them." "They're good knots." "Tell them not to come in here!" "I don't want anybody in here!" "Get out!" "Down!" "Oh, Jeff." "Jeff, now look..." "You can't win this thing." "Understand?" "You can't win." "This is their thing." "They gear up for this kind of thing." "Please." "I can't stand it anymore." "They raped me." "A whole bunch of times." "And other stuff, too." "Jeff." "Jeff..." "Can I move closer, Jeff?" " Can I move closer?" " I guess so." "Just down here." "I want to talk to you." "Jeff..." "Listen to me, Jeff." "I don't know what to tell you." "I just don't know." "Anything I tell you..." "It's just that you gotta give up." " Give up?" "To whom?" " Jeff, you gotta do it." "Everybody screwed me." "Who else is there?" "Would you go away please?" "I just want this much free space." "This much is all I want." "I swear to God, Jeff..." "It'll be all right." "You did what you could." "But nothing makes sense anymore." "Not in here." " What are you gonna do?" " Nothing." "I don't have to do anything." " You can't just sit there." " Yes, I can!" "All I want to do is sit here." "Okay." " It's cold in here." " You want my coat?" "My legs..." "Oh, God." "My legs are cramping so bad I can hardly move them." "Stay down!" "Arthur, come on in." " It's Sunday, Carl." " I want to show you something." "What's up?" "Your partner's coming back, I hear." " Will they let him practice again?" " Sure." "Why not?" "Who says you gotta be sane to practice law?" "Come on, what's going on?" "What do you want?" "I've got a little present for you." "You know, favour for favour." "Sweetheart, give him the pictures." "There you have it." "It's the head of the Ethics Committee, " " Judge Fleming and the hooker." "She takes a good picture, huh?" "What do you think?" "Does that cover my legal fees for the next two years?" "Oh, Carl..." "Take the pictures." "It's a token of my appreciation." "Oh, my, my..." "Look, Arthur..." "These photos are disgusting, but not proof that Fleming raped Leah Shephard." "He did it." "The son of a bitch is guilty." "Okay." "Then drop the case." " I can't." " Why not?" "Because the man with the whip is blackmailing me." "He's blackmailing you?" "What for?" "A long time ago I betrayed a client's confidence." "It's a long story, Gail." "That's why Zinoff pulled your file." "What do you mean?" "After you walked out on the committee, we did a check on you." " A check on me?" " Yeah." "Zinoff requested it." "I had no idea why." "You mean to tell me that while we were sleeping together you and the fellas were making decisions on my life?" " Gail, on my life?" " Would you just let me finish?" "Then Zinoff said he wanted to personally review your case." " I swear, I had no idea." " Jesus, this whole thing stinks!" "Okay, if you feel that way about it, then fight them." "Go ahead." "Go up against them." "Take the consequences." "Consequences?" "The consequences are that I'll be disbarred." " I know that." " I'm a lawyer." "It's all I know." "Then do it." "Defend Fleming." "You'll win the case." "No disbarment." "You'll end up being a very important lawyer." "A judge is guilty of beating and raping a woman." "You're talking crazy." "You don't know he's guilty." "You assume he is guilty because you hate him so much." "Even if he is, what difference does it make?" "A defence lawyer has to defend people who are guilty." "You know that." "Would you defend him?" "If you were me, would you do it?" "I would because it's my job." "You know?" "Look..." "You took an oath to defend your clients as best you can." "If you can't do that, then get out." "Where'd you get these?" "I've been carrying them around for a couple of days." "What do they mean?" "I see the wheels spinning." "Sex photos, sex crime." "Is he guilty?" "Is he?" "Yes." "What about the polygraph?" "The eyewitness." "How did you do that?" "Those were taken care of for me." "So, now you have it." "I'll see you in court, Arthur." "Oh, you forgot these." "So, you're home on leave?" "Arthur's in the coastguard." "I don't understand." "He's getting worse." "It depends." "He comes, he goes." "You didn't come for three weeks." "He missed you very much." "I was busy, Arnie." "I had the trial and all." "I know, I know." "It's important to you." "But you missed three Tuesdays, so he lost his sense of time." "You know, Arnie..." "I don't know what I'd do if he goes." " He's the only family I've got." " He's very proud of you." "I'm a lawyer because of him." "He wanted it for me and he made sure I got it." "To him being a lawyer was the finest thing you could be." "Your Honour, court's about to begin." "Coming!" "Coming!" "You must admit she's an attractive woman." "I wouldn't mind seeing her again." "You'll be fine." "Just answer simply and directly." "Silence." "All rise." "All persons in this court draw near and pay attention." "The Honourable Francis Rayford presiding." "Be seated." "It's really very simple." "We have a judge, the symbol ofjustice here " " who's accused of raping and brutally beating this young girl." "We can do something about it." "We can do it today and we can do it together." "Let's make this our goal line stand." "Just give me a verdict of guilty." "I need your help." "Thank you." "The Prosecutor has completed his opening statement." " Is the defence counsellor ready?" " Yes, Your Honour." "Your Honour, Mr Foreman, ladies and gentlemen of the jury." "My name is Arthur Kirkland and I am the defence counsellor for the defendant" " Judge Henry T. Fleming." "That man over there is the prosecuting attorney." "And he couldn't be happier today." "He is a happy man because today he's going after a judge." "And if he gets him he's gonna be a star." "He will have his name in this month's Law Review, centrefold." "Lawyer of the month." "Now, in order to win this case he needs you." "Naturally." "You're all he's got." "So, he's counting on tapping that emotion in you, which says:" ""Let's get somebody in power." "Let's get a judge. "" "However, these proceedings are here to see thatjustice is done." "And justice is, as any reasonable person would tell you, finding the truth." "And what is the truth today?" "One tragic truth is that that girl has been beaten and raped." "Another truth is that the prosecution has no witness." "Does not have one piece of evidence other than the testimony of the victim herself." "Another truth is that my client voluntarily, and the prosecution is well aware of this," " took a lie detector test..." "Objection!" "That's inadmissible evidence." " Come on, Arthur." " He told the truth." "The jury will disregard that remark." "Polygraph tests have not been proven reliable enough." "They are inadmissible." "Sorry, Your Honour." "Let's get back to justice." "What is justice?" "What is the intention ofjustice?" "The intention is to prove guilty the guilty and free the innocent." "Simple, isn't it?" "Only it's not that simple." "However, it is the defence counsellor's duty to protect the rights of the individual." "As it is the prosecution's duty to uphold the laws of the state." "Justice for all." "Only we have a problem here." "And do you know what it is?" "Both sides want to win." "We want to win." "We want to win regardless of the truth." "We want to win regardless of justice." "Regardless of who's guilty or innocent." "Winning is everything." "That man wants to win so badly today." "It means so much to him." "He is so carried away with the prospect of winning that he forgot something that's essential to today's proceedings." "He forgot his case." "He forgot to bring it." "I don't see it." "Do you?" "The prosecution has got to have a case." "Not a witness." "Not one piece of evidence other than the testimony of the victim herself." "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a case to end all cases." "I have witnesses for my client." "I have character references." "Testimonials that are backed up from here to Washington DC." " I have lie detector tests..." " Objection!" "Objection sustained." "Mr Kirkland, you are out of order!" "The one thing that bothered me..." "The one thing that stayed in my mind and haunted me was why?" "Why would she lie?" "What was her motive for lying?" "If my client is innocent, she's lying." "Why?" "Was it blackmail?" "No." "Was it jealousy?" "No." "Yesterday I found out why." "She doesn't have a motive." "You know why?" "Because she's not lying." "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury..." "The prosecution is not going to get that man today." "No." "Because I'm gonna get him." "My client, the Honourable Henry T. Fleming, should go right to fucking jail!" "The son of a bitch is guilty!" "That man is guilty." "That man there..." "That man is a slime." "He is a slime." "If he's allowed to go free then something is really wrong here." " Mr Kirkland, you're out of order." " You're out of order!" "The whole trial is out of order." "They're out of order." "That sex-crazy, depraved man raped and beat that woman." "And he'd like to do it again." "It's just a show!" "It's a show!" "It's "Let's Make a Deal"." "Let's make a deal!" "Frank, you wanna make a deal?" "I have an insane judge who likes to beat up women." "What'll you give me?" "Three weeks probation?" "You son of a bitch!" "You're supposed to stand for something, to protect people." "Instead you fuck and murder them!" "You killed McCullaugh!" "You killed him!" "Hold it, hold it!" "I just completed my opening statement!" "Oh, shit." "The judge says, you won the trial." "So now he's doing two to ten." "Hi, Arthur." "Good to see ya." "Nice day."

" Hey, Hutch." " Yeah?" "Crandell's five minutes late." "More like 10." "You make a deal with a thief, sometimes he shows sometimes he doesn't." " Crandell was eager." " Too eager?" " No, no, no." "There he is." "There's our snowman." "North Pole, North Pole." "We're reading you, Reindeer." "Okay." "Starsky, we got a car." " Two men." " Hang tough." " Santa's got two little helpers with him." " Right." "Let's get out of here." " Who's that?" " Hold it!" "Police!" "Cover me!" " Out!" "Come on." "Come on." " Come on." " Spread them out." " Come on." "Three out of four." "That's not too bad." "Make it two out of four." "This guy's bought it." " Who got him?" " You can thank Corman for that." "He had you cold, Starsky." " I owe you." " I drink rye whiskey." "Hey, who's the stoolie, Hutch?" "Who tipped you guys off?" "A little bird, Kalowitz." "A little snowbird." "Hey, you look kind of natural toting that cotton lifting them bales." "You'd look natural with a .38 calibre third eye in the middle of your forehead." "I'm just kidding." "Got a sense of humour?" "Rags." "You ain't gonna find nothing but rags inside." "Better than a pound." "Cocaine." "Pure." "Three million dollars' worth of cocaine." "A hundred percent pure." "Not bad." "Not bad for a morning's work." "Unfortunately, gentlemen, the two in the slams aren't gonna say anything." " Stryker's bailed them out by now." " Stryker." "He's the next phase in this operation." "We're gonna nail Stryker." " Any questions?" " What was the dead man's name?" "Crown." "Edward Crown." "Gentlemen, if there are no more questions, that's it." "We'll start tomorrow morning." "Early." "That songbird of yours is gonna sing some more for us." " Oh, no." " We made a deal." "He gave us time and place." "We nailed it." "DA promised to drop his dope charge." "That was the deal." "We lean on him more than we agreed to we've blown our reputation with informants." " I know that." " Well, if you know that, then why?" "That fink of yours got a soft spot in his heart for 17-year-olds." " What you talking about?" " He's a statutory rape suspect in Pennsylvania." "They wanna talk to him badly." "Now, if he cooperates, helps us nail Stryker I'll tell Pennsylvania he's helping us solve a very important crime." "If he gives you any static, I'll have him picked up and shipped on the first thing smoking." "Well, I guess we go talk to the little man." "I guess you do." "Go on and do your thing." "There it is." "Yeah, I seen ugly, man, but this is ugly." "Crandell's taste is as bad as yours." "The two of you could start a museum." "Come here, doggy." " Nice dog." " What?" "Just some dog." "Hey, dudes." "What's happening?" " Where is he?" " In the far booth." "You know what they say, "Huggy Bear's is where the elite meet and come to greet the neat and fleet of feet who are so sweet with the finer things of life."" " Push or shove?" " You play the bad guy for a change." "I'm tired." " Hi, punk." " It's us, the good guys." "What are you doing?" "Get out of here!" "You know what can happen if I'm just seen talking to you two guys." " We got problems." " Yeah, well, I'm sorry to hear that." "No." "We're sorry too, but you should listen to my friend's problems." "What are you guys doing?" "Playing some kind of funny game?" " Well, I gotta tell you, I don't like it." " We want you to help us nail Stryker." "What is this?" "We had a deal." "I mean, you scored the shipment." "I spoon-fed it to you like a baby." "Our debt's paid." "We got you off that dealing charge." "And now we want Stryker." "You know what?" "I don't know any Stryker." "Now, how's that grab you?" "Now, will you please move so I can get away from you two bums?" "No." "I'm warning you, let me out of this booth." "No." "You know what?" "I don't like you two." "Gee, we like you." " You like him, don't you, Hutch?" " Sure do." "I think he's terrific." "But there's a little 17-year-old girl back in Pennsylvania who's not too thrilled." "I'm getting out of here." "If you go, dumbo, we go together." "But I gotta tell you, Pennsylvania is awfully cold in the winter." "If I buy it, what do you want me to do?" "We want you to stay close to Stryker and tell us what comes and goes." "Also who comes and goes and how." "You gotta square the Pennsylvania rap." "We'll do what we can." "I don't like it open-ended like that." "As an outside observer, I'd say you don't have a choice." "Okay." "I'll go with it." "Let's talk elsewhere." "If I'm spotted with you, I'm dead." "All right." "Let's set a meet." "5:00 tomorrow." "Hampton and Division Street, okay?" "It's like we got a social disease, he split so fast." "I didn't even get a chance to get into my character." " Starsky, did you see that dog?" " What dog?" "I swear that was the dog outside Huggy's." "I didn't see no dog." " Be down in a second." "Need anything?" " No." "Good evening, gentlemen." "Please get out of your car." "You won't need your guns." "Hey there, little buddies." "Now, do as the man says and get out of your car." "That was a nice bust you made today." "Of course, I had other plans for my merchandise but I can accept the loss as a perfectly normal business risk." "Even New York City has its money problems." "It's nice of you to be so understanding, Mr. Stryker." "And as a businessman, I can appreciate other people going into business for themselves." " What you talking about?" "I'm talking about the rest of my merchandise." "Shall we say $50,000?" "What do you mean, "rest of your merchandise"?" "Did I say $50,000?" "All right." "All right." "You boys are hard negotiators." " $100,000." " What is this, Let's Mak e A Deal?" " Just give it to us straight." " Okay." "Straight." "Four million dollars' worth of coke was in that shipment you busted today." "Three million got turned in." "That leaves one million outstanding." "One million and you two, shall we say, opportunists." "You're nuts." "I'm lots of things, Starsky, but nuts I'm not." "Why us?" "Maybe it was one of your own people." "My relationship with my employees doesn't make that a reliable possibility." "Oh, no." "It was you two." "I'll be in touch with you in 48 hours." "You find my merchandise and you'll get a $100,000 finder's fee." "Maybe we ought to haul these boys down to the meat plant right now." "No, there's plenty of time for that." "Meat plant?" "That was cute." "Well seems like he was telling the truth." "Somebody ripped him off for a million dollars' worth of cocaine." "But who?" " What cop's under suspicion?" " Close the door." "You, Hutch, Kalowitz, Burke, Corman." "All five of you, as far as Internal Affairs is concerned." "In a theft like this, everybody's under suspicion." "They'll go by the book." " Those creeps never give up, do they?" " How's that?" "I said, you call out the dogs get IA nosing around." "With those guys you're guilty first innocent if you can prove it." "Now, you got three guys who've been on the force a long time." "They're family men." "An investigation like this could ruin their careers." "Starsky and I can handle the pressure, but these three guys shouldn't have to." "It can't be them." "Crandell's the only one that knew a bust was going down." "He used it to cover a rip-off." "Look, let Hutch and me get the coke back from Crandell." "For you I'm supposed to break standard operational procedure?" "No, no." "Not for us, for their sake." "All right." "You got 48 hours." "What Stryker gave you is what you get." "Oh, that's great." "We can't make our 5:00 with Crandell." "We'll put an APB out on him." " Captain." " Oh, I gotta ask you." "Stryker said he'd send us to the meat plant." "What's he talking about?" "Elmo Jackson." "He was my partner, like you and Hutch." "We went a long way together." "We were working underground to get Stryker." "They found him on a hook in a meat factory." " Nobody connected Stryker?" " Nobody ever connects Stryker." "Well, maybe we will." "First, we collar Crandell." "Man, this heap is a piece of garbage." "When you gonna fix it?" "Listen to that squeak." "It cuts through my brain." "I don't hear it." "It's driving me nuts, and you don't hear it?" "How about I put you on roller skates and tow you along in the back." "Would you like that?" "Zebra 3, Re:" "Your APB on Crandell, Caucasian male, 30s." "Reported heading east on 12th Street near Balmoral." "Out." "What do they want?" "We're on a call!" " What's going on?" " We're on a call!" " What do you think you're doing?" " You young punks!" " What was that for?" " Don't play games with us." " You know what you just lost us?" " We don't give a damn." "Who are you out trying to stab in the back now?" " Wait a minute." "I don't take..." " Easy." "Hold it." " Everybody knows about you hotshots!" " Knows what?" "You're pushy!" "Especially you, Starsky!" "Listen." "Me, Corman, Kalowitz we got years on you boys." "We were cracking heads when you were only daydreams." "Got it?" " Lay off." " Lay off what?" "Trying to tie us into that rip-off." "A missing million bucks' worth of cocaine." "Tie you in?" "We're trying to tie you out." "Sure." "You got accusations on us, you lay them on the table upfront or we'll shag your tails to the police office." "Got it?" "Some guys you just don't do favours for." "Yeah." "Well, I guess that takes care of Crandell." "We'll just have to meet him later at 5:00." " Buy me a beer, will you?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" " This is Rodgers." " Where are you calling from?" " A phone booth." " So, what happened?" " Crandell met with cops yesterday." " Starsky and Hutch." " All right." "Thanks for making the call." " What do you think of Crandell?" " That old boy?" "About as easy to hold on to as a greased toad." "Why?" " What's his bag?" " Making enough bread to keep knee-deep in broads." "Rodgers saw him hanging out with Starsky and Hutch." " How does that grab you?" " Not so as I like it." "I think Crandell worked the inside for Starsky and Hutch." "And then tipped them to the shipment they busted." "Then they talked him into stealing my cocaine before it got to the warehouse." "If you like, I'll find that fella for you so you can have a chitchat with him." " How's that?" " Yeah." "And then we'll contact Starsky and Hutch." " Crandell." " 15 more minutes and we'd have split." "Think we got nothing better to do than hang out and wait for you?" "I gotta be careful, keep moving." "I got Starsky and Hutch watching me." " I got Freddie..." " Come on, let's get this over with." "Okay." "I'm cutting out tonight." "It's all here." "Pure." "Each one will go for 500,000." "More, if you wanna cut it." "Okay, it's been a pleasure, gentlemen." " I'll just take my share and..." " On your feet." " What?" " The deal is off, Crandell." "Wait a minute." "Come on." "I took all the risk." "There would be no deal without me." "You stay alive, it's messy." "Freddie's probably following you right now because Stryker ain't dumb." "He put your arm in that hamburger machine and you gonna tell everything, my man." "No." "I got a feeling this is not gonna be one of our better days." " I think this car of yours is a jinx." " You wanna put that back?" "At least go and look at my uncle's car lot." "You don't have to buy, just look." "There was a fantastic metallic burgundy lowrider." "You know, with the tiny wheels?" "The front end sat up 6 inches above the ground." " Where is Crandell?" " He's only an hour late." "Look, the engine had a 375 cubic..." "You just want me to drive around in a striped tomato like you got." "My car is a striped what?" " There he is again." " Who?" " That dog." " What dog?" "That dog with the spots." "I think he's following me." " There's no dog out there." " Starsky, there was a dog there." " Okay." " Okay." "Zebra 3, meet Captain Dobey at 15072 West Buchanan." "Code Three." " What about Crandell?" " He'll have to wait." "This is Zebra 3." "Roger." "Marty Crandell." "No, no, no." "Crandell." "C." "Age: 34." "Here, you finish it." "These officers found something I thought you might want to see." "Crandell." "Hit once in the head and four in the body." "Right out of the book." "10 to 1, it's Stryker." "What's that shack over there?" "What was Crandell doing here?" "Was he dragged?" "Did he come to a meeting?" " Outside door, huh?" " Yeah." " Give me a hand with this." " Yeah." "Open on this side." "Bloodstain." "I think I may, I think I might." "What you got?" " It's the funny little white stuff." " Middle of summer, yet." "Well, they tailed him, shot him and dumped him in the field." "And then they took back their coke, took care of Crandell." "That blows our contact with Stryker." "At least it takes the heat off." "It's getting to be uncomfortable, being a target in that big turkey shoot." "Crandell's dead." " Who did it?" " I don't know." "By the time I got there, it was all over." "Just a dead body." " Starsky and Hutch?" " Could have been." " You like a piece of cheese?" " No." "That means they're operating as independents." "They're not gonna sell back our merchandise." "They're gonna deal it themselves." "I'm afraid we're gonna have to hit them." "Get Rodgers up on a roof across from that hole where Crandell lived in." "When they come to examine his apartment, and you can bet they will..." " Wouldn't you like some cheese?" " No, I'm on a diet." "We'll hit them then." "We had an APB on Crandell." "If we wanted to snuff him we could have wasted him." "We all know it was a gangland execution." "We also know that this is a standard procedure for Internal Affairs so stop your moaning and groaning." " You fire your weapon?" " Yeah." "If we killed Crandell, you think we'd use our own piece?" "I have to compare each slug with ballistics." "If that's all, captain, we've got 24 hours off." "Corman and me are going to my place." "We're gonna do some fishing." "You and Corman?" "Well, sure, go ahead." " What's biting?" " Trout, up at Bear Lake." "Thank you." "Got some information on Crandell's pad." "1011 Frontal Road." "A furnished apartment building." "Bye." " Well, that was a waste of time." " What a weird place." "That guy had 17 kinds of pomade and a dozen brands of smell-well." "I've seen voyeurs before, but this guy takes the cake." "There's that dog." "Come here, doggy." " Hell, where's that coming from?" " I don't know." "The roof across the street." " Did you see the dog?" " Yeah, I saw the dog." " I'm beginning to love that dog." " Me too, Hutch." "Starsky, cover me." "Go ahead." " See him?" " No." "Huggy." " Who's been trying to hit us?" " Who?" "What do you think I called you for, not to tell you?" " Stryker." " Stryker?" "Word's all over the street." "Why would he wanna try to hit us?" "He got his coke back." "That's all I know." " Then he must not have the coke." " And he thinks we do." "He didn't kill Crandell." "Crandell and the coke were at the same place, same time." "He's been thinking it's us." "We've been thinking it's him." "And it's neither one." "Cops." "Our brother cops?" " Yes?" " Rodgers blew it." "How?" "I don't know." "He had them dead to rights." "Then he shot up the whole street instead." "Irv, get me a glass of warm milk." "Quick." " What are you gonna do?" " I'm gonna have to kill them myself." "Corman, you are out of your mind." "We can't fence it now without someone getting suspicious." "Your trouble is, you're scared of the bogeyman, Burke." "You got a slave mentality." "All I think of is the dollars that coke is gonna fetch." "And we ain't gonna blow it now." "There's a million bucks' worth of top-grade cocaine in there and we sit on it until it's safe." "You hear me?" "And dump that piece in the ocean." "Quit worrying." "Nobody saw me pick this gun up at the warehouse." "There's no way they're gonna trace this gun or any of this to us." "This is the bullet that killed Crandell." "This one." "SID found it embedded in a crate at the warehouse where the cocaine was delivered." " Where's Crown's gun?" " Crown?" " Guy who got shot at the bust." " The guy Corman shot." " Oh, yeah." "Things were getting hot." "We were interested in the cocaine." "That gun didn't up and walk out of that warehouse by itself." " Someone..." " Cop." "Some policeman got Crown's gun and used it on Crandell." "Button, button." "We come to the same conclusion by a different road." "I make Corman." "He was nearest Crown." "There's Corman, Kalowitz and Burke." "One, two or all three." "Dobey." "Yeah." "Starsky." "It's Huggy Bear." " Yeah, what is it?" " Hutch?" " I wanna talk to Starsky." " It's me, dummy." "I know." "Put Starsky on the phone." " Is something wrong?" " No." "Hey, Starsky." "Hey, it's me, Huggy." " I got something of interest for you." " What is it?" "Not on the phone." "My place." " Huggy." " I'm always running off at the mouth." "But this is important." "You gotta get over here." "This is where it is." "No, no, no." "Upstairs." " What's going on?" " Something bad, down at Huggy's." "You're a good old boy." "You did that just fine." " Huggy?" " Yeah." "Y'all come in." "Out here, Hug." "Starsky, Hutch." "Y'all come in, now." "Come on, Huggy." "You know how we feel about bedrooms." "You wanna see your friend alive, you better get in here." " You gotta be kidding." " Our friend?" "That little black fink?" "You want us, you gotta do better than that." "Make your move, redneck." "We're not going anywhere." "Get them." "Get them, I said!" "Buddy." "Is somebody gonna untie me?" "I don't know, Huggy." "We might charge you with conspiracy." "You and that phone call." "Hey, man, you wouldn't be here if I didn't call." "Man's got a point." " There you go, Hug." " Thanks." "Send an ambulance to Huggy Bear's restaurant." "Tell Captain Dobey to send over a backup unit." "You have the right to remain silent." "I'm sure you know that." "And that bit about being represented by an attorney." "Go ahead." "You're about to fall behind attempted kidnapping possession of an automatic weapon, assault on police officers." "We can add possession of dangerous drugs and other little goodies." "You don't have enough time for the years you gotta do." "All right, let's not make a case out of it." " What do you want?" " Stryker." " Okay." " And a cop left on a meat hook." " Elmo Jackson." " I know about that too." "Police." "That's great." "I'll sleep much better nights, knowing you're guarding me." "I hope you have a warrant." "No." "But I have." "You, Dobey, captain of detectives, serving warrants?" "I wanted to drop that on you." "You trying to pin a cheap drug rap on me?" "My lawyer will tie you into knots." "Read it." " Murder one?" " That's right." "Captain." "You hung my partner on a meat hook." "And Elmo Jackson was a good cop." "As a matter of fact, he was my best friend." "Stryker, never pick on a man's partner." "I still don't understand." "What happened to the coke?" "You are one lousy judge of character." "We never had your coke." "Captain." " Where are you off to?" " Going fishing." "Trout." " Somehow I hope we're wrong." " Yeah." " Messy housekeepers." " Yeah." "What the hell are you guys doing here?" "We knocked." "I'm gonna ask you again." "What are you doing here?" "We heard you guys were fishing." "Dropped by to see if you were having luck." " You ain't funny, Hutch." " No." "I guess they want the truth." "Okay." "We're looking for a gun." "The gun Crown left in the warehouse." "We think that after you knocked him off you lifted the gun." " You figure I did that?" " Yeah, we do, Phil." "And you killed Crandell." "And you've got the cocaine." " You guys are over the line." " Really over the line." "Are we?" "You two going fishing together is like the NAACP and the Ku Klux Klan having a togetherness rally." "And you blew it on the fishing." "Trout season hasn't opened yet." "And you two claim to be detectives." "Halt!" "Why didn't you leave us alone?" "Crandell was nothing." "Crandell was nothing." "We might have made a..." "We might have made a deal." "Haven't you heard, man?" "Hutch and me don't make deals." "Come on, come on, come on." "Come on." "Sit down." "Okay, Burke." "Where's the stuff?" "In there." " Behind the wall." " And the gun?" "That bureau over there." "Give me Dobey." "Next time, we do it by the book." "Internal Affairs ain't complaining, are they?" "Hey, Hug." "Sit in." "And eat my own food?" "No way." "Huggy, these guys ever manage to say thanks?" "The department's got Huggy up for a condemnation." " It's a "commendation."" " But can I put it in the bank?" "Hang it on your wall." "And by the way, who's gonna pay for the damages to my luxurious upstairs pad?" " Oh, hey, I forgot." " And the check?" "We got a couple of dates, captain." "Sorry, we gotta run." "Terrific dinner." "Thanks a lot." " Huggy, you got a pen?" " Later." "Starsky, there's my dog." "Come here, boy!" "Come here, you good doggy." "You lifesaver, you." "Oh, what a pup." "Hello." "Hello, baby." "What are you guys doing with a dog in my place?" "I don't have friends at the Department of Health." "What dog?" "I don't see a dog." " You see a dog, Starsky?" " I don't see no dog." "Oh, don't jive me." "He's right there." "There's no dog." "What's the matter?" "You been sampling the goods again?" " Can't cut loose without juice." " Feels fine long as he's got his wine." " Otherwise he'd drink turpentine." " Go blind." "Oh, please." " Hello, pooch." " Hey, spotted dog."

"Is page ferguson's car Still parked in upper manhattan?" "Gps shows it's been idling in the same location For 30 minutes." "Is the customer in distress?" "I don't know yet." "Then I'm violating her privacy And need verification before we" "I see her car." "Just stand by." "Page!" "It's sunny!" "No!" "Ms. Ferguson, can you hear me?" "Are you all right?" "Your vehicle shows signs of impact." "Fire and rescue have been dispatched to your location." "Ms. Ferguson?" " It's too early for this." " Late night?" "Empty apartment, I couldn't sleep." "Better than being laid up with the flu," " Like your partner." " He'll live." "What do we got?" "Shredded panties, signs of penetration," " But no fluids." " He rapes her, They struggle..." "She was either pushed or she fell." "After he cut her up." "Slashes across her throat, arms, and groin." " None of them fatal." " Psycho-sexual torture?" "Knife's usually bigger." "The killer used a blade" "Measuring no more than three to four inches." "Well, it doesn't look like she was strangled." " But something was cut off." " I.D., maybe?" " Is this the victim's car?" " Don't know." "Tags and registration are missing too." "Well, someone sanitized the crime scene." " Maybe the witness saw who." " Witness?" "Said her name's sunny qadri." "Where's she now?" "Showing csu where the victim took a nose dive." "They may have struggled against the glass here." "But I think she was pushed from there." "Are you the witness, or are you on the job, ms." "Qadri?" "Both, I'm a detective investigator" " For the brooklyn d.A." " Okay, well, this is manhattan," "And you're tampering with my crime scene." "I didn't remove anything that would lead to her killer." " Did you see him?" " No, I heard a noise." "Then she screamed, and came flying over the edge." "What were you doing here?" "I was looking for her." "We work together." "I didn't want her name going out over the air." "You stripped her I.D., her tags, and her registration" " To avoid the press?" " And one p.P." "I think you better tell me why." "Page ferguson's the unit chief" "For a major narcotics bureau." "How did you know that she was in trouble?" "Stuff on her desk, purse in her drawer," " Gun still inside." " Gun?" "Who was she afraid of?" "Angel rivera." "He is a member of the latin kings," "And threatened page in open court." "We put protocols in place," "She wouldn't go anywhere without telling someone." "Anyone else she didn't get along with?" "Page dealt with convicts and humps." "You want a suspect?" "Look in her files." "What about a boyfriend?" "Someone in her private life." "She didn't have one." "She worked 90-hour weeks." "Well, the violence to her body" "Suggests that this attack was personal." "Her parents are dead." "No husband." "That's why it was so tough" "When she got breast cancer last year." "To have a mastectomy and chemo almost killed her." "But she rallied, remission gave her a purpose" "To live every moment, to smell a flower..." "To start an office fling." "That ended badly?" "With visible cuts and bruises." "She was ashamed of it." "Did you know the guy?" "She wouldn't tell me." "So I gave her a gun and showed her how to use it." "How many men work in your office?" "Around 50." "But whoever he is," "Page wouldn't have gone alone to meet him." "My money's on rivera." "And where is rivera now?" "Rikers." "With plenty of latin kings." "Any one of them could've passed the message" "To a gunman outside." "Except for the fact that rivera's a thug." "If he wanted her dead he would've used a bullet." "You sure about that?" "A year ago, rivera nail-gunned" "This family's apartment shut." "Then poured gasoline" "Under the door and lit a match." "The bastard actually" "Showed his face at the crime scene." "The family did everything we ask the public to do." "They called police, kept an eye on the drug traffic," "And stepped forward as witnesses." "So why weren't they in protective custody?" "Budget." "It wasn't a rico case." "When did you finally pinch him?" "We flipped one of his corner boys." "Damon merced," "Who is going to testify against angel rivera." "Trial starts in two days." "Rivera must have found out that damon is our witness." "So he told the hitter to lure page out" "With page dead, they'll ask for a continuance and get it." "I've pulled the luds on the victim's cell phone." "She got a forwarded call from a burn phone" "Ten minutes before she left the building." "Where was page when she got the call?" "With her boss, deputy d.A. Ian wofford, why?" "An s.O.S. Explains why page left her stuff" "And went straight to the car." "Wofford's office is next to the garage." "So the caller must've been somebody that she knew" "And didn't consider a threat." "So where did she go after she got the call?" "Well, the navi routing shows after they left brooklyn" "They went into manhattan, then into new jersey," "Then they ended up at king of prussia," " And went right back." " What the hell was she up to?" "Maybe somebody else got in the car with her." "There's nothing else to say." "Liv?" "No." "No, I am not talking off the record." "Call the press room at one p.P." "Press found out that page was a d.A." "Yep." "And I am tempted to hand them rivera on a platter." "he didn't do it." "The guy is a creative killer." "What makes you think he didn't orchestrate a hit?" "The latin kings would've done her and dumped her," "Not held her for hours and then cut her up." "It's personal." "Page was in an abusive relationship with a coworker." "She showed all the signs of a battered woman." "Okay, yeah." "But talk to rivera, cover your ass." "And yours too." "My client had nothing to do with page ferguson's death." "He's been sitting at rikers with out bail" "For over six months." "With plenty of access to a phone." "Check the logs, bitch." "Making threats against page in open court" "Wasn't smart." "Unless I walk through walls, it wasn't me." "Someone else did it for you, angel." "For what reason?" "Mr. Rivera's still facing trial." "And another prosecutor will just take her place." "Well, I get the feeling that angel likes to kill" "Just for fun." "I find out you ordered the hit," "I will end you." "Anybody can get got." "Even you." "Bring it." "Send a hitter my way," "He's going straight to the morgue." "Okay, that's enough." "This fishing trip is over." "Warner's got something." "The fall's impact severed her spine" "In the cervical and thoracic regions." "Death was immediate." "I watched her die." "But something's bugging you." "Her hands." "She's got over 30 stab wounds and shallow cuts on her body." "And yet, there are no defensive slashes." "Was she restrained or drugged?" "The only drugs in her system were anti-depressants." "I also found healed scars-- some shallow, some quite deep" "Based on the angle, they were self-inflicted." " You think she's a cutter?" " Yes." "Well, page didn't rape herself." "She might have." "One-inch healing cuts in the vaginal canal" "Consistent with a smooth-surfaced," "Hard-edged instrument." "You're saying that she sodomized herself with a knife?" "People cut themselves to cope with trauma." "She might've suffered from algolagnia," "Where the brain interprets pain signals as pleasure." "That's horrible." "It's why they suffer in silence and hide their wounds." "Did the victim own a blade?" "A pen knife." "It belonged to her father." "But there was no knife in the car or on her body." "Did you take it from the crime scene?" "No!" "Page didn't die from cuts." "She was shoved off the building." "Sunny, you didn't see anybody fleeing the scene." "You're ruling it a suicide?" "There's no way to tell." "She was with her boss when she got the call." "Let's talk to him" "And find out if he knew where her head was." "You'll have to talk to ian wofford by yourself." "Why?" "He's my boss too." "Page ferguson's death is a real loss," "How can I help you?" "Page received a phone call here in your office" "Right before she left the building." "I couldn't tell you what it was about." "She hung up, apologized to me, and ran out." "Was she killed by the caller?" "No, right now it looks like she committed suicide." "Was she upset about anything?" "Stressed, worried?" "You just described Every prosecutor in the building." "And you didn't answer my question." "I don't want this getting out." "Page is dead and can't defend herself." "She's being investigated." "The federal inquiry was looking into her unit" " Over missing drug money." " Taken from evidence?" "Never logged in." "We busted a dealer with 15 kilos, several handguns," "And 700 grand in small bills." "He claimed cash on hand was $1.2 million," "And that our cops stole the rest." "Who got the collar?" "Page." "And three detective investigators," "Sean riggs..." "Michael walden..." "And sunny qadri." "They take polygraphs?" "Riggs and walden passed, page showed some deception." "About what, we can't be sure." "What about sunny?" "She refused to take one." "You think that sunny and page Were in on it together." "Quacks like a duck, detective." "Follow the money." "Nose dive." "Brooklyn d.A.'s cutting their losses." "Feds are investigating major narcotics" "For a missing half mil." "So they leaked page's death as a suicide" "Blame the dead woman." "Problem solved." "I got the surveillance tapes from brooklyn." "Page got the call, she's leaving wofford's office." "Walking into the hallway." "Leaving the building." "Doesn't look like anybody's stalking her." "Into the parking structure." "Leaving in her car." " Well, any chance" "Somebody was in page's backseat?" "Well, it looks like she was alone," " But in a hurry." " Any flags on her financials?" "Oh, page was drowning in debt." "From student loans, credit cards, and medical bills." "Cancer free but cash poor." "I'd be tempted by the drug money too." "It doesn't make her a thief." "Except for the fact that she paid off Half of those bills..." "With money orders purchased From a post office box in red hook," "And check cashing places all over the bronx." " Doesn't look good." " For sunny either." "She refused a lie detector." "Maybe she's dirty too." "It's time we talked to the rest of the unit about it." "Did you trace the disposable cell They used to lure page out?" "Serial number was shipped To an electronic store in midtown." "I called them and told them to pull the security tapes." "Detective tutuola, I called you about those surveillance tapes." "Don't you people talk to each other?" "Hey!" "I'm watching you." "Just give me the tapes and I'm outta your hair." "I gave them to the other cop." "Real hot number." "You should tell her to come back and see me." "Let me guess-- tall, brunette, accent?" "And bedroom eyes." "Just my type." " Set me up?" " She wouldn't let you" "Touch her to wipe her ass." "Just make me a copy of the tapes." "She took the originals." "Detective riggs and walden." "We got the order from our captain" " That you wanted to see us." " Yeah." "Have a seat, I have a few questions." "First, the bosses take the word of a drug dealer." "And now page is dead?" "It stinks." "Evidence shows that your prosecutor was dirty." "Page wouldn't risk her career over a few bucks." "500k isn't chump change." "Feds are already digging." "If you have proof, why talk to us?" "'cause maybe she didn't do it alone." "Hey, you want a witch hunt?" "Transfer to I.A.B., sweetheart." "Okay, you can help me clear this up" "Or the feds can hang you out to dry." "Honey." "I passed the poly, so they're not looking at me." "And I haven't met a cop yet" "Who doesn't know the tricks to beat it." "If you're turning our screws, you must like sunny for this." "Could be any of you." "Now I understand that page ferguson" "Had an office romance." "Any idea who?" "Not a clue." "Thought this was a tight unit." "Not lately." "Page and sunny weren't getting along." "Lot of arguments, lot of cold shoulders." "You know why?" "Ask sunny." "Walden?" "Do you know why they were at each other's throats?" "Maybe one of them had a guilty conscience." "Maybe the other one had to stop her from squawking." "You know, my partner's new." "Sunny's a stand-up cop." "She would never cross the line." "Where's detective qadri now?" "She's with the feds." "Olivia, what are you doing here?" "Saliyah qadri, you're under arrest" "For evidence tampering and obstruction." "I was going to hand over the tapes" "You shouldn't have taken them in the first place." "What's this about?" "You cannot arrest her" " If I don't file charges." " It's not up to you, chris." "Page ferguson's death is tied to my investigation" "Into missing drug money." "I am taking over." "She tampered with my victim's body," "She lied to the police, and she stole" "Surveillance footage of whoever lured page to her death." "Taking the tapes is suggestive," "It's not enough for an arrest." "She's going in, chris, whether you like it or not." "This case belongs to the fbi." "Send me the paperwork." "Let's go." "after you." "I took the footage because I wanted to know" "Who killed my colleague and friend." "That's a nice spin, but I'm not buying." "Even if I found out who?" "The phone was sold" "To a hood rat named lakeisha watkins." "The store owner says she's a regular." "I ran her name and got a hit." "You should've told me you were under investigation." "You would've cut me out of your case." "So what set you off, sunny?" "Was it page failing the polygraph test?" "Or did she get cold feet and wanna make a deal?" "There was nothing to confess." "But she was gonna turn you in." "You would've lost your job," "Your pension, your freedom." "Page didn't take the money, neither did I." "She paid off her debts with the money orders." "And that's when you snapped." "So what did you do?" "You cut her up," "You tossed her off that building," "And you staged the crime scene." "It's a set-up!" "Anyone could buy money orders" "And make it look like she stole the cash." " By paying her bills?" " A dealer once tried" "To deposit money in my bank account." "To skip on a drug charge, make a cop look bad." "Some cops are crooked." "I'm looking at one right now." "I didn't take the money," " And I didn't kill page." " Okay." "Okay." "So why not take the polygraph?" "It was a slap in the face." "25 years on the job, not even one accusation." "Then my reputation gets blown to hell" "For a low-life scum bag." "If they thought I was guilty," "They were gonna have to prove it." "So why bother to take it now?" "It was the only way to make things right." "The unit's under a cloud of suspicion," "Then page gets killed..." "I had to prove that no one on our team's dirty." "Satisfied?" "Not till I find page ferguson's murderer." "Sunny showed no signs of hesitation or deception," " She passed the poly." " So did riggs and walden." "Which just leaves the victim." "It's probably what got page killed." "Unless she really did commit suicide." "Well, if she did, she had help." "Lakeisha watkins." "This girl bought the burn phone." "Possession, resisting, and illegal weapons charges." "The girl likes knives." "Pick her up." "What's lakeisha doing" "With brooklyn snitch damon merced?" "Let's ask before they take off." "Hey, stop." "Police." "Drop the knife!" "Leave!" "I don't know you." "You want an open or closed casket?" " Drop the gun!" " Drop the gun!" "Now!" "who the hell are you?" "I'm on the job, put your piece away." " You put your piece down!" " Relax!" "Relax, relax." "Put your weapon down." "Put your weapon down." "Riggs, what game are you playing?" "I should be asking you." "Local cops are moving my witness" "To a safer location, why are you here?" "We came to question lakeisha about page's murder." "What would she know about it?" "She lured page from the office" "And now here she is with rivera's rat." "Are you kidding me?" "You need to bring him back here Or either deliver him to our precinct." "The only place I'm taking damon is to court." "You got a problem with that, call the brooklyn d.A." "Latin kings put a price on damon's head." "You can talk to lakeisha..." "It took hours to cut her up, riggs." "Somebody drove page across state lines," "Tortured her, then threw her off the roof." "I read the coroner's report, sunny." "Page did it to herself." "She jumped." "The cause of death was inconclusive." "Damon used his girlfriend" "To lure page from this building." "Don't you want to know why?" "You really think he did this?" "Your snitch held a gun to my head." "What do you think?" "That he better have a damn good story When I hand him to you." "Why did you call page ferguson on the night she died?" "Damon was freaking out." "Said he saw one of his old crew and we wasn't safe." "Well, riggs is his handler, why didn't you call him?" "Tried him first, know what I'm saying?" "Couldn't find him." "Why didn't damon make the call himself?" "I don't talk on the phone, that's how you get pinched." "But why have lakeisha call the victim?" "Victim?" "That bitch killed herself." "Answer the damn question, merced." "Lakeisha called my handler first." "When he didn't pick up," "I told her call the office and talk to his woman." "Who told you that riggs and page were a couple?" "Nobody." "I called him at home late one night," "And she answered the phone." "She sounded just like lakeisha" "After I was done giving her a good pounding." "I thought you just said that you never use the phone?" "Did page offer to pick you up?" "Never showed." " How long you wait?" " Couple hours." "What kind of car was page driving?" "A black suv." "How would you know that if she never showed?" "She told me what to look for." "So where'd you go after page stood you up?" "We split up." "I told my girl," ""go home and just stay out of sight."" "And you didn't call the office back" "Hoping to get somebody else to help you?" "I don't know anybody else." "I kept my head down, and I just kept it moving." "Look, I'm a survivor, and that's what we do." "You and the cockroaches." "Come on, back to the safehouse" "I hope damon's more credible on the stand" "Than he was in that interview." "He's not the only lying bastard." "Riggs was involved with page and smacking her around." "We need to sit him down." "Not on the word of some pissant informant." "Where was riggs when page went missing?" "In the office." "I saw him right before" "I realized page was gone." "He was leaving for the night." "Lab check the knife lakeisha pulled on me." "It doesn't match the victim's wounds." "It's gonna be tough to prove murder" " Without more evidence." " But why kill page?" "Damon is a witness for the prosecution," "What does he gain by her death?" "I ran riggs' phone records." "Not one incoming call to his work or cell" "From lakeisha's burn phone." "Proves they're lying, but doesn't put them" "In the same abandoned building with her." "No hair, no fibers, no prints." "It was cold, they had to be wrapped up in winter gear." "Unless they were sitting in a heated car." "Tell me you have something, judy." "We found a small pool of blood" "Belonging to the victim" "Behind the driver's seat and under the mat." "The killer forced page into the back seat" " To slash her up." " Based on her wounds," "There should've been a lot more blood on the seat." "We didn't find any." "Because she was sitting on plastic." "That's what I'm guessing." "No offense to warner," "But this looks like a homicide to me." "Got anything to back that up?" "This toll receipt." "Well, it's faded." "How can you tell?" "Point of sale, Thermal paper fades when it heats up." "So we copied the image, then used infrared and uv light." "Receipt was printed at a toll booth" "Heading into new jersey at 2:00 a.M." " There's blood on it." " Yeah, but it's not the victim's." "We ran it through codis, no hits." "The ticket is time-stamped, and the booths have cameras." "Let's pull the footage and find this killer." " Any sign of page's car?" " Nothing yet." "There's a lot of traffic on the road At 2:00 in the morning." "So where are we?" "We thought page was driving the car alone," "But the blood on the toll receipt isn't hers." "So who was in the car with her?" "Maybe her boyfriend, riggs." "You think that he got tired of slapping page around?" "Decided to end their relationship once and for all?" "The guy seems on edge." "He's definitely hiding something." " My bet's on him." " You lost your bet." "Look who's driving page's car." "That's page's snitch, damon merced." "Page's office is protecting him." "Why would he kill her?" "Go ask the rat bastard." "I asked for damon's location, not you." "You can't cover up for your informant this time." "That's not why I'm here." "You don't get to collar" "The scumbag who killed page right under my nose." "Don't expect me to sit on the sidelines." "She was my friend." "That's why you shouldn't be here, sunny." " Forget it." " By the book." "This door's been kicked in." "Somebody emptied a clip in them," "And it looks like they've been dead for a while." "It would've been loud." "Had to have witnesses." "In this neighborhood," "You'd be lucky if anyone answers the door." "Bullets travel." "Some citizens could be hurt." "Anyone else know they were stashed here Besides you?" "What, are you accusing me of something?" "They killed page." "You were in on it together and had to shut them up." " That's crazy." " Hey, knock it off, sunny." " What the hell's wrong with you?" " Why did you do it?" "Why kill page?" "Hey, I got no problem hitting a woman" "So I suggest you get out of my way." "Calm down." "Step aside." "I wouldn't go too far." " Found god?" " Didn't know he was lost." "A neighbor turned it in." "Slugs in the spine." "You shouldn't be here, sunny." "What difference does it make?" "You know damn well you can't work a case" "Outside of your jurisdiction." "You gotta hit the bricks." "Fine." "But if I were you," "I'd check the dumpster." "Who told you that?" "The same neighbor?" "His ten-year-old son." "Don't make the boy a target, fin." "What's your name, kid?" "Don't wanna talk to me?" "No." "Look, I understand." "You're scared." "But you gotta tell me what happened." "My dad's upset." "He says we gotta move." "Why?" "'cause you saw who did it?" "He saw me when he dumped the gun." "Okay, what'd he look like?" "Boriqua." "He had a snake on his neck, black and gold beads." "He's gonna come back and kill me, isn't he?" "Not unless he has a death wish." "Listen, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, okay?" "Come on." "26 .9 millimeter shell casings." " How many shooters?" " My guess?" "One." "Preliminary exam of lands and grooves" "Says they all came from the same gun." "The shooter had to reload." "Probably used a mac-10 with a full magazine." " Where'd you get that?" " The kid led me to it." " Is he willing to talk?" " Well, I told him not to." "Fin, he has to come forward to get protection." "I got this covered." "Detectives..." "This is page ferguson's pen knife," "Where'd you get this?" "In lakeisha watkins' purse." "We had them and we let them go." "Lab report, the blood sample and the toll receipt" "Belongs to lakeisha watkins." "Well, I guess her death is one way" "For page to get justice." "We still gotta find the shooter, liv." "The kid I talked to said" "He saw a latin king dump that gun." "But I wanna keep him out of it." "Oh, I'm with you." "There's no need" "For him to risk his life before it's even started." "Okay." "Lakeisha and damon" "Were in a secret location." "Somebody had to feed them the address." "Probably the same person who arranged page's murder." "She was set up." "Damon slipped his electronic bracelet," "Slap on the wrist." "Arrested for drugs, vacated." "Pinched with a gun, vacated." "Somebody's looking out for him." "His handler." "Sean riggs." "So damon lures page, drives around for hours" "While the girlfriend sits in the back and cuts her up." "Most bangers don't get off on torture," "But he wanted that drug money." "Page is a cutter." "She has a high threshold for pain." "When the service operator spooks them," "They have to get out of the car" "Then they pushed her off a building to shut her up." "You think riggs might've let it slip" "That page stole that drug money?" "The federal investigation." "He needed her to take the fall." "I need a union rep." "We can wait for one or you can clear this up right now." "What do you wanna know?" "How the latin kings found your informant." "If you think I leaked his location," "Forget it, I don't operate that way." "You had your informant kill a d.A. For drug money." "Damon was your weakest link, so he had to go." "That's a lie." "Okay, I had a relationship with page." "I loved her." "You had sex with her and you abused her," "I wouldn't call that love." "We were together for almost a year." "All right, I had to sneak into the hospital" "When she had cancer." "Now she's gone, I can't even grieve." " Why the big secret?" " She was the head of our unit," "How would it look if we went public?" "And that upset you." "She emasculated you, ordering you around the office." "So you slapped her around at home." " I never touched her." " You said it yourself," "You have no problem hitting women." "Who come at me!" "Okay, you wear the uniform," "Females are the first ones to try to take you out." "So I won't hesitate to put a broad down hard." "Okay." "Somebody saw her bruises." "That she gave to herself." "I mean, she'd been self-harming for years." "Perfect way to make a murder look like suicide." "Page was in and out of therapy." "She used to pull her eyelashes," "Slam her body into doors." "And nobody could ever tell her why." "At first, they said that her brain was wired wrong." "And then she just wanted the attention." "Personality disorders." "Anxiety, depression." "I walked in on her once, and she had..." "She cut her thigh too deep." "And she apologized to me all the way to the e.R." "I didn't understand why," "Till the cops showed up to take me in." "You can check the 61s." "We did." "The cops didn't clear you." "They thought page was a battered woman." "Arguments and stress triggered her need to cut." "She said it relieved the pressure." "You know, she swore that she would resign" "After the rivera trial." "That she would focus on her health." "You think she committed suicide?" "Between the missing drug money and the rivera trial," "What would you think?" "Did page question you about the money?" "I took the poly so she wouldn't have to." "I guess it didn't matter in the end." "Angel rivera had a visitor" "The same day damon and lakeisha got killed." "Who signed the visitor's log?" "Let's go." "This a conjugal visit?" "You're never having sex again." "At least not the consenting kind." "You don't want your lawyer?" "I don't need him." "Punk witness is dead." "Charges gotta be dropped." "Case closed." "I'm gonna be a free man." "In your dreams, angel." "Come to kiss me good-bye, too?" "No, I came to throw away the key." "You and your girlfriend are gonna be in here" "For a long time." "Isn't that right, gina?" "What she doing here?" "Same thing as you." "Conspiracy to commit murder." "Stupid vaca." "What did you tell them?" " She told us everything." " They made me, angel." "You called her here yesterday." "You gave her the address where damon and lakeisha" "Were hiding, and you told her" "Which one of your latin kings was gonna kill 'em." "I didn't do none of that." "they know, baby." "She's lying." "Such a tragedy." "What is?" "That your kid is gonna be born in prison." "Both parents doing time." "No real family, in the system," "And screwed for life." "Doesn't have to happen that way." "What are you talking about?" "Well, there is one thing that we don't know." "Who told you where damon and lakeisha were hiding?" "Tell us." "And gina walks." "Please..." "Baby." "Come on, angel." "Prison nurseries don't have toys." "That bitch said if I cleaned up her mess," "She'd clean up mine." "Which bitch?" " You lied, sunny." " This shocks you?" "You did know damon." "You arrested him in '95." "I arrested a lot of people over the years." " Can't remember them all." " But he was your snitch." "He gave you information and you bailed him out." "For years, you did it over and over." "He was almost as easy to manipulate as you." "Wanting to search for drug money," "You willing to cooperate?" "Sure." "What are we talking about, 3 1/2 years?" "I'll do a year, tops." "Looks like you got it all figured out." "I took the cash and hoped you wouldn't catch me." "I was wrong." "you did a lot more than hope." "You inserted yourself in the middle" "Of my investigation from the beginning." "You're upset." "Page figured out that you stole the money," "And she ordered you to turn it in." "She actually cared about you." "No." "I cared about page." "Unlike her, I proved it every day." "You didn't give a damn about her." "You sold her out for the drug money." " You can't prove that." " I can sell it." " Page owed me." " Her life?" "You told your snitch that she lifted the drug money" "And he killed her for it." " Ask me why." " I don't need to." "You're like every other lowlife" "Looking for an easy payday." "Detective." "What the hell do you know?" "Page and I started together in brooklyn." "Few women make it that far up the food chain" "Without stabbing each other in the back." "We watched out for each other." "We had a deal!" "Until she decided to quit." "Page used me to make unit chief." "My contacts, my snitches made her career." "And what do I get for it?" " What did you want?" "I was supposed to make captain!" "She gets sick and wants to bail" "For a man!" "You were jealous." "She owed me." "She doesn't walk until her debt's paid." "So what?" "I took the money." "I earned it." "I wanna ask you something." "Was it worth it?" "Talk to me in ten years when you have nothing" "No family, no future, and a dead career." "How's that sound?" "I'm not you, sunny." "I'm nothing like you." "Then why are you so scared?" " You have rights, detective qadri." "You have the right to remain silent" "Anything you say can and will be used against you" "In a court of law" "You have the right to an attorney." "If you cannot afford one," "One will be appointed to you."

"Previously on Desperate Housewives..." "Nora looked for trouble and found it..." "You will never again see my husband." "Julie got to know Edie's nephew..." "She couldn't take her eyes off my abs." "I felt violated." "Susan and Ian made plans..." "I'd love to go to France someday." "Would you like to go next month?" "Gabrielle and Carlos reunited..." "It's been a long time." "And dinner with the Bigsbys..." "That's the police report that Alma filed after Orson hit her." "Was full of surprises." "Look, I'm going through something." "I had an affair." "FRIDAY" "It was supposed to be an ordinary day for Carolyn Bigsby." "She had planned to bake her husband a strudel, give her dog a bath," "and water her african violets." "Yes, Carolyn had planned to do all sorts of things she thought mattered." "But earlier that day, a woman who wasn't her friend told Carolyn something she wasn't supposed to hear." "From that moment on, Carolyn felt... nothing really mattered anymore." "Hello, Carolyn." "Yeah, hey, how are you?" "Carolyn?" "What are you doing here?" "I've been thinking, Harvey, that if you loved this Monique woman so much, maybe you should be with her." "For God sakes, Carolyn, she's dead." "Yeah, I know." "Yes, Carolyn Bigsby had planned on it being an ordinary day..." "Harvey!" "You come out of there, damn it!" "But as every housewife knows..." "Down." "Nobody goes anywhere." "Plans change." "THE NIGHT BEFORE" "Lynette Scavo had a dream last night." "It was one she'd had many times before." "She dreamt of the last time she saw me... and of the last time we spoke." "Hey!" "Mary Alice, are you okay?" "Yes, thank you." "I'm fine." "Okay." "See you later." "It was still hard for Lynette to accept that this unremarkable exchange had been our last." "Or that moments later," "I would enter my house, and put a bullet through my brain." "FRIDAY MORNING" "I had the Mary Alice dream again last night." "Oh, hon, again?" "I haven't had it for months." "I don't know why it came back." "Well, somebody just bought her old house." "Maybe that triggered something." "It was awful, as always." "I saw she was in pain, and I just walked away and..." "There was nothing you could do." "And that's what I did, nothing." "Hey, is that the new neighbor?" "Oh, he's cute!" "Edie said he's a bachelor..." "Keep talking." "Who lives with his invalid sister." "You can stop now." "Should we go introduce ourselves?" "Yeah, let's give him the scoop on the neighborhood." "Do you think he knows Mary Alice shot herself in his living room?" "Then again, he probably wants some time to unpack." "Orson?" "If you have a moment, there's something I'd like your thoughts on." "Certainly." "What is it?" "The menu for our holiday open house?" "No, it's the police report from the night you beat your first wife." "I'm still working on the menu." "I assure you, I did not beat my wife." "She suffered these injuries in a fall." "Oh, how did she fall?" "I pushed her." "It was self-defense." "She attacked me." "Why would she attack you?" "She spilled some red wine on a white tablecloth." "She was trying to clean it up with dish soap." "When I pointed out her mistake, she started screaming, "Shut up, shut up!"" "And striking me repeatedly with a sauté pan." "Well, look..." "The police dropped the charges." "Where did you get this?" "Carolyn." "Well, of course." "Who else?" "If she paid this much attention to her own marriage, maybe" "Harvey wouldn't have cheated on her." "Harvey cheated?" "Yes, with some flight attendant named Monique." "Darling, I could never strike a woman." "Well, you do believe me, don't you?" "All right, I accept your explanation." "I just wish there were fewer things for you to explain." "By the way, to remove a red wine stain, you sprinkle salt to absorb it." "That's just what I was saying to Alma when she clocked me." "Whoa, what fresh hell is this?" "Hey, Tom..." "Whoa!" "Whoa, whoa!" "You have stepped onto my property, and you've talked to Tom." "That's two rules you've broken, and I'm not sure that top doesn't make three." "Would you tell your lunatic wife I'm not talking to her?" "You're the lunatic if you think I'm letting you anywhere" "near my husband." "Just drop Kayla off and go." "Kayla won't be visiting today." "We're moving." "And here's where you can send the child support." "Mexico?" "An old friend of mine got me a sweet job dancing at a nightclub in Tijuana." "Great, and you're taking Kayla?" "Thank your wife." "She's been itching to get rid of us ever since we got here." "She finally got her way." "Wave bye-bye to your Daddy, honey." "Nora, can't... can't we just talk about this?" "Oh, we're not allowed to talk." "Remember?" "She's Tom's daughter." "You can't just take her out of the country." "Watch me." "Does either party have anything to add before I rule on the division of assets and alimony?" "No, we're confident that your ruling will reflect the pain and suffering endured by my client." "Your honor, does the definition of "suffering" encompass the seduction of my client four days ago?" "Excuse me?" "She thought he was coming into some money and hoped to stall the divorce until she could claim her share." "How dare you!" "That is a vicious lie." "Oh, Carlos, give it to me!" "Carlos!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Carlos..." "You recorded our lovemaking?" "It's all right here, your honor." "When she climaxes, she actually starts screaming out dollar amounts." "Mrs. Solis..." "Would you like to respond?" "As a matter of fact, I do have a few thoughts." "Carlos, you're a dead man!" "Do you hear me?" "Oh, the ruling seems fair to me." "You get the house." "I just get everything in it." "I said dead!" "No alimony." "That's a drag." "But, hey, you like to work, right?" "Come on, just give me one clean shot at him." "I'm willing to do the time!" "Mom, I was packing your suitcase, and you're totally out of toothpaste." "Do you want me to go to the store and get some?" "What is this?" "Oh, um, it was Austin's, okay?" "Edie's nephew?" "Since when are you friends with him?" "Uh, we are not friends." "I was tutoring him, he brought beer," "I told him to throw it out, and he did." "End of story." "Did you have any?" "Oh, I cannot believe your timing." "I'm about to fly off to Paris, and you're inviting boys over for Oktoberfest." "Oh, that's it!" "Go to your room and finish packing." "This conversation's over." "The last time I checked, I was the parent." "Yeah, well, the last time I checked, I was the daughter who never gave you any reason to doubt her." "Okay, I know I..." "And don't play the parent card with me." "I just finished packing your suitcase, doing your laundry and balancing your checkbook." "And now I'm going to the store to buy your toothpaste." "Well, a simple "No, I didn't drink any beer" would've sufficed." "Bree!" "You haven't returned any of my calls." "I've been worried." "Have you told the wife-beater you're leaving him yet?" "Sorry, no." "Turns out he has an explanation for the police report." "Oh, come on." "There's never a good reason for hitting a woman." "I used to think that, too." "Then I met you." "Good day." "I'm trying to help you." "You're living in a fool's paradise." "Well, I guess that makes us neighbors." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It means you should stop worrying about my marriage and start worrying about your own." "Don't play coy with me." "You've got something to say, then just say it." "Okay." "Does the name Monique mean anything to you?" "Hey, I found this site that offers really cheap fares to Tijuana, but should I even be thinking of going to Tijuana?" "It's fine with me..." "Soon as you figure out a way to leave your genitals here." "What are you saying, Lynette?" "I'm not allowed to visit my daughter?" "What?" "See?" "This is exactly what she wants." "She takes Kayla, and I get blamed." "Well, screw her." "Let's sue for custody." "Full custody?" "You'd go for that?" "You bet I would." "Kayla will be much better off without Crazy in her life." "So will we." "I am right there with you." "I just..." "I never thought you'd want a fifth kid." "I don't, but I didn't want the first four, and they're starting to grow on me." "Hey, look whose plastic handcuffs got taken off." "Okay, you're clearly still a little miffed about the settlement." "But come on, be fair." "I did buy most of the stuff in this house, honey." "What the hell are you doing?" "!" "Oh, I'm helping you pack." "Think of all the money you're gonna save on bubble wrap." "Do you know how much that was worth?" "!" "Do you know how much I was worth?" "!" "When we met, I was on the cover of magazines." "I had a career and a future, but I gave it all up for you, and what did I get in return?" "If you break one more thing, so help me..." "What?" "What are you gonna do?" "Carlos, have you lost your mind?" "!" "Well, you're helping me pack my stuff." "I'm helping you remodel your house." "You know, I don't know about you, but I always thought there should be a window that was right there." "We can stop this right now, or we can keep on playing." "Your call." "Toothpaste, mouthwash..." "Did somebody get an anonymous e-mail?" "Said the boy with the economy-sized acne cream." "There you go again, checking out my basket." "Ugh, go away." "Do you know how much trouble your stupid beer can got me in?" "Well, then let me make it up to you." "I'll carry your stuff." "Whatever." "Yeah?" "Harvey, it's me." "Hey, hon, I'm in the middle of something here, so, um..." "I know about Monique." "Um, could you excuse me a second?" "Look, I don't know who you've been talking to, but, um..." "Did you love her?" "She was just a friend, and she disappeared eight months ago." "The police just found her body." "Eight months ago." "That's right when you fell into that big depression." "And I kept thinking, "Why is Harvey so blue?" "How do I cheer him up?" That was about her, wasn't it?" "It's over." "She's dead." "But if she weren't, who would you be with, me or her?" "She's dead." "That'll be $12.99." "I'll take your Fields card." "Couldn't keep your wallet in your pants?" "Mr. Bigsby?" "Look, um..." "I gotta go." "Mommy, look at us!" "I'll look as soon as I get back from the store." "Bye, mom!" "This is Edie." "Yeah, I'm his aunt." "He shoplifted what?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Be right there." "You're still packing?" "We're going to be late." "Nope, we're fine." "Besides, I can't leave until Julie gets back with my toothpaste." "Oh, we don't need it." "I packed a large tube and some dental floss." "Really?" "Why are Americans so amazed when the English display the slightest acquaintance with dental hygiene?" "Okay, I'm gonna need some help with this big baby." "Go!" "Zip, zip, zip!" "Uh, Susan, do you really need all this?" "I mean, we're not emigrating." "It's my first time in Paris." "I want it to be magical, and that means accessories, so back off." "It's the fashion capital of the world." "Uh, while I'm working, you can take my credit card and buy some new things." "No, no, I am not gonna spend your money." "I have an expense account." "And you just tell me this now?" "I'll tell the driver you'll be a minute." "Hello?" "Yes, this is her mother." "What?" "Well, you're gonna love the neighborhood." "Are you all moved in?" "Uh, pretty much." "Just waiting on some medical equipment for my sister." "Oh, yeah, I heard she isn't well." "Can I ask what's wrong with her?" "Oh, of course." "Unfortunately, she has this rare degenerative..." "Oh, that's rough." "Excuse me." "You told me you weren't even friends with him." "Now you're shoplifting together?" "Mom, you know I wouldn't steal." "Yeah, I wanna believe that, but suddenly you're having boys over, you're drinking beer..." "And soon she'll be listening to that rock 'n' roll music everybody's talking about." "So how are we gonna handle this?" "Listen, I have somebody in the car who's late for a plane." "Can you give me two minutes?" "Mom..." "I am so disappointed in you." "Hello, Carolyn." "Yeah, hey, how are you?" "Look, make him work it off." "You get a free stock boy for a month." "A month?" "It was a $10 bottle of whiskey." "Exactly." "You weren't even smart enough to steal the good stuff." "Harvey, don't walk away." "Come on." "Let's sort this out." "Hey, Nora." "How's tricks?" "I thought it was your car I saw in the lot." "You're a conniving bitch." "Ah, I see you've heard from our lawyer." "So it's not enough that you run me out of town." "You gotta steal my damn kid." "Carolyn, what are you doing here?" "I've been thinking, Harvey, that if you loved this Monique woman so much..." "Even you have to admit Kayla would be better off with us than in a dingy apartment over a Tijuana strip club." "Believe me, Lynette, you do not wanna screw with me." "You went after my husband." "If anyone should be afraid, it's you." "Go!" "Go!" "Harvey!" "Harvey, you come out of there, damn it!" "Down." "Everybody down." "Nobody goes anywhere." "Don't move." "Get down." "You can't be serious." "We have tickets." "The plane leaves in two hours." "I'm sorry." "I know, Julie picked a lousy time to rebel." "I just can't fly off and ignore it." "You're overreacting." "It's an adolescent prank, and you're turning it into some great bloody crisis." "You have a lot of meetings anyway." "We'll go some other time." "I can't leave Julie right now." "We'll take her with us." "Oh, that's responsible parenting." "Stealing whiskey?" ""That's it, young lady." "I'm taking you to Paris."" "Ah, ah, but that's just some ruse." "Once we get her on the plane, we'll make her fly coach-middle seat, no mercy." "I'm sorry." "It won't be Paris without you." "What the hell's going on?" "It's Mrs. Bigsby." "She has a gun." "What?" "I said nobody move!" "She's at the back." "I think we can make it." "Hey!" "Attention, shoppers, we're having a special today on not getting shot, but it's only available at the back of the store!" "Hey, how are ya?" "Thanks for joining us." "Do I know you?" "My son Jordan's in your Sunday school class." "Oh, he's a great little boy, so don't do anything that'll make him wake up tomorrow without a Mommy." "Um, for the rest of you, hi, I'm Carolyn." "I'm sorry for putting a crimp in your day, but I'm pretty sure that my cheating husband is in here right now phoning the police, so I'm counting on all you folks to help me keep them outside till Harvey and I have a chance to... talk things over." "Harvey!" "You're inconveniencing your customers." "Get out here!" "Yeah, she's got hostages!" "Oh, my God." "Austin's there, and Julie!" "Get your ass out there before someone gets hurt!" "What am I, a moron?" "She'll shoot me." "She has got ten innocent people out there." "Sometimes you've got to take one for the team." "Sweetie, it's Mommy." "I need to talk to Daddy." "Porter's hogging all the Legos." "Tell him I said to share." "Now put Daddy on." "I did tell them, but he says he needs them all for his robot." "Put Daddy on, and I'll buy you a real robot." "You will?" "A big one with laser beam eyes." "Now go get Daddy!" "I'm getting a real robot!" "A real robot?" "Come on, that's not fair." "I'm having a real bad day here." "Is a little cooperation too much to ask?" "Lynette?" "Lynette?" "It's terrible." "Terrible." "Excuse me, what's going..." "what's going on?" "Crazy woman with a gun in there!" "No, no, no!" "Stay back!" "Carolyn!" "Open up!" "My daughter's inside!" "Sorry, store's closed." "Yeah, but there's a crazy woman in there!" "Yeah, I know." "Quick, turn on the TV." "It's kinda on the fritz." "Well, turn on your radio." "If only you'd come ten minutes earlier." "Some woman is shooting up Fields Market." "She's got hostages." "Oh, my God!" "Yeah, we're all watching it over at Bree's house, and..." "Uh, is everything okay here?" "Yeah, everything's fine." "Having a little squabble." "Give us a minute." "Carlos, where do you think you're going with that?" "!" "Information is very thin at this time." "We do not see anybody in the front of the building at this hour but..." "Coffee's almost ready, and if you'd prefer to watch the coverage on channel 9, it's on in the den." "Orson, Greta needs a coaster." "Bree, have you heard?" "Oh, it's just awful." "Deviled egg?" "Oh, thank you." "I told you she'd have food." "I'm sure some of you might be thinking that this is all my fault, and that I'm the bad guy here, but I'm not." "He is." "Will you people stop calling me?" "I'm right in the middle of something." "He humiliated me." "First he cheated on me with a stewardess named Monique." "How cliché is that?" "And then he told people about it." "Now there are news trucks out there." "Judy Pope's husband has an affair, nobody finds out." "Mine cheats, and they break into programming!" "The whole town is laughing at me!" "You hear that, Harvey?" "I only told one person." "Well, it was clearly the wrong one." "I told you to stop calling me..." "Tish, I'm sorry." "I thought it was somebody else." "Oh, my God, was that today?" "I'm so sorry." "I know, Tish." "Yeah, I know." "I know I volunteered for the winter fair..." "How can you look so calm?" "Aren't you scared?" "No, because I'm not gonna die today... and neither are you." "Tish, I really don't think that I can." "I'm telling you, um..." "Oh, Tish, for God sakes, turn on your damn TV!" "Excuse me, my name is Susan Mayer." "Ma'am, this is a restricted area." "I would like to trade places with one of the people inside." "Don't... don't you do that?" "Oh, you mean our hostage exchange program?" "Okay, you don't have to be nasty." "My daughter is inside there." "Ma'am, we're doing everything we can to get her out safely." "Now please step back." "I want the perimeter locked down." "Nobody goes in, nobody goes out, and see if you can get me an open phone line with the manager's office." "Attention!" "Attention, Carolyn Bigsby!" "Where's that coming from?" "This is Susan Mayer... again." "First of all, I'm sorry for the "crazy lady" remark." "Second, I have a proposition for you." "Find her now!" "Let Julie go and take me instead." "Repeat, take me." "I will be a model hostage." "If we have a deal, signal by sending Julie to the..." "No, take your hands off me!" "Carolyn, Carolyn!" "Call my cell!" "It's 572..." "Now we don't know where anyone is inside the building right now, but we are standing by, waiting for information." "I'm hoping to talk to the chief of police in just a couple of minutes, get a few more details..." "Andrew, honey, would you please get the phone?" "Police have just released the name of the hostage taker." "It's Carolyn Bigsby, wife of store owner Harvey Bigsby." "Harvey has informed police that he is barricaded inside the store..." "Oh, my God, Bree, don't you know her?" "Uh, yes, um..." "I just... ran into her this morning." "Uh, mom?" "That was Edie Britt on the phone." "She's inside the market." "Is she all right?" "Yeah, uh, she's locked inside the manager's office, but she said that Julie Mayer and Mrs. Scavo are with the hostages." "Bree, would you mind watching the kids?" "I've got a doctor's appointment, and Lynette is taking her sweet time at the market." "I'm sorry." "Are you guys having a party?" "We continue to report live on the scene as the hostage standoff at Fields Market enters its third hour." "According to a police spokesman, there has been no further contact from the hostage taker." "We continue to wait for the latest information." "No new news at this point." "We will bring you the latest as soon as it becomes available." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "I just, I'm running out of food, and it's not as if I can go to the grocery store." "Bree..." "Thank God I found this stale baguette so I can make bruschetta, and there's shrimp in the freezer, so I'm gonna make my rice and seafood dish." "Bree, this is not your fault." "I had to tell her." "She hurt me, so I hurt her back." "If anything should happen to Julie or Lynette..." "Is there anything I can do?" "You can peel a clove of garlic." "Okay." "I wanted kids." "I wanted kids so badly but" "Harvey had two from his first wife." "He said it made her fat." "Harvey likes them lean." "I run four miles a day." "This is my first cookie in six years." "You hear that, Harvey?" "I'm breaking my diet!" "She's starting to lose it out there." "What do I do?" "Just keep her calm, tell her you're sorry, and see if you can get her to release the kids and old people." "Okay, I'll try." "Carolyn..." "Honey, uh, it's me, Harvey." "Look, I'm really sorry." "What I did was wrong, but I still love you a lot." "Cut the crap." "I had my hair done this morning." "Did you notice?" "Did you even notice?" "Well, I was distracted." "You were shooting at me." "Tell her let the kids go." "Who the hell was that?" "!" "You got a woman in there?" "She's a customer!" "Don't lie to me, Harvey!" "She's another one of your whores, isn't she?" "Oh, fantastic!" "Carolyn, I swear..." "Shut up." "I hope you're having a good time in there, whore, 'cause I got a bullet for you, too." "God, what a nightmare." "You know what the weird part is?" "What?" "I keep thinking about that crazy lady in the market, and..." "I understand her." "I could be her." "Come on." "No, I mean it." "The rage that I have felt in these past six months..." "If I had had a gun in the courthouse today..." "You could never shoot me." "I don't know what I'm capable of anymore." "This divorce has turned me into this... bitter, hateful person, and I don't like her." "Hey, baby." "And for what it's worth, I don't like what it's turned you into either." "Then let's stop being those people." "Okay." "Okay." "Hey, just so you know..." "I heard the woman in there teaches Sunday school." "A Sunday school teacher would never hurt a kid." "No way." "Thank you." "I'm sure Lynette's gonna be fine, too." "Oh, I'm not worried about Lynette." "Hell, with Lynette in there, they don't even need that negotiator." "You put Lynette in a room with a woman who wants to shoot her husband, she'll have them renewing their vows." "Right." "Lynette is very persuasive." "I give it an hour, tops." "Then we'll all be back home eating our hamburgers." "She was gonna go to the store tomorrow, but we were out of hamburger." "I wanted hamburgers." "I hope all this is giving you a little perspective on our situation." "Shh!" "She told us not to talk." "You're thinking about your kids, right?" "How awful it'd be to never see them again." "Well, that's what you're asking me to feel, but for the rest of my life!" "Nora, please!" "Hey, what'd I say?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "We'll... we'll be quiet." "You and your friend are really starting to bug me." "She's not my friend." "She's trying to steal my kid." "Nora, shut up!" "Is that true?" "No!" "I... we're..." "We have..." "We're sharing custody, and then, she tried to seduce my husband, so..." "She put the moves on your husband?" "Why didn't you say so?" "That was a shot!" "We just heard a shot fired inside the building." "A shot has been fired." "I believe the phrase you're looking for is "thank you"." "We just had a shot." "We heard a shot fired inside the market." "You can see police are responding, taking this very seriously." "We are going to just continue to stand and watch and wait and see what happens." "It was on television at the airport." "I came as soon as I could." "The last thing I said to her was that she disappointed me." "Police have just confirmed that a hostage has been shot." "Repeat, a hostage has been shot." "There's no word on the name of the victim at this time, but it is believed to be female." "Mrs. Hodge?" "When's Mommy gonna be back from the store?" "I'm sure she'll be back soon." "Why don't we, uh, go have some cookies?" "Mommy said we can't have cookies before dinner." "I'm sure she won't mind." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on." "Okay, I gotta keep the pressure up to stop the bleeding!" "Good news is you won't need that lawyer now." "You are gonna get through this just fine." "There is a parking lot full of ambulances out there." "You gotta let us take her out of here!" "No one's leaving." "Listen to me..." "Lynette..." "About Kayla..." "Oh, forget it!" "Forget it!" "We'll work that out later." "No..." "I don't have... have later, you stupid bitch." "Okay?" "So listen." "Okay, I'm listening." "Kayla's the only good thing that I've ever done in my whole life." "I need you to really take really good care... of her." "Okay?" "I don't have all day." "Come on." "Yeah, yes, I will, I will, I will." "I will love her like she is my own." "I will, Nora." "Nora?" "Nora!" "Oh, don't look at me that way." "You know you wanted her dead." "How can you say that?" "Well, you told me about her and your husband after I made it pretty clear where I stand on whores." "I did not want this." "Don't you dare say that I wanted this." "Shut up!" "No, I will not shut up!" "What's the matter with you?" "!" "Have you not been paying attention?" "My husband cheated on me!" "Who cares?" "!" "Who cares?" "We all have pain!" "Everyone in here has pain, but we deal with it!" "We swallow it and get going with our lives!" "What we don't do is go around shooting strangers!" "She deserved it!" "Well, maybe you deserved to be cheated on!" "I'm.." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have said that." "Yeah, you shouldn't have." "By Tyno, Wisteria Team Transcript by YDY" "Lynette Scavo had a dream that night." "It was one she'd had many times before." "Hey!" "Mary alice, are you okay?" "Yes, thank you." "I'm fine." "Okay." "I'll see you later." "But this night, something changed." "No, you're not." "I can tell." "Please..." "Tell me what's wrong." "Let me save you." "You can't." "Why not?" "Sweetie, we can't prevent what we can't predict." "Isn't there anything I can do?" "Yes." "You can enjoy this beautiful day." "We get so few of them." "This was the last time Lynette would ever dream of me, and for her sake," "I am grateful."

"You coming or not?" " All right, I'll get her to you right away." " Appreciate it." " Hi." " Hi." "Dr. Klyczynski to ER, stat." "Dr. Klyczynski to ER, stat." " Hi, excuse me."

"You'll be covering 22 patients on rounds today, this floor and the next." " Twenty-two?" " Quiet morning." "If you get into trouble, beep me, but don't make it a habit." "The med students will help you out with scutwork." "What's he doing here?" "I ordered an MRI, stat." " Transport said about four hours." " He could be dead in four hours." "Never mind." "Dr. Forster, MRI." " A right, two lefts, elevator to two." " Okay." "Follow the signs." "Hustle back here for rounds." "Dr. Kly..." " Are you taking me somewhere?" " I certainly hope so, sir." " How are you feeling today?" " Am...?" "Am I gonna make it?" "Yes." "Absolutely." "Alex!" "I made my famous spinach pie." "The trailer's nice and toasty." "I can't." "Look, it's really cold out here." "Don't get sick on me or anything." "I never get sick." "So I heard you bought a house, and apparently I'm the last one to know." "I thought I mentioned that." "Wait." "Where?" "Outside of town." "Up the shore a little bit." "Up the shore?" "There's no houses..." "Oh, God." "You don't mean that thing with the stilts and the...?" " You all right?" " Yeah." "Are you crazy?" "Why would you take that house, Alex?" "It's made of glass." "There's no privacy." "Mona?" "Get yourself some boots." "Hey, Gonzalez!" " Four-thirty." " You lost?" " Yeah." " Takes a while to get your bearings." " I'm Madhvi." " Kate Forster." "Hi." "Oh, wrong floor." "Where'd you do your residency?" "Just a little community hospital up on the North Shore." "Dear new tenant, welcome to your new home." "As the previous tenant, let me say I hope you'll like living here as much as I did." "I filed the change of address with the post office but you know what a crapshoot that can be." "So if anything slips through, would you do me a favor and forward my mail?" "I'd appreciate it." "My new address is below." "Thanks in advance." "P. S:" ""Sorry about the paw prints by the front door." "They were there when I moved in." "Same with the box in the attic."" "Paw prints?" "What the hell is she talking about?" "Hey, baby girl." "Hi." "Hi." "Hey." "Fix the light." "Get dog food, huh?" "Get human food." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey, come here." "Sixty degrees on Valentine's Day." "Can't be Chicago." "The TV says it's global warming." "The icebergs start melting, water covers the Earth." "Thank God we won't live to see it." "What's this?" "That's nothing." "It's one of your father's." " Dostoyevsky?" " Oh, yeah." "It's about a guy who breaks the neck of a poor woman with an axe and, so far, keeps wandering around regretting it." "This is good." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "It's really good." "I'll meet you there." "What are you thinking?" "My folks are coming into town." "Nothing." "When your father passed away, it was hard." "It still is hard." "Holding his books, I feel like he's with me somehow." "Knowing that he was once on the same pages reading the same words." "Oh, my God!" "Somebody call an ambulance!" "We need an ambulance at Daley Plaza." "A man has been struck by a bus." "Get an EMT crew here." "Sir..." "Get out the street." "Get on the sidewalk." " On the sidewalk." "Off the street." " Sir?" "Get on the sidewalk!" "Get on the sidewalk!" "I'd like to get the foundation on number 17 dug today." "Look, I know you're kind of new around here, kid." "What?" "I can't get to 17 until at least next week." "Come on, Mulhern." "That's bullshit and you know it." "Take Clemens and Rodriguez off of roofing." "Jorge can run the backhoe they're not using on 14 and grab four or five of those other guys who are doing nothing on seven and 10." "Paulie, Carlos, Frank, Danny, and what's-his-name, the tall guy?" " Rafael." " Rafael." " Let's go." " Okay." " Ready?" " Yeah." " Well, I need it to 10 and 11." " Hey!" "Housekeeping ER to the Suture Room, please." "Housekeeping ER to the Suture Room." " Hey." " Hi." "I heard about Daley Plaza." "EMT said you fought hard for the guy." "Yeah." "Really knocked myself out." "Kate, I'm going to tell you what I tell every young doctor." "Hopefully, you'll be the first to listen." "On your day off, get as far away from this place as you can." "Go someplace where you feel most like yourself." "Dear Ms. Forster:" "I got your note and I'm afraid there must be some kind of misunderstanding." "As far as I know, the lake house has been empty for several years." "Maybe your note was intended for the Sandburg house down the shore..." ""...since no one has lived in this house for years." "But I'm curious about the paw prints."" "Dear Mr. Wyler, I'm very familiar with the Sandburg cottage and I can guarantee I never lived there." "I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think a cottage should be over 6000 square feet." "So let me try again." "I used to live at the lake house, then I moved." "Now I live at 1620 North Racine in Chicago." "I'd appreciate it if you would forward my mail if you get any." "Oh, by the way, it's 2006." "Has been all year, ask anyone." "2006?" "What does she mean, 2006?" "God." "Oh, God." " Good morning, Mr. Wyler." " Morning, Mr. Wyler." " Morning, sir." " Morning, morning." "Hello, Mr. Wyler." "Mr. Wyler." "Sir." "Well, obviously, I derived my inspiration for the metaphor of the fugue, the loop..." "Yeah." " Two hours of that shit." "You kidding me?" " What are you talking about?" " He didn't say a word." " Sadistic, bitter, bitter old man." "I think you're being a little overdramatic." "Where are you going?" "Man, I love that place." "I can't believe that thing's still running." "Yep." "You look like shit." "I missed you too." "Hey, forget about him." " Condos." " Riviera Estates." " You're joking." " I don't believe this." "I come back after four years and I get this in front of me." " What?" "My brother thinking he's Frank Lloyd Whatever." " Oh, come on." " Dad keeps you hostage in that little mythmaking factory of his while you haven't built so much as a phone booth or a hamster cage." "That's funny you say that, actually." "I have a hamster cage in mind." "A development of them, actually." "Prefab, no foundations." "What do you think about that?" "See, that's what I'm talking about." "You have vision." "Speaking of which I'd like you to know I bought a house." " Where?" " On the lake." "A lake house." "So you are making some money." "Well, it's a dump." "Been abandoned for years, but..." "So you got an abandoned, haunted lake hou..." "That's as good a reason as any for selling out and joining the flabby-developers' guild." " How about this?" "I even got a dog." " You got a dog?" "He just showed up at the house from out of nowhere." " What are we doing here?" " I have to deliver a letter." "It should be here." "1620 North Racine." "But there's nothing here." "Are we meeting someone?" "Does somebody live here?" "What?" "Yeah." "I thought so." "Should we ring the bell?" "Dear Ms. Forster:" "I went to 1620 North Racine, and it's not there." "It's just a construction site." "From the pictures it looks nice, but not for another 18 months." "What am I missing here?" "Maybe you got the address wrong, because you got the date wrong too." "You really wanna play this game." "If you are truly in the year 2004 then be forewarned." "Remember that day?" "You were not happy." "Remember that?" "I know." "Okay, my mystery correspondent, I get it." "Just in case you really are where and when you think you are you'll need this." "There was a freak late snow that spring and everyone got sick." "So plenty of rest, lots of fluids." "Doctor's orders." "Snow." "Right." "Yeah, come to papa." "Jackie." "Jack." "Jack, come on." "Come on, girl." "Come on, come on." "Jack." ""Lmpossible, I know." "Not possible but it's happening."" "Okay." "Where am I?" "Very clever." ""The lake house."" "The lake house." "As you can see, I, too, am at the lake house but I'm getting tired of these games so I'm leaving, okay?" "Bye." "Thank you." "Bye." "Maybe we should introduce ourselves properly." "I'm a doctor, dedicated to curing the sick." "At least, trying to." "I'm an architect." "I like to build." "And while I wouldn't say my current project is ideal it allows me to be here, in this place, and that's enough for now." "But tell me something." "If you're working in a hospital in Chicago now where were you before, in my time?" "Two years ago, in your time I was working in internal medicine in Madison." "Tell me about the future." "What's it like in the year 2006?" "I'm afraid the world's pretty much the same." "Of course, we all dress in shiny metal jump suits and drive flying cars and no one talks anymore because we can read each other's minds." "But the truth is, man from the past not much has really changed in 2006." "Speaking of the past, though, I've been thinking about the paw prints." " How is that possible?" " Well, I think we have the same dog." "Oh, yeah?" "What's yours like?" "According to the vet, mine is eight years old in my time six in yours." "She's skinny, has sad eyes, snores, and sleeps like a person." "I don't know why, but I call her Jack." "Hello, Jack." "It's nice out here." "Let's not go out for dinner." "Let's stay here." " Hey." " We have to eat." "What are you doing?" "You're supposed to be asleep." "I'll cook." "I thought you didn't like to cook." "No, I don't like to cook." "Is she gonna marry him?" " What do you think?" " I don't know." "He's kind of old." " Where are you going?" " Okay, he's not that old." "My mom's last boyfriend was bald." "He was nice but my mom didn't marry him." " No?" ""There's always something better coming around the corner."" "That's what she says." "Maybe that's what that lady should do." "Wait for something better to come around the corner." " Maybe." "But if she's not careful, she could spend her whole life waiting." "Do you want me to bring anything back with me?" "Yes." "What about a nice bottle of wine to celebrate?" " What time shall I come back?" " Seven o'clock." "Sorry I haven't made it to the mailbox lately." "It's been a long week." "All night shifts." "Good to hear from you." "I thought you left me." "You should know that you're my only connection to the future." "How come we never talk about the things we like?" "Well, let's see." "Reading the classics to Jack." " Who's his favorite?" " Dostoyevsky." "For me, this city, on a day when the light is so clear that I can touch every detail every brick and window in the buildings I love." "Come on, take a walk with me this Saturday." "Let me show you." "You're crazy." "Why are you going through all this trouble for me?" "No trouble." "Summer's here." "Okay, your turn." "Favorite things." "Where to start?" "Okay." "When I smell the flowers before I see them." "When it starts to rain just as the picnic is ending." "And I love the smell of Jack's paws." "You didn't forget to mention your husband, did you?" "Well, of course I love my husband, who is also a doctor." "Plastic surgeon for small farm animals." "Good." "I'm married too." "I've got eight children, and none of them look like me." " I'm worried, Kate." " I would be too." "I'm single." "Me too." "Number 27." "She's a beauty." "My father used to tell me she was the grandma for all the houses in the city." "He used to take me on walks like I'm taking you now." " Alex?" " Kate?" "I wish we could have done this walk together." "So, what do you think?" "He sounds like a nice boy." "Sounds like a nice boy." "Anything else?" " He has wonderful penmanship." " Mother look at the date on the letter." "The date." " You mean the time thing?" " Yes." " That's just a detail." " Just a detail?" "About the..." "The other day it was not a good moment." "I was in a hell of a hurry." "Of course." "You've got some nice pieces here." "Oh, yeah." "Music's fine, music helps." "It's like Nietzsche says:" " "Life would be senseless..." - "Without music."" "I guess I told you that, huh?" "Pour yourself a drink." "Can you appreciate a good wine by now?" "You bet." "You know, you'll have to forgive your father for being curious but where have you been all these years?" "I thought your Kerouac days were behind you." " I'm sorry, what?" " What?" "Oh, you can come up, if you like." "What are you working on?" "Oh, I'm just..." "I'm just remembering things." "It's not such an easy job, let me tell you." "Nor is it particularly innocent, in my case." "Your father is writing his memoirs." " Are we in it?" " What do you think?" "Do you wanna be?" "Do you?" "Of course." "You were all a part of your father's life." "Why are you talking to me in the third person?" "Well, I..." "I don't..." "Because I'm writing about myself, I suppose." "Why, doesn't it suit you?" "I thought you might like these." "What are these?" "Something you've been working on?" "No, they're..." "They're yours." "From a house I just bought on the lake." "Oh, yes, I heard." "They said some sleazy little condo developer had snapped it up." "Oh, come on." "Indulge your father." "Can't you take a little joke, for God's sake?" "Come on." "Tell me." "Where have you been?" "I really want to know." "I was trying to forget you." "Or forgive you." "Did you succeed?" "No." "Let me know if you need any help remembering." "Oh, yeah, I will." "Charging 360." "Get 1 milligram of epi." "Have 300 amio ready in case we need it." " All clear?" " Clear." "Hold compression, start bagging." "He's got a rhythm." "Slow." " Do we have a pulse with that?" " We got a pulse, thready." " It's getting stronger." " Long days, these days." "I just worked 30 hours straight." "Every time I stop to take a breath I realize how isolated I've let myself become." "Believe me, you can get a bit desperate." "That one?" "Okay." "There you go." "Nice move." "Very nice." "Nice." "It's not that I'm complaining, I love my work." "And our tour through Chicago opened my eyes to its beauty." "But my heart still misses the lake house and its trees." "I miss those trees so much." "Don't worry, Kate." "We'll be together in time." "Even if we're far apart, I'll find a way to be close to you and take care of you." "Katerina." "Take this." " You should eat more." "You too skinny." " I'm not too skinny." "Remember how you used to eat when you were little?" " With your hands." " Yes, I remember." "Now, did you or did you not write to each other?" " To your father?" " No, to Clark Gable." "Yes, to Dad." "I..." "What, Mom?" "Before your father..." "Yeah?" " There was this boy." "Did you love him?" "Yeah." "Well, why didn't you marry him?" "So that you could ask me this question someday." "Looks smaller." "When did he complete it?" "You weren't born yet, and I was 8." "Corbusier meets Frank Lloyd Wright." "You know, Dad played cards with both of them." " Sharing a joint." " Yeah, well..." "Can't swim." "There should be a stairway down to the water, a porch, a deck." "Here, you're in a..." "In a box." "A glass box with a view to everything that's around you but you can't touch it." "No interconnection between you and what you're looking at." "I don't know, you know." "He's got this big maple growing right in the middle of the house." " Containment." "Containment and control." "This house is about ownership, not connection." "I mean, it's beautiful." "Seductive, even." "But it's incomplete." "It was all about him." "Dad knew how to build a house, not a home." "But you know I think he wants us to do what he couldn't." "But admitting that would mean admitting that he came up short in some way that he could do more." "And that tortures him." "Do you remember being here with Mom?" "I remember she tried to make it work here with us with him." "Hey, what about Visionary Vanguard?" " What about it?" " Come on." "You can't convince me you're gonna be happy building saltboxes for tourists." "Nobody's gonna admire you for that." " Admire me for that?" " Yeah, Visionary Vanguard." "That's your idea." "I can't." "But you can keep the name." "No, come on." "It's gotta be you and me." "Henry, I'm sorry, I can't." "I just..." " What?" " I've got other plans." "You have a girlfriend?" "No..." "No." " What is that?" "You hesitated." " No, I didn't hesitate." "Come on, man." "I don't have any time for that." "What does time have to do with it?" "Oh, you're gonna think I'm crazy." "My dearest Mr. Wyler:" "Are you willing to play a game with me?" "Two years ago today, I was taking the 145 train to Madison from the Riverside station and I forgot something there." "It was a gift from my father." "If you find it, can you please put it in the mailbox?" "It would mean a lot." "Yours, Kate." " Final call for the 5:46 to Madison." " Do you really wanna know?" "Come on." " All aboard." " Okay." "I'll call you." "Kate, I found it." "I have it with me." "One day I'll get it to you." "Trust me." "I know how important it is to you." "You might not remember, but we saw each other." "At least, I saw you." "You never told me how beautiful you are." "Well, maybe you saw somebody else." "That was a bad hair year for me." "Long brown hair." "Gentle, unguarded eyes." "Okay, okay, okay." "You saw me." "But I still don't know what you look like." "Well, why don't we just get together in the future and you can let me know what you think." "It's a date." "Okay." "Why don't you call me July 10th, 2006 at 9:05 p.m." " Hello." " Kate?" " Yes." " It's Morgan." "Morgan." "I'm in Chicago." "I came for a meeting, but it was canceled so I thought I'd give you a call." "Hey, have you eaten?" " No, but I'm not..." " Neither have I. I realized I'm starving." " We could grab a quick bite." " Okay." " Yeah?" " All right." " Hey, wait up." " Watch out, man." " All right." " Looks pretty good." " Perfect." " No, Morgan, it's..." " It's not." " No, no, trust me." "It's..." "Okay." "Hi there." "One sec." "Could you hold on for a moment?" " We'd love a table for two." " The name?" "We don't..." "We don't have a reservation." "I'm sorry, sir, we're booked until October." "October?" "Well I'll get back to you." "That went well." "It's no big deal." "Oh, come on, stop it." "It's the best restaurant in town." "Nobody gets a table here." " No, it's not that." " Well, what is it?" "I didn't do this right." " There wasn't a meeting." " You'd see me if there was no big deal." " Lf it was just..." " Ambush." " You know, coffee, and coffee can turn into dinner dinner can turn into..." " Turn into what?" "I do sometimes get a few steps ahead of myself." "Morgan, a few steps?" "You're always leaping 10 steps ahead." "We were dating, what, a week?" "And you had our entire future mapped out for us?" "In my residency, you were picking out real estate." "I'd go to your house you'd have the entire town in your house to meet me." "I do seem to remember that you made pretty fast friends with one of them." "What are you talking about?" "You know what I'm talking about." " That guy." " What guy?" " The guy I caught you making out with." " I wasn't making out with him." "What, are we in junior high school right now?" "What do you call it, then?" "A kiss." "It was just one kiss with some random guy that just..." "Years..." "You know what?" "Gentlemen unit 381 on Riviera Estates is complete." "Congratulations." "You did a good job." " One down..." " Forty-four to go." "We're not terrifyingly behind schedule, just alarmingly." "It'll be okay." "The guys are getting to know their job but we could use another backhoe." "And the water on 14 needs to be resealed." "Shut up." " What?" " I'm kind of disappointed in you." " Why?" " You're supposed to be on top of things." " I thought I was." " Well, you never noticed these." "Remember?" "You told me to get them." "Right, right." "Not exactly what I had in mind, but..." " You like them?" " I like them." "I think we should go out." "Tonight." "If you're not doing any..." "Jack?" "Jack." "Hey, Jack." "Jack!" "Come on, Jack!" "Alex, wait for me!" "Jack!" "Jack!" "Jack!" "Jack!" " Yours, I take it?" " Yeah." "Yeah, sorry." "Thanks." "Come here, Jack." "What were you thinking, huh, girl?" "What were you thinking?" " She's never run off like that." " You gotta keep an eye on them." " What's his name?" " Her." "Jack." "Jack." "It's a good name for a girl." "I should get one like you for my girlfriend." "She loves dogs." " Hey, have we met before?" " No, don't think so." " Morgan Price." " Alex Wyler." " Hey, man, you need a hand with this?" " Yeah." " Okay." " Lived here long?" "Just a few months." "I've got a place on the lake." " The lake, really?" "I've been thinking..." " Alex." "Oh, good." " Thank God you found him." " Yeah." "Mona, Morgan." "Morgan, Mona." " Well, hello." " Hi." " It's good to meet you." " Nice to meet you too." "Nice boots there." "Just so you don't think I'm gonna drink all this by myself I'm having friends over tonight for a party." "You two are welcome to come." "Oh, hey, Alex." "Take my card." "I might be looking to rent a place on the lake myself." " Okay." "It's Kate, my girlfriend, she's never really liked this place and I promised we'd look for something new once she finishes her residency." "So if you hear of anything..." " Sure." "She's a doctor?" " Yeah." "Alex." " Great to meet you, Morgan." " Great to meet you." "Hey, Morgan, what time's that party at?" "Eight o'clock." "It's Kate's birthday." "It's Kate birthday." "Come on, Jack." " Hi." " Hi." " What can I get you?" " Glass of white wine, please." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "According to most accepted social norms a person should not drink alone after 10 p." "M unless they have a good excuse." "What's yours?" "Gosh, don't have one." "I do." "My youngest left for college this morning." "Marie." "One day she's splashing around a wading pool in diapers then she's packing up a Volvo and driving to California." "I just hope she knows what she's getting into." "Don't tell me." " Premed?" " Bingo." " Hey, how are you?" "Good to see you." " I'm well, thanks." "I want you to meet some friends of mine." "Alex, Mona, the Wootch." " Susan, Johnny." " Hi." "Let's get you something to drink." "Come on." "Bar's back here." "Come on." "Hey, this is Marjorie." "Why didn't you mention it was today?" "We would have had a cake for you or something." "Oh, it's just time passing." "I hate making a big deal out of it." "You keep a lot to yourself." "Nothing wrong with it." "But I've sometimes wondered what else you have in your life besides work." "Family?" "Boyfriend?" "Well, I did." "Once." "His name was Morgan." "Morgan?" "Morgan." "That's a sexy name." "Surprise!" "Happy birthday, Kate." " Happy birthday." " Happy birthday." "We got you." " This is Kate, obviously." " Hi, Kate." "This is Alex and Mona." " Hi." " Hi." "This guy's gonna help us find our lake house." "Right?" "You haven't had cake." "Anyway, well, I ended it." "And I'm happy now, and it was the right thing to do." "So who is it you write to?" "I couldn't help..." "Every time you get a break at the hospital you're writing something." " There is someone." "It's kind of a long-distance relationship." " How did you meet?" " We haven't." " What?" " No." " The story of my life." " You're kidding." "Keep everything at a distance." "Everyone." "The man who was standing in front of me the one that wanted to marry me him, I push away." "I run from him." "In the meantime, the..." "The one man I can never meet him, I would like to give my whole heart to." "He must write one hell of a letter." "It's nice." "It's safe." " Christ, he's in prison, isn't he?" " No." " You're one of those women, aren't you?" " No." "No, he's just a guy who lives on a lake." "He's an architect." "Oh, my God." "Happy birthday." "Thank you." " I hope it's a great year for you." " Thank you." "I'm Alex." "The lake-house guy." "Oh, yeah." "How you doing?" "May I?" "So you're gonna..." "You're gonna find us a place on the lake, huh?" " I hope so." " Yeah." "If I can." "You're a real-estate agent?" "No, I..." "I just have a lake house." "Is it nice?" "Yeah, you'll love it." "You're gonna rent it after I move out." "Oh, really?" "Kate, have you read Persuasion?" "What?" " By Jane Austen." " I know who it's by." "Yeah, it's..." "It's my favorite book." "Why did you bring something like that up?" "What made you bring that up?" "I just..." "A friend of mine gave it to me recently, and I was wondering what it was about." "It's..." "It's wonderful." " Yeah." " Yeah." "It's about..." "About waiting." "These two people, they..." "They..." "They meet." "They almost fall in love, but the timing isn't right." "They..." "They have to part." "And then years later, they..." "They meet again." "They get another chance." "You know, but they don't know if too much time has passed." "If they waited too long, if it's you know, too late to make it work." "Why do you like that?" "I don't know." "Don't get me wrong." "It's beautiful in a kind of..." " No, it's terrible." " It's terrible." " That's terrible." " It's terrible." "That's..." "Yeah, it's..." "That's terrible." "It's a personal question but have you ever been through anything like that?" " Me?" "No." "No, no." " No." "When I was..." "When I was 16 I was completely in love with this guy." "He played guitar and I ran away from home and went to San Francisco so I could go live with him." "Yeah, he convinced me I had a beautiful voice and I dreamed of becoming a singer." "I love San Francisco." "Yeah, he was..." "He was my first love." "Probably the only one." " He must have been a great guy." " I don't..." "I don't know, I..." "He may have been." "It didn't last long enough for me to find out." "Yeah." "Truth is, I..." "I can't even remember what he looked like." " Really?" " Yeah." "Then that's too bad." "My dad..." "My dad showed up, actually." " You were in trouble." " He came in." "Yeah, I was in trouble." "He yanked me back to Chicago." "Yeah." "And he was sick, and he..." "He had these..." "These dreams of me becoming a doctor, you know?" "You know, and eventually, they became my dreams too." "He was right." "You know, I..." "I feel good helping people." "Then he died." "Kate." "What?" "I..." "You...?" "I just..." "What?" "Do you know this song?" "Yeah." " Do you sing?" " No." "Nobody wants to hear me sing." "You don't wanna hear me sing." "L..." "I didn't mean, you know..." "But, yeah." "But I can dance." "Kate." "Hey." "Alex was..." "Alex was just telling me about the..." "The lake house." " Yeah, it sounds..." "Sounds really great." " Great." "Alex, it's late." "Yeah." "Yeah." " Good night." " Good night." "It was you." " You working tomorrow night?" " Yeah." "Why didn't you say anything?" "You would've thought I was crazy or drunk." "Or both." "Yeah, but I liked you." "You should have said something." "How?" "You were with your boyfriend." "You know what?" "Excuses, excuses." "You are a coward." "I'm not a coward." "Oh, really?" "Well, what about your girlfriend?" "What?" "I told you already she's not my girlfriend." " He's not my boyfriend either." "Oh, really?" "Well, what is he, then?" "Your brother?" "We have a comedian." "What'd you have, a clown for breakfast this morning?" "Wonderful." "Our first fight." "You could write a song about it and go sing it in San Francisco." "What?" "Hello." "Hey, Henry." "What?" "You'll let me know if you need anything?" "Yes, I will." " Hi." " Good afternoon." "I'm looking for my father." "I don't know which room he's in." "Simon Wyler?" " Mr. Wyler, the architect?" " Yes." "I'm Anna Klyczynski." "I'm the Attending for your father." "Hey." "What happened?" "How is he?" "He's okay." "He's had a heart attack." "Fortunately, relatively minor." "His vitals are fine and he's stable but it will require an intervention." "He's agreed to schedule it for tomorrow." "Good to see you're taking it easy." "Well, you..." "You didn't need to come." "I'm perfectly well." "Perfectly all right." "Well, you had a heart attack, Dad." "I had an episode, for chrissake." "Nothing more." "Appreciate it if you kept everything in its perspective." "Well then, I just wanna let you know I'm here if you need anything." "Coffee." "What?" "You heard me." "Coffee." "There's something I never told you, Kate." "You see, it was my father who built the lake house." "I mean, with his own hands." "And it was a long time ago, before he was famous when he still had a family and worshipped my mother." "Her name was Mary, and the house was a gift for her." "She was smart and funny." "She could have done anything, but chose to take care of my brother and I and help him build his career." "You see, the more successful he became, the more impossible he was to live with." "Finally, she just couldn't take living with him anymore." "She left him." "Within a year, she got sick." "Unfortunately, she never learned how to stop loving him." "He wasn't at the funeral." "When I asked him why..." "Go on, Alex." "What did he say?" "He said, "She was dead to me the moment she stepped out of the house."" "And then he gave me one of his architect-of-the-year grins." "I hope you appreciate this." "I had to sneak past three nurses and your Attending." "Oh, jeez, it's hot." "It's not decaf, is it?" "It should be, but it isn't." "That's not bad." "Thank you son." " You're welcome." " Where's your brother?" "I sent him away." "He wasn't feeling well." " You know how he is, he worries." " Yeah, I know." "He gets that from your mother, I'm afraid." "She always worried too much." "What are you looking at?" "Oh, yeah, here, take a gander." "It's a proposal for a museum." " Who is it?" " Someone new." "Oh, I like the walkways, where the light falls." "What are the materials?" "Granite." "Aluminum." "White panels are straight out of Meier but the interior color coming through the front windows, that's different." "It's not new, but it's clean, uncluttered." "I like it." "When was the last time you were in Barcelona?" "Years ago, with you, Mom and Henry." "Do you remember visiting Casa de la Caritat?" "The almshouse." "That's right." "You mentioned Meier." "His Barcelona museum stands in the same area as Casa de la Caritat." "It drinks the same light." "Meier designed a series of louvered skylights to capture that light and cast it inward to illuminate the art within, but indirectly." "And that was important, because although light enhances art it can also degrade it." "But you know all that already, you son of a gun." "Now, this where do you suppose this is to be built?" "I have no idea." " Oh, but you said you liked it." " Conceptually." "Now, come on." "You know as well as I do that the light in Barcelona is quite different from the light in Tokyo." "And the light in Tokyo is different from that in Prague." "A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the tests of time never disregards its environment." "An architect takes that into account." "He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature." "He must be captivated by the light." "Always the light." "Always." "Hey." "I have an emergency." "Take my shift." "Please." "Hello." " Mr. Wyler?" " Yes." "This is Dr. Klyczynski at Chicago City Hospital." "I'm afraid I have some difficult news for you." "I'm so sorry, Alex." "I wish somehow I could be there with you that we could sit together and look out over the water and the light in this house your father built." "I could be a shoulder for you like you've been for me." "And tell you that everything is gonna be okay." "If I could do one thing for you today from here one small, simple thing from the future I hope this is it." "It won't be published for a couple of years but I don't think you should have to wait that long." "I hope it helps you know how much you were loved." "Pick a place." "I'll be there, I promise." "Tomorrow, what do you say?" "But, Alex, it won't be tomorrow for you." " You're gonna have to wait two years." " I know, I don't care." "I'll wait." "Are you sure?" "I don't know." "I do." "I've never been so sure of anything in my life." "Okay." "I'll see you in two years, then." "See you tomorrow, then." "Kate where would you like to go?" "II Mare." "When were you hoping to dine with us?" "Two years from tomorrow." " Two years from tomorrow?" " Yeah." " Two years?" " From tomorrow." " Hi." " Hello." "Name?" "Forster." " Can I have your name?" " Wyler." "Or Wyler, I'm..." "I'm really not sure." "I think we should be able to accommodate you." " Great." " Wyler?" "Wyler." "Your waiter will be right with you." "Good evening, miss." "Complimentary." " Thank you." " Good luck." "Another glass for the lady?" "You weren't there." "You didn't come." "I don't understand." "Something must have happened." "I'm sorry." "I've got two years, Kate." "We can try again." "No, Alex, it's too late." "It already happened." "It didn't work." "Don't give up on me, Kate." "What about Persuasion?" "You told me." "They wait." "They meet again, they have another chance." "Life is not a book, Alex." "And it can be over in a second." "I was having lunch with my mother at Daley Plaza and a man was killed right in front of me." "He died in my arms." "And I thought:" ""It can't end just like that on Valentine's Day. "" "I thought about all the people who love him, waiting at home who will never see him again." "And then I thought:" ""What if there is no one?"" "What if you live your whole life and no one is waiting?" "So I drove to the lake house looking for any kind of answer." "And I found you." "And I let myself get lost." "Lost in this beautiful fantasy where time stood still." "But it's not real, Alex." "I have to learn to live the life that I have got." "Please don't write anymore." "Don't try to find me." "Let me let you go." "Hello." "What?" "Sorry, hold on." "I can't hear you." "I'll be back, sorry." "Hello." "Hold on." "Hold on." "Hello." "Hi." "How long are you here?" " I'm at a bar with some friends." " Come." "Well, don't get too excited." "I find that hard to believe." "It is good." "And it was really good to hear your voice." "I was surprised how good it was to hear your voice." "So how was your meeting?" " It was good." " Yeah?" "Yeah, I..." "I got the job." " Really?" " Yeah." " Well, congratulations." " Imagine that." "Yeah." "A telecom company." "I'll be in-house counsel." "Pays well." "And it's here in Chicago." "Well it's great news." "Hey." "What?" "Jack." "Hey, Jack." "Jack." "Are you gonna come down this weekend?" "Don't you miss me a little bit?" "Oh, just a little bit." "Not a lot, huh?" "Okay." "No, I heard you." "Yeah." "Kate, I'm gonna have to call you back, okay?" "Still wanna rent a lake house?" "It's what Kate wants." "How the hell do you know what Kate wants?" "Trust me." "Hey, you." "I know you." "Whatever you want out back." "What do you think?" "You're fixating." "You know?" "Why do you keep tweaking the lake house?" "Why don't you do your own work?" "Because it's hers." "You're talking about the girl from the future." "Kate." "And you're still writing with Kate?" " No." " Why not?" "She asked me not to." "Why?" "Time." "Hey, come on." "This is a good thing." "You know, you need a real woman." " A woman..." " Henry, listen." "Listen to me." "While it lasted, she was more real to me than any of that stuff." "She was more real to me than anything I've ever known." "I saw her." "I kissed her." "I love her." "And now she's gone." "She's gone." "And Duckett squirts through." "First thing..." "How could the Ab Scissor four-minute ab machine...?" " and your potatoes cooking on the top." "It's nice out here." "Let's stay here." "But we have to eat." "We can eat here." "I'll cook." "I thought you didn't like to cook." "No, I don't like to cook." "But I have a chicken in the icebox, and you're eating it." "What about all the washing-up afterward?" " We'll eat with our fingers." " Could you turn that down?" "Don't we need any plates?" "Yes." "One for you, and one for..." ""There could have been no two hearts so open no tastes so similar no feelings so in unison."" "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six five, four, three, two, one." "Happy New Year!" "Come in." "Hi." "Hi." "What do you think?" "This is what I gave up lunch for?" " I know it needs work." " Work?" "How about a wrecking ball?" "I found an architect who specializes in renovations." "I made an appointment for tomorrow." "Ambush." "Come on." "We can't stay in my apartment." "We've been there over a year." "I wanna keep moving forward." " It's a new firm." " "New" as in inexperienced?" "No. "New" as in cheap." "Hi, Dr. Forster." "We'll be with you in a moment." "Great, thank you." "Oh, by the way happy Valentine's Day." "Oh, God, Katie, I didn't get you anything." "I'm sorry." "I've just been so swamped and..." "Doesn't matter." " What is this?" " It's global warming." "Dr. Forster?" "Hi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." " Hi." "Good to see you again." " Dr. Forster." "You too." " Hi, I'm Morgan." " Hey, Morgan." "Vanessa Vanderbeck." "So obviously, the first thing you see is what we had talked about." "The atrium." "That's stunning." "So we were able to do it with all the glass panels in the metal structure?" " Yeah." " Can I...?" "Wanna get a beer after work?" "I'm sorry, I can't." "I'm taking Vanessa out for Valentine's Day." "Wait." "Say that again." "It's Valentine's Day today." "I'm taking out Vanessa, my girlfriend." "Cold champagne, some oysters, maybe a little chocolate." " What's the date?" " It's February 14th." " February 14th, 2006." " Yeah." " Stunning." "Thank you so much." " Our pleasure." "Thank you." "Henry will make sure you have everything." "Great." "They were absolutely beautiful." "Thank you." "What?" "Katie, I gotta get back to work." "Who did this drawing?" "My brother did, actually." "Who's your brother?" "Alex Wyler." "Did you know him?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I know him." "Do you know how I can get in touch with him?" "Is he...?" "Is he anywhere that I can...?" "I'm sorry." "He died two years ago today, actually." "There was an accident." "Where?" "Kate." "Wait, just stop." "Just stop." "Goddamn it, answer me." "What is the matter?" "Kate." "Kate!" "Sixty degrees on Valentine's Day." "This cannot be Chicago." "The TV says it's global warming." "Nothing wrong with that." "It's a dangerous thing." "Alex I know why you didn't show up that night." "It was you at Daley Plaza that day." "It was you." "Please, don't go." "Just wait." "Please." "Don't look for me." "Don't try to find me." "I love you." "And it's taken me all this time to say it, but I love you." "And if you still care for me wait for me." "Wait with me." "Just wait." "Wait." "Wait two years, Alex." "Come to the lake house." "I'm here." "You waited."

"MAN 1:" "Where you from?" "MAN 2:" "I'm from Holland, and this is like..." "Ten hours for me." "It's, like, across the world." "I came here for this audition." "I told all my boys at home I'm coming to funk in front of Michael onstage." "I'm just gonna dance for him." "I don't care if I make it, I don't care about nothing." "Thank you, Michael." "I'm excited." "You've inspired everything in my life." "My energy." "You're why I dance." "I can remember being a little girl and watching "Thriller" on TV with my mom and thinking that that was the coolest thing in the world." "I go to sleep and just wake up, and the first thing I do is not even eat." "I just start playing your music and start just dancing and moonwalking on a rug." "I was like, "What I would give to be onstage with you."" "And the fact that I get to do that is..." "It's amazing, so..." "I'm from Australia..." "And, um, I got word of your audition two days before it was about to happen and I was on the next flight over." "It begins." "This is..." "This is the beginning." "I'm not even onstage yet." "Like, I can't even imagine what's gonna happen backstage that first show in London." "I'm looking even farther ahead." "I don't even know what I wanna do after this because this is Michael." "I wanted to dance, you know what I mean?" "And that inspiration came from, you know, you." "And you've inspired me and given me a reason to want to inspire others." "Uh..." "Life is hard, right?" "And I've kind of been searching for something to shake me up a little bit and give me a kind of a meaning, to believe in something." "And this is it." "ORTEGA:" "So we open the show, as you know, with all the lights down." "We're gonna create a spectacular opening with pyrotechnics." "And we want some sizzles and some cracks and some pops." "We have our video that is called "Glimpses and Flashes."" "And that's where Light Man comes out on the gantry, floating above the stage, and he'll just be dazzling in video information." "And piece by piece by piece by piece," "MJ is revealed, until he jumps out and on Michael's command, we begin."

"Yeah, it'll just take a little longer." "Taste." "Oh, my God." "That is the most amazing thing I've ever tasted." "Nope." "It's over seasoned." "Oh, no!" "That was the first course!" "Are you out of your mind?" "I'm sorry." "Just stop yelling at me." "Okay, okay, Kameron." "Kameron, everything's fine." "Everything's fine." "You can do this, okay?" "I'm gonna be here with you every step of the way, so let's just make something new, shall we?" "You just tell me what you need." "Okay." "Grab that frying pan for me down there." "Okay, frying pan." "Which pan?" "This one?" "Oh, Elka, you're such a charming woman, but you know this can never be." "Back in the day, Popes got married." "What you say makes a lot of sense." "I don't know if it's the champagne or your smile talking." "Let's get you more of both." "Ross Michaels." "I know I'm just one star, but I hope you'll give me four." "Oh!" "Well, I have to tell you that my first impression of your restaurant is that it is a very nice environment, and I'm..." "Well, you don't hear that every day." "What's going on there?" "Why are they flirting?" "Get your head in the game." "We need to convince Chloe that we deserve that baby." "But I have no interest in children." "Well, then think of something you are interested in, and pretend you're talking about that." "Oh." "Ooh, got it." "Chloe, this is my fiancé, Bob." "I was just telling Chloe how much you love children." "Yes, yes, yes." "I'm particularly passionate about the babies currently being produced in the Napa Valley." "That's so specific." "Bob loves kids from all regions." "Yes, but they must have a good, strong nose, and of course you want them to breathe." "Is that even a question?" "And I know it's not the popular thing to say, but I prefer the white ones." "Kameron?" "Kameron, buddy, wake up." "Maybe a little wine." "Yeah, that's better." "Don't you have a call to make, darling?" "Oh, would you excuse me?" "I'm needed in the kitchen." "Oh, excuse me." "Hold that thought." "Or just keep talking." "I can't tell the difference." "You knocked out our chef?" "What will we serve people?" "Well, most of the crab ended up in a big clump in the trash." "Maybe we could still use it?" "Five-minute rule, right?" "I thought it was the five-second rule." "Not tonight." " Slap." " Dump." " Squirt." " Slap." " Dump." " Squirt." "Wait, wait, wait." "Shouldn't we be wearing gloves?" "Really?" "Now, Melanie?" " Slap." " Dump." "Oh, shoot, I dropped the crab." "George Clooney got it." "It's okay." "We're done." "Let's go." "Well, we did it." "We served the appetizers." "This just might work." "Oh, poor George Clooney." "Honey, what did you eat that made you so sick?" "Oh, no." "The crab." "All right, we've got to un-serve those appetizers." "Let me get this out of your way." "Hope you enjoyed it." "Oh, save room for your entrée." "Oh, look, it's Gordon Ramsay." "This is a nightmare." "We need to turn this around fast." "I've already gotten press for being a failure." "I need this to be successful." "Oh, Kameron's coming to." "I'll help him with the entrée." "You go back to be with Chloe, and you go back to charming that critic." " Good plan." " This just might work." " Stop saying that!" " Stop saying that!" "Fabrice, how could you leave Chloe alone?" " She's not alone." " What?" "She's with the other couple who wants the baby." "What?" "Let's go, Bob." "Hey, buddy, good nap?" "Why does my face hurt?" "I don't know. 'I'm not a doctor." "Come on, now." "Let's get started on those entrées." "We got 30 customers waiting out there." "30?" "That's a lot of people." "Well, just think of it as cooking for one person 30 times." "You know, I always intended to cook for more than one person." "A long time ago, I cooked for two." " There was this girl..." " A girl." "I bet she was pretty and... and tender, with an inch of fat like these pork chops." "So, Chloe, I didn't realize you were expecting anyone else." "Well, I wasn't, but Gil and Heidi just happened to show up." "Well, the other day," "Chloe mentioned that the older, unmarried woman who also wants the baby..." "I guess that's you... owned a restaurant, so we just had to try it." "Oh, how nice." "Although I can't help noticing you already have a baby." "Oh, no, this is my nephew." "He's usually fussy, but Heidi's a baby whisperer." "She's amazing with kids." "I am too." "Right, Bob?" "Yes, I am Bob." "In fact, just now I whispered a baby to sleep in the kitchen for our cook." "Really?" "I'd love to see that baby." "Yeah, I would too." "I think we all would." "And so you shall." "I need a baby." "What do you mean, you need a baby?" "I told Chloe I'm amazing with babies and that I had one in the kitchen." "Oh, God, where am I gonna find something in here that looks like a baby?" "Oh, hello." "Where the hell is the food?" "It's coming." "Just go flirt with the critic." "You think I haven't been doing that?" "I haven't laughed so hard at things I don't understand since my screen test with Jackie Chan." "Where's the grub?" "My boyfriend's hungry." "The Pope is not your boyfriend." "He just tweeted he's thinking about relaxing some rules." "Hash-tag, blessed." "Okay, the sooner you're out of here, the sooner the food will come." "Come on, everybody, out." "Here's my baby." "What do you think?" "The legs are hanging out." "You're gonna make a great mom." "I need a head." "You are as delightful as you are handsome." "Oh, thank you, but if the food doesn't come soon, I am sorry, but I might have to leave, and in my review," "I am going to have to say that the service..." "Ross, if you could eat your own charm, you'd never go hungry." "She's asleep now, but she wasn't five minutes ago, right, Bob?" "Bob?" "Why is she holding his hand?" "She's driving me mad with jealousy." "Do we know when the food's coming?" "I'm starving." "You know, a woman that forgets to feed her customers might forget to feed a baby as well." "Don't be ridiculous." "It's nearly here." "Oh, here it is." "We finally got one done." "He is so slow." "Okay, I need this for the critic." "No, I need that for my baby." "Please, God, a little food." "You're good." "Now you're giving him the lap dance?" "I thought you only loved me." "What?" "Oh, Fabrice, look, I know that we flirted, but I'm not in love with you." "I left my job at the best restaurant in L.A. for you." "Even worse, I pretend to be the fiancé of this desperate woman." "I've had enough." "See you at home, Bob." "Look, Chloe, I can explain." "I forgot the garnish." "Kameron." "Chloe?" "Is that really you?" "You two know each other?" "Yeah, we went to culinary school together in Paris, and we fell in love, but then we lost touch." "Wait, she's the girl?" "She is." "But you're married." "No, no, I'm not, and I was gonna give this baby up for adoption." "That's right, to us." "No, to me." "Look, that wasn't my fiancé." "I told one little lie." "Do I smell roast chicken?" "Oh, my God, my baby's on fire." "Okay, two little lies." "Wow, what a night." "How about we go somewhere where it's dark and quiet?" "So I can hear your confession?" "Sure." "After we've done something worth confessing about." "So I come to Rome." "Tell me about our perfect date." "Well, we kick off the night with theology study, then, if you're up for it, wash the feet of some lepers." "How does that sound?" "Oh, I just remembered I've got a thing." "Are you breaking up with me?" "I want to see other papal." "I'm actually happy Chloe and Kameron got together and decided to keep the baby." "And whatever baby Bob and I end up with will be the perfect one." "It will." "Well, I dumped the Pope." "What happened?" "Oh, it would never have worked out." "I'm a dog person." "He's a leper person." "Well, some things just aren't meant to be." "I mean, I did to this restaurant what the radio station did to me:" "change something that was working." "So let's just keep it the way it was." "Agreed." "And why did I go so crazy about that Vanity Fair "Where is she now?" thing?" "I mean, I know where I am." "I'm right here with my friends." "Plus, I had two men fighting over me." "Was one of them the Pope?" "No." "I win." " Cheers." " Cheers."

"Oh, my God!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Let's do this." "What the fuck?" "It's mischief night, asshole!" "Oh, shit!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, crap!" "Oh, my God." "Trick or treat, creeps." "Oh, God!" "Fuck!" "Uh-uh." "Not so fast, motherfucker." " We'll be back, you fucking bitch!" " Screw you!" "Stupid ho!" "Fucking whore!" "No, I haven't seen any kids up to mischief tonight." "I'm looking down at him right now, Mrs. Payton." "He's, uh, well, he's sleeping like a baby." "Good." "Well, make sure his little nightlight is on, and you definitely want to check in on him every 15 minutes, okay?" "Kaylie?" "Kaylie?" "Stanley, I think I lost her." "What's that, Mrs. Payton?" "I stepped out of the room as to not wake the baby." "Cunt." "Hmm." "Hmm." "You're kind of cute for a cue ball." "Just as boring as everything else in this house." "The whole fucking town." "Hi!" "How you doing?" "Hi." "May I ask you..." "Are you alone here tonight?" "Yeah, just me and my shotgun." "Oh!" "Your shotgun?" "Well, hey, I..." "There's a lot of crazies out here, you know, tonight, the night that it is, the night before Halloween." "So, I'm just kind of going around the neighborhood door to door, you know?" "Just checking that everything's all right." "Oh, well, everything is all right." "I'm, like, in neighborhood watch." "I'm watching the neighborhood." "This, I know, looks like a sedate neighborhood, you know, middle class, whatever, but we've had so many problems." "We've had vandals." "We've got hooligans." "Some bastards, you know, spray-painted my garage wall." "I'll kill those bastards." "And sects, we've got sects." "Not sex, sects." "And what kind of sects, I don't know..." "You're very cute." "What's your name?" "Kaylie." "Kaylie." "Hmm." "Cute." "Okay." "Okay." "All right." "One word of advice." "If anyone comes to your door, don't open it." "Do not open it." "You just never know who's gonna be at the door." "So, listen, if there's anything I can do," "I'll be..." "Around." "You're cute." "All right, take care." "Thanks." "Happy Halloween." "Hmm." "Naughty, naughty." "Aw!" "That's a good baby." "Now shut the fuck up." "You didn't tell me my cell phone wouldn't work out here." "It's the mountains, Kaylie." "Just take a deep breath, exhale, and suck it up, bitch." "How much are these deadbeats paying again?" "Twelve bucks an hour, and that's pretty good considering." "Considering what?" "Fuck 'em." "They're rolling in it." "Hey, how do you think I feel?" "It's the first Friday off in two months, it's the night before Halloween, and I'm stuck at home puking my brains out." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Look, can't we just talk about some normal girlie things for once?" "Sure." "You got anything in mind?" "How about Graham?" "Can we talk about him?" "Uh, I'd rather not." "Oh, come on." "You know it's not true." "I don't know, Daphne." "I don't get it." "It's like I'm at my worst when I'm near him." "Sometimes it's like..." "I wanna cut my belly open with a big knife just to let out all the butterflies." "What?" "Do you know?" "That's not funny, Kaylie." "You can't joke about cutting yourself when you've been caught doing it before." "Maybe it was a mistake to let you babysit for me." "Are you sure you're feeling up to it?" "What?" "Fuck off." "Hey, I'm just asking." "I mean, you're clearly not up for talking to Graham." "What's that supposed to mean?" "He's not such a hard guy to talk to, you know?" "You sure talk to him enough." "Doorbell." "What?" "Trick or treaters, maybe." "A night early?" "I'll call you back." "It's probably just more pranksters." "Wait, Kaylie, don't..." "Hello?" "Jackass, I'm talking to you." "Graham!" "Oh!" "Hey, you're not Daphne." "Uh, Kaylie, right?" "Right." "I knew that." "I mean, obviously." "I mean..." "Shit." "Where's Daphne tonight?" "She's..." "I mean, I would have called first, but I know what her cell phone's like up here." "Yeah." "Mountains." "I mean, but, you know, she's been here the last four Fridays, so I just assumed..." "Yeah." "No." "I haven't seen her at school and..." "Yeah, well, I am covering for her tonight, so..." "She's at home, though, if you want her." "Anyway, no harm done, right?" "'Tis the season." "Right." "Hey, Kaylie?" "Uh..." "Happy..." "Yeah." "How about Graham?" "Can we talk about him?" "He's not such a hard guy to talk to, you know?" "You sure talk to him enough." "Kaylie, right?" "Just to let out all the butterflies." "Where's Daphne tonight?" "Let out all the butterflies." "Hello?" "Who was at the door?" "Your mom." "Hello?" "Good prank." "I bet you think you're really fucking funny." "Hello?" "Dead, right?" "Hmm!" "Hello?" "Daphne?" "Kaylie?" "Are you okay?" "You sound..." "I think there's someone here at the house." "Some man." "I don't know." "Maybe it's just my imagination." "It's probably just those kids you messed with." "Maybe." "So who was at the door earlier?" "I don't think this is a kid." "He's at the front door." "Are you being serious right now?" "Oh, you so aren't." "You so aren't." "You can't bullshit a bullshitter." "You know that, right?" "And you can't prank me." "I think I'll just sit here and wait." "Wait for what?" "If you're not fucking around, why don't you just call the cops?" "Yeah, and say what exactly?" "What you just told me!" "How tacky do you think I am?" "All right." "Then I'll call the cops." "Don't." "Then maybe I'll just come over." "No, I wouldn't if I was you." "Sure you wouldn't." "Daphne." "I'll see you soon!" "No, Daphne, don't use the front door!" "Don't use the front door!" "Daphne, don't use the front door!" "All right, all right." "Pushy bitch." "Kaylie!" "I know you're out here." "Wait!" "Hey, Daph, it's about 9:15." "You said you'd be here, so I'm just wondering where you are." "I'm still a little freaked right now." "There was definitely somebody outside, but not pissing my panties or anything." "I think I scared him off." "I'll see you soon, or call me when you get this." "All right." "Bye." "Hello?" "So much for no reception." "Hello?" "Hello..." "Hello?" "Hey..." "Damn it." "I can't hear you." "Hold on." "Are you there..." "There?" "I can..." "You're..." "Hold on one sec." "You're..." "Is someone..." "Hello?" "Hello!" "Hello?" "Kaylie?" "Oh, hey, Mom." "Where are you?" "You know where I am." "I told you I'm filling in for Daphne tonight." "Some of my pills are missing." "You wouldn't happen to be stealing them..." "No, I'm not stealing your pills." "I don't want your fucking pills." "I am..." "If I wanted pills, I'd get my own fucking pills." "You're lying to me." "You have one..." "Yeah." "Good night." "Fuck." "Ahhh!" "Oh, shit." "You fucking bitch!" "I'm gonna kill you!" "Open up!" "Fuck!" "I'm gonna fucking find you..." "Stay quiet." "You're dead!" "You are so fucking dead!" "I'm gonna enjoy this." "You'll find some way to fuck it up." "Not likely." "If you can fuck up a basic Boy Scout knot, you can fuck up just about anything." "Are you gonna kill me?" "Are you gonna kill me?" "Take a wild fucking guess." "I finally get up the nerve to do it, to murder." "Don't..." "Don't." "Got the mask, I bought a knife and got all the clothes." "I find the perfect neighborhood, perfect house, perfect..." "Victim." "I'm the boogeyman, like in the movies." "No." "But the girl, she can't just be the perfect little victim, can she?" "She can't just play her role." "She's gotta be a feisty little fighter." "I'm gonna carve you up, blondie." "You can't do this to me." "You can't." "Yeah?" "Why not?" "Because I'm..." "What?" "I'm..." "Yeah?" "You're what?" "I'm still a virgin." "I'm still a virgin." "Un-fucking-believable." "What are you thinking about?" "What?" "You're not gonna do it?" "I didn't say don't do it." "I just said I didn't want to die without being..." "Oh!" "Oh, you probably can't get it up anyway." "Oh, you're dead!" "I'm gonna fucking kill you." "I'm gonna cut off your fucking head." "I'm gonna hack out your kidneys and cut open your liver." "I'm gonna smother you with your own guts." "I'm gonna..." "Yeah?" "What?" "I don't fucking get you!" "You think you're some sort of open book or something?" "Yeah, I'm a teenager." "What's your excuse?" "You got an answer for everything, don't you?" "I couldn't tell you what's going on inside your fucked-up head." "My fucked-up head?" "My fucked-up head?" "Priceless." "That's just..." "Priceless?" "Take a picture." "It'll last longer." "You do that to yourself?" "No." "The last serial killer I met." "Look, you're a sadist." "I'm a masochist." "You can tie me up all you want, but don't leave me on my fucking side like this!" "All the blood is rushing to my head and I'm starting to get dizzy." "Wait!" "You're not gonna just leave me like this, are you?" "No, you can't just do that." "When they find me, my hand will be all blue and they're probably gonna have to amputate my fucking fingers!" "Thanks." "Don't mention it." "Come on, you pussies, we gotta get this bitch back!" "What is it?" "There's someone out there." "I don't want them to see me." "Well, well, well." "Back for a second round." "Hey, you wanna have some fun?" "Can we just go play ding-dong-ditch or something?" "If you pussy out on me, I'll break you." "I'm with you, Lonny." "Hey, fuckers!" "Hey, you looked." "You're dead, you fucking bitch!" "I'm gonna kill you!" "All right, you can put that down now." "Unless you still think you wanna use it?" "You're not very good at this whole serial killer thing, are you?" "I can't believe this." "I can't fucking believe this." "This doesn't make sense." "This is crazy." "No, it's not." "It's mischief night." "It's the one night where anything goes." "They get their 364 days of safety and reliability, and stability, and predictability." "They've even co-opted Halloween with their greeting cards and UNICEF collections and cupcakes." "Fuck 'em." "Fuck 'em where they live, because this is my night." "It's up for grabs, and I wanna seize it." "My father always wanted me to be his good little..." "His sweet little..." "In fact, he was so worried about that, that he never actually bothered to look at me." "He was too busy fitting in with the rest of 'em." "And my mother?" "Oh, you can forget it." "It's all outer smiles and inner spite." "That's what they value." "That's who they are." "Street after street, house after house..." "A world of putrid shit stinking up my insignificant little existence." "I was always the kid that talked to strangers and took candy from old men." "My name is Kaylie." "Coast is clear." "You can go now." "I know." "You wanna finish what you started?" "I think we left off on you wanting to strangle me with my intestines." "So what's stopping you?" "Let me guess..." "I'm not like the other girls." "You're fascinated, intrigued," "maybe even..." "Attracted." "I, uh..." "I have to go." "Hey, I got an idea." "I don't know why I'm doing this." "Paper." "I have to go." "Are you gonna get me some paper?" "Paper." "She wants paper." "And I'm actually getting it." "Pen?" "A pen." "What good's paper without a pen?" "Pen." "First thing we need is a bag." "A big bag." "Bag." "Now what?" "Now, we need to fill it." "Ready?" "Who's there?" "Come on." "You want some MM's?" "Sure." "That's not candy-coated chocolate." "Mother's merriments." "But they do melt in your mouth." "Oh, what are they for?" "Nights like this." "Come on." "They'll make you feel like a gummy bear." "You hear that?" "What?" "That's the sound of the pumpkins of this world pissing themselves." "Yes." "Don't forget the..." "Oh!" "I got some big ideas for this one." "No." "What is it?" "This is Graham's house." "A friend?" "A boy." "Oh, well, we'll go next door." "No." "Oh!" "Let's get him really bad." "No." "Just me." "This is his." "I always thought it fit him just perfectly." "I don't know why." "My best friend Daphne thinks he's beautiful." "She said she'd never date him though, because I saw him first." "I always saw him." "Do you ever talk to him?" "Me?" "What would I have to say?" ""Hello." "I exist."" "I'm not even sure I really do." "Hand me the bag." "Can I ask you a question?" "Sure." "Why didn't you call the cops tonight?" "What, you think I was really scared or something?" "A little bit." "Do you know why I sleep easy at night?" "Why?" "Freddy Krueger doesn't haunt my dreams." "I haunt his." "Is that so?" "Can I ask you another question?" "Maybe." "When you jumped out of the window, you acted like your knee snapped backward," "but you've been walking fine ever since." "Now I ask a question." "You didn't answer my last question." "You answered it yourself." "Are you having fun tonight?" "It's not exactly going as I planned." "What was your plan?" "A friendly little game of hide and seek capped off with a little game of gut the girl?" "Something like that." "You like gutting girls?" "No comment." "You know what I like?" "I like..." "Booze." "The only thing better than booze is other people's booze." "Would you agree?" "Oh, yeah." "I'd agree." "Do you know why geeky kids and outcasts all love Halloween so much?" "Why?" "Well, it's the one day of the year the weirder you look, the more likely you are to get some sugar." "Okay, you know why witches can't have babies?" "Why?" "Because warlocks have hallow-weenies." "Oh, God." "Uh-oh." "You're fucked up." "You know how I can tell?" "Anything I say will make you laugh." "Bullshit." "Knock knock." "For real." "Okay." "Okay." "Who's there?" "Boo." "Yeah, you are good and shit-faced." "Well, if you're not by now, then you're some kind of fucking animal." "Like a machine or something." "How many times did you swing that knife at me and miss?" "Is your aim really that bad?" "You know what I think?" "I think the boogeyman is just like any other man." "He knows what he wants, he just doesn't necessarily know how to get it." "He chases the girl, he catches her, but if he kills her," "well, that's the end of it all." "And that's not what he wants." "He wants her." "And then the girl?" "Hmm." "The sweet little virginal girl, the one..." "None of the other boys are interested in?" "Until one night this boy comes along," "different than all the rest." "He takes a different tact with her," "and she likes it." "He may frighten her," "but somewhere inside, she knows that this..." "This is right." "They're meant for each other." "Wouldn't it be something if..." "This was just the way it was, every night, bringing hell to everyone who has it coming, which is pretty much everyone." "You could circle the country." "Mischief night, every night, everywhere." "That would be something." "But I wouldn't do it alone." "I've always had this feeling inside of me, all my life, like an urge or a fever," "but I could never put a finger on it." "And then one day, one instance," "I was at home putting my son to bed," "my little baby boy." "Beautiful." "My wife was beside me, so happy." "My life ahead of me, so good." "And it occurred to me then, in that moment, so..." "Benign and pure, you could put it on your walls next to your Norman Rockwell." "That..." "That feeling that I'd had for so long is anger." "Why such anger?" "How do I rid myself of this anger?" "It was like an angry god I had to please." "Murder." "Yeah." "And blood." "An innocent." "How it must feel" "to wait and wait till the time is right," "and then drive, just..." "Drive." "Intuition will guide you." "The angry god will lead you." "Some highway, some exit, some town, some house." "You'll know it when you see it." "Some girl." "You kill her because you can." "And then..." "The angry god will be pleased, and you will know what it is to feel satiated." "And your son will grow to love and honor you" "'cause you're a truly good man." "And your wife, your wife will always love you." "A truly good man." "And you will love yourself because you did it." "You did it." "One night, long ago, you did it." "But just once." "Turn out the light." "Come." "Now stab me." "I want it to hurt." "You are so strange." "I'm sorry." "No." "I mean..." "You're extraordinary." "Thanks." "You don't believe me." "I think I prefer strange." "Why?" "That feels right." "Well, you are strange." "You're the strangest fucking girl I've ever met." "That's the nicest thing anybody has ever said about me." "You were my first lover." "Do you want me to be your first victim?" "Where are you going?" "I have to think." "This bitch is going down." "Lonny, are you sure we should do this?" "Yeah, it's not even her house." "Come on, you pussies." "Is that you, whore bag?" "I'm coming for you." "We should go." "Are you a pussy?" "Go check it out." "You check it out." "Fine." "We both check it out." "Lonny?" "You there?" "Hey, if you're joking around, it's not funny." "It's dark out here." "Someone could trip and get hurt." "I'm sorry if I upset you." "I didn't mean to push you away." "I think we should talk." "What's the matter?" "You don't look right." "I never should have come." "I never should have done this." "Any of this." "I have a home." "I have a family." "And we need paper towels and low-fat milk." "This night never happened, do you understand?" "I understand." "Kaylie..." "I like you." "I had a really nice time tonight." "No, you didn't." "There was no tonight." "It never happened." "Midnight." "Happy Halloween." "Be careful on the road." "You had a lot to drink." "I don't want you to think..." "What?" "I don't know." "Would you mind grabbing that for me before you leave?" "I don't really care who it is, all right?" "And I'm not exactly in a talking mood, you know what I mean?" "What am I doing?" "Hello?" "Hi." "Hey." "Mr. Payton?" "No, no." "He's not here right now." "Do you wanna leave a message?" "No, I'm actually calling for Kaylie." "Who is this?" "Uh, a friend." "Oh!" "Okay, like a boyfriend?" "No." "Uh..." "No, just a friend." "Oh, okay." "Cool." "Uh, is she there?" "Yeah, she's..." "She's in the bathroom right now." "Right, okay." "Can you just let her know that Graham called?" "Graham?" "Uh, yeah." "Yeah, I can let her know you called." "Thanks, and tell her I'm really sorry about the prank, it was a stupid prank." "What prank?" "Yeah, her friend Daphne had this stupid idea of making her think that her and I were hooking up, and then Daphne and me were going to surprise her because we're actually not hooking up." "I kind of like Kaylie, and Daphne said that Kaylie likes me and..." "I don't know." "It was just stupid, um..." "By the way, have you seen Daphne?" "Has she come by?" "Uh, no." "No, not that I know of." "Yeah, can you tell her all of that..." "I'm sorry." "You know, Graham," "I think you should come over and tell her yourself." "You know what?" "I think you are right." "Yeah." "All right, happy Halloween." "Yeah, you, too, buddy..." "Hey." "What did you do?" "I don't know if there's something in the air or what." "Boy, this night really does something to you." "Our scary little game of cat and mouse really turned me on." "You think you're the only one who's had that urge building up inside of you?" "That necessity to lash out?" "There's a killer inside both of us." "The difference is, I let mine out to play tonight, and you were too big of a pussy to make it happen." "I only had one teeny-weeny, little thread of sanity keeping my sociopathic tendencies in check" "when, you know, it was for the love of a boy." "I thought me and you had something." "I thought we were the same." "It could have been something..." "Beautiful." "But I guess we both got fucked tonight." "Do you think she'll be upset we were out later than planned?" "Oh, please, with what I'm paying her?" "She should give me a handy on the way home." "Stanley, you're terrible." "Jesus Christ!" "He was coming for the baby." "Jesus Christ, is he okay?" "Is he okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah?" "Is he okay?" "I warned them." "I told them." "I said, "Lock your doors." "Don't answer the door."" ""There's strange things happening here."" "And I warned everyone." "I went to every house and told them." "Devil's Night." "That's what they call it, you know, in foreign countries." "It's Devil's Nacht, the Devil's night." "It embodies the whole spirit of what's going on tonight." "I feel the spirit of Halloween." "There's some evil in the air." ""Mischief," it's just a cutesy little word." "Mischief." "Move along, please." "I consider it to be a euphemism for nothing short of evil." "Okay." "Right." "Gotcha." "I..." "I told them that I was here earlier." "They want to ask some..." "Questions." "He answered the phone." "He wanted me to come over." "It's all so unreal and..." "I don't know what I'm supposed to say." "I feel so sick inside." "And here I am talking..." "I can't even imagine what you must have gone through tonight." "I am so sorry." "Can I do anything?" "Please don't leave me alone tonight." "I don't want to be alone." "Okay, Kaylie." "I won't." "I won't leave you alone tonight." "Speed, marker..." "Action!" "Hi!" "How you doing?" "Ooh!" "Are you cooking dinner?" "That's a pot roast, right?" "That smells good." "Is that dinner for one or two?" "Mmm, pot roast or something?" "Ooh!" "My name's George." "You and your shotgun?" "Whoa!" "I like that!" "The NRA would be happy with you!" "You know, out here, there are crazy people." "Gang initiations, hoodlums, vandals, hooligans, cults out here." "They sacrifice goats." "Somebody found a sacrificial altar with blood dripping on it." "The smell..." "Whoa!" "It's causing a big problem here with the house prices and everything." "Are you familiar with that kind of thing?" "You know, sacrificial lambs?" "Maybe goats?" "I don't know." "We got a meth factory down the street that practically took out a whole block here." "You would not believe." "The guy was a nice guy, bank manager-type or accountant or whatever." "He nearly blew up the whole neighborhood." "You heard about that?" "No." "No, I didn't." "All the crazies are out, the nutters are out." "There's so many nutters out there," "I mean, it's crazy!" "There's too many fruitcakes." "Seriously." "We got them all right here." "I mean, we caught some kids, you know, that were stealing bicycles." "They're not now!" "Wow!" "And we're really close to the airport, too." "You can hear that, right?" "I know, I know." "That's no good for us, though, is it?" "Mmm." "No, but we're gonna keep going." "We're gonna keep going because that jet, it's gonna be in fucking New York any moment now." "So where the hell were we?" "Oh, my God." "I can't believe he's coming back now." "He must have done a quick drop off and he's coming back!" "That's great." "Are you from the south?" "No, I'm not." "No." "Oh, from The Valley." "Close enough." "Listen, Kaylie rhymes with Haley." "Kaylie..." "Not really." "You're very cute, Kaylie rhymes with Haley." "Because you just never know..." "See?" "Now that is not a..." "That is speeding in this..." "I mean, it's crazy." "It's crazy here." "You don't have a little spy hole, do you, in the door?" "I wouldn't use it even if I had one." "Why?" "Are you too short?" "You're cute!" "Enjoy your dinner." "What the fuck is that?" "Jesus." "Nuts!" "Marker." "Oh, mischief." "Mischief." "What is mischief?" "Mischief, mischief..." "Mischievous little guys, you know, mischief, mischief dressed as what, punks?" "Yeah." "Little bastards." "Fuck me." "We've got a lot of mischief over there with that fucking thing." "I'll never get that line, so I'll just make it up." "When I go round to the store, what do I see?" "Crazy fucking people." "I don't know about you." "You must do." "That's a..." "I'm taking this medication." "It's really helping me." "I..." "I have a clarity." "It's unbelievable." "Good shit, man." "I'm really flying." "I think it's speed or something." "I can recommend it." "Kaylie, Kaylie, yeah." "Haley and the Comets, Bill Haley, remember him?" "Rock Around the Clock." "Mischief." "Mischief." "Sounds exactly what it is, mischief." "By the way, you know, take out your notebook, take this down." "Take this down." "Take this down." "Devil's Nacht." "It's a foreign thing, I think European." "Romanian, that's where Dracula was from." "I gotta take my medication because, shit, man, I'm coming down." "This is a bummer." "I'm starting to sweat." "I'm starting to, ooh, you know, shake a bit." "Some pot roast." "Are you hungry?" "I think I was walking my dog." "Dog's name's Henry." "Cute little dog." "Romanian." "Thank you." "Hey, I'm not finished." "I gotta tell you..." "I think I know who did it." "And I'm not gonna tell you!"

"You have no idea who this person is." " No." " Or what this is about." "Mm, no." ""Zissner, office, meeting, 10:00."" "And you have no idea what that means." "I feel like I made that very clear." "Unlike this cryptic idiocy!" "Why do you even bother to answer the phone?" "Because you scream at me when I don't!" "Volume!" "Jesus!" "My God, Lana, you look like hell." "Like I've been saying for years." "Woman, you do not want to light this particular fuse." "A.J. was up all night with the croup." "Did you give her bourbon?" "You know, I was going to, and then I realized that, no, I wasn't going to." "Always worked for Sterling." "And you're just gonna..." " Yeah, too sleepy." " What is this?" ""Zissner"?" "Wait, as in Don Zissner?" "She has no idea." "(growls) Which, again, very clear on that." "He's a huge producer." "He makes those massive, stupid, sharky blockbusters." "Sharknoid, Sharknoid 2, Sharknoid 3 In 3-D, Sharknoid 4, Shark..." " We get it!" " Let me finish." "Sharknoid Five." "(groans) Is that who we're meeting with?" "Maybe." "Hm, "Zissner, office, meeting, 10:00."" "That's all Carol told you?" "Yes, we're to meet Zissner in his office at 10:00." " But other than that..." " We have no idea." "Or why she even bothers to answer the phone." "Well, otherwise Mother screams at her." "(elevator dings)" " Good morning." " Hi," "Cyril Figgis, Figgis Agency." "We have a 10:00 with Mr. Zissner?" " (coughs) Maybe." " I'm sorry?" "I'm sorry?" "I'm sorry." "Is this the Figgis Agency?" " Maybe." " Then I think I have a 10:00 appointment." "I'm Barbie Zissner." "(together) Oh!" "Oh, please forgive me, Miss..." " Mrs." " Mrs. Zissner, of course, yes." "Mrs. Donald Zissner." " Yes." " (intercom beeps)" "(Cheryl over intercom) Your 10:00 is here." "I know." "Thank you." " You're welcome." " (intercom beeps)" "Gentlemen, thank you for coming." "First off, killer marketing campaign." "Goddamn it." "Second, you've each been given a non-disclosure agreement to sign." "If any of you repeat anything said in this room," "I will skull-rape you so hard, legally speaking, that your great-great-grandchildren will spend their short, miserable lives as indentured servants to mine." "Is that clear?" " Yes, sir." " Okay." "Third... (sighs)" "I'm not really sure how to put this, so I'll just go ahead and say it." "(sniffles) I think my husband is cheating on me." " That's so sad." " Oh." "I think my wife is cheating on me." " (mumbles)" " No." "And so I want to hire you." "To catch her in the act." "I'll need video confirmation, of course." "So you want us to follow him and..." "No, not just follow her." "More than that." "Much more." "There's just too much at stake here." "I have to be a hundred percent sure." "And so I want one of you..." " to seduce my husband and tape it." " To seduce my wife and tape it." "Aw, man." "Lousy timing." "My bush looks like I'm sitting on Jerry Garcia's face." "♪♪" "Because A, it's super skeevy, and..." "And B, possibly extremely lucrative!" "She agreed to pay us $20,000." "And Zissner's worth God knows how many millions, so if we can wedge ourselves into that divorce..." "And he tells two friends." "And she tells two friends." "(together) And so on and so on and so on." "I thought you said the divorce business was shabby." "If it's poor people." "So what, you think you're literally gonna pimp me out?" " Who says she's pimping you?" " Why does she get to get pimped out?" "I'm sorry." "Is there another option?" " Uh, boosh?" " And-or kakow?" "Pam, please, this is serious." "Uh, wha..." "I am serious." "Cyril, come on." "You can't do it." "Zissner wants us to prove his wife's cheating on him, not that she's capable of aspirating her own vomit." "So what, you're going to do it?" "Well, I mean, I think we should put our best foot forward here." "Or at least our best five inches." "Hey-oh!" "Who are you, Wheeler and Woolsey?" " Who?" " Typical." "So you're just gonna cheat on Lana." "Oh, right." "Goddamn it." "I mean, even if Archer did basically cheat on me with Veronica Deane..." " Oh, please." " One kiss." "I refuse to stoop to his level." "Lana, it's $20,000." "I don't care if it's..." "Okay, I almost said 20 million, but obviously I would bang him for that." "Ah-ha!" "So you do have a price." "Yes, duh, but it's not 20 grand, Ron Measly, so you can count me out." "Welp, guess I'm gonna need a bucket of ice and a roll of gaffer tape." " For?" " D-I-Y Brazilian." "When it's this bushy, the clippers just get stoved up." " Ew." " Pam!" "Well, I'm sorry." "I didn't know I was going to get called up" " to the big show." " Nobody's calling you anywhere." "I don't know." "I think Pam's got a better chance of seducing Zissner than Gluella devil over here." "Are you insane?" "No, I'm dead serious." "I'll bet you my share of the 20 grand that Ray can seduce Barbie Zissner before you." "What're you..." "I'm not in this!" "If we win, you get his share." " That's almost $7,000." " I..." " Where'd you get 7,000?" " I divided 20 by 3, Cyril." "Come on, this is pretty basic stuff." "Three." "Tuh... what, we're just not telling the women about this?" "Why would we?" " Hm?" "Hm." " Yeah, screw them." "Ray, come on." "Be a team player." "We can drink you through this." "Would you have sex with a man for $7,000?" "I would if it had a negative impact on Cyril." "Wha..." "You hate me so much that you would actually have sex with a man." "I would date him." "And I wish y'all every happiness, but I am not sleeping with that woman, so..." " So then Krieger!" " What?" "My share against yours." "I bet Krieger can seduce Barbie Zissner before you." "(chuckles) You are on!" "Yeah, I am all over that action." "Ha!" "Then it's a bet." " I got I got Krieger..." " (Gillette) I got Cyril..." "I've got Pam." "And you've got Cheryl." "Oh, please, Carol couldn't seduce a Spaniard." "Me, on the other hand... (chuckling) Only if Zissner's into archeology." "You little..." "All right, Lana, you have a bet." "I'll take Carol, and we will laugh all the way to the bank." " And we're not telling the men?" " Why would we?" " Well, yeah." " Mm-hm." "(Pam laughing) Oh, man." "I'm gonna seduce the dick off that dude." "(tape ripping)" "Oww!" "Yes, what mere mortal could resist that cornucopia of nature's treasures." "(chuckling) Exactly." " (tape rips)" " Ow!" "Okay, so if anybody asks, it's Cyril's birthday, and he asked us to take him to a strip club." "They'll buy that." "It's so sad and pathetic and Cyril-y." "Uh, first of all, I dated Lana for three years." "She knows when my birthday is." "I think you wildly overestimate that relationship." "With who, Veronica Deane?" "With whom." "And, no, not Veronica Deane, who, by the way, Lana, kissed me, and also when is Cyril's birthday?" "Uh, how should I know?" " (sighs)" " Trick question." "It's today." "And we're taking him to a strip club because he is both sad and pathetic." " Typical." " Oh, man." "Give my regards to all the molestees." "Wait." "Where are you guys going?" "None of your collective beeswax." "Wow, that was way easier than I thought it would be." "Although, I guess so is everything." "Krieger?" "Krieger." "Krieger!" " (door closes) - (Krieger) Yep!" "Yep, yep, yep!" "Hey, guys." "Shut up and brush your teeth, comb your beard, and get some cologne on those balls." "You're coming with us." "Done, done, done, done, and where exactly are we going?" "Well, first to buy you some clothes." "And then... wait." "Where are we going?" "Uh, let's see." "Zissner said she'd be at the "The Swindon Hotel for happy hour."" "The Swindon?" "Nice." "Sunset Lounge or main bar?" "Uh, let's see." "It says here... "main bar."" "So, hey, should I get some new clothes?" "Cyril, the answer to that question is almost always yes." "You know, Thoreau said, "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes."" "Krieger, nobody gives a shit about Doonesbury." "Now, come on, chop-chop." "Ooh, chop-chop what?" "What are we chopping?" "Nothing." "You're going to have sex." "With a... person?" " What are you..." " I'm gonna double the bet." " What bet?" " No, shut up." "I would think "person" was implied." "Yeah, no, I just didn't wanna get in that head space and then, you know..." "No, I don't." " Double it!" " No!" " What bet?" " (groans)" "Okay, if you can seduce this woman..." " Whoo." " Yeah." "And if you seduce her before Cyril does, you get five, uh, hundred..." " Whoo." " (together) Thousand." " (laughing) Whoo-hoo..." " Goddamn it." "Dollars." "I'm in." "I can use the money to finish my Voight-Kampff machine." "Or... not that." "Forget I said that." "Now, remember, Carol." "The key here, as with most things, is confidence." "Which Pam's got by the shitload." " (curtain rolls back)" " For reasons known but to God." "Well, a lot of it's the Brazilian." "They really make you feel sexy." "At least until the ingrown hairs turn me back into Bumplestiltskin." " B-ugh." " I want to double the bet." " (curtain rolls back)" " Deal." " Damn." " Just damn or daaaaaaamn!" "Whichever is worse." "Damn, Cyril!" "Really?" "You don't..." " think it's too much?" " I..." "You know, I think it would be." " I wanna double the bet." " No." " Give you five-to-two odds." " No!" "Krieger, get out here!" "(curtain rolls back)" " Goddamn it." " Five to one!" "Dude, take it!" "I feel amazing." "And confidence is the key." "And Thoreau was a (bleep) idiot." " Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" " (groans)" "No, Lana dear, listen." "All this nonsense about doubling the bet." "What, are you trying to welsh on me?" " Huh..." "Well, now who's a racist?" " That's not racist." " It is if you're black." " There are black Welsh people." " Name one." " Uh, Shirley Bassey." " Name 20 more." " No, the bet stands." "(exhales) And that is just fine with us." "Damn." "I know." "I look like a whore." "As a matter of fact," "I'm willing to double it again." "Um..." "Psst." "Lana, come here." "Come here, come here, come here, come here." "Take the bet." "Double it." "Is this mirror not working or..." "Don't be shitty." "I'm in progress." "And plus, Jerkleton, I've got this." "(sighs) Spanish Fly." " Right?" " Pam, that shit doesn't work." "Yes, it does." "We just need to mix it with some mole's blood." "So... hey, what were you saying about un-doubling the bet?" "Not a word." "I'm serious, Ray." "I'm about to punch you in the face with your own fists." "First of all, you are a mean drunk on germicide." "It's blue Curaçao, you dumb idiot." "Giuseppe keeps it in the back for me." "Well, then you're a mean drunk on blue Curaçao." "I know." "I'm actually banned for life from Willemstad." "Well, their loss." "Now, come on." "Put your money where your fat blue mouth is." "No, we're not doubling the bet." "Come on." "Don't you have faith in your man?" "Shoo, shoo!" " Shoo, shoo, shoo!" "Shoo!" " Krieger!" "(slow motion) Shoo." "Sh..." "I do not, no." " Well, I've got faith in mine." " (continuing)" "Cause he is lookin' muy Rico Suave." "Oh, well, gracias, amigo." "Pff." "More like Rico... not Suave." "He said like a drunk jealous bitch." "I'm not drunk!" "Wait, I am drunk." "Cyril, you need any last-minute pointers?" "Ha!" "From you?" "The quarry may change but never the hunt!" "Hm, let's see." "Oh, here's one." "When do I start negging her?" ""Negging"?" "Jesus Christ, what grade are you in?" "Why don't you try putting some Spanish Fly in her Brass Monkey?" "(chuckles) I think you mix it with mole's blood." "What're you..." "Where the hell would you get mole's blood?" "Why, you need some?" "I need you to get your big, bushy Bob Ross-ian head out of your ass, because we've got a bet to win!" "And also, Giuseppe, I'm pretty sure this is actually germicide, so..." " What?" " Damn it, Archer." "Yeah, that's... not great." "Although, silver lining... bet I could eat a whole big bowl of germs right now." "(belches)" "Okay, let's go seduce this broad." "Okay, let's go put some stank on it." "Yes, I suppose this is as attractive as these two are ever going to be." " Unless we can find some mole's blood." " No." " I have some." " No!" "Oh, wait." "This is vole's blood." "I swear to God, you people." "Taxi!" "(Archer groaning) Man, I don't feel so great." " (belches)" " Wonder if that's got anything to do with all that germicide you drank." "Honestly, even if it had been Curaçao," "I bet I'd still be a little oogy." "No shit, you killed all your good flora." "Hey, Spirou, where's the main bar?" " Through the lobby to the left, sir." " Thanks." "Cyril, tip the young man." "Oh, uh..." "Darn. (chuckles) I must've left my wallet in my other clothes." " Uh..." " Typical." "Here you go." "Here you go, ladies." "Hotel Swindon." "Well, it's about time." "Pay the man, Lana." "Uh, I don't... uh, Pam?" "I'll get the next one." "Yeah, me too." "Pony up, neckbone." "Yoo-hoo, bellboy, which way is the Sunset Lounge?" "Fair's 18.50, Miss." "Okay, so, do you have change for 10..." "let me finish... drams of vole's blood?" "Did he say to the right or to the left?" " I thought he said right." " He said to the left." " Thanks, Lois and Clark." " It's Lewis and... oh." " See what I did there?" " What are you doing here?" "(overlapping exclamations)" "I'm gonna assume it's some sort of costume birthday party?" "It's not my birthday!" "Then why's Krieger dressed up like Evil Nazi Bob Ross Knievel?" "Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" " It's for work!" " Wait, what are you all doing here?" " Lunch?" " It's 5:30." " Dunch?" " Mother, what the hell is going on?" "I could ask you the same thing." " Oh, my God." " What's he doing here?" " Mr. Zissner?" " What's the deal here, Figgis?" "Wait, you two know each other?" "Uh, well, um..." " Donny?" " Babe." " Wait." " Uh, what?" " What the..." "Why aren't you in the bar?" "I heard all this commotion out here." "Why aren't you in the Sunset Lounge?" "Okay, obviously there's been some sort of misunderstanding here, so..." " Wait a minute." " I think the best thing at this point is for everybody to..." " un-clump." " Did he hire you to bang her?" " Uh..." " Hey, no!" "Before you answer that, remember you signed an extremely punitive non-disclosure agreement." "(belches, laughs) Yes." "And also tape it." " Goddamn it!" " Shut up." "And you were just going to do it?" "Not me." "Cyril or Krieger." "Ah!" "As if." " I mean, maybe blondie here." " As if." "Wait, but she hired us to seduce him." " And tape it." " Shut up!" "Why would anyone do such a thing?" "(sighs) It's your basic cuckold fetish porn." "How is that basic?" "In fact, I bet they do these hookups in the same hotel at the same time so they know the other one's doing it." "Stop talking!" "And they each go upstairs with whoever, make a tape, and then go home and watch them together." "Goddamn, I wish I was married!" "(Zissner growls) You are all so frickin' sued!" "Shut up." "And you were just gonna do it?" " Not me!" " Wha..." "Mother?" "No, you idiot!" "One of those two." "(laughs) Who?" "Scarrah Fawcett and Baby Huey?" "Hey!" "Whoa-whoa-whoa..." " (sobbing)" " Uh-uh." "Bitch, you better 'pologize!" " (Pam bawling)" " Or what?" "Or this!" "(all yelling)" "(roars)" " (men grunting) - (Pam yells)" "(grunting)" "Aah!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Sha!" "Sha!" "(Pam screams)" "Szhee!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "(screams)" "(giggling)" " (crunches) - (screams)" "(growls)" "Come on, Lurch." "Let's see what's in that belly of yours!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Sha!" "Sha!" "(woman screams)" "Enter Sandman." "My eyes!" "Ow!" "Ow..." "Damn it." "What is this, a chair factory?" " Get everybody down here!" " (people groaning and grunting)" "Baby!" "Baby, come on." "We gotta get out of here." " Okay, honey." " Paparazzi." "Paparazzi!" " Aah!" "Damn!" " Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Sha!" "Sha!" " (thuds) - (groans)" " (all groaning)" " I gotta say," "I think that went about as well as it could have." "Tell that to Carol!" " Whoa, gross." " Oh, God." "Oh, this is vole's blood." " I hope." " That's disgusting." "Well, whom or whatever's blood it is," "I vote we go rinse it off with a mojito." " Come on, we can still catch..." " (guns cocking)" " (police radio chattering)" " Uh... happy hour." "(radio chatter continues)" "Seriously, worst happy hour ever." "And I hate to do it, but I have to trash you guys in my online review." "Thanks." "And also sorry, but I don't feel like you've earned a tip, so..." "Will you shut up and come on!" "Wasn't six hours in this hell hole enough?" "That bail is paid, and now I would like to go home, please!" "Okay!" "I'm not the one taking all night to give me back my stuff!" "No, you're just the one who started the brawl that got us all arrested." "First of all, that brawl started when Carol messed up the messages." "No, I did not." "Zissner, meeting, office, 10:00?" "What, were you being intentionally vague?" " Eh, duh." " What?" "I wanted to see what would happen." " Oh, goddamn." " Really?" "Well, excellent work." "You just ruined our entrée into the world of high-priced Hollywood divorces!" "Which, come on, we're better than that." "Shooooo, wahhhhh..." " Are we?" " I am." "I drank a whole big thing of germicide." " Shooo..." " What?" "That would've killed a normal man." "Shooo, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo... ♪♪"

"For reasons that you are too young to understand, your mom and I can't remember some things that happened last night." " You were wasted?" " Okay." "Where did you learn that word?" "Mom kept saying it over and over." ""I'm so wasted." "I'm so wasted."" "As in I'm so tired." "Like, more tired than you guys have ever been." "Which is why we need you to tell us everything that happened last night." "I brushed my teeth for two minutes and didn't swallow any toothpaste." "That's great, Miles, but that's not what we mean." "Can I go to a new camp next summer?" "Kids!" "Focus!" "Last night!" "You ran out of wine, and you went to get more, and when you came back, we had new best friends." "God, I needed this." "No offense to that therapist, but she ain't got nothin' on Dr. Cabernet." "So what if Miles is a little pain in the ass?" "What kid isn't?" "If he were a little cuter, they'd call him precocious." "Totally." "I was beginning to feel like we were a family of nutjobs." "Hey, let's make a pact-- at least for tonight, we forget all about it." "Deal." "[sighs]" "Voila." "Boo." "Open another." "That's our last bottle." "What?" "Oh, no, no." "We're not going through a blizzard with no wine." "We've gotta get some; there's gotta be some in the building." "I'm going door to door." "We are profoundly bad parents." "Can Alice and Fanny sleep over again tonight?" "Who the hell are Alice and Fanny?" "[phone ringing]" "The landline." "Hello?" "Hey, me again." "Also, could you guys bring some maple syrup?" "Fanny says we're out, and believe me, she'd know." "She drinks it." "All right, thanks." "Guys, I think we had a one-night stand with that family." " Whoo!" " There they go." "So, I mean, would I ever do that?" " Never." " Right." "It's like that thing you said about elephant seals." " Mm." " That was so great." "Oh!" "Vermont!" "How fitting!" "We thought you'd appreciate that." " Vermont." "What a state." " Isn't it amazing?" "All of us living in the same building for so long" " and we never met?" " It actually seems impossible." " It's a shame." " Incredible." "And to think that you and I were both going through those miscarriages at the same time." "We could have gone through that together." "Right." "Do you guys smell something?" "There's--agh!" "Fire!" " Get the zapper." " I'm on it." "[shrieking] [whooshing]" " Holy shit." " Owen." " Owen." " Owen!" "Come out from there." "[whooshing]" "Hand 'em over." "Now apologize to Jill." "I'm sorry I lit you on fire." "That's... okay." "Go play." "I'm so sorry." "He only does that to people he likes, for what it's worth." "I'm mortified." "Hey, every kid's got something." "Totally--we've had endless trouble with Miles this year." "We know." "That therapist you were telling us about sounds terrible." "Yeah, don't take this the wrong way, but Mere and I were just saying what a relief it was to hear we weren't the only ones." "Sometimes, we feel like we're a family of crazies, you know?" " Yes." " You are not crazy." "And by the way, a six-year-old lighting matches?" "Talk about fine motor skills." "One way to look at it." "[laughing]" "Can I just say, these waffles are ridic." " So good." " Thank you." "It's my mom's recipe." "The secret ingredient is I opened a box of Bisquick." "[laughter]" "Andy, we found people who actually chow" " right in our building!" " Yeah!" "Can we get together every weekend and eat our feelings?" " Yeah!" " Yes, I'm so in!" "I love eating my feelings." "Mrs. Von Weber, What a lovely surprise." "Oh, Timberly, you poor dear." "It's just awful." "I can't believe she's gone." "Were you and Eloise close?" "No, not at all." "But I do know what it's like to be suddenly all alone in a triplex." "Might you care for some company?" "Some... companionship?" "I must be the luckiest widower in the world." "Thelma!" "Phoebe." "Come, join the party." "[ice cubes rattling]" "Room service, please." "For the lady, a Pellegrino with a wedge of Meyer lemon." " You remembered." " And for me" "I'm sorry, what?" "I see." "Bye, then." "What happened?" "The snow--none of the workers can get in." "[scoffs] I thought they lived here." "Room service is unavailable, but we are--get this-- welcome to come get it ourselves." " What does that even mean?" " I don't know." "Take the elevator and push the big cart?" "This storm is turning into a living nightmare." "[sighs]" "Nothing but simple carbs." " I'd rather starve than get fat." " Calm down!" "Shit's getting real, but we'll get through this." "Don't tell me to calm down!" "I am never gonna get my Meyer lemon water." "I'll figure something out, Brooke." "Have I ever let you down?" "[scoffs] I can think of one time." "Okay, I thought were were letting go of the past and taking ownership of what happened." " Oh, so it was my fault!" " That's not what I said." "But it didn't happen in a vacuum." "Don't do something you're gonna regret." "Brooke" "This isn't you, Brooke." "[shuddery breath]" "Yeah, I mean, every morning, at least one of them is in tears because Daddy's taking them to school and not me." "It's a stake through Andy's heart." "I know, it's the same for Brad, and I just tell him," " "Don't worry, it's a phase."" " Exactly." "But just once, I'd like one of them to say," ""I want Daddy to wipe me."" "I know, you know, but..." "I secretly love being the favorite." "When Fanny was three, she was such a daddy's girl-- it was like they were lovers." "And I admit it-- I was jealous." "So I turned her against him." "Sorry-- how?" "Little things at first, like have him take her to get her shots and accidentally tell him the wrong pick-up time, and then I finally just said," ""Listen, honey, Daddy loves Owen more."" "It took about a year." "It's been rough, honestly." "At work, all you have is one person to worry about." "At home, I'm fourth or fifth on the list." "So true;" "it's no fun being out of work, even for a couple months." "Well, I'm technically not out of work." "Brad, honey, it's not a couple months, it's 6 1/2." "Thank you for keeping such close track, dear." "Here's a wild idea:" "why don't you go back to work?" "She used to be a copy editor, back in the day." "I was, but I made the selfish choice of staying home to raise our children, so my bad!" "Forgive me!" "At least I get out of my sweatpants more than once a week." "This is, like, the most dressed-up you will ever see him." "Yeah, well, I don't know who she's dressing up for." "Not you--I get more sexual energy off the fruit vendor." "Well, good--why don't you let him hunker down with your eight hours of night gas, then?" "I just have a question about that garlic spray." "Is that something you cook with?" " Oh." "No." " No." "No, no, no." "This is something you spray on your kid's scalps." "It's supposed to prevent lice." "I think it's bullshit." "Yeah, well, so is lice." "I mean, people act like it is just the most devastating apocalypse on the planet." "I had a girlfriend who spent thousands of dollars de-lousing her kids, fumigating her house, throwing out the brushes and the hats and the blabbity-blah" "It's like, who cares?" "It's lice!" "[laughs]" "But your kids don't have lice now, right?" "No, they did-- well" "Fanny has eggs in her scalp." "She got sent home from school with, like, a neon-green note, like she was radioactive." "So what'd you-- what'd you do about it?" "Oh, you know, these things work themselves out." " Lice aren't killing people." " He's exaggerating." "We bought the shampoo and we're gonna use it." "We just haven't had a minute." "Okay, um, look at the time!" "We have totally overstayed our welcome." "Kids!" "Kids!" " Kids!" "Thank you so much." " What about our bloody marys?" "Take that off." "Take those off." "[all shouting] Say thank you!" " Thank you for having us." " Okay." "We'll be in touch with you about the house!" "House?" "What house?" "Okay, here we go." ""If you've come into contact with contaminated hair"" "Okay, kids, I want you to take off all your clothes and chuck them in the dryer now!" "Here it is." "The booking confirmation." "Winter cottage rental in Burlington, Vermont." "Vermont!" "That's why the syrup!" "What have we done?" "We just met these people, and we agreed to a three-month house-share?" "And she was wearing my socks." "What if I have body lice?" "We have to break up with them." "How?" "They live in the building." " We'll move." " What?" "Sell the apartment and move far, far away." "It's the only way out of this!" "What if we tell them we just found out your mother is coming to visit and we can't leave her alone?" "That's so dumb, it's insulting." "We have to do something!" "We hooked up with nutjobs!" "I've done a lot of growing, you know." "Me too." "I've grown a ton." "I've changed." "I think I've changed more." "I'm a completely different person." "Okay, fine." "We've both evolved equally." "So what do we do about it?" "In my now-extensive business experience," "I've found it's beneficial to set expectations in advance in writing." "You want to draw up a contract?" "No." "A vision board." "Let's put it all up here." "All our hopes, dreams, prospective vacation destinations." "Should you be drawing on the wall in Sharpie?" "I'll start." "My fondest wish for this relationship is that you never betray my trust." "Or what remains of it." "This is what I'm talking about." "If we're going to have a future together, you have to find a way to forgive me." "I have forgiven you." "And now all I ask is the right to lord it over you for the rest of your life." "I can't do this." "Where are you going?" "For a walk in the snow." "It's gotta be warmer out there." "[exhales angrily]" "Jesus, it's the Superdome in here." "Hey, Vaness, we need your advice." "We had a one-night stand with this family and we need to cut it off." " What?" " You've dumped tons of guys." "What do we do?" "Okay, has there been any contact since?" "Yes, and we traded clothes, and we're doing a house-share with them." "[laughs]" "Wow!" "You guys are easy." "How 'bout you say you're not ready for anything serious, you'd rather stay friends." "No, we need to kill this dead." "I never want to see these people again." "And one more." "To our dear friend, Timberly." "Really, Candace, haven't you quite had enough?" "If you can't keep up, grab a couch like the other one, sister." "What a treat this has been, in the company of such elegant beauties." "Yes, though it is funny." "Where I come from, we don't put on our big jewelry until 8:00." "Oh, darling, whoever said this was my big jewelry?" "Bottom's up." "[glass shatters]" "And then there was Candace." "[doorbell rings]" " Hey!" " Hey!" "Hi!" "Us again." "Um... so listen." "Jill and I have been talking about the Vermont house and so want to do it, but the truth is-- is my back and skiing do not mix." " We're talking traction." " No worries!" "That's why we sprung for the house with the hot tub." "Well, also the traffic." "You know, Vermont sounds fun in theory, but after five hours on the road..." "Don't worry, JetBlue just added service to Burlington for 90 bucks." " You can't beat it." " It'll be cramped." " Six bedrooms." " What if there's no snow?" " Then we'll hike!" " Here's the thing, okay?" "We moved too fast;" "we live too close." "We're afraid this won't end well." "It's nothing personal." "But lice is disguitious!" "We've had it, it sucks, but it's not a pulled muscle that just works itself out." "You have to deal with it!" " Oh." " Wow." "We just thought you guys were cooler about things." "Ding!" "Ding!" "Oh, excuse me." "I just received an email." "Oh, it's my mother." "She's visiting this winter." "We can't go to Vermont anyway, so..." "Oh, yeah, too bad." "I guess it's not gonna work out." "We'll see you around, yeah?" " See you later." " Toodles." "[door opens]" "Who is it?" "I've got the activity binder, and I know how to use it!" "Lex." "Thank God you're alive." "What is that?" "Some kind of non-Meyer lemon?" "I think they call it a..." "lemon." "[chuckles]" "You came through for me." "That's all that matters." "Everything else, we can work through or ignore." "Wait, wait." "Has there been a maid in here?" "No, I did it." "All by myself." "See how much I've changed?" "Come here, you." "Did you hear that?" " What?" " A noise downstairs." " [laughs]" " I'll suss it out." "Oh, yes." "Yes, you go suss it out." "[laughing]" "Yeah, you suss out-- [gasps] [moaning and panting]" " [snoring]" " Timberly?" "Timberly?" "Oh, Jesus, God." "Oh..." "Yeah, okay." "Oh, that's..." "mm-hmm, that's just fine." "[exhales]" "Oh, yeah." "Oh, baby." "Oh, you just keep snoring, honey." "Just keep snoring away." "[gasps] Ooh, good boy." "I think we've learned a valuable lesson." "Don't talk to neighbors." "I am never drinking again." "Never." "Want some wine?" "Little bit." "So babe, I've been thinking, it may not be the worst thing in the world if you..." "I went back to work early?" "I already emailed the board." "[both giggle]" "We miss you already." "[doorbell rings] [sighs] What do you want, Jill?" "Hi, sorry to bother you." "I just wanted to return your pig." "[pig grunts]" "Yeah, but that's not our pig."

"(Applause)" "Ladies and gentlemen, those were the words of Mark Twain over images filmed for the Lumière brothers in 1896... only ten months after they invented the cinecamera." "The Melbourne Cup still astonishes people." "It is still the race that stops a nation, and for that matter, the entire racing world." "But you can't have a horserace without jockeys... men and women who, despite the dangers, dedicate their lives to keeping this great sport alive and well." "So, back to business." "Jockey of the year, and winner of the Scobie Breasley Medal for 2002 is... for a record fourth time - Damien Oliver." "RACE CALLERS:" "He's out by two lengths." "Holds 'em at bay." "And Mr Murphy takes out the Guineas for Damien Oliver." "Fields Of Omagh fighting back with Magical Miss." "Yes!" "Omagh!" "Toledo's the leader in the Newmarket." "And Toledo!" "Toledo for Damien Oliver." "Fubu on the run on the inside." "Umrun, Mr Murphy charge." "Mr Murphy!" "Oh, he's done it again." "Viscount coming at her." "Sunline in front." "Northerly on the outside going at Sunline." "They got very tight, but Northerly wins the Cox Plate!" "(Applause)" "I'd like to call on one of Western Australia's leading jockeys," "Damien's brother, Jason, to make the presentation." " Jason." " Thanks, mate." "And they said he'd never make it, hey?" "Well, I did at least." "(Scattered laughter)" "I was the one out there riding professionally." "I was the one following in our dad's footsteps." "And right in the middle of my dream run, my little brother races past and leaves me in his dust." "Lately, he's been leaving a few other people in his dust as well." "But, Dame, my boy, well done, mate." "We're all very proud of you." "Uh..." "I'd like to thank the judges, my beautiful girlfriend, Trish." "No need to tell me I'm batting above my average." "(Audience chuckles)" "My good mate and manager Neil Pinner." "Good on ya, Pins." "And to Lee Freedman, the best trainer in the country." " At least in his opinion." "(Audience laughs)" " Hey!" " And to my wonderful family." "Especially my mum and my nan, watching this back in the west." "Mum, this is for you." "(Applause)" "You too, Dad." "(Cheering and applause)" "Ladies and gentlemen, top jockey and it's already gone to his head." "Not happy with any of our horses for this year's Melbourne Cup," "Damien is going to ride for the enemy." "Hey, excuse me." "Since when, Dame?" "Well, Lee hasn't got a horse running and there's nothing much else about, so..." "Suddenly an offer came out of the blue that I couldn't refuse." "(Audience murmurs)" "Don't tell me the Irish wizard Dermot Weld?" "Maybe." "MAN:" "What about riding an Aussie horse, Damien?" "I wouldn't go so far as to call my little brother a dirty rotten traitor, but there are some amongst us who would consider Ireland's foremost trainer just..." "Well, you know." "(Clock strikes the hour)" "Where's Vinnie?" "Dress To Thrill?" "Media Puzzle?" "(Snorts)" "His people skills are a little lacking, are they not?" "I suppose it's understandable." "How about I take him out today?" "Oh, thanks, Dave." "Hey." "Easy now, big fella." "Easy." "(Snorts)" "That's it." "That's it." "Steady now." "Time to go out to the gallops, boy." "You wouldn't want to be left behind now, would you?" "Claire, have you something to tell us?" "It's Media Puzzle." "He's playing up again." "As a herding animal, a horse is a creature of habit, particularly so in the case of thoroughbreds training for the track." "For, as we all know, particularly those in my employ as long as Mr Phillips, any deviation in a horse's training will have a significant impact on its performance." "Surely we all know that." "We also know that runners sired by Theatrical tend to have a bit of a temper, and this one's no exception." "Off you go." "Evolving Tactics." "Refuse To Bend." "Lovely, Dermot." "Just lovely." "Two of your best, Michael." "Both in superb condition." "Dress To Thrill." "Top Of The Morning." "And who might the third horse be?" "Well, the important thing is he's not one of yours." "With the money I pay you, I certainly hope not." "Vinnie Roe." "Media Puzzle." "I hear you're taking Vinnie to Australia." "Actually, Michael, I'm taking both." "Media Puzzle?" "I thought we decided he was headed for the knackery." "It's taken him 18 months to get his nerve back, but believe me, it's back." "He's flying." "Remember the English St Leger?" "Fourth." "A good fourth." "Plenty in the tank." "I'm telling you, with the right jockey," "Media Puzzle could win the Melbourne Cup." " Proud of you, mate." " Thanks, Jase." "You don't really mind me riding for Dermot, do you?" "Nah, maybe not." "Which one of his horses will you get to ride?" " Don't know yet." " It's a bit of a blind date." "The way I see it, anything Dermot brings out is going to be pretty good." "The rest is up to me." "Yeah, there's no doubt the bloke's clever." "All I'm saying is watch your back." "The man's full of bullshit." "Over there it's called 'blarney'." "Oh, is it?" "Well, it still smells like crap over here." "Oh, he's OK." "You know, I rode for him in Ireland a few years back." "There was an awful lot of chat, but his horses were great." "Anyway, wouldn't be an issue if you got a starter, would it?" "(Chuckles) Might be time to hit the track." "Work him over." "Six evens." "Home four." "You too, Marty." "Hmm." " What do you reckon?" " Yep." "He'll do." "(Aeroplane landing)" "RACE CALLER: ..and it's Don Eduardo and Carnegie Express locked together."

"Oliver has control of the race on Chong Tong." "He's out by a couple of lengths." "He's got it well won." "Damien, straight from Randwick to Flemington, makes it a twin-city double." "(Cheering)" " Told you." "Thank you." "NEWSREADER:" "In local news, the Australian Democrats could be without a new deputy leader until mid-November, after none of the..." "Someone could do with an early night." "Um..." "Yeah, I'd love to." "Unfortunately, the Eagles are playing North at the Dome and Jason's flying back especially, which is terrible, because I hate football." " Sure." " Mwah!" " He's crazy." "You both are." " Runs in the family." "Love you." " Love you." " Go, Eagles!" "CROWD:" "Eagles!" "Eagles!" "(Crowd roars)" "JASON:" "Go, Kerr!" "Go!" "DAMIEN:" "Come on, Kerr!" "Come on!"

" Hey!" "Who have we got here?" "One of your biggest fans, Mr Oliver." "My grandson." " Go ahead." "Say g'day, son." " G'day, mate." "Grandad's back's a little bit more welcoming." "(All chuckle)" " Ah." "Jason Oliver." " A man who knows his racing." " Better yet, a West Australian." "JASON:" "Nice." "I saw your father win the Perth Cup." "And your grandfather win the Kalgoorlie back in '65, yeah." "A bit before your time, of course." "If you wouldn't mind a picture with this fellow." "DAMIEN:" "Not at all." "Here we go." "JASON:" "Sure." " Would mean a lot to us." "DAMIEN:" "Mate, big smile." "RACE CALLER:" "..and Pugin continues in front, being followed by Ballingarry and Vinnie Roe."

"(Horse neighs, applause)" "What's next?" "Will Vinnie go to Paris?" "Will he run in the Arc?" "We'll just take our breath and admire ourselves first for winning the St Leger for the second time, I might add." "Were you worried, Dermot, at the halfway mark, given Vinnie's slow start?" "Now, now, Sean thought you'd know they don't give ribbons out for which horse is in what place at the halfway mark." "At the Curragh, Sean, as pretty much everywhere else." "What matters is how they finish." "Dermot, is there any truth in the rumour you're taking Media Puzzle to Australia with Vinnie?" "There is." "It's more company for Vinnie." "They're stablemates - great friends." "But he hasn't won anything in years." "This is true." "Not like our Vinnie. (Laughs)" "Oh, you champ." "How'd he pull up?" "If he had his way, he'd run in the next race." "Couldn't ask for a better ride, Pat." "Couldn't have asked for a better horse." "Australia?" "ls Vinnie good enough to take them on in the Melbourne Cup?" "Ah, I wouldn't say that." " He's good enough to win it." "(Both chuckle)" "This way, gentlemen." "This way, please."

"You're his manager - you should know better." "The only one it's ever good for is Dermot Weld." "Vinnie Roe's won every stakes race in Europe." "Don't think for a moment you're even going to get to sit on that horse." "Dermot's got Pat Smullen for Vinnie." " No, for you he's got..." " Media Puzzle." "I know." "The owners want me to ride Vinnie Roe." "I've even spoken to Dermot." "He's fixed on me riding Media Puzzle." "That horse is a dog." "If Dermot's bringing him out, he's no slouch." "That horse sat out all of last year with a broken pelvis!" "He hasn't even qualified, has he?" "We're gonna qualify him at Geelong." "You hope." "Does he always get this mad when he has to buy the beers?" "No, no." "He gets this mad because he always has to buy the beers."

"I'm not going to hold you to anything." "Big maniac of a horse will miss you." "We all will." "You've got something very special, Damien." "But your heart has got to be in it, you know?" "So, like I say, it's your call." "You only need to look at Pugin to realise why Frankie Dettori is regarded as one of the world's greatest jockeys."

"At least then I wouldn't have to... get up at 4 am every bloody day." "Starve myself half to death every bloody day." "Work my guts out every day." "For what?" "For a start, it's in your blood." "You also happen to be one of the best." "I don't think you'd forgive yourself if you didn't ride." "I'm not so sure." "If the spark's gone, what's the point?" "Maybe the spark's just dimmed a little." "It would be amazing if it hasn't." "I've seen blokes on top of their game." "Everything's a breeze - they can't do anything wrong." "Amazing moves." "Right on the money every time, no matter what." "It's like they're blessed." "And then, for some reason, they just lose it." "No matter how hard they try... or maybe because they try too hard... they never get it back." "Never ever." "What if that's happened to me?" "If I've lost my confidence," "I'll be a danger to myself and everyone else." "You haven't." "You're not falling apart, and your family's not cursed." "What you have lost is your amazing best mate of a brother." "I can only imagine how dreadful that must feel, but I know you'll get through it." "Maybe." "Take your time." "Any word from Damien?" "Not yet." "Five days." "Five days till the big day." "And we've lost our jockey." "Or perhaps worse, we're carrying one who's so grief-stricken he doesn't know whether he's coming or going." "Damien has an amazing affinity with this fellow." "Even if we got a top replacement," "I'm not sure we'd be any better off." "Hmm." "Remember '93, Dave?" "Vintage Crop, what we were up against?" "Well, we showed them then, and we'll show them again." "We've got two brave horses, and they know it." "When this race turns for home, they'll be in the thick of it." "I know that." "I also know this is one very special horse." "The Irish Wizard." "Ah, Saeed." " Good to see you." " You too, my friend." "Thanks." "From what the boys tell me, your trio's in fine form." "Well, they should know." "How are yours?" "You're saying you don't know?" "You tell me." "What about Damien?" "That's something we don't know." "Nothing to worry yourself about." " Trish?" " Hi, Lee." " How are you?" " Yeah, I'm good." "Glad you could make it." "Looking well." "Yeah." "That's what a week away from riding can do." "You know what they say about getting back in the saddle." "Hey, listen." "This is Trish's idea." "I really don't know." "I'm not sure I can even get on a horse." "No." "We'll take this one step at a time, OK?" "You sleep in tomorrow." "Things will look a lot better in the morning." "We'll get you a good breakfast, get you saddled up, then I'll teach you a thing or two about riding a horse." "(Damien laughs)" "Hey." "Hey." "That's a boy." "See, that didn't hurt, did it?" "Feels surprisingly good, then this isn't Media Puzzle." "So far so good." "Looks as fit as a fiddle." "No doubt about his ability." "Looked good." "How did it feel?" "Yeah, OK." "I'm not really sure." "It's not just the Cup." "I've got 12 rides booked before then." "I just can't stand the idea of going out there not doing my best, and people still cheering me on for the wrong reasons." "Look, Dame, I just want you to know I'm here for you." "I love you, and I'll support whatever you decide to do." "What do you reckon, Pins?" "Ollie, you just have to ask yourself, what would Jase want you to do?" "Hey, shh." "Hey." "Hey..." "Come here, come here." "Shh." "What do you reckon, big fella?" "What, you think I've given up on you?" "No way, mate." "We'll show 'em." "Jase wouldn't want us sitting around on our arses sulking, that's for sure." "Made your mind up?" "Yep." "Haven't we?" "And Hydrometer is joined by Davidoff." "Damien Oliver going for two straight derbies, but there are challengers galore." "Here comes Diamond Jake down the outside, and Helenus is coming on." "Go, Ollie!" "Down 150m to go." "Hydrometer kicking well." "Helenus is coming after him." "Ain't Here is joining in." "And Davidoff..." " Come on, Damien!" "(Crowd cheering)" "Helenus coming at him." "Helenus, Hydrometer, they hit the line." "Photo finish." "Helenus or Hydrometer." "Ain't Here has run third." "And then Maskerado, Diamond Jake, Davidoff." "Damien gave him every chance, but he weakens out late." "Rubitano has the flat side well beaten." "Oh, he's in front overall." "And it's the Newmarket winner, Rubitano, who scores," "Intelligent Star second, Cosmic Strike third." "Damien Oliver on Chong Tong - never a hope." "Do you think he made the right decision?" "By the grace of God." " Good one, mate." " Good on you, mate." "CALLER:" "And he soon after took the lead." "Lord Volksraad has a real fight on his hands." "Delago Brom coming home the better on the outside." "And it's Delago Brom who beats Lord Volksraad." "Charlie Bub third." "And Ollie on True Glo, back at the tail." "It's just not his day." "Excuse me." "That's seven losses on seven top horses." "He couldn't even get a place." "DERMOT:" "All very true." "SMURFIT:" "Surely enough's enough." "We have to replace him." "Not necessarily." "He's actually riding very well." "SMURFIT:" "All I know is he's not winning." "I put a lot of money into this venture already." "I'm the owner and I say he goes." "Well, I'm the trainer and I say he stays." "The man and the horse are champions." "That has to add up to something." "Both with huge problems." "We don't know if the horse will go the distance." "The jockey's paralyzed with grief." "DERMOT:" "He's still our best option." "SMURFIT:" "Dermot, I've always backed your decisions." "Are you sure we shouldn't reconsider?" "Yes, I am." "Don't forget Geelong." "He's not the same man who won at Geelong." "I believe he's the only man to ride that horse in the Cup." "And if it means risking the copious amounts of money you've given me to prove it, I'm prepared to do that." "LEE:" "Whole day was one big blur, wasn't it?" "I've had better." "Nice to win the ones he hasn't won." "You know?" "(Reporters chuckle)" " There's not many, you know?" "I mean, nothing compares with the Melbourne Cup, you know?" "It's a breed of horse race that has no equal, which is why, of course, it attracts the very best." "Australia has more race courses than Ireland, England," "United States and Canada combined, you know?" "I mean, that's a fact." "It makes it pretty special, doesn't it?" "Thanks." "Hello, Bart." "Ladies and gentlemen, would you take your seats, please?" " We all here?" " Everyone except Damien." "Well, he's entitled to run late." "Seven rides is a big day for anyone." "And in case you don't know it, they were damn fine rides." "Just wasn't his day." "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, and welcome to the barrier draw for the running of the 2002 Melbourne Cup." "And the first to draw tonight is the trainer of the top weight in Vinnie Roe..." "Mr Dermot Weld." "The luck of the Irish, as Vinnie Roe comes out at barrier No.7." " Good one, mate." " That's great." "And now it's time for the Cups king himself... 11-time Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Bart Cummings, who'll do the honours for Miss Melise." "(Applause)" "Oh, I know that look." "I've seen that before." "Not on you, though." "On your brother." "The day I had to let him go." "So, anyway, I'm sacking Jason, I'm sending him back to Perth, and you know what he does?" "He's a cheeky bugger." "He asks me for a favour." "Now, most guys will ask for a bit of extra pocket money or others will beg for a second chance but not Jason." "He tells me about his younger brother, just starting out." "You couldn't have been 16, but even then Jason knew that you were going to be a better jockey than him... or your father or your grandfather... better than they ever dreamed of being." "You know what he told me?" "He said, 'One day, my brother will be a champion.'" "Well, that day, my friend, was today." " Lee..." " Don't take my word for it." "You ask anybody in these stands today." "And I'll tell you, as one horseman to another, that sometimes being a champion isn't about winning." "It's about gutsing it out." "It's about what you did today." "Saeed bin Suroor will now choose for the Godolphin's third entry, Pugin." "(Applause)" " Better choose me a good one!" "(Laughter)" "Need I mention it, that Frankie Dettori is riding Pugin." "(Laughter)" "Not this one." "No." "Not this one." "That's..." "No." "One." "That's the one." " That's the one." "(Laughter)" "And Pugin will start from barrier 15." "(Applause)" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Well, who will do the honours for Media Puzzle, Mr Weld?" "Your turn." "Don't do this to me." "Pick him a nice one." "You pay me to look after your horses, not choose their gates." "David, today you'll do both." "Excuse me." "It looks like travelling foreman for the Weld stable," "Dave Phillips, has that honour." "(Applause)" "And Media Puzzle has drawn barrier 3." "(Audience murmurs)" "So I tell him..." "I say, 'You know, you'd better get me a good one or else.'" "And look at it." "But you never cross an Italian." "I mean, even the small ones like me. (Laughs)" "People say that closer to the rails is better, but..." "I mean, you know this track." "It's 1.000 m straight from the gate." "So, starting at 23, 24, you know, it's not the end of the world." "That's what they say, though I know where I'd rather be." "(Chuckles)" "You did good, mate." "Much obliged." "Damien, I don't know how to..." "Last year, Niall and I, well, our sister died." "No warning." "Never sick." "Just gone." "What that's done to our family, maybe you can understand." "So, when Dermot told me we were coming back to Australia," "I decided to devote all my efforts, all my energies, to winning the Cup for Veronica." "If you like, to honour her memory." "That good gate I got you wasn't just the luck of the draw, you know?" "Someone I love dearly helped me to do what I couldn't do myself, which is why, on Tuesday, when you race for the Cup," "I don't believe you'll be riding alone." "You two have been making race plans without me again?" "It worked at Geelong." "Are you OK?" "Yeah." "You've been to Ireland, Damien." "You know, the rare sunny day always punctures a long stretch of damp and darkness." "I know, on Tuesday, you're the one who can get the most out of my horse." "I've seen how he responds to you." "Between the two of you, you can do it." "Thanks, Dermot." "Welcome back to The Coodabeen Champions." "This Cup eve edition, we start to put together this jigsaw puzzle that is this year's Melbourne Cup." "It's interesting you talk puzzle, Richo, because" "I have not deviated from backing Media Puzzle." "I've supported it right through." "Saw it win at Geelong." " Spoke to Damien afterwards." " What did he say?" " Can't tell you that." " Then, why tell us?" " Well, I can't." " Should've spoken to Dermot." "Well, I've spoken to him too." "I went out to the airport, saw him on arrival." " Me and Dermot are like that." " Well, what did he say?" "'Can you take my bags up to room 732, laddie?" "'" "Whatever he told you, he'd do the opposite." "For goodness sake, spit it out." "What did he tell you?" " Well, I can't tell you." "BOTH:" "Why not?" "Because the laws of libel prevent me." "ALL:" "Oh." "Not surprised to find you here." "Nor you." "It's never easy." "I'll never forget the first time." " '93?" " Yeah." "Real or imaginary problems?" "All anyone remembers is that we won." "They don't realise that anything that could go wrong with that horse did go wrong." "How wrong?" "Vintage Crop had an inflamed sacroiliac." "He won a two-miler with a bad back?" "And ulcers." "And he hadn't travelled well." "Getting him to the starting gate was a victory in itself." "And still, after all that, every time I come back to race for the Cup, they treat me like I'm a cat burglar." "(Chuckles) I know what you mean." "Hmm." "Remember Phar Lap?" "Years ago?" "One of the greatest." "Right up there with Seabiscuit, Secretariat." "Didn't know how to lose." "Everybody knows about Phar Lap." "Yeah, but not the politics." "His owner was a working-class trainer." "Wrong side of the tracks, you know?" "His other owner was an American Jew." "In those days, it was a little bit too much for the old boys who controlled racing, so they weighed him down so heavily, he couldn't win." "1931 Cup," "Phar Lap carried 15 kg more than Vinnie's top weight tomorrow." " Fifteen kilos?" " Yep." "I guess we're a little bit like Phar Lap's connections, Saeed." "They want us here." "They want the prestige we bring." "But they definitely don't want us to win." "It's more than just a prize to them." "It's who they are." "Come to these shores to race for the Cup, you're up against more than 20 trainers." "You're up against the whole of Australia." "(Door opens)" "There's someone to see you." "Hey, g'day." "You're not lost, are you?" "(Chuckles) Nah." "I just thought I'd drop in." "I'm a big fan, even though you play for North." "You almost knocked us out of the finals." "Yeah." "I was there at the game with my brother." "Yeah, I heard about the accident." "I'm really sorry, mate." "The only good thing is it happened so fast, he never knew what hit him." "But, hey, I'm here to see you." "Mate, that Bali business - you were amazing." "No." "I didn't really have time to think, you know?" "Chaos all around." "Like a game of footy, really." "Yeah, but..." "Pulling people out?" "Diving back in for more?" "Anyone would have done the same." "I just knew I had to keep going." "TV ANCHOR:" "With the October 12 Bali bombings," "Australians were shaken..." "Hey." "How did you go?" "Yeah." "It was good." "This came from your mum." ""Dame, you'll be needing these." "Love, Mum."" "Oh, wow." "That's pretty special." "Yep." "Come here." "♪ TOPLOADER:" "Time Of My Life" "REPORTER:" "Welcome to famous Flemington, where we await an international audience of around 700 million as 170 countries and territories marvel at the race that stops this nation."

"Oliver's kicked him forward from an outside gate and has the lead but Tarcoola Diamond's coming at him..." "Tight on Damien, and take 6." "CALLER: ..a length in front of Toast Of The Coast, who can't go on." "It's You is flashing home." "But it's Tarcoola Diamond who wins." "It's You got up for second." "Joy Of Flight third." "Ollie's Toast Of The Coast dropped out late in the race." "And then Shot At The Title and Pomme De Here." "Then followed by Light Of Day and It's Fuji Beauty." "And Damien Oliver's terrible run continues." "His fifth ride today, finishing in fourth place." "In all 12 races on well-fancied mounts since his return on Derby Day," "Damien Oliver has finished no better than fourth." "Unusually, he's spent more time than normal for him on rides towards the rear of the field." "Our hearts go out to this champion." "You realise this is Damien's 13th ride and believe it or not- his 13th Melbourne Cup." "It makes you think, doesn't it?" "I'd say anything would help." "Next up, the event we've all been waiting for... the running of the 142nd Melbourne Cup." "So, we're there in Paris and Marienbard is..." "Oh, he's going really excellent." "The Arc is almost mine." "But it's still a long way to the finish." "And here comes Sulamani on the outside." "He finds another kick." "And I'm searching for the line, you know?" ""Where is the line?" "Where is the line?" "Where is the line?"" "And I..." "I tell you it later." "Bit of a rough one, eh, Ollie?" "Yep." "Anyway, glad you made it." "It wouldn't be the same without you." "Cheers, Macca." "FRANKIE:" "Come on." "I show you the way home, huh?" "Riders, please." "Gentlemen, I don't need to tell you that this is a big race." "The stakes are high." "Prize money of $4 million." "But that doesn't mean that the usual rules don't apply and you can get away with anything silly." "There will be no leniency for careless riding." "Penalties will be severe." "Now, as you know, the object is to ensure a fair go for all riders and horses, which in turn means a fair go for punters all over the world." "You all know the rules and we're relying on you to do the right thing." "So, good luck to you all." "And safe riding." "ALL:" "Thank you, sir." " Damien." " G'day, Pat." "I've been wanting to talk with you." "Yeah." "It's as simple as this the Cup is won or lost in the turns." "No, I mean about what happened last week." "We race differently to you guys in Europe." "There the tracks are wider." "Things develop more slowly." "Here, you make your move in the straight, watch your back in the turns." " Got it?" " I have, Damien." "Thanks." "Good." "Because once things start to bunch up, the gloves are off." "There's nothing us Aussie boys love more than a bit of rough and tumble." " (Chuckles)" " Good luck." "SPORTSCASTER:" "It's as busy as Bourke Street here, and there's a hive of activity here in the mounting yard... colour and, as I said, a lot of nervous tension." "There still is, of course, the big question mark how a lot of the international horses may handle this track that we've got here today." "The toppy, Vinnie Roe, and what an exciting horse." "He came across here..." "Thank you, gentlemen!" "Mount up, please!" "The stable, that wouldn't be in the same event as he... he has got so much ability and he's such a better horse." "But bottom line is he still has to carry the top weight of 59." "He's got Patrick Smullen on board." "The interesting runner is Media Puzzle, the second of Dermot Weld's chances." "Boy, didn't he win that Geelong Cup with authority?" "He broke the track record." "With Damien Oliver on board, wouldn't we love a win from Ollie and Media Puzzle?" "SPORTSCASTER:" "Any minute now they'll be making their way to the start." "Here, love." "Park yourself on that." "Will the European invaders steal the Cup, or can the legendary trainers..." "Go on help yourselves." "SPORTSCASTER:" "And imagine the scenes should champion jockey Damien Oliver salute." "They're heading for the track, and take... 10." "RACE CALLER:" "Ladies and gentlemen, the Victoria Racing Club presents the 142nd running of the Tooheys New Melbourne Cup." "The field is being led out by Vinnie Roe, prepared by Dermot Weld, ridden by Patrick Smullen." "Comes across as Europe's champion stayer." "No.1 is Vinnie Roe." "Vinnie Roe at $5.50." "Who wants him now?" "Place your bets here." "Here you go. $20 to win." "Media Puzzle." "Vinnie Roe will start favourite in this year's Melbourne Cup, and a firm favourite, too, at $5.50." "There's been very good late support for Pugin." "He's firmed in from $10 to $8.50." "And also Beekeeper, who has firmed from $10 to $9." "RACE CALLER:" "No.9 Pugin." "(Applause)" "Ridden by Frankie Dettori." "SPORTSCASTER:" "In a blaze of sunshine, the horses take to the track." "Could this be Godolphin's year?" "There are many who think so." "No.14 Media Puzzle!" "Damien Oliver!" "(Cheering and applause)" "You show 'em, mate." "Show 'em what we're made of." "Fifteen Mr Prudent." "Corey Brown." "BOTH:" "Oops." "DERMOT:" "Sorry." " I demand a stewards' inquiry." " (Chuckles)" "When my horses win, it will be done in a manner completely free of controversy." " Good luck, Saeed." " Good luck to you, Dermot Weld." "But this time I think you need it more than Godolphin." " Has it started?" " No, no." "Not yet." " You haven't missed a thing." " Hello." "(Gasps) Is that Veronica?" "Oh, yeah, it is." "She'd have loved this." "SPORTSCASTER:" "Have the local battlers got enough in the tank to foil the international raiders?" "Miss Melise could be the dark horse of the field and she's trained by Cups king Bart..." "Bit more right." "Bit more." "Getting there." "Yeah, that's good." "It's good." "OK, fellas, lucky dip." "Go." "MAN:" "I got Media Puzzle!" "MAN 2:" "What have you got, mate?" "(Men chat and chuckle)" "COMMENTATOR: ..but he says it's anybody's race." "Other experts say it's between Dermot Weld's entries and the highly credentialed Godolphins." "Both have performed well in lead-up events and they look in great shape." "(Sheep bleat)" "Sevens or eights on Pugin." "Eights that's value." "Eights on Pugin." "And seven on Media Puzzle." "Come on, who wants Damien?" " Sounds good." " Ten, Vinnie." "Give me 20." "Twenty on Vinnie Roe." "No worries." "What else have you got?" " Twenty on Damien." " Twenty on Damien." "Very good." "(Speaks French)" "OK, riders, time to go." "RACE CALLER:" "Starter's calling them up now for the Tooheys New Melbourne Cup." "The field is getting set." "It's English raider Jardines Lookout coming to a gate near the outside." "The Saab winner, Requiem, comes in." "Rain Gauge and Mr Prudent just in." "Just another day at the beach, mate." "You'll be just fine." "Damien Oliver brings Media Puzzle in." "And Vinnie Roe, the horse who's been backed into favouritism on track, comes up." "Easy, there." "That's right." "Patrick Smullen and Dermot Weld." " Now here's Sandmason coming..." " Righto, Cathy." "Close race 7." "The field is nearly ready." "Pugin is coming into a place next to Rain Gauge." "And they're just about ready." "(Horse shrieks)" "RACE CALLER:" "Trying to get over the front of the barrier stalls there," "Helene Vitality." "It's alright, mate." "He's just trying to get the jump on us." "RACE CALLER:" "Helene Vitality settles." "Starter to the ladder." "And they're about to go." "Alright, buddy." "This one's for Jase." "Racing." "Helene Vitality a little slow." "Distinctly Secret got out quickly." "So did Prized Gem." "Thong Classic near the outside." "Victory Smile and Daliapour into stride fast." "Vinnie Roe's getting across to be just behind the leading bunch," "Media Puzzle ahead of him." "Settling down now." "Racing up on the 2.800 m mark." "Daliapour on the inside and Victory Smile are the leaders." "Wider out, Sandmason going on." "Requiem just inside him." "And then followed by Hatha Anna on the improve on the outside." "Damien has Media Puzzle behind the speed, closely followed by Cyclades." "Pugin's going up wide, too, around County Tyrone, and then followed by Vinnie Roe." "Helene Vitality from the outside, and then Pentastic," "Distinctly Secret, Mr Prudent... (Hoofs thundering)" "Media Puzzle's in good shape." "So is Vinnie." "And everyone else." "Then Rain Gauge and Freemason three lengths away." "Out of the straight." "Sandmason may claim the Cup." "A length and a half clear." "Hatha Anna second." "Pugin next, travelling three deep." "Damien has Media Puzzle... (Hoofs thundering)" "DERMOT:" "It's almost time." " Time for what?" "For Godolphins to show their hand." "RACE CALLER:" "And Godolphins on the move." "Sandmason led narrowly." "Hatha Anna's up to second now." "Dettori has Pugin just behind them." "Vinnie Roe is making a move." "Media Puzzle next, with Victory Smile on his inside, about midfield." "Then followed by Pentastic, Thong Classic." "Jardines Lookout is well back and so is Hail." "(Thundering hoofs)" "Beekeeper's covering some ground and so too Mr Prudent, but Damien Oliver's giving Media Puzzle a charmed run in behind the pace, which was set by Sandmason." "Come on, big fella." "Come on!" "(Thundering hoofs) a fast-run Melbourne Cup." "Pugin is third." "Will one of them go after him?" "Not Damien or our Pat." "Those two know better than to go chasing rabbits." "They've been warned." "Followed by Pentastic." "Distinctly Secret, Mr Prudent," "County Tyrone, then followed by Media Puzzle outside Victory Smile, and then Thong Classic." "Hatha Anna has dashed to the front now for Godolphin by three." "In second placing Sandmason, then Pugin." "Then Beekeeper." "He's followed by Pentastic." "Vinnie Roe's gone up to fourth, followed by Daliapour, as they come to the home turn." "Let's see what he's got, Pat." "Media Puzzle's working into it for Ollie." " Yes!" "Yes!" " .." "And Beekeeper's coming." "They're followed by Mr Prudent as they twist the corner." "Now, boys, now!" "And now Media Puzzle." "Damien's winding him up." "Media Puzzle and Vinnie Roe neck and neck." "Come on there, boys!" "You're both in it!" "The two great Irish gallopers are coming." "But so too wide out now Beekeeper and Mr Prudent." "One of them's going to do it!" "Still there's nothing between them!" "What a finish!" "Passing the 350." "Damien Oliver sends Media Puzzle to the lead, ahead of Vinnie Roe, who can't find." "Back behind them - Beekeeper and Mr Prudent." "But Damien Oliver, riding with the spirit of Jason..." "BOTH:" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "I think he's got the Cup won." "(Loud cheering)" " Yes!" "Come on!" "BOTH:" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "But it's Media Puzzle clear, and Media Puzzle!"

"(Applause)" " Damien Oliver has done it." "The riders in the stand were with him every step of the way." "ALL:" "Yes!" "Sometimes I think you're the devil himself!" "Good on you, mate." "Good on you." "Eh?" "(Applause)" "For Damien!" "For us!" "For everyone!" "Yeah, I know, I know." "Media Puzzle!" "Who would have thought it?" "I thought the turns were supposed to be the key to winning this race." "Australia's top jockey once told me so." "But today, I lost it on the straight." " Way to bring him home, matey." " Thanks, Pat." " Magnifico, Damien." " Hey." "No-one could beat you today, huh?" "The saints, I think, they would not allow it." "Thanks, Frankie." "Ollie." "Hey." "Another 20 yards, you would have had me." " Not with him riding with you." " Good on you, mate." "Cheers." "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think there's ever been a more popular Melbourne Cup winner..." "No.14, Media Puzzle, ridden by Damien Oliver." "I Majestic music" "RACE CALLER:" "Everyone at Flemington was riding with you, Damien." "A supercharged ride." "And the Irish wizard, Dermot Weld, has rewritten the record books yet again." "Bloody rogue." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the winners enclosure." "A more popular Melbourne Cup winner," "I don't think we've ever seen." "Media Puzzle, Damien Oliver and Dermot Weld." "DAMIEN:" "Thanks." " (Laughs)" "Damien!" "Trish." "I Triumphant music" "(Laughs)" "Ladies and gentlemen, it's my greatest pleasure at these awards to say that this was a very special day for me when I saw my two brave horses turn for home upsides of the Melbourne Cup." "That's what you dream about." "And I was so proud of Media Puzzle." "He got a wonderful ride from Damien Oliver." "Vinnie Roe ran a superb race, but it was Media Puzzle's day today." "(Applause)" "To all the people out there in the crowd, you've been a wonderful support through the last two days, through this trying time." "And my brother, Jason," "I know you're up there, mate." "And I couldn't have done it without you, buddy, so this one's for you."

"Original subtitles by ADW" "Corrections, resyncing, and additional translations by Living On Video TV" "The kingdoms that your grandfather ruled for 44 years, giving them peace and tranquility, have been in great sadness and mourning since his death." "The just and Holy intention of its governance appears in his will, because he left Your Highness as his successor." "And although I, the Reverend Cardinal of Spain, govern these kingdoms at the service of your Highness," "I implore you to come as soon as you can." "As your presence would bring noticeable benefits, but also to prevent the damage that could otherwise occur." "Your highness must come and take the yoke the Catholic king, your grandfather left you with which so many brave and proud people have been have tamed."

"Hide the children!" "Come!" "Come on!" "Now!" "Come on!" "Don't stop!" "Death to Turkish!" "Don't stop!" "Death to Turkish!" "Death to the infidel!" "Halt!" "Stop!" "Do you want to kill the king of Castile and Aragon?" "Are you traitors to the king?" "Render to your king the homage he deserves." "Did you imagine Castilla would be as green as Flanders?" "Only that I would see some resemblance." "Even small." "And you, lord of Chičvres?" "I've never seen such amazing mountains." "Enjoy contemplating them Highness." "Now they belong to you." "The villagers beg for mercy for mistaking us forTurkish pirates." "Fools!" "They asked a thousand times for forgiveness." "They claim that news had not reached them of the death of his wife," "Queen Juana." "Have they learned from their mistake?" "Is my wish that no one is punished." "I hope that we will be better received in court." "Give this to His Reverence Cardinal of Utrecht." "May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve thy soul unto life everlasting." "Amen." "Your Highness, the Body of Christ." "Your Highness, the Body of Christ." "The Body of Christ." "The king is in Castilla!" "A year awaiting his arrival!" "And now he makes a mockery of those I sent to meet him by landing elsewhere." "Your Reverence, sea and storms do not obey any king." "I pledged my word for it." "How far does he think I can hold the mood of his subjects?" "First, he is proclaimed king..." "in Brussels!" "And the queen being in his life." "And how many positions have been distributed before setting foot in Castilla?" "Has he had the courtesy to consult me?" "I am the Regent!" " His Highness counts on you." " He does not!" "He knows that he should never have allowed himself to be declared a vassal of the French." "He only wanted to ensure the safety of their domains in Flanders." "And it was necessary to humiliate himself?" "No." "He compromised the future of all for which the late Fernando fought." "If I raised his head..." "I think" "I would be holding in my hands, a mud dam that is cracking everywhere." "Calm down, Your Reverence" "You have fulfilled and exceeded the mission entrusted to you." "You were his teacher." "Why has he acted in this way?" "Trust in His Highness." "He will not disappoint you." "He has already." "If he does not show respect for the laws of Castilla and Aragon" "I foresee..." "A reign shorter than his father's." "A year ago, you were going to inherit the crowns of these realms." "But my grandfather changed the will." "You were his favorite." "Do you think that it reflects his true will?" " He wasn't coerced." " No." "We don't know that." "During Isabel's life, they agreed that Carlos would inherit Castilla." "If everything was decided in advance, why did my husband educate you to be king?" "Are you insinuating that the will was manipulated?" "My grandfather changed his mind!" "He had his reasons!" "Perhaps!" "But many only see your brother as a foreigner who has usurped your rights and those of your poor mother." "The presence of Cisneros ensures that everything was done as agreed." "Cisneros, my darling, has already begun to realize that what was agreed is perhaps not what it should be." "Do not be overwhelmed, Leonor." "Surely, we will miss the amenities of court." "That is no comfort." "Sister, you'd think you were dragged here by force." "Was it not you?" " You must forget your Count." " I think only of returning to him." "No matter how high their lineage, a Count is not worthy of a princess." "Chičvres speaks through your mouth." "To have you with me right now is a great relief." "And I thank you from my heart." "Everything will be discussed in due time." "Nothing is more important to me than family." "Don't you know that?" "Now, I seem to hear our Aunt Margarita." "Do you not wish to meet our brothers who were born here?" "To see mother again?" "I confess I'm afraid." "Are you not?" "She is our mother." "And you don't think it is strange, this kingdom in which we find ourselves?" "Take advantage of it." "Soon there will be strangers who will enjoy our hunting grounds.." " There will be enough for everyone." " Maybe they will decide otherwise." "Those who accompanied your father had no intention of sharing anything." "Must we allow that Padilla?" "Have we not learned the lesson?" " Let's wait for developments." " In Castilla nothing works as expected." "Enough!" "Everyone must obey the will of my grandfather, King Fernando." " He knew what he was doing." " You are right, my lord." "And there is something nobody can never take away from you." "His desire that you... have this." "The Royal Seal." "It was not sent to Flanders." "Keep it;" "Because nothing is left to you." "And remember he wanted this and more for you." "Allow me to honour it once again." "You were born here." "You should succeed when your mother dies." "Not a foreigner." " You speak of my brother." " No, my lord." "He speaks of the feeling of Castilla." "Don't act as if I don't exist." " I meant no such thing, Your Reverence." " Everyone does it." "But that does not prevent me from knowing what happens in court." "Who has to take care of His Highness?" " Who was so badly advised." " Some might dispute his succession?" "In this land, there is no smooth succession." "Perhaps the law is not respected in Castilla?" "The King was first to break it." "He did wrong proclaiming himself." "Discontent exists, but there will be no time for them to prime and fatten it." "In a few days, the king will be in court." "Do you share the irritation of Cisneros but not his concern?" "Mother..." "What could be so urgent?" "Your daughter may not be baptized without you, Your Highness." "Princess Luisa of France." "My daughter." "In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." "Amen." "I will go to the altar of God." "To God, the joy of my youth." "Do me justice, O God, and fight my fight against an unholy people, rescue me from the wicked and deceitful man." " Who is the lady?" " Which, sir?" "Perhaps I would refer to another with her being present?" "The Countess of Chateaubriant, Francisca de Foix." "The sister of your friend Lautrec." "Married and a very virtuous woman." "I assure you." "...for they have led me and brought me to Thy holy hill and Thy dwelling place." "And I will go to the altar of God, to God, the joy of my youth." "Hear, hear the Constable of France." "Now, I must fear Carlos of Hapsburg, my vassal." "No, sire." "But do not you put your trust in him." "The Lord of Flanders has become the King of Castilla and Aragon." "He has inherited turbulent kingdoms." "He will still have to make them his." "He will succeed." "And when that happens," "Will he not claim Burgundy Which his grandfather lost?" "Or the Duchy of Milan, I govern for you." "Try to do wisely." "Since my conquest, Milan is as French as the City of Paris." "And I will defend both with my life." "Duke..." "You come to court wearing more jewelry and silks than your king." "Do I have to be wary of so magnificent a vassal?" "Carlos is my vassal just like you." "The higher your rank, the greater it makes me." "Beware of a powerful vassal Your Highness." "Because he tends to think that he deserves what his master owns." "Envy!" "The most miserable of sins." "But I will listen to my mother and take care of Carlos." "As much as you, Duke." "It will not be necessary, Your Highness." "Would you be envious if your ancestors were faithful squires of mine?" "It's not envy I feel for you my lord." "But devotion, loyalty and love." "What else can the best greyhound in my pack feel?" "We are family." "There can be only noble feelings between us." "How is your wife, my dear cousin?" "She is a delicate flower." "We just have to take good care of her." "Bring her." "Bring her to court." "In my garden, there are never enough flowers to be enjoyed." "The queen has gone to Your Highness." "It is not her that who I want." "As well you know." "All day, I've only had eyes for you , Countess." "Permit me to doubt that." "Was it not missing "flowers" you admired in chamber." "Just weeds compared with you." "I'm Married, sire." " Am I not also?" "But I am neither man nor king." "My master, Cardinal Cisneros wants to meet with you tomorrow." " Before celebrating Mass." " Don't worry." "I will come to his office." "No." "We will wait in the throne room." "He also begs you not to abandon court in the coming days." "What can the regent want of you but to send a message to the nobles most loyal to your grandfather?" "Cisneros is a righteous man and he thinks of you as a son." "Show respect for the law, but assert your rights." "Be faithful to the memory of my husband." "I beg you." "Don't miss the chance with which you are being presented." "And remember that you are not alone." "Let go of me!" " The regent has reconsidered." " Are you so sure?" "Why else would he send for the prince?" "I will not remind you of the narrow link that has always united us." "Your Reverence, you take care of me and to obey you is a blessing." "So my grandfather taught me." "He as not wrong trusting you." "You know the threat that hangs over our kingdom." "More than ever, we must act with determination and join forces." "I'm counting on you to counteract any opposition" "Your brother wants the crown only for himself." "You must respect the will of your grandfather." "His will was different for years." "He only changed at the last moment." "But he did." "Carlos is your older brother and rightful heir." "This was decided by Queen Isabel." "And your grandfather knew how to be loyal." "It cost him, but he was." "Just like me." "You must do the same." " You said that I would reign!" " Forget it!" "And stay away from those who only want to use you for their own benefit." "Do you prefer that my place is taken by a stranger who does not respect you or the law of Castilla?" "You have deceived me." "You and grandfather." "All my life has been a lie." "Your Highness..." "Tell me that I can continue to count on your loyalty." "Your Highness do not force me to lock you in a tower." "Do it, and my supporters will be multiplied by thousands." "I'm not naive." "You and my grandfather you were my best teachers." "And I see you have submitted." "Never ask me to forget and to stand aside!" "Do not count on it!" "It must be a grave issue that brings you here." "In all my years in these realms, it is the first time you have visited me." "Stay away from the prince." "How can you ask me that?" "Since childhood, he has been with me, beside my husband." "If you do not desist in your intrigues, you will have to leave the court." "What else could I expect of you?" "You never have forgiven me for taking the place of Queen Isabel." "Like so many others." "Neither my health, nor my age, nor your status will prevent me from stopping you." "I am the widow of a king who could not bear children." "In a Kingdom always hostile to me." "Do you think that I will not fight for my future?" "No one will envy your future if you don't respect the memory of your husband." "He wanted Fernando to reign." "You know as well as I do." "You imposed upon him the will of Isabel!" "I have always lived under the shadow of that woman, to whom I did no wrong." "But her time, like yours, has passed." "Mine is yet to begin." "And I'm not going to give up anything." " But what do you intend?" " I must leave immediately." "If the king will not come to me, I willl go to meet him." "You are the highest authority in Castilla." "You can not leave the court." " And less in your state." " Perhaps a civil war will break out." "It is my obligation to avoid that Are you going to stop me from doing that?" " I'll go with you." " No!" "Stay in court." "Keep an eye on the pack that threatens us and give me a full account of what happens." "The Governor of Cuba has learned of some land with riches incomparable to what we have know so far." " On the island?" " No." "Farther west." "On the mainland." "Others before him have recounted such figments." "Do you trust his judgment?" "He claims to have more evidence in his possession." "Perhaps the Crown should authorize an expedition." "The regent has too many other concerns." "Let the king decide when he arrives." "And let him grant a license to some Fleming to whom you are in debt?" " There are capable men..." " You take me for who I am not, sir." "Adrian of Utrecht is not beholden to anyone." "Simply now, there are more pressing issues on this side of the ocean." "Don't you think so?" "These bales must ship before nightfall." "Quicken the pace." "Come on!" "Take me inside." "My inexperience will have disappointed you." "I never knew a maid to surrender with such passion." "And even less being Spanish." " Dare you compare me to others?" " No." "It's just to let you know I never met a woman so sweet and burning at once." "Why would I be reserved, as if we were married?" "Open the doors!" "Open!" "Quickly!" "Are you going to prevent entry to the Governor?" "CortĂŠs!" "CortĂŠs!" "Is Dona Catalina Juarez in this house?" "Yes or no?" "We are gentlemen." "Let's not speak about a lady in her absence." "You're going to force me to record every guest." "Governor, my house is yours, but today you shall not move from this room." "Stop, excellence." "Your mother entrusted me with your sisters." " You are going to pay dearly for this." " He has nothing to answer for, Don Diego." "As from today, you can consider me the wife of Don HernĂĄn CortĂŠs." "Those who have brought it from the mainland speak of Indians who build in stone and are decorated with gold." "Certainly we have not known anything like this so far." "Send an expedition." "It is important that we get there before anyone else." " And put me in charge." "I will not fail you." " I know and I am sorry that is not possible." " Marry your lady." " The wedding will not be an impediment." "Will have to stay on the island taking care of your family." "I'll fix it." "Dear friend, no, once that road is undertaken, you can not undo it." " What is the Yucatan?" " Unexplored lands of the Indies." "And will the Admiral of Flanders be pleased by this appointment?" "He himself requested it Your Highness." "My good tutor!" "I have missed you much at this time." "And I you, Your Highness." "I would be happier to see you if it wasn't for what we have to deal with." " What should we fear?" " Everything, because the errors you commit" "Weigh as stones tied to the foot of a castaway." "It is urgent that you call on the court." "What stopped you from doing so already?" "Why so urgent?" "The party around your brother grows, encouraged by Queen Germana." "You think to oppose a legitimate succession?" "The proclamation in Brussels has diminished such legitimacy." " Cisneros approved it." " What else could I do?" "Encourage the disgruntled?" "But I fear to yield to the pressure." " I can longer count on his loyalty?" " Prove that he can trust you." " He will support you." "Go and see." " No!" "Cisneros is an obstacle unless you kiss where he treads." "Your Highness" "I will get a blessing for you more valuable than that of His Reverence." "That of The Queen Juana." "Lord of Chičvres." "Ghosts do not age." "So you are real." "Have you come to me with bad news about my children?" "Your Highness It is your heir, Don Carlos, who ordered me to prostrate myself at your feet and request you to receive him." " My son is in Castilla?" " Yes, my lady." "And accompanied by Princess Leonor." "So many times I have been told things that are not so." "How I could lie to you, Your Highness?" "Why would Carlos have to request an audience to see his mother?" "If he does, it will be because he wishes to be received by me as The Queen." "You are the owner of the kingdom." "In your hands it is safeguarded for your children." "No one has come to me with such words for years." "What is it, sir?" "Some, have an interest in pushing your son Fernando to claim rights" " belonging to his brother Carlos." " Some?" "Who?" " Queen Germana." " That..." "Only you can avert these evils and prevent your children reliving the story of Cain and Abel." "Your Highness, Will you ratify Carlos as your heir?" "Bring him here." "Superb gem." "Worthy of a queen." "Your wife will be the envy of the court." "Do you really think that Claudia will be the recipient?" "Its brightness is not comparable to yours." "But together, you will dazzle." "The salamander is your emblem, Majesty." "Will you permit me to pin it on you?" "Do you think I'm a mare of the royal stables?" "Do I have to appear before everyone marked as such?" "You reject my present?" "There is no gold in the world that can buy what is not for sale." "Condesa..." "A king does not buy;" "he takes what he wants." "Although you know he will listen to prayers and reasons." "Hear therefore mine." "I would rather die than become another of your fleeting conquests." "Don't worry about that." "If I can promise something to you nothing between us will be fleeting." "Accept it as a sign of respect I feel for you." "Quickly!" "Why can we not marry?" "How can you insult me this way?" "I have not deceived you Catalina." "On my return, I'll keep my word." "What if you don't return?" "How will you then restore the honor that you have taken from me?" "God knows if I do not have your child in my womb." "Pray then, that my journey will be short and profitable." "You have always said my sisters and I are like daughters to you." " I have shown that it is so." " Why are you going to allow this affront?" "That CortĂŠs does not deserve you." "Three bushels." "You bring a message from the governor?" "Behave and keep the sword." "If the governor wants to talk with me, simply ask." "Since when do you have to arrest me to talk to me?" "Do I have to treat you as a man of honor when you avoid your commitments?" "Or are you going to fulfill the promise you gave to Catalina Juarez?" "You have committed an outrage and denying a marriage, a crime." "If so, there would not be enough prisons in the world for all the criminals." "I remind you, Seńor Cortés, in the colony," "Spanish ladies are all under the care of the Crown." "And how many will continue to follow the few who came here" "If you can deceive them and leave them as if they were an Indian?" "And if you do not suffer any punishment," " what will preclude others doing the same?" " Punish me if I deserve it." "Do not be foolish." "You must marry and you must do it now!" "And give up the expedition?" "Forget it." "Because you will be caring for your new wife or you will be purging your felony in prison." "You know that these women they are like my daughters." "No parent would do with a daughter what you did with Catalina's sister." "Go." "If you don't pay for the crime of honour you will pay for your insolence." "Your Reverence..." "The King is with you?" "I departed to meet him, but my health left me stranded in this convent." "I have to talk to him." "It is crucial." "The King is going to Tordesillas to see to DoĂąa Juana." "So he will not pass here." " God give me strength to follow him." " Calm down." "Castilla's peace is at stake." "How am I going to calm down?" "Beg him to come see me." "Can you assure His Highness of your loyalty?" "I am loyal to Castilla." "To the work of Dona Isabel and Don Fernando." "And would just like... to transfer the power the courts gave me and to die knowing that the kingdom is at peace." "I'll take him your message." "I'm sure that he will attend you, as he knows how much he owes to you." "These realms will never accept a foreigner as King." "He must not make the mistake of his father." "You must rely on people born in them." "And I..." "I can tell him who to trust." "I..." "I did not tell the truth." "I do remember a mother." "her kisses, her dignity, her screams..." "Get out!" "You dare to hide yourself before the king?" "Come." "What is your name?" "Catalina is my name." "You have nothing to fear from your brethern." "No lady accompanies you?" "No one plays with you?" "The Queen is my company." "And I am yours." "And these are the clothes that you normally wear?" "No." "Well, they are the newest at my disposal." "Your Highness The Queen awaits." "Have you come to get us out of here?" "Your Highness" "Receive your children, those you have as your humble servants." "Arise..." "Arise." "My children!" "My dear children." "How you have grown!" "There will be time to talk." "Now, let me." "It's been a long journey and you must rest." "I also need to rest." "You should also enjoy ripe fruit because you can not save its freshness over time or think that others will not take advantage of what you foolishly refuse to take." "Are these tips worthy of a sovereign?" "I am afraid I was too permissive with you." "Claudia..." "Thank you, husband, for this gift." "That gives notice to everyone of the happiness that your daughter is to you." "My caesar..." "Neither modesty nor virtue makes a woman reject honours, but the ambition." "Perhaps." " But is not the case with the Countess." " It's a smart woman." "who knows that by rejecting a gem, its value increases, and she will end up getting two." "You have never interfered in my affairs." "Why now?" "Because there is a lineage behind Francisca ready to thrive at the expense of the Crown." "And who does it in France?" "Don't worry mother." "I possess as much authority to give and to remove." "The Duke of Bourbon is aware of your interest in this lady." "Apparently he knows her appetites," "Since he boasts of having satisfied her before you." "Would you send forces to take a place scorned by such a worthy vassal?" "What sovereign would?" "Gentlemen..." "We will participate in a decision that particularly concerns you." "Lord Duke of Bourbon, from today, my good friend Lautrec will occupy your position as governor of Milan." "But, Your Majesty, How have I disappointed you?" "In nothing, my friend." "I appreciated very much the tenacity with which you have fulfilled my mandate." "Yet you arrange for my relief by an inexperienced man to whom everything is new?" "Yes that's what I've decided." "Sire, I demand an explanation!" "The King of France explains only to God." "Has someone offended the Constable of France?" "Yes, ma'am." "The only one who can." "My son's mood is changeable." "It will be forgotten tomorrow." "Today, I am no longer governor of Milan." "Tomorrow, Lautrec will already be there." "How will it be forgetten?" "A cretin, whose only merit is to have a sister to the liking of The King." "His Majesty decides." "We obey." "No, madam." "A good king does not allow himself to be governed by his passions." "France deserves the best, not a tyrant." "Your Highness" "It should be great comfort for you that your son will free you of the burden of Government of your realms." "Between mother and son, the roles remain." "There is another." "It is my desire to learn to govern following your advice." "You will need me at court then." "As you please." "However," "I have to fulfill the mandate of my father and ensure your welfare." "I'm sure You will do that with the same exemplary zeal." "I've grown apart from you, mother." "This is the way others have arranged it, regardless of the pain it causes." "Now having you so close, the obligations our status will separate us again." "Hear the prayer of your son who loves you." "Nothing in it is from spite or ill will." "If God had acted upon my request and I had been with my husband," "I would have paved the way." "But that was not his will." "And I am still, by his design, the Queen of Castilla." "Kneel before your queen." "It is by my agreement, as I alone have such power, that you govern in my name these kingdoms that also belong to you." "Never forget who you are and what is what is expected of you." "Your Highness!" "You arrive on time." "Hopefully negotiations with The Regent have gone as well as ours." "Cardinal Cisneros is still on your side, Your Highness." "He wants to pass to you the powers he was given by the courts before he dies." " He thinks his time is soon?" " And I think it is wrong." "I'm sorry for His Reverence." "We will try to seek a worthy successor." "No one knows these kingdoms like him." "He is sure that his advice will help you." "We will leave as soon as you command." "My sister Catalina with come with us." "Think about it, Your Highness." "To The Queen..." "The captivity of my poor sister has concluded." "Here they come." " Are we going to leave our mother here?" " It's for her own sake." "You, better than anyone, should know that." "The Court of Castilla is waiting for us." "Are we not going to meet Cisneros?" "And risk having His Highness hear what does not suit you?" "It is you it will not suit." "Will you avoid him even in his last moment?" "The King owes him a lot." "Nothing can be done for him that has not been done already." "Let nature take its course!" " Juana has bowed to the usurper?" " Castilla can not have two kings!" "We lacked daring." "We should have gone to see her!" " Everything is thus determined?" " No." "Your mother can only stop being queen when she dies." "But the Crown of Aragon can still be yours." "I gave my husband a son." "Although he lived only a few hours, he invalidated the oath of Juana as heir." "Only the courts can decide who is responsible for the throne." "Do you want to separate the two kingdoms?" "Did your grandfather not mean for me to give him children?" "Being king of Aragon, you could present yourself in Castilla as a supporter of the rights of The Queen and claim a regency on her behalf." "With Carlos as a foreign usurper, the kingdom will be in your favor." " How do you know how many would support me?" " Mendozas and Pachecos are my family" " and would be with you." " What about Alba?" "The Alba, always side with Castilla." "Let me talk to my grandfather." "The regent of Aragon will also provide us ears." "Count on major cities." "I guarantee Toledo." "By their example, will soon follow Burgos and Segovia." "Add "the spears", Your Highness." "Be convinced that if you take this step, your rights will not be violated." " But have you gone mad?" " You are the largest single Castilla who remained loyal to King Fernando when everyone turned their backs." "Well I'm proud." "Alba are loyal to our Lord." "But Carlos is not our master." "What courts proclaimed him?" "What awaits Castilla if it falls into their hands?" "Being violated by foreigners!" "I know better." "Enough!" "Now, one can only be loyal or traitor to the will of kings." "Why respect a will that harms both of us when we all know Fernando was destined to be crowned?" "Because that's the law!" "No law is above the good of Castilla!" "There will be war." "And the defeat will mark the traitors, but there will always be an Alba among them." "Because you and I will find ourselves on opposing sides." "Catalina!" "Catalina!" "Catalina!" "Catalina!" "Catalina?" "Where is my daughter?" "What have you done with my daughter?" "Dogs!" "Bring her back to me!" "Bring her back to me!" "I will certainly die." "I will certainly die." "Who am I?" "Who am I?" "We must return, Your Highness." "The queen is mad." "The loss of Princess Catalina has prostrated her, she is bedridden." "She will not eat or drink or allow herself to be washed" "She says she is ready to die if her daughter is not returned." "You risk losing favour with The Queen." "Are you afraid it will hand the crown to my brother?" " It won't." " What if she dies?" " That would be the end of the problems." " The Queen can not die." "Before Castilla has to forget." "God forgive me..." "Catalina!" "You must return to Tordesillas." "Have you no heart?" "One day, I will be back to take you with me." "Now, let's talk about what we should tell our mother." "In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" " Amen." " Amen." "I join you in marriage." "What are you doing, my lord?" "Can you not sleep?" "I was thinking about how generous the governor has been." "An even broader mandate," " Greater sharing of Indians." " We have more than we ever dreamed." "A few days of navigation to the west," "There are lands and people of whom we know nothing." "And I feel that wealth, real wealth, awaits us there." "You will risk your life for it?" "What would I do if...?" "You are my wife." "You would lack for nothing if something bad happened to me." "You deserve to be taught a lesson, but you are not a man I can do without." " You will go on the expedition to the Yucatan." " You will not be sorry." "Let's go and take what we can." "Who knows if this adventure will last?" "It is up to us when it ends." "Unfortunately, in this case neither you nor I will decide." "There is already an owner." "Carlos has given the Yucatan to a noble Flemish." "Are we going to explore land for another to get its treasures?" "And a Flemish?" "The rights should go to the Castellanos." " I like it as little as you." " Write to the king about this outrage!" "You will do it also." "Combine your letter with mine." "He must see that the entire colony is insulted," " not only the administrator." " Count on it." "Highness..." "I beg you..." "What do you think?" "Move away." "Master!" "Leonardo, get up!" "Look." "Your son is king because he married me." "I gave the throne!" "My dear, will you end up like Juana de Castilla?" "Of you, only one thing is expected." "You give heirs to the kingdom." "Not a negligible mission." "Fulfil it and let life be generous to you." "How?" "By closing my eyes?" "You gave him a kingdom." "He will give you an empire." " These are words full of courage - and justice." "Just like yours." "When you go, tell the clerk to come in." "This letter of seĂąor." "CortĂŠs must reach the king's hands as soon as possible." "He will not come." "I can not lie to you in this situation." "Open the top drawer left." "It is my will." "Take it to His Highness." "It will help him to avoid errors in government." "Tell His Highness" "I die praying for him." "And these realms." "My Lady, cease in your grief." "For I have brought my sister Catalina." "The Lord of Flanders, will regret for life taking the princess, thinking about my own good without regard for your wishes," "I decided to take her with us and give her the life a princess deserves." "When will these Lords of Flanders understand that in Castilla we do not like them meddling in our affairs?" "Calm down, mother." "We beg your forgiveness." "Is Catalina here?" "Mother!" "Only force could separate me from you." "Nobody can stand to lose everything." "Not even a queen." "I will make this gesture have your reward." "Your Highness..." "I am sorry to present myself to you in this manner." "The King always has ears for the Duke of Alba and is glad to see you." "My lord, do not procrastinate any longer over your coming to court." "Castilla is a powder keg and the fuse is already burning." " The situation is so serious?" " The kingdom is divided." "Even in the best families, parties are formed." "Why would the presence of His Highness calm things down?" "Would it not be better to tackle the root problem?" "Your brother is a good Castilian." "It is hard not to love him." "But do not you allow yourselves to meet." "Who are the greatest in the kingdom?" "I can only answer for myself." "We have legitimacy and strength." "God is with His Highness." "If they want war," " the will." " No, no." "I have not come to these realms to make war." "What do you suggest?" "Only Cardinal Cisneros can transfer power to you." "Go and see him." "His Reverence is dead." "Unfortunately there is nothing he can do for you." "Come to court soon." "But with enough armed men." "My lord, if your brother is not loyal, you must order his arrest." "And Queen Germana." "I know of only one way to check if Fernando is with me or against me." "Send a message that I will talk to him wherever and whenever he says." "That's madness!" "Do you think to put yourself within reach of your enemies?" "My family is my strength!" "Do what I say." "Your Highness..." "This is the will of Cardinal Cisneros." "He himself entrusted to me on his deathbed, I give it to you." "You will know better than I how to deal with this matter." "Gossips torment me talking with ill will about Carlos." "Both are blood of my blood and I know that such infamy is impossible." "No doubt that you will be faithful to The House and bond that unites us." "For although young, honour and your love for it will never allow any complaint against him or against your mother." "What news is this that upsets you so much My Lord?" "The Queen?" "What interest can you have in the words of one who lacks judgment?" "Read!" "And then tell me if she is crazy." "For this?" "For this, you will give up the Crown?" "Your mother lives far from the feeling of the realm." "Decide if you want to be remembered as a good son or good king!" "Your Highness!" "Your brother wants to speak with you." "All will go well, MarĂ­a." "Bonjour." "Lady." "As great a gentleman as my grandfather could not have chosen a better queen." "Good morning, brother." "Brother!" "I could never use that word." "Now I hope to always have it on my lips to show the affection and loyalty that binds me to you." "Accept the Golden Fleece, a sample of gifts for you in my reign." "We are a family." "Everyone must see that." " Long live the king!" " Viva!" "Fernando does not support us." "Little we can do without their rebellion against Carlos." "Surround the Yucatan." "I just ask you permission to sail." "I did not know to give up the crown you also lose your favor." "But it's nothing that I serve you now!" "The constable's wife has died." "From now on, you'll have me aware of everything you do." "Oh you will pay for risking the life of the king." "Snatch it all, my Caesar." "Everything!" "Castilla is against him." "It has been sworn, but no Castilian feels he is king." "Rise up and everyone will follow you." "Your nephew, Archbishop of Toledo?" "It is a key position in Spain and we have to keep it under control." "You will never have the heritage of the Bourbons." "You know very well I have a right to their heritage." "Soon, the Parliament will be held." "There, we will hear." "They will have no choice but to repent of their misdeeds." " Everybody hates me as a foreigner!" " Let's get married, Carlos." "How do you give an expedition to one who has admonished His Magesty?" " Admonished?" " Obey me and you will lack nothing." "In return?" "You seek protection in a betrayal that has not been to betray you." "Ratify the commitment to Princess Isabel of Portugal." "You do not have to love me to remain."

"I just wanted to hear your voice and tell you Russ and I were married last night." "Married?" "Forgive us for not letting you know, darling." "[BUZZER SOUNDING]" "I've gotta hang up." "Let's have dinner tonight." "Can you?" "Don't forget." "Bye." "RUSS:" "Fourteen, 13, 12, 11, 10, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." "HANLEY:" "I know how the designer feels hearing a thing like this, but Project Sky Hook hasn't worked out the way the Defense Department hoped." "Tell me, how many birds have you sent up so far?" "Eleven, counting today's." "And how many are you in contact with right now?" "Just one." "Today's." "I admit we haven't been able to track them visually so far, but we'll correct that." "Don't be too sure of that." "We can certainly tune them in if they're up there." "What I'm trying to tell you is that they're no longer up there." "That wasn't a meteorite that fell on Panama." "It was the burned remains of Number 7." "I made sure of that myself." "What?" "And Intelligence has reports now which convince us that 1 and 3 fell over Africa," "Number 5 around the North Pole, and 9 and 10 along the Andes." "The rest can be presumed to have been lost someplace at sea." "What happens to them?" "Apparently they blow up in outer space." "Why?" "There's nothing explosive in them." "You can take it from me, when a rocket's blasted off, it should circle the Earth for a long time." "That is, unless..." "CAROL:" "Russ?" "Dad?" "Unless what?" "Unless someone, something, shoots them down as fast as we set them up there." "Why, no gun in the world can shoot that high." "No." "No, of course not." "CAROL:" "Bring spoons for your coffee." "Ah, my special barbecue." "Mm-hm." "That's to make up for not telling you about our getting married." "It was kind of sudden for us too." "Sudden?" "I've only been after him for a year." "I don't need to tell you, both of you, how pleased I am." "Well, I'm glad of that." "I wouldn't like it very much if you weren't." "Thank you." "Russ, what were you driving at back there, about something shooting down one of the satellites?" "General, we saw a strange thing this afternoon." "We saw what appeared to be a flying saucer." "A flying saucer?" "It nearly ran into us." "You're sure of it?" "Both Carol and I are subject to the same atmospheric disturbances that may have affected other observers, but there is a qualitative difference when you're a scientist." "We do have one piece of supporting evidence:" "An accidental recording of the sounds it made." "The tape is in the lab at the project." "I'd like you to hear it tomorrow." "You both saw this?" "Yes." "Excuse me." "From Captain Holoway, sir." "Oh." "Will you sign here, please?" "Who's Holoway?" "He's on monitor duty this evening." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "[JEEP DRIVES OFF]" "They've just lost contact with Number 11." "Oh, Russ, I'm sorry." "Is it still in range of our receivers?" "If it hasn't been knocked down." "Look." "What are those lights?" "They're what the pilots call foo lights." "St. Elmo's Fire, in ancient times." "The superstitious regard them as omens of things to come." "The best science has been able to make out of them is that they're electric particles agitated by moving air." "Same principle as the aurora borealis." "There have been so many around the project the last couple of days, we all just take them for granted." "Bird 11 ought to be visible in the sky right now, on its second lap around the world." "Look, there it is." "[###]" "Was that it?" "Yes." "Well, surely you're not going to send up Number 12 tomorrow after this?" "I have to." "Why?" "With a television pickup, cameras and microphone." "I should've done it before." "This time I'm gonna know what's happening up there and know the reason why." "Come on, let's finish our dinner." "Checking TV pickup." "Getting a good image?" "Fine." "TV's okay." "I'll be down in a couple of minutes." "Tell them to hurry it up." "Do you notice anything different since you were here last?" "Soundproofing?" "That's right." "You could fire a cannon off outside and you couldn't hear a thing down here." "MAN [OVER INTERCOM]:" "Number 12 okay for takeoff." "Well, as an old rocket man from way back, I'd rather watch from ground level." "MAN [OVER INTERCOM]:" "Dr. Marvin." "Dr. Marvin." "Marvin here." "You getting ready for a siege?" "Well, Russ and I are gonna take turns monitoring this one ourselves." "For days, if necessary." "Soundproof privacy and the last word in scientific solitude." "Happy honeymoon, darling." "Thanks, Dad." "MAN [OVER PA]:" "Prepare rocket for launching." "Prepare rocket for launching." "[WAILING]" "MAN [OVER INTERCOM]:" "Rocket Number 12 will be launched in five minutes." "KIMBERLY [OVER INTERCOM]:" "Four minutes to zero." "Check." "Take it up at zero, Major Kimberly." "KIMBERLY:" "Okay." "Stand by." "EVANS:" "Observation Tower A, come in." "Evans, Radar to Tower A." "Observation Tower A, Sergeant Nash." "EVANS [OVER RADIO]:" "UFO due west, approaching fast." "What does it look like?" "EVANS:" "Can't tell yet." "I'll call when I get a better reading on my scope." "Do that." "As you were, sergeant." "Unidentified flying object reported due west, sir." "Probably a buzzard." "[PHONE RINGS]" "Sergeant Nash, Observation Tower A. What?" "Forget it, Walters, this is no time for gags." "It's two minutes to zero." "Sentry at West Gate has spotted a flying saucer, sir." "Evans, Radar to Tower A." "Tower A, Nash." "EVANS:" "I got a better reading on my scope, sergeant." "That UFO is over the west sentry post." "It look like a flying saucer, Evans?" "EVANS:" "Yes, it does." "[###]" "Sky Hook Control to approaching object." "What is it?" "I wouldn't know." "Connect me with Dr. Marvin's lab." "The line is dead." "Look at that, general." "It's landing."

"RUSS:" "They'll..." "They'll dig us out." "[WHIRRING]" "Where am I?" "What...?" "ALIEN:" "We are speaking to you through the translating device above your head." "Can you understand us?" "Yes, and I hope you can understand me." "Whoever you are, whatever you are, you'll regret what you did at the project." "ALIEN:" "Perhaps you can explain why, after contacting Dr. Marvin, we were met with violence." "You've contacted Dr. Marvin?" "We spoke to him." "All he heard was meaningless sounds." "The same kind of sounds I just heard." "We had hoped a sufficient adjustment for the time differential between us would have been made." "I don't understand." "Evidently, you do not realize you are in an interstellar conveyance." "You are already outside the atmosphere of your own planet." "As a prisoner, all I am required to tell you is that I am General John Hanley of the United States Army." "[HIGH-PITCHED BEEPING]" "These are all the facts leading up to the rocket explosion at Operation Sky Hook." "To the best of our knowledge, my wife and I are the only ones left alive, since we have not seen or heard anyone for hours." "The air is becoming toxic." "In the event of our death, this report, together with the recording of the saucer sounds on this tape, constitute all the data we have." "The batteries are failing." "The recorder is not running up to speed." "This is Dr. Russell A. Marvin." "[CLANK]" "Russ?" "Where are you?" "It's all right, honey." "The gas generator stopped, that's all." "CAROL:" "Please come close." "I'm afraid of the darkness." "ALIEN [ON TAPE]:" "Dr. Russell Marvin." "The tape." "ALIEN [IN DISTORTED VOICE]:" "It is very urgent that we meet." "We will appear tomorrow at Operation Sky Hook when your sun is exactly over your local..." "[VOICE GARBLES]" "That's the sound of the saucer we heard on the tape." "The message was sent at an accelerated speed so it just sounded like gibberish to us." "When the batteries died, the tape slowed down and the voice became clear." "If I'd only figured it out before, maybe we wouldn't have been trapped down here." "[###]" "NARRATOR:" "What had snuffed out hundreds of lives and leveled an installation worth millions of dollars?" "An aroused public demanded an answer, and the federal government dedicated the strength of all of its branches to the task of finding one." "However, when Dr. Marvin and his wife were rescued, the answer was to be found in the experience of the only two human survivors and in a reel of tape recording they carried to Washington, D.C. And the Pentagon." "ALIEN [ON TAPE]:" " Operation Sky Hook." "RUSS:" "There can't be any doubt about what it means:" "A landing at the project was proposed on the day of the disaster." "There was to have been a meeting." "If I couldn't keep the appointment, a message was to be sent on a designated wavelength by ordinary shortwave transmission." "Does anyone want to have the recording played again?" "You've heard it a dozen times." "My wife and I, for three days and nights, have been telling what we knew." "We've been before every committee, commission and review board in Washington." "It's time we decided to do something." "The tape is by no means conclusive." "Certainly doesn't prove that your so-called flying saucer caused the destruction of Operation Sky Hook." "I grant you that." "A strange voice, a set of instructions that might have come from anywhere." "Well, has anyone a better idea of what happened?" "Personally, I'm inclined to accept Dr. Marvin's conclusion about the connection between the message and the disaster." "All right, so am I." "Then why not let me try to contact them, meet them, find out what this is all about." "If we are to be confronted with a hostile and unknown power, any decision to meet with them must be made at the cabinet level." "Well, I just hope that while we're waiting, another disaster doesn't occur." "We're pressing for the earliest possible action." "The secretary of state is flying back from Europe, the secretary of defense is returning from the Pacific." "If a meeting could be arranged in the meantime, the only risk would be to me." "I feel personally responsible for what happened." "I was in charge." "Hundreds of lives were lost." "My own wife's father..." "If I had the authority, I'd grant it to you." "But we will have to wait." "But I promise you that we will recommend that you be authorized to make radio contact and meet with..." "With whoever they are." "Are we through for the night?" "Yes, but we're going to ask you to remain at your hotel." "You mean I'm under detention?" "You may be needed at any time." "Major Huglin is assigned as your liaison." "Good night." "Good night." "HUGLIN:" "Dr. Marvin." "Dr. Marvin, I don't like this watchdog routine any better than you do." "I'm under orders, I have a job to do." "We're both on the same side." "I'm sorry." "I'm just tired and worried." "I know." "Well, you were in there." "You heard both sides." "Who do you agree with?" "I agree with you as far as the urgency is concerned, but they're right too." "They're responsible to a chain of command, they have to be careful, and this thing may be too big to allow for mistakes." "[###]" "Russell Marvin calling on 225.6 megacycles." "Over." "Dr. Russell Marvin calling on 225.6 megacycles as per instructions." "Are you listening?" "If you hear me, please reply." "I am tuned in on the same wavelength." "Over." "ALIEN [OVER RADIO]:" "We hear you, Dr. Marvin, and we understand you." "Do you understand us?" "Yes." "Who are you?" "Listen." "It is now 9:30 a.m. Earth time, Greenwich Meridian Time." "We will be waiting at exactly 11:00 a.m. At the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, where the North Beach Road reaches the sea." "Do not raise an alarm, and keep this appointment." "Listen to me." "I can't keep the appointment." "I'm under orders." "I'll be able to meet you in a few days." "Do you hear me?" "Over." "Russ?" "Hello, hello." "Dr. Russell Marvin calling on 225.6 megacycles." "Do you hear me?" "Please come in." "Over." "Eleven o'clock Greenwich time." "It'll be 6:00 here." "I can just make it." "You're not going." "I heard you say you're under orders." "I didn't arrange this meeting." "I just asked them to wait." "Who ordered that radio?" "I did, today." "I was hoping they'd give me the go-ahead and let me use it." "You can't go." "I've already lost Dad." "You shouldn't have called them." "Well, maybe I shouldn't have and maybe I should." "But it's started now and I've got to go through with it." "But it's not your job alone." "Call someone!" "Call Major Huglin!" "Room 312, Major Huglin." "Hurry, please." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Hello?" "Yes." "Yes." "Thanks." "Well, call the garage." "Tell them not to give him a car." "Tell them he's sick, anything, out of his mind." "I'll be right down to take care of it." "Sure thing, Mrs. Marvin." "Frank, may I have my car, please?" "Gee, Dr. Marvin, I can't." "I was talking to your wife on the phone and she said that I..." "But, Dr. Marvin, I can't let you have the car." "Get out of my way, Frank." "Please, Dr. Marvin, I don't want to lose my job." "Ooh!" "[###]" "There he is." "See if you can get him on the radio." "CAROL [OVER RADIO]:" "Hello, Russ." "This is Carol." "Russ, come in." "He won't answer me." "[TIRES SCREECHING]" "CAROL [OVER RADIO]:" "Wait for us, Russ." "Major Huglin and I wanna talk to you." "[SIREN WAILING]" "Russ, please come back with us." "I'm sorry, but I have to do my job." "Let's go back." "ALIEN:" "Please come in." "Come on, let's get out of here." "No, wait." "With your friends, Dr. Marvin." "[SAUCER WHIRRING]" "I'm coming with you." "Please come in." "All of you." "I'm gonna phone headquarters." "You'd better do as they say." "[WHIRRING]" "We must be thousands of miles away from the Earth." "And in a matter of seconds." "ALIEN:" "You are many miles away from your planets, but not in a matter of seconds." "Listen to your watch, Dr. Marvin." "It's stopped." "It's supposed to be antimagnetic." "We generate a magnetic field stronger than the gravitational field on your Earth." "This is the principle by which we move through space." "We have adjusted the magnetic field to compensate for the normal loss of gravitational effect and atmospheric pressure." "But your watch hasn't stopped." "Feel your pulse." "I haven't any." "Neither have I." "We operate in a very different time reference." "You might say all this is happening between the ticks of your watch or the beats of your heart." "And that's why we couldn't decipher your message till it was too late." "It made it necessary for us to defend ourselves at Sky Hook." "Then you shot down our 11 rockets." "Why?" "At that time, we had no way of knowing they were only primitive observation posts." "We thought they might be weapons directed against us." "Who are you?" "Where are you from?" "Because of your leadership in exploring the field of outer space, we felt you could best understand that we are the survivors of a disintegrated solar system." "At this moment, the remainder of our fleet is circling your globe." "They're awaiting a signal to tell them where to land." "What do you want with me?" "Arrange for your world leaders to confer with us in the city of Washington." "They may not listen." "I'm only a scientist." "We will show you how important it is to convince your leaders." "In an instant of your time, we travel from beyond your moon to the surface of your Earth." "[GUNS FIRING]" "There were 300 men on that ship." "Speed, maneuverability and force." "With a weapon like that, why don't you just land and take over?" "To do that would cause worldwide panic." "Despite our power, the few of us would be busy indefinitely trying to suppress a large, hostile population." "In the end, we would be masters of a wrecked and hungry planet." "What makes you think you'll conquer us without a fight?" "We felt it would be best to meet with you so fighting could be avoided." "Such agreements have been made on Earth before." "How do you know so much about us?" "We have the means of accumulating information." "If you wish to convince yourself about our detailed knowledge, test us." "Any question." "What's the size of the Armed Forces of the United States?" "HANLEY'S VOICE:" "It is approximately 3 and one half million men." "Well, what team has won the most World Series?" "HANLEY'S VOICE:" "The New York Yankees." "Who was the first president of the United States?" "Washington." "I know that voice." "Who are you?" "John Hanley." "My father." "What have you done to him?" "ALIEN:" "You have been addressing General Hanley's mind, not General Hanley." "Look behind you." "Dad." "He will not recognize you." "He has been subjected to a machine we call an Infinitely Indexed Memory Bank." "We have transferred all knowledge from his brain to our machine." "Thus, we have available and readily accessible his total experience." "We can do this to as many as we like and learn whatever we must know." "Oh, stop it, please, stop it." "Put that gun away." "Don't look at that." "[HIGH-PITCHED BEEPING]" "This is the beginning of the process by which we read the brain for the Infinitely Indexed Memory Bank." "What have you done with my father?" "We will return him to you eventually, and the police officer too." "Will you arrange a conference for us?" "We will tell the authorities you want one." "That's all we can do." "You're not going to cooperate with these monsters?" "It may take weeks or months to set it up." "You will have two of your lunar days, or 56 days Earth time." "Let them kill us now and be done with it." "Please, Carol." "If our officials don't believe me, I can't be held responsible." "When you tell of the destroyer being sunk, refer to latitude 30 degrees, 20 minutes, longitude 45 degrees, 15 minutes." "They will believe you." "Well, suppose Major Huglin, my wife, myself were all hysterical, or hypnotized, or whatever you're thinking, that we never saw what these fiends did to General Hanley or the police officer." "How do you explain the destroyer?" "There's word that the Atlantic fleet has lost contact with a vessel in the area, but there's no confirmation of a sinking." "However, we're continuing to check." "ENRIGHT:" "You realize, of course, your contacting the saucer in the first place violated our instructions." "This itself may have placed the safety of the entire country in jeopardy." "Now that the damage is done, and assuming your story is verified, are you proposing that we meet with these...?" "These creatures, and yield to their demands?" "EDMUNDS:" "And why Washington?" "If they want to parley with the whole world, why do they choose the capital of the United States?" "They appear to be realists, and Washington is one of the centres of political power." "What about our atomic and hydrogen weapons?" "Wouldn't they be effective against these saucers?" "I'd like to answer that question, sir, if I may." "Our atomic weapons might be effective, if we could deliver them." "But to use nuclear power when they land would destroy our own cities." "And then we don't know whether they are vulnerable or not." "In answer to your question, Mr. Cassidy, I've learned a little about their mode of operation and I've got an idea for a new kind of weapon." "It's only a guess, of course." "A new weapon in less than 56 days?" "I have an idea for an ultrasonic gun." "With enough scientific and engineering help, we could construct a working model in a very short time." "Maybe it will work." "If not, we'll know soon enough." "And in the meantime, you'll be working on every other means of defense." "We have no choice but to use every conceivable weapon if they land." "Gentlemen, please." ""The destroyer Franklin Edison was sunk at latitude 30 degrees, 20 minutes, longitude 45 degrees, 15 minutes at approximately 0600."" "We are expected at the White House in an hour for a policy decision that will probably involve not only our own country but the entire world." "Whatever the decisions, you may be certain that you'll be given every assistance in testing your theory." "I suggest you start to work right away." "ENRIGHT:" "Major Huglin will make arrangements for whatever facilities you may require." "Thank you." "HUGLIN:" "Hello." "Hi." "How's it going?" "Well, instead of turning electric impulses into ultrahigh-frequency sound, we nearly burned the place up about an hour ago." "What?" "RUSS:" "All right, let's try it out on the cement block." "[WEAPON POWERING UP]" "[WEAPON PULSING]" "All the way." "[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]" "Well, there goes your generator." "But it worked, Russ." "It worked, didn't it?" "We know what hit Sky Hook." "What?" "Sound." "Sound?" "Ha-ha." "Having two small boys around the house, I know that noise doesn't do a man much good, but burn him up, knock his house down?" "The sound I had in mind was of a higher wave frequency than we've ever been able to produce." "Then you mean we've got the weapon?" "No, I'm afraid not." "With the best materials and circuits available, all we've succeeded in doing is pulverizing the end of a cement block." "The theory is beautiful." "We don't have the tools and the materials to make it work." "Maybe in 10 years, five, even two." "How many days left?" "Twenty-seven." "Russ, remember that report from Dr. Patek in New Delhi?" "He suggested a different approach." "Instead of attempting to duplicate the ultrasonic devices of our visitors, we try to interrupt their magnetic field by projecting a highly intermittent induced electrical field." "Now, suppose we take..." "Of course!" "We cut the ultrasonic wavelength into the circuit and knock them down like clay pigeons." "Not so fast, Russ..." "It can work." "It can work." "Here, major, get on the phone." "HUGLIN:" "Yes?" "We'll need the largest portable generator that Schenectady makes." "NARRATOR:" "From all parts of the globe, under top priority, came every facility and scientific help the governments of the world could furnish." "Dr. Marvin and his staff assembled these necessary materials in a concealed laboratory, where they were to translate a short experience in a craft from outer space into a formula, then plans, and, finally, a functioning reality." "It's only a hollow steel ball, but for our purposes it's a flying saucer." "You can start up the generator now." "[GENERATOR POWERING UP]" "The magnet does that, doesn't it?" "The magnetic attraction above is enough to counteract the pull of gravity from below." "Go ahead, it was your idea." "You be the first to try it." "My idea?" "Nonsense." "It was just as much yours, and Dr. Patek's in India, and a dozen other scientists' all over the world." "Come on." "[WEAPON PULSING]" "It works." "It works fine." "Russ, look." "[DEVICE WHIRRING]" "[EXPLOSION]" "What was it?" "The same kind of thing that's watched us since the beginning of the project." "Watched who?" "Russ and all the developments of the rocket program." "I always thought it was St. Elmo's Fire." "I'll have to change my mind about that." "Whatever it was, the saucers sent it down to find out what we're doing." "We have television." "They may have some totally different device that serves the same purpose." "We'd better get to Washington before they decide to drop in on us." "Major, give Cutting a hand and load that gun on the generator truck." "Right." "Never mind the files, professor." "I'll take the diagrams." "We ought to be in Washington in about an hour." "[###]" "I hope they haven't spotted us." "Let's pull away from the lab." "Come on." "If that saucer stays in firing range, we may be able to give the gun its first real test." "Saucer landing near Belmont Lab." "Major Huglin calling for aerial protection." "Over." "They're sending a bomber." "We ought to go on with those diagrams as quickly as we can." "I'll get them from Russ." "I'll go with you." "Fire up the generator." "We're gonna see if this gun really works." "What's the matter?" "I can't get this blasted thing started." "[GENERATOR STALLING]" "They're looking for us, all right." "[GENERATOR STALLING]" "Russ, getting you and the plans to Washington is more important than anything else." "She's right." "She's right, if this machine works." "If not, it doesn't make any difference." "[GENERATOR STARTS]" "[WEAPON POWERING UP]" "[WEAPON PULSING]" "It works." "If we just had a little more power." "Russ, let's go, please." "Before it's too late." "[###]" "Keep the gun circling overhead and the saucer will stay away." "Russ, be careful." "I think it's dead." "It's light as a feather." "Humanoid, and ancient." "These suits must serve as an electronic and mechanical outer skin to take the place of their atrophied flesh and muscles." "I must get this to a lab." "[AIRPLANE APPROACHING]" "Don't go out there." "Don't go out there." "[CAROL SOBBING]" "Oh." "Here are Dr. And Mrs. Marvin now." "Carol." "Russ." "We've been waiting for you." "Thanks." "This is Dr. Alberts." "How do you do?" "You know General Edmunds, Admiral Enright." "Certainly." "And Mrs. Marvin is General Hanley's daughter." "Mrs. Marvin." "Your father's death was a great loss to all of us." "Thank you." "Well, I see you've been busy." "Oh, we've been doing a little work." "Here, let me show you." "It didn't take too long to break this thing down." "These helmets have a language-translating device in them." "Mrs. Marvin, would you say something into the microphone?" "The quality of mercy Is not strained" "[DEVICE SPEAKS IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" "It droppeth as the gentle Rain from heaven" "[DEVICE SPEAKS IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" "Shakespeare wouldn't like it." "Professor Alberts said if we read the dictionary into the device, word by word, we'd have a translation of those words into their language." "By translating their communications into our words, we were able to decode them." "Professor Alberts requisitioned the electronic translator which his university had developed, and the results, to say the least, have been startling." "We've recorded a number of their messages on tape." "One of the messages appears to be a plan of attack." "ENRIGHT:" "The rest were operational routine." "ALBERTS:" "I'll show you how it worked." "Over here." ""We can expect trouble when Mercury is in perihelion."" "When will that be?" "It happens twice every three months." "The information is too vague to be of any use to us." "And "the sun in con Polaris"?" "That implies an orbital relation between the star Polaris and the sun." "We've never been able to figure it out." "The blanks probably refer to their time computation." "But these messages do involve the sun?" "Panama and the other observatories are watching it around the clock." "In the meantime, we have a newer and stronger version of our interference machine on the drawing boards at Aberdeen." "Has there been any determination of the weapon's useful range?" "There's a weakness." "Our instruments indicate that the potential effect drops off sharply after 1500 yards." "We'll have to hope that that's enough." "Well, maybe we'll be ready for them when they come." "Has anyone tried that helmet on?" "Yes, we have." "I think you'd be interested." "Try it." "It weighs only a few grams." "What's it made of?" "We don't know exactly." "Solidified electricity is the fancy name given to it by the Bureau of Standards." "It resists everything we used on it, including the most extreme temperatures." "RUSS:" "It makes me Superman, for one thing." "Yes, we know." "RUSS:" "I have a peculiar range of vision." "I can also hear a young man just outside that window, discussing a problem in advanced biology." "Carol, would you see if I'm right?" "MAN:" "When I kissed her good night, she slapped my face." "I said:" ""I didn't slap yours when you ordered a $4 steak for dinner."" "You know, just as we need glasses and hearing aids, these people need electronic amplification of all their senses, especially sight and hearing." "Does that suggest anything to you?" "They have their weaknesses." "When will we be ready?" "We'll need at least a couple of weeks." "ALIEN [OVER SPEAKER]:" "People of Earth, attention." "People of Earth, attention." "This is a voice speaking to you from thousands of miles beyond your planet." "This is a voice speaking to you EDMUNDS:" "Stop that." "From thousands of miles beyond your planet." "Look to your sun for a warning." "Following eruptions on your sun, there will be eight days and nights of meteorological convulsions..." "Turn it down." "They're arrogant enough, announcing their schedule in advance." "They're coming down to take over, they made that clear to us in the saucer." "They can move so fast and strike so hard, they ought to be able to sneak in and flatten us." "They expect to terrify us with a display of power." "They're contemptuous of our defenses." "If I'm right, they'll sail into Washington in broad daylight and expect us to capitulate when they land." "ALIEN:" "People of Earth, attention." "People of Earth, attention." "This is a voice speaking to you from thousands of miles beyond your planet." "Look to your sun for a warning." "Look to your sun for a warning." "It's coming over everywhere."

"NARRATOR:" "The first of man's vital communications to suffer were the shipping lanes and airways." "Then transport by rail and highway ground to a halt." "When the telephone and telegraph systems had failed and the radio networks were forced to bear the burden alone, they, too, succumbed to interference known to originate in an increasing disturbance in the sun." "The world, crippled by these events, waited for the first sign of an invasion from outer space." "Because of the atmospheric violence, it was not until the ninth day that an orderly evacuation of the city of Washington could be attempted."

"I think so." "I was at Androoha?" "s wedding." "The wedding..." "I remember." "You remember?" "Do you remember?" "I remember." "Know why I was watching you?" "Why?" "I can?" "t explain it." "Remember how we looked at each other?" "Us?" "Me at you, and you at me." "Maybe it was nothing." "What?" "Were you watching me or not?" "Masha!" "Masha, let?" "s go!" "I saw you looking."

"Over there, in the ravine..." "I had a supreme fuck." "Slut!" "What happened?" "He bit off her finger." "She needs to get to hospital, run!" "Run where?" "To Mitrich for a car, damn it!" "How?" "s Masha?" "Don?" "t just stand there, run!" "Get some vodka and a knife." "It?" "s OK, you?" "re OK." "It?" "s nothing." "You?" "re gonna be just fine." "Help me!" "Where?" "s the vodka?" "In the cupboard, stupid!" "What?" "s the knife for?" "Just bring them!" "Your daughter could die." "Hurry!" "That?" "s it." "I wanna go with mummy!" "I wanna go with mummy, please!" "Masha?" "s asleep." "I gave her some vodka." "Are you crazy?" "It?" "s a good painkiller." "Mitrich won?" "t come till tomorrow." "What do we do?" "Nothing." "I bandaged her up." "We?"

"That?" "s the way love goes." "One week after our wedding!" "What did you do?" "I didn?" "t want to look like a fool." "I didn?" "t disturb them." "I let them screw their hearts out!" "And now?" "Now?" "Absolutely nothing." "Let him fuck whoever he wants." "At least there was no fight." "She knows how to deal with her husband!" "Forget it." "If I catch you fooling around," "I?" "ll stab you in the chest with this fork." "Maybe it wasn?" "t Androoha." "I stood there, listened and saw for myself." "I can recognize my own husband doing it." "And now?" "What now?" "He can do what he wants." "I don?" "t care." "Pasha!" "Pasha!" "I?" "m back with booze, and he?" "s already gone." "What took you so long?" "Why?" "I run there and back." "Did I take long?" "Where is there?" "Who cares?" "Where did that shithead Pasha go?" "I go looking all over the steppes for vodka and he disappears?" "What a guy!" "All over where?" "Tell us, we?" "re interested." "No one wants to hear about where I went." "Let?" "s have a drink." "What do we drink to?" "Who cares?" "Let?" "s drink to the moon!" "Bottom?" "s up!" "Good evening." "Am I intruding?" "Not at all!" "How did you find me?" "I was passing by in a boat." "A boat?" "My motor boat." "I didn?" "t hear a boat." "The motor was off." "I never heard any motor." "I turned it off a while ago." "When?" "Eight kilometers back." "Pirate bit off Masha?" "s finger." "Masha?" "s your daughter, right?" "Who?" "s Pirate?" "He?" "s lying right here." "How did he die?" "My husband shot him." "What will you do now?" "I don?" "t know." "I should go." "My husband will be up soon." "He?" "s asleep?" "Doesn?" "t he worry about you?" "He?" "s been sober for two years, But he got drunk yesterday." "And your daughter?" "She needs to be taken to the hospital." "What next?" "I don?" "t know." "Things will work out." "Think so?" "You?" "ll be fine." "And you?" "I don?" "t know." "I must go." "Leave the shovel." "You can get it later." "They left!" "They left!" "Where?" "Who?" "Granma and Grandpa." "And where?" "s my Masha?" "They took her to the hospital last night." "In Granpa?" "s car." "But Grandpa was away." "He came back last night." "Why?" "Her hand hurt too much." "She even threw up." "They had to go without you." "Is Uncle Valery with them?" "No." "He was passed out drunk." "I couldn?" "t wake him." "He?" "s lying on your kitchen floor." "And Grandma and Grandpa..." "I'm here..." "Wait." "Just a second." "I?" "ll take care of everything." "Let?" "s go to the hospital." "Vera, wait!" "Why do you look so odd?" "What?" "Why do you look so odd?" "I can?" "t hear you." "Get in the boat." "I gave her a shot for now." "Let?" "s wait and see." "If she gets worse tomorrow, we?" "ll transfer her to Volgograd." "Do you have a car?" "Yes." "Did they go home?" "I don?" "t know." "Your neighbors?" "Yes." "We missed them." "Go home then." "They are surely there." "Live far away?" "Three hours." "Two." "Tomorrow we?" "ll give her another shot." "If she gets worse, we?" "ll transfer her to Volgograd." "I think she?" "ll be OK." "Too bad about the finger." "What about it?" "Don?" "t you know?" "Yes..." "The dog bit it off." "End of the road!" "No water." "We?" "re stuck." "Someone will pass by." "Nobody ever comes this way." "Let?" "s go." "How?" "On foot." "And the car?" "We?" "ll get it later." "What the hell!" "Your house?" "Neighbors." "And the fire department?" "What for?" "It takes 3 hours to get there." "Don?" "t you have a phone?" "No phones here." "What if something happens, if someone is hurt?" "We don?" "t have a phone." "Did someone die in the fire?" "There was no one there, I feel it." "Where are the owners?" "They?" "re OK, I feel it." "Looks like rain." "Our fireman is in the sky." "Are you afraid of thunder?" "No." "What?" "s wrong then?" "I?" "m scared." "Let?" "s go." "My boat?" "s not far from here." "We?" "ll go down the river." "Where will you go after?" "I won?" "t go anywhere." "We?" "ll get your daughter and we?" "ll go to my house." "For good." "Don?" "t be afraid." "Wait." "I?" "m tired." "Let?" "s rest for five minutes." "I?" "ll talk to your husband." "Don?" "t be afraid." "I?" "m not afraid of my husband." "I?" "m just scared in general." "Or maybe I?" "m not scared." "I?" "m just confused." "I need to think, to understand what?" "s going on." "I know." "I?" "m confused too." "Better not think about it." "Thinking will only make it worse." "Let?" "s go." "Wait." "Let?" "s sit for another minute." "Don?" "t worry about your husband." "I?" "ll kill him if necessary." "Where to next?" "Into those woods..." "There?" "s a house and a boat." "We?" "ll take the boat." "We?" "ll go down the Don River." "We?" "ll be at your place in two hours." "Whose house is it?" "Mine." "I haven?" "t been there in a week." "I?" "ll check on it when we?" "re there." "Here." "You can?" "t go around looking like that." "Back there I had a vision..." "Everything was grey." "Everything." "All covered, in grey river mud." "Houses, trees, a village and fences.." "And there were cows." "They were covered in grey mud too." "They walked down the path... all grey, covered in mud." "I was walking towards them." "And the tree?" "The tree had vanished." "It was a horrible scene." "Houses, village... all covered in grey river mud..." "Like after a big flood."

"* *" "Mmm." "What's this for?" "Because I love you." "And because this is my engagement party." "Now, remember, you promised-- no talking about mine business tonight." "Promise?" "I promise." "(doorbell rings)" "(chuckling)" "Well, here he is." "How did you ever pry him away?" "It wasn't too hard to do." "Well, I told him if he didn't come to this party," "I'd refuse to be best man and marry you myself." "I didn't want to take that chance." "(chuckling)" "Forget about being superintendent for one night, Gil." "The mine will run all right without you." "I sent the night shift back to work on the third level." "You what?" "I told you we couldn't work the third level without new timbering." "Dad, you promised no mine talk." "(whistle blowing)" "Gil, cave in, third level." "The whole shift is trapped." "(theme song playing)" "All right, everybody, stand back!" "Give us room!" "My boy." "Where's my boy?" "It's all right, Mary." "I'll find him." "Mr. Holloway, you promised us new safety timbering." "I'm doing all I can." "Come on, dear." "You ought to go home." "It's all right." "He'll be all right." "I know it." "You said that third level wasn't safe, but you sent the shift in anyway." "You said yourself it wasn't safe!" "Get out of the way, Tregallis." "You used to be one of us." "Now you're marrying Holloway's daughter." "Gil's doing everything he can, Tregallis." "When?" "Like always?" "When it's too late?" "My kid brother's down there." "Now, you get out of my way, Cartwright." "(bell ringing)" "All right, stand back." "It's coming up now." "Give us room." "There's two of them." "Move on back." "It's Pat!" "Pat!" "All right, bring him on out." "(woman crying)" "Pat, oh, thank God you're here." "East slope." "Third level." "Every timber seemed to buckle at once as they set off a blast above us." "Same as last week." "Every time it's the same thing." "Move out of the way." "Gil, you're not going down there, are you?" "If I'd stayed down there where I belong, this might not have happened." "Don't let what Tregallis said get under your hide." "If my kid brother was trapped down there," "I'd think of something worse to say than Tregallis said." "Adam, you don't have to come down with me." "It's my timber you're using, isn't it?" "All right, Bud, let her go." "(bell dings)" "(sighing)" "How do they stand it time after time?" "It's like living on top of a powder keg, waiting for that disaster whistle to blow." "That's part of mining, Helene." "Enter it on the report." "Make sure each of the widows gets the usual box of groceries." "Yes, sir." "A box of groceries in exchange for a dead husband." "That's company policy." "It's a terrible thing." "I'm sorry this had to happen tonight and spoil your party, Helene." "(sighs)" "Helene, this is ridiculous." "It's 2:00 o'clock in the morning." "Let's go home and get some sleep." "Daddy, those women won't sleep tonight." "They each have a man down there, and so do I." "(bell clangs)" "Gil." "Oh." "Oh, Girl, are you all right?" "I'm all right." "Do you want to tell them?" "Tell them what?" "That there's nobody else coming up out of there." "Not tonight." "Not ever." "(crying and indistinct chatter)" "How soon can you give me a report?" "It will be on your desk." "Cold black figures against a white piece of paper." "Five dead, two dying, five missing, 14 injured." "But no slow-up in production," "Mr. Holloway." "Does that make you happy?" "Stop it, Gil." "I'm sick of it!" "Gil, you shouldn't have gone down there." "No, that's right." "I should have stayed at the party." "I'm a superintendent now, and the men I used to work with aren't human beings anymore." "Aren't you being a little melodramatic?" "Am I?" "You..." "You should have been down there with us." "That was melodramatic, too." "I've had my share of mine disasters." "But you don't have to face those men every day, or those women." "I do." "It's not my job to manage the men." "Not your job?" "Or haven't you got the guts to stand up to them and order them into a mine that isn't safe enough for a rat?" "The Ophir is as safe as any mine on the Comstock." "That's saying a lot, isn't it?" "!" "Gil, please." "What were you doing down there?" "I was checking the timbering." "I've got a man hired to do that." "I know." "Philip Diedeshiemer." "I was hoping to talk with him." "I run the Ophir mine, Adam." "You sell me timber for that mine." "It's worked out very well for both of us." "Suppose we keep it that way?" "Would you like a brandy?" "(sighs)" "You must be tired, Helene." "Come over here." "Sit down." "Close to me a minute." "(sighs)" "I want to talk to you about Gil." "Now, I'm as fond of Gil as you are." "If I didn't think he'd make you a good husband," "I'd have fired him instead of promoting him." "Gil's a superintendent now." "He doesn't have to go underground anymore." "Daddy... those men are his friends." "You-You can't expect him to forget that." "I had to forget it." "It's a lesson I had to learn." "Stay on your own level." "That's my job, and I have to do it." "Don't you think I have bosses?" "My bosses have no faces." "No hearts, no souls." "But they've got a stock certificate, and if I get soft or sentimental, they use it as a club to beat my brains out." "(sighs)" "(sighs)" "I fought a long time to get what I've got." "And I'll fight to keep it." "I believe Gil was thinking about preventing another accident, not about your stockholders." "Honey, believe me, it gets pretty lonely up here on this level." "The higher a man stands, the farther he can see." "I have to do what I think's best for the most people." "Try to understand that." "I am trying to understand it, Dad." "Well, good morning." "How'd you get into town so early?" "I yanked him out of bed, that's why." "(laughter)" "Coffee?" "No, thanks." "Gil, you still think it'd be worthwhile for me to talk to Diedeshiemer?" "My future father-in-law doesn't seem to think so, but I still do." "That's why Holloway likes you." "You stand up to him." "Hey, who's gonna pay for this?" "I don't know... and I'm too sleepy to try and figure it out." "I can't figure out who's going to pay for it on an empty stomach." "Better bring me another steak." "Mr. Fenton, Mr. Fenton." "Look, I, uh, want to talk to you." "What is it, Tregallis?" "Well, last night my kid brother was down in the mine." "I should have known he'd be all right." "Well, I said things I shouldn't have." "It's all right, Tregallis, I understand." "Well, I-I wouldn't want to lose my job or anything like that, you know?" "You won't, not over this." "Thanks." "Gil?" "Same old Gil." "You ain't changed." "A-A-And listen, all this talk about shutting down the mine for safety tests and all that-- don't you do it, Gil." "Long as there's a hole in the ground, me and the boys will go down into it." "We don't want to lose no day's pay 'cause somebody's afraid of getting a rock on top of the head." "And Mr. Cartwright, I don't blame you for poking me in the whiskers, but next time, don't do it so hard." "Have you seen Philip Diedeshiemer?" "The Dutchman?" "I don't understand that one." "He's the only man I ever knew who could look a hole straight through you without even seeing you." "Well, has he been around?" "He's been down in that hole since ten minutes after you left last night." "Either he comes up for air pretty soon or he's gonna find nobody here to work this hoist when he rings that bell." "Will you stay around for a little while?" "Take care of this for me, will you, Casey?" "HELENE:" "Gil." "Oh, Gil, I've been looking all over for you." "Not now, dear." "Adam and I want to go down below and look around for a minute." "If it were another woman I could face it, but to have a silver mine for a romantic rival... (chuckles) Hey-hey..." "Oh, Gil, please be careful." "If anything happened to you..." "Off you go." "All right, let 'er go!" "(rumbling) Good, sound timbering, Gil." "But it just isn't holding." "(rumbling, crashing)" "Philip!" "Philip Diedeshiemer!" "(creaking)" "It is not usually so, but here in these mines there's such great variance of temperatures." "There's a constant shrinking and expanding of the earth itself." "When I took my pick and loosened this hanging wall behind the uprights, so... (coughs) You caved this in deliberately?" "You might have been killed, man." "So..." "The important thing is five men were killed last night." "You see, Gil, there's an unusual side pressure against these uprights." "And without tower braces to prevent side motion..." "Philip, this is Adam Cartwright." "Adam, Philip Diedeshiemer." "Mr. Cartwright." "Hadn't you better take some time off?" "Get some rest." "Have something to eat." "Oh, the widows of those men, they have no appetite this morning, Gil." "Neither have I." "You mention tower bracing, Mr. Cartwright." "You, perhaps, worked in construction, no?" "Well, I supply the timber for the mine." "My father and I and my brothers, we have a ranch." "And what a ranch, Philip." "The Ponderosa, a thousand square miles of it." "And wait till you see the house." "Adam designed and built it to last a hundred years." "Oh?" "You must see it." "Yeah, yeah." "(creaking)" "There are so many things in your beautiful country that I must see." "But how can I look at beauty when men are dying?" "(creaking)" "Given time as one of the factors, there is no problem in engineering that cannot be solved." "Mr. Diedeshiemer, Gil's told me a great deal about you, and..." "Well, I don't mean to be presumptuous, but if you'd care to have me go over your stress calculations with you..." "What I mean, is that, uh, if you'd like to use me as a sounding board, I've kept up with my mathematics." "It would mean a great deal to me to have someone to talk with." "Someone who understood the engineering problem." "Well, I'd be honored, Mr. Diedeshiemer." "Well, then you call me "Philip," huh?" "So we do not waste time." "(creaking)" "(rumbling)" "(creaking, rumbling grows louder)" "(rumbling)" "Come in here with your picks, boys." "(creaking)" "(grunts)" "(coughing)" "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "Where's Gil?" "He was right behind us." "Can you see him?" "No." "(coughs)" "Gil?" "Gil, can you hear me?" "!" "(coughs)" "Well, what do we do now?" "We wait." "Just as thousands before us have waited." "And we think of many things." "That is the final refuge of a man, when he's... completely alone." "He can think." "Get out of the way!" "Get out of the way!" "My brother's down there!" "Hoss." "I just heard about it, Miss Helene." "Don't worry none." "Gil's going to be all right, ma'am." "(cries) Please don't do that, ma'am." "Everything's going to be all right." "Sorry, Mr. Cartwright." "I have orders to let no outsiders go down." "Well, your orders just changed." "Let 'er go, Bo!" "(bell dings)" "TREGALLIS:" "Wait a minute, boys." "Wait a minute." "(faint knocking)" "Adam, huh." "Answer them." "(faint knocking, creaking)" "Get in there, boys, with your shovels." "Get the loose stuff out." "What are you thinking about now?" "I was thinking that perhaps after today... we will not let a mine fall on our heads again." "(chuckling, creaking)" "I hope not." "Well, there is a simple way." "All we have to do is... never again go into a mine." "So many people make that decision in life." "So very many... (creaking)" "No use, boys." "May as well give up." "They don't answer the signal no more." "(footsteps approaching)" "They're back of that wall of rock, but we're too late." "They don't answer anymore." "Give me that shovel." "Okay, bud, okay." "That's good." "Give me some light." "Hi, Adam." "It's about time you got here." "Gil's back there somewhere." "Adam..." "There ain't nothing back there but 500 ton of rock." "(Hoss grunting, mine creaking)" "All right, let 'er down." "How are you, Mr. Diedeshiemer?" "All right, Phil, see if you can make it." "Got him, Hoss?" "Yeah, I got him." "Easy, easy." "You might have a broken bone." "There's one of 'em, boys." "Let's get him." "Take him out, boys." "Here we are." "You all right?" "Yeah, come on." "MAN:" "Here they come." "(indistinct chatter)" "Gil!" "Where's Gil?" "Miss Helene, I..." "I want to talk to you." "Oh, that Gil." "He's always the first one down and the last one up." "I suppose he's still down there looking around." "That's what it is, Hoss, isn't it?" "Ma'am, let me take you home." "Oh, no." "No, I've, I've got to wait here for Gil." "He promised me nothing would happen to him." "He promised me!" "Oh, Hoss, oh, Hoss, tell me nothing's happened." "Ma'am, I..." "I can't lie to you." "I, I can't make it no easier on you." "Then I've got to go down." "I've got to see him." "Don't you understand?" "I've got to see him!" "I've got to see him!" "Oh, Gil..." "(cries):" "Oh..." "Gil..." "Where's Gil?" "He's still down there." "Well, go get him, Adam." "I want to talk to him." "What I'm trying to tell you is..." "What he means is..." "Gil is dead, Daddy." "What?" "That's the word he was looking for, "dead."" "But it's a dirty word and no one wants to say it." "Not here in this house." "Not on this level." "The stockholders might hear." "Dead is a word for, for men who work down in the ground, not for people like us." "We, we can't talk about a man who's buried under 50 tons of rock, but he's dead just the same!" "Oh, Daddy!" "Helene." "(Helene sobs)" "I'll give her a sedative." "You come along." "You, too." "Gil, dead?" "Well, I'll have to hire a new superintendent." "Mr. Holloway... if that's the first thing you thought about," "I feel real sorry for you." "Well, I guess that should about do it." "ADAM:" "Thanks, doc." "Mr. Diedeshiemer?" "I told you to get some rest." "Now, you're pushing yourself much too far." "Would you rest, doctor, if there were a plague afoot and somewhere in that little black bag of yours, there was a pill you knew could cure it?" "Would you rest until you had found that pill?" "Well, my head is like your little black bag." "Somewhere inside it, is a pill of information, long forgotten-- a solution to these mine disasters." "I have to find that pill, doctor!" "Well, you better slow down or I won't be responsible." "Every man is responsible to himself, doctor." "Does your head feel good enough to use?" "Let's get to work." "Now..." "Mr. Diedeshiemer, I've been thinking..." "Are you an engineer?" "Well, no, but..." "Then I'm not in the least interested in what you've been thinking." "Please go." "Now, wait a minute!" "This is my home!" "At the moment, it is my office, and I want no interruptions." "Please." "Now..." "So we have..." "Why ain't you at work?" "Mr. Holloway, I refuse to send those men back down." "You "refuse"?" "I believe the same as Gil." "Close down a few days." "Get a chance to make some proper tests and experiments." "Casey, you're fired." "What?" "I said, "You're fired."" "Tregallis?" "(door opens)" "Can you handle Casey's job?" "(door closes)" "Mr. Holloway..." "I never did want to see you shut down." "Like I said to Gil last time I talked to him," ""I can get that shift back to work."" "See that you do." "Another thing I'd do, Mr. Holloway." "I'd order that Dutchman to stay away from the men." "He wastes an awful lot of time." "I'd tell him to take care of his own work." "Leave our boys alone." "You're in charge." "Go tell him." "He's right upstairs." "That's the problem, Adam, and it is increasing every day." "The veins of silver grow wider the deeper they go." "I know and the U-bracing that we use in a narrow stope becomes worthless in a 65-foot wide gallery." "And it is not only the overhead pressure, Adam." "There's a constant side pressure as well." "I want to talk to you, Dutchman." "Vertical bracing and cap pieces certainly, but it would be standing so thick a man couldn't get through." "I'm in charge now." "We are very busy." "And even the tower bracing you suggested..." "Listen to me when I'm talking to you!" "You're going to take orders, just like the rest of the men!" "But how are you going to get 65-foot timbers down a mine shaft?" "And I want you to stay away from the men, hear me?" "They're down there to work, not to visit with you." "And there's another thing, Dutchman..." "I believe in a little formality." "Now, where were we?" "Oh, yeah..." "Miss Helene?" "Miss Helene..." "I know you're sorry." "That's not exactly what I was going to say, ma'am." "Folks mean well when they say that they're sorry." "It's like when my mama was still alive." "I remember I used to mash my finger and she'd kiss it and tell me the pain was all gone." "It wasn't really." "It's just that now when I try to remember the pain, all I can remember is my mama kissing it away." "So I smile bravely and lift my head... and there never was a Gil Fenton in my life." "No." "No, you..." "You can sometimes forget the pain, but... you can't ever forget the love." "Never." "There's gonna always be a Gil Fenton in your life." "I remember" "I was in love once with a girl." "As much in love as a man can be, I reckon." "I guess that sounds a little funny coming from me, don't it?" "Oh, no, it doesn't, Hoss." "She died." "I know that my pa and Adam and Little Joe were sorry." "But that just wasn't enough." "Not right then, it wasn't." "What did you do?" "I talked to God." "He told me I was just going to have to keep on living." "May I have permission to enter your mine, Mr. Tregallis?" "All right." "Go ahead." "Diedeshiemer!" "Adam told me to find you and tell you that, that number six had shifted." "And that the tower braces were ten degrees out of plumb, whatever that means." "It means, Hoss, that we now know one more thing that will not work." "It means, also, that we must still find the one thing that will work." "Oh, he told me I ought to talk you into getting some rest, too." "(groans):" "Well, he may have said it, but he didn't mean for me to do it." "But it would be good." "So good." "Stretch out for a while..." "Close my eyes against the sun and feel the life of the earth beneath me." "But I would feel only the death, Hoss." "Only the death." "You feel all right, Mr. Diedeshiemer?" ""All right"?" "I don't know." "That is a relative question, no?" "I know only that my head is so full of vertical braces and cross braces and cap pieces and stulls and timbers, that my brain is like a bee swarm of unrelated facts, buzzing and churning, and working within a hive." "A honeycomb..." "A honeycomb!" "Sir?" "I have it, Hoss!" "I have it!" "You got what?" "Go get me some one-inch boards, soft pine that I can cut with a jackknife." "Go bring them to my room." "I go get Adam." "Why did I not see this, Adam?" "Each surface bearing on the other." "The ratio of strength of each side of a honeycomb to the combined weight of the honey." "Gently now." "Gently." "Come." "Thank you, Hoss." "Now what in the blazes?" "The solution, Mr. Holloway." "The solution to every cave-in and slippage problem in the Comstock mines." "Hoss, please." "Clean place on the table." "Thank you." "Miss Helene, look here what Mr. Diedeshiemer and Adam built." "Show 'em how it works, Mr. Diedeshiemer." "You mean that's a system of mine bracing?" "It's the most perfect system I've ever seen in my whole life." "Are you such an expert?" "No, but Mr. Diedeshiemer is." "Philip, why don't you explain the principle?" "You see, Mr. Holloway..." "I can see the principle." "A square, open-sided, tower-bracing box, bearing equal pressure from all angles." "Mm-hmm, and I suppose as the stope is dug wider, you propose to add another box." "You can add them above, too." "You can even build a floor in it." "Very interesting, gentlemen." "And very expensive." "We can't use it." "Dad... aren't you even going to consider it?" "But look at it, honey." "It's a child's toy, a plaything of an impractical dreamer." "You didn't even give them a chance." "A chance to what?" "Play with toys while I've got a mine to run?" "You think I'm going to rip out the timbering" "I've got in that mine to try some crazy, new idea?" "But the timbering system you have is no good." "We've been operating successfully with it for a long time now." "Can't you understand I've got stockholders to think about?" "Oh, yes, I understand." "You and your faceless stockholders." "Well, I have somebody to think about, too." "Only he had a face and a body and arms to hold me with." "And he's buried under 50 tons of rock, and you put him there!" "Helene!" "Wait a minute." "Where are you going?" "Where do the rest of the mine widows go?" "If you'd only listen to me." "I'm through listening to you, Father." "And don't forget to send me my box of groceries." "(knocking at door) Oh." "We've been looking for you." "Oh, I've been looking for myself, Adam." "Yeah, this new model's coming along great." "Well, I have created a good thing." "But that is all it is-- a thing, a handful of smoke." "What good is it to write a book, if nobody reads it?" "Or to compose a song, if nobody ever sings it?" "Or to invent a new way of timbering a mine, if it is not used?" "Don't you worry." "It'll be used, all right." "PHILIP:" "When?" "When?" "!" "When another hundred men have died needlessly?" "It's such a radical departure from anything we've done before." "Just take time to sell it to anyone." "Only the dead have time to wait, Adam." "And we are concerned with the living." "Well, the Ophir isn't the only mine on the Comstock." "There's the, uh, Yellow Jacket," "Gould and Curry, and the Mexican." "We know the owners." "We've sold timber to all of them." "All we have to do is sell one of them the idea." "Look, I am not a fishmonger, Adam, hawking a product on the streets." "Well, then you let me worry about that end of it." "You just finish this new model." "Looks pretty elaborate." "Oh, it's quite simple, really." "A series of cribs, each surface bearing on the other." "Now, that takes care of your side motion, which has been one of your big problems." "Now, also, you see, with the wide veins that you're starting to hit, you can timber as you stope in merely by adding another crib." "Now, the same holds true with working up above or down below, which is an impossibility with your present timbering." "Now, here, you could have an ore shoot running diagonally right up here through the sets." "Any idea of the cost?" "Well, really hadn't gone into it." "I think Mr. Diedeshiemer was more concerned with safety rather than cost." "Yeah, I'd heard that he was pretty much of a dreamer." "Well, thanks for showing it to us, Adam." "Hey!" "Ain't you even going to let him finish telling you about it?" "Oh, I've seen enough to recognize the fact that the cost would be prohibitive." "I'm afraid you'll have to figure out some other way of selling timber, Adam." "You mean to tell me you think that's all Adam and Mr. Diedeshiemer have been doing day and night, is figuring out another way to sell timber?" "Oh, stay out of it, Hoss." "I won't stay out of it." "I don't like what this woodpecker's saying to you." "Oh, really, now." "We don't have to pretend with each other." "We're in the mining business to make money and you should be able to understand that." "No Cartwright ever made a move unless there was a dollar in it for him someplace." "Mister, you're the biggest flannel-mouth liar on the Comstock." "Do you know who I am?" "I sure do." "And you do, too, 'cause I just got through telling you." "My brother isn't the world's finest diplomat, but he's managed to express my own feelings pretty accurately." "Well..." "It might work." "Sure, but the system we're using now can be put in for one tenth the cost." "Why did Holloway ever hire that Dutchman in the first place?" "Oh, now, don't sell Holloway short." "He hires this safety engineer and the crusaders leave him alone." "I know, but now he's come up with this fantastic idea..." "You don't find Holloway using it, do you?" "Well, is there anybody else we can talk to, Adam?" "No, that's about all of them." "Besides I'm tired of talking." "You ain't gonna give up, are you?" "No, I said, "I'm tired of talking."" "Well, what are we going to do?" "Well, what do the Cartwrights always do when it comes right down to it?" "We'll do it ourselves." "You mean we're going to make a big one of these things and stick it down in old Holloway's mine without even telling him about it?" "Why tell him?" "He'll know it's there when he sees it tomorrow." ""Tomorrow"?" "I said "tomorrow."" "Adam, I heard you and Mr. Diedeshiemer talking and them timbers are big; they got to be milled and cut." "How you gonna do all that by tomorrow?" "Well, now, we own a sawmill, don't we?" "Now, we'll just give this job to our younger brother and tell him it's impossible to do." "(chuckles):" "Yeah, that ought to do it." ""We'll get started first thing in the morning," that's what old Adam said." "And we will, too." "You wait and see." "When my pa and Adam and my younger brother, Little Joe, put their head to something, it gets done." "You're very proud of your family, aren't you, Hoss?" "Yes, sir, I sure am." "Oh, it's a fine thing to have a strong family." "Yes, sir." "Pa's always kept us mighty close together." "You see, we're just half brothers." "Oh?" "Yes, sir." "My pa has had a terrible lot of tragedy in his life." ""Tragedy." Yeah." "But this has made of him a finer man." "And it's helped draw you all closer together as a family, no?" "Yes, sir." "I reckon it has." "The girl, Helene..." "You must try to make her see this." "Hoss, right now, she sees only her own loss." "But nothing is lost, ever." "And nothing is ever destroyed." "The miners who were killed because of improper timbering in these mines, they have found a new method of timbering, Hoss." "I did not do it, they did." "I am only the instrument that carried out the plan, no more than that." "Mr. Diedeshiemer, folks are going to remember you for an awful long time." "Miss Helene." "Sit down, Miss Holloway." "Please." "What's the matter?" ""Matter"?" "I've been walking around, looking into the faces of women who have lost their husbands in the mines." "I've been searching their eyes, wondering if they know my father is a murderer." "Ma'am, you shouldn't ought to talk like that." "Not about your own pa." "No." "Maybe he ain't done all he could do, but at least he's tried." "He hired Mr. Diedeshiemer." "But he hasn't let him do anything." "And he won't." "Well, it don't really make no difference if he don't." "'Cause we're gonna do it anyhow." "What do you mean?" "Pa and Adam and Little Joe are up there in the hills right now at the sawmill milling the timber we're going to put down that mine, so Mr. Diedeshiemer here can make the test he wants to make." "Does my father know about this?" "Well, I..." "I reckon Adam sort of forgot to tell him." "Do you really think that my father and the other mine owners would let you do this?" "Oh, ma'am, we ain't gonna charge him for it." "Besides, how they gonna stop us?" "Stop you?" "Hoss, don't you understand?" "They can hire 50 men with clubs to stop you if they want to." "What'd they want to do a thing like that for?" "I'm afraid this does go much further than, uh, a test installation, Hoss." "Once it's in there, and the men see it, they won't be satisfied with any other system of timbering." "Mr. Diedeshiemer, do you want that timber down there in that mine?" "(sighs)" "Yeah, very much, Hoss." "Well, we're gonna put it down there for you." "And if any of them fellas try to stop us, well, I..." "I reckon that'll be my business." "(indistinct chatter)" "I didn't really think they'd do it." "I reckon you must know 'em better than I do." "I don't see my father with them." "There's a rumor around that you plan to do some special timbering in Mr. Holloway's mine." "Well, this is one time that a rumor's correct." "You Cartwrights don't own this mine." "You've got no business here." "Now, you don't own this mine, either, mister." "Why don't you let Mr. Holloway tell me?" "We haven't been able to find Mr. Holloway, but his interests are ours, and we're here to see that they're protected." "Take him off there." "(grunting)" "All right, break this up!" "I'm still in charge here!" "Andrew!" "We couldn't find you." "We came here to protect your interests." "I can take care of my own interest." "And that's just what I've been doing." "But they were planning to build some of those monkey cages down in your mine." "I'm aware of what they were planning to do." "I'm helping them to do it." "Why, Andrew, have you lost your senses?" "No, I haven't lost my senses." "I've just found them." "How long since any of you have been down in one of your mines?" "(owners grumbling) Well, maybe you should, gentlemen." "I just did and I don't like what I saw." "I don't know if Mr. Diedeshiemer's system of timbering will work or not, but he's going to get a chance to try it." "(owners grumbling)" "Adam and the other boys will unload that lumber right where you want it." "If you need me, well, just holler." "Fine." "Exactly." "This is fine." "You go now, huh?" "Thank you." "Are you satisfied, Philip?" "It is still an impractical man's dream, Adam." "An invention is never completed until it is put to the test of serving the purpose for which it was designed." "Well, you wait for me up above." "Huh?" "I would like to stay here and look at this for awhile." "Oh, no, you don't." "What's the matter?" "I found your bag... with the powder;" "you didn't do a good job of hiding it." "It's too dangerous, Adam." "I'm game if you are." "I don't want any more men killed." "Neither do I." "But I would like to be with you." "Sort of a promise I made to Gil." "All right." "We'll see this thing through together." "This is good." "Now, for the final test." "Why, you're wasting our time, Holloway." "You better take a good look at it, because you're going to see a lot of this kind of timbering from now on." "Not in my mine, you won't." "Well... this is it." "Good luck, Philip." "(fuse fizzing)" "Come." "Mr. Holloway, you should not be here." "It's still my mine, and these gentlemen are a little hard to convince." "You don't understand." "We're making a test." "Don't test it too hard or your monkey cage will fall down on your head." "I hope not, gentlemen." "I believe not." "But we will soon know." "We've set a blast to test it." "(chuckles)" "I can imagine your being down here with a blast about to go off." "Your workmen do it every day, don't they?" "Oh, yes, but with..." "With your present system of timbering." "Well, you're standing under some of it now." "You may stay here if you feel safer." "I prefer to stay over here." "So do I." "Why, you fool, we'll all be killed!" "Boys, the old timbering is right behind you." "Go ahead and stay under it." "ADAM:" "You'd better hurry." "(men coughing)" "Well, I think this held up rather well, don't you, gentlemen?" "Very impressive." "But I still won't hold still for it." "And why not?" "Isn't it pretty obvious?" "This man undoubtedly has a patent on his timbering system, and plans to rob us blind collecting royalties." "(crowd murmuring)" "I am afraid I'm not so wise as you." "I do not know the dollar and cent worth of a human life." "I only know it is very dear." "I have no patent, no desire to charge royalty." "If my invention saves human lives, surely that is payment enough for any man." "Wait a moment, Philip." "Ladies and gentlemen, we have just made a practical test of the new Diedeshiemer system of timbering." "Any of these gentlemen here can attest to the fact that it was a complete success." "(cheering and applause)" "I'm closing the Ophir till it's completely re-timbered with the Diedeshiemer square sets." "Every man will be paid his regular wages while the work goes on." "(cheering and applause)" "Ladies and gentlemen." "Here's the man who's put an end to all the mine cave-ins on the Comstock," "Mr. Philip Diedeshiemer." "(cheering and applause)" "Every mine owner will have to put in square sets now, you watch." "This whole town will be sitting on one, big honeycomb." "(laughter)" "It's a great thing you've done, Philip." "We did it together." "Listen, I'm hungry." "Ain't you starved?" "On the contrary, Hoss." "Right now, I feel..." "I feel very full." "Mr. Diedeshiemer, I told you once that folks was gonna remember you for a awful long time." "And they would, too, if they could remember your name, but it's so dang-blasted hard to pronounce." "Well, don't worry about that, Hoss." "Names are never very important." "Anyway, it's easier to pronounce "The Dutchman."" "Come on, let's get some supper, huh?"

"Dude, who the hell put all these dirty dishes in my bed?" "Probably the same person who couldn't find a clean bowl, and is being forced to eat his cereal out of a box!" "Hey, that's a really good idea." "Do we have another box?" "Okay, people, fair warning:" "If you don't want it chewed up, ripped up or peed on," "I suggest you move it to higher ground." "Oh, cool." "Is grandma coming over?" "No." "Lola, Megan's dog." "I volunteered to watch her while she's out of town." "Ben, that dog hates you." "Well, so did Megan before she got to know me." "Seriously, I gotta figure out a way to get through to that dog." "If I don't, I'm gonna be the one begging strangers to scratch my belly." "Ben, no." "You can't possibly bring one more living thing into this apartment." "If you haven't noticed, we already have a baby and a giant." "Look, I really feel like you're starting to take advantage of me." "That is not true." "Hey, can you change Emma real quick?" " Thanks." " Oh, my god." "There they are!" "Ha ha!" "My two favorite girlfriends." "Oh, we are gonna have so much fun together." "That is what I was just saying to Lola." "Here." "Are you sure you two are gonna be okay together?" "Of course." "How could we not?" "Aw, come here." "Yeah, we love each other, don't we, Lola?" "Please don't eat me." "Hold my hand, Emma." "I'm scared." "Quit your whining, Wheeler." "Bonnie's beauty bar guarantees that you are going to love your new haircut." "Oops." "Not gonna love that." "Just..." "That's it!" "We're done here." "Oh, hey, Mrs. Wheeler." "Quick question:" "Was Danny born messy or is he just honing his skills here?" "Sadly, he came out that way." "I actually stopped going into his bedroom after he turned 14." "For multiple reasons." "When we finally moved out, I just tossed a match in there and let the insurance company deal with it." "Stay, Lola, stay!" "No!" "Ow!" "I just don't get it!" "I play with her, nuzzle her, rub her." "Why won't she love me?" "Clearly, you've never been married." "Hey, your hairy little lady friend kept me up half the night whining and yapping." "I could hear her all the way over at my place." "And my blender was on full tilt for margarita Monday." "Mom, it's Thursday." "Don't judge me." "Whoo!" "All right." "Big news, people." "So I have an interview tomorrow at my old law firm." "I'm getting my job back." " Nice!" " Nice!" "Wait, the firm that fired you for not passing the bar?" "That is completely..." "Not totally false." "But, you know, I'm moving on." "And I've passed the bar and I've brushed up on the latest case law, and I'm gonna show them that Riley Perrin, legal eagle, is back." "Oh, dear dear sweet naive little Riley, sure "knowledge" is great, but you might want to update your look." "You know?" "Add a little pizzazz!" "I've got pizzazz." "Honey, that was just p-sad." "All right, boys, help me out here." "Who you hiring?" "Smart or hot?" " Hot." "Hot." " Totally hot." " Definitely hot." "Well, since Moe, Larry and Curly aren't on the selection committee," "I think I'm good." "Really?" "Because Bonnie's beauty bar is now featuring home spray tanning." "Oh, I don't know." "Those always look kinda fake." "Mm-hmm." "Riley, take your pick..." "Mocha frappuccino or cinnamon toast." "Well, I mean, maybe I could use a little color." "Oh, my god." "What have you done to me?" "!" "I don't know what happened." "Oh, "dilute solution with water."" "Oh, I bet that was it." "My interview is tomorrow." "What am I gonna do?" "I know you're upset." "So I won't charge you for this session." "Ben!" "What is going on with that dog?" "Who cares, man?" "I'm having a great time." "Okay, gentlemen," "I believe "thank yous" are in order." "I have handled our whole sanitation situation." "I have hired a cleaning crew." "Dude, that's great!" "No, not a great idea." "I don't want a bunch of strangers coming up in here touching all my stuff." "I'd like for you to meet our cleaning crew," "Ashley and Debbie." " Hi." " Hi." "Oh, please." "Please come in and touch all of my stuff." "We're just gonna get started, if that's okay." "Uh..." "Guys, don't we have something better to do?" " Yeah yeah yeah." "We coming, all right." " Yeah, we're coming." "We're doing it." "We're just gonna get out of your way." "We need to pick up Emma at daycare and get a beer." "Maybe not in that order." "Ladies, just leave the key under the mat when you're done." "Oh, and you may want to stay out of my room." "My girlfriend's dog is in there," "And she's half-mop, half-devil." "And my room is in the back." "I could show you where it is, if you'd like." "Oh, my god." "I love you." "Riley, hi." "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." "But it is really so good to see you..." "What the hell happened to you?" "!" "Spray tan gone awry." "I tried to scrub it off, but I think that just made it angry." "Ms. Jenson, please don't be put off by my cheddar-like appearance." "There is no one with more knowledge about this law firm than me." "Except for maybe you." "Riley, honestly, even if you had passed the bar the first time we still were gonna let you go." "You're just too..." "Nice." "Nice?" "You think I'm too nice?" "There is no one more un-nice than I am!" "Sorry." "Ow." "There's nothing wrong with being nice." "But it doesn't really make for a good attorney." "We crush people for a living." "And that's what I wanna do." "I wanna crush people too." "Really?" "Then what happened to that person that turned you into a yam?" "You suing them?" "Um." "Well, no." "Not exactly." "I rest my case." "I think we're done here." "Oh, um... uh, wait." "I'm not suing her, because..." "We're going straight to mediation." " You are?" " Oh, my God, yes." "And I am gonna take her for everything she's worth." "Hmm." "Maybe I have underestimated you." "So you're gonna reconsider?" "This may be a way that you can prove to me that you can really do this." "You can use our conference room." "You want me to do the mediation here?" "Yes." "Think of it as an extended interview." "Oh, this is going to be fun!" "Oh, and if we're lucky, someone might cry." "I could almost guarantee it." "Okay, they were pretty and all, but that cleaning crew sucked." "Where's our tv?" "I think we've been robbed." "I can't believe we got robbed right after we finally got the place clean!" "Dude, it was those girls." "What else did they take?" "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "Oh, no no no no..." "They took Lola!" "Now I really regret paying them in advance." "Okay, I've been up and down every block in the neighborhood." "I put up flyers on every corner in a five-mile..." "Is that a new tv?" "!" "Yeah, you told us to do something," " so we did something." " Yeah." "It is so important to have your priorities straight in a time like this." "It's not our priority." "We need to get Lola back." "Calm down, bro." "Who could know that hot maids with no references would rip us off?" "Everyone!" "Did you at least call the cops?" "What did they say?" "Well, they said they'd get back to us in like five to seven days." "And then they laughed at us for giving our keys to strangers." "Five to seven days?" "!" "I don't have five to seven hours." "Megan's gonna..." "Ah!" "It's her!" "Answer?" "Don't answer?" "Don't answer." "Megan, hello." "Hi." "Uh, yeah." "Lola." "Uh-huh." "You wanna talk to her." "Okay." "Uh, yeah." "She's right here." "Let me grab her." "Oh, that's a good girl." "Yeah..." "Okay, that's a good girl." "See?" "All good." "Okay, I'll talk to you later." "We need to find those girls." "Danny, do you still have their number?" "Yeah, but..." "I would not recommend them to anyone." "What are we supposed to do?" "Set up a sting operation and catch them ourselves?" "Tucker, that's brilliant!" "Nobody's gonna let us just use their apartment to catch a couple of thieves." "What if we don't tell that nobody?" "And by nobody, I mean mom." "This is perfect!" "I paid those girls for two weeks." "You're suing me?" "!" "Mrs. Wheeler, I am a carrot in heels." "You owe me this." " Fine." " Yes!" "Thank you." "Thank you, thank you..." "Whoa whoa whoa, tangerine dream." "I just bought this." "Oh." "Hey, Riley." "I didn't know you were gonna be... wait." "Is there something different about you?" "You change you hair?" "Yeah." "I changed my hair." "You look good." "You look really good." "So mom, I'm going to the store and wondered if you needed anything." "Oh." "Honey, that's really sweet." "Actually, I got a list on the fridge." "And I'm making Emma's schedule." "Which days will you be around your apartment?" "Well, every day except tomorrow." "I have to go downtown and let Riley publicly humiliate me, so I'm kinda booked." "Tomorrow." "Okay." "That's great." "Thank you." "Well, wait wait." "Don't you need my grocery list?" "What would I want that for?" "And they wonder why margarita Monday is three days a week." "Riley, as much as I'd love for you to get your job back, you're really gonna have to show me that you can do this." "I won't let you down." "I promise." "Come on in." "Ladies." "Mrs. Wheeler, I'm Margaret Jenson," "I'll be mediating." "I believe you know Ms. Perrin, who'll be acting as her own attorney." "And this is my attorney." "Mister..." "Hector." "You brought an attorney?" "Don't worry, he's just my doorman." "All right, let's get this little shakedown session started." "Oh!" "Mrs. Wheeler!" "I got it!" "I said I got it." "All right." "Carry on." "Um, all right." "For the record, are you Bonnie Wheeler, owner of Bonnie's beauty bar?" "Yes." "And is it true that you do not have a current license to practice cosmetology in the state of New York?" "I would like to plead the fifth at this time, and if it pleases the court, we'd like to break for lunch." "Mrs. Wheeler, if we do not come to a swift conclusion to these proceedings, I will petition for criminal charges to be brought." "And I will shut down Bonnie's beauty bar for good." "I mean, it only takes one look at my skin to prove that you have no skills, no talent and have no right to be working in this business." "Mrs. Wheeler, you are a disgrace!" "Well..." "Let me tell you something." "Here they come..." "I'm so sorry." "You're right, you know?" "I don't know what I'm doing." "But this business is all that I have left." "You know, I'm just trying to restart my life." "After the divorce and then Ben having a baby..." "Mrs. Wheeler, are you okay?" "No!" "No, I'm not!" "I really thought I could do this, but I can't." "Everything that you said was true." "If this doesn't work out," "I just don't know what I'm gonna do." "No no, please don't cry." "I'm so sorry." "It's gonna be all right." "I know." "I'm just trying to help you." "Oh." "So..." "I'm guessing you two know each other." "Alright, so, the girls will be here any minute." " Danny, is the key under the mat?" " Check." " Tucker, video camera ready?" " Check." "A place to hide?" "Oh, right." "I was in charge of that." "Closet." "So we'll catch 'em stealing on tape, then turn them over to the police, and get Lola back." "Everybody in." "One at a time!" "Okay, go." "Knock knock." "Anybody home?" "See?" "Told you they wouldn't be here." "And what's the first thing they did?" "Buy themselves a new tv." "These guys are such idiots." "They should be here by now." "When you set this up, you said 3:00, right?" "Yeah." "But they might have had trouble understanding me because..." "I disguised my voice by using clever accent." "You didn't use your own phone, did you?" "Yeah, what other phone would I use?" "A phone that doesn't have a number they recognize!" "Danny, what is the matter with you?" "!" "They know this whole thing was a setup." "Those girls are never gonna show up now." "They're here." "Go go go go go go go!" "Come on, come on." "All you had to do was give me a heads-up." "I mean, it would have been nice to know you were planning on auditioning for a telenovela." "I was good, wasn't I?" " No!" " Hey, what are you guys doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "And why are you doing it in my closet?" "Danny hired a cleaning crew who robbed us and stole Megan's dog, so we hired them to rob you." "And happy mother's day." "Mom, they stole Megan's dog." "I have to get her back." "All I have left is this little pink whistle." "Lola?" "She's back in our apartment!" "With the girls!" "And they are taking our new tv!" "Go go go go!" "Mom, call the police!" "Answer me this question, miss lawyer." "Is it possible to sue your own kids for pain and suffering?" "Probably not." "But..." "I think I know someone we can sue." "Oh, I'll call Hector." "He's almost done updating my will." "Freeze!" "We missed them." "They got it." "And it still had that new tv smell." "Did you catch them?" "I took the elevator." "They are not in there." "We blew it!" "Oh, my God." "What am I gonna do?" "What am I gonna tell Megan?" "It's her!" "Answer?" "Don't answer?" "Don't answer." "Megan, hi." "Lola?" "Come on." "I think she might have a cold." "Okay, bye now." "Look, I know what I did was wrong, and I'm sorry." "But I hope you can see now how truly passionate I am about working here." "And I will literally try anything to make my point." "Really?" "That's all you got?" "Actually, no." "It's not all I got." "Mrs. Wheeler?" "Yeah?" "Ow ow ow ow." "Ow ow ow..." "You have got to be kidding me." "Oh, I wish I was." "But your office furniture is faulty and has led to untold pain and suffering to my client." "Fine." "Go ahead." "Sue me." "Oh, I'm suing you, all right." "For her medical treatments, her recovery time," "Not to mention the potential long-term consequences of her injuries." "And when this goes to trial, don't be surprised if every dirty little trick this firm has ever played becomes a matter of public record." "You wouldn't dare." "Oh, try me." "Who's too nice now?" "Welcome back, Riley." "You can start on Monday." "Yes." "Thank you so much." "All right." "Let's go, Mrs. Wheeler." "Oh, thank God." "This thing was driving me crazy." "Did you see how good..." "The truth..." "just tell her the truth." "Lola's at the groomers'." "The groomers'?" "Ben, what's going on?" "Look, Megan." "I just have to be honest with you." "Lola ran off with a schnauzer she met at the park." "Or..." "Lola!" "Maybe she was kidnapped by two girls who tried to ransom her back to me." "Kinda wished you mentioned that before the whole schnauzer story." "So you paid the ransom?" "No, I called the cops, and they arrested the girls when they showed up with the dog." "Wow, that is a really good plan." "Ben." "How could you let this happen?" "I trusted you to take care of my baby and you let her get stolen." "Then lied to me about it." "You know she's not a real baby, right?" "I just don't think I can ever forgive you for this." "What are you saying?" "That I can't see you anymore." "Bye, Ben." "Lola, calm down." "What is the matter with you?" "!" "You wanna make sure that you get a good foam going." "Like this?" "No." "Scrub those plates like they owe you money!" "Now you're just moving dirt around." "Give me that!" "Honestly." "Who can't figure out how to wash a plate?" "You are lucky that you can change light bulbs and smoke detectors, otherwise you'd be completely useless." "So lemony."

"To play "Seven Virgins," put two candles before a mirror and stare at yourself for 60 seconds." "Like a countdown." "They say your reflection will speak and tell you your future."

"Behave yourself." "Here, your cigarettes." "See you later." "Hey, bro!" " Get stoned!" " Bring some back!" "Tell Nuri I love her!" "Don't be a pain." "How are you?" "Much better now."

"34... 35... 36... 37... 38..." "Who is it?" "See you later." "Where are you going?" "What?" "I won't say anything." "Hold on, I'm not done." "What?" "Stay out of trouble." "You look too happy." "You're such a pain." "Bullshit." "Keep your ass in line." "You think I'm fucking stupid?" " Grandma..." " Cayetano, sweetie!" "It's been so long." "Let me have a look at you." "That face." " Just like your mother's." " Yeah, Grandma..." "You're taller but skinnier." "Don't they feed you at that school?" "Yeah, Grandma." "Of course they do." "You wouldn't know it, son." "Shall I make you some coffee and toast?" "I bought some pork lard." "With chunks?" "With chunks, the way you like it." "And I've got some nice ham, too." "I'm not hungry." " Where's my stuff?" " In there." "I put it in bags so it wouldn't get ruined." " Where will I sleep?" " There." "It's a foldout bed." "I fixed up my room for your brother's wedding."

"When we see Fali we'll give it back to him." "You want it for yourself." " Fine, let's go." " Hey, boys." "Hey, what's up?" "What's going on?" " Froggy!" " How's life?" " You're fatter." " And you're uglier." "My mom says the same thing." " Are you off the hook?" " No way." "She found hash in my pocket and called me a drug addict and all kinds of stuff."

"Fuck you." "You interrupt me and now you're pissed?" "What did I do?" " Hey, aren't we going in?" " Fuck it." " What about Patri?" " Patri?" "Weren't you meeting her?" " She didn't show." " Stupid bitch." " Her loss." " She's an idiot." " Fuck her." " She'll love it." "She better not come looking for me." " Have you got any left?" " Have I?" "What are you looking for, anyway?"

"Take off before we start with his mom." "Yeah, there's a slut for you." "Since your dad went to jail they say your mom's been humping that guy with one arm." "If they do that in public they can make a bundle." "You should tell her." "What?" "You want some, too?" "Easy, man." "He was joking." "I was joking!" " Joking?" "Fuck you guys." " Hey, get out of here!" "Damn, Caca." "He slapped your ass good." "Enough, okay?" "Enough what?" "Forget what Caca said." "He's full of shit." " He's a fucking jerk." " And an asshole." "A major fucking asshole." "The worst of it is," "I actually sort of like the kid." "Yeah, he's okay." "I sure smacked him good though." "Yeah." "It would be nice to hear about it." "If you want to talk about it, that is." "No?" "Nobody told you?" "They all say something different." " I don't remember." " You don't?" "No." "I was in the car and suddenly I woke up in the hospital." "The guy came crashing through the windshield." " And he died right there?" " I guess." "I don't remember." "Doesn't she look familiar?" "Tano, wait!" "Fucker!" "Hop on." "Well?" "Watching a porno?" "Quiet, Grandma's asleep." "Nice picture." "It turns off by itself." "Look." "Where's the remote?" "What did I tell you?" "What did I tell you?" "I told you to stay out of trouble, didn't I?" "I didn't do anything." "No?" " And what's this?" " Let go, Jose." " Well?" " I bought it with my own money." "Your money?" "Goddammit..." " Where'd you get it?" " I saved up." "Saved up?" "You think I'm fucking stupid?" "Let go of me." "What the hell do I have to do?" "Tie you up?" "Is that it?" " Stop screaming." " I'll scream if I damn well please!" "I don't take orders from you." "I don't from you, either." "I'm sick of your shit, you punk." " Fucking sick of it." " What will you do?" "Throw me out?" "The wedding's at seven." "I'm taking Grandma at 6:30." "Do whatever the fuck you want." " Yeah?" " It's me." " Who?" " Me." "Open up." "Come on, I cut my foot." "When are you going back?" "At the end of August." "My dad's off until September." "Tell them you're staying here until September." "Staying where?" "Here in this room, with me." "You'd better ask them." "I called them earlier and they said yes." "What do we eat tomorrow?" "I don't care." "What about next month?" "Next month..." "Chinese food." "Next month Chinese food." "And after that, pizza." "Richi will be coming for lunch on Sundays." "Tell him to bring something." "And condoms, lots of condoms." "That, too."

"How much was it?" "40, right?" "50." " 50?" " Weren't you in a hurry?" "Cigarettes kill more people than airplanes, and I've overcome my fear of flying." "I light up a cigar on special occasions, and in the clouds I've got a BMW, a Playstation, your picture and a couple postcards." "I still write you wherever "you" are." "Happiness, what a pretty name you've got" "Happiness, you don't even know where you've been."

"To the shoemaker Paillet:" "If you do not pay immediately the outstanding taxes, the cobbler Paillet must be taken to debtor's prison." "Commissioner" "I prefer going to prison as a debtor, rather than let my wife starve." "While the King wastes money on his mistresses, the rest of us must starve." "You do not have a piece of bread among us?" "I will get bread, even if I have to use force." "Complain to the king that bread is very expensive." "It is he who keeps the privileges of those who profit." "Perhaps the countess can give me some information about the whereabouts of Lt. Armand de Foix?" "Lt. Armand de Foix has just been arrested."

"You weren't exactly bursting with confidence when the Aridians held us prisoner." "A momentary qualm, a momentary qualm." "Nothing more, nothing more." "Yes, I had a qualm or two myself." "Yes, quite so, oh.." "Hey, I wonder how those Mire Beasts are enjoying that Dalek, eh?" "Bit gritty." "Oh, I don't know, I should think a little" "Pate de Dalek a la Mire Beast might be rather palatable!" "Oh Doctor!" "Well, we can always drop you off to find out, hmm?" "Thank you very much!" "We've just escaped from those things." "We don't want to be sent back there." "Ah and I don't think we shall run into them again." "And I think you must agree that we gave them a very good hiding." "Yes, yes, yes, I..." "Er, what's this, Doctor?" "That's my Time Path Detector..." "It's been in the ship ever since I constructed it." "But do you know, I don't remember it registering before?" "What does it show?" "Well, it surveys the time path we're travelling on." "The fact that it's registering can only mean one thing..." "Yes, go on!"

"We could keep moving." "Yes, but for how long, Vicki?" "Let's ask the Doctor." "He should know by now what he's going to do." "Ah, I'm afraid it's no good." "I'm quite unable to elude them, hmm!" "Doctor, what are we going to do?" "When we land?" "Just wait for the Daleks to catch us up?" "It takes twelve minutes for our computers to re-orientate and gather power." "Now that twelve minutes is vital to us." "We must hold onto it." "Give me time to be able to do something whereby..." "Why don't we just go faster, Doctor?" "Yes, well, please, just leave it to me, just leave it to me, will you?" "Doctor?" "The time rotor" " Doctor, it's slowing down!" "Yes, yes - hmm?" "Oh, that means we can land in two minutes." "But where, Doctor, where?" "Here, on top of the Empire State Building you're on the hundredth and second storey above the ground level." "At a height of one thousand, four hundred and, seventy, three feet." "This is the tallest building, the tallest structure in the entire world." "Now you note, when you come up in the elevator, it took you seven minutes." "Well this way down, you wanna get down in a hurry, it would take you thirty seconds." "Well, of course, we,don't, recommend that." "Now as we, gaze out across the panorama... the, imposing panorama of our proud city you will notice many other notable buildings." "Among them the, er, Chrysler Tower that's one thousand and forty six feet high and the Jannen Tower, that's six hundred and eighty feet high and already it's threatened with obsolescence." "Without what?" "Up the mighty Hudson river and now if you'll come with me to the north aspect of the building, I will point out more items of interest." "We sure don't have anything like that in Alabama!" "No sir, ha!" "I could have sworn that thing wasn't there just now?" "Well, I guess that's New York for ya!" "Ha!" "Morning." "You're from Earth..." "No, no Ma'm." "No, I..." "I'm from Alabama." "Er, what time is it?" "Three after twelve, Ma'm." "I really meant what year is it?" "What, you mean you have different years here?" "!" "Well... what year is it in Alabama?" "1966 Ma'm." "You wouldn't be trying to have a bit of fun with me now, would you?" "No... no." "Afternoon." "Mornin' 1966!" "Oh..." "Erm... thank you!" "Pleased to oblige you, Miss!" "recognise this place." "It's Ancient New York." "Ancient!" "There were pictures of it in our history books." "It was destroyed in the Dalek invasion." "Wait... how many more of you are there in that thing?" "Oh, just the four of us, young man." "Must be a kind of tight squeeze?" "Can't all have come out of there." "Doctor?" "This is no place to meet the Daleks." "A lot of innocent people could get hurt." "Yes, quite so, quite so, dear boy." "Well, er, the computers will be ready in a few moments." "I... suggest that, er, we re-embark." "Yeah." "Er, Vicki, Barbara, come along." "Hey, er, you goin' back in?" "Yes, that's right." "Oh now, come on, wait a minute!" "Ah..." "I just bet you folks are from Hollywood!" "You're making some kind of motion picture." "Now that's it, ain't it?" "No, it ain't!" "I..."

"Y... you, you should be wearing Police uniforms you all is... you all is in a chase." "Chase?" "Yes, as a matter of fact, young man, that's exactly what this is." "Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be getting along, it's the, er, chase, you know?" "Sure thing Mister!" "Ah understand." "Just wait 'til I tell the folks back home I met some real movie pe..." "Do you know Cheyanne Bodie?" "Look, just wait a minute, ...I want to get this thing on celluloid." "That's real clever, how they done that." "Sure if it don't beat all!" "Sure is clever that..." "God darn it if they ain't gone an' done it again!" "Howdy Mister!" "Say, you sure are an ugly looking friend!" "Wait... what's the name of this film, Mister?" "My, my my, boy, you come all over in blue spots." "What's this thing here?" "Now, just, now now!" "There ain't no need to get sore." "The other movie people was right friendly." "Movie pe..." "Where are they?" "They-just-left!" "They was in some kind of beat-up old blue wooden box" "It just kinda like vanished!" "I say, I thought they'd hav been chasing you." "Just hold it there, Mister." "I want to get a picture of this." "Sure is the greatest..." "Well, dang me!" "If they ain't gone an' done it again!" "This is... the greatest thing." "It's gotta be around here somewhere?"

"Yes, thank you, thank you." "Is this going to work, Doctor?" "Maybe." "I'm not sure." "But if they're going to catch us up we've got to find something to fight back with, hmm?" "Oh, Doctor, why don't we just stay where we are?" "That's out of the question, my dear." "The vacuum in space, we should all be dead in no time." "Here you are." "Ah, thank you, thank you." "What's this all about?" "Well, the idea is, my dear, is to find something that... we can fight back with." "Doctor, we're landing!" "Hmm?" "But I'm not ready, I'm not ready!" "We can't meet them now!" "Oh, gracious!" "No, wait a minute." "We shall have to land and then... take off as quickly as we can again." "Land about six miles off to the south-south-west, sir." "Aye, that'll be the island of Santa Maria." "One of the Azores group." "We're making poor time, Mr. Richardson." "And now it be calmed, after the storm." "I'll mark a reading on the deck log, sir." "I'm going below if you should want me." "Sarah says our child has sickness." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that, sir." "It is a ship, Ian!" "It's a sailing ship at sea." "Barbara, don't go wandering off, please." "I just want to have a look." "I..." "I love sailing ships!" "There's no point in being seen." "No, well, erm, I'll just have a look over the ships rail." "No, no, the Doctor's at the controls, we're..." "Got you!" "Oh, let go of me!" "Let go of..." "No, you don't, my beauty" "Captain Richardson's got a way of dealing with stowaways." "I am not a stowaway and you're hurting my hands!" "Just you keep still." "Where've you been hiding since we set sail, eh?" "I haven't been hiding!" "I have just come on board!" "I suppose you're some sort of a mermaid that's lost at sea, eh?" "You swam out from Santa Maria now just to give us poor lonely sailormen a little bit of feminine company, eh?" "Well, everything appears to be in order, my boy, mm?" "Oh, we haven't done very well so far, Doctor, have we?" "Let's face it." "First of all, we land on top of a skyscraper..." "Now we land on a crummy old ship." "What we need is space." "Mmm, indeed, indeed, well, we're ready to move on." "Now, would you, er, tell the ladies that I, er, want to get away, please." "Yes" "Thank you." "Barbara's got a case of call of the sea." "Ah, I'm sorry about that." "You're hurting my hand!" "Look, even if I told you the truth, you wouldn't believe me." "I believe what I see." "Now, come along!" "You're going before the Captain!" "Well done, thanks Vicki!" "That's all right, anytime!" "Hey, there's somebody coming!" "Hide!" "Got him!" "I got him!" "Yes..." "Oh..." "Vicki!" "Vicki, quickly!" "Ah!" "Oh, Ian!" "I'm terribly sorry!" "Did I hurt you?" "Oh, that's a silly question!" "Oh!" "Come on, let's get him into the ship." "Oh, Ian!" "I didn't mean it!" "Oh, Ian!" "Captain Briggs!" "Captain!" "Captain Briggs!" "Yes Mr. Richardson?" "Captain, there was a thing." "on the lower deck." "What are you talking about?" "A stowaway sir." "She got away from me." "A stowaway, eh?" "A girl?" "Aye sir." "Mr. Bosun!" "Rise all hands amidships, we've a stowaway!" "Aye aye sir!" "How'd she get away?" "I got a hit over the head." "By her?" "No sir, it couldn't have been because I was holding her arms." "Do you think it was the..." "the white Barbary terror?" "That's ungodly superstition, Mr. Richardson!" "We've more than one stowaway aboard Mr. Bosun." "Aye sir." "The storm must have bought them out of their hiding place." "Aye lad." "I want 'em found." "Each watch can take a section of the ship and search it thoroughly." "I'll, er, I'll take the forward hold sir, er" "Mr. Bosun, take, er, Starkey and Willoughby, search the aft." "Starkey and Willoughby!" "And Bosun?" "I'll thank you not to disturb my wife and child." "Aye aye sir." "The rest of you men search the hold." "Keep your hands off the cargo." "We shall soon be arriving." "Order the search party to stand by." "They are ready." "Is that where the humans have landed?" "Yes." "Join the search party and prepare to disembark." "We are materialising... now." "There's nobody here, Willoughby." "We'll try below." "The white terror!" "The white terror of Barbary!" "Where are the time travellers?" "Run lads!" "'Tis the white terror!" "Run, run!" "You fools!" "Get back to your posts!" "Get away!" "Wait!" "Get away!" "Do not move!" "Answer my question!" "Come on, sir, come on!" "It's the Barbary terror!" "Come on!" "You're not going to take my soul!" "Is the earth time machine here?" "It has not yet been discovered." "Join in the search." "You search up there." "No... no!" "Wait!" "No... no... no, no!" "Please, no, please!" "No, no, argh!" "There is no one on the vessel." "Come." "We must continue our pursuit course." "Is that better?" "Oh!" "Thanks!" "Oh..." "Well, you must admit it was funny." "Really?" "I haven't seen the joke yet, I must say." "One thing I did see by the way the name of that ship we were on." "Was what that?" "The Mary Celeste.." "Mary Celeste?" "Vicki?" "Any change, Doctor?" "I altered the curve we were travelling on." "For one moment, I dared hoped we'd lost them." "They must have detected the change and followed." "They're close on our track." "But surely we've got our twelve-minute lead still?" "I'm afraid not." "It's down to eight." "It will be reduced even further after our next landing." "We must face the facts;" "the Daleks are closing in on us."

"Dazzling was the street I lived on." "Every time I come back to my old neighbourhood of Montmartre, where I was born dazzling I say, because all my memories are those of the sun." "I have a feeling it was always sunny when I was a little boy." "Perhaps it's because I was always happy." "All I wanted to do was play and make jokes... or play-fight with my buddies of Rue Bachelet, the street I lived on." "I was a bit of an urchin." "So here I am, Robert Sabatier," "Olivier if you like." "I'm now walking to my old school." "My school... how silly, I have a feeling a miracle is about to happen." "I'm transforming into the younger Olivier and I will relive my entire happy boyhood." "Well, not always happy, I had no idea what was ahead." "Hey sweetie, could you please lend me your chalk?" "Let us relive Olivier's story, which is my story..." "Nobody is looking..." "Anatole... and Grain de Sel... and Grain de Sel... are... both..." "Well, you've got balls, Châteauneuf." "Both of you are good for nothing." " You're scared shitless, aren't you?" " That's right." "You've got some nerve!" "You don't scare me one bit." "Want to know what you are?" "Writing down: riffraff." " What does that mean, riffraff?" " I don't know, but it must be an insult." "Châteauneuf Olivier Sabatier..." "You will pay dearly for this." "Help!" "You're done for, Châteauneuf!" "Shit!" " It's locked!" " Go after him, he can't get away!" "Get him, get him!" "You're really asking for it, Châteauneuf." " Bunch of losers!" " Bastard!" "Open this door!" "So, my riffraff, try to get out of this one!" " Monsieur Ernest." " Olivier, what are you doing here?" "I came to warn you, because Grain de Sel and Anatole... snuck into your basement to steal some wine." "Well, they'll soon find out who they're dealing with." "Thank you, Olivier." " Ernest, treat him to a lemonade." " Coming right up." " Good day, Ernest." " How are you?" "Very well!" "Aren't you Monsieur Bougras?" "I'll say." "I sprained my back working on some worthless deed." "Thanks, Ernest" "I have some fruit and vegetables for you." "I can bring them to your flat." "Well, you can bring them to me tomorrow." "Tonight, I'm... getting sloshed." "And hopefully, in good company." " If I catch you again, I'll turn you in." " We did nothing wrong, sir!" "That's not what Olivier told me." "Get out and never come back!" " You're not done with me yet, Châteauneuf!" " Sure, sure..." "I'm home!" " Olivier, I told you to come straight home after school." "You knew I wanted to go out." "I completely forgot." "Where are you going?" "To the hospital in Salpêtrière." "Visiting a friend." "Do I know her?" "No, I haven't seen her in a long time." "Come, I prepared your lunch." "I made you a quiche." "There's ham and cheese." "If I'm not back when you go back to school, leave the keys with madame Hacque." "Understood." "Ah, I almost forgot." "Bring this ledger back to Madame Michon." "I'm not surprised, she never pays up that one." "You should be more careful." "You can't give credit like that to everybody." "You're right, my love." "But what can I do." "The crash affects everyone and we are merchants." " OK, see you later." " See you later, mom." " Ah!" "Good morning, miss Mado." " Good day, Olivier." " You're mom is not here?" " No, she had to run an errand." "Oh well." "Please give her this stocking that I mended." " Alright, very well." " What am I forgetting..." " Ah yes!" "Some lace from the spool." " Extra soft?" "Yes, that's it." " Which one?" " You're turning into a fine store keeper." "I can really hold my own, don't you think?" " I think this one should do." " Very well." " How much do you need?" " 1.50 meter 1.50 meter..." "Good day, Olivier." "Good day." " Is your mom in?" " No." "That's odd, she did ask me to drop by." "Here, you see this?" " No." " I thought you liked these." "Well, not anymore!" "Listen, tell your mom I came by." "Just let her know that I'll show up at our rendez-vous." "Good day, miss." "I can't stand that guy." " One of your mom's admirers?" " He's lying." "She doesn't care about him." " She never expects anyone when I hold the store." " Of course, Olivier." "But your mom is still young." "It's normal for her to see men once in a while." "But why?" "We're happy together." "I agree with you." "Your mom loves you." "If she sees other men, it doesn't change in any way the love she has for you." " You understand?" " No." "How can I explain?" "What's your favorite food?" " Plum pudding." " Okay,well..." "Your mom, when she dates men, it's a bit like you with your plum pudding." "It gives her a little pleasure." "But she still likes you the best." "I don't want her dating men, that's all." "My lord, I think you're jealous!" "You know Olivier, sometimes mothers, when the father has died, they remarry, especially if they are beautiful like your mother." "You... you're beautiful..." "and yet you're not married." "For me it's different." " Ah, good morning, miss." " Good morning, doctor." " May I speak to your mother?" " No, she's not here." " And where is she?" " At the hospital." " In Salpêtrière?" " Yes, she went visit a friend." "How did you know?" "He's the worst of them all." "He's too old for mother." "Don't put words in my mouth, madame." "You asked me to tell you the truth." "I did." "But Monsieur Gringalet was very clear." "With his studies in pathology, his diagnostics and especially his predictions, it's a delicate matter." "Well, you are sure that I might be subject to aneurisms?" " Yes." " And it could happen at any time?" "Yes, absolutely." "But, when and how severe I cannot say." " So you're saying, all I have left is hope." " Let me through!" "What is happening?" "I'm Doctor Lehman, this woman's practitioner." " What are you doing here, Rene?" " What did you say to her?" "What you've been hiding from me, Rene... that I am lost." "No, it's not true." "Virginie." "You had no right telling her that." "My dear colleague, I've always been straight with my patients when needed." "I am not only her doctor but also a friend." "A very close friend." "I will take care of her." "And she didn't have to know." "You traumatized her!" "I don't need your advice." "I'm a professor of medicine and know exactly what to do." "Virginie..." " Don't believe a word he said." " Oh please!" "No more lies between us." "But why did you consult him." "Why?" "For Olivier's sake." "I needed to know." "And since you were incapable of telling me the truth." "I know it's not easy being both the doctor and the lover." "But nothing is lost, Virginie." "You can live for years and years." "Not exactly his point of view." "You do have faith in me, don't you?" "Virginie..." "I want you to marry me." "Do you think I would propose to you if I knew you wouldn't pull through?" "I don't know if it's true or not Rene, but... thanks for telling me." "But of course, it's true." "If you stop working, if you come live with me... all you will have to do is rest." "You'll see, I will take good care of you." " And Olivier too?" " Yes, Olivier too." "As if he were my son." " Even if something happens to me?" " You have my word." "I will adopt the lad and raise him as my own." "I don't know what to think anymore." "I do like you, Rene." "That's all I ask." "If you are up to it, you come over this evening and we'll talk about it." "Public school for boys" "Listen carefully, children." "This entire area colored in pink and" "Madagascar are part of the French colonial empire." "Now who can tell me how many inhabitants are found in French West Africa?" "Châteauneuf." " 4 million, 700 thousand." " 4 million, 700 thousand!" "You should think for yourself, instead of repeating stupidities from your classmates." "You just gave me the territorial area, not the population!" "Ah, you think that's funny, eh?" "Bunch of nincompoops!" "For you, the French Colonial Empire is a laughing matter." "I taught students in Indochina." "And let me tell you." "They knew more about your own country than you do." "With any stroke of luck, he might have another one of his memory spells..." "Want to join us?" "We're going to play soccer in front of the Transat." "No." "I'm waiting for David." "I'm going to do my homework at his place." "Well, you and David are real buddies, aren't you." "I hope you piss on him for me." " Muzzle your guzzle, brat." " Châteauneuf!" " Châteauneuf, what a nice surprise." " I told you I'd catch up with you." "You know what we do to stool pigeons?" "Say you're sorry." " Say you're sorry." " Leave him alone, Anatole." " Why should I?" " Because of his mother." " What about my mother?" " Her time is up, your mommy." " You're a liar!" " I'm not lying at all." " I heard Dr. Lehman told her the truth." " Liar!" "You're mom sees him regularly, right?" "Well, it's no longer a secret." "You're nothing but a lying bastard!" "Wait and see." "Your mom will be going West soon." " Let's see that pretty face of yours." " Leave me alone." "I'll smack you one." "Oh you little runt." "You're really asking for it." " Stop it, stop it!" " Mind your own business, Zober." "Whoa, whoa!" "Come on, children." "Go on home, everyone of you." "You've nothing better to do?" "Bunch of imbeciles." " You will answer for this, Châteauneuf." " You're repeating yourself!" "Take care of yourself, Olivier." "Take care of yourself." "Thank you, sir." "How did he know my name?" " I don't know." "You've never seen him?" " No, I would remember a one-armed man." " Look at your trousers." " Oh, shit!" " Mom says they must last 'til Christmas." " Come over to my place, dad will patch it up." " Is your old man home right now?" " Yes, and the way things are, he's not too busy." "Like father like son, they say." "I wonder what line of work you'll get into." " This one is pure virgin wool?" " Yes, pure virgin wool." " And this one too." " Yes, nice fabric." "This one is special." "I picked it up just for you this morning." "Well then, I'll give it some thought." "In any case, it wouldn't be for now, perhaps for next summer." " Goodbye, Mr. Zober." " Goodbye, Mr. Turgan." "And thank you." "So, Isaac." "Which one did Mr. Turgan choose?" " Nothing at all." " Really?" "Says he doesn't need a suit right now, maybe next summer." " But he said..." " Yes, the crash is a strain for him too." "Now, now... we must show a bit of courage." "I'm going over to Kulpasky's." "Courage doesn't fill dinner plates." "We can get credit from Kulpasky, he won't refuse us." "One day no one will give us credit, Isaac." "And then what, how will we get by?" "Esther, I received a letter from my uncle, the one who lives in America." " And?" " Well, he's offered me to come work with him." "He's doing quite well in New York." " And what will you tell him?" " That we accept his offer, of course." "Don't tell me we have to go away, again!" "Hello mother, hello father, shalom." "I brought Olivier." " Hello madam, hello sir." " Hello Olivier." " Monsieur Zober?" " Oh..." " How did you get that tear, Olivier?" " Playing soccer." "Soccer?" "You're sure it wasn't during a scuffle?" "Can you sew it back, papa?" "Otherwise he'll be in trouble." "Alright, I'll do it by hand." "Give me your trousers Olivier, it'll take 5 minutes." "Thank you, monsieur Zober." "There." "Take Olivier to your room, and I will bring you a snack." "Tell her the story from the other day." "What was it again?" " The scene from Orpheus?" " Yes, that's it." " Priorities, David." "Homework first." " Yes, father." "Look at your husband, Esther, I'm a tailor who never makes a suit, only alterations." "I know Isaac, I know." "But think about David." "What sadness he will feel if we leave again." "He's so attached to his friend." " How did Orpheus manage to enter the Underworld?" " Well, he charmed the gods with his music." "Here you are, children, your chocolate milk." "Drink it while it's hot." " Your trousers will be ready in 10 minutes." " Thank you, madame Zober." " And he finally found her, Eurydice?" " Yes, he did." "But she now had to follow him to the Upper-world without ever setting eyes on him." " If not..." " If not, she had to go back to the Underworld." "They had almost arrived at the top and Orpheus turned around to see if Eurydice was still there." " But she had disappeared." " Disappeared?" "Yes, disappeared, as if by sorcery." "She was lost forever in the Realm of the Dead." " That's so beautiful." " Yes, but tragically sad." " And you, would you go to the Realm of the Dead?" " Hm, I don't know." "This story is just a legend." "As for me, I know two people for whom I would go to hell:" "My mother... and you." " Virginie." " Yes." "These have just arrived." "They are for you." " Red roses mean passionate love." " Thank you, Albertine." " Let's find out who sent them." " They're from Dr. Lehman." "You know, he loved you for so long." "If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate." "You're too sweet to stay alone." "And the doctor is a good man, right?" "And with that wretched war, men are getting scarce in this country." "What a cataclysm." " I lost my poor Fernand in that war." " Yes, I know, Albertine." "They smell so nice." " Well, I must go." "I have a stew on the stove." " Good night, Albertine." " Good evening, Olivier." " Good evening, madame Hacque." "How are you, young man?" " Good evening, mother." " Good evening, my love." " How was school?" " Everything went well." "You can lock up if you like, I'm not expecting anyone at this hour." "You know what?" "David told me the legend of Orpheus today." "Orpheus, isn't that an opera?" "No, Orpheus is a poet." "He rescues his wife from Hell." "Ah yes, now I remember..." "Eurydice." " It's nice to love someone so deeply." " I too would rescue you from the fires of Hell." "But I wouldn't do like him." "I wouldn't turn around." "Because..." "I don't want you to die." " Well now, this is not a happy story." " No." "It's not a happy story." "Alright, let's eat." "I made your favorite stew." "Are you pleased?" "Tell me, mother... you... you're not close to dying, are you?" "Why do you ask?" "Well... because..." "Grain de Sel told me his mother had seen documents in the doctor's office that said..." "Said what?" "That you might soon die." " It's a joke, right?" " What's the matter with you." "Of course it is." " And yet, you take medications." " I have a heart condition." "So I take digitalis." "Lots of people take it and live long lives." " Are you sure?" " What's come over you?" "Look at me!" " Do I look like someone who is dying?" " No." "Now tell me." "Didn't we agree I would teach you how to dance?" " You mean, like right now?" " Why not, come on." "And a one and a two... (Counting steps)" "You know what we'll do this evening?" "We'll go over to the Lapin Agile." "But you told me children weren't allowed!" " Don't worry, I'll find a way." " Great, and you can wear that dress I love." " This one, and with the matching shoes." " And why not the one with the flower pattern?" "No, it's awful." "Besides, it's too revealing." "No, you'll wear this one." "Yes, my lord." " Good evening, Madame Virginie." " Good evening." "I brought my boy with me." "That's all right, don't worry about it." " If we're raided, he can hide in the closet." " Understood." " What can I get you?" " For me, a Guignolet Kirsch." " What about you, Olivier?" " Me... hm... a ginger ale." " And a glass of water." " Coming up." "Oh darn, I forgot my digitalis!" " That's my baby." " I am not your baby." "That's right, you're more like a small hubby." " Aren't we happy together?" " I'll say." " I wanted to..." "I wanted to ask you something." " Yes, go on." "Is it normal that you want... to date men?" "Who told you that?" "Mado told me." " She should mind her own business." " She was very discreet about it." "You know, I've been wanting to talk to you for some time." "But I said to myself, he's too young to understand." "If it's about you getting married to Dr. Lehman, don't bother." " I must say, you're straight to the point." " Why is that?" "Isn't that what you wanted to tell me?" "Yes, of course... hm, not exactly." "I wanted to say that many mothers remarry and the children are happy to have a real family." "But I am happy." "I just don't want to leave you." "You say that, but one day, you'll get married too." "You'll have children." " And you'll forget about me." " No." " No, I'll never forget you." " You're such a sweetheart." "Perhaps Mado is right." "If you want to date other men, it's okay by me." "But I don't want to know about it." " A tango... shall we give it a try?" " No, not a tango, it's too hard." "Come Olivier, I'll teach you." "1- 2- 3..." "(counting steps)" "The most beautiful tango in the world..." "Mother?" "I love you, see you tonight." "Rene" "Doctor Rene Lehman General Practitioner, 2nd floor" " Olivier?" "What in the world?" " I know my mother's here." "Let me in!" " Olivier!" " Why did you do that?" "You shouldn't have!" "I don't love you anymore!" "Why did you do it?" "Olivier, calm down." "Please, listen to me." "No!" "Don't touch me." "I hate you, you understand?" "I hate you!" "You'll never get to marry my mother." "You're too old, you're too ugly!" "What is the matter with you, Olivier?" "You mustn't talk to me like that." "Please, Rene, I beg you, stay out of this." "But he shouldn't say those things." " I never want to see you again!" " I should never have come here." " I should never have listened to you." " Virginie!" " We messed everything up!" " Virginie, please." "Olivier!" "Olivier!" " Why, Olivier, why?" " I don't want to see you again." "You lied to me!" " You taught me never to lie." " Forgive me, Olivier." " I beg you." "I should never have done that." " No, it's too late." "I mean nothing to you." "You only think about yourself." "All you want to do is go live with him." "Don't say that!" "Everything I do is for you." "You're the only one that matters." "No... it's not true!" "Please stop." "Please stop it, Olivier." "I'm your mother." "Mama... mama..." " I'm fine, I'm fine." " But you were limping." "I'm fine, look... the heel on my shoe is broken, that's all." "Don't move, I'll get you some water." "You know, I wasn't thinking straight when I said those things." "If you like, I could get Doctor Lehman." "No, no..." "I feel better now." "I was too hot." "I'm okay now." "Thank you." "You know, Olivier." "In order to stop lying to you, I must tell you something." "I'm ill." "More than you can imagine." "So it's true." "It's true what they told me." "No... no..." "The doctor takes good care of me." "So when he asked me to marry him," "I thought it would be the perfect solution." "You know, I don't like him all that much." "But he wants me to pull through." "Just like you." "But you don't really need to marry him for that, he's such a stuffed shirt." "No, I don't really have to, no." "We can decide once you've given it some thought." "Tonight, we're both a little frazzled." "Come on, let's go." " Are you sure you're okay, Olivier?" " I'm good." " If you are too tired, stay home from school." " No, no." "I'm fine." "I want to go." "Hey, David, come in, come in!" "Hi Olivier." "Aren't you ready yet?" "What are you doing?" " Almost done, I'm coming." " Hey, guess who I saw on Lambert Street." " I don't know, who?" " That mysterious man who saved us last night." " He was leaving the Cantal Hotel." " So he's still in the neighbourhood?" "What are you talking about?" "Sorry mom, but yesterday we met a man who knew my name." "I didn't know him." "Else I would have recognised him." "He has only one arm." " One arm?" " Yes, he looked a little bit like papa." "He has brown hair and a mustache." "You know who he is?" " Oh, hurry up, you'll be late." " Yes, let's go." "We don't want to miss class." "Elodie!" "Elodie!" " Yes, what is it?" " Can I see you for a minute?" "Well of course, come on up." "But how can you be certain that the man Olivier saw was Andre Privat?" " I mean, children lie all the time." " No... no, Elodie, the dates match up." "Didn't you tell me he had to serve 2 more years in prison?" "Well, general amnesty was declared before the presidential elections." " Besides, he called Olivier by name." " Really?" " Yes." "Well in that case, that's rather troubling." "I'm scared, Elodie." "I'm really scared." " Maybe you should call the police." " No, I can't do that." "After all, he paid for his misdeeds." "And I don't think he wishes me any harm." " What's this?" "You still have feelings for him?" " Yes." "But I don't know which ones." "In 15 years, I've gone through all of them." "Hatred, forgiveness." "Remorse." "I was very young when the drama happened." "But nobody was ever angry with Privat, you know." "Except Victoria, my sister-in-law." "She never forgave him." " Neither did I, for that matter." " Come on, Virginia, the past is the past." "I thought I would be prepared for his release from prison." "Today I feel completely lost." "It's me!" " Well look who's here." " Hello dear cousin." "Hello my Jeannot." "You're back already?" " You're not working today?" " Tell me about it." "They stopped filming." "Why is that?" "There was an actor who couldn't speak into the mike." "Not even after 15 takes." " Who was it?" " His name is Gabin." "Jean Gabin." "You probably don't know him." "But of course we know him." "He's a singer." "We saw him at the Casino, remember?" " No." " He sang "L'amour caoutchouc"." "Stop it, Jean." " Not too heavy?" "Hey, you're okay?" " Thanks, boys." "I should be done in an hour." "Then I'll make you some pancakes." "There goes l'Araignée. ("The Spider")." "Children shouldn't be able to see such a derelict." "There are specialized homes for his kind." "Tell me, Madame Hacque, why is he like that?" "Because his mother was stung by a large spider when she was pregnant." "That's why he's like that." "But that's not possible, Madame Hacque, these are just stories." " How would you know, huh?" " Well, David knows everything." "Hey, there is I'Araignée!" "Wanna go?" " Good morning, sir." "Can we help you?" " No, no, it's all right, children." "No bother, it's from the heart." "Give me your bag." "What a pain, your bag is worthless." " You know what you've just done?" " Gutter-pups like you, we don't want them." "Yeah, we don't want them." "Take that, you old cripple." "Anatole, you're a bastard." "A real bastard, Anatole." " You still here?" " I'll go fetch some help." "You're wrong thinking you'll get away with this." "Keep out, Olivier, they're real rascals." "You want your ass churned into jelly?" "Yeah, we have a few scores to settle." " First apologize to this man." " Over my dead body!" "Piss off!" "Can't you see he needs help?" "Let it go, son." "It's no big deal." "L'Araignée doesn't need an apology." "He needs a warning." "We don't want to see this derelict here or anywhere else." " Here comes the chicken shit squad." " You're full of it, Grain de Sel." " I will shrivel you up, riffraff." "None of your business, Capdeverre." "It's Châteauneuf we want." "Piss on you." "If you lay a hand on Châteauneuf, there'll be war." "As for l'Araignée, he's free to wash his clothes here if he wants." "The basin belongs to everyone." "We're not pulling out of this one?" " Come on, children, you shouldn't..." " Hey, cripple, shut your soapbox." "Don't be such a dirty scoundrel, Anatole." "Death to the Riffraff!" "Such bad seeds this lot." "What's going on here?" "It's Riffraff, sir." "He says I'Araignée can't wash his clothes here." "You must help l'Araignée." "It's war sir, it's war!" "War, hey... come here, you bunch of bastards." "Have you any brains at all?" "Stop it." "Stop it right now!" "We need a revolution, my children!" "A revolution, a black flag!" "It's anarchy that..." " will save this world from stupidities." "Anarchy!" " With him France is in good hands." " So, Olivier, are you happy on your birthday?" " Yes, sir." "Ah, I'll take you to Luna Park this summer." "We'll be buddies in no time." "He's right you know." "You'll see that Luna Park is amazing!" " I'm cold." "I'll get my sweater from the coat room." " Let me get it for you." "No, no." "I rather get it myself." "You better hurry, the play is about to start again." "Very well, as you wish." " Here, here's the coat check ticket." " Thank you." "Alright, come on, Olivier." "I hope you enjoy the next act." "Andre." "I was certain it was you." "I've been observing you at a distance for days, afraid to approach you." "You can't Andre, it's not right." "I want you to know, for the last 13 years, I've only thought of you, every day." "I was hoping for a letter, a little word, but nothing came." "Nothing at all." " You hate me that much?" " Oh no, Andre." "I even tried to see you a few times, but at the last moment, I just couldn't." "I still love you, Virginie." "If you still want me." "No, no Andre." "It's impossible." "You have no idea." "But why?" "We're the only ones who can forgive the harm we've done to one another." " Andre, I'm going to marry another man." " I beg you." "Please think it over." "You're crazy." "All of a sudden you pop up and expect me to..." "I'll wait for you." "Tonight, in front of the haberdashery." "All night if I have to." "Oh no, Andre, go away." "I beg you, go away." "Virginie..." "Virginie..." " Go get a doctor." " Yes." " But where?" " I don't know." "Make an announcement in the hall." "Virginie..." "Virginie..." "Answer me." "Virginie!" "Mother!" "Mother..." "Mother!" " Give her some air, she needs to breathe." " Are you a doctor?" "I'm not just a doctor, sir." "I am her doctor." "Do not fret, Olivier, she just fainted." " I thank you." "I won't need you anymore." " No, sir, I stay." "Feeling better, mama?" "Feeling better?" "Oh Rene, what happened to me?" "It's nothing, you fainted." "Everything is fine now." "I'm here." "I will leave you, Andre." "We'll meet later as discussed." "See you soon, Olivier." " You know him, Mother?" " Yes." "He's an old friend I hadn't seen in years." " I feel better, now." "Let's go back to the hall." " No, I'll take you home." "No, I don't want to spoil Olivier's birthday because of a fainting spell." "Out of the question." "You must go home." " Go straight to bed." "It's late." " But mom!" " I will join you." " Virginie." "Please." "You've known that man for a long time?" "He's the one you said was in jail." "You also said you wanted to forget about him." "It's my life, Rene." "It's none of your business." "But it is, Virginie." "I have every right to know." "There can't be any secrets when we get married." "Well that's just it." "I don't know anymore." "We had an agreement." "What's the matter with you?" "I worry about Olivier, he's not ready." "I don't want to rush him." "Are you sure this is the real reason?" "Are you sure it's not because of this man?" "Don't waste your life a second time." "I beg you." "What do you know?" "What gives you the right to say that?" "But, sir..." "I came to get Virginie." "And please don't insist." "Let's go inside, shall we?" " Good evening, Olivier." " Good evening, sir." " That's right." "You've met already." " I've met him, but I don't know him." "Well, he's monsieur Privat." "He was you daddy's best friend, you know." "Really?" "Before I was born?" "Way before." "They came from the same village and knew each other since childhood." " We had our First Communion together." " How was my dad when he was young?" "Like you." "You look just like him." "Well then, why haven't you come sooner?" "I will tell you." "But you must not tell anyone." "You have my word, sir." " I've been in prison." " Andre, why tell him all that?" " For a long time?" " Long enough, yes. 13 years." " So he's a bandit." " Olivier, you don't only find bandits in prison." " I know." "Like Captain Dreyfuss!" " Enough, Olivier." "Say goodnight and go to bed." "No, please, Virginie." "I'm very happy to chat with Olivier." "Very well, then." "But only 5 more minutes." "I'm going to change, then it's bedtime." " I'm exhausted." " You can go to bed." "We'll chat some more." "Yes, mom." "Just go to sleep, I'm not tired." "Besides, tomorrow is Sunday." "Oh, you..." "So, it's your birthday this evening." " Yes, how did you know?" " Well..." " I have a gift for you." " What is it?" " But it's gold!" "A Louis d'Or." " It belonged to Napoleon." "It's the first of many." "It's a great one, you know." " You don't have..." " No, no." "Can you light it for me." " This matchbox is really nice." " If you want it... you can have it." " Oh thank you, monsieur Privat." "Okay, now let me show you a game." "So, you take 17 matches." "Each player takes his turn and can choose either one, two or three matches." " Whoever picks up the last one wins." " 17." " Understood?" " Yes." " Alright, you can start." " I'll take 3." "Your turn." "You lost." "Now I'll reveal the secret so you can win every time." "You must always take the 13th match." "Look what monsieur Privat gave me... real gold!" "Well look at that." "Okay, time for bed." "Tomorrow we're going to aunt Victoria's." "Remember, you must be on your best behavior." "Aunt Victoria can be very impatient with children." "Don't forget:" "Good morning, dear Aunt." "Good morning, dear Aunt." " Why do you tell me all this?" "Does she scare you?" " No, but you know how she likes to criticize." " And not a word about monsieur Privat." " Why so?" " I'll explain later." " May I ring the bell, mother?" " Yes." " You remember what I told you, right?" " Yes, mother." " Good day, Madame." " Good day." "We have an appointment." "I know, she's expecting you." "Come in." " Good day, Victoria." " Good day, dear Virginie." " Good day, Olivier." " Good day, dear aunt." "Ah, if it isn't our dear sister-in-law." " I am delighted to see you." " Hello, Henri." "And this must be Didier." "How he's grown." " Not Didier, Olivier, uncle." " Of course..." "Olivier." "You must excuse me, Virginie, I have a very important appointment." "Come back more often." "You know you are always welcome, here." "Didier..." "I mean Olivier." "Do you like lollipops?" "Henri, you know he's too old for lollipops." " I still suck on them." "You like mint?" " Yes, uncle." " Thank you." " See you later." "Come in, dear Virginie, come in." "I would like you to meet Julienne, my goddaughter." "Julienne, please inform Marceau that Virginie has arrived." "How is Marceau?" "He's well, a bit tired." "His studies can be strenuous." "Right." "I will show you the things I have set aside for Olivier." "Take whatever you want." "I'll give the rest to a goodwill cause." "Ah, here is Marceau." " You remember your cousin Marceau, Olivier?" " Greetings, old chap." " Hello, Virginie." " How do you do?" " Very well." "Tomorrow I leave for the sanatorium." " Marceau, please, not now." "Listen, mother." "I have tuberculosis." "Let's not turn it into a state secret." "I will have the best doctors, the best care, and will return cured." "You said so yourself." "I'm so sorry, Marceau, really I am." "You couldn't be more wrong." "I have total faith." "You're the one who's taking the risk by talking to me, I could contaminate you." "That's enough, Marceau, you're not funny." "You'd be better off playing a duet with Julienne." "Your wishes are my command, mother." " May I watch them play?" " But of course, my lad." "Thank you, Blanche." "I was planning on telling you, Virginie." " But we only recently found out." " It must be really hard on you." "I understand your concerns, Victoria." " But everything will be alright, you'll see." " Yes." "Life is unjust." "He's so bright, so athletic." "And even with all of his shots, look at the results." "With such a disease, anything can happen." "Even the worst." " That is so beautiful." " Of course, it's Chopin." " What?" " Frederic Chopin, ever heard of him?" "No worries." "Let's not tire ourselves out." "Look at that pretty proletarian face of his." "Reaching cult status." "I would prefer being stricken with tuberculosis than live poor and miserable." "You're wrong, we're not miserable!" "My apologies." "If we were miserable, I wouldn't have this Napoleon." "What do you think this is?" "How could you possibly acquire a Napoleon?" " I bet it's made of chocolate." " See for yourself!" " It's a real coin." "Who did you steal it from?" " I didn't steal it." "Someone gave it to me." " Look, mother, Olivier is basking in gold." " What is that coin?" " A Napoleon someone gave Olivier." " I'll say, that is a nice gift." " And who gave you this?" " It's monsieur..." "Monsieur?" " It's Andre Privat, that's who." " But Virginie, I don't understand..." " No, you understood very well." " I thought he was in prison, unless I'm mistaken." " He got a pardon." "He wants to get back together." " You're crazy, Virginie." "Think of the scandal, think of your son, the memory of my brother." "You have no right." "Now listen to me, Victoria, you're not going to dictate how I should live my life." "Oh please, Virginie, you can be such a small-time goddess." "Come on, Olivier, we're leaving." "Mother, don't go so fast, you have a heart condition." "Mother, wait for me!" "What happened in there!" "Why doesn't she like Privat?" "Oh, it goes back a while." "At one time, Victoria came from the same milieu." "But when she married into wealth, she started giving orders." " Milieu?" "What does that mean?" " Well, how should I put this?" "Rich people prefer living amongst rich people instead of the poor." "And so, they form a milieu." "Likewise, the less fortunate live amongst themselves and form another milieu." " So these people never mix together?" " Yes, they sometimes do." "But it's uncommon." "You see, a person who changes milieu often forgets friends and even family." "Well, if I ever become a rich man, I'll never forget you." "I should hope not!" " Olivier, aren't you asleep yet?" " I had a nightmare." " Can I sleep with you, mother?" " You're a big boy, now." "Please, mommy." " All right, but this is the last time." " The last time, I promise." " And you must go sleep right now." " Tell me, mother..." " Is it true what you said to aunt Victoria?" " What exactly?" "That we would live with monsieur Privat." " Would you like that?" " Yes, I think so." "I really like him." "But... are you really in love with him?" " Aren't you the curious one." " It's only normal that I want to know." " But we must stay here, okay?" " Sleep, my love." "We can talk about it tomorrow." " Agreed, mama." "Good night." " Good night." "Are you cold, mother?" "Allumettes Suedoises" "Virginie." "Virginie!" " Virginie!" " What's the matter, Mrs. Chamignon?" "I don't understand." "Virginie said I could come around 8 to pick up my material." "I'm expecting the seamstress at 8:30." " That's odd, she always open at the same hour." " Morning pillows are a girl's best friend." " Virginie!" " Virginie!" "Sleeping in, this morning?" "Mrs. Chamignon is here." "Virginie!" " Virginie!" " Mother." "Mother, time to get up." "Virginie, answer us at least." "Mother, time to get up." "Olivier, are you there?" " I'm here, Madame Hacque." " And your mother, is she in?" "Yes, but she's sleeping." "Mother!" "Olivier, wake her up." "It's going on 8:30." "Mother, mother!" "I can't get her to wake up!" "Something's not right." "Let me through, let me through." "Olivier!" " Yes?" " For God's sake, open the door!" " Well, what are you waiting for?" " I'm coming." "Hurry, open up!" " What are you up to?" "Where's your mother?" " Over there, in bed." " No." "No Olivier, stay here." " But..." "Stay with madame Chamignon." "She'll take care of you." "Stay put." " What's going on?" " They're trying to wake her up." "Olivier..." "Mother... mother..." "Mother, mother!" " Come along, Olivier." " No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" " No!" " Come on, get up." "Stop it!" "Calm down, Olivier." "No!" "Olivier, look at me." "Come to your senses." " No!" "I don't want him to touch her!" " Olivier, leave the room." "That's it, come with me." "It's nothing." "Now everybody go home." "Everything's fine." "Come on, Olivier." "We'll go over to your cousin Elodie, okay?" "She'll take good care of you." "You'll see." "No you don't." "Come on, Olivier." "It's a bit cold this morning, right?" "Let's get you some hot chocolate." "A nice cup of chocolate." "That'll do you good." "You do like chocolate, I hope." "Olivier, you should drink it while it's hot." "I've consulted my lawyer, Elodie." "He recommends sealing the door and not sell the store until after the burial." "Do whatever you like, Victoria." "My main concern is Olivier's fate." "It would be best for him to stay with you until the family counsel." "My house is so small, we don't have any room." "It's only for a short time." "It would be rather awkward to take him away from his milieu so soon." "We couldn't get a wreath, so we picked flowers from the Hill." " Stay with me, David." " But I'm not family." "I beg you, stay with me, or I'd feel so alone." "Alright." "You know I'll always be there for you." "We'll wind up being late at the train station." "My god, this wake is dragging on." " Virginie was well liked in this neighbourhood." " Perhaps." "Most merchants are." "Finally." "I thought this would never end." "Who's that kid?" "He's Olivier's best friend." "Olivier..." "Kiss your mother one last time." " Go on, Olivier, kiss your mother." " I can't." "No!" " Your aunt is right." "Kiss your mother goodbye." " No!" "Why don't you leave him alone?" "Don't you see he's grieving?" " Thank you, Victor." " Good day." " Good day." " How was the trip?" " Fine, thank you." " Good day..." " Good day, Victor" "Victoria, we have a problem." "I couldn't reach you in time to tell you." "What is the problem?" "Because of what happened, the priest will not give her a Christian burial." "He won't even say mass." "That's all I needed." "Decidedly, she will have dazzled us right until the end." "But I can guarantee that he will give a mass whether he likes it or not." "Virginie bears the family name." "We will not tolerate such an insult." "But what can we do." "Nothing forces him to." "We'll see about that." "Take care of the lad." "Let's discreetly discuss the matter with the others." "He mustn't find out." "Let's go, Henri." "Good day, Olivier." "I'm your uncle Victor, your father's brother." "Over there is Sangues, your ancestral roots." "This is where your father was born." "Your grandparents are expecting us." "Right over there." "Ah, Julio." "It is not a day to be proud." "We get to meet our grandson for the first time only to be united by tragedy." "You see, you think life will take it's course and everything will work out... and then one day, death comes along and tells us we're living like animals." "And that priest who won't open the doors." "He can bloody well open those doors." "I'm not going to soil his church." "I know what you're thinking." "You're wondering how you could have married a ruskie like me." "But I think we've also closed our doors on Virginie." " And my heart is troubled by it." " Here they come." " This is your grandfather, Olivier." " Good day, grandfather." "Call me grandpa, Olivio." "Isn't he the spitting image of his father?" "It's incredible." "Now kiss your grandmother." "Join me, my friend." "We'll settle this thing right now." "Victor..." "See to it that the lad stays really close to you and never gets wind of what you've learned." " Good day, Victoria." " Good day, Baptiste." "Open your doors, please." "I'm really sorry, Victoria." "I cannot open the doors because..." "I must follow orders." " Who gave those orders?" " The parish priest, of course." "Tell Father Villeneuve that I'll take this matter up with the Bishop if I have to." "Right?" "Most certainly, madame." "The bishop stated it was up to Father Villeneuve to rule according to his conscience." "In that case, inform your parish priest that I wish to speak with him." "I cannot disturb him right now, Victoria." "He's discussing matters with someone." "And whom might that be?" "I cannot tell you, you'd only get upset." "Frankly Baptiste, at the point where I am..." "Suit yourself, eventually you'll find out anyway." " Andre Privat is talking with the priest." " What!" "What is he up to?" "He has no business here." "See, I knew you would get upset." "How insulting." "Father Villeneuve won't receive me." "Instead he prefers to deal with an ex-convict." "Privat isn't crazy." "He still loved Virginie and wanted to rebuild his life with her." " What are you muttering, little Elodie?" " I'm not your little Elodie." "I'm Virginie's cousin." "And she stated very clearly these past few weeks that she had similar intentions." "And if Privat was able to forgive her, I don't see why the Church can't do likewise." "Dear mademoiselle, my hands are tied." "I'm only following orders." "Well then, let us get in." "Prepare my necessaries, Baptiste, we'll go straight to the cemetery." "Very well, Father." " You won't refuse saying mass for Virginie!" " Do not insist, Victoria." "Andre Privat convinced me to proceed without formal blessings." "Nothing forces me to, quite the contrary." "Oh God, by Whose Mercy the faithfully departed find rest." "Bless this grave and send Thy holy angels to watch over it." "And set free from all the chains of sin of Thy servant whose body is buried here, so that with all Thy saints she may rejoice in Thee forever." "Through Christ Our Lord." "Amen." "No, Olivier, you shouldn't talk with that man." " Why not, aunt." " It doesn't concern you." "That's how it is." "Tell me, Elodie." "What's that on the door?" "Well, those are seals to prevent anyone from entering." " Not even me?" " That's right." "But don't worry, Jean already got your belongings." "But why can't I go into my home?" "Why is it sealed?" "What do I know." "Talk to Victoria." "She had the notary seal the door." "Your mom didn't leave a will." "And you know the boutique partly belonged to your aunt and uncle." "And what about mother's things?" "We couldn't take them." "You've seen our house, there isn't any room." "You can get them later." "Anyway, you won't be staying with us for very long, it's for just a short while." "Short while?" "You mean I can't stay with you?" "I don't want to leave my street!" "What do you think, Olivier." "We can't keep you." "It's up to your aunt!" "But what about David and all my friends?" "What about my school?" "Listen, Olivier, it's not the time to talk about this, understood?" "Soon, your aunt Victoria will come and we'll find a solution together." "In the meantime, you'll attend your school." " So why wouldn't the parish priest say mass?" " I don't know." "I was told that is the way." "But I think the priest didn't want to." "My grandpa found it amusing because he doesn't believe in God." "But Elodie says a mass is given so that the dead are always with us." " Is that why you want a mass so much?" " Yes." "And for mother, I want an exquisite one." "With hearts and candles everywhere, and even the pipe organ." " But how will you pay for it?" " I'll find a way." "Mother always left some money in the back of the till." "The only problem is that the doors are sealed." " Don't worry, I'll take care of the seals." " Really?" "How will you manage that?" "All I need is a bit of wax and a stamp." "I'll get one from my parents." " I know how." "I saw my dad do it once." " You're a real pal, David." " Francois, you need help to take off your beret?" " No, sir." "Good morning, Olivier." "I didn't expect to see you until next week." "I preferred coming back today, sir." "Well done, Olivier." "Work is the best medicine." "Your are an example of courage for all of your classmates." "Please take your seat." " Olivier, Olivier!" " Well it's about time." " What took you so long?" " I had to wait for my parents to fall asleep." "And your cousins didn't see you go out?" "They don't care." "It gives them a chance to do the thing." " Thing?" "What thing?" " Well, they want to have a baby." " You have the stuff?" " Yes, I've got it." "While I work on the seal, you stand watch in case someone comes." "Okay." " Olivier, I got it." " Here, take this David." "Okay." "Go, go." "Olivier..." "Olivier, hurry up, we don't want to get caught." "What are you doing?" "David..." "Swear you'll never leave me." " Swear it." " I swear, Olivier." "You're probably wondering about the make-up, don't I look like an auntie." "Let's get out before we get caught." "You have the dough?" "Sorry, I didn't even look." "Shit, only one franc." "My aunt must have found the stash." "I knew it." "She was poking around for hours." " What a bummer." " I know." "Now how am I going to pay for mother's mass?" " I have an idea." " What?" "Tell me." "I'll tell you later." "First I must find Bougras." "Let's go, you will get your wish." "Gather up, gather up." "Ladies and gentlemen, lasses and lads." "Nannies and kiddies, Come one, come all..." "We have before us the orphans of Montmartre." "Please salute the crowd, my children." "By donating a few coins you're are performing a good deed." "They're counting on your generosity." "They are not scamps." "They've prepared this little sideshow." "We have dishes for you and everything must go." "All dishes must go." "If not, this fate awaits them!" "Attention, we will now prepare a lot of 6 plates. 6 plates, children. 6 plates." "6 plates!" "Now 6 cups, 6 cups." "Let's not forget the saucers!" "And now the milk pot." "My lady, you are interested?" "And some bowls please, some bowls." "And because I'm a very generous man, I have a special offer." "This lot is generous at 15 francs, only 15 francs!" "Who will give me 15 francs?" "Madame, madame, madame." "No takers?" "I'm appalled." "I sense I'm reaching a breaking point." "Ah, you're forcing me to break some dishes." "I will break this plate on my own poor head." "Stop it." "I will take the lot." "Give it me." "Olivier, I want you to take over for me." "I must go to the flea market and pay the lady who sold me these." "So, sell high." "If they won't buy, break a few." "Works every time." "You'll see." "Your mom will get a spine-tingling mass." "55,50... 56 57,20... 57,40" "57,90... 58,10 58,30 and 58,50!" " This is outstanding, Olivier." " Thanks a lot, guys." " That's street life, kid." " One for all, all for one!" "If there's any left, we can buy candy." "Yes, that's what mom would have done." "I'd like some sweets right now." " We'll see." " Thanks, guys." "Thanks, David, it was a brilliant idea." "Lopez, you steal the stash from Loulou and hide it in a safe place." "Me and Maginot, we'll take Capedeverre." "All right, we'll kick their butt." "Stick it to Lopez." " Are you ready?" " Yep." "...yeah, the money just kept pouring in..." "Heads up!" "The riffraff are here!" "Let's get'em!" "Hey guys, I've got the loot!" " Riri!" "Take the stash!" " I've got it, I've got it!" " Run, Riri, run!" " Don't worry, I've got it!" "I'm coming, I'm coming!" "Leave me alone, riffraff!" "Riri, toss it over!" "Don't do it, stop, stop." "Out of the way, Châteauneuf!" "Father!" "Help!" "Father." "Help, Father." "Father, father." "They want to steal the money." "Oh you blasphemous rascals." "Have you no shame?" "You mean-spirited hooligans!" "Stealing from the poor." " Mr sexton." " Yes Father." " Throw this vermin out!" " Yes, Father." "Bunch of ruffian scapegraces!" "Unbelievable..." "Have you any idea of what you just did?" "This is a church!" " Thank you, child, you've done a good deed." " But it's my money in there!" "They wanted to steal it." "There's 58,30 francs in there!" "The paths of the Lord are impenetrable my child." "The poor in my parish will appreciate the offering." " Please Father, this money was for my mother." " What are you saying, child?" "She's dead." "I want you to say a mass for her." "A real nice mass." "The most beautiful mass ever." " Want me to kick them out?" " No, let'em be, we better not get involved." "But what if they start thrashing the place?" "Dear Lord," "We are gathered here today to honor the memory of Virginie Châteauneuf." "Thy servant that Thou has called back to Thee... these past few days." "We implore Thee to welcome her at Thy table... alongside Thy saints and angels... so that she may taste forever..." "Eternal Life as Thou has promised." " How did you know about the mass?" " After work I saw Bougras and David on the steps." " Thanks for coming." " You know, I really liked your mom." "I would have liked to dress more appropriately." "I'm glad you didn't." "The show wouldn't have been as exciting." "Châteauneuf." "Sorry, buddy." "We didn't know the money was for your mother." " Yeah, right." " I swear it." "We never would have been so cruel." " I know." " Anyway, the mass was really beautiful." "And what I said about her that day." "Well, I was a real bastard." "Let's forget it, Grain de Sel." "I'm happy you came." "And seeing you in Church, we thought it was time for peace between us." "What can we do, now we're no longer at war?" "We can always play during recess." "In the meantime, let's go tease some other losers." "Olivier, your mother would be really proud." " I agree." "You're a good little boy, Olivier." " Off you go then, back to school." "It's true, this mass was nice." "It's a bit like going into my synagog." "By the way, don't tell my mother I went inside a church, it would get her all upset." "No problem, my friend." "Come on." "David, say something!" "I told you." "I was sure it would turn dramatic." "It's not dramatic." "Feeling sad is normal." "It'll pass." "We should have made sure they were better prepared." "We can't leave, papa." "It's not possible." "Staying here isn't possible, David." "All I have are debts." "If we stay, it'll mean ruin and misery." "In New York I'll have a real job." " Samuel makes at least 1,000 suits per month." " No, I don't want to leave." "I don't want to leave." "I promised Olivier I would never leave him." " But he'll understand we don't have a choice." " Can't you understand that I can't abandon him?" " When did you say we would leave?" " In 2 weeks." " We embark at Le Havre on the Graceful Beauty." " I only have 2 weeks left with Olivier..." "Your mother and I were thinking." "If you like, he could sleep over." "Oh yes!" "Adding nights would be like giving us an extra 2 weeks." " I'll go see Elodie." "It will be a good time to announce our departure." " No!" "Let me do it." "Our last moments together will be too sad." "I want to tell him myself." "Did they say anything at Elodie's?" "No, on the contrary." "They're really glad I'm spending nights, here." "That way, they can have more fun together." "Sometimes, I can hear them at night." "It's so loud it wakes me up!" "You're hurting me, You're hurting me!" " That's odd!" "Is it supposed to hurt?" " How should I know?" "That's hilarious." "Your schlong looks different than mine." " Ah!" "That's because I'm Jewish." " Why is that." "Jews are not like us?" "Yes, but as a baby, we get cut." " It's a rabbi who cuts it off." " Ah." "That's why we call Jews clip-tips." " It must really hurt!" " I can't remember." "I was just a baby." " Why do you do it?" " It's an old tradition." "And it's more hygienic." "Why am I not Jewish?" "I don't know." "In France, most people are Catholic." "In the end you're better off being Jewish." " Good night, children." " Good night, madame." " Good night, mama." " Now turn off the lights, okay?" " Yes, mama." " Madame, I wanted to thank you again." " Olivier, don't mention it." "This is your home." "Now sleep well, boys." " You're studying English now!" " Yes, it's to prepare for next year." "You're pretty smart." "You're already into next year's studies." " When you go back to school, no more Gastounet." " Yeah, he's such an old fart." "You know..." "I'm really glad we're together." "Esther, our son is first of his class in all subjects this month." "Can you imagine?" "Come my dear David." "Let me give you a kiss." "I'm so proud of you." "You shine!" "Say, Mr. Zober... should I get my weiner cut like David's?" "I might shine just as much." "No, no." "It's not your weiner that makes you intelligent." " Now David, go show your report card to Kapalsky." " The grocer?" "Whatever for?" "He will give you something." "You are the pride of our community, it's our tradition." " But papa, it will make me look pretentious." " Not at all!" "I'll show him for you." "Come on!" "Come on!" " What will those studies bring him in America?" " He may adapt much faster than us." "Poor little Olivier." "He'll be even sadder." "Has he told him, yet?" "No, not yet." "Come on!" "What can I do for you, children?" " Tell him." " No, you tell him." "Tell him." " I'm listening." " Well, here goes." "My buddy David, he's first of his class in all subjects and I want to show you his report card." "Ah... alright, let me see." "But you're not first in all subjects." "You're only 4th in physical education." "I suppose it'll do." "Actually, it's excellent." "Look, papa." "Look what Mr. Kupalsky gave us." "See, I told you he'd give you a little something." "Good choice." " Your mother can cook a carp like no other." " Yep, but that one is a bit small." "We could keep it in the basin for a while and fatten it up." "What basin?" "Well the one on the Hill." "Apparently it's been abandoned." " Not a bad idea, we'll have a better meal." " I suppose so." " Châteauneuf, the cobbler wants to talk to you." " Olivier, I've got something for you." " What is it?" " Shoes your mother gave me to repair before she..." " Before she..." " Before she died." "The one with the broken heel, right?" " How much do I owe you?" " Nothing at all, my son." "Thank you." "Thank you so much!" "That's nice of you." "(singing a love song)" "Coming, coming..." "Coming..." "It's you, Olivier." " Good evening, mademoiselle." " Mademoiselle, you can call me Mado." " I have a gift for you, mad..." "I mean Mado." " A gift?" "What for?" "Today was... would have been mother's birthday." "And I always gave her something." "So, if you don't mind..." "How sweet of you." "Oh, they're magnificent." " You must be crazy, Olivier." " No, no." "They used to be mother's." "They were my favorites." " I hope they'll fit." " I'm trying them on right now." "They are perfect." "It's really a nice gift, Olivier." " Would you like a cup of tea?" " I don't know, I've never had tea." "Really?" "Well, no time like the first time." "And if that's the case, you must make a wish." " So, you've made your wish?" " Yes, I did." "Have a seat." " So, is it good?" " Not bad... it has a funny taste." " Tell me, Mado." " Yes." "Do you think mother can see me?" "Elodie says she's in Heaven and watches over me all the time." "But Bougras says these are stories to put us asleep." "I'm not exactly in the best position to answer your question, Olivier." "But I believe if you think about it with your heart," " all of your heart, it will come true." " Then I will give it a try." " And are your parents still living?" " I don't know." "Really?" "I've never known my parents." "I was an abandoned child." " I'm sorry." " No worries." " But then, who took care of you?" " Everyone, no one." " Eventually I ran away at 16 and came to Paris." " So we're alike you and I." "That's right, we are." " Something wrong, Olivier?" "You're blushing." " Must be the tea." " See what I see?" " I'd like to see with my hands, not just my eyes." " So, how is the chow coming along?" " What do you think, Anatole?" " Hold on... wait, wait." " There we go." "Now, let's see." " 4.5 kilos." " 4 kilos, that's a good size." "Move over, David." "I must go now." "My dad will scold me if I don't return this scale soon." "Thanks, Ernest." "See you." " Hey, you won't forget my homework?" " No, that's a promise." " I'll help you out this evening." " See you later." "Can't wait for this evening." " My folks will have a feast." " You're not going to eat it?" " You're not going to start with your carp!" " Exactly." "I don't want anyone to eat my carp." " I can't help it." "It's one of our traditions." " If you do that, we're no longer friends." "Here we go, stuffed carp." " Looks fabulous." " You're in for a treat, Olivier." "Okay, give me your plate." " There we go." "Isaac, your turn." " Voila." " So, Olivier, how do you like it?" " Yes, it's delicious, really delicious." "Congratulations, Mrs. Zober You make the best carp in all of Paris." " What's with them?" " Nothing at all." "Kids giggle all the time." "For no reason at all." " Good night, mother." " Good night, son." " Good night, Mrs Zober." " Good night, Olivier." "Thanks again for that delicious carp." "You're right, it was really delicious." "You're a great cook." "What's the matter with you?" "Was it something I said?" "Shall I tell him?" "It wasn't a carp." " What's David talking about?" " He's right." "It was a Zander." "I spiced it up to make it more palatable." "But I don't understand." "Why didn't we eat your carp, David?" "It was no longer possible, papa." "It's now the gang's favorite pet." "It would be too sad." " Olivier also knew it wasn't a carp?" " Well of course!" "You made a fool out of me in front of him?" "I feel like an idiot, right now." "All because of a carp." "Such nonsense." "And what will you do with your pet when you leave for America?" "America?" "You're going to America?" "I wanted to tell you earlier, but couldn't." "When are you leaving?" " In 5 days, for New York." " For a long time?" "For always." "You lied to me the other night about your English book." "You lied to me, that's disgusting!" " You would just have left without telling me!" " No, I swear." "I wanted to wait as long as possible to ease your sorrow." "We don't have much of a choice, Olivier." "We're lucky to have uncle Samuel over there." "Here, we only have debts." "In New York a real job is waiting for me." "If you were really my friend, you'd have told me sooner." "You swore you'd never leave me!" "I never want to see you again." " I don't give a damn that you go." " Olivier!" "It's your fault, papa." "I was going to tell him tomorrow." "It was up to me." "Olivier..." "I had a hunch I'd find you here." " Forgive me, it's not entirely my fault." " I know." " You mad at me?" "Look." "I got a postcard from monsieur Privat." "My mother wanted to live with him." "He invited us to come this summer." "We could have all lived together." "There might still be hope." "We might meet up again some day." "I envy you." "America sounds so wonderful." " What shall we do with it?" " Don't worry." " We need to give it a name." " Any idea?" " Annie Carpie?" " No, that's 2 names." "How about Carpfart?" "He, he that's too funny." " No, we need something better." " Why not carp, carp..." "CarpPet!" " CarpPet, that's a great name." " CarpPet!" "Yoohoo." "CarpPet." "This is where we part, CarpPet." "Good luck." "I also would like to go on a journey." " Here comes monsieur Bougras." " I looked everywhere!" "At the church, the Transat, the grocery store and the Hill." "I combed the entire area." "A real mystery, he completely vanished." " And all of his clothes are gone." " My God, that can't be happening." " Did you see him this morning?" " Yes, he left for school as usual." "But nobody saw him there." " God, I don't like this one bit." " Me neither." "He didn't say anything this morning?" "No, nothing." "I found his satchel a bit bulky." "But he said he was taking all of his school things to class." "Yep, it was his first day back to school." " And you, David... didn't he say anything to you?" " No, he swore he'd come." " What did he promise you?" " He promised he'd come to say goodbye." "David we must leave!" "Or else we'll miss the train." "No, mama." "We must wait for him." "He could show up any second." " We really should go, madame." " Come on, come on." "We must go." " Come on David." " That's enough David, we can't miss our trip." " Stop it right now and get in the car." " No, I don't want to!" "You must, you must." "Olivier!" "I don't want to leave." "Olivier!" "Olivier!" "Olivier!" "Olivier!" "English subtitles by VitaminSea Timings and editing by Subransu"

"Another wonderful routine, Jester." "I'm not seeing it, baby." "Perhaps his humor flies over your head, then." "Honestly, Gareth, I don't know what she sees in him." "No idea, My King." "Well, I will go and compliment the Jester." "And while I do, husband, perhaps you can make some progress convincing the king and queen of Valencia" " to tell you where their jewel is hidden." " I've tried everything." "Mm-hmm." "Galavant would not stand for this." " What did you just say?" " I said," ""Galavant would not have stood for this"!" "See, that's what I thought you said."

"You have to understand that." "Oh, it's fine, My King." "Don't worry about it." "Oh, Gareth, I try so hard to please her."

"Come on." "You're embarrassing yourself." "I'm embarrassing yourself." "Can I buy you a drink?" "No!" "Good." "You can buy me one." "Now, where were we?" "Two months ago, you were imprisoned in a cellar." "Then what happened?" "Ah, here we are." "Regular spots, please." "Thank you very much." "I believe you know where to stand." "Now, let me ask you one question." "I've tried to be kind to you." "Have I not?" "You pillaged our peaceful kingdom, killed half our army." "But I haven't killed you." "I mean, think about it." "I've killed a massive amount of people this week, but I haven't killed... kil..." "Gareth, I have a horribly scratchy throat." "A bit of tea, please." "Tea for the king!" "I'm not really a yeller." "I've been fighting a bug since the invasion." "I swear, it's the plague." "It's not the plague." " Feel it, though... does that feel lumpy?" " No." " You didn't even feel it." " We beg you to show mercy to our people," " good King Richard." " We've done this." "Look, here's the thing." "My wife really wants that jewel of yours." "Now, I know, at times, she can come off as a bit, um..." "What's the word?" " Evil." " Cruel." "No, that's not it." "It's more..." " Sadistic." " Vicious." "You know, I think you really just have to get to know her." "She can be a" " Would you stop it, Gareth?" "!" " All right." "How's about this?" "You tell me where the jewelry is, we'll pack up shop." "We'll stop the pillaging and the killing, yada, yada, and everyone's happy." "The Jewel of Valencia is priceless." "I know." "I know." "It is a symbol of Valencia." "It has belonged not to us, but to our people for thousands of years." "Totally understand." "Totally empathize." " Can I have it?" " Never!" "This is so not how I wanted to do this!" "It is about to get very messy in here." "Ooh, my tea!" "Thank you very much." "Mm." "Is there lemon in there?" "Yes..." "My King?" "Some unsqueezed lemons." "Well, it's delightful." "Just delightful." "Kill the king, make her watch." "No!" "Mmm." "Mmm." "Sid, fetch me a drink." "When he tells me to fetch, those are my favorite moments." "Thanks again for the drink." "Drinks." "Right." "Thanks again." "My father used to tell stories of you," " of your skill in battle..." " Mm-hmm." "Mm-hmm." "Your heroism, of your goodness." "What happened to you?" "I mean... eh." "Oh, come on." "I've come a long way." "Surely I deserve some kind of backstory." "All right." "My parents were people of massive, massive appetites." "They loved everything... they loved food." "They loved drink." "But most of all, they loved each other." "Ironically, they also hated each other." "And they fought violently every day." "Didn't have time for much else, in fact." "So... at the age of 8, I swore off love." "Devoted myself to doing something better with my life than wasting it on love." "So I read, I trained, I learned languages." "All the time other young men chasing spent chasing girls," "I spent that time bettering myself." "But I come from a long family of lovers." "You can't fight genetics." "So when it inevitably happened..." " When I fell..." " You fell hard." "I fell hard." "And her?" "She fell softer..." "As it turns out." "Look, I'd love to help." "Really, I would." "But I'm..." "I'm sort of out of the whole "damsel in distress" business at the moment, so..." "I listened from below as he ordered my parents to their death." "And after coming all this way, your advice is for me to just turn a blind eye and watch king Richard destroy my kingdom and everyone I've ever loved?" "What?" "Did you just say..." ""King Richard"?" "Oh, come here!" " Isabella." " Father!" "Ah!" "Maybe this is what we're looking for." "Ooh, sweet!" "Any luck on the Jewel, Richard?" "Well, actually, my dear..." "I know." "I know." "You're working on it." "Well, why don't you stop working on it, start acting like Galavant, and do something already?" "Will do, My Queen." "I swear, if I have to hear the name Galavant one more time." "If only there was some way that I could..." "Ah." "She's a pretty young thing, isn't she, Gareth?" " A bit plump for my liking." " Plump?" "The girl is 100 pounds soaking wet." "I know, but I like skinny." "Like, really unhealthy skinny." "You love your parents, don't you, my dear?" "Leave my parents be." "Leave them be, or so help me, I will kill you myself." "And spunky." "Ha!" "More like "chunky"!" "Just stop it, Gareth!" "I am trying to do something here!" "Fine." "If we can't beat Galavant on his turf, we'll bring him to our own." "If you want your parents to live, you will travel to find Galavant." "You tell him that I, king Richard, have invaded your kingdom." "Offer to pay him with the jewel." "When that doesn't work, I want you to tell him this..." "I feel like you should be writing this down." " I will remember it." " It's a bit long." "I'd really just be more comfortable if you wrote it down." " I will remember it." " Like a steel trap." " Always had a wonderful memory, this one." " Fine." "You tell him that king Richard is a..." "Is a cruel and vicious man." "Four months I hid in that cellar." "He and his queen slept right above me." "And you tell him that every night, you would listen while he screamed at his queen..." "Screamed at his queen, and each night I would be left with only the sobs of that poor woman." "Every night, she would cry out, "I made the wrong choice." "I'm so sorry, Gals." "I'm so sorry."" "She must have left some maidens back home." "Never knew what she meant." ""I'm so sorry, Gals."" "I love you, Gal." ""I'm so sorry, Gal."" "She was saying, "I'm so sorry, Gal."" "We leave tomorrow at sunrise." "Pack lightly." "There's a long journey ahead." "♪ And so begins our plot ♪" "♪ Of which there's quite a lot ♪" "♪ With Isabella stringing Galavant ♪" "♪ And with the evil king prepared to do his thing ♪" "♪ And with the queen still pretty sure he can't ♪" "♪ And, with Gal about to start his journey ♪" "♪ One both twisty and immensely turny ♪" "♪ Oh, it's lots of plot, we know!"

"The final surge!" "Having learned of warlord Poggle the Lesser's plot to rebuild a Separatist droid foundry on Geonosis," "Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, prepare to assault this heavily fortified installation." "Their mission, destroy the factory at all cost." "Anticipating stiff resistance," "Republic commanders send Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and her Padawan, Barriss Offee, to reinforce the attack." "But time runs short for our intrepid heroes as the dreaded droid mill nears completion." "Captain, the only safe landing zone is south of Skywalker's position." "Yes, General." "Barriss, I assume you've made the necessary preparations." "Precisely as you instructed, Master." "Buckle your belts and check your cells, soldiers." "We're going in." "This bridge is our first waypoint." "Focus your fire on the gun emplacements, here and here, because it's only..." "Because it's only after we neutralize the guns" " that we can push for the factory." " I was..." "Yes, we can push for the factory." "Now, expect stiff resistance from..." "And don't forget to top off your energy cells and ration packs." "Once we leave, there'll be no resupply." "Anything else, Ahsoka?" "No." "I think you've pretty much covered everything in my briefing." "Very well." "Squad dismissed." "Okay." "What's next?" "You know, Master, my briefings might go better if you didn't interrupt me every time I tried to..." "I wasn't interrupting." "I was trying to help you." "Which I would appreciate, if you didn't interrupt me to do it." "I just think maybe you don't trust me to give the briefing." "It's not about trust." "It's about getting the job done right." "So you don't trust me to get the job done right!" "I knew it!" " Snips, I never said..." " No." "No, it's okay." "I understand." "I'm the Padawan, you're the Master." "Good day, General." "Skywalker's waiting for you." "At it again, are they?" "Again, Master?" "Let's just say that they have a penchant for playing loose" " with regulations and rules of command." "Yeah, but when I say it," " they actually listen to me." " Well, if you don't trust me," "we do have a factory to destroy." "Well, Barriss?" "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" "Padawan learner Barriss Offee at your service." "Glad to meet you." "I'm Ahsoka." "It's good to see both of you again." "I wish it was under more peaceful circumstances." "A frontal assault is risky." "Our losses will be high." "But not as high as they'll be if that factory comes online." "Indeed, but there is an alternative." "Every Geonosian building has a series of catacombs beneath it that run deep underground." "Some of the tunnels are close enough to this cliff wall so that you could cut a hole and make an entry point." "Once inside, we could find the main reactor, plant the explosives and blow the factory inside out." "Well, looks like a good way to get lost, if you ask me." "For the unprepared, perhaps." "But I have instructed Barriss to memorize the labyrinth, all 200 junctions." "You always were thorough." "It pays for one to be prepared." "Right, Barriss?" "Especially when other people's lives depend on your success." "How do we keep the Geonosians occupied while someone else is setting the bombs?" "Good point, Snips." "If whoever is going in there is going to be successful, we'll need to create a diversion." "Precisely." "That task will be carried out by you and I, Skywalker, while the destruction of the factory falls to the Padawans." "Now, hold on." "Who decided that?" "Walking into that factory could be suicide." "Not if you and I are successful holding Poggle's attention at the bridge." "Master, I can do this!" "I've had riskier assignments." "But unlike Barriss, you aren't prepared for this mission." "Not to worry, my Padawan is reliable." "She can lead them both through the maze." "We'll be in and out, Master." "See?" "Dependable Barriss will get us through." "Don't worry, Master." "As you well know, I can follow orders." "It's decided, then." "I guess it is." "We'll monitor your progress on these chronometers." "Synchronize on my mark." "Three, two, one, mark." "Let's get going." "After you, Barriss." "You feel Ahsoka is not up to the task?" " I never said that." " What is it, then?" "Nothing." "Let's prepare the men." "We'll have to make a bold move if we're to draw them out of the factory and keep their attention on us and not the Padawans." "The best way to do that is to march our troops straight up the middle, parade style." "They can't resist that." " With no cover?" " Well, we have to make it tempting." "The factory is operating at 50% production capacity." "We have 10 garrisons of new droids ready to deploy." "No, the Super Tanks are not ready, but when they are, the Republic forces will be routed." "They have no weapon that can penetrate its heavy armor." "Here come the droids." "Everybody steady." "Steady." "Keep marching." "I hope the Padawans have made it past the bridge by now." " That looks like a lot of droids." " Well, it is a droid factory." "As long as we can destroy them faster than they can make them, we'll come out on top." "I love your simple logic, Skywalker." "Here we go!" "Let them fall into the trap." "You may now commence attack." " Nice work." "Well, here goes nothing." " I should go in first." "I know the way." "Be my guest." " They're sleeping." " We have to find another way." "We don't have time." "This direction is the fastest." " Maybe you're wrong." " Trust me." "Ahsoka." "Ahsoka!" "They should have entered the catacombs by now." "I sure hope they're not lost down there." "Left at the next junction." "Dead end." " If we make a wrong turn, we may never find our way out." "You do remember the way, don't you?" "Of course I do." "It's not left." "It's up." "It's this way." " Rex!" "A little help here." "Get up there, trooper!" "My lord, I beg you to let us use the secret weapons." "We have 20 units ready now and many more on the way." "Thank you, my lord." "Deploy the Super Tanks." "Attack formation." " Looks like the Separatists have a new toy." " Rex, pick your targets." "Yes, sir." "Elevation 427." "Whoa!" "That's a lot of droids." "Come on." "The main control room is this way." "Steady." "Steady." "Fire!" "Our shields are holding." "They can't touch us." "That's a relief." " Sir, nothing could withstand that." " They must be ray-shielded." "This is it." "We're here." "Two Jedi in the control room?" "That is impossible." "How could they have gotten past security?" "And now, we make ourselves scarce." "Green light." "The bombs are active!" " The Padawans did it." " And just in time!" "Fire!" "Get down!" "You heard His Highness." "Collect their pathetic little bombs, then we will kill them." "See if your stupid tank can take this." "Fool." "The Super Tank is impervious to all weapons." "Rex!" "Tell the men to fall back!" "But, sir, you can't be asking us to turn tail and run!" "I'm not asking you to run, Rex." "I wanna draw those tanks out onto the bridge." " I see what you have in mind." " I always come prepared, Master." "Let's go!" "The bombs!" "Stupid green bugger!" "Fall back!" "Fall back!" "Give everything you've got." " Uh-oh." " Roger, roger." "Where are they?" "Those bombs are gonna go off any second now." "Rex, any sign of Ahsoka or Barriss on your side?" "No, sir." "But this place is getting ready to blow." "The evacuation ships are arriving." "I suggest you get on one." " Not without Ahsoka." " My Padawan will not fail." "Ahsoka, can you hear me?" "Ahsoka, where are you?" "Where did she go?" " The bugs took the bombs." " What are we gonna do now?" "I don't know what to do without the bombs." "Well, this tank could destroy the power generator," " and probably us along with it." " I guess that's our only choice." "Master, can you hear me?" " Master!" " Ahsoka, set off the bombs!" "We're trapped!" " I'm sorry, Master." "We can't make it out." "Can't make it out?" " Ahsoka, wait!" "Fire!" "Get down!" "Get down!" "Ahsoka." "Ahsoka!" "Can you hear me?" "Come in!" " Master Luminara, don't worry." " Be at ease, Skywalker." "At ease?" "We need to act now!" "Ahsoka and Barriss may still be alive down there." "There's not enough time." "I sense them drifting away." "No." "We'll get them out." "The tank lifters are here to move the debris as ordered, General." "Get to it, Rex." " How deep do you think we're buried?" " It's probably best not to think about it." "Hand me that power cell, would you?" " Thanks." "Mind holding the light?" " Whatever you're doing, I hope it works, because I'd sure rather have died fighting up there than starve to death down here." "Don't worry, we'll run out of air long before we starve." "That's a comforting thought." "Thanks." "Master Skywalker has taught me a trick or two." "I think I can get this communicator working." "We cannot abandon our Padawans." "You misjudge me." "I, too, care for my apprentice." " But if their time has come..." " I refuse to let Ahsoka die." "She will find a way out." "If my Padawan has perished, I will mourn her, but I will celebrate her as well through her memory." "Well, I still plan on celebrating this victory with my Padawan, in person." "What happens to us now doesn't matter." "By destroying this factory," " we've saved countless lives elsewhere." " Well, I'm about to save two more." "Wait." "I'm picking up a pulse on Ahsoka's comm channel." "It's coming from over there." "Master, I know you're up there, and I know you're looking for me." " I'll move the heavy machinery over, sir." " No time!" "Someone's digging!" " Barriss!" "Ahsoka!" "I knew they were still alive." "I told you we shouldn't give up on them." "It's not that I gave up, Skywalker, but unlike you, when the time comes, I am prepared to let my student go." "Can you say the same?" " I knew you'd come looking for me." " I never doubted you for a second." " Padawan, you did well." " Thank you, Master." "But if it weren't for Ahsoka, we'd still be down there." "Indeed." "Your Master never lost faith in you."

"Show me where you put those girls, huh?" "Where are those girls?" "Hey, give me the flashlight." "Sir." "Show me where those girls -- they in the woods?" "You put them in the woods?" "Where did you put those girls?" "You hear me?" "!" "What the fuck is this guy on?" "He's high on something." "Put this fucking guy in the car." "Get him in the car." "Put him in the fucking car!" "Walk!" "Let's go." "Hey, call psp, tell 'em to send their scent dogs." "And seal off the whole area." "The entrance, all of it." "Right." "You, come with me." "No, they weren't playing on your rv?" "No." "Okay, take a look at 'em again." "Don't recognize these girls?" "I didn't see them." "May I sit down?" "What do you do in the rv?" "Answer my question." "Sleep there." "You sleep in there?" "You were sleeping out there?" "In the day?" "Why was the rv parked outside the house?" "Hmm." "I went for a drive?" "You went for a drive?" "You weren't driving." "I know for a fact those girls were playing outside your rv." "You weren't driving." "It was parked." "Was it a special day?" "Were you planning on taking two little girls?" "No." "Have you done that before?" "No." "Did you ask them to come inside?" "No." "You ask them to come inside the rv and then you take them away?" "No." "Did you put those girls somewhere?" "May I sit down?" "Come on." "Did you put those girls somewhere?" "Please don't touch me." "I know you put those girls somewhere." "You hide 'em?" "No." "How did you hide 'em?" "Do you tie 'em up?" "Mnh-mnh." "Do you tie 'em up?" "Mnh-mnh-mnh." "Huh?" "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Look, I know you're a good guy, all right?" "I know you're a decent guy." "I'm not tryin' to tell you you're doing anything bad." "I'm just tryin' to get the right answers out of you, okay?" "The real ones." "That's all I want." "Where do you usually park your rv, Alex?" "My aunt's house." "Your aunt's house?" "She lets me park it in the backyard." "The grass don't grow back there anyway." "It was my husband's." "For sale, if you want it." "No, thanks." "Well, would you tell me what you're doin' on my property then?" "I'm just glad to know where he is." "He's always home before dark, and..." "I just don't understand." "That boy has never been in trouble, not a day in his life." "Uh, in the summertime, he sleeps out in the camper some, but..." "This time of year, he sleeps in here on the sofa bed." "That -- that's my husband." "We had a fight, jeez, five years ago." "Walked out, didn't come back." "Alex loved him like a father." "Where are Alex's real parents?" "My husband's brother and his girlfriend, they died in a car accident when Alex was about 6." "Sorry to hear that." "He doesn't have much." "What have you got?" "Well, this thing's clean." "I mean, it's filthy as shit, but we didn't find anything." "We didn't find any, uh, wool fibers, anything like that?" "The girls could be wearing some wool gloves or wool hat." "No cotton fibers?" "Well, if he was just usin' this thing to transport 'em," "I might buy that." "But if there had been a struggle," "I would have found something." "I'd start lookin' in the woods by the rest stop." "Yeah." "Half the uniformed cops in the state are doin' that right now." "When you're done with this thing, can you send a crew over to the aunt's house?" "Anna!" "Anna?" "!" "Thanks for comin'." "Franklin birch." "My wife's in here." "Honey?" "Her name's Nancy." "Detective loki is -- honey?" "These photos are better than the ones my husband gave you." "You can see her eyes more clearly." "So, did we pass?" "I'm sorry, what did you say?" "The poly thing." "The lie detector we took this morning." "Did we pass?" "Oh, yeah, yeah." "Sorry." "Yes, we appreciate your cooperation." "It's embarrassing, all the -- all this fuss." "Everyone's gonna think we're crazy when those two come out of hiding, wherever they are." "Do you have some reason to believe they ran away?" "No." "They're happy." "They must have run away." "I think they must have run away." "Right?" "Um, your police captain told me that you've solved every case that you've ever been assigned." "Is that right?" "Sorry." "I am so sorry." "Do you -- do you have children, detective?" "I'm gonna find your daughter." "We believe that they came back here after they left you at the birches' yesterday." "They were looking for Anna's red whistle." "Right." "I read your statement." "I'm detective loki." "I'm heading up the investigation into your daughter's disappearance." "Please sit down." "Uh, uh, m-my son already told you that the guy was inside the rv just watchin' 'em, right?" "We haven't found any physical evidence inside the rv." "Or his aunt's house where he lives." "Nothing?" "Alex Jones unfortunately has the I.Q. Of a 10-year-old." "There is no way that someone with the I.Q. Of a 10-year-old could abduct two girls in broad daylight and then..." "Somehow make them disappear." "Uh, well, how can he drive an rv?" "If he can't answer a question..." "Well, he has a legal Pennsylvania license." "And he ran, right?" "They said he tried to run away." "Why -- why..." "Why would he run?" "I've just spent 10 hours questioning this boy." "Okay?" "I hear what you're saying." "Uh..." "Did -- did you give him a lie detector?" "You gave us a lie detector." "Did you give him one?" "Sir, I understand what you're asking me." "Yes, we did." "We gave him a lie detector, and there is no way of " "A lie detector doesn't work if you don't understand the questions." "Well, maybe he wasn't on his own." "How could he drive an rv if he has an I.Q. Of a 10-year-old?" "Hey, we're considering all possibilities." "I don't think you are considering all possibilities." "I-I hear what you're saying." "Sir-- sir -- you listen to me." "Just shut the fuck up for a fucking second!" "This is what I'm gonna need you to do for me." "I need you to calm down." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Please listen to me for a second." "Mr. Dover, I understand this is an incredibly hard time." "But I have every uniformed police officer in this state looking for Anna." "I don't understand what any of this means." "They said he ran." "They said he tried to get away." "I don't understand why he would try to run away." "We're considering all possibilities, Mr. Dover." "I hear what you're saying." "I'm not crossing anybody off my list." "Just..." "Let me do my job." "Hey!" "Detective!" "Oh, shit." "Hey!" "He stays in custody until my daughter's found, right?" "Right?" "We have a 48-hour hold on him that ends tomorrow unless we bring charges." "Well, charge him with something." "Charge him." "Mr. Dover, I understand what you're -- detective, detective, two little girls have got to be worth whatever little rule you've got to break to keep that asshole in custody." "Now, I know you can't promise me anything." "I understand that." "But I'm asking you to be 100% sure." "Thank you." "I appreciate it." "So you're positive he's innocent, but you want to keep holding him?" "Anna Dover's father was on my ass this morning." "I-I get it." "I understand." "But it's not gonna happen." "I was asking for one more day." "Fuck you." "No, no." "You find his daughter, he'll forgive you." "You don't, he's gonna hate you anyway." "So what's next?" "I'm knockin' on doors all night." "Yeah, well, you're comin' up on 24 hours missing, and you have exactly shit." "No, I've got nine level-three sex offenders living within a 10-mile radius of Fairmont circle." "So if you don't mind..." "Then go." "Yeah." "Go." "It's right here." "Look, I-I'm staying straight, okay?" "Well, hey, look." "Look, I know you're -- you like yourself some German porn, huh?" "Look, I was..." "Father!" "Open up!" "It's the police!" "Father!" "Father." "You mind if I take a look around?" "Fuckin' drunk." "What the fuck?" "Whoa." "Fuck." "Aye." "Fuck." "Oh!" "Please, God!" "God!" "What's the name of your buddy down there, huh?" "What's the name, huh?" "I don't know his name." "You don't know his name?" "I don't know his name." "Hey, you know what?" "I spent six years in huntington boys' home, father." "You know the huntington boys' home, right?" "Huh?" "Hurting a fuck like you'd be a real treat for me." "Why don't you tell me his fuckin' name?" "He didn't tell me his name." "He came to me for confession." "He said he'd killed 16 children." "He bragged about it." "I convinced him to come back here." "He said he'd kill more." "16 children, huh?" "Let's go, you fucking chicken-hawk!" "Hey." "They're letting him go." "What?" "The man." "The police said they're letting him go today." "O-okay." "I'll take care of it." "Dad?" "Keep searching." "Where are you goin'?" "!" "He wants you to write your whole name." "That's good." "Mm-hmm." "Good job." "Now you give it to the man." "All right." "Come on." "I don't want you minding these people out here." "Don't talk to them." "You've got nothing to say to them." "Come on." "WoCome on, Alex." "You took those kids, didn't you?" "Sir -- I just want to talk." "He's a free man, I'm a free man!" "Hey!" "Tell me what you did with them!" "Tell me!" "They didn't cry until I left them." "What did you say?" "What did you say?" "!" "Whoa, no, no!" "Fuckin' get off him!" "God!" "Get up!" "Get him down!" "Get him down!" "Move back!" "Please, just let us go." "Thanks for nothing." "We're fine." "Thank you." "Now, I know your dad was a guard at graterford." "And I've got a daughter of my own, so we're gonna pretend this never happened." "And as for Alex Jones, he has orders not to leave the commonwealth." "What?" "Sir, I need you to go home." "All right?" "I need you to go home to your family." "What about what I just fucking told you?" "Why aren't you sending someone out to go arrest this guy?" "Tell detective loki what you just told me, and he'll definitely look into it." "Go ahead." "That asshole you promised me you'd keep in custody, right?" "And you didn't." "And right now when I grabbed him in the parking lot, he said right to my fucking face," ""they didn't cry until I left them."" "Right to my fucking face." "He -- he said that to you in the parking lot just now?" "Right now, yeah." "What did I just say?" "In the parking lot." "Before you grabbed me off him." "Did anyone else hear it besides you?" "I don't know." "It was quiet." "He -- he said it to me." "He wanted me to know." "Are you sure he said that?" "What?" "Are you sure that's what he said?" "Jesus Christ, you think I'm makin' this up?" "No." "Why would I make this up?" "Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa." "No, think about it." "Why would I make this up?" "I'm not saying that to you." "I'm just asking you a couple questions." "I will talk to him." "No, don't talk to him!" "Mr. Dover -- arrest him!" "What did I fuckin' tell you?" "What'd I tell you?" "One more day." "You sure you didn't say anything to Mr. Dover in the parking lot today?" "Anything he could have misinterpreted or...?" "I was right there." "They didn't say anything to each other." "Man just attacked the boy." "Nothing like "get away from me" or "help" or..." "Anything like that?" "No." "Can I speak to Alex alone for a minute?" "It's all right, sweetie." "I'll be right in the next room." "You love your aunt, don't you, Alex?" "Yes." "You know if you know something you're not telling us that she could go to jail for a very long time." "Do you want that for her?" "After everything she's done for you?" "No." "Mr. Dover, this is detective loki." "Have you arrested him?" "Yeah, look, I just came from Alex Jones, and he said he didn't say anything to you in the parking lot." "I pushed him pretty hard, and he didn't budge." "So, look, we can't waste any more time on this guy." "All right?" "You're gonna have to trust me." "I'll let you know if I have anything new, all right, for the -- fuckin' "a."" "The zipper on her coat was broken, and I told her it didn't matter 'cause we were just gonna go right down the street." "No, no." "Why hasn't she come home?" "It's been three days." "Why can't you make her come home?" "I don't understand." "I don't understand." "It's been too long." "Please make her come home." "Please make her..." "How many of these?" "How many of these?" "How many of these?" "I don't know!" "It's okay." "It's all right." "Just take one." "Here." "No." "I just want to sleep." "I just want to go to sleep." "You..." "You made me feel so safe." "You told us that you could protect us from everything." "Oh, God..." "I'm gonna go out and help the police." "Just keep an eye on your mother." "Your sister needs us to be brave for her." "Be brave for her." "Be a grown-up for me, okay?" "Can you do that?" "Can you do that?" "I know you're scared." "Look at me." "Come here." "I know you're scared." "It's gonna be okay." "The former is a reason why we should be very patient." "The latter why we should be very penitent when we are afflicted." "He reminds him that trouble and affliction are what we have all reason to expect in this world." "Man is brought into trouble, not as man, but as sinful man, who was in transgression." "Man born in sin and therefore born to trouble." "Come on." "Come on, Tucker." "♪ Jingle bells, Batman smells" "♪ Robin laid an egg" "♪ the Batmobile lost its wheels ♪" "♪ Joker got away, hey" "♪ jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg ♪" "♪ Jingle bells, Batman smells" "♪ Robin laid an egg" "♪ the Batmobile -- Alex." "♪ Lost its wheel..." "That song." "Where did you hear those words?" "Hmm?" "Did you bring a change of clothes like I told you?" "Yeah." "You gonna tell me why?" "It's better if I just show you." "Show me what?" "Didn't you used to live here?" "Mm-hmm." "Close the door." "Lock it." "Wow." "Oh, my God." "What -- what did you do?" "Keller, what the hell...?" "I heard him singing the same song they were singing on Thanksgiving." "Swear to God, Franklin." "The same fucking song." "And I told you what he said in the parking lot." "Then we take him to the police -- no, no, no." "The police won't do shit." "He'll just clam up and act crazy like he did last time." "Someone has to make him talk." "Someone." "Shit, man." "This -- this ain't right." "I mean, what if you're wrong?" "I'm not wrong." "But what if you are?" "What if you only heard what you wanted to hear?" "What if..." "Man, I want my daughter back as much as you do, but it ain't right." "Franklin!" "Franklin!" "We hurt him until he talks, or they're gonna die." "This ain't -- no!" "No!" "We hurt him until he talks or they're gonna die." "That's the choice." "That's the choice you have to make." "I've made my choice." "I know what I heard." "He's not a person anymore." "No, he stopped being a person when he took our daughters." "I need your help." "This is your last chance." "I know you're scared." "And I know you wanna go home." "And I don't -- I don't want to hurt you." "I don't." "I'm gonna take the tape off, and I want you to tell me where they are." "Mnh!" "Hey." "Come on." "Did you see my glasses?" "What?" "I can't see." "If you're not gonna talk, Alex, I'm gonna have to hurt you." "Tell me where they are." "Where are they?" "Tell me where they are!" "Yeah, I'm out here at a house on Fairmont circle, the house the rv was parked in front of." "It's only been on the market a couple of months." "I'm gonna track the owners down, see if they know anything." "You got any new info on that corpse we found in the priest's basement?" "No DNA, dental, or fingerprint matches." "Nothing." "Priest is sticking to the story, too." "All right." "Same person who took him took those girls." "I'm sure of it." "Wearing out the tape, I guess." "I watch it every day after breakfast." "It's the only video I have of him." "It was before your time." "26 years ago, August 19th." "I took a nap in the afternoon, and when I woke up, Barry was gone." "No one could ever tell me what happened to him." "He was playing in the front yard, just a few feet from where they say that RV was parked." "What do you think that means?" "I'm more interested in what you think that means." "I don't think we'll ever know." "It's just like Barry." "No one took them." "Nothing happened." "They're just gone." "How you doin', father?" "I'm..." "I'm -- gettin' better." "So detective chemelinski tells me that you have some specifics about the crime you claim that guy committed." "The abductor." "He was..." "Waging a war against God." "Great." "That's great." "I thought you said he had something specific." "Tell him how he took the kids." "He said... he took them in daylight." "Sometimes..." "More than one child at a time." "He said that?" "Yeah." "Did he say he was with anybody?" "He did it alone?" "He..." "He said he had a family." "That's it?" "All right." "Informative." "You said they cried when you left them." "Look at me." "You said they cried when you left them!" "You said they cried when you left them!" "Now tell me!" "Where is she?" "Hmm?" "Hmm?" "Tell me where they are!" "Just tell me." "Just tell me and I'll stop." "I'll stop as soon as you tell me." "Just..." "Just tell me where they are." "Why won't you tell me?" "Huh?" "Why won't you just fuckin' tell us?" "He knows." "He knows." "I can see it in his eyes." "He fucking knows." "I know you know!" "Why aren't you fucking telling me?" "!" "Why?" "!" "Fine." "Get him up." "Get him up." "Get up." "Get up." "Get up." "Get up!" "You gonna make me use this?" "You gonna tell us?" "If you don't, I'm gonna use this." "Fine." "You're doing this to yourself." "Just tell us." "Tell me." "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Where's my daughter?" "!" "Where's..." "My..." "Daughter?" "!" "Four days have passed since Anna Dover and joy birch were last seen by their families." "The two girls, aged 6 and 7, are believed to have been playing on this street when they disappeared without a trace." "As you can see, despite the cold, a lot of people have turned out tonight to show their support." "Police are asking that anyone with any information on the girls' whereabouts..." "Where have you been?" "I was searching for her in the woods." "I'm okay." "I'm okay." "Franklin." "Franklin, what is it?" "I just need a minute." "What the fuck?" "Hey!" "Get offa me!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Okay." "And this is who police are saying is a person of interest in the investigation of the two missing girls." "Now, this unidentified man, who was last seen at last night's candlelight vigil, fled on foot when the investigating detective attempted to question him." "Police caution the public not to approach this man, but to call police immediately if they do see him." "Thanks, John, for that update." "And now for the weather." "We should expect heavy rain into the weekend and " "Look, Keller, I mean, just think about it." "Why would the police be lookin' for this man if they didn't think that he did it in the first place?" "They did it together." "They know each other." "Listen, I fuckin' told you, all right?" "Jones looked me in the eye and he said," ""they only cried when I left them."" "He left 'em with someone, and he knows where this guy is." "Holly Jones' dog got hit on southward street." "Apparently Alex Jones took the dog for a walk the night before last -- they never came home." "And his aunt didn't want to tell us about the dog when we called her about it this morning." "She said that she thought it would get him into trouble or some shit." "I thought you said you would keep him under surveillance." "Yeah, and I thought you said the guy was innocent." "And I thought the guy from last night you said was our guy." "Look, I don't have money in the budget for watching innocent people." "You said to me that you'd put him under surveillance." "What do you want me to say?" "You gonna keep your word?" "You could have just given me a call, because I would have been there all night." "I would have stayed up all night." "I would know where he was now." "I need to know where everybody is." "All right, point made." "All right?" "Point made." "If you can be clear with me, then I'll be clear with you." "I need to know where everybody is." "If you're gonna do something different, please tell me." "Tell me about your rv." "What do you do in your rv?" "It's where I go..." "To be alone." "What music do you listen to in your RV when you're alone?" "Radio, tape..." "The RV was parked over on Fairmont circle?" "No." "Is my aunt coming?" "Have you seen these girls?" "No." "Take a look at 'em." "You seen these girls?" "No." "Did you participate in any way in the abduction of those girls?" "No." "Loki!" "You got a call." "All right." "I called as soon as I saw the sketch on TV." "He comes in here every week almost and buys kids' clothes, but he's always buying stuff in different sizes." "Caught him messing around with the mannequins once." "What did he pay with?" "Cash." "All right, you give me a call if you hear anything." "Okay." "It's been five days." "Maybe five days since they had a drink of water." "This could be the last night that matters." "Look, I'll call you after Nancy goes to sleep, all right?" "I promise." "Where have you been all this time?" "What the hell were you thinking?" "You tell anyone?" "Did you?" "I wanna see him." "Oh..." "Please help me." "Could you help me find my little girl?" "Got a picture." "See?" "This my baby." "You see her?" "Her name is joy." "And, um..." "This is..." "A stuffed animal we got her when she was 2 because she's afraid to sleep by herself." "Please..." "Tell me where my little girl is." "Please tell me where my little girl..." "I know you're gonna tell me." "I know you're gonna tell me." "I know." "Help me." "Help me." "Franklin, did you close the door to the " "Nancy!" "What the fuck you doin'?" "God damn it!" "Damn!" "Let it go!" "Let it go!" "You untied him?" "Huh?" "That was close." "What is it?" "What happened?" "Get Franklin." "I need to show you something." "Did he say anything new?" "He will soon." "You'll see." "No light gets in." "There's barely enough room to sit down inside." "Shower still works, but we control it from out here." "And I rigged the water heater so it either comes out scalding or freezing." "And, uh, you talk to him through this." "It's to remind us..." "In case we start feeling sorry for him." "My God." "I can't hurt him any more without killing him, so this is the only way." "Have you lost your mind, Keller?" "Do you have a better idea, Franklin?" "Do you?" "Go ahead." "Let him out, if you want." "I'm not gonna stop you." "If that's what you really want, you go ahead." "You think someone's lookin' out for our girls the way you're lookin' out for him?" "I hope." "It's been five days now, man." "We're runnin' out of time." "You don't even know it's him." "Yeah, I do." "No, you don't." "I do." "I know you." "You don't." "Look, I want my baby back..." "As much as you miss Anna." "And despite what you think about me," "I would die for my daughter." "But this ain't right." "This has to stop." "Well, then, you better get to work." "You can start with that wall there." "Franklin." "Stop." "Franklin..." "Think of joy." "I need to get out of this place, Ralph." "Everything in this house just makes me want to throw up." "Your dad's building?" "There is no way I'm staying in that crackhouse." "It's disgusting." "Yeah, okay." "We're not gonna help Keller, but we won't stop him, either." "Let him do what he needs to." "We don't know about it anymore." "Eliza?" "Eliza?" "Excuse me." "Eliza?" "Eliza, open the door!" "Eliza?" "Is she in there?" "Honey?" "Get out of the way!" "Get out of the way!" "Yeah, fuck you both!" "Next time you plan on leaving me here alone, maybe you could try at least telling me where you're going!" "Ralph?" "Anna?" "Anna?" "Anna?" "Anna?" "Anna?" "Mom?" "Mom?" "Anna." "Anna was here." "Mom, it's freezing in here." "Mom!" "Hey, mom, mom, mom, please sit down." "Stop." "Calm down." "I'm gonna close the window." "And she wasn't here." "And then I heard a sound from my room, and I..." "I came in and the window was open." "And -- and it wasn't open before." "And then -- and then Ralph, he -- he came in..." "And he looked and -- and, um..." "And then..." "Then I don't know." "Aren't you gonna write this down?" "The basement." "I didn't check the basement." "We need to check the basement." "I-I'll show you." "I'll show you." "The kids know they're not allowed down here." "They're not supposed to come down here, but I-I don't know." "My husband likes to be prepared for emergencies." "Where is your husband, Mrs. Dover?" "I was gonna ask you." "He's been out searching with the police for Anna." "Which you should be doing right now." "Does he always stay out this late?" "Yes, he stays out this late when he's looking for my daughter, since my daughter has been gone -- yes!" "Shit." "Hey, go aro-- go around." "Fuck." "Come on, Mr. Dover." "Shit." "Why are you following me?" "Get in the car." "Why are you following me?" "Where did you go just now?" "I parked at a liquor store." "I have a bottle of liquor." "You're the shit-hot detective." "Work it out." "I actually meant before that." "You were walking in the opposite direction across the parking lot." "Towards campello street." "Yeah, well..." "I haven't had a drink in nine-and-a-half years." "I figured if I walked around the parking lot for a while, by the time they opened, I'd stop wanting it that bad." "And then -- then I saw you." "Sorta helped me make up my mind." "There's a bag of lye in your basement that's half-empty." "Your wife thinks you've been helpin' us..." "But we both know that's not true." "I used the lye to bury our dog last year." "And "helping the cops" sounds better than "I've been driving aimlessly in my truck"" "'cause I don't know what the fuck else to do."" "Is that what you were doing last Saturday night?" "Probably." "Am I a suspect?" "No, I'm only asking " "I'm only asking 'cause you assaulted a man who's now missing." "I heard about that." "What happened to him?" "Thought you had him under surveillance." "I'm " " I'm gonna assume you're asking me because you have no idea." "Well, I didn't think it was something I could get away with." "It's not." "Yeah, well, it couldn't be that he skipped town 'cause the asshole is guilty." "Couldn't be that, right?" "'Cause that would mean it would be your fault, right?" "Mr. Dover?" "Mr. Dover?" "What?" "You need to take care of yourself and your wife." "That's the best thing you can do right now." "That little girl is gonna need you when she comes home." "Kids gone for more than a week have half as good a chance of being found, and after a month, almost none are." "Not alive." "All right?" "So forgive me for doing everything I can -- you know what?" "It hasn't been a fucking week." "You're right." "It's day fucking six!" "Day six!" "And every day she's wondering why" "I'm not there to fucking rescue her!" "All right." "Do you understand that?" "!" "Me!" "Not you!" "Not you!" "But me!" "Every day!" "All right." "So forgive me for not going home to have a good night's rest!" "Now, why don't you look for my fucking daughter rather than fighting -- hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey." "Don't follow me." "Hey, hey." "Mr. Dover." "Mr. Dover." "You don't think I'm gonna let you get behind the wheel after you've been drinkin', do you?" "I'm gonna walk." "You look for my daughter." "Daddy." "Daddy." "Look, daddy, we found it." "Anna..." "Where was it?" "I'm not Alex." "I'm not Alex." "What -- what are you saying?" "What?" "What?" "I'm..." "Not..." "Alex." "Wait a minute." "You're not Alex?" "What?" "I'm not Alex." "Just a second." "I don't understand." "Just -- just talk to me." "I waited, and he never came." "Come on." "No more riddles." "Just fuckin' tell me." "I'll let you go home to your aunt if you tell me where they are." "I just wanted to play." "Don't make me do this again." "And he never came." "Don't make me do it." "He never came." "I just wanted to -- why are you making me do this?" "Help me, God." "Relying on your almighty power and infinite mercies and promises," "I hope to obtain pardon for my sins." "Fuck me." "No -- no noise." "You shut up." "You make any noise, I'm gonna turn on that tap." "Hey, rise and shine." "I'm not gonna find two girls here, am I?" "Fuck you." "What about Alex Jones?" "What about him?" "I came here to drink." "I don't want to drink in front of my wife." "Look..." "My father left me this building, all right?" "You mind giving me a tour?" "Why didn't you tell me about this place?" "I didn't think it mattered." "Everything matters." "It's all pretty much like this." "I'm gonna renovate soon." "Yeah." "Not as organized as your basement, huh?" "What's up with all the survivor gear in there?" "Pray for the best, prepare for the worst." "Guess we agree there, yeah?" "Come on, hurry up." "Shit." "Hello?" "The guy that you were looking for was just here." "He saw me watching him and ran." "You get a plate?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Go home, Mr. Dover." "Hi." "Mornin'." "Why'd you run away from me the other night, man?" "I've never seen you before." "You sure you have the right house?" "You doin' some shopping at the value mall lately?" "Yeah." "Why?" "Is it a crime to shop there?" "I can't afford to buy suits from Brooks brothers." "Yeah, I know." "You bought children's clothes." "Did I?" "Must've been in a hurry." "Mm-hmm." "Do -- do you have children?" "No." "I don't..." "Have..." "Have anything -- come on!" "Christ!" "Give me your fucking hand." "Hey." "If you move, I'll put a bullet through your fuckin' head." "This is 13-40." "I need additional unit for search." "437 Carrol street." "Possible kidnapping victims on the premises." "Anna?" "Fuckin'..." "Anna?" "Joy?" "Fuck." "Fuck." "Ah!" "Fuck." "Ah." "Ah." "Fuck." "Ah." "So we've taken photographs of some of the clothing we found in the suspect's house." "Mr. Dover." "Mr. Dover, is your wife here?" "She's not coming." "Well, if you can't make a positive I.D." "On any of these photographs" "I'm gonna need her to come in and take a look at them." "Have a seat." "So he confessed?" "He said he killed them?" "We were hoping he was lying, but..." "We haven't even found any bodies, Mr. Dover, but... the birches positively identified two pieces of clothing." "I'm gonna need you " "I'm gonna need you to tell me if you recognize anything." "No." "Uh..." "I'm not sure." "I don't know." "Okay." "No." "No." "That..." "That's her..." "That's her sock." "You..." "You wasted time." "You wasted time following me." "You let this happen." "Don't talk to them." "Eliza told me they're dead." "Is it true?" "No." "She said they found their bloody clothes -- don't you tell your mother that." "Don't you dare tell your mother that." "You understand me?" "Now, I need you to listen to me." "I need you to stay around the house for a couple of days, and you make sure she does not watch the news, and when the paper comes, you just throw it the fuck away -- listen to me!" "We do not give up on your sister!" "We do not!" "I'm gonna find her." "I'm gonna bring her home." "We do not give up." "You're gonna bring her home?" "She's dead." "You can't do anything." "You've been leavin' me and mom here while you -- you've been goin' out and getting fuckin' drunk!" "You think I can't smell it on you?" "!" "Shut..." "Up!" "How long has this Bob Taylor been workin' on this map?" "Three-and-a-half hours." "And you think this is gonna lead you to the bodies?" "'Cause I sure as shit don't." "Do me a favor, captain." "Go fuck yourself." "We weren't getting anywhere questioning him." "That looks more like a maze than a map." "He's got a thing for mazes." "I'm goin' home." "Call me if somethin' happens." "Give me that card, Johnny." "The key card." "All right, it's done now." "Tell me what you're drawing." "You said you were drawing a map." "That looks like a fucking puzzle." "You tell me what you're drawing." "Tell me what you're drawing." "I can't!" "Yes, you can!" "Yes, you can!" "Oh, shit!" "Shit!" "Yes, you can!" "Yes, you can!" "Take him!" "Come on!" "Yes, you can!" "Yes, he can!" "Oh, shit!" "Gun!" "Gun!" "Gun!" "Bob, don't!" "Put the gun down!" "Bob." "Bob." "Put the gun down!" "Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, no!" "No, no, no!" "No, no, no!" "Fuck." "Go call a fuckin' r.A.!" "Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." "Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses..." "As we " "As we for" "He explain this before he ate the bullet?" "I'm sorry." "Fuck you're sorry." "Save it for the girls' parents." "I don't know what to do, Alex." "I don't know what to do anymore." "And what's completely fucked up about all this is I know you know where they are." "I think we're done." "They're in the maze." "That's where you'll find them." "What?" "What did you say?" "In the maze." "What -- what -- maze?" "Where is it?" "Where is the maze?" "Where do I find it?" "Alex?" "Alex, Alex, listen to me." "I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?" "Just tell me where the maze is." "That's it." "Just tell me, man." "Where is the maze?" "Come on, tell me." "Just tell me where the maze is, okay?" "Come on, don't fuck with me." "Don't fuck with me now." "Tell me, God damn it!" "Tell me where they are!" "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Something's gonna get to you, man." "Something's gonna get to you!" "Something's gonna get to you!" "Just a minute!" "Can I help you?" "Morning, ma'am." "Um..." "I'm Keller Dover." "Uh, my little girl was abducted with a friend." "What do you want?" "Uh..." "I-I guess I haven't thought this through too good, huh?" "I..." "I've been thinkin' a lot about what happened to your nephew." "And I know I scared him the other day at the police station, and -- and..." "What I'm tryin' to say is" "I kind of feel responsible for him running away." "You wanna come on in?" "Yeah." "My husband and I were..." "Very devout at one time." "Spent our summers driving around in that camper with our son..." "Handin' out pamphlets..." "Spreadin' the good word." "After our son died of cancer..." "We started seein' things differently." "Adopting Alex helped..." "But we never got over it." "I'm sorry." "You look very tired." "Yeah, I don't sleep much." "I, uh..." "I keep dreaming about being lost in a maze." "I'm sorry." "Alex never talks very much, so..." "When people come over here, I hardly know what to say." "He doesn't talk much?" "Well, he talks, you know." ""Good morning," "good night" -- that sort of thing." "Hard to get too much more than that out of him." "He had an accident when he was little." "After that, he started choosing his words a little too carefully." "What, uh, what kind of accident did he..." "Oh." "My husband kept snakes." "It wasn't that bad what happened, but Alex had a fear of them and..." "That's not my favorite memory." "I'm sorry." "It's none -- none of my business." "Oh, it's..." "Can I get you a cup of tea, Mr. Dover?" "Oh." "Oh, I'm so sorry." "I thought you had known about that already." "I say it's better this way." "You know, that awful man, he would have spent years on death row just watchin' TV and gettin' fat." "Well, least I don't have to worry about losing you to psp." "When forensics is finished with the guy's place, we're gonna deploy the cadaver dogs." "Look, kid, we can't always save the day." "All right?" "We're just cops, janitors." "So you lost this one, all right?" "Look, you want fulfillment, you need to find a girl, you know, start a family, have some kids." "Let it go." "Right." "Yeah?" "Hey, it's rich." "We found somethin'." "Guys, let us have a look." "Two kid-sized department store mannequins, with their heads caved in." "I just talked to our lab guys, and they told me that all the blood that we sampled from the plastic containers -- pig's blood." "All right, you guys, let's get this covered up." "It's supposed to snow soon." "Hurry up, okay?" "It's like he's play-acting." "I mean, case in point." "Except for the few items I.D.'D by the dovers and the birches, all the kids' clothes that we found still had the tags on them." "And that maze book that we found, he made it." "Photocopies, pictures from this book that we found in the attic." "Ex-f." "B.I. Agent wrote that." ""Finding the invisible man."" "Yeah, it's about a theoretical suspect that he believed was responsible for a bunch of child abductions." "It's totally discredited, I guess, but I read some of it." "Taylor " " Taylor was abducted when he was a kid." "He ran away after three weeks." "And the captor drugged him on some sort of lsd/ketamine cocktail." "He never remembered." "They never caught the guy." "Okay, so..." "He read the book and decided he was taken by the invisible man." "Now he's doing his best imitation, right?" "Yeah, he was doing his best imitation." "He killed himself last night." "How did he do that?" "I thought he was in custody." "Hey." "Taylor drew this." "It's a map to the bodies." "It's a map to the bodies." "And we found the same design on a pendant that we pulled off that corpse the other day." "There's a connection." "Okay?" "The connection is that it's the last maze in the book." "I did it." "It's unsolvable." "There's no way out." "Your corpse is another wannabe who read the book." "What are you saying to me, rich?" "What are you saying to me?" "What are you saying?" "That -- that -- that this guy is a fake?" "You're saying that the girls -- the girls are still out there somewhere?" "How did Bob Taylor get those clothes?" "How did -- how did -- how did the parents..." "Positively I.D. Those clothes?" "!" "That I can't reconcile." "You can't reconcile that?" "Just keep knockin' on doors, look in the windows." "Hey, why is that there?" "Bag that." "Will do, sir." "Right away." "Yes?" "Um, yeah." "This is she." "What?" "Oh, my God!" "Uh, wait." "Is she...?" "Ralph!" "Keller!" "Keller!" "We need to go to the hospital!" "They found joy, but not Anna!" "What?" "They didn't find Anna!" "Maybe she'll know where Anna is!" "Please, we have to go!" "Keller!" "Eliza's not picking up." "You should text her." "Yeah." "Nobody gets beyond this point." "Don't touch me." "Miss!" "Wait a minute -- it's okay." "Nancy." "Grace." "They'll find Anna." "I know they will." "I know they will." "I know." "How is she?" "Is she awake?" "Joy, were you far from our street?" "How far from the street were you, joy?" "Joy?" "You can't be doing this now." "How long did it take you to get there?" "Just let me ask a question!" "Please." "Keller!" "The detective will be back in just a minute." "You need to wait." "She's been drugged." "Joy." "Sweetheart..." "Just let us know she's alive, okay?" "Can you just nod your head, baby?" "Just nod your head?" "Baby?" "Can you give us a nod?" "Can you nod your head for us, please?" "Joy?" "Joy?" "You were there." "What?" "I was " " I was where?" "It put tape on our mouths." "Shhh." "It's okay." "It's okay, baby." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Mommy and daddy are here now, okay?" "You're all right." "Excuse me." "You're all right now." "I said nobody's allowed in that room but her family." "Hey!" "Where you goin'?" "Keller?" "Hey!" "Where's he goin'?" "I don't know." "Hey!" "Call downstairs." "Don't let him go." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Block off the exits." "Hey!" "Stop that car!" "Get his truck!" "Stop it!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "I've got you, you fucker." "I know where you're goin'." "I know where you're goin'." "Hello again." "Hey." "I was hoping you'd, uh, you'd let me do some penance." "For what?" "For scaring you the other day at the, uh, the police station." "You already apologized for that." "I know." "I was -- you know, I thought maybe you, uh..." "You could use some, uh, help around the -- you know, I noticed your door here needs fixing, so I brought my tools and, uh..." "Oh." "I see." "I burned myself." "Feel a little icky today." "But I'm glad you want to talk some more." "No need to make excuses." "You come on in and make me a cup of tea." "Come on in." "I don't want to have to hurt you." "I know they were here." "Put your hands on your head and turn around." "Do it." "I'm just gonna go." "Don't touch that bag." "Put your hands on your head." "Come over here to this counter." "Come on!" "Top drawer." "Open it." "Mm-hmm." "Put them on." "You don't know me, Mr. Dover." "But believe me when I tell you, I won't let you go." "You don't have to drink all of it." "About a third should do for a man your size." "Something to make you more manageable." "Forget it." "Drink it, Mr. Dover, or I'll kill you right here in my kitchen and bring your daughter in here and have her scrub your brains off the floor -- where is she?" "Drink." "Just let me see her." "You want to see her?" "Yes!" "That's your ticket to your daughter right there." "A little more, Mr. Dover." "Little more." "Good, isn't it?" "That's my darlin' husband's recipe." "Now go on out back." "Let me see her." "Take it out of your pocket." "Put it in the sink." "Put it in the disposal." "Put your car keys on the table." "Put your car keys on the table." "That's right." "Over to the trans am over there." "The car over there." "Come on, move it." "Get over there." "The look on your face." "My husband used to have the very same look..." "Till we took Alex." "He was the first kid we ever took." "His name was Jimmy." "Or Barry." "Can't remember." "Doubt he can, either." "So many names." "Forgot all about Bobby Taylor till I read about him in the paper." "Get in the driver's seat." "Open the door and get in the car." "Making children disappear is the war we wage with God." "Makes people lose their faith." "Turns them into demons like you." "Had to slow down since my husband disappeared." "But I do what I can." "Start the car." "Start the car." "Keep tryin'." "Back up." "Slowly." "Come on." "Back up." "Come on." "Stop." "Turn it off." "Turn it off!" "Get out." "Think you should know." "Alex never laid a hand on those girls." "Just wanted to take 'em for a ride in the camper." "I was the one who decided they should stay." "Take a look." "Maybe your daughter's under there." "You never know." "Anna." "Anna!" "Anna?" "Anna." "Anna!" "Anna!" "Anna?" "!" "I had the girls down there when the police came poking' around." "Should have left 'em down there." "I was so lonely without Alex." "Now get in there." "What?" "Get in." "You want me to get in there, you're gonna have to shoot me." "I'm not gonna get in there just 'cause you asked." "God!" "Oh!" "God!" "Go on." "Get in there." "That's right." "Ah!" "Make yourself a tourniquet." "Just might last 24 hours." "I'd love for you to still be alive when I dump your daughter's body down there." "Wait!" "No, wait, wait, wait!" "Wait!" "No." "No." "Hey." "I need you to go over to holly Jones'." "She needs to be notified." "No." "I need to find Dover." "Come on." "You're done with Dover, okay?" "Please?" "You want me to go to holly Jones'?" "I want you to go to holly Jones' and notify her, please." "Oh, God." "Almighty God..." "Protect my girl." "Mrs. Jones?" "Mrs. Jones?" "Show me your hands right now." "Don't move and show me your fuckin' hands right now." "Stop!" "Right now!" "Show me your fuckin' hands." "Do not move and show me your hands." "Make sure they cremate me." "I sure as hell don't want to be buried in some box." "Both hands!" "Right now!" "Right now!" "Fuck!" "Anna." "Oh, my God." "Oh, God." "Anna." "Oh, shit." "Come on." "Come on." "Anna." "Anna." "Come on." "Stay with me, Anna." "Anna, stay with me, huh?" "Stay with me, Anna!" "Stay with me, Anna!" "It's all right!" "It's all right!" "Come on!" "Go, move, move, move, move!" "Don't die, don't die." "It's okay, it's okay." "Honey." "You're okay." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Uh, detective loki?" "I hope we're not intruding." "No." "She's doing real good." "She's gonna be up and around in a few days, aren't you, buddy?" "She just wanted to come and say thank you and hi to her hero." "Hello." "Uh, would you mind giving me a minute?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "Say goodbye, joy." "Bye." "I'll be out in a minute." "All right?" "Say goodbye, Anna." "She found her whistle?" "Uh, no." "She keeps insisting that joy helped her find it on Thanksgiving before they were taken." "But I think she's just confused." "I got her a new one." "He hasn't contacted me." "I know you don't..." "I know you probably don't believe that, but he hasn't." "I-I believe you." "Do you think you're gonna find him?" "Yeah." "And he'll go to jail." "Probably." "Anyway..." "Thank you for everything." "Oh, God." "I miss him." "He..." "He did what he had to do to find Anna, and I thank God for that." "He's a good man." "Bye." "That's it." "Let's pack it up." "You all done for the night?" "Yeah, the ground's frozen solid." "It's gonna take weeks to excavate the entire property." "Just found some dead snakes and shit." "Pray for the best, prepare for the worst, yeah?" "Night." "Night." "Shut her down."

"Paul Dedalus is 29." "He's an assistant professor of philosophy at a Paris university." "Having become a teacher only reluctantly, he yearns to quit this "temporary" job, but can't bring himself to do so." "Consequently, he hasn't finished his doctorate which would make him a full professor." "In this way, with his modest earnings, he lives a half-life, waiting to begin what he might call his "life as a man"." "Paul lives with his cousin Bob." "For ten years, he's been seeing the same girl, Esther." "They don't get along." "For almost ten years they've been trying to break up." "For two years, Paul's been seeing another girl." "But she happens to be his best friend's girlfriend." "Paul considers it impossible to steal someone else's girl." "This is where his problems begin." " Who's the great office for?" " A new teacher." "No way!" "Who?" "I don't know." "It's on here." "Chairman, Epistemology Department Mr. Rabier" "Ma vie sexuelle (Paul Dedalus'journey)" "Yesterday I remembered the first time I started a novel." "It was a Sunday afternoon at my grandparents' house." "I was 10... maybe 11." "Because we'd just visited Bruges with my parents, my brother, my sister and I were playing "Venice"." "I can remember a window looking out on a brick wall," "Granny's kitchen table..." "It's all very precise." "I wanted to write a Stevenson-like adventure story." "I felt like doing it as a fake autobiography." "I don't know why, but I felt it would be better, more believable, if it was based on my real life." "I don't know what I intended:" "Pirates and treasures, no doubt." "But to imagine these adventures," "I had to wring the neck of real life." "That is, to write my imaginary life," "I had to start by a critique of my real one." "That's why I started with my own story." "It was a form of... revenge." "My literary tenacity couldn't have lasted more than ten lines, probably not even five." "I abandoned my "book"" "to go play with my brother and sister." "It must have been something like:" ""I'm 10 years old and was born in the provinces." ""Judging by my parents, who'd have guessed my incredible destiny?" ""I spent my youth living in infinite terror." ""My father, an honest bourgeois..."" "No: "a craven bourgeois, cringed at his own shadow and was relieved to see how every bleak day repeated itself." ""That gloomy house suffocated me." ""On those windy nights, everyone was in his room" ""trembling, shaking like leaves." ""But I was trembling with joy." ""I prayed that disaster would strike and wake us all." ""I desired what my parents feared:" "Adventure!"" "It was just a beginning." "I didn't know how to continue." "Then I went off and played." "My mother found what I'd written while I was playing elsewhere." "She read it, of course." "Our privacy meant nothing to her." "Soon after, she called for me." "It was in the dining room." "My father was sitting." "My mother was standing, shouting." "My grandparents may also have been there, embarrassed." "Then she started reading my story out loud." "It was so embarrassing." "She asked for an explanation." "Why did I write bad things about my father?" "Why did I think he was a coward?" "Why did I find him craven?" "Did I find him submissive too?" "I denied it all." "It was only the beginning of a book." "She hadn't read the rest of it." "I didn't know what to say, but she kept insisting." "My father tried to make her stop." "He smiled at me, as if to say:" ""Now you see why my life isn't a novel." ""Because of this woman."" "Except that I hadn't chosen her - she was my mother." "She kept on at it for half an hour." ""So your father's fabric-dying business isn't heroic enough for you?"" "But now I like to think that my father liked this in some bitter way." "I like to think we were somehow drawn together by that stupid piece of paper." "It was lousy." "I realized, as my mother read it aloud, just how lousy it was." "But maybe it helped him." "Unintentionally, maybe I did for him what he never dared do himself:" "I denounced that unending crusade of castration which my mother was waging against him." "My mother, always hand in hand with the ways of the world." "My father, so alone in his adolescent desires, so out of touch with reality." "So out of touch that it makes me angry!" "If my father did smile, it was his way of asking a silent question." "Not to me, but to my mother " ""How can I enjoy my life with you" ""when a child can see how horrible it is?" ""How can you be so sure about what makes me happy" ""when my son can see what my life really is:" ""Constant submission to the female order of things."" "I'd like to tell him" "I couldn't write the story of a man his age who has all sorts of adventures and escapades." "Stupidly, I wanted to bail myself out first." "I'd forgotten that the price to pay was his dishonor." "And I can't live with that weight on my shoulders." "Not bad..." "But it's horrible." "That's why I told it." "Now I feel ashamed." "Maybe it was too long." "Are they coming to Jean-Jacques' place?" " What do you say?" " You want to come?" "We can eat there and go to the party after." "But I don't know them." "He's her brother." "And it's New Year's Eve." "Isn't it okay?" "I'll call Valerie." "Sylvia had a job interview today." "Your stories embarrass everyone." "No, it was very instructive." "I think your mother was terrible." "His mother was a bitch." "Like mine." "The Bad-Ass Sisters." "Now you tell me something shameful about your parents." "You all seem so classy." "I feel I'm the only one with a shameful memory." "I shared it right away so you wouldn't find it out behind my back." "I prefer to be master of my fall." "I can calculate where I'll land." "Paul's scared of a bad fall." "Are you sorry you invited me now?" "Real sorry." "So they're your friends." "Bob's here." "Are you ashamed of me?" "You're incredibly late." "It's annoying." "I had to make myself up..." "like a whore." "Gorgeous." " Didn't you and Esther break up?" " We're not really together." "I know you don't believe me anymore..." "Esther's not bad." "Are you seeing someone else?" "What is it?" "I don't know." "I need to work." "We broke up." "Now we're back together." "It sucks." "Shit, it's New Year's Eve and I'm with Esther." "Paul admires Nathan." "He does so in a way that excludes envy." "He likes having a friend to admire." "Nathan's a rock Paul can rest on when he's tired." "This admiration without rivalry makes them seem aloof from each other, if not reserved." "Nathan is the only person with whom Paul is reserved." "Each has his own territory, his own skills which the other acknowledges." "They keep things professional, revealing their intimacy only once assured that there is no danger." "They share an "a-intimacy" which allows them to play-act at mutual confessions." "Whatever they tell each other, the glue of proximity can never spoil this harmonious "a-intimacy"." "What does Paul expect from Nathan?" "This impression of an unhysterical friendship that he's always wanted but never thought he deserved." "What Paul wants, and what he's so thrilled to receive, is to feel worthy of his esteem." "Nathan remarks with kindly indifference how Paul thinks of him with respect." "Paul feels it is his duty to "think" his friends." "For him, thinking them is a way of caring for them." "He believes that his positive thoughts protect his friends from danger." "If he stopped thinking, he'd see that his friends get on fine." "But to "stop thinking" is exactly what he'll never be able to do." "Eventually, all of Paul's friends surrender to the loving discourse in which he envelops them." "Only Nathan resists the charm of the image that Paul reflects." "Paul is trying to tell Nathan what he learned that afternoon." "Frederic Rabier is going to teach at their university." "A former graduate school classmate," "Rabier fell in love with the portrait Paul had drawn of him." "In their third year, their friendship ended abruptly." " It's me." " Hi, you." "Hey, buddies." "Did I say something weird?" "So, J-J... you know Paul." "Esther." "Bob, Paul's cousin." "And..." "I'm sorry." "Patricia." "Come in." "Sylvia..." "Are you okay?" "Is she your new girlfriend?" "But I don't like her." "She's not bad." "Have you seen her behind?" "Her ass is to die for!" "I prefer Maj Britt." " Still, she's got some ass!" " Control yourself." " I'm motivating you." " Can't you be more inspiring?" "Quote someone." ""Is anything more sparkling, more dizzying, than the possible?"" " Not bad." " Learn from it." " Who said it?" " Soren Kierkegaard." "He was Maj Britt's great-great-uncle." "I swear." "Maj Britt Kellgren is his great-great-niece!" "Excuse me." "How is she?" "Great." "She hasn't called since we slept together." "I wish I could forget her." "I was saying I don't deserve you." "I agreed." "You're much too good for him." "You're all I ever dreamt of." "Imagine a girl saying that she dreams of you!" "Are you stupid?" "Marry her on the spot!" "No, she's a great find." "I swear." "Hold on to her." "Your girlfriend is fucking gorgeous!" "Cut it out!" "I'll take this in." "Let me through." "I'm a friend of..." "Yeah, I know." " Can I help?" " No, I'm fine." "Come on, I feel like looking useful." "Your sister-in-law is looking daggers at me." "I'm afraid to go in there." "I'll feel better if I'm carrying something." "She's acting herself." "You know her." "No." "I really don't." "I've seen her a few times with Nathan." "I'm using real silver, so no stealing!" "It's weird having everyone here." "Are we imposing?" "Are there too many of us?" "We move around as a tribe." "I meant it's like a grown-up dinner." "I don't know." "We're very dignified." "My ring." " Now?" " Is it too cold out?" " No, it's okay." " Sorry." " Are you bored?" " Not at all." "How about a fire, buddies?" "What's this "buddies" crap?" "Is he angry?" "No, he likes us a lot." "Not so much me, but he likes you." "He's trying to be funny." "Maybe he's just normal." "We're abnormal." "We don't understand." "Calling us "buddies" is normal, isn't it?" "Sometimes Nathan talks that way." "It makes me very uncomfortable." "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." " He's no Roman." " He is, in his way." ""Buddies" sounds Roman to me." "Where does your boyfriend teach?" "Saint Denis or Nanterre?" "Saint Denis or Nanterre." "One or the other." "I can never remember which one." "Is he assistant or associate?" "If he did a doctorate, then he's an associate professor." "What's his doctorate on?" " You don't know?" " You never asked?" "Why should I bother him?" "And he keeps changing his mind." "I don't know." "Is that awful?" "Let's go." "Aren't you coming?" " She wants to." " It's late." "Come on..." "She has work to finish." "I know, it's too bad." "She invited us to Sao Paulo." "You want to go to Sao Paulo?" "Yeah, why not?" "Enough." "I want to go." "You're really something." "Seeing you hit on Jean-Jacques was so embarrassing." "You hit on everyone." "Are you starting again?" "You're such a pain!" "Esther, can't you just be friendly?" "But I am friendly." "Just friendly." "No need to let them lift your skirt." "Every time you meet someone, you pounce on him." " Then you hang around his place." " Bullshit!" "What about Marc Bensayag?" "We went to his place once." "Don't bring that up again!" "So what happened?" "I went there one night, like I said on the phone." "I didn't do anything funny with anyone." "Yeah, right..." "I was in Spain, and you wander in at 6 a. m." "I was calling all night long." "Jesus, for once you were dying to talk to me!" " Does he have his eye on you?" " Paul?" "Why can't you stand him?" "What do you mean?" "I don't care about him." "What do I know?" "You keep shooting him down." " I wonder why." " Because he's a pain." "My brother's unhappy, but funny." "Bob is funny too." "But Paul's a pain." "He's pretentious." "He can't even finish his doctorate." "Has he finished it?" "How would you know?" "And that's hardly a crime." "Not when there's a good reason." "But he's just vain." "He's afraid of failure." "I'm allowed to stay out late." "Don't start..." "Sorry." "Forget I even mentioned it." "It's just that you didn't know Marc Bensayag from Adam." "I introduced you." "We spent a nice afternoon, didn't we?" "Two days later, I was in Spain and you spent the night at his place." "I'm not saying you cheated on me." "It's just annoying." "For Marc too. 6 a. m." "Is late." "Did he say so?" "No, we never talked about it." "It's just annoying." "You're awful." "No, far from it." "Jean-Jacques lifted up your skirt." " He was drunk." " But it's a drag." "He hikes up your skirt, you get stoned." "For the first time in years!" "That's what's annoying!" "I don't care if you smoke." "Then it would have been normal." "But you never smoke." "You didn't know Jean-Jacques before tonight." "You got high like two kids!" "When I walked in, he was hitting on you." " We were talking." " It freaks me out!" "Think about his wife!" "She's a dumb bitch." "No, she isn't." "And we were her guests." "And when the Brazilian sluts started dancing, you had to chat them up." "Now I tried picking up the Brazilians!" "No, but can't you choose?" "Couldn't you see how lame they were?" "Think about Scharfman and Sylvia." "It's embarrassing." "You're so damned vain!" "Are you ashamed?" "I don't give a shit about your friends!" "I know." "It doesn't make me happy." "Besides, they're no friends." "You never see them." "Bob agreed with me." "I wasn't sure, so I asked him." "I thought maybe I was overreacting." "I can see you two." "I bet Bob said:" ""Look at that slut."" "No, it was just awful." "I had an awful time." "When I'm with you, it's the worst." " You don't love me anymore?" " I do." "When we're alone, it's fine." "But we have no fucking life." "Everyone else gets along well." "We have nothing doing together." "When you talk, I want to strangle you." "You're the worst." "We don't get along." "One thing I know is that if we're together, it's because I love you a lot." "You're an incredibly lovable person." "But life has favored others more than us." "One day, it'll end, because we can't stop living." "We can't love each other if life's against us." "It'll be sad." "The two of us were better than the others." "Our love is worth it." "Theirs is trivial." "Do you think we're in love?" "I do." "Amazing, isn't it?" "You like Sylvia?" "Lay off her." "You once went out with her?" "She's not bad." "She means a lot to you?" "Are you seeing her?" "No, she's with Nathan." "I like her, though." "Isn't she really pretty?" "Yeah, poor schmuck." "Nathan's not bad either." "Nathan's my friend." "Your friends are pretty nice." "I'd be proud if he were my friend." "But I'm not sure he is." "You don't trust anyone." "When is your translation due?" "Tomorrow." "I have to set the alarm." "You haven't finished it?" "I don't believe it." "Do you like what you've done so far?" "I don't know." "I worked hard, but I don't think he'll like it." "You want me to have a look?" "How many pages is it?" "Three." "I won't do it at 6 a. m." "Not now." "It's too late." "I can't work now." "It's too late for me." "It's never too late." "I'm happy to read you." "Where is it?" "Where?" "He's such a prick to meet you on January 1st!" "I got stuff wrong in Chapter Two, when he talks about Hegel." "I've never studied Hegel." "I haven't either, and I don't speak English." "Poor Paul." "So unlucky..." "Sleep!" "I'm lucky as hell." " I love you." " Me too." "Pain in the ass!" "What a catastrophe!" "This is terrible!" "He's a colleague." "How awful!" "What are you doing at the pool?" "Who are you to ask?" "This is really embarrassing." "It's no fun for me either." "Seeing you in a swimsuit is painful." "I'll say!" "I'll never come again!" "You did it on purpose!" "No, I'll stop coming." "I hate it here." "I just pretend to enjoy it." "This is Sylvia." "Have you met?" "Now you have." "You've ruined my day now." "Fortunately, I have to go to work." "I'm going too." "My stuff is over there." "I'll get my towel." "I hope you don't want to shower with me." "You've already seen me in a bathing suit." "Don't worry." "Look after Sylvia." "I have a class... in 10 minutes." "I'm off." "I won't say it was a pleasure, because it wasn't." " It won't happen again." " Okay." "We were in graduate school together." "I know." "It's a nice day." "Shall we go?" "My stuff is over there." "Do you have your key?" "I have mine." "I'm neurotic about taking showers with other guys." "So I walk through without showering." "If you want, you can pick me up at the other end." "I'm going." "So long." "Excuse me..." "Are you going out with Nathan?" "Yeah, sort of." "What a shame." "Anyway I don't know how to date a girl." "You're with Nathan." "I don't know you." "So everything's fine." "Maybe someday..." "I can give you a call." " It's sort of..." " I'll write." "Care of your parents." "Care of my parents." "I'll never get over knowing you." " Are they asleep?" " I'll go see." "Be right back." "How was the party?" "What are you doing?" "It's for Esther." "Did you see Sylvia?" " She's great." " She sure is." "Is she going to bed?" "Did it go well with Patricia?" "I don't care." "I'm going to dump her." "There's no reason to force myself." "I'll tell her tomorrow or next week." "No." "What?" " You can't dump her." " Why?" "What's wrong?" "Is it Esther?" "Patricia has a job, an apartment, everything." "Esther has nothing." "I want her to get into this school." "You're a wicked liar." "You'll never dump her." "You've said so yourself." "Esther's entrance exam is in May." "You can't leave her before." "If she doesn't get in, I'm screwed." "If she does, it's over!" "I swear." "We'll dump them together." "Then I'll do it now." "If you dump Patricia now, how can I..." "It'll look wicked fishy." "We've been together for ten years." "What about you and Patricia?" "Two months?" "She annoys you, but you can wait." "I'm asking you to." "You're a pain." "In six months you can do as you please." "You may wise up by May 26." "You'll thank me." "When will we get our papers back?" "I've almost finished correcting them." "I don't want to do a sloppy job." "Next week." "I promise." " Were you friends with Rabier?" " Yes." "Yes and no." "We went to graduate school together." "I read an article you co-signed in "Commentaries"." "Is that still for sale?" "Shame they haven't burnt it." "Frederic Rabier is coming to teach here." "I found that out yesterday." "That's great." "Will he be teaching epistemology?" "What do you think of his latest book?" "I haven't read it." "It's in my office." "But I imagine it's excellent." "When will we meet him?" "He's having a reception." "That's all I know." "I don't know." "Soon, I hope." "What's wrong?" "Hi, Auntie." "You're freezing." "Is Ivan here?" "Yes, and so is your sister." "But my son is late as usual." "That's Bob for you..." "How's Ivan?" "He was crying when he came." "Go wake him up." "He's in Bob's room?" "He wanted to take a nap before lunch." "It's you." "I heard you're sick." "No, I'm fine." "You don't look it." "I said I'm fine." "I'm afraid my life is useless." "Remember when I learned Danish?" "We said I was thumbing my nose at the world." "It was incredibly difficult, yet futile." "A tiny, faraway country..." "It was totally useless." "Then when I got into school, you said there was nothing more noble and useful than politics for drawing people together." "It's useless." "You're afraid of dying." "No, I'm afraid of living for no reason." "Of waking up one day and saying:" ""Why were you alive?"" "And it's too late." "If you have problems, we can talk." "I'm not the one who's going under." "I feel saved." "It's the opposite of a depression." "It's an ascension." "Something happened." "I had a student named Juliette." "Yesterday I took my car to the garage to be serviced:" "Oil change, brake pads..." " So did Juliette." " Did what?" "She brought her car in too." "What a place to pick up a girl!" "Then what?" "Then we sort of went out." "As I watched her, I thought:" ""This girl dancing around in her underwear is the perfect image of the Holy Spirit."" "Remember the little flames of Pentecost after Easter?" "Pentecost is in May, remember?" "Christ ascends to Heaven, and above the heads of the Apostles are little dancing flames." "It's the third era of God:" "His absence, which is now a time of joy." "I liked seeing that flame in her." "Then see her again." "There's no reason to convert!" "See her again, screw her and it'll be great." "Screwing the Pentecost can be fun!" "That's not it..." "I'm not going to marry her just because we use the same mechanic." "Then don't see her again." "It's her humanity that I love." "What!" "Just come out and say she has a nice ass!" "No, her ass - and the rest of her - allows me to understand the Incarnation." "We feel Christ's presence in His absence." "We're filled with His spirit." "Our flesh is redeemed." "I keep crying, but I'm not sad." "The Holy Spirit has given meaning to my life." "You enjoyed screwing her." "It's not just that." "It's her humanity that I love." "You're always in love." "You're secular." "What a prick." "Now he wants to be a priest!" " So what?" " Are you a jerk?" "You hated it when I was a communist." "Nothing I do is ever okay!" "I'll say, jerk!" "She's right." "Ivan, when you're normal, you don't do something and its opposite." "Ever hear of dialectics?" "Do you believe in the Virgin Mary?" "Answer honestly." " Yes." " Liar!" "In my own way." "You're such a hypocrite!" "Are you kidding me?" "No, I'm not." "You're not Catholic!" "Leave me alone!" " I wanna be a priest, but not yours!" " This pisses me off!" " Come here." " What's wrong?" "This isn't about fanaticism, but philosophy." "I don't have the faith, but I don't suffer from it, like you!" "What about the Grouper?" "He's dating her." "Keep her out of this." " What about chastity vows?" " Celibacy." "I'll screw her then let her dump me." "She has kids and a husband - and I only have two weeks left!" "Priests can't screw around." "Auntie, you have to hear this!" "Listen to these idiots." "God isn't going to punish me for screwing." "It's a religion of forgiveness." "We're a living church!" "I may be a sinner, I'm not a calvinist." "Do you know why I got in a fight with Frederic Rabier?" "He'll be teaching at school and I'll be bumping into him." "I'm wondering something really stupid:" "Do we still say hello?" "It's best if you don't say hello first." "Wait and see if he does." "If he snubs you..." "Was I really angry with him?" "You were so close." "You never mentioned it, so I never asked." " I don't know what happened." " Me neither." "It's strange..." "Was I that monstrous?" "But I've changed?" "It's hard to say." "We're family." "Compared to when?" "When you were 9?" "Not much." "Thanks." "Second-year diploma." "I think this is it." "Couldn't you fill out your application neatly?" "Who cares?" "But you were in Liverpool in 1990." " Summer of '90." " I forgot..." "How could you forget?" "You're not careful." "You won't become a translator by magic." "Three photos." "Shit!" " We have until midnight." " They won't care." "It's a national entrance exam, honey." "They will." "Too bad." "Let's forget it." "You don't look like a translator." " What do I look like?" " Try this." "Put this on." "It's 11:30." "Got any money?" "Not too austere." "Not too promiscuous either." "Poised and serious." "Did it go okay?" "4 minutes." "This is all there is?" "The fourth one's for you." "Like it?" "Why are you here at Nanterre?" "Don't you go to the Sorbonne?" "I came for a course list." "For my PhD." "You're not scared?" " We're all blacks and commies here." " That's okay." "So this is just a coincidence?" "It's funny bumping into each other." " I came to pick up a course list." " What luck." "Actually, I came here to see you." "I read an article on logic that you wrote." "It was amazing." " You don't have to..." " No, I'm serious." "It wasn't that great, but what's done is done." "I disagree." "I loved it and I want you to be my thesis advisor." "I mean, if you don't mind." "I'll read some stuff for you." "I can't find it." "I'll have to search." "This may be of help." "Would you mind if we quote Adorno?" "Your outline is great." "You have tons of ideas." "Paring them down won't be hard." "It'll be fun." "It's Frederic Rabier." "It was at school." " We were in the same class." " Really?" "Nathan isn't in it." "He was sick that day." "Where are you?" "I can't find you." "I'm here." "No one ever recognizes me in this picture." " Have I changed?" " It's you all right." "Same serious look on your face." "What?" "I was laughing." "Maybe it's because you're in a shadow." "I think you look dreary." "She wants me to be her advisor." "Did you say yes?" "Yes and no." "Not yet." "She's crazy and she looks it." "She wears a wedding ring on her index finger, which is worrisome." "It's just a ring, not a wedding ring." "So you noticed!" "She wears a wedding ring and she's not married." "If it doesn't bind anyone, it's a ring without a stone in it." "Even if it's a ring that has lost its stone, which I doubt, the missing stone makes it a wedding ring." "The fact that it binds no one makes matters all the more serious." "I'm not impressed." "I think she likes me." "She's pretty." " You agreed to work with her." " No, but what would you do?" "I wouldn't date her." "She's too freaky." "Her freakiness excites me." "It's a challenge." "You have to be bold!" "My mother was a super freak." "I won't be intimidated." "I hate being here." "But it would look worse if I don't go in." "The whole thing is so bombastic." " Go say hello to him!" " No way!" "You do it." "I'll test the waters." "You knew him better than I did." " And he doesn't like my books." " He's just an ass." "Don't touch!" "That's a work of art." "You know what art is?" "Answer me." "Do you?" "Well, I don't." "I know what is admirable." "Hold on, I can't do this." "What?" "You can't chicken out now!" "Don't count on me to explain it." "It's beyond explanation." "There's no way out." "There is only violence." "Van Gogh is a total mind-fuck!" "Was he really my friend?" "You were Yin and Yang!" "You co-signed articles." " Is he yours?" " Yes, he follows me everywhere." "Unless I'm the one who precedes him." "No one knows." "Do you have a soul or are you a hairy machine?" "Look at him." "What was I like all those years?" "A little frazzled, but funny." "What the hell was I like?" "I didn't tell Patricia, so be careful." "As long as you don't see the Holy Spirit!" "So you slept together?" "Yeah." "It was no barrel of laughs." "But you had some fun." "Yeah, it was fun." "Spill the beans." "There aren't many to spill." "It was so-so." "I had my doubts." "I thought she had an ass like Sylvie's." "No..." "It's more..." "No, it's better." " Like Patricia's?" " No way!" "Are you kidding?" "Is she fake sexy?" "No, but she's out of it." "For example, she uses an I.U.D." " Maybe she has to." " No, she's insane." "Some girls can't take the pill." "They can't for medical reasons." "That happens." "I think she's insane." "She's kind of "feety" too." "When she's on top, she's on her feet, not her knees." "It's part of her act." ""Feety" can be nice." "It's affectionate." "Touching too." "And it's a nice change." "In theory, maybe." "But she's "feety" to the bone, to tell you the truth." "Okay but "knees" can get pretty spooky." "It's like catechism." " Feety" is cooler." " No, knees!" "It's "guitar-strumming Christian"." "It's "I'm at one with my body"." "A little." "But "feety" is also" "I love myself"..." ""I want to eat you alive"." "Yeah, it's pretty gross." "And she makes no noise." "Or not much, in any case." "But she acts weird." " How?" " She trembles." "She does this too..." "That's no big deal." "She doesn't smoke." "Now that's no fun at all!" "Now you get it!" " What's her problem?" " She's just a pain!" "Maybe it's her boyfriend." "At first you said Patricia was no fun." "Same with Esther." "But it'll get better." "There's something else." "What?" "When you kiss her..." " This is really crude." " Say it!" "When you eat her pussy you get bawled out for going too far." "That's serious." "You can't do anything." " How about her back door?" " Out of the question!" "In a way, you're better off." "You know where you stand." "Yeah, whatever." "At least you scored." "Nothing to write home about." "A little." "Yeah, a little..." "We'll see." "If Paul and Nathan's love stems from their accepting their difference," "Bob is persuaded he is Paul, and Paul vice versa." "Nathan and Paul's difference allows them to act similarly." "But Paul and Bob's mimicry is so powerful that Paul relies on it to differentiate himself constantly and radically from Bob." "They are so alike that they can act differently." "For they know that ultimately, they are identical." "Their resemblance allows them to have two lives:" "The one Paul lives and the one Bob lives." "Because Bob wears polos, Paul, in some vicarious way, can appreciate them enough to be able to wear shirts." "Bob is grateful for this." "Simply by watching Paul, he feels he somehow wears shirts, that his polos don't exclude his taking pleasure in shirts." "Similarly, Paul explores the pains of breaking up and Bob, the joys of seducing." "Each time Paul breaks up with a girl," "Bob adds another to his roster." "Their discussions let them share the brisk pain of separation and the woeful enthusiasm of easy conquests." "You look amazing!" "It's too big!" "It's your size!" "Don't hurt Paul's feelings." "Sorry, Paul, but you're too small." "Do you mean in general or for the jacket?" " Is this too much?" " No, it's great." "Be bold!" "I wasn't crazy about the other one." "Bob, please..." "Enough now." "Let's go." "Totally hip." " Not bad, huh?" " Happy now?" "It's sleazy!" "I didn't enroll to do my thesis." "I'll keep on being an intern and forget about the rest." "I need time to think." " About what?" " I don't know." "About what's going on with Valerie." "Between me and her." "What happened?" "Not long ago, Valerie had an abortion." "She was pregnant and got rid of it." "I did nothing to stop her." "It started when she left her apartment." "She had nowhere to go." "She dispersed her things here and there." "Nothing at my place, but she was there every night - with none of her stuff," ""so as not to rush things", she said." "We had one fight." "It was ridiculous." "She was furious because I didn't have a hair-dryer." "It's normal." "What the hell would I do with one?" "We had a huge fight." "She wanted me to buy her a hair-dryer." "She wouldn't bring hers - she had one at a friend's place." "She wouldn't buy one either." "No, I had to buy one for my place." "I wouldn't." "I had no idea what kind she wanted." "It all seemed so dumb." "Then I had an idea." "One day, I said that guys could be one of two things:" "Either bastards or inadequate." "I was just trying to annoy her, but it stuck with me." "I'm pretty inadequate with Valerie." "I'm happy, but pathetic too." "My work and all..." "It's not Valerie's fault that I'm pathetic, but it is her fault that I'm not a bastard." "So I figured it out." "I had to do something really terrible to Valerie so I'd stop being pathetic." "That way, I could at least choose between the two." "That was the state of things." "Then she got pregnant." "One night she said she was getting an abortion." "It was really stupid because she wanted a child." "I was all for it too." "But she decided to get an abortion." "To provoke me." "It was just like the hair-dryer." "She wanted me to say no." "She knew I'd understood that she wanted me to say no." "Then I realized she wants even more." "More than living with me and having a kid." "She doesn't want a child." "She wants me to stop her from being selfish, or scared, or in love." "What about me?" "When am I selfish?" "When should I stop accepting her challenges!" "As for me," "I'm back to being pathetic, her object." "No chance of finding a way out." "No solution." "So I decided to give myself a chance." "She'd have her baby, I'd be the father." "Great!" "But I wouldn't say a word." "I thought my silence would make things better." "We went to bed, happy enough." "Except for one thing:" "I hadn't said no." "I said "Oh really, you're getting an abortion"" "The next morning, she asked me to take her to the clinic." "I started getting scared." "I told her that I had to work, and I couldn't take her." "I knew she wanted to have a kid." "She always talked about it." "She was living with me." "She called me at work at 11 o'clock." "They were "operating" at noon and she wanted me to come." "I told her I couldn't but that I'd see her that night." "Then I started freaking out." "I thought:" ""Jean-Jacques, be a bastard for once." "Don't give in." ""Maybe she's not at the clinic." ""I bet she's at home" ""and is calling so I'll tell her what she wants." "But I won't give it to her."" "I got home late." "She was in bed." "She woke up." "She was pale." "She said: "Don't worry." "Everything went well."" "Then she decided to go to relax at a girlfriend's." "She never visited her girlfriends just to relax." "I was gentle." "I said "Okay."" "She spent the night there." "I went to bed." "I cried." "I was scared." "The next day, she came home to fill out her health insurance forms." "To show me she'd gone through with it." "She said: "I'm sorry." "I hope you're sorry too."" "I nodded yes." "Since then, we've despised each other." "Jean-Jacques," "I won't repeat what I'm telling you." "I'll say it once and for all." "Valerie doesn't want a child or a hair-dryer." "She doesn't need anything because she's very strong." "You're trapped." "You want her to fear you the way - sorry to say it - she fears me." "You think:" ""Shit, she's scared of him, not me." "I must be worthless."" "So don't tell me about your feelings and "what I should have done"." "Valerie has figured out how to make her existence an insult to your dignity." "That way, you loathe yourself for hating her and she can keep debasing you and enjoy your paralysis." "The only thing you have to learn is that hating her is neither fatal nor foul." "It's normal... and amusing." "And you're going to win." " I heard about your mother." " What?" "Sylvia told me the story about your mother." "It's great how you can talk about your fights even if it's hard on her." "It's not that hard on her." "She's dead." "It's easy to badmouth your parents when they're alive." "It's harder when they're dead." " You're so well-bred!" " Your mother's not dead." "Yes, she is." "That shouldn't make her seem any nicer." "Breast cancer." "She got struck where she sinned." "What?" "Her breasts." "She wasn't a very good mother." "I'm not a great son either." "I'll stop." "I'm trying like hell to impress you." "What about your mother?" "She's dead, I said." "Stop laughing." "It's true." "Dinner for one!" "They discuss Valerie's PhD." "Valerie takes Paul home." "They start dating." "Everything seems to separate them." "Valerie is serious and violent," "Paul is ironic and gentle." "For this very reason, they inevitably fall in love." "Valerie shudders with fury, then with pleasure, at Paul's provocations." "Paul finds Valerie's lucidity deeper than his irony, which wearies him." "Then Valerie mentions Sylvia." "Finally." "All these years Paul never dared mention her." "Today, Valerie restores Sylvia to him." "For years, Paul's silence made him sick." "Now he's feeling giddy." "He says because Sylvia was never his, he could have had any other." "Because she gave him nothing no other girl could give him less than the one he loved." "He'd had plenty of women, yet suffered because of one." "One day, a mutual friend, unaware of Sylvia's affairs, decided to tell her about Paul." "Paul's a strange guy." "Really?" "A borderline professor." "Nathan can tell you." "He's screwing up." "He doesn't do much." "He's been doing a doctorate for 5 years." "Too bad." "He could be..." "What?" ""What?" Sylvia couldn't help asking." "She hoped he would doom Paul to the failure which she had predicted and which had made her chose Nathan." "Yet she also desired that he redeem Paul and the love she reluctantly felt for him." " Nothing." "He's nice, but..." " Isn't he smarter than you?" "Because you're an ass." "A total asshole." "By attacking him, she was defending herself." "The same mutual friend once told Paul about Sylvia." "You don't know her?" "No." "What does she do?" "Sylvia?" "She stopped school." "She floats around." "Nathan wants to get her into publishing." "She's a loser." "She looks incredibly intelligent!" "Paul jumped on the occasion to admit in public how charming he found her." "Until then, he'd pretended not to know her." "Come in, now that you're here." "Paul was a professor." "He wanted to be a writer and liked to think himself a critic, a perfect middle ground between his activities and his aspirations." "Sylvia wanted to teach, but was doing secretarial work." "When they were together, she liked to recall his true function." "You're a teacher." "You even look like one." ""Not a teacher, a critic," he would answer." "Behind his false pride, he hid his sadness at not being a writer." "No, you wrote a couple of articles." "You're just a teacher!" "She knew she was hurting Paul, who could only acquiesce." "He could only smile at the pleasure she took in being mean." "What Paul never understood about this new-found altruism was his desire to put her down." "He turned into devotion the vengeance he wished to inflict and which made her quiver when she defied him." "Their affair would have been so different had he stood up to her mean-spirited pleasure." "She hated him both for ignoring her insufficiency and for seeing it too well." "She loved him for the same reasons:" "She gloated in his admiration and felt "redeemable" by his concern and exertion." "She'd finally met someone for whom all "this" wasn't easy." "Is it sleazy of me to tell you all this?" "No, it's fine." "Talking to one girl about another..." "If you love her, it's only normal." "I'm going to make you angry." "Why?" "I have something to tell you... but you'll think I'm an idiot." "You'll think less of me." "I hate to tell you." "I'll think less of you?" "Did you kill someone?" "Beat up your parents?" "I think..." "I want to live with Sylvia." "I've started looking for an apartment." "Until then, she'll stay at my place." "See?" "You do have a lesser opinion of me." "Not at all." "Look at me." "Not at all." "I think it's great." "I don't know what to say." "You should live with a girl." "Why do you say that?" "I'm thinking of your pant cuffs." "You're neglectful of everything." "Especially of yourself." "You work all the time." "You look unhappy." "You should live with a girl." "Yeah, sure." " No, I'm serious." " I'm sure you are." "Do you need help looking for a place?" "Because Bob has connections..." "Why don't you get one for yourself?" "That's more complicated." "Sylvia seems great." "Yeah..." "She amazes me." "I'm fine." "I fell." "I'm not hurt." "I'm sorry." "You can carry on, thanks." "Can you hold the elevator?" "The lamp too." "Where should I put it?" "Before Nathan, I was a mess." "You'd never have wanted me." "I'm a pretty gloomy person." "If I were yours, you'd see how gloomy I am." "Helping Nathan saved me." "It got me out of my rut." "You can't do anything for me." "You can't even do anything for yourself." "What would we live off?" "Where?" "Where do you live?" "At my cousin's." "I won't live with your cousin!" "Where then?" "Do you have friends?" "Besides Nathan..." "Who would we see?" "Definitely not Nathan anymore." "We'd both be penniless and shut away, God knows where." "You'd want to kill me, I'd want to kill you." "We'd be miserable!" "You love me... and that's miserable." "Leave a franc." "Thief." "In the spring, Esther gets into translation school." "Paul immediately breaks up with her." "Esther cries." "Paul says she now has a life of her own and should be proud of her test results." "Esther says she doesn't know what to say." "They decide it's best to stop seeing each other." "Esther breaks her promise." "She visits Paul often to try to understand." "It's over." "We're finished." "I'm breaking up." "I'm not going out with you anymore." "You're too dependent on me." "I can't go out with a girl if I don't know how it'll end." "That's ridiculous." "No it's not." "Love affairs are meant to end." "They always end!" "It's not my fault." "It's universal." "I need to be able to imagine how it'll end." "You can't imagine our break-up so you're dumping me?" "That's ridiculous." "What a lousy reason." "How revolting." "You depend on me way too much!" "I don't depend on you." "Who do you think you are?" "Great!" "You don't depend on me!" "It's as if..." "Jesus!" "I carry the burden of your responsibility." "It's too heavy!" "No one can carry anyone else's load." "No one." "I'm trapped." "Can't you see I'm trapped?" "I carry your weight too." " You carry nothing." " Like hell!" "You don't know what I do." "Why, how, with who." "What makes me happy, what makes me sad." "You know nothing." "You're happy with me." "Of course I'm happy with you." "You're the best girl in the world." "Then why are you leaving me?" "Because I didn't see the time go by." "You're weighing me down." "It's like saying a dog is mad just to kill it." "I'm mad because you drive me mad." "You're a beached whale." "You're just tense." "I'm not tense." "I don't have any fucking moods!" "I've wanted to finish my doctorate for years." "I'm having a nervous breakdown." "Compare me to Nathan and Bob." "I'm becoming a loser." "I'm screwing up my life." "If I screw up my life, I'll never forgive you." "It's obvious." "I wish we'd won, but we're losing!" "Can't you see?" "I'm drained." "You can't help me." "Are you in love with someone else?" "Yes." "How sad." "Do I know her?" "No." "Better that way." "It's terribly sad." "What can I say to change your mind?" "It's because you don't know that we're breaking up." "That's dumb." "Tell me what to say and I'll say it." "That's impossible." "You are what you are." "That's what's great." "But I need some distance." "Then I'm not good enough." "What did you need?" "I don't know." "If you'd said:" ""I want us to move in together."" "You don't have to!" "But I do!" "It's obvious you want to." "Can't you see?" "I have to tell you so you realize that you want us to live together." "I already knew I wanted it." "No, you didn't really know." "You felt it." "But I have to spell it out for you." "So spell for me." "I've had enough." "Forget about living together." "It gets you tense." "What can I say to change your mind?" "What else can I say?" "That you think I love you." "I'm not too sure." "But I can say it:" "I think you love me." "There." "Is that all?" "No." "You can also say:" "Of course you'll cheat on me."" "That's for sure." ""But you can, if you don't betray me." "And if we break up you'll move out and I'll get on with my life."" "How?" "How could I?" ""I'll live it differently because I'm different from you." ""I'm not easy to live with." "I organize my life badly," ""but living with you won't be stealing your life," ""but a means of organizing mine better." ""Know that it's because I'm this way" ""that you love me." ""I know you're scared of being" ""both money maker and money manager," ""both friend maker and friend manager," ""and that you're scared that without you" " I mean, me " ""I'll be 'downgraded', uprooted..." ""But this is not true." ""Look at what I've brought you:" "Without me, you'd be so much worse."" "I'm not sure you'd be worse off without me." "I wish you'd said:" ""You'll never find someone like me." "I'll survive without you."" "Of course I will." "But better off with you, schmuck!" "Because I love you and also... because you're the only guy I know - it's true - and also because you have tons of qualities." "No, I'm full of meanness, bitterness and pettiness." "I can't budge for fear of breaking you." " Tell me you don't love me." " I don't love you." "It's true." "It's not." "I love you more than anyone else." "You're my heart, my blood, my eyes." "I think you're the meanest bastard I've ever met!" "You're a pain." "You were lousy with me." "I was bored stiff with you." "You're lousy with girls, anyway." "A book by Jean-Luc Marion." "I was sure you'd like it." " "Prolegomena To Charity"." " Serious stuff." "I'm into theology." "I've read all his books." "I've given it at least five times already." "I'm so happy to be number six." "I'm touched." "You thought..." "I thought you'd like it." "You could have given me diamonds!" "No, a book by that pain in the ass, Jean-Paul..." "Jean-Luc What's-his-name." "You said you loved Jean-Luc Marion?" "I pity the poor girl." "But she's stupid enough to want the biggest pain of them all," "Paul Dedalus." "Why not become a rabbi while you're at it?" "At least they can get married." "You're not funny." "Stop it." "A beard, a caftan, fringe." "Not fringe." "Tsetsim." "Whatever... tsetsim." "Don't talk about things you know nothing about." "What do you know?" "Mr Know-it-all!" "I know that I don't know." "Why become a rabbi if I've had a revelation?" "The revelation of the Trinity." "I saw my life figured in the Cross." " Are they okay with them?" " Of course." "A priest." "What the fuck did I do wrong?" "Isn't priest a step up from teacher?" "I'm fed up with you!" "I'm disgusted to have slept with a priest." " Next week you're going..." " To a seminary." "Just for ten days." " I'll jump the wall at night." " I don't want a priest." "Don't turn this into a tragedy." "We'll get by." "I won't get by." "I won't become a priest's maid!" " What else can you do?" " What?" "You're unemployed." "You won't necessarily be unhappy." "I said "not necessarily"." "Maybe you will be, maybe you won't." "We can try." "You weren't free before." "Of course not." "I have a husband and two kids, one of whom is 7, remember?" "Why do you have two kids?" "You're too young!" "You're 30!" "You could have waited for me." "For 20 years?" "Don't say you started having sex at the age of 10." "I'll faint." "At 10, kids go to school." "You probably started at 22, 23." "That's normal!" "You'd have been waiting for a guy like me for only 7 years." "I've come just at the right time." "So ask me to divorce, like an adult." " That's impossible." " Why?" " Don't ask." "You know." " No, I don't." " Don't ask me to break a sacrament." " What?" "I can't break a sacrament." "I'm Catholic." "I can't cause a divorce." "My ass isn't sacred!" "You don't treat it that way in bed!" "But it is!" "Your ass is sacred!" "That's what I understand now!" "You're a complete human being!" "Thanks for the promotion!" "What great news!" "I needed a revelation to realize how human you are." "I thought I was living all alone." "That's how it is." "What are you up to?" "Not much." "I haven't finished my doctorate yet." "I've come to tell you I'm resigning from the university." "I'm sending it off tomorrow." "It's final." "You're the only person I've told." "You'll have problems with the Ministry." "You promised them 10 years." "I'll pay the State back the two years I owe it." "It's odd." "You were brilliant." "But it's Nathan who started writing." "Rabier too." "As for you, nothing." "I've written articles." "I read your piece on Nathan." "It was pertinent." "Elegant too." "You almost made me want to like his book." "You've written nothing on Rabier." "Have you heard?" "He'll be heading the Epistemology department." "Associate professor." "You were so close." "What was your fight about?" "I never knew." "What I wonder is why we stayed friends for so long." "We were very different." "That's what I don't understand." "It was his energy." "It shook you up a bit." "He's a total numbskull." "How can you say that about a friend, even a former one?" "Why did it take me so long to realize the extent of his stupidity?" "Was I that stupid too?" "Was I blind?" "Too proud?" "And I'm distraught that you like him, because I'm jealous of your affection." "Yet I'm reassured to see you as I used to be, fascinated by his stupidity." "I feel less alone." "Don't resign." "You'll make a fine professor, like me." "You don't have the stuff of a writer." "You'll spend the first 300 pages apologizing for writing." "Frederic Rabier never apologizes." "I'm not being critical." "Maybe I'm wrong." "I keep seeing my oncoming bitterness, and that scares me." "I used to want to be refined and intelligent, to impress you and deserve your esteem." "And now you admire what I thought you'd taught me to despise." "I wonder whether I ever learned my lessons." "Can you help me?" "Sure." "Do you have tools?" "A toolbox?" "There's no janitor and I have a shit-awful problem." "There were tools in the corridor." "The monkey's going crazy." "In Boston, he was fine." "But Paris has shaken him up." "He's become violent." "I don't get it." "He's scared." "He's stuck behind the radiator." "He may be dead." "It's boiling." "Turn off the radiator!" "I did already." "But I can't reach him." "The tools are over here." "What's his name?" "Don't laugh." "I didn't choose it." "What is it?" "Laki." "I tried with this." "Let me." "How disgusting." "I'm better dressed for it." "There's no use dirtying your jacket." "Shit." "Fucking shit-head janitors!" "His arm..." "So?" "Is he angry?" "No, he's dead." "Oh shit." "He's squashed." "He went crazy." "As if he'd been beaten." "I swear I didn't beat him." "It wasn't me." "I believe you." "My God, this is so disgusting." "I can't have that shit in my office." "Do you have gloves?" "Actually it's like a cat." "Fuck, I bothered you for this." "That's okay." "I won't apologize, but thanks." "I was attached to him, you know." "I'll throw it in the garbage." "You don't know where it is..." "The garbage." "No, I don't know where the bins are." "I'll be going then." "So long." "Sorry, can you wash your hands first?" " For yourself, too." " I forgot." "Sorry." "There's no reason for both of us to risk it." "You should go to the lavatory." "I will." "Bye." "Are you okay?" "Are you okay?" "Hi." "Are you okay?" "Doesn't look it." "What is it?" "Move, dammit!" "What's this?" "Nothing." "Just work." " Ladies shouldn't rummage in trash." " What the hell?" "You're a real dick." "I'm sick of you and your cousin." "Where is he?" " I'm sorry." " Don't be." "You piss me off." "Come back." "I don't want to wait for him all alone." "Come back." "Enough already..." "You don't want a scarf?" "Mittens?" "How about boots?" "Is that enough?" "It'll do." "Bob's a pain." "He never comes back." "I get scared all alone." "You're taking advantage of my being sick." "I'm dying to sleep with you." "I just wanted to say it." "It hurts me not to be able to." "Of course you can't." "I love Bob." "It's simple." "And you're a little over the hill." "Yeah, over the hill." "I ran like an idiot and then I stopped." "Then I realized everything was age-old and incredibly hostile." "As if we were hated." "I was very scared." "Hi." "It's Valerie." "Do you mind my calling?" "Not at all." "I wanted to know if we could meet." "It's nice out." "I'll tell you about my thesis." "Sure, call me tomorrow." "Can't I see you now?" "I'm having some problems." "You too?" "In fact, I'm not going out much because..." "It sounds stupid, but I'm having psychiatric problems." "I'm really scared to go out." " I'm bothering you, right?" " No, I swear." "I have to go see my professor, Chernov." "He lives in the suburbs." "I'd have to walk from the train station if I went." "But I can't go out, so..." "I have a car." "I'll pick you up." "No, that's not it." " See you in a sec." " No, it's okay." "The first time..." "I remember you telling me something." "No girl ever told you that before?" "You mustn't have had much fun." "What's Chernov's first name?" " Leon, as in Trotsky." " Do you call him Leon?" "Of course not!" "He's a genius!" "You're so respectful." "Paul!" "He lost the car!" "Stop it!" "Leave him be!" "It's so horrible being locked up with him all year long." " What's going on?" " Don't bore them." "He forgot where he parked the car." "We've searched for hours!" "What kind is it?" "A white Peugeot." " Where's the car?" " I can't remember." "Did you park it?" "Obviously." "I didn't drive it into the canal." "She's been screaming at me." "It's over." "I'm here now." "You misplaced your car." "There's no shame in that." "It happens to everyone." " What?" " Alzheimer's." "It's the name of the disease I have." "I'll lose my mind." "All my brain cells." "I'll forget everything." "Then I'll stop talking." "Hold on." "Did a doctor tell you this?" "It wasn't a doctor?" "You read this somewhere." "We'll see a doctor tomorrow." "If it's Alzheimer's, we're in deep shit." "But until then, we're fine." "For now, you've just lost your car." "I lost the keys too." "Professor, it's nothing." "A car is annoying, but a set of keys is absent-mindedness." "That's different." "You see?" " I'm absent-minded." " That's it." "I'm tired too." "Of course." "How about this?" "I'll go look for the car." "It must be around here." "Valerie and I will comb the streets." "Are you still seeing..." "Mrs Neveux?" "No!" "So it's not there." "You'd remember a quick fuck?" "Yes." "I'll go look for it." "I won't mention cars or senility." "I won't burp during meals or say that Heidegger was scum." "This is amazing!" "You'll be working with Professor Egghead when he has no more eggs in his basket!" "Seriously, he's cool and I'm thrilled." "We have all weekend together." "I think I'm incredibly depressed." "And now, the real world." "I've sent my resignation." "I'll help you with your thesis and that's it." "I was a dreadful professor." "Now I'll be a measly grad student." "I'm going to be dirt poor." "Chernov agreed without seeing a thing." "I defend my thesis in September." "What will we do when we're back in Paris?" "Will you call me?" "Of course I'll call you." "And... that's enough for you?" "Don't scare me." "It's not me who lives with a guy." "You do live with a guy." "I live with my cousin." "Yeah... and I live with Jean-Jacques." "It's different." "Different because Jean-Jacques's a cuckold?" "He's a cuckold now." "Don't say that." "Why?" "Listen to me." "It was nice of you to drive me." "We slept together." "That happens." " You can tell your boyfriend." " And we shake hands." "That's not it!" "But you're pretty high-strung!" "Did Nathan say that?" "I'm the madwoman, right?" "Take those things off." "You look like... an Ostrogoth." "It scares me." "I'm a horny little doe." "Those things are scuzzy." "I'm not pretty?" "Yes, you're very pretty." "But you're hostile." "You're kind of a wimp." "Shall we go down?" "You can't wear those in front of my teacher!" "It's humiliating." " Why?" " I don't know." "Okay then." "Do it and I'll slap you!" "Take those fucking things out!" "Keep on screaming..." "Hello." "Thanks for inviting me." "It wasn't much fun, was it?" "We had a little spat." "You're a fucking powerhouse." "Don't start up again." "I came straight from the hospital." "So I see." "Well?" "What?" "How are things with Paul?" "Fine..." "Paul's fine." "Are you happy?" "No." "I think I'm pretty unhappy." "Me too." "I'm really unhappy." " That's good." " Yeah it is." "Maybe we should stop seeing each other." "Do I annoy you?" "Tired of me?" "I think you're gorgeous." "So why are you running away?" "You avoid me." "I feel I'm in the way." "If you want to start over..." "Start what over?" "Paul's not nearly as good as you, okay?" " And he doesn't want me." " Then he's stupid." "You don't want to fight for me?" "Are you that tired?" "Am I that worthless?" "I won't fight for you because I'm worthless." "Christelle and Sophie are all over you just dying to be humped." "Don't you care?" "Are you that tired?" "It's not that you're of no interest to me, but that I'm of no interest to myself when I'm in your arms." "I want to be a hero." "Alone, I find myself rather heroic." "With you, I'm filled with self-disgust." "Today I thought we might try... to pick up..." "Excuse me." "Get the fuck out." "I had to come here because you're never available." "Get lost, I said." "We'll talk afterwards." "Can't you buy me a coffee?" " Not during class." " Just a coffee in your shitty little cafeteria." "Can't you spare a second for your girlfriend?" "No, you have to act Mr. Pompous for the ladies." "In your shitty class." "After my class, I said." "I love listening to you." "The two of us love listening to you." "So..." "You wouldn't dare." "So today..." "I'm sorry." "Just a minute." "I'm very calm!" "We both deserve better than this!" "You don't understand." "You're unhappy, but we don't have to see each other!" "You don't understand a thing." "You're with another guy and with me." "You're too neurotic to deal with it." "But don't take it out on me." "Let's call it quits!" "It's as plain as the nose on your face." "Guys are like babies." "You're all blind." "I was 12." "It's over now." "No big fucking deal." "I don't care." "I feel like a "disaster of the week" movie." "What happened?" "I've bothered you enough." "Fuck it." "What happened when you were 12?" "Jesus, I wish I had been spared like all of you." "Did someone bother you?" "I'm not the only person to have been..." "I don't want to talk about it now." " Who was it?" " My father." "This stinks." "It's right out of Dickens." "I feel ridiculous." "Did I get you in deep shit?" "I shouldn't have... made you talk." "I'm sorry." "Yeah... real sorry." "You're quiet today." "No, I have nothing to say." "Bob!" "One afternoon our cousins came to play in our garden." "It was shortly after Bob's father died." "You know what?" "My dad's not dead." "He gets naked with whores." "Mommy thinks he's in the cemetery." "She's like this:" "But he's with his whores like this:" ""I love it." "Show me your boobs!"" "You're going to go to hell!" "You're a liar!" "It's the truth!" " No way!" " I see him a lot!" "Really?" "I see him all the time." "In secret." "Okay, I believe you." "So where is he now?" "Where!" "Sometimes he visits me in the bathroom!" "When I'm doing doody, he comes and says:" ""Robert, it's me." "I'm your father!"" "I say:" ""Thanks, now wipe my ass!"" "And he wipes it!" "Liar!" "Your dad's dead!" "Auntie!" "They all said it, Bob too." "He's over there." "Come with me, Bob." "What is it?" "Bob, I was laughing like a dummy." "But you were so funny." "Extremely funny." "I didn't know what to say." "Your sadness affected me so." "Of course I'd know now." "Is it me?" "I'm glad to see you too." "What?" "What is it?" "Are you okay?" "You what?" "You doing stuff?" "You can't talk?" "You're too moved?" "Are you working?" "Is it going well?" "Yes!" "It's Esther!" "Shall I ask her in?" "It's a dormitory." "I need to find a studio..." "You better start looking." "I better." "I'll be going." "Shit!" " It's not our day." " My pants!" "Sorry." "I was just leaving." " Clumsy is as clumsy does." " Exactly." "So long, Esther." "Don't smirk." "I like her." "I'm not smirking." "I get on fine with her." "Didn't I talk to her?" "It's not me who dumped her." "Do you know why you're friends with Paul?" "He's paralyzed." "He can't take anything of yours." "Okay..." "Feel better now?" "If you know it, it doesn't pardon you." "Dear Paul, Paul dearest," "I just read "Peer Gynt", which you often mentioned." "I don't have much work to do, so I can read." "Sometimes the books overwhelm me so," "I have to read them slowly." "I finished Ibsen's play in tears." "It would have exasperated you." "But that's the way I am." "I decided to take a walk to stop my tears." "Then I stopped to write this letter." "Paul, you're not here, but sometimes I can hear your absence whispering in my ear." "It keeps me company." "And your absence asks:" ""Esther..." ""Where am I?" "Where was I?" "Me?" "Myself?" ""The person I am:" "Paul." "I got so lost that I can no longer find myself."" "And inside my head, I think: "It's easy." ""You were, and still are, in my faith, in my hope, and in my love."" "And your absence asks me:" ""Am I your child?" "Am I guilty?" "Will you forgive me?"" "And inside my head, I answer:" ""You made my life enchanting."" "And your absence says:" ""Hide me." "Protect me."" "And like Solveig, I answer:" ""Sleep, my child." "All the livelong day," ""we played and ran and sang together." ""Now my child needs to rest." ""So, close your eyes, my little boy, my lover, my love." "Don't be afraid." "Fear not." "I am watching over you."" "And your absence falls asleep against my spirit." "I will protect you." "I think of you often." "Your loving Esther." "It's not her." "You're here." "It looks like her, but it's not." "Shall we go?" "Let's." "You don't love me." "Dammit, I'm unloved." "That's why I'm in this goddamned rut." " Stop it." "I do love you." " No, you don't." "Because I'm a loudmouth." "Then be less loud." "Fuck that." "I don't know how." "It's not my fault." "I'm the same as you." "No." "Yes." "You see yourself in me." "Because you admire me." "I'm flattered." "You see yourself in me, so you want to destroy me and be the original." "I don't want to share you." "No, you want to tame me." "Or else you'd be kind." "To please me." "To keep me." "You think you're kind?" "Bastard." "You still need me to be kind." "With Jean-Jacques, you don't need anything." "You can't break him anymore." "Fuck you." "Stop harassing me." "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Help me now." "I'm scared of you!" "You've turned me into a monster." "It's true." "I'm sullied." "I'm sorry." "Paul is mistaken." "Valerie doesn't need kindness." "Her lack of tenderness is not hard to explain." "It's simply a question of Valerie's nature." "As Kundera wrote: "Tenderness is the fear of adulthood"." "Valerie fears nothing of the sort, having no childhood nostalgia." "A child wholly integrated into the adult world, she is furious that anyone else can stake claim to childhood." "It's no big deal." "It's not the end of the world." "Let me." "Sylvia..." "So you've moved in?" "Almost..." " Where's the tea?" " Here." "Is it really over with Paul?" "I don't know him." "Are you crazy?" "If you leave Paul, I'll want to take him." "It's only normal." "Don't touch Paul." "Keep him." "I won't know." "If you leave him, I'll take him." " Don't take him, slut!" " What happened?" "I'll never forgive you." "Screw you." "You'll pay for that." "So... what will it be?" "Now tell your friends that I've hit you." "Tell them!" "Do you have a cigarette?" "I never hit you, but you hit me the other day." "I did not hit you the other day." "What?" " I smell trouble." " What?" "Say that again!" "Yeah, I slapped you." "I didn't hit you." "I slapped you." "Enough, Valerie." "That's great." "Humiliate me." "Do you like making me look like a crackpot?" "Hello." "My name is Marie-Christine Carle." "I'll be teaching you English translation this year." "First let me congratulate you on being accepted." "Over the year we'll be working in various domains." "Today I've chosen science..." "Imagine you're at a colloquium about the Earth." "Let's use the booths..." "I did my internship in Maine for six months." "We went to New York on the weekends." "It was cool." "Where did you do yours?" "In England." "In Liverpool." "Really?" "Was it depressing?" "No, it was okay." "Yeah, why not..." "Can I have a bag?" "Esther." "Born..." "February 5, 1967." "Any serious diseases?" "Operations?" "Are you usually regular?" "No children, I imagine?" "No abortions or miscarriages?" "The pill?" "I've been taking the pill since I was 14." "Have you any reason to think you're pregnant?" "Have you forgotten your pill?" "I have sexual relations... but not many in the past few months." "Last month, I had sex once." "And the month before, three times." "But I never forget my pill and I've been fine for 10 years." "It bothers me not to have my period." "What's wrong?" "I'm 3 months late with my period." "Has it ever happened to you?" "No." "Yes, sometimes." "Did you take any precautions last time with Paul?" "Did he take any?" "You're fine." "Small, mobile uterus." "It hasn't undergone any changes." "No sign of pregnancy." "At least, not today." "You've had no relations since the last time?" "Have you stopped taking the pill?" "I stopped a month ago." "If you took your temperature correctly, this curve indicates that you're not ovulating." "Nothing's off balance." "Your ovaries have yet to resume their normal function." "When will they?" "You're not sick." "They will." "It can take time, but they will." "But when?" "Can't we do something?" "If you want, we can speed things up." " How?" " With tablets." "What kind?" "It's a hormonal treatment which will stimulate your ovaries which have become inactive after your years on the pill." "We're talking about female hormones?" "Perfectly female." "Don't worry." "They're female." "Three months have gone by." "Paul has lost Sylvia and Esther." "He is still seeing Valerie, who is still with Jean-Jacques." "Paul's resignation was accepted." "He is toiling away at his thesis." "Today Paul will receive the ultimate humiliation, which he'll consider the nadir of his decline." "He does not yet realize that the humiliation will open the royal path to the recognition of others." "Humiliated, Paul will encounter otherness for the first time." "What Frederic Rabier will be offering him is the entire world, which Paul had lost." "He saw you." "I don't think so." "He didn't say hello." "Worse, he didn't even see me." "I don't exist." "Not at all." "It's worse." "He saw you and clearly chose to ignore you." "Who cares whether I exist for him or whether he pisses me off?" "That's true." "In any case, you could have said hello first." "Never." "I got rid of his shitty little monkey!" "I'm not asking for thanks, just a simple hello." "That's all. "Hello"." ""For treatment of:" ""Colds, allergies, sore throat and the flu..."" "Hi, Paul." "Look, Maj Britt." "It's Paul." "Meet Kierkegaard's great-great-niece." " Stop that." " But it's true." "Don't kiss me." "I'm very sick." "Serious treatment!" "I told you not to say hello." "Fuck that shithead." "He's wicked dumb." "Stop talking like me." "It's annoying." "What?" "Isn't he dumb?" "No, it's the "wicked"." ""Wicked dumb."" "You do everything like me, all the time." "Wherever I go," "I can feel you imitating me." "You ape my every move!" "Stop it!" "Imitate someone else." "Imitate Jean-Jacques." "Give me a break." "Or Nathan, if you think Jean-Jacques is too dumb." "I hid this in your room." "I just had to have it." "Not bad!" "Why is this in my mother's house?" "If the Grouper found it at my place, she'd kill me." "You can't use it yet." "I'm anticipating things." "And I don't use it." "It's nice." "I'd have liked a doctor's kit." "Or a fashion designer's?" "Or a magician's?" "No, a doctor's." "The Virgin's modernity, Her radicalness, is that the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception was created at the same time as gynecology." "In the 18th century, Sade had no idea what ovulation was." "The spermatozoid was thought to come from the vas deferens." "Sperm from God." "The Incarnation remained intact." "The question is:" "Now that ovulation has been discovered, how can we defend Christ's Incarnation?" "The Protestants mustn't scare us silly." "If Paradise isn't for the here and now, it's useless." "Do you believe?" "Yes and no." "It's impossible." "Then become Protestant!" "I'm not looking for recruits." "Ivan is not Protestant." "I believe in the Virgin, the Eucharist, the Saints, the Pope, the Sacrament..." "His studies were faultless." "He is dedicated to Christ." "Inside, I see vanity." "I'm his adviser." "The diocesan delegate must not consider applicant's insides." "To all appearances, he believes in God." "Everyone has doubts." "In the Talmud, dreaming of a palm tree signifies royalty." "Rabier was hanging from it." "Then Rabier will be king." "Rabier wants to take my place as king." "That scares you." "No, I don't want to teach." "I'll finish my thesis and resign." "In the dream, being king isn't enough for him." "He has to be one at my expense." "But it was your dream." "That doesn't matter." "Dreams come from the unconscious." "That bastard has me dreaming of his unconscious so I know how much he hates me." " I bet he doesn't even realize." " He must!" "He gave you his dream on purpose." "No, I know him." "He doesn't care." "It's unconscious." "Did he humiliate me intentionally?" "I don't care anyway." "He should have said hello first." "Jesus, Nathan..." "How can I settle all this?" "Tomorrow is Yom Kippur." "Maybe he'll ask for forgiveness." "Tomorrow is Yom Kippur." "I was joking." "He won't come asking for forgiveness." "If he doesn't, it's because he thinks" "I'll refuse and ridicule him." "He thinks I'm a snob." "If he knew how open-minded I am, he'd do it." "I was joking." "It was stupid." "It doesn't concern you." "No, I have to accept him as a living human being." "Exactly." "If you deny him the initiative to ask for forgiveness, you negate him." "He's himself and you're yourself." "That means he can want to piss you off, right?" "For his own reasons, right?" "There's something you don't realize." "People find us cold and harsh." "I keep people at an awful distance." "I'm sure he'd like to ask for forgiveness." "He thinks I'll take advantage of the situation to make fun of him." " I have to make the first move." " Don't do it." "You'll kill him." "If I explain to him who I am, he'll understand." "Ivan!" "You don't believe in God!" "Why are you praying?" "I'm praying for Mom, like you." "Take that off!" "It's a joke." "Don't worry." "Are you becoming a priest because of me?" "No!" "What an idiot!" "If you have something to forgive me, go ahead." "Are you okay?" "Hello." "It's Yom Kippur." "What do you want?" "It's hard to explain." "We were friends." "Today I finally feel I'm at peace with myself." "It's taken years." "I'm thrilled for you." "But I'm not happy yet." "I feel that you humiliated me." "Get lost." "I don't know you." "Yes... you do." "And you're not happy either." "It was stupid to humiliate me." "Now I know why." "Yesterday, I didn't know what you had against me:" "That I'm a snob." "You're insane." "Miss!" "Miss!" "Of course that's it." "You're reluctant to ask me to forgive you." "You're afraid I'll take advantage of you." "Beat it." "I don't know you." "I've come to answer the question you won't ask." " So you can ask it." " You're insane!" "I have nothing to ask you." "Just one thing!" "If you ever want to say "Paul, will you forgive me?"" "I'll say: "Yes, no problem."" "Get lost." "Are you okay?" " Can I come in?" " Get lost!" "He hurt me." "I'm badly hurt!" "He slammed his finger in the door." "Paul Dedalus seriously hurt me!" "Father Janvier, Bob." "The records are shit." "We looked around." " Trying to save the party?" " Yeah, the DJ is a total loser." "Do you know this one?" "Is Paul here?" "Yeah, but his "wife" came with her husband." "The Roman?" "What are you doing here?" ""Log-Buster" is here." "That's why I'm stuck here, waiting." "It's no big deal." "Why couldn't she come alone?" "It's not her fault." "She came with her boyfriend." "Got any tranquilizers?" "Take one." "Wine, no gin." "I'll come back." "Yesterday I had to lie to Paul." "It was easy." "He came up with it himself." "He's such a coward." "I had do it so he'd understand." "In a way, what I told him isn't a lie." "Telling him I'd been raped made him understand what it means to be a woman." "I'm coming." "Ready to go?" "I found your bag." "You have no picture of me." "Give me one then." "I was wondering whether you still see your father." "I'm pretty courageous." "So why didn't I go to the cops for a vaginal smear?" "I have a hard time believing your stories." "What stories?" "You don't need shit like that to keep me." "If only I was sure..." "You don't need that to keep me." "So tell me the truth." "You're pretty plucky." "I like that." "So am I." "You want to hear about a rape?" "Will that excite you?" "You want details?" " It doesn't excite me." " It does, and that's normal." " What do you know about rape?" " Nothing." "You're enjoying yourself." "Shut me up with fake tales of woe." "What are you taking out on me?" " We're together." " Then give me your keys." "What's this key shit?" "I'm all yours." "I'm alone." "I wait for you." "You come and go..." "I wait until you're free." "Why are you so violent?" "You're not reliable." "Give me something." "Stop!" "Answer me!" "What is this all about?" "The real question is:" "Do you love me?" "You have no love to give." "You have to believe me." "I believe that you're in pain." "But you're lying." "Are you for abortion?" "Stop it..." "Are you for or against?" "It's impossible for me." "It doesn't exist." "Too bad." "It's going to be hard to choose." "Oh shit." "They'll do without you." "They've lasted 2000 years." "They'll manage." "I've been slaving away for 8 months." " My shitty sacramental life!" " Relax, you'll be a daddy." "Three kids is better than two." "Less jealousy." "It's not the end of the world." "Let's go to your place." "Answer me." " What goes on in my head counts?" " Answer me." "Or does your head always get priority?" "Your head on a platter." "Mr Martyr." "Do I scare you?" "Your cock on a platter." "You want to go mingle with your cock on a platter?" " And the harpy who cut it off?" " Stop!" "You're the scary one." "I'm not scary." "We're the same." "I'm not scary either." "Valerie!" "Will we see each other?" "Listen, you're sad." "Me?" "I'm happy." "You're the sad one." "You want connections and ties." "You want to enter my mind and me to enter yours." "That's because you're sad." "And because I'm happy, I love you as an object." "I found you pretty." "I wanted to reach out, to touch you, to grab you." "I'll die without you." "No, you'll be fine." "You're in great shape." "There's one pleasure I'll always feel, even when I'm depressed, or in a rut, or when I can't move." "It'll never change." "It's the surprise when I stick my hand in the panties of a girl I don't know." "It scares me each time." "It's always different." "And it's so strange." "I'm no Don Juan." "I haven't slept around that much." "But it's the moment when I feel alive." "Some people say it's always the same." "That a pussy's a pussy." "That boys are different and girls are the same." "But each girl is so incredibly different down there!" "It's not about infidelity." "Even with some girls I know, when I put my hand there, it's weird." "It's hard to explain." "When you tell people, they say:" ""Just get used to it." "Grow up."" "Or they tease you:" ""You must be a lousy lay."" "It's funny when you know how most people screw." "Some people frown and say: "I hope there's more to your life than that!"" "And there's no more to their lives, not even that!" "That's my greatest pleasure, when I realize life's worth living even if it's unbearable." "It's not Heidegger climbing some fucking mountain." "No, it's the girl's face, it's your fear, as you pull back the elastic, her belly..." "You see?" "Don't let people say:" ""Give it up." "There's better."" "There's nothing better in life." "So make the most of it." "It's a lot as it is." " Are you in good shape?" " Sure." "Can I see?" "No way!" " Are you okay?" " Yeah." "What are you up to?" "Same as you." "I don't want to be friends." "If we see each other, we sleep together." "We're not together now." "What kind of love do you have?" "Of course we're not together." "And afterwards?" "After, you'll see other girls." "You'll think: "Our relationship is no good anymore."" "You'll have "adult relationships"." "But what kind of love can come to a halt?" "You tell me all sorts of stuff." "That it's better for me to grow..." "What a stupid thing to say!" "If you heard a guy telling a girl about becoming an adult, you'd think he's an asshole!" "I want more!" "A lot more!" "I want you..." "to love me to death, forever!" "Now you'll have to love me without me because you decided to leave me." "I don't want you to grow old." "Stay as you are." "Because it pleases me." "I like you the way you are." "It's depressing to hear you talk about being sensible, like:" ""We need to mature." Before you know it, you ripen and rot!" "I'll love you forever." "More than you think." "You'll be sorry." "I know." "You agree we can't get back together." "Of course." "Just don't tell me you've matured, or learned things." "We never should have gone out." "I knew it when I was 17 and you kissed me for the first time." "Of course you make me unhappy." "Is that why you say you never really loved me?" "How stupid!" "Are we right with some loves and wrong in others?" "I don't want anything to do with love where we're right." "Should I find a translator who wants to be a daddy?" "How fucking miserable." "Don't worry." "I'll do it, sooner or later." "It's miserable because it's inevitable." "It's like when people say:" ""Think ahead, youth fades."" "How stupid!" "Because we grow old and die, should we date fuddy-duddies?" "Will you live thinking about growing old?" "Of course." "You'll be surprised once you've grown old." "It'll be too late." "And I bet you do date fuddy-duddies." "But don't tell me." "It's the part of your life that's worthless." "I'm the infinite part." "You're my homeland." "I won't get better as I grow older." "We'll make do." "I'm the best part of you." "Don't lose me." "Even if we're not together, you're mine." "No, I'm not." "I don't want you to be my widow." "I don't need your consent." "Don't worry." "I'll have fun." "I'll be a merry widow." "So I'm dead?" "Leaving me was your death." "It serves you right." "I have to go." "You sound like a priest!" "Kiss me." "Better!" "Hello, Paul?" "For me, you're dead!" "I like it." " Really?" " Yes." "A lot." "Have you withdrawn your resignation?" "My thesis is over." "Now I can pump gas." "I'm so happy you like it." "I'd have hated myself." "I've been so unbearable." "I think it should be published." "By you?" "You'll have 200 readers and the pay is lousy." "But I don't know who else would want it." "It's great and it won't interest a soul." "You're publishing me?" "In three months." "But I won't be able to do everything." "Do you know anyone who can proof-read and do the index?" "No." "No one." "Why don't you ask Sylvia?" "She's good." "It'd bother her." "I barely know her." "I'll do it myself." "Ask her." "She's not busy these days." "She'll be stopping by." "I wouldn't want her to do it because of you." "It would be dishonest." "I just finished Paul's thesis." "400 pages." "Very dense, very good." "I thought you might help with the publication." "Give me the keys." "Good idea, no?" "I'll leave you to discuss it." "Anyway, it's decided." "I don't know how to thank you." "I'll meet you downstairs in a minute." "It's not my fault." "I didn't ask." "Don't run off yet." "Not so fast." "I don't know you." "Stay a minute for Nathan's sake." "We can't start acting hysterical now." "We look stupid." "For Nathan's sake, we'll sit it out for 10 minutes." "You're pathetic." "You're gloating." "I won't give in." "You're pissed about Valerie." "You didn't want me." "Don't blackmail me, asshole!" "I don't care." "The two of you disgust me." "I'm dying to be with you." "Yeah, I know, you're with Nathan and I'm thrilled." "It's a no-win situation." "You expect me to fight it?" "I always knew you'd never leave Nathan." "That's not the point." "But one day I realized I loved you more than any other girl." "Now I think you loved me too." "But it didn't get me anywhere." "I wanted you to say it." "I'm not lucky enough to be with you." "I'm not lucky and I wanted you to say it." "Or the opposite." "Tell me you don't love me if you didn't love me." "I don't love you." "But I don't believe you." "You see?" "All I see is that you're not insisting." "If I say it, it wouldn't be enough." "Stop it!" "That's just empty rhetoric." "I've been battling for you to say something." "I'm tired now." "If you don't love me, you should have said so before." "I wouldn't have spoiled your life." "You didn't spoil my life." "Can't you say that I made it great for you?" "Wouldn't that be nicer?" "It'd be just a white lie." "Can't you tell me that life with me was great?" "Come on." "You're asking a lot there." "Listen," "I'll give you something." "Are you listening?" "I changed you." "In your pompous way, you think you can't be changed because you're so smart." "You're a little smart, but just a little." "That's for your pride." "Before me, you were worse." "A whole lot worse." "Then we had our thing... and now you're a little different." "It's great that you can change." "Are you sure you changed me?" "Yeah, it's totally obvious." "It's nice of you to tell me." "I'll hang up now." "Just one thing." "Did I change you?" "Yeah, a lot." "But you know that." "No, I don't." "Sleep well." "'Night." "Since leaving Esther," "Paul was haunted by the idea that he'd never known her." "For ten years, she filled a role which had existed before her and would exist after." "This involuntary cynicism seemed to destroy ten years of memories." "He only loved himself." ""I changed you." Sylvia's words restored Esther to Paul and Paul to the world." "Of course he could know others, because others changed him." "His blindness mattered little." "Sylvia, with whom he'd had only a few trysts, whom the rules of adultery forced him to ignore the few times he saw her with Nathan," "Sylvia sufficed to change him." "He remembered the idiot he was before she tamed him." "If their slight affair provoked such a miracle, then Esther must have thoroughly changed him." "Though he was no longer with her, he carried her within himself indelibly." "He would always be "Paul who'd been 10 years with Esther."" "The old Paul was dead." "He did not live for naught."

"You cannot pass!" "Gandalf!" "I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor." "Go back to the Shadow." "The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn!" "You shall not pass!" "No!" "No!" "Gandalf!" "Fly, you fools." "No!" "Gandalf!" "Gandalf!" "What is it, Mr. Frodo?" "Nothing." "Just a dream." "Can you see the bottom?" "No!" "Don't look down, Sam!" "Just keep going!" "Catch it!" "Grab it, Mr. Frodo!" "Mr. Frodo!" "I think I've found the bottom." "Bogs and rope, and goodness knows what." "It's not natural." "None of it." "What's in this?" "Nothing." "Just a bit of seasoning." "I thought maybe if we was having a roast chicken one night or something." "Roast chicken?" "!" "You never know." "Sam." "My dear Sam." "It's very special, that." "It's the best salt in all the Shire." "It is special." "It's a little bit of home." "We can't leave this here for someone to follow us down." "Who's gonna follow us down here, Mr. Frodo?" "It's a shame, really." "Lady Galadriel gave me that." "Real Elvish rope." "Well, there's nothing for it." "It's one of my knots." "Won't come free in a hurry." "Real Elvish rope." "Mordor." "The one place in Middle-earth we don't want to see any closer." "And it's the one place we're trying to get to." "It's just where we can't get." "Let's face it, Mr. Frodo, we're lost." "I don't think Gandalf meant for us to come this way." "He didn't mean for a lot of things to happen, Sam..." "... buttheydid." "Mr. Frodo?" "It's the Ring, isn't it?" "It's getting heavier." "What food have we got left?" "Let me see." "Oh, yes." "Lovely." "Lembas bread." "And look!" "More lembas bread." "I don't usually hold with foreign food..." "... butthisElvishstuff,it's notbad." "Nothing ever dampens your spirits, does it, Sam?" "Those rain clouds might." "This looks strangely familiar." "It's because we've been here before." "We're going in circles." "What is that horrid stink?" "I warrant there's a nasty bog nearby." "Can you smell it?" "Yes." "I can smell it." "We're not alone." "The thieves." "The thieves." "The filthy little thieves." "Where is it?" "Where is it?" "They stole it from us." "My precious." "Curse them, we hates them!" "It's ours, it is, and we wants it!" "This is Sting." "You've seen it before..." "... haven'tyou,Gollum?" "Release him or I'll cut your throat." "It burns!" "It burns us!" "It freezes!" "Nasty Elves twisted it." "Take it off us!" "Quiet, you!" "It's hopeless." "Every Orc in Mordor's going to hear this racket." "Let's just tie him up and leave him." "No!" "That would kill us!" "Kill us!" "It's no more than you deserve!" "Maybe he does deserve to die." "But now that I see him, I do pity him." "We be nice to them if they be nice to us." "Take it off us." "We swears to do what you wants." "We swears." "There's no promise you can make that I can trust." "We swears..." "... toservethemaster of the precious." "We will swear on..." "... ontheprecious." "Gollum." "Gollum." "The Ring is treacherous." "It will hold you to your word." "Yes..." "... ontheprecious." "On the precious." "I don't believe you!" "Get down!" "I said, down!" "Sam!" "He's trying to trick us." "If we let him go, he'll throttle us in our sleep." "You know the way to Mordor?" "Yes." "You've been there before?" "Yes." "You will lead us to the Black Gate." "To the Gate, to the Gate!" "To the Gate, the master says." "Yes!" "No!" "We won't go back." "Not there." "Not to him." "They can't make us." "Gollum!" "Gollum!" "But we swore to serve the master of the precious." "No." "Ashes and dust and thirst there is, and pits, pits, pits." "And Orcses, thousands of Orcses." "And always the Great Eye watching, watching." "Hey!" "Come back now!" "Come back!" "There!" "What did I tell you?" "He's run off, the old villain." "So much for his promises." "This way, Hobbits." "Follow me!" "Merry!" "Merry!" "You're late." "Our master grows impatient." "He wants the Shire-rats now." "I don't take orders from Orc-maggots." "Saruman will have his prize." "We will deliver them." "Merry!" "Merry?" "Wake up." "My friend is sick." "He needs water." "Please!" "Sick, is he?" "Give him some medicine, boys!" "Stop it!" "Can't take his draught!" "Leave him alone!" "Why?" "You want some?" "Then keep your mouth shut." "Merry." "Hello, Pip." "You're hurt." "I'm fine." "It was just an act." "An act?" "See?" "I fooled you too." "Don't worry about me, Pippin." "What is it?" "What do you smell?" "Man-flesh." "They've picked up our trail." "Aragorn." "Let's move!" "Their pace has quickened." "They must have caught our scent." "Hurry!" "Come on, Gimli!" "Three days and nights pursuit." "No food." "No rest." "And no sign of our quarry, but what bare rock can tell." "Not idly do the leaves of Lórien fall." "They may yet be alive." "Less than a day ahead of us." "Come." "Come, Gimli!" "We're gaining on them!" "I'm wasted on cross-country." "We Dwarves are natural sprinters." "Very dangerous over short distances." "Rohan." "Home of the Horse-Iords." "There's something strange at work here." "Some evil gives speed to these creatures." "Sets its will against us." "Legolas!" "What do your Elf-eyes see?" "The Uruks turn northeast." "They are taking the Hobbits to Isengard." "Saruman." "The world is changing." "Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard..." "... AndMordor?"

Andtheironfistsofthe Orc." "I want them armed and ready to march within two weeks!" "But, my lord, there are too many!" "We cannot all be armed in time, we don't have the means." "Build a dam, block the stream, work the furnaces night and day." "We don't have enough fuel to feed the fires." "The Forest of Fangorn lies on our doorstep." "Burn it." "Yes." "We will fight for you." "Swear it." "We will die for Saruman." "The Horse-Men took your lands." "They drove your people into the hills to scratch a living off rocks." "Murderers!" "Take back the lands they stole from you." "Burn every village!" "We have only to remove those who oppose us." "It will begin in Rohan." "Too long have these peasants stood against you." "But no more." "Éothain!" "Éothain!" "You take your sister." "You'll go faster with just two." "Papa says Éothain must not ride Garulf." "He is too big for him." "Listen to me." "You must ride to Edoras and raise the alarm." "Do you understand me?" "Yes, Mama." "I don't want to leave." "I don't want to go, Mama." "Freda, I will find you there." "Quickly!" "Go, child." "Rohan, my lord..." "... isreadyto fall." "Théodred." "Find the king's son!" "Mordor will pay for this." "These Orcs are not from Mordor." "My Lord Éomer, over here!" "He's alive." "Théodred."

"Saruman the White has ever been our friend and ally." "Grýma." "Grýma." "Grýma." "Orcs are roaming freely across our lands." "Unchecked." "Unchallenged." "Killing at will." "Orcs bearing the White Hand of Saruman." "Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind?" "Can you not see?" "Your uncle is wearied by your malcontent..." "... yourwarmongering." "Warmongering?" "How long is it since Saruman bought you?" "What was the promised price, Grýma?" "When all the Men are dead, you will take your share of the treasure?" "Too long have you watched my sister." "Too long have you haunted her steps." "You see much, Éomer, son of Éomund." "Too much." "You are banished forthwith from the kingdom of Rohan..." "... andallitsdomains under pain of death." "You have no authority here." "Your orders mean nothing." "This order does not come from me." "It comes from the king." "He signed it this morning."

"It's a bog." "He's led us into a swamp." "A swamp, yes, yes." "Come, master." "We will take you on safe paths through the mist." "Come, Hobbits!" "Come!" "We go quickly." "I found it." "I did." "The way through the marshes." "Orcs don't use it." "Orcs don't know it." "They go around for miles and miles." "Come quickly." "Soft and quick as shadows we must be." "I hate this place." "It's too quiet." "There's been no sight nor sound of a bird for two days." "No, no birdses to eat." "No crunchable birdses." "And we are famished!" "Yes!" "Famished we are, precious!" "Here." "What does it eats?" "Is it tasty?" "It tries to chokes us!" "We can't eats Hobbit food!" "We must starve!" "Well, starve, then." "And good riddance!" "Oh, cruel Hobbit."

"Cold be heart and hand and bone Cold be travelers far from home" "He said your life was a sad story." "They do not see what lies ahead When sun has failed and moon is dead" "You were not so very different from a Hobbit once." "Were you?" "Sméagol." "What did you call me?"

"He will put a spell on us." "We must be quick." "You are tracking the footsteps of two young Hobbits." "Where are they?" "They passed this way the day before yesterday." "They met someone they did not expect." "Does that comfort you?" "Who are you?" "Show yourself!" "It cannot be." "Forgive me." "I mistook you for Saruman." "I am Saruman."

"We can't get past that." "Look!" "The gate." "It's opening!" "I can see a way down." "Sam, no!" "Master!" "I do not ask you to come with me, Sam." "I know, Mr. Frodo." "I doubt even these Elvish cloaks will hide us in there." "Now!" "No!" "No!" "No, master!" "They catch you!" "They catch you!" "Don't take it to him." "He wants the precious." "Always he is looking for it." "And the precious is wanting to go back to him." "But we mustn't let him have it." "No!" "There's another way." "More secret." "A dark way."

"I don't know why I said that." "I do." "It's the Ring." "You can't take your eyes off it." "I've seen you." "You're not eating." "You barely sleep." "It's taken hold of you, Mr. Frodo." "You have to fight it." "I know what I have to do, Sam." "The Ring was entrusted to me." "It's my task." "Mine!" "My own!" "Can't you hear yourself?" "Don't you know who you sound like?"

"Eat them!" "You'll make him sick, you will..." "... behavinglikethat." "There's only one way to eat a brace of coneys." "What's it doing?" "Stupid, fat Hobbit." "It ruins it." "What's to ruin?" "There's hardly any meat on them." "What we need is a few good taters." "What's taters, precious?" "What's taters?" "Eh?" "Po-ta-toes." "Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew."

"It won't be long now." "He will soon be ready." "Ready to do what?" "To make his war." "The last war that will cover all the world in Shadow." "We've got to get moving." "Come on, Sam." "Mr. Frodo." "Look." "It's an oliphaunt." "No one at home will believe this." "Sméagol?" "We've lingered here too long." "Come on, Sam." "Wait!" "We're innocent travelers!" "There are no travelers in this land." "Only servants of the Dark Tower." "We are bound to an errand of secrecy." "Those that claim to oppose the enemy would do well not to hinder us." "The enemy?" "His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem." "You wonder what his name is..." "... wherehecamefrom." "And if he was really evil at heart." "What lies or threats led him on this long march from home." "If he would not rather have stayed there..." "... inpeace." "War will make corpses of us all." "Bind their hands."

"Nobody panic." "That was deliberate." "It was deliberate." "I haven't seen my niece smile for a long time." "She was a girl when they brought her father back dead." "Cut down by Orcs." "She watched her mother succumb to grief." "Then she was left alone, to tend her king in growing fear." "Doomed to wait upon an old man, who should have loved her as a father." "Gimli." "No, I couldn't." "I really couldn't." "I made some stew." "It isn't much, but it's hot." "Thank you." "It's good." "Really?" "My uncle told me a strange thing." "He said that you rode to war with Thengel, my grandfather." "But he must be mistaken." "King Théoden has a good memory." "He was only a small child at the time." "Then you must be at least 60." "Seventy?" "But you cannot be 80!" "Eighty-seven." "You are one of the Dûnedain." "A descendant of Nûmenor, blessed with long life." "It was said that your race had passed into legend." "There are few of us left." "The Northern Kingdom was destroyed long ago." "I'm sorry." "Please, eat." "The light of the Evenstar does not wax and wane." "It is mine to give to whom I will."

"Trust us." "Where is she?" "The woman who gave you that jewel." "Our time here is ending." "Arwen's time is ending." "Let her go." "Let her take the ship into the west." "Let her bear away her love for you to the Undying Lands." "There it will be ever green." "But never more than memory." "I will not leave my daughter here to die." "She stays because she still has hope." "She stays for you." "She belongs with her people." "Is this how you would take your leave?" "Did you think you could slip away at first light - unnoticed?" "I will not be coming back." "You underestimate your skill in battle." "You will come back." "It is not of death in battle that I speak." "What do you speak of?" "You have a chance for another life..." "Away from war... grief...despair." "Why are you saying this?" "I am mortal." "You are Elf-kind." "It was a dream, Arwen." "Nothing more." "I don't believe you." "This belongs to you." "It was a gift." "Keep it." "My lord?" "She is sailing to the Undying Lands with all that is left of her kin." "What is it?" "Háma?" "I'm not sure." "Wargs!" "A scout!" "What is it?" "What do you see?" "Warg!" "We're under attack!" "Get them out of here!" "All riders to the head of the column." "Come on." "Get me up here." "I'm a rider." "Come on!" "You must lead the people to Helm's Deep, and make haste." "I can fight." "No!" "You must do this, for me." "Follow me!" "Forward." "I mean, charge forward." "Make for the lower ground!" "That's it!" "Go on!" "Stay together!" "Bring your pretty face to my ax." "That one counts as mine!" "Stinking creature." "Aragorn!" "Aragorn?" "Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing." "He's..." "... dead." "He took a little tumble off the cliff." "You lie." "Get the wounded on horses." "The wolves of Isengard will return." "Leave the dead." "Come." "At last!" "Helm's Deep." "There it is, Helm's Deep." "We're safe!" "We're safe, my lady." "Thank you." "Mama!" "Éothain!" "Freda!" "Where is the rest?" "This is all we could save, my lady." "Take it to the caves." "Make way for the king." "Make way for Théoden." "Make way for the king." "So few." "So few of you have returned." "Our people are safe." "We have paid for it with many lives." "My lady." "Lord Aragorn..." "... whereishe ?" "He fell." "Draw all our forces behind the wall." "Bar the gate." "And set a watch on the surround." "What of those who cannot fight, my lord?"

"So close to achieving its goal." "For Sauron will have dominion over all life on this Earth..." "... Evenuntototheending of the world." "The time of the Elves..." "... isover." "Do we leave Middle-earth to its fate?" "Do we let them stand alone?" "What news?" "Our scouts report Saruman has attacked Rohan." "Théoden's people have fled to Helm's Deep." "But we must look to our own borders." "Faramir, Orcs are on the move." "Sauron is marshaling an army." "Easterlings and Southrons are at the Black Gate." "How many?" "Some thousands." "More come every day." "Who's covering the river to the north?" "We pulled 500 men at Osgiliath." "If their city is attacked, we won't hold it." "Saruman attacks from Isengard." "Sauron from Mordor." "The fight will come to Men on both fronts." "Gondor is weak." "Sauron will strike us soon." "And he will strike hard." "He knows now we do not have the strength to repel him." "My men tell me that you are Orc spies." "Spies?" "Now wait just a minute." "Well, if you're not spies, then who are you?" "Speak." "We are Hobbits of the Shire." "Frodo Baggins is my name, and this is Samwise Gamgee." "Your bodyguard?" "His gardener." "And where is your skulking friend?" "That gangrel creature." "He had an ill-favored look." "There was no other." "We set out from Rivendell with seven companions." "One we lost in Moria..." "... twoweremy kin..." "... aDwarftherewas also." "And an Elf and two Men." "Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and Boromir of Gondor." "You're a friend of Boromir?" "Yes." "For my part." "It will grieve you then to learn that he is dead." "Dead?" "How?" "When?" "As one of his companions, I'd hoped you would tell me." "If something has happened to Boromir, we would have you tell us." "His horn washed up upon the riverbank, about six days past." "It was cloven in two." "But more than this, I know it in my heart." "He was my brother." "Boromir!" "Boromir!" "This city was once the jewel of our kingdom." "A place of light and beauty and music." "And so it shall be once more!" "Let the armies of Mordor know this:" "Never again will the land of my people fall into enemy hands." "This city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed for Gondor!" "For Gondor!" "For Gondor!" "For Gondor!" "For Gondor!" "Good speech." "Nice and short." "Leaves more time for drinking!" "Break out the ale!" "These men are thirsty!" "Remember today, little brother." "Today, life is good." "What?" "He's here." "Moment of peace, can he not give us that?" "Where is he?" "Where is Gondor's finest?" "Where's my first-born?" "Father!" "They say you vanquished the enemy almost single-handedly." "They exaggerate." "The victory belongs to Faramir also." "But for Faramir, this city would still be standing." "Were you not entrusted to protect it?" "I would have done, but our numbers were too few." "Oh, too few." "You let the enemy walk in and take it on a whim." "Always you cast a poor reflection on me." "That is not my intent." "You give him no credit, and yet he tries to do your will." "He loves you, Father." "Do not trouble me with Faramir..." "... I knowhisuses,andtheyarefew ." "We have more urgent things to speak of." "Elrond of Rivendell has called a meeting." "He will not say why, but I have guessed its purpose." "It is rumored that the weapon of the enemy has been found." "The One Ring." "Isildur's Bane." "It has fallen into the hands of the Elves." "Everyone will try to claim it:" "Men, Dwarves, wizards." "We cannot let that happen." "This thing must come to Gondor." "Gondor." "It's dangerous, I know." "Ever the Ring will seek to corrupt the hearts of lesser Men." "But you, you are strong." "And our need is great." "It is our blood which is being spilled, our people who are dying." "Sauron is biding his time." "He's massing fresh armies." "He will return." "And when he does, we will be powerless to stop him." "You must go." "Bring me back this mighty gift." "No." "My place is here with my people." "Not in Rivendell." "Would you deny your own father?" "Lf there is need to go to Rivendell..." "... sendmein hisstead." "You?" "Oh, I see." "A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality." "I think not." "I trust this mission only to your brother." "The one who will not fail me." "Remember today, little brother." "Captain Faramir!" "We found the third one." "You must come with me." "Now." "Down there." "To enter the Forbidden Pool bears the penalty of death." "They wait for my command." "Shall I shoot?"

"What renown is there in that?" "My lady, a time may come for valor without renown." "Who then will your people look to in the last defense?" "Let me stand at your side." "It is not in my power to command it." "You do not command the others to stay!" "They fight beside you because they would not be parted from you." "Because they love you." "I'm sorry."

"But that will lead you past Isengard." "Yes." "Exactly." "If we go south, we can slip past Saruman unnoticed." "The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm."

"Tell him Faramir sends a mighty gift." "A weapon that will change our fortunes in this war." "Do you want to know what happened to Boromir?" "You want to know why your brother died?" "He tried to take the Ring from Frodo after swearing an oath to protect him!" "He tried to kill him!" "The Ring drove your brother mad!" "Watch out!" "Mr. Frodo?" "They're here." "They've come." "NazgûI!" "Stay here." "Keep out of sight." "Take cover!" "The fortress is taken." "It is over." "You said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it." "They still defend it." "They have died defending it." "They're breaking in!" "They're past the door!" "Is there no other way for the women and children to get out of the caves?" "Is there no other way?" "There is one passage." "It leads into the mountains." "But they will not get far." "The Uruk-hai are too many." "Tell the women and children to make for the mountain pass."

"But we are." "It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo." "The ones that really mattered." "Full of darkness and danger they were." "And sometimes you didn't want to know the end..." "... becausehowcouldthe end behappy?" "How could the world go back to the way it was..." "... Whenso muchbad had happened?" "Victory!" "We have victory!" "But in the end, it's only a passing thing..." "... Thisshadow." "Even darkness must pass." "A new day will come." "And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer."

"Keep away from the trees!" "Final count..." "... 42." "Forty-two?" "That's not bad for a pointy-eared Elvish princeling." "I myself am sitting pretty on 43." "Forty-three." "He was already dead." "He was twitching." "He was twitching..." "... becausehe'sgotmyax embedded in his nervous system!" "He doesn't look too happy, does he?" "Not too happy at all, Merry." "Still, I suppose the view would be quite nice from up there." "Oh, yes." "It's a quality establishment." "I hear the staff are very good." "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "The world's back to normal, that's all." "No, it isn't." "I'm starving." "Good luck trying to find something decent around here." "Probably dead rats and moldy bread." "Saruman's storeroom!" "I don't believe it." "It can't be." "It is!" "Longbottom Leaf." "The finest pipe-weed in South Farthing." "It's perfect." "One barrel each." "Wait." "Do you think we should share it with Treebeard?" "Share it?" "No." "No." "Dead plant and all that." "Don't think he'd understand." "Could be a distant relative." "I get it." "Don't be hasty." "Exactly." "Bar-hrum." "This is the old sewer." "Runs right under the river through to the edge of the city." "You'll find cover in the woods there." "Captain Faramir..." "... youhaveshownyourquality,sir." "The very highest."

"May death find you quickly if you bring them to harm." "Come on, keep up." "Mr. Frodo didn't mean for them Rangers to hurt you." "You know that, don't you?" "He was trying to save you, see?" "Save me?" "So there's no hard feelings." "Forgive and forget." "No, no, no hard feelings." "Gollum, Gollum." "Yes, master." "Nice Hobbits." "Very decent of you." "Very decent, indeed, Gollum."

" _" " How's it looking?" "The tail needs to be longer." "There's a man fallen here!" "Niall Swift, 32 years old, taught local kids piano." "Niall taught Marr's wee girl, said Marr always made him feel uncomfortable." "Maybe his brain was hooked out though his nose?" "You've a cold blooded predator in your town." "Niall's phone wasn't on him, I thought it'd be in here." "You found a dead body, you were white as a sheet." "I just need some time on my own." "Thank you, see you later, everybody." "Off you go!" "What you have here is a human heart." "I'll be bringing in my own team tonight, which will include Blake Albrighton." "He's a forensic psychologist." "The same day a body is found with part of its brain removed, a heart turns up and you think that's what, bad luck?" "Am I off the case?" "You're compromised." "I'm sorry." "ALBRIGHTON:" "The killer dances ahead of us, leading us through his story." "We need to make our narrative the dominant one." "And to do that, we have to understand him." "Niall Swift wasn't the first victim." "Why has the killer deprived us of that body?" "Why just the heart?" "Was it someone close to him?" "Put a name to that heart, and I believe it'll lead us straight to the killer." "Swift's diary." "One appointment the day he was killed." "Isla Marr, 8:00 a.m." "That's Dr. Marr's daughter." "She's like 9 or 10." "Susie, house call to Dr. Marr." "Jason, you go with." "Right, Swift's pupils, their parents, the names in his address book, his choir, talk to every single one of them." "And we're still to find his phone." "Forensics are working on the newspaper we found on Carn Mohr, and results will be posted later today." "Evie's plane ticket." "First class." "22,000 Aussie dollars." "My sister's buying my daughter." "Annie, we sat down." "We agreed to this." "She's not ready." "You're not ready." "Time for another one?" "Apparently." "Pretty ironic." "Evie's off in two weeks, but before she goes, she manages to screw up my career." "Oh, come on." "It's hardly your career." "[Liquid pouring]" "You know what the new D.C.I. said?" "She asked if I was a cop or a mother." "And I couldn't answer." "Right now I'm neither." "QUIGLEY:" "Isotopes will tell us where the owner of the heart was from." "We should have that information in 48 hours." "Keep in mind the heart could've been removed postmortem." "Thanks." "If you can get in touch with mortuaries..." "I just got a call from the superintendent." "He called you?" "You're in here." "I took the call." "Until there's proof the heart came from a murder victim, he wants us to proceed on the basis we're dealing with one homicide." "Did you tell him I think we need a press conference?" " SMILIE:" "Passed that on." " What did he say?" ""Dangerously counterproductive."" "ANNIE:" "Evie!" "EVIE:" "What?" "I'm so sorry." "Shouldn't have called you a bitch." "Okay." "Apology accepted." "Your plane ticket arrived." "I printed it." "Cheers, big ears." "Evie." "The heart on the shore, could Jonjo or Kieran have put it there without you seeing?" "For a second I thought you were going to say something nice." "You realize that if we don't catch the killer, you can forget about Australia?" " Are you joking?" " No." "D.C.I. Quigley released you on condition that you stay in the area." "But you will catch him." "Won't you?" "If they give me the chance." "Good of you to join us." "I'm early." "Our man on license, Leighton Thomas, who knows about him?" "Three people... myself, Chief Inspector Smilie, and his probation officer." "You socialize with him." "He works beside my husband." "It'd be odd if I didn't." " Your husband know his history?" " No." "Do you regard him as a suspect?" " Everyone's a suspect." " No, they're not." "Leighton Thomas murdered two men." "20 years ago." "I know when it happened." "His crimes appall me, but I admire the way he's turned his life around." "He went to prison, he couldn't read or write." "He came out with a degree." "I don't think he's a suspect." "Has he got a partner?" "No, not that I'm aware of." "How's his business doing?" "It's been better." "So, a sexually frustrated loner with a failing business and a history of violence, and you don't think he's a suspect?" "JONJO:" "Saw the forensic mob heading off." "All sorted, then." "All sorted?" "What, just like that?" "No "sorry" or..." " It was just a bit of fun." " KEN:" "A bit of fun?" "Your "bit of fun" could've closed us down." "Use a glass!" "It's cool." "I'm going to finish it." "And what the hell are you wearing?" " What, this old thing?" " It's my cardigan." "Take it off!" "Go on!" "Bloody ridiculous." "NICOLE:" "Get yourself dressed." "Go on." "QUIGLEY:" "We need a record of your whereabouts on Tuesday between 11:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m." "I was at work." "Can you prove that?" "You've got me documenting me entire life." "How awful." "At least you've got a life to document." "I took out tours at 11:00, 12:00, and 1:00." "I can show you ticket stubs." "Bring them in today." "We received a call naming you as the killer." "[Scoffs]" "I bet they didn't give their name." "But why would someone do that?" "Some people think I'm damaging the local economy." "Why?" "'Cause I tell the truth." "I tell tourists there is no monster." "I wish that was the case." "Why don't you just lock me up, eh?" "Listen, I know what I was, and I know who I am now." "What were you?" "You can't say it, can you?" "I was begging to survive." "You get taxed, yeah?" "That's part of the game." "But this one bloke, he'd take the lot." "He'd give me a dig, piss on my blanket every fucking day." "So I hit him." "Bit too much force." "Yeah." "I committed murder." "Is that what you want to hear?" " You got a taste for it?" " Yeah, it felt good." "So I did it again." "That's not who I am now." "That was..." "I don't even know who that was." "D.S. Redford?" " Annie?" " Yeah, I'm here." "What the hell are you doing down there?" "I've got an important job for you." "Oh." "SMILIE:" "Need you to drive up to the Wildlife Center." "Some zoomer's released a couple of wolves." "Right." "Thanks." "Are you handing yourself in?" "Your boss wants a statement." "Don't worry." "I'll say you were competent." "Cow." "So, did Leighton say anything?" " About what?" " About me." "He asked if you did your makeup on a trampoline." "Annie." "I like him." "Don't get involved." "Trust me." "Wait here." "I think he's in his study." "Craig?" "It's the police." " Decent gaff." " Hm." "[Door closes]" "[Lock clicks]" " Morning." " Morning." " This won't take long, will it?" " No." "Please, come in." "I usually leave the college just after 1:00, run for about 40, 45 minutes." "Anyone to back that up?" "Yeah, you can ask my staff." "Are you watching your time?" "Oh, yeah, I've got to be at work in about 10 minutes, okay?" "QUIGLEY:" "Paragraph four of your statement," ""I assumed from the head injuries he was dead."" "You feel for a pulse?" "CRAIG:" "No." "ALBRIGHTON:" "You didn't touch him in any way at all?" "No." "QUIGLEY:" "Lorraine Mackeson, the woman whose phone you used, she saw you stand up and put something into your jacket." "Right." "What did you put into your jacket?" "I don't know." "No, wait." "It must have been my phone." "I couldn't get a signal, so..." "You teach classes, as well as run the college?" "Yeah, I teach whenever I can." "I still love it." "QUIGLEY:" "I interviewed some of your students about their practical joke." "CRAIG:" "Uh-huh." "Okay." "You encourage them?" "No." "They seem impressionable." "Well, they're open-minded." "Tell them off?" "I admire what they did." "Polluting a beach?" "Well, it's all part of growing up, isn't it?" "Rejecting your hometown, your parents' values." "We've all done it." "Have we?" "[Chuckles]" "He's lying about something." "Got a bit defensive, didn't he?" "Did you notice him locking the door of his study?" "QUIGLEY:" "I did." "[Grunts]" "[Breathing heavily]" " [Horn honking]" " Sh..." "You need a tow?" "Yeah." "[Vehicle approaches]" "[Engine shuts off, vehicle door opens]" "[Vehicle door closes]" "[Vehicle door opens, closes]" "[Engine starts]" "ANNIE:" "Are you sure you've got the right night?" "Pause it." "Zoom in." "[Sighs] Jonjo." "Thought you'd turned a corner." "[Cellphone chimes]" " Um, I need to go." "Is that all right?" " Yeah, I'll see you later." "You don't think that's weird?" "Not all that." "The heart on the beach." "That could be the rest of the body right there." "It's not big enough." "Uh, the guy's a doctor." "It could be body parts." "You really don't like Dr. Marr, do you?" "What's the deal?" "I had a lump." "It was nothing." "He examined me and he took too long." "Did you tell your mum?" " Are you kidding me?" " Why not?" "She already thinks I can't look after myself." "I'm not giving her more ammunition." "ALBRIGHTON:" "You got this from Carn Mohr?" "It came out the day Niall Swift was killed." "Prints?" "QUIGLEY:" "Three partial prints, one partial hypothenar." "No matches." "You think it was dropped by the killer." "Or a witness." "Pages 37 and 38 have been torn out." "Yeah, we did notice." "I need to see Carn Mohr for myself." "Do you want me to come with?" "Nah, you're good." "Thanks." "Sure." "ALAN:" "Seems to be fine." "Hey, look at my new toy." "[Case thuds]" " [Lid opens]" " Check this out." "Built-in computer." "Sends HD images to your laptop." "Sealed camera unit." "Rotates, tilts, hovers, pans." "You're looking at the future."

"These premises will have to shut until Food Standards get here." "Food Standards see that, it's game over." "Their call." "Some idiot let it out the Wildlife Center." "What's it got to do with your investigation?" "What, he's your mate, so I should turn a blind eye?" "You still operate like that?" "You report this, he's finished." "I'm not going to do that." "You are." "[Indistinct talking]" " What's going on?" " Uh, I don't really know." "Somebody's trying to get us shut down." "That's what's going on." " Well, what did Frank say?" " He says his hands are tied." "What does he mean his hands are tied?" "Look, I know this isn't ideal, but I need to talk to Jonjo." "He's at college." "I've tried there." " What is it?" " Annie needs to speak to Jonjo." "Why?" "Just a couple of questions." "He's not at college." "I can come back." "Yeah, do that." "He's upset." "That lad claims Dr. Marr gave him 20 quid to incinerate the beast." "He didn't want it attracting vermin." "Get a statement from Marr." "I know it's bullshit, but now we've got to deal with it." "Oh, and tell Evie false alarm." "[Indistinct conversations]" "[Horn honks, tires screeching]" " What an arse!" " [Car door opens]" "All right, lezzers?" "[Scratching]" "ANNIE:" "Evie!" "Shit." "Tell me she didn't see." "ANNIE:" "What's the story?" "About what?" "About the abattoir." "Jonjo uploaded a film, Dr. Marr dropping something off." "A wolf." "Right." "What did you think it was?" "I don't know." "Have you a problem with Marr?" "I'm late for class." "He's with a patient." "I'll message him." " Got your own phone." " It was my mum's." "I'm not allowed online."

" [Door closes]" "[Footsteps approach]" "Okay, Isla, scoot." "I've already spoken to a detective." "I've got a patient waiting." "One of the abattoir workers claims you paid him to incinerate a wolf carcass?" " That's why you're here?" " I need the statement corroborated." "Okay." "I ran over a wolf." "It's corroborated." "Why didn't you say that Niall Swift taught your daughter?" "At the foot of Carn Mohr, you didn't mention that he'd been in your house a few hours earlier." "Well, would that have helped?" ""He's dead, but he was alive this morning."" "Was everything okay when he left?" "I've already spoken to a detective about..." "What did you argue about?" "Are you on the investigation team?"

"Are you all right to bring me to the station?" "Uh, actually, I was going to ask if you could show me where you found the body." "If that's not a problem." "It's not a problem." " I'll sort out the car." " Thanks." "[Car door closes]" "CRAIG:" "According to Jung, we all have a shadow, a dark part of ourselves." "It's a part that we fear, but, at the same time, there is an overwhelming desire to let it loose." "Whoever keyed my motor, I'm gonna fucking have you!" "CRAIG:" "Mr. Baxter, please don't come in here making threats." "Sit down and shut up." "As I was saying," "Jung believed that the shadow was a vital part of ourselves." " How far to Carn Mohr?" " 10 minutes, then the climb." "Does this commemorate something?" "Not this one." "ALBRIGHTON:" "What is it?" "It's grown." "I pass this way three, four times a day." "Well, anyone going by could add to it, couldn't they?" "Yeah, they do, but... this has doubled in size in the last two days." "Ohh!"

"QUIGLEY:" "I've got everybody I need." "And D.S. Redford's last case involved the theft of an inflatable Nessie." "You know Dr. Marr sacked Niall Swift the morning of his murder?" "D.S. Redford got the information from his daughter." " Her local knowledge..." " We better bring him in, then." " The point I'm making is..." " I know the point you're making." "Her daughter and her pals left the bones on the beach." "Until I'm convinced they know nothing about the heart," "D.S. Redford is compromised." "Plus, you fancy her." "No, I don't." "I'm a detective." "I detect things." "She's not my type." "She's married." "She's exactly your type." "Have you ever thought about getting any help with that?" "Jonjo's phone's just ringing out." "Fucking Food Standards." "Been on hold 20 minutes." " Did you hear what I said?" " Yeah, I heard." "You don't think I've enough to deal with?" "Can you not leave that?"

"ALAN:" "Of course I'm pleased." "KIERAN:" "He sounds different." " Mum?" " Hmm?" "KIERAN:" "Do you think his breathing's easier?" "Maybe." "[Doorbell rings]" "You want to get that?" "[Gasps]" " Hiya, love." " Hi." "Is he okay?" "Yeah." "He's fine." "EVIE:" "Check your phone." "KIERAN:" "Jonjo." "He knows something about Marr." "Why would he want to meet us at Foyers Point?" "He's hiding." "What for?" "Who do you think cut the fence at the Wildlife Center?" "What a plonk." "We have wheels." "What, your mum doesn't mind?" "She doesn't know." "Who is going to give me some good news on Niall Swift's phone?" "What about the rope, Jason?" "Uh, yeah, Lochnafoy Valley stores on the main street sell a few every week." "Now, that's mainly to tourists who have hired a boat and, uh, want to tie down their weans." "But he can't remember any locals buying one." "QUIGLEY:" "Okay." "While respecting his anonymity, we need to find out the kind of rope Leighton Thomas uses." "JASON:" "Yeah, I should've mentioned," "Leighton Thomas brought in his ticket stubs for last Tuesday." "He took out tours at 11:00 a.m., 12:00, and 1:00." "So I've I photocopied them." "QUIGLEY:" "Right." "About 10 minutes ago, we got preliminary results on the gray matter found at the cairn." "As we expected, it is a sliver of brain from Niall Swift." "It was found in clear polyethylene." "QUIGLEY:" "Plastic bag." "I asked my colleagues to test the viscous material inside the bag." "Turned out to be blood." "We were able to extract DNA from the blood." "To our surprise, it didn't match the brain." "We might be looking at another victim." "Could be the killer's blood." "ALBRIGHTON:" "It's not the killer's blood." "He's too smart for that." "He's turning the screw." "It's about Jonjo." "It's probably nothing." "He's been missing since this morning." "Is that out of the ordinary for Jonjo?" "Have you caught the person who killed the piano teacher?" "No." "Well, it's out of the ordinary, then, isn't it?" "For God's sake, Frank!" "Ken?" "I'm worried about my boy." "QUIGLEY: ...colleges." "No disturbed graves." "We've a missing teenager." "Jonjo Patterson." "Our Communications Officer is organizing a media appeal for tomorrow."

"I can't see anything." " They've got their lights off." " Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure." "There's someone following us." "There, see?" "[Engine revs, tires screech]" " Slow down." "Evie!" " Well, they're right behind us." "Well, it'll be some dick who's forgot his lights." " Just let it pass." " What if it's him?" " Who?" " The killer." "What if it's him?" "I'll take my chances!" "Slow down!" "[Tires screech]" " Shit!" " Okay." "[Horn honks]" "What the hell's he doing?" "Pull over." "Get off the road." "Look, I can't." "Where am I supposed to go?" "He's getting closer!" "Kieran, what should I do?" " Oh, God." " Oh, ditches!" "[Tires screech]" " Ah." " Oh, shit!" "[Tires screech]" "Are you okay?" "My mum cannot know about this." "We could've been killed." "She finds out, I'm grounded for life." "God Almighty, Evie, you have to say something." "What good will that do?" "If that was the killer, we'd be dead." "It was just some colossal douche..." " Shit." " Drive." "[Engine sputtering]" "Oh, for fuck's sake!" "Quick!" "He's got a gun!" "Evie?" "EVIE:" "Mr. McGrellish." "Are you all right?" "[Door opens, footsteps approach]" "I thought we were going for a nightcap." "I changed my mind." "Work's easier, right?" "Complete copy of the newspaper." "He tore the crossword out of his." "Why would he do that?" "Leighton Thomas, Petrie, Marr." "I want to know why Petrie needs a locked room." "Look." "Page opposite the crossword." "Can you see that?" "ALBRIGHTON:" "Yeah, sort of." "QUIGLEY:" "If we can get that enhanced, we could have the killer's handwriting." "His first mistake." "[Rustling]" "[Lock clicks]" "[Muffled grunting]" "[Muffled screaming]" "Tell him about your encounter with Nessie." "I'm still gonna live here when you've fucked off." "Thanks to Albrighton, you're going to be operating with the world's press up your arse." "I want him gone." "D'you hear?" "This is a restricted area." "There's somebody in our town killing people!"

"Mr. Fresnay's on the set, always ready!" "Lift your boom when the kid exits." "You bet!" "We'll lift it." "Ready, ladies and gents?" "Care to see the setup, sir?" "What's with gramps?" "We're going to shoot!" "My wife's been incarcerated by the police in Vittel." "She still has a US passport." "She's American." "I'm worried." "I understand, sir." "My mind's not on this." "So if you'd fill in for me..." "Count on me, sir." "Go to it, fella." "We're behind you." "Okay." "The camera goes here, with a 35." "At first, we don't see Mr. Larquey, only his shadow." "His name is Angel." "I want a strange, eerie effect." "You'll have it, sir." "Rehearsal." "Silence." "Don't wrinkle my tie!" "It's a bad idea." " It's like a wax museum." " No, you'll see." "There's no mystery." "We have to imagine the hand." "If it doesn't work, we cut it." "This will go great guns, fellas!" "We'll see!" "Thanks for my script." "What about it?" "For backing it against Clouzot's." "Thanks!" "Yours was shorter." "I'm not a philanthropist." "So we'll make a little deal." "Today, one cent." "Tomorrow, two cents..." "It gives you time to make a decision." "8 cents, 16 cents, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024..." "Doubling it to infinity." "You know what infinity's like?" "I know." "I've been there." "It's quite nice."

"His name's Angel so he thinks he's everyone's guardian." "It's very good." "I couldn't have done better." "Thank you." " You believe in that?" " Why shouldn't I?" "But it's impossible."

"Know what you risk talking to me like that?" "I could send you to Germany tomorrow." "Sure..." "If I were a laborer or maitre d', I'd answer differently." "But we're 2 bourgeois." "I'm poorer, but still a bourgeois." "We're two of a kind." "I have a Jew at Continental." "And communist, too." "I know it." "He doesn't know I know." "Just one film, Aurenche." "A comedy." "You know how to write gags." "I'll have Fernandel in 3 months." "He'll direct." "It's called Adrien." "AJean de Letraz hit." "But those kind of plays..." "Just what I loathe." "As for Fernandel..." "He's a gag factory, a walking gag." "Where would I fit in?" "I'd ruin it all." "René!" "René Wheeler!" "Selling shoelaces?" "Not by choice." "I have to eat." "I don't sell any, so I don't eat." "I just turned down a film." "A piece of crap." "I can accept it for you." "You write and collect." "There are bad points." "Director and star:" "Fernandel." "For Continental, the Fritz." "Eat with the devil, at least you eat." "Is that cop here to monitor the gags?" "I've had this idea I wanted to do with you." "A story about river poachers." "A totally free narrative." " Shot entirely on location." " Which region?" "The Rhone." "Simple people." "Anarchists, extravagant as we like them." "Well, Aurenche!" "I'm not fickle, but when I left..." "You know what Napoleon said?" "René Wheeler, a first-class writer." "Take him and we'll be a team." "What did our friend Napoleon say?" "It'll come back to me." "René's free as of now..." "He knows it's Fernandel in front and behind the camera." "Fernandel's ideas, gags, the works." "He talks so I'll say yes without thinking." "But still, I'm thinking." "And I say yes anyway."

"Come along." "So it's Fernandel." "Your timing of the Tourneur film was perfect!" "Only a 17-second difference with the final cut." "Do the same on Ladies'Delight." "You'll work with Cayatte." "The Military Cross?" "And the stars are citations?" "You were an officer?" "Cavalry lieutenant, transferred to a reconnaissance group." "But what happened to you French?" "This whole debacle!" "In '14 you held firm." "I fought you, you had courage!" "But now, why this beating?" "Why so fast?" "Fine." "I have one, too." "I was a fighter pilot." "See Bauermeister." "You have 30 days." "Nights, rather." "Power shortage." "Take 2 extra nights." "Cayatte lacks experience." "You have it." "Show him where the camera goes." "It's freezing!" "The young lady there..." "That's a projector, not a foot-warmer." "Put a scrim on that projector." "The two girls on the left..." "The lady in the brown coat, move to the left." "The other lady, too." "My left."

"Simone got a summons." "I asked the police." "No news." "Who summoned her?" "Where?" "I don't know." "But she's at Fresnes." "I'll ask around." "Continental's no protection." "This proves it." "That's irrelevant." "She works at Sirius Distribution." "If we got her out..." "Our job is intelligence, infiltration, not playing commandos." "Sorry to wake you, Mom." "It was because ofJacques." "He was arrested outside the studio." "He was going to work." "They found tracts on him." "They didn't hurt you?" "No, not me." "He's at Cherche-Midi Prison." "Better than Fresnes." "I think..." "One little tract!" "It's no big deal." "Maybe he found it." "I saw the report." "It's not one tract." "Everyone says that, "I found it!"" "But two!" "You don't find two!" "Two tracts is a big deal!"

"Beef cheeks." "Sorry, I have to run." "See you." "Have you checked on My Love is Yours?" "Mr. Pottier wants you." "Sure, sure." "And your contract!" "Bring it in signed." "I've asked you 10 times!" "Sure, of course." "Ah, Devaivre!" "I know you're crying for lumber and film stock." "Materials and film are my department." "I decide who gets it." "I know, Mr. Beurkley." "If you need anything, come see me." "Come in." "My secretary told me about your brother-in-law." "He's not a Jew?" "A Communist?" "A Freemason?" "You have a good reputation here at Continental." "I'll look into it." "I swear.!" "It came back to me..." "You sure?" "The statue was at Harry Baur's." "He'd invited Christian and me over." "His collection was stunning:" "Paintings, books, and bronzes," " including that one." " Oh, my God!" " She's fooling herself!" " She can fool me, her husband, but not about something so minor." "Anyway, she's a lousy liar." "That Paul isn't just a dealer or an ex-vice squad cop." "He robbed Baur before murdering him!" "He doesn't scare me." "You can't speak to him, smile at him..." "He's Gestapo." "Come with me." "I'd love to, but I can't leave now." "Where would we go?" "How long would you stay with me?" "My dear, sweet Olga," "It's not you I left, but that murderer, Paul Maillebuau." "You know deep down I'm an incorrigible flirt, loyal to all my women, notjust one, to my friends and my beliefs, too." "That's the risky part nowadays." "I have the courage to write, but I can't stand physical pain." "Still, I want to face these shameful times with integrity, using my own weapons, not writing a single scene or line, even just to eat, that might seem to support all the horrible things I loathe" "and which Paul Maillebuau embodies." "Stay away from him, Olga." "I'll call next week to see how you are." "Love, Jean." "It's closed?" " Isn't it obvious?" " Be nice to a blind man." "I'm crying!" "Why do these things always happen to you?" "I'm spoiled by the gods!" "What's that?" "What're you waving at me?" "What?" "That ring!" "Nothing escapes me." "From the new guy?" "The wop?" "He's in good, is he?" " Show my friends respect." " No, show me respect!" "That ring's an insult!" "An obscenity!" "You should talk!" "The way you carry on in a brothel!" "I'll leave you alone." "No, stay!" "Yes, stay!" "You're part of the family." "You've slept together, haven't you?" "Don't try turning the tables on me!" "You're a tart!" "A kept woman!" "We've been through this before."

"Fake!" "What're you doing?" "I threw it out." "Get out!" "Get out of here right now!" "Your suitcases." "What a jerk!" "I can't see a thing!" "Goddamn it to hell!" "We'll find it." "I looked all over." "I must've thrown it too far, or someone picked it up." "I'll pay her back." "I'll buy her another." "You've no idea how much that ring cost." "I'll sell my Soutine." "I was offered a fortune for it." "It would kill me..." "I don't even know where I'm sleeping tonight." " It's heavy!" " You can say that again." " I'll carry it." " I won't say no." "I forgot my hat." "When my husband died I thought of moving, but I like this area." "I have my room, there are 2 others." "That's too much bother." "Is it worth making up 2 beds?"

"Excuse me." "No wine before Tuesday!" "OnlyJerusalem artichokes left." "Wait!" "You won't get off so easy." "You promised me something." "Hello, Gilberte." "Is Simone here?" "I thought I'd miss you." "Masson's inside." "I must run." "That's right." "You run, I run, everybody runs!" "Can't they afford a photographer?" "What misers!" "And that Beurkley!" "He hires poor empty-headed actresses so he can bed them." "A Gestapo bastard, for sure!" "I'm quitting Continental, I'm fed up!" "Fed up with not saying what I think, kowtowing... fed up!" " I couldn't help your brother." " We're all fed up." "You're acting like a child!" "Keep going, for my brother." " Keep going, but how?" " Keep going!" "I'm expecting some news." "Mr. Duborny has contacts at Cherche-Midi." "I have to run." "Go see Masson." "She's his girl since Cartacalha?" "Beurkley's?" "With his connections, he's got more." "But she's one." "He forgot his briefcase." "Two at a time, side by side." "Faster!" "I can't go any faster." "Is he coming back?" "Yes." "Hurry, let's finish." "Done." "You'll be the death of me." "Why'd you do that?" "If no one does anything..." "Hello, my dear fellow." "There should be royalties waiting on my adapted books." "Haven't we met?" " Sure, Mr. Pierre Nord." " Right, Devaivre." "You did my trailers in '38-'39." "You work here now?" "No, at Continental Films." "Is that so?" "Of course." "Do I see the cashier for my royalties?" "Masson just told me." "Do you know what you photographed?" "Not at all." "It's in German." "Give me the film." "I'll handle it." "What I want mostly..." "My brother-in-law's been arrested." "His name may be in there." "Jacques Dubuis." "There's not much chance..." "but you never know." "You have a phone number?" "MOLitor 0930." " Where can I reach you?" " I travel a lot." "In case of an extreme emergency," "Lyon station, 3rd class waiting room, Thursday and Saturday." "I'm a civil servant." "In Vichy." "I break my neck!" "This way, Mr. Pottier." "My coat." "Here." "Isn't Annie wonderful?" "You should be delighted." "Can't I ever have a screening without an air raid?" "Tomorrow at 10 a.m. Postpone the screening of The Raven." "I'll let Clouzot know." "Very well, sir." "To the shelter!" "Simone!" "Where are you?" "No arguments..." "You're leaving." "You're going to my godmother's." "We're ready." "I was waiting for you." "The next train's at 4:15" "Couldn't it wait... till tomorrow?" "Tomorrow I won't have the strength." "It's all right." "20-minute stop!" "I was an hour early, not to be late!" "I feel so filthy!" "How you've grown!" "Jean couldn't come?" "Too much work." "Him and his movies!" "They're not God!" "ForJean, they are." "He'll turn up the first chance he gets." "But it's 250 miles!" "Hurry, Estelle.!" "Visiting the poor always take time." "Not the time spent with them, but the time climbing stairs.!" "The poor always live high up." "Not that one, it's too nice." "You see, young lady, you must learn to choose what you give the destitute." "If you give them fine things, you also give them regrets for the luxury they'll never have." "But if you like that blouse..." "My God, they're laughing!" "We blew it!" "They're not laughing at it, they're laughing with us." "With Moreno." "They love her." "So do I." "She embodies the cruel good conscience of the bourgeois aristocracy which is alive and well." "She shows her true self." "It's funny." "When you read it, you laughed, too." " True." "I did." " You see!" "A drama without any humor is stiff as a board." "Therese, you're foolish.!" "You hardly have enough to eat." "We get by with the animals." "That's it.!" "The cat eats the bird, who eats the cat?" "You do.!" "When you're starving.!" "I wish you patience and resignation." "What should we wish you, dear lady?" "Wish her impatience and revolt.!" "Magnificent!" "A very fluid manner of..." "Not only good taste and skill, but a blend of virulence and grace, a very personal grace, a young lady's grace, a caustic grace..." "You're a young lady, old man!" "The end doesn't work." "I needed more time and money." "You know the producers." "Not yours, Continental's loaded." "Adrien is an accident." "Sure, bread and butter work." "As for money..." "Like it?" ""Impatience and revolt..." Wait till Vichy sees it." " Did you like it?" " Yes, I did." "I love when she says I want to be happy, not humble." "You'll have censorship problems, Bost." "And the Church may rate it a 5, To be prohibited." "Maybe worse." "There's worse than a prohibition?" "A 6." "Like for my film A Life of Pleasure." ""Socially, morally and religiously pernicious."" "Do they burn the unlucky films?" "Yes, and they shoot the imprudent audiences." "You!" "Aren't you Pottier's assistant?" "Yes, sir." "Le Chanois asked me to come tonight." "That's his business." "Tell Pottier" "I haven't finished the Maigret script." "Don't forget." "I can't run after him." "Pierre!" "She says it's a proud film." "Superb, isn't it?" "Why's that, miss?" "Because everyone faces up." "The young to their elders, the servants to their masters." "And when Douce dies, it's sad, but she wasn't happy with those people, so better to die." "Jean!" "I knew it!" "He needs his sleep." "Will we be able to talk normally after this?" "Don't you want to see Paris?" "I mended the collar and pocket." "Put them in my suitcase." "Thanks for keeping them..." "under the spuds." "Be careful." "What if I stayed?" "What would Tourneur do without you?" "Need a hand?" " Going far?" " Paris." "I can take you to the station." "No, I'm going by bike." "Good God!" "You a bicycle racer?" "Don't bother." "I used to race, but mainly on tracks." "The Vel d'Hiv bicycle races." "I'm in shape." "But from here to Paris is over 220 miles." "240 one way, 240 the other." "Still, the train's easier." "They're constantly inspected." ""Papers!" "Open your bags!"" "Roads, too." "Afraid of something?" "I'll give you a lift." "You say you're from Curbigny..." "You know Marc Bérot?" "He's a neighbor." "I mainly know Mrs. Barou." "Josephine?" "She's a good friend!" "I'm her godson." "Good Lord, are you the star?" "The one in movies?" "Devaivre?" "René Fléchard, plumber-roofer." " We stopping?"

" It'll knock me out." "We'll settle scores someday." "You make note of the collaborators, too?" "Yes and no." "I work at a German firm." "Oh, shit!" "It just happened that way." "We're not pals." "But it's true, it's a problem." "I'm in a bind..." "Between work and my family..." "I want out, but there could be reprisals." "Anyway, where could I go?" "There is a place." "If you decide, I'll tell you where." "Nicht black market!" "For my kids!" " Who is it?" " It's Louis, your brother." "Anyone see you?" "The concierge?" "You hardly wrote." "We were worried." "Especially the folks." "A card every 6 months!" "It's over now." " I hate to write." " So, in fact, you escaped." "In fact, yes." "They kept saying, Workers, not prisoners!" "But if you went out, you knew what to expect." "I itch!" "Stowaways are fine for adventure stories..." " But Berlin-Paris..." " Here?" "Lying half frozen on a boxcar roof, half scorched against a hot water pipe..." "Good luck!" "You can find me work here, like for your in-law?" "He's in big trouble." "They arrested him in March, and no sign of him since." "That doesn't mean a thing." "Take me:" "I vanish, I reappear!" "He'll turn up again." "Jacques Dubuis, my brother, never came back." "And I never saw him again." "Except once, 57 years after his arrest, in 8 Men in a Chateau." "He was an extra." "That's him.!" "The Germans sent him to die in a Silesian salt mine." "He grew so thin his campmates called him "Stringbean."" "He was 20 years old." "The other day, at the Académie Française, that taffeta thing, the "slipper"-play..." "What an endless bore!" "My wife understood it, but she's a bridge whiz." "Bingo!" "Excuse me!" "The metro was packed!" "Suzanne was perfect." "Losing weight helped." "But he got fatter." "How'd he do it?" "Splendid, Suzanne!" "A superb funeral for riffraff!" "The cream of Paris Corsicans!" "Carbone and Spirito, the underworld kings..." "Tino Rossi sang?" "As good as a state funeral, and cartloads of flowers!" "My dear... my dear, you were fabulous!" "Leg of lamb!" "You remind me of..." "the name escapes me..." "An American actor..." "What's his name?" "So kind of you!" "The audience hung on every word." "Yes, it's so..." "And the play's fairly short." "Plays are all too long." "Even short, Claudel is long." "Haven't we met?" "Richebé." "Can we talk?" "But Suzanne..." "You came!" "I've missed you so much!" "Congratulations!" " Rewriting Michel Duran's script?" " Only your lines." "You're an angel." "Danielle Darrieux sent me a sweet note." "I waited for you every day." "I swear, I'm doing you a favor." "They've arrested Jeanson twice, Spaak's in for it now." "Why not me next?" "Who knows you live with me?" "They censored the best scene in Douce." "The Countess's visit to the poor, cut!" "They did the same to Spaak." "The method:" "Censorship, then prison." "Why not just say "I'm leaving"?" ""Because I saw Suzanne again."" "She told me." ""Because I miss her." ""Our affair was just a bandage." "I healed, so I'm leaving."" "Are you angry?" "If only I could be." " What?" " My painting stays put." "Your painting?" "What's in my house is mine." "It's the law." "Look it up." "Goddamn them!" "Suitcases!" "Women and suitcases!" "Darling!"

"You did." "A little." "He had a gun." "I grabbed it and bang!" "What'll we do?" "What'll you do?" "The police. "I did it!"" "Sleep first and tomorrow, the police." "Wait." "Think it over." "See a lawyer." "You know what a lawyer costs?" " Less then what you earn." " And spend!" "No lawyer." "I'm broke." "It's prison for me." "You can have it back." "Get the best lawyer." "Take it!"

"I'll build some steps for perspective." "As you like." "But I want shadows, corners, possibilities." " Corners..." " Right up my alley." "It's those cold baths!" " But I mend fast." " I hope so." "I need you." "Did you read the script on The Poison Affair?" "Yes, I did, sir." "Repulsive." "Especially now." "Trash disguised as history." "It wouldn't be wise to do that now." "It shows France in a shameful light." "You can't stay here." "Go home to bed." "I'll send the company doctor." "I owe you that much." "Can you stand suction cups?" "Inhalations, and above all, rest." "Stay warm and rest." "Make the most of the weekend." "Stay in bed, drink hot liquids, sweat, and you'll feel better." "Thanks, Doctor." "I'll inform Continental." "I'll come by Monday." "I'll be at work Monday." "For Richard, Stalag 17, from his mama, Josette..." "This is Pottier." "Spaak is done." "He drops offthe Majestic Case script at Continental at noon." "I understand, but..." "You go get script at Continental right away and you read it." "A crate of oranges, not a wagonload." "What'll I do with all that fruit?" "I'm putting it back." "Can you read this?" "Sure, I can read it." "But I can't understand it." "Think we spoke Kraut together?" "If only I could find Jacques's name." "What's all this stuff?" "I'll tell you later." "No." "The less you know, the better." " Going out?" " Just for a few hours." "It's worth it." "Not in your condition..." "I'm supposed to be asleep." "Don't answer the door." "What about the phone?" "Let it ring." "If it keeps up, pretend you're me." "Talk through a hankie and cough." "That's all, just cough." "I get it, I cough." "Stay here." "There you are!"

"You'll ride back." "Quick!" "We leave in 10 minutes." "Go easy, it's not a tractor." "Get a ticket." "Amazing." "You're amazing." "What's it all about?" "It smells..." "like medicine." "That's my chest." "Tincture of iodine." " Watch yourself." " I'm okay." "I'm interested in Jacques Dubuis, my brother-in-law." "He may be on a list." "These aren't police documents."

"Neither did I." "I came in 3rd." "Behind Péquinet, and behind..." "Behind who else?" "Me, maybe?" "Wait, your pump!" "I put it aside." "Go easy on my bike!" "You sure took your time." "Stop coughing, it's me." "No, stay put!" "Stay there and wait for me." "Whatever you do, wait." "I don't know..." "A few hours. 5 or 6." "This is a real opportunity." "I'll radio the Brits while you fly." "Fly?" "I'm not flying!" "Keep the papers." "I'm going home." "Listen!" "The British want to know how you got these papers." "In person, you can convince them." "Not by radio." "It's too complicated." "I'm sick!" "I should be in bed." "My brother's waiting." "I work on Monday." "You kidding me?" "What you've done is fantastic." "But you have to go all the way." "If I see De Gaulle, what do I say?" "What the hell am I doing here?" "You steal these from a chemist's?" "It's me." "Tincture of iodine." " You speak English?" " Sort of." "No, not really, not well." "Badly." "Act as if not at all." "I have to get back fast." "If you could read them quickly..." "I have to be at work Monday." "Want eat?" "Some tea?" "If you want..." "Aren't you reading the file?" "Very secret." "How did you get this... in your hands?" "Tell me." "It's like this..." "I work in the movies." "For Continental." "German company, but French films." "Two floors cinema, and the office of an SD..." "Whatever that means..." "Good." "Nothing to do with movies." "It's Von Schertel's office." "At the end of the hall." "I was home sick yesterday." "A doozer." "Grippe." "I had trouble with the lock..." "Go on." "You take a key..." "A key on a red wire." "If you wouldn't mind starting over for me..." "Start over, from where?" "The beginning." "What do you mean?" "If you don't mind." "Von Schertel..." "In the pictures, he does what?" "Nothing." "It's geographic." "He's just there." "At the end of the hall." "You're at home." "You get a call." "From whom?" "The director." "Richard Pottier." "My director." "Not another one!" "What time is it?" "I have to get home and no one's even bothered to read what..." "Now start over." "No more interruptions." "It's like this..." "I work in the movies..." "The wrong key?" "You expect me to believe that?" "I couldn't believe it either." "But it worked." "Why did you steal it?" "Why this?" "In a cinema office?" "You don't understand." "You're not listening." "Yesterday was Saturday." "You work Saturdays?" "Pottier phoned me." "Pottier, Richard." "Me, assistant." "He doesn't care if I'm sick." "He sends me to the Champs-Elysées." "I told this to him, him... you!" "That thing in your hand." "What is that?" "My pump." "You need a bicycle pump on the airplane?" "No, it just happened like that!" "I was going to pick up a script." "It was the wrong key." "I don't think, I just do it." "Then things snowballed." "The train, Melun, Moulins, the plane, and now you!" "I've done my job!" "Enough!" "I'm going home." "What time is it?" "What are you working on?" "I'm starting Cécile is Dead..." "A Simenon." "Maigret." "Harry Baur..." " He's a fine Maigret." " It's Albert Préjean this time." "You should use Baur again." "He's dead." "Sit down." "Get off my back with that tea." "Do you understand English?" "A little." "If you talk slowly." "Faster." "I'll understand better." "Is that English?" "Me not Saint Cloud." "Me, Boulogne." "Work now, Monday." "Leave." "Good night, all!" "You come with me." "I have a mission over France." "I'll drop you on the way." "Great!" "Why am I being measured?" "If we boom, you can blow to pieces." "With measurements, a piece is enough for a name." "Sign this waiver." "The British crown is not responsible." "Have some tea." "They're nuts with their tea!" "My wife loves tea." "We can't get any in France." "I don't care for the stuff, but..." "We climbing?" "Yes, region very Pétain." "Bad for us." "We climb over flak." "Not afraid?" "We're hit." "We may turn back." "Turn back?" "Impossible turn back!" "That's enough!" "I'm going home!" "My family, my brother's waiting." "He'll be shot, understand?" "Blockhead!" "Moron!" "Shot!" "Calm down." "I have to jump, I'm jumping!" "Jump!" "Your two feet together." "One foot lower and you break it." "The knees like springs." "And forward!" "Curl up and roll, I know." "I was a jockey." " What's that?" " Tea for your wife." "Find him, damn it!" "I've had my fill of amateurs!" "Over there, I think!" "Here he is!" "I'll remember this!" "You're here, no?" "It's a miracle." "What time is it?" "Is this yours?" "I should do a written report." "If I had to explain this in writing, it would take hours." "Don't bother." "I'm here." "Just get me to Moulins." "I'm going home." "Basta." "And no one's the wiser." "Where's my pump?" "What pump?" "The Bluemels, black celluloid." "Long, lightweight..." "And what's that?" "It happens." "The next train for Paris?" "4:42 p.m. Via Nevers, Gien, Montargis." "1 st, 2nd and 3rd class." "Anything else?" "But tomorrow the same 4:42..." "It's me, Jean." "My bike..." "The phone rang off the hook." "First, our folks." "They wanted news about me." "I said you were ill." "Then Mr. Tourneur." "I imitated your voice." "It was easy, I caught your germs." "What did Tourneur want?" "To see how you were." "He was worried about you." "Who else called?" "Richard Pottier." "I barely understood him." "He's down with it, too." "No, it's his accent." "Hungarian or Austrian." "It comes off." "Reassure Mom." "I'm fine." "Take my bike." "Careful, the front wheel's bent." "A pedal's loose." "It makes a noise." "It's done a lot of riding, I guess." "If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." " Jean Devaivre?" " Yes, but..." "Continental Films." "Inspection." "Why aren't you at work?" "I'm sick." "Sick with what?" "The doctor came." "The Continental doktor." "Ask him." "Mr. Spaak's script." "You have it?" "There, on the stack." "You read all that?" "I read what I'm given." "No other papers from Spaak?" "I'm out of coal." "I have a fever." "I'm shivering." "If you have coal for me, thanks." "The bed's cold." "So?" "You were supposedly in bed." "On the bed, not in it." " Where were you yesterday?" " Here, resting." "The prescription's here." "You live alone?" "Why?" "My wife and child are in the country." "Why?" "The air's better there." "Do you have I D papers?" "May I ask what this is about?" "Suction cups." "Turn around." "Who applied them?" "My mother." "She comes every day." "The concierge must have told you." "Very hard calves." "That's what the doctor said What hard calves!" "He doesn't know why either." "What about my papers?" "You won't need them before tomorrow." "I'll be back then." "What're you doing?" "As you see:" "I'm examining you." "How do you feel?" "Better." "Fine." "Hello, doctor..." "Weren't you coming back tomorrow?" "It is tomorrow." "If you've slept since my visit, it's been over 24 hours." "I have to work!" "I doubt that..." "I'm strong enough." "I feel better." "I admit 3 days of rest has helped your recovery, but still..." "What did Mr. Bauermeister say?" "He's expecting you." "Your papers." "The keys are in the door." "They made such a fuss!" "But there were only two people here Saturday." "Spaak brings the script." "You come for it." "So it's simple." "When it's not you, it's him." "Maybe someone else?" "The guardian's always here." "It's not possible." "Maybe they lost them." "Are you so interested a lot?" "No, but if it's not him..." "If it's not him, the system returns to you." "So, quiet." "These days, it's better to shut up." "It's always better." "But right now it's an obligation." "This is where they find the body." "I'm doing insert shots on Stage B." "If it isn't Softi!" "Still tiptoeing around like a sneak." "Leave him alone." "You're getting sloppy!" "Leaving nasty papers around." ""Those who work for the Krauts will be treated like Krauts."" "Where'd you get that?" "The illegal union." "As if one was legal!" "You seen this?" "Crap!" "All tracts are crap!" "On all sides, De Gaulle's as well as the Communists'." "It's his mother." "She hounded him for a red flag." "So he went to get her one." "Instead of waiting here, quietly, for them to come." "Right?" "They are coming, Jean-Paul?" "Patience, we're on our way!" "Get off my back!" "I imagined a bigger fish tank." "It's to measure." "There's a collection for our buddies killed by the Brits at Photosonor." " I'll chip in some cash." " Afraid to cash in your chips?" "So long." "You don't look well." "I'm okay." "Well, not really." "I was at a meeting with the comrades." "I'm sick over it." "Film people and others." "Real workers, as they say." "It's clear." "No more contact with the Krauts." "That's new." "Continental's German." "You can't work there anymore." "I had the Party's approval." "If not congratulations." "But there's a new party line action-resistance." "Hey, I was resisting back in '40." "Along with Max Douy, Nicolas, Painlevé and Lemare." "I didn't go begging, like some here, to dub German films." "Or negotiating with Greven to make Franco-German newsreels." "I didn't wait for the invasion of Russia." "I organized, infiltrated studios, started a union." "When the Fritz go, we won't have helped the German cinema," " but saved French cinema." " Discredited it!" "Like Clouzot's vile The Raven!" "He never sold out." "He's protecting a Dreyfus, me!" "A Levy, Jean Ferry, and others." "His film's an abscess on France's honor!" "It attacks informers." "It's about poison-pen letters, based on a prewar case." "Get your facts straight." "So what!" "That's your business!" "It reminds me of those stupid magazines about stars their earnings, German boyfriends, Berlin tours..." "Movies are just another industry." "The new Party line is armed struggle." "Either you obey..." ""...or you get out."" "Excluded by my comrades!" ""Comrade." A finer word than "brother."" "You don't choose a brother." "You choose your comrades." "There were eight of us in October '40." "Where was Daquin in '40?" "Yeah, I'm sick over it." "What about us?" "Us?" "We do okay." "Forget about them." "Dogs bark, fools act foolish." "I rewrote the opening of Cécile." "The downstairs neighbor..." "He has to be meaner." "Hello, Spaak." "I'm sorry." "Not as sorry as I am." "The last time we spoke was at Fouquet's." "Got a cigarette?" "You know I don't smoke." "What's your situation?" "I'm questioned every few days." ""Where's your brother?"" "I didn't know when they arrested me." "How should I know now?" "This wasn't my doing." "I deal with movies." "Not politics or police." "You and I have a problem." "Your contract." "You haven't delivered the final script on Majestic." "You haven't delivered!" "We can't shoot without what's essential." "And me, Dr. Greven," "I can't deliver it without what's essential:" "My freedom." "Your freedom?" "Impossible!" "It's beyond my power." "But you can still work in these conditions." "Jeanson did a lot of writing here." "Articles, script dialogue." "I know he did." "Get Duran, or Le Chanois." "Talk to Clouzot." "Clouzot won't hear of it." "You're under sole author contract." "Then sue me." "Spaak, I admire your work." "Grand Illusion," "Who Killed Santa Claus?" "A Life of Pleasure..." "I love all those films." "It's you I want." "Freedom, as I said, I can't give you." "But better treatment, I can." "You mean..." "Food?" "Bread?" "Sardines?" "For my wife, too?" "Food packages?" "Tobacco?" "I can't write without tobacco." "And erasers, paper, pencils, a dictionary." "Warm slippers." "Aspirin." "I may as well forget liquor." " The cop's here." " I'll tell Devaivre." "Maybe some beer." "He's here." "With more lumber, it would be more impressive." "Why?" "You do fine with plaster." "Then give me plaster." "So, today's installment?" "Any good?" "All right, but just 3 pages." "Three short pages." "It's not enough!" "You can't demand too much of a man who's starving." "If we had him here on the set, we'd work faster." "We'd avoid the prison shuttle." "If he were here, you say?" "I'll see to that." "Get your papers together." "And my things, too?" "No, you come back tonight." "Ladies and gents, back to work." "Action!" "Fast." "Faster." "It's no good." "The plates are empty." "It's obvious." "Cover the plates and platters." "Or else keep the extras in front of the dishes." "Yes." "It's not good!" "The plates are empty." "Ridiculous!" "You extras, stand in front of the dishes!" "But what goes on the plates?" "The usual:" "Rutabaga, Jerusalem artichokes, lettuce." "The extras ate it all while my back was turned!" "Jean, please!" "And me?" "Why does Spaak keep writing scenes with food in them?" "Two months in jail." "Straighten these nails!" " What a nice loaf!" " Easy!" "It's fake!" "Except the piece for Mr. Préjean!" " Shit!" " That's life!" "Can you do a cast of this?" "For when?" " When it's ready." " You got it, kid!" "For me?" "The crew wrote something." ""The crew had to hand it to you"" "In Von Schertel's office..." "The papers." "What papers?" "I had three bottles of my own stock!" "No more!" "I drank two glasses of three bottles only." "Shit!" "Bunch of sticky fingers!" "Near the North Station." "Maybe farther." "How much farther?" "The suburbs?" "The suburbs, yes." "This pie is delicious." " Why not finish it?" " Gladly." "That's war." "Bombs and death... but while it's far off, finish the bottle." "You took part, you endured it..." "I prefer "endured."" "Not me." "I had my eyes closed." "Half-open." "Enough to see people and women go by, watch them a while..." "I did nothing serious." "You made films!" ""Patience and submission."" "No. "Impatience and revolt."" "It's good to say when everyone bows down." "That's why it was cut." " You wrote that!" " No, we wrote it." "I claim impatience but the revolt is yours." "Or the other way around." "Still, I think of the story about the roofer who falls." "Everyone hears his scream." "But those on the wrong side cross rather than dirty their shoes." "You're funny!" "People have to survive somehow." "If survival is all, how do we differ from animals?" "I thought that in the stalag." "Why are we here?" "What's the point?" "I'd have given up." "Then one day," "I saw a prisoner like myself." "He was always busy with something on his lap." "He was writing." "Writing on Stendhal, with a piece of lead stuck in a splinter of wood." "Writing on a writer." "That was his life buoy." "He restored my taste for life." "Some make sheets, some make bread, others make up stories." "We are story-makers." "Nothing more, nothing less." "What good do we do?" "We enlighten the lives of sheet-makers" " and bread-makers." " Is that enough?" "I think so." "And I never forget that thanks to that," "I made a friend." "Watch the glass doors." "They're made of paper!" "Hello, son." "I knew I'd find you here." "We're striking the sets." "We finished at 6 a.m." "I saw Greven." "He said to read these." "Tell me what you think." " Sure, sir." " I'll be on Stage B, to see Andrejew." "I'll see you after." "By the way," "Le Chanois was arrested." "When?" "At sunup." "This morning." "For what reason?" "An open secret:" "His name's Dreyfus." "And he's a communist." "See you in 15 minutes." "I forgot:" "My brother's sick." "I have to go to the drugstore." "Go ahead." "Good-bye, sir." "Jean Devaivre never returned to Continental." "He pedaled 17 hours to the maquis where René Fléchard, plumber-roofer, was waiting along with other fighters who would become his friends." "Le Chanois, on Dr. Greven's demand, was released within 3 days, without talking." "He carried on, but was sanctioned by the Party for having worked at Continental." "Tourneur was suspended for almost 2 years after the war and directed two films from scripts he hated." "Jean Aurenche, the ever-faithful friend, remained close to Pierre Bost until Bost's death." "He often talked to me about Reine, Suzanne and Olga." "Olga lost everything in '44, her hair included, but got it all back 3 years later." "Jean helped her open her shop in '47, the year Devaivre directed his first film," "La Dame d'onze heures, which Le Chanois wrote, followed by The Farm of Seven Sins." "53 years later, in April 2000," "Devaivre told me that ifhe had to relive that period, he'd probably be stupid enough to do exactly the same thing." ""The screenplay by Cosmos and Tavernier was inspired by the memoirs ofJean Devaivre.""

" Father?" " Daughter?" "Why is there a naked lady in your bedroom?" "What are you talking about, revenge?" "Don't make it like it wasn't the least bit satisfying to fuck the wife of the man who turned your" ""precious little book" into a big, shitty movie." "Sick of you talking shit about me in the press." "I thought you came because you found out I fucked your wife." "Asshole." "Charlie Runkel's office." "Your assistant makes me want to touch myself in a bad place." "But from now on, if I make a mistake or I screw something up, you should feel free to discipline me in whatever way you see fit." " Hi." "Remember me?" " How could I forget?" " Best blind date of my life, asshole." " Let me make it up to you." "Can I take you out sometime?" "The guy you saw me with last night is married." "Fucking a married a guy for 5 years?" "Call him whatever you want." "He can stay with me." "Once upon a time, I used to love you." "And no matter what, you will always be a part of my life." "But I'm not in love with you anymore." "Yusef, what's a five-letter word for "excitable boy"?" "Zevon." "Booyah." "That's a smart dog." "So..." " last night." " What about it?" "I don't want to be hyperbolic or anything, but I think we took things to a whole other level." "And why do you feel the need to relive it the next morning?" "That's half the fun." "You know, it's like... getting to do it all over again." "Except without the after-sex sadness that comes down upon one." "Hank, I think we need to talk." "Talk, really?" "Has anything good ever come of such a thing ever?" "We've been spending a lot of time in the bedroom, which is nice, very nice." "But I'm also just coming out of this horribly dysfunctional relationship that only existed in the bedroom..." "You want me to do you in the shower." "I get it." "You want to go out on the town with some Hank on your arm." "You want to stroll around with some of this." "That's totally understandable." "We can do it." "We can go out." "Anything." "Anything you want to do." "We'll do it." "Just name it." "Let's go." "Right now." " Okay, there's this fund-raiser." " No, can't do that." "That sounds excruciating." "I won't do that." "It's your agency." "You must be invited." "And I'm sure it went right in the circular file." "Come on, it'll be fun." "It's for a good cause." "Well, I'm not much one for causes, good or otherwise." "I'm not a joiner." " Apathy kills, Hank." " I don't care." "Does that feel like apathy to you?" "You look... half, you know, halfway decent." "Thanks." "How's Becca?" " Well, she's a little bummed." " Well, that's understandable," " but this thing came up." " I know, but she's just..." " Dad." " Beautiful daughter." " Gee, I don't know where that..." " A bribe?" "No, I like to think of it more as a token of my paternal affection." "Are you serious?" "This is awesome!" "Just when I thought we'd agreed not to get her a cell phone." "I thought we decided that, too, but then I realized she can call me whenever she's pissed at you and lurch, so changed my mind." "Do you have a date?" " I do." " Do you like her?" " She is pretty cool." " As cool as mom?" "Sadly, I have come to find that that is not possible." "Well, if it's a date and not just a random hookup," " I guess I approve." " Yes!" "But I wanna hear all about her tomorrow." "Absolutely." "Call me." "I can't believe you." "So..." "Stop it." "The date." " Are you in love?" " Shut up." "Where are you taking her?" "Red Lobster?" "Denny's?" "I wish." "I got this fucking fund-raiser at the agency" "I got roped into going to." "Fascist architecture." "Can I ask you a question?" " Go for it." " What are we doing here?" " Mixing and mingling." " That's what I thought." "That explains why my sphincter tightened up a couple notches." "Relax." "There's your agent." " What the fuck?" " What's the problem?" "You know how much I hate that motherfucker." "Yes, I know how much you hate that A-list, in-demand motherfucker." "But I've been trying to sign him for years." "Don't make me fire your ass all over again." "Hank, if I depended on you and you alone for my commissions," "Marcy and I would be sharing a TV dinner under a bare light bulb right now." "OK but don't do it in front of me." "It's like watching you cheat on me with another man." "You give much better head." "Always have, always will." "I am impressed." "I can't believe you managed to drag this nonpartisan asshole" " out of the house for this shindig." " I had to use all of my feminine wiles." "And a butt plug." "Speaking of which... where's Marcy?" "Emergency waxing session." "As we speak, she's likely staring into the business end of Angelina's vagina." "Let's take a time-out while I meditate on that for a few moments." "You do that." "I see a friend." "You come find me." "I'm sorry. did you say something?" "I told you, man." "You just needed to meet a nice girl." " She's not so nice." " Naughty?" "Do I ask you about Marcy's" " sexual proclivities?" " Yes, all the time." "It's odd, actually." "So, what are we talking about here?" "A little "SM"?" "A little light "BD"?" "Slow down, tiger." "Morticia." "Call me Hank, please." " So, do you still need me?" " Did you finish reading the manuscript?" " Did you write your coverage on it yet?" " No, not yet." "Then, I think you just answered your own question." " Back to work." " Yes, sir." "Anything you want to tell me about there, captain?" "Please." "I'm a married man." "Anything you want to tell me about there, captain?" "Can we agree not to throw down while we have our cocks out?" "Really?" "Yours is out?" " Fag." " I'm done fighting you, Moody." "This from a man who had a six-pack of whoop-ass opened up on him last week." "I couldn't hurt you if I wanted to." "You're your own worst enemy." "That is a very astute observation coming from a dumb guy." "Did me a big favor, actually." "Got me out of a horrible fucking marriage." "You and Sandy splitting the sheets?" "Do tell." "That bitch is crazy." "Last time I ever marry a fucking white woman." "I'm with you there." " Well, how'd she take it?" " Haven't told her." " Thinking about doing it tonight." " Here?" "she's here?" "That's right." "There she is." "The former Mrs. Moody." "I was never officially a Moody." "You were moody." "You just weren't a Moody." "You could've made me less moody if you'd made me into a Moody." " I'll make you a Moody right now." " It's too late." " It's 4 hours to Vegas." " No, it's too late." "We'll stop in Barstow, in-n-out burgers, shakes, fries, celebratory coupling, which I believe is part of our sordid sexual history." "You know, it's very tempting, but I'm gonna have to say no." "But thank you." "Over." "Could you be on your best behavior tonight?" "Please, please." "Like a child you talk to me." "What do you think I'll do?" " You are a child." " Stir the punch with my dong?" "Quite possibly, yes." "And that's the thing with you, Hank." "One never knows what to expect from you or your dong." "And how is this not a virtue?" "You know, honey, you do look beautiful tonight." "Well, that's..." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Stop it!" "No." "You just said you would behave." "Bill is around the corner." " Okay, come on." "We can be adults." " It just gets so lonely sometimes." "I need a hug in a moment, the moment passes, and I'm good." "Smell you later." " You finished yet?" " Putting it together right now." "Bring it to me in my office." "U.T.K. Charlie Runkel's office." "It's your wife." "Hey, baby." "Yeah, it's going well." "How about you?" "How is Angelina's cookie?" "Really?" "Well, that's one of the benefits of adoption." "You know what?" "You're... you're breaking up." "Yeah, you're..." "You're..." "I'm losing you, babe." "Okay, got to go." "Tell me what to do." "What if you don't wanna do what I tell you to do?" "I think you're missing the point." "Thank you." "There you are." "Hank Moody, please say hello to my colleague Jonathan Mandel and his lovely wife, Nikki." " Hank Moody?" "The writer?" " I used to be." "Now I'm Hank Moody the blogger, soon to be Hank Moody the bartender." "Meredith turned me on to your blog." " Highly entertaining, Hank." " Well, that's what I do." "I entertain." "I'd be interested to see what you write about this little shindig." "Well, just off the top of my head..." "I find interesting to hear these people ranting and raving about saving the environment when they'll probably blow like 10 000 pounds of fuel on their private jet planes getting down to Cabo this weekend." "That's right, babs." "You heard me." "Tell Oprah I said so." "Put that in your pipe and smoke it, ladies." " Meredith, can I get you another drink?" " Will you excuse us?" " Your writing is so good." " Well, Thank you." "I'm a bit of a scribbler myself, you know?" "Nikki Man..." "That Nikki Mandel." "You write all that Hollywood, trophy," " clit-lit stank, don't you?" " That's me." "Masturbation material for the North of Montana hausfrau." "You had me at masturbation." " I was hoping so." " You got me all wet." "The trick is coming up with good story ideas." "I would imagine." "I'm always on the lookout for new material..." " if you know what I mean." " It's hard not to know what you mean, especially when you're being so subtle about it." "Doesn't pay to be a wallflower." "You and your husband seem fine." " What's the deal?" " Looks can be deceiving." "Those two have been playing grab-ass for years now." ""I see," said the blind man." "Excuse me a moment." "Can I talk to you for a second?" " What are you doing?" " What are you doing?" "No, what are you doing?" "That's married guy." "Come on." " I didn't know he was gonna be here." " Come on." "Okay, I knew." "I'm sorry." "I don't care." "It's still a lie." "Look, you want to create a fuss with me?" "That's fine." "I'm listening." "I'm kid chaos." "I'll create some chaos for you." "How?" "How?" "I want to be a 40-year-old virgin." "Why?" "Because it seems like, once you get laid, your life basically turns to shit." "It's not so bad." "You've had the sex?" "Sure." "What's it like?" "Good." "Bad." "Weird." "Powerful." "I don't know." "Look, don't worry about this stuff." "You got plenty of time." " Watch the hair." " Sorry." "You Miss your dad, don't you?" "I Miss my mom." "For what it's worth, I know my mom really likes you." "I like her, too." "It's just... not the same, you know?" "Do you like Bill?" "Sure." "He's nice." "But he's not like Hank." "Seriously, you're really lucky." "Nice." " Watch it!" " Well, thank you." "Great!" " You could look where you're going." " And you could be a bit less of a cunt." " What did you say?" " What did I say?" "I cunt hear you." "Back it up, lady!" "What the hell happened here?" "The guy spills his drink on me, then he called me a cunt." "I didn't say a word!" "I bumped into her." "My bad." " You liar!" "Yes, you did!" " She just freaked out on me." "You should've come and get me." " I can take care of myself." "Thank you." " Clearly." "Sweetie, this is hardly the time or the place for a scene." "Can't we all just get along?" "I'm not looking to press charges or anything." " Get off of me." " He's trying to be decent." "No." "He's trying to be a dick." "You want me to have him thrown out?" "Just say the word and I will." "I don't." "I just want to go." "Now, look, there's a couple I want you to meet." "Turns out they bought that house you re-did." "There we go." "Turn." "Come on, lean forward." "Yeah, just like that." "Just like that." "Look at you, you dirty, little animal." " Like this?" " Yes." "I missed." "Yes, look at that." " Holy fucknuts!" " Shit!" " What, don't you fucking knock?" " Don't you lock?" "Why don't you go grab him some water or something?" "Take it easy there, Diane Arbus." "Don't have a coronary, 'cause I wouldn't know how to explain that to your wife." "It's all right." "Maybe it's time to punch out there, Bettie Page." "Here." "First things first..." "You're not gonna stroke out on me, are you?" "Good." "You just relax." "It's all good." "It was me." "You're lucky it was me coming in that door, huh?" "Look at me, look at me." "Let me see those eyes." "Yeah, you're good, you're good." " What the fuck?" " What the fuck were you thinking fucking around with your secretary?" ""How much of a big fat cliché can I be"?" "She started it, man." "Come on." "I guess I..." " ... got a little carried away." " You think?" "I don't even know what happened, man." "One minute, I am sailing along," "I'm being the guy who would never, ever cheat on his wife." "The next second, I'm spanking the bare, naked ass of a 22-year-old girl." "I'm not gonna be judgmental, because, a/ Who the fuck am I to talk?" "and b/ What you just described sounds incredibly hot." "But you got to get your shit together." "All right?" "You owe it to Marcy." "I know." "I'm such a fucking asshole, man." "If anybody deserves to be disciplined, it's me." "It's not an invitation." "If you're having problems in the boudoir, it's worth a conversation with the old lady." "I'm afraid that ship sailed some time ago." "I don't know, you know," "Marcy, to me, is nothing if not a dirty, little girl." "I think, with all due respect, if you talk to her, I think she'd be into some seriously freaky shit." "Big boy." "You're not crying, are you?" " A little bit." "Jesus Christ." " May I have another glass of wine?" " Hey!" "Time to hang up your drinking shoes, lady." "You love me, don't you, Hank?" "I've certainly grown very fond of you." " But I think that's..." " Let me guess." "It's a little early for this particular discussion." "Something like that, yeah." "We'll probably never make it to this particular discussion." "Why do you say that?" "Well, when you've spent the last five years loving a man and wondering why he doesn't love you back you tend to get a wee bit cynical about things." "You stay right here and you hydrate." "I'll be right back." "What'd you say?" "You need a double dose of Viagra to get wood and you wear a fanny pack on the weekends." " Think you're pretty clever, don't you?" " You wanna fuck around, fine." "Fuck around all you want, I'm no judge Judy." "But don't string a woman along for a major chunk of her childbearing years." "That's not cool." " Who are you?" "Don Quixote?" " No, I'm not even Don fucking Knotts." " I'm a big fan of the lady in question." " That's incredibly noble, considering how the lady in question talks about you." "I was curious, because despite what you say, I do care about her," "So, I asked, "Who is he?" "Is this someone I need to worry about?"" "You know what she said?" ""Him?" "He's nobody, a loser," ""someone to pass the time with when I'm not in bed with you."" "So, maybe you're the one who needs to be cut loose, pal." " You're very lucky, my friend." " And why is that?" "'Cause I promised someone I'd be on my best behavior." "Fucking fucker!" " My God!" " What are you doing?" "I'm glad we came." "That was fun." "You're funny." "There you go." "You're good, you're good." " Proud of me?" " Almost never, but, yeah, I approve." "No, no." "My behavior... me and my dong." " Well-behaved." " Right... good." " Did nothing." " Congratulations." "You are proud of me." "Did you have a good night?" "Yeah, I did." "For a radical environmentalist such as yourself, this whole evening must have given you a clit-boner." "You're disgusting." "See you next Tuesday!" "Fuck you!" "What is that?" "What are you doing?" "He's just a classy guy." "He called me a cunt." " This guy called you a cunt?" " I dealt with it." "I dealt with it." "It's okay, I just want to..." "Excuse me." "Good night." "Good night." " Hey." " Hey, mom." "I'm sorry." "Go back to sleep." " Mom?" " Yeah?" "Can I ask you something?" "Anything, my love." "Do you love Bill?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I do." "Do you love dad?" "Yes... because we have you in common." "I mean..." "I don't love him in that butterflies-in-the-tummy way anymore." "I mean... not in the way that we love Johnny Depp, definitely not." "Right." "Is dad a bad person?" "No, not at all." "He does have a habit of getting himself and everyone else around him into trouble sometimes, but..." "Bill is a good person, sweetie." "You know, he's kind, he's smart, and he really..." "He thinks things through." "I love you." " Good night." " Good night." "It's been a long time since someone held my hair back as I puked." "It's been an honor and a privilege." "Care to join me?" "Whew, still kind of barfy." "Get some sleep." "Thank you." "It's what I do." ""B" to the "E" to the "C" to the "C" to the "A."" " Hi, dad." " What up, G?" "I called because I had a feeling you couldn't sleep." "Right as usual, my beautiful, precocious daughter." "Remember what you used to do for me when I couldn't sleep?" "Dose you with opiates?" "." "You'd look at the ocean and count the mermaids." "I did do that." "I'm a better father than I thought." "Maybe you should try that, and it will help." "Yeah." "One..." "Two..." "Three... no, that's a sea lion." "Four..." "Five..." "Six... no, that's a bum." "Seven..." "Eight..." "Nine... no, that's Daryl Hannah." "Ten..." "Eleven..."

"He'd be working on a story, and he'd get so wrapped up in it... that he'd, like, get a Magic Marker... and write all the names and important facts all over the living room wall... and then he'd try to connect the dots." "Soyou had to live with it." "The landlord wasn't thrilled about it... but Danny always painted over it." "You know, he thought" "This was when we were still at the Monitor, when it was still political." "He thought that journalists should change things... you know, not just report."

"When you stop pumping the water out... over time those holes fill up top to bottom... till there's nowhere else for it to go." "A huge pressure builds up looking for an outlet." "In 1943... four miners broke a pick hole... in a wall to an adjacent area... that hadn't been worked in 20 years." "Water exploded out ofthat wall... drove those four fellas and their equipment... back through the shaft they'd dug, out into the main tunnel... that Newhouse had built to service the mine... blasted through an opening... and blew the water clear across the river to the other side." "For three days, water blasted out ofthat mountain- timber, tracks, loose rocks, half-ton ore cars... flying through the air like theywere toys." "You know, we think we can wound this planet." "We thinkwe can cut costs and stick the money in our pockets... and just walk awaywith it." "But someday the bill comes due." "This oreyou're looking at... assays out at about an ounce and a halfa ton... which can be worth yourwhile... depending on how much it costs you to get it out ofthe ground." "You gotta knock it down with dynamite... throw it on one ofthose carts up there... and then upstairs, run it through all the crushers... and chemicals separate out the valuable stufffrom the tailings." "Yeah." "Now, ifyou want to move up ahead to under that stope... and look offto the left... you'll see what every miner was hoping for- a vein of almost pure yellow stuff." "You can all fit in." "I'll join you in a minute." "Soyou were a miner?" "." "Mining engineer... until I went to work for the feds." "Got interested in how to do the job... better and safer." "That was under Carter."

"You know what the big picture is, don'tyou, Dickie?" "." "It's" "Privatization." "The land was meant for the citizens... not them damn pencil pushers in Washington." "Like this Silver City deal?" "." "Just a pile of mine debris I'm trying to unload." "Son, we got resources here you wouldn't believe." "Untapped resources." "You and your dad are the point men in the fight to liberate those resources... for the American people." "Aspen, Vail." "That ain't shit compared to what I could build... ifthey opened this up to somebodywith some ideas... with some know-how." "I understand." "And the people won't get it done... not by a long sight." "They get distracted worrying about some postcard idea ofthe Rockies... some black-footed ferret or endangered tumbleweed." "But if a man ofvision were to come along" "I can see it." "How's that saddle feeling?" "." "It's coming along." "We'll make a cowboy out ofyou yet." "We'ddoneso well with that one..." "I took on the second biggest hazard in the state- the Silver City mining operation." "Owned by Dickie Pilager." "He owned the land, but Benteen was leasing the mineral rights." "They go hand in glove, you know- the Benteens and the Pilagers." " Theywere still digging." " They had acres and acres oftailings... piled up from the Silver City glory days." "Looked like a pile oftrash rock... but ifyou could process it on a large enough scale" "I'm talking about bulldozers the size ofbattleships- you could make a fortune." "Providing jobs for the economically depressed." "A few, sure." "But then we started getting nasty pH readings... from the watershed all around them." "Started getting fish die-off... heavy metal residue." "The company said it was from the old mine shafts in these mountains around them." "There was nothing they could do about it." "Not true?" "." "Theywere concentrating the gold in these huge leach piles... and then dumping cyanide solution on them." " They used cyanide?" "." " Sodium cyanide." "It's a lixiviate." "Basic chemistry." "Smells like apricots for miles around." "I had an informant inside." "Or I thought I did." "Esparza- thatwas his name." "Vincent Esparza." "He told me theywere pushing all the contaminants to one side." "No treatment, no containment." "Just leaving it out there forthe elements." "And thatwas what's getting into ourwater system." "He even helped me plan my surprise inspection." "But when I got there... nothing but a bunch of empty pits... and a workforce with their lips buttoned." "I felt like an idiot." "I'd brought the press, photographers." "And your inside man, Esparza?" "." "Gone with the wind." "They said he'd been fired months earlier." "You got sandbagged." "Benteen, he doesn't take any prisoners." "He had his friend, Senator Pilager... appoint a new man at the top... whose only mission was to castrate the agency." "And who doyou think got fired first?" "." "Then they started allegations of misuse offunds." "There were even public hints about a drinking problem." "And when I tried to go back to work as a mining engineer..." "I found out soon enough I was all but unhireable in the industry." "Yeah." "And then I figured, well... since they accused me of having a drinking problem..." "I just might as well develop one." "And even with all that, you still wouldn't" "They don't have to worry about me, the Pilagers." "I know when I'm licked." "Ifthere's one thing I know all ofyou good folks have in common... it's that you know a good investment when you see one." "A big part of our agenda is up and rolling on a federal level... but it's high time we had somebody running this state... who's a hundred percent behind the program." "Hear!" "Hear!" "This has required a great commitment oftime and finances... from each and every one ofyou." "And despite the attack on our rights by Proposition 27... you folks went out and you shook the money tree like never before." "So I'm here to present our next governor... a young man who- well, who's almost as good-looking as his father." "Richard Pilager!" "I know none ofyou came here to listen to another speech." "But I'd just like to say how much I appreciate... your support in this... effort we've got going... to bring sober, responsive government back to this great state." "And you might as well pledge some money... to my daddy's next campaign whileyou're here." "Thankyou." "So, Mr. Benteen." "How's it look for the Prospectors this year?" "." " You a fan?" "." " Sure." "Why?" "." "They're fun to watch." "More fun when theywin than when they lose." " Sure." " Nothing to be ashamed of." "It's basic human behavior." "You can always pull for the underdog."

"." "We had our issues." "She seemed way too structured for someone likeyou." "Why did you dump me?" "." "You were so down on yourself... so convinced thatyou were a loser... that I started to agree with you." " I was a loser." " You lost a job." "You were moving up, and I was moving down." "And I didn't quit the paperwhen you were fired." "That wasn't loyal." " I deserved to be fired." " You were set up." "And I was ambitious." "So, areyou marrying this guy?" "."

"I've always wondered, when a butterfly leaves the safety of its cocoon, does it realize how beautiful it has become?" "Or does it still just see itself as a caterpillar?" "When I was a kid, I knew the secret to a happy life." "Play by the rules, work hard in school, and if you work hard in school, then your reward is more school." "And after more school, then you're given the best that life has to offer, a job, and money, and a future, filled with the unending singular pursuit of more." "It's going up a quarter of a point." "Block it now." "And this is what I was living for." "My happy life." "I envied those who never questioned it." "Me?" "I needed a way out." " The usual." " Sure." "I have..." "Here's something that I was hoping that you might..." "You might take a little..." "A look at." " Is there something the matter?" " No." "Your track record is perfect."

"I want to put some money down on Butterfly." "In the next race." "Can I use this?" "Sure." "How much?" "10." "$10,000, please." "Wait." "20. 20." "Maybe..." "How about 50?"

"It's Butterfly..." " Yes!" "... followed by Alpha and Jello." " Oh, my goodness!" "He's down!" " What the fuck?" "Butterfly has rolled, and there goes Alpha with him!" " What a terrible accident..." " Fuck!" "...ladies and gentlemen!" " Fuck!" "And it's Jello across the finish line." "Jello wins." " What do you guys want me to do?" " Shut up!" "How did you find this place?" "How did you..." "I'm talking to you!" "It's a simple fucking question!" "Okay, here we go." " Are you working for the cops?" " No." " I was just trying to gamble." "That's all." " You wanted to gamble?" "Nobody comes to this place because they feel like a little gambling!" "Please, I'm sorry, Del." "I wasn't going to run." "I was going to go..." "Fuck." "God damn." "You bet on Butterfly." "Yes, I did." "You knew about the fix." " No." "I didn't..." "I..." " Look, don't lie to me." "How?" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "How did you know about the fix?" "I overheard my coworkers, and I..." "I like butterflies." " You like what?" " Butterflies." " Butterflies." " I like butterflies." "He likes butterflies." "The horse's name is Butterfly, so he comes here, and he bets on a fix." " You know why they call me Fingers?" " No." "Well, Mr. Parks here knows why they call me Fingers." "Because two weeks ago, he also came by because he also felt like gambling." "Hey, I wasn't going to run." "I was gonna get the money from my sister!" "I was gonna go pick it up!" "He lost." "And instead of paying me what he owes me, what does he do?" " He tries to run." " I wasn't trying to run." "I swear to God!" "What is it with you guys?" "You come here, you make a stupid mistake, and now what?" "Now I got to be the bad guy?" "Is that it?" "That my job?" "I can't enjoy the fucking opera?" "I got to come here, and be a bad guy?" "You think I enjoy this?" " You think I enjoy this?" " I don't..." "I don't..." "I don't know." "Well, I don't enjoy it." "It's guys like you, and you, Mr. Parks." "You know, you just leave me no choice." "No." "You do have a choice." "My sister has the money!" "I..." "No!" "No!" "Fucking no!" "Oh, fuck!" "God!" "You son of a bitch!" "You got two weeks to pay me the money." "Each day you're late, I cut a finger." "Going somewhere?" "You." " But I..." " You're packing." "No, I'm not." "Sit down." "You work for Fingers, don't you?" "You have a nice home." "A good job." "You're good at it." "And you just threw it all away." "Why?" " Please, I don't know." " Why did you do this?" "I don't know." "I was stupid." "I wasn't thinking." " Why did you do this?" "Why did you do this?" " Please." "Stop it!" " Why did you do this?" " I don't know!" " Yes, you do." " No, I don't!" " You do!" " No, I don't!" " No!" " Tell me!" "I..." "I..." "Here, take it." "Go on." "It's all I can give you." "Wait." "What am I supposed to do with this?" "I don't know anymore." "Wait." "Wait." "Please." "Sometimes, being totally fucked can be a liberating experience." "Today, I see things in a new light." "I see the money move through this place like it does every day." "I see the cameras that will monitor my every move." "I see the panic button that the tellers will push, alerting the police." "And when that button's pushed," "I know that the police will arrive no earlier than four minutes, which gives me plenty of time, assuming I've already planned my escape route, which I have." "And finally, I see a strap bag with a lead-lined pouch, filled with money." "No one else will see it." "But I'll know it's there." "Everybody, freeze." "Freeze." "Everybody, freeze!" "Dude, that was crazy." "Are you okay?" "Are you okay?" "Let's go!" "Move, move, move!" "This is the police." "You are surrounded." "Do not attempt to run, or make any sudden moves." "Drop your weapon, raise your hands, and walk forward to the south end of the roof." "Put the bag and the gun down!" "This is your last warning." "Drop your weapon, or you will be fired upon!" "Call the..." "We need to get him on..." "Sir, sir, can you tell me what happened to you?" " I don't know." " Sir, can you remember what happened to you?" "I don't know." "You tell me." "As far back as I can remember, I've never lost a fight." " Come on, Markie, hurry up!" " I can't do it anymore!" "Can't run anymore!" "I didn't fight well because I was big or fast or mean." "I fought well because I could see the future." "The problem with seeing the future is that it only comes in bits and pieces, like a reflection in a broken mirror." "After a while, though, it's like playing a video game in your head." "Do it enough times, and you know all the moves." "Look out!" "But no matter what, the future is written." "Markie, say something, come on!" "I can't change that." "Come on." "Markie." "Markie!" "Markie!" "Markie!" "And sometimes, the things you can't change, they end up changing you." "Please, wait!" "Wait!" "Fingers, he'll listen to you." "Talk to him!" "Please?" "I've seen what happens to you." "Nothing could change that." "No!" "Please, no!" " It's done." " Good." "I need you to pick somebody up at the airport." "I know." "See, my dad's got business locked tight back home, but you know, I want to see the world, you know." "And my Uncle Fingers, he's all about family and sharing the wealth, you know?" "You know how he got that nickname, Fingers?" "Because people do whatever he wants, and all he has to do is just snap his fingers." "Man, that's a great fucking nickname, man." "Just fucking snap, and snap his fucking fingers and shit, yeah." "You know, seeing my uncle is cool and all, but I'll tell you, I came here for one thing, and one thing only." "Pussy." "You know what the fuck I'm saying?" "I'm going to fuck tonight!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "I heard my favorite uncle was here, huh?" "Come on!" " How you doing?" " Good." " How are you, Tony?" "Good to see you." " Great to see you..." "That's the boss's nephew." "Nigga, what?" "Look at this fucking thing." "This is huge!" "What's he like?" " Fuck, I mean, this is just like..." "Fuck." " Articulate." "My men taking good care of you?" "Oh, yeah, yeah." "We've been chatting it up." "We're going to check this town out." " Good." " Yeah." " Young man's gotta change his oil." " Yeah." "Listen to me." "Your dad wants me to pop your cherry, show you the ropes." "Now, there's going to be plenty of time for dick-waving, but we need to make time for..." " Business." " Exactly." "No joking around." "Okay." "Good." "You want to take Tony out on your rounds tonight, show him the city, what we do?" "Start his education, keep you company?" "Okay?" " Of course." " All right, then." "Keep your ass out of trouble." "Remember the last time." "Yeah, yeah, hey, hey, no lingerie." "I swear." "I promise, huh?" "It's funny now, all right?" "Okay, go." "Get out of here." "Go outside." "I got some business to discuss." "I'll see you later." "Kid's a fucking mess." "Just try to keep him out of trouble." "Maybe he'll learn a thing or two." "But, now, it's time for business." "Listen to this." " What do you think?" " It's fine." " Excuse me?" " It's fine." ""It's fine." It's fucking great." "What are you talking about?" "I don't know much about music." "A client of mine, who paid his debt to me..." "Part of the deal was her management contract." "This is her first CD." "The sales?" "Through the roof." "Very promising." "I'm sorry, I still don't follow you." "How long have we been doing this?" "Too long." "I'm tired of chasing money." "I'm tired of teaching lessons to lowlifes who won't pay." "I've always hoped for more." "For both of us." "This girl's our way out." "I'm sure she's going to be pissed off when she finds out I'm her new manager, but I'll take care of that." "You just keep an eye on her." "Yeah." "What is it?" "What do you see?" "Nothing." "You see something." "I don't see anything." "What do you mean?" "She has no future?" "No, she has a future." "I just can't see it." "You don't talk much, do you, huh?" "Busy thinking about the future, I bet." "Yeah, my uncle fucking told me." "He said you can see the future and shit." "Says you're fucking money." "Casinos, stock market..." "He said you know it all." "You know what it reminds me of?" "You ever see that movie Krull?" "All right, there's this fucking Cyclops in it, and the way that he got that way was he traded one of his eyes to see the future." "Okay, but long story fucking crazy short all ended up happening was the evil warlord tricked that fucker, and the only future he could see was his own death." "Man, that shit would suck." "Yeah." "Fuck me." "So, what's the plan tonight, my man?" "Are we going to get some fucking drinks first, or is it just" " straight to the pussy?" " Tonight we work." "He's not here." "Come back next week." "He's in the hospital." "Getting a mole removed." "Come back next week!" " Hey!" "Stop!" " How do you like that, huh?" "Bet you don't!" "Yeah." "I told you next week!" "Oh, no, no, no, no, no." "You pay up now, old bag." "Otherwise, we're going to fuck some more shit up, huh?" "Hey!" "Stop, little bastard!" "Come on!" "Dude!" "Dude!" "Why didn't you help me out when I was getting fucked by Moby Dick in there, huh?" "Come on, what do you think?" "You want me to go back?" "Stomp that bitch, man?" "'Cause I'm a fucking savage, you know what I'm saying?" "Look at this fucking hat." "Look at this shit, man." " Where's the money?" " Where's the fucking money, huh?" "I don't have it!" " You bleeding?" " I don't know." "Get up." "I'm going to cut you a break." "I'm coming back next week, all right?" "I need you to get that money." "I want to make sure Fingers gets it." "'Cause if he doesn't, he's going to get one of these." "Yeah?" " You don't want that." " No." " Okay?" "I'll see you next week." " Yeah." " Okay." " All right?" "I'm sorry about the missus." "Let's go." "Dude!" "Man, I've never seen anything like that, man." "Fucking cold, merciless shit back there." "I mean, you knew that crazy bitch was coming, didn't you?" "You..." "What's it like?" "I mean, what do you see?" "You enjoy this shit, man?" "Fucking people up like that?" "Sometimes it's part of the job." "Yeah, but do you enjoy it?" "'Cause you know what I think?" "I think you do, man." "I think you love it." "Yeah, you do, 'cause otherwise, you'd just predict the lottery, and get the fuck out of here, right?" " Right, right?" " I can't." "What do you mean you can't?" "A man does anything he wants." "I can't do that." "I can't do that because I haven't been shown." "The moment I see it, then I'll move on." "So, you could, like..." "You could, like, fuck any girl, and know you ain't getting the clap for sure, sure, huh?" "I mean, safe sex is a beautiful thing." "So I've heard." "Dude, this is just what my dream house looks like." "I want a place just like this, with chicks, and music, and chicks fucking each other, while some midget chick sucks my balls." "Why didn't we come here first?" "Lot of ass for an old guy." "Hello, boys." "It's a pleasure to see you." "As always." "Jiyoung, this is Tony, Fingers' nephew." "Oh!" "Hi, how you doing?" "Hi." "I love your uncle." "He's such a sweet man." "Have you had something to drink?" "No, I'm actually on a bit of a schedule right now, but you know..." " We got a room or..." " We don't have time to stay." "You always say that, but I know it's not true." "Whatever you want, just ask." "Hey, hey." "Baby, baby." "Ladies, Tony's not that easy." "Let's get high and naked." "Where's the fucking room?" " That old man up there..." " He and his men are regulars." "They don't even bring their guns." " He has a gun." " Just him." "No one else." "You pay for Fingers' protection." "It's worth every penny." "You know you're always welcome to stay." "I don't entertain anymore." "Unless I choose to." "Can you do me a favor?" "Anything." "Tell Tony that" "I'll be back after my rounds." "Of course." "When you can see the future, you think you're capable of changing it." "But you're just a witness to coming moments, unable to help, even if you wanted to." "And maybe you don't." "Sometimes you think you're supposed to learn something..." "Come on, man!" "Give me some!" "... about patience or distance." "But in the end, it's all about discipline." "Seeing things you don't always want to." "And just moving on." "After a while, things become easier." "Routine keeps your mind from wandering." "You begin to accept things as they are." "Every man has his destiny." "You can't escape it." "Even if you can see it coming." "Where you going, baby?" "Hi." "Hey, come on, baby." "Come on, get the fuck up." "No!" " You're in the wrong room!" " No!" "Don't fucking touch me!" "Hey, come on, baby, come on." "You don't want to do this..." " Don't tell me what to do!" " My bad." "Oh, no, no, no, no." "We were having a very nice time, so go away!" " Fuck!" "Take it easy." " No!" "No!" "Come on!" "Petrovich!" " Petrovich." " Drop the fucking gun." "No, no, mate, you got this all wrong, man." "This isn't my fault." " The gun went off by itself!" " Drop the fucking gun!" "It's not my fucking fault, man!" "The fucking gun just went off!" "Then there's nothing to worry about." "Don't fucking come any fucking closer, dude." "I'll fucking use this, man." "I'll fucking..." "Don't..." "Get the fuck back, man." "You're going to shoot us all?" "Hey!" "Let's go." "I did nothing!" "I did nothing!" "I did nothing!" " What are we doing, man?" "We have the gun." " No." "No killing today." "Fuck!" "What the fuck you waiting for, huh?" "So, why all this effort when you know what's going to happen?" "Will watching a person's fate give it purpose?" "Or is it just the muted feeling of watching a movie when you know how it ends?" "And then something happens that I will never forget." "Come on!" "I'm wrong." "For the first time ever, fate takes a detour, and I glimpse something strange and new." "Run!" "A future where anything can happen." "It's a beautiful thing." "And the feeling it gives me is as close as I've ever felt" "to pleasure." "Sir, sir, can you tell me what happened to you?" "I don't know." "You tell me." "There's my boy." "I appreciate what you did for Tony." "How come you didn't see it coming?" "Don't worry about it." "Just get better." "We need you back." "I need you back." "The guys that did this to you," "I'm going to take care of it." "'Cause nobody treats my boy this way." "Nobody." "This is a pre-boarding call for flight 62..." "Chaos, mayhem, panic in the streets." "My work here is done." "Um..." "Thanks." "And don't worry, you know, pussy's..." "Pussy's still going to line up for you." "Chicks love scars." "It's like a road map of the soul, you know?" "Hey." "It's a new day, and I have no idea what to expect." "I can change someone's life if I feel like it, make it worse, or better." "It's up to me." "A girl with a future I can't see enters my life." "On the same day, my visions fail me for the first time." "There are some people that believe in coincidences." "I am not one of them." "This has got to get old, huh?" "Every 10 minutes, you got another guy like me asking you the same three questions." "It's part of my job." "Well, I promise you that I'm going to try to make it interesting, okay?" "I'm all about asking questions that no one else asks." " No one?" " No one." "You gotta trust me, okay?" "It's going to be fun." "You're sweet." " Forty seconds." " Got you." " Thanks, Danny." " Frank's here." "Where?" "What does he want?" "He needs to change your schedule." "Some kind of meeting." "And cameras rolling!" "So, Trista, thank you for sitting down with me today." "Oh, for you, anything." "So, your debut album, it heralds you as this fantastic new talent." "Is there pressure to try to live up to the hype?" "It's not hype." "You know, I'm not just a pretty face." "I have something to say." "I'm just so excited that my fans want to hear it." "Okay, but what is it about you that sets you apart from all the other acts that are out there today?" "I think it's my musical influences." " You know, if you go back..." " Okay, what I mean, you're young, you're pretty, you sing, you dance." "Why should we care, right?" "I mean, what is it about you that's so special?" " What makes me special?" " Yeah." " Nothing." " Nothing?" "Do you mean, like, what makes me better than everyone else?" "No." "Not better." "Just..." "Deserving." "Deserving." "Um..." "Well, I..." " What is he doing?" " I have a really rare blood type." "Don't worry." " How about that?" " What is he doing?" "It's okay." "She's doing fine." "It's called Kp A-B." "Almost no one has it." "That's my gift from God." "Well, that, and I sing and dance well enough to have millions of fans." "Uh-oh." "It's more like hundreds of thousands." "Right?" "Whatever." "Doesn't make a difference." "I have fans that chant my name wherever I go." "Come on, Trista, I mean..." "They're not even chanting your real name, right?" "What?" "I mean, can't you at least tell us your real name?" "I'll never tell." "How about my name?" "We've met like this now three times, three different interviews." "You say you'll do anything for me." "What's my name?" " We're done." "We're done." "We're done!" " Wait, wait." "What, what?" "Take it easy." "What's the problem?" "What did I do?" "You." "Danny." "Danny." "That son of a bitch is going to be wiping asses for a living by the time I'm through with him." "Just take me home." "We can't leave yet." "We have a meeting." "Are you kidding me?" "Don't worry." "It's right on stage 10." "It'll be fast." "Okay, now, flash Papa Fingers those beautiful blue eyes." "Randall's got nothing on you, kid." "Fingers!" "What do you think?" "Living the dream, huh?" "You ruined my shot, Frank." "It's a pleasure meeting you." "Fingers." "It's cute." "I guess I'm supposed to ask why they call you that?" "I guess it's because when I talk, I use my hands a lot." "Sorry." " You're Trista, right?" " Yeah." "Now that we're friends, let's get down to business." "Sure." "Trista, things are going great." "Single's getting play, the album's starting to sell, the video is getting a lot of air time, but there's a big difference between having a video on MTV and being an artist who headlines arenas." "What Frank is trying to say is that you need someone to take you to the next level." "Someone who's going to open doors." "Someone who's strong." " You're quitting?" " No." "No." "I'm not quitting." "I'm not..." "I'm stepping aside." "A person of his influence can make you a superstar." "He asks for things, and people give them." "Gladly." "I'm so excited to be working with you, and completely committed to your success." "And all I ask is you commit to me." "And that's our deal." "That's our promise that we make to each other." "If anybody gets in our way," " I'll take care of it." " I don't fucking believe this." " Get me a car." " Trista, baby..." "Oh, screw you, Frank!" "That didn't go so well." "It went fine." "Tomorrow, we get to go shopping for a new manager." "Trista, there are contracts." "Fuck contracts!" "I think I should go." "Can you stay with her?" "Sure." "Be back tomorrow." " I'm tired." " Yeah." " Do you love me, Danny?" " Course I do." "I love you, too." "Leave the light on, Daddy." "I don't like the dark." "Daddy." "My little girl's not nervous, is she, huh?" "Come on." "Don't worry." "After school, I'll be right here waiting for you, okay?" "Come on, let's go." "Daddy?" "Danny!" "Danny?" "Your friends are not going to help you." "Nobody's going to help you." "Nobody but me." "Your manager has drained all your accounts trying to pay me back." "And that little piece of paper that owns you is the only thing that's keeping his ass alive." "Now, what does that mean?" "It means that you..." "You have nothing." "And you are nothing unless I say you are." "And you are going on the road." "And you're staying on the road until I see profit." "And if I ever have to come back here again, we're going to have a totally different conversation." "You understand me?" "Cheers." "Thanks." " Don't you think you've had enough?" " No." "I don't think it's nearly enough." "It can't be as bad as you think." "You must get tired of not knowing what the fuck you're talking about." "Where were you anyway when Frank was fucking me over?" "Were you in on it?" "Did you help him?" "No." "Of course not." "I'm your friend." "I can't remember." "How much does being my friend pay again?" "Allison, wait..." "Wait, wait!" "Hey, who's paying for the drinks?" "I didn't mean it." "Come on!" "I'm sorry." " Trista!" " Trista!" "Oh, my God!" "Trista!" "Allison!" "Allison!" "Wait!" "God damn it!" "Come on!" "Oh, come on." "I'm sorry." " Are you Trista?" " What?" " Are you Trista?" " No." " Yes, you are." " No, no, no." " Hey, can I have an autograph?" " Sure." " To Jake the hottie." " Yeah, sure." "Cute." " Trista, my sister loves you!" " I love your sister." " You looked great in your last movie." " Thank you." "Thanks." " You were the best, too." " Thank you." " Trista!" "Trista!" " Stop!" "God, that fucking hurts." "Hey, how about a picture?" " Get a picture of this." " No!" "Stop!" "I love you, Trista!" "We love you!" " So, I can leave?" " Of course." "What are you going to do?" "Where you gonna go?" "I don't know." "I mean, I have shows coming up." "Fingers owns you now." "He'll work you until you're used up, and throw you away." "It's just what he does." "What are you suggesting I do?" "Well, if Fingers knows that you've run, then he'll hunt you down." "But, you know, the one place that he won't look is..." "Is right here." "I could get some money together, and you could..." "You could get far enough away that not even Fingers could touch you." "Why are you helping me?" "I don't know." "I just want to." "For as long as I can remember," "I've never let myself want anything." "Stay away from the windows, and, you know, help yourself to anything in the kitchen." "Otherwise, don't touch anything." "You okay?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "It's just..." "Just work." "What did you do today?" "I looked for you." "I like what you've done with the place." "I figured if I was going to be here for a while..." "Who's that in the picture with you?" "It's Markie." " Are you guys close?" " Oh, yeah." "Yeah." "We were." "He's..." "He died." " I'm sorry." " That's all right." "What happened?" "I saw it coming," "and couldn't do anything to stop it." "I know how that feels." "Makes you feel like you never want to feel anything ever again." " There." " That's good." "It's just what I need." "More scars." "Did you know that scars are the road map to the soul?" "Yes." "It's been a couple weeks, and I was thinking that maybe we could take a trip." "Tomorrow?" " You mean we're leaving?" " Yeah." "What's in your hand?" "That's nothing." "It's just something I think I saw." " It's not what you think, really." " What do you have to do?" "Don't worry about it." "It's for a friend." " Hello?" " Who is this?" "Piece of shit!" "Three weeks we've been looking for this tart." "Three weeks!" "Asking around, busting heads, you by my side, and all this time, she was sitting right here with you!" "You'd think when that scumbag Frank begged for death, you would have shown some mercy on the poor bastard, and told me the truth, but no!" "You just stood there and watched." "You're a cold piece of work, my friend." "A cold piece of fucking work." "Oh." "What's this?" "You putting some aside, take your little lady on vacation?" "Huh?" "Is that yours?" "I don't think so!" "Leave me alone." "Go." "What's the matter with you?" "Back in the day, you would have saw this coming." "You're losing your touch." "Did you say something to me?" "You trying to say something to me?" "You put me in this situation!" "You think I'm a bad man?" "I'm talking to you." "I'm not a bad man." "I want what everybody wants." "I tried to give you everything." "And what happened?" "What did you do with it?" "But that wasn't enough for you!" "It wasn't enough!" "You wanted more." "You have all the love in the world, but that's not enough for you, so you took my friend!" "And you turned him against me!" "And then what?" "You're a selfish little shit!" "I guess..." "You don't know what you got until it's gone." "Oh, my God." "Tell me." "Tell you what?" "Your real name." " Hi." " Gate's closed." " No." " You gotta go around the front." "You gotta let me in." " No." "Cool it." " Please, please." "No, you don't understand." " I'm a doctor." " You gotta go around front." "Someone..." "Someone is going to die." "I've got to see Trista." "This is the last time I'm going to tell you." "Cool it!" "I got to see Trista!" "Come on, come on, man!" "I'm a doctor!" "All right, she is going to fucking die, and it's going to be your fault!" "Everyone has a purpose." "Sometimes a person lives their entire life without knowing what theirs is." "Not me." "I knew when I was 10." "My purpose is to love the right person wholly and completely." "When I was 10, that person was Heidi Fontel." "But when Heidi's father moved her family away," "I was sure I would love again, and soon." "I was wrong." "I met Gina in med school." "We were best friends." "My roommate, Henry, said she was the kind of girl you waited to marry." "But I waited too long." "She married Henry right out of college." "And I was best man." "And all these years later, I guess I still am." "So, where were we?" "Henry was trying to make a point." "Henry's trying..." "He's trying to make a point." " About you joining him in plastics?" " What else?" "Bob is rich." "That's not right." "And Derek." "Derek barely graduated, and Derek is rich as shit!" "It's not all about the money." "Hey, you put in the time, you do the work, you ought to be compensated." " I'm doing fine." " A lot of folks are doing fine." "She's doing fine." "Oh, that's right." "She's the waitress." "Everyone else I know?" " Rich as shit!" " I'm not." "But you're doing genius research which one day will lead to an amazing discovery." " Maybe." " And that will lead to patents, and now we're talking stupid rich." "There's nothing wrong with her trying to make people's lives better." "No." "It's fantastic." "I love her for it." "I make people's lives better." "I do." "Come on." "Okay, I admit it." "The boob jobs and the Botox, that's what pays for my amazing car." "Okay, but consider this." "A girl is born with a nose that could kill on sight." "There's no prom day for this girl, no shy first kiss." "She gets in an accident, sure, you patch her up fine." "But eventually, this girl's going to write a goodbye letter to her cat, and throw herself off a rooftop." "The same girl, she comes to me," "I do a little of my magic, and, my friend, that letter never gets written." "I have saved a life." "Hey, I saved a life today." "Maybe I did, too." "We'll never know." "But either way, I'm going to sleep tonight in one big motherfucking house." "I gotta pee." " My husband." " Your husband." " So, how are the snakes?" " They're great." "My hours are killing me, though." "You feeling all right?" "I'm exhausted." "Been fighting a cold, too." " You should come see me tomorrow." " I don't want to bother you." "That's impossible." "You know that, right?" "Take care." "Jesus." "Think about what I said." "Oh, man, thank you." "Are you this way?" " No, I'm actually parked out back." " I'm sorry." " You're going to be okay?" " Yeah, I'm used to this." " Love you." " Love you, too." " Bring me the vial." " All right." "Yeah." "Here we go." "You're going to cure hemophilia, little guy." "Dr. Sweet?" "Mmm-hmm." "This isn't a rattler." "Maybe you want to break out the gear." "Don't worry." " What do we got?" " Snake bite." "Let me take a look." "Oh, my God." "They sent us the wrong anti-venom!" " She needs a transfusion now!" " Gina?" "Hey, Gina." "Gina." "Can you hear me?" "Gina, hi." "Hi." " Come on, wake up now." " My blood..." "What?" " What did she say?" " I'm not sure." "Something about her blood." "Get her blood type." "What bit her?" " A Russell viper." " All right, tell me about this snake." "You don't understand." "It's already in her heart." "She needs a transfusion." " Get me that blood type now!" " She's got 24 hours!" " Okay." " Doctor, I have her blood type." "What?" "What the hell is this?" " The lab said it's extremely rare." " All right." "Do we have any of this in stock?" " I've never even seen it come through here." " All right." "Check again." " No, Doctor..." " Just do it!" "Henry?" "Henry?" "Did Gina keep any of her own blood in storage?" "All right, look." "Listen, she's..." "She's been bitten." "Hello!" "Can you check again, please?" "It's very rare." "Next week is too late." "Thailand?" "Please don't put me on hold." "Please don't put me on hold." "Please..." "Damn!" "We don't have it, Doctor." "I checked the computer files, but it's useless!" "It's not in there." "We don't have her blood type!" "Doctor!" "Stop it, Doctor!" "We don't have the blood type." "That's why..." "Nick!" " Damn it!" " Wait!" "What are you doing?" "No, no, no." "Wait, wait." "You don't understand." "You've got to let me go!" "You don't understand!" "She's going to die!" "All right." "All right, all right!" "All right!" "I'm fine." "I'm all right." "Just let me go." "Let me go." "Okay, I'm fine." "I'm all right." "I'm here live inside Palm Hill Studios, where Trista has begun production on her second music video." "Now, we're not allowed to take you inside the actual shooting, but while we're waiting, why don't we take another look at a clip from a recent interview that had everybody wondering," ""Pop superstar or pop meltdown?"" " What makes me special?" " Yeah." " Nothing." " Nothing?" "Do you mean, like, what makes me better than everyone else?" "No." "Not better." "Just..." "Deserving." "Deserving." "I have a really rare blood type." "How about that?" "A blood type?" "Yeah, it's called Kp A-B." "Almost no one has it." "That's my gift from God." "Okay, I talked to the director." "I told him no more than two full run-throughs of the song." "Thank you." " Are you okay?" " Yeah." "You need some air?" " No, I think I can..." " I think you need some air." "Could everyone please back off?" "She needs air!" "Let's go, honey." "I mean it!" "Back off!" "Let's go." " Put this on." " What's going on?" "Your plane ticket and passport are in the pocket." " Hi." " Gate's closed." " No." " You gotta go around the front." "You gotta let me in." " No." " Wait, I..." "I'm a doctor." "Don't call anyone." "Just lay low for a little while." "Give me some time, and I'll make sure that someone gets to you." "I'm a doctor!" "All right, she is going to fucking die, and it's going to be your fault!" "She's going to fucking die!" "Trista?" " Trista, wait!" "Wait!" " No, no, don't get near her!" "Get in!" " No, no, Gina..." " No!" " Let go of Allison!" "Help!" " Sorry, I'll explain later!" "Trista!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Trista?" "My God, Trista?" "Trista." "Trista, are you okay?" "Oh, God!" "Trista." "Trista?" "I pushed back your concert dates and canceled your video shoot." "And I'm not mad at you." "Even though I know you tried to leave." "But I'm not mad at you." "When were you going to tell me?" " Tell you what?" " About the baby." " I'm pregnant?" " Three weeks." "You didn't know?" "It's gonna be okay." "I know what you're trying to do." "You want the whole world to love you, and that's a dangerous fucking life." "And you can't do it alone." "But I'm gonna take care of you." "I'm gonna make that happen." "All your dreams will come true." "And to put that aside would mean that he died for no reason." "It would mean you killed him for no reason." "No." "We have a deal." "He got in the way." "And I did my part." "Now it's time for you to do your part." "We both lost someone special." "Now it's time to move on." "I hate you." "Until the day I die, I will hate you." "You can't keep the baby." " What?" " You got concert dates and TV appearances." "You can't keep the baby." " It's my baby." " No one gets in our way!" "No one!" "You got a concert date in two weeks." "Gives us plenty of time to take care of this." "I'm gonna make the arrangements." "Wait, wait, wait." "Wait." "No, no." "No." "Stop!" "Stop!" "You're going to have to reach for me." "Please." "I need you." "Please." " Hi." " Hey." "Hey." "So, you saved a life today." "You, too." "It's funny." "It's the only thing that matters." "All the rest of it..." "I'm glad your baby's okay." "Me, too." " Thanks for the loaner." " Sure." " I'll get it back to you as soon as I can." " Whatever." "You okay?" "Yeah." "I will be." "It's hard starting over." "You'll be fine." "So will you." "Thank you." "I'm sorry, sir, but you can't go in there." "Sir!" "Sir, you're not allowed!" "Dude, that was crazy!" "Are you okay?" "Are you okay?"

"They've killed the boy!" "They've killed young Paolo!" "They've killed your son Paolo!" "Murderers!" "Murderers!" "My son..." "All my respect, Don Ciccio." "You killed my husband because he wouldn't give in to you." "And his oldest son Paolo because he swore revenge." "But Vito is only nine." "And dumb-witted." "He never speaks." "It's not his words I'm afraid of." "He's weak." "He couldn't hurt anyone." "But when he grows, he'll grow strong." "Don't worry." "This little boy can't do a thing to you." "When he's a man, he'll come for revenge." "I beg you, Don Ciccio, spare my only son." "He's all I have left." "I swear to God he'll never do you any harm." "Spare him!" "Move and I'll kill him!" "Run, Vito!" "Kill him!" "Any family who hides the boy Vito Andolini will regret it!" "You understand?" "Anybody who hides the boy Vito Andolini is in for trouble!" "Vito, we're praying for you!" "If anyone is hiding the boy Vito Andolini turn him over to us." "Don Ciccio will thank you for it!" "It'll be better for the boy, and better for you!" "Any family who hides the boy Vito Andolini will regret it!" "With all respect, I didn't come here to eat dinner!" "I know, I know." "Your family's still called Corleone." "And you'll run it like a Corleone." "My family doesn't eat here, doesn't eat in Las Vegas and doesn't eat in Miami with Hyman Roth!" "You'll have to excuse me." "I'm tired, and I'm a little drunk!" "Cicci, the door..." "She's really beautiful." "You've got to see her." "Wait till you see her." "Words can't describe her." "I left Naples." "I left Mama." "For a no-good tramp!" "Now here I am in America, in New York." "Alone!" "Thinking of my mother." "Without news from home." "Finally, a letter from Naples!" "Vito, how do you like my little angel?" "Isn't she beautiful?" "She's very beautiful." "To you, she's beautiful." "For me, there's only my wife and son." "Our dear mother - ...is dead!" "We'll go backstage later and take her to eat." "Sit down, you bum!" "Oh, excuse me, Don Fanucci." "We'll go see her backstage." "Who was that?" "The Black Hand." "That's Fanucci...the Black Hand." "We'll talk about it tomorrow." "Tomorrow!" "Always tomorrow!" "You'll pay me today!" "Let's go." "Not my daughter!" "Let her go!" "Here, take all my money!" "I know what you're thinking." "But you don't know how things are." "Fanucci's with the Black Hand." "The whole neighborhood pays him." "Even my father, in the grocery store." "If he's Italian why does he bother other Italians?" "He knows they have nobody to protect them." "Forget that." "Did you like my angel?" "If you're happy, I'm happy." "Don't you feel well?" "Is your boss treating you all right?" "Forget it." "Hide this for me!" "Next week I'll come and get it!" "Abbandando, meet my nephew!" "How's business?" "It's good, it's good." "Fanucci's mad." "Says the neighborhood's getting sloppy." "People don't pay on time, don't pay the full amount." "Says he's been too nice to everyone." "So Fanucci's changing?" "Sure." "He wants double from everybody." "Even from my father." "I'm a friend, right?" "So you'll let him work here?" "I've got some bad news." "I feel rotten about telling you this..." "But Fanucci...he's got a nephew..." "And you have to give him my job." "You've always been good to me, ever since I came here." "You looked after me like a father." "I thank you." "And I won't forget it." "Take this to your family." "Thanks anyway." "But please, I can't accept." "What a nice pear!" "I'm Clemenza, you still have my goods?" "Did you look inside?" "I'm not interested in things that don't concern me." "A friend of mine has a nice rug." "Maybe your wife would like it." "Sure she would." "But who has money for a rug?" "It would be a present." "I know how to return a favor." "My wife would like it." "That son of a bitch!" "He isn't home!" "Damn, he didn't even leave the key." "Well, he won't mind." "This is your friend's place?" "This is a real palace." "One of the best." "Vito, give me a hand, will you?" "Look how pretty it is, Santino!" "Michael Corleone is here." "He's in your den." "You better hurry." "He's been waiting a half hour." "Is something wrong?" "It's nothing." "Just some lousy bandits." "The police are cleaning them up." "It's New Year's Eve." "Come on, just for a minute." "Due to serious setbacks to our troops in Guantanamo and Santiago my position in Cuba is untenable." "I am resigning from office to avoid further bloodshed." "And I shall leave the city immediately." "I wish all of you good luck." "Poor little Fredo, he's got pneumonia." "Young man, I hear you and your friends are stealing goods." "But you don't even send a dress to my house." "No respect!" "You know I've got three daughters." "This is my neighborhood." "You and your friends should show me some respect." "You should let me wet my beak a little." "I hear you and your friends cleared $600 each." "Give me $200 each, for your own protection." "And I'll forget the insult." "You young punks have to learn to respect a man like me!" "Otherwise the cops will come to your house." "And your family will be ruined." "Of course if I'm wrong about how much you stole" " I'll take a little less." "And by less, I only mean - a hundred bucks less." "Now don't refuse me." "Understand, paisan?" "I understand." "My friends and I share all the money." "So first, I have to talk to them." "Tell your friends I don't want a lot." "Just enough to wet my beak." "Don't be afraid to tell them!" "600 bucks..." "Suppose we don't pay?" "You know his gang, Tessio." "Real animals." "Maranzalla himself let Fanucci work this neighborhood." "He's got connections with the cops, too." "We have to pay him." "$200 each...everybody agreed?" "Why do we have to pay him?" "Vito, leave this to us." "He's one person, we're three." "He's got guns, we've got guns." "Why should we give him the money we sweated for?" "This is his neighborhood!" "I know two bookies who don't give anything to Fanucci." "They don't pay Fanucci." "If they don't pay Fanucci, then somebody else collects for Maranzalla!" "We'll all be better off if we pay him." "Don't worry." "Now what I say stays in this room." "If you both like, why not give me $50 each to pay Fanucci?" "I guarantee he'll accept what I give him." "If Fanucci says $200 he means it, Vito!" "I'll reason with him." "Leave everything to me." "I never lie to my friends." "Tomorrow you both go talk to Fanucci." "He'll ask for the money." "Tell him you'll pay whatever he wants." "Don't argue with him." "Then I'll go and get him to agree." "Don't argue with him, since he's so tough." "How can you get him to take less?" "That's my business." "Just remember that I did you a favor." "Is it a deal?" "His family's out of the house." "Fanucci's alone in the cafe." "Are you sure he's going to go for it?" "It looks like there's - $100 under my hat." "I was right." "Only $100..." "I'm short of money right now." "I've been out of work...so just give me a little time." "You understand, don't you?" "You've got balls, young man!" "How come I never heard of you before?" "You've got a lot of guts." "I'll find you some work for good money." "No hard feelings, right?" "If I can help you, let me know." "You've done well for yourself." "Enjoy the festa!" "Oh, this is too violent for me!" "What've you got there?" "Michael, your father loves you very much." "Tell me something, Ma." "What did Papa think..." "deep in his heart?" "He was being strong..." "Strong for his family." "But by being strong for his family could he lose it?" "You're thinking about your wife..." "about the baby you lost." "But you and your wife can always have another baby." "No, I meant..." "lose his family." "But you can never lose your family." "Times are changing." "It's my pleasure." "I don't want money." "Take it as a gift." "Signora Colombo, why did you come to see me?" "Your wife told me to ask if you could help me." "She's in bad trouble." "Her neighbors complained to the landlord about her dog." "He told her to get rid of the animal." "But her little boy loves that dog." "So she hid it." "When the landlord found out, he got mad and told her to leave." "Now she can't stay even if she gets rid of it." "I'm so ashamed!" "He said he'd get the police to throw us out on the street." "I'm sorry, but..." "I could give you a couple dollars to help you move." "I can't move!" "I want you to talk to him!" "Tell him I want to stay here!" "What's your landlord's name?" "His name is Signor Roberto." "He lives on Fourth Street, near here." "They break the windows, they dirty the floors..." "A real pig-sty, eh?" "My name is Vito Corleone." "Signora Colombo is a friend of my wife." "She says she's been evicted for no good reason." "She's a poor widow, she has nobody to take care of her." "She has no relatives, no money." "All she has is this neighborhood." "I already rented the place to another family." "I told her that I'd talk to you." "That you're a reasonable man." "She got rid of the animal that caused all the trouble." "So let her stay." "Are you Sicilian?" "No, I'm Calabrese." "We're practically paisan, do me this favor." "I already rented it!" "I'll look like an idiot." "Besides, the new tenants pay more rent." "How much more a month?" "Five bucks." "Here's six months increase in advance." "But don't tell her about it." "She's very proud." "Come see me in another six months." "Of course, the dog stays." "Right?" "The dog stays." "Who the hell are you to come give me orders?" "Watch out or I'll kick your Sicilian ass right into the street!" "Do me this favor." "I won't forget it." "Ask your friends in the neighborhood about me." "They'll tell you I know how to return a favor." "What a character!" "That landlord is here..." "Roberto, the one who owns those rat holes." "He's been asking all around the neighborhood about you." "I hope I'm not disturbing you, Don Vito." "What can I do for you, Don Roberto?" "What a misunderstanding!" "Holy Mary!" "Of course Signora Colombo can stay!" "I'm giving back the money you gave me." "Because after all, Don Vito, money isn't everything." "Can I sit down?" "Your kindness to that widow made me ashamed of myself." "I'll even lower it." "I'll lower it $5." "I'll lower it $10!" "Can I offer you some coffee?" "I'm late for an appointment!" "I can't this time!" "Ask me another time!" "You'll have to excuse me for now." "I wish I could stay longer!" "Just call me and I'll be here!" "He won't be back." "He'll hide out in the Bronx!" "Don Ciccio, it's Tommasino." "Allow me the honor of introducing someone." "My partner in America, in New York." "His name is Vito Corleone." "We'll send him olive oil from here." "To his company in America." "They're olive oil importers, Don Ciccio." "We'd like your blessing, and your permission to start work." "Where is this young man from New York?" "Have him come closer." "I can't see him so good." "My respects, Don Ciccio." "Give me your blessing." "Bless you!" "What's your name?" "You took the name of this town!" "And what's your father's name?" "His name was..." "Antonio Andolini." "Louder, I don't hear so good." "My father's name was Antonio Andolini and this is for you!" "So...you're staying?" "Yes, I'm staying."

"Air Force, Emergency Center." "We're seeing a real problem?" "Uh-huh." "Yeah!" "We have a major situation here at Silver Wing Industries." "And I think one of our guys is trapped." "Calm down, Sky Force is on their way." "Hurry, it's getting worse." "We got flames everywhere." "Now putting the call through." "Captain Hawk, we have a Code 6 in Silver Wing Industries." "Come in, Captain Hawk!" "This is Captain Hawk." "Roger that." "Code 6" "Silver Wing Industries." "We're on it." "Team this is Captain Hawk, we have a Code 6 in Silver Wing Industries." "I need everyone on this, because they need Sky Force." "Roll call:" "Loader," "Water Bird," "Katy" "Ace" "Here, Captain." "Ready to rock n ' roll." "Now team we need to handle this quickly, we've no room for error." "There is no telling when more of those fuel tanks will explode." "So, wait for my signal." "Katy, status report!" "Large water source located 2 miles due north" " of emergency scene, Captain." " Great." "Water Bird, do your thing, big fella." "Okay, Captain." "Sky Force, let's move in." "Oh no!" "I'm trapped!" "I'm trapped!" "Oh no!" "Help me!" "Help!" "Sky Force, arrow head formation." "It's gotta be fine." "I got this, Captain." "Ace, you're part of a team." "Stay in formation." "Fred, what's going on down there?" "Ace, slow it down buddy." "I can't hear the Captain's orders?" "Do not worry, Fred." "We are first on the scene every time." "We gotta get in there before that thing blows." "Ace, your reckless behaviour is going to get someone hurt." "Ready, Ace?" "Let's do this!" "Let's do what we do best" " and clean up this mess." " Hold on, friend!" "Sky Force is here!" "Whoo-hoo!" "Somebody tell my little Cessna I love her." "Water Bird, how long until the drop?" "Not long now." "Talk to me, buddy." "How are we doing in there?" "Whoo." "It's heaty." "Trying to find a victim." "He should be somewhere around here." "I love my job!" "Yeah!" "Whoo!" "Yeah!" "I can feel my fuel boiling." "Fred, grasp whatever water you have." "You gonna need some sunblock from me, fire." "Target located." "He is trapped." "Come on!" "Captain, I found the victim." "I'm topping him up with more fuel, but he is stuck." "Where is Water Bird with that drop?" "Thank you, it was hard to breathe." "Don't worry, Sky Force will get you out of here." "I'm slicing open this tin can." "My wing went through nothing!" "Loader, get in there." "Water Bird, where are you?" "On my way." "Charger, hurry, hurry." "Hold him up." "Come on, don't scratch him." "Easy." "You're gonna be okay." "Alright, easy." "Watch out for it!" "Good, good job." "Ace, pull out your safety rope." "I need to get out of here." "Oh, and guess what." "My boots are burning." "Come on, buddy!" "No!" "Okay to put you out!" "Here we go!" " Oh, yeah!" " Good job, team!" "Nicely done, Fred." "If you thought that was hot, check this out." "Oh, yeah!" "Be careful, I'm almost too hot to handle." " It's all about the team." " Ouch!" "You are too hot to handle!" "Sorry about that." " Woo hoo." "Great job!" " Thank you, guys!" "Thank you." "Alright, ladies and gentlemen," " autographs over here and ..." " Come on." "We got to go, buddy." "Thank you." "Can you autograph my wings?" "Me too." "Autograph your wings?" "Come on." "We're just happy to help." "Sign your wings?" "That should do it?" "Come on, let's go, hero." "Hey, don't laugh at me." "They want your autograph too, Fred." "Oh, Ace, you're so dreamy!" "You're my hero!" "Hey, do you think Captain Hawk will be loving our performance today or what?" "Sure, we were great." "Thirsting again?" "Well done, hotshot." "I know, that was quite a ride, huh?" "Yeah, quite a ride." "I loving my new tan." "A well deserved tan, partner." "You too." "Couple of mammoths." "One never listens, one never stops." "Hmm." "What a pair!" "Fred and Ace." "First place!" "I need to speak with you, Ace." "Yes, Captain." "Ace, can you tell me what went wrong during the mission?" "What went wrong?" "We saved that plane in a nick of time no less." "The more dangerous the mission, the more you have to work with the team." "Teamwork is crucial." "Understand?" "Yes, sir." "You two have talent, and I don't want that all to go to waste because of some sloppy decision making." "Sloppy decisions making?" "Captain, if you have some advice for me, I'm all ears." "The most important thing to do as captain, is to make sure his teammates are safe." "That is the basis of all of my decision making." "Then I guess I better smarten up." "I just want to follow in your footsteps one day, Captain." "Well, don't put ambition before the team, Ace." "I was the same as you when I first joined Sky Force." "But then, after a couple of close calls, I finally realized that if you don't make sure your teammates are safe, then how can you expect to rescue others?" "We have an emergency, Sky Force." "Matter is there's a mass of oil depots all on fire." "Fire is 12 miles across with most of the oil tanks burning." "We have classed this at Level 7 and at least 2 other planes are trapped without fuel." "Rescue teams, please get to the scene as soon as possible." "Control Tower, Sky Force would need to refuel at the base before heading to location." "Over." "Do not delay, Captain Hawk." "Ace, stay in formation." "Captain, Ace, dispatch indicates that the other two teams cannot make it in time." "Fred, talk to me." "That sounds so familiar." "Am I right, little buddy?" "Yes" "That's always been our local fueling depot." "We've been topping off there for years." "Not to mention our friends and family." "What are we gonna do?" "Captain, listen." "I know those planes." "If they're still down there, they must be out of fuel." "I have to try." "Ace, come back." "We don't have a plan." "I assure you, I have enough fuel." "My friends are down there." "Back to base !" "That's an order!" "Over!" "I'm going in." "Ace, wait." "It's too hot down there." "We are Sky Force, and there are lives to save." "That's more important than orders." "Captain, we are getting close to the oil depot." "I think we'll try." "Well said, Fred." "We're on it!" "I'm going to get a closer look and figure out what we're dealing with here." "Captain, I'm getting really scary readings." "And there are fireballs igniting all over the place." "Be careful." "Ace, hold on right now!" "That is an order!" "There's no time to waste!" "We've got too many planes to save." "Without fuel, they're sitting ducks." "I'm going in." "We are Sky Force." "We have to try." "Saving lives is a priority." "Captain, I see them!" "Watch out!" "I can't pull up, my engine's gone!" "Ace, pull up." "Ace, do something." "Ace!" "We're stalling!" "I am already at full power!" "It's no use!" "Ace, push your engine harder!" "I'm trying!" "Captain, pull up." "It's too dangerous." "Ace, don't give up!" "You can do this!" "Come on!" " Oh, come on!" " I can't." "Captain, Ace, you're both too low." " Pull up!" " No way, kid!" " Pull up!" " You're coming with me!" "Captain, we're not going to make it!" "Hold on!" "We will make it!" "Captain!" "Ace!" "No!" "This just in." "There has been a major explosion at the Mount Eastern's oil depot." "The damage is catastrophic." "Rescuers are working frantically to put out the flames." "Well, that seems this one and the robot are saveable." "Let's get to work." "Okay, let's just do a couple of adjustment on your vents and put in some new titanium screws just for good measure." "Captain!" "I can't make it!" "Captain!" "No!" "No!" "Ace?" "Talk to me." "Fred?" "We made it?" "Yeah, I know." "A lot of close that time, wouldn't you say, Ace?" " Glad to see you, buddy." " Glad to see you too." "How is Captain Hawk?" "Did he ... ?" "No." " He was too badly damaged." " Oh, Fred!" "It's all my fault." "Listen, I'm sure they did everything they could." " It's not our fault." " Our fault?" "Fred, it's my fault." "This whole thing is my fault." "If I wasn't so..." "We salute you two from Sky Force." "Please rejoin your rightful place amongst the heroes in our skies." "We will make you proud." "We promise." "Thank you everyone." "On behalf on both myself and my co-pilot Fred, we are truly grateful." "So I guess we must be going." "So Fred, I think the first order of business is" " finding a new job." " What?" "A new job?" "Aren't we going back to Sky Force?" "You said ... at the hospital, we'd make everyone proud." "Fred, don't even mention Sky Force anymore." "We need a fresh start." "There's a paper back there." "Let's see if there are any job openings." "We need to pay for the fuel." "Okay, Ace Whatever you say." "What do you see?" "Oh, here's one." "Airmail Postal Service." "How hard can that be?" " Yeah, I'm ready!" " Okay, Ace!" "I'm almost ready." "Give me a minute." "You, you know, I'm going to rock n' roll!" "Okay, AM One." "Gear it up." " Alright, ready to go." " I'm going to ace this." "Ace!" "What was that?" "Oh, my!" "You just dropped over a thousand letters." "I'll pick 'em up.." "Fired!" "I guess if they are looking for paper shredders, we'll be the best in the biz." "Oh, next one on the list." "Advertising." "How hard can that be!" "Eat at Joes!" "Fired!" "Oh, yeah, yeah, I held this side upside down." "Who knew people can't read upside down?" "I sure didn't." "Oh, cool!" "Crop dusting!" "Sounds perfect!" "Ahh, a thing of beauty!" "Thanks for giving us a chance to crop your dust." "I mean, dust your crops." "Listen, you two are cheap but I expect quality work." "Oh, don't worry!" "Ace can dust any crop, anytime, anywhere." "He loves dust." "Whoo-hoo!" "Watch." "Fred and Ace first place." "What's all the funny stuff in my face?" "Are you kidding me?" "Yeah, we're not really farmers." "Fired!" "Yeah, we're pretty horrible at this employment thing." "We should just go back to Sky Fo....." " Ahhh." " Yeah?" "Never mind." "Well the last one here says:" ""Loader at the mine wanted"" "Oh, the mines?" "Oh, okay." "Look Fred, I do not care what anyone else says," "I think we should try out the Mines." "Ace, that sounds really dangerous." "Isn't there that old saying:" "That's not where planes go to fly, but where they go to die?" "That job is awful." "It'll be fine." "Let's go check it out." "Get to work!" "Move away from here!" "Welcome newbies." "I'm Mr. Stanway." "This job is pretty straight forward." "I'm sure you'll like it." "A plane with cargo is a happy plane." "And a busy mine makes me a happy boss." "Ah, newbies?" "Yes, we call all our new recruits newbies." "Until they could prove themselves." "And you have two weeks to prove yourselves." "Ahh, what do we do?" "Collect the cargo to your plane, take the shipment from one end of the mine to the other end to the mine." "Simple." "So, good luck." " Wow, sounds fun!" " Really exciting!" "Come on, Fred." "Doesn't look too bad." "Let's just do our best and I'm sure it will all work out." "Ah, this seems pretty dangerous." "Can we handle this?" "Alright Fred, here we go." "Man, this is heavy!" "Oh, this is really heavy!" "Here we go!" "It's so heavy!" "Here we go!" "Oww!" "Okay." "If you think you can handle weight, then good for you." "My work is done." "I'm going to take a nap." "Wake me when you get there." "I'm turning back." "I just can't stabilize." "I'm so sorry." "I can't lift it." "I needed to land or I'll crash." "What are you doing?" "Stop it!" " Stop it!" "Stop!" " Whoa, whoa!" "Are you an idiot?" "Fred, come up and help me undo this load." " Are we there already?" " Come on, quickly." "Other planes are landing." "You like this job so much, do you?" "Then you do it yourself." "Good luck." "What do you mean, do it myself?" "My grandmother can lift that." "Mine too." "These newbies gonna work on this whole operation." "I'm having an off day." "I'm sorry, I'm just tired, I guess." "Ah, my grandmother and kid sister could lift that." "Listen Newbie, you better be more careful." "This runway is short enough." "We can't have planes parking in here, because you can't do your job." "Move it!" "You're not built for this!" "I told you this job isn't for you." " Let's quit." " I'll get the hang of it, Fred." "We need this job." "How am I gonna pay for fuel?" "Let's try again." "Oh, that was totally embarrassing." "Did you hear about that guy and his grandmother?" "I'm outta here." "I gotta oil my wheel or something." "Hey Newbie." "Get over here." "I'll take a little rest to get ready for my next load." "Rest?" "Yeah, sure you can take a rest" " in the boss's office." " Boss's office?" "Yeah, he wants to talk to you two jokers about why you've been screwing up the line and slowing down the line." "Ridiculous!" "I ask you to do such a simple task, and you still mess up." "Why are you so useless?" "I'm not useless." "I'm just a little slow." "My momma always said I was a ..." "Be quiet!" "You're fired!" "Oh, well then." "I guess I'll go pick up all my belongings." "No need to pick them up." "You are out of here!" "Next, Ace" "Ah..." "Hello" "Be quiet." "What do you think of your performance here at the mine?" "Ah, not too bad." "I'm a little slow at times, I suppose." "But I'm getting there." "A little slow?" "I know planes with one wing that could fly faster than you." "Look at what you did just two days ago." "Yesterday." "And then, this morning." "Horrible!" "I'm sorry, manager." "I promise..." "You have been doing this job for two weeks." "I guess you don't want to pass the probation period, do you?" "I do, sir." "I really do." "I wanna keep this job." "I'll work nights, weekends and holidays to keep up." "You don't have to pay me for overtime." "Just hard work for me." "No overtime?" "I like that." "I like your attitude." "Glad you see things my way." "Boss, I won't let you down." "Thank you." "This should help you." "Read this training manual again and live by it." "You get one more chance, Newbie!" "Just one more!" "Phew, luckily the manager will give me another chance, otherwise we'd be unemployed." "Huh, really?" "No big deal!" "If we get fired, then we'll just go find another job." "Fred, our last job hunt went horribly." "I'm not going through that again." "So, come on, pal." "Let's get back to work." "No need for a job hunt now." "This job is so boring." "It's not good for either of us." "Trust me." "I guess you just don't see it my way." "See it your way?" "We used to go ..." "We used to go ..." "Listen, Fred, that was the past." "I can't think about that now." "I promised the Boss I would get us back on track." "So we better hurry, so we don't miss the next one." "Back in line for some more fun." "Fred, behind you!" "Who in the world bumped me?" " That really hurt, Jeez!" " Oh, my..." "Ouch!" "This helmet is useless." "That really hurt." "Hey, watch it back there?" "Don't be so clumsy." "Jack, look who it is." "The Newbies." "Oh, great!" "I heard all about these two." "You bumped into my bloke Cattle with no apology?" "Who do you think you are?" "Ha, seriously?" "Who bumped into who?" "I'm sorry, it's my friend bad." "He didn't mean it." "He's tired from all this loading and unloading." "So he accidentally bumped into you." "No big deal." "We're really sorry, sir." "Hey, Newbie, haven't you heard?" "We don't tolerate slow planes." "Neither does the boss." "Cattle, don't be so quick to judge." "In our last job, we were always first." "Never slow." "Fred, enough about that." "Cattle, you're right." "We better pick up our pace." "I'm the captain of the Bulls team." "You two should show more respect." "Oh no, we didn't mean to disrespect you." "We just want to help." "It's like get back on track." "You know how it is." "Cattle, allow me." "Oh, we know how to teach newbies how to get back on track." "Trust me, we have our ways." "Don't we Cattle?" "Cattle, don't pick on the newbies." "Look, as our team-leader, you need how to show 'em how it's done Cattle style, okay." "I'll see you later newbie." "Jack, let's get it done." "Cattle style." "You better watch it, unicycle." "Who are you calling unicycle?" "Ace, this is the worst." "You tried your best." "It's not like you're a cargo plane or a freight plane." "You are a rescue plane." "How can you stand this?" "Well, as far as I'm concerned, I just need to log some miles." "You know, get better as I go." "I'm not really that slow." "And Fred, it's enough about of our past." "I'm not interested in sharing stories with these guys." "Okay?" "This is ridiculous." "I got people bumping into me." "And I got, either Fred do this, Fred do that." "I'll show 'em." "I can do this." "I can do this." "I can... ahhh..." "I can lift it!" "Alright." "See, Fred, I knew we could do this." "Hi, I'm Sporter." "You are stronger than my grandma." "Thanks." "Oh, the freight loads were so heavy today." "I'm so tired." "My body feels like it's falling apart." "Why don't we get home and have a good night's sleep." "Sleep?" "I haven't sleep for ages." "This job is totally boring." "Okay, Fred, I'm not in the mood." "Can we talk about this in the morning?" "No, Ace, I want to talk now!" "I don't want to do this anymore." "I've put in my 2 weeks notice" " and I am leaving." " What?" "You did what?" "Oh, Fred, is it because of what happened with Cattle?" "No, it's not Cattle." "It's you!" "You've changed Ace." "You used to be fearless and brave and one of the greats." "But look at you now." "You're scared." "Worried about upsetting everyone." "I just wanted a change, Fred." "Sky Force is too painful a memory." "I moved on, okay?" "Have you forgotten our promise to each other back in our training days?" "We said we would always have each others backs, no matter what." "Can you stop talking about Sky Force?" "I can't save anyone anymore." "I only bring harm to others." "Ace, you have to understand it was only an accident back at the oil plant." "If you choose to give up now, then Captain Hawk's sacrifice means nothing." "Let's go back to Sky Force." "That's where Ace and Fred belong." "I. .." "I... it's my life." "It's none of your business." "What?" "None of my business?" "None of my..." "I'm filling your gasoline, cleaning ... to tuning you up ..." "You are all my business, Ace." "I can do all those things myself." "I don't need you." "Oh!" "Oh, that's just great." "Then I guess there's no need for me to be here." "The Company has arranged for me to copilot a new plane, if I want to." "2 weeks and then I'm free of you and this awful place." "Goodbye, Newbie." "You'll never catch me, Kappa." "You're too slow." "Not so fast." "I got you now." "Really?" "We'll see about that." "Bullying." "Tonight police chased a suspect in our peaceful skies above." "And it seems that Bully has successfully gotten away onceagainwithstealingover $10,000 in air miles points." "Police are no closer tonight in bringing this flying menace to justice." "If you have seen him or have any information on Wing Tip's whereabouts please call "Crime Stoppers"." "Yeah, yeah, back to the game." "I hate reality TV shows." "Sporter, thanks for taking me on, dude." "Not only are you a really cool plane, you are also a Rivers fan." "Hey, that's my move?" "No." "That's my move." "Good move, Johnson!" "Yeah, yeah." "Ha ha." "Can you not trash my blade, please?" "Look." " Beautiful shot!" " Nice shot!" "I can't believe you're a fan of the Rivers, too." "The Rivers are the best." "They play awesomely well together." "Plus they have Johnson, the greatest three-point shooter, making them the ultimate team." " Is Ace a Rivers fan, Fred?" " Of course." "So why don't you ask him to come over and we can watch the game together?" "No, he's still working plus he wouldn't be in the mood" " to watch the game." " Did you two have a fight?" "It was a shocking to me that you asked the boss to substitute for Jill during her vacation." "Well, I've only got two weeks left." "... So hey, why not?" "Is that's Fred?" "Rivers game?" "Oh .." "Oh!" " There's 30 seconds left on the clock." " Come on." " Come on Rivers!" " And they have the ball now." " Come on, Rivers!" " Go!" "Another move to Johnson." " Yeah!" " We won!" "Sporter, we won." "I am so happy." "I'm not sad at all." "I'm happy we won." "I don't miss anyone." "Is Ace upset because Cattle always picks on him?" "Cattle's not the problem." "It is because of an accident." "We lost our captain a while back." "Ace places all the guilt on to himself." "He really hides his true self from others now." " Ah!" "Uh!" "Ahh!" " Oh!" "In the end, he chose to leave Sky Force." "We've be moving between jobs up until now, but he still won't let go." "He rejects help from others and I don't wanna deal with him anymore." "So I asked to be transferred." "And now I'm with you." "And my boss allowed me to transfer ... but because of the shortage of workers," "I guess I'd better watch over Ace, too." "Wow, what a mess!" "Oh, poor you!" "Well, I'm sure he'll be fine without me." "He told me he would be." " Oh, I love this song." " Me too." "I love it." "I love this stuff!" "I haven't felt this good in ages." "I so needed this." "Ace, is that really you?" "I thought you and Fred were lost in the crash." "Where have you been?" "This is unbelievable." "You know... around." "I work in the mine." "You're alive and you didn't tell Sky Force?" "What about the team?" "Well, let's just say I've decided to get out of the rescue business." "If you were the same Ace I used to know, you'll be back on Sky Force." "Newbie..." " Get up!" " What?" "I go by "Newbie" now." "Oh, I see." "Where is Fred?" "He's not with you?" "No, just me." "Uhm, you two were inseparable." "I guess things really have changed." "Yes, you're right about Fred and I." "I guess he still hasn't forgiven me for quitting Sky Force." "It's one thing not to be on Sky Force, but quite another to lose a best friend." "How do you think I feel?" "I've lost all of you." "Listen Katy, I'm sorry." "Sorry about everything." "I really got to get back to the mine." "My boss is a real tool." "Thanks for the talk, though." "And say "Hi" to the old team for me." "Well, Newbie, think about what I said." "Ace was always a great member of Sky Force." "Accidents happen." "It comes with the territory." "And if you see the Ace .." "tell him I say "Hi"." "Fred?" "Fred, I'm home." "Oh, man!" "Hey, Fred, where did you place my tire pumper?" "Fred?" "Fred?" "Oh!" "Oh, yeah, right." "What's this?" "Captain Hawk!" "Katy!" "Loader!" "Water Bird!" "The whole team!" "Katy, you know, maybe you're right." "Maybe this doesn't make sense." "This whole world doesn't make any sense." "Heard the latest weather reports?" "A huge storm may be heading these parts soon." "Really?" "No, I haven't heard." "Between these little newbies and the weather, how will we ever make quota." "The boss is as furious as he can be." "I know, it keeps getting worse around here." "I heard even Cattle can't make the quota." "Oh, look, there is slow Newbie number one now." "He, he, he, slow Newbie wearing red." "Yeah, and what's with that paint job?" "Hey, Cattle, the manager is complaining that we're not making our quota and the Newbie isn't helping at all." " Do you have any plans?" " Calm down, I got a plan." "As shift leader, it's my job to figure it out." "Hey, Newbie, hurry up!" "Stop being a slow poke." "Yes, sir." "Look at that, Jack." "All I need to do is give him some orders and he does as I tell him." "Come on, with some muscle power and hard work we'll meet our quota once again." "I guarantee it." "Let's double our loads." "We'll carry twice the weight from now on." "Extra cargo each time?" "Won't he be overloaded?" "Are you sure?" "Look how strong I am." "It won't be a problem." "Come on, if we were fast enough, we might make one more turn than usual." "Got it." "The two loads are ready." "Let's get going, big guy." "Uh, cry me." "Ahh, I'm all soul!" "Alright, rock and roll!" "Yeah!" "Cattle, why are we flying Cotide cavern?" "It's dangerous in there." "It'll be all right." "This route is the shortest." "We can arrive faster." "What?" "Why is Cattle flying through that cavern?" "Porter , Cattle changed his flight route." "Uh, I guess we better follow him." "Okay." "Cattle, I don't like what I'm seeing here." "My readings show heavy turbulence up ahead." "It'll be all right, this route is shortest." "Can we just change our flight back?" "Come on, big guy." "We can arrive faster." "Roger that." "Yo Cattle, here comes the turbulence." "Alright, Newbie, keep right, straighten out." "Good." "Move forward, straighten out." "I told you we could do it." "See Jack, we'll see to it these newbies make the run." "All in time, turbulence or not." "You're the best, Cattle." "I'm sorry for doubting you, anyway." "What!" "What!" "Well, I don't like the sound of that." "It's like a morning breeze." "We can walk through this." "What happened, Jack?" "Oh, Cattle!" "Oh Cattle, we're coming." "Hold on." "Jack, what's really going on?" "Jack!" "Jack!" "Come in, Jack!" "Newbie, Jack seems unconscious." "All my controls are not functioning." "This is not looking good." "Cattle, drop your cargo." "It's not worth it." "I'm trying, but something is wrong." "I've malfunctioned!" "Yeah, working hard at it!" " Jack?" " I think Jack's unconscious." "I'm going into a tailspin." "Jack, I can't make it." "Then, this is it for me!" "Ace, tell my little Cessna I love her." "Not on my watch!" "Hold on, Cattle!" "I'm coming!" "Hold, Cattle!" "I'm coming." "Cattle, Cattle, listen to me." "Quickly loosen all your hooks and drop your cargo load." "No, no." "I can't do it." "I can't stabilize." "It's gonna leave a mark." "I can't stop this tail spin." "Cattle's control system must have malfunctioned." "Jack, where are you?" "Here." "Okay." "I've got you." " Oh man." " Have you gained weight?" "We can do this, buddy." "Fred, are you and Sporter close?" " Fred?" " Ace, we're coming." "Hold on." "Sporter, Ace needs your help." "I'm letting go of our cargo." "Try to close the distance between Ace and Cattle." "This is Fred to base." "I repeat, Fred to base." "We have a situation here, Cattle is in trouble." "We have to drop our loads and rescue him, over." "What?" "You can't do it." "Save the cargo and you will be a hero in my books." "What?" "I'm sorry, I'm losing the signal." "Er, bad connection." "Sporter, we got to do it." "You got it, Fred." "Cattle, you're losing altitude." "Oh, help me!" "You know, you really got to get on a diet, Cattle." "Okay, we got this." "We got this bunny." "Sporter, is there any other way that we can release all his cargo?" "There is a manual release lever on the tail." "I can't make it ..." "Oh, come, don't give up!" "We'll think of a plan." "I'm coming in!" "Just hold them a little longer, Ace." "I gotcha." "Ace, I'll try to get to the emergency release lever on Cattle's tail." "Maybe that will work." "Good, then we got to move." "There's not much time." "My life is in your hands." "Did you find it?" "Okay, I'm going for it." "Wish me luck." "Be careful, Fred!" "No, no, no!" "Not this again!" "Fred, be careful." "Do not worry." "I live for this, remember?" "Hold on back there, little guy." "Ace, I see the manual release lever." "It's not far ... now." "Be careful." "This is it for me." " Got to do it, buddy!" " Okay, Ace." "Here we go." "Fred?" "Oh, no!" "Guys, that was so awesome!" " That was so much fun." " We did it!" "Good job, Fred." "Fred?" "Ouch!" "Ah, Fred!" "Fred, you scared me, man." "Woo-hoo!" "Hey, good job." "Thanks New ... ah." "I mean, thanks for rescuing me." "You too, Fred." "I haven't had my bolster out of like that a long time." "Great, great!" "Thank you very much." "Well done everyone." "I think we should go back to the loading dock and check on Jack to see if he is okay." "Look everyone, they made it!" "Hey, we're okay." "We made it!" "Good job, guys." "Pleased to see you all guys in one piece." "Thank you, Ace and Fred." "I mean it." "Oh, it was nothing." "Glad you're okay." "Please, meet us in the air show later." "Let's go to have some fun." "I owe you both." "That was amazing!" "I can't believe we did it." "Hey, you were flying on the left, and I was over on the right, we criss-crossed and then I thought." ""There's no way we gonna do this"" "And you're like:" ""No, Fred, we're gonna do it."" "And I was like: "Are you kidding me?" " Are you kidding, Ace with this?" "You're doing the upside down thing and I was over here ..." " Be quiet." " Oh, hey." " Boss, we were just ..." " You be quiet too." "Newbie, you've lost all my cargo." "It was a total loss." "If you do it again, you're all fired." "Don't just stand there." "Get back to work" "All of you, back to work !" "Oh!" "What?" "Oh, good keech!" "Oh ho, my hat." "So Ace, what do you think about me changing my paint job to be as colorful as this place." "Might be cool." "God no." "Not a good look, Fred" "A little too flashy." "Okay team." "Focus, go!" "Ah, this game is impossible!" "Yeah, I keep telling you to hit the bulls eye." "Maybe you can try a six, Sir?" "I've been throwing 200 times." "It's fixed." "I'm leaving." "Here we go!" "Well done!" "Here is your prize." "Good job!" "Wait until the other boy scouts see this." "This is incredible!" "Who's next?" "Your brother?" "Fred, look at the size of that prize." "Ace, did you know that I have got some sweet, sweet skills?" "Watch this!" "Alright, hold it ... concentrate... ready, boom!" "Uh, sorry." "What's wrong with this thing?" "Hey, what are you doing?" "I got to focus." "Like a boy scout making fire." "Got to keep it loose, got to stay in the zone." "Well, keep that thing away from me, Boy Scout." "Yes, this time I've got it for sure." "Don't worry, Ace." "I live for this." " Ready, aim ..." " Ta da da." "Pull over." "Right!" "Fire!" "No!" "Not me again!" "Wonderful." "Can I play?" "Thank you, guys so much for coming." " Glad to be here." " Yeah, it was amazing." "You guys saved me, I feel totally fine." "I can still work and keep leading the team." "That's great, Cattle." "We're just glad to help." " Pretty exciting stuff." " Oh yeah, yeah." "Look, the show is starting." "The best smash mob ever!" "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show." "Wow!" "That formation seem like Captain Hawk's pattern." "Don't you think?" "Yeah, it does look like Captain Hawk's arrow head formation." "Cattle, I'm pretty sure Ace used this formation to save you." "Oh, Really?" "I wasn't the only one, Sporter and Fred helped out too." "Well anyhow, I have you all to thank." "If it weren't for you guys, I'd be lying at the bottom of the cavern crying out for my mummy." "Uhm, I haven't talked to my mummy in a while." "Maybe I should give her a call." "Ace, after the show, I have something that I'd like you to see." "Yeah, sure, buddy." "Well, there it is, our past." "Why did you bring me here?" "Back then, no matter what we encountered, we were always determined." "I shouldn't have left you when you needed encouragement from me." "But I'm back now." "Fred, you don't understand ..." "Remember what Captain Hawk said?" ""We don't give up on anyone." "No matter if they are the victims, or our teammates."" "Fred, it's not the same." "I am afraid now." "Ace, have you given up on yourself?" "I haven't." "I'm here to help you." "You got to face your fears." "You used to fly right into danger with no fear." "And you can do it again." "We've prepared a little something for you." "Down there to help you get back to your old self." "Fred, you're right." "Let's go down there and take a look." "Oh, good." "That's a start." "Let's go together." "Alright, guys." "Everything is ready." "They should be here soon." "Wow, looks great and scary!" "Do you think Ace will fly through it?" "He's got to be pretty brave." "That's the point." "Face his fears." "I think Fred knows what he's doing." "Ace will be fine." "I hope so, or he is barbecue." "Fred, this might not have been such a good idea." "Coming back here is bringing back some painful memories." "I know, buddy." "It's hard." "Do you remember back at Sky Force Academy how students used to overcome their fear of fire?" "Not sure if I do." "It was mind over matter." "As long as you went through the flames fast enough and didn't stop we wouldn't get burned." "I remember." "We were so afraid for nothing." " Thanks, Fred." " Glad you remember." "Now let's try living that way." " Okay, buddy?" " Alright." "We're almost there?" "Yup, here we are." " Here they come!" " Woo-hoo!" "Yeah." "That's what we prepared for you." "Let's go for it." "The gang's all here!" "Cattle, Jack, Sporter." "Thanks, guys." "I'm going in." "Captain, Ace, you are both too low." "Pull up, pull up!" "Captain, I can't do this!" "Oh, he was so close." " Oh!" " Uh!" "Captain, I'm so sorry." "It was all my fault." "Hey Fred, I can't do this." "Ace." "This is your Captain speaking." "Captain?" "Listen to me, Ace." "Believe in yourself." "You can do this." "You have the right stuff." "Believe in myself?" "I haven't believed in myself for a long time." "Oh, who are you talking to?" "Maybe we should come back tomorrow." "No, Fred, we're doing this now." "In life, you have to keep moving forward." "Just believe in myself." " Oh!" " Oh!" "Come on, Ace!" "Believe, believe, believe, believe." "It's your time." "Ahh." "Whoa." "Wow!" "Wow!" "We did it, buddy!" "Yeah!" "Fred and Ace, first place." "Fred, thanks for sticking with me." "I couldn't have done it without you." "Ace, I'm proud of you." "I always was." "Just believe in yourself and take care of the team, and the rest will come naturally." "Thank you, Captain." "What was that, Newbie?" "I didn't catch it." "I said "thank you"." "Call me "Ace"." "Yeah." "Whoo who whoo!" "Guess they're gone." "Yeah... that was a little awkward." "Um, can I go next?" "Snow in summer?" "What else could go wrong?" "What did I ever do to deserve this?" "Here, Mr. Stanway." "You got a call from the upper mine." "Gimme that." "Stanway speaking." "Sir, situation up here is getting worse by the second." "Visibility will be gone soon." "I'm sorry, but I think you've mistaken me for someone who cares." "Maybe it'll be fun, to get a bit like flying in a winter wonderland." "So finish the job, Cattle!" "But sir, we can't stay here overnight." "I have to start sending the planes down now before it's too unsafe." "Safe?" "I don't care if it's safe." "I care about the profits!" "Listen, anyone who flies down here without their load, can fly right into my office and collect their pink slip." "He will be fired!" "You're unbelievable!" "We can't stay here anymore." "We're going." "It seems this is the biggest snowstorm recorded in the past 70 years." "The snowfall coming in from the north has reached blizzard levels." "Most of the surrounding area has been warned." "Some mountain areas appear to have had avalanches." "It has been suggested that no one go outside until the killer storm leaves the affected area." "I'm getting cold just looking at this." "Check this out, Fred." "Wow, the biggest snowstorm in the past 70 years?" "70 years?" "Are you serious?" "Oh, man, this is awful." "Nothing will help us get out of here." "Now, let's go talk to the boss." "I'm sure he'll let us go early." "After all, we did save Cattle." "Geez, hope he doesn't make us pay for all the cargo we lost during the rescue." "Someone could have died." "Alright, listen up." "Because of this horrible weather we're ending the day now." "Flying back to town ain't gonna be an easy task." "First, line up." "Then we'll take off one by one." "Got that?" "Follow me." "Let's use the buddy system." "Everybody drop your cargo and line up." "Now I will stay here until everyone has taken off and the last door is locked." "Alright, everyone." "Move along in an orderly fashion." "Everyone turn around." "Okay, everyone back to mine." "Hurry, let's go." "Jack, Joe, it's too dangerous here." "Hurry up and lead the others back to the gate." " Okay, will do, Cattle!" " Come on, go!" "Oh, no!" "Someone's trapped." "Help!" "Help me!" "I'm a goner." "I've gotta go rescue him." "Sporter, you are in charge of ..." "Sporter." "Sporter!" "Sporter, get back here!" "It's too dangerous!" "Sportsman, what are you doing?" "Excuse me, pardon me." "Watch out everyone!" "Back inside!" "Keep moving back to the mine." "Keep safe, everyone." "I'm on a mission." "Sporter to the rescue!" "I got cha!" "I got you." "Whoa, where are you?" "I am still falling!" "Hold on, buddy." "I'll help you." "Hang on over there." "Cattle, thank you." "But Sporter." "He... he..." "I'll take charge." "Head back to the gate." "Hold on Sporter." "Sporter, can you hear me?" "Oh, this is starting to give way." "No, no!" "No, I need to go back." "Sorry, buddy." "No!" "Jack, hurry." "Close the gate!" "Oh, no!" "Hold on, I'm coming." "Hold the gate." "I'm coming!" "I'm coming!" "Cattle!" "Hurry up!" "Cattle, hurry up!" "Come on." "What was that noise?" "I don't know, but I can't wait to get out of here." "I'm not going to miss this place." "Yeah, let's go and say goodbye to everyone." "Good idea." "Wow!" "A winter storm in the summer?" "Ah, unbelievable!" "Let's go talk to Mr. Stanway and see how everyone is doing." "Yeah, I guess we should." "This place is cursed." "I hope nobody is working in this weather." "Who's throwing things again?" "I'm not going to lose my hat." "This will fix it." "Oh, hold the door!" "Oh, look who it is." "Newbie." "Boss, you better order all the planes back." "Oh, I'll order them back, once they have their cargo." "But the storm is huge." "Don't you care about them?" "They're going to get trapped out there." "Hmm, I care about this company and its cargoes." "Workers are replaceable?" "Sir, we have a report of a major avalanche situation and radio system seems to be broken." "Really?" "Then I'll go and see what is happening." "No, no, no, we have a report of a major lack of delivery situation." "Got it?" "Now, stay here and finish your job." "Finish my job?" "Do you understand what's going on?" "Their lives are at risk." "Someone's got to save them." "And it's going to be me." " So I quit!" " Huh, quit?" "I heard you're a quitter." "I heard about the Sky Force." "And how you killed your last boss." "So please, don't kill me." "Ha, I won't kill you." "Trust me." "But I'll give you back some of the fuel." "I'm sure I owe you." "Oh, and don't forget the training manual you gave us." "Come on Fred, we got lives to save." "Alright!" "Why does everyone keep throwing things at me?" "Did you guys see that?" "No, no... no!" "Please hurry guys, help our friends up there." " Uh Ace, do we have a plan?" " I've got you." "Now I guess we'll have to wing it." "But Captain Hawk always had a plan." "Are you sure?" "Uhm, you're right, he did." "Our rescue might be impossible in this awful weather." "Yeah, you're right." "This is the biggest blizzard of the last 70 years" "We need help." "Team work is crucial." "Fred, turn on the the radio frequency to the Sky Force's channel." "You got it, Ace" "We need the best team there is, our team:" "Loader, Katy and Water Bird." "Ace, I'm not sure I'm getting through." "I keep sending the signal, but there's no way to know if they are getting this." "They'll get it, Fred." "I have faith." "They'll hear our call." "So let's do this, partner." "We can do this, Fred." "Yes, we can." "All clear." "Good luck, guys." "Hmm!" "Oh, no!" "What happened?" "Oh, my goodness!" "Look at this place." "This..." "This... this is horrible." "Joe, Joe, wake up." "Wake up, Joe." "What?" "Joe, look at this." " Trapped, all of us." " I know." "Hold on, Fred." "Ace, be careful." "This wind is really strong." "We got to move fast." "Huh, look, there it is!" "It's worse than I thought." "We got to get down there, Fred." "Our friends need help." "Whoa!" "That was close." "Anybody here?" "Hey!" "Anyone?" "Hello?" "Ace, watch out, this place is falling apart." "Are you okay, buddy?" "The situation is getting worse by the second." " We got to move quickly." " We can do it, partner." "Let's go!" "Hello, anybody?" "Hello, anyone?" "Is anyone there?" "Hello?" "Here, let me help you." "Joe, these robots are gonna need clean oxygen and fuel." "Okay, I will." "How are we getting out of here?" " Can we be saved?" " I don't know." "Look at these readings." "We're losing oxygen and the temperature is dropping." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Is there anybody out there?" "We've come to help you." "Huh?" "Oh!" "Cattle?" "Is that you, big guy?" "Hold on!" "Hold on, I'll help you." "Wake up!" "Wake up, Cattle!" "Hold on!" "Ace!" "Ace, come over here!" " What happened to him?" " Cattle's trapped." "Cattle!" "Cattle, wake up!" "Don't leave me, buddy!" "Wake up!" "Cattle, you can't sleep." "You'll freeze to death." "Wake up!" "Cattle!" "Cattle!" "Cattle, come on Cattle!" "Wake up, buddy!" "Hold on, big guy." "We'll try to get you out of here." "Come on, big guy!" "Cattle!" "Uhm ?" "Oh!" "Ace?" "Hey, we're trying to get you out." "Forget about me." "They are all trapped inside." "You do what you have to save them." "Ace, you gotta blow up the gate." "Only you can save us." "You're a big fella." "How did you get stuck anyway?" " C'mon, Cattle!" " Ace, Cattle won't make it." "What should we do?" "We need Sky Force to help." "They... they're here!" "Yes, they're here!" "I knew they would come." "Woo-hoo!" "Sky Force is here." "Sky Force heard your call." "Loader, everyone be quick." "Cattle need to go to the hospital immediately." "Ace , we can't land with these high winds." "And that runway is pretty much destroyed." "All of that snow could give way at any second." "We may have an avalanche on our hands, team." "No, we gotta get out of here!" "This is horrible." "We're gonna freeze to death." "Hold it together, fella." "I'm sure someone knows that we're trapped." "And must be coming soon." "Don't lose hope." "Okay, done!" "All good now, Cattle." "It's time." "Loader, get him out of here!" "Loader, go now." "Easy, easy, watch him." "Watch him!" "Good, nice and steady." "It's getting so cold." "Hey, what's that noise?" "Everyone, listen to this." "I think help might be here." "I think it's the rescue team!" "No." "Okay, time is running out." "The only way is to blow up the gate." "I'm sorry, Ace." "What did you say?" "I said:" "We need to blow up the gate." "Roger that." "Water Bird, how many explosives do you have?" "I've got one." "The signal is too weak." "We need to make it stronger." "Ace, I can't lock in to your GPS signal." "Well, I've got yours." "Hold on." "It doesn't work." "I can't see your location." "Fred, just try to place the GPS on the ground." "Okay, Water Bird, get ready." "Water Bird, I need you at 300 feet." "You are now 500 feet above the mine." " Okay." " Ace, I can see you now." "The storm is so strong." "Ace, are you sure he can pull this off?" "Fred, I gotta believe Water Bird can do this." "He's our only hope." "Gate 8 explosives ready." "You are at 400 feet." "Start aiming." "300." "You will be at 250 soon." "You are now at 200 feet above the mine." "Confirm target." " We have to launch the device." " I can't aim it" "It's too unstable here." "The wind is too strong." "Water Bird, pull up!" "Watch it, you're going to crash!" "No ...!" "Oh, no!" "What's happening, guys?" "Talk to me." "My left wing is damaged." "It's very seriously damaged." "We must return to headquarters." "Water Bird, the avalanche!" "It's starting to move towards us." "Ace, we don't have time anymore." "You have to drop the bomb." "I'll handle the GPS." "But, do you have enough power to charge the GPS?" "Yes, don't worry." "We don't have time to think." "Ace, please time." "Fred, are you sure you can make it?" "Just go!" "Get out of here!" "Hundreds of lives are depending on us." "Get going." "Oh!" " I hope we can do this." " Ace, I know we can." "Ace, you're now 300 feet below Water Bird." " Reaching 200." " Okay." "Water Bird, open your drum hatches and prepare to transfer the explosives to Ace." "Okay, here they come." "Get ready!" "Ready?" "I'm always ready." " It's your turn, you do it." " My turn?" "It's your turn." "Go!" "A little closer." "I almost got it!" "Great!" "I can't believe that." "Oh, no!" "What's going on?" "We're waiting for the air flow, Water Bird." "It's not right." "What?" "Be careful, guys." "Hang on!" " Are you okay?" " Don't worry about me." "I'm fine." "Kind a like the view." "Come on, buddy." "Come on!" "Just a little bit closer." "Yes!" "Alright, we got to go." "Here we go!" "I'm coming, Fred." "Ace , we don't have time anymore." "You have to drop the bomb." "Ace, I gotta go back and get my wing fixed." "Okay, go, big guy." "Good luck." "Fred, I need a stronger signal." "Fred?" "Fred, when Ace drops the bomb, get out of there as fast as you can and I'll catch you." "Got it." "Oh, oh, wait!" "I've entered the airport area." "Fred, you have to go." "Prepare to launch." "500 feet." " 400 feet." " Hold on." "300 feet." "I gotta get outta here." "200 feet." "100 feet." "Fred, run!" "Fred, get out of there." "Fred?" "Katy, Katy, where's Fred?" "Fred?" "I can't believe it." "Sky Force did it." "Ace?" "Fred?" "Ta ta ta da!" "Sporter to the rescue!" " Ace" " Fred, you made it." "Fred, are you okay?" "I'm okay, Katy." "Thanks for worrying." "I got this." "You know, I can get used to the rescuing business," "I think it's time for a career change." "Fred, we made it." "Woo-hoo!" "Fred, do you think Sky Force has any job opening?" "Sure, but you should find a good copilot first." "Because I'm taken." " Fred and Ace, first place." " Okay, let's go, buddy." "Sky Force, this is the Emergency Center." "We've got a major blaze over at the Bloombird shipping docks." "Respond." "Control Tower, this is Captain Ace." "Sky Force is on its way." "It's minutes away." "Let's go, Sky Force!" "Fred, teamwork is crucial." "We need to work as a team." "Okay, come on, guys." "Let's stay in formation." "Sporter, to the rescue!" "Control Tower, this is Iron Bird Team Captain Ace." "We are moving in."

"# THE SERENDIPITY SINGERS:" "Everybody Loves Saturday Night" "You too can enjoy the celeb-for-a-day experience for only $300 per hour." "Now, you may be thinking that you would not be bewitched by the spell of celebrity, but it is worth noting that all of these people would probably say the same thing." "Hey, paparazzi, ready to go!" "So we're having a hard time." "Can you keep them out, get them arrested?" "Have you guys got a back exit or something?" "Thank you so much." "You saved our lives, thank you, thank you." "If you guys are here again, call me in the office." "Everybody is naturally and powerfully attracted to fame even though most people will deny it."

"This particular agent is, if not the best, one of the top agents in Los Angeles." "Ri-Yan's just very advanced, personally and professionally, for his age, which makes him very attractive for agents, casting directors, and for work on film and TV." "The kid barely reads at the age of five, so it's more challenging." "So I overslept." "I just..." "I just..." "No, no, no, no, no, no." "So I overslept, and what's the first thing you want when you wake up?" "I want my Kellogg's Corn Pops." "OK, let me start again." "OK, all right."

"Children now spend twice as much time in front of a screen as they do in school, and 1.5 times more time in front of a screen than with their parents, which is quite phenomenal."

"There was personality study in the United States." "Well, back in the early '50s, only 12% of teenagers said," ""Yes, I'm an important person."" "By 1989, that number had risen to 80%." "I think there's no doubt that the media are the main ways that this is communicated to young people." "By turning our young audience into narcissists, we encourage the belief that they will one day get on television." "So we created reality television to feed this aspiration." "Every day we go out into the public, looking for new talent for these shows and this is how it's done." "Set up a pitch in your local shopping mall right next to the biggest candy stall."

"Get everybody to sign a consent form, signing away the right to use their child's image in any context on all media, throughout the known universe, until the end of time."

"I'm not." "I'm not, no." "That's a ridiculous question, I'm sorry." "Those children - 6, 7 and 8 - they have parents." "Those parents need to be aware of what their children are watching."

"Our profit depends on them constantly returning to try their luck." "Even though the odds are stacked against them." "So, I overslept." "I want my Kellogg's Corn Pops." "I just got to have my pops." "All right buddy, that was great." "All right, let's go do it." "10 minutes of practice that could mean the beginning of a great career in acting or it could be the end of it." "From what I heard, it went great." "The agent loved Ri-Yan, has big plans for him." "It was, all in all, just tremendous." "So Ri-Yan, tell us how was the interview?" "It was pretty good and..." "I liked it and I'm going to sign with it...sign with the agent." "They're ready to put him to work immediately so we're really excited about that." "Instead of going "hmmm", I want more "aarrgghhh"." "Arrgh!" "Good." "Arrrgh!" "Arggh!" "That was one of the best." "Usually, at this age..." "I don't even shoot them." "Really?" "Really." "Why, why?" "Do they just not respond to you or...?" "They're a pain in the ass!" "I used to shoot a lot of kids and I stopped doing it because it was so much work, you know?" "See, I like that attitude more than I do that." "I think he's got great listening skills." "That's what makes him very unique." "That's the most important thing." "Most people don't." "I don't have great listening skills." "I have horrible listening skills." "I don't listen to anybody." "Fuck them, listen to me!" "Go back a little further and you got to turn sideways even more." "Do you think that he's got what it takes to make it to the big time?" "Oh, without a doubt." "As long as he can take direction, cos it's all illusion anyway." "Like you're looking down a gun." "Yo!" "Yeah, I like that.." "We don't have money, I work everyday." "My wife works here, you know." "We beg and borrow." "We trade." "Like with Carlo, we trade." "With Carlo, he charges $5000 for a photo shoot." "He gave us all the pictures, all the rights and he said just pay me whatever, whenever you can." "The little bit of struggle we have right now is going to be a distant memory so we're really..." "And Ri-Yan too, he talks about it the same way." "On the way home the other day and he said, "You know what, Mom?"" "I'm going to buy you a really big house when I make it big, but I'm going to but it, not Dad." "I was like, "OK"." "You know, of course they would like him to be huge, but I think they're realising now that we've got signed in Los Angeles and they started auditioning, it's a taller task than they imagined it would be." "Now remember, they're driving 8-10 hours for a 30-second audition and driving all the way back." "You know, the first time you do it, it's OK, the second time... but try 15, 20 times, 30 times." "And you're spending gas money, taking a day off work." "A lot of people just say "We can't afford it,"" "or "We don't like it," or "We don't think anything is ever going to happen."" "So that's the stage they're getting into now." "(RI-YAN'S MUM) So what did we do today?" "I did a Coke audition in California." "So how you think you did?" "Good." "You think so?" "Yeah." "So, what are we going to do now?" "Er...we're driving back." "You ready for school tomorrow?" "Yeah, boring as all." "Did you do any homework?" "No." "Whoopsee!" "Yeah." "Got to do some homework, right?" "Yeah, before anything." "OK, say bye." "Over-optimism is a great human trait." "In most areas in life, looking for the positive side gets us through." "In very simple layman's terms, I think the easiest way to say what's the difference between a healthy excess of enthusiasm and an addiction is that healthy enthusiasms add to life and addictions take away from it." "I can see, theoretically, how people can be totally hooked on the idea of wanting to be famous." "The younger you are, the more susceptible you are to most types of addictive behaviour." "The earlier that you start smoking, having sex, drinking, gambling, you're more likely to have problems with those behaviours later in life." "The fruit machine is ideally designed to give lots of what we call near-win experiences, so, psychologically, a gambler does not constantly lose, a gambler constantly nearly wins." "We aim to give you a near-win experience as often as possible." "We carefully select stories of ordinary people who have hit the jackpot and we give them blanket coverage, reinforcing the belief that it could happen to you." "Wesley Autrey." "Wesley Autrey." "Wesley Autrey." "A 50-year-old American construction worker is being hailed a hero." "What's up?" "What's happening?" "I pretty much know everybody here." "How you doing?" "Wesley Autrey saved a stranger who'd fallen off a subway platform by throwing himself on top, pinning him down and protecting him from a passing train." "So, they come in at about 50, 60 miles-an-hour." "So, when you were approached by the media, did you say yes to every interview?" "Well, I let my sister who was my PR..." "More or less yes, yes, we did." "That's the day it happened, January 2nd." "And then you met the mayor." "The Mayor." "Donald Trump." "This is a brave man." "David Letterman." "That was a big day." "That was the night I was invited to the State Of The Union." "There is something wonderful about a country that produces a brave and humble man, like Wesley Autrey." "This day was a very crazy day because Deal Or No Deal wanted me on that day and Oprah wanted me on that day." "That applause is almost better than what I got at the State Of The Union." "Thank you, guys." "And then Time Magazine." "I was number 48 out of the most influential people in the world." "In the world?" "In '07." "Chrysler gave me that free jeep out there." "Chrysler gave you a jeep?" "Chrysler gave me a jeep behind me saving Cameron." "I would like to do a commercial for them to let the world know that is a great jeep." "I mean, not only is it economising, good on gas, it's an excellent jeep." "Und Heute Abend ist er bei uns zu Gast, der U-bahn Engel von New York, Wesley Autrey." "Suddenly..." "You're on every TV channel." "I'm on every TV channel." "My name is like a household name like Cornflakes." "So I'm telling him "don't move"." "APPLAUSE" "Is it true you've done over 2,000 interviews?" "Don't you ever get sick of it?" "No." "So it's increasing your brand worldwide?" "Exactly, exactly." "Thank you, baby." "If you stood for office in this ward, in this council... you would get a landslide, wouldn't you?" "Yeah, that's what people tell me." "They say," "Yo, you have so many people loving you and you have some great qualities, why don't you run for president, for mayor, for governor?" "Do you think you've changed by..." "Has it changed you?" "No, no, no." "Cos people said, "Don't let that change you, don't let that money change you."" "No, I don't think I've changed," "I think it's the people around me that have changed because I got friends who think I should give them," "I've got friends, like I said, who think I'm already a millionaire and that I'm nowhere near yet." "The kind of work that I've been doing," "I would actually say that people who have become famous, that, in and of itself, can be a potentially addictive activity." "When they do achieve something, they get intense mood-modificating effects." "They really do feel buzzed up and high when they've been on television, on radio or they see their name in print." "They're living on this oxygen of publicity." "Who hasn't, among us, had the sort of delicious experience of being at a cocktail party, telling a good story, having everyone hanging on our word and then laughing." "There's not a lot better in life than that." "If you could bottle that, you couldn't keep it on the shelves." "That's potent stuff." "Performing itself can produce a high and it's doing that through all the same chemistry that cocaine works." "Most addictions are about what we call the deficit of a particular neurotransmitter called dopamine." "It's going to affect the catecholamines." "There's plasma changes that sort of alters our chemistry a little bit and that really sets us up to need more of it, really." "The do-it-again part of our brain is sort of activated." "There's more firing going off." "And of course those euphoric chemicals like endorphins are firing off in other areas." "We create celebrities by selecting the right candidates and relentlessly boosting their profile." "This gets them hooked on positive attention." "And to keep you hooked on them, we sometimes need to change the type of attention we give them." "When the terrorists tried to attack Scotland's biggest airport, they were answered by the courage of the police and of the fire fighters and a baggage handler named John Smeaton." "Local hero - the airport baggage handler who ignored the dangers to tackle a suspected terrorist." "We're under attack here." "The British people have been under a lot worse things than this, and we always stand proud." "This is Glasgow, you know, so, we'll set about you." "A year ago, an unknown baggage handler at Glasgow Airport, today, receiving a medal from Her Majesty the Queen." "Fight on for freedom." "Fight on for Scotland!" "What we didn't headline when the story broke was that there were three other less photogenic citizens who also bravely fought the terrorists." "Nearly a year later, having received hardly any media attention, they turned on Smeaton." "And this time, we were only too happy to help." "And I'm like that." "Woah, stuck the heid back, foot oot." "It's almost instinctive..." "Totally, you know, and it's like... so you're saying I didnae do that, mate?" "You know that, to me, is libel." "You know, to me that's libel but..." "I'm a big man, I can take it," "I don't need to go and cry to newspapers and take it to the courts and..." "But when it's personal criticism, something that's... you know, it's overstepping the mark." "You know, that's when it hurts and that's when you begin to say..." "Bastards." "Do you know what I mean?" "But that's the nature of the beast." "That is the nature of the media." "There's no such thing as bad publicity." "Do you believe that?" "Aye." "You do?" "Oh, aye, you know?" "So, you'd rather have it with all the nastiness than not have it?" "Aye." "Is it the case that we are putting a unique kind of person up in celebrity status, and if that's true, why?" "What is it about us that we care about these people?" "Why do we care?" "These are sick people." "Why are we focused on them?" "Our entire global business is based on understanding the answer to these questions." "In the previous lesson you saw how a lucky few can get trapped inside the spotlight." "Our third lesson is about your irresistible attraction to them and how we manipulate this for profit." "Evolution can sometimes produce hard-wired behaviour that generations later causes you problems, like moths flying into a light." "Long ago, moths that instinctively flew towards the moon were better at navigating and this urge got handed down." "Now, technology has changed their surroundings and this instinct is more of a hindrance." "Darwinists believe that humans also developed powerful urges that kept them alive in times gone by." "Our brains are hard-wired to make us social." "Very few people can really tolerate social isolation for any length of time." "There is a theory that in the past, there were two types of human." "Those who naturally wanted to form groups, and those who wanted to be alone." "The team players were able to share tasks and so were able to survive when times got tough," "unlike the loners." "So the survivors passed on the urge to be part of a group, that modern man has inherited." "Some early humans instinctively copied the successful, while others tried to learn alone." "Well, it's not difficult to see why those who copied the leader would stay ahead of the competition." "TRUMPETING" "This is your inheritance, making you naturally copy whoever appears to be the leader of your gang." "What if there was also an urge to get as close as possible to whoever you're told is the most successful?" "This would have been good for women, who would have got to mate with the top dog." "And those men closest to the alpha male would have got to share his women, as well as any leftover food." "Anyone who naturally didn't want to join an entourage wasn't going to much reproducing." "So it is possible that you have evolved with an instinct to form groups, copy whoever appears to be successful, and to congregate around them." "But then technology advanced so quickly that it became possible to convince the mind that a moving image is real." "As soon as the trick was used to entertain an audience, our industry was born." "By entertaining the world, we were able to grow into powerful and influential corporations." "Now our reach is unparalleled and we deliver media to you and your children, in ways that you cannot control." "When we surround you with famous faces, your survival instincts kick in and you feel the urge to get up close and copy them." "This has created a new social hierarchy, based around your proximity to anyone well-known." "No, this is...this is..." "Oh, right." "It feels miles away doesn't it?" "Yeah." "I know." "We like to keep our distance." "Yeah, absolutely." "We don't know too much about you!" "It's a bespoke private celebrity PA agency." "What, attracted you to the advert?" "Why did you look at the ad and think, "That's something I want to do"?" "Well, it's clearly simple, it says "celebrity PA", and they were looking for someone in the industry who already understands what that word means." "Celebrity PA?" "Flexibility and motivation." "They're buying an assistant, in a way, like a pet." "And they can kick the pet?" "Well, unfortunately..." "They shouldn't do that, but..." "Pets get kicked." "I'd been working as an actor for about a year, since leaving uni." "I actually brought a CV with me, just, uh... just for general interest, really." "Yep, good." "Slide it across there." "I thought it would be far more interesting to work in the industry." "Let's say you're working for a... very high profile celebrity whose wife is, you know, getting on a bit, and he's having a series of affairs." "What if one of the girls was 16?" "That's not really a problem... 15?" "To be honest, if a 15-year-old girl wants to do that, she's going to do it anyway." "Good on her if she gets to do it with a celebrity." "You're quite young, got a social life." "Would you be happy to give all that up?" "Yeah." "Not see your friends or family?" "Yeah, that'd be fine." "They need five grams of coke." "That's fine." "If you drove, would you break the speed limit?" "No." "You wouldn't break the speed limit?" "I'd try not to." "The rules are always to break them, that's what the rule's for." "You always have to break them!" "But I never drive, anyway, on the limit." "What if they wanted to pay for sex and said, "Find me a prostitute"?" "I would do that." "I did that." "I did that." "I had to do that as well..." "Basically, this is your job, this is..." "Even if things were illegal or...?" "Even." "You just have to do it." "You are the gatekeeper to the celebrity's life." "They have crazy people after them." "Wow." "Like stalkers, psychos, nut nuts, crack bags, the whole thing." "I mean, would you...?" "Would that worry you?" "No." "I know it sounds really weird, but, um..." "Do you ever get this feeling where you just want a bit of adventure in your life?" "Yeah, yeah." "A bit like a movie." "Yeah, yeah." "This all sounds fantastic to me." "But you might end up taking a bullet for them." "Does that worry you?" "Surprisingly, no." "Stupid thing to say," "I wouldn't mind taking a bullet for someone I don't know, but..." "That's the sort of adventure and adrenaline I need in my life." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Thank you, cheers." "Again there's some interesting research on this, they call the phenomenon" ""basking in reflected glory"." "In this study, students, several hundred of them, read a short biography of Rasputin, you know, the villain of Russian history." "For half of them, they customise the test so Rasputin had the same birthday as you did, without you knowing," "My birthday's July 28th, so I'm reading it and Rasputin was born July 28th whenever." "The people that had the same birthday as Rasputin were, across the board, more likely to say Rasputin was a misunderstood man in history." "He was notorious but he was great and he played an important role and that shouldn't be forgotten." "And this is just because they share a birthday." "The power of association with someone who's famous, or even infamous, is far more potent than we even realise." "Are you just taking one pair of shoes?" "Just these, or you want to take some other...?" "Whatever's going to fit with that outfit." "See, I wash all his shoes, man." "Some of them are two years old, they look brand new because every night I clean them." "That's the military in me." "And sometimes we argue about what we're wearing!" "(MAN) But who's the commander of the outfit?" "He likes to say that it's him." "But it's always my wife." "I'll kind of draw from other celebrities." "I was trying to do something LL Cool J-style, like, with a tracksuit and track pants." "It's Chet Buchanan The Morning Zoo." "Give it to me." "On 98.5 KLUC." "Spence, while you're up, would you please let in our guest?" "Yes sir." "(MAN) So he's got his own little slot on a radio show?" "Yeah, he's doing the NFL season and it's on the biggest radio station in Vegas." "Where did the other mic go?" "That's cos it's down near the floor, where the little fella is!" "No, it's not." "What's up, buddy?" "Hey." "Ri-yan didn't have school today, so he came in." "If you want to make money, are you taking Cincinnati or the Dallas Cowboys?" "Dallas Cowboys!" "Take it all to the bank and come back and see us on Monday, that's what I'm saying." "I don't know as he gets older, he'll say, this is a big deal," "I'm on the radio and I'm talking to hundreds of thousands of people, you know." "They are listening to me." "What if he just doesn't understand how important it is." "So far it hasn't fazed him." "You got slaughtered last weekend!" "Yes, I did." "We keep throwing him in more and more of these situations." "Right now, we try everything." "It was nice to see you, Ri-yan." "Nice meeting you, Ri-yan." "Great meeting you." "He'll be DJ-ing throughout the day." "APPLAUSE" "I'm running the bookie." "The bookie!" "(CROWD) Woah!" "I don't want no problems!" "Why do they call you the bookie?" "Because I've been collecting money and I've been breaking some heads." "Breaking some heads!" "I'm going to buy a car here." "That's another show, it's an info-commercial, but it's run, like, ten times a weekend on different channels in town, so his exposure, people see him." "Let's make some noise for my boy, Ri-yan!" "CHEERING" "He also does like promos at different bars." "People have football parties, he has his own booth and he has his own fan base." "You've got your own fan base?" "You've got your own fan base?" "Yeah." "Ye-e-ah!" "(WOMAN) Ri-yan just made parole." "As his, you know, success progresses we're going to have to be more aware, more, way more aware of who we speak to about him." "We still do what we got to do, you know." "They can't stop us." "Yeah." "We can't be, you know, afraid..." "We'll be stuck in the house all the time." "We don't live our life that way." "No matter how many celebrities we create, it's never going to be possible for everybody to join an entourage." "But there are other ways we can exploit your need to be close to the famous, all from the comfort of your own living room." "Television probably played the biggest part here, because with television, there's an illusion of intimacy and that visual image, now quite realistic, can be right in one's home, giving us the illusion that we actually know these people." "There is no way evolution could have anticipated the internet!" "And therefore, we are stuck with a kind of brain machinery which was designed to handle face-to-face interactions." "It was not designed to handle virtual interactions." "It is a brave new world from that point of view and that does mean it's easily exploited by people who can figure out how to use that medium to their advantage." "A para-social relationship is one of those awful technical terms which sounds more fancy than it is." "It simply means that you have a relationship with somebody which is not based upon a face-to-face relationship, it's based upon what you know about that person through the press, what you know about that person through watching him or her on TV" "despite the fact that you never actually meet the celebrity." "I say to my students that the only example that I know of where people have this deep emotional attachment to someone they've never met is the attachment that some people have to God." "But the para-social relationship is created by the media, fuelled by the media." "And we all do it?" "We all do it, yes." "CROWD CHANTS" "The more celebrities we create, the more we can capitalise on these bonds." "And the younger these relationships are formed, the stronger they're going to be." "Her whole bedroom has posters of Zac Efron!" "Zac Efron!" "CROWD SCREAMS" "I think there's some things that celebrities do that play right into this trick of the box." "Pretending it's a two-way relationship," "I think, enhances this." "Yeah, I feel like there's a connection there." "Yeah." "And he loves me!" "There is this terrifying prospect I have that it is actually replacing what we used to call real life, that people are developing stronger imaginary relationships with people who are themselves imaginary constructions, people who are not real." "And our purpose in encouraging you to make one-way friendships?" "It's simple - to make you buy stuff." "Your urge to copy the famous influences your spending, whether you like it or not." "See how easy it is to keep a man happy?" "Why not give your husband a carton of Philip Morris cigarettes." "Delivers flavour, 20 times a pack." "When it's tougher than ever to be a tiger..." "Success is down to finding people like this..." "Now for the good bit... if you have a debt problem... ..and a prudent approach to banking... ..you could borrow anything... ..three and a half times your salary..." "A million pounds... ..as long as you keep paying the premium..." "Is that too much to ask?" "..." "It's going to cost a pigging fortune, this lot!" "..." "Don't treat me like an idiot..." "Do you have advice for young people who drive?" "Take it easy driving." "The life you might save might be mine." "Celebrity endorsement works on an emotional level." "We process emotions and we process rational thought in different parts of the brain." "So the limbic system, which is the very old part of the brain that says," ""Lion on the savannah, ..."" ""Lion on the savannah, ..." LION ROARS" ""..run away!"" "That's where we process things on an emotional, almost gut-feel level." "Imagine a horse and a rider." "That piece of the brain is like the horse, just working away." "And that's where we make decisions and do maths and use spreadsheets." "We try to control the more instinctive parts of our brains, that's like the rider." "But sometimes the rider loses control of the horse." "It's been shown in experiments." "If you ask people, "Would you like fruit salad or chocolate cake?"" "People will go, "I should take the fruit salad, because that's the sensible thing to do."" "So they'll take the fruit salad." "But if you give them a really difficult task to do beforehand, so they're mentally exhausted, they'll go for the chocolate cake, because that's their instinct." "And that's how it seems to be with a lot of emotional advertising that's not well-labelled." "We just process it instinctively." "These forms of advertising are most effective when you're not even aware that you're being sold to." "This is Hannah Montana." "It's time to wake up!" "Seriously, it is!" "You know what else is serious?" "Back to school shopping!" "So gather your list of school supplies." "and don't forget Walmart has Hannah Montana gear, the fashion and the music you love." "Be a superstar yourself and get your things together." "And have fun!" "Good luck this year at school." "Children up to the age of eight, nine and ten don't really understand the persuasive intent of advertisements." "There are people in there trying to sell you something." "I've no doubt our society would be much better if there was a total ban on advertising for any child under 12, and really limiting advertising towards teenagers." "It's possible that there is a link between increasing materialism and the mental health problems that an increasing number of our children show." "In the last ten years, something has shifted." "The number of young people now that say a good life is about money, fame, appearance, has shot up dramatically." "That's what our young people believe, and why wouldn't they?" "Because that's the value system that they're picking up from the media." "The media do not want to hear this message." "It is not in their interest for people to be saying that part of the problem with well-being, or confidence or whatever, might be the media." "And that one of the best and easiest ways for people to actually look after their mental health is to cut down on media consumption." "They don't like it." "As we set the public agenda, we'll avoid giving exposure to anything that will discourage you wanting more of our product." "By attaching a product to a familiar and likeable face, we've developed an unstoppable means of making you spend what you don't have on things you don't need." "Most people will say that these tricks don't affect them, but that makes the tricks even more potent." "How can you fight something if you don't believe it exists?" "So strong are these bonds that every piece of information about our celebrities is valuable to you." "When we insert famous faces into your eyeline, you're guaranteed to stop and look." "The need to gather social information about the people we perceive as influential and powerful is something that is embedded deep within us." "There are some studies that have been done at Duke University on Rhesus monkeys." "They can do one of two things." "They have a device hooked up to the eyes, so people can see which way the monkey's looking at." "And if they look at one screen, they get a squirt of juicy juice which is, you know, payment, reward." "Or they can look at another screen and see a series of pictures." "and what Platt found was that these monkeys were willing to give up food - or "pay" - for two things." "One was to look at the hind quarters of females." "OK, I don't need to explain that!" "The second were the dominant monkeys in the group." "Why would they give up food?" "Why would they pay in effect to look at the pictures of the dominant members of their group?" "The answer is that that information is valuable, social information." "So the more I know about the dominant monkey in my group, when he eats, where he sleeps, who he likes to mate with," "I increase the chances of my own survival." "But that mechanism is still firing, it's like a ghost ship." "We are not getting anything out of it, we're not ingratiating ourselves, we're not enhancing our own abilities to survive, but the mechanism still fires, fires, fires, and we're looking at these pictures." "This is Ryan." "He's a six-year-old who can make better football picks than me, and Monica and probably the whole place." "Thanks for coming back, Ryan." "Time now for some showbiz news." "Gossip has become the underpinning of the news business." "The more we tell you about somebody, the more you want to know about them." "Gossip is actually quite useful in allowing you to work out how to handle situations." "Talking through other people's experiences helps you prepare yourself for coping with the same kind of experiences." "And the demand for bad news is even greater than the demand for good news." "Even if you don't like our featured celebrity, you're still going to want to know all about their misfortunes." "You are more interested in learning how to avoid danger than you are interested in learning how to become even more successful than you already are." "So that's why, in general, we're drawn to negative news more than drawn to positive news." "We are here to sell you good news, bad news, any kind of news you want." "And if it isn't available, we'll create it, just for you!" "We're now going to pull back the curtain and reveal how." "Sylvester Stallone was just wandering around here the other day." "I saw that on..." "I don't know where." "Was he trying to find a shop?" "Yeah, he was on the corner, looking around and everyone was shaking his hand." "You see, it's all you need." "And there wasn't a lot of paps on him either." "That would have been a great set of pictures." "Cos there was a story?" "He wasn't lost, but..." "Rambo gets lost." "You know, found his way round the jungle but fucked in Rodeo Drive." "PHONE RINGING" "Hello, mate." "I guess that's where all the top boys are." "I'm going to see what's going on up there, I think." "All right, buddy." "Thanks." "Yeah, exactly." "Er, if there's anybody..." "All right, Mick?" "How you doing, fella?" "Sorry to make you jump, fella." "Yeah, good." "Made me jump as well." "Cheers, bud." "Did you get him?" "Yeah." "God, I just clocked him in the mirror." "We were sitting in Dean Street in Soho, having a coffee." "It was about half two in the morning." "Pete Doherty and Mick Whitnall and one of the other Babyshambles come round the corner and I spot 'em." "At the time he was with Kate, so it was, you know, Pete was saleable then." "And this little beggar girl, she started saying" ""Oh, I haven't seen you since rehab, blah, blah, blah."" "And he pulled out a folded-up 20, you could see it was a £20 note." "Then he clamped his hand round it and he gives it to her." "John catches this, I get it from the other angle, so I get him going in his pocket." "In the Sunday People, the headline was, "Oh dear, Pete, what's the score?"" "They had a blow-up of his hand in her hand and this little end of a £20 note which looked like a wrap." "Yeah." "So it was the wrap that never was." "There were some quotes from somewhere." "Where quotes come from, who knows?" "They make them up, don't they?" "Onlooker said, bystander said..." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "The "Chum said" quote may just be fiction." "It's just the caption writer providing a lie to write about." "Who knows?" "Who can check?" "We don't know who it is." "And who cares?" "I mean, that's the problem." "The big corporations who've taken over the media outlets on the whole have cut editorial staffing levels and at the same time they increased our outputs." "They got masses of extra supplements in newspapers." "And that quite simply reduces the time we have to do our job." "And if you take away time from reporters, you're taking away their most important working asset." "Wherever you live in the world, the source of much of your celebrity gossip is the great British press." "Our journalists there are always on the look-out for new reliable sources." "PHONE RINGING" "Hello, Showbiz." "Hello." "Sorry, is that The Star?" "I just got a call from a friend of mine, she was at a party at Amy Winehouse's place last night." "They were having like a jamming session." "Playing guitars and stuff?" "They blew the fuses completely in the house," "Amy goes off and tries to fix it with a mate of hers and he got a complete shock and she just jolted and then apparently singed her hair!" "(LAUGHS)" "And I was like, she lives in Barnet!" "How cool is that?" "That's very funny, Emma." "Yeah, yeah." "(LAUGHS)" "We can give you a bit of money for this Emma, if you want..." "Oh, really?" "Yeah, we operate, we rely on people tipping us off about stuff." "So, by and large, most reporters, most of the time, no longer go out and find stories or make contacts or even check facts." "PHONE RINGING" "Hello, Diary." "Hey there." "Do you guys pay for stories?" "We do if they're printed." "I'm a waitress over at Scotts in Mayfair." "On Saturday night, there was Guy Ritchie and Trudie Styler." "He was really drunk and he was like, flailing his cutlery all over the place." "Whacked himself in the face." "Oh, that's quite funny!" "He cut himself a little bit." "How much would that kind of thing be worth?" "Lead stories on Bizarre go for £600." "Oh, my goodness." "We're going into an age of information chaos." "The profession that was there, that was supposed to be doing the job of filtering out truth from falsehood, is slowly declining." "The idea it's being replaced by bloggers and citizen journalists and the internet is, to me, far more optimism than reality." "The internet is full of babble." "Imbecile babble." "PHONE RINGING" "Hello, I've got a story about Sarah Harding, is there someone I can speak to?" "You can speak to me." "I do the gossip column." "Oh, all right." "My husband is a removal man and he was moving Sarah Harding." "She has loads of books on like, quantum physics." "She had little telescopes and stuff." "Oh, wow!" "Like she's really into astronomy or something." "Oh, that's good, really good." "It ceases to matter to these big media organisations whether it's true, it's legal, it's right, whether it's important." "It's just a story." "They're not in the business of telling the truth." "Media organisations are in the business of being in a business, making money." "And this corruption of journalistic standards goes right to the top" "There's no doubt about it." "The fact that the most successful editors of the newspapers have been former showbiz journalists, their standards have corrupted, in my view, corrupted other parts of journalism." "With these market forces, it's even more important to remember why we exist." "Journalism." "Investment in journalism is the key to long-term prosperity, yet cost-cutting is inevitable." "Your need to have this information, combined with our ability to sell it to you, has created a demand for infinite content." "This final lesson will illustrate how we deliver this." "Not too long ago, there were enough journalists around to verify their stories before they were printed." "As news operations became streamlined, checking facts and sourcing leads became a luxury they could no longer afford." "This irreversibly changed the type of news they had time to write about." "Then we took over the news business and the digital demand is now so great that even we struggle to provide infinite content." "Thankfully, our partners in the public-relations industry are always available to fill that void." "If you look at it from the other end of the telescope and you look at all the celebrity stories appearing in the media, and ask yourself, how many of these are spontaneous?" "More than half the stories in the national media are wholly or mainly constructed out of PR material, fabricated by the PR industry, in order to inject their angle, their product, their idea, their celebrity into the media." "Showbiz correspondent Steve Hargrave was in Leicester Square." "Our arts reporter Stephanie West went to meet them." "Cannes is all abuzz with celebrities and fashion as the world-famous film festival is underway in France." "I don't think we'd dispense it, "That isn't news, that's advertising!"" "Because the boundaries are so blurred now." "And I honestly don't think most people know the difference, even if there is a difference." "Perhaps it's just gone." "See, before I watched that I wouldn't have bothered, and now..." "I'm desperate to go." "If PR serves up a celebrity, we'll go for it, because it's a human story." "We like safe stories, rather than anything controversial," "We like simple stories, rather than anything complex." "All these work in a commercial outfit because you can bang them out fast and the punters will like it." "It's cheap, easy, not legally dangerous and it sells papers, so you can see a whole shift in the priorities of the media because if the celebrity story is good, with a good picture, we don't know whether it's true," "But who cares?" "They're not going to complain, they gave us the story." "If we allow our news media to take its material from people who are serving those interests, we're completely abandoning the interests which we should be serving, which is the readers' and viewers'." "And of course you've got to look at it from the point of view of the journalists." "If journalists don't co-operate, they're cut out, they don't have access." "Are you filming this?" "And that matters because PR is inherently unreliable as a source of truth." "All experienced PR people will tell you they have seen their own press releases appear verbatim in newspapers with the reporter's by-line 'cause the reporter hasn't got time to check he probably even hasn't got time to re-write it, just bang it in." "These techniques can only satisfy your need for good news, so other parts of the PR industry are working hard to generate bad news as well." "The art of the PR is to try and take it as sleazy as you can without crossing a line." "(LAUGHS)" "Is that...?" "That's funny!" "Politicians call them spin doctors and things." ""Spin" is a posh word for "lie"." "You know, I've told a lie, maybe a little white lie, but spin is bullshit." "So what do we understand?" "The bikini, we're not going to talk to Maowi, but we will ask their name." "I thought it was shame not to have a Miss Great Britain 2009 so I spoke with the owners and we've managed to keep the show going." "I hope for you at the end we'll have Miss Great Britain as a client at my agency." "So, if you could ask their name and just say," ""Would you please go and stand over there and do some pictures with Piers?"" "In a bikini?" "Yes." "And then afterwards the same bunch come in again in a dress." "And they sit in that chair you're in, and we grill them...but in a dress." "If I'm honest, when I'm sat at a meeting table with a new client" "I'm looking at them like a cash register." "I'm thinking "How much money's in the till?"" "So, how much money would it cost for you to do a full nude photo shoot for Playboy Magazine?" "I wouldn't do it." "No, no money in the world?" "No, I wouldn't do it." "Ten million?" "Twenty million?" "Thirty million pounds cash sitting there?" "Money doesn't really mean anything to me." "No?" "That's interesting." "OK, thank you." "Thank you." "See you later." "See you next time." "Thank you." "Safe journey home." "Bye." "I saw recently there was a student beauty pageant or something and a lot of students came and protested outside." "Are you worried about that?" "No, I want them." "I've actually already started a rent-a-crowd." "I'm looking for people to do that." "(CHANTING) Miss UK, not OK!" "Miss UK, not OK!" "Hello, big tits." "How are ya?" "Good, you?" "Yeah, fine." "Are you ready for some fun?" "Of course!" "Have we told you what we're doing?" "Kind of." "Brains not busts, brains not busts!" "I've got some people upstairs say they're part of your show, but they look like protestors." "Are they supposed to be here or not?" "Yeah, I'm just doing a little stunt, five minutes for the press." "Thank you." "Thank you for letting me know." "Sorry, I should have warned you about that." "You guys need to come in really tight cos the main picture's going to be her going in the door sort of like this." "So a wall of placards?" "Yeah." "I know..." "I know it doesn't look real." "Yeah?" "Like that." "I'm not even going to get her to walk home," "I'm just going to get her to keep coming here like this, looking at you and we'll work just this area." "Does that work, Mario?" "Yes, that's it. (CHUCKLES)" "All right, Case." "We're not going to get you to walk up the road, we're going to get you just to sort of stand here." "And if you walk in..." "You've got to try and..." "Walk in like that?" "(CHANTING) Miss UK, not OK!" "Miss UK, not OK!" "Miss UK, not OK!" "We'll be two secs, and we'll just get the egg." "Brains not busts!" "Brains not busts!" "Brains not busts!" "(CHEERS)" "Miss UK, not OK!" "Miss UK, not OK!" "Bloody protestors!" "Dave, you've just assaulted one of your own clients there." "Was that successful?" "The great thing about Casey is she's got the right attitude for this business - you can't take it too seriously." "It was worth it, it's cost me six eggs." "If there isn't a story we have to spin one." "The newspapers or magazines aren't interested in just a picture." "And that's where I come in, you have to make a story up." "They've got empty pages, they've got a deadline tonight, they've got to fill those pages up." "If editors are all going to start writing only things that's true in the newspapers, we're not going to get a lot of newspapers out, are we?" "You never ever open up a national tabloid newspaper and read" ""Look." "How lovely she looks in that lovely flowing frock."" "Don't happen." ""She's a slut, she's been shagging this person behind the footballer's back, blah, blah, blah"" "That's how it works." "They want sleaze." "I have to get my clients in the headspace that they need to be able to deal with that." "They need to have skin like a rhinoceros to survive in this business." "You know, the worst thing is the kiss-and-tell thing." "A girl has slept with a Premiership footballer on Saturday night, the following Monday she's coming into offices like this to broker the deal and sell the story." "Now, it's modern-day prostitution, except he's not leaving the money on the side next to the bedside lamp." "She's collecting her money from the News Of The World or the Sunday Mirror." "It is modern-day prostitution." "To keep up with demand, our journalists often need to take an active role in bringing you these stories." "So we will go to any lengths to manufacture your news." "I came up to London and just got like spotted when I was out clubbing and, em, asked if I wanted to model." "I was like, "Well, yeah." Didn't know anybody, had no friends, so, it was like, you know, nothing better to do." "The woman that was encouraging me to do it said I would get more modelling work." "Who was this, your agent?" "Yeah." "No fashion agency wanted to book me after that." "Every week you had to get a kiss-and-tell." "Not just me or the features desk or the news desk." "I just seemed to be able to generate good stories from these girls." "She was given a huge amount of money and she thought, "Actually, maybe I can do the same again,"" "or, you know, blah, blah, blah." "But actually the more she got involved with it, the more they asked her to do more things." "The modelling work was drying up, em, and I needed money to feed my drug habit, also my alcohol habit and then, em, one day I was just taking drugs, partying in the pub when Mr Leslie walked in..." "John Leslie?" "John Leslie?" "..with his mates." "Yes." "A guy who worked on the features desk at The People rang me up and was basically, "Stay there, we'll get a girl down with you."" "So the newspaper pressurized you to do the story?" "Yeah, the features editor did, quite a lot." "You know, they can easily manipulate all these people." "That's why the papers have a field day with them all." "And this is still happening out there now." "I mean, he knew I was off my face on drugs and he didn't care about that." "He just cared about becoming a showbiz journalist - or whatever crap it was - of the year." "It's quite funny actually, because a lot of the girls I used to work with five years ago, they've all gone off and they've got kids or they've, you know, they've married." "So...those are the lucky ones." "And what about the unlucky ones?" "Erm, you never hear about them, they disappear." "Don't know what's..." "I don't know, I don't know." "A couple of times at one drug dealer's house..." "Well, we think he put Rohypnol in my drink." "I collapsed and was passed out and erm, like he had sex with me and stuff, but, like, obviously I wasn't conscious." "But because I had kissed and telled, or kiss and told, erm, the CPS didn't want to press charges against the guy who had raped me even though the other girls... or it's common knowledge in the town that he had done it before." "Because you'd sold your story?" "Yeah, basically I was branded a kiss-and-tell girl." "Whenever the newspapers are challenged about these kinds of stories, they say that they're only giving people what they want." "Well, that might be." "You could justify throwing Christians to lions in Rome that way, couldn't you?" "That's what the Romans wanted, but it doesn't mean it's good and it certainly doesn't make it legal." "We run a worldwide operation, but in some countries there are unhelpful limits on how far the press can bend the law." "We can bypass these restrictions by publishing stories in one of our British tabloids first, so it can travel instantly around the globe." "There's a subset of journalists who are still supposed to be getting scoops, to use the old-fashioned language." "And lots and lots of the stories that are done about celebrities, against the wishes of the celebrity, the painful exposes, are done by using illegal techniques." "Hello, news desk." "Hi, I wonder if there's someone I could speak to about a quite sensitive celebrity story." "Basically, it's not me, it's a friend of mine, she works in a cosmetic surgery clinic." "Right." "I've been on her for years saying that you could make a fortune out of some of the things you know." "She's an ex-girlfriend, basically, and anyway she's interested, so she's asked me to sort of make some discreet enquiries." "Right, I think we'd find it very difficult, because under the Press Complaints Commission charter, you cannot go into people's health issues." "I think you'll find it a very, very difficult thing to sort of get any newspaper interested." "I mean there might be others who have got a different view on it, but I just think, from our point of view, it would be a legal minefield." "It sounds like it would be right up our street, to be honest with you." "We are definitely interested in these sorts of stories." "We'd definitely be interested in speaking to you about how we could kind of move forward with it." "I would be very interested." "I think what it's crying out for is a cup of coffee or a glass of wine." "Good to meet you." "How are you doing?" "Yeah, not too bad." "Bit of a nightmare journey in?" "Have you got everything you need?" "Yeah, yeah." "You haven't paid for this already, have you?" "Our newspaper industry in Britain is responsible enough to regulate itself and is policed by the watchful eye of the Press Complaints Commission." "Can I quickly move on to the Press Complaints Commission?" "How seriously do you take a judgment of the Press Complaints Commission?" "Very seriously, erm..." "No editor wants to have an adjudication against them." "A complaint being upheld by the PCC is what terrifies editors." "You perhaps underestimate the kind of humiliation that comes with a PCC adjudication." "It carries an enormous amount of weight and carries far more significance than a fine." "It's difficult to convey this, because it sounds like we're being sanctimonious, but there is deep shame when you have to carry an adjudication." "Oh, really?" "So a slap on the wrist?" "Really?" "!" "Right, of course, I remember reading about this." "The PCC and self-regulation has changed the culture in every single newsroom in the land." "Self-regulation works, and it would be nice if, occasionally, that was recognised." "And we have a great system, so forgive us for promoting it, but that's the truth." "When is comes to the media's lack of morals, there's one person who has more to say on this than anybody else." "And every year, I think, it gets harder and harder for any person of principle to be on tabloid newspapers." "Because if you don't do it, you're sacked and they get somebody else in." "Public relations isn't only about fabricating stories, it's about controlling the truth, and in the field of censorship, Max Clifford is our undisputed master." "He, unlike anyone else in this game, is a poacher-turned-gamekeeper." "Let's have a chat to Jade Goody's publicist, Max Clifford." "He is presented to the public as this Honest Joe pundit who's able to talk about the world of celebrity, but we have no health warning, we don't know whether, in fact, he has engineered the story." "Well, my job is a combination of promotion and protection, but every year, it's more about protection than it is about promotion." "I'll get a lawyer on the phone." ""Max, there's somebody else coming over I want you to look after." "They're going to be in the country for two months." "They like this, they do this, nice guy, nice woman, but..." "Celebrities, stars, it's important that you're seen to be putting something back." "From a PR perspective, it's good for them, and obviously it's good for the people that benefit." "And this goes right to the top." "I mean, let's look at the Prime Minister's wife, Cherie Blaire," "When she's about to have a baby, he gives that alledgedly to Piers Morgan because Piers Morgan will then be prevented from running a damaging story about one of Max Clifford's clients." "So, here the Prime Minister's wife's baby is part of the trade with Max Clifford to prevent some other celebrity being turned over by the papers." "This concludes the final lesson." "We, the sponsors, can now use the allure of fame to reach everybody in the world from the day that they're born." "We have tapped into your instinct to copy the famous, enabling us to sell you whatever we choose." "Your hunger to know everything about our celebrities means we can feed you media 24 hours a day, allowing us to control the truth." "Having learned these lessons, we are now able to perform illusions on a grand scale, fooling billions of people, and extend our power way beyond entertainment." "You've already seen how celebrities naturally divert your attention, so for a politician, they become a valuable distraction." "Once we've connected them to politicians for long enough, the boundaries start to blur." "Even on its own, this simple trick can be extremely successful." "So let's have a quick look at how it works at local level." "It should give you a glimpse of what you have to look forward to." "In 2008, a group of our Lithuanian celebrities thought they could do better than real politicians." "They formed their own political party and ran for office." "This celebrities' party simply took a lot of the populist votes from the other parties." "So what, they're actually part of the government?" "Certainly, they are second-largest party in the government with two cabinet ministers and the speaker of the parliament." "(SPEAKS LITHUANIAN)" "So like, ever since independence, he's basically been in TV..." "In charge of the media." "Exactly." "(SPEAKS LITHUANIAN)" "(SPEAKS LITHUANIAN)" "APPLAUSE" "My name is Donalda Meizelyte." "My job, I'm a member of parliament of Lithuania." "(SINGS IN LITHUANIAN)" "I was a singer, actor on TV, and if you're clever person, so you can be a member of parliament." "(SINGS IN LITHUANIAN)" "(SPEAKS IN LITHUANIAN)" "My name is Linas Karalius." "And what is your job here?" "I'm a member of parliament." "(SPEAKS LITHUANIAN)" "(SINGS IN LITHUANIAN)" "And I have an autograph!" "My name is Rokas Zilinskas." "And what's your job?" "What is it that you do?" "I worked for the television for 18 years, including 15 years as a news anchor." "And now what do you do?" "Now I'm a member of parliament and the chairman of Nuclear Energy Commission." "When you're out in the street, when people see you, do they see you as a television presenter or a politician or both?" "Just put my name in YouTube and you'll see that I'm more popular than Madonna in this country." "(TRANSLATOR) What they say is that he was the best TV presenter in Lithuania." "That's what they say." "Now they say he's the worst politician." "(INTERVIEWER LAUGHS)" "Everything what's happening in the politics in the world shows that that's a global trend, it's not only Lithuania's." "This simple trick has granted us access to the tables of power all over the world." "But for our grand illusion, we've added one more crucial ingredient - charity." "On the one hand, you naturally avoid questioning celebrities or their actions, and, on the other, we provide a blanket endorsement of anything entertaining." "This combination has enabled us to convince the world that we are changing it for the better." "To see how this illusion works, let's take a look at our greatest success so far." "In 2005, the most famous celebrities and politicians in the world came together with the intention of solving African poverty once and for all." "I was very reluctant to do this again." "I couldn't see how anything could possibly be better than that glorious day 20 years ago, almost perfect in what it achieved and in the day itself." "Thank you, good night." "Please send your money in." "CHEERING 1985's Live Aid raised more than $200 million over the last 20 years." "So it seemed to me that we could gather together again, but this time not for charity but for political justice." "Live 8 is there to say, "The rest of the world, join in"" "and try to see whether or not eight men in one room can't change the world on one day in July." "See this little girl?" "She had ten minutes to live 20 years ago, and because we did a concert, she's here tonight, this little girl!" "Birhan!" "CHEERING AND APPLAUSE" "How much did Live 8 raise?" "Well, so far, 65 billion, you know, and rising, not bad." "On aid, ten out of ten." "On debt, eight out of ten." "This is the story we would have you believe." "The truth, as always, is a bit more complicated." "My objection is much less to his simplification, than I think that Live Aid arguably did some harm as well as some good." "A lot of money was raised." "The money was distributed to a large number of humanitarian relief agencies." "Some of the agencies used the Live Aid money to bring in materials and food to places where the Ethiopian government wanted these people to go." "A government that really basically wanted to do ethnic cleansing, forced population transfer of people from the combat zone, where they were thought to sympathise with the guerrilla armies, to less cultivated, less settled areas in the south of Ethiopia." "Medecins Sans Frontieres estimate that between 150,000 and 200,000 Ethiopians were killed due to this forced relocation, which was enabled by the relief effort." "They claim this killed more than famine and war during 1985." "The aid monies that allowed the Ethiopian government to give the relief that attracted these people in order to be forcibly cleansed." "20 years later, the problem of African poverty had not gone away, so the British government formed a committee and asked Bob Geldof to join." "Quite separately, a group of activists and charities came together to form a coalition called Make Poverty History." "The idea of the campaign was really to mobilise an unprecedentedly large number of people to come behind this basic call to the G8, the most powerful governments of the world, that they should clean up their act." "Take three major issues - aid, debt and fair trade - and see if you can shift the position of these major government leaders." "Make Poverty History made plans to hold a huge march in Edinburgh on July 2nd to coincide with the G8 summit, but Richard Curtis started to persuade his friend Bob Geldof to organise another charity concert." "He also enlisted the help of his brother-in-law, the PR, Matthew Freud." "Freud's father-in-law, Rupert Murdoch, owns The Sun newspaper, which started to campaign for another Live Aid concert using the story of Birhan Wold..." "Led by the Sun, several of our publications claimed that her life had been saved by Live Aid in 1985." "What we didn't disclose was that her life was actually saved from the brink of starvation in 1984, ten months before the Live Aid concerts." "The Sun journalists also claimed that they alone had rediscovered Birhan, even though she'd been filmed throughout the intervening 20 years by the original Canadian journalist who also contributed to her education." "Two months before the march, Geldof announced the Live 8 concert with the full backing of the British government." "The sort of Live 8 concerts were not sort of organisationally part of Make Poverty History." "Well, the march in Edinburgh was set for 2nd July, the Saturday, and that had been in place for months and months and months." "And then, suddenly, the Live 8 concert appears on that same day." "On July 2nd, 250,000 people took to the streets of Edinburgh in the largest march of its kind, but most of the British media was in London, filming themselves providing saturation coverage of the concert." "In between the acts, films were screened that illustrated the message of Make Poverty History, but instead the BBC had to broadcast interviews with famous people." "You know, there's 2.2 billion people watching." "3.4 billion." "I know, they keep saying to me 5.5 billion." "Over half the planet." "What should have been a political concert was very much kind of watered down and frittered away by the way the media covered it." "The next day, our newspapers hardly had any room to report on the march." "You remember Pink Floyd reforming, you remember Pete Doherty not being able to sing." "You don't remember that actually, you know, a quarter of a million people were marching around Edinburgh at the same time." "On the Wednesday, when the march went up to Gleneagles which was where the G8 was actually meeting, suddenly there was another Live 8 concert, which just happened to have been arranged for the same day, this time in Murrayfield in Edinburgh." "Every time that we want to get a strong political message into the media, there happens to be a pop concert to take away all of that thunder." "When using celebrities, the message stays simple, but not always consistent." "This is to raise awareness and for people to sign the Live 8 pledge, and, er...as many people as possible, so that Bono and Bob can take it to the G8 leaders on Wednesday and say, "Listen, we've got 150 million people with this thing."" "There are 500 million signatures, they tell me, already today." "In this box are 38 million people." "There are 31 million names in this box." "The leaders of the most powerful nations in the world presented an aid and debt package for Africa, the majority of which had been announced well before the summit and the concerts." "On aid, ten out of ten." "On debt, eight out of ten." "I was there in the press conference in Gleneagles when Bob Geldof gave the G8 ten out of ten, and that's after the Jubilee Debt Campaign had said they'd failed on debt and the UK Aid Network had said they'd failed on aid." "The BBC commissioned Brook Lapping, which was owned by Bob Geldof's company, to make an impartial documentary about the Live 8 story." "It concluded that it was a sensational success." "The only person in the world who could pull off Live 8 was Bob, so he was, as it were, my husband or wife, the person I had to deal with." "Just lying on our sofa making a lot of phone calls on speakerphone and enjoying the croissants and the coffee and the cake and the tea and the lunch and then the dinner at night." "They didn't actually strengthen the message of Make Poverty History." "In fact, they diluted that message and made it much more of an unclear, touchy-feely experience, where everybody's made to feel good about themselves, but, in fact, the political demands have been watered down to nothingness." "And the promotional side of the event was extremely successful and resulted in a huge increase in album sales for all of our record companies." "Four years on, and the promises are not on course to be met." "Of all the aid promised to Africa, only $7 billion has materialised." "How much did Live 8 raise?" "Well, so far 65 billion, you know, and rising, not bad." "The misinformation is probably going to be a constant." "I frankly think Save Darfur has produced a tremendous amount of misinformation in much the same mode, even though, again, as with Geldof," "I don't doubt for a nanosecond that they have the best of intentions." "This illusion made something that turned out to be a failure go down in history as a magnificent triumph." "It enabled the politicians to make a deal with celebrities that they could walk away from when we had turned off the spotlight." "Everybody came out on top." "Except for you." "But best of all, it inspired many more of our celebrities to try to make the world a better place." "I've actually been doing charity work my entire life." "Even though their well-intentioned actions are often counterproductive, we present their deeds as being wholly successful." "In return, we get the keys to power in global affairs, which is precisely where we need to be to gain unrestricted access to the next generation." "The other day, we were waiting on the air, and I remember him saying, "Why are they keeping me on hold?"" "and I was like, "Son, don't worry,"" ""I bet they've got other things to talk about."" "I think he was coming on after 50 Cent or something." "He was coming on after Justin Timberlake." "And he was like," ""I don't need to wait for him, I'm the star!"" "Get out here!" "Make some noise for my boy!" "CHEERING AND APPLAUSE" "You want to see him dance?" "CHEERING AND APPLAUSE" "DANCE BEAT PLAYS" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go, Shawty!" "Go, Shawty!" "Go, Shawty!" "Go, Shawty!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Work it out!" "Work it out!" "Work it out!" "Somebody scream!" "SCREAMING" "All right, everyone!" "Hi!" "What I want to know from you, by a show of hands, is, who in this room would like to be famous?" "Now you know how we are able to use this one simple thing to control so much of your world."

"I wasn't sure if you'd show." "Thought there might be some trouble at home." "Merely a family dispute." "Your last "family dispute" nearly ended in a coup d'etat." "What did your brother do this time?" "He died." "No more coups in Maurice's future." "Or mine." "Did you bring the file?" "You're gonna make billions of dollars with this." "I want to make sure I get my cut." "John, you have been a valuable ally these last five years." "I could never forget that." "You will get what you deserve." "Good." "You know, my bosses in Langley will know I copied that list." "They're gonna come looking for me, if they're not already." "Don't worry." "There's nothing your CIA bosses can do to you now." "Pierre Batouala." "Current president of Chad, thanks to the CIA." "Last night his status went from blue to red." "He'll be our first official target for the government." "John Little was his CIA handler." "He was found dead in an alley in Paris yesterday." "Just before his death, Little stole a list containing the names of every covert American operative working overseas in the oil industry." "If Batouala proves CIA involvement, he can kick the American oil companies out of his country and make a sweetheart deal with the Russians." "He's attending a reception in Paris tomorrow night." "There, he'll hand over the file to a Russian intelligence officer." "We need to take Batouala out of the party and retrieve the list before he meets with the Russians." "You're talking about another assassination." "Something we keep saying Division doesn't do anymore." "The list changes things." "Batouala's seen it." "American agents all over the world will be exposed if we don't find him and make that list disappear." "So go do your magic trick for the president." "You don't need me." "What now?" "Our resident Russian oil heiress was supposed to be the way in." "Division managed long before there was an Alexandra Udinov." "Get me a way into the party." "I'll deal with Batouala myself." "Nikita, what are you doing?" "Come on, you've read the file, okay?" "Batouala's not some innocent." "He runs a corrupt government who tortures and murders anyone who gets in his way." "Sounds like half the people on the president's speed dial." "You know what?" "Forget I asked." "Michael can run the Op without you." "That was probably a bit of an overstatement, but I'm sure he's gonna try his very best." "Paris mission's still on." "If we don't go through with this, a lot of innocent people could die." "People inside the CIA, or the people inside of here?" "Both." "So you're trying to win over Danforth and the President." "As long as they see Division as an asset, they won't try and wipe us out." "If it's the life of one really bad guy versus 300 lives, guess who loses?" "We're supposed to be cleaning this place up, Nikita, not making it dirty again." "It's not like it was before." "No one's holding a gun to anyone's head anymore." "I have the gun now and I choose when and if I want to use it." "It's under control." "As long as the government is calling the shots, we'll never be in control." "Commander Danforth, we are go on your mission." "I told the CIA to back off Batouala, worry instead about extracting their agents if they're exposed." "That should give us some breathing room for a few days." "The team will be in Paris by morning." "Nikita's been added to the pre-cleared list." "She won't have any trouble getting through security." "Should I be worried about the change?" "What happened to the Udinov girl?" "Given Alex's high profile, her presence might raise questions." "We decided to go for a quieter way in." "Why aren't you going, Alex?" "You have nothing to wear?" "There's something else going on." "Hi, it's me." "I have a job for you." "Batouala's death has to look like a heart attack in front of 500 people-- nothing can blow back on us." "Plus the heart attack gives us cover to search his body for the drive." "Yes, Ryan and I will run the Op from his office." "No one else knows about the blue files, and we have to keep it that way." "Why not tell them?" "I mean, this would be a lot easier with Ops backing us up." "If they find out about Danforth's contingency plan" "They'd run." "It's hard enough tracking down 30 rogue agents." "Imagine looking for 300." "Hey." "You're quiet." "You okay with this?" "I don't know." "But if you're going," "I'll be there to watch your back." "I just never thought I'd be getting a kill order from you." "It's funny, from what Alex said," "I kind of expected this mission to involve slaughtering puppies or something." "She just doesn't think we should be working for the President." "Is that gonna be a problem for you?" "I'll tell you when we get back." "You know, honestly, I'm not sure what's been going on with her lately." "She's been a lot different since we got her back." " Different how?" " More driven." "More forceful with her opinions, less willing to compromise or give in." "I mean, honestly she reminds me of what she was like when I first met her." "Yeah, that reminds me of Nikita." "Look, Alex was stuck with Amanda for three days." "That's bound to put anyone on edge." "Haven't been to Paris in a while." "I think you'll enjoy it, Zoe." "It's a bit rainy this time of year, but the trip should be lucrative for you." "Nikita's really going to assassinate the president of Chad?" "Where do I come in?" "You want me to stop her?" "Oh, no." "No, in fact I want you to help her." "♪ Nikita 3x15 ♪ Inevitability Original air date on March 29, 2013" "== sync, corrected by elderman ==" "You don't sleep." "You're always working on some secret project." "You barely speak to me except to bite my head off if I ask a question." "Just tell me what's wrong." "There's nothing to tell." "Nothing at all?" "Not even why that thing is sitting on your desk?" "Birkhoff, I got your... message." "And what did it say?" "Since Seymour won't talk, maybe you can?" "I know you're all hiding something." "You and your super friends are either locked behind closed doors or pretending not to fight in the briefing room." "Yes, we've noticed." "Sometimes people think they want the truth, and then they get it and they wish they didn't know." "We stayed because we were promised there would be no more lies." "You're right." "You deserve the truth." "And the truth is... everyone's overreacting." "Nikita's always saying how we're a family." "Families usually don't get along that well." "What were you gonna do, tell her everything?" "Aren't you tired of lying?" "I'm tired of all of it." "Nikita just keeps saying that this is her choice." "Well, Danforth threatened to wipe out Division." "It's not a choice." "It's a hostage crisis." "It's like Oversight and Clean Sweep all over again." "That made me think." "If there's one thing I've learned from Oversight, it's that everybody has a weakness." "Even the guy holding the gun on you." "If we could figure out a way to prove that Danforth isn't trustworthy," "Ryan and Nikita would finally have to open their eyes." "That's a really good idea." "I just don't think that some dirty little secret from his past is gonna cut it." "We need to know what he's up to now." "Where he goes." "Who he talks to." "What he's hiding." "So you're gonna tail him?" "We're gonna tail him." "After we search is apartment." "Uh, should I bring a gun?" " Absolutely not." " Maybe we need disguises." "Maybe you should just say here." "Okay, no, no." "We don't need-- we don't need disguises." "Should we tell the others?" "I think maybe we should wait until we have something a little bit more concrete." "Besides, they're gonna be very busy in Paris." "♪" "The wine is a gift for President Batouala." "Miss Lewis, I am President Batouala's head of security." " Hi." " About your gift." "My men must examine the bottle." "Check it for tampering." " Oh." " X-ray its contents." "Allow me to show you to President Batouala's table." "Okay." "Nikita's in." "Sean, Owen." "You set?" "Yeah, I'm in position." "But why am I the guy refilling drinks?" "You're an ex-cleaner." "Seemed like a good fit." "Tonight you can clean tables." "All right." "I'll need a different acid for flatware." "At least you're inside." "I'm stuck out here with the world's chattiest frenchman." "I think this guy bathes in garlic." "Miss Lewis, it is a pleasure to meet you." "President Batouala, it's an honor." "I must admit, I was not familiar with your work until I received your interview request." "I was most impressed with your piece on President Putin." "Ah." "I did not know he played piano." "You wouldn't believe the pictures you can find online of that guy." "Yes, he's the most interesting man." "Sir, a gift from Miss Lewis." "I thought some wine was a nice way to start our new working relationship." "An excellent idea." "I'll need a waiter for this." "How did you know that wine was a passion of mine?" "Oh, a good journalist always does her research." "We think that you have a wonderful life story to share." "And also all the advances that you're doing for your people." "So big." "Thank you." "The wine is breathing." "Wait for Nikita to confirm he has taken the drug, then move to your secondary positions." "A toast..." "To my lovely guest, Miss Lewis." "I look forward to our time together, and I hope that you find me as interesting as Mr. Putin." "Cheers." "You know, I should be writing this down." "I can open my piece with your words." "30 seconds to deactivate the alarm." "15 more seconds, and we're toast." "Danforth works at the White House, cracking his security ain't like knocking over a lemonade stand." "It's probably a longer prison sentence, too." "23 character alphanumeric alarm code." "This guy is hard core." "You don't get out very much." "That's what I keep saying." "Two hours until he gets off work." "I'm going to check upstairs." "Seriously?" "I could not get my mind off my people." "No matter where I was, my heart is always with them." "And so I knew what I had to do." "Take my knowledge and wisdom and share it with them, be the..." "When's that heart attack coming?" "Not soon enough." "Hasn't it been 15 minutes already?" "No." "Try 4 1/2." "Should have shot him." "Your sacrifice is truly unbelievable." "Sir, your other guest has arrived." "She's early." "I was not expecting her for another hour." "She's early?" "President Batouala, I hope you haven't double-booked on me?" "There's another buyer?" "Unless he's using the gala to speed date." "It can't be the Russian." "She's still at the airport, stuck in immigration." "Okay, Owen, can you get us eyes on our party crasher?" "I don't know who I'm looking for." "You want to give me a clue?" "Maybe the Chinese?" "Table 46." "Red dress." "Pardon me, Miss Lewis, I'll only be a moment." "I'm going to need a stronger drink." "Miss Vitsin?" "Zoe?" "It's not the Chinese." "It's Zoe." "What the hell is a rogue Division agent doing here?" "She's pretending to be the Russian buyer." "Target is down!" "She's on the move!" "Sean, Zoe will exit the south side of the building." "Be there to grab her before she hits the street." "Unh!" "Uhh!" "Aah!" "Just like the old days, huh, Nikita?" "Yeah." "When I was kicking your ass, that did feel familiar." "Hmph!" "Who sent you, Zoe?" "Gotta be Amanda." "Man, she's pissed at you." "So, what, you're her little minion now?" "I gotta warn you, it didn't really work out for the last one." "I'm just here doing a job." "For a lot of money." "A free agent." "Unh!" "I'm here." "Where'd she go?" "I didn't see her." "Did she double back?" "She must have had another escape plan." "She knew we'd be here tonight." " What do we do now?" " We find her." "And that damn list." "Did you know Division was in Paris last night?" "No." "I guess Fletcher was hoping we wouldn't find out that they had a hand in this." "I need to speak with him." "Get him" "I don't think that's a good idea." "Madame President, our primary concern should be protecting you." "You need to maintain whatever plausible deniability you can." "You're already too exposed on this Division issue." "Your recommendation?" "Well..." "You've been more than fair to Fletcher." "But history keeps repeating itself." "Division can't play by the rules because it was created outside of them." "A clean-up is not possible." "The only option is containment." "I didn't want it to come to this." "Commander Danforth, it's time to put our affairs in order." "Sean Pierce was on a mission without Alex?" "I guess he really is their first new recruit." "Glad you're happy." "Where's my money?" "Still impatient, I see." "Look, this job burned me." "Completely." "Every intelligence agency in the world knows my face now, and I only agreed to do that because you promised me so much money that I'd never have to work again." "Well, here you are." "Payment in full." "What am I supposed to do with this?" "Leak it on the Internet?" "This list is valuable." "Auction it off to the highest bidder and you'll have more money than you could spend in a lifetime." "I don't have time for that." "I need to disappear now." "Well, there's always the Russians." "They came back from Paris empty-handed." "You should call them." "They were gonna give that "Bahtoola" guy billions." "I only need millions." "Batouala." "Though I suppose it doesn't make a difference now." "Thanks for everything, Amanda." "Best of luck on your war against Division." "Hope you get 'em." "Be careful, Zoe." "Nikita can't be happy." "She planned such a lovely assassination, and we ruined it for her." "She will be hunting us both." "I'm not gonna lose any sleep over that." "From what you said, Nikita's gonna be too busy to worry about little old me." "Tell me you have a lead on that bitch." "Which one?" "There's no sign of Zoe or Amanda." "They must have been after the list." "Zoe did say she was gonna make a lot of money if she sold the list." "Nerd, find out who Batouala was talking to." "The Russians can't be the only ones who contacted him." "And also, figure out who the original buyer was he was meeting with." "Where's Birkhoff?" "We're sure we're tracking the right cell phone?" "Still no movement." "What is he doing out here all this time?" "I don't know." "Camping?" "Nikita wants to know where we are." "Outlet shopping?" "Come on, who's gonna believe that?" "I spoofed our cell signals before we left Division." "They think we're in Elizabeth." "We should probably get back." "It's gonna be all hands on deck." "Then they have plenty of hands." "They don't need ours." "You've got to tell me what happened in South Ossetia." "Ever since you came back, you've been all," ""I am Alex, hear me roar."" "Birkhoff, you ever think maybe we're not changing Division?" "Maybe it's changing us?" "Every day." "You know, say what you will about Percy." "At least the guy was actively evil." "He made a decision to cross the line." "We just keep letting ourselves get pushed over it." "Nikita thinks it's the only way to protect all of us." "Just these four missions." "Hmph." "It's not gonna be just four." "Exactly." "That's why we can't go back just yet." "We need more on Danforth." "More than just his tax returns and the contents of his sock drawer." "Let's go." "Hey." "Where are you going?" "Unh!" "I'm beginning to think life in the field isn't as glamorous as it looks from Ops." "At least you haven't been kidnapped or arrested yet." "Don't jinx it." "We're not out of the woods yet." "I didn't see anything on the map about a military base around here." " No, this can't be a base." " So what are they doing here?" "Gentlemen, you are familiar with the facility." "But now I'm going to brief you on its location and the nature of your mission." "Looks like they're building something over there." "Doesn't look guarded, though." "Come on." "Nice camo scarf, by the way." "Gee, thanks." "What is this place?" "This is a kill house." "They must be planning a mission." "This will be challenging." "Our enemy is well trained." "And heavily armed." "Their compound, an underground maze with only one way in or out." "They call it "Division."" "Now, we've studied this structure and its inhabitants for months." "We've rehearsed this assault many times." "Before we head to the staging area, gentlemen, we're gonna run the course again." "I don't like the looks of this." "They're running a drill." "Come on." "All right, bring it in." "All right, let's go back." "Let's check our time." "Dominika Vitsin, the SVR agent we delayed in Paris." "The real buyer." "She's on her way to New York right now." "Flight lands in three hours." "She still wants that list." "Any idea where the sale's gonna be?" "Well, we've been monitoring Dominika's known associates, she called one of them just before a flight." "This guy runs a nightclub near Chinatown." "He put Dominika and her friend on the VIP list tonight." "Ugh, I guess we're going clubbing." "Except for you." "Dead men can't make page six." "I hate being the dead guy." "Hey, a couple more months, the world won't even know you existed." "We may not have a few more months." " Hey." "Where have you been?" " Witnessing our impending doom." " We were following Danforth." " Are you insane?" "What would happen if he had seen you?" "We followed him right to his secret training facility where they've been planning an attack on Division." "All right, what do you mean, "attack"?" "They built a kill house, a replica of this facility in the middle of the woods." "All right, well we know that the President has a contingency plan, but it doesn't mean that she's gonna execute it." "No, no, no." "We saw them." "They were packing up, taking their show on the road." "They must have a staging area closer to Division." "They're getting ready to move against us." "Fletcher." "What can I do for you?" "I wanted to update you." "We've got a solid lead on the assassin." "Should be taken care of by morning." "I appreciate the update." "I'm sure the situation will resolve itself." "I was thinking, perhaps I should speak with President Spencer." "Let her know we're on top of this." "That's not gonna happen." "May I ask why not?" "Fletcher, there are certain conversations the President cannot have." "Not if she wants to stay president." "Plausible deniability." "So the way I protect her is" "I have those conversations for her." "So she doesn't have to." "Why would the President order this?" "She's the one who asked us to kill Batouala." "I don't think she was." "The President didn't hand me those files," "Danforth did." "Given the conversation we just had," "I doubt the President has any idea." "This was all him." " He set us up." " Now he's gonna let us die." "What if we kill Danforth?" "He's the only one the President briefed about Division." "If he's gone, that buys us some time." "We can shore up our defenses, tell people to run." "Something." "Alex, we can't." "The life of one really bad guy versus 300 people's lives." "Remember?" "It's not the same thing." "Why not?" "You're talking about declaring war against the United States government." "I don't know if you've been paying attention, but the government's already declared war." "On all of us." "No, they haven't." "No shots have been fired." "There's still time." "To do what?" "Plead for mercy?" "To do what Division does." "Control the narrative." "Stay invisible." "If we get Zoe, we can build a cover story and tie up all those loose ends." "The President doesn't know what we were doing in Paris." "She thinks we've gone rogue." "If we can prove to her that we haven't." "Then maybe she'll stand down." "I think this is our only chance of surviving this." "You thought we were working for the president." "Maybe it's time you let someone else do the thinking." "Hey, hey." "He made a mistake." "Not his first." "That was lying to every single person at Division about the danger that they were in." "Including us." "We didn't deserve that." "Neither did they." "You can all stop worrying about Zoe." "We have a much bigger threat to deal with." "It's time you all learned the truth about Division." "And the men the government is sending to kill us." "So you're going to walk into Ops and then what?" "Stop her." "With force, if necessary." "Or even unnecessary." "Hey, hey, that's gonna make things worse." "Nikita, it's done." "They know." "But if you and Alex start battling it out, it's gonna make everyone panic." "You need to remain calm." "Remain calm?" "She has them planning the assassination of one of the President's top advisors." "They're gonna kill him and then they're gonna run." "That is of course, if Alex's little rebellion doesn't cause a full-on mutiny first." "I think there's more to this than some rebellion." "I don't." "Ever since South Ossetia, she has been impossible to talk to." "She blames me for the death of that girl." "Because saving Alex wasn't enough." "I had to let Ari die too." "She's upset." "She's punishing me." "Willing to destroy Division just to spite you?" "After everything you've done for her, she should be grateful." "I'm sure Amanda would agree with that sentiment." " That is not fair." " But it is true." "That is why Amanda sent Zoe to Paris." "This is exactly what she has wanted all along." "Turn us against each other." "And I know that sounded crazy in the beginning, but just stand here right now and tell me that it's not working." "How could you keep this from me?" "I'm sorry." "I wanted to tell you." "But you didn't, you kept lying and pretending and saying I was imagining things." "What else have you been hiding?" "Heh." "How much time do you got?" "I don't know." "Somebody just told me that I might be about to die." "Tighten up in there." "Everyone..." "I know what you've heard." "And Alex was not lying to you." "I didn't tell you about Danforth and his contingency plan, because I thought that I could make him happy and keep you safe." "But I was wrong." "What no one has told you is that there is still a way to fix this." "We just disagree on how to fix it." "Maybe killing Danforth is the smart play." "But it is going to start a war that we cannot win." "We don't need to win." "We need to survive." "So that we can run and hide for the rest of our lives?" "We had that choice, remember?" "We stayed because we wanted more than that." "What's our other option?" "Do we even have one?" "We find Zoe." "She is the assassin that they're looking for." "The President doesn't really know what happened in Paris." "If we can prove to her that we're not the threat, she will call off the raid." "You can't be sure of that." "I am sure that Zoe will sell that file tonight." "Once that happens, we cannot control the fallout." "Zoe will disappear." "The President will give the order and..." "There will be no turning back." "There's already no turning back." "Which is why, once we get Zoe, we will deal with commander Danforth." "That I promise you." "♪ Aw, yeah, rock and roll ♪" "♪ move your body, let's lose control ♪" "♪ on the bottom, we let it go ♪" "♪ everybody, let's lose control ♪" "♪ on the bottom, we let it go ♪" "Ms. White." "Please sit." "I took the liberty of ordering some champagne." "I hope you won't be offended if I don't drink." "There's a good chance you might be holding that whole," ""stealing the list out from under your nose" thing against me." "I would never be so petty." "But I can appreciate your cautious nature." "Even if caution doesn't seem to fit with someone who assassinates a head of state in front of 500 witnesses." "It's my last job." "I wanted it to be special." "Can I see the list?" "This is what we're looking for." "How much do you want for it?" "Where's everybody going?" "Is there a gas leak or something?" "Nothing to worry about, we're just clearing the room for your party." "So you don't know what party she's talking about?" " Alexandra Udinov." " Party for two." "Unh!" "Aah!" "I got the drive." "Ops, the file is secure." "Our cover story is ready for pickup." "Interpol has confirmed that the assassin who killed" "President Batouala, leader of Chad, has been found dead along with another woman." "Those close to the investigation say both women were members of the Russian foreign intelligence service." "Russian officials have denied any involvement in the assassination, but do not appear to dispute that these women were, in fact, agents of their government." "Oh, they are getting good at this." "Danforth." "Hello, Evan, my name is Amanda." "We've never met, but I believe you're familiar with the organization I used to run." " How did you get this number?" " I ran Division." "Getting your number's the least difficult thing" "I've done in a decade." "Yes, I'm sure your credentials are impressive." "Why are you calling me?" "I'm trying to help." "And if I'm right, you don't have a lot of time left." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Some kind of threat?" "Good evening, Commander Danforth." "Sorry to bother you at home." "I have to go now." "I had a feeling you might." "You double-crossed us." "The blue files." "The secret training facility in Virginia." "Have a seat." "We know everything." "And your solution is to kill me?" "This time next week there will be a new guy to take my place." "No." "It's not to kill you." "I want you to stay exactly where you are." "Right next to the President, under Division's thumb." "Holding a gun on me doesn't carry the power you think it does." "May I ask you something?" "You were briefed on Percy's Black Boxes, right?" "All the jobs Division did for the government?" "They're all destroyed." "Except one." "Amanda has that." "Not anymore." "Division retrieved it, unlocked the box, and today we opened up a new file." "Hey, Ops." "I think I have his attention now." "I told the CIA to back off Batouala." "Worry instead about extracting their agents if they're exposed." "That should give us some breathing room for a few days." " Fletcher recorded that call?" " Yeah." "We don't trust the government." "Weird, right?" "Here's the list." "Last job we ever do for you." "So what's your plan?" "You getting back into the mercenary business?" "We're going to finish the job that we promised the President we would do." "We're gonna find rogue agents and we're gonna shut Division down." "Until then you're gonna stay out of our way, or every little dirty government secret will be exposed, including yours." "You know, I can't tell whether you think you're a patriot or not, but I guarantee you don't want to go down as a traitor." "I'd fit in to Division though, wouldn't I?" "A bunch of criminals that should have been taken out years ago." "Yeah, we're criminals." "We're the best trained, most highly armed, wired-in criminals in the world." "Maybe you should have thought of that before you messed with us." "Sweet dreams, Commander." "Agents of the Russian government?" "Yes, ma'am." "Zoe was a freelance assassin working with the Russians." "Division tried to grab her in Paris." "They were unable to prevent the assassination, but they did stop Zoe and retrieve the list." "France is happy." "Russia less so." "I can live with those results." "And what about Division?" "Should I have the SEAL team stand down?" "I don't know." "This mess never would have happened if Division didn't exist." "With all due respect, ma'am, it would have still happened." "But if Division didn't exist, there wouldn't have been anyone there to clean it up." "Those rogue agents are still out there." "And Division is doing what we asked them to do." "They're stopping them." "I never expected you to advocate for them so strongly." "It's my job to look at all the angles." "Maybe I was hasty in sanctioning an action against them."

"That's excellent." "Go on."

""And who performed that heroic act?"" ""Why, you did, sir." ""You." "Dr. Sheldon Cooper." "And may I add, it is a privilege to know you."" ""There's no need for compliments."

"And yet you wound up in traffic court." "Anyway, if it would please the court," "I'd like to begin with an opening statement." "The court would advise you to make it quick, as the court had a dicey-looking breakfast burrito this morning and just took an Imodium." "Very well." "A quick opening statement." "Like a milking stool, my case rests on three legs." "I will demonstrate that I was improperly instructed in driving by a woman whose lack of respect for society borders on the sociopathic." "I will argue that the emergency met the legal doctrine of quod est necessarium est licitum-- that which is necessary is legal." "But first," "I will raise a Sixth Amendment issue."

"I would point out that I am at the top of my profession, while you preside over the kiddy table of yours." "Dr. Cooper, before I find you in contempt and throw you in jail, I'm going to give you a chance to apologize for that last remark." "I am a scientist." "I never apologize for the truth." "That's my spot." "♪ I can't wait to ask Stan Lee why he insists on giving all his characters first and last names that start with the same letter." "Oh, come on." "Why would you do that?" "Bruce Banner, Reed Richards," "Sue Storm, Stephen Strange," "Otto Octavius, Silver Surfer," "Peter Parker, oh, and worst of all," "J. Jonah Jameson, Jr." "Okay, I'm cutting." "I'm not gonna talk to Stan Lee after you cheese him off." "Hey." "Sheldon's in jail." "Sheldon's in jail?" "!" "You called it." "What do you think?" "For what?" "For doing the same crap he always does, except to a judge." "He has to stay in there until he apologizes." "So tell him to apologize." "Oh, gee, thanks, Leonard." "That didn't occur to me." "If he doesn't apologize by 5:00, he is going to spend the night in jail." "Oh, no, that's terrible." "Ooh, the line's moving." "Got to go." "Bye." "Excuse me?" "Excuse me, jailor?" "What?" "I need to use the restroom." "Knock yourself out." "That's the toilet?" "Well, it ain't a wishing well." "Please tell the judge I'm ready to apologize." "Look at that." ""To my friend, Leonard." "From Stan Lee, Excelsior!"" "Awesome." "Mine says, "To my friend, Howard." "From Stan Lee, Excelsior!"" "Mine says, "To Raj, from Stan Lee."" "That's 'cause you pissed him off about his character names." "Hey," "I didn't even mention Dum Dum Dugan or Green Goblin," "Matt Murdock, Pepper Potts," "Victor Von Doom, oh, and worst of all," "Millie the Model." "We're home." "Oh, hey, buddy." "How'd it go?" "You know very well how it went." "Yeah, but we all want to hear it from you." "I was found guilty and fined $533." "I'm going to write you a check for that." "As long as you promise to put it in your drawer and never cash it, like the others." "I also now have three points on a driver's license I do not yet possess, and I was forced to issue an undeserved apology, simply because I refuse to urinate in a stainless steel bowl in front of criminals." "Plus, you didn't get to meet Stan Lee." "Okay, that's enough, Howard." "The poor guy's had a tough time." "He had to spend the entire afternoon in jail wearing that suit." "You're right, so it would be cruel to mention that after he finished signing autographs," "Stanley took Stuart and us out for gelato." "You had gelato with Stan Lee?" "He said we could call him Stan." "Except for Raj." "Well, I hope you're satisfied, Penny." "You are responsible for all the evil that has befallen me today." "Okay, I realize that..." "Not finished." "It is because of you that I now have a criminal record, and it is because of you that I missed out on having gelato with Stan Lee." "Okay, maybe you'll have another chance to have..." "No, no." "I will never have another chance to have gelato with Stan Lee because opportunities to have gelato with Stan Lee come but once in a lifetime." ""The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on!"" "Did he just somehow give me the finger?" "Not just the finger." "The moving finger." "Hey, Stuart." "Oh, hey, Penny." "Wow." "Hi." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "I'm just getting ready to close up and... head out." "Ah." "Cool." "Got any fun plans?" "Oh, yeah." "Big night tonight." "Gonna share a can of tuna with the cat." "Oh, nice." "Not even my cat." "I just feed it." "Some nights it doesn't even show up." "Oh, okay." "Well, I was hoping, um, you could do me a favor." "Sure, yeah, name it." "Well, I'm kind of responsible for Sheldon missing Stan Lee, and I really want to make it up to him." "So I was hoping you could give me his phone number so maybe I can arrange for them to meet." "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have his phone number." "Hmm." "Damn." "Mm." "All right." "Thank you." "Mm-hmm." "Wait." "I have his address." "Really?" "Great!" "But I can't give it to you." "Then why did you tell me you had it?" "I don't know." "Just chatting." "You're looking at a guy who could very well get stood up by a stray cat tonight." "I'm sorry, Stuart." "Thanks anyway." "Mm-hmm." "Wait." "Yeah?" "Maybe we can make a deal." "What kind of deal?" "I will give you the address if you go to my cousin's wedding with me." "You're extorting a date out of me?" "I kind of have to." "The cousin who's getting married is the cousin I usually go to weddings with." "Can I bring Leonard?" "Sure." "What the hell." "Deal." "We'll tell people he's your cousin." "This is Stan Lee's front door." "We were on Stan Lee's curb, then we were on Stan Lee's walk, and now we're at Stan Lee's front door." "Yup." "Oh, Lord, you just rang Stan Lee's doorbell." "At Stan Lee's house." "We're about to go in and have milk and cookies with Stan Lee." "Okay, sweetie, I don't know if we're gonna have cookies, or he's just gonna say hi, or really what's gonna happen, so just let me talk, and we'll... ?" "Yeah?" "Are you Stan Lee?" "Oh, damn." "Hi." "I'm Penny." "This is my friend, Sheldon." "We're not friends at the moment." "Depends on how this goes." "Right, right." "Anyway," "Sheldon here is a huge fan of yours, and he was supposed to meet you the other day at the comic book store, but he kind of ended up in jail." "I see." "And you thought you'd just come over to my house uninvited?" "You said we were invited." "Oh, no, no, I said I'm inviting you to come with me to Stan Lee's house." "You know, you fan boys are unbelievable." "Do you think you can just ring my doorbell any time you want?" "I mean, why don't you just come on in and watch the Lakers game with me?" "Well, I'm not much of a sports fan, but thank you." "I'm sorry." "He doesn't really understand sarcasm." "Well, I'll give him something he'll understand." "Joanie, call the police!" "Nice to meet you." "Fantastic Four, Daredevil," "Invincible Iron Man," "Happy Hogan, Curt Connors..." "Would you just let it go?" "And worst of all, Fin Fang Foom." "Hey, where've you been?" "I'll tell you where I've been." "You boys may have had gelato with Stan Lee and gotten autographed comics, but I saw the inside of his house and got an autographed application for a restraining order." "Sweet." "Plus, I get to hang out with him again at the hearing." "This is going to look great hanging next to my restraining order from Leonard Nimoy."

"AAll day long in this too countrified house, which seemed more like a backwood shelter, its wallpaper awash with apple trees in the Japanese style to hallucinate the hours you spend in bed, I spent all day in my bedroom" "with its view of sweet greenery and lilac, the leaves of the tall trees down by the shimmering water and Meseglise Forest." "I enjoyed this view because I thought it was so nice to have all this greenery in my window..." "Until, in the vista of green, I recognized, etched dark blue in the distance, the belfry of Combray church." "That beIfry seems so natural and distinguished." "Laugh if you Iike." "It's not classically beautiful but I Iike its strange old face." "If it played the piano, it wouldn't play crispIy." "I'II be back tomorrow evening." "And gone the day after?" "I'm sorry, GiIberte." "I forgot I have to meet a local man in Paris." "CouIdn't you..." "I don't know..." "call him and say..." "Sorry, no." "I'm terribly sorry." "Do you believe me?" "feel how quick my heart beats." "abnormally quick." "Because of you." "I hate to see you so sad." "I feel guilty." "You can't believe how guilty." "You're overdoing it, Robert." "By far." "GiIberte!" "Won't you kiss me?" "What are you reading?" "May I see?" "The Goncourts' journal." "It's fun." "They write about Papa and people he knew." " May I borrow it?" " Take it." "Read it on the train." "I'm keeping that one." "The Girl with Eyes of Gold." "It's very improper!" "I know it." "It's admirable." "You think so?" "Those women are jealous only of women." "For others, man is the enemy, the one who brings the wrong caress." "I was miserable when my fiancee loved another man." "But not half as miserable as if she'd loved women." "That fiancee..." "Did you love her as much as me?" "Because you claim to have loved me." "Perhaps not." "She wasn't your equal." "But still, I really loved her." "Did she love women?" "I think so." "I'm not sure." "Here." "You should remember her." "AIbertine." "You told me she was disreputable." "I said that?" "If I did, you misunderstood." "I was talking about flirting with boys." "And at that age, nothing much happens." "You know what I think?" "We're talking too much." "And forgetting to eat." "I think that when you stop loving a woman and see her again, years later..." "Between you and her, there's death." "As if she'd passed away because your love is over." "You mean I'm dead?" "I'm only thinking about all those questions that once tormented me but are of no interest to me now." "Such as?" "The time I saw you on the Champs elysees with a young man." "unless it was a young woman." "You have no idea how sad it made me." "I thought:" "It's over." "I'II never see her again." "I think I remember." "Don't try to." "It's not worth the effort." "That's what's so awful." "Heartbreak... can kill... but leaves no trace." "shall I say who it was?" "please pick up the pieces and throw them away." "Wash them, then put them in my mahogany box." "AIbertine..." "Did you see that man?" "At this very moment, Robert is doing important business with him." "They had a meeting in Paris." " Did he recognize you?" " I don't know." "Robert doesn't even brief his cohorts any more." "I'm too tired to confound him." "I'm weary." "Weary of all these lies." "It may be my fault." "Women who wallow in their woe dig their own graves." "I'm mishandIing it." "Has he mentioned this rachel?" "Don't answer." "Robert's your friend, too." "That's not GiIberte's signature." "I tell you it is." "Look." "That's an A, not a G." "You're teasing me." "I say what I see." "That's an A. And that's an N." "It's not." "It is." "Libertinage" "He sends a bouquet a night." "It's sweet, but after the twentieth, you start thinking." "They must be hiding something." "Something fishy." "I'm not one for gossip but friends say" "Robert's a liar, to himself and everyone." "But he's a bad liar when you catch him with morel." "The love in his eyes says it all." "I don't know..." "I can't believe it." "What do you think?" "Am I crazy to love him?" "Strawberries in ether!" "Like kissing snow." "Did you read Le Figaro?" "This week brings more proof that the arts are society's true movers and shakers." "Good." "The scandal... caused by the performance of Profanation is another example of art's impact on its audience." "How amusing!" " Leaving already?" " I'm expected." "May I ask by whom?" "An algebra class." "Didn't I tell you?" " And our dinner?" " Another time." "You know what I'm thinking?" "If I ever find out you're unfaithful I'II leave you at once." "You must always be faithful to me." "absolutely faithful." "Starting here, where everything starts." "talking to yourself?" "No, to you." "To me?" "What were you saying?" "That's our secret." "Secrets shouIdn't be repeated." "How was your algebra class?" "I'd rather have been here with you." "charlie?" "Who is this woman?" "It's a Iong story." "Someone begged me to find her photo." "She's an actress." "An admirer?" "A future lover?" "It's a boring story." "I'm counting on you, marcel." "I know GiIberte trusts you." "You'II tell her better than I that I still love her." "There's the other woman, too." "Though I Iove her less than GiIberte." "But she gives such ample proof of her affection." "I'm her first love!" "Here..." "Read this letter." "She writes that she'II never be happy without me." "Before me, she had no one." "No one else in her life." "GiIberte!" "What's she up to?" "I feel I'm intruding." "Not at all." "We were discussing the balkan war." "I suggest you continue over dinner." "It's ready." "Pardon me." "I must have caught a chill." "Why are you staring at me?" "Does my headdress astound you?" "Do you Iike it?" "It's not at all you." "If I'm too me, you don't see me." "Cheer up!" "I'm in excellent spirits." "Make the most of it." "Come, Iet me show you something." "You remember that mishap?" "You were angry for ages." "Now I've done as I should." "The cup is fixed, Iike all the others." "Reading the Goncourts'Journal made me feel strangely disturbed." "They wrote about a dinner party at the Verdurins'house." "Doctor Cottard and his wife were the the Polish sculptor Virovski, Swann the collector, a grand Russian princess." "Swann said she had shot dead AArchduke Rudolph." "...Yung Cheng plates with their nasturtium borders and bluish, swollen iris blooms." "Dresden plates, daintier in their craftsmanship, their anemic roses turning violet." "Sevres plates, meshed with the guilloche of their fIuting." "And, what is perhaps as rare is the superb quality of the food served on them." "finely simmered delicacies, the likes of which Parisians, it must be said, never find at the grandest dinners." "What a pleasure it must be to dine off such fine plates!" "You don't know my husband!" "He's singIe-minded." "Pretty things don't interest him." "He'd be happier drinking cider in a cool Normandy farmhouse!" "You know Normandy?" "You Westerners cannot understand how a writer can penetrate a woman's innermost depths." "You're a writer yourself." "A good one." "You have no idea how successful you'd be in my country." "When my brother died, every woman in Moscow wore a black ribbon around her thigh!" "About Normandy, I know EIstir's landscapes." "Such delicate pastels..." "EIstir?" "I taught him all he knows about flowers!" "He couldn't tell an aIthea from a hollyhock!" "And I taught him to recognize jasmine." "It's true." "Without my wife that flower painter, now hailed as the best, couldn't have painted jasmine." "I taught him flower arranging." "He had no idea!" "How often I'd say, No, EIstir." "No!" "That's not worth painting!" "Paint this." "unfortunately our advice couldn't prevent his vile marriage!" "Have you noticed Mrs. Verdurin's magnificent pearl necklace?" "admirable, I agree." "black pearls." "They used to be white." "Is that so?" "My story of our hostess's pearls" "leaves Mr. Goncourt skeptical." "He's wrong." "A fire blackened them." "I kept certain jewels in a bronze box." "After the fire, we found the box." "The pearls inside... were like this." "talk about black magic!" "There's more." "The changes sometimes observed in lifeless matter also appear in the human brain." "I speak as a doctor." "I myself treated Mrs. Verdurin's valet, who almost died of shock in the fire" "well, it changed him." "His handwriting changed, but so did his innermost personality" "As if the fire awoke the monster in him." "This sober man became a drunkard." "A drunk and a liar!" "And before, he was..." "An absolute pearl!" "We had to dismiss him." "I felt vaguely disturbed." "AAfter all, I met these people daily." "I often dined with them." "The Verdurins, the Duke of Guermantes, the Cottards." "I could list every one of their countless vulgarities." "Their outward charm escaped me." "I couldn't help seeing through it, as a surgeon sees the cancer beneath a woman's smooth skin." "I dined out, but I couldn't see the guests." "For instead, I was X-raying them." "Poor MarceI is not well." "still, he writes day and night." "How many volumes?" "Ten?" "Hush!" "Or you'II tire him." "They say he's near the end." "The end of what?" "You mean..." "No, his book!" "It's almost finished." "What will he have to live for?" "How upsetting!" "I'II ask Bontemps to see to it." "Norpois had his article censored again." "AII because he hinted that Percin would be fired!" "I was in love, my Lord!" "I was in love!" "AAnd craved love in return!" "That day, I admit, I took fright." "I thought you loved me no more." "Now I see my error." "You love me still." "These are Egyptian tunics." "Dark, straight..." "Very war." "See this jewelry?" "My latest inspiration." "Made from shrapnel." "My designs were all inspired by respect for our soldiers." "What do they dream about in the trenches?" "surely, more daintiness." "For their dear wives at home." "But no excess, no misplaced luxury." "Just pretty trifles to brighten up these dismal days." "A great designer has no other way to help the war effort." "We all share that duty." "will you take some tea?" "Biscuits?" "We'II have to tighten our belts." "Food, gas, electricity..." "The Senate passed the Iaw." "Even adultery costs more!" "adultery?" "We passed that law, too." "adultery now carries a 100-franc fine plus a few days in jail." "I can't see anyone here being liable." "Do you recognize him?" "It's on the tip of my tongue." "tell me." "No." "charlie, play us something suitable for twilight." "Very well." "still no sign of Odette?" "No." "I don't know why she's stopped coming." "Maybe she's ruffled." "I'm not." "How did I upset her?" "She met both husbands here." "If she wants to come back, she's always welcome." "twelve German Dances for Piano?" "Isn't that risky?" "A tribute to my friend CharIus." "Why do you hate him so?" "Because he's so virtuous." "Bontemps is right." "You're reckless." "It's true." "That's why I'm enlisting tomorrow." "For the front." "To uphold my reputation." "Are you joking?" "You're more useful as a journalist." "I'm bored." "So what?" "I'm bored too." "I'd be even more bored without you." "I'm taking you hostage." "Beethoven!" "The nerve of her!" "Just turning up!" "She's aged." "Or am I dreaming?" "You're dreaming." "She's ravishing." "How lovely to see you!" "I'd lost hope." "How lovely to see you!" "I'd lost hope." "How is Mr. de ForcheviIIe?" "blah, blah..." "I had too much champagne." "It's so good!" "I was at TansonviIIe." "This is for you." "She's been through hell." "My GiIberte has gumption!" "The Germans don't." "They fight well, but lack what I call gumption." "Any news of Robert?" "Her husband, St-Loup?" "He speaks like a tommy." "He chats with men from faraway dominions, fraternizes with officers and humble privates." "I have a soft spot for the english." "They're so fair-pIay!" " Can we go in?" " Sorry, sir." " Fancy crowd!" " It'II be an aII-night party." "Look, there's CharIus." "With someone." "Mrs. de ForcheviIIe, I'm afraid we have to close." "The curfew's started early?" "No, it's on time." "I see." "We're being kicked out." "May I see you home?" "I'II let you out the back." "I'd rather walk alone." "Do you mind?" "No, I quite understand." "Did you hear Cottard is sick?" "Everyone says he's overworked." "It's worse than that." "Can we come in?" "alone in the dark?" "You look lost." "Mr. de Foix, being lost is of minor importance." "The problem is finding oneself." "I'm looking for CharIus." "He was here, dining with someone..." "You know how he comes and goes." "Like a ghost." "Or a spy." "You're harsh." "My father's no better." "He keeps tabs on everyone I see." "Isn't that vile, given whom he sees?" "He and St-Loup are tarred with the same brush." "They're old friends, so it could be true." "I wouldn't mind, if only he'd stop lecturing me." "It's drafty out here." "Come..." "Come meet my friends." "unless young people bore you." "A drink?" "Liqueur, champagne?" "The Grand Duke said, Everyone must rise for my wife." "The Duchess replied," "Rise for your wife?" "Men used to lie down for her grandmother!" "The Baron was just here." "He can't be far." "He ordered an armagnac." "Youth!" "They're celebrating de Mericourt's engagement to Miss d'Ambresac." "He hit the jackpot." "Just in time!" "These youngsters love to burn money they don't have." "So they go fortune-hunting." "Swap tips." "Try her." "She's ugly, but what a dowry!" "The dreadful things I overhear!" "They're ruthless predators..." "but entertaining." "Antoine!" "We're dying of thirst!" "Coming, Your Grace." "Come." "Mr. de CharIus loves chatting with the kitchen boys." "No doubt we'II find him thriving." "Mr. de Foix, is something lacking?" "As usual, but no matter." "You look so busy, I'II do your job." "Keeping warm in here?" "Good idea." "Give him a drink." "Look at our game." "The flags are war zones." "Thank you." "Just a sip." "We're studying German troop movements." "Antoine says we keep screwing up." "I don't." "I say Fritz calls all the shots." "There's some caviar." "No thanks." "I'm looking for CharIus." "You missed him." "He saw me and left, as if I were the devil." "I'm not a devil, am I?" "No, Your Highness." "Those are the devils." "Take a seat." "Have you seen this?" "Read it to me please." "German-Iovers make merry in Paris, feasting and partying despite the war." "Worse, they praise our foes and wish aloud for France's defeat." "I was thinking that more and more people, despite seeming perfectly happy and drinking excellent cocktails, complain that they can't last out the war, that their hearts can't take it, that they'II drop dead." "And strangely enough, they do!" "I've noted many such premature deaths." "Have a drink?" "An armagnac?" "Some hot milk." "In midsummer?" "Sheer folly!" "To each his folly." "How is Odette?" "still crazy about the english?" "She'd Iike my brother." "AII this absurd talk about the extraordinary lack of psychology that characterizes the German race." "The Cottards, the Cambremers..." "Between us, do you think they ever cared much about psychology?" "Norpois is more subtle, I grant you, though he's been wrong from the start." "His rabbIe-rousing newspaper stories..." "Do you read them?" "Yes, occasionally." "Brichot says that France should be more militaristic while accusing Germany of being too much so!" "He uses the harshest words to condemn the Germans cult of strength" "A dragon on its horse!" "A beautiful image, I think." "Don't you?" "AII these patriotic journalists are so untalented." "That's why they write such drivel." "They all spell koIossaI with a k but what we bow down to is truly colossal." "Speaking of Brichot, have you seen morel?" "I've heard he wants to see me." "Let him make the first move." "I'm the older one." "It's not for me to do it." "He was at Mrs. Verdurin's today." "He played German dances and nobody noticed!" "He's crazy about women." "That's all he thinks about." "There's the aII-cIear siren." "Doesn't it remind you of Wagner?" "WaIkyries shrieking in the night?" "The only German music allowed since the war began." "In case you didn't know, my dear," "I've been at TansonviIIe for 2 years now." "I got here when the Germans did." "Everyone tried to dissuade me, saying I was mad." "But I have one quality:" "I'm no coward." "Or, if you prefer, I'm loyal." "Knowing TansonviIIe was at risk," "I couldn't let our old steward defend it alone." "As a result, I've saved almost the entire property, while nearby estates were abandoned in panic and almost all destroyed." "I saved not only the house but also my dear papa's beloved collections." "You can't imagine what this war is like, my dear friend." "The importance of every road, bridge and hill..." "I often think of you and our walks, which you made so delightful, as we ambled through this scenery that now lies ravaged," "ripped by battles to capture a road or hilltop that you once loved, where we often went together." "well, these places are as famous now as AusterIitz and VaImy." "The battle of MesegIise lasted 8 months." "The Germans lost 600,000 men." "They razed MesegIise but failed to take it." "That country road you loved, the one we called Hawthorn hill, where you say you fell in love with me as a child, though I swear it was I who fell in love with you..." "I got your note." "Is it really that bad?" "I think it's the end." "He was delirious last night." "Then... he came to himself, briefly." "He said he had to get ready." "He'd attended so many deathbeds." "Now it was his turn." "He wanted to leave his papers in order." "Then he said he'd Iike to see you one last time." "You'd always been a faithful friend." "Thank you so much for coming so fast." "It's Mrs. de ForcheviIIe." "Odette..." "Make yourself comfortable." "It's so hot." "Thank you for coming." "Come here." "closer." "Do you know what I'II miss?" "Your caresses." "please, one last time." "Over there." "The box." "Open it." "It's for you." "Yes..." "Make me happy." "The worst is always unexpected." "I always used to think the worst that could happen to me" "would be that he'd go." "And leave me all alone." "But I was wrong." "The worst thing was when I found her letters." "He'd been two-timing me for years with that tramp!" "It's good that you feel so sad." "It proves you love still him." "feeling less sad would mean that you're forgetting him." "That you love him less." "You mustn't think he didn't love you." "When he was unfaithful, he took such pains to hide it" "for fear of hurting you." "He respected you." "He preferred you." "My earring!" "I've lost my earring!" "I'm glad to see you." "Me too." "I feel better already." "I'm only sorry you can't stay longer." "Here in Paris, we hardly feel the war." "You're a changed man!" "I remember you saying when people refuse to fight, it's because they don't want to die." "They're just scared." "You said you yourself were scared to return to duty." "I guess you were just being witty." "I remember." "BIoch had just been called up..." "I told them." "I'm no use." "blind as a bat!" "What's so funny?" "You're safe, parading around at staff HQ while plain privates like me get butchered by bill." "No thanks!" " I hear Kaiser WiIheIm's sick." " call him bill." "exactly." "You're scared to." "You groveI to him already." "You'd look good at the front," "licking Fritz's boots!" "You know what you are?" "privileged dandies playing at war!" "Come." "will it last long?" "What?" "No." "I anticipate a very short war." "Read the Armies Act of October 28th, 1913." "Give me that, and that..." "A little pot-pourri." "Read it, you'II see." "There are no plans to replenish the reserves." "That proves the war won't last long." "If I enlist, it will be for an ideal." "I agree with my uncle CharIus." "Effeminacy has no place in a man." "The thing that appeals to me is being with brave young men, far from women." "You understand?" "I believe in... the mental and moral nobility of manly friendships." "I'd love to risk my Iife to save my orderly." "I'd love to die inspiring my men with fanatical love." "philippe d'OrIeans, a connoisseur of young men and effeminacy," " was called Monsieur..." " I know, thanks!" "A hero of the Dutch war, right?" "But he was a quirk." "This is all very uninteresting, marcel." "You remember the bellhop at BaIbec?" "He wants to join up, as an airman." "I'II see if I can help." " Good journey, sir?" " No." "How's Mr. St-Loup?" "Isn't he due for some sea air?" "I've no idea." "tell me, friend." "Between you and me." "I've heard that Mr. St-Loup appreciates young men in a particular way." "I don't go in for that, sir." "And if it were true, I wouldn't say." "I respect the hotel's guests." "When I called you earlier, Francoise asked me to exempt some butcher's boy she likes." "A shy little chap." "She combed Paris for him." "He'd changed butchers." "She wants to save his skin." "What did you tell her?" "That I don't exempt anyone." "You haven't eaten a thing." "You'II waste away." "We need manpower!" "Some days I'm too weak to hold a pen." "Can you see me with a rifle?" "certainly not!" "You know what I think?" "It's hard to create an epic using words like Up and at 'em!" "They grate on my ears." "It sounds so affected." "So vulgar!" "Like saying coke instead of cocain." "The common people, though," "Laborers..." "Shopkeepers who never dreamed of being heroes, who'd have died of old age without knowing..." "When you see them run under fire to rescue a comrade or a wounded officer and they're hit, they die smiling." "You know why?" "Because the surgeon told them we captured the trench." "Common people are best!" "But then again, everyone's good." "Like young Vaugoubert, the ambassador's boy." "Wounded 7 times before he died!" "Each time he returned alive, he looked apologetic, as if he'd let us down !" "Good meat!" "Do croissants still ease your migraines?" "Every morning I think of poor Cottard." "I feel so sad." "He had to write me a prescription for croissants!" "The world's gone haywire." "To have a croissant baked you have to pull almost as many strings as to appoint a general!" "Before I forget..." "I've heard you were with CharIus yesterday." "Are you friends again?" "We ran into each other in the street." "I imagine it was a shock." "What's the attraction?" "The strongman or my friend Rene?" "Who's Rene?" "A draft-dodger like you?" "Draft-dodger?" "Don't sneer at him." "He's very imaginative, especially in areas that interest you." "I'II introduce you." "He could use the money." "He and I share the same tastes:" "an allergy to trenches." "You understand." "You always backed the weak." "We're weak." "You used to say you never read the legal pages, out of sympathy for the condemned man's agony." "I don't, but I sometimes read your filthy articles." "They're only a pastime." "charlie..." " What do you want?" " To spend the evening with you." " Evening and night?" " Yes." "Sorry." "I have better plans." "Coming, Rene?" "charlie!" "Look out." "I'II get even!" "I almost forgot!" "It's time." "VinteuiI's septet." "Good evening." "You, here?" "I couId say the same." "I have my reasons." "You too, no doubt." "Did you see that man?" "Was it Saint-Loup?" " Why not?" " What's so funny?" "I'm sure you know he's been implicated in a spy scandal." " wrongly." " I know." "It's a respectable house, to that extent." "My own father frequented it." "Spying on your own father?" "Is he in there?" "He's dead." "He died in there." "What can we do?" "When it's our turn, we'II go." "To slaughter?" "Not me." "I'm 22." "Six months as a nurse there was enough." "FaceIess patients." "My last one had no jaw, no nose, no mouth." "Nothing!" "Just a big hole." "And the stench!" "meanwhile Joffre sleeps around!" "I read they have no more zeppeIins." "Oh yeah?" "I shot down five already!" "The papers are paid to tell lies." "Excuse me." "I'd Iike a room." "I don't know whom to ask." "Ask the boss." "He's gone to buy chains." "I think room 43 is free." "One night?" "No, just a few hours' rest." "I came in from the air raid." "They bombed La ViIIette." "I'm very thirsty." "May I have a drop of cassis ?" "We'II send it up." "Anything else?" "Take your pick." "I'II go with you." "Who's he?" "Is there a Canadian airman here?" "French." "No good." "The client wants the accent." "Take that, scum!" "Maurice?" "I assure you, Baron." "He's a genuine thug." "really?" "You surprise me." "He's had many convictions for theft and burglary." "He's been in jail." "He's dangerous." "Maybe so, Jupien, but I don't feel it." "He says scum like a schoolboy reciting by rote." "Nobody taught him." "I find him much too gentle." "gentle is not why I come here." "gentle?" "He was wanted for killing a concierge!" "Now you're talking!" "There's the man from the slaughterhouse." "He can kill an ox with one finger." "Guaranteed illiterate." "A Senator tried him two days ago." "He spoke about him to Mr. Lebrun." "Mr. Lebrun is actually the Russian Grand Duke." "Don't bother, Jupien." "I want boys like Maurice." "He has the right approach, but I want more authenticity." "Find someone." "Is my driver waiting?" "Of course." "But the raid's not over." "He didn't hesitate one second." "He chose to die." "To save his orderly's life?" "The rich aren't all bad." "I'd happily die for guys like that." "They're the tops." "Poor stiffs like us have nothing to lose." "A gentleman with servants who could be home drinking cocktails, that's real class." "God shouIdn't let the rich die." "The workers need them." "For one of them killed, every German should die." "Finished already?" "That was short." "Short for a walk in the park." "Long if you're swinging a whip in this heat." "Good thing he pays well." "He's educated too, you can tell." "Damn it." "He's insane!" " Who is?" " The old man in 27." "He's never satisfied." "Thugs bore him, soldiers too." "Now he wants a cripple." "But not a veteran." "He hates that." "A cripple who wasn't wounded at war?" "There's no such thing!" "Not that chair!" "Get up, get up!" "The Prince de Foix died in that chair." "Nobody sits there." "Put the roses on it." "Hide, before the Baron sees you." "Hide!" "Get up." "The Baron's coming." "You're disgusting." "I saw you at the olympia with two tickets." "Making extra money behind my back?" "No, sir." "How sweet." "You say it so well." "It almost sounds true." "Who cares if it's true or not, as long as I believe it?" "Think about me in the trenches." "Is it hell?" "Sometimes, when the shells come close." "But we have no choice." "We'II fight to the end." "To the end." "But to the end of what?" "I don't think I know this charming, delicious young man." "I'm charmed, sir." "delighted to meet you." "I'II send it to my parents and to my brother, at the front." "How awful." "He's a decent guy, for a baron." "He has a million a day to spend." "please don't take it badly." "The same room tomorrow." "11 o'cIock in the morning." "Yes, sir." "Maurice!" "Louis!" "You're wanted in room 23." "Look what I found in 35." "What is it?" "A Croix de Guerre." "Thanks!" "Where was it?" "Room 35." "I think I know whose it is." "Hurry, he's important." "Don't keep him waiting." "I'II see you out." "What's he doing here?" "I'm leaving." "I can't believe it!" "I won't be back." "It's scandalous." "scandalous!" "Goodbye!" "I only bring one thing:" "my mother's photo." "You're right." "You only have one mother." "One thing's for sure." "Since these raids began," "I've found the way of the Lord." "A few more raids, and you'II be an alcoholic." "Francoise!" "What's upset you so?" "We thought you were dead!" "Didn't we?" "The idea was discussed." "The bombs fell close tonight." "Guess who fetched us from the cellar." "Mr. de Saint-Loup!" "What a character!" "Ordering me around" "like I was his sergeant!" "Wasn't he?" "He swore he'd left his cross here." "His Croix de Guerre." "You wonder how he won it." "If you ask me, rich people like him sit pretty while the rest get killed." "also, he has a nerve telling us how brave the Germans are." "Which side is he on?" "So what did you do?" "Don't say he stayed in the cellar!" "I'd love to hear Morel play this sonata." "Can I meet him one day?" "shall I warm up some food?" "No thank you." "You may go to bed." "Guess what Mr. de St-Loup said." "Fritz is waiting for the pear to drop." "It's true." "That day, there'II be no mercy." "holy Mary!" "The invadement of belgium was bad enough." "Poor, defendIess little country." "What about the medal?" "Did you go up and get it?" "Yes."

"He's coming." "Who told you I was here?" "Odette." "She's worried about you." "You're joking." "Odette doesn't worry about anyone." "So?" "So I wanted to talk to you." "It's small and uncomfortable here." "Have a seat." "welcome to my hideout." "The police are after me." "I'm wanted." "As a deserter." "Who turned me in?" "Any idea?" "I don't want to die in ignorance in front of the firing squad." "I won't stay long." "It can't have been CharIus." "You know it." "He hasn't got it in him." " I didn't suspect him." " So?" "Maybe it's time to end your quarrel." "He's old." "He may die soon." "It's time to make peace." "It's all the more absurd because he still loves you." "He's still willing to help you." "You're wasting your time." "tell me why you won't make peace." "Are you too lazy?" "Too mean?" "Too virtuous?" "Too vain?" "Nothing of the sort." "I don't care about virtue." "Meanness?" "No, I've begun to pity myself." "Vanity is pointless." "As for being lazy..." "I'm like a caged animal." "The truth is..." "I'm a fool to tell you." "The truth is, I'm scared." "I'm scared of him." "I don't understand." "You know he's a good man." "Yes, I know." "I know all that." "So considerate, so upright..." "I know." "I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm scared." "please go now."

"I thought you were in Paris." "Aren't you're the son of the Minister's secretary?" "This is Robert de Saint-Loup." "And my nephew, Baron de Guermantes." "My goodness!" "What am I saying?" "I called you Baron de Guermantes!" "please meet..." "Baron de CharIus." "What did you do today?" "I must show you the sweet shop that just opened." "I'II walk with you a bit." "tell me..." "Did Madame say your uncle CharIus is a Guermantes?" "Yes, she did." "He's PaIamede de Guermantes." "The Guermantes of Combray, descendants of Genevieve de Brabant?" "absolutely." "CharIus adores heraldry." "He says that our motto, our cri de guerre, which is now Passavant, used to be Combraysis." "CharIus' brother owns the chateau at Combray." "If you Iike, I'II introduce you again." "After supper is the time he relishes most." "uncle CharIus is a night owl." "Isn't that Robert de Saint-Loup?" "Where?" "There." "I can't see anyone." "Come..." "Combraysis!" "Poor woman." "She must have cried so after her son's death." "They didn't even let her see him." "Mind you..." "just as well, perhaps." "I hear his nose was split in two." "completely defaced..." "Look who's coming." "What a nerve!" "Here comes my favorite violinist." "He looks as grim... as death!" "Where have you been?" "I was worried!" "I missed the action."

"The new sanitarium to which I withdrew did me no more good than the first." "The war was over." "On the train back to Paris, the thought of my lack of literary talent, which I'd recognized while skimming the Goncourts'Journal, the thought of the vanity and falsehood of literature struck me afresh, more painfully than ever before." " How are you?" " well." "The Baron wants to see you." "Mr. de CharIus..." "How are you?" "Better, but don't mention his illness." "You're still alive." "Thank God." "Because my family..." "My family..." "His family is nearly extinct." "The newspapers." "Antoine de Mouchy... dead." "charles Swann... dead." "AdaIbert de Montmorency... dead." "Boson de TaIIeyrand... dead."

"I'II bring you some cakes and tea." "Tea?" "milk?" "No thank you." " Sugar?" " One." "That day, the signs which lessened my discouragement and restored my faith in writing seemed to multiply around me." "If memory, thanks to the act of forgetting, offers no bridge from itself to the present, it allows us to breathe a new air." "New, because we've breathed it before." "Poets tried vainly to situate this air in paradise, but true paradises are those we have lost." "This meant that my fear of my own death stopped as soon as I recalled the taste of the madeleine." "aat that moment, the person I had been became extra-temporal." "That person existed outside of activity, of immediate enjoyment, each time the miracle of analogy made me escape from the present." "I felt no pleasure at Balbec, or when I lived with AAlbertine." "I felt it only after the fact." "I had to interpret sensations like signs of laws and ideas, trying to think, to pull what I'd once felt out from the shadows, to convert it into its spiritual equivalent." "The only means of doing so was to create a work of art." "Why is MarceI crying so?" "Even he doesn't know." "He's keyed up." "Prepare the big bed for me." "I'II sleep in here." "My little ninny makes Mama as silly as he." "Since neither of us is tired, Iet's not get keyed up." "Let's do something." "will it spoil your fun if I give you the books Grandmother bought for your birthday?" "Are you sure?" "It will mean you get nothing tomorrow." "We were walking home in the moonlight which cast a silver glow on the dark country paths." "It was an autumn evening, mild and slightly misty." "We couldn't help noticing the sound of the air and something eerie which hovers over nature..." "The first piece is over." "May I see you in?" "How nice to see you, my oldest friend!" "This reminds me of the year" "I first visited the Princess de Guermantes." "I feared I was unwelcome and would be turned away." "You were wearing a red dress and red shoes." "My God..." "AII that was so long ago." "Those were the dresses we wore back then." "Maybe they'II come back." "Fashions do - clothes, music, painting." "But you, dear friend, don't change." "Not one white hair." "You look as young as ever." "I thought I just saw morel." "I doubt it." "He'd have greeted me." "Is he really invited?" "What a question!" "morel is now highly respected." "The Princess is fond of him." "What's troubling you?" "Nothing..." "I didn't recognize that man..." "I was told it's Mr. d'Argencourt." "Rather... what's left of him." "You're referring to the trial?" "CharIus and d'Argencourt were convicted." "The court deferred to the high moral standards of our friend morel." "But relax." "If d'Argencourt should bump into morel, he'II greet him like an old friend." "So old..." "that he won't remember him!" "If you come across GiIberte, avoid her." "She's a tramp who never loved her husband." "She liked the status, the name, being my niece, and rising from her slime." "AII she wants now is to sink back into it." "It's always pained me because of poor Robert." "He was no hawk, but he saw things clearly." "A great many things!" "I have no proof of her infidelity, but rumors abounded." "That's why Robert enlisted." "The war delivered him from his sorrow." "If you ask me, he wasn't killed." "He got himself killed." "My dear friend." "old chap..." "How good to see you." "You look fit for a dying man." "please meet Mrs. de Farcy." "She's American." "So witty and ever so elegant!" "Stop it, Jacques." "You'II make me blush!" "Jacques?" "I changed my name." "You didn't know?" "I'm Jacques du Rozier now." " Why change albert?" " albert BIoch is over." "You don't read the papers." "I wrote an article for which I've received much praise." "But tell me..." "Since you know everyone here..." "I'd Iike to meet the Prince de Guermantes." "really?" "You know everyone?" "A real social butterfly." "This is all untrue." "allow me..." "Prince?" "Excuse me..." "Prince?" "This is my friend albert." "Jacques..." "Jacques du Rozier." "I've heard a Iot about you." "And your late father, solomon BIoch." "Isn't that so?" "Yes." "Indeed." "Excuse me, I'm a little..." "What's the word?" "A little new to this society." "My husband, Count de Farcy, is related to the ForcheviIIes." "It's a very grand family, isn't it?" "I made a note that Mrs. de Saint-Loup is related to the Prince de Guermantes by the ForcheviIIes." "You noted wrong." "It's a very big mistake." "I told it to a lady who repeated it to a man..." " It's of no importance." " The Duchess..." "Do you recognize me?" "Cambremer." "The Marquis de Cambremer." "Excuse me." "Of course I recognize you." "I heard you were ailing." "The same trouble breathing?" "It hasn't hindered your longevity." "It's like this deadly flu epidemic." "It seems that its victims are mostly young." "We're still safe." "We still have..." "a little time before us, don't we?" "Montesquiou!" "The concert will now begin." "I play it badly." "No." "Keep playing." "I'd Iike to hear morel play this sonata." "Can I meet him one day?" "VinteuiI's music is so monotonous." "The same phrases, over and over." "It puts me to sleep." "If it weren't so late, AIbertine," "I'd show you how these key phrases, which you've begun to recognize as I do, the same ones in the sonata, the septet, and his other works," "that little music which keeps coming back, insistently, which you write off as monotonous." "well... in literature, good literature, that is..." "It's like a hidden reality revealed by a material trace." "Look at the stonecutters in Thomas Hardy." "They're in Jude the Obscure." "also in The WeII-BeIoved." "Remember the stones the father hews out of the island, coming by boats to pile up in the son's workshop." "They become statues." "The parallels between The WeII-BeIoved, in which a man loves three women and A Pair of blue Eyes" "in which a woman loves three men..." "These parallels..." "You're not listening." "Yes, I am." "But I wish I hadn't mentioned morel." "That's the reality I read in your face." "What do you see?" "A trace of jealousy." "Am I right?" "Not entirely wrong." "And a letter Mr. de CharIus opened by mistake." "A letter from Lea to morel." "Did she tell you about it?" "I thought as much." "A rather racy letter." "She called morel a little bitch." "Nice turns of phrase:" "Pretty girlie, you're one of us." "But she said it kindly." "She read it to you?" "Of course she did." "GiIberte was with Lea." "You're saying that to..." "Perhaps." "After all, I wasn't there." "Did she try anything with you?" "On rainy days, her parents sent a carriage." "Once she gave me a ride." "She kissed me." "She even asked if I liked women." "I said yes." "Just for the fun of confusing her." "That's all." "We didn't go any further." "You mistook me for Mama." "I'm starting to look like her." "I was short of breath." "There are so many people." "The party's a success." "I won't be staying long." "I keep thinking about Robert." "I know how you admired him." "I was able to grasp what a superior being he was." "Even now, I'm still struck by his slightest remarks." "His amazing foresight about the war." "He wasn't wrong..." "about the airplanes." "Remember when he said..." "He spoke so beautifully..." "Each army must be a hundred-eyed Argus." "Poetic, isn't it?" "But what brings you to these crowded parties?" "You, amid such carnage!" "It doesn't fit you." "I'd expect you anywhere except one of my aunt's big hoopIas." "Because she is my aunt." "Don't tell me you didn't know." "Where have you been?" "In my sanitarium." "That bejeweIed thing pecking at her cake with her new dentures..." "Do you recognize her?" "The new Princess de Guermantes, formerly Sidonie Verdurin." "Virtuosity can never replace inspiration." "charlie!" "I'd lost hope!" "So rachel will be reciting Musset?" "That was my idea!" "alfred de Musset's Memory is my favorite poem!" "My uncle was ruined by the war." "The Verdurins' fortune set him right." "After her husband died, Mrs. Verdurin married the Duke de Duras on his sickbed." "That's how my uncle, widower of Princess Hedwige, married a widow who'd become a duchess." "Mission accomplished." "She takes herself so seriously." "And everyone else pretends to." "How are you?" "Some champagne?" "Did GiIberte do her grieving widow act." "She feels no grief at all." "I'm astounded by her cynical show of indifference." "If she'd loved her husband at all, how could she remain so stoic in the same room as the woman he'd loved desperately for so many years?" "But it was you who invited rachel." "I wanted to see if she'd come." "And she did." "I'm not her." "I haven't forgotten Robert." "I forget no one." "shall I tell you what she is?" "A pig!" "morel." "Do you know what I heard about Mrs. de ForcheviIIe?" "She's like a rose that's been pickled." " It fits her." " Champagne?" "We have the same idiom." "You obviously don't like her, but if I understand correctly, you're related." "vaguely... on my husband's side, but very distantly." "Strange, how our relatives are close or distant, depending on our interest in them." "True, I feel..." "very close to Oriane de Guermantes." "So elegant, so refined." "But when I see that pickled rose day and night with the Duke," "I find it..." "Odette de Crecy..." "Odette de ForcheviIIe with the Duke de Guermantes?" "What?" "You didn't know?" "AII of Paris does!" "The Duke even had to resign from the Jockey club!" "He's lost his mind." "He's senile!" "They say he tyrannizes her." "If he could, he'd make her his captive." "And the Duchess?" "The Duchess, my friend Oriane, is above reproach." "She suffers, of course." "Suffers in silence." "And all the more because people say she has affairs!" "My friend!" "How are you?" "On the score, it said:" "allegro ma non troppo." "fluid..." "talk about fluidity!" "I must see you." "It's important." "Of course..." "We'II group up!" "I said we'II group up!" "Did you see the musician?" "Such youth!" "So interesting!" "Do you know her?" "Here she is!" "You were wonderful!" "I listened..." "Excuse me." "My dear, I'm sorry." "My mind was..." "AII these people, these new faces..." "One feels a bit lost." "Like in the fog." "I hear you've been ill." "You do look a bit pale." "Go back to BaIbec." "It's so bracing." "Have you seen my GiIberte?" "I do love my daughter." "Without her I'd be lost." "Why are you staring?" "Have I changed that much?" "If I sculpted, you'd be my model." "How charming." "You wouldn't have me pose naked?" "You'd be perfect." "An allegory of eternal youth." "really?" "Are you being sincere?" "Come..." "Come home with me." "This chitter-chatter bores me." "I enjoy it." "You have no party sense, my dear." "From time to time, it's nice to have fun and forget." "I want to be alone with you." "Come." "Don't be childish." "Sorry." "I have better plans." "Now that I've got you..." "Come to one of my little get-togethers." "Kindred spirits." "I saw you speaking with Aunt Oriane." "wonderful as she may be, she's no intellectual." "Did you know that Count de Courvoisier thought he was the only boy to be attracted to another?" "He thought the devil made him so." "I have no idea about such matters."

"He has my poor mother's chin." "Some Turkish delight?" "These come from istanbul." "I share them with all my friends." "There's mint, rose, cedar, and pistachio." "They stick to your teeth." "Don't be a killjoy." "I'm thrilled to meet your nephew." "I once met your father." "He was so good to me, so sweet." "You should get back to work."

"And not once... did you say how it tasted..." "Lin," "did you ever like me?" "Tam, if I asked you to go to the movies now," "would it be too late?" "Let's get out of here!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "I never would've imagined it, that tea egg... changed my life" "Tea egg!" "Now I remember!" "It's you!" "You were the one!" "Stand up!" "Bow!" "Good morning teacher!" "Good morning students!" "Please be seated" "Where's Lin?" "What does this mean?" "It's Dutch, meaning "Only the Best"" "What about this?" "It's Danish:" ""The Wettest teens in Europe"" "That one's really good" "Lin," "I know that you are at the top of your class" "Even if you stop coming to school... you could get into the top university" "But, you're only 17... do you really need... so many porno magazines?" ""Hypochondria at the age of 8..."" "Do you know what Hypochondria is?" "It's a temporarily fixation, where you think you have some disorder" "Why?" "What was wrong with you?" "If you will talk about it..." "I am more than willing to listen" "It's my penis... my genitals" "What?" "The size of my penis" "I have... always felt something was wrong" "Everyone says I am abnormal" "Teacher," "Do you know how ashamed I've felt?" "I couldn't let anyone know," "I couldn't go swimming, or even take a piss with others" "I have no friends" "The doctor told me..." "There was little hope for cure..." "Lin, trust me, being small is not a problem" "And just like humans, it will grow bigger" "Size is really not important" "Take my word for it" "I am married" "Small ones have their advantages" "Nothing wrong with being small..." "You took it all wrong!" "I don't believe you!" "It's true!" "I gotta see it to believe it!" "I used to be a nurse..." "I've seen a lot" "Come on, take your pants off... let me take a look, be a good boy..." "This is why I am so ashamed" "You've been this way all along?" "Lmpossible, how do you get your pants on?" "Oh, I just wrap it up... and use rubber bands..." "Just like this" "But how do you, you... you pee?" "No problem at all, and when I really have to go..." "I can hold it this way" "There was this one time," "I wanted to commit suicide" "But pornography saved my life" "Pornography, also known as "A" book" "I bought my first "A" book, when I was ten years old." "The motivation was simple:" "I just wanted to see what other's penises looked like and how they were different from mine." "Auntie, how do I get to Wanhwa?" "Wanhwa?" "At the third red-light ahead make a right and then..." "After suffered from Hypochondria for 3 years that was the first time I spoke with a stranger, just because I wanted to go to Wanhwa and buy a "A" book" "Sir," "Do you sell "A" book?" "Do you sell "A" book?" ""A" book?" "Any porn?" "Porn?" "From the time I was in the 3rd grade" "From Neihu to Wanhwa." "I'd travel 60 kilometers on bike everyday" "I'd just ride and ride..." "All of that bike riding... helped me set a record... for the fastest 100 meter race in school" "I'll never forget... the day I met Boss Cheng." "There are those who say I am worse than a pig to sell porn... to a ten years old boy" "Yet, when I saw him," "I knew he really needed my help" "He really needed my help" "I even thought that... if he hadn't found me then," "if I hadn't let him in, he may not have lived through the night" "Come on in!" "Are you sure you're ready?" "My name is Cheng," "You can call me Boss Cheng." "What's your name?" "Lin." "You're young... and it's your first time... you better start with comics" "I got money" "Don't give me money" "You need anything, just come by" "You have any questions, ask me" "Ok?" "A new world opened before my eyes" "Seven days a week, for five hours a day" "I helped out at the store, organizing shelves, ripping off covers, taking orders..." "Before you know it, seven years passed by" "Where did this egg come from?" "I knew every model in the magazines... and they knew me" "I'd given them everything I could and they gave me something too, something I most needed" "Everywhere I went, they were with me" "They were never angry with me their smiles never faded... always so young and vibrant" "Whenever I needed them, they were there" "They were never too busy."" "Well," "Who needs real women anyway?" "Who needs a girlfriend?" "At least," "I know I don't." "You're wrong!" "You say that because you don't have purpose in life." "My purpose is in these magazines" "That's my purpose... not yours!" "My purpose is the same as yours!" "No, you can't be like me!" "Why not?" "Lin, you're still a virgin right?" "If you were to give up your innocence... who would you do it with?" "If I could..." "it would be a housewife" "Why?" "A housewife... can give you some special care, like a mother" "Even if I remain a virgin the rest of my life" "I wouldn't care" "I already know... what a climax feels like" "No, you don't have a clue" "Lin, you're absolutely wrong!" "Sex without love is not real sex" "A climax without love, is not a real climax" "Love?" "Basically, orgasm, or say:" "Climax." "Can be devided into three categories" "The highest, is sex with love" "the second, is sex without love," "and the last is masturbation, the lowliest of them all." "Lin, I think... what you really need is not these magazines but a real live woman" "I need a woman?" "There's only one way to find the answer" "Tonight, when you go home and beat-off, don't look at any porns, just close your eyes" "And the woman who appears... will be the one you're looking for" "I can't remember anyone" "There seem to be... some blurry images... flash through my head" "I've got to try harder..." "Ouch!" "Muscle spasm..." "I couldn't think of anyone" "After seven years, since pornography entered my life... it is the first time..." "I've really felt lonely" "It's also the night..." "Boss Cheng met his final destiny" "No one really knows... what happened that night" "Everything started... with this crazy cop... chasing three teenagers who were drag racing..." "Bastards!" "Pull over!" "Eat My Shit!" "Fuck!" "To this day, I still don't understand... how that cop could ride a motorbike... straight into the bookstore... and hit Boss Cheng?" "The newspapers said, the cop was cracking down on porn stores" "But, if that was the case, why did he have shit all over him?" "That night, when the cop tried to help Boss Cheng," "Cheng's last words were:" "This book's mine" "Several days ago a motorcycle crash... uncovered one of the biggest illegal pornography outlets to date" "This morning Taipei City police... took the 50,000 magazines they had seized..." "Boss, they burned all of your books and burned them at an incinerator" "What's that sound?" "Boss, did you hear that?" "It wasn't until the doctor said... his heart was clogged, that I knew the sound was the sound of Boss Cheng's heart breaking" "Over the past seven years, he was my source of wisdom" "When he died, everything fell apart" "Yes..." "I am Cheng's lawyer, your name is included in his will" "My name?" "Please sign here..." "Well, he'd planned to leave all of his books to you but since they've been burned" "now... this is all there is left" "I heard you knew Cheng for seven years and that you helped him out at the store?" "So you knew... all the way... he was selling pornography?" "Shame on you!" "Phooey!" "Lin, who'd have thought... this would be my last gift to you" "Take this key, to the address, and find the girl in the book" "She'll rid you of all your confusion" "And lastly, when you meet her... please tell her," "I will always love her, Cheng." "Dude, when I was little, I thought... that prison was like serving in the army, everyone had to go there for a while" "Why is that?" "Because my dad, my brother, my uncle, my brother in law, and my cousins all went to prison" "Back then, I used to think, fuck!" "I've gotta grow up, and go to prison to see what it's like" "Maybe it's because... they're so ugly?" "I've seen your dad and he's butt-ugly!" "Ugly?" "Dad, from now on it's like this, if you hit Mom, I'll hit you twice" "I still owe you a slug" "Got you!" "You delinquents!" "We've got you!" "Give up, you shit-heads!" "Are you even 18?" "Who told you to dye your hair!" "?" "No helmets?" "Do you have a license?" "You make me sick!" "You bunch of scums!" "Cut!" "Good, translator, explain our program to them" "I am pooped, it's so hot..." "We are with a Japanese TV company producing a show called:" ""Saving Taiwan's Street Delinquents"" "We need teenagers... who look like delinquents..." "Delinquents?" "Who's the delinquent!" "Why us!" "Do we look like juvenile delinquents?" "You two, stretch out your arms!" "Your arms!" "Aren't you listening!" "You, give me a fingernail clipper" "Look at these hands!" "I can't stand girls with long nails!" "Cut them all off!" "Mother Fucker!" "Look how neat my fingernails..." "Hey!" "Look at that!" "That's the tattoo I want!" "The shirt Yuki bought for me..." "How dare you!" "I am Alikura of Japan's Sumiyoshi gang!" "The assasin's knife "Inu-maru"!" "Where did you get it!" "It's so beautiful..." "I've never seen such a beautiful tattoo..." "You don't look like the type who'd have a tattoo" "When I was young," "I was with Japan's largest gang" ""Sumiyoshi Union"" "You used to be a gang member!" "One day, when I was running low on cash I robbed a girl" "Armed robbery!" "That girl's name was Yuki Koide" "After we're married, she's called Yuki Alikura" "She married you!" "Became your wife!" "It's not him?" "Take another look, it's him isn't it?" "Afterwards, I asked her why she didn't identify me" "She said:" "Ken, when I first saw you, a magical tune appeared in my head" "The melody is so beautiful" "I thought, if you... could make me hear such a beautiful thing there was still hope for you" "I was willing to give you a second chance" "That's why" "I was so touched." "I asked her, if I get out of the gang, would she be willing to date me" "A year later, we got married" "Here, let me sew it" "My best grades were in home economics" "Yuki gave me this shirt" "I'll sew it myself" "Next time we go to your place, you'll have to let us meet your wife" "Your finger!" "Wolong Street, Lane 248, Alley 33, No. 2-1" "No. 1, 2, 3?" "What's going on?" "Where is No 2-1?" "You looking for No 2-1?" "Finally, someone looking for No 2-1!" "No one has been there before?" "No letters?" "For years I've wondered... why is there a door there?" "Who would come and open it?" "And where does it lead to?" "Aren't you coming?" "Good luck" "Who are you!" "What are you doing here?" "When did you build this secret passage?" "What do you want?" "Where did you get this?" "I..." "Boss Cheng gave it to me" "Boss Cheng?" "Which Boss Cheng?" "Tell me!" "The book store owner!" "Book store?" "Cheng Tie-nan?" "You're lying!" "Cheng would never do anything like that!" "It's true!" "You pervert!" "Who are you calling?" "If you're calling Boss Cheng no one is going to answer..." "Shut-up!" "Registered mail for Miss Wang..." "Sign here please..." "Thank-you" "Wang," "Lin is my only true friend" "His confusion exists, because he doesn't know... what he wants in life" "Please do me a favor, help him understand the fire of a woman's love and the tenderness of being embrassed... is the most wonderful thing on earth" "Though my time is up, and couldn't experience this any more" "Help him understand" "Forever yours, Cheng" "Cheng says you were his only friend." "Boss Cheng is also my only friend." "When this was printed, 54,000 copies were made." "Cheng destroyed 53,999 of the copies" "This is the only copy left in the world" "Cheng grew up with me, he was like a brother" "After high school, we lost touch." "The next time I saw him," "I was already married" "I always worried, my pictures were in that nasty magazine..." "Nasty?" "Why?" "Because... my husband is an self-righteous policeman, if he ever found out I posed for the porno... what would I do?" "Once Cheng knew, he opened the book store, and began recovering every one of the books" "He even bought this house for me" "I knew he liked me" "But, strangely, he never asked anything of me..." "It wasn't until I saw this letter... that I realized he was impotent" "All he could do is watch..." "My husband knows nothing" "These past few years have been so wonderful" "It's just that..." "I live in the shadow of my past" "I feel like..." "I am not worthy to live such a good life, because I posed for the porno..." "No, don't say that!" "Don't you know how many young men, night after night, have overcome their loneliness... how many boys, have found comfort in these images!" "You must know that?" "!" "You're already a man," "Do you have a girlfriend?" "You do." "You just can't remember who she is, just like Cheng used to be." "Whoever appears in you mind..." "That's the one you need." "Lin, I really like you" "Do you know that?" "Boss Cheng, I remember!" "I'll never be lost again" "I finally know what I want" "I wish I could turn back time" "I wish I could find her, and tell her:" ""The tea egg was so delicious!"" "Just a minute!" "Damn!" "Isn't that cool!" "Whenever he wants to take a shit, he takes a shit!" "Absolutely amazing, how was he trained?" "His mom's a nurse" "Mom, please don't, Mom!" "Skipping class!" "Don't want to go to school!" "You think school is painful?" "Having an enema is real pain!" "Don't go to the bathroom for 15 minutes if anything slips out you'll have to start again!" "Dude, your order is ready." "Bastard!" "Here he comes!" "Where should I begin?" "That day, after I'd cooked my tofu jello" "I was pushing the cart across the street, when..." "Hey Mr. Cop!" "Don't you have anything better to do?" "Get some good marks for your latest bust?" "You should've given us a few porno magazines!" "Then the policeman yelled:" "If you've got balls, not to use your brakes," "We'll see what you're made of!" "If you've got balls, not to use your brakes!" "We'll see what you're made of!" "My brakes are out!" "Bring it on!" "Now let's see who's chicken shit!" "All of a sudden, something really strange happened," "I could watch every movement in the alley" "I saw everything clearly, like time had stopped" "Dude!" "Let's go!" "To be honest, after that incident," "my outlook on life was different" "That life is just like tofu jello, you've got to eat it while it's still hot!" "Lin, I really like you, don't you know?" "Who needs real women anyway?" "Who needs a girlfriend?" "I know, I don't" "That day my heart broke" "No one knows... how fragile a young girl's heart is" "Hey!" "You two bitches!" "What's your problem?" "Look at those clothes?" "What are you trying to be?" "And the hair?" "Those dickweed shoes?" "You call that style, think you're cool?" "Shit, what I hate the most... are girls who try to look like hooligans" "Go home and find yourself a big dick!" "Bastard!" "Boy!" "Isn't that a bit too small?" "Come on!" "Come on!" "This stick is waiting for you!" "Tell you what, one thing I hate the most is big dick" "You won't believe this, the Tomato Brothers wrote back!" "Really!" "?" "They wrote!" "Honestly, women are tender and fragile they are something you cuddle up for sleep" "No matter how ferocious some women are if they don't have a dick, they're not men" "Tam, how come you like the Tomato Brothers so much?" "That's a secret..." "Dearest Tam, it's Big Tomato, thank you so much for writing..." "Hey, Dude, our agent says we should read this letter" "Dear Tomato Brothers, my name is Tam," "I am 17 years old, and I live in Taipei" "You may not believe this, but just an hour ago," "I didn't want to live anymore" "My grades are terrible," "I don't have any friends, and I am a teenage punk" "My parents have given up on me, my teachers resent me" "It's hopeless, I have no future" "But these are not really that important, they don't matter that much" "The thing that hurts the most, is the person I like the most... doesn't need me at all" "But I don't want to leave the world this way" "Even though I know," "I'll never be the same again, not like I used to be" "I could never go back to good old days" "Now, going to Japan to see your concert... is the only thing that keeps me going" "I hope that when I reach Fuji Mountain" "I can hear you singing my favorite song..." "Tam, no matter what happens, no matter how difficult things are, you've go to hold on lt'll be ok" "Things will get better" "I understand how you feel" "It's like your heart has been ripped out" "Next month," "We hope to see you at Fuji Mountain" "I am expecting your presence" "Consider this a date" "Please show up" "We will be waiting for you" "See you there" "We need money" "Lin!" "?" "You are...?" "Don't you remember me?" "Do you have a girlfriend now?" "You know, I used to have a crush on you..." "Hey!" "Let's go!" "Lin, did you ever like me?" "Damn, chicks robber, and I am being robbed?" "Let go of me!" "Bastard!" "Tam, if I asked you to go to the movies now... would it be too late?" "Get lost!" "Come on!" "Let's Go!" "Shit," "We only have enough for one ticket" "Then you go by yourself" "Anyway, you like them more than I do and I hate boy bands" "Do you think..." "I would just leave you behind in Taiwan?" "You think I would leave the only person that cares for me behind?" "We've got the photos of those two, who robbed the store." "All units report back to the station we've got the photos of those two, who robbed the store" "All units report back..." "What are we going to do?" "We haven't saved a single delinquent yet!" "Not one!" "If we can't find any, we should fly in some delinquents from Japan?" "Well, I'd heard troubled teens were everywhere where are they hiding?" "All this shooting and nothing but old ladies who wanted us to come to Taiwan?" "Who!" "?" "Ken, I've prepared your favorite... fried pork-chop, for the very last time." "Ken, I've never asked you this... but when you have the time," "I'd like to go traveling" "I'd love to go to Taiwan's CKS Memorial Hall and watch the old ladies dance" "Now it is too late" "I wish I could make another lunch for you and go to Taiwan with you" "But I can't," "I am sorry" "Forgive me" "Do your best every day." "Your loving wife." "Yuki." "Ok?" "No problem" "Thanks" "Are you Japanese?" "Here, let me help you." "Thank you" "You're welcome..." "A pack of Peace cigarettes" "Luna, Lumi!" "Get your nets!" "Camera crew, get your gear!" "Get over here, quickly!" "I've found someone!" "Where?" "!" "Don't run away you two!" "We've got you!" "You two punks!" "We've got them, we've got them!" "Great!" "Ya!" "Go Go!" "What's going on?" "Sorry, don't be alarmed we are with a Japanese TV program" "Our show depicts the lives of Taiwan's teenage on the streets" "It's me!" "Peace cigarettes..." "When I saw Tam," "I started hearing music in my head... just like my wife Yuki said:" "When she saw me she heard music" "Much better" "I know this is difficult but please believe me you can change your life... but please believe me you can change your life..." "Give us a chance and give yourselves a chance" "Give us a chance and give yourselves a chance" "Please, let me help you!" "Hey!" "Don't make such a commotion here!" "Is that van in the no-parking zone your's?" "Is it?" "Move it immeadiately!" "Yes..." "I owe NT$3,900 boss's NT$2,450... and Skinny owes N$3,100..." "And then there's the sword, 1,500 1,500... altogether... we owe NT$11,950" "How much do we have now?" "NT$102" "Let's go" "It's still a red light..." "Fuck the red light!" "Let's go!" "Hello everybody!" "Hi!" "The moment has finally come!" "Is there still hope... for us to rescue anyone?" "The answer is right behind these doors!" "Do you want to check it out?" "Yes!" "Ok, let's welcome... our reformed stars!" "Please!" "How cute!" "She is so lovely!" "Is she OK?" "O K!" "Yahoo!" "This is wonderful!" "Just wonderful!" "Man, what a bunch of idiots." "Mission accomplished!" "Boss!" "There you are!" "We're finally done now we can go and have some fun!" "Why does that smell so bad!" "It's rotten!" "How many days has it been?" "About 10 days." "10 days!" "Don't eat it, it stinks!" "Boss you're crazy!" "Let go!" "You're crazy!" "Stop!" "Stop eating it!" "Let go!" "To you it may be spoiled, but to me it's delicious" "This was the last lunch box... that my wife made for me in it is all of her love" "Leave me alone, so I can eat it bite by bite" "Go find Okada to help us stop him!" "When the sun comes out, the snow will melt..." "Yuki..." "I wish we could talk..." "It's too late..." "It's already too late" "Forgive me!" "Yuki..." "Sis, is there someone you like?" "I see" "I am going that way, so..." "You'll go to school, won't you?" "Yeah..." "Man, another red light!" "When will we ever find that hand?" "Hey, It's the hand!" "Here this is NT$11,950." "You take it," "I don't like the Tomato Brothers anyway" "Money!" "It's the hand with money!" "Finally we've found it!" "This is it!" "See you later" "Hey, you look great!" "This is a sword, you know that?" "How much money you got on you?" "NT$11,950..." "Damn, this is awesome?" "Take it, if you want it" "Good, then we don't have to cut off your hand" "The shit that hit my face this morning..." "Did you do that?" "Drop that sword..." "Hey, where are you going?" "First you drag race, then you throw shit and now this..." "Armed robbery!" "Armed robbery!" "Dude, I've got him!" "Three centimeters above the wrist!" "Dude!" "It's the hand!" "Stop!" "You still haven't answered me..." "Do you want to go to a movie with me?" "You're home?" "What's wrong?" "Are you all right?" "I...," "I missed you all day long" "I used to think I could never love someone, someone who was flesh and blood" "I am so glad I was wrong" "I've finally found you" "Yes, you finally found me" "I once read an article which said... that a man's climax... on average lasts for about 10 seconds." "And that Tibetan lamas... can extend that time to 60 minutes" "But that's only an hour" "Now, I've found a way... to keep that climax with me all the time" "All I need to do is sit by her side... and hold her hand... and I..." "This time I am really going to toss it away" "Ok..." "There's no turning back..." "Ok..." "Wait, Dude, let me hold it just once more?" "Me too, let me touch it one more time!" "Dude!" "Nooo!" "Don't do it!"

"Yesterday I went to grab a beer at a costume party." "I wanted to get to bed early." "I ended up having a few too many, but at least I got to bed early." "In a sense." "My name is Jacob, by the way." "I'm the one on the bottom." "The girl on top is called..." "Hey." "Hello?" "I don't even know your name." "Who cares!" "Excuse me..." "I know had something to do today." "I was supposed to be...in church." "At a christening." "My niece's!" "Shit!" "I'm supposed to be her godfather!" "I'm supposed to be at a christening."

"I hurt my back." "Is nothing sacred to you, Jacob?" "I had planned..." "A godfather supports and guides." "Take a walk and calm her down." "Any hot chicks here?" "Hi." "Good?" "It's a little dry." "Do you have children?" "No." "You view them as a reproduction of your own self-complacency?" "No." "I have yet to find the woman I want to have them with." "Some may say that's a little premature." "These aren't my condoms." "I've just borrowed the suit." "Want me to take her?" "No, I'm fine." "Who is that?" "You don't have to sleep with every woman you meet, you know." "I don't believe in any "woman of my life."" "The only ones who have succeeded at that, are you and Tonje." "Hi, Jacob Sand." "That was the Minister of Commerce from Cameroon." "Does your back hurt?" "I just...fell out of bed." "Maybe you should see a doctor." "Did you read about that guy who hit his leg?" "The sore got infected." "He ended up with gangrene." "Gangrene?" "He had to amputate his leg." "The infection paralyzed his speech center." "He hasn't said a word since." "2 40 kroner." "I can just get off here." "Hello, hello, hello?"

"I just asked if there were rising mains." "This is so boring!" "One sure sign that you're getting older, is that you go to more open houses than bars." "They've got a house and a kid." "All they're missing is a Saab." "They have a Saab." "Jacob!" "Maria?" "Fred, this is my..." "ex-boyfriend, Jacob." "Fred." "Jacob." "Jacob?" "You're the one with warts on your feet." "That didn't dare operate." "You always slept with your socks on." "I see you haven't changed." "I am very happy." "We are buying a house." "And you?" "I met a mother of four." "We live in a big house with apple trees and kids running around drinking juice." "Like a classical painting." "You haven't matured at all." "We are leaving." "Vamos!" "Cool uniform." "Help for sore nipples" "Jacob Sand?" "Dr. Bomann can see you now." "Your back?" "Yes." "Many suffer from that." "You are in good hands now." "Jacob Sand is here." "Nice to see you again." "Likewise." "Hey..." "I'm sorry about that Commerce Minister." "I hope you didn't..." "Does your back hurt?" "What?" "Yes, down here." "Take your coat off, and I'll have a look." "There..." "Pull your shirt up, so I can feel." "Did you twist it somehow, or did it just happen?" "I was lying down..." "And then I fell." "You fell while lying down?" "Yes." "Legs together." "Can you bend forward?" "That hurts." "Yes, a little bit." "You disappeared from the party." "I was just there as an interpreter." "Lift your arms." "You speak Cameroonian?" "I speak one of 250 Cameroonian dialects." "Lift your leg." "And now the other leg." "There." "That's that." "Are we done?" "It's only muscular." "You'll be better in a few days." "Aren't you going to take any..." "No tests, nothing?" "Not for your back." "But if you have anything else..." "I have been feeling listless lately." "Do you have to take so many tests?" "We've checked your heart, kidneys, blood pressure, and lungs." "Are you all right?" "I had forgotten why I never go to the doctor." "I took a urine sample." "I thought we could test your sperm." "Test my sperm?" "What if you meet the love of your life?" "You can tell her you have top-notch sperm." "You mean I have to...?" "Do you sell houses?" "How does that apply to my sperm?" "It doesn't." "But you're a lawyer." "I work primarily with asylum seekers." "Immigration law." "That's right." "Too bad." "I'm considering selling mine." "Oh, you mean real estate!" "Yes, that I do!" "If you mean..." "Is it a wooden house?" "Stone?" "I do stone houses." "All kinds of real estate, actually." "You'll need this." "Is it serious?" "Only if you fail to sell it." "Here's my address." "Hi." "Hi." "I'm going out to dinner afterward." "Come in." "There." "Let's see..." "Here is the sitting room." "I thought we could start with the first floor." "I see you work in the public sector." "This was dad's childhood home." "Here is the sitting room, and pantry and kitchen." "Are your parents alive?" "Almost too much." "Dad just got a motorcycle, mom got a lover in Crete." "Good genes, I see." "And the rest of your family?" "No nutcases or perverts?" "I have an uncle who's a band leader." "That isn't deadly." "It is socially." "This should be an easy sell." "Here is the small library, the guest bathroom..." "When are you selling?" "As soon as possible." "There is a bedroom, guest room..." "And if we continue over here..." "Hello?" "Do you have kids?" "This is my room." "Is this yours?" "Yes." "This is where I grew up." "I had that same dollhouse." "My mother had this weird notion:" "Girls had to play with cars and boys had to play with dolls." "So I had that same dollhouse." "But what have you done?" "This isn't..." "You know that's the kitchen?" "Yes." "What is that double bed doing in there?" "That's the kitchen." "They're sleeping in the kitchen." "So they can be next door to the baby." "My point is that you have too many kids." "You have five kids." "This is a mink's nest." "You've squeezed in kids all over." "There are five siblings." "Five?" "That's too many." "You have to have five." "The playroom is up here." "But they sleep down here." "The baby can get colicky." "He sleeps alone, so he doesn't wake the others." "You actually live in here." "Let's continue." "Then we went into her room." "It was so..." "Magical." "Yes, but John..." "She's stunning!" "She's your client." "I'm her patient." "I thought you feared doctors." "I've never met a woman like this who immediately..." "Jacob..." "Yes?" "Are you going back to her house?" "Yes." "Why?" "I'm going with you." "You can't do this on your own." "Of course I can." "I'm a specialist in property law." "You don't understand this." "I shouldn't have mentioned her." "It's about understanding people." "It's about selling." "John, you're blind." "Jacob, you're prejudiced." "I can always call her myself." "Remember what we agreed on?" "I won't speak until spoken to." "Hi." "Hi." "I brought John." "Thought it would be good to get his opinion." "As far as the sales strategy goes, and how to prepare..." "That's nice." "Come in." "Nina." "John." "I've heard so much about you." "I've been telling him about the house." "John has vast experience..." "with houses like this." "Beautiful." "Let's start with the first floor." "Are you aware that Jacob is head over heels in love with you?" "He didn't dare come alone." "You may be his dream woman." "I've never seen him like this." "How was he before?" "He tended to bring out strong maternal feelings in women." "I can imagine." "You underestimate yourself, Jacob." "Behind that pretty face lie vast amounts of hidden philosophy." "He has wanted to ask you something, but hasn't dared." "He wants to ask you out on a date." "OK..." "I'll call you." "This went great, Jacob." "Nothing to worry about at all." "I hate the saxophone!" "I hate Jan Gar-fucking-barek!" "What happened?" "I feel like a satellite dish sucking in signals." "Why doesn't anyone want me?" "Plenty of people want you." "You don't." "You just sleep with me." "Hey..." "Maybe we should stop doing that." "Have you met someone else?" "Why do you ask?" "Why else would you stop sleeping with me?" "It's just inevitable that one of us will get hurt." "You have met someone else." "Veronica..." "Why make all these demands that we can never fulfil, Jacob?" "Imagine if we could just... be , and be satisfied with that." "Imagine how wonderful that would be." "Turn off that music!" "You owe me a new broom!" "Cheers!" "Happy birthday, John." "Thank you for coming." "Hello?" "What's this?" "A present from me." "You're so sweet." "It's...glasses!" "Look at those!" "Are they nice?" "Plenty of room for your nose." "Cheers!" "Dear John, happy birthday." "Marte and I, we..." "We have some news as our present for you." "We are getting married." "Married?" "Congratulations!" "When?" "In August." "That's wonderful!" "But you've only just met." "And now you're getting married?" "Yes." "I just think it's a little early." "Only three of us left." "Don't look at me." "What about you, Jacob?" "Jacob will search till he's 100." "No, Jacob has been showing an interest in female doctors lately." "With his fear of doctors?" "He has a new "family doctor."" "Sometimes I wonder what you think with." "Now what?" "What do you think?" "Are you doing Veronica?" "We're just good friends." "You don't sleep with your friends!" "Thank you, John." "You may want to straighten out your social antennas a little bit." "Sorry." "Veronica will be fine." "So will you." "I'm more concerned about Tonje and Fredrik." "They're filing for separation." "At least, they have the paperwork." "But they're planning to..." "buy a house and have another kid." "Heard anything from Nina?" "Thought I'd send an e-mail." "What are you going to write?" "That I think about her all the time." "Is that wrong?" "No." "No, Jacob." "That's just fine." "Why didn't you say anything?" "Why should I say anything?" "You're supposed to tell me things like that." "She feels I lack ambition." "You aren't staying home forever." "The problem is, I don't know what I want." "I don't want to be a career lawyer like Tonje." "You don't have to work as a lawyer." "I am a fourth generation Supreme Court advocate." "I want to write books." "Be an author." "So write books." "I've already submitted one to a publisher." "But writing isn't a real job." "Is that what Tonje says?" "Not in so many words." "Hello?" "Hi." "Now?" "I can be there in ten minutes." "That was the doctor's office." "My test results are in." "They want me there." "Jacob Sand is here." "Hi." "What is it?" "Won't you have a seat?" "Is something wrong?" "Jacob..." "You are fine." "There was nothing wrong with your tests." "I'm sorry." "That's OK." "I just wanted to see you again." "I have the rest of the day off." "Want to do something?" "I'd love to." "Let's go in here." "Here?" "A karaoke bar?" "Want a beer?" "Two beers." "I think this one should be good..." "Good morning." "Sleep well?" "Are you already up?" "I have to go shopping." "I need to find a children's store." "Why?" "Is that so strange?" "You haven't asked if I use birth control." "Hey..." "Are you...?" "Do you know...?" "Isn't that what you want?" "Relax." "A colleague just had a baby." "Jacob!" "Have you ever seen anything so tiny?" "Or so expensive?" "It costs a fortune." "Don't you like children?" "Why do you ask?" "It doesn't seem like it." "I'm crazy about kids." "I'm serious." "Why wait?" "Because we've only known each other for a month." "So?" "I've found the man of my life." "I have a good education, a good job, a good income." "Now I want a baby." "Do we have time to eat first?" "When is a good time?" "More women now use foreign s perm banks to become pregnant." "Hello?" "Here." "Can you baby-sit tonight?" "Me?" "We've been invited to a gala and our baby sitter backed out." "I promised to help John get Anne's wedding present." "You are...were almost her godfather." "I don't know the first thing about kids." "This is the front, this is the back." "Instructions are under her feet." "Can't anyone else?" "I've called everyone but the Salvation Army." "I can call them." "You owe me." "Hi." "Can you baby-sit?" "Sure." "Come in." "Are you sure?" "I'd love to do it myself." "If you have plans, you have plans." "Hello?" "Yes." "Can you hold her for a second?" "I'm on my way." "Ten minutes." "I'm sorry." "Go." "Leave us girls alone." "Are you sure it's all right?" "I won't be late." "Is anything happening?" "Don't scare them." "I'm not." "Getting any?" "They're just eating." "You said they'd go to sleep." "They will." "There's enough sleeping medicine in that bread to knock out Duckburg." "Why are you so late?" "You take over." "I'm bored." "Can't we just buy a present?" "You know Anne loves duck." "To eat." "She may not want them as pets." "There's none left." "So knock their heads against a tree." "How are things going, Jacob?" "How's it going with the woman of your life?" "Great." "I've never been so in love before." "This is the first time..." "What's going on?" "I don't know." "Hello?" "Yoga." "To counteract stress." "Veronica, if it gets too bad, you can just marry me." "What's going on here?" "Don't tell me you've hypnotized them to lie like that." "Bring the car down to the river." "Well done, Jacob!" "Nice of you to show up." "Don't say anything." "It would just sound stupid." "I'm going to bed." "Good night." "Hi, this is Nina Bomann." "Leave a mess age after the tone." "Nina?" "Nina?" "I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday." "It has nothing to do with that, Jacob." "Please." "What is it?" "This just won't work." "What won't work?" "We want different things out of life, Jacob." "I want you." "We can have kids." "I'm serious." "I'm having you arrested!" "That'll teach you!" "Have you talked to her?" "Are you really in love with her?" "John..." "If you are, it doesn't matter what she said." "She broke up with me." "Those are just words." "Words?" "You have to fight!" "Show her she's special." "Buy a full-page ad, buy a flower shop, go on a hunger strike." "Do something active." "Dare something!" "Jacob, for the first time in your life you're in love." "You can't come in here." "I want to see Nina." "She quit last Friday." "You expect me to believe that?" "Sorry..." "Happy?" "Did she leave a forwarding address?" "You know that information is confidential." "Hello?" "You moved some things for Nina Bomann." "Finally, there you are!" "This will be a fun starting point..." "We thought you had changed your mind." "I'm Auntie Crazy." "Don't take that literally." "What's your sign?" "Virgo." "Expect me to believe that?" "Well, we have a job to do!" "Entré!" "You can undress over there to the right." "Undress?" "We are all too inhibited." "Hung up in conventions, in squares." "We have to let go." "We must." "Let go!" "My first orgasm was incredible." "Do you masturbate often?" "You should." "Let's see." "How do you like to pose?" "Frontal, or from the rear?" "Whatever you prefer." "I'm here to talk to Nina." "You're Jacob." "Then we want a poem." "Recite a poem." "A poem?" "A poem." "Let it out." "Release the poem, Jacob." "About the woman you love." "She's like a boat on the ocean." "Her head is full of notions." "Her heart, warm with emotion." "For how things should be." "Why are you staring at me?" "This is bullshit!" "Wait." "Is Nina here?" "Do you know where she is?" "I can't tell you." "Why can't I talk to her?" "Have I done something wrong?" "She's pregnant." "Maybe she needs time to think." "Why would she need that?" "Maybe the thought of you as a father, frightens her." "She can't just run away." "I didn't think you wanted kids." "Relax, Jacob." "She'll be back." "Now it's Anne's turn to get married." "Hurrah!" "I ask you, Marte Sundt Bull:" "Do you take Anne Grom to be your lawful partner?" "I do." "Do you, Anne Grom, take Marte Sundt Bull to be your lawful partner?" "I do." "Since you have agreed to enter into a partnership, " " I pronounce this partnership lawfully registered." "Go ahead." "Hi!" "How are you doing?" "I'm completely..." "I'm completely out of it." "It'll all work out." "When you come home, I'm sure she'll be back." "What happened with you and me..." "I feel very guilty." "I am so sorry." "It was just as much my fault." "You know that." "Who knows?" "Maybe I'm finally open for the man of my life." "You deserve it." "This is the craziest wedding I have ever been to." "To you this must be a veritable orgy." "Why does everyone say that?" "Because you have become a boring, predictable, self-centered and self-righteous cunt of a lawyer!" "I'm going to be a mommy." "And I'll be a mother." "Next time I'll be mommy." "And I'll be mother." "What about the father?" "I'm sure he'd be as thrilled as us, if he only knew!" "She's a lesbian!" "Most of the women here are." "Nina!" "She knew I was a lawyer, asked me about my family, had me take tests, checked for diseases..." "That's why she wanted to test my sperm!" "She drained me like a billy goat!" "Jacob, this is crazy." "She used me like a bull." "I might as well have given it to her in a cup." "I want custody." "Takes more than buying clothes." "I can take classes." "You plan to breast feed?" "There is something called infant formula." "Jacob..." "What makes you think the baby will be better off with you?" "I don't want the baby to grow up with a..." "With a mother like that." "OK." "How warm is the formula supposed to be?" "I can learn!" "Is it supposed to look like that?" "Did you think she ate with a knife and fork?" "There you go." "Now let's burp." "Come to daddy." "Can you hold her?" "Is she supposed to smell like this?" "No!" "That's the sixth time today." "Did you go poopie again?" "Hold this." "Where are you going?" "To buy diapers." "Now?" "If she keeps crying, just thump her on the floor." "No wonder you were so upset." "Your diaper was full of poop." "What kind of daddy do you have?" "Tonje and I went to see a marriage counselor." "The counselor talked about openness and communication." "What happened?" "What do you think?" "We started arguing." "Eventually she left." "Tonje?" "No." "The counselor." "Then what happened?" "We went home too." "And when we got home things were...so quiet." "Stine was at my mother's." "It's crazy." "I hardly recognize her." "She has gone through such a change." "All we do is..." "Tonje?" "Oh yes!" "Are you happy now?" "You don't think I know about that lesbo stuff?" "You'll make a great family!" "What are you talking about?" "I've seen what you're up to." "You can't fool me!" "This is Petter." "I don't think you've met." "He's my ex-husband." "Sell now." "It's a great opportunity." "You've already sold it?" "I told you to wait till it hit 43!" "How are you doing?" "I'm doing fucking great!" "I had planned to tell you." "I just needed some time to decide what to do." "You needed some time?" "What about my rights?" "The baby isn't yours." "Can I come in?" "What happened to Uniform Boy?" "We broke up." "He could never love me." "All I want is a life." "Why can't I get a life?" "Why did we break up?" "Because you left me." "You made me leave." "I did?" "You did not love me." "Sure I did." "You never said so." "And you had stopped touching me." "I didn't think you wanted me to." "There was nothing I wanted more." "Then why did you sleep on the couch?" "Dearest Jacob..." "If only you knew how much I loved you." "We could have been so happy." "Could have had a big family." "What is this?" "I thought I was going to be a dad." "You don't want children with me, but as soon as you meet someone else, you make her pregnant?" "I was tricked." "I thought I was tricked." "Oh, Jacob..." "You always let yourself be used." "You have to learn to set limits." "We can have children!" "Turn down that music!" "Why did you sleep out here?" "I've been thinking." "Let's try again." "I can move in, and we can fix up this place together." "It will be fantástico!" "This couch...has to go." "Hi." "Can we talk?" "I came to apologize." "I had hoped you'd find out some other way." "I'm the one that should apologize." "No." "I should." "If you still think I'm in love with my aunt..." "If I had known I was pregnant, " " I never would have gotten involved with you like that." "I miss you." "Are you coming?" "Nina?" "Nina!" "It isn't what you think." "What is it?" "She's my ex." "She just became single." "That's why she's walking around naked in your apartment?" "What about your ex?" "Petter?" "I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole!" "We want nothing to do with each other." "We had just signed our divorce papers." "Nina..." "There must be something I can do." "I've never felt this way before." "We had our chance." "I simply cannot decide." "We don't have much time." "Did you ask about the rising mains?" "She couldn't find them." "Couldn't find the rising mains?" "Don't yell at me!" "She's the specialist." "Have you heard from her, Jacob?" "No." "She's having a baby with another man." "Maybe she'll come back to you." "Why would she do that?" "Because she loves you." "That was beautifully put, Veronica." "What?" "What you just said." "That was incredibly beautiful." "Will you marry me?" "Let's go." "I know I'm an arrogant bastard, but..." "I love you." "I know." "It's so obvious." "I must have been blind not to see it." "You're the woman of my life." "You're who I dream of." "John..." "Veronica, will you marry me?" "Will you marry me?" "Yes." "Of course." "I've never understood why women like to look at baby clothes." "But now I think it's...great." "Why do you think she came to you?" "Why did she react like that when she saw Maria?" "She wants you back." "I screwed up." "I know when it's over." "You know nothing." "You love her." "You have to fight." "She wants you to show yourself as the man she hopes you are." "I'm lost." "That's the problem." "You aren't." "Just don't give up." "I heard rumors that you hung your lawyer's robe in the closet." "Watch out for the curb." "Fredrik and I made a deal." "He can write, and I turned down the partnership in my firm." "Great." "I thought that was what you wanted." "I wanted more Fredrik and he wanted more of me." "Did you know he wrote a novel while Stine slept?" "Of course." "How's the yoga going?" "I quit." "Quit?" "What are you doing now?" "Nothing." "It's enough to share a bottle of wine with John." "The water broke." "Get me to the hospital." "Now?" "Yes." "Find a car!" "A taxi!" "I'll get Fredrik." "We don't have time!" "Get a taxi!" "They won't stop!" "This woman is having a baby." "Can you drive her to the nearest clinic?" "I'm a little busy right now." "Hurry!" "Is it real important?" "Hurry up, guys." "I hate to be difficult, but..." "Go!" "Can't you go any faster?" "This is fun!" "My day just took a turn for the better." "Careful!" "Can't you slow down a little?" "Try to wait." "I can't exactly hold it in!" "Careful with that wreath." "Someone's supposed to mourn over it later." "Oh my god!" "Drive!" "I've dreamt of doing this for over ten years." "You're on the sidewalk." "You see him, right?" "I had a whole funeral procession behind me." "I must have lost them." "So what..." "They know where to go." "You're at the wrong entrance." "Good luck." "Thanks for the ride." "Now I need to find Nordberg Chapel from here." "Where might that be?" "Fredrik isn't answering." "Then leave a message!" "Where are you going?" "I..." "You can't leave now." "This will go just fine." "Breathe deeply, like you did at childbirth class." "Come over here." "Breathe easy." "And push!" "Great!" "Come on." "We'll let you cut the umbilical cord." "Come on!" "Here it is!" "Hi." "There's our hero." "I never would have believed it." "Want to hold him?" "My God, he's so tiny." "Jacob..." "We were wondering if you wanted to be godfather." "Everyone deserves a second chance." "Even you." "My boy!" "Welcome, amigo!" "You not know how happy I was." "My golly, how happy I was!" "Uncle Pablo." "You remember him." "And Juan!" "And you remember grandma." "The whole family is so happy." "Let the boy breathe, grandma." "We fix up apartment for you." "Total apartment." "Daddy has always loved you." "Come, sit!" "Enjoy, enjoy, look at everything." "Let me hear what I want to hear." "When is it?" "When is wedding?" "Isn't that the plan?" "I fix everything." "Toda la familia fix." "Make apartment nice for wedding." "You move in together." "No." "You kidding with me." "No." "You not kidding." "You have wedding." "You live together." "Have grandchildren." "No!" "Yes!" "No!" "You move in together!" "No!" "I don't love Maria." "It's too big." "We don't need this many bedrooms." "What the hell is a rising main?" "I have no clue!" "But it's supposed to be important to ask about it." "You can't sell this!" "This house is you." "You're to live here." "Have kids here." "What happened to you?" "I had a discussion with the father..." "There must be something..." "Jacob!" "Nina, I just came by because I wanted to see you today." "I love you." "I think about you all the time." "I want to see you today." "I want to see you tomorrow." "I want to see you every day, for the rest of my life." "Come here." "On one condition." "That we can have four kids." "I can even go along with five." "I want to be woken up at night." "Comfort them when they cry." "You know it isn't yours." "I know that." "But I'm still here." "You can't even touch a diaper." "Well, you can handle that part." "Subtitles:" "Nick Norris" "Come here..." "Jacob?" "I love you." "I love you too." "Can I sleep in here?" "Are you up?" "I can't sleep." "Lie down next to daddy." "I can't sleep." "Vilde was just crying." "Lie down here." "Tomorrow you can bring all your friends too." "Careful..." "There." "Jacob?" "Have I forgotten someone?" "Maybe." "I'm pregnant." "I want a sister!"

"Hitomi." "Let's get married." "Marry me." "Tomoko." "It's dangerous." "Take a picture." "Now?" "Yes, now." "No." "Marriage always makes a woman prettier." "No, come on, take it together." "No way, you're too photogenic." "I'm not, Tomoko." "Forget it." "Smile." "Take it yourself." "JAPAN" "Come and farewell to this house." "More pictures." "Thank you." "This means a lot to you, I shouldn't take it." "This music box can make dreams come true." "The old man from the antique shop told me." "Crank it and it really works, and make you wish." "You're such a good friend." "I envy you for having such a cute husband." "Take this camera along, it'll help you kill time." "Thank you!" "Mr. Tatsuya doesn't look like Chinese." "He was born in Japan." "This is his first time living in Hong Kong." "Hotel Manager at such a young age?" "Why can't I have your luck?" "It doesn't matter." "You don't care about me anymore." "Don't be silly, Tomoko." "With this music box your dream will come true." "Tatsuya" " Lend it to me." "Di Caprio." "I love you." "Do you believe there's a God?" "I'm God." "Do you believe there's a God?" "Do you believe there's a God?" "God." "I am God." "Excuse me." "Hitomi." "Sorry!" "Let's eat at the country club?" "Sure." "What did you learn today?" "Do you believe there's a "lip"?" "Not "lip", it's "God"." "Believe there's a "God"?" "I'm God." "Hitomi." "Do you worry about living in Hong Kong?" "A little, I've never lived abroad, you'll become the only one I know there." "If we fight, I'll be helpless." "But I'll feel more helpless without you." "Silly, I'll take you around." "Promise me to get me a purse." "Of course, I've reserved the best French cuisine." "Really?" "Yes." "And a night view at The Victoria Peak" "Yes." "Look at you, yes man." "Alright.." "You sure?" "Yes." "There's a blue sea beside him." "A deep blue sea." "Sounds of peaceful waves keep him company." "Tatsuya is not lonesome." "Take a care of yourself." "And let Tatsuya rest in peace." "I can't." "Look down!" "I made the first move to Tatsuya." "Really?" "Not him?" "It was the first time I spent Christmas alone." "I went to the movie by myself." "I was 5 minutes late." "So I ended up reading posters in the lobby, a cloud of smoke blew in my face." "Like this?" "There was a man smoking beside me." "I asked, "Won't you join me for a drink?"" "And then?" "I was rejected." "He rejected you?" "He had to get back to work." "Then?" "We watched that movie again the following day." "Tatsuya.." "Let's get married." "Marry me." "I must go to Hong Kong." "We'll see the nightview together." "Tatsuya never lied to me." "Never." "Take it along." "And keep to make your dream come true." "HARBOUR PLAZA HONG KONG" "Kim sent you over?" "Get over here." "This's Mr. Tatsuya office." "How much a gram?" "Ten thousand." "20 million for 2,000 grand?" "200,000$ bucks for all that." "Bros, you're kidding me." "I don't have time." "Take him in." "Sit." "You know who I am?" "Gene." "Get lost, idiot!" "Stay back!" "Don't.." "Bitch!" "What the hell." "Stop fighting." "Stay and be sensible." "You know who I am?" "You know whom you're talking to?" "You see." "Anti-Narcotic Department is all over you." "you'll run out of business." "My boss Kim wouldn't mind dealing with you." "Let's compromise, take half, what do you think?" "I forget to introduce myself." "I'm Karbo." "Tatsuya Misawa." "Can I take this?" "Karbo, cops are here, probably heading your direction." "There's staircase going down to the lobby." "Gene, I'll arrange the meeting." "I've been waiting for you so long." "Be quiet." "Squad 3, search from up to down." "And we'll start down here, over." "What the hell, why was the police on the "spot"?" "Mistake, false information." "I talked to their department head." "They know we're following up this case, they'll stay away." "You'll get me into a lot of trouble." "Karbo, trust me." "We've talked it out," "I promise that it won't happen again." "Better not?" "I've been tracking this case for a long time," "I don't want to mess it up." "Why didn't you keep us informed?" "Inform?" "I never had to." "If you inform us early, we won't end up in a mess." "There was never a problem in our cooperation." "Contacting you can reveal my identity easily." "Hold it, officer Ko, you don't trust me?" "That's not what he means." "We're just worried about you," "Like others, getting longer, and acquainted with those criminals." "I know what you mean." "Listen." "I've sacrificed to a lot for this case." "What are you trying to say?" "Sorry!" "Karbo, I don't care how you handle this case, but remember, you're a cop." "I got their transaction record." "I'll make an arrangement, then you can bust them all." "Karbo, take care anyway." "Tung, I don't trust him." "I do." "He thinks he's a hot shot, too many ideas." "Sometimes a drug deal, sometimes the accounts, all bullshit." "He's probably a betrayer." "You meant he's a betrayer of those triad?" "Or he'll betray the criminal case, and affiliated to our officers?" "How do you feel?" "Where is he?" "That man?" "The one that brought you here?" "He left." "Taxi.." "Please.. car." "Follow.." "Did he desert you?" "Yes." "Bastard, what a heart of stone." "I'll get you and give you a lesson." "You think you can get away?" "Follow that car." "Please, excuse me." "Please, excuse me."

"Men are all alike." "Unreliable, women to us, not a big deal!" "Be smart." "Tatsuya's dead." "He is dead." "Don't stay too long." "Close the door when you leave." "Spade." "Bingo." "Interception." "Karbo's, not me." "Brat!" "Sportsmanship please!" "Karbo, I've never seen you up here." "There's always a first time." "You must be here for a purpose." "A girl waiting for you at home?" "You're avoiding her." "Tell me, have you ever troubled by a girl?" "Yes, you fatso." "Yes." "I've borrowed your shirt and coat, return to you later, Hitomi." "Hitomi" "Good morning." "Good morning." "Where have you been at this early hour?" "Many bad guys are around here." "In this building." "Tatsuya was the best tenant, rent always on time." "Unfortunately, his death left you widowed." "I understand." "Because I've been through it." "Dinner at my place, my nephew's coming over." "He's an architect, in his 30's." "Do you get what I mean?" "Telephone." "Sorry, bye." "Hitomi." "Tomoko." "Where have you been?" "I kept calling you." "Sorry!" "Are you happy there?" "Tomoko." "Today, I ran into a man that looks exactly like Tatsuya." "Tung." "Yes." "It's me." "I waited for you all night." "How's it going with Kim?" "Nanfung Factory, noontime to-day." "Be careful." "Alright." "My signal is: it's fake, then you can bust a move." "Okay." "Karbo, when cops enter, get down but no guns." "That's our signal." "They know there's undercover." "but don't know who, your identity must be kept secret." "When it's done, you're free." "I know, it's not my first time." "Get me a video game for your daughter." "Promised her a birthday present." "Thanks." "Remember." "Take care." "Same with you." "Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday?" "I still hear your voice." "Softly calling my name." "But I know my answer's in vain." "Cause I couldn't be with you." "When you needed help and rescue." "From the darkness that took you away." "Happy Valley." "At the story's conclusion." "Or will there be just endless pain?" "I still hear your voice." "Softly calling my name." "Although destiny torn us apart." "You still burn like a flame in my heart." "Hello, I'm Tatsuya Misawa." "I'm not home," "Leave a message after the beep." "Please leave your message, have a nice day." "Hello, I'm Tatsuya Misawa." "I'm not home," "Leave a message after the beep." "Please leave your message, have a nice day." "Baby." "I love you." "I expected to make a fortune yesterday." "The damn horse lost again." "Damn, I want to burn the Jockey Club." "Gene, burning down the place won't help!" "Kim, you won again yesterday?" "Not only yesterday but everyday." "Is it the inside news or the Jockey?" "Never the inside news." "Those bastards, who always give false information." "Account." "You sound like a pro." "Big bucks don't come from the Jockey Club." "They take away a lot from the pot." "The reminder then goes to the pool, and we fight for the leftovers." "If you want to win some money, we should aim at the air heads." "Who don't know shit about horse racing." "And anything about horses." "Kim, tell me how the horses sleep?" "If you screw a woman whole night long, what will she look in bed?" "What?" "Like a dog lying on bed, buttock up." "You've got it." "At the race, it's a real battle." "Horses are you real friends, not men." "Be a winner, you must pay them a visit." "Try to observe their eyes." "Get the stuff." "OK." "If you see the fury in their eyes, and bloody power.." "Officer Tung, we know they're trading firearms." "We take over." "My boys are in there." "Sorry!" "Direct orders." "Why is there rage in horses' eyes?" "Because of injections." "Sure win." "Gene, this secret is only between us." "We then have advantage over others." "What?" "What the hell?" "Freeze!" "Damn!"

"Be aware and block the neighborhood!" "Landlord again." "It's okay!" "Yes, I..." "Here's your music box." "Can I come in, I'll have.." "Why was there SDU?" "Tell me too." "There was information." "They weren't dealing drugs but firearms!" "OK, where's the firearms?" "But there weren't drugs either." "What do you mean?" "According to your boy," "Kim has a drug trade in Nanfung Factory." "Now that Kim is dead, there's no evidence." "Karbo is missing together with the drugs." "Tung, give me a better explanation." "You're trying to frame me, and put all the blame to my boy." "I know, you're against me." "You want to set me up." "You know better than I do." "Get out." "Congee?" "I promise." "I'll be home early." "I've been waiting." "To make your favorite potato beef, and have dinner together." "You okay?" "Yes." "Thanks." "Weird, huh?" "Exactly the same." "His name is Tatsuya." "How'd he die?" "Car." "Car accident?" "Before our wedding." "I'll be leaving soon." "My name is Hitomi." "I'm Karbo." "Karbo?" "You don't like taking pictures?" "You don't have any at home." "Everything is in here." "Girlfriend?" "She died a few years ago." "I've almost forgotten." "Liar." "None of your business." "You better don't ask so much." "I'm not reliable." "Why didn't you come for dinner?" "Stomachache." "Stomachache?" "I know that Simon is too old for you." "Simon?" "My nephew." "Gilbert is different." "He's a doctor, young and educated." "Gilbert?" "My other nephew, is he too young?" "He'll be graduating next year." "But be the lovers first, he has a promising future." "Younger husband is common in Japan, right?" "He saw your picture." "He's fine with your age." "What?" "You got company?" "Tatsuya just passed away, and you've another man now?" "What?" "Ghost!" "What happens?" "One, two, three.." "Up down, left right.." "London bridge is falling down." "Mandy." "Mom's here." "Mommy." "Are you happy today?" "Yes!" "Tung." "Gift from Karbo." "A goodbye kiss." "Bye, dad." "We're leaving." "Bye-bye." "Mom, Uncle Karbo got me a present." "Communication problem again?" "Are you hidden something from me?" "I know what you're thinking." "I'm on it." "I still over my superior a report." "Anyhow, I'll protect you, I promise." "Who needs your protection?" "I just want to know what's going on." "Ok, no one trusts me." "Then don't trust anybody." "I've always been the one backing you up." "You know what?" "I suspect that someone in the force wants to frame you." "Who?" "Save your breath." "Officer Ko?" "No evidence, God knows!" "I'll check it out." "You don't have to trust me." "But you shouldn't expose yourself." "Where can you hide?" "A safe place?" "Don't worry, I'm OK." "I got Kim's transaction record disc." "OK." "Call me if you want it." "How was Mandy's birthday?" "Great!" "Well, you owe me $800 dollars." "I got her the video game for you." "She didn't even want my present." "You happy?" "Of course." "Really?" "Yes." "Then, in return, I don't owe you, right?"

"Did I tell you before, the man looks exactly like Tatsuya." "He's at your place?" "Don't get me wrong, we're not what you think.." "What?" "He also has his voice." "Really?" "Let me talk to him." "What are you up to?" "Nothing." "Alright." "Karbo, my friend." "Hello." "Hey listen!" "I don't care who you are." "I just want to let you know Hitomi is a very innocent girl." "Don't do anything stupid to my best friend." "I know!" "Otherwise I could have "get her laid"." "Speak English, no Chinese." "Tomoko, what are you saying?" "Hitomi.. hello.." "I'll call you back." "Sorry!" "I'll do it myself." "Stop dreaming." "I'm not your fiancé." "Take a close look." "Go back to Japan." "For once, let me.. persist my dream." "To be Tatsuya for a day." "Please!"

"Go ahead." "Please." "Hitomi." "It's foggy." "Tatsuya planned all of those." "He left me a lot of memories." "It carries all his love." "I don't want to forget any of this." "I still can't accept the fact that he's gone." "It was too sudden." "Well, just about, and I'll be alright." "Don't worry." "I'll be alright." "Sorry, I get you involved." "I'll be sensible." "We're finished." "You don't look O.K." "Come on, I promise you." "See the most beautiful nightview together." "Who says we're finished?" "Haven't even started." "Come on!" "Don't.." "Bye." "One more left!" "So cute!" "Really?" "I've a lot of coupons at home." "I'll give them all to you." "Keys." "Please." "Thanks." "Look, you can trade.." "..rabbit candles as many as you want."

"Getting a visa!" "How come you've never questioned my occupation?" "You'd tell me what I need to know." "I'm an undercover cop." "Undercover." "Undercover?" "Karbo is a brave detective." "I'm proud of you." "I'm being framed." "No problem, I'll be your guardian angel." "Why?" "I love to, so, can't I?" "The latest news from the customs." "He went to Mainland China."

"Karbo." "Stay clam, let go of Tung." "Drop the gun and we'll talk." "Why didn't we talk yesterday?" "This won't get you better anywhere." "Karbo, I promise." "We'll sort things out in the room." "Karbo, no." "Get back!" "Go." "Calm down.." "Karbo." "Go in." "Karbo." "This will lead you to a dead end." "Move." "Go." "Bastard!" "Karbo, it's all my fault." "Why do you frame me?" "I thought we were buddies!" "I sacrificed my girlfriend.." "..because of you." "Why are you doing this to me?" "Karbo!" "Give me a chance.." "Look at me!" "You pussy?" "Look at me." "Bastard." "Shoot me!" "Tung!" "On your knees." "You son of a bitch." "I warned you to stay away from Kim." "You had to get in my way." "Tung, it's really you." "Right, it's me." "I killed him." "I got his money, so he forced me to be his informer." "He deserved it." "With this money, my life with my daughter will be easier." "When I kill you both, no one will suspect me." "I'll be innocent, I'll be okay." "Karbo, don't blame me!" "You leave me no choice." "The gun's only loaded with 2 bullets and it'd been fired." "You guys set me up." "Karbo, welcome back." "No, I'm tired and sick." "Give me a break." "When Tatsuya died, my soul had gone with him too." "Like a zombie, living in the heart of darkness." "My paradise lost." "Until fate brought us together." "We're both alike in persisting of love." "Time flies when we're together." "You light up my life again." "I wish for you the same, well-lived everyday." "Truly, you give me hope to carry on." "Love is splendid." "Karbo, this is what you've inspired me." "I wish both of us, everybody." "All can have a loving heart." "Remember I had a cream in the boat?" "I dreamt of you holding me tight in the Peak." "Was it Karbo or Tatsuya?" "I could not tell." "I'm Hitomi, nice to meet you." "And you?" "I'm Karbo, nice to meet you." "Where've you been?" "I've been waiting so long."

"Mr and Mrs Ambrose Smith" "Yes, but you weren't a writer then You were flustered" "You were young and flustered" "Well, considering what was about to take place, I had a right to be" "Yes, of course you did" "They must have known" "Mr and Mrs Ambrose Smith with red faces and no wedding ring?" "(CHUCKLING) I think they probably did" "I also look guilty when I lie, you see, always have" "That was a little white lie Everyone tells little white lies from time to time" "Yes" "Yes, I suppose they do" "Why are you looking like that?" "Oh, I was just thinking Some white lies are whiter than others" "Lionel's a psychiatrist" "Really?" "How fascinating" "Absolutely fascinating" "Oh, it's just a job, really" " No" " Please!" "Look, you can follow me around all day, on your knees, if you like, but I am not treating Stephen" "Nobody mentioned anything about treating He just wants to talk to you" "In my professional capacity as a psychiatrist?" "Yes, but I didn't know he meant that till it was too late" "(SIGHS)" "Presumably if he'd asked you for a judo lesson, you'd have given him one, would you?" "Well, of course not I don't know a thing about judo" "Well, I don't know anything about psychiatry" "Yes, well, it's much easier to pretend to be a psychiatrist than it is to be a judo player" "That's the most extraordinary claim I've ever heard" "Look, a girlfriend of mine has been to a psychiatrist once a week for months" "And she can hardly get a peep out of him" "He thinks she ought to work her own solution out by herself, so he just listens and says "I see" a lot" "She pays him for this, does she?" "Yes, she says it's doing her good Unloading her problems is doing her good" " Months, you say?" " Almost a year" "Well, I'm not seeing Stephen every week" "Look, he just wants a chat" "I'm not messing about with his mind" "Oh, well, let's face it There's not much to mess about with, is there?" "That's not the point" "If you told him I was a surgeon, you wouldn't ask me to take his appendix out, would you?" "Oh, come on!" "Credit me with a bit of common sense" "Oh, God" "(DOORBELL RINGING)" " That'll be Stephen" " What?" "Well, when you were in the bath, he rang and I said to come round about 10:00" "You know, best to get it over with" "I think this is the unfairest thing anyone's ever done to me" " And I do mean done" " Yes, I know" " Hello, Stephen" " Oh, good morning" "Lionel, this is awfully good of you" "Oh, come in, Stephen Erm, go through I'll be with you in a minute" "Now, Lionel, please" "Have you just had a session?" "Yes, we have" "Extraordinary" " I'll see you tonight" " You can't do this" "Oh, I know I know" "Please Please, Lionel Please!" "Look, Stephen, I" "Oh" "This is where you want me, is it?" "Yes, that'll do" "I say, this is very relaxing It's not at all like consulting" "It's more like a home, really" " I see" " Pardon?" "I said, I see" "Poor Jean" "Now, why "poor Jean" again?" "Well, I mean, meeting him so late in life" "You know how fond I was of David, and I know he'd have been absolutely delighted if you'd met someone, well" " What, after a decent interval?" " Yes" "Yes, well, I know you would, but" "Well, now I have met Lionel" "But so late" "That's the second time you've said that" "We're not exactly in our dotage" "No, no Of course you're not" "And companionship can be a wonderful thing" "In its own way" "Poor Jean" "Penny, I think you ought to know that my relationship with Lionel goes a long way beyond companionship" "Good gracious Does it?" "Of course" " You mean" " Yes, of course" "But you didn't say" "Well, it's not the kind of thing you throw into the conversation right away, is it?" " I think it's wonderful" " Good" " But you didn't say" " No, we've done that one" "Yeah, but I mean," "I've automatically put you in separate rooms" "Oh, oh!" "Oh, no Well" " That's fine That's all right" " No, no, no It isn't fine" "You should have said" "No, I'll change things around upstairs It won't take a jiff" "Good Lord!" "Is that the time?" " I'm ready for bed" " So am I" "I'm not I'm not tired at all" " Shall I make some more coffee?" " No, no, no There's no need for that" "I know Let's play Trivial Pursuits" "It's 1:00" "Oh, is it?" "Everybody tired?" "Oh, all right, then I'm off, then Good night, everybody Good night" " Psst, Lionel" " What?" " Shh Shh - (WHISPERING) What?" "We're in here" "What do you mean we're in here?" " We're in here" " Why?" "Well, Penny changed things round" "Oh, did she?" "We are guests" "I know we're guests, but that's no reason for her to" " Well, why did she change things round?" " I don't know" " I better have a word" " No" " It was me" " I see" "Don't smile" "It wasn't intentional" "What are we going to do?" "Against the grain of today's behaviour, we're going to act like grownups" "It is a bed made for two people" "True" "Why are you cuddling a cushion?" "Well, it's not just a cushion, is it?" " Isn't it?" " No" "It's another chapter for the book" "There isn't going to be a book" "And if there were, there certainly wouldn't be a chapter about cushions" "Not cushions This cushion" " Sorry?" " I do wish you'd follow my thread" "Where to?" "Never-Never Land?" "It's a perfectly logical train of thought Look" " This could go on all day" " All right, then There" " Or all week" " Look, where is the cushion?" "The cushion is on the floor" "Why?" " Because you put it there" " But why did I put it there?" "I can only assume that" "Oh" "At last Oh" "Are we alone?" "Er" "Unless there's somebody under the sofa, yes" " I meant Judith or Sandy" " Yes, I know you did" "Yes, they left a note on the fridge "Painting the town"" "I'm glad" "You're getting very liberal" " I mean, I'm glad they're out" " Mmm" "So am I" "At last we've got a bit of weekend to ourselves" "That was very well timed, wasn't it?" "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to lean on me" "I wasn't going to lean on you I was just going to snuggle up" "No, that would get in the way at the moment" "Oh, I'm sorry" "In the way of what?" "Well, all this should have happened all those years ago, you know?" "I mean, your letter would have reached me in Korea and I would have come home and" "Well, actually, I'd have done this" "(GROANS)" "But my knee wouldn't have clicked then" "Yes" " No, it wouldn't" " Yes, I will marry you" "Well, I haven't asked you yet" "Yeah, but you were going to, weren't you?" "Well, yes, but I'd sooner actually say it, if it's all the same to you" "Oh, sorry" "You all right down there?" "Yes, I'm fine" "Now, you may" "Thank you" "You may think that I've taken a long while getting around to this" "Yes!" "No" " There is a reason" " Cold feet?" " May I finish or not?" " Sorry, sorry" "I didn't really have anything to offer you, you see" "I mean, dribs and drabs of money from the book The odd lecture" "I mean, the television money, that's fine, but it won't last forever" "But now with a house, I can offer you something proper, something real" " That's why you were going on about the money" " Mmm" "It'll probably sound stupid but that's the way I am" " No, it's not stupid" " And there's something else" " Oh, is there?" " Yes" "I fell in love with you the first day I met you" "And I don't think I've ever stopped loving you" "Well, that's it, really" " I love you, too" " Well, that's good" " Can I say yes now?" " Yes, please" "Yes" "There's always something, isn't there?" " What is it?" " My knee's locked" "Doesn't matter" " What you doing?" " It's our wedding photographs" "Because?" "Well, a few photographs never hurt a book" "No, I suppose the odd holiday snap would have brightened up War and Peace." " Well, I'll ignore that" " Oh, I thought you might" "Now, that one would make a very nice cover" "Us on a cover?" "Do you seriously think that would be a selling point?" "I don't see why not We look quite respectable" " Quite nice, really" " Oh, well, that clinches it" "You can almost hear the buzz in the bookshops, can't you?" ""Let's buy that book with those nice, respectable people on the cover"" "Now, I do wish you'd be more positive about this" "There's certainly a chapter about the wedding Everyone loves to read about a wedding" "Yeah, but nothing happened" " Sorry?" " Well, apart from me marrying the woman I love" " It was quite uneventful It wasn't a chapter" " Oh" "I'll tell you what would make a chapter, though A long chapter" " Well, that's better What?" " The list of everybody you wanted to invite" "That would take up to 200 pages, at least" " Where's your list?" " It's in here" " Well, how many people on that?" " Seventy-eight" " Seventy-eight?" " Well, it'll come down a bit" " Oh, really?" " Yes" "You must be very careful not to leave people out They can get very hurt" "Who are all these people?" " I mean who, for instance, is Sandy Gilchrist?" " Sandy Gilchrist" "Well, he's my chiropodist" "He's a sweet man and he hasn't had an easy life" "Oh, well, if that's the criterion, that list's going to get bigger, not shorter" "Now, don't just make sweeping statements about it" "Now, just tell me one thing" "How on earth do you expect to get these hundreds of people into this house?" "There are not hundreds and that's no problem Guests spread out at a wedding reception" "Half of them on the roof, presumably" "Right, that's done it Come on" " Where are you going?" " We're going downstairs, come on" " What, now?" " Yes, now I just want to prove a point" " It's 11:00" " Well, there is life after 11:00 Come on" "(IMITATING JEAN) Let's clear out the cupboard under the stairs while we're at it" "Now, we'll move the furniture back and they'll all stand about in little groups" "Now, tell me, how much room does a little group take up?" " I mean, say four people" " Well, about" "About that much" "That's if they're all standing like this" "And how much would your group of four people take up?" "Well" " Say about that much" " Well, they're all really huge people, are they?" "No, not particularly" "But you don't stand about at a wedding reception with your hands at your sides" "I mean, people have drinks in their hands and they make gestures while they talk" "Gestures?" "You didn't say anything about flailing your arms about" " Oh, maybe I exaggerated" " Yes, you did" "Anyone who flailed their arms about like that would need a whole room to themselves" "Well, you gesture, then Just naturally" "Well, all right" "That's not natural" "Yes, it is" "People don't gesture like that" "Not unless they have extraordinarily short arms" " Well, you'll need a secretary" " To help me dry two coffee mugs?" "No, to help you with the book" " You're like a terrier with a bone" " Well, you will" "Look, it's a nonexistent book, so I'll have a nonexistent secretary How's that?" "Well, put your mind to it and the book could become existent" "That a real word?" "I think so" "Anyway, you know what I mean" "And if you do get down to it, then you will need a secretary" " This would be a handpicked secretary, would it?" " Of course Why do you ask?" "Just thinking about Daisy" "Who?" "The secretary I had that you didn't handpick" "I don't remember" "(CHUCKLING)" "Well, you'll be glad to hear that we've sorted everything out" "And we've decided to be very large-hearted and not envy Sally Curtis because she's perfect" "Good" "And you don't have to see her again, do you?" "No" "Not unless she's so besotted with me that she can't leave me alone" "Ha You should be so lucky" "Lucky?" "I couldn't be doing with anybody who's perfect I much prefer you" "I suppose if I think about that for a very long time," "I could take it as a compliment" "Of course" "Well, I better be going" " You might even get to like her" " Oh, now we're getting into the realms of fantasy" "Look, you're bigger than she is" "I know that!" "Bigger-hearted" "Try it Make the first move You might be surprised" "Are you thinking of becoming a United Nations peacekeeper?" " At least give it a chance" " What, 'cause I'm suddenly big-hearted?" "Not suddenly" "Oh" " See you tonight" " See you tonight" "(DOORBELL RINGING)" " Good morning" " Good morning" "I'm Daisy" "Sally Curtis sent me to do some secretarial work for Mr Hardcastle" "Oh, did she really?" " Come in" " Thank you" "Look what Sally's sent you" "Hello I'm Daisy" "Good morning" "Come through I've just made a pot of coffee" "This way Here" "I'll kill her I'll kill her" "Good morning Gwen Flack" "Oh, yes, Mrs Flack Do come in I'm Jean Pargetter" "Oh, I only know you by repute, of course" "I've been sent by your other branch" "Apparently Daisy wasn't found completely satisfactory" "No Apparently not" "Do come through Mr Hardcastle's in here" " Good morning Gwen Flack" " Ah Good morning" "This is Daisy's replacement" "Replacement?" "Apparently Daisy wasn't found completely satisfactory" "Wasn't she?" "Look, Mrs Flack, there's some fresh coffee in the kitchen" "Down there Why don't you go and help yourself to a cup?" "Well, that's very kind Very kind" "Don't you wrinkle your nose at me" "Where were we up to?" " You'd just closed the bedroom door" " Oh, yes" "Well, at the risk of sounding prurient, what happened next?" "I said, "Hello"" "But you'd just had dinner downstairs Why say hello?" "I don't know why I said it, I just said it" "Well, it doesn't sound very romantic, does it?" "What about something like And I know I'm not a writer, but what about something like, "Oh, my darling, you look so lovely"" " I couldn't have said that" " Too shy?" "No, Jean was in the bathroom I couldn't see her" "Now, I don't want you to get ahead of yourself, but did you undress?" "Well, I didn't jump into bed with all my clothes on" "Well, that brings us to the issue of socks" " Does it?" " Yes" "I know I can't speak for the whole of womankind, but a man taking his socks off last is a dead turnoff" "Well, you'll be thrilled to hear that I never take my socks off last" " Oh, good" " Anyway, after I said hello" "Mr Flack was rather keen on, well, that side of things" "And surprisingly enough, he was quite good at it I mean, for a short man" "And Jean said, "Yes, here I am"" "But he did develop this habit of taking his socks off last" "And it didn't do a lot for getting me in the mood, as you might say" "We've established that I didn't" " And then" " Strange things, socks" "I know they serve a purpose but when it comes to that side of things, they're best disposed of as quickly as possible" "I find that cardigans come under the same category" "I mean, a nice enough garment in their own right but somehow just not conducive" "Would you excuse me for just a moment, Mrs Flack?" "Yes, of course" " I thought I was taking you out to lunch" " You are" "Well, they don't serve meals in Judy's room" "No, I'm just sorting through some books that Judy wants me to send her" " Harvey the Hamster." "Isn't she a bit old for that?" " Oh, no That's one of her favourites" "It's a lovely book He goes to sleep in his little house at the end" "There's nothing like a dramatic climax" "Anyway, Judy wants it" "I shall never understand women" "Oh, I should give up trying" "Oh, look A book of love poems" "If I did understand women, I'd say that was more natural than a book about a hamster called Harvey" "It wasn't on her list" "Oh, look There's an inscription in it as well" ""To dear Judith with fondest wishes, Eric"" "You're going to say, "Who's Eric" now, aren't you?" "I'm not, as a matter of fact" "I shall never forget your face when you first saw him" " Judy was on the rebound at the time" " I know, but even so Eric" "Yes, even so Eric" " Cheerio, then" " Oh, where are you going?" " Out" " Anywhere special?" "No, just out Bye" " That's significant" " I thought it might be" "She doesn't want to be here when Eric comes" "I'm beginning not to want to be here when Eric comes" "Look, if he's very short" "Yes?" "No, I mean really short" "Don't stand next to him, will you?" "Now, don't tower over him" "Well, I'll just sit very low in my seat, like this" "When he sits down I'll pop a cushion under his little bottom" "I'm not sure what to do if he's a giant" "Why should he be a giant?" "Why have you entirely discounted the possibility that he could be just a very average person?" "Because of the way that Judy said, "We'd better get it over with"" " Well, she could just have meant" " Yes?" " Meant" " Yes?" " Well, just give me a minute, will you?" " Yes" "You see, you're beginning to have your doubts now" "I wish we were still in Scotland" "What, and have all this going on without us knowing about it?" " All what going on?" " Well, whatever it is" "(DOORBELL RINGING)" "Oh!" "He's here" "JUDITH:" "It's all right I'll go" "Well, this is no good We look as if we're waiting for him to come in" " Well, we are" " Yes, but we shouldn't look like it" "Spread out a bit" "Just spread out a bit" "Mum, Lionel, say hello to Eric" "JEAN:" "Oh" "Hello" "Nice to meet you both" "It is customary to say hello back" " Yes, of course Hello, Eric" " Hello, Eric" " How are you?" " Oh, I'm very well, thank you And yourself?" "Me, oh, I'm very well" "Yes, I'm very well, too" "That's good, isn't it?" " Yes, it is, all being well" " Eric, would you like a drink?" " Oh, no, no, no, I'll do that" " No, I'll do it You all sit down" "Look, I'm here already You all sit down" " Oh, Eric?" " A soft one, please" " Sorry?" " Drink" "Oh" " Eric would like a soft one, please, Judy" " Yes, I heard" "Don't want to blot the old escutcheon after 35 years" " Escutcheon?" " Driving licence" "No, quite" " Oh, thanks" " Thank you" " So, Eric" " Yes?" "You've been driving for 35 years?" "Yes, that's right I took it up rather late, I'm afraid" " Here we are" " Thank you" "What?" "Oh, yes" "Well, here's to" " To" " Eric" "Yes?" " No, I mean here's to Eric" " Oh, thank you very much" "So, Eric, how did you find us?" "I've been here before" "Have you?" "Oh, yes, of course you have Silly question" " We can't stay long" " Oh, that's all right, Judith There's plenty of time" "Is there?" "Well, that's good, isn't it?" "Far less traffic on the roads, of course, when I learned to drive" "Oh, well, there would be I mean" " There There must have been" " Far less" "There's a great deal more now Don't you think so, Lionel?" "Yes, there is Definitely" "Far more Far more" "I wonder what the increase in volume is" "Oh, he's driven off" "Can't have been Eric after all" " What if you were to see something?" " Like what?" "Well, I don't know Anything" "What do you intend to do?" "Lean out of the window and shout," "(IMITATING JEAN) "Take your hands off my daughter, you dirty old man"" "No, of course not, but" "Oh, Lionel, he is too old for her, isn't he?" "I don't think it's any of our business" "Well, of course it's our business We're her parents" "No, we are not" "Well, you're her stepfather" "That makes me sound like someone in a pantomime" "Which means you have no excuse to stand back when there's a family crisis" "I don't consider this a crisis" "But what if he proposes?" "They've only known each other a week" " Yes, but he hasn't got time on his side, has he?" " Oh, for goodness' sake" "Joan Fontaine" " What?" " What?" " You just said "Joan Fontaine"" " Why?" "Well, goodness knows" "You're always waking up and saying strange things" "She was Olivia de Havilland's sister" "I must have nodded off and made the connection" "Well, if you can call it a connection, yes" "It's from Judy She sends her love" "Good How's married life?" "Well, it sounds very good" "Seems that Alistair is finally doing an impression of a real human being" " Had to happen eventually" " Yes" "Wasn't what you'd call the smoothest courtship in the world, was it?" "More like a running battle at times" "Sandy and Harry had some bumpy moments as well" "You can't blame the boy for liking rugby" "Liking?" "He was obsessed with it" "Still, they all had a happy ending" " What was that song?" " What song?" "The one about the bumpy road to love" "I don't know" "Joan Fontaine didn't sing it, did she?" " Marriage?" " That's right The big M" "That isn't what you're supposed to do next, Judy" "No, I know, I I just should have had some warning" "What was I supposed to do?" "Say, "Hey, I shall be proposing to you later today"?" "No I don't know" "Why?" " What kind of a question is that?" " It's a fairly important one" "Well, because" "Look, can we go up to your bedroom?" "This isn't the one about thinking more clearly when we're lying down, is it?" "No" "ALISTAIR:" "This is all wrong" "This is a kitchen You're making coffee" "This should be happening on a golden beach in Acapulco or a snow-covered ski lodge in Saint Moritz" "And would I still be making coffee?" " Judy, I'm serious" " Yes, I think you are" "So this is a kitchen You picked the time and the spot" "Well, could you at least stop making coffee?" "Sorry" "As I told you before, impulse is my middle name" "It suddenly happened to me on the way back from lunch Kaboom!" "Now, the furthest your impulses have ever got you before is asking me to move in with you" "I know And I want you to know that that offer still stands, should you say no to marriage" "Thank you" "You know, I've been thinking," "I really appreciated you coming around yesterday" "There's nothing to appreciate I missed you" "But Saturdays are rugby days" "Postponed it" " The whole game?" " Nothing more to do" "You postponed a rugby game so that you could come and see me?" "No, the game was postponed" " Frozen pitch" " Oh, I see" "But I would have come round anyway" " Would you really?" " Of course I would" "As soon as the game was over" "It's odd, isn't it?" "Here we are, sitting here, talking about where we're going to live and having babies" "Only yesterday you were putting off having lunch with me so you could see a college friend" "And I'm very glad I did, Judy" "Because that's what really made me propose" " You don't mean that it was his idea?" " What, Leo?" "Leo once described marriage as an institution to which only lunatics get committed" "No, it was just seeing him again" "I don't follow" "Judy, the guy was a wreck" "A burnt-out shell of a man A husk" "So you came home and proposed to me?" "Well, don't you see?" "Leo's only a couple of years older than I am" "A guy can't go on burning the candle in the middle as well as at both ends forever" "If I don't do something about it now, I could end up like that" " Which makes me the something" " Well, yes" "What do you think I am?" "A Salvation Army hostel?" " Judy?" " You go and get yourself a nanny!" "Well, in his heart it's always been Judy" "He's just got engaged to another woman" "Yes, but you know what he's like He's a bit of a fly-by-night" "It mightn't last" "And that's what you want for Judy, is it?" "A bit of a fly-by-night?" "Well, at least he's a nice fly-by-night" "I give up I really do" "I wonder what this Mercury's like" "I'm not sure I can actually bring myself to call anyone Mercury" "It could be worse" "She could be called British Telecom" "It's Mercury time" "Look, Judy, if you don't want to go through with this" "Oh, Mum, I can't miss the opportunity of seeing the woman that can make Alistair propose marriage" "JEAN:" "Wow" " Lionel, your mouth's open" " Sorry" " Hello" " Hello" "Hi, guys" " Hello" " Hello, Alistair" " We thought that was Mercury" " What, the plain girl?" "Will you stop frogmarching me about?" "Oh" "Sandy, I love you" "And I want you to marry me and come to Canada with me" "Oh" "I don't say enough, you see I mean to, but I don't, because when I do, it generally comes out all wrong anyway" "I'm just a copper" "It's not enough to offer someone like you, but I've finally realised that's all I can offer" "The thought of being that far away without you, the thought of you not being in my life at all, it's not on" "It's not on" "Sandy, you've got to marry me and you've got to come to Canada with me, and" "Well, that's it, really" "For somebody who doesn't say enough, you did rather well" " So?" " That is a yes, by the way" "Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder" "(ORGAN PLAYING MAJESTIC MUSIC)" "ALL:" "Cheese!" " Oh, lovely lunch, Lionel Thank you" " All part of the friendly service" " What was that main course called again?" " Olivia de Havilland" " Olivia de Havilland?" " What?" "The main course was not called Olivia de Havilland" "I know It was beef something" "Why did you say Olivia de Havilland?" "Because that was the name of the actress we were trying to remember at lunch" "And it suddenly came to me" "But I asked you what the main course was called" " Yeah, I was coming to that" " Oh" "What a relief" "Yes Nothing like a sit-down after lunch" "No, I meant a relief that you heard the question" "I didn't think you'd heard the question" " Pardon?" " Oh, please, don't start" "I can't go through all that again" " Oh, I got some sausages" " That's nice" "You haven't looked at them yet" "No, I said, "That's nice"" "Oh" "Lionel, I think you're getting a bit deaf" "Pardon?" " Hello" " ALISTAIR:" "Hi, Li" "Sorry, I forgot my key" "LIONEL:" "That's all right Hello, Alistair" "Li, could we have a word?" "Yes, if we must Come through" "Is Mum in the kitchen?" "Sit down, Alistair" "(INAUDIBLE)" "Thanks" "Well, this word" "Oh, right" "First of all, Li," "I love you" "I do wish you wouldn't say things like that" "Okay, but it's said and it was meant" "Is there something wrong with your mouth?" "No Why?" "Because when you talk, your jaw keeps wobbling about and you're shouting as well" " Am I?" " Mmm" "Sorry" " Is that better?" " Yes, that's fine" "Mind you, we are sitting quite close together" "As long as we don't sit unnaturally close, I don't mind" "Okay Good" "Right, here goes" "Li, I am aware of a problem" "You've noticed, then" "No, I can't honestly say I have, because I haven't been around too much lately, but Judy has and she tells me that Sandy has, too" "I think we might be needing this" "That was Alistair on the phone" "He finally got around to telling Lionel and he's just stormed out of the pub" "Oh" "Oh, look, come on He's not violent, is he?" "Not so far, no" "Look, you two go" "There's no point in three of us getting bashed up" "No, we'll stay Have you never heard of girl power?" "Yes, I've heard of it In our days it was called flirting" "(DOOR SLAMMING)" "He doesn't sound in a very flirty mood" "Hello, Lionel" "Do you know what that fool in the pub has just told me?" "ALL:" "No" "Oh, yes, you do You're all in on it, aren't you?" "Well, let me tell you something I am not a boy" " Look, nobody said" " May I finish?" "Sorry" "And because I am not a boy, my knees crack if I stand up too quickly," "I've been known to doze off in front of the television and, believe it or not, I admit to missing the odd word in a conversation" "But I am not ready for an ear trumpet yet" " Have you finished?" " For the moment, yes" "Well, firstly, no one said anything about an ear trumpet" "Secondly, you are not missing the odd word, you are missing more and more words all the time" " Rubbish" " No, Mum's right, Lionel" "This morning when I asked you if Mum was in the kitchen, you didn't even answer me" "That's 'cause I didn't know" "Well, what about when I came in last night?" "I said, "I've been to a rugby match" And you said, "Yes, I did England won"" " Well, they did" " Oh, really" "Look, before we start "oh-really-ing", consider this" "I think that all three of you have got unnaturally soft voices" " Oh, for God's sake!" " Yes, you have" "It's a wonder I hear anything at all with you whispering all the time" " Oh, really" " You're doing it again" "Well, really" "All right, what about when you're here on your own, watching television?" "You have the sound up full blast" "That's the BBC's fault" "The sound level's never the same for two programmes running" "JEAN:" "Lionel, just stop making silly excuses and face up to facts" "You're making it sound like an accusation We all care about you and we want to help" "There's simply no point turning a blind eye to your hearing" "Is that a mixed metaphor?" "I know what it is You know and I know" "Consider this Consider this" "If I'm supposed to be getting deaf, why are we having a conversation in which, despite your soft voices," "I have heard every word that you've said?" "It could have something to do with the fact that not one of us is more than four feet away from you" "Exactly Judy, stand over there Sandy, stand over here" " Oh, really" " Oh, don't you start" " Now, Judy, say something" " What?" "Say what?" "I don't know Just say anything" "(WHISPERING INAUDIBLY)" " All right, I didn't hear it" " Nor did I, actually" "Something about this afternoon?" "I just said, I think it might rain this afternoon" "Yes, well, say it in a normal voice I didn't ask you to whisper" " I think it might rain this afternoon" " No, you've already said that" " Well, then, we'll get Sandy to say something" " Well, Sandy" "Erm Why do rugby club dancers get boisterous?" "Well?" "Something about oysters?" "Boisterous" " Well, she whispered as well" " I did not" " I heard every word she said" " Oysters" "Oh, very well, then Now, you sit there" " (STUTTERING) Just sit down there" " Yes, all right, all right" "Now No, no glasses" "Now, what card am I holding up?" "Well, I don't know, it's facing you" "Oh, sorry Right, go on, then" "Er, the, er The eight of" "Right This one" " Queen of hearts" " Wrong, the king of hearts" " Ah, but she did get the right suit" " Right" "Which is clearer, the black or the red?" " Oh, this is absurd" " Well, of course it's absurd" "You don't test someone's hearing by whispering in the corners of the room any more than you test someone's eyesight by waving playing cards about" "Exactly, which is why although I didn't even volunteer for it," "I shall be keeping my appointment with the eye specialist in the morning" "Now, come on, Lionel" "See sense" "I'm not having an ear trumpet" "How did it go?" "Oh, how did it go for you?" "Oh, fine, apart from paying his fee" "You know, it's just a minor alteration to the prescription, that's all" "Otherwise my eyesight's fine" "Good So is my hearing" " Oh, you did go and have your ears tested" " Yes" "There was a small problem, but it's fixed" "Oh, thank goodness" "It's remarkable, isn't it?" "You can't see it at all" " See what?" " Well, your hearing aid" " I'm not wearing a hearing aid" " Well, what was the small problem?" "Wax" "A build-up of wax in the ears, but I had it syringed Now everything's fine" " Did it hurt?" " No" "A bit like having a head full of water but, you know, it worked" " And that's all that matters" " I was worried" "Yes, I know I'm sorry I wasn't my usual grownup self about it" " Was there a lot of wax?" " Yes, quite a lot" "They gave it to me as a souvenir" "(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)" "Oh" "And I got some more of those nice sausages as well" "They're in here" "You know, it still seems funny cooking for two" " You still miss the girls, don't you?" " Sometimes" " Don't you?" " No" " Lionel" " Well, on balance, I mean" "They're both very sweet but they do gum up the works from time to time" "What do you mean "gum up the works"?" "Well, take Casablanca." "The place?" " The film" " Oh" " "We'll always have Paris"" " Mmm" " You always cry when they sing the Marseillaise." " Of course" "Well, the last time that was on television, that was a time for us to be sitting together on the sofa" "Me with my arm around you, passing the tissues" "It didn't end like that, did it?" "The three of you sniffling on the sofa, there wasn't even room for me" " You fell asleep anyway" " That's irrelevant" "The fact is, that should have been a time for me to be alone with my girl" " Girl?" " Yes" "Well, it's bound to be on television again" "Well, if it is, I shan't be falling asleep" "You were very sweet about the girls, you know" "Very caring" "A bit like walking through a minefield sometimes, though" "I mean, two pretty, young girls walking around the house with practically nothing on" " When?" " No, they didn't actually do it" "They could have done" "That's what I meant about the minefield" "You did walk in on Sandy once when she was in the bath" " That was the one mine I trod on" " Yes, you should have seen your face" "You should have seen yours after you'd had time to think about it" " You trying to get me drunk?" " I haven't tried that since I was very young" "Really?" "What happened?" "I plied her with Babycham God, she could knock those back" "And?" "I tried to match her with my light ales and got legless myself" "The young Mr Smooth" "Now, what was this earlier about you being a fool?" " Well, I am" " No, you're not" "You're foolish sometimes, but never a fool" "I know it's irrational, but I keep thinking what would have happened if I'd been in the bath?" " What would you have done?" " Well, I'd have said hello" "Then I'd have probably sat on the edge of the bath and had a chat" " Yes, exactly" " Well, there's nothing wrong in that" "No, I know But what if it had been years ago when I was young?" "I'd have torn all my clothes off and jumped in with you" "That's what I mean" "Now, look, I did not consider doing that with Sandy" "No, I know you didn't" "Sometimes I think we need a translator" "No, we don't need a translator It's just me" "I suppose I'm jealous" " I thought we just agreed" " Not of you, of Sandy" "And Judy for that matter" "(SIGHS)" "I shan't say anything I'll just nod" "No, but look at them" "They're young and they're pretty and they're here as a constant reminder" "And you're here" "And you're only a man, after all" "I'm not nodding at that" " And what do you mean "only a man"?" " Well, don't tell me you never notice them" " Well, of course I notice them" " Well, there you are, then" "There I am where?" "Well, chuck them both out, then" " What?" " Well, I can't see any other solution" "But we don't need a solution 'cause there isn't really a problem It's just me" "Well, with the best will in the world, I can't honestly say that you're young and pretty" " No, I know that" " But I think you're beautiful" " What?" " I said you're beautiful" "Have you had a few of those light ales before we started on the wine?" "That's how I see you" "You were beautiful when we met and you always will be" "It's nothing to do with a few wrinkles and an extra pound or two" "Or two?" "It's what you are, it's" "It's what you mean" "I'm not putting this very well, am I?" "Oh, it'll do very well, Lionel" "It'll do very well" "I think we'll leave the washing up" "I was just going to suggest that myself" "So, how often am I foolish?" " I thought you might like these" " Oh, thank you" " Why?" " To make notes" "Oh" "Jean is just about to get into bed" "Yes, here she comes now" " I meant notes about the book" " Yes, I rather thought you did" "Well?" "I'll draw you a picture of a rabbit instead" " You haven't even considered it, have you?" " Yes, I have" "I couldn't have done anything else with you going on about it all day" "So consider the idea considered and rejected We are not a book" "We're not even a paragraph We are just Mr and Mrs Hardcastle" "Well, I still think it's been an interesting story" "Of course it has But to us" "Because we're the actualcombatants" " Combatants?" " Participants" "So let's just keep it to ourselves, shall we?" "You know, meeting again after all those years, we were very lucky, weren't we?" "We got a second chance" "Some people never get a first" "I love you, Lionel" "Just as well 'Cause I love you, too" "If you repeat this, I shall say I was drunk" "But I'm glad you're back in my life again" "You are back in my life again, aren't you?" "I seem to be, yes" "Nice to have a friend" "Yes" "It's nice to have a friend" "What are you doing?" " I'm giving you a friendly kiss" " Oh" "Oh, damn and blast" "What now?"

"You know, it only takes one person to make pasta." "And it's nice to have other people around you when you make pasta." "It's a warm, good, helpful feeling." "Someone can hand you the water, and the pot, and salt." "All sorts of people can be around." "But if everybody wants to stir it with the same spoon, at the same time, it's kinda the pasta cluster-fuck." "This my pasta cluster-fuck." "Let's shoot!" "It's hot." "It's hot." "No power." "No." "India is the loudest city" "I have ever been to... or the loudest country." "Chennai is the loudest city." "It's like a Black Dice album." "Why..." "What, don't whine." "I feel like I'm in some sort of mental institution, or rehab, where they have you do collages about your feelings, but my feelings are apparently about" "a woman who becomes a snake." "Maybe this is all some grand experiment about my inner demons." "Or I can turn it this way, that way." "This is the window portion." "Great." "And this is this portion." "So we could use that wall, as it is." "She looks like a man in drag." "They love that kind of thing." "Melodrama, overdone." "Is this a new film?" "Yeah." " This is new?" " New." " It's current?" " Current." "It's a current flick." "You gotta love it." "Look at that." "Look at that." "Very subtle actress." "Growing up with a film maker father was made even more wonderful by growing up with a painter and storyteller mother as well." "Someone was always making something and ideas were treasured." "But I had no real intention of ever making films myself." "I knew I wanted to paint." "I knew I was a writer." "You know, actually, it happened to me after writing Boxing Helena when I was 19." "Basically, people read it and said," ""You have to direct this."" "And yet, I'd never held a camera." "Not everybody gets to win worst picture of the year." "But I did." "And that would have been just fine." "It was the venom that came out of people who saw it." "It was the schoolyard in my adult life." "And I secretly thought to myself," "I should probably do something that people think I should do." "As soon as I could" "I put my ankles behind my ears and made a baby." "She's my finest production to date." "I got sober." "I had three spinal surgeries." "I cleaned houses." "My job, and I celebrated it, was to be my daughter's mother." "It was 15 years between Boxing Helena and Surveillance." "And I got a call from Govind, and he said we should talk to you about directing this film we're going to do in India." "We want an American director." "It was the legend of Nagin, and she's a fertility goddess." "I really liked the idea of a strong woman who wasn't going to take any crap." "We need you to stab at him as he runs out." "As he runs out?" "Yeah, but you're trapped." "You can't go, and he goes." "He knows he's in trouble." "Yes." "Like that?" "Yes, yes, yes." "I'm so excited." "It works." "How about that, I got a good review." "How about that?" "That's pretty cool, right?" "I got a good review, so" "I needed that." ""The layers of power play, the dark heart," ""the delicious finish, the film covered all the bases" ""of my personal cinematic tastes, and Surveillance has" ""what just might be the J.L. Signature," ""what makes people lover her or hate her," ""all over it."" "Aww." "They called Boxing Helena "torture porn", which is really... it was a fucking fairy tale but people took it really seriously." "I wrote it when I was 19." "Why would I write torture porn at 19, but I guess that's... you never know what people are going to see." "I've got to send this to my dad." "I think the neckline is too much." "Are you kidding?" "It's the best thing I've ever seen." "Oh shut up, Jennifer, come on." "You know what?" "You don't get to say something and then tell me to shut up." "Cause I think it's the best thing I've ever fucking seen." "Come on, Jennifer, it's too much." "And if this is weathered, it will look less revealing." "Right now it looks posed, okay?" "But I'm not going to cover your body." "There's absolutely nothing wrong with it." "Okay?" "You're such a doll, Jennifer." "A dork?" "Doll, I said." "Oh." " What do you..." " I was gonna say jeeze..." "I'm on my period." "Be nice." "You're a doll, I said... a dork!" "It's broken up, and then it's like..." "You know, it's a little less, you know?" "I've left it to you." "Ah, let's see this one." "One side can be left loose, and one side be straight one." "Maybe I'm the nagin and I just don't know it." "Yeah, exactly." " And I'm looking for my mate." " Yeah." " That's why I'm single." " Exactly." "Well, I feel much better about it now." "I have to go do a dance for him to tell me where he is." "Whoop, sorry." "Hey, that's not a bad clearing." "It's just beautiful." "You're got this too." "Yeah, no I love this jungle." "I'd bring her in from here, and catch her." "Yeah." "Just thought I'd pick up smoking again." "I wonder if I were thinner, if I'd be getting more done." " I love you." " I love you too." "I know, but I'm having a very hard time looking at myself." "All right, lamppost scene number... 79." "It sounds like days and days of work, insurance, dangers, you know, like, I have a three days span of time to shoot this chase, and if I have her slipping all over the place" "in these harnesses and doing these tricky stunts, how can I possibly do it in that amount of time safely?" "He's saying there's no insurance, nobody cares." "They figure if they die maybe they come back as an eagle and it's all good." "There's no cause for concern." "I can have her get run over by a train." "She can slip under a train." "And if the guy dies, no big fucking deal." "It's karmic, right?" "So you get reborn." "So death is not like a big, bad thing." "If a stunt person decides to do a stunt," "That's still karmic destiny." "It's still karmic destiny." "The choice he made... was karmically his choice to make." "Was karmically his choice to make." "Well, okay." "Everybody dies, I mean, it's no big deal." "Whether you live for 20 years or you live for 80 years, cosmically speaking, it's just a flash." "You hear that?" "Oh." "Tap, tap tap." "In this, you want this by strength?" "Yeah is important." "More support here, more supporting." "Okay, so we can't shoot here." "I don't know." "It depends on how many people" "I have to bring with me and how many cars." "I need to... here's the most important thing:" "Is, if I say "no", it's because" "I need everyone to just focus on me only as director, not as anyone's mother, not as anything else, but it's me going," ""Does everybody get it?"" ""Don't say another word."" "In 16 days, I say "action" on a comedy horror film, action adventure, musical, love story, and I don't have anything to shoot." "I don't have things locked." "I don't have actors for certain things." "I've been told I have certain things that I don't." "Somebody needs to decide what's happening the next day and I need to know the night before what I'm doing." "And I don't want to complain." "You guys don't need to complain." "We all need to do something." "I shouldn't have any time to bitch." "I should be off to a location, you know?" "Or a back shot listing, or something, you know?" "So we need a plan and a schedule." "Everyone means so well." "It's so frustrating." "If they were assholes it would be different, but they're not." "They're these well-meaning, interested, passionate, creative people." "And yet, there's no... it's all so peaceful." "I think they honestly just do it differently." "I think that it's like the culture is so much more relaxed." "These are people that stop for tea, for Christ's sakes." "You know, we stop for tea." "Don't stick that up your nose." "It's not good." "Today is a loaded day;" "We have got to do a lot of things." "It's like, shadow is coming near so, we have got to lock everything." "We have come closer to shooting day." "Once the shooting begins, then everything starts rolling." "Rolling smoothly." "We have one minute and it's starting to drizzle." "One minute and it's drizzling." "What am I gonna do about rain?" "I'm powerless over the rain." "Give it a rainy feel." "Yeah, fine with me." "Just, I wanted the fires burning." "Because it makes all the sense, because the water fills up the burrows." "They come out, and then she wants to go to the warmth of the light." "Right, except that she was not in a burrow." "She was in an apartment." "And that, as far as any light she could choose, that's the smallest and the furthest away." "Yeah." "That's okay." "Yes, I agree, completely." "But we'll work with it." "So it playing, playing with shadow, tire, mud, mud with shadow, out, re-makeup for the pole." "All right gang, let's do it." "We've got half an hour to finish this, and that's it." "Keep going, keep going." "It's beautiful." "Keep pulling her, keep pulling her." "Beautiful." "Got it, got it, thanks." "We did everything we could do with what we had and that always works out." "It's all good." "Staying very positive." "So what he doesn't know, they want breakfast at seven and fruit salad at 10:30, the light men." "That's the demand." "And they want the working hours to be reduced from seven to six." "What?" "Yeah." "As Govind was saying..." "How you gonna get anything done?" "When will we shoot?" "So are we renting a bus, or are we going on a public bus?" "No, we're renting." "I didn't mean like the public packed and people hanging out the windows and stuff," "I meant like, a tour bus." "I know you wouldn't be doing it if you didn't have to, trust me." "We're taking a big hit." "I'm here to work." "I know what you're doing, so no sweat." "You're fun." "I know." "Will we get two buses, because of all the people?" "We have to look at the positive side, okay?" "Cause, trust me, I've taken a blow too." "But let's not worry about the bus ride, or the plane ride." "Let's just worry about making the film." "Cause that's what matters right now." "We'll all be safe." "I just gotta find a way to make the film." "I see what's happening, and you're 100% right." "If you keep biting her, I swear to god..." "He's not... it doesn't hurt." "It is on me." "We walk on that set and I look like a fucking idiot, and I don't make the movie, and I try and cover my ass." "All I'm doing is covering my ass instead of making the movie." "And I'm fucked." "This is the most publicized fucking thing" "I have ever been a part of, and I was a part of Boxing fucking Helena with a trial." "It's absurd." "I'm not even at day three of the shoot." "I've lost two days." "And now I'm moving everything?" "The whole thing is insane." "Maybe it's gonna force us into a different working style." "We have no way to know." "This is what I got as a schedule." "That's what's taped up there." "And it was handed to me with pride." "I don't want my name on it because I'm that concerned about getting what I want." "So would anyone even believe that you didn't direct it?" "No, they wouldn't." "This is the problem, it's what father did with Dune." "He took his name off of it." "Everybody knew he directed it and he didn't work again for ages." "I mean ages." "They sent him away to make Blue Velvet and that wasn't even supposed to be released." "But that was, it flat-lined." "My father didn't speak for almost a year." "And it was his third film." "I'm not making any parallels, but I know." "I was there for the fucking aftermath." "We're gonna... think there's a way to do it..." "It's just so absurd." "I'm making a movie about a fucking snake that turns into a woman who turns into a snake." "I gotta piece of shit over there with a Pamela Anderson shirt on it and I'm having a nervous breakdown because, like, I can't have fun with it?" "It's absurd." "It's absurd." "Where's the joy?" "How did it become this?" "How could it be this difficult?" "It's absurd." "And I'm sober?" "Are you kidding?" "Better?" "Sugar." "Don't refuse your mother a kiss." "I'll put you back in for another nine months." "Ever since I met you guys, I've always been confused as to who the mother and who the child is." "That's very funny." "Ho ho!" "That's very funny." "Because this is like..." "No, all this is is an issue of manners." "Careful." "Click." "Get up." "You're poorly, poorly directed." "I just want you to know that." "I know I'm going to stand up and..." "Next time you pitch a shit fit, you little pre-adolescent." "To you she's one person." "To me... ha, okay?" "I might as well be a dustbin." "And she's just pushin' that fuckin' thing open and throwin' crap in it all the time." "I survive it with humor, perhaps foul humor, but humor nonetheless." "This what we shooting today." "It's a complete Vikram Gupta house." "This is the first day of the Vikram Gupta house." "And the first shot we're shooting with Divya Dutta." "Bathroom scene." "And cut it." "Very nice, Divya, very nice." "Sweet ass little camera move, her crying, the baby's gone, oh my god!" "Clasping the chest, blood on you, blood here a mother's cry, a child's cry." "It was out of this world!" "Go back there feeling so good you can hardly stand yourself." "Go sit in the air conditioning feeling like you've just broken some world record for excellence." "We have a scene coming up where we have a sound effect of a baby crying in the distance with the wind in the trees, and we've already recorded some tree wind at the film city, so now we have, taa-daa." "This is how we do it in India, folks." "Nice man, so fun, so fun." "What else does he do?" "Have him do another noise." "The cat?" "Cat." "We push in, right?" "His version of prayer, because he's a man of science," "Is thought, right?" "So he's letting the water run all over him, okay?" "I'm a tall, handsome man, "run all over me"," ""run all over me." boom boom boom." "We can push in, push in, push in." "Still talkin'?" "Push in, push in, push in." "Right?" "We have it?" "We have a eureka moment," "Whether he pushes back, I'll let him do whatever he wants." "We'll frame it up." "Next shot is night." "But first we're doing this scene over here for daylight." "I know, I just wondered before that..." "You know that." "I was just testin' ya, Yogi." "Are we gonna have to hold for a puja or somethin'?" "Can we get on that?" "Now." "A blessing, and we need it." "God help us." "For starting." "A little left." "Start right there." "Light that freakin' camphor, and let's make a movie." "Now, I would say, let's be conscious of a couple things." "You can pick this up here, but put it in this hand..." "It's sacrilege?" "You're freakin' kidding me?" "Because this is the hand you wipe your butt with?" "So this is a problem." "Don't... have the lantern lit." "Lantern's lit already, and as we find her, she's pouring the milk." "And cut it." "Sold!" "It's a call sheet for the police station, tomorrow morning." "Super psyched!" "Thanks, you guys, so much!" "Akilesh Mishra, right here." "Call sheet master." "Call sheet master." "You guys." "Call sheet." "You're getting picked up at 6:30 tomorrow?" "And that's cool with me, man, cause I got a call sheet." "Well it is a very, very ambitious film." "I'll give you that two months ago." "In the sense that nobody has done this before in this country, ever." "Most exploitative." "Oh, come on." "It's an admiration of sensual, sexual female bravery." "Hello?" "Oh yeah?" "In India?" "Yeah, in India." "How about yesterday?" "It's about fuckin' time." "Yeah?" "And you just hate him." "Right, do you know this man?" "Do I?" "The sheet drops." "Foom." "I know." "Right." "No, it's horseshit." "I've never seen women squashed the way they are here." "It really freaks me out." "You get out of work." "People, the society rejects you." "So then what do you do?" "That's how it is." "Then you say, "Fuck society."" "It's my life." "It's hypocritical." "I mean I've pushed as much as I could." "But beyond this point, no." "I promise it'll be done tastefully." "Oh, that I know." "Yeah, I'm sure of that." "Come here." "Ready?" "Daddy?" "Where is father?" "My father?" "He's back home." "U.S.A.?" "Yes, U.S.A." "When we have this many people, we need to have then more people paying attention, how many people there are, yeah?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Thank you very much." "Thank you, everybody take five." "Thank you so much." "I love it." "These are the problems to have." "If you're going to have problems, have film making problems." "We're not going to be back..." "I'm not going to be able to go back to school with my head straight, ever." "And if at all, November." "November, December." "Two months of school?" "That's a waste of time." "No it's not." "It will enrich you." "It will enrich me with nothing." "School, it enriches you with nothing." "She could go home and go to school." "She wouldn't be alone." "What, if you had a husband?" "Yeah." "If I had a partner of any kind, of any kind, on any level." "I just cannot, cannot fathom the idea that I can't work and have a lover at the same time." "That makes absolutely no sense to me." "None." "None." "Why is that?" "Men work and have lovers all the fuckin' time." "All the time." "Work and lovers." "Then they shit and eat." "What exactly is the problem?" "Why can't I have that?" "I'm someone's mother and father, you know?" "More pressure." "I'm, yeah, writing and directing." "I want to have friends in my life too." "It can't just be people I sleep with." "That doesn't entirely fulfill me." "But if, given the option," "I like to be having sex twice a day, and working all day every day." "So that, time off actually feels like time off, feels like free time." "And everything else is like gravy." "Sydney, you want to play?" "What do I do?" "You hit it." "It'll fly." "Then hit it again in the air." "Same thing." "If you miss it, you're gone, you're out." "No clue what I'm doing." "Nothing." "Just hit a stick and hit it again." "Tap, tap." "I'm playing the character of Oma, and he's trying to rape a girl, and the nagin, nagin bites and he's all over." "That's all." "I'll leave the lashes for last because it blocks his vision." "I'm looking great now." "Fabulous!" "Oh my god, you look gorgeous." "I've never seen anyone look better dead in my life." "11." "Day 11." "And these are my first rushes." "I hope they're good." "Yeah?" "Good." "Let's shoot it." "Tell them to watch their breathing." "Hold your breath." "Hold your breath." "Cut it." "Thank you, thank you." "Very hard work, very well done." "Okay, She's fainted, she's fainted." "Everybody out, out, out, out." "She gonna throw up?" "It's okay." "We gotcha." "Take a deep breath, okay?" "Don't shake her too much."

"Sorry, that just scared the hell out of me." "That would scare anybody." "Can't leave this." "Everything." "Everything, everything, everything, everything, everything." "All of it." "All the little pieces matter." "We need to just learn to use a dustbin, that's all." "No, I mean, but here's the deal:" "We have no business speaking of gods and loving the Earth, if this is what we fucking do to it." "No business." "It's okay." "Like I'm not pretending." "It should matter." "I don't mind doing it." "I want them to eat so they're ready, and I want to do this, okay?" "Please tell them they're not going to get..." "No, no, no." "No threatening." "No, no, no." "No threatening." "It's not about threatening, okay?" "Just about, when we leave here tonight we should only leave a clean space, that's all I ask." "Nobody else has to do it." "I want everybody else to eat." "Okay?" "I just want to do it so that I don't feel like crap." "Cause I'm standing up, being a big ego American." "I'm making a film about not hurting people, and we're shittin' on the Earth." "So just let me sleep tonight, that's all I ask." "Thank you very much." "Okay, okay, okay." "It's okay." "Please sit, please." "Please sit." "So this is the way it always is, no matter where she is?" "If she's shooting?" "Well it's a very good question." "Cause Mallika's used to this." "Is your back okay, mom?" "Yeah." "Nobody's saying anything to you." "Mallika's knows she got mobbed." "She had her own little version of a mob, which was upsetting." " Who?" " Sydney." "And then I got my hair pulled and pins stuck in my back." "Outside, you shoot anywhere where Bollywood is, like down south they have their own industry, so there wasn't a problem." "Right." "They have their own movie stars, down south." "But north or Bombay, you shoot anywhere, you will be faced with this." "I'm on the adventure." "I want to leave the adventure with a film." "That's all I ask, is that I leave the adventure with a film." " So I need..." " Be positive." "I'm totally being positive!" " You know me." " Exactly." "I just want the protection of production." "Coasters, tilt down, one pass." "Or we'll never get this." "Never gonna happen." "And I'm not going to wait and try and accept the things I cannot change, and have the courage to change the things that I can." " This is coming down?" " Tilt down, tilt down." "Tilt down, boom." "All right?" "Out he goes." "I don't fucking doubt it." "What I'm telling you, too, is" "I'll figure out how to work that, but at the same time, we're also on a severely, extremely exciting, but ambitious project." "I hear you with the two shots in five hours, but I guarantee you, I didn't set out to take two shots in five hours today." "But, we were all here." "Everybody was here, every thing was here, and yet, still, it didn't happen." "So the frustration is immense, tempers are high, it's kind of a nightmare, but I'm going to look back on it and laugh." "Unfortunately I'm going to look back on it and laugh without certain shots." "It's a three million dollar movie." "It's going to look like a three million dollar movie." "We'll try to make it look like a 10 million dollar movie." "But we're not going to be able to make this look like a 500 million dollar movie." "It's not gonna look like Titanic." "And the effort to do that is screwing up the scenes." "And if you can't hack it, quit." "And cut it." "Beautiful." "Commandment one:" "And if I see your mom's stressed out, the main person that I blame is you." "See, do your friends' parents take their kids to office?" "When they're working, do they come and do it?" " Yes." " Yes." "They do." "Well I don't agree with that." "But that's not when I'm working." "See, it's work, this is work." "We can accept that, for now." "This is not asking too much, is it?" "And stillness." "And cut it." "Beautiful!" "Okay, let's move on." "One more for focus." "No, no, nothing more." "It's out of focus." "Govind, Govind, that's what we're ending on." "Okay, but the minute you and I start doing this without consulting each other, it's going to be a problem." "So, just..." "It's gonna rain." "Turn around." "Two minutes it's gonna rain." "I don't doubt it." "I'm just saying I don't have that." "That's my end." "Okay, one more, let's do it fast!" "Ready, ready!" "And roll sound." "Sound's rolling." "Take two." "Roll camera!" "Action!" "And cut it." "Cut it!" "Got the shot, though." "Okay, and then we... slightly wider of her looking at them as they cross, and a tight." "Silence!" "Quiet please!" "Look at that beautiful rain." "Perfect." "When the universe forces you to adapt, you get better things." "And you do adapt." "You just can't fight with each other." "You've got to stay at peace." "Okay, okay thank you." "Woo!" "Here we go, let's make a movie." "Okay, let's go for another take." "Thank you Mallika." "Okay, you're confusing me." "Don't eat my brain." "I checked here." "Watch." "So, right here." "This one I didn't." "Just getting pictures for the kids to go," ""Look at these giant bats!"" "Unfortunately, you can't really tell the size." "And what do I do?" "You just have to do that." "You're just supposed to do that." "Thank you." "There's an issue." "You're furious." "There's all this tension." "The second you see her there's tension." "I can feel it, and so can she, okay?" "Because she's not listening." "Special effects guys, that's their space." "It's not American hang-out space." "It's their area" " I gotcha." "They do their thing." "And we just leave them alone." "And I've got a lot riding on this." "I know." "Because I've invested a huge amount of money on these guys." "I know." "And I'm fucking shit scared." "I'm a paranoid wreck." "If she's upset at somebody else, or uncomfortable about something else, then my whole fuckin' world turns to shit." "Because this doesn't make sense to her, so she's tired and she's far away from home, and it's almost her birthday, and I'm shooting on it." "No, it's... everybody's under so much stress." "It's like..." "What did I do?" "You didn't do anything." "We'll talk about it afterwards, I promise, okay?" "I'm trying to be okay." "No, I think we should save the fangs for when it's vibrating." "But thank you for the option." "Right on, Dave!" "Better blood than vodka." "Now we're makin' a fuckin' horror movie." "Yeah!" "Okay." "Real still, that's okay, let it." "Oh, my god, it's." "That's okay, I know, it's beautiful." "It's beautiful." "Let it be." "I salute you, and ma'am." "I know, it's fantastic, let's go." "Very nice." "Cut it please, thank you." "Ladies and gentlemen, bravo, very good day!" "Woo!" "Back up!" "Thank you so much, thank you." "Just show me how much you're willing to give up your life for the children's." "Yeah?" "And you know he's only hitting you because he's in pain." "But this is your relationship." "This is the choice you've made." "It's a real thing, yeah, yeah." "And stare at each other." "See in his eyes the pain, and you see what you're doing too." "She's your mirror." "And you love him." "I want to love her." "You love her a lot." "You love her a lot, and that kills you." "And it kills you to love her." "And it kills you to love the kids, but you're so filled with rage and sorrow, and pain," "And so when the kids say, "Not without you."" ""I don't want to go in without you, mommy", then that breaks your heart more, and you want to go in after the kids." "Don't make me feel anything." "You don't want to feel anything." "You're trying not to feel anything, but you feel so much." "That face is beautiful, Sonny." "Superb, superb." "Tell her to go inside, inside." "Cut it!" "You smack this thing away, okay?" "You're groping at her, "What's this?"" ""What's this?" right?" "She's trying to listen." "Now, she's going, "What is this?"" "She doesn't know what this is, but she knows suddenly that it's a violation." "And you're like, "what, what, what?"" "And she makes this noise." "She can't speak." "And you go, "Oh ho, oh, a retard."" ""What are you, a fuckin' retard?" ""Oh, hey, can you hear me?" ""Bring me a fuckin' beer, bitch.", right?" "You just start goin' at her and groping at her, and having at her until, bang, bang, you have emotionally, between you and your friend, driven this poor creature into a corner." "Yeah?" "Super cool." "Super cool." "We'll have fun." "Pretty much all the color is put into red." "I know, look out." "You're stuck with me forever now." "Yeah." "I'm going to come to your house someday and be like, "remember me", and you'll be like, "No."" "No, no, no." "You'll say "Remember me?"" "I'll say, "Oh my god, I love you."" "You men, you're all liars." "If I say, you all womans are liars." "Oh, please." "Why do you think I raised a child alone?" "Cause you men are." "You have to trust me." "You don't have any other option." "I don't have any other option." "Right?" "Yeah, I guess not." "Why didn't you slap me?" "I told you to slap me and cut the throat." "Cut it." "I'm not a machine." "I can't replicate all this." "Why didn't you slap me?" "Slap." "Let's do the slap." "That was beautiful." "They aren't gonna slap me!" "Is this a joke, Jennifer?" "No." "Not at all." "Have we come here on a picnic?" "Not a picnic I've been invited to." "I want to hear that slap in my ears." "I want to see." "But then you can't slap you over her and then put a face." "And put a face what?" "Is that enough?" "Or, or..." "Cause if he starts doing it sooner," "If you start doing it sooner, and it's a," "You know, okay, and it's like this, then it's constant, constant constant." "Okay, just like that, yeah?" "Just back here, boom, boom, boom." "Then it's okay for you, there's no marks, but it's just as abusive." "Exactly." "It's all right, keep going." "Cut it." "Freeze for stills and continuity." "Indian two minutes is five minutes, please." "All L.A. people." "No, a Yogi two minutes is five minutes." "Indian two minutes is 15 to 20." "Isn't that crazy?" "Crazy, man." "After this, no man's gonna come near me." "Oh please." "There gonna be knockin' your fuckin' door down." "You've made sure of that." "I have not." "This is for everybody out there who doesn't have one and who wants it." "Oh, stop it." "Okay." "Yes Jennifer." "What do you want me to do?" "Just give me that ass, you know." "We all know how our butt looks the best." "Show me your butt." "You're in the heels." "We're gonna do this." "Yeah?" "Just show me it." "I can't look at it enough." "Final touches on the rear!"

"Pauly, I will find out who did this, and I'm gonna take care of it." "Fine." "You want to know?" "It was me." "I took out the hit." "Ray turned my own people against me."

"How's the recovery coming?" "Touch and go." "I think you need to take a look at this." "We've been piecing this together from some of the shredded material we found." "I pulled this off of APP." "Notice anything strange?" " It's been doctored." " Yeah." " So who's the guy underneath?" " I don't know." "But the guy in the middle, he looks like our man of mystery," "Hakim Shah Massoud." "Mid-level opium trafficker out of Pakistan." "Controls most of Mingora and a few outposts." "This is great." "Dig up everything you can on this guy." "Then get on to Langley." "See if we can put him in a room together with our boys sometime in the last five years." "Maggie." " Have you seen Alice?" " Oh, I thought she left with her sister." " What?" " She left with her sister 20 minutes ago." "Their uncle came to get them." "Is everything okay?" "Yeah." "[CELLPHONE RINGS]" "[CELLPHONE RINGS]" " Hello." " Ethan." "Ethan, where are my girls?"

" It didn't have to be this way, Donna." "Stay in the fucking car." "What are you doing, man?" " You just went right into him." " Yeah, yeah." "Sure, yeah." "Sorry, you know I was texting." "Stupid, I know." "But thank you." "We're good." "Thank you." " I'll call an ambulance." " No, no, no." "It's alright." "It's alright." "Really got to stop that bleeding." " Get the fuck off me."

"Go find out." "If this is some sort of diversion, it's a really lame attempt." "Look, pick him up or don't pick him up." "I don't give a shit." "You're the one who called me."

"Think we finally found our guy." "Hakim Shah Massoud." "He's a dope trafficker out of Pakistan." "It's still a little sketchy." "I had to cobble it together from Pakistani news sources." "So why is he coming after Kelly?" "Seems the CIA's been paying off Pakistani warlords to stop fighting our boys in the Swat Valley." "Maybe this money was meant for him." "I'll kick this Intel up, see where we land." "It still doesn't explain why Kelly has been giving money to families from that Chinook crash." "What Chinook crash?" "uh, the transport helicopter went down over Afghanistan a year ago." "And our boy's been charitable to a couple of the families of the victims." "This is good work." "Keep on it." "Hey." "How's your kid?" "Mm." "Don't ask." "[SIGHS] Sir." "Yes, sir." "Hakim Shah Massoud." "I thought this money was for reconstruction." "Is it possible it was meant for a Pakistani warlord?" "What do you think reconstruction means, Deputy Director?" " Yes, sir." "Of course, sir." " Anything else?" "They mentioned something about a Chinook crash over Afghanistan about a year ago." "Does that mean anything to you?" "Shut it down." "Excuse me?" "Shut the task force down." "Now." "Understood, sir." "You crocheting a sweater down there?" "All done." "Well done." "There we go."

"Your friends are either dead or trying to kill you." "I assume you got a story to tell." "Well, I'm sure when you pick up Ray, he'll... fill you in on the details." "Right, and I'm sure you'll be around when he does." "You know what?" "Maybe we should just take you in now." " Mm." " To be safe." "I think we both know that's not gonna happen." "You abducted a police officer." "You mean the woman who faked her own death, stole $2.5m and fled to Canada?" "I think I'll take my chances."

"Why can't you just let things lie?" "Oh, I don't know, Leni, maybe I care more about this case than the next one." "There is not going to be a next one." "You do this," "I will call the DA, get him to reopen the shooting reviews." "You are looking at a jury trial for the murder of Detective Nicholas Fleming." "God." "You must want that corner office pretty bad." "I don't want to do this." "But be very clear, if you make me," "I will." "I'm not a sellout." "Oakland DA." "Special Agent Marlene Kastner."

"Look, Ray, I'm just trying to help you out." "Easy." "Fuck." "You always thought you were so much smarter than all of us, you East Coast, elitist motherfucker." "I never thought that." "You were never one of us." "I wish that was true." " Give me the rest of the money." " It's not here." " Where is it?" " It's at the hospital in ER." " Well, let's go get it."

"And to be honest, after all these years," "I'm not sure I even remember how much is true." "What do you mean?" "I blamed her because it was easier." "Easier than admitting what a mess I made of raising her, of our family." "What a mess I made of everything." "But I can't stick around anymore, Evie." "I'm just getting in the way." " I'm not going back there." " I know she's not perfect, but she's done better by you than I did by her." "Well, why don't you live with her?" "Well, some things you can't fix."

"And they should've been... they should have been burnt to a crisp, but they weren't." "They were intact." "And where was Kelly when the helicopter went down?" "He was in Pakistan." "So maybe they weren't on board?" "But why would they be undercover in Pakistan?" "Because American soldiers aren't supposed to be there." "We gotta take it to Leni." "The Feds aren't interested." "They wanna just sweep this whole thing under the rug." "But Ethan and Ray don't know that." "Right, try to take it easy this time." "Yeah, bud, you really ought to be more careful."

"[Buzzing]" "Where you been?" "Dinner's been on the table almost an hour, young man." "I'm not hungry." "Well, then, you sit down here until you get hungry." "Dylan." "I have something to talk to you about." "Dylan!" "[Knocking]" "Dylan?" "[Knocking]" "Dylan?" "[Music Volume Increases]" "[Clicking]" "[Buzzing]" "[Clicking And Buzzing Continues]" "[Buzzing Gets Louder]" "[Door Opening]" "I'm glad you're here." "I think we just got our first real break." "What did you find?" "Well, it's what the entomologist" "Rocky Bronzino found." "The flies that ate of the brain and skull of the victim are all female." "Every last one of them." "Exactly how is that a break?" "Well, what are the chances of that?" "You mean that the absence of males suggests there's a reason for the attack." "Behaviorally." "Well, something biological is going on." "Whether it's hormonal or chemical something has caused these bugs to attack." "Or a need to express themselves." "To what?" "This is a kid that calls himself "Sky Commander Winky."" "Agent Reyes and I were interviewing him as a suspect when this happened." "The paramedics arrived and treated him for an aggressive attack of body lice." "Hmm." "Lice are not altogether uncommon in a school environment." "Except that these are better spellers than most of the kids." "So what are you saying?" "That this is just another Dumb Ass stunt?" "[Reyes] Well, that was my first thought." "But the victim here was just too freaked out by this incident to make me believe he'd staged this." "Which leads me to think that while you may be right about this being a matter of biology, someone is directing the biology." "How does one direct bugs?" "I don't know how but we've been running down a long list of witnesses." "[Reyes] A loner who was present at every Dumb Ass stunt and who had a run-in with this kid Winky at school just prior to the lice attacking." "His name is Dylan Lokensgard." "We're going to want to talk to him." "[Doorbell Ringing]" "[Knock At Door]" "Dylan?" "[Knocking]" "Dylan?" "I want to have a talk with you." "[Knocking]" "Honey, can you come out here?" "Dylan?" "Dylan!" "?" "Dylan!" "[Car Engine Running]" "Where are you going?" "To school." "I know where you're going." "Well, what did Natalie want?" "You stay away from her." "Dylan, she's no good for you." "She's only going to get you into trouble." "Natalie and I are friends." "We've been friends since we were kids." "But you're not kids anymore, Dylan." "Which is why we need to talk, honey." "[Frustrated Sigh]" "You're going through changes." "Your body is going through changes." "You don't understand anything." "I don't want to talk to you." "I wish Dad was still here." "You don't know anything about me." "Honey, I want what's best for you." "Dylan!" "Come back here!" "Dylan!" "So many flowers... so little time." "Excuse me?" "Pheromones, Dr. Scully." "Heavy in the air." "Nature's natural attractants." "Driving the insect world to go forth and pollinate." "I'm aware of how pheromones work." "But according to this device there isn't a single pheromone to be found out here." "Well, that can't be right." "The bio-sensor we use is an actual fly antenna over which the pheromones pass." "But I modified the EAG to measure in picograms which makes it sensitive to traces a mile in any direction." "But I'm still not sure why you think that pheromones might cause an otherwise harmless fly to attack a human so violently, Doctor..." "Rocky." "Rocky." "Bugs are small-minded creatures, and therefore very predictable." "They don't have moods, per se." "They react to circumstance and stimuli as they have been doing for millennia." "So what do you suppose they're reacting to out here?" "It may be the bugs are being somehow driven crazy with desire." "You know, they say we humans respond to pheromones, too." "Yeah, I tend to agree with that, yeah." ""Women's Dormitory Syndrome."" "It's believed that pheromones are the reason that women who live together share the same menstrual cycle." "Fascinating." "You know, when a male and female Calliphorid fly mate they stay joined for up to one and a half hours." "One and a half, Doctor." "You know, Rocky..." "I'm a mother." "Mothers are women, too."

"Yeah, your mom made it sound like there was something wrong with you." "Me?" "I'm fine." "What-What did you want?" "[Sighs]" "I wanted to apologize about what happened yesterday in the cafeteria." "Winky can be such a jerk." "I was just worried about you." "W-W-What'd I say?" "Nothing." "No one understands." "My mom and dad think it's just going to go away." "What I'm feeling..." "You-You mean about Bill?" "I wish I could just turn back time." "I wish I could just... make everything go away and start all over again." "I know." "Like-Like when we were kids." "[Quietly] Yeah." "Remember the night we played hide-and-seek on your street?" "Manhunt." "We hid in the tree together." "Our names are still carved in it." "[Awkward Laugh]" "I'm-I'm going to get marked late."

"No." "You have anything against him?" "No." "Do you think it's strange that he was attacked and killed by insects?" "Who wouldn't?" "What's going on in here?" "We're talking to Dylan." "Oh, no, you're not." "Dylan..." "Ma'am..." "No one interrogates my son in my office without my permission." "[Reyes] Just calm down, Mrs. Lokensgard." " [Flies Buzzing]" " He's not a part of that crowd." "What are you accusing him of?" "[Doggett] We're not accusing him." "Just trying to see what he knows." "He doesn't know anything." "He was at the crime scene." "Yeah, well, so were a lot of kids." "Dylan..." "[Buzzing]" "Too late, gentlemen." "Bugs are gone." "Bugs are all gone." "Whatever." "How's he doing?" "He's unhurt, apparently." "Not so much as a single bite on him." "Mrs. Lokensgard?" "I don't think we've finished talking to Dylan." "Oh, yes, you have!" "We're going home." "I've said it before and I'll say it again:" "The whole reason this case is attracting flies is because somebody's full of crap." "I think what we just saw was a show." "Dylan Lokensgard caused those bugs to attack him to make himself look like a victim instead of the perpetrator." "Okay, but how?" "This guy's the Horse Whisperer, only for bugs?" "I don't know how he's doing it but I may know a way to find out." "Where did you get this?" "Dylan Lokensgard provided it to us when we interviewed him." "I have to warn you, there's typically not a lot to be found in a teenage boy's sweaty Kleenex." "You were looking for pheromones." "Aren't there pheromones produced in adolescent sweat?" "Yes, it's what causes B.O., but all too obviously it's not all that attractive..." "to anything." "[Slow Beeping]" "[Faster Beeping]" "I've got a reading here that's going right off the scale." "[Bronzino] Holy Toledo!" "We've got pheromones coming out the ying-yang here." "C-13 calliphorone, and how." "[Rapid Beeping Continues]" "[Steady Tone]" "What happened?" "I think my electroantennogram just... tilted." "What's C-13 calliphorone?" "Insect pheromone." "Where did you find this mother lode?" "A boy named Dylan Lokensgard." "That specimen came from him." "A boy... is secreting bug pheromones?" "That's impossible." "Preposterous." "[Doggett] You're the expert" "Dr. Bronzino." "How else do you explain it, then?" "Rocky?" "A boy is a boy, a bug is a bug." "You can't have it both ways." "Okay, so this boy's going through puberty, right?" "I mean, maybe his body chemistry is somehow just going crazy and it's his raging teenage hormones that are attracting all these insects." "What if it's more than chemistry or hormones?" "More than biology?" "Dylan's not just attracting these bugs he's using them to act out." "Yes, but against what?" "We saw him talking to a girl." "The one in the Dumb Ass video." "Captain Dare's girlfriend." "[Rock Ballad Playing On CD]" "[Volkswagen Engine Chugging]" "Natalie..." "[Whispers] Natalie?" "Dylan?" "What are you doing?" "I need to talk to you, Dylan." "[Whispers] You have to be quiet..." "It's my mom, she's going to hear you." "[Whispers] I'm coming up." "What?" "No." "Hey..." "You're going to break your neck." "I needed to see you." "Shh." "I haven't been here in so long." "Since 4th grade." "After school." "It was a Wednesday in April." ""A dream in a mist of gray."" "That's from a Syd Barrett song." "How do you know all these things?" "My dad told me." "Syd Barrett, he was in the band Pink Floyd." "He was, like this brilliant guy that nobody understood." "Kind of like you?" "Me?" "I never said I was sorry when your dad disappeared, Dylan." "I never said a lot of things." "But I want to say them now." "I know you've always cared about me." "We've grown apart, but..." "I haven't forgotten you." "And... after we talked this morning at school" "I realized... how special you really are to me." "I can't believe this." "After what happened to Bill..." "I realized how important it is to have someone who does understand you and..." "I wanted to do this." "That... that was amazing." "[Chuckles]" "[Whimpers]" "What..." "What... was that?" " What was what?" " Your... your..." "Your mouth, your tongue... there's something wrong with you." "No, don't-don't say that." " I got to go." " Natalie, please." "Please, don't." "Just stay." "Let me talk to you." "[Engine Starting]" "[Crying]" "Natalie, listen to me!" "Natalie, please..." "Hey, Bug Boy!" "How about we go for a little buzz around the block." "[Winky] So, Lokensgard... how'd you do it, huh?" "How'd you kill him?" "I thought bugs killed Captain Dare." "Yeah, bugs who do what you say." "You want to know how I did it?" "I'll show you." "But maybe you should get your camera ready." "What are you talking about?" "I just have to open my mouth." "Oh, God!" "[Tires Squealing]" "[Glass Shattering]" "Mrs. Lokensgard?" "Dylan?"

"I have." "I'd like to think of it as a hymenopteran relationship." "Two scientists using their special knowledge reaching higher than either of them could ever reach alone."

"[Groaning In Pain]" "[Moaning]" "[Coughing]" "[Moaning]" "Oh, God." "Ow!" "God!" "David Winkle, is that you?" "Yeah." "Now that's a dumb ass." "It wasn't a stunt, it was, uh... it was Dylan Lokensgard." "He attacked us." "He attacked you?" "Yeah, the dude's a freakin' bug." "He chewed right out the back window." "Ow!" "[Groaning]" "You stay." "I'll go see that Dylan didn't head to that girl's house." " [Phone Ringing]" " Scully." "Where are you?" "I'm with Rocky at the Lokensgard house." "But there's nobody here." "Yeah, well, I'm afraid the kid's on a tear." "He's caused a car accident out here on Glenhaven Road." "How'd he do that?" "You better see for yourself." "[Beeping]" "C-13 calliphorone." "I'm getting a stiff new reading from up here." "Yeah, Dylan's bedroom's up there." "Unfortunately, he's not in it." "Where are you going?" "The kid's on a rampage." "Whoa!" "You got my number, partner." "Natalie?" "Whoever you are, leave me alone." "Natalie, I'm Monica Reyes, with the FBI." "I'm here because I need your help." "It's about Dylan Lokensgard." "Don't say that name around me!" "It's important." "You may be the key to this, to stopping him." "Dylan Lokensgard is a freak!" "I thought he was the normal one." "I think Dylan was normal, just like any other kid." "Whatever it is he's going through it has to do with what he's becoming." "He kissed me!" "And it's probably what he's living for." "And now it's probably why he lost all control and attacked David Winkle and his brother." "He attacked Winky?" "They're going to be okay." "We just want to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else, Natalie." "All right?" "[Whimpers]" "Come with me." "[Shuddering Gasp]" "[Natalie Whimpering]" "Why did you run from me?" "What is wrong with you?" "I'm different, Natalie." "Isn't that what you wanted?" "Somebody different from Bill and Winky?" "You killed Bill." "To keep you from being killed."

"You'll be doing nothing of the sort." "You don't want to cross me, Mom." "I am not some kid everybody can kick around anymore." "You think I don't know what you are?" "It's what I've been trying to tell you, Dylan to save you from what you are about to do." "These are the things I couldn't tell you." "The things I couldn't tell your father." "You are not like the other kids." "You never will be." "Monica!" "Monica!" "[Muffled Shout]" "Holy Mother..." "Monica, hold on!" "Can you hear me?" "Monica, can you breathe?" "Monica, talk to me."

"A biological anomaly, whose difference from the rest ofhumanity could be hidden only for so long." "However strong Dylan Lokensgard's yearning to fit in, to win acceptance, to love and to be loved he could not defeat the unseen forces which direct behavior." "In the struggle between our desire to determine who and what we will be and the identity which biology defines for us there can only be one outcome."

"Nobody's going to believe you." "Oh,of course they will." "I have a very trustworthy source - you." "And no doubt,if anyone goes looking for proof, well,I think they're going to find it." "But I must say," "I am impressed." "Here you were, sitting on a story that could have earned you a major headline, and you chose to protect your friend instead." "Not a hard decision to make when you actually care about someone." "It's values like that that keep your career in the basement." "Don't you just love the internet?"

"Most police aren't from smallville." "You remember smallville, don't you?" "You were a rookie reporter for kscw who went for the second meteor shower." "Moth got a little too close to the flame, and your news van took a nosedive into crater lake." "My guess is you walked out with some sort of special ability." "From what I found out, mike dawson wasn't your first victim,was he?" "Nobody likes an overachiever." "Hey,sullivan!" "You want to rise above sea level, you better sharpen those teeth!" "Oh,my god!" "She came out of nowhere!" "It's okay." "She's gone now." "Whoo!" "Yes!" "Hey,how are the secret adventures of lois and jimmy?" "Busted,huh?" "Oh,my god." "What happened to your face?" "Oh,you should see the other guy." "Who did that to you?" "You can put your dueling pistol away." "It was just a workplace scuffle." "You were right about lake." "Looks like we're 2 for 2 tonight,huh?" "I want you to be the first one to take a look at this." "Check it out - green arrow." "I got real pictures of him - face and all." "And this one's not yet rated." "I feel dirty." "Think about how oliver feels." "Lois and clark put this whole scheme together because they thought oliver was green arrow." "Pow- poor sucker comes around the corner, catches her sucking lip with leather daddy." "This - this is the real money shot." "Get ready to meet the green arrow." "No." "No,no,no,no." "This is not happening." "I had his face in the cross hairs!" "How could he be there one second, and then just gone like the '90s?" "Gone as in faster than a thousandth-of-a-second shutter speed?" "Yeah." "Weird." "Always thought he was supercool." "I didn't realize he was superhuman." "Clark." "What's going on?" "Uh,lois was just telling me about her exciting night last night." "I don't know where you disappeared to last night, but it turns out I was wrong about oliver." "He's not the green arrow!" "Can you believe that?" "Luckily,oliver showed up when our hero was still around, but it looks like you were way off base about him." "And the craziest part is he chucked a guy across an alley,right?" "Oh,yeah." "And then supersped away." "I mean,who does that?" "It's a good thing oliver showed up when he did." "Then you know for sure." "Oh,she knew before he showed up." "You did?" "Ask her how." "How?" "I kissed him." "Isn't that romantic?" "Oh,I'm sorry,lois." "Finish the story." "This is the best part." "Well,he was holding me in his arms." "And ollie's a good kisser - don't get me wrong - but that green arrow,he could teach ollie a thing or two." "Hey." "You took off early last night." "You okay?" "I just keep running what happened through my head." "Lana, you can't blame yourself." "It wasn't your fault." "That part I'm pretty clear on." "Look,nobody wanted to see her die, but if you hadn't come when you did, it would have been my obit on the front page." "Maybe." "Of section D." "Anyway,um, thank you again." "How do you do that?" "Just brush it under the rug as if nothing happened?" "Lana,linda wasn't the first freak of nature who went psycho." "No." "I mean whatever it is you're protecting about clark." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Yes,you do." "Some secret about a farm boy made you take a hammer to her computer before I could hear the rest." "Come on,chloe." "I'm not that naive." "Whatever it is you two have been hiding, do you really expect me to keep looking the other way?" "Linda was grasping at straws." "She's always desperate for her next story." "You know that better than anyone." "Lana I would never do anything to hurt you." "That's what clark always says." "Sorry that you had to find out like this." "It's okay." "You don't have to tell me every little detail of your life anymore." "Clark,we both know that a proposal is more than a little ... detail." "And as messed up as it is you were the first person that I wanted to tell." "Is that supposed to make me feel better?" "Clark,you said that you didn't love me anymore, and I tried to cut everything off, but I'm not made that way." "Even if we're not talking, you are still a part of my life, and I'm not trying to deny it anymore." "I'm trying to put it into perspective." "I guess we both need to do that." "Chloe said that you came by to talk to me." "What was it about?" "Whatever secret chloe is helping you to protect,clark please,just once just trust me." "It doesn't matter now." "Clark,don't do that." "I know about the baby." "Lex told me." "Everything's changed." "Even the fact that you told me that you look back at the past and regret it every day?" "Has that changed,too?" "I guess that I can't ask you to see me the same way." "Lana." "I hope lex makes you very happy." "A million dollars for your thoughts." "Sorry." "My comic timing is the first to go after my nerves." "You know,in all my life, I've..." "I've never made an offer when I was afraid of the answer." "Till now." "You've been so patient." "Doesn't feel like it." "I went to see clark." "And?" "And I love him." "I love both of you." "And maybe I always will." "Lex,I couldn't say yes to you knowing that I might look back with regrets." "You deserve better than that." "Lana,with the life I've led," "I go to bed praying every night that I don't get what I deserve." "You get bitter... and vengeful." "And then you meet someone who's so good that she might be the one person who could learn to love you." "I would wait forever for that." "You don't have to." "I'm done looking back." "I have someone right in front of me who I know trusts me and who lets me see sides of him no one else does." "So just for clarification... yes,lex luthor." "I will marry you."

"Something I haven't done for a month." "You have soap on your head." "Jeannie!" "Oh, no." ""Oh, no?" You know what's on this laptop?" " Everything!" " Oh!" "My new hour set!" "12 months of notes, gone." " Okay." "I'm sorry." " You're sorry?" "This is my job." "This is our income." "I have one thing... one thing in this overcrowded, horrible apartment that's mine and it's ruined." "Everything important in my life is on this laptop." "You don't back up everything on a hard drive?" "Jim, relax." "They're just children." "No, there is too many children, Jeannie." "Oh, nice." "Nice, Jim." " Why don't you go take a walk?" " Ja, to Canada." "Come here." "You're okay." "Come here." "Jim." "Where are you off to?" "Since I can't nap in my own apartment," "I'm off to drown my sorrows in overpriced guacamole." " Oh, you have a wonderful day." " Wonderful day?" "This is the worst day of my life." "Well, do you want to come to the church and talk about it?" "No, no, no, no." "I'm not going in there." " That's where it all started." " What started?" "The wedding and the baptism and the four other baptisms." " What?" "That's beautiful, Jim..." " No, it's not beautiful." "Because of your kooky religion, my wife is so crazy we already have five kids and it may never stop." "I-I-I know it's hard sometimes, Jim, but deep down, you know what you value most in your heart." " I will pray for you." " How about this for a prayer:" "I wish I'd never gotten married and had kids." "How about that one?" "Yeah, well, your camping jokes are better." "That one needs a lot of work." "Mrs. Gagliano!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey." "Hey." "Hey, man." "Ugh!" "I really appreciate you helping me out there." "Whoa, you banged your head pretty hard when those bikes ran you over." "Bloomberg and his stupid bikes." "You okay?" "Your face looks really puffy." "No, that's just what I look like normally." "I-I-I got to get home." "Here, let me help you." " Hey, are you, uh..." " Please, let me help you." "No, I-I-I'm fine." "Thanks." "You really went crazy with the cleaning this time." "I'm the only one who cleans around here." "You got your half of the rent this month or what?" "What are you doing here?" "What?" "I don't go to D.C. until tomorrow." "No, no." "What are you doing here?" "In this general area?" "I don't know." "I like the couch." "Does my hair look different?" "What?" "No." "It looks the same." "Very Aryan." " Whoo." " Jeannie..." "Oh, I feel like I just lost ten pounds." " P.S., you're out of spray." " Lovely." "Hey, hot pocket guy." "What the hell, Dave?" "Get that girl out of here." "Why should I, man?" "You're the one who brought her home." "What?" "I've never seen her before, and Jeannie would kill me if she saw her." "I'm going back to bed." "You coming?" "Hmm?" "Awkward." "Okay." " Where's Jeannie?" " Who is this Jeannie?" " Where is Jeannie?" " Who is Jeannie?" "More importantly, where is my rent?" "Have you been gambling again?" "Everybody, come on out." "All right." "We had our fun." "Jim, are you tripping again?" "You're in your 40s, man." "It's time for you to grow up." "This is ridiculous, all right?" "This joke's over." "I'm..." "I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna go find Jeannie, all right?" "You better go find some help, man." "Seriously." "Or I'm gonna kick you out." "You!" "Steve Buscemi!" "I'm not Steve Buscemi." "How hard did I hit my head?" "You didn't hit your head." "You never got run over by those bikes because you never married Jeannie." "Okay." "You're not Steve Buscemi." "You're a crazy guy." " I'm not crazy." " You know, I-I-I'll take it from here, whoever you are." "Thank you." "Father Nicholas." "You got to help me, please." "Yes, yes." "Of course." "How can I help?" "I know I was out of line, but you have to understand, the kids have been sick." "I haven't slept in a week, and I-I was run over by a pack of hipsters on bikes." " You okay?" " Yeah, yeah, I mean," "Steve here... or whatever his name is... helped me get to my apartment, and then I guess I was a jerk to Jeannie, 'cause she's made it look like Dave is my roommate." " Dave is your roommate." " Dave is not my roommate." "Anyway, Jeannie and the kids are gone and now there's some weird drunk lady in her underwear in my apartment." " I can see why you are upset." " Right?" " Yes." " Do you know where she is?" " Who?" " Jeannie?" " Who's Jeannie?" " Who's Jeannie?" "You know who Jeannie is." "How about this guy?" " He doesn't know who Jeannie is." " He doesn't know Jeannie." "Would you stay out of this?" "I don't know who you are." "I didn't invite you into this conversation." " This guy is just crazy." " Mm." " You know?" " Mm-hmm." "Uh, my son, I do not know you, but there's always a place for you here." "Are you hungry?" "What?" "Yes." "Always." "Okay." "I-I got to go." "I..." "I got to find someone who knows who I am." "What?" "Wait, wait." "What?" "Oh, sure." "Now you come." "W-w-what happened?" "It was always packed in here." "This is where I go for alone time away from my wife and kids." "You don't need alone time away from your wife and kids." "You don't have a wife and kids." "All you have is alone time, Nathan." " Jim." "My name is Jim." " I'm sorry." "Nathan is the other guy I'm helping." "He's big, like you." "Helping?" "Who the hell are you?" "I'm your fairy godmother." "Let's get you to the ball." "I'm your guardian angel!" "What... my guardian angel is Steve Buscemi?" "No, I just look like him." "It was either this or Whoopi Goldberg, but she's in Ghost, and then it would be too confusing." "That would be confusing?" "Maybe I am tripping." "All right, I'm getting to it." "Jesus." "Jim, you wished you didn't have a wife and kids, so now you don't." "Okay, you're crazy." "Jeannie." "Jeannie." "Kids." "Oh, uh, excuse me." "Sorry." " Eve." " Yes?" "Eve." "Have you seen Jeannie and the kids?" " I-I got to find my kids." " Who are your kids?" "You know, Mary, James, Elizabeth, Joseph, Maggie?" "Wow, that's a lot of kids to lose." "Sorry, I don't know your kids." "They're... they're in your school." "I don't have any kids by that name in my school." "I'm sorry." "I hope you find 'em." "But..." "You have to be careful what you wish for, Nathan." "Jim." "My name is Jim." "Oh, right." "Sorry." "So, I have no wife." "No kids." "My roommate is Dave Marks." "Am I still a comedian?" "Oh, yes." "You are a comedian." "Let me show you." "H-how'd we end up here?" "I'm an angel, you idiot." "Can all go to hell!" "Blanca?" "W-wait." "This is my friend." "I don't know you!" "But..." "Blanca?" "What?" "Oh, [bleep]!" "Oh, [bleep] yes!" "Yo, keeping it real, man." " You the OGG, Original Gaffigan Gangsta." " Gangsta." "Yo, man." "My mom [bleep] flipped her [bleep]" "When she listened to your album," "Mom's Are Crazy Old [bleep]." "Yo, Mom's Are Crazy Old [bleep], that album is on fleek." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but the greatest album, though," " is [bleep] Are Crazy [bleep]." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." " That was crazy." " What are they talking about?" ""On fleek" is a compliment." " It started as a term for smooth eye..." " That's not what I meant." "Yo, he's talking to himself." "He's probably tripping right now." "What is he doing?" "Gilbert." "It's bad enough you stole my dead baby jokes." "Did you have to steal my September 11 bit too?" " What?" " Roll me over there." " Oh, hey, Whitney." "Oh, jeez." " You're disgusting." " What?" " For you to talk about my [bleep] for 30 minutes on stage like I would ever let you [bleep] my [bleep]?" "I... you know, I never..." "What is she talking about?" "It wasn't your best moment." " Just, no, don't." " No, you do..." "You're dead to me." "Wh... what happened?" "Why does everyone think I'm so offensive?" "Well, you never married Jeannie, so she never encouraged you to keep your jokes out of the gutter." "Hi, Nathan." "Would you leave me alone?" "I don't need your help." "My life is just fine." "You got it?" "In fact, it's wonderful!" "Who are you talking to?" "Nobody." "Let's get a drink." " Steve." " I'm not Steve." "I want my old life back." "I-I-I..." "I miss Jeannie and the kids." "I don't care if me getting married and having five kids means that I get no sleep and I lose all my hair and I get fat." "I just want my family back." "To be clear, you're fat in both situations." "Oh, you know what I mean." "Where's Jeannie?" "I-I got to find her." "Where is she?" "I can't tell you that." "Just tell me where she is." "Tell me." "Tell me!" "Tell me where she is!" " Where is she?" " I-I-I..." "Where is Jeannie?" "Tell me!" "You tell me where Jeannie is!" "Macaulay, the mental health crisis in this city is not good." "Wait, is that Drew Carey?" "Tell me!" "Drew Carey is way skinnier than that guy." "This guy is a..." " Tell me where Jeannie is!" "Tell me!" " big fat blob." "Where is Jeannie?" "S-she's closing up the library!" "Oh, this library." "That's way worse than the library I thought you meant." "Jeannie works in this bar?" "W-what about the kids?" "Jeannie owns this bar and she never had kids." "But that's impossible." "Jeannie loves children." "We're closed." "Jeannie." "How do you know my name?" "I-I-it's me." " Your husband, Jim." " My husband?" "No, my husband's over there." "W-wait, is that Daniel?" "This guy bothering you, baby?" "You married Daniel?" "Oh, my God." "Are you Jim Gaffigan?" "Baby, it's Jim Gaffigan." "The stand-up comedian." "I love you." "You're so filthy, but you know what?" "You started my love affair with food." "Jeannie, w... what did you do to your hair?" " It looks like David Beckham's." " I like it." "All right, you better get out of here or my husband's gonna kick your ass." "What's he gonna do?" "Sit on me?" "You didn't marry Daniel, you married me, and I want it all back." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Jeannie, I made a horrible mistake." "You made me a better person." "You made me a better comedian." "You... you made me believe in God." "Oh, of course." "Jesus freak." "Jeannie!" "I love you." "We have five beautiful children." "Children?" "I hate children." " Hey, man." " Eh?" "Boy, you banged your head pretty hard when those bikes ran you over." "Bloomberg and his stupid bikes." "Are you okay?" "Your face is really puffy." "My face is puffy?" "My face is puffy." "Wh...?" "Elizabeth's ducky." "A-are you Steve Buscemi?" "No." "I'm Whoopi Goldberg." "Yeah, it's me." "You're Steve Buscemi!" "You're Steve Buscemi!" "Jeannie!" "Jeannie!" " Jeannie!" "Kids!" " Hey, Jim." "Hi, daddy!" "Where have you been?" "I'm bald!" "I'm bald!" "Jim, what has gotten into you?" "I had the craziest dream." "They let you and me do our own TV show." "Like that would ever happen." "And there were actors that played you and the kids and our friends." " That is crazy." " Yeah." "But you know what's even crazier?" " What?" " They're all here right now." " Great first season, Jim and Jeannie." " It was "eh."" " Well, I can't wait for the next season." " So much fun." "To Jim Gaffigan, the fattest comedian on TV Land." "Aww."

""Jingis sleeps on a rubber sheet." "He's a bed wetter."" ""He use to piss either in the morning or directly after he falls asleep."" "That darn old hag." "When she makes cocoa it barely fills an egg-cup each..." "at the most." "And tomorrow we'll have turnips... with stewed concrete." "Get your pissed sheets out of here." "I could do some scratching in the box of the old hag." "She's the boss, isn't she?" "She should be removed." "She?" "The whole bloody Objectivity." "We could do well on our own." " Krister and we." " And start a kind of labour union." "We have a chairman." "Not at all a bad idea." "Chairman of "United Thieves Union'... with a salary." "Really..." "Were do we keep the funds?" "In the vault of The National Bank?" "Well, don't you trust me?" "Do you think I'd run off with the loot?" "We must have four cashiers, constantly watching each other;" "grumpy, mistrusting blokes." "Two locks and two safes." "Two vaults and two of everything to prevent every single bastard from entering." "Look at those poor, bloody blue collars." "Bloody blue collars!" "They are as good robbers as are we ... only they don't call it stealing." "They call it 'fringe benefits', 'borrowing' and bloody other names." "And drunken driving." "Could that be a habit?" ""Some boozing every now and then." "So what?"" "What's the worst, get your car and some money stolen.." "or get a year for drunken driving?" "...Or get juvenile reformatory." "A bloody car they'll get back in a couple of hours, money they don't honestly own." "Do you believe in God, Krister?" "I do." "Be careful with 'Godly'!" "When he's hungry he roams the streets and eats your kind." "Nisse!" "Well, social developing merely tiptoes." "Our ability to take care of each other ... does not develop in the same rate as technology and standards." "Nisse." "Nisse!" "Eh ..." "leave that door, please." "Come, take part in our conversation instead." "I do see your uneasiness." "It's tragic that some people must suffer due to this long-winded development." "They didn't care!" "They didn't do a bloody thing to help me." "But now I only wish to be left alone." "You speak of The Objectivity, and yet you've never been in their claws." "My God, what have you done?" "Don't you stand the sight of blood?" "Are you grinding mincemeat?" "You scumbag, can't you see the guy's wrecked himself?" "Wrecked himself?" "It's self-inflicted." "You complain of injustice, told by others." " Then you judge yourselves the hardest." " That's our business, isn't it?" "Who's complaining did you say?" "Fish, go and get the first aid kit." "Hurry, please." "I made complaints to point at the inequities." "Take it easy." "They love to whine." "Who do you mean?" "Who's whining did you say?" "Whine yourself, you puny, bloody, shitty, rotten louse." "Stop this, Egon!" "Please." " What the hell are you ...?" " Egon!" "This was so very unnecessary." "Should I have let him use his knife?" "Should I?" "Shall I just be standing here and take all ..." "You know him." "You didn't have to be that brutal." "Bloody socialist, bloody ass, bloody inspector, bloody superintendent, bloody Djurgården-fan!" "And I shall take all this?" "He started!" "Bloody chief editor, bloody clerk, bloody custom officer, bloody criminal inspector, bloody assistant secretary!" "My father is a principal assistant secretary." "My old man's brain was so rotten that he even had to rape my mom." "He had to fuck her for three weeks before he could lit his fireworks." "And she was howling all the time, because he bloody hurt her." "His dick was as large as a horse's dick." "My gosh!" "If my father got to know that I'd done such a bad thing, he'd hated me." ""...because she got syphilis, and when I came ..."" ""And it took three weeks because it was so darn hot."" ""Then she howled because my old man wouldn't leave her alone."" ""She was so tight, that I had to creep out through her ass hole."" "She made no difference to your ol' man when you'd arrived." "That bony bitch." "Your whore of a mother, had to beg for a lay," "When she didn't get it, she ran to the Monkeys at the Zoo." "She found a half-witted ape and raped him ..." "Your father!" "Strange, isn't it?" "Don't puke in here!" "Do your puking in the bathroom!" "If you think we'll wipe up, you're dead wrong." "Lick them up yourself!" "You bloody runt!" " Egon!" " You dumb-ass!" "If you cannot stop fighting, you'll end up at the hospital." " Shall we...?" " No." "Something fishy about this." "Why does he keep it locked?" "I bet he's keeping a whore in there." "Really?" "But how does she get fed?" ""If you want to make a key, you must buy two or three blanks;"" ""if you should file too much on the first one."" ""The part of a key you are filing is called 'the bit'."" ""It could do with an imprint."" ""After some filing, cover the bit with molten wax."" ""Then you turn the key in the lock,"" ""to see where the key does not fit."" ""If it doesn't fit already, that is."" ""Well, I made a key ..." "to that door."" ""He had no right to hide things."" ""They feel betrayed, all the time,"" "by every person on every level." "There, there now." "Take some advice from an old colleague:" "Pay heed not to identify yourself too much with the objects we study." "What's the use if I cannot identify myself with them?" "Who else should put forward their complaints?" "They cannot!" "Good." "Good." "You keep your fangs sharp." "We need your ability to protest." "Our Swedish society would wither away, if there were not ... younger people ..." "who could stand up for a cause." "Sometimes I dream about a kind of Final Judgment." "Not of the judgment per se ... but to enable everyone to see clearly ... and to disable the ability to close your eyes." "And then a great silence ... so all ears could rest from all explanations." "No investigations, ... no denials." "Nothing." "No possibilities to escape, to defend or to make excuses." "We have become so talented!" "What are you doing in here?" "How did you get in?" "Who allowed you to ..." "Jingis?" "Jingis!" "Stop!" "Stop, Jingis!" "Are you angry, Krister?" "Not exactly angry but ..." "Come forth, Nisse." "Krister is not angry." "This grand piano belonged to my mother." "I was just playing a little." "Go on playing, Jingis." "Krister is all happy if it's used, and no longer is kept hidden." " It belonged to my mother, Nisse." " Where is she?" "I just played from memory." "I never touched the music sheets." "Well, Krister didn't know that you play the piano." "This is nothing." "I can play much better." "Jingis." "Jingis, please!" "Do keep on playing, Jingis." "He doesn't mean it." "He wouldn't make you second to his dead old mother." "Of course you can play it sometimes." "Occasionally." "Well, it never occurred to me." "I'm sorry." "It never came into my mind." "It's nice in here." "Maybe we should leave." "Or we could invite the others." "Maybe you don't want to?" "Why did you never mention, that you had a secret room, so nice that we could not be invited." "You'd better have the key." "If so, I can make a new one." "I don't really feel I've let your down, by not mentioning this room." "Come on, Jingis." "Then I gave my opinion of him, that bastard." "Of course he boiled over." "And the girl?" "What became of her?" "She?" "She had no options." "I was the only one left." "What the heck." "She had to pay me for fucking that guy." "So I sent her in the street to work and get some money for booze." "You bet we had a nice time." "In bed, I mean." "It reminds me of that babe I met in the Old City." "I remember an old lady who tricked me into her flat." "I lived in the Kransen some years ago, and there also lived this gorgeous babe." "One at a time please." "I have time for you all." "Let Pyret continue." "Oh ..." "What do I see?" "." "The later the day, the better the guests." "Do join us." "Here's space enough." "Do enter." "I was twelve; went to school." "There was this old hag my mother used to talk to." "One day she invited me to her flat." "I had no second thoughts, so I stepped in." "Well, I had noticed her eager eyes on me sometimes;" "and some fondling now and then." "So what?" "She was an old lady for god's sake!" "How old was she?" "How should I know?" "... Well, around 30 years." "Anyhow, she said she could mend my trousers." "No, it started with me fixing a lamp for her." "What the fuck." "I didn't strip off my trousers that easy." "Then she started this fondling thing." "Of course I got exited!" "I had never done it before." "And?" "Well, I had a pretty nice time." "She must have felt the same." "She was moaning and all that." "Then she never left me alone." "She was watching for me every day." "If I said I wasn't in the mood, she gave me chocolate and stuff." "When you didn't fuck?" "She had had a hard life." "She and my mom used to talk about that." "Did your mom never find out?" "Well, there were rumours." "Of course I denied it fiercely." "But I wasn't allowed to visit people any more." "And you obeyed your mother of course?" "She never left me alone!" "I hardly dared to go home after school." "I know a similar girl." "Marie on Bastugatan Street." "I once met this hooker on Central Station." "I got her undressed and upon her bed." "When I should screw her, she told me to go to sleep." "Then she grabbed a newspaper and started reading the advertisements." "I was pissed, screwed her and went home to sleep." "Listen to me!" "I was waiting for the subway." "I was going to Stockholm from were we lived." "A girl came to me and said:" ""You may if you want to", she said." "Well." "What did you answer?" "It was bright noon." "... Ouch, why are you pinching me?" "Nobody is pinching anybody." "Yes, you did." "I could feel it." "You did like this." "Ouch, I cut myself!" "I got a wound." "Why did you do that?" "Why did you cut that poor boy." "He's done you no harm." "Let me have a look." "Did you do this?" " Do what?" " Jump on someone of your own size instead!" "Stand up when I'm talking to you!" "Nisse!" " Did you do this to him?" " No." "I don't have to ask." "I saw it with my own eyes, but I demand an answer!" "Well?" "I know nothing." "You 'know nothing' of this?" "Are you that disrespectful?" "Do you deny it straight to my face?" "Something that evident!" "Deliberate sadism is one of the most repulsive acts ever." "I saw it with my own eyes." "Answer me!" "He might have been cut by this." "I was fiddling it." " You pricked me with..." " Shut your mouth!" "You do not order him what to say or not." "He lies." "In this room there's only one liar." "Believe what you wish." "Watch your step, Nisse." "I will not tolerate this kind of behaviour." "What happened?" "Bloody Nisse." "He cut Jingis' hand with a nail file." "This loony is totally brain-dead." "Lock him in for good!" ""He understood nothing."" ""Nobody understood."" "How the hell can you sit here, as a common laughing-stock." "You block-heads." "Don't you see he'll use everything against you?" "Do you think this survey will last for ever?" "Where will you end up when this is over?"

"You shouldn't misjudge him, Nisse." " He's saved your backs more than you might believe." " He has?" "You have to admit that?" "Well, you shouldn't never poke in old wounds, but..." "This tape recorder." "You must admit he's the one who got you out of it." "I mean ..." "I too was under pressure, since you'd promised to return it." "Well, I don't blame you, Nisse." "If the inspector had not interfered, so ..." "I really shouldn't say this." "It was meant as a surprise." "You'll get new furniture for the lounge next week."

"We should be at the amusement park instead." "You could have a lot of fun for 140 bucks." "155!" "140!" "That bastard invested in a new hat." "Hesitating are we?" "When things are getting serious?" "Okey, back out!" "I don't mind." "Go and socialize." "I'll do fine on my own." ""Who's there?"" "Excuse me." "Speak to them." "Say what we're after." "I do." "'Excuse me', is that German?"

"Come on!" "Not good!" "But she wanted to." "What did he say?" "He said it was no pleasure, since she was too willing." "Eighteen." ""Achtzehn" what does that mean?" "'Eighteen' isn't it?" "Eighteen!" "The bid was sixteen fifty a minute ago." "You can't keep on bargain like an old hag." "We'll get that difference back when we sell the bottles." "How many can we get?" "Seven. 126 crowns." "Fine, that'll leave us some change." "Seven." "We'd better check the bottles." "They might have been opened." "You cannot do that!" "They are buddies." "Take the bottles and leave." "I'll join you after I've fixed something." " See anybody?" " No." " Let's go on shore." " Yes." " Where's Egon?" " He should talk himself to that babe." "What the fuck, are you all sleeping?" "Nisse, wake up." "A rotten style, Jingis." "Sleeping all morning." " Is this your quarters?" " Yep." "In the upper bunk, but let's eat first."

"I wouldn't touch you with a barge pole!" "Oh Ray ..." "Come here boy." "You may it you want." "No idea." "As you wish." "I don't care." ""Krister was my sole target."" ""I calculated his weak spots."" ""My mind was not really focused on her."" ""My plans for Krister turned out just fine."" ""Everything went according to my plans."" "We didn't do this." "We didn't do this." "We would tell you if we knew where he'd gone." "We couldn't stop him." "We can help you to search for it." "To prove we didn't do this, we'll help you." "Where is it all?" " Where?" " Yes." "I sold it." "You sold it?" "And of course I am the one to blame, though I don't know why." "Maybe you think I'm having false pretensions." "At first I had in mind to become a biologist." "I cannot recall what made me study people, if you don't mind me saying so." "Where's the money?" "You cannot have spent it all?" "What I got for the grand piano is in the postal bank." "On what bank account?" "Nine, zero ... , zero, zero, six, two." "Who's account is that?" "The fund raise for the leprous." "The leprous ..." "Where is the great piano?" "At a piano shop." "The furniture?" "At a buyer's." "If I can get that money, will you show me?" "I want it back." " You don't have that money." " I must have it all back!" "Well, if you meet me early Monday morning, with the money." "Honestly, do you have the money?" "Search me if you wish." "Bloody hell." "Leave my pockets alone!" "I've made phone calls to everyone I know." "I'm short of 470 crowns ." "There is a person who might help you." "Who?" " No ... that would be improper." " No, tell me." "Who?" " No, I've changed my mind." " Don't you trust me to pay him back?" " That's not the cause." " What then?" "Do you think he'll refuse?" "'She' rather." "Does she have that money?" "Ask her." "Wouldn't she find it odd, if I ...?" "You ask her." "I don't need any money." "This fella has something to say." "She must think it's odd that I ..." "She might misunderstand." "Please, Nisse, you ask her." "He needs money." "470 crowns." "Tell her why." "What for." "To buy back his furniture I stole from him." " Can you get it for him?" " Tell her I will of course pay her back." "If you accompany me." "Is she in favour?" ""He understood nothing."" ""We took a taxi from the Central Station."" ""Steva said we'd only stick to persons in cars." "Easier that way."" ""A great deal of car going that night."" ""First I bought her a bottle at Norrmalm's Square;"" ""for 25 crowns .. that I had to pay;"" ""or should I say, Krister."" ""To provide Steva with customers was easy."" ""They swarmed like flies around her."" ""She could be choosy."" ""We were at Djurgården twice."" ""once at Lill-Jansskogen, "" ""next to the gasometer"" ""I saw her through the rear window."" ""Then once at the Engelbrekt Church."" ""She did it twice in the car." "Then I had to step outside."" ""She told them I'd let the dog loose, if they tried to cheat her."" ""I once made use of you, Ray."" ""When a queer turned up and insinuated that I ..."" ""When I returned with you, he ran off."" ""We took a taxi downtown."" ""It was already light."" ""All the doves were cooing."" "Dammit, my back is aching." "If you want me to go upstairs, you'll have to carry me." "And this bloody dog." "He should be put to death!" "Carry me!" "No bloody pimp must ever kick me!" "Give me my money, that I have earned." "The Money!" "Shall we leave it there?" "You said it's yours." "I won't pick it up." "Pick it up!" "How much is it?" "490." "Check her bag." "Not a penny!" "What'll Krister say about this?" "Krister!" "He's the one to have the money." "I know another funny story, about Bellman." "Ask him!" "Come, let's go ask him." "Do you know what time it is?" "You cannot be so drunk that you've forget all about time." "Join us." "We'll deliver the money now." "You needed money." "There is 20 crowns too much." "Give it to Steva." "She's fixed them for you." "I don't know how to thank you." "I ..." "I never thought this of you, Krister." "So that's your dark side." "Will you turn the whole Pension into a brothel?" "Steva is just a start." "And Nisse." "Because he sold your old furniture, he too must work for you." "You was only thinking of the furniture." "Your sole concern was the furniture." "You might think that I will consent to let my doll work in the streets for you." "You bloody pimp!" "What's the big deal?" "I'll get the money back." "I know another funny story, about Bellman." "Get it back!" "Dreamer!" "You'll never have a penny." "On the contrary!" "You nit-wit!" "Had I only known." "What about me?" "I cannot accept it." "I'm sorry, but I cannot." "What do you mean 'sorry'?" "How about some gratitude?" "I had a hell of a time getting it, and now, nobody wants it." "Do you think I'll accept bribes?" "This is so yucky it makes me puke." "And afterwards I don't even get a 'thank you'." "On the contrary." "So, the whole thing was in vain." "If you think you can get out of this, you are so wrong." "I'll call the police!" "I must thank you for the lesson you've given me, Nisse." "I realize I don't know that much about myself ... or about life." "I had no idea that I had these depths inside of me." "You have opened my eyes." "You earn the credit for that." "So, I want to thank you." "Hell." "So you'll start to whine." "What cause do you have to whine?" "And I?" "What should I do?" """ " What time is it?" " Almost five o'clock a.m."" ""No use going to bed."" "Do you think Egon went to the cops?" "Where's Krister?" "That bloody guy." "I tried to help that pig." "Idiot!" "You started it all, by the way." " Would you stop spilling the Brännvin!" " You cannot master me." "Buy your own booze if you fancy it." "Sunday morning." " You bloody whore." " Bog off, wanker!" "You bloody would if I'd let you!" "Ray." "There boy, come to me." "I would prefer you, Ray." "Do it, Ray." "It's for free!" "Not for you." "What I want I take." "Do that!" "Do rape me!" "You are all the same." "Stop shouting!" "I'd better undress right away." "I want it too." "It's my Brännvin." "Give it me!" " Give her a draught." " Isn't she drunk enough already?" "If you'll screw me I'll have to be drunk first." ""That's enough." "Fish, relieve her from the bottle!"" ""So, my little boys are shy?"" ""I can wake the other boys up to increase your number."" ""Then you might be less shy."" ""I don't care."" "One more or less is of no importance." "Not when little boys are fiddling me." "I don't feel it anyhow." "I'll never notice if you are there or not." "But I demand a bed." "Remember that!" "And a mattress." "I'm so dead tired of laying on the ground!" "No way that Egon will call the cops." "Do you think he will?" "Well, are you fit for it?" "Do you think you're capable?" "Here's nothing to be found." "Pyret, get the tweezers." "Yes you hit!" "Fine, you bloody sadist!" "You're capable, when you can beat a naked girl?" "Is this all you can do?" " That's a bloody sewer you've got." " But it still makes you darn horny!" "Don't spill your chances." "Pyret, go and get a bed." "But remove the mattress." "Ray, come here boy!" "What's the matter?" "Come here, Ray." "Come." " I don't know how he ..." " Then show him." ""She had to pay the whole bill."" ""She had to pay for what she did to Krister ..." "and for what I did to him."" ""She had to pay for my bad sides and for Krister's bad sides."" ""And all of it was entangled and simultaneous."" "Leave us alone!" "Who was that?" "Was it Jingis?" "Don't come closer!" "You'd better get dressed." "They are here." "Now you'll get nailed." "You'll have to deliver some answers." "Serves you right, you piece of shit." "No, wrong guys." "That's the guy;" "in the bed." "Leave me alone." "Let me sleep." "Who are you?" "Have a guess." "Do they look like charity nurses?" "This boy have produced severe accusations against you." "We are obliged to make an investigation." "She earned 500 crowns to him." "490." "What difference does it make in this situation?" "I accompanied her when she made the money." "She felt lonely." "See!" "I told you." "You cannot do this, Nisse." "You cannot." "You wreck for everyone." "Don't worry, Krister." "I'll help you!" "No, Jingis." "No, please!" "Seize him!" "Wait." "Wait!" "They blamed me for everything." "They didn't blame me for his death, though."
